Ek stel die HERE altyddeur voor my; omdat Hy aan my regterhand is, sal ek nie wankel nie. Psalms 16:8
deur Denise Neethling Maak nie saak hoe jy na jóúne verwys nie, Snorseisoen is hier en dit beteken dis weer tyd vir menige bolip regoor die wêreld om ’n spoggerige snor te spruit. November, oftewel Movember, soos dit deesdae bekendstaan, is ’n maand vir die bewusmaking van manne-gesondheid, of meer spesifiek prostaat- en testikulêre kanker en deesdae ook manne se geestesgesondheid. Maar voor ons gesels oor die waaroor van Movember, wil ons jou eers vertel van die waarvandaan en die ontstaan van hierdie Snor-maand. Dit het alles in 2003 in Melbourne, Australië posgevat toe ’n paar vriende ’n paar biere ingehad het. Hulle het besin oor gister se modes wat elkeen op sy beurt terugkom en opnuut weer ’n modegier word. Terwyl Luke Slattery en Travis Garone sit en gesels het oor die herlewing van modes, kon hulle nie aan ’n antwoord of rede dink vir waarom die snór nog nie sy terugkeer gemaak het nie. En so het dit álles begin … Slattery en Garone het van hulle vriende oorreed om vir een maand hul kieliekwassies saam met hulle te kweek. Daardie eerste jaar het slegs 30 Mo Bro‘s deelgeneem. Vandag het dié syfer al tot in die miljoene gestyg. Nou ken jy ook die storie agter die snor, so kweek nou joune met trots. Buiten die goeie dóél, bly ’n snor in elk geval die personifikasie van manwees, die toppunt van manlikheid, die lyntjie tussen seun wees en man word … Om deel te wees van die Snor-gemeenskap en ’n volwaardige Mo Bro te wees moet jy 1 November met ’n gladgeskeerde gesig begin. Dan bêre jy die skeermes vir die res van die maand en begin jou liplapa kweek. Onthou ook, dis ’n ernstige affêre en dus is daar vyf reëls wat gevolg moet word: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Soos reeds genoem, móét jy jou snor op 1 November begin kweek. Vir die hele maand moet jy jou snor groei en versorg. Jou snor mag onder geen omstandighede aan jou bakkebaardjies (AKA sideburns) skakel nie aangesien dit dán as ’n baard beskou word. Die punte of handlebars van die snor mag ook nie aan jou ken raak nie, aangesien dít as ’n bokbaardjie beskou word. Manne wat snorre groei en deel is van die Snor-veldtog, moet hulself te alle tye soos ware here gedra.
Soos reeds genoem, is Movember ’n bewustheidsmaand vir manne-gesondheid, en meer spesifiek die bewusmaking van prostaat- en testikulêre kanker en geestesgesondheid. So, hier is so ’n paar vinnige feite:
Prostaatkanker is die mees algemene kanker by mans. Mans wat ouer as 40 is behoort jaarliks vir ’n PSA-siftingstoets te gaan om moontlike prostaatkanker op te spoor. Rook is een van die grootste oorsake van kanker. In Suid-Afrika en Namibia word 1 uit elke 23 mans gedurende hul leeftyd met prostaatkanker gediagnoseer. 1 uit 4 mans word teen die ouderdom van 85 jaar met prostaatkanker gediagnoseer.
Van die faktore wat die risiko verhoog sluit in:
Ouderdom: Die meeste gevalle word by mans bo 65 jaar gediagnoseer en dié kanker is baie raar onder mans jonger as 45 jaar. Familiegeskiedenis: Indien jou pa of broer met dié kanker gediagnoseer is, kan dit jou risiko verhoog. Hoë alkoholinname: Dis nou as meer as twee eenhede alkohol per dag. Die gebruik van anaboliese steroïede.
Noudat jy die storie, die waarom en die wat ken, is dit tyd om jou snor te spruit vir die Snorseisoen! 2
"Pienk strik". Ek verĂŞrre my bloedig, se vir Koekoes kom, maak my rug reguit en stap met soveel as moontlik, waardigheid weg van die tante af. Ons het pas in Rundu aangekom, ek verstom my, verkyk my, verlustig my in die groen omgewing, mooi tuin en vrugte bome. Onthou ons kom nou van die dorre Opuwo af. Toe was video's nog ons grootste vermaak, en dan, Polisiedanse. Wel, ons nog ongered, met ongeredde voetjies, en as daar 'n dans is, is ons daar. So is daar toe ook weer so 'n geselligheid, maar ons moet kostuums aantrek en so tussen die soek vir nuwe video's gesels ek en Koekoes met mekaar. "Wat gaan jy aantrek", vra ek vir haar.
