From the Scopes Trial to school board controversies in our day,
Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution are portrayed as a refutal
of the very idea of God. With Darwin biographer James Moore, we'll
learn about the world in which Darwin formulated his ideas and how he
took religion seriously.
James Moore is co-author of the biography Darwin: The Life of a
Tormented Evolutionist and The Post Darwin Controversies. He's been
researching and teaching Darwin for more than 30 years in Cambridge,

In the cooler winter months, the daily highs are usually in the low to mid-60s F/17-19 C. High rainfall occurs in winter, especially July and August, when icy northwesterly winds take heavy showers to the Cape Peninsula. Light snowfall can also occur in the mountains during this period. If you're not crazy about beach culture and crowds, the autumn and winter months are good for visiting Cape Town. By Northern Hemisphere standards, the conditions are mild, and rainfall is often followed by warm, sunny days. Expect abrupt weather changes year-round. Fog is one cause: It spills down onto the city from the mountains, leading to sudden temperature drops.
If you're going to walk on Table Mountain or negotiate other hiking trails, always check the weather before you leave. Also take a light backpack with additional clothing (a waterproof, windproof jacket is essential). The weather on top of the mountain is notoriously fickle. When surprised by poor weather, the most important thing to do is take shelter from the wind. Take particular care when standing on exposed, elevated view spots during strong winds.

Love him or hate him, Kanye West will always be himself -- especially when he's burying the hatchet with Jimmy Kimmel.
The 36-year-old Grammy winner appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Wednesday to discuss the feud the two got into a few weeks ago.
It all started with Kimmel's parody of West's recent interview with BBC Radio 1, during which he spoke at length about feeling artistically boxed in and the status of hip-hop as the new rock n' roll. (That's where West's now legendary quote, "I'm the No. 1 rock star on the planet," came from.)
Kimmel, who admitted Wednesday that he'd only seen a few portions of West's viral interview, latched on to the rapper's reference to leather jogging pants, which he says he invented before they became fashionable. For his late-night program on ABC, Kimmel re-enacted that portion of the interview with little kids.
"I wanted to clear this up. I really felt bad about all of this stuff, I did," Kimmel told West. "The main reason I did (the sketch) is because I like to see kids curse ... Most people maybe even think that this is some publicity stunt that we cooked up."
But of course, West doesn't do publicity stunts, "period," he said.
"Everyone out there ... needs to know that I've never done a publicity stunt in my life. Anytime I've went up and spoke my mind, whether it put my career in jeopardy ... it was always what I thought was the truth. I don't follow rules of normal celebrity."
In the end, West explained, Kimmel became a sort of scapegoat for all the other members of the media who've published "bogus" information.
"A combination of me knowing you, but also, me not knowing the person who put a bad headline on the cover of In Touch, I was like, well this is the one person I know," West said. "So I can go and let out everything that I feel about every single bogus weekly cover, every single bogus skit, every single rumor -- everything that people think is OK to treat celebrities like zoo animals, or act like what they're saying is not serious."
West said his frustration admittedly escalated after his initial phone call with Kimmel about the sketch.
"It elevates sometimes," West said. "At a certain point, egos flare up, and we just kind of took it back to high school for a little bit."
For Kimmel, it was odd to be in a feud with West, someone he's gotten to know well enough where he has found himself defending the artist's reputation.
"A lot of times, I think you bring it on yourself, this misunderstanding about you. I don't know if you know this, but a lot of people think you're a jerk," Kimmel told West. "I often, in my own personal conversations, say, 'No, I know this guy, he is not a jerk.'"
Yet to West, likability is apparently immaterial.
"I'm not running for office, I'm just here to make good music," West said. "When I did that interview, I was really vocal about a lot of the things that I've been dealing with over the past 10 years when I was put in the classification of 'just a celebrity.' For me, I'm a creative genius, and there's no other way to word it. I know you're not supposed to say that about yourself, and I say things the wrong way a lot of times, but my intention is always positive. ... I want to help the world."
Kimmel pointed out those sorts of statements are what critics use against West, but to him, "to say that I wasn't a genius, I would be lying to you and to myself."
