Health & Wellbeing Pollen not the biggest culprit behind SA’s hayfever woes It’s the height of the hayfever season. Hayfever is a condition that affects approximately 30% of South Africans, but pollen might not be the main culprit behind your nasal allergy misery. For decades, hayfever sufferers have been led to believe that their condition is brought on by the amount of pollen in the air, but there are a host of other triggers too. Pollen could in many cases elicit a severe allergic reaction, but sufferers will be surprised to learn that their nasal allergies might not have anything to do with pollen spores. Pinpointing where and when an allergy occurs is vital. Even though the treatment might be the same in many cases, avoiding the source is a crucial part of tackling an allergy, and this can only be done if the trigger has been identified correctly with a good history and confirmatory tests, such as skin prick tests. Nasal allergy sufferers should see a doctor with skills in allergy to perform a skin prick test or an immunoglobulin (IgE) antibody test, which will help to diagnose an allergy to a specific substance or substances. Since IgE antibodies are unique to each allergen, tests are very good at picking up ‘sensitisation’ or the presence of these antibodies. However, any result must be carefully checked against the patient’s history, as some people might have antibodies that are not related to any of the symptoms. Doing the test is important, because it might just uncover an allergy that you knew nothing about and by avoiding it, could significantly reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Importantly, if you are not ‘sensitised’ to an allergen, avoiding it will make no difference whatsoever. Hayfever symptoms vary from person to person, but typically include an itchy, runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, scratchy throat, postnasal drip and/or fatigue. In general, there is a huge misconception that if someone sneezes a lot, they must have pollen-induced hayfever, when it could be due to many other allergens such as dust mites, pets or cockroaches. The most commonly inhaled allergens are:
• different types of pollen (from trees, grass, weeds and flowers) • house dust mite • cat and dog dander • cockroaches • fungal spores Other triggers that could worsen symptoms include: • Strong perfumes and cold air can trigger nasal symptoms by nonallergic mechanisms • Red wine – alcohol is a vasodilator, which widens your blood vessels and can cause a runny or stuffy nose, but wine in particular can exacerbate symptoms because it contains sulphites. Red wine is highest in sulphites and is fermented with grape skins, which contain a protein allergen. • Veggie drawer – some fruits and vegetables contain proteins similar to those found in pollen, which can confuse your immune system. • Swap contact lenses for glasses on high-pollen days since dust and pollen can stick to contact lenses, trapping allergens against your already itchy and irritated eyes. • Swimming in chlorinated pools may irritate your airways, which could aggravate allergy symptoms. • A humidifier is a reservoir for mould and bacteria, so clean it regularly to get the maximum relief from this device. One can treat nasal allergies with antihistamines, which prevent histamine from attaching to your cells and causing symptoms. A decongestant can also be used to reduce the swelling in the nasal passages, but the latter could cause a rebound effect if used for longer than the recommended three to five days, which could end up making you even more congested, so use only as directed.

