LIFE-SIZE WHALE MADE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC TO 'EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT OCEAN POLLUTION' By Kristen Stephenson
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/3AtvHB3WLEI Ocean pollution and the amount of plastic in the sea is an ever-growing talking point, and Monterey Bay Aquarium in San Francisco, California (USA) has found an inspiring and creative way to further highlight the issue. On Crissy Field, located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and within sight of the iconic bridge, visitors can find a massive whale made up of recycled materials - a structure that is now officially the world's largest recycled plastic sculpture. The magnificent blue whale measuring 25.89 m long, 8.07 m wide and 4.2 m high was set up on the green area for three months, with the record being verified in November 2018. But when looking closely, they'll see it is entirely made up of plastic bottles, re-used toys, and even milk jugs – symbolising the dangers of plastic pollution to marine life. All of these were collected from the Monterey Bay area. "Every nine minutes 300,000 lb of plastic – the weight of a blue whale – makes its way into the ocean," said an aquarium spokesperson. "To draw attention to this enormous problem, we built this life-sized installation to get the word out and educate people. It allows people to interact with the sculpture and experience the issue to scale." It was important to local artists Joel Dean Stockdill and Yustina Salnikova to make the sculpture as life-like as possible, so they made sure that the whale is scientifically accurate to the species. They even went as far as sorting the trash themselves before starting the structure. After creating a buzz in the media, the Monterey Bay Aquarium hopes to get people thinking about using more sustainable resources long term and encourage them to avoid using plastic materials that could harm ocean life. The recycled whale follows in the wake of other record attempts which have highlighted ocean pollution. In January 2019, Von Wong (Canada) and Zero Waste Saigon (Vietnam) created the largest drinking straw sculpture in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Using more than 160,000 straws, the sculpture depicted a parting sea made out of plastic which people can walk through to raise awareness of pollution caused by the singleuse material. The straws were collected over six months before being ashed, sorted and colour coded with up to 50 volunteers helping to create the sculpture which measures 3.3 m tall, 8 m long and 4.5 m wide. Explaining his creation, Von Wong said: "Straws are used for just minutes but take centuries to disappear. Hundreds of millions of straws are used every single day around the world. We wanted to intercept just a fraction of them to show how these tiny little things add up into a very big problem." Over in Cyprus, a 17-year-old created the largest drawing by an individual with a scene showing a turtle surrounded by plastic. Alex Dzaghigian's 323.90 m² drawing said the turtle in his image was eating a plastic bag because they often confuse them for jellyfish. "It takes hundreds years for plastic to biodegrade depending on the type of plastic; very often marine life becomes entrapped in nets and plastic bags," he explained. "Quite often, marine life ingest these plastics and end up as food for human consumption."

"Ek huil omdat oorle Ma jou nie dood gelê het by geboorte nie." Dit klink verskriklik... Een van Tolla van der Merwe se grappies. Die insident met die Tabasco oor die vis… loop die Namakwalanners weer lekker deur. Ek en Peter kon bloedige gevegte opsit. Hy is egter gladder met die "bek" soos die oumense gesê het, so ek vermoed ek het gereeld tweede gekom. My Ma het altyd die motor baie na links in die motorhuis ingetrek... die inklim en uitklim met die kunsbeen het gelol, so daar moes baie spasie wees vir haar om die deur heeltemal oop te maak. As ons dan van die skool af kom in die middag, is my Ma alreeds werk toe, so dit was nie 'n probleem nie, maar soggens om die fietse uit te kry het "manuvering" gekos. Die een fiets voor regs was maklik, maar