“Many people assume a dog knows he was ‘bad’ when he’s done something wrong because he will look ‘ashamed’ or ‘guilty’ but the truth is the dog is just reacting to your body language and tone,” Askeland says. Your dog isn’t “sorry” that he knocked over your plants, he’s scared and upset because he can see you are angry—dogs really aren’t capable of feeling those higher-level emotions that their owners often like to ascribe to them. Instead of making your dog apologize, work more on training the behaviors you want to see, she says.—Charlotte Hilton Andersen
"Behandel nooit 'n vreemdeling suur nie, want jy weet nooit of die Here hom gestuur het nie". Bekend? Rye… ek haat dit met 'n passie om in 'n ry te staan (skuus, ek weet ek moet daaraan werk), maar rye ontsenu my… en tog… in rye het ek al die heerlikste gesprekke gehad, lesse geleer en toetse gedop… Gister staan ek in die ry in ons befaamde inkoopsentrum, en dis besig… baie besig en die ry waarin ek staan om geld te trek… raak dood eenvoudig nie korter nie… En oudergewoonte moet ek gesels… en jou wrintie, agter my staan 'n dametjie uit Engeland, en sy "Loooove" Namibie met sy diverse landskap en voor my staan die mooiste dame vanaf Pretoria… en ons gesels soos ou vriende… ons 3 vreemdelinge.
So is daar eendag 'n klop aan die deur, nou praat ek van paar jaar gelede… ek maak oop en die jongman voor my sê so ewe vir my "ek hoor tannie maak 'n "mean" lekker koppie koffie, hoe lyk dit met 'n koffie” Ek sê "Boeta, jy praat my taal, jy het reg gehoor, ek maak vrek lekker koffie… Ons gesels, ons ruil inligting uit en hy eet driekwart van my koekies op. Intussen kom Jumbo huistoe, trek die bakkie in en stap in… Die klong waarmee ek nou so lekker gekuier het, spring op en en sê "Heng Oom, maar Jean het nooit gesê sy pa is so groot nie"… Wel, toe besef ons al drie… hier is êrens iets nie so heel pluis nie… Ons het nie 'n seun Jean nie, maar ek het soos gewoonlik nie behoorlik geluister met die oopmaak van die deur nie. Ek “boeta” hom heeltyd en hy “tannie” my, so name was so bo-langs en oor ons koppe gegooi… ek ken toe verbasend baie mense wat hy ken, en ons gesels… Einde van die dag eet hy by ons en maak ek nog bekers vol koffie. Ons het sy ouers leer ken en ons is vandag nog vriende, vriende waarmee jy jou "heilige koeie" met vrymoedigheid kan vertrou… Kom ons wees hierdie tyd die vriend van hulle wat koffie soek... Maak jou hart oop, hoor die verlange en verstaan... die hart van Ons Here Jesus. Hy staan by die deur en Hy klop… Mag julle almal die liefde en genade ervaar, van 'n opgestane Heiland… Mooi loop en groete van huis tot huis x Rika

A SLANG WORD FROM 2019 THAT WE CAN’T STAND Charlotte Hilton Andersen “K” Never has so much been said by one single letter—a letter oozing with disdain. Texting a single “k”— uncapitalized with no punctuation—to someone is technically a short version of “OK.” But these days it is slang for “You’re boring and annoying. Never talk to me again. Or do. I don’t care. You’re nothing to me.” 3

WHY QUEEN ELIZABETH II WILL NEVER GTIVE UP THE THRONE Lauren Cahn Queen Elizabeth II promised she’d reign for life. On her 21st birthday, Queen Elizabeth II promised England she’d be their Queen for life. “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong,” she said. That’s a big promise, but she’s kept to it for going on 67 years now. 5