One of my best Vietnamese experiences was the day we all piled into a long boat and went off down the soupy green Mekong River. We were on our way to the home of a local family for a New Year’s lunch. Our boatman at the back kept saying, “Okay ladies, little bit to the left, little bit to the right. Forwards! Backwards!” We had to keep the boat balanced because, trust me, the last thing we wanted was to capsize into that water! The river is the lifeblood of the people who live along its banks. We saw an old lady plucking a chicken, washing and rinsing it; a bit further downstream was a man bathing his dog; then there were people doing the dishes and washing their clothes; and finally someone with his bum perched out over the water! The locals obviously have to boil every drop of that water and filter it for drinking. We eventually made it to our destination, scrambling and digging our way up the bank to the home of our hosts, where we received a wonderful warm welcome from the family and their neighbours. The table was beautifully set and I can’t even begin to describe the wonderful aromas – star anise, hints of ginger, garlic. There were bowls brimming with enticing ingredients: flaked brisket, slow-braised with lots and lots of love; the fattest plump pink prawns; fresh mint, coriander, basil and what they call morning glory; water weed, also known as swamp cabbage, which gives lots of texture to the food; slivered cucumber and carrots; and a gorgeous dipping sauce. The idea was that the man of the household would show us how to roll all of this into crystal spring rolls, after which we would make our own. It’s a fabulous idea for
entertaining at home, in any country. As it was New Year, they offered us chrysanthemum wine, a bitter drink with no alcoholic kick. We reciprocated by offering our own New Year wine from Cape Town – one of the women in our group had a bottle of whisky in her bag. Needless to say, it had much more of an effect on them than the chrysanthemum wine had on us! The head man was knocking it back and loving it. After quite a few shots, he took some of the spring roll wrappers, which he soaked in a little warm water, laid them out, and proceeded to fill them. While he was doing this, all the attention was on his hands and when I looked down – well! – I have never seen such filthy, grubby fingers or such black nails. I was heaving deep inside and thinking, “Please don’t let him touch my food, I won’t be able to eat it.” Of course he rolled the most perfect, tight little spring roll and offered it to me. I couldn’t let him lose face and neither could I, so I said, “I am not worthy of this.” So he gave it to a friend sitting next to me – and she didn’t love me for that! He continued to partake of the Cape Town New Year wine for the rest of the meal and when we eventually got down that hill, into the boat and back onto the river, we were telling one another which way to lean to balance the boat. We hadn’t realised that the spring roll man and our boatman were one and the same, and he was no longer in any condition to keep himself or us upright. Spring Rolls can be filled with any type of filling that grabs your fancy – beef, pork, chicken, duck seafood or just all kinds of crunchy veggies.
Of Vietnamese row boats & spring rolls
Prawn Crystal Spring Rolls Serves 6
I learned to make these at the home of a tipsy boatman on the banks of the Mekong River. They are utterly delicious – fresh, crunchy and tasty – and are really easy to make, even though they take a little time to put together. Get someone to give you a hand soaking the rice paper. The trick is to soak one at a time, as they are very delicate, and by the time you have filled one, the next one will be ready to roll with a little help from a friend.
INGREDIENTS Dipping Sauce • ½ cup rice vinegar • ¼ cup boiling water • ½ cup castor sugar • 1 Tbs fish sauce • 2 small chillies, chopped • 1 Tbs chopped fresh coriander • 1 tsp sesame oil • 1Tbs finely-diced fresh cucumber
Spring Rolls • 24 prawns, deveined, lightly steamed and shelled • 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage • 1 large carrot, peeled and thinly julienned • 1 cup freshest bean sprouts • 1 medium English cucumber, julienned • 24 large fresh mint leaves • 24 fresh basil leaves • 12 coriander sprigs • 24 butter lettuce leaves • 12 dried rice paper rounds
METHOD
by Jenny Morris
• Make the dipping sauce first. Place the vinegar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Bring to the boil and let it bubble away for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fish sauce and chillies. Stir in the chopped coriander, sesame oil and diced cucumber when cool and set aside. • To make the spring rolls, place one rice paper at a time in a bowl of warm water to to soften it slightly. Remove to a flat surface and place a little red cabbage, carrot, a few bean sprouts and some cucumber in the centre of the rice paper and top with two fresh mint and basil leaves and a sprig of coriander. Now top with two prawns and a lettuce leaf. If the leaves are too big, trim them to size. • Fold in the sides of the rice paper and gently roll up nice and tight. Do the same with the remaining rounds of rice paper. Pack onto a tray with enough space between them so they don’t stick together, and cover with a damp clean cloth. • When you are ready to serve, slice the rolls in half diagonally, place on a plate and serve with dipping sauce I sometimes make these with shredded duck breast, rare thinly-sliced beef fillet, shredded chicken breasts, or even leave out the meat and go vegetarian. If you can lay your hands on some Vietnamese mint, please add a leaf to your roll.

SHADES OF SUMMER
Lots of teenage guys struggle with breakouts and problem skin. So what to do? Keep your face clean.

Try these Vaseline Men Face Washes, R55.99 each. There’s Deep Cleanse Face Wash to lift off dead and dull skin that blocks your pores and Oil Control Face Wash to remove excess oiliness.
There’s more….. • Keep your fingers off your face! Don’t pick, pop or scratch those blemishes as you’ll just spread them even more. • If you’re shaving, make sure the blades are clean and sharp. • If you’re totally addicted to your phone, keep it away from your face as the contact causes bacteria and oils to build up and you get break outs. Use the speaker button or just text, dude.

