THE BEATLES SET ANOTHER RECORD AS ABBEY ROAD RETURNS TO THE TOP OF THE UK CHARTS By Sammy Lloyd It has been 50 years since The Beatles first released their legendary Abbey Road album but it has once again made UK chart history! As fans around the world celebrate the Abbey Road Anniversary Edition album, the Fab Four have reclaimed the top spot and broken their own Guinness World Records title for the longest time for an album to return to No.1 in the UK, after a period of 49 years and 252 days. This record title was also previously held by The Beatles with their eighth album Sgt Pepperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lonely Hearts Club Band, originally released on 26 May 1967. The album made its way to the top of the UK charts again in June 2017, with a gap of 49 years and 125 days. Abbey Road was originally released on 26 September 1969 and sat at the top of the UK charts for 17 weeks. It has become globally recognised through the years by the iconic album cover of the band members, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison walking across a zebra crossing outside the London recording studios. The Abbey Road Anniversary Edition features 17 original tracks such as "Come Together" and "Here Comes the Sun", newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell, as well as 23 unreleased session recordings and demos. The album release was accompanied by a new music video for "Here Comes the Sun", featuring photos from the Apple Corps archive and footage supplied by Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney, who also holds the record for the most UK chart singles by a songwriter, has spoken out about the albums long-standing success. "It's hard to believe that Abbey Road still holds up after all these years. But then again itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bloody cool album," Paul McCartney. Thousands of fans flocked to the Abbey Road Studios in London, which the album takes its name and cover from, to mark its half century anniversary. The anniversary has also been celebrated globally with events, pop-up shops and fan-activity all over the world, including a huge mural earlier this year located in the band's hometown of Liverpool, wholly inspired by the album artwork. Up until the album's release, Oasis front man and avid Beatles fan Liam Gallagher held the UK No.1 album with Why Me? Why Not. However Abbey Road Anniversary Edition proves the power of The Beatles and their loyal fans, as they secured the top spot within just a few days of the album's release. 2

"Plosgans, paweljoen pou"… Die woorde is beskrywend... van 'n ou vriend van my en Jumbo. Hy is eintlik dierbaar en kan so lekker uit sy maag uit lag as hy vir ons die staaltjies vertel. Hy erf by sy Ouma 'n lekker klompie geld toe hy in Matriek was... nou wat doen 'n mannetjie eerste as hy geld kry? Hy koop 'n kar! Na vele pogings, kry hy sy lisensie net so voor die Universiteit open… Die man koop ook nie 'n wafferse motor nie, hy koop so 'n parmantige sportkarretjie met 'n afslaan kap, en om by die groter prentjie in te pas, 'n Ray Ban sonbril… Die man is oorgehaal vir die Universiteit en al die uitdagings en verleidelikhede wat saam met die Varsity jare uitgerol word…

"Kyk nou vir my" sê hy, en die demonstrasie volg saam met die storie… "Die Sondag middag "cruise" ek so deur Stellenbosch se strate, bril op die oë, elmboog so oor die deur, en kap afgeslaan, "man!” sê hy, ek sien 'n paar aanvallige dametjies by die Porra op die hoek en ek besluit, nou is die tyd om die skoner geslag van naderby te leer ken… Ek sien 'n oop parkeer plek, trek vining daarin, kyk in die spieël of die kuif reg hang, en klim toe so in paaiemente uit. Hulle moet mos die prentjie reg lees… die volle prent. Die man is so 6 voet 4 in die ou terme… Wat toe gebeur, het hy nie voorsien nie… Hy het langs 'n oop manga gat parkeer, en met die tweede paaiement wat moes uitklim, is die eerste paaiement in die gat... Hy kon nie eers keer nie, en val hom des merdes... Ray Ban tot vandag toe skoonveld … Die man breek sy arm en kraak sy neus… Hy kyk ons so ernstig aan en heel bedees sê hy..."Die meisies was so jammer vir my, die een het met my ongevalle toe gery, en so in die ry vir my 'n preek afgesteek wat min of meer daarop neerkom dat dit is wat jy oorkom as jy wil windg...t wees”. Nodeloos om te sê, sy ego is saam met sy Ray Ban in die manga in… Die Here Jesus deel mos met ons op Sy unieke manier. Ons dink nog ons is die kat se snor, dan is ons wind uit ons seile… vra my, ek praat uit dure ondervinding… Kyk waar julle parkeer hierdie naweek. Pasop vir die slaggate van die lewe, hulle raak meer en meer… Mooi loop en groete van huis tot huis… Rika. 3