die een aan die linkerkant het probleme veroorsaak. Jy moes daai fiets daar uitkry, en bewaar jou siel as jy die kar dalk krap… Ek het eenkeer "spoeg" probeer, maar met 'n warm agterstewe uitgevind, dit vat nie 'n skraap op 'n kar se verf weg nie. Peter kry gewigte present by een van sy pelle, en my broer, eie aan sy aard toe, het ge-oefen en nie die gewigte gebêre nie. Ek kom van die hokkie af, sukkel my alie af om die fiets te parkeer, gil op Peter en gryp die gewig met die regter arm, gooi dit eenkant toe, net toe Peter die Garage binnekom… Hy het die gewigte gebêre en die res van die dag en die volgende dag my bedees en heel inskiklik gehoorsaam. Ek was verbaas, maar dit het by my verby gegaan. Twee dae na die insident roep hy my garage toe. "Ousus, tel vir my weer daai gewig met die een hand op asseblief?" Ek sug, ek kreun ek beur, maar.ek kry daai gewig nie eers met twee arms gelig nie. Is daai Peter vining sy ou kapokhaantjie self. Hy besef toe, ek is nie so sterk as wat dit daai dag gelyk het nie, daar en dan sien hy weer dadelik, kans vir my… Vervlaks..!!! So kom vang die duiwel ons baie keer uit, op die punte wat ons dink ons is sterk genoeg om te weerstaan. Fout…!!! Moet nooit op jou eie krag staat maak nie, jy is tot alles in staat… Dit is waar, maar slegs met die krag van Jesus ons Verlosser… Mooi loop die week, groete van huis tot huis...x Rika 3

Meghan Jones You know to avoid raw meat and eggs. But there are plenty of other foods that you definitely want to cook before eating, and some of them might surprise you. Pits or seeds of apples, mangos, peaches, pears, or apricots: Although it would take at least a cup of these ground seeds to poison someone, seeds from apples, mangos, peaches, pears, and apricots contain a chemical that can turn into organic cyanide. 5
Britney Spears has assured fans that she will be back on stage soon. The Toxic hitmaker cancelled a string of planned dates for her upcoming Britney: Domination residency in Las Vegas earlier this year (19), after her father Jamie underwent life-threatening surgery, and she subsequently checked into rehab amid reports of "emotional distress". Earlier last week (13 May 19), Britney's longtime manager Larry Rudolph told TMZ.com that she was not in the right mental or physical state to perform, but when approached by the publication while shopping in Thousand Oaks, California, on Friday, Britney assured fans she will be back. When asked by a TMZ reporter whether or not she'll be performing soon, the 37-year-old, who was accompanied by her 25-year-old beau Sam Asghari, replied, "Of course." The Gimme More popstar, who seemed in good spirits, was then asked if she had a message for her fans, to which she responded, "I love you guys." The couple's outing came shortly after Britney praised her boyfriend on Instagram. She shared three selfies with her love in which they were wearing matching white T-shirts, and wrote in the caption, "I love this man." Since her rehab stint, Britney has alleged that she was held in the facility and forced to take drugs against her will by her father, her conservator, and a hearing reviewing the conservatorship was held earlier this month as the singer attempted to have the terms adjusted. A judge presiding over the arrangement has now appointed a probate court investigator to look into the singer's case and produce a full report before a further hearing takes place in September, according to The Blast. 6

CALIFORNIA: Hul straatname het seker opgeraak!
Isabel Roy Wedding planners are committed to getting the job done no matter what the circumstances. But some requests pushed them a little too far. An anonymous wedding planner recalls a bride who had been given special earrings the morning of her wedding by her mother that had been worn by generations of brides before her. Evidently, the mother had forgotten that her daughter had never gotten her ears pierced and had given her rather superstitious daughter a speech about how every bride who had worn them had been blessed with a long and happy marriage. “The bride came to me in a panic 20 minutes before the ceremony and held out a needle. I tried to find a professional nearby but on a Sunday in a small town, there was no one to be found. As it turned out, my assistant had worked in a salon during college and had pierced ears before, and did the job five minutes before the bride walked down the aisle with an ice cube and sterilized needle a la Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap. Luckily, no blood got on the white dress and the bride seemed very happy about the whole thing.� 8

