This past Thursday, I was fortunate enough to be invited to tag along on The Cape Leopard Trust's hike to Lion's Head with the Hoofweg Primary School, one of the eco-schools from Wesbank. As a Communications intern, I was thrilled to be able to take part in conservation efforts that extend beyond the office. Hadley Lyners, Environmental Educator for the CLT and leader of the hike, expressed to me that the majority of these students have to deal with daily issues of poverty, environmental degradation, gangsterism and drugs. They rarely get the opportunity to explore a place as beautiful as Table Mountain National Park.
I was also accompanied by Nicole le Roux, who provides support for the education team and was also on her first hike with the group. The excitement on the students' faces when we met them at the trailhead was unforgettable. We started off with some brief introductions and had each student tell us something that they love; responses ranged from playing sports to speaking Afrikaans. Then we set off on a light stroll up the mountain where Hadley frequently paused to teach the kids about plants, geology, and wildlife, and to let them get a good look at their surroundings with a pair of binoculars.
As we continued to ascend the mountain, the trail gradually became more difficult and, as the students ran by me leaping over rocks and flowers without hesitation, I quickly discovered that I am terribly out of shape! I was also reminded of a quote from Disney's Alice in Wonderland, "Curiosity often leads to trouble." Let's just say some of the kids were a little too curious and excited, running ahead to see what else there was to explore. As heartwarming as it was to see their enthusiasm for being out in nature, we had to remind them that safety comes first when you are on a mountain.
The scenery throughout our hike was unmatched by anything I have experienced so far in this beautiful country. Daisies and all different coloured flowers dotted the grasses along the trail, drawing your eye to the silhouettes of the far off mountain ranges and the vast ocean behind them. Students discovered some cool rock caves to explore and even managed to catch a black girdled lizard. Hadley held the critter out for everyone to see and explained a little bit about it and why we should let animals roam around freely, when suddenly the lizard hurled itself right at me! I'm not sure whether it was the kids' screams or the lizard flying towards my face that frightened me more. Either way it was quite the moment to remember.
The last leg of the hike proved to be a very steep climb, but with Hadley's help, the students navigated it with ease. Some of the boys even had to help me! But the view from the top of Lion's Head proved to be worth every minute of it. It was there that our group took a long rest on the rocks, sharing snacks, taking pictures, and checking off all the plant and animal life we saw on the fact sheet Hadley provided us with. Hadley made me try some biltong for the first time as well while we waited to regroup. I'm not one for beef jerky, but this was surprisingly tasty!
Just before we began our descent, one of the boys pointed out a bird soaring by in the distance that he had seen earlier. It turned out this was the last black eagle left on Table Mountain. Moments like this are what solidify my belief that we should be educating kids about the importance of the environment and wildlife so that they grow up with an appreciation and adoration for our earth's most precious and quickly vanishing wonders. Hopefully, by allowing these students to experience nature with us, they too will want to save it. Now if I could get paid to go on a hike like this one every day, I might have to change career paths! Until next time...
Stay happy and wild,

Title: The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet
Author: Erin Dionne
Author: Erin Dionne
Publisher: Dial
Release Date: January 7, 2010
Release Date: January 7, 2010
Received from:1 ARC Tours
To die or not to die of utter mortification . . .
Hamlet Kennedy just wants to be your average, happy, vanilla eighth grader. But with Shakespearean scholar parents who dress in Elizabethan regalia and generally go about in public as if it were the sixteenth century, that's not terribly easy. It gets worse when they decide that Hamlet's genius seven year-old sister will attend middle school with her— and even worse when the Shakespeare project is announced and her sister is named the new math tutor. By the time an in-class recitation reveals that our heroine is an extraordinary Shakespearean actress, Hamlet can no longer hide from the fact that she—like her family—is anything but average.
This was a really cute book by a newer author, her other book, a YA book "Models don't eat chocolate cookies" has already come out so check that out while you are waiting for this!
This is a middle grade book but it still kept me interested. While some of the "problems" seemed juvenile, but once I thought about it from a a 13 year old's view I really enjoyed it. Hamlet is really cute and the horrors of having a genius for a little sister, and crazy parents was painted well. The character interactions were really good, as was the plot and I cannot wait to see more from Erin and Hamlet!
The only problem I had was that I felt the the ending could have been a little better it was kind of drawn out, and I just kept waiting for the conclusion. But overall a good book.

