Food Security in SA
Solutions to Food Insecurity
Solutions to Food Insecurity
Food Security in South Africa
© Eric Miller
With people going hungry, children growing underdeveloped and obesity running rampant, it is no secret that we need to rethink the way we handle food. Looking at the way the global climate is changing and nutrient lacking produce we have access to, we need to change the way we grow and distribute food. Various reports and organizations have put forward suggestions over the years on how to find solutions to the problems with food insecurity we're facing.
SouthAfrica.co.za explores some of these solutions in terms of agriculture, nutrition, habits and city planning among others.
Alternative Ways to Grow More Food
The green revolution in the 1960s increased our agricultural yields significantly with its hybridised crops and artificial fertilisers....
Cost Effective Interventions for Hunger and Malnutrition
The Copenhagen Consensus Centre is a think tank of leading economists who meet every four years to discuss what they regard as some of the world's 'top ten' crisis areas: air pollution, conflict, disease...
Examining City Layout for Greater Food Security
The preoccupation with food gardens as the solution to hunger in the urban household tends to hand responsibility over to the individual to deal with the problem of food security at a domestic level....
Fixing Our Cities and Our Climate
So, yes, the bad news is that our cities are making us fat and sick. The good news is that some of the buffers we need to 'climate-proof' our cities might offset the worst consequences of our swelling midriffs....
Fixing Our Relationship with Food
It would be ideal if the solution to the region's growing weight problems and associated ill health were simply a matter of signing everyone up for a healthy eating programme....
Fortifying Staple Foods with Vitamins
Where the use of sprinkles is a targeted intervention, the fortification of staple foods with some of the key micronutrients is a blanket intervention designed to inject a very minimum load of certain micronutrients into diet....
Ideal Diet Composition
On any given day, your food should add up to this: 55–75% of your daily calories should be made up of carbohydrates, 10–15% should come from protein, and 15–30% from fats, according to the World Health Organization...
Micronutrient Sprinkles to Address Malnutrition
Food security is not just about the volume of food on the national plate – it is about whether people can get their hands on that food, what choices they make when they can get to that food...
Mopping Up the Junk Food Mess
In many cities, it is the fast food joints that are working the current, hauling in throngs of passing students and locals who are eating on the hoof....
Safety Nets for the Most Vulnerable
Usually the most vulnerable in a city-dwelling community are the disabled, the elderly and children. And for those who have no breadwinner in the home bringing in some kind of income...
Taking the Burden off the Department of Health
If we are serious about applying the brakes to the region's careening poverty, then we need to drag the issue of nutrition out from under the skirts of the often-preoccupied health sector and find a place for it where...
Targeting Children to Fix Poor Health
The argument that shifts the blame onto external factors in the built environment that make us fat should not mean Mr and Mrs Individual get to abdicate their responsibility entirely....
Why Urban Food Gardening is Not the Answer
Getting city dwellers to grow their own food is part of the solution to the hunger crisis. Urban food growing is also critical because it shortens the food value chain, which not only shrinks the carbon footprint of food...

Coronavirus Pandemic
Read our full response to the coronavirus pandemic, including what we are doing for sellers, buyers, landlords, tenants and our own employees

