Superman: jy is tien een die oudste broer of suster en presteerder, so jy is daaraan gewoond om `n voorbeeld te stel en die druk te hanteer wat daarmee saam kom. “You’re ready to save the day”. Jy hou van lojale mense en sien altyd die beste raak in alles, behalwe mense wat van Batman hou.

Batman: Jy hou in die geheim daarvan as Superman seerkry. Jy is `n realis wat daartoe kan neig om partykeer negatief te raak. Jy het al die ergste gesien en dit maak dat jy die lewe van vooraf weer waardeer.

Wonder Woman: Sy beteken eintlik niks vir jou en dit is hoekom jy besluit het op `n vrou uit die Amazone. Soos die Superman aanhangers, sien jy ook die beste raak in alles, maar jy weet mense kan verkeerd wees ook.

Green Lantern: Jy het `n groen broek, dis al rede hoekom jy van die Green Lantern sal hou

Aquaman: Jou gunsteling plek om te wees is in die water, weg van mense en ver weg van jou spanmaats.

Captain America: jy is patrioties, dus lojaal teenoor jou land en staan op vir wat jy glo, asook slim, lojaal en dapper.

Iron man: Jy is baie gewild en hou daarvan as al die superheroes pret saam het en vertrou jou instink. Jy hou van duur goed en geskenke.

Spider man: Spiderman is die “underdrog” van al die superheroes. Jy is sensitief, verantwoordelik, altyd betyds en wil altyd die regte ding doen.

The Hulk: Jy word vasgevang in emosies en dit kan soms lei tot `n uitbarsting en het daarom het jy spasie nodig.

Spiderman of Superman? Watter tipe persoonlikheid is jy?Einde Oktober is Halloween en dit beteken dat baie van ons, ons gunsteling superhero uitrusting aantrek, maar wat beteken jou keuse in jou gunsteling superhero regtig?

An Energy RevolutionA radical approach to Energy is what

drives Specialized Solar Systems (SSS) to seeking alternatives to the current energy status quo.

Over time, the supply of energy has become a pressure point and a constant frustrationfor consumers and their finances.

Worst of all –there seems be no way out... until now.

A team of renewable energy experts at Specialized Solar Systems (SSS) are constantly involved in the training of the unskilled, the unemployed and many other people from all walks of life to fully understand, install and maintain their own alternative energy systems.

SSS is empowering people with the necessary skills to supply and advise on off-grid renewable energyin areas that are too remote for normal grid electrification and making alternative energy supply to the masses a reality.

With SSS’s intelligentenergy design and the use of extremely low voltage in their energy systems, the normal dangers of electrificationare eliminated and the supply and sustainability of energy is passed back into the hands of the people who need it most.

The opportunities and possibilities that energy creates for those who have vision and determination in getting involved in the dispensing of energy are endless. For six years SSS has been anticipating the current change in the energy landscape and is now actively empowering a new generation of energy entrepreneurs to determine their own destiny with renewable energy.

Currently there are also more formalised courses being written to facilitate with learning processes that will be available for schools and FET colleges shortly leading to a formal education in an exciting energy career path.

Relevant now?Every existing home, farm or school etc.

can be viewed with the possibility of saving energy or implementing an alternative energy source.

This could start with the installation of a meter that provides a base line from which you can plan your requirements. Once your energy requirements are accessed an energy system is then designed and installed in incrementalstages to suite your budget. Jonathan Hodgson, CEO of SSS and his dedicated renewable energy team of experts will gladly assist in this process.

For professional advice in helping you to make confident, informed decisions on renewable energy, cutting edge off grid energy supply systems and water pumping solutions please contact SPECIALIZED SOLAR SYSTEMS on 044-8781126 or mail us at info@specializedsolarsystems.co.za .

