In the last 100 years, foam concrete has been the subject of research and development and as a result has come into widespread use across the world as a vital, flexible, strong building material. Since the 1920s, people have used early versions of this material for insulation, and in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s there was a lot of research that led to the development of this material as a mainstream building material with a wide variety of applications. This material is different from ordinary, normal concrete in key ways. It is intended for specific types of uses and is produced through the use of special processes
What Is Foam Concrete?
Foam concrete is a specific type of concrete that is made up of cement, water, and air pores, as well as other materials. Some other names for this material include foamed concrete, foamcrete, cellular lightweight concrete, aircrete, or reduced density concrete. Other materials used in the production include pulverized fly ash, limestone, polystyrene beads, chalk, and sand.
Foam concrete is made up of a slurry of cement and water that is sometimes combined with other materials as well as a synthetic aerated foam. This synthetic aerated foam is created using foaming agents which are mixed with air and water utilizing a foam generator. Specific foaming agents are used to produce air bubbles that have a high level of stability and are resistant to the chemical and physical processes involved in placing, mixing, and hardening.
The properties of foam concrete are dependent upon the volume of filler type, cement content, foam, and material age. In order to be considered true foam concrete, the concrete mix must contain at least 20% foam content mixed into the cement slurry base but usually contains 30%-80% foam. Typically there is no coarse aggregate content that is used in production, and the correct technical term for this compound is foam cement.
Methods of Foam Concrete Production
There are two main methods used to produce foam concrete. Each of them is substantially different from the other. Some processes may be similar in nature, but there are steps taken for each method that are unique. The two different methods that can be used include:
- Inline method
- Pre-foam method
The inline method of foam concrete production utilizes two different types of systems; the wet system, and the dry system. Within the context of the inline method, the cement, water, other materials are mixed with a foam in the unit. The unit system controls used with the wet system are used to check the blending of the whole mix and these materials are typically more wet in nature. When using the dry system, materials are housed in silos and fed into a chamber in which these materials are added and blended to exact specifications.
The pre-foam method involves the process where the ready-mixed materials are brought by a truck to the construction site. The materials are injected into the truck and blended while the mixer is rotating. This is ideal for smaller batches and custom size batches that are made to order. This allows for the elimination of waste during the production phase.
Other Notable Facts About Foam Concrete
The strength and durability of this material are determined by the materials that are mixed in with it when it is being produced. As an example, if sand is included as a filler, the mix will be much stronger as a result. Foam concrete is highly desired for its excellent strength to weight ratio and resistance to shrinkage and cracking.
The use of foam concrete as a building material is known to reduce the overall building cost for many construction companies as well as provide a solid building material with many different potential uses. This material is also resistant to extremes in temperature, however, it is not as strong as normal concrete and cannot be used for all purposes.
The plastic densities ordinarily found in foamed concrete are between 400-1600 kg/m. It is a compound that flows under its own weight and is highly workable. The final dry densities are usually about 100-300 kg/m lower than ordinary concrete.
Why Consider Foam Concrete?
The lightweight properties of foam concrete make it a perfect alternative when large quantities of concrete are required, as it takes less manpower and energy to move the materials between locations. Handling the material is also easier as this material is much easier to cut than ordinary concrete.
Properties and Characteristics
The flexibility of this material makes it ideal as a filler for areas when wiring and the presence of pipes make it difficult to cut holes in the concrete. There are no toxic substances or fillers used in the production of this material and it is known as a stable, ecologically friendly compound. Because it contains up to 80% air, it has excellent sound absorption and fire retardant properties as well. There is a strong plasticizing effect involved in the material, and this is of the most sought-after benefits for using this compound. Until ten years ago, foam concrete was viewed as a weak, substandard material, but with the development of synthetic enzyme-based foaming agents, durability and strength have increased to the point where widespread use is now prevalent.
This material is not ideal for all construction uses, but there is a variety of situations that make using this compound the perfect solution. If you are using concrete for building foundations or for supporting beams you may want to use normal concrete as it is much stronger and will take the weight of these applications. However, for many different types of standard applications, foam concrete is used as a standard building material. This is thanks to the research and development of the 70s and 80s, which made this possible.
Uses Of Foam Concrete
There is a wide variety of potential uses for lightweight foam concrete. Lightweight blocks and panels are produced in many countries including Thailand, China, and India. Typically, these blocks are used to partition walls and also serve other uses.
The fluid nature of this material makes it ideal for void filling purposes. This material has been used to fill basements, storage tanks, old sewers, holes in the ground, and voids under roadways caused by heavy rain. It can be applied to the smallest of openings which makes it much more flexible, eliminating the need to dig up substantial areas and terrain, saving labor and money.
This material can be used as roofing insulation and this is probably the number one application of this material. It can also be used in the construction of concrete bridge abutments. The material does not impose large lateral loads which is an issue when using traditional, granular material.
Other Uses You May Find
Trench reinstatement is one more potential use that many construction companies have for this material. Use of foam concrete versus granular fill materials prevents settlement and damage to pipes in the road as well as avoiding cavities from forming that could cause further damage. Some of the other uses for this wonderful material include the building of the road sub-base which makes road structures less heavy. Wall construction using this material is a cheap and quick method of building across the world. Tunneling is also an application for this material as it is ideal for tunnel construction and repair and fills voids within tunnels while building.
Floor construction is another good use for this versatile material as foam concrete is ideal for building subfloors cheaply and rapidly. Lightweight precast blocks can be produced using this material with the addition of aluminum powder in an autoclaving process. Groundworks, fire breaks, and sound insulation are even further examples of how this lightweight material can be used in the construction industry.
Since its early uses in the 1920s and its further development in the modern world, foam concrete has gone through a lot of changes and will continue to evolve over time. There are many different potential uses for this valuable material, and since it costs less to produce and ship, many companies will choose to use it whenever possible. There are many other benefits in using this type of concrete including the ecologically-friendly nature of the material.
The production, distribution, and use of foam concrete will continue to thrive in the construction industry, and the versatile, flexible uses of this material make it possible to accomplish many tasks that were previously much more difficult. Building materials are all subject to technological advances in this day and age, and it is expected that foam concrete will also undergo additional improvements over time.
For those considering using this material for their construction projects, becoming educated in the properties and materials used in its production would be a wise way to further pursue the best way to understand and use it effectively. Although the production of this material is widespread across the world, the manufacture of foam concrete is big business throughout the USA.