We offer estate agent service to anyone looking to buy, sell, rent or let a property in the area and across Peckham, Dulwich and New Cross. Our team of friendly staff will give you the help you need. All you have to do to get started is to give us a call, and we'll discuss your requirements.
Here are some of the awards we have won at Hunters Forest Hill & Brockley
About us getting our sellers and landlords the best price
At Hunters Forest Hill and Brockley, we GUARANTEE to do the viewings in person. This is because The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) say it's twice as likely you'll receive an offer if your estate agent conducts the viewings.
At Hunters we firmly believe this, so our bespoke accompanied viewing structure ensures each potential buyer or tenant is given enough time to view your property exclusively with one of our agents. During the viewing all relevant information is passed to the buyer or tenant and they are given an opportunity to ask any questions.
You'll only deal with a professional at Hunters Forest Hill and Brockley. Despite the collective experience of the office team exceeding 60 years (39 years of which have been in Forest Hill and Brockley), each of our team members must study and pass relevant courses specific to their role via our ARLA (www.arla.co.uk/) and NAEA (www.naea.co.uk/) accredited Hunters training academy. This has shaped our staff into fully rounded property professionals, able to handle sales and lettings in a market-leading capacity.
Our team recognises the way your property is marketed could affect the value by a substantial sum of money. For this reason, we consider ourselves expert marketers not just estate agents. We invest in top marketing strategies to maximise exposure, buyer and tenant interest and ultimately, the value.
We include the following as standard for our sales properties:
- 360-degree images - Buyers can view all four sides of each room on our adverts
- Virtual reality walk through - Using a mobile device buyers (and their relatives in who might be in another country) can walk through the property. This is a fantastic immersive experience
- Paid for social media adverts on Facebook and Instagram - Using clever technology we target buyers who are specifically looking for a property like yours. We publish your property on their social media profiles where they can click to see the full details and book a viewing
- Two professionally prepared videos of your property – One is professionally narrated and the other is short and captivating to generate interest on websites such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social websites
- Hunters instant feedback – We deliver constructive buyer feedback to you before the buyer has even left the property
- Hunters dedicated sales progression – Believe it or not the easy part is getting the highest offer. The hardest part is navigating the legal process after the offer is accepted. Hunters have dedicated sales progressors who speak to you, your buyer, solicitors, mortgage advisors, other agents in the chain daily to ensure the sale moves to completion as smoothly as possible. The national fall through rate is approximately 1 in 3 and Hunters have succeeded in reducing this to as low as 1 in 7 due to our focussed approach
Our lettings services include:
- The option for GURANTEED RENT and LEGAL EXPENSE COVER
- No compulsory renewal fees – Although you can return to us at any point to assist with renewals should you wish
- Let only services – We'll ensure your tenancy is compliant and hand the property to you after the tenants have moved in for your ongoing management
- Rent collection services – After the tenant moves in, we'll continue to manage the monthly rental payments to help ensure you are paid on time each month. We'll also advise on renewals and rent increases
- Full management services – After we have found tenants and moved them in, we manage the tenancy, the rent and maintain the property using our approved contractors. This is the ideal service for those landlords that want to be hands off
- Comprehensive tenants referencing on all services
- Managing the tenancy deposit on all services
- Preparing the tenancy agreement on all services
- The option for check in and check out on all services

Local area guide
Forest Hill is a lovely suburb of South East London, in the borough of Lewisham with plenty of things to see and do, but perhaps the most well-known is the Horniman Museum and gardens; which focusses on natural history and anthropology. It also has a distinctive aquarium which has been there since 2006 and a grade two listed conservatory built in Victorian times which is extremely popular for special events and photography.
The extensive gardens cover 16 acres and is host to many events throughout the year giving you plenty to explore over multiple days. The ever-popular farmers market and bandstand which hosts live music are some of the great regular pleasures to enjoy.
In addition to the museum there are two nature reserves – however you'll need to plan ahead as these are typically open only one day a month (one on the last Saturday of the month, the other on the last Sunday).
If the Hornimans doesn't keep you busy how about enjoying a game of golf at Sydenham Hill Golf course or a walk (Cox's walk) through the hidden Sydenham Hill woods both of which are located opposite the Horniman museum and gardens and are considered hidden gems of Forest Hill.
Once you've taken in the museum, the nature reserves, golf and the woods there's a variety of pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops to keep you occupied. As you'd expect from a London suburb there's a little more than the usual to these businesses – vintage styles, artisanal crafts and independent traders abound alongside a revived Forest Hill swimming pool and refurbished library.
To add even greater appeal to Forest Hill you might like the creative history of the art studios on Havelock Walk found in the town centre. Stars such as Beyonce and Jay Z have atteneded these studios. The studios regularly hold open days for the locals to come and appreciate the work taking place.
One Tree Hill and Blythe Hill Fields are also very highly acclaimed recreational ground in Forest Hill. Both have stunning views across London skyline and are well known gems to the locals.
Forest Hill is well served for transport facilities; the south circular road linking you directly to the neighbouring towns such as Dulwich and Lewisham and further afield by a number of key A roads. The train station well connected and is served by both London over ground (East London Line - orange line) and Southern Rail and has quick and direct links to key London stations such as London Bridge, Clapham Junction, Victoria, Canada Water to name a few, making this a great area for commuters.
The local state schools are rated "Outstanding" and "Good" by OFSTED with some rated in OFSTED's top 10%. This includes with two high quality private schools in the area and others located nearby.
As with almost any area of London, the market is extremely competitive and has seen excellent growth in prices (According to rightmove this area is up 6% on last year and 14% on 2014's averages). The overall average property goes for just short of £500,000. All of which demonstrates that this is a great area for investment.