Dog Days
Time to go OUT!
Winter is my favorite time...with long days spent in the house with the spinning wheel, crochet hook and an occasional knitting project. During these days there's always a quiet spaniel at my feet or on a rug or couch nearby. And most of the time even the crazy Labrador is curled up sleeping the cold days away, after his long morning walk in the cold, cold world. When I sit with a book a big black cat crawls into my lap, even if the sleeping spaniel is still nearby.
Winter days take on a calmer feel. It seems like the days will stretch on forever, even though at the back of my mind I know that soon I'll be as busy as ever. And I'm busy now, with hauling water to rabbits, shearing when it's warm enough, keeping the spinning wheel bobbins filling so I'll have something to sell in the spring.... But with winter's chill I feel calmer about it all...I know that somehow it will all get done. And if it doesn't I don't mind.
Easter Egg Dyed Yarn
Every morning TJ and I get out for a walk...oh, so early! If it is warm enough. This week we've been walking alone. Bentley is at puppy camp and Kym is vacationing. It will be good to see them back next week. Then I take Lily for a shorter walk. She's gotten a bit stiff in the joints and doesn't seem able to take the cold or the distance of our morning jaunts. Then I take George out for Dad...he's not my dog but he's been staying inside because of the cold. If I'm not the one to take him out I AM the one to clean up the messes!
TJ is learning manners at last, so at least once a day we do some obedience work. He's very reliable on sit, if nothing happens to distract him! We've also done a lot of work on how to walk on the leash. I haven't fallen into any more holes (running into a tree in the dark was my fault, not TJ's).
The dogs are a big part of my life. Lily, especially, is the dog that is always with me, except when I'm at work. And sometimes when I'm just checking emails and fooling with the computer she's here with me as well. TJ likes to keep Lily and me in range, although he seems content with less attention. Lily is his boss, after all.
There are three dogs that have been visiting the farm lately. And another big red hunting dog that runs through once in awhile. He's skittish, and also purposeful as he heads up and down the road. He has a plan. The other three dogs are more leisurely. Two of them, collie types, are very friendly and will stop in to visit if I'm outside or at the shop. The third is a spaniel and won't come to me.
I don't know who these dogs belong to. They seem to be well-fed and have the required shots and licenses. They are nice, friendly dogs, but they are dogs. Yesterday I had to rescue my very old and almost deaf cat from them. I dont' think they really meant any harm. The cat wouldn't agree with me, though.
I keep my dogs home and close to me mostly because I enjoy their company. They seem to like being with me ok, too. I'm not quite sure I understand why someone would let these nice dogs just roam the roads. Good thing I already have all the dogs I can manage!

Jon Mathieu
In the 1700s, Jean-Jacques Rousseau celebrated the Alps as the quintessence of the triumph of nature over the "horrors" of civilization. Now available in English, History of the Alps, 1500-1900: Environment, Development, and Society provides a precise history of one of the greatest mountain range systems in the world. Jon Mathieu's work disproves a number of commonly held notions about the Alps, positioning them as neither an inversion of lowland society nor a world apart with respect to Europe. Mathieu's broad historical portrait addresses both the economic and sociopolitical—exploring the relationship between population levels, development, and the Alpine environment, as well as the complex links between agrarian structure, society, and the development of modern civilization. More detailed analysis examines the relationship between various agrarian structures and shifting political configurations, several aspects of family history between the late Middle Ages and the turn of the twentieth century, and exploration of the Savoy, Grisons, and Carinthia regions.
Jon Mathieu is Professor of History at the University of Lucerne, founding director of the Institute of Alpine History at the University of Lugano (Università della Svizzera Italiana). Matthew Vester is Associate professor in the Department of History at West Virginia University.
"...Mathieu has done Alpine studies an immense service, collecting an expansive body of research long divided along national, linguistic, and disciplinary lines. As Mathieu accurately states, 'Quantitative history is sorely missing from Alpine research,' and this slim volume provides a very valuable resource for scholars who wish to redress this lacuna."
"Mathieu's book demolishes widespread cliches about the Alps, which seek to portray the Alpine region as the complete reversal of society in lowland areas, or as a world segregated from the rest of Europe."

