by Bernd Grahl Little does the uninformed visitor realize, which fascinating history lies hidden behind the white washed walls of the old mission house in Warmbad. Its old base walls and foundations make this house the oldest existing building in Namibia. Yet, sadly it has never been declared a national monument. The origin of the old mission house dates back to the year 1808, when the brothers Abraham and Christian Albrecht of the London Missionary Society and a colleague Bastiaan Tromp built three tiny dwellings at this very site. Their mission effort was short-lived though as Abraham Albrecht died in 1810 and his brother Christian had to flee from Warmbad in 1811. Shortly afterwards Jager Afrikaner – the father of Jonker Afrikaner – destroyed the entire station. However, in 1812 the reverend Schmelen found the burnt walls of the houses still intact. The reverend J.L. Ebner, who came to Warmbad in 1818 and built a rush hut inside the burnt remains of Abraham Albrecht’s house to serve as temporary shelter, confirmed this. In 1834, the reverend Edward Cook of the Wesleyan Mission Society arrived at Warmbad. He immediately set out to build a house on the existing ground walls of the old mission house of Abraham Albrecht. The teacher and mason Peter Links assisted him. The wood for the house was fetched from the Orange River, while the rushes were obtained a day’s journey from Warmbad. By September 1834, a two-storied house, built according to the so-called ‘kapsteilhuis’, had been finished. Typical for this type of home were the massive chimneystacks of the open hearths situated at both ends of the house. The house had two rooms on ground level, while another one – the loft – was situated above a reed ceiling and a thick layer of mud. It was accessible via an external staircase through a doorway in one gable. The directly adjoining remains of the house of Christian Albrecht were soon re-built into a church. The roofs of both buildings were thatched. As Warmbad was situated on the main wagon road connecting the Cape with Great Namaqualand and areas further north, the mission station became an ideal stop-over for many missionaries, travelers, hunters and scientists. Among the first were Sir James E. Alexander in 1836 and the reverend J. Tindall in 1840. He not only assisted Cook by extending and impro-ving the mission house and the church but also became one of his successors in 1851. During the Nama war, German soldiers occupied the mission house. When the Dutch reverend Herman Nyhof arrived at Warmbad in 1907, the buildings were in a desolate condition and it took him a long time to repair all the damage. During the First World War, the mission house served as barracks for the Union troops. After reverend Nyhof’s death in 1936 the buildings were, once again, in a sad state of neglect and some of them were so disintegrated that they posed a danger. Part of the mission house – probably the loft – collapsed later and it was resolved to close it. With the exception of a few years during the 1960s, the mission house stood empty and was only occasionally occupied by visiting missionaries and evangelists. During the course of a clean-up and restoration action in Warmbad in 2005, the old mission house was also upgraded. It is hoped that it will soon find a caring occupant, who will restore it to its former glory and that the National Heritage Council will finally proclaim the building a national heritage site. 2

Soos Lot se vrou, staan ek en staar na die stoompot, ek roer nie. Ouma Binz het gesê, "as die pot ontplof, is daar groot moeilikheid vandag", en as Ouma gesê het daar is moeilikheid, dan is daar moeilikheid. Ek gaan of dood wees van die ontploffing (Dit is soos my kinderbrein, my oortuig het), of Ouma gaan my doodslaan… Dus, staan ek versteend en staar, en as daai pot 'n geluid maak, skree ek uit die kombuis, met so 'n skril stemmetjie. So moes die Owambo man wat vir Oupa en Ouma kom werk het op die plaas, die kombuisvloer was. Hy raak besig en luister nie na die stoompot se "roep" nie, en toe gebeur die gebeure… Die stoompot blaas die rys, vleis en aartappels uit, teen die dak, oor die vloer, 'n gemors. Ouma hoor toe so 'n benoude stemmetjie uit die kombuis. Toe sy om die hoek kom, het van daai warm ryskorrels tussen die man se swart krulhare beland. Hy roer nie, hy staan verslae, asvaal, net sy twee oë blink...nodeloos, om te sê… Die groot skoonmaak het gevolg… So versteen en verlam die ou vyand ons, hy vang ons uit met verdraaide gedagtes, met valse voorwendsels.. en dan die gevaarlikste rooilig.."vat die kans man, niemand sal jou sien nie".. Foutjie..!!!! Waak, staan vas en wees behoedsaam...die tyd raak min.. Ons Koning is oppad..

Evi Aki Turns out, the chip companies aren't ripping you off with a half-full bag.