There was a remarkable interview with the great novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard (once daughter-in-law to Scott of the Antarctic and formerly Mrs Kingsley Amis) in the Times recently. Among other interesting observations she talked of her friendship with Charlie Chaplin's widow, Oona, who apparently possessed the largest collection of lipsticks in the world. How extraordinary and wonderful is that! And how did Oona know hers was the most extensive? I feel men are missing out on something unique here: for the price of a bottle of spirits a girl can buy an item that is considerably more than a mere cosmetic.
I used to sell alongside a woman who sported printed silk cocktail gowns to work and who in youth had doubled for Loretta Young. She always said as she painted a wide generous mouth, "you can make up your face as you please but without lipstick, it's nothing; lipstick is the signature that completes the picture." If you'll notice, most "candid" photos of celebrities "without makeup" rarely show the sitter reluctant to pose with a naked mouth. Karen McLeod, former doyenne of Arden and Guerlain, and a treasury of information on this subject, tells me "Lipstick is the most versatile and most womanly of all cosmetics: mood-enhancing, life-changing, it lifts the spirits, boosts confidence and morale. Thoughtfully chosen and expertly applied it flatters your eyes as well as your mouth, gives spirit and life to your whole face…"
Something of the transmutation of this power seems inherent in the well-known sign-off of leaving a triumphant, dismissive or abusive message scrawled in lipstick on a mirror. As it may be, Dietrich's dismissal of Cary Grant's attentions in Blonde Venus; or journalist Evadne Price's scornful autograph across Hitler's bathroom glass – beneath which another war reporter, Lee Miller, had so recently bathed in the Fuehrer's tub. Writing with lipstick is almost as powerful as writing in your own life-blood but conveying authority and confidence rather than despair.
And the colours! the rainbow of colours from nude transparent pink and 1960's white, through taupe, pillar box red, plum, chocolate and black via that tarty 1930's favourite tangerine which looks so irresistible with a dark honey tan and matching painted toe nails. Which brings us to Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice and her lipstick rolling across the floor to John Garfield's feet in a challenging gambit and a wildly mixed metaphor of sex. And here's another thing: lipstick lost none of its impact in black and white movies . Think of what Vogue called Joan Crawford's "bow-tie mouth", Bette Davis's thickly smudged omission of the cupid's bow, Mae Murray's bee-stings and Katharine Hepburn's oblong quivering inverted grimace. The drama, the gloss, the gleam and the punctuation of lipstick worked long before Nathalie Kalmus and the Technicolour consultants arrived on the scene. For along with eyeshadow and mascara, cinema had birthed lipstick, even before Theda Bara stickily mouthed "Kiss me, my fool". Women had coloured their mouths for millenia but the lipstick is a favourite child of twentieth century Hollywood.
So now I'm sitting in the garden smelling a rose which is the exact shade of strawberries mashed up with cream; and which smells of sugar, raspberries, tonka, vanilla and just, ever so faintly, of a very expensive lipstick warmed on the mouth – some olfactory reference whether real or imagined to pollen, honey and beeswax. And I'm amazed, yet again, at the cunning and chutzpah and beauty of Ralph Schwieger's Lipstick Rose perfume which breathes out all these scents, and maybe more. Schwieger's fragrance also succeeds eminently in evoking a very precise sense of colour: impossible that it be crimson, cream or scarlet – it is inescapably a brilliant, shiny satin pink – close to Schiaparelli. Pink, that most uplifting,relaxing and calming of colours. A Gertrude Jekyll or Queen Elizabeth rose, exuding the vibrant powerful perfume of a glorious summer morning when the dew has gone but the sun not yet too high: fresh, fruity, intoxicating and overwhelmingly feminine.
Lipstick Rose is young, like the morning: upbeat, happy, vivacious. In the best sense it's naïve and innocently sexy, without being coy or shy. Frank is maybe the best description – and with a great sense of humour. There is a hint of a lipstick print about it too: that most intimate souvenir traced on a Kleenex, a cocktail glass, a cigarette, a picture. In 1972 we came up from school (despite the headmaster's grave misgivings) to see Dietrich on the London stage: she shimmered at the Stage Door in shocking pink and gold Balenciaga with lips to match – my best friend had the wit to ask her to wipe her mouth on a photograph and I was pea green with envy for lightning did not strike twice…
And there's more. The shine and sheen and aldehydic glitter of the fragrance makes one think not only of the gloss on the mouth, but the elaborate metal casing of the lipstick, the lacquered black, gold or silver which gives out such a satisfying click, like the snap of a handbag clasp – a click like an amen: the contents safe, a mind made up, a life put temporarily back in order,a face painted, composed and ready. With this thread Mr Schwieger cunningly leads us into thinking of an expensive and beautiful purse redolent of suede, make-up, powder, perfume and perhaps a fresh linen handkerchief. Like a conjurer with a silken cloth, he makes a pass in the air and seemingly without effort offers his perfect Lipstick Rose.