Star Pest Control offers silverfish removal services for both residential and commercial buildings to customers throughout Surrey and the surrounding areas. All of our Surrey pest control services are performed by our highly trained, knowledgeable, and experienced team of pest control professionals.
How to Get Rid of Silverfish?
Since silverfish like to hide in dark, protected places and are able to reproduce very quickly, getting rid of them is no easy task. Silverfish are also nocturnal, which means that an infestation may go unnoticed for a long period of time. By the time you begin to detect cast skins, tiny pepper-like feces, or feeding damage, the infestation will already be well established. While most DIY extermination attempts often lead to failure, causing repeated attempts, hiring a Surrey pest control professional to take care of the extermination process will help ensure that the job is done right the first time around.
Silverfish Extermination
Silverfish extermination is a combination of preventative measures and using the right type of chemicals to kill the infestation. While homeowners try to use DIY methods for exterminating silverfish, a lot of store bought products can leave a visible residue that might not be safe for people or animals. The safest way to remove silverfish is to hire a Surrey pest control professional to take care of the problem, as they will know the best way to eliminate the infestation without causing harm to people or animals.
Silverfish Prevention in Surrey
Since water is the key element for silverfish survival, it is important to take preventative measures, such as investing in dehumidifiers and fans, to reduce the humidity in your Surrey home or office. Maintaining high levels of sanitation by regularly sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming can also help prevent a silverfish infestation.
Silverfish Removal Services from Star Pest Control
If you are living in the Surrey area and have a silverfish infestation in your home or office, contact the Surrey pest control professionals at Star Pest Control today. No matter the size of the infestation, there is no job too big or too small for our team.

We are piloting the use of the Sports Houses within the academic side of the school with Year 7s this year. This is a new development for us here at Sprowston and we are looking to embed Sports Houses further as the year progresses.
We have four Houses: Chiefs, Giants, Tornadoes and Vikings, and the awards given each term will also follow the PE assessment approach of Heads, Heart and Hands.
For the Autumn term their scores have all been tallied up for the most progress against targets (Heads), the highest Attendance and/or Attitude to Learning Scores (Heart) and the highest Achievement Points minus Behaviour Points (Hands).
In this first term it is the Vikings who have taken the Progress and Achievement lead, whilst the Giants have proven to be all-heart scoring the Highest Attitude to Learning. Awards were given out at the Year 7 Christmas assembly.
Well done to the all concerned and maybe the Giants and Tornadoes can take the awards away next time.
Mr Parker, Mr Setchell and Mr Panayi

MANCHESTER—Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich blasted Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney for suggesting in a Sunday morning debate that those who need to win an elected office to pay their bills shouldn't run.
At a town hall meeting for Hispanic voters at a Mexican restaurant, Gingrich said Romney's comment was "very much the opposite of the American tradition historically."
At a Sunday morning debate sponsored by NBC and Facebook, Romney relayed a story about advice he'd received from his father, who told him you should never run for office if you need to win to pay the mortgage.
The anecdote was meant to show that Romney is an outsider who hasn't spent his entire life in politics. But it also served as a reminder of his personal wealth.
"We want everyday, normal people to be able to run for office, not just millionaires," Gingrich said. "I think it's really important that we find a way to get back to making it possible for everyday, middle class candidates to go out and run for office and have a reasonable chance of winning."
The unusual campaign stop brought an especially heavy crush of media and a particularly vocal contingent of Occupy Wall Street protesters, who banged drums—and sometimes the restaurant windows—as Gingrich spoke.
Gingrich was introduced by New Hampshire state Rep. Carlos Gonzalez (R)—the first Latino elected official in the state—and his daughter, who briefly addressed the crowd in Spanish.
"I'm here because we really believe that we have an opportunity to pull together people of all backgrounds," Gingrich said. "We particularly wanted to reach out to the Latino community, but also frankly, to all ethnic communities…It's very important for us to make a case that we are in favor of many people, from many places, having the opportunity to become Americans—that this is truly a land of opportunity."
Gingrich has distinguished himself in the Republican field through his more moderate stand on immigration and his aggressive outreach to immigrant communities. His campaign distributed Spanish-language fliers and buttons at the event. One glossy card, available in both Spanish and English, offered "10 reasons why Latinos should support Newt Gingrich for president."
Among the reasons, "Latinos owe Obama nothing" and "Newt Gingrich has a record of Hispanic inclusion."
Gingrich told the crowd that he favors modernizing the process for obtain temporary visas to visit the United States, as well as a more robust guest worker program. He said he would like to secure the border and said the United States has a "moral obligation" to help Mexico fight drug traffickers largely funded by U.S. money.
He said he favors allowing young people who have been brought to the United States illegally to become citizens if they serve in the United States military, one piece of the so-called Dream Act backed by many Democrats. (He said he did not support another part of the act, which would also provide a path to citizenship for those who attend college.)
And he repeated a plan that has come under intense fire from Republican opponents to establish local review boards to determine whether some longtime illegal immigrants who have paid taxes and established ties to their communities could obtain legal residency.
"My goal is very straightforward: We have to end a period of having people in the shadows. It's bad for the country. It's bad for the people," Gingrich said.
He said Americans want a solution to the immigration issue that does not demand tearing up families. "The American people aren't heartless," Gingrich said in a line that echoed a state from Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), who apologized after suggesting in a debate that those who opposed his home state's program of offering in-state tuition to some children brought into the country illegally lacked compassion.