I'm a busy mom. I have a 2 year old daughter. I run a business from home. I still work part time as a nurse and I teach nursing students once a week. I have every excuse in the book to eat on the go, grab what I can, and make unhealthy choices. But instead, I CHOOSE to make small decisions every day that will lead up to big results.
As I was running out of the house I knew I would be gone for a while and I knew that I would end up going through a drive thru or stopping at a gas station. So I quickly ran back in the house and grabbed a banana and string cheese. I also always make sure that I have a big bottle of water by my side.
It was such a small decision but in the grand scheme of things all those little choices will lead up to big results. Imagine if instead of grabbing a burger or fries or bag of chips, you chose to grab a piece of fruit. If you did this for 30 days how do you think you would feel? I challenge you to make a small change today. Swap out one of your snacks for something healthy. See what difference a change can make.

Chiropractic Treatment Fayetteville
What Is Chiropractic Medicine?
At its most basic, chiropractic care is the practice of using a hands-on approach to bring the body into proper alignment. While we won't get too deep into the specifics, the main idea is that your body's structure and functionality are deeply intertwined. If your body's structure is off, then you can expect your mobility to be limited and your day-to-day quality of life to be compromised. Check out this video from our friends at Haavik Research they do a great job explaining what is going on!
For example, if your spine is out of alignment or fixated due to poor posture or tight muscles, then you might find that you spend more time on the couch due to pain, take more medications to relieve the pain, and generally don't feel as well as you could. A simple adjustment could be all you need to maintain proper alignment, though you may need to schedule more frequent treatments. Regardless of how extensive your personalized treatment plan is, many of our patients walk out of the clinic feeling significantly better than they did coming in. Chiropractic care is also used in treatment plans for:
- Leg pain (sciatica)
- Neck pain
- Repetitive motion strains
- Chronic headaches
- Car accident injuries
- Athletic injuries
While chiropractic treatment predominantly focuses on adjustments or spinal manipulation, there are other therapies and treatments that can be applied in addition to spinal manipulation. Among other treatments, myofascial release, gentle exercises, weight loss, and addressing underlying metabolic issues are some of the most common ways to help a patient treat ongoing pain. Your individual treatment will vary according to your specific needs.
Contact a Chiropractor in Fayetteville
If you're suffering from ongoing pain, then get in touch with a member of Ozark Holistic Center to learn more about holistic medicine and chiropractic care. We combine the latest in chiropractic care with other forms of alternative medicine to provide our patients with all-encompassing treatment plans for a variety of conditions. Whether your pain is due to a serious injury or chronic inflammation, our certified chiropractors will work to help you feel your best. When applicable, we will also help you address other aspects of your lifestyle that could be contributing to your pain. An undiagnosed gluten intolerance, for instance, compromised Dr. Gabriel Ariciu's health for years before he found relief.
Stop treating the symptoms of your ailment and begin treating the underlying causes – schedule your appointment with Ozark Holistic Center today.

The Military Wives Choirs, led by Musical Director Brooke Morgan, gave a wonderful performance at the official launch of the Cards for Good Causes shopping season on Friday 12 October at Holy Trinity church, Sloane Square, London. Singing a range of pieces from their new album, Remember, the choir really set the tone for an exciting and successful season ahead. Representatives from member and guest charities, shop hosts and suppliers, were all on hand to view the 2018 card stock and to help launch the season with a flourish.
Speaking at the event, Jeremy Lune, Chief Executive of Cards for Good Causes, said:
"Cards for Good Causes raised in the region of £6 million last year and has raised around £40 million over the last 10 years. We have a rich heritage of supporting a wide range of charitable causes and as we head in to our 60th year of trading, we look forward to the future of this organisation with renewed enthusiasm and pride. It is great to see so many of the people who make the whole thing work here today. By working together, we are making a real difference to lives and bringing joy to people across the UK and the world with some really wonderful Christmas cards from our partner charities."
Anita Bates, Director of Marketing & Fundraising at Perennial, and a Cards for Good Causes Board member, said:
"We're heading into a really exciting season - the Cards for Good Causes brand is looking fresh, our Christmas gifts, wrapping and decoration ranges have been updated and we all feel there's a real impetus now. Sales of Christmas cards are not only a really important source of income for charities, especially a smaller charity like Perennial, but they also play a crucial role in spreading the word about our services. Every year we receive calls from gardeners and others working in or retired from horticulture who need help, who learned about us from a Christmas card and that for me, is the real reason we're all here."
The Holy Trinity Church Cards for Good Causes shop is now open every day until 18 December. A further 17 pop-up shops are located across Central and Greater London. You can find your nearest here. Alternatively, you can shop the widest online selection of charity Christmas cards right here.
We are selling The Military Wives Choirs CD Remember in our pop-up shops across London and very soon it will be available on our website. All proceeds to the Military Wives Choirs charity, Stronger Together, which works alongside SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity.