"I could care less about any of these cameras, in all honesty. All I care about is my family, I care about protecting my girl, protecting my baby, and protecting my ideas and my dreams. That's the reason why I went so crazy," West said. "I'm totally weird, and I'm totally honest, and I'm totally inappropriate sometimes ... I'm just going to give y'all the truth, and y'all going to learn to love it. You're going to love me, you're going to hate me, but I'm going to be me."
And since he was sharing his truth, West told Kimmel that he did find a bit of joy in his profane Twitter spree.
"As I was writing it, there was a frustration I was getting out, but also they were really funny to me. I just thought it was so amazing that I was saying this in real time with my position, because as soon as you're a celebrity you're not allowed to say anything anymore," West said, adding with a laugh, "You should've seen the second set of tweets."
Kimmel responded with a laugh, "Let's save them for next time."

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

Easy Tricks To
Reduce Waste
Photo credit: alexey05/iStock / 360/Getty Images
When you first discover you're pregnant, you soon begin planning for your baby. This includes buying essential supplies, like diapers, and once you're a new mom, you may be surprised at how quickly you and your baby go through your baby shower gifts. It can seem like planning for a new baby isn't very environmentally friendly, but good news — there are a few changes that you can make to lower your impact on the resources of the earth.
Feeding Baby
Breastfeeding is a good choice for many reasons, and reducing waste is one of those. There are no bottles to buy, no formula cans to deal with, and if your baby gets full, you don't have to empty your breasts out into the sink. But even if you're unable to breastfeed (or if you simply don't want to), you can reduce waste in a few ways, like not buying premade formula which requires more packaging, and making small amounts of formula at a time and making more when needed instead of having to throw away what your baby doesn't finish.
Diapering Baby
Diapers are essential, and newborns can go through so many that you'll have a large pile of dirty diapers to throw away in just a short amount of time. Cloth diapering is an obvious choice — nothing goes to the landfill if you use reusable diapers. Some situations are not ideal for cloth, however; but the modern mom can choose from a wide range of options, such as compostable disposable diapers, or a cloth hybrid system with disposable inserts like gDiapers, where you can actually flush the disposable inserts down the toilet by following directions.
Going out with Baby
You can also reduce your carbon footprint by changing the way you and your baby go out and about. Instead of hopping into your personal vehicle, walk if you can (invest in a quality baby carrier, like a Boba 4G, to make carrying her comfortable and easy).

Apple redesigns iconic headphones, $29 EarPods is the result
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Music
Apple has announced that it went back to the drawing board and spent three years redesigning its iconic headphones. The result? EarPods. According to Apple, the EarPods headphones offer a much more natural fit across the board, and the acoustic quality that is typically found in higher-end earphones. The headphones feature a two-grille design, and sit at the edge of your ear canal with the main speaker doing the work. You can get a pair of the new Apple EarPods today for $29, or if you plan on picking up the new iPhone 5, iPod touch, or iPod nano, the EarPods will be included.

I would be thrilled if Dan does have a secret power--and dumps Memphis! That would be good tv!!!!! I still haven't caught the commercial, and the Jokers link is dead.
Whatever you call it, it's a really, reaaaaaally off chance that anything like that will happen. It's a pretty crazy assumption.
With that said ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
if dan does have a choice to deny the veto being use will he vote out memphis or jerry?? tough one.. but i say he'll ditch memphis because he has not kept one agreement w/ anyone in the house. has always manipulated things to his favor.. he knows it will be a tough endurance w/ memphis there so this could be his only chance!
