ñ Brood val uit n beweegene broodwa en rol n endjie verder, ñ stukkie van die brood breek af, en bly in die straat lê. Drie mossies peil af op die stukkie wat afgebreek het. ’n Hewige bakleier breek los en dit kwetter en skreeu dat jy hul waar kan hoor. Na ’n vreeslike vlerkgeklap kry een die oorhand, en begin die krummels gretig oppik, terwyl die ander twee met luide protes in ’n boom gaan sit en voortgaan met die lawaai. Nie een van hul het die groot brood ’n endjie verder raakgesien nie, hulle was te besig om oor die krummels te baklei!

EK SOEK WERK…….Plaaswerk asb: Ek kan n verkeerde perd opsaal Baie hooi op my vurk laai Ou koeie uit die sloot haal Katte skiet Kan met die hele sak patats vorendag kom Wingerdgriep kry Wrangvrugte pluk Versigtig op eiers loop Goed balke saag Twak verkoop Appels swaai Wys waar David die wortels begrawe het Pêrels voor die swyne werp Met ander se kalwers ploeg Saam met die hoenders slaap Bul by die horings pak En vir wolf skaapwagter maak.
Ons maak rusie oor klein dingetjies in die lewe en ignoreer dit wat eintlik belangrik is. Ons baklei oor die krummels van wie maak skoon en wie moet kook, maar die heel brood van die seën om ñ huis te hê, die sien ons nie raak nie. Ons baklei oor die krummels van wie die motor was en wie moet petrol gaan ingooi, maar die heel brood van seëninge oor ek ’n motor besit, dit sien ek nie raak nie. Ons kwetter oor die krummels van die mense by die werk wat dit en dat doen maar die heel brood van seëninge dat ek n werk het en gesondheid om dit te kan doen, die sien ons nie raak nie. Oor nietighede word ons vir mekaar so kwaad dat kosbare verhoudinge verbreek word. Voordat ons oor die krummels twis kom ons kyk eers rond en sien die brood raak. Die krummels is nie die gevolge van die twis werd nie. Vader laat ek vandag onderskei tussen krummels en die dinge wat werklik saak maak. Laat my die heel brood raak sien en nie die krummels nie.
BY MARISSA LALIBERTE If you’ve heard of a capsule wardrobe, you already know the appeal of a closet pared down to just a handful of items. A streamlined wardrobe makes outfit planning easier. After all, it limits you to just 15 or so versatile pieces you truly love. Each item coordinates with the others, so it’s easy to throw an outfit together. Plus, when you’re committed to a small number of clothes you truly love, you aren’t tempted to waste money on clothes you’ll never wear. As appealing as a capsule wardrobe sounds, though, it can be tough to visualize. With just 15 or so items, won’t you get bored wearing the same outfits all the time? If you build a capsule wardrobe right, every piece will coordinate with all the others. That versatility means you can mix and match endlessly, creating way more outfits than you realized. Don’t believe us? With just 17 items of clothing, Polyvore user kristin727 built six weeks’ worth of work outfits—without repeating a single one. You can copy her template too. Purge your office wardrobe of everything but three pairs of dress pants, one pair of jeans, one skirt, two dresses, two blazers, three long-sleeved tops, one short-sleeved T-shirt, two camisoles, and two sweaters. Now get creative with how you pair the outfits. A suit looks sleek for a big meeting, but that blazer from it looks just as chic paired with jeans for casual Friday. Even a dress gets a totally different look when you play around with accessories. Depending on your office culture (or whatever lifestyle you’re building around), feel free to customize. Swap out the dress pants for more jeans, or drop the dresses in favor of another T-shirt. No matter what your lifestyle is like, you’ll be thankful for a streamlined, clutter-free closet.