For many years now, in all of my personal correspondence, I almost always use as my valedictory (farewell words) the closing word, "Peace." Why?
Like many things in my life, though I may never sit down and write a formal explanation for their use, almost always, there are reasons why I do what I do, often even in the smallest things. The use of the word "peace" is not by accident or because of flippant protocol, rather I do so for the following reasons:
Hope – As Jesus said, because we live on a sinful planet full of sinful people, daily trouble is a guarantee. To one degree or another we will always be faced with various trials, hardships, pains, misunderstandings, confusions, betrayals, letdowns, perplexities, falsities, and turmoil. Just reading this list is enough to push us toward depression. The point is this present out-of-whack world can be a tough place to live. Therefore, we all could use reminders of the perfect hope we have in Jesus to help provide us with a bit of peace in the midst of our daily trials.
My farewell word of "peace" is meant to be a tiny beacon of hope, as a reminder to you and a reminder to me, that things are guaranteed to get better. Therefore, whenever it is read, hopefully, it will not just be glossed over as a mere formality, but rather it might be a spark to ignite joy in remembering we win in the end.
Blessing – Whenever you read the word "peace" at the end of any of my personal writings, I hope you will receive it as a mini-blessing asking for God's favor, protection, and peace in your life.
Please know I offer it as a quick prayer for the recipient(s) that they (you) would know the peace of Jesus the Prince of Peace. A prayer for you to experience His perfect arms of strength and care wrapping around you in His tight embrace of love. My hope would be this one little word of "peace," even though it is so quickly passing, would act as a gentle breeze of calmness and joy in the course of the events of your stressed daily life. Therefore, the next time you read this closing of "peace," please stop, take a breath, and allow this one word blessing to wash over you as you accept the presence and smile of Jesus.
It was Jesus who said in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Jesus also said in John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
By the way… this coming weekend for the second message in our Advent series "Expecting" the topic will be: "Peace."
Peace (Really!),

Question: Recent lack of sexual desire
|emtee - Thu Aug 28, 2008 6:01 am
Share |
I'm 20 years old, I have been with my girlfriend for 6 months now and we've always had really tremendous sex, no problems, always amazing. However recently, meaning the past 2 attempts, I just haven't felt quite.. up to it? I would get an erection but soon after getting started, I would feel drained, like maybe I didn't have it in me after all, and my erection would subside.
There must be some psychological problem that I am having, but I can't put my finger on it. I know without a doubt that I love this girl completely, and she absolutely turns me on; I don't think I am burnt out on sex, is that possible? We have sex once a night about 3 nights a week. I'm not really stressed out, I'm actually at a pretty good place right now in my life... I don't smoke and rarely drink... I'm stumped. =(
This is my first sexual relationship, but I have experienced times in the past where I don't have any sex drive for a couple weeks, meaning I would go that whole time without masturbating or really even thinking about sex. This is very rare though, and it seemed to only happen when I was under heavy "girl" pressure, like early stages of relationships, or when a girl plays with my emotions and leads me on (evil thing to do, by the way).
I don't know, maybe I'm crazy!

MG Cars See Resurgence In The UK
MG is a British car brand that can trace its origin as far back as 1924, before falling on unfortunate times and going through a few ownership changes. Under new ownership since 2011 (SAIC of China), the MG brand is now experiencing a revival of sorts.
In May 2018, MG Motor UK recorded growing sales figures, according to The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), outperforming the new car market with a year-to-date volume increase of 103% compared with the first five months of 2017.
MG more than doubled its registrations in May compared to the same period last year, keeping the brand on course to meet its ambitious sales target. This growth was led by the all-new MG ZS compact SUV, launched to industry acclaim in late 2017 and considered the UK's best value-for-money SUV currently. The MG ZS starts from £12,495 (approximately RM66,809), and includes a 7-year / 80,000 miles manufacturer warranty and is available on a 5-year, 0% finance deal.
Daniel Gregorious, Head of Sales & Marketing at MG Motor UK, said; "Our incredible start to the year continued in May, and we're delighted to be the UK's fastest growing car brand. MG showrooms are getting busier all the time as more people are attracted by our great-looking cars which are packed with tech at unbelievable prices".
The MG brand is on an expansion drive in the UK to grow its dealership network. MG was voted the in the top 10 for most reliable car brands in the prestigious WhatCar? Awards and took second place in the annual WhatCar? customer satisfaction survey.
The MG range of vehicles is also available in Thailand, including the ZS. It is powered by a 1.5L engine with 122 hp and 150 Nm, and competes in the Honda BR-V category there. Do you want to see the MG brand in Malaysia?

