BY Isaak Walton 'Drunk Driving Arrests & Fines are on the rise in Namibia' - What are you doing to protect yourself? You might think, 'but why are MORE people driving drunk? ' That's not technically the case. The fact is that Police are catching more of us Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) because they are checking and charging more of us. "MULTI-BILLIONS - COST OF DRUNK DRIVING A YEAR" - It's ultimately all about money... what isn't these days! More arrests = more revenue for cash-strapped local police forces, the judicial system, and the greedy government. They're hassling you harder than ever before to make YOU pay the system's massive debts. Don't be caught out by a corrupt cop. Police are trained to use the breathalyzer in a way to make you fail your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test even if you are way under the limit… "While taking the breathalyzer, you'll notice the police officer is always saying “blow, blow, blow….” during the test. The officer has been trained to keep you blowing well beyond what is necessary. It's so more tiny alcohol particles stuck in your throat and lungs, go onto the sensor. This technique and other tricks, makes your BAC reading appear much higher than it is. Once the officer gets a reading over the legal limit, you can't argue. You're under arrest. You're spending a night in jail and beginning your expensive nightmare which brands you a 'disgraceful drunk driver' for life."- Anon, DUI Specialist Lawyer So, how do you protect yourself, against a police force that is actively trying to arrest and fine you?

When this sourpuss—who suffers from feline dwarfism, face affixed in a permanent scowl—first appeared on Reddit in September 2012, a meme was born. Barely one year later "Grumpy Cat" made countless TV appearances, appeared on the covers of New York Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, became the subject of a best-selling book, and scored a deal for a "Garfield-like feature film" with Broken Road Productions.

DIE LAPPIESMOUS Piet Naude se vertaling van Walter Wangerin se verhaal Voor dagbreek een Vrydag sien ek ’n jongman, aantreklik en sterk, deur die agterstrate van ons stad loop. Hy trek ’n karretjie waarop ’n spul lappe lê. Hulle lyk pragtig skoon, nuut en helderkleurig. "Lappe! Lappe! Lappe! Nuwe lappe vir oues!" roep die jongman. "Ek neem jou stukkende lappe! Kom ruil dit om vir nuwes." "Merkwaardig", sê ek vir myself. Dit lyk na so ’n gawe, sterk jongman. Sou hy dan nie ’n beter werk kon kry nie? Waarom nou met lappe smous? My nuuskierigheid was so geprikkel dat ek hom gevolg het. En ek was nie teleurgestel nie. By die eerste huis waar die lappiesmous verbygaan, sit ’n vrou op die stoep en huil. Haar sakdoek was sopnat en haar skouers het geruk van die snikke. Dit was duidelik: haar hart was stukkend. Die lappiesmous het sy karretjie gestop en na die vrou gestap. "Mevrou, gee jou lap vir my," het hy saggies gesê, “ek sal vir jou ’n nuwe lap gee.” Toe neem hy haar sakdoek en plaas ’n nuwe lapsakdoek in haar handpalm. Toe begin hy weer sy karretjie trek terwyl hy met sy ander hand ’n snaakse ding doen. Hy sit die vrou se nat sakdoek teen sy oë en begin self huil. Die vrou se trane het intussen opgedroog. "Dis ’n wonder!" het ek uitgeroep en die huilende lappiesmous verder gevolg. "Lappe! Lappe! Nuwe lappe vir oues!" roep hy. Kort daarna kom die lappiesmous op ’n jongmeisie af. ’n Erg bebloede verband was rondom ’n yslike wond aan haar kop gedraai. Haar oë was dof en leeg. Toe haal die lappiesmous ’n vrolike geel laphoed uit sy karretjie. "Kom, gee my jou lap en ek sal jou myne gee!" bied hy aan. Die meisie het hom net aangestaar. Toe gaan hy nader en haal met ’n teer gebaar die bebloede verband van haar kop af en draai dit om sy eie kop. Skielik het sy begin glimlag. Ek het na my asem gesnak, want saam met die verband het die wond gekom. Die bloed het nou oor sy gesig gestroom en haar wond was genees. "Lappe! Lappe! Ek ruil ou lappe vir nuwes!" roep die sterk, huilende, bloeiende lappiesmous. Toe hy ’n man met net een arm raaksien, vra hy: "Het jy werk, meneer?" "Is jy laf?” antwoord die afarm man bitter. "Wie sal my kan gebruik?" "Gee my jou baadjie, dan gee ek jou myne," antwoord die lappiesmous met gesag. Toe die ruiltransaksie voltooi is, kon ek my oë nie glo nie. Die man het nou twee volmaakte arms gehad en die lappiesmous net een! "Gaan werk nou!" was die lappiesmous se vriendelike bevel. Só het die lappiesmous aangestap: huilend, bloeiend, gebreklik, oud en siek. Met sy enigste arm het hy sy karretjie getrek. My hart wou breek toe ek die droewige verandering in die mooi, sterk man se voorkoms sien. Toe hy by die vullishope op die heuwel buite die stad kom, het hy daar inmekaargesak en gesterf. Ek het my seker aan die slaap gehuil - en later agtergekom dat ek dwarsdeur die res van daardie Vrydag en die Saterdag daar gelê en slaap het. Die Sondagmôre vroeg is ek wakker geskok deur ’n verblindende lig wat rondom my skyn. Toe my oë daaraan gewoond raak, was ek die getuie van die wonder van alle wonders. Voor my het die lappiesmous gestaan. Hy was weer jonk en mooi en lewend! En al die lappe wat hy langs die pad by stukkende mense gekry het, was silwerskoon. Ek stap toe na hom toe en vra: "Trek my ook nuut aan." Toe verruil my Here my vodde vir pragtige nuwe klere, en sê: "Gaan vertel vir jou vriende: As julle mekaar liefhet, sal almal weet julle is My lappiesmouse vir die wêreld." Amen.