On October 14, 1992, in the city of Pokhara, Nepal, the lives of Roop Bahadur and Dhan Maya changed forever. Roop had just given birth to their first child. They named him Khagendra Thapa Magar and little did they know that he would one day become the shortest living man (mobile). Of course, Khagendra – whose name means "Lord of the Birds" – was extremely small when he'd been born; smaller than any baby the couple had seen before. “He was so tiny when he was born that he could fit in the palm of your hand and it was very hard to bath him because he was so small.” Dhan, Khagendra’s father, recalled. Though it's doubtless that his parents worried about him and his health, Khagendra continued to grow and gain strength. But it soon became apparent that he would never reach the size of his peers – in fact, he would remain much, much smaller than other boys of his age. A while later, Khagendra received a brother who soon outgrew his older sibling and reached average height. After hearing of Khagendra, Guinness World Records were sure he was the shortest teenager they'd ever seen - but first, he needed to have official measurements taken. So, in February 2010, aged 17 years, Khagendra took his first international trip, flying to Rome in Italy to be measured by a team of doctors for the TV show Lo Show dei Record. It was then that he was confirmed to be 65.58 cm, making him the shortest living teenager (male). As October approached, it was clear that Khagendra was also on track to usurp the current record holder for the shortest living man (mobile) at the time, Edward Niño Hernandez (Colombia), who measured 70.21 cm tall. On the day he turned 18, Khagendra was measured once again, this time at the Fewa City Hospital in Pokhara, Nepal. It was there, dressed in a suit for the official occasion, that he had his new title confirmed. Marco Frigatti VP of records at Guinness World Records, was on hand to oversee proceedings. “We have very strict and precise rules for how the measurement should be taken for the shortest man. He has to be measured three times a day - in the morning, at noon and in the evening - and then we take the average measurement for the official result” Marco Frigatti - VP of records Khagendra’s official measurement was 67.08 cm. He also weighed around 6 kg. His short stature was attributed to a proportionate form of dwarfism known as "primordial dwarfism" (PD). It was also in 2010 that the Khagendra took his first trip to the US, to visit the Wadlow exhibit at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in New York City. The exhibit, all about Robert Wadlow, the tallest man ever, must have been fascinating to the shortest man living – especially as Khagendra is just 20 cm taller than the length of one of Robert’s shoes! Today, Khagendra lives with his parents and likes to spend time in the family’s shop, making music - he plays the madal drum - and riding on his brother’s motorcycle. "I was really excited to catch up with Khagendra for the Guinness World Records 2020 edition," said the book's Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, who first met the Nepali back in 2010. "It's an honour to be able to celebrate little people such as Khagendra, and to share their remarkable stories. When you're this size, it can't be easy fitting into a world designed for the average person, so it's great to see that Khagendra's lost none of his enthusiasm for life." He’s held the record for shortest living man (mobile) for nine years and his former title of shortest living teenager (male) is yet to be broken. Throughout his record-breaking years, he has had the opportunity to meet other “shortest people” record holders, including Jyoti Amge (India) who holds the record for shortest woman living (mobile), measuring 62.8 cm. She too used to hold the record for shortest living teenager (female) and her teen record is also yet to be broken.

A MAGIC PHRASE TO MAKE ANYONE TRUST YOU Marissa Laliberte “In my opinion…” When you’re about to share that dissenting opinion, transition between showing you want to understand the other perspective and your take on the subject. Phrases like “in my opinion” and “others suggest” make you seem more open to other opinions than “I” statements. “Try to use pronouns that don’t make it onesided,” Dr. Gueldenzoph Snyder says. “Immediately saying ‘I think’ puts the focus on you instead of the combined conversation.” Also avoid saying “actually” and “in your opinion,” which imply the other person is wrong. Said the wrong thing? 8
WHAT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY THE 13TH Andy Simmons
On Friday, November 13, 1829 … Ten thousand people gathered to watch Sam Patch jump into New York’s Genesee River from atop the Genesee Falls. Only weeks earlier, he’d leaped off Niagara Falls and into the Niagara River and survived. He wasn’t as lucky this time. 9