Rubbish The Rubbish Food And Embrace A Healthy Lifestyle
Diabetes is a major health challenge, particularly in a developing country like India. Yet, we seem to be closing our eyes to this silent killer. Increasingly, younger people, including children, are developing diabetes, with the potential to cause serious complications that can derail lives and overwhelm health care budgets.
With India being at the threshold of an outbreak of obesity, insulin resistance syndrome and type-2 diabetes in children and adolescents, it is of immediate importance that we focus on the primary prevention of obesity and inculcation of healthy diet/ life style practices be started from infancy. Children/adolescents (especially those residing in urban areas) are at an increased risk for development of early onset of type-2 diabetes and coronary heart disease, more so due to nutritional westernization and sedentary life styles.
Similar sentiments were expressed by Dr Martin Silink, president of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). He lamented that schools were not encouraging sports and that computers were overtaking the play fields. He wished that people would go back to the sensible living of yesteryears and make the children rubbish the junk food and their sedentary life style. They need to walk/ cycle/ run/ play, rather sit for long hours before the television/ computers. Otherwise diabetes and other non communicable diseases will subvert the gains of economic development in India. He also advocated the concept of 'health screening' of children at the school level. Singapore is already doing this and so is Japan, which is witnessing an unprecedented increase of type-2 diabetes in children.
The aim of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) is to alleviate human suffering related to diabetes by focusing on prevention and care right from womb to adulthood. The ultimate aim is to encourage governments, policy makers and funding bodies worldwide to prioritize prevention and care. If appropriate public health action is not taken, disability and premature deaths from heart disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic heart disease will grow by more than 21% in Southeast Asia over the next 10 years.
The theme of the World Diabetes Day (WDD) for 2009-2013 is "Diabetes education and prevention." The World Diabetes Day (WDD) campaign is led by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and its member associations. The WDD campaign calls on all those responsible for diabetes care to understand diabetes and take control. For people with diabetes, this is a message about empowerment through education. For governments, it is a call to implement effective strategies and policies for the prevention and management of diabetes to safeguard the health of their citizens with and at risk of diabetes. For healthcare professionals, it is a call to improve knowledge so that evidence-based recommendations are put into practice. For the general public, it is a call to understand the serious impact of diabetes and know, where possible, how to avoid or delay diabetes and its complications.
The World Diabetes Day (WDD) campaign slogan for 2009 is "Understand Diabetes and Take Control". Diabetes is difficult. The disease imposes life-long demands on the 250 million people now living with diabetes and their families. People with diabetes must deliver 95% of their own care, so it is of paramount importance that they receive ongoing, high-quality diabetes education that is tailored to their needs and delivered by skilled health professionals. In addition, IDF estimates that over 300 million people worldwide are at risk for type 2 diabetes.Type 2 diabetes can be prevented in the many cases by helping and encouraging those at risk to maintain a healthy weight and take regular exercise.
India's former union health minister, Dr Anbumani Ramadoss, voiced similar concerns. He was emphatic that the aim of policies on health promotion should be to stimulate health awareness and to promote conditions which favored positive health. He was of the opinion that food labeling should become mandatory in India, wherein all packaged food have to contain information about weight, and the nutritive/caloric value of the ingredients used. He emphasized that the threat from junk food should be taken seriously and that schools should ensure that no junk food—from pizzas to 'samosas' - is sold in school canteens, to create a facilitating environment for the students. He also underlined the importance of teaching Yoga compulsorily to school children, as it had proven beneficial effects on one's physical and mental health.
Health initiatives taken at the family and community level will have the potential to snowball into a major health movement, which is indeed the need of the hour.
The role of parents, community, schools and teachers in contributing to the health of a nation is of paramount importance.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General's Awardee (2005) Professor (Dr) Rama Kant who heads the Diabetic-Foot Care clinic in Department of Surgery, CSM Medical University, Lucknow, is of the opinion that the role of family and community will determine which way we want to proceed: the sweet path leading to bitter results or a healthy lifestyle. According to him, glucose monitoring in type-1 diabetes (a metabolic disorder in which the body produces insufficient insulin), requires constant family support. Type-2 diabetes is linked to obesity which in turn is linked to modern lifestyle changes. Parents are overworked and find it convenient to let their children feed on fast foods from an early age. High burden of school work, craze for the internet and lack of appropriate play areas in schools and around homes makes it difficult for them to remain active. Keeping this in mind, Prof Rama Kant is currently running the diabetes education project called 'MARG' (path), in many schools of Lucknow, with a view to prevent obesity and diabetes through healthy eating and active living.
According to Dr Samlee Plianbangchang, the regional director of WHO's South East Asian Regional Office (SEARO), one should not live to eat but eat to live. His simple mantra to avoid diabetes is to eat a proper diet ('no gulabjamuns, please' he said jokingly) and do regular exercise. He quoted himself as an example of bringing down his blood sugar levels simply by leading a disciplined life. He wanted the media to play a major role in advocating awareness about the benefits of a balanced diet and wished that the 'anti cola drive' should not lose its fizz and should be carried forward.
So the message is loud and clear. The prevention programme for diabetes and other non communicable diseases should start from the time of conception of the child in the womb. The pregnant mother should take all precautions to avoid gestational diabetes by managing her diet and physical activity. Once the child is born, proper food habits and tastes need to be developed in her/him right from infancy. Parents have to realize that feeding the toddler on coca colas and burgers is not a fashion statement. Rather, it is a diseased statement.
Television viewing and playing games on the internet should be drastically controlled, as this not only curtails the much needed physical activity, but also exposes young minds to the negative impact of junk food advertisements.
The proverbial seven to eight hours of sleep everyday are also very important. Recent studies have shown that insufficient sleep may trigger insulin resistance and reduced glucose tolerance.
So, when the unhealthy aspects of modern life styles are combined with reduced sleep duration, this might contribute to the increased risk of many overweight and sedentary individuals developing diabetes.
Only when we are healthy in mind and body, can we truly be called progressive as a nation.