Banish the blank: How to manage a mid-exam meltdown As Matrics head to exam halls to write one of the most important examinations they will ever write, some will find themselves in a terrifying situation where they hit that dreaded blank – an inability to recall information despite months of solid preparation and dedicated study. Writing an exam can be a very stressful experience for many learners, even when they were diligent in their revision. Teachers and parents should, as their final act of support before pen is put to paper, empower learners to know what to do should they be confronted with a mental void when they receive their papers. The exam environment can be unfamiliar and daunting. The environment is often a formal one, with rules about where to sit, what you can do, and what you can have with you. It is quite normal to experience exam nerves in an examination venue. However, sometimes students can become so overwhelmed that they cannot remember the material that they have spent many hours reviewing. This can lead them to feel even more panicked and stressed. To avoid runaway nerves, learners should do the following in the minutes before the clock starts: Firstly, when you receive the paper, carefully read through all the instructions and every page of the paper. Then re-read all the instructions. This will give you a sense of what is expected of you. Remind yourself that even if you do forget some details, it is unlikely that you will completely forget everything. Then, while reading through the paper, mark all the questions that you can answer. Start with these questions first. That will give you some confidence and allow your mind some time to process, as well as to start accumulating some marks for the paper. If, despite approaching a paper in this manner, a learner still feels overwhelmed, they can take the following steps in order to gain their equilibrium and confidence. 1. Don’t panic If you feel panicked, take long, slow and deep breaths. Doing this will calm you physically. Getting the physical panic under control is an important step in calming your mind. 2. Calm down Once you have calmed your body, it is time to calm your mind. Give yourself a mental pep-talk by repeating to yourself “I am calm. I have worked hard. I know my work.” You can also give yourself this pep talk while you are taking deep breaths. 3. Get back to business Once you are feeling a bit calmer, go back to the questions that you believed that you could not answer. Try to jot down anything and everything that you can remember about the material. You can always cross this out to indicate that it should not be marked. 4. Visualise If you cannot remember any of the material, try to use some memory tricks to assist you. For example, try to visualise sitting in class when the material was covered, or try to picture yourself in your study area
with your notes in front of you. Often thinking about the context of the material can help you to remember it. 5. Reconstruct your memories If you are able to jot down notes about the material, review these notes and see how the information that you have remembered relates to the question. Try to reformulate your notes into a response to the question that was given to you. 6. Remember the big picture Keep in mind that what you are usually marked on is your ability to answer the question. In the worst case scenario, where you cannot remember a single piece of information from your course material, simply try to answer the question from a common sense perspective. You may find that you do actually know quite a bit about the question and may be awarded some marks for your general knowledge. Doing this may also prompt you to remember the course material. Staying calm is your most important weapon in the exam room, as is keeping a sense of perspective at all times, and endeavouring only to do your best in whichever situation you find yourself. You need to remember that you generally have more than one opportunity to perform in a subject. For example, you may write more than one paper for any one subject, and your year marks also count towards your final mark. If, in the worst case scenario, you do fail the exam papers, and your year marks, you may still have the opportunity to apply to re-write the subject.

Technology
Things to consider when buying your child a cellphone It’s not always an easy choice when considering which gifts to purchase for your child. However, with technology taking centre stage, you probably want to go this route when your shopping commences. Getting the latest affordable ‘tech savvy’ gift for your child will not only keep your child happy, but also ensure that you save. It’s only a matter of time before your child’s best friend comes to school with a shiny new cellphone – and suddenly they arrive at home with a new addition to their Christmas or birthday wish list. They only care about its stylish look, but you are probably more concerned about battery strength, durability and price point. These are the most important things to consider when buying or upgrading your child’s phone. What matters to them: the camera While #selfies and #squadgoals might not mean a lot to you, these are things that make your child tick. They’re confident and tenacious and capturing memories is a primary goal and they will stop at nothing to get their best shot. So, even if you’re not convinced at the importance of it, choosing a phone for your child that, first and foremost, has a good camera is important. Your best bet is to go with a phone that’s been designed with great photo features in mind.
What matters to them: style Kids want to look good, period. A phone that is easy on the eye will go a long way to making them excited about it. But that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. Some entry-level phones are beautiful too.
What matters to them: durability We all know that kids aren’t exactly careful. Look away for ten seconds, and something is probably being dropped. When that’s a phone, it means a pricey and lengthy replacement process. Look for a phone that is hardy and durable with a non-slip grip cover that won’t smash the first time it hits the pavement.
What matters to you: the price Let’s be honest, your child is not going to hold on to a new phone for years and years. They’ll be begging for an upgrade within the next two years – and that’s if they manage not to lose or break it. When choosing a phone for your child, it’s best to go with one that’s good quality for an affordable price.
What matters to you both: battery life We bet that the main reason you’re considering a smartphone for your child is so you can stay in contact with them at all times – and know they are safe while they’re out making memories. This means that battery life is a huge deal for you; you don’t want their battery running out while they’re in the middle of a party. And neither do they. Pick a phone with a long-lasting battery life. The best way to find one of those is to research independent reviews online.
At the end of the day, being clued up on what matters to them is really going to help, as you will have a really hard time getting your child to buy into the idea of a phone if it’s not what they want. Sit down with them and go through these considerations to ensure you’ve thought of every important aspect before you hit the shops.