There are 3 steps to your inner voice. Listen. Trust. Act. Acting on your inner voice can be the toughest part. There may be times when acting on your inner voice will be easy, and times when it will go against all else.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) is funding the construction of a new terminal at Ghana's flagship airport (Kotoka International Airport) with a $120m facility. The plan is to improve air transport in the country and make it a destination of choice with a yearly target of 5 million passengers once it is completed in April 2018.
Ghana currently only has one international airport and four domestic airports. Between 2007 and 2014, the number of carriers operation at the Kotoka International Airport, Ghana's flagship airport, increased from 15 to 42. This rapid growth currently means that the capacity in Ghana's airports cannot cater for the expected demand growth of air traffic, hence the need for significant investment in the country's airport facilities.
According to the AfDB, the country's aviation sector has emerged as a crucial driving force behind global socio-economic development and even more crucial for emerging economies in Africa. Ghana's aviation industry has witnessed a significant growth in the past decade due to the discovery of petroleum and gas reserves in the country, sustained domestic demand, and increase in the tourism sector.
During a tour of the project in Accra AfDB President, Akinwumi Adesina
"This terminal is being built for a successful economic future. Its large capacity is a confident statement of intent… President Akufo-Addo told me that Ghana is back on the African map as a political and economic force, and I think that an airport terminal facility next year that can handle 5 million passengers per year will be proof positive of that."

Two elderly passengers taken off the Diamond Princess cruise ship because they were infected with coronavirus have died, Japan's Health Ministry said.
They are the first fatalities from the virus-stricken boat, and Japan now has three deaths linked to the Covid-19 illness.
The ministry also announced 13 more cases on the ship, bringing the total to 634, by far the largest number in one location outside mainland China.
The two fatalities, a man and woman in their eighties who are both Japanese, were believed to have been infected before health checks and a February 5 quarantine began on the ship, Health Ministry official Masami Sakoi said.
It was not immediately known if they had any roommates on the ship.
They had been in hospital on February 11 and 12 and each tested positive a day later.
It was not immediately known why they were not tested earlier when they developed initial symptoms and consulted with the ship's clinic, Sakoi said.
The ministry also announced two more government officials had become infected while providing clerical work on the ship to help in the quarantine effort.
Four other officials – a quarantine official, a paramedic who carried an infected passenger, a Health Ministry worker and an emergency relief medical expert – have also been taken ill.
The new virus began in China late last year and has affected tens of thousands of people, mostly in central China's Hubei province.
With the 634 cases confirmed among the Diamond Princess's original 3,711 people, Japan has more than 700 cases, including the country's first death unrelated to the ship.
The Diamond Princess, docked in Yokohama near Tokyo, started letting passengers who tested negative for the virus off the ship on Wednesday, when the government-set 14-day quarantine ended.
On Thursday, hundreds of other passengers were also expected to leave in a massive disembarkation process expected to last until Friday. Test results are still pending for some people on board.
Japan's government has been questioned over its decision to keep people on the ship, which some experts have called a perfect virus incubator. Some medical experts who observed the quarantine process on board also raised caution over lax protective measures on the ship.
Kentaro Iwata, an infectious diseases expert at Kobe University Hospital who boarded the ship as part of a medical relief team earlier this week, said in a YouTube video that he was alarmed by the lack of control measures, including distinction between clean and contaminated zones, and the inadequate use of protective gear.
He called it "chaotic" and said it made him scared of getting infected himself.
Mr Iwata, currently in self-imposed quarantine at a hotel, said the Japanese Health Ministry-led operation implemented some measures, but "to me it was not good enough, because there were exchanges of dirty and clean".
He said Japan should follow the example of the US and other countries requiring an additional two-week quarantine for passengers brought home from the ship.
Health minister Katsunobu Kato initially said those with negative virus tests had fulfilled the Japanese quarantine requirement and were free to walk out and go home on public transport, but later urged former passengers to avoid non-essential outings and try to stay home for about two weeks.
About 440 passengers had left the ship by Wednesday evening, and Japanese officials said more than 1,000 others will be gone by Friday.
The Diamond Princess was quarantined after one passenger who left the ship earlier in Hong Kong was found to have the virus.
Crew members, who could not be confined to their rooms because they were working and causing secondary infections, are expected to stay on the ship.

Very early in the book Yeakley, lays out in plain language how this study was developed, its limitations, and how it should be used. I appreciate his honesty and candor in writing a book that could have been a springboard for church bashing. Instead, Yeakley weaves a humble and loving sentiment throughout the text that says, "May all involved be closer to God after this study." Those involved are of course the people who left, the congregations they once attended, and those who want to make their congregation a safe haven for the lost and dying.
One weakness that Yeakley admits to is the small number of participants (just over 300) that contributed to the online survey in comparison to the overall membership of the Church of Christ nationwide. While the number is not a good sampling, when answers began repeating themselves, it was obvious that a reasonable amount of information had been gathered. Much can be learned from this work.
The book is divided in two parts: the background of the study and then the results. Yeakley opens up most chapters in the results section with personal stories of why people left, but always balances the narratives with obvious notes about how we are only hearing one side of the story; a strong point of the book. The names of the congregations and people are kept private. Yeakley then goes on to give a thorough analysis of the cited issue.
People left for doctrinal reasons, for how they were treated, and sometimes it is the two together. There are chapters on instrumental music (the largest reason people left), homosexuality, and even how churches viewed evangelism. So, a good study will be had on these various topics.
Yeakley is very clear when he says that doctrine should not be changed to please those who disagree. Amen! However what should be taken away from this study the most is the overwhelming idea that we should be careful with how we handle people and the Gospel; otherwise, we may lose those who need it the most.