Alyssa Jung The art of microwaving is about more than just pressing the “popcorn” button. If you’re making this microwave mistake, you’re using your microwave wrong. You don’t cook your veggies in it Believe it or not, the plain old microwave might trump all the chef-y cooking techniques you use to cook your veggies. Vegetables retain their highest nutrient content the less they’re exposed to heat and water. That means nuking your broccoli will preserve more vitamin C and cancer-fighting glucosinolate than pretty much any other method (besides stovetop steaming); plus, it’ll leave you with fewer dirty pans to scrub later.

METODE: • Pakkie brood deeg gekoop (1kg). So in die plastieksak laat rys tot sak lyk of dit kan bars. • Deeg uitgerol tot ongeveer 1/2 (0.5) cm dik. • Druk 10cm sirkels uit. • Bestrooi kleinbordjies met meel en plaas elke sirkel in sy eie bordjie. • Laat effens rys. • Verf daarna elke degie versigtig met olie. • Plaas al die bordjies met degies in effens lou afgeskakelde oond. • Maak oonddeur toe en begin dan die vulsel van jou keuse voor te berei en gaar te maak. • Intussen kan deegsirkels tot ongeveer 1.5cm dik rys. • Maak olie in pan warm op medium hitte en ongeveer 3cm diep. • Toets met klein stukkie oorskiet deeg. As dit lekker braai is die olie reg. • Keer nou die deeg versigtig om op die palm van jou hand en dan weer terug op groot ‘strain spoon’ en dan versigtig in die olie. • Skep dan onmiddelik 1 of 2 of 3 eetlepels van die warm olie bo-op die vetkoek. Dit laat dit lekker pof. Hou maar dop. Nie te vinnig nie, anders pof dit soos ‘n blaas. • Draai om wanneer mooi lig goudbruin. • As die kante bietjie wit is, hou die kante so paar sekondes in die olie. • Lewer ongeveer 14 vetkoeke.