I wonder if Dan is gonna threaten Memphis to keep her. I damn sure wouldnt fight to keep her after the way she flipped her lid on showtime.If Dan threatens Memphis to keep Keesha I would simply NOT tell Dan anything and boot her ass on out the door. I never liked Keesha from the start she was jelious over certain house guest from the start of the season she lie'd about everything even her freaking age.Memphis is his own person, he has to do what is right for him, NOT whats right for Dan or Keesha.Every man for him self. As far as Im concerned Keesha sealed her own fate

The association between nutrition and physical activity knowledge and weight status of primary school educators

The purpose of this study was to investigate primary school educators' health status, knowledge, perceptions and behaviour regarding nutrition and physical activity.Thus, nutrition and physical activity knowledge, attitudes, behaviour and risk factors for the development of non-communicable diseases of 155 educators were assessed in a cross-sectional survey. Height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and random glucose levels were measured. Twenty percent of the sample had normal weight (body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) < 25), 27.7% were overweight (BMI> 25 to < 30) and 52.3% were obese (BMI < 30). Most of the participants were younger than 45 years (54.2%), females 78.1%, resided in urban areas (50.3%), with high blood pressure (> 140/90 mmHg: 50.3%), and were inactive (48.7%) with a high waist circumference (> 82 cm: 57.4%). Educators' nutrition and physical activity knowledge was poor. Sixty-nine percent of educators incorrectly believed that eating starchy foods causes weight gain and only 15% knew that one should eat five or more fruit and/or vegetables per day. Aspects of poor nutritional knowledge, misconceptions regarding actual body weight status, and challenges in changing health behaviours, emerged as issues which need to be addressed among educators. Educators' high risk for developing chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) may impact on educator absenteeism and subsequently on school functioning. The aspects of poor nutrition and physical activity knowledge along with educators' high risk for NCD development may be particularly significant not merely in relation to their personal health but also the learners they teach.
Keywords: body weight, educators, health, knowledge, non-communicable diseases, nutrition, perceptions, physical activity, primary schools, risk factors.
Overweight and obesity impact on the health of populations globally, as they are major risk factors for NCDs such as type-2 diabetes, certain cancers, heart disease and stroke (World Health Organization (WHO), 2008). Furthermore, 80% of NCD deaths are in low- and middle-income countries and it is projected that without intervention, NCD deaths will increase by 17% between 2005 and 2015 (WHO, 2005).
The South African population has not been immune to the onslaught of NCDs and currently has a quadruple burden of disease which includes NCDs, Human Immunosuppressive Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), injury-related deaths and other infectious diseases (Bradshaw, Steyn, Levitt & Nojilana, 2011). However, preventing and managing NCDs in South Africa has been side-lined because of the focus on HIV/AIDS and the high prevalence of tuberculosis (Mayosi, Flischer, Lalloo, Sitas, Tollman & Bradshaw, 2009).
In South Africa and other low- and middle-income countries, a significant increase in deaths attributable to NCDs is projected to occur in the coming decades (Abedunde, Mathers, Adam, Ortegon & Strong, 2007). Underprivileged South Africans in urban areas are reported to be especially affected by an increase in NCDs emphasizing the need for chronic health care in this sector (Mayosi et al., 2009). Furthermore, there is the assumption that the medical costs of a country could increase along with premature deaths in the population if obesity became a norm in terms of the average body weight (Algazy, Gipstein, Riahi & Tryon, 2010).
South Africa has approximately 386 000 educators in its 266 292 schools (SouthAfrica.info, 2009). As part of a longitudinal study in 100 urban and rural disadvantaged schools in the Western Cape Province, a survey among primary school educators from low-income settings (Ndamane, 2013) found them to be overweight (31%) and obese (47%). Teaching per se is a stressful profession (Prakke, Van Peet & Van der Wolf, 2007) and there is evidence that this is related to poor health outcomes, such as cardiovascular morbidity (Guglielmi & Tatrow, 1998).
The most common self-reported health problems among educators (Shisana, Peltzer, Zungu-Dirwayi & Louw, 2005) in the public sector were high blood pressure (15.6%), stomach ulcers (9.1%) and type-2 diabetes (4.5%). Health promotion among this group of individuals is thus important as it may help them to manage and improve their personal health by imparting knowledge and skills to achieve better overall health (Steyn, Lambert & Tabana, 2009).
South African studies
A high prevalence of overweight and obesity exists in adult South Africans. Fifty-six percent of adult women and 29% of adult men are either overweight or obese. The highest prevalence in women being among non-white groups (Indian, 59%; black, 56% and mixed ancestry, 52%) and in men among the white group (48%) (Department of Health (DoH), Medical Research Council & OrcMacro, 2007).
Local evidence (Puoane, Steyn, Bradshaw, Laubscher, Fourie, Lambert & Mbananga, 2002) however suggests that many men and women do not regard overweight and obesity as health problems. This may be because of the underestimation of their body size. Previous studies have shown that men and women of different ethnicities underestimate their body size, and the underestimation of weight is associated with individuals showing a preference towards an overweight body size (Puoane et al., 2002).
