ave you noticed how quiet the Bitcoin cheerleaders have gone of late?

Apparently the cryptocurrency has effectively halved in value since the latter part of last year and there are a lot of people who invested “only what they could afford to lose” who have now done that.

I am sure there are those among us who made money while Bitcoin was on its meteoric rise to Happyworldland because they left the party at the right time. There is an art to leaving at the right time.

I remember as a very young musician, playing in a pick-up band for a wedding reception in the Benoni Town Hall. A pick-up band was just that – someone landed a gig and needed a few additional instruments to make up a band to fulfil the contract. In this case the finder of the gig and de facto band leader, was an elderly Scotsman who had hired the cheapest musicians he could find and the sound was predictably dreadful.

But this was Benoni – hardly the cultural capital of the world – and, bum notes and all, the crowd was loving it.

This probably had more to do with the free drinks that were being hammered

C

by all and sundry than the musical talent on the stage, but we had made it through the third set of the evening and were busy wowing the crowd with a thumpingly awful version of the Hokey Pokey…

“You put your right foot in. You take your right foot out. You put your right foot in. And you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey. And you turn yourself around. And that's what it's all about.

Oh Oh the Hokey Pokey…”

Man, the crowd was on fire – they had formed a huge circle on the dance floor and were putting their right feet in and taking them out like their lives depended on it. It was the same with the left feet…and when it came to the chorus, they almost lifted the roof of the town hall with a tuneless roar… “OH OH THE HOKEY POKEY…” When we came to the end of that song the crowd went wild, yelling for more and flooding the stage with brandy and cokes despite the fact that I and a schoolmate Ricky – our bass player were not yet legally old enough to drink.

But at that moment we felt like rock stars. The crowd was loving us and we couldn’t wait to launch into the next tune – but, no – we were taking a break because, as the old Scotsman declared – “ye’ve got to leave ‘em wantin’ MOORE!” These, as it happens, proved to be wise words that stood me in good stead over the next decade as I played my way through what in retrospect was a colourful chapter in my life.

Leaving people wanting more effectively equates to quitting while you’re ahead, and it works well in musical performance. There are those who might venture to say that it works equally well in all other aspects of life too and it might be the kind of advice that Jacob Zuma should have taken before the chickens came home to roost – or as a Zulu friend of mine said… came home to roast.

Still, who isn’t partial to a freshly roasted chicken or two? They might even be better flame grilled the way Nando’s does them.

Hopefully the aroma of roasting chicken will soon fill the air over our beloved country and we can have a huge party to celebrate – heck, I might even dust off the old Hokey Pokey again!

EDUCATION

PREPARING YOUNG PEOPLE FOR TOMORROW

Education Is the Passport for the Future, For Tomorrow Belongs To Those Who Prepare For It Today

A

INSPIRED GIRLS REMARKABLE WOMEN

T St Mary’s, we do more than teach. We inspire our girls to greatness through the work of our experienced and committed teachers. Since 1906 the school has taken great pride in advancing the lives of all our pupils with a balanced and structured, yet flexible and innovative, approach to education. This gives each girl the opportunity to excel and achieve her personal best.

Beyond School St Mary’s has an excellent track record of our

students gaining places at the University of their choice. Research has shown that a greater percentage of pupils from girls’ schools go on to study at tertiary institutions than is the case in co-educational independent schools. Girls’ schools prepare and inspire pupils with pertinent knowledge by educating them to be resilient and confident. There is no obstacle preventing girls from exploring a career in any area.

Emotional Intelligence The rapid changes in the workplace requires people to become more resilient, open-minded and committed to life-long learning.

As a school, we have intentionally made this part of our “hidden curriculum”. Being a girls’ school unique opportunities exist for us to focus on understanding oneself and others. By developing our girls’ EQ, we enable them to develop perseverance, self-control and collaborative skills: all of which are associated with high personal and academic success.

Coding and Robotics As technology becomes more interwoven in people’ lives, St Mary’s is developing our cross curricular work further with more robotics, media production, entrepreneurship projects and design. This has meant that the high school has developed its own Makerspace and set of studios. Video cameras, light sets, green screens, Rasperry Pi’s and laser cutters are all part of this programme. Most of this work is done in groups so that collaboration and communication skills are also developed.