We live and die by our cell phone, rarely giving it the chance to reboot and refresh. But are you harming the device without knowing it? We asked the experts. For many of us, our smartphones have become a touchstone of life. It affects how we do our jobs, interact with our friends and family, and even how we access important information like our banking, and healthcare. But are you taking proper care of it? Experts say that knowing simple care tips, such as how often to shut it down, can drastically affect how well your phone will continue to perform the older it gets. That means the simple knowledge of when to turn it on and off, can cost you hundreds of dollars in pre-maturely replacing your phone. But just how often do we need to shut off our smartphones? As opposed to how often you need to shut down your computer, your smartphone has a more hard and fast rule you should live by: once a week, shut it off, let it rest at least one minute, and then you can fire it back up. There are multiple reasons why you’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week, and it’s for a good cause: retaining memory, preventing crashes, running more smoothly, and prolonging battery life. Let’s talk first about all the apps you use on a daily basis. “In most cases, the app isn’t really closed but rather, it’s put into a state where it can be restarted faster,” says Bob Motamedi, a Los Angeles-based tech consultant. “Now think about how many apps are open, slowly eating memory and battery power on the phone, and think about all those times you’ve thought that your phone drained entirely too fast that day.” Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gets rid of anything draining your battery. Crashing happens for various reasons, but not restarting your phone can definitely have an effect here as well, as every update, page loaded, and app installed or deleted will add and remove code in the operating system of the phone. “Sometimes these remnants are incompatible or improperly removed after installation or un-installation,” says Motamedi. “Restarting your phone will eliminate most of these issues and will get your phone working better.” The good news is that even though failing to restart your phone periodically could zap memory and cause crashes, it won’t directly kill your battery. What could kill your battery is always rushing to recharge. “If you never let your battery drain fully, it will never ‘learn’ to recharge fully and will shorten the battery’s life,” says Motamedi. “It’s recommended that you let the battery drain down to 0 percent, and then refill it back up to 100 percent.” The same is true for laptops, according to Josh Davis of Abt Electronics in Glenview, Illinois. “After a couple of years of leaving your laptop plugged in all the time, you can expect it not to hold much of a charge at all when you go portable.” To help preserve memory and prevent crashes, consider restarting your smartphone at least once a week. We promise you won’t miss too much in the two minutes it might take to reboot.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Not so much. Try this fruit, instead. You may know the silent signs of a heart attack or stroke, but preventing one is another beast altogether. Exercise and sleep are great habits that reduce your risk but don’t overlook the power of your diet. According to a study, you might want to add bananas and other potassium-rich foods to your plan—and limit these foods cardiologists never eat. What the study says Researchers at the University of Alabama have found that eating bananas every day could help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Their study, which aimed to determine how the mineral potassium affects blood flow and artery health, examined mice who received a diet containing either low, normal, or high levels of potassium. Overall, mice given a low-potassium diet had much harder arteries than their counterparts. Mice who received high levels of potassium, on the other hand, showed significantly less artery hardening and reduced stiffness in their aorta, as well. Previous also research supports the importance of potassium Previous studies and data also show that a potassium-rich diet helps lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease, according to Ragavendra Baliga, MD, a cardiologist at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “One analysis published in the Journal of American College of Cardiology in 2011 included data from 11 studies and 250,000 people,” Dr. Baliga says. “This study reported that an average increase of 1540 mg of dietary potassium per day is linked to a 21 percent reduced risk of stroke.” The University of Alabama study, however, is among the first to investigate the mineral’s impact on artery health. Getting enough potassium helps maintain a healthy heartbeat, according to Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDN, CDE, a preventative cardiology dietitian. “When potassium is deficient, low levels can cause heart arrhythmias and potentially impair blood flow to the brain, muscles, and organs,” she says. According to experts, potassium also improves your heart’s function by regulating your heartbeat, digesting carbohydrates, and building muscle.