South Africa is a country with unique cultural diversity among its people. A few local studies (Puoane, Fourie, Shapiro, Rosling & Tshaka, 2005; Mciza, Goedecke, Steyn, Charlton, Puoane, Meltzer, Levitt & Lambert, 2005) have highlighted that cultural differences contribute to a higher regard for a larger body size particularly among South African black women. Factors such as health risk perceptions, societal, cultural and ethnic tradition or norms (Kuchler & Variyam, 2003; Mchiza, Goedecke & Lambert, 2011) are assumed to be the main influence.
Anderson, Eyler, Galuska, Brown and Brownson (2002) suggest that the need for a person to lose weight because of being diagnosed with a chronic disease may make their body image more important. Befort, Thomas, Daley, Rhode and Ahluwalia (2008) in their study, found that the participants' health was the main reason for them wanting to lose weight, as 48.8% suffered from hypertension and 25.8% from diabetes. In other studies, chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes were correctly identified as consequences of overweight (Puoane et al., 2005; Puoane, Tsolekile & Steyn 2010).
In a few South African studies, researchers have reported on the causes of overweight as perceived by participants. Among those identified were overeating (Mvo, Dick & Steyn, 1999; Faber & Kruger, 2005); a biological disorder (96%), poor eating habits (39%) (Faber & Kruger, 2005); eating the wrong foods and/or not eating breakfast (Puoane et al., 2005; 2010). Interestingly, most women did not see the connection between health and food intake.
Studies on nutrition knowledge in recent years are limited in South Africa and even more so regarding the nutrition knowledge of educators. Peltzer (2004) reported on the gaps in nutrition knowledge in a sample of 90 urban black and 90 urban white South Africans (18 years and older) in Limpopo province through a telephone survey. This study aimed at particularly determining the level of nutritional knowledge in this urban population. The survey found that both groups, black and white, had reasonable knowledge of diet recommendations and nutrient sources. They were, however, less knowledgeable about the relationship between diet and disease and about choosing healthy foods daily. The white group illustrated more general nutrition knowledge than the black group. Importantly/ interestingly, the participants did not appear to use dietary recommendations to make healthy food choices daily. This suggests that other motivational factors may be playing a role in the healthy foods chosen everyday. The education level of the participants was significantly associated with overall nutrition knowledge in particular diet recommendations (in the black participants) and the association between diet and disease (in the white participants). On a whole, the black female participants had significantly lower nutrition knowledge than white female participants. This was found even though the education level between the two female groups was not significantly different. In males, there was no significant difference in nutrition knowledge of the two groups.
In a pilot study that was conducted to gauge the impact of nutrition education on the nutrition knowledge of primary school Life Orientation educators, baseline results showed that their general nutrition knowledge improved considerably (63.3 ± 30.2% to 80.6 ± 21.1%) after the programme (Oldewage-Theron & Egal, 2012). This would be assumed to improve the nutrition education provided to the primary school learners and in this way improve not only learner, but also educators' nutrition knowledge and behaviour.
Studies elsewhere
In the United States of America, a classroom-based early child hood obesity prevention programme was implemented by Head Start educators who teach the nutrition education curriculum and encourage healthy eating behaviour (Sharma, Dortch, Byrd-Williams, Truxillio, Rahman, Bonsu & Hoelscher, 2013). This educator health behaviour survey assessed behaviour of predominantly African Americans and Hispanics on diet, usual meal consumption, and time spent on being physically active and sedentary, dietary practices and their knowledge and attitudes on nutrition and health. The survey results indicated that the Head Start educators' nutrition knowledge was poor, as none of them could correctly answer all of the nutrition knowledge questions; only 3% and 18% correctly answered at least four and three nutrition questions, respectively. Only 38.5% of educators correctly answered that at least five fruit and vegetables should be eaten daily. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was eaten 'always or almost always' by 57%, 75% and 79% of educators, respectively. In addition, their nutrition behaviour indicated towards the consumption of high fat foods and low fruit and vegetables.
Eighty-eight percent of educators had ever tried to lose weight and as much as 71% had been trying to lose weight at the time of the survey. Seventy-eight percent agreed that excessive weight increased health risks (Sharma et al., 2013).