It’s not just a fashion statement. BY CLAIRE NOWAK
Queen Elizabeth II certainly knows how to accessorize. You’d be hard pressed to find a picture of Her Majesty without one of her signature Launer handbags. She reportedly owns more than 200 of them! But just as the Queen has a few fascinating secrets about herself, there’s more to these purses than meets the eye. In a fashion that echoes the suave subtlety of James Bond, Queen Elizabeth uses her purse to send secret messages to her staff. These signals help her get out of conversations at any time she pleases. If the Queen moves her classic handbag from its normal spot on her left arm to her right arm while she’s talking with someone, her handlers know that she wants to wrap it up. Putting her bag on the floor is a sign that she needs to be saved from an uncomfortable encounter ASAP. If she’s at dinner and places it on the table, that means she wants to end the event in the next five minutes. Let’s just hope Her Majesty doesn’t send any of these signals if we happen to converse with her. As for what the Queen keeps in her bag, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith says the items aren’t all that different from what normal women carry with them: a mirror, lipstick, mint lozenges, and reading glasses. That just proves Her Majesty knows how to be practical and fashionable.
Porsche C a r s Great Britain wanted to put their Cayenne model to the ultimate test of power and performance by attempting to break a Guinness World Records title. They decided to take on a record held by competitor Nissan Patrol for the Heaviest aircraft pulled by a production car. With a weight of 170.91 tonnes to beat, Porsche sought the help of Air France who offered to let the car manufacturer use one of their Airbus A380 aircrafts for the challenge. The attempt took place at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France under the gaze of meticulous Guinness World Records adjudicator Pravin Patel. Driving a completely standard Porsche Cayenne, GB technician Richard Payne needed to tow the 73m long aeroplane over a course measuring 30.48 m in order to break the record. The car successfully hauled the aircraft out of its maintenance hangar, setting a staggering new record of 284 tonnes. Driver Richard Payne said: “It did it – I’m so relieved. We don’t usually go this far to test the limits of our cars but I think today we got pretty close. What the car did today was remarkable: We drove the car here from London, and I plan to drive it home again having towed an A380 in between.” Judge Pravin also commented on the incredible achievement: “I’ve verified some amazing record attempts during my time as a Guinness World Records adjudicator. Watching a Porsche Cayenne tow one of the largest aircraft in the world definitely ranks as among the most spectacular. My congratulations go out to all those involved in achieving this remarkable feat.”
BY CLAIRE NOWAK The CDC doesn’t mince words: Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in America for both men and women. There are proven ways to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, especially when it comes to diet and lifestyle. When it comes to genetics, that’s a different story. According to the World Heart Federation, having a first-degree relative who has suffered a heart attack or stroke, is diabetic, or has high blood pressure or high cholesterol increases your own risk of cardiovascular disease. Now a new study is adding your blood type to the list of irreversible risk factors that affect your heart health. The blood groups at risk? A, B, and AB. Researchers at the University Medical Centre Groningen in the Netherlands analyzed data from more than 1.3 million people, looking at their blood types and any incidents of cardiovascular events, including heart attack, heart failure, and death. They found that individuals with a non-O blood group had a 9 percent greater risk of cardiovascular events, especially heart attacks, than those with an O blood type. There’s no clear explanation about why this link exists, and further studies needs to be conducted to find that answer. The researchers suggest one reason could be that people with non-O blood types have higher concentrations of von Willebrand factor, a blood-clotting protein that could lead to heart attack or stroke. Non-O blood groups are also known to have high cholesterol, especially those with blood type A. If you don’t have an O blood type, talk to your doctor about how that could impact your risk for a heart attack. In the meantime, evaluate your lifestyle for any surprising heart attack risks that could be making your odds even worse.