OPEN DAY 2018 To grow into a confident, strong and independent woman, a girl’s education must meet her needs. And at St Mary’s, we take the time to understand how girls learn differently so that we can offer her the kind of environment in which she can reach her ‘personal best’. Our 2017 matriculants achieved an average of 3.34 A’s per student, and we couldn’t be prouder.

By focussing on our girls’ Emotional Intelligence in world-class facilities, along with our Christian values and 112 years of education, our experienced teachers equip them with the tools they need for success in life.

CRAWFORDSCHOOLS

PREPARING LEARNERS FOR THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

W

E are becoming more and more aware that our students will be moving into a world of work that will be defined by jobs that don’t currently exist, using technologies that haven’t been invented, to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.

Five years from now, over one-third of skills (35%) that are considered important in today’s workforce will have changed.

According to the World Economic Forum, by 2020, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have bought us advanced, automated robotic processes and autonomous transport, as well as advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and use of advanced materials, biotechnology and genomics.

These developments will transform the way we live, and the way we work.

As stated by Harvard University: “Put simply, preparing our students to participate fully in today’s and tomorrow’s world demands that we nurture their global competencies.”

After extensive research, conversations and exploration of global educational approaches to these evolving workplace requirements,

CrawfordSchools™ defined the global competencies they would develop in their learners, from preschool through to matric.

They identified five key focus areas in this core skill continuum, namely: • Thinking skills (critical, creative and reflective thinking) • Research skills (inquiry learning and media literacy) • Communication skills (participating in discussions/ sharing of understandings) • Social Skills (collaborating with others/learning how to interact with others) • Self-management skills (reflection, growth mindset and self-regulation).

Together with the global competencies, CrawfordSchools™ introduced their GoLab programme into all their colleges from 2018. “This programme will advance our curriculum and offers a solution that exposes our learners to cutting-edge technologies that develop Steam (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) related skills to better prepare learners for their futures,” says Joao Luis, head of academics at the ADvTECH schools division.

The GoLab programme offers Crawford learners an interactive, practical-based learning environment and

Steam-integrated curriculum that promotes the development of higher order thinking skills such as collaboration, research, communication and technological skills, as well as design, critical and creative thinking, self-evaluation, selfmanagement, curiosity, and innovativeness.

As CrawfordSchools™ continue to explore and expand their approaches to teaching and learning, the core skills as global competencies continue to be a fundamental curriculum component included in all their schools, across all disciplines, for all learners of all ages.

All Crawford staff are engaged in regular training and conversations that support them in making authentic connections within their subjects, to develop these skills in a variety of contexts.

Continual communication and discussions around the development of these global skills and competencies continually take place between the Academics department at ADvTECH, leadership teams and staff at 4 all CrawfordSchools™, as well as with the parent communities of each school.

The doors that are opened at top universities locally and abroad for students who follow the Cambridge Curriculum, particularly for the students who matriculated in 2017, is so significant.

ESTON Agricultural College is a boys’ school with a difference, where the emphasis is on academic achievement, coupled with practical farming experience. In addition, the pupils are exposed to a variety of educational, sporting and cultural experiences, varying from rugby and cricket to horse endurance and debating.

The life of a Weston pupil is challenging and may, during a cold winter, be considered hard. The school day is mentally and physically challenging.

However, a pupil who is prepared to accept and meet the demands of these challenges will leave Weston with a sound academic base, strong work ethic and comprehensive practical knowledge.

So, what can you expect from a true Westonian? This college doesn't just educate boys, it equips them for life with the tools, skills and knowledge to become responsible, hard-working individuals who will add value to this ever-changing world.

DOLPHIN COAST PRE–PRIMARY

Maria Montessori

032 525 7826

Robbins Road, Salt Rock bbmontessori@iafrica.com www.ballitomontessori.co.za

It is every parent’s wish to provide their child with the best possible opportunities in life.

Choosing the correct Pre-School for your child is a major step.

Each child is unique with individual traits that require nurturing and development at a pace comfortable to that child.

Welcome to Ballito Bay Montessori Pre- School

O

ur School Vision commits us to provide quality education that will develop the full potential of every learner.

Our Motto is “Learning through Play”. Well, what does this mean?

Learning through play is a term used in education and psychology to describe how a child can learn to make sense of the world around them. Through play children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments. At Dolphin Coast Pre– Primary we encourage learning through play, whereby the children are allowed free choice during play time - to either play on the brand-new jungle gyms, paint at the easels or run around and play on the vast open spaces under our beautiful shady trees. All this fun and exploring time is undertaken in a caring and nurturing environment.