Toe Bobbi Brown onlangs hul nuwe produkte in Kaapstad bekend gestel het, het die internasionale grimeerkunstenaar Eliano Bou Assi ’n paar goeie wenke met ons gedeel. Eliano is deur Bobbi Brown self opgelei en reis regoor die wêreld om sy grimeerkennis te deel. Hier is ’n paar van sy beste wenke:1. Poeier is nie gemaak om kleur aan jou gesig te gee nie. Dit moet bloot jou onderlaag set. Wend ’n tikkie poeier net aan op dié dele van jou gesig waar jy geneig is om te blink.2. Wanneer jy ’n oogomlyner gebruik, is daar drie belangrike reëls om te onthou:a. Die oogomlyner moet donkerder as die kleur van jou oë wees.b. Wend dit so na moontlik aan jou wimperlyn aan.

c. Die lyn moet dik genoeg wees sodat jy dit sien wanneer jou oë oop is. 3. As jy oogomlyner en oogskadu sáám gebruik, moet een van die produkte ’n neutrale kleur wees. Moenie ’n kleurryke oogskadu saam met ’n kleurryke omlyner gebruik nie. 4. Blosser moet altyd natuurlik op jou wange lyk. As jy ’n ligte veltoon het, gebruik blosser met ’n ligte skakering. Jy kan ’n donkerder skakering gebruik as jy ’n donkerder veltoon het.5. Moenie ’n oogpotlood gebruik om jou wenkbroue in te kleur nie, want dit kan maklik soos ’n tatoeëermerk lyk. Gebruik eerder oogskadu. Die oogskadu moet dieselfde kleur as die wortels van jou hare wees.deur SARIE.com-span

Op jou mooiste: 5 praktiese grimeerwenke Ons wens almal ons kan jonk bly met mooi

gladde velle vir altyd. Ongelukkig stap tyd aan, maar hier is drie dinge waarop jy kan let:Die son

Skadetelling: 9/10

“Selfs al is jy nie geneties geneig om lyntjies en plooie weens sonblootstelling te kry nie, moet jy steeds versigtig wees,” waarsku dr. Daniel Maes, senior vise-president van Estée Lauder: navorsing en ontwikkeling wêreldwyd.

“Al het jou ma ’n goeie vel op 70, beteken dit nie jy kan die son sonder beskerming aandurf nie.”

Dermatoloog Izolda Heydenrych van Kaapstad stem saam: “Ultravioletstrale lei tot die vorming van vry radikale, wat veroudering tot gevolg het.

Die kollageen in jou vel ondergaan kruisverbindings, wat die soepelheid van die vel verminder. Sonskade verlaag ook jou vel se natuurlike weerstand.”

Jou suikertand Skadetelling: 8/10

Jou voorliefde vir soetgoed ís toe een van jou stoutste plesiere! ’n Lus vir lekkernye kan jare by jou voorkoms voeg, glo dr. Maes.“By Estée Lauder het ons ontdek verfynde suikers en geprosesseerde kosse wat baie koringstroop bevat, is nadelig vir jou vel.

Geprosesseerde suikers reageer met die proteïene in jou vel, wat ’n proses genaamd glikosering tot gevolg het.

Dit is die interaksie tussen suiker en kollageen, wat die struktuur van jou vel se kollageen afbreek.”

Volgens Dr. Maes het suikers ook ’n effek op die vel se ensieme wat jou beskerm teen vry radikale. Só word jou selle meer vatbaar vir besoedeling en sonskade.

Stres

Skadetelling: 7/10

Jou vel is soos ’n spieël wat alles weerkaats wat binne jou aangaan – ook wanneer jy gespanne is.

“Jou leefwyse het ’n geweldige invloed op jou vel,” sê dr. Maes. “Spanning bring voortydige veroudering mee en kan jou immuunstelsel aftakel.”

Hy verduidelik daar is twee soorte stres: akute en chroniese stres.

“Akute stres sit inflammatoriese reaksies soos rooiheid aan die gang en dit lei tot voortydige veroudering. Chroniese stres is langdurige spanning wat veroorsaak word as gevolg van situasies soos egskeiding en finansiële probleme.

Dis ernstiger, aangesien dit jou immuunstelsel beïnvloed en jou meer vatbaar maak vir siektes.”(deur Mariska van Rooyen)

Stop die horlosie!