The bright hues are no accident. BY BROOKE NELSON
You need: coconut oil, sugar and powdered Kool-Aid. Why the sugar? Have you ever tasted unsweetened KoolAid? It has a pucker factor of 11 on a 110 scale. Use just a little sugar to sweeten the gloss so it was still had a Sweet Tart type of flavor, but wouldn't be shocking. Grab: 2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil 1/2 package of Kool-Aid enough water to form a paste 1 tsp. sugar or to taste In a cup, first softening the coconut oil. Heat the oil in the microwave for 5 seconds and then stir vigorously. You don't want to overheat it, it should not be in liquid form, but you could put it back in for another few seconds if it is too firm.
Beige is apparently too blasé for the Crown. Queen Elizabeth turned heads (and made headlines) when she wore a bright—no, neon—green outfit to her 90th birthday parade. But that wasn’t the first time she arrived on the scene wearing a vividly hued number. In fact, throughout her 65-year reign the Queen has sported dozens of bold shades, from fuchsia to lemon to royal blue. So, what’s the true story behind the Queen’s bright wardrobe? It’s actually one of the few fascinating facts about her, royal sources say. (And no, it’s not a fashion statement!). The real reason for her brightcolored, blocky numbers is actually way more sensible—and touching. According to her daughter-in-law Sophie, Countess of Wessex, the Queen wants to make sure members of the public can catch sight of her through the crowds. “She needs to stand out for people to be able to say ‘I saw the Queen’,” Sophie said in the documentary The Queen at 90. “Don’t forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the queen’s hat as she went past.” Other sources have confirmed the reason behind Queen Elizabeth’s famous fashion choice, as well. “The Queen has always been aware that she needs to stand out from the crowd, and it is for this reason that millinery has always played an important role in her wardrobe,” Caroline de Guitaut, the curator at the Royal Collection Trust, told the New York Times. Turns out, the Queen’s famous remark “I have to be seen to be believed” might have been more literal than we initially thought. While her preference for vivid hues isn’t just a fashion statement, neither is her purse.
In another cup, pour in about half of the Kool-Aid. Add just enough water to form a paste and see the color. Whisk in your sugar and add it into your softened coconut oil a little at a time till you achieve the desired color. Use a small whisk and some elbow grease to mix it all together. The oil and paste don't mix well unless you work at it... just a little bit. Keep whisking till most of my sugar had dissolved. It kept dissolving as it sat. Spoon the gloss (it will still be a little soft) into small make-up bottles like in the picture. You can find them at a craft store. Now you need to design labels for them… Let them cool completely or refrigerate briefly to solidify the oil again.
There are two types of people in the world: Those who shower at night and in the morning. According to science, those who shower at night are doing it right. BY JULIANA LABIANCA
Since society has all but declared early birds better than night owls, only one morning-night debate remains—morning showerers versus their nightly counterparts. One study found that as far as sleep goes, night showerers might have a leg up. For the study, researchers recruited nine women and divided them into three sleep categories. The first group took a warm bath before bed, the second took a hot foot bath before bed, and the third did neither. The women who took a bath or a foot bath fell asleep faster, and self-reported better quality sleep. Turns out, bathing helps us cool down and relax. “You don’t want to heat yourself up right before bed,” Dr. Dianna Augelli of the Center for Sleep Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, told TIME Health.“Cooling down is a signal that tells us we’re supposed to go to sleep.” Still don’t think a nighttime shower is something you can get on board with? Try the foot bath instead. Simply fill the tub or a small bin with hot water and sit back with a book. You’ll be ready for a good night’s sleep in no time.