During class time the children can

express themselves through creative and fun activities such as drama, music, movement and visual arts. We have an airconditioned studio where we host many extra mural activities and therapy sessions. Dolphin Coast Pre– Primary is nestled in the leafy suburb of Ballito on the corner of Jacqueline and Hillary Drive. It is one of the oldest pre–schools in the area, where tradition and routine is paramount. We are an English medium co–educational preschool with a Christian ethos, catering for students from grade 000 - 0. Each class has a qualified teacher and an assistant. We are open from 7:15am - 12:00pm and have a safe and fun aftercare until 5pm to assist working mums and dads.

Early childhood only happens once in a lifetime and opportunities to open their minds must not be missed. It is a time for developing vital skills in communication, interpersonal skills and growing them as individuals.

KWADUKUZA MAYOR CONGRATULATES GROUTVILLE HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATORS

Simbithi Country Club Hosts PFP Celebration Dinner

Groutville High School is top performer in KwaDukuza

K

waDukuza Mayor Ricardo Mthembu extended heartfelt congratulations to Groutville High School educators following significant improvement in the 2017 matric pass rate.

The school attained 91.8% matric pass rate, well up from 70.52% in the previous year.

Groutville High School is now at the top of the KwaDukuza Circuit in terms of performance.

“We send our heartfelt congratulations to Groutville High School for their outstanding performance. We commend educators who worked tirelessly to elevate matric pass rate in 2017 academic year”, said Mthembu. He was addressing Grouville educators ahead of the luncheon that was organised by KwaDukuza Municipality to celebrate the school’s achievement.

IMBITHI COUNTRY CLUB was proud to host a celebration dinner for the Partners for Possibility North Coast Leadership Circle 1, last month.

Almost exactly a year after the LC was formed, nine school principals and their business leader partners celebrated the end of their formal programme together.

North Coast 1, as this first circle on the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal was called, brought together five primary, two secondary and one combined school in the internationally awarded Partners for Possibility programme.

Together, the schools represent 9 418 learners across Stanger and the iLembe district.

Partners for Possibility is a social enterprise that pairs a business leader with a school principal of an

under-resourced school. Together, the two partners work to identify the challenges facing their school and to address them. At the same time, they receive leadership development training that is accredited by the University of the Western Cape.

Simbithi Eco-Estate General Manager Malcolm Samuel, and Director Paul Sparks were part of the circle; Samuel partnered with RA Padayachee School principal Aleen Maharaj and Sparks with Sizani Combined School principal Ntombenhle July.

The partnership saw Samuels and Sparks foster meaningful relationships with their business partners – attending leadership courses and workshops together, and enriching the schools through the sharing of valuable business skills.

SPICE UP YOUR HEALTH KIM WILSON - LIFESTYLE HEALTH

I

’m sure we can all agree that there is nothing worse than bland food. I mean, who doesn’t love a good, flavourful Durban curry? However, there may be more than just flavour stored in your humble spice rack. Many herbs and spices have been extensively studied for their health benefits, and some are even used to treat and manage diseases. For the purposes of this article, the focus will be on 5 herbs and spices commonly found in your pantry. There are however many more herbs and spices that are beneficial to your health, so feel free to spice up your dishes with as wide a variety as you dare.

1.Turmeric

As the wunderkind of 2016/2017, we have probably all heard more than enough about turmeric, but when a spice is this powerful it needs to be mentioned again. Turmeric is the best dietary source of a potent antioxidant called Curcumin (which also makes the turmeric that beautiful yellow colour).

Curcumin is also a powerful antiinflammatory, and it has been shown to be protective against certain forms of cancer progression in preliminary research. Curcumin is also showing promise in alleviating cognitive decline associated with aging, improving heart health by decreasing cholesterol and plaque levels in arteries, and by both reducing the risk of developing diabetes and treating the side effects associated with the disease.

Turmeric on its own has poor bioavailability, so you do need to crack some black pepper into your mix if you are going to take the powder.

Alternatively ask the helpful ladies at Lifestyle Health to identify a suitable supplement for you.

2.Rosemary

Full disclosure, Rosemary may be my favourite herb in terms of both fragrance and flavour. Rosemary is one of the richest sources of another potent compound called Rosmarinic Acid.