Little data exists on the health knowledge of educators, particularly with regard to the most important aspects of chronic NCD risk. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate not only primary school educators' health status, but also their knowledge, perceptions and behaviour regarding the two most important behavioural aspects of NCD risk, diet and physical activity.
Study design and sample
This educator survey is a sub-study of HealthKick (Draper, De Villiers, Lambert, Fourie, Hill, Dalais, Abrahams & Steyn, 2010), which is a primary school-based nutrition and physical activity intervention programme, undertaken in 16 schools in the Western Cape Province. The sub-study took place at all the HealthKick intervention schools (four rural and four urban low-resourced schools). This is a cross-sectional descriptive study, which was a useful design to observe and examine the characteristics of primary school educators. This survey was conducted 18 months into the HealthKick intervention programme and the educators were thus exposed to various health awareness activities (Draper et al., 2010). The study sample comprised 155 educators from the HealthKick Intervention schools of whom 76.7% were females and 32.3% males.
The study proposal was submitted and approved by the Research Ethics Committee in the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town (REF No 486/2005). Approval for the research was obtained from the Western Cape DoE. All participants gave written informed consent. All information was confidential and subjects were not identified by name.
Knowledge, attitudes and behaviour Questionnaire
Educators completed a 15-20 minute self-administered, closed-ended questionnaire assessing their nutrition and physical activity knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. Nineteen questions were included in the questionnaire. The knowledge section was based on a validated nutritional knowledge questionnaire developed for use among urban South African adolescents (Whati, Senekal, Steyn, Nel, Lombard & Norris, 2005). Fundamental to its development was the South African food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs), promulgated by the South African DoH (Love, Maunder, Green, Ross, Smale-Lovely & Charlton, 2001). The other sections of the questionnaire relating to attitudes and behaviour were developed and pretested as part of the 100 Schools study (Draper et al., 2010).
Educators completed a short questionnaire assessing various risk factors for the development of chronic NCDs, such as smoking status, level of physical activity, dietary intake pattern and family history. Their height, weight, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure (BP) and non-fasting glucose levels were measured by trained fieldworkers according to the WHO procedures (WHO, 1995). Educators were weighed to the nearest 0.1 Kg, without shoes and jackets using a digital scale. Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a lightweight, porta- ble stadiometer which was placed on an even surface. Educators stood on its base without shoes, with heels together, looking straight ahead. Waist was measured around the narrowest part of the middle, while hip measurement was done around the broadest part of the hips. Blood pressure was measured using an Omron Automatic Digital BP Monitor (model M2, Omron Healthcare, Bannockburn, IL, USA). Measurements were taken after at least 5-10 minutes of rest. The cuff was applied to the upper non-dominant arm so that the midpoint of the length of the cuff lay over the brachial artery and the mid-height of the cuff was at heart level. With the ante-cubital fossa at heart level, two BP readings were taken. A non-fasting blood glucose measurement was taken by means of a finger prick using an ACCU-CHEK Active blood glucose meter.
Data analysis
Data analysis was carried out using the STATA/SE statistical software package version 11.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA). Each participant's BMI was calculated [weight (kg)/ height (irf)]. The sample was stratified into actual weight categories based on their BMI (normal weight < 25; overweight > 25 to < 30; obese > 30) (WHO, 2000). The characteristics of the sample were analysed according to actual weight categories and chi-square t tests were performed to assess statistical significance. Hypertension was defined as a systolic BP > 140 and/or diastolic BP > 90 mmHg (Guidelines Committee, 2003). Glucose values were stratified into high and low levels based on random glucose measurements (high if glucose > 11.1 mmol/ℓ low if glucose < 11.1 mmol/ℓ (Franz, Powers, Leontos, Holz-meister, Kulkarni, Monk, Wedel & Gradwell, 2010). Measurements for WC were stratified into high, and normal, based on gender (high: females > 88 cm and males > 102 cm) (NHLBI Obesity Education Initiative, 2000). Family history referred to having a biological family member who was diagnosed with high BP, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, and/or had suffered from a heart attack or stroke.
Pie charts were generated to show the difference between educators' actual weight versus their perceived weight. Nutrition and physical activity knowledge, attitudes and behaviour questions were analysed and reported as categorical variables according to the number and percentage in each category.