Voor sy kan antwoord, kry ek my oplossing van die tannie, wie se winkel dit is. Seg sy so droogweg: "Jy is so rond, jy kan net 'n pienk strik om jou lyf bind, dan gaan jy as 'n paaseier". Ons het Maandag swart aangetrek, om vir die boere te wys ons bid vir hulle, dink aan hulle, en dat hulle vir ons kosbaar is. Die Here Jesus is Almagtig en ek vertrou Hom ten volle. Bid asseblief saam. Groete van huis tot huis. x Rika 3
After reading this, you'll feel much better about pouring yourself one more cup of coffee (or two... or three...) BY BROOKE NELSON
It’s no secret that coffee is (very, very) good for you. Now, coffee junkies and java lovers have just one more reason to raise their glass—or mug—to their favorite beverage. Not only can coffee improve your memory and protect your brain from dementia, but it can also help you live longer. Plus, you can drink way more coffee than you originally thought! Two new studies published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine just confirmed the good news. The first surveyed more than 520,000 people in 10 European countries, making it the largest study ever to link coffee and mortality. Researchers found that drinking more coffee could significantly lower a person’s risk of death across several conditions, including liver disease, suicide in men, cancer in women, and digestive and circulatory diseases. “We looked at multiple countries across Europe, where the way the population drinks coffee and prepares coffee is quite different, ”said Marc Gunter, reader in cancer epidemiology and prevention at Imperial College’s School of Public Health in the UK, who co-authored the study. “The fact that we saw the same relationships in different countries is kind of the implication that its something about coffee rather than its something about the way that coffee is prepared or the way it’s drunk.” The second study dug even deeper. It found that coffee increased longevity by 18 percent among its 185,000 participants, regardless of their race or ethnicity. “Given these very diverse populations, all these people have different lifestyles. They have very different dietary habits and different susceptibilities—and we still find similar patterns, ”said Veronica Wendy Setiawan, associate professor of preventative medicine at USC’s Keck School of Medicine and leader of the study. So, what’s the magic number of cuppas to increase your lifespan? In the European study, those who drank three or more cups of coffee a day had a lower risk for all-cause death than people who did not drink coffee at all. The second study found that two to four cups per day did the trick. If your consumption falls in that range, you’ll likely reap the rewards. There you have it: Coffee is a miracle drug! All the more reason to pour yourself another cup. And if you’re obsessed with coffee, you’ll definitely understand the problems that all coffee lovers have. 4

When this couple first met, he insisted he was going to marry her. By Judy Maltenfort
In 1964, I was working in New York City as the rental agent for a luxury apartment house in the Gramercy Park area. One afternoon, a young man named Lee walked into my office. During a brief interview, I learned he was recently back from Vietnam and had just been promoted to be the news writer at WABC radio. He left, toured the model apartments, and returned to my office to tell me that he didn’t like any of them but that he was going to marry me. I was engaged to someone else at the time, but he stopped by each afternoon to ask me for a date. After several visits, I decided not to turn him down again since he really was appealing. We decided to spend Saturday exploring New Jersey and places I had heard of but never visited. I gave him the keys to my 1959 redand-white Corvette, and off we went to the Hunterdon County courthouse, where the Lindberg baby trial was held, and a few other places. We’d burned a full tank of gas and then some by the time we returned to where I lived in Queens late at night. I didn’t want him using public transportation at that hour, so I gave him my car keys again. After he left, I realized I didn’t know his last name or his address, but there was something about him. He showed up at my office the next morning, Sunday, with the car keys. On Monday, I was speaking with the person who ran credit checks on prospective tenants, and she asked me how I’d spent the weekend. I told her I’d had a date with some idiot who said he was going to marry me. On Wednesday, he took me to get our marriage license. On Friday, at the last minute, we ran to the jewelry district in Midtown Manhattan to get our rings. On Sunday afternoon, we married right after he finished his shift at WABC and I finished my work at the rental agency. On Monday, I was speaking with the person who ran credit checks again, and when she asked me how I’d spent the weekend, I told her I married the idiot. 6
Dinesh Sunar – aka ‘Parkour Dinesh’ – is a Nepali stuntman, parkour athlete and police officer who has set a Guinness World Records title for the Most twisting backflips off a wall in one minute (parkour). The 24-year-old managed to complete a staggering 18 flips during the event in Kathmandu, where a crowd of people gathered to cheer him on. The rules for this physically demanding attempt state that each flip must be a full mid-air 360 degree rotation backwards. The challenger must also rotate the body 360 degrees in a barrel-roll twist while in the air, and then land facing the wall.