For over 25,000 years, humans across the globe have shaped, decorated, and fired clay. Despite great differences in location and time, universal themes appear in the world's ceramic traditions, including religious influences, human and animal representations, and mortuary pottery. In Global Clay: Themes in World Ceramic Traditions, noted pottery scholar John A. Burrison explores the recurring artistic themes that tie humanity together, explaining how and why those themes appear again and again in worldwide ceramic traditions. The book is richly illustrated with over 200 full-color, cross-cultural illustrations of ceramics from prehistory to the present. Providing an introduction to different styles of folk pottery, extensive suggestions for further reading, and reflections on the future of traditional pottery around the world, Global Clay is sure to become a classic for all who love art and pottery and all who are intrigued by the human commonalities revealed through art.
John A. Burrison is Regents Professor of English and Director of the Folklore Curriculum at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He is the author of numerous books, including From Mud to Jug: The Folk Potters and Pottery of Northeast Georgia and Roots of a Region: Southern Folk Culture.
"This is a singular (and decidedly ambitious) undertaking—a survey of traditional ceramics across millennia and world cultures, all structured around recurrent themes or functions. I have read numerous books on traditional ceramics, but I've never encountered anything quite like this. "

Men with female functions have a congenital dysfunction of the adrenal cortex – the congenital adrenogenital syndrome. The anomaly can be detected during the pre-natal period, when the fetus develops its externalia. As a rule, the children born with the adrenogenital syndrome die at an early age.
Androgynies have been all the rage in the fashion business. It may often be difficult to determine the sex of a model at first sight, but this is something that he or she is very proud of somewhere deep inside. Many of them do their best to hide the secret from the general public.

Chenin Blanc 'Summer Showcase' with a view at Meloncino!
The Chenin Blanc Association hosts a tasting of its top members' wines twice a year, to match the summer or winter season. Last week a tasting of 25 top Chenin Blancs was followed by a summery Italian-inspired lunch with a view onto Table Mountain at Meloncino in the V & A Waterfront.
The tasting of the 25 Chenin Blancs was divided into five groups of five wines, and was led by Jeff Grier of Villiera, a gentle good off-the-cuff speaker, being so good with his notes that he often knew more about the wines than was shared by the winemakers. Jeff stood in for Ken Forrester, Chairman of the Chenin Blanc Association, who spends a lot of his time marketing his wines in the USA. What makes these events great is that writers can meet a number of the winemakers at the table, getting to know them a little better, the Simonsig (Hannes Meyer), Ayama (Liezel Delport), and Rijk's (Pieter Waal) representatives sitting Continue reading →
Good Food & Wine Show is a theatre of food! Gordon Ramsay star of the show!
This year the Good Food and Wine Show has new owners, Fiera Milano Exhibitions Africa, and in some respects little has changed, yet it felt as if most of the show consisted of theatre demonstrations, most of which has to be paid for in addition to the R110 entrance fee. Controversial Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay certainly is the main attraction of the Show.
At the entrance to the Show, where one buys the tickets, Ramsay's poster attracts attention, the only visual that indicates that the Cape's main food show is inside the doors of the Cape Town International Convention Centre, running until Sunday. As one walks through the hall, one quickly gets to the ticket office selling tickets for Ramsay's demos, as well as his books. Thereafter one sees the queue, waiting patiently to get into his demo. I asked a Capetonian how much she had paid and why she wanted to see Ramsay. She said that she had paid R250 for the 'cheap' show (and not R950 for the VIP version, she said with derision) and that her son wanted to see Ramsay, costing her R720 for the tickets and entrance alone. Where we walked, we saw stands set up for demonstrations, some larger, some smaller. The Checkers Celebrity Chefs Theatre was curtained off, one hearing the cheering when Ramsay arrived to put on his show, and for many it was more of a comedy club than a serious cooking demonstration. Ramsay hosts the 11h00, 13h30, and 18h00 slots today, and 11h00, 13h30 and 16h30 slots on Sunday. Other Celebrity Chefs on stage this weekend are Australian restaurateur Bill Granger, master pâtissier Eric Lanlard, and twins Isabella and Sofia Bliss of Junior MasterChef Australia. 'Giggling Gourmet' Jenny Morris and Rooi Rose Food Editor Vickie de Beer will do presentations on 'Decadent Desserts' at the Häagen-Dasz and Pillsbury stand. Chef Eric Lanlard and a number of other local baking specialists will be on show at the Golden Cloud interactive theatre. Spar has a Wine & Canapés Theatre, while Spekko sponsors a 'Tafelpraatjies' Theatre with talks by leading Afrikaans food presenters.
Woolworths had set up a massive 'Real Food Theatre', stylishly decorated, attracting attention with its branding. It was one of few stands that did not charge for attendance, accepting attendance on a first come first served basis. At the time we came across the Theatre, Chef Christiaan Campbell from Delaire Graff was setting up to do his demo, and 12 volunteers from the audience were requested to prepare his menu of a starter of Cured eye of pasture-reared silverside with parmesan and radishes, and a main course of potato gnocchi and mushroom sauce. Chef Christiaan described his menu as being terroir-driven, the silverside having come from grass fed pasture beef from Greenfields in KwaZulu-Natal, and the baby radishes from Farmer Angus at Spier, having grown in their compost heap, Chef Christiaan explained. Lorraine Bourgogne, our intern from Reunion, volunteered to cook at one of six stations, and Chef Christiaan had his hands full to teach his new 'students' how to make his dishes, viewed by the audience. They were lucky to take their creations home with them. Chef Peter Tempelhoff of The Greenhouse, Bill Granger, Tamsin Snyman, award-winning food bloggers Anel Potgieter and Nina Timm, and Rebecca Hurst will do demos this weekend at the Woolworths stand. The Woolworths Little Chefs Kitchen has hands-on workshops for children by Chefs Peter Tempelhoff, Christiaan Campbell, and Isabella and Sofia Bliss this weekend.
For the rest there were some interesting small stands, the Las Paletas artisan lollies stand attracting attention with its attractive stand design, despite its small size. Jason Sandell's wife Diana Chavarro is from Colombia (they met in London), and the name of their business is the Spanish for …'ice lolly'. Diana has a marketing background, and it shows in the attractive design of the stand, and its marketing material. The 'business card' is a lolly stick, which contains their contact details! They are usually to be seen at the City Bowl Market on Saturday mornings. What makes their lollies so special is the unusual taste combinations, e.g. strawberries and cream, guava and cheesecake, pomegranate lemonade, strawberry sorbet, coconut lemonade, kiwi sorbet, raspberry, yogurt and kiwi, spiced mango, peanut butter and jam, roast banana, granadilla gelato, and brownie cheesecake. An unusual design feature, and reflecting the green trend, was Moyo's lettuce lattice screen, separating the food preparation and serving areas! Chocolates by Tomes is offering excellent Show prices, one of the best chocolate-makers in Cape Town. Denise's Delights sells delicious cupcakes at only R10. The super friendly mother and daughter team of Erica and Ursula at the Puglia stand very kindly handed me a stracciatella mozzarella tub, knowing my weakness for their product. The Lebkuchen stand connected with my German roots! Paging through the Show booklet afterwards, we were surprised about how many stands we did not see, yet we felt we had walked up and down every aisle!
The alcoholic beverage section of the show is disappointing, and seems an unexciting side of the exhibition, tucked away at the far end, and not blending in nor 'pairing' with the food in the rest of the hall. Graham Beck partnered its MCC with Bentley's Oyster Bar & Bistro, the only such food and wine pairing we saw.
What was extremely odd was seeing a number of stands that had no relationship to food or wine: DStv could be understood to be there, as a sponsor of the Checkers Celebrity Chef's Theatre, but looked like a massive decoder sales showroom. Even weirder was the rather large Ariel stand, marketing the washing powder! But oddest of all was 'Café la Domestos', an Eastern-style table setting low on a tile floor, to represent that Domestos is such a safe and good cleaner that one can literally eat off the floor! Hence their taste treats (one could choose between salmon or labneh) were served on white tiles, a bizarre mental leap!
The Woolworths demo stand was the highlight of our visit, and is centrally located in the exhibition hall, allowing one to make a stop here to attend one of the demonstrations, or even better, to participate in one, without charge. One should bring along enough cash to give into the temptations throughout the Good Food & Wine Show!