The study sample comprised 155 primary school educators. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the educators stratified into actual weight categories based on their BMI. Of these educators, 20% had a normal weight (BMI< 25), 27.7% were overweight (BMI > 25 to < 30) and 52.3% were obese (BMI > 30). Many educators were younger than 45 years (54.2%), female (78.1%), from an urban area (50.3%), and had high BP (50.3%) and a large WC (57.4%). In addition, many had a family history of heart disease (54.2%) and had attempted to lose weight (41.9%) during the past year. High blood glucose levels were found in 14%, while 16.8% smoked cigarettes and only 11% were physically active. Statistically significant associations were found between actual weight and age (p = 0.023), gender (p = 0.031), BP (p = 0.023), WC (p = 0.0001), family history (p = 0.002), and whether an attempt was made to lose weight (p = 0.0001) during the previous year.
Table 2 and Figure 1 present educators' actual weight versus their perceived weight in the form of three pie charts. While most educators with a normal weight perceived themselves as having a normal weight (27/31), many of those who were overweight also perceived their weight as being normal (23/43). Of those individuals who were obese, only nine out of 81 perceived themselves as being obese.
Table 3 indicates that many educators (56.9%) thought that gaining weight was a result of unhealthy eating habits. The most common barriers to healthy eating and physical activity, respectively, were a busy lifestyle (29.6%; 28.8%), cost (23.3%; 23.3%), and little self-discipline (24.5%; 20.2%). Thirty-five percent of educators reported eating three meals and snacks every day, while 63% reported regularly bringing a healthy lunch to school. Almost half of the sample (49%) reported a sedentary lifestyle, which included sitting most of the time, little walking and no participation in exercise or any sport.
In Table 4 educators' nutrition and physical activity knowledge is reported as being poor [mean = 55.8%). Only 4.6% of educators correctly believed that eating starchy food at most meals was recommended. While most educators (75%) knew what healthy eating was, in terms of eating a variety of foods, only 15% knew that eating five portions of fruit/vegetable a day was recommended. Only 30.5% were able to describe a well-balanced diet. No significant associations were found between educators' knowledge and any of the characteristics listed in Table 1.
To the best of our knowledge, no data have been published on South African educators' health status, knowledge, perceptions and behaviour regarding diet and physical activity.
This study of educators in primary schools has identified a number of risk factors associated with NCD development as indicated by the WHO (WHO, 2005). These include hereditary diseases (non-modifiable risk factor), overweight/obesity, an increased WC, elevated BP (intermediate risk factors), as well as physical inactivity (modifiable risk factor). Elevated BP was also found to be a common self-reported health problem (15.6%) among educators in a survey of public schools in South Africa (Shisana et al., 2005).
Additionally, in this survey, more than half of the educators reported a family history of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, high BP and high blood cholesterol. Known risk factors for high BP are overweight/obesity, family history and stress levels (WHO, 2008). Educators in South Africa have been shown to have very stressful working conditions (Emsley, Emsley & Seedat, 2009), which not merely increase BP, but are also linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases (Vrijkotte, Van Doornen & De Geus, 2000).
Thus, the number of risk factors and family history of NCDs, and the increased workload-induced stress levels among this group of educators may contribute to greater educator absenteeism and, consequently, on the functioning of schools, as suggested by Shisana et al. (2005).
The findings of this survey also showed that most educators fell within the obese and overweight BMI categories and that central obesity was prevalent in more than half of them. These findings surpass those of the South African Demographic and Health Survey (SADHS), which showed that most adults fell within the overweight and obese BMI categories and that hypertension was the most prevalent self-reported condition (DOH et al., 2007).
There are three possible explanations for overweight/obese educators not attempting to lose weight. First, they may not perceive themselves as being overweight or obese, since many overweight/obese educators thought their weight was normal. This explanation is supported by findings from the SADHS (DOH et al., 2007). Moreover, the misconceptions appear to increase as the BMI category increased. Possibly there are ethnic and cultural values attached to these educators' perception of body weight, as most participants in the present survey were from the mixed ancestry and black African groups. These two groups appear to be under greater misconception of their own body size than their white counterparts (Puoane et al., 2005; Matoti-Mvalo, 2006).