Taiwan-based LED producer Everlight Electronics Co., LTD. launched the NIR-C19M series with a wavelength of 810nm. According to the company, the NIR-C19M produces the clearest contrast effect for reading the pattern of the iris. The company says that with the new IR LED, the recognition process is precise and quick, and its package design offers excellent heat dissipation. Everlight says that the IR LED is, therefore, ideally suited for iris recognition in security surveillance systems (access control) and portable handsets.
Following the market demand for a way for people to access their devices without passwords or pins, the industry has developed biometric scanners that use the body to grant access. Such biometric scanners have been integrated into numerous devices and systems. Smart biometric identification enables devices to measure the users' unique patterns in their voice, fingerprint, iris, and face to quickly avoid the problem of remembering traditional long passwords.
The use of infrared LEDs for non-contact optical identification offers the distinct advantages of compact size, strong security, and fast recognition. The NIR-C19M series measures just 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.3 mm, and it emits at a wavelength of 810nm.
Everlight employs a molding manufacturing process on the NIR-C19M series. Compared to the traditional glue dispense fabrication process, molding creates a smoother surface which enhances both the appearance and the reliability.
The system uses an advanced ISP image processor along with a CMOS sensor to receive the infrared reflection from the human eye to authenticate iris identification.
Everlight says its unique optical design with a small angle (FOV=25) and a radiant intensity of up to 2,700mW/Sr at less than 1000mA, achieves a clear high reflection rate. Also, the company says that its heat dissipation with a thermal resistance of 4.38℃/W is superior to any competing product in the market. Furthermore, the device has passed the IEC62471, safety regulation to prove that it causes no harm to human eyes and skin.