9-15 October was National Nutritional Week to create awareness of the importance of nutritional meals. Healthy eating can stabilize children’s energy, sharpen their minds, and even out their moods. By encouraging healthy eating habits now, you can make a huge impact on your children’s lifelong relationship with food. Top tips to promote healthy childhood eating1.Have regular family meals. Knowing dinner is served at approximately the same time every night and that the entire family will be sitting down together is comforting and enhances appetite.

2. Cook more meals at home. Eating home cooked meals is healthier for the whole family and sets a great example for kids about the importance of food.3. Get kids involved. Children enjoy helping adults to shop for groceries, selecting what goes in their lunch box, and preparing dinner.4. Make a variety of healthy snacks available instead of empty calorie snacks5. Limit portion sizes. Don’t insist your child cleans the plate, and never use food as a reward or bribe.

Why is it important to plan nutritional meals?

So everybody is going on about Low Food Miles. What is the big deal, and why should we be concerned? Food Miles can best be described as the total distance food travels from the grower to your plate, including travel to and from processors and retailers. In days gone by, this never used to be a problem, we as consumers had to make do with whatever the land produced. Eating oranges in the middle of summer? Never! Asparagus in July? Never heard of it!But then if it is available somewhere on the globe, why shouldn’t we indulge? The world is getting smaller after all! Transporting your food long distances involves lorries and aeroplanes. Lorries and aeroplanes use lots of fuel and emit tons of CO2 emissions, contributing to global warming. That’s just the starting point. Other reasons why we should be reducing food miles wherever possible include wanting to eat fresher food, in season; supporting local and regional producers and the economy; and preventing 3rd world countries from cutting down forests and losing their own food, because big companies see food as a commodity, rather as a way to feed the people of that country.That is why we at Meade Café are so passionate about supporting our local farmers, buying what is in season, from farmers we know by name. We believe in local trade, fresh and innovative food choices and putting the best of the Garden Route on your plate. Our Harvest Table that is decked out in Bistro Style between 12pm and 2pm is evident of this. Expect to see sun ripe tomatoes, plump strawberries and the crispiest salad greens and herbs on the menu. Not to mention fresh Ricotta and Mozzarella! Sounds like the best Caprese Salad in town? You bet!

In die inligtigtings era waarin ons leef sien ek dikwels hoe ‘n ‘toevallig-raakgeleesde’ berig of selfs die woorde van ‘n nuusaanbieder mense van innovasie en uitnemendheid ontneem… Besigheidsmense wat só vasgevang word in negatiewe gedagtes oor die politiek en ons ekonomie dat hul hul sukkel-sukkel voortbestaan op allerlei eksterne faktore blameer en eertydse ambisie en drome onder die spreekwoordelike maatemmer wegsteek.

Dit alles, terwyl die mees suksesvolle entrepreneurs jaarliks gebore word vanuit worstelende ekonomieë en veranderende marksomstandighede en hul getuigskrifte in werklikheid uitroep: “DAAR IS GEEN BETER TYD AS NOU NIE!”

Is Entrepreneurskap ‘n persoonlikheidseienskap of ‘n aangeleerde vaardigheid?

Dis ‘n kombinasie. Party mense het ‘n natuurlike instink met handel en onderhandeling en ‘n begrip vir die markte. Vir party is dit ‘n stel vaardighede wat met tyd verkry word.

Ek glo dat die entrepreneursinstink inherent is- dat dit kom van ‘n familiegeskiedenis, vroeë blootstelling aan risiko, dissipline en ‘n ambisieuse geaardheid. Terwyl hierdie instink in elke mens latent is, is mense se opvoeding, konneksies, vroeë swaarkry en toegang tot kapitaal dikwels die broeikas vir entrepreneursvaardigheid.