Now THAT'S how you get a kiss! In March of 1962 in California, I took a picture of myself in a four-for-a-quarter photo booth at the Santa Monica Pier. When I showed it to my neighbor, her sailor boyfriend, Larry, asked if he could take the picture back to Port Hueneme Naval Base in Oxnard, California, to show two brothers who he thought would like to meet me. The following weekend, Larry brought me a picture of both brothers and told me that they both wanted to meet me and to choose. I chose Carl. Shortly after we met, Carl took me to my sweet 16 birthday party. We began seeing each other on his weekend liberties. I wasn’t really allowed to date, so we watched television or did things with friends. Carl would hitchhike to come visit me. It would take him several hours to get to my home. One evening, after he had hitchhiked from Port Hueneme, he called me from the corner telephone booth and asked if he could come see me. It was after my 9 p.m. curfew, so my father said no. Of course, my world ended, and I cried a bucket of tears. A few minutes later, I heard something hitting the sliding glass door on the balcony of my second-story room. I went outside on the balcony, and there was this handsome sailor tossing pebbles. I told him to stop because he was going to get me in trouble. Carl said that he had come all this way and wasn’t leaving without a kiss. I told him that I could not come downstairs, so I waved goodbye and went inside. Soon something hit the sliding glass door again, but harder and louder. I went outside, and there was Carl, hanging from the balcony railing, saying he was not leaving without a kiss! I bent down and gave him a kiss. He dropped to the ground, headed for the street, and stuck out his thumb for his long trip back to base. A little over two years later, on August 15, 1964, we married. I am thankful Carl tossed those pebbles at my door that night. Even though he no longer tosses pebbles, I am still giving him those kisses. 10
MEER OOR ROOIBOS (Aspalathus linearis) ROOIBOS is 'n lid van die Fabaceae-familie plante, en word algemeen gebruik om kruietee van te maak. Dit behoort tot die Aspalathus plantgroep, wat bestaan uit meer as 200 spesies wat in die Sederberge van Suid-Afrika groei. Die blare van die bos word geoes, gekneus en in die son gelaat om te oksideer, waarna hulle hul kenmerkende rooi kleur verkry. Hierdie produk word dan gekook of in water laat lê soos tee, om 'n drankie te maak wat beide warm en koud geniet word. Die produk word ook gereeld as "rooi tee" bemark. Rooibostee staan ook bekend as naald-, speld- of koopmanstee. Rooibos het ook sy opwagting gemaak in gesondheids- en skoonheidsprodukte, en was wyd deur die antieke San van die streek gebruik. Dit is vry van kafeïen en bevat Aspalathin, 'n geurstof wat gevind word in medisinale kruie wat gebruik word om vel- en sirkulasieprobleme mee te behandel. Rooibos het 'n besonder hoë vitamien C-inhoud van 15,7 mg per 100 g. Dit het min tannien (sowat 4,4 persent teenoor die 12 persent in gewone tee). Tannien belemmer die absorpsie van minerale. Rooibostee bevat ook klein hoeveelhede fluoried, kalsium en mangaan. Japannese navorsing oor die effekte van oligosakkariede, wat ook in Rooibos gevind word, dui aan dat hierdie stowwe die immuunstelsel help om virusinfeksies af te weer. Rooibos is ryk aan flavonoïde, antioksidante wat die optrede van Superoksied Dismutase (S.O.D.) naboots deurdat hulle vry radikale verwyder. Ander voorgestelde voordele sluit in: Anti-inflammatoriese en anti-allergiese eienskappe verligting van hooikoors, asma en allergieë verligting van slapeloosheid en spanning verligting van hardlywigheid, maagkrampe en koliek in klein kinders verligting van velprobleme soos aknee, ekseem en doekuitslag 11

JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF NONE Who is this Jack, and why is he so busy? A few hundred years ago, “jack” was simply slang for a laborer—a ghost-word still seen today in phrases like “lumberjack” and “steeplejack.” A “jack of all trades” was a generalist skilled in a bit of everything, which is exactly the sort of jack you want on the job. The modern “master of none” expression takes a dim view of such jacks, but that’s because we forget there’s another line to the proverb: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” 15