Cerys Matthews may have originally entered our lives as the wild child lead singer of Catatonia, the Welsh flag bearer for Cool Cymru but that persona is long abandoned. Today you are still likely to find her behind a microphone but rather than singing she's busy presenting on both the television and the radio, receiving awards for service to the music industry and Welsh culture, writing books or organizing music festivals. The wild girl of west Wales has grown up – and she has the MBE to prove it!
Cerys has 3 kids, Red Owen Abbot 7 Glynys Pearl y Felin Riddle 13, Johnny Tupelo Jones Riddle 12. Mam Cymru managed to catch up with a busy Cerys on her way to pick up her son Red from school. Proudly hands on, she was able to have a chat with us ( in between calling out 'aros fa na' (stay there) and 'dere ma' (come here) to her youngest) as they made their way home.
We started our interview asking if she always does the school run?!
My life revolves around the school day and I love that. I love the structure that it gives, it was certainly not something that goes along with being in the arts and touring. I see my main job now as being here mentally and physically for the kids to help them develop into happy and independent members of the community.
Being a performer and touring a lot and trying to juggle all that with your family life must be challenging?
As a parent, I think that you are always looking to do the job as well as you can, but it's never going to be perfect. When I was a young single mum to a 1 ½ and 3-year-old travelling long haul with loads of layovers it had no structure- I was exhausted. My friend told me that if you can get the kids to bed at 7 you can then have the rest of the night to yourself. That was my eureka moment. It seems so simple but it was revolutionary in terms of how we managed. I have always parented by instinct. I always look for ways to improve or learn but I am confident that I am the best mum that I can be.
How do you keep your children grounded when their mother is Cerys Matthews?!
This is easy. Some of the most unattractive attributes in a child go along with being over indulged and not understanding 'NO' or 'YOU CAN'T'. Things that my children are well versed in. Also, no matter what you do as a career you'll never be cool with your kids, and that's how it should be.
You work with your husband and manager Steve Abott both organizing The Good Life Experience and on a daily basis, what tips do you have for others who are considering doing the same thing?
You have to enjoy the same things. I know that it isn't radical or revolutionary but it is important. When you are just starting off in life and in relationships this little piece of advice doesn't always factor. Other things take over or get in the way! If you like the same things it's going to help tremendously when you have to spend hours together. I try and impart this onto my children along with not to start dating until you're 30, never marry, and if you do, make sure that you LIKE the person, never mind about love or lust.
For those of our readers who may not be aware of The Good Life Experience could you give us a rundown in your own words? https://www.thegoodlifeexperience.co.uk/
Well the clue is a bit in the title. It's about having experiences and trying out new things. Hanging out with interesting and likeminded people, whether they are artists, authors, fermenters or foragers. Life seems to revolve around us all amassing things that we don't need and that are bad for the planet. We are all about being hands on and collecting memories, about witnessing craftsmanship and embracing patience. We want to introduce you to axe makers from Manhattan and denim makers from Shoreditch. The festival is a place where you can get singing with a choir, rub shoulders with world renowned chefs, learn how to carve a bowl or go wild swimming. Oh yeah, there is also a wide array of craft gin makers and really good music!
The Festival is held on the Gladstone's Hawarden Estate in Flintshire. Was it a conscious decision to use Wales as the venue?
The Gladstone's are friends of ours and we got talking about how much we all love festivals both as punters and performers. What we didn't like was that it felt that festivals were getting to big and far too commercial. We knew there was space for a festival where children could be children. Where they could run around having the times of their lives and that the emphasis was on feeding your brain rather than just going wild in a field. A place to leave feeling inspired rather than exhausted. The Gladstone's do have an amazing space in a stunning part of the world so it was really a no brainer. We are just collectively overjoyed that we can perhaps give families the chance to spend a few hours away from computers and be physical and make memories. Getting to use Wales as the stage is just an incredible bonus.
Do you raise your children bilingually?
I speak to them in Welsh so that they are bilingual. I am a firm believer that if they can learn another language without knowing that they are it saves them from the struggle that it can sometimes be when they are older. It's also easier to learn another if you can already function in two. It can be difficult though as the language of our house is English.
My husband is learning Welsh, he has been on a course at Nant Gwrtheryn http://www.nantgwrtheyrn.org/cy and used the online resource Say Something in Welsh virtual Welsh lessons but it is the time old problem that the challenge is to use it daily and often. Not always easy in our hectic lives in London!
Do you feel that that the Welsh culture is an intrinsic part of your identity?
Yes, it's a key to unlocking things. Songs, literature, hymns, the Mabinogion, and Saunders Lewis. Without the language, we wouldn't be able to understand all of the different perspectives. What I don't want to do though is diminish the non-Welsh speaking Welsh who are just as Welsh as I am. To me it's a balance of straddling both these tribes. What is particularly interesting to me today, with regards to my Welsh heritage and that of future generations, is the current situation in rural Welsh communities. Where I am from in Pembrokeshire the language is dying because people are leaving to find employment. It's a real concern.
A bit of a nod to Desert Island Discs but can you think of one song that sums you up, that really represents the person you are today?
Louis Armstrong What a wonderful world. It doesn't sum me up but it does sum up my feelings for this wonderful miracle of life
What would be your perfect day?
My Sunday radio show. I love my listeners. I love that I can play my favourite records for people with similar musical taste – and then I would go home and have a roast dinner with Yorkshire puddings with my husband and kids.
With that, it was time to say hwyl fawr (goodbye), Cerys had a little boy bouncing around waiting to tell his Mam all about his day. Heulwen and I were left with was just how down to earth, how intelligent and focused she is.
I also have to add that despite no longer being the lead singer in a rock and roll band and no matter what her kids think, she is bloody cool.
Diolch yn fawr Cerys!
By Ashleigh Edwards, Mam Cymru.

It comes with tons of new features such as snoozing, nudging, hover actions, a confidential mode and a brand new sidebar — it's kinda like a mobile app on the web! In this guide, I'll show you how you can switch to the new Gmail design in less than 10 seconds of your time. How to Switch to the New Gmail Design: 3 Steps Step 1: Jump into your Gmail account. Step 2: Now do you see a little Settings cog icon which is on your top right hand side corner (it's under your Google profile pic)? Great! Just tap on the Settings cog icon. Step 3: Finally, all you have to do is just tap on Try the new Gmail to switch to the new Gmail design. But wait, I don't see "Try the new Gmail" option in my Gmail? If you don't see Try the new Gmail option, then it's probably not up yet in your location. Google does mention that the button will roll out in the coming days. However, if you use Gmail for your job, you'll have to wait for your workplace admin to turn on the option for your company's G Suite, so it's time to go bug your IT department if you need that redesign. 😛 I don't like the new design. It's too complicated for me. How do I switch back? Not everyone is going to like it, or maybe you might need more time to wait it out until the new design becomes mainstream. Then fear not, you can switch back and it's just as simple as how you enable it. All you have to do is just tap on the Settings cog (the one on your top right hand corner) then tap on Go back to classic Gmail. Voila! You're back in your old Gmail design that you're comfortable with. That's it!

It seems that the standard way of doing point lists is to respect the right margin and indent the left margin. I wonder if there are any good reasons except for tradition for not indenting the right side as well. I can think of at least two reasons for why I would want to do it:
- I like symmetry
- When having figures that take up the entire margin space placed freely inside a long point list, for example on the top of a page the effect will be something like this:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Figure 1: bla bla x Point one which makes the figure misplaced x Point two which makes the figure misplaced
In other words the figure looks like it is placed too far to the left when in fact it is placed as the margin and it is the point list that is unevenly indented....