Rosmarinic acid is another anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory, it may protect against some forms of cancer, and interestingly enough it can be absorbed across the skin if put into an ethanol base – future skin cancer therapy perhaps?

Rosmarinic acid has also been shown to suppress the allergic response in both animal and human studies, and further research is being done in this area.

3.Oregano

Oregano exerts a number of interesting health benefits. Firstly, Oregano is another rich source of Rosmarinic acid and so exerts antiinflammatory and antioxidant activity.

The oil of Oregano exerts antibacterial activity. Oregano oil has been used to prevent food spoilage and increase the shelf life of food products, and has been suggested as an immune booster and anti-infective agent in humans. There has been one human study showing significant benefit in terms of fighting intestinal infection, however more research is needed.

Traditionally, Oregano leaves have been taken with a meal as a digestive aid. Oregano leaf contains an active component called thymol (of a similar in structure to menthol, found in peppermint), which is known to relax the throat and stomach. You can enjoy an Oregano tea steeping 15g of Oregano leaves in 250ml of water.

studies all showing the same results.

This effect does also apply to motion sickness as well as chemotherapy induced nausea.

Final Thoughts

We know that herbs and spices enhance the flavour, aroma, and colour of food and beverages, but they can also protect people from both acute and chronic disease. Many of the compounds contained in herbs and spices have very high biological activity and are being used in preclinical, clinical, and therapeutic trials investigating new treatment options.

Therefore it is possible that in the future new spice- or herb-based drugs may be developed. Wouldn’t that be incredible?

Other uses for ginger include as a:

•Anti-inflammatory (reducing markers of inflammation, decreasing muscle soreness and alleviating menstrual pain) •Digestive aid (by increasing gastric emptying) •Testosterone booster (increasing total testosterone by up to 17% in one study) •Colon cancer preventative (through the antioxidant capacity) •Heart health booster (with decreased triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL, and increased HDL), •Memory booster (currently only shown in older women) For most uses of ginger, typically a dose of 1-3g daily is recommended.

For more information on any of these products and expert advice, please visit Lifestyle Health, Shop 24A, Lifestyle Shopping Centre, Ballito 032 946 0441.

4.Garlic

Garlic has a long list of medicinal properties. If you do not have an intolerance to it, ideally you want to be taking a supplement or eating fresh garlic daily. Garlic has been shown to benefit cardiovascular health, physical and sexual vitality, cognition, and resistance to infection. Allow me to elaborate below.

In terms of heart health, ingestion of raw or aged garlic reliably reduces total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, whilst increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Garlic ingestion also leads to relaxation of the blood vessels (via a quite complex hydrogen sulphide signalling system), which helps improve blood pressure and blood flow. Garlic also appears to mildly reduce triglyceride levels.

Garlic ingestion has also been associated with significantly reduced risk of prostate, colon, and stomach cancer through the hydrogen sulphide signalling system mentioned above.

This association has been found where intake is 10g of garlic or more per day, where the average clove of garlic is about 3g. This means at least 3 cloves daily. Tip: chew parsley after ingesting garlic to neutralize the garlic breath.

Did you know that ginger also contains small amounts of curcumin, the antioxidant in turmeric? It is not a rich source but it does add to the repertoire of this amazing root. The most commonly known use of ginger is to pregnant ladies as reliable and fairly effective anti-nausea treatment, with 11

I Everyone,

This is the time of year when everyone looks at their finances and decides what they should be cutting back on or pumping more money into. I’ve had a few people asking me about contractual rental agreements with regard to commercial properties. For instance a rented space in a shopping mall that you feel is just not seeing the returns that you expected. You want to pull out, but have signed a contract for a certain period of time. I had a chat with Veronica O’Dwyer from Wiesinger O’Dwyer Inc. about the pitfalls of terminating a commercial contract. Thanks to Veronica for her succinct feedback: The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) applies to a commercial lease only when the company’s annual turnover is less than R2,000,000.

The common law principle in relation to the law of contract ensures that the parties have a right to contract freely. The Consumer or Lessee can cancel a lease agreement by giving the supplier 20 business days’ notice in writing.

Section 14 (3) (1) (a) and (b) of the act states that the consumer (lessee) will be liable for any amounts owed up to the date of cancellation, and the service provider (lessor) can impose a reasonable cancellation penalty on the consumer if the agreement is not met.