We've all heard that our computer camera can be used to spy on us. Is it true? Is it even possible? We got the tech experts to give us the download. BY ALEXA ERICKSON In our tech-driven world, it’s now obvious that our privacy can be easily compromised. If hackers can penetrate the White House, they can likely crack our personal devices. And yet we still use our phones, laptops, tablets, and more, as if that threat doesn’t exist. But can we really afford to ignore it? If you have a modern device capable of getting online, chances are that it has a camera. And if so, there’s a probability that someone is looking for money or a glance at your intimate moments. Such driving factors have made way for a thriving black market for compromised webcams and the videos or photos they can produce. That’s why you may have heard the suggestion to protect yourself by taping over your computer camera and other devices with cameras. The tip is not based simply on paranoia. In 2014, the FBI ran its largest cyber operation to date, in which scores of webcam hackers in more than 12 countries were arrested. The program, called Blackshades, gave users access to “photographs and other files on the victim’s computer and a record all of the keystrokes entered on the victim’s keyboard,” according to a report. It allowed them to steal passwords to the victims’ online accounts, and even activate the victim’s web camera to spy on them, all in secret. And that’s just one vindictive tool that hackers have used on computers around the world. Apparently, there’s some evidence to suggest that the FBI has also hacked into people’s computers in order to access their webcams for surveillance. Many Internet-connected webcams have their own IP address to permit remote access, which lets you connect directly to the webcam from anywhere in the world. However, if your camera is not protected by a strong password (which many of them aren’t), it makes it all that much easier for hackers to infiltrate. As for computer-connected webcams, hackers can use malware to access the cameras. This can happen when you accidentally click a bad link or download a sinister file. “I’m quite confident that my own computer is not infected by malware—yet,” says Mikko Hermanni Hyppönen, a computer security expert and columnist who has assisted law enforcement in the United States, Europe, and Asia since the 1990s on cybercrime cases. “I cover my camera just in case, and to set an example. It’s not a bad idea.” Chief Research Officer at F-Secure, a cyber security and privacy company based in Helsinki, Finland, Hyppönen is known for taking down the Sobig Worm in August of 2003, a computer worm that infected millions of Internet -connected, Microsoft Windows computers. “There are plenty of trojans out there that can spy on you via your computer’s camera. We’ve even seen criminals ask money from people after they have collected embarrassing pictures of them via webcam,” he says. It seems safe to say that, if you don’t want people watching your every move—especially without your permission and when you don’t know it—the only way to protect yourself in terms of your technology is to cover up the camera when not in use. And frankly, it really can’t hurt. It’s just a piece of tape.
BY CLAIRE GILLESPIE The thought of cuddling up to your pooch in bed might give you the warm and fuzzies, but in certain situations, letting your dog sleep in your bed could do you more harm than good. Let’s start at the very beginning: those super cute puppy days. If there’s one type of dog you want snoozing on your duvet, it’s a tiny, baby one, right? Unfortunately, puppies really shouldn’t sleep on your bed, period. “A dog should not sleep in your bed until it is crate trained and potty trained,” says Derick Lengemann, VMD at Lakewood Veterinary Hospital, Mooresville, North Carolina. “Consistency is key to potting training. A puppy won’t go to the bathroom in its crate because it can’t get away from it and they like to be clean. But it can get off the bed and go on the floor. You don’t want to wake up to that. The puppy needs to first understand that the crate is a safe and happy place to reduce the risk of separation anxiety.” If you do let your dog sleep in your bed, it should always be on your terms. You’re the boss, remember! “It is imperative for a dog to understand that it needs to be asked to get on the bed and gets off when told by all parties that sleep in bed,” explains Lengemann. “This decreases possessiveness and possible related aggression.” Indeed, if a dog is showing signs of aggression at all, that’s a big red flag for getting it off your bed, says Irith Bloom, certified dog behavior consultant and professional dog trainer. She advises her clients to keep their dogs out of their beds if they are doing any of the following: freezing, growling, snarling, snapping, digging or chewing the bed linen, or biting when being picked up off the bed. Only when those behaviors have stopped (after training) should you consider letting your dog back in your bed, says Bloom. Remember, there are more benefits to having a pet than having a bed buddy. Lengemann also advises against letting your dog sleep in your bed when hygiene may be an issue. If a dog has zoonotic diseases or parasites (such as scabies, MRSA, ticks, etc.) it definitely shouldn’t be sharing your sleeping space. Nor should a dog sleep on your bed post-surgery, until the incision is completely healed. In some cases, your dog’s health may be in danger if you let it sleep in your bed. If it is severely arthritic or has back, neck or orthopedic pain, jumping on and off the bed could cause harm. If you are allergic to dogs, seek the advice of an allergist to determine best practice and options before letting your dog sleep in your bed.