Everything you've always wanted to know about airplane toilets but were too polite to ask. BY ELIZABETH MANNEH
Byron Schlenker and his daughter share a special trait- they’re both record holders for the Widest tongue, in the male and female categories. Byron’s tongue measures 8.57cm at its widest point, which broke his previous record of 8.3cm. His daughter Emily has the widest tongue (female), which measures 7.33cm! You know what they say, like father like daughter! THE OLDEST LIVING FATHER In August 2007, Nanu Ram Jogi (India) celebrated the birth of what he believes is his 21st child a daughter, named Girija at the grand old age of 90, making him the oldest known dad in the world. He fathered his first child in 1943, and hopes to continue having babies until he reaches 100 years old.
If you’ve ever imagined pee or poop dropping out of an airplane like a surprise crop-dusting, that actually used to happen. Early airplane toilets were primitive and direct: a bucket or bottle. The contents were simply hurled out of the window onto the unsuspecting world below. However, once commercial flying become popular and pressurized cabins were introduced, they had to develop a new system. That’s when airlines introduced a toilet using Anotec (a blue deodorizing gel) to flush away waste and combat odor. But this meant carrying gallons of Anotec, which was very heavy, causing planes to waste precious fuel and limiting passenger space. Storage tanks were also directly underneath the toilets, so the smell sometimes drifted up into the cabin—not something you want when you’re tucking in to your in -flight meal! Toilet waste also had an unpleasant habit of leaking onto the outside of the aircraft, where it froze. As the plane descended, lumps of icy gel and feces sometimes plummeted to earth at great speed, reportedly damaging cars and houses below. In 1975, James Kemper designed the modern airplane toilet, using a non-stick bowl, a small amount of Skychem (disinfecting liquid), and powerful vacuum suction. When you flush the toilet, a trapdoor in the base opens, liquid is released, and everything is sucked out faster than a Formula 1 racing car. Waste whizzes through pipes to the rear of the plane, where it’s stored in sealed tanks well away from passengers, until the plane touches down. Travelers on a long-haul 747 flight will flush the toilets around 1,000 times and create around 230 gallons of sewage—that’s a lot of waste! When the aircraft lands, a ‘honey truck‘ siphons out the waste and disposes of it into the ground sewage system. In case you’re wondering whether pilots can accidentally empty the tanks in flight, delivering a nasty shock to anyone underneath, the door has external clips to prevent such unexpected accidents. And if you’ve heard the urban myth about toilet vacuums sucking out your insides, don’t worry. It’s like other common airplane myths—there are no recorded incidents. Flying puts strain on your body, so don’t make it worse by holding in poop, which can cause serious digestive problems. Now that you know how airplane toilets work, there’s no need to sit tight on a flight ever again.

While the ingredients have been around for centuries, the idea of the sandwich is not as old as you'd think. BY ASHLEY LEWIS As a kid, nothing warmed your heart more than a peanut butter and jam sandwich made with love by mom or dad. Maybe you liked yours without the crust, sliced into quarters, with crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth, or strawberry jam over grape. Regardless of your preference, parents are so good at crafting the perfect PB&J that you’d think one of them was responsible for inventing the sweet and salty staple. The truth is, no one knows who deserves the PB&J “patent.” Some speculate a writer named Julia Davis Chandler may have had a hand in the sandwich creation. In the November 1901 issue of the Boston Cooking School magazine, she wrote in an article, “For variety, some day try making little sandwiches, or bread fingers, of three very thin layers of bread and two of filling, one of peanut paste, whatever brand you prefer, and currant or crab-apple jelly for the other. The combination is delicious, and so far as I know, original.” But it took fine-tuning the ingredients before people jumped on the PB&J bandwagon. Peanut butter, or “peanut paste,” as it was called back then, was originally thick and hard to swallow because manufacturers ground the nuts by hand. The buttery consistency wasn’t achieved until 1903, when the peanut grinder mill came along. In 1922, entrepreneur Joseph Rosefield discovered hydrogenation, a chemical process that kept peanut butter from separating and sticking to the tops of consumers’ mouths. He called it Skippy. Soon there was a bonafide peanut butter industry and peanut butter jars started popping up on grocery store shelves for an affordable price. Amidst the Great Depression, many families started whipping up peanut butter sandwiches for a cheap meal that left stomachs satisfied. Jam has been around for centuries, but it wasn’t until 1917 when jam truly made its claim to fame, thanks to Paul Welch who introduced Grapelade, a jelly made from pureed Concord grapes. Still, the peanut butter and jam sandwich we know and love today didn’t truly come to fruition until World War II. The U.S. military ration menus featured jars of peanut butter and jam and soldiers would spread both on pre-sliced bread for an energy boost. Once they arrived home, the trend continued and PB&J’s found a place on family lunch tables where they’ve been there ever since!