The lessee will be liable for all amounts owed under the lease up to the date of cancellation, and may be obliged to pay a penalty, which could be the lost rental and other charges. This amount must be reasonable.

ur little StyleMe Whizz Kid, Daniyel Berry is back in time to give you a great booster for the month of love! Dan understands that we may all still be a little over weight after indulging excessively during the Festive Season. This is her take on how to embrace Style & feel Confident in your Plus-sized body!

Don’t wait to lose weight to look great Having a great sense of style has nothing to do with your size. Buy fabulous items which fit you now. Clothing can always be altered to fit if you become smaller.

Dress for your body shape, not your size.

The way your clothing fits is imperative. Look for clothing that shapes and contours your body.

Emphasize your assets and disguise the parts you’re less proud of.

Don’t be afraid to embrace fashion trends Pick out 5 new items for the season. It could be a new colour, print, an earring or necklace which is on trend. A new bag in a pop of colour is also fab! Work these into your investment wardrobe to create an updated look.

Wear clothing which skims your body Opt for well-made clothing which is not too tight. Darts & panel lines create an illusion of shape. Stay away from garments which look like giant smocks, they are not flattering at all & will only make you feel larger.

Follow a Plus-size style blogger for inspiration You will find outfit ideas & discover new places to shop. It’s wonderful to share experiences & be part of a community who understands where you’re coming from.

Remember, Body confidence doesn’t come from trying to achieve the ‘perfect’ body. It comes from embracing the one you’ve already got!

Small steps lead into big steps, hour hikes to day hikes and, before you know it, you are tackling the multi day hikes Remember - Safety First.

MANGO SALAD RECIPE

This is our absolute favorite fresh and tasty salad for those balmy summer days. A delicious accompaniment to curry, seafood or even just on its own, it's a super simple way to make the most of the glorious juicy mango which just so happens to be in season at the moment.

So her it goes....

For the salad: 3 medium to large mangoes peeled, and diced 1 tin of chickpeas, strained 1 small to medium red onion, finely diced Juice of half a lemon 2 tsp Mazavaroo or 1 fresh red chili, diced Zest of two limes 60g fresh coriander (destalked)

Pop all of the above ingredients into a big mixing bowl mix them around, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate while you make your pesto...there's really nothing better than a homemade pesto to lift a dish and give that flavoursome garlic and herby kick. It also balances the chilli in this salad beautifully.

For the pesto: 1/2 cup toasted macadamias 250g fresh coriander (washed-don't even worry to destalk here as it's all being blitzed up in the blender anyway) 1 C olive oil 2 cloves of garlic (peeled) 1/2 cup nutritional yeast Salt and Pepper 1. Blend the toasted macadamia nuts until they are roughly the size of peppercorns, you want this bit of texture in the pesto. Set these aside in a mixing bowl.

2. Next place the coriander, olive oil and garlic into the blender and blend until you can no longer see little stalks and you have a herby oil.

3. Place the herby oil mixture into the mixing bowl with the macadamia pieces, add nutritional yeast and salt and pepper, mix well to combine.

4. Taste and if you need to add a bit more oil or seasoning go for it!

5. Remove the salad from the fridge, swirl a tablespoon of macadamia pesto through it. Plate it up and garnish with some fresh coriander, lime zest and edible flowers of your choice. Serve it with the pesto in a little jar or bowl so that your guests can add it as they please.

FORD film car with an anniversary edition of Steve

celebrates the 50th birthday of its most iconic McQueen's Bullitt Mustang

PEUGEOT 208 CONNECTED ENERGY

PEUGEOT 2008 SUV WITH GRIP CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

It’s been 50 years since Detective Frank Bullitt chased mob hitmen through the streets of San Francisco in his Highland Green Ford Mustang - and now you can re-enact the pursuit yourself in this anniversary edition remake.

Ford unveiled the surprise limited-run Bullitt Mustang at the Detroit Motor Show recently to rapturous approval.

Under that familiar green hue is a tuned version of the Ford Mustang GT 5.0-litre engine.

Fire the thunderous engine into life by thumbing the start button and the screen fires a Bullitt welcome message across the digital display.

With a top speed of 263kmh - an increase of 8mph over the standard Mustang - the new model is around 65kmh faster than the Mustang featured in the blockbuster flick. Like the highlycelebrated cinema car, it gets black wheels - this time unique 19inch rims.

Buyers will also have a choice of two paint options between Shadow Black and the authentic Dark Highland Green - we imagine most will be ordered in the latter.