Blood clots affect approximately 900,000 people annually, but their symptoms are so stealth that even a medical professional didn't recognize them at first. BY JEN BABAKHAN Mary Dillhoff is used to long hours in the operating room as a surgical oncologist, but she never imagined she would miss a potentially life-threatening condition herself during her second pregnancy. The active surgeon at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center regularly ran marathons, and ate a healthy diet, so when she began having shortness of breath, she shrugged it off as third trimester pregnancy symptoms. “I was very active and ran a full marathon at 26 weeks pregnant. I ran a 5K even pushing my two year old in a stroller during the race, the day before my symptoms started, around my 33rd week,” Dr. Dillhoff says. “I downplayed my symptoms, attributing it to pregnancy. However, the shortness of breath was significant enough that I could no longer run, and was short of breath simply carrying on a conversation,” she recalls. It wasn’t until two weeks later that the symptom she knew she could not ignore appeared. “After traveling in a car for several hours, I looked down at my left leg and it was blue and swollen from my hip to ankle,” she explains. “I knew immediately then I had a DVT (deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot that forms within one of the deep veins in the body, usually the legs) and likely had a pulmonary embolism a few weeks prior that caused my shortness of breath. I went to the hospital for care that night and began blood thinners. At this point, I was walking with a severe limp and had debilitating hip pain.” The swelling continued and didn’t improve over the next two weeks. At this point, given the severity of her symptoms and lack of improvement on blood thinners, her vascular surgeon and obstetrician recommended Dr. Dillhoff have a surgical treatment for her DVT, but there was a catch: Having it while pregnant would have been very dangerous for her unborn baby. So at 37 weeks (considered full term), Dr. Dillhoff was induced. “My biggest fear that day was dying. I’m a surgeon myself and have seen many people with DVT and pulmonary embolism, but I was as scared as I’ve ever been the day I went in for induction. I was so worried about the baby and my long term health at that point.” Thankfully, the birth happened without a hitch and her newborn son, Jackson, was perfectly healthy. After being released from the maternity ward of the hospital, Dr. Dillhoff was readmitted to a heart hospital five days after giving birth for treatment of her life-threatening DVT. A catheter was placed into the vein and medication was given to help break up the clot. “This was done for 24 hours and then a stent was placed, because I had a condition that predisposed me to getting a blood clot called May Thurner syndrome, where the right iliac artery compresses the left iliac vein.” Since her newborn son was only days old, Jackson went with her to the new hospital and stayed by her side. “He got all kinds of attention from the nurses since they were used to a much older population and never really have babies over there,” she recalls. After receiving the stent, her condition quickly improved. She recalls, “The swelling in my leg was better immediately. I went home after two nights and was running within a week.” Dr. Dillhoff said that she remains on blood thinners and will continue them until it has been six months past the original diagnosis date. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 900,000 people annually are affected by DVT, and 10 to 30 percent of those affected will die within one month of diagnosis. The risk of developing deep vein thrombosis is four to five times greater during pregnancy, and symptoms of the potentially deadly condition include sudden shortness of breath, swelling in one or both legs, chest pain during breathing or coughing (that may produce blood), dizziness and faintness, and rapid pulse. Sudden death is the first symptom for a quarter of all DVT cases, a chilling statistic that highlights the importance of awareness of the condition. DVT symptoms can often masquerade as other conditions, and awareness of the dangerous condition is key. Dr. Dillhoff explains, “It is very serious and I knew how serious it could have been. The risk of death from a pulmonary embolism is about 10 percent, so I knew this was a big deal.” Though death is a concern, the affects of a blood clot can stay long after the condition has been resolved. Dr. Dillhoff says, “With a clot in the leg, a significant portion of patients get post thrombotic syndrome, which causes swelling and pain. I was concerned I would no longer be able to function normally and work as I had or take care of my kids, let alone run like I was accustomed to.” Today, Dr. Dillhoff is grateful for her complete recovery. She says, “Our life is really back to normal. We are so lucky to have gotten the care we got and had a great outcome.” Although anyone can develop a deadly blood clot, pregnant women in particular need to pay careful attention to any painful swelling of the legs, as their risk is greater and pregnancy can often mask the subtle symptoms of the condition.