By NIFLAS het ons ‘n brandende hart vir honger

entrepreneurs en help ons graag kliënte om besigheids vaardighede en vernuf te verbeter. Daarom ook ons entrepreneurs besigheids platform, NIFLAS SILHOUETTE, waar kliënte tot 90% winste produseer oor ‘n periode van 5 jaar. Volgens NIFLAS is ‘n positiewe uitkyk, deeglike beplanning, uitstekende kennis en ‘n aktiewe ‘hands-on’ bestuur die kern tot ‘n suksesvolle entrepreneur en ‘n suksesvolle besigheid.Kontak ons gerus indien u wil hê ons moet u by die hand vat met die skep van persoonlike en besigheids welvaart.

Hulle het ‘n plan opgestel waar hulle moes wys hoe die stroombaan geteken word, aanmekaar gesit word en ‘n voorstelling voor die klas doen om hulle moderne stroombaan voor te stel.

Natuurwetenskap en TegnologieLaerskool Hartenbos se Graad 4 – leerders het in die vak Natuurwetenskap, klank en energie behandel. Hierdie kreatiewe pragstukke is by die skool ontwerp deur die leerders.

Gedurende die derde kwartaal moes leerders ‘n eenvoudige elektriese stroombaan ontwerp en bou. Hier is één van die besonderse projekte deur Robyn Garstman gebou – ‘n volledige haarsalon.

The Grade 6+7 classes of Knysna Primary feed 15 children every day for a whole year!

e’Pap children’s feeding project in Knysna.

The Grade 6 classes became aware of the e’pap feeding scheme 4 years ago when their teachers invited the organisers to come and tell them more about e’pap. This was part of their Life Skills programme. The learners enthusiastically started collecting their tuck change and they have subsequently made an annual donation. Many of the grade 7 learners decided to continue with their efforts and organised small fundraising activities.This year they were again treated to an informative talk and had the opportunity to taste the e’pap themselves. (as pictured below). They handed over their contributions viz R1 105 from the Grade 6’s and R600 from the grade 7’s. An amount of R2 135 raised from selling cupcakes as well as money from the MySchool funds further boosted the total to R3 840!This huge amount will feed 15 children – EVERY school day for a WHOLE year! All those 15 children will start their school day with full tummies. This project will remain a definite on the KPS calendar for the grade 6 classes and will hopefully grow from strength to strength.

Little Elephants se kleuters neem deel aan die jaarlikse Lente Pretloop.

Rugby U/12 Provincial StarsKnysna Primary School is proud of Reece Pedro, Thando Waxa and Liyema Matyolweni for being part of the SWD U/12Rugby side that took part in the Annual Coastal Rugby Tournament that was held in Riversdal over the September holidays. The team played matches against Western Province, Eastern Province, Boland and Border.

Well-rootedNational Arbour Week was celebrated at Little Elephants Pp School (feeder school to KPS) early in September.The staff of Conrad Pezula donated seven indigenous trees and Cutting Edge Landscapes visted the school early in the morning to dig holes and to donate bone meal. Spring was definitely in the air!We at KPS, salute our boytjies for their hard work and dedication and are looking forward to next season.

Knysna Sport SchoolAnother year has almost successfully negotiated and once again so much to be so grateful for in getting our ‘job’ done’. The support we enjoy from so many, in whatever shape or size, is invaluable to our success and we are most grateful to you all.To the Development Trust and its trustees, Colin Mathiesen, Leslie Pieters, Suzi Giliomee, Chick Ramsay, Lyn Houghton, Rob Clark and Hans Tollenaar, without you and the support that we enjoy from each and every donor, we would be nowhere today with our efforts to provide sport-related opportunities for our youngsters.We would like to single out the efforts and support of the Rotary Club of Knysna, who have been our biggest benefactors by far. You have enabled us to take our Development Sports Program to new heights, to reach so many more children and to establish our cycling program as an impressive effort and one that we are extremely proud of.The generous donations and input (money, time, expertise and/or sport equipment) from fellow Knysna people like you, provide the moral support needed to continue our Sport School’s Mission:“To promote sportsmanship, fellowship and self-respect among children in Knysna through the medium of a healthy sporting ethos and environment, and the development of their skills in their chosen sport.”

AWSUM!