Carrie Madormo From heart-healthy benefits to cancer-fighting properties, find out just what happens when you start drinking tea every day. If you’re sipping a cup of tea while reading this, you’re supporting just about every organ in your body. Unsweetened tea is rich in antioxidants, which prevent chronic diseases and help repair cells in the body. “Tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, which contains antioxidants known as catechins, most importantly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG),” says Anthony Kouri, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in Toledo, Ohio. “These eliminate free radicals in the body and reduce inflammation.” So pinkies up; it’s time to learn about the amazing benefits (and just a few risks) of drinking tea. Your risk of certain cancers goes down The antioxidants and compounds found in tea have been linked to a lower risk of certain cancers. “Beneficial effects have been found in skin, prostate, lung, and breast cancers,” says Uma Naidoo, MD, Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and Faculty at Harvard Medical School. “Different types of tea impact different cancers.” Drinking tea is just one of the simple ways you can prevent cancer. Your skin will be healthier Drinking black tea regularly can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. Interestingly, how you prepare it makes a difference. “Hot black tea is helpful for squamous carcinoma of the skin,” says Dr. Naidoo. Hot tea has been found to be more beneficial than the iced alternative and brewing time matters. Your risk of diabetes decreases Drinking black tea every day can lower your risk of type 2 diabetes by helping to control your blood sugar after meals. According to a study in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, black tea can lower your blood sugar and after eating foods containing sucrose. Your teeth will be stronger While sipping tea throughout the day could slightly stain your teeth, it may be worth it. According to a study in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, green tea has an antibacterial effect that could reduce cavity-forming bacteria in your mouth. Drinking green tea every day could also make cavities less severe. Your heart will thank you Tea’s anti-inflammatory properties can keep your blood vessels relaxed and clear, putting less stress on your heart. “Catechins reduce inflammation and thus inhibit plaque formation in vital arteries,” says Dr. Kouri. Dr. Naidoo recommends drinking three cups of black tea per day to achieve the heart benefits. Your risk of Alzheimer’s disease could decrease The thought of you or a loved one being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease is frightening. It’s important to know the early warning signs and do what you can to prevent it. “Green tea can help you develop resistance against stress, and potentially Alzheimer’s disease,” says Dr. Naidoo. “The polyphenols protect cells from damage.” Your sleep could improve If you spend your nights tossing and turning, try winding down with a cup of tea before bed. “East-Asian medicinal tea can improve insomnia,” says Dr. Naidoo. According to a study in Integrative Medicine Research, drinking tea can help improve sleep and quality of life in those with mild-to-moderate insomnia. Your attention span may improve The caffeine in tea can improve your attention and alertness. “Theanine is an amino acid that is virtually unique to tea (apart from the fungus Bay bolete),” explains Dr. Naidoo. “It may also improve attention by relaxing the brain, but stimulating it when it is time to focus.” If you ever find yourself having difficulty with focus or concentration, try steeping a warm cup of tea just before it’s time to work. Your metabolism speeds up Ready to speed up your metabolism while sitting at your kitchen counter? “The caffeine in tea helps to improve mental acuity as well as increase metabolism and fat burning (up to 100 calories per day),” says Dr. Kouri. Just be sure you’re not overdoing it in the caffeine department. One cup of green tea contains about 40 milligrams of caffeine, and Dr. Kouri recommends limiting your daily caffeine intake to no more than 300 to 400 milligrams. You may not absorb enough iron The catechins in tea can alter your body’s ability to absorb iron. This means that even if you eat enough high-iron foods, you won’t get the benefits and could become anemic. “Though most healthy people will not be affected by this, those who have iron deficiency or anemia should abstain from large amounts of green tea,” recommends Dr. Kouri. This includes children, pregnant women, and anyone with a history of kidney disease. You could be at higher risk of bleeding Drinking a large amount of tea every day could put you at risk for bleeding from a minor cut or bump. “It makes you more prone to bruising, explains Michelle Lee, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California. “I require all my patients to stop drinking tea two to three weeks before surgery.” Your medication may not work While the benefits of tea seem unlimited, talk with your doctor and pharmacist before brewing a pot every day. “Catechins can interfere with some heart and blood pressure medications,” warns Dr. Kouri. “It is important to discuss this with your doctor.” How much tea should I drink? Studies vary on how many cups of tea to drink per day. You want to get the most benefits without overdoing the caffeine. “To get the maximum health benefits from green tea, it is most effective to drink three to five cups of green tea per day,” recommends Dr. Kouri. Which tea is the healthiest? When choosing a tea, make sure it is unsweetened. Even if some flavored teas contain no calories, they could still have artificial sweeteners and preservatives. Opt for making your own tea as opposed to buying it already prepared. “The more tea leaves are processed, the less effective the catechins become, explains Dr. Kouri. “Green tea is minimally processed and has the greatest health benefits of the available teas.” Pour a cup today While you can always have too much of a good thing, tea is a healthy choice for the vast majority of healthy adults. “In general, those who drink green tea regularly are healthier than those who do not,” says Dr. Kouri. “It is very safe to drink and only has drawbacks when consumed in very large quantities.” So claim those health benefits and get steeping today.

The Nama word ''Tsoakhaub'' can be translated as ''excrement opening'' which was offensive but accurate description of the waters of Swakop River at the time of coming down in floods carrying masses of mud, sand, pieces of vegetation and animal corpses. The masses of dirty and muddy water were emptied into the ocean and the indigenous name described it very well. The Nama name was changed to ''Swachaub'' and with proclamation of Swakopmund as independent district in 1896 the present way of writing came into use. 18