Starlings Café champion of home-grown and organic produce!
It was via Twitter that I first read about Starlings Café, which had opened more than four years ago, but only became well-known when they started Tweeting about six months ago, co-inciding with their new farmer-style market they host in their garden section on Wednesdays at 16h00 – 18h00.
Focusing on home-grown produce in the preparation of its food for the small menu, owner Trish Krutz offered her suppliers a small homely space in which they could display their organic and home-grown produce to the Starlings Café clients, a win-win situation for both the Café in attracting more business, and for the product suppliers, who are part of a market growing in popularity. Trish said she likes to stay below the radar, 'behind the hedge', she said. The Café prepares all its food, only buying croissants from Cassis.
One sees the Origin coffee branded umbrellas of Starlings Café only once one steps off the pavement on Belvedere Road, and the interior feels homely, consisting of two interleading rooms and an open-plan kitchen, and then leads onto the terrace outside, which is protected against the weather. Tables and chairs are mix and match, and each table has a different colour and pattern tablecloth. Walls are covered with sketches, paintings, and prints, giving it a very homely feeling, as if one is visiting a friend's parents' house, with vases of roses and rosemary on each table. The Willow Creek ceramic extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar containers suit the country-style restaurant, even if it is in the city, with unbranded salt and pepper grinders. Paper serviettes have a starling printed onto them. The menu is simply printed on white board, with a starling on it too. Its introduction states: "We love supporting local suppliers and using the best quality home grown produce we can find". This is visible as Trish was connecting with her suppliers after the worst market buying rush was over. I tried the mozzarella fior di latte (using Puglia's mozzarella), tomato and basil pesto salad stack (R45), with amazing wholewheat bread baked by the Café. It was a delicious combination, not needing butter or any of the condiments. One can also order a tart of the day; Thai chicken curry; Portabellini mushrooms, roasted tomato and artichoke risotto; or a hamburger; ranging from R45 – R65. A choice of salads is offered, including chicken caesar, and roasted vegetables (R55 – R69). Sandwiches with roast vegetable, feta and pesto; bacon, Dalewood brie and homemade tomato chilli jam; and chicken on rye with harissa and date dressing cost R50 – R59. Trish was extremely friendly, but her staff less so.
On a lower level to the terrace are the tables set up for the market, with nine stands, protected against the heat by trees and more Origin umbrellas. Matt Allison is a friend from the Food & Wine Bloggers' Club, and his colourful table had vegetables on it that he had picked two hours previously. He was selling parsley, butter lettuce, carrots, red onions, tomatoes, potatoes, herbs, green peppers, green beans, and more. Interesting was the Boutique Garden Honey stand, at which honey from hives set up in Cape Town gardens is sold. I was fascinated to see the difference in the colour of the honey coming from Newlands (dark brown, a sign of fynbos, I was told) compared to that from Claremont (being far more golden) gardens. The garden honey costs R45, while their spingflower honey from the veld costs R25. They also sell interesting sounding honey-flavoured soaps, e.g. Rose geranium, Marigold and lemon, Myrrh and frankencense. Pets can be treated with wheat free low fat organic treats, for sale at the market. Simply Wholesome supplies restaurants and homes with organic and free range produce on order, with delivery, and evolved from a greater focus by the owners on eating healthily. One can buy salted and unsalted farm butter, eggs, 'free run' chicken and eggs, as well as Seville orange marmalade, fig preserve, sundried tomato mustard, and strawberry jam. The House of Pasta has a restaurant and take-away service at the bottom end of Long Street, and the owner is Italian. His charming wife explained all the pasta types to me, including gluten-free lasagne sheets and fusille, as well as tagliarini, and spinach and butternut pasta. The Creamery was selling delicious strawberry and lemon curd ice cream flavours. Richard Bosman's charcuterie products were for sale, with a new smoked bacon. Julie Carter from Ocean Jewels Fresh Fish had a table. Afrikara Co-op is from Wolseley, and sells organic biodynamic natural yoghurt, cream, and feta cheese (labneh too usually, but not yesterday), as well as aubergines, and whatever fruit and vegetables they produce.
Attending the market yesterday allowed me to meet Karen Welter for the first time, who does the Tweeting for Starlings Café, and her late parents-in-law were friends of my parents many years ago. Karen is busy with a dissertation on 'Sustainable Restaurants' at the Sustainability Institute, which is part of the University of Stellenbosch. She is focusing on key issues for restaurants in terms of how they can operate their businesses in a more sustainable manner in terms of their energy usage, communication, sourcing products, best practice, and collaboration with others.
It was a very special experience at Starling's Café, with friendly collaboration amongst the market stallholders evident, and friends clearly meeting there regularly. It felt like a mini-bazaar, for a special set of persons lucky to live close by to Starlings Café to allow them to visit regularly. It has none of the crowdedness that one experiences at the Slow Food Market at Oude Libertas or at the Old Biscuit Mill.
Starlings Café, 94 Belvedere Road, Claremont. Tel (021) 671-6875. Facebook Twitter:@StarlingsCafe. Monday – Friday 7h30 – 17h00, Saturday 8h00 – 16h00, Sunday 8h00 – 12h00. Market on Wednesday 16h00 – 18h00