If you’re a junk food lover, you’ll know this: No matter where you shop or what brand you buy, when you tear open a bag of potato chips, it’s almost always half filled. This can be quite disappointing. I’d always hope for those crispy, crinkle-cut potato chip bags to be filled to the brim. But there’s actually a good reason for this—and no, the food company isn’t pulling a fast one on you. The reason you’re looking at a bag half-full In the manufacturing industry, “slack fill” is empty space that’s intentionally placed around a product. The idea is that the extra room can as a buffer to protect your Lays, Ruffles or Tostitos from damage. The trip from the production facility to your office’s vending machine can be quite bumpy! If it weren’t for slack fill, your chips would probably look more like breadcrumbs. Accidentally crushed your chips? That’s OK! Use them in a yummy potato chip side dish. But wait, there’s more Thought that your potato chip bag was puffed up with air? The cushion actually is nitrogen gas. Chip manufacturers fill bags with this preservative gas to help keep chips fresh. If it were filled with regular air, the chips would likely turn soggy and spoil. In 1994, scientists found that exposing chips to nitrogen not only helped to extend the shelf life, but also made them taste better! I’ll take a tasty, fresh snack over spoiled any day. Psst! Nitrogen is a natural gas and completely harmless. Still feel deceived by the empty bag? There’s a way to tell how much is in your snack bag before you break it open. In 1966, Congress passed the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, which requires manufacturers to disclose the net weight of their product’s contents to prevent fraud or deceit. When shopping for your next bag of cheese puffs, pay attention to the net weight that’s printed on the bag. This way you’ll be able to discern if you’re getting the most bang for your buck. Better yet, learn how to make your own chips. 7
https://youtu.be/xJfa541qDKg CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE VIDEO By Peter Headridge, VP Research, Nutrition, Quality & Technology at Kellogg's Europe The Brief Every year cereal manufacturer Kellogg’s holds a conference which brings together the company’s research, quality and nutrition teams from around the world to review the previous year and to set the coming year’s targets. For 2016 the meeting’s organisers wanted to create a team-building event in which all 150 attendees could participate and would leave feeling as though they had achieved something together as one unit. Kellogg’s were keen on the idea of setting a Guinness World Records title, but were unsure what that record should be, so they turned to the Guinness World Records Commercial Team for help. The Solution The Guinness World Records consultancy team took Kellogg’s brief and researched both existing titles as well as potential new records that might work for the event, with a particular focus on a title that could incorporate Kellogg’s products as well as generate the desired sense of achievement amongst attendees. After brainstorming an array of ideas, a brand new record category came out on top: Most cereal boxes toppled in a domino fashion. The Kellogg’s team pooled their talents and efforts and succeeded in setting a new Guinness World Records title with 2,686 cereal boxes being toppled in a domino fashion. This Guinness World Records title exemplifies the spirit of teamwork, pushing our goals as high as we can get them. This is a lesson to us all, aim for the skies and you will get there. 8
By Katie Macdonald Sometimes elected officials might act like animals, but many thought these actual four-legged creatures would make great leaders. In 1959, a Brazilian rhinoceros named Cacareco (meaning garbage) beat out more than 500 city council candidates with 100,000 votes. São Paulo students submitted Cacareco’s name on the ballot as a joke, but the five-year-old rhinoceros became a symbol of residents’ political frustrations. A decade later, Cacareco inspired another political movement: the Rhinoceros Party of Canada. The satire political party argues rhinos make the perfect politicians because they are “thick-skinned, slow-moving and not too bright, but can move fast as hell when in danger.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are "frustrated" with the former Suits star's father, Thomas Markle. Amid his latest interview with The Sun, a royal source tells ET the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "haven't had any contact" with him lately. "They are frustrated, he keeps speaking to the tabloids and taking payment for interviews," the source adds. Thomas recently sat down with the outlet for his second-ever on-camera interview, in which he said he thinks his 36-year-old daughter is "terrified" of her new life as a royal. "I see it in her eyes, I see it in her face and I see it in her smile," he explained. "I've seen her smile for years. I know her smile. I don't like the one I'm seeing now. This one isn't even a stage smile -- this is a pained smile." "It really worries me," he continued. "I think she's under too much pressure. There's a high price to pay to be married to that family." Later in the interview, Thomas also claimed he has been unable to reach Meghan by phone. "Since the first interview with Good Morning Britain, the phone number that I call doesn't work anymore," he said. "The, I guess, liaison with the royal family never answers back, and there's no address I can write to, so I have no way of contacting my daughter." "My message to her would be, 'I love you, I miss you, I'm sorry for anything that went wrong,'" he added. "And I want to be her child's grandfather and I want to be near them. I want to be a part of their life. I'd like to put our differences behind us, and get together. I miss you very much."