Season 7 Italian Film Festival PremiereJune 10, 2015 at 9:59 am | Posted in Airings and Dubs, News, Original Italian | Leave a comment
Looks like Italy will get a taste of what Winx Club Season 7 is like this month!
Rainbow has chosen to debut the first 3 episodes of season 7 at the Taormina Film Festival, which is one of the oldest film festivals in the country and also one of the most prestigious.
The event will take place at the Teatro Antico di Taormina (that technically stands for antique theater of Taormina) and will take place on the 20th of June at 7PM; and that's not all that's scheduled for the evening either.
Winx Club will kick off the final evening of this festival!
There will be activities for children, a chance to meet the fairies and take pictures and autographs, plus a fashion show with the Winx. Iginio Straffi will also be present at the event.
The poster also confirms that Season 7 will air in Italy in September this year. A synopsis of the season says that it will involve
[…] the six fairies Bloom, Stella, Tecna, Flora, Musa and Aisha engaging in a mission to raise awareness of the inhabitants of Earth and of the Magical Dimension of the importance of protecting animal species in danger of extinction, and respecting all animals.
So, six fairies, huh? I guess that means Roxy's still an extra, unless that's not the official synopsis. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see! 😀
Translation of poster:

Where's the fight?February 12, 2013 at 6:14 am | Posted in 4kids, Airings and Dubs, Cinelume, Enchantix, Music, Nickelodeon, Opinions, Original Italian, Powers and Spells, Seasons and Movies, Winx Club | Leave a comment
[Note: This is a bit of a long rant, and I've included lots of videos and everything, hence the read more link.]
The Nickelodeon version of Winx Club has been hyped up a lot (this is something to do with the fact that it's back in America, on cable TV, and it's not 4kids), but I don't honestly think it deserves that hype. Neither do I think it deserves the overzealous praise it's received from some fans, and nor do I think previous versions of Winx Club, like the Cinelume version deserve the hate some Nick fans are giving them.

Magia Di Winx is now on YouTube! /cheers
Our YouTube channel is currently empty (boo) but we'll be posting episode snapshots in Rai English, and hopefully Italian, so that newcomers to Winx, watchers of the Nickelodeon version, watchers of the 4kids version, you, and all other Winx fans, can live the magic with us!
Oh, also, our email is active again. Apologies to all of you who may have got late replies, some pending from last year. My sister and I are extremely ashamed of that (my sister more so, because she claims she forgot she even wrote on a blog), but we're back and better than ever!
And…we're working on a general-purpose Winx discussion forum! We hope you'll all join.
One more thing. I gave you guys a bit of a tease in the last post about a big, upcoming project. You're all biting your nails and sitting on the edge of your seats, aren't you? /probably not
Again, this project that my sister and I are thinking up is going to require a lot – I repeat, a lot – of Winx fanbase participation. We really, really hope you're going to take part, because Magia Di Winx would really like this project to be a success.
Bit more of a tease – we're hoping to complete it by early April and have it out by mid-April (yes yes, what a tease).
A'right, that's all! Stay tuned for more news on our YouTube channel, forum, and big-top-secret-totally-fabulous-yeah-right project! And if you email us now, you'll get a reply ASAP!
Have a good day. 🙂
Beyond Believix!July 31, 2012 at 6:32 pm | Posted in Airings and Dubs, Nickelodeon, Original Italian, Season 5, Seasons and Movies | Leave a comment
Tags: entertainment, tv
Would you look at that. Season 5 has a tagline – and it's beyond Believix!
This confirms that the tradition of a new transformation every season is definitely continuing, but I'm hoping that we won't have a season 5 transformation add on. I'm sure you all remember Sophix and Lovix. *shakes head*
We now know that the Season 5 villain (Tritannus) happens to be Aisha's cousin. And the plot thickens.
We're eagerly waiting for season 5 here at Magia Di Winx! The magic returns…soon! 🙂
Winx Club Season 5 TrailerOctober 22, 2011 at 8:08 am | Posted in Airings and Dubs, Nickelodeon, Original Italian, Season 5, Seasons and Movies | 2 Comments
Hi everyone, dreadfully sorry for the lack of news from Magia Di Winx lately. I'm afraid that's partly my fault. As you all know, my sister is very busy and I've had quite a lot of homework and pending work lately. To top it all off, I forgot my password. Yep, I'm a procrastinator.
Anyway, here's a look at the fifth season of Winx Club.
The CGI at the end had us all a bit worried, but the OP from Una Di Noi later reported that the series would remain in 2D and there would be no CGI dimensions.
As for the video…frankly, I'm quite nervous as to what the future of my favorite show will be. For one thing, this video is just for promo. MIP COM and BLE are coming up soon, and I suspect Rainbow simply made this video to prove they have something planned. It's quite hasty work.
What do you think?
MIP COM PosterOctober 1, 2011 at 6:39 am | Posted in Airings and Dubs, Official (Stock) art, Online, Original Italian, Pictures, Powers and Spells, Season 5, Seasons and Movies | Leave a comment
It was just yesterday that the promotional poster for BLE featuring season 5 went around, and there's already another version of it circling the intertubes and Twitter.
This one's for MIP COM, which is basically what my sister described as a "media and content event", to find co-producers, directors, etc., and for filming, buying, selling, and financing content.
You can find more information on the event here.
As for the poster, my thoughts on the BLE one apply here too. And another one – I seriously hope this is not what they do with the hair!
For the inevitable question, what do you think of season 5 and the transformation?