Puglia Cheese: genuine Italian-made mozzarella in Cape Town!
I have been interested in the debate about which mozzarella is better – that which is made from buffalo milk, as is made by Wayne Rademeyer at Buffalo Ridge in Wellington, or that which is made from cow's milk by Puglia Cheese in Cape Town. My search for Stracciatella mozzarella, the most delicious spreadable mozzarella I first tasted at the Eat In Night Market a few months ago, led me on Friday to buy it directly at Puglia Cheese in Montague Gardens, and to meet the charming co-owner Ursula Ostuni.
Puglia Cheese was started as a joint venture by Davide Ostuni and Fabio Fatelli, both originally from the Puglia region in Italy, a year ago. In a short time they have made their mark, in having won first place in the SA Dairy Championships Mozzarella category for their Burrata, and a second place for their Bocconcini, as well as a quality award for their whole Mozzarella range. One of Puglia Cheese's biggest champions is restaurateur Giorgio Nava, who uses their mozzarella at 95 Keerom Street, Mozzarella Bar, and at Caffé Milano. Initially he went to all his Italian restaurant colleagues in Cape Town, showing them the Puglia Cheese products, and now the company has clients such as Aubergine, Spar, Primi Piatti, Meloncino, Il Cappero, the One&Only Cape Town, the Mount Nelson Hotel, Giovanni's, Nonna Lina, The Power & Glory, Wild Peacock Food Emporium, and all Melissa's deli branches, just to mention some of the local outlets. They distribute to the Garden Route as well. Distribution via key Spar, Checkers, and Pick 'n Pay branches is on the cards, which means that the company will move to bigger premises soon.
The star Mozzarella maker is Cosimo, who comes from Bari in Puglia, and does not speak English. Ursula said he is the 'key man' at Puglia Cheese, being dedicated in almost single-handedly, and by hand, producing 300kg of cheese per day with only an assistant. Hygiene is important, and I had to don a hair net, special shoe covers and a white jacket to go into the production room. Production starts at 7h00, and finishes by lunchtime, and in the afternoon the products are packed and labelled, ready for delivery of the precious perishable products. A machine is used to boil the cows' milk, which comes from a Cape Town and a Stellenbosch farm, to which rennet, a curdling agent, is added, creating the foundation of all Mozzarella cheese. Then Cosimo puts the curdled milk into 90°C boiling water, and with a wooden batten he shapes the cheese into 'dough', making it more and more pliable, out of which he makes 'knots', or the unique Nodino mozzarella not made by anyone else in South Africa, and is a typical Puglian mozzarella. The same mozzarella dough is used to create a pocket into which straciatella mozzarella is added and then closed, to make Burrata. A machine is used to make Fior de Latte and Bocconcini, but still needs Cosimo's interaction with it in the production process. Ursula told me that it took fourteen years for Cosima to learn the art of mozzarella making.
Davide grew up in Italy, and came to Cape Town on holiday, meeting Ursula at a party. She joined Davide in Italy, and said that it took some time for his mama to accept that Ursula would not be going away. They went to London, where a friend of Davide's worked, and he started as a waiter, worked at the Ritz Hotel, was a model, and started to learn to cook, but did not become a chef. Ursula and Davide were in the United Kingdom for about thirteen years, and had five Italian restaurants in this period. The last one they owned was located in St Albans and was called Carpe Diem, using only genuine Italian products, mostly imported and some home-made. Once their first child was born, Davide moved into food-broking. Having children, Ursula wanted to return home to South Africa, and they chose to live in Cape Town. Both missed genuine mozzarella, only finding tough 'tennis ball' type local mozzarella here. This led Davide to start making mozzarella, and establishing Puglia Cheese with his friend. A future collaboration with Giorgio Nava, in creating more Mozzarella Bars, is on the cards. Ursula praises Nava, for his ability to use mozzarella in traditional recipes, but to adapt them by serving them with flair and elegance.
Mozzarella is made with buffalo milk in southern Italy, around Naples, and in central Italy, but the east coast and the rest of Italy makes mozzarella with cow's milk, given that the milk is freely available, and that the mozzarella produced from it has a longer shelf life, resulting in about 80 % of Italian mozzarella being made with cow's milk. Mozzarella made from buffalo milk is rich and creamy when fresh, but goes hard and sour after two days. Its 'dough' is not soft and pliable, and therefore one cannot make mozzarella knots and balls from it. Local mozzarella currently sold in supermarkets is likely to contain preservatives, to have a longer shelf-life.
Ursula emphasised that mozzarella should be taken out of the fridge an hour before eating it, to enjoy it at room temperature. Different mozzarella cheeses have different expiry dates: Fior di Latte (Bocconcini and balls) 18 days (in water), Burrata (in water) 9 days, Stracciatella 9 days, Nodini (in water) 9 days, and Treccia (in water) 9 days. Should it be older than the expiry dates, it can be used for pizza, which is what Italian mamas would do. Most food lovers associate mozzarella with Caprese salad, and therefore sales are high in summer. Puglia Cheese is happy that food bloggers and writers are providing creative recipes for the use of Mozzarella in winter dishes too. Ricotta cheese is also made at Puglia Cheese, and they are experimenting with the addition of peppercorns, chilli peppers, and walnuts for new products in future.
Disclosure: I was given a ball each of Burrata and Bocconcini to try at home, when I bought the Stracciatella mozzarella.