Trauma Terapie Unitas www.connectivetherapy.co.za Granaat…… Die klein gladde bolletjie lê swaar in jou hand en laat jou met stille respek en vrees, jou asem versigtig ophou. Die potensiaal om ‘n nuwe land oop te skiet, in te neem met duisende korrels plofstof wat versprei en alles doop in vuur, stil in die ronding van jou hand….oorwinning net die uittrek van die pennetjie, ver. Hulle leer jou nogal val, as jy jou dalk in een sou vas loop…. Die enigste ding is net dat dit nie regtig saak maak hoe korrek jy val nie, minstens jou voete sal weg geskiet wees, as jy gelukkig is, maar eerder waarskynlik jou volle bene en dis nou as jy leef. Granaat, granaat, in my hand….dalk die begin van ‘n wondelike toekoms, maar dalk ook die moontlike einde van alles. Met ‘n hand-granaat kan jy jouself laat dink jy is in beheer van jou toekoms. Terug vat wat joune behoort te wees. Oorwin…Maar is daar werklik veilige beheer? As dinge skeef sou loop, is dit lelik. Interessant genoeg, was die granaat-vrug, een van die vrugte wat die verkenners eerste uit die beloofde land gebring het. Reusagtige granate, vye en trosse met druiwe, so groot soos die mans wat hulle moes dra.. Die granaat met al sy duisende pitjies is ‘n snaakse verskynsel…. Elke klein pitjie so blink en glad en rooi soos glas, perfek soos edelstene. Elke pit perfek gebalanseer in soet, suur en bitter. Die perfekte balans wat jou brein volkome versadiging laat registreer. ‘n tevredenheid en ‘n vrede wat verstand te bowe gaan. ‘n Granaat is ook die vrug waarmee God die misterieuse, heilige en maagdelike skoonheid van Sy bruid beskryf. Dit is die vrug wat oorvloed belowe, wat liefde belowe. Dit is die vrug wat Hy gee as voorsmaak en inleiding met die uitvoering van sy beloftes. Dit wat die verkenners bring as simbool van die oorvloed waarin Hy besig is om ons in te lei. En ja, selfs al sou pragtige pienk liefdes druiwe uit jou hand geklap word en al val die tros stukkend op die vloer…. Al rol die korrels oor die vloer heen en al tel jy verslae en in vernedering die korrels op…..Selfs dan sien God. Veral dan….maak Hy elke korrel bymekaar op jou bord en dek die tafel tot jou eer in die aangesig van jou vyand. Selfs dan kan jy rus in die wete: Ons enigste hoop is dat ons nie aan ons self nie, maar aan Jesus Christus behoort. Ons is Sy bruid en Hy het ons met sy kosbare bloed vry gekoop. Hy is ons anker en Hy is ons vaste hoop. Hy voer ons die voorgereg van die land vol oorvloed, wat Hy belowe het. Met ‘n vol rooi granaat, oopgebreek in my hande en die edelsteen korrels wat glinster soos juwele so kosbaar, onthou ek weer wat God my belowe het. Ek en Jy - Sy bruid - is kosbaarder as die mooiste en grootste edelstene. Meer waardevol as die wereld se grootste rykdom. God sal sorg. Hy voorsien. Hy het al lankal beplan….Dan wil ek sing soos Koning Salomo se bruid op die grens van die beloofde land: “Ek is my beminde s’n en sy begeerte is na my. Kom my beminde, laat ons uitgaan in die veld, laat ons in die dorpe vernag. Laat ons vroeg na die wingerde gaan, laat ons sien of die wingerdstok uitloop, die druiwe bloeisel oopgaan, die granate blom. Daar sal ek u my liefde gee. Die liefdesappels gee geur en by ons deure, is allerhande kostelike vrugte, vars en oud; o my beminde, dit (ook my hare) het ek vir u (en u alleen) weg gebêre. Hooglied 7:10 -13 “het sy ‘n albaste fles met salf gebring en agter by sy voete gaan staan en geween; en sy het sy voete begin nat maak met haar trane en dit afgedroog met die hare van haar hoof; en sy het sy voete gesoen en met salf gesalf.” Luk.7:38