DIE sogenaamde Computed Axial Tomography Scan, of CATskandeeerder, wat driedimensionele X-plate neem, is by die Tuftsuniversiteit in Brittanje deur die Suid-Afrika fisikus Allan Cormack en Godfrey Hounsfield van EMI Laboratories ontwikkel. Met hul prestasie het hulle in 1979 die Nobelprys vir Fisiologie en Geneeskunde ontvang. Cormack (1924-1998) se belangstelling in die probleem om sagte weefsels of weefsel-lae van verskillende digthede bevredigend met X-strale te ondersoek, is aanvanklik gewek toe hy ’n deeltydse pos as fisikus van ’n hospitaal se radiologiese afdeling aanvaar het. Die tweedimensionele voorstellings op konvensionele X-straalplate kon dikwels nie tussen sulke weefsels onderskei nie. Meer inligting kon verkry word indien die X-strale van die liggaam uit ’n aantal verskillende hoeke geneem kon word, maar met die gebruiklike X-straaltegnieke was dit ’n probleem. Vroeg in die jare sestig het Cormack aangetoon hoe besonderhede van ’n plat deel van sagte weefsels bereken kan word uit die meting van toelopende X-strale wat uit baie verskillende hoeke daardeur beweeg. Daarmee het hy die wiskundige tegniek vir CAT-skandering daargestel, wat behels dat ’n X-straalbron en elektroniese verklikkers oor die liggaam heen beweeg word. Die inligting wat daardeur verkry word, word dan deur ’n rekenaar ontleed waardeur ’n duidelike kaart van die weefsels binne ’n dwarssnee van die liggaam geskep word. Cormack is in 1998 oorlede toe hy 74 jaar oud was. BROMPONIE (1915) DIT was ’n eienaardige vervoermiddel wat op ’n dag in 1915 die New Yorkers se oë laat rek het. Daar was geen sitplek nie en dit het soos ’n kind se ryplank (''scooter'') gelyk, maar met ’n masjien van twee perdekrag kon dit selfs 55 km/h haal. Hierdie ryding was die eerste van vele pogings vroeg in die twintigste eeu om klein, goedkoop jakkertjies op die mark te plaas. Maar dit was eers in 1946 dat die Italiaanse maatskappy Piaggio die eerste kommersieel geslaagde bromponie vervaardig het. Enrico Piaggio, wie se vliegtuigenjin-fabriek by Pontedera in die Tweede Wêreldoorlog verwoes is, het dit moeilik gevind om te voet op die terrein rond te beweeg. Toe vra hy een van sy ingenieurs, Corradino d'Ascanio, om ’n eenvoudige tweewiel-ryding te ontwerp. Die ontwerp was binne weke gereed— en die sogenaamde Vespa (op die foto hierby) was ’n onmiddellike sukses.

The sooner you share this post, the sooner you can save someone's life. BY MORGAN CUTOLO The tide at the beach is constantly changing throughout the day and getting caught up in the current can be fatal. As the tide changes from high to low the water is taken out to sea through the incoming waves in a river, this process is called a rip current. And the force of that movement can very easily take a human out to sea with it. These temporary rip currents are found along the shoreline of the beach and are very unpredictable of when and where they will form. Beach goers who are swimming along the shore or even just wading in the water are at risk of being swept away in the current. The most important thing to remember is to not panic. Don’t try to fight the current, instead move with it. The National Sea Rescue Institute displays how you should escape the current in this simple chart. Stay afloat by treading water and allowing the current to take you out to sea. When you feel an opportunity to swim parallel to the shoreline, do so in order to escape the current. Then swim safely back to shore. If you have the extra energy, scream for help and wave your arms as you are being pulled out so that lifeguards or fellow beach goers will know that you need help. To avoid getting pulled into a rip current in the first place try to swim at beaches where lifeguards are on duty and pay attention to their markers on the beach indicating what areas are safe to swim in. Make sure you also know these other secrets lifeguards wish you knew before going to the beach.