Second, these educators may not realise that excess body weight increases their risk for certain diseases, therefore they do not see the health benefits of weight loss. Local evidence (Puoane et al., 2002) suggests that many men and women do not regard overweight and obesity as health problems. Hence, if a specific NCD was not diagnosed in these educators they would not be particularly motivated to lose weight.
The third and final explanation may be that the barriers to weight loss are too high to attempt to overcome. Our findings show that almost 30% of the educators acknowledged that a busy lifestyle was a barrier to physical activity and healthy eating. Although some educators had attempted to lose weight within the previous year, very few were physically active. This implies that educators may find it difficult to follow a healthy lifestyle through physical activity because of other demands on their time. At school, educators' time is bound to the daily school programme and almost half of them reported that most of their time is spent sitting and not much walking. As such this does not bode well for increasing physical activity during the work day of a typical educator.
In addition, schoolwork may encroach on family time at home because educators, for example, have to mark test papers at home. Other family responsibilities may also contribute to their lack of time during the day. Women are generally the ones who prepare meals for their families which may be a quick meal prepared in an unhealthy way or buying take-away/fast foods to save time cooking. These meals are often high in energy and fat, but low in fibre and micronutrients (Temple & Steyn, 2011).
Unhealthy eating habits or eating too much was identified by most educators as the reason for weight gain, which is similar to other studies in South Africa (Mvo et al., 1999; Faber & Kruger, 2005; Puoane et al., 2005; 2010).
The present survey also found that educators had poor nutrition knowledge, which is contrary to our expectation that they would have good basic nutrition knowledge to educate their learners. A relatively small proportion of educators knew of what a balanced diet consisted, and associated starchy foods with weight gain. This misconception that starchy foods lead to weight gain is contrary to message of the FBDGs.
Another concern was the finding that half of the educators did not know how many portions of fruit or vegetables should be eaten a day. Similarly, the Head Start educators survey in the USA found that less than half of educators knew the number of fruits and vegetables servings to be eaten daily (Sharma et al., 2013). This is disturbing, since fruits and vegetables play such an integral role in the fight against chronic NCDs (Peltzer, 2004).
These findings support that of South African adults who have less knowledge in making healthy daily food choices (Peltzer, 2004), and may also allude to a lack of knowledge about the association of disease and nutrition.
While educators had many risk factors for developing NCDs, along with poor nutrition knowledge and misconceptions about their weight status, it is encouraging that several of those who were overweight/obese had attempted losing weight in the previous year. This seems promising for the DoE to evaluate options for making a weight-loss intervention available at schools. Recommendations are that the FBDGs be used as an education tool for educators regarding good nutrition. Basic nutrition and physical activity should be considered as an examinable subject in future training programmes for all educators. For experienced educators, we recommended that the DoE consider making a distance learning nutrition course available.

Windshield Replacement
If you asked the average American, most would say they are concerned about the safety components of their automobile. Today's automobiles are safety conscious with standard features like seatbelts, traction control, anti-lock braking systems, and air bags. But what about another important element of vehicle safety: the windshield? Recent surveys indicate that a majority of vehicle owners are unaware of the role a properly installed windshield plays in the safety features of any vehicle regardless of year, make, and model. A properly installed windshield is vital to the structural integrity of your vehicle. Properly installed windshields allow the airbags to deploy correctly during a collision and provide up to 60% of the roof strength in a rollover accident. If a windshield fails during an accident the safety of the vehicle occupants is greatly compromised. Don't trust you and your families safety to just anyone when it comes to auto glass installation. Let the auto glass experts at Commonwealth Glass & Mirror handle your windshield replacement.

The first trailer for the sequel A Good Day to Die Hard has been released. The story takes place in Moscow and sees Bruce Willis' John McClane teaming up with his estranged son (Jai Courtney) to take on some Russian baddies. The new trailer doesn't elaborate on the story, but it does show off plenty of action, which is probably a good idea considering this is a Die Hard movie. I still can't bring myself to get on board with a PG-13 Die Hard film, and I don't know what director John Moore will bring to the project, but this is a fun trailer, and I especially like the remixing of "Ode to Joy".
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Directed by John Moore the film stars Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch, Yulia Snigir, Cole Hauser, Amaury Nolasco, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Anne Vyalitsyna, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. A Good Day to Die Hard opens on February 14th, 2013.