I enjoy Sacred Harp music, the history, the people, listening to it, but especially singing it. From our Savannah Sacred Harp's group came a link to this informative 20 minute radio program which also includes some "raucous, energetic" singing. The song at the end is one we sing and I like it. The text is reassuring for sure, but I also like that alto measure where we sing fa, mi, la …"sweet accord". Called "The Better Land" and on page 454 (the way Sacred Harp songs are called), here is the text:
Verse 1: The road to glory seems so long, And sorrows often take my song.
Refrain: I'm going to a better land, Where troubles are unknown, All sorrow will be gone, We'll sing around the throne in sweet accord, Adoring Jesus, our dear Lord.
Verse 2: From Jesus' side I will not stray, I know He'll guide me all the way.
Verse 3: I know it is not very far, to Heaven where my treasures are.

My kind readers should pardon a much shorter and possibly rather addled piece, even after an unusual two weeks' absence. I have had the 'flu. The real old-fashioned sort – "the kind doctors prefer", as those old TV ads used to say. Stinging eyes, blinding sinus headache, a fatal weakness in every limb, legs like boiled pasta, giddiness, fever, a wandering mind and all the rest of it. I don't think I've felt like this since 2002 when I was ill for a fortnight at the time of the death of the last Queen Empress.
True 'flu is unmistakable – you can tell the exact sinister moment when it hatches: and one of the symptoms is, with me anyway, a malevolently distorted sense of smell. While I was really bad, one especial fragrance seemed to take over my entire orbit – of necessity, my bedroom – to a suffocating degree. Being ill takes you right back to needy infancy: I've been feeling like that poor little Dauphin I told you about the other week, asphyxiated by the preternaturally perfumed presence of Mme de Polignac. Perfumes that had no actual existence in reality.
The first weekend I fell ill, I took a warm bath with a dose of delicious healing oil. But something short-circuited and the scent of that herbal immersion stayed with me for the next two weeks, day and night despite many other unfragranced baths, numerous changes of linen etc. It seemed to be coming from within me, as though this frail vessel had become porous. I could taste it in my mouth, smell it in slices of toast. I daresay that, living by perfume, my sense of smell is naturally over-tuned, so that when the normal running of the Good Body collapses, the accurate perception of odours is one of the first casualties. But it is strange: the redolence of that bath is still with me while the secondary infection of a heavy cold now renders any other scent undetectable. Let's hope the sense of smell returns, quickly and in good order.
While my other capabilities have lain dormant I've done a certain amount of reading and, more than anything else, a great deal of "laying there". What I did discover, was a most wonderful book by Elizabeth Grant. "Memoirs of a Highland Lady" was written initially for the author's family circle; then published to great acclaim in 1898. It relates the first 33 years of the writer's life at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Charming, vivId, prejudiced and funny the memoirs are packed with intricate intimate details of meals, clothes, washing procedures and all the minutiae of Regency daily life. I was especially struck by the following line:
"(Julia's mother)…. was the Widow of the Alderman Hankey who died from putting brandy in his shoes when his feet were sore and hot with walking through the City, canvassing to be Lord Mayor: the chill of the evaporation produced apoplexy".
But the idea of pouring in the brandy….! That anecdote that reminded me of the time I overdid the cooling peppermint oil in a heatwave and nearly finished myself off with hypothermia. Exactly the same phenomenon. And then, talking of peppermint, the Highland Lady describes the evening toilette of Willie Cummings, student army surgeon:
"…he dressed himself in his best carefully, and noticing that all the fine young men were scented, he provided himself with a large white pockethandkerchief (sic) of his mother's which he steeped in peppermint water…'There's an extraordinary smell of peppermint here,' said Lord Erskine to Mrs Henry Siddons, as …(Willie)… turned and twirled to pass them, Willie flourishing the large pockethandkerchief in the most approved style."
I hope my sense of smell comes back for Christmas. Meanwhile I'm mentally listing and reliving some favourite fragrances and shall offer these up for your possible interest next week. Hope this finds you "In The Festive Mood"!