WARM GLOEDE, KOUE GLOEDE Warm gloede, is die liggaam se reaksie op ‘n afname in die hormoon estrogeen, wat natuurlik voorkom as vroue se menopouse begin loer. Nie alle Evas ervaar warm gloede nie, maar meer as die helfde doen wel. By sommige dames, daal die estrogeen vlakke geleidelik, die liggaam produseer minder estrogeen. Daar is ook vroue wie se eierstokke, estrogeen produksie summier en sonder waarskuwing staak. Vir hierdie vroue, kan warm gloede ‘n ware wipplank-rit te wees. En dan is daar die nag se weergawe van warmgloede bekend as nagsweet. NAGSWEET Nagsweet is die aand neef van warm gloede, maar tipies meer intens. Nagsweet is nie ‘n slaap disfunksie nie maar wel ‘n sweet disfunksie wat plaasvind tydens jou nagrus as gevolg van menopouse. EK HUIL VIR NIKS! Was jy al op ‘n rollercoaster? Net ‘n iemand wat al daarop gery het weet hoe vinnig dit op en af kan gaan. Op en af buie, is eie aan menopouse. En die rollercoaster hou nie op met ry nie! Die buierigheid as gevolg van wip plank emosies is intens, skielik en buite beheer. Chroniese en erge buierigheid is ‘n sielkundige versteuring, ‘n gesondheids probleem so eg soos ‘n fisiese kwaal. Trouens, soms is dit die gevolg van ‘n fisiese probleem, soos premenstruele sindroom, en daarvoor is OOK ‘n oplossing. EK IS MOEG! Moegheid is een van die mees algemene simptome van menopouse. Dit is ‘n moegheid wat ‘n gevoel van swakheid en konstante verlaagde energie vlakke meebring. Dit moet onderskei word van lomerigheid,’n lomerigheid wat vir ‘n lekker slaap vra. DIE moegheid behels ‘n gebrek aan energie, eerder as slaperigheid. En die gevoel van ek kan net nie meer nie, kan enige tyd kom aanklop! MY HARE BLY AGTER OP MY BORSEL! AG NEE, EK HET ‘N SNOR! Haarverlies en hare wat minder word, gesigshare wat te veel word kan direk gekoppel word aan ‘n tekort aan estrogeen. Haarfolikels word gevoed deur estrogeen. Soms is dit die eerste teken van menopouse wat kom kuier. DIE haarverlies kan ewe skielik gebeur of gelydelik toeneem, oral oor jou liggaam. Jou hare kan ook droog en bros voorkom. Haarverlies en uitdun daarvan sluit in hare van die skaamdele. EK SLAAP SLEG In die verlede het dokters geglo dat onderbroke slaap die gevolg is van nagsweet. Onlangse studies het egter bewys dat sulke probleme nie noodwendig met nagsweet of warm gloede te doen het nie maar wel nou verwant kan wees met menopouse. Navorsing het bewys dat slaap probleme so vroeg as vyf tot sewe jaar voor die aanvang van menopous kan voorkom. Wees eerlik met jouself, jou hormoon vlakke gaan jou lewe beïnvloed! (MAAR daar IS HOOP!) EK IS ALWEER ‘N KILOGRAM SWAARDER! (Gewigstoename tydens menopouse.) Gewigstoename, spesifiek ‘n verdikking rondom jou middel, is nog ‘n teken van die hormone wat aan die hardloop gaan. Terwyl ‘n aantal boeke en sommige dokters beweer dat menopouse niks te doen het met gewigstoename nie, vind gewigstoename wel plaas want met die ouderdom word die metabolisme ook stadiger. Daar is studies wat daarop dui dat die wisselende hormoon vlakke direk gekoppel is aan gewigstoename en die herverdeling van vet. Pas jou dieët aan, oefen meer, gaan stap ‘n entjie saam met jou geliefdes, was jou eie kar, al DIE klein beweginkies kan jou metabolisme vinniger maak. Natuurlike alternatiewe aanvullings kan ook help. EK IS TOG SO FYNGEVOELIG! Benewens talle fisiese effekte is emosionele simptome ‘n algemene kenmerk van die menopousale oorgang. Trouens, tot 50 persent van alle pre-menopausale vroue ervaar versteurings in hul bui, insluitend irritasie. Terwyl verskeie faktore kan bydra tot prikkelbaarheid in ons daaglikse lewens, is hormonale skommelinge as gevolg van menopouse dikwels die hoofoorsaak van geïrriteerdheid en ander negatiewe emosionele toestande gedurende hierdie oorgang in ‘n vrou se lewe.