We all know that every man deserves – or at least fantasises about – having his very own mancave. You know, a space inside or outside of the house which belongs just to him (no girls allowed). Where he can put out his superhero posters and figurines of yesteryear, watch some uninterrupted football games while not sharing his mansized pizza with anyone, and even leave his socks in a little pile if he wants to. Take up this challenge to all mancave owners, and power tool wielding men in general, to do something that will spruce up your space in no time. Enter the raw meranti wood wall complete with rack shelves: the perfect finishing touch to any mancave, with space-saving racks that can be put up against any wall with just a little bit of effort. The nifty shelves, made out of chunky slabs of wood and large industrial-looking hooks, will free up plenty of floor space for that games table. All you need to build your meranti wood wall and a couple of rack shelves is some enthusiasm, the correct tools and materials (as outlined below) and eight, easy steps. Tools: cordless drill and screwdriver, drill bits, measuring tape, spirit level, ladder, jigsaw and paintbrush. Materials (the amount of wood required will depend on the area of wall you want to clad. Our area was 2,4 x 2,4m): Four 22mm x 69mm x 2,4m planks, six 12mm x 94mm x 2,4m planks, six 12mm x 94mm x 1,8m planks, 20 12nm x 144mm x 1,8m planks, four 32mm x 144mm x 1,8m planks, 4 x 30mm self-cutting screws, nailin screws and plugs and 10 rubber-coated hooks. In 8 easy steps, your mancave will look even manlier than it did before, complete with wooden wall and handmade rack shelves. Now invite all your friends over for a braai, notice the disbelief on their faces when they admire your handiwork … and show them how it should be done! 1 Measure and mark where the vertical uprights will go on your wall. Space them evenly to look neat. 2 Use the spirit level to also mark these measurements vertically. 3 Attach the 22mm x 69mm x 2,4m uprights to the wall on marks you’ve made in step 1 using nail-in screws and plugs. 4 On two of the 12mm x 94mm x 1,8m, and two of the 12mm x 144mm x 1,8m planks, mark lengths of 600mm and cut with a jigsaw. 5 Now start attaching the 12mm planks to the uprights with screws.
8 Steps
Randomly use the broad (144mm) and narrow (94mm) planks to create interest. Some of the 2,4m planks will stretch the whole way across, while other times you will add a 600mm plank to a 1,8m plank to make up the 2,4m. 6 Decide where you want to place the shelves and use a spirit level to mark where the hooks should go. Remember to do this only where the uprights are, for the hooks to be secure. 7 Drill pilot holes, and turn the hooks into place. 8 Cut the 32mm x 144mm x 1,8m planks into various lengths (600mm / 800mm / 900mm) and place on the hooks. Top tip: Start cladding from the floor up and use offcut timber as spacers to ensure you space the rows of planks evenly.

POTCHEFSTROOM HIGH SCHOOL FOR BOYS (t) 018 294 5330 (e) pbhs@iafrica.com
Sibling duo make great strides on the green The Maichotla brothers from Potch Boys’ High, with medals and trophies galore, have big dreams of becoming professional golf players. They just have one problem: their parents don’t know yet! The eldest of the two, Thato, is currently in Grade 10, while his brother, Thapelo, is in Grade 9. The duo have been playing golf ever since they were small boys and while their peers dreamt of new technologies and soccer, these brothers just wanted to move on up from the plastic golf clubs to the real McCoy. Their father is also an avid golfer and encouraged
his sons to play the sport as soon as they were out of nappies. Fortunately, participating in tournaments doesn’t hinder their school work or attendance – although they cannot always say the same for their homework, they say tongue-in-cheek. Every afternoon after school, back in their home in Klerksdorp, the clubs are out and golfing is all they do. Both brothers have played for the North West Junior Foundation, with their best game played at the Louis Oosthuizen Academy Tournament in Mossel Bay. Another career highlight was participating in a tournament on the Fish River Course.
Thato and Thapelo are currently rated in the top 30 in North West, but by the end of the year both aim to be in the top 15. “We will definitely make it,” says Thapelo. “At this stage, I am a bit better than my brother and I hope it stays like that, because if my brother becomes a professional, I will not be his caddy!” he jokes. Although Thato replies, “No problem. If my brother becomes professional and I don’t make it, I will carry his bag.” They have another surprise for their parents: as soon as their little sister (4) grows up, they will be carrying on the family legacy by introducing her to the game!
Thapelo and Thato Maichotla.
Soccer Festival The annual College Soccer Festival was hosted at Potchefstroom Boys’ High. For more than ten years, each year, five schools are invited to join the learners of Boys’ High for this event. Botoka Secondary School from Ikageng was the winner of all the major prizes. They won the 0/16 and 0/18 matches. The goal scorer of the day as well as the player of the tournament was also from their school. Both teams of Boys’ High drew their two matches