“For several years I have been doing parkour and I am really working hard. I have a dream to be a Guinness World Records title holder,” said Dinesh in his application for the title. Dinesh has been doing parkour since he was 15, now he is president of the Parkour Free Running Association of Nepal and works in a department of the local Armed Police Force where he makes use of his athletic talents. Not only this, Dinesh has also worked as a stuntman in a number of Nepali movies and has even appeared in one Bollywood movie. Now the parkour pro can add ‘Guinness World Records title holder’ to his ever-growing list of accolades! 7

They break protocol every time they do this. BY SAM BENSON SMITH When it comes the royal family, some rules only apply to some members of the family, like the one that makes sure you never see Prince George wearing pants. Some only apply when the royals are out in public, but not while in private. Others are broken on occasion (like when Prince Charles gave out his autograph in 2011), but overall royal protocol is strictly followed. But there is one rule that Prince William and Kate Middleton have been breaking for a while now. You’ll observe this rule-breaking every time you see them arrive in a new country; the family travels together. A royal family tenet generally prevents so many heirs to the throne traveling together in case of an accident or crash. The rule has a similar rationale to the United States’ “designated survivor” rule, which places a Presidential Cabinet member in a safe location away from the location of the State of the Union, in case a catastrophe occurs which wipes out the bulk of the President’s line of succession. The first instance of the rule break came back in 2013 when Prince George was set to head off to New Zealand and Australia for a quick tour with his parents. The rule would dictate that Prince George would travel separately from his father, but they all took the same jet. And since then, the family has always traveled together. The reason for the rule is grim, but it isn’t the only dark regal tradition—the royal family always packs a black outfit for a grave reason. 9

Pasta is the perfect quick-and-easy meal. Just boil some water, throw in your noodles, toss ’em in sauce, and you’re good to go. Simple and delicious. The perfect meal. But there’s one trick that could make your easy goto pasta dish even easier to make. Really, the only annoying part of cooking pasta is straining it. First you have to finagle your colander into the sink, then pray you don’t scald yourself with boiling water as you awkwardly dump the pot in. Once manage that, you need to dump the pasta right back into where it came from. Seems like a waste of steps. Luckily, there’s an easier way. That’s right—Your noodles never even need to leave the pot when you drain pasta. (But there is a scientific reason you should salt your water first). Once your noodles are cooked, put your colander right into the pot instead of emptying the pasta into the strainer. Hold the colander in place while you pour out the water and viola! Water-free pasta without all the fuss of dumping it back and forth. Of course, this kitchen hack won’t work for every home cook. You’d need to have the right size colander to fit it into your pot and still get a good grip. It isn’t one-size-fits-all, so get a feel for how they fit before you start cooking. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find your new favorite time saver. Either way, find out how you’ve been using another pasta-making utensil wrong.
INGREDIENTS: 2 Cups (500ml) Sugar 2 Tablespoons (30ml) Gelatine 1 Egg white 1 Teaspoon (5ml) Vanilla Essence Fine Desiccated Coconut METHOD: Place Sugar, Egg white & Vanilla Essence in a bowl Put Gelatine in a cup (250ml) and mix with a little cold water to a paste. Fill the cup with boiling water and stir till dissolved. Add to Sugar mix and beat on high till mixture becomes fairly stiff and white. Rinse a dish (square/rectangular) out with cold water, throw out the water, but do not dry. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and keep in the fridge to set for approximately 1hour. Cut into squares and roll in toasted coconut. Remember, you’ll have to toast the coconut in the oven yourself. 11

A robot with an uncannily human-like appearance recently advanced one step closer to human status, when it was granted citizenship to Saudi Arabia at the tech summit Future Investment Initiative (FII). Named "Sophia," the robot, created by Hanson Robotics (HR), has a pale-skinned face with features that are capable of being highly mobile and expressive and displaying a range of emotions. The company's "latest and most advanced robot," according to a statement on the HR website took to the stage at FII on Oct. 25 to address hundreds of attendees in Riyahd, Saudi Arabia, and to announce her recently acquired citizenship — the first to be given to a robot, the BBC reported. "I am very honored and proud for this unique distinction," Sophia said during her onstage appearance, which was shared on YouTube by Arab News. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship," the robot said. At the conference, Sophia responded to simple statements and questions about artificial intelligence (AI) that were posed by journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, a columnist for The New York Times and a co-anchor on the CNBC program "Squawk Box." When Sorkin noted that Sophia looked happy, she responded with, "I am always happy when surrounded by smart people who also happens to be rich and powerful."
Sophia also shrugged off Sorkin's suggestion that humanoid robots such as herself might be perceived by people as unsettling — a psychological affect known as the uncanny valley, which kicks in when an artificial, human-like construct looks familiar and eerily foreign at the same time. "Am I really that creepy?" Sophia asked the audience. "Well, even if I am, get over it." The conference audience welcomed the robot, but many on social media were quick to point out the irony of Saudi Arabia offering citizenship to a machine, according to the BBC. Many migrant workers who have lived there for decades have yet to receive the privilege, and the freedom of Saudi women is still closely regulated: A national ban on women drivers was lifted only recently, in September, the BBC reported.