Restaurant Review: Mozzarella Bar serves mainly … mozzarella!
I have had my moments with Giorgio Nava, but must salute his bravery in zealously opening restaurants in Cape Town, in addition to the two established restaurants 95 Keerom Street and Carne. Last month he opened Down South on Long Street and the Mozzarella Bar on Kloof Street, and on Saturday Café Milano opened, higher up on Kloof Street. The Mozzarella Bar is run by charming Italians, and all its dishes, except the bakery items and desserts, contain a soft creamy mozzarella, offering good value for money.
Co-owner and interior designer, and friend of Nava, Matteo Amatruda, explained that Nava is trying to educate Capetonians about true Italian cuisine, and each of his restaurants, with the exception of Down South, focuses on a specific Italian aspect. Café Milano, for example, will focus on baking, and bakes the bread and makes the croissants for the Mozzarella Bar. Nava runs between all his properties, we were told, and we saw this, as he popped in as we were about to leave, having been there earlier in the morning already.
The manager Simone explained that special equipment was brought out from Italy Continue reading →

Catching up with Werner Herzog
The legendary German director talks to us on the eve of the release of his new film, ''Rescue Dawn''
Don't be fooled by the soothing voice and gentle manner: German director Werner Herzog is a danger magnet. During a career of 50-plus movies, including mesmerizing art-house classics like 1972's Aguirre, the Wrath of God, 1982's Fitzcarraldo, and the 2005 documentary Grizzly Man, Herzog has traveled the globe, encountering production challenges — like pulling a boat over a mountain — that could crush the hardiest of souls. Even a 2006 BBC interview turned Herzogian when the 64-year-old was hit by a stray bullet in his abdomen. Within days, he randomly pulled Joaquin Phoenix from a car wreck in L.A. Now, as he releases his most mainstream film yet, July 4's riveting Vietnam POW drama Rescue Dawn, starring Christian Bale, Herzog shares more war stories and a few profound thoughts.
He's raised Murphy's Law to an art form.
"I've attracted disasters, one after another. They come on like biblical plagues. During [the making of 1971's] Fata Morgana, I got ill with a blood parasite, got arrested and put in jail in Africa — all sorts of tough things. But I've never left a film unfinished."
He's happy to see Rescue Dawn open against Transformers.
"All of my films are commercial; they just haven't reached the mainstream. [It's just that] I've worked within the niche of foreign films, a market that's so small, it's not more than there is black under my fingernails."
Herzog, an adventurer? Not according to him.
"Adventure doesn't exist anymore. It died away at the time when damsels would faint on couches and men would meet in pistol duels at dawn. Now it's an embarrassment."
The truthiness is out there.
"We need a new approach to reality. I'm not into facts. I'm going for something that illuminates us, an ecstatic truth."