Every one says daibates is bad. normal diabetes is due to insulin manufacturing defect of the body that can be rectified thru insulin inputs with care.Type-2 is due solely to junk food the rich food of the rich people.These the educated feed on these foods and become obese and cry they are fat. Diabetes is fear some disease and one can live with it provided one live with care- but how long ? a little careslless attitude and you are done for and look at cost and the regulated life style.DiabetesReplyDelete
can be fearsome when one gets further compliacations like cardiac problems etc. Why get into it in the first place?? Why cannot we live like old times walk and talk healthy and go for runs or play games ? NO these are old things rather the chidren would like to sit and watch TV feeding on odd things , become obese and try many methods to loose weight and talk about it with others in a fashionable way .The poor ape the rich but not well and get into trouble with obesity and diabetes etc and die becasue they cannot regulate their lives as well. We top in diabetes and cardiac problems in the world .Efforts are made feebly by the government that have no commitment.
Well there is only way in arresting the trend.The govt should step in commitedly at the school stage itself and chalk out programmes with lot of information and force the schools to adopt the programs with funds with punishment if not implemented like closure and denail of govt funds. The tobacco problems are known to public and children do not permit their parents to smoke at home - rather they do at panwala shops and other non public places. Like wise the govt must step in effectively in urban and more so in rular areas. God bless India if only we stop aping the bad things of the West .

"I was the laughingstock at the Capitol."
The Colorado Statesman's recent cover kicking off the start of the legislative session was talked about widely in the Capitol, but there was one person who really didn't like it: House Minority Leader Mark Waller.
Waller, R-Colorado Springs, was depicted in a cartoon by Matt Milner along with other legislative leaders in football gear, and as a Republican now in the minority, his team was shown as the frustrated losers. But only Waller was depicted as nearly cross-eyed while falling to the field.
He didn't like the cartoon, and he let Statesman publisher Jody Hope Strogoff know it.
"So when Rep. Waller telephoned last week and began with, 'I suppose you know why I'm calling…,' in all truthfulness I didn't have a clue," Strogoff wrote in an editorial about the aftershock of the cartoon.
Strogoff said she thought Waller was calling to get a copy of the photo the newspaper had run of Waller and his daughter on opening day of the legislature, a common request from lawmakers.