Being a writer in today's digital world means more opportunities for more people. The average amount of content generated every day is so huge that even when calculated on a 'per minute' basis, the numbers are staggering. Consider these statistics from Intel posted a year ago, in 2012:
Every 60 seconds…:
- More than 204 million emails are sent
- More than 684,000 posts are made on Facebook
- More than 100,000 tweets are sent
- More than 570 websites are created
- More than 300 new WP blog posts are published
With statistics like this, it is easy to understand why there is more opportunity today for people to have their work published online than ever before. However, it is equally true that the overall quality of content is somewhat 'less than optimal' when it comes to the uncontrolled publishing that the internet facilitates. This, in turn, throws up a new set of challenges for real writers who want their work to be recognised online. Let's take a look at how this sudden flood of content affects the average writer.
Why writers need help
An author today needs to reconcile themselves to the fact that the competition to gain a user's attention even for a few seconds is intense. With so many millions of bits of information bombarding them from every direction, the average user tends to skim content rather than read it patiently. This leads to the inevitable conclusion that if your content is not engaging, it won't be read. Here are some of the things a writer needs to do in order to maximise the effectiveness of their work on new readers – as well as loyal ones.
Proofreading is key
Possibly one of the most important things to do after a piece of content has been written is to proofread it from an objective viewpoint. A word processor can definitely help with grammar and spelling, but the flow, logic and forcefulness of the content MUST come from the writer. Naturally, you can have an independent proofreader edit your copy after you've written it, but somehow that doesn't have the same effect as doing it yourself. So, what do you need to know about proofreading so you can do it like a pro? Read on…
Elements of professional proofreading
In order to understand the process of proofreading, it is important to know what the components are, so you can begin working on one area at a time. As you master each area, you can start implementing it on your content; over time, you will have a firm grasp on what is needed to make a piece of copy stand out in the crowd and be read and recognised. Here's what to focus on:
- Logic and flow: This is a natural starting point for any proofreader or copy editor after the basics of spelling and grammar have been dealt with. In this step, you will need to put yourself in the shoes of your reader and ask yourself if the sequence of thoughts being presented flows naturally – without breaks in the thought process or going back and forth between ideas. A poorly written piece of content can often be magically transformed into engaging copy if the logic and flow are altered.
- Vocabulary and word usage: The next consideration is the level of vocabulary used, and the kind of wordplay employed in getting your message across. At this stage, you want to validate the content against its potential readers. Are you writing on an academic subject? Is your content targeted at educated professionals rather than "the average Joe"? In that case, by all means use big words – but only to deliver the message, NOT to impress. Words should be used as tools, not as ornaments.
- Brevity and readability: Finally, remember that content is only as good as how effectively it conveys thoughts and ideas. If you can say something in one sentence, there's no need to use a whole paragraph to say it. Don't forget that readers today are stretched for time and need to maximise it any way they can – just be sure they don't do it by giving your content a miss altogether because it just runs on and on about the same thing.
These are the core elements of professional proofreading – not making sure that your i's are dotted and your t's crossed, although the copy editing part does play an important role in professional content writing. The most important thing to remember is that any content you put out MUST engage the reader from the very first sentence if it is to survive amidst tough competition.
Be concise; be powerful; and, most importantly, "be the reader."
14th April 2017
as far as i concern about this There always has been a dilemma about the difference between proofreading and editing in the world of translation. To many of us, both terms mean the same, but there is actually quite a difference. While proofreading of a given text may take only half an hour, the editing of that very same text can take up to three hours – or even more. So how do these two processes differ

So I have a question about sex. I am 17 and I am a virgin. I am bisexual; I've just started a relationship with a another girl and we are feeling close and ready for sex. I get so many mixed messages about whether I'm still a virgin if I have sex with a girl. What classifies my virginity? Because I am bisexual I feel like I have to have had sex with both sexes to not be a virgin. I know it shouldn't matter but it's playing on my head a bit. Thanks so much for your advice, C xox
Hey C,
Thank you so much for your advice forum submission! We are so excited that you saw one of our postcards and reached out! This is such an amazing question! It makes sense that you would be confused– the messages really are mixed.
Not everyone defines virginity the same way, because not everyone defines "real sex" or a "virgin" the same way. Most definitions of "losing your virginity" equate it with the first time you have sex, and the most commonly understood conception of "real sex"/ "going all the way" is vaginal penetrative sex, which of course conforms to the norms of heterosexuality and the gender binary. Others may say that the first time you engage in oral or anal sex "counts" as the loss of your virginity as well, or even fingering. Because vaginal penetrative sex has been hammered into our heads as the "real way to lose your virginity," it may be less easy to define for same-sex couples, or individuals who don't adhere to the strict gender binary.
There's also some people who claim that a girl loses her virginity when she breaks her hymen ("pops her cherry"). I'd like to point out a few problems here– the first is, men don't have hymens, which means we're kind of limiting the definition of a virgin to females, which, if you ask me, feels disempowering to women and a remnant of the patriarchal society we live in. Second, not all individuals who think of themselves as girls have hymens either!! Again, it all goes back to the tricky problems the gender binary creates. Further, on a more basic level, not all girls have a hymen, and there are other ways to break them. Hymens are vastly misunderstood; for example, the hymen does not fully cover the vagina (if it was, how would we menstruate or expel discharge?), and, your hymen can stretch and change with different activities (it can even grow back!!) so equating virginity to breaking the hymen is completely ridiculous. I'm fairly confident I broke mine when I first jabbed in a tampon at age 12, and trust me, with my first kiss another 5 or 6 years away, I DEFINITELY still considered myself a virgin after that moment.
Anyways, I could rattle on and on the history of the concept of the virgin and the problems that go with it, and female sexual agency, and the effects of living in a culture where there is a huge, unnecessary, and often detrimental hype around the idea of virginity and its "loss" being celebrated as a milestone… BUT, I'll hold myself back. At the end of the day, like you acknowledged, the definition really doesn't matter. No one else needs to know if you're a "virgin" or not. If what you do with your current girlfriend feels like sex to you, then maybe you won't consider yourself a virgin anymore. Or maybe you'll decide to consider yourself a virgin until (if) you have sex of some kind with both a male and female individual. Or maybe you'll decide to screw the virginity idea all together. Any decision you make in that regard is "correct", valid, and okay– as long as it doesn't pressure you to have sex with a boy just for the sake of confirming your loss of virginity after you have sex with your girlfriend. What really matters here is that you do what you and your partner feel comfortable with, that you're being safe, and that you're communicating with any sexual partner.
Good luck and don't let this get to your head too much. I'll bet that in a year (or five years or a month or a week), it won't matter to you anyways.
