INSPIRASIE VIR DIE WEEK
Zig Ziglar, an American author and a motivational speaker, once said, “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude”, which throws light on the importance of having the right attitude towards life. It is true that if we have the necessary skills but lack the positive attitude in life, we will not go far. Attitude refers to your thinking and outlook towards life - some people are pessimistic and when they fail at tasks, they lose hope and give up, whereas others are optimistic and even when there are obstacles and challenges in life, they do not give up easily. To succeed in life, you need to be determined to reach your goals, despite the setbacks you may face along the way.

THE JIMNY IS A PRACTICAL AND AFFORDABLE 4X4 THAT’S LOTS OF FUN TO DRIVE Like its predecessors, the new Suzuki Jimny remains a small, lightweight 4WD (four-wheel drive) car. Its lightweight keeps it going strong over mud, through sand, and up steep slippery slopes where heavier 4X4s tend to get stuck. The Jimny can climb over most obstacles and steep hills without scraping its bumpers or underbody, thanks to an ample approach angle, ramp breakover angle, departure angle, as well as plenty of ground clearance. From the very first generation, the Jimny has always featured a rigid ladder frame chassis that offers a solid foundation for serious offroad performance. The new Jimny comes with a range of protective advances to keep you safe out in the wild or in the city.

Do you believe in bookfairies? BOOKS | EDUCATIONAL | SPREAD JOY
All around the world, trails of magic and pixie dust are left by book fairies in the form of books. The Bookfairies is a global community cause run by volunteers. According to Emelia Govender they have around 12 000 fairies in over 100 countries. “I together with my two children, Siân and Tayden, are the official Bookfairy in Cape Town and Durban. We manage the various campaigns. We celebrate Independent Author Day, International Women Day, book launches, movies (based on books) launches like ‘Little Women’ and ‘The Secret Garden’ and social media platforms.” “We are fairies. We like to be a bit mysterious and let the magic take over of finding a book (wrapped like a gift, with a ribbon, a note and our sticker) at random spaces and not actually seeing the person leaving the book. We do have mini Bookfairies that we share to encourage parents to show their children and to inspire the love for reading.”

This lovely initiative started five years ago with Emma Watson leaving books on the London Underground and then Cordelia, who is the chief book fairy and lives in the UK, got together with Emma to do a massive book drop for International Women’s Day, March 8, 2017. From there on it evolved from just being in the UK on the London Underground to all over the world in so many different countries. Emma Watson left 100 copies of ‘A Handmaid’s Tale in Paris’, the ‘Little Women’ books in London, books in Scotland for the COP, and the Duchess of Cambridge bookfairied the ‘Hold Still’ book. The Book Fairies were honoured to be joined by HRH The Duchess of Cambridge to celebrate the release of Hold Still, published by the National Portrait Gallery to create a unique collective portrait of the UK during lockdown. The Duchess is a Patron of the NPG and spearheaded this ambitious community project. Anyone can be a book fairy. “You go onto our website, which is www.ibelieveinbookfairies.com and you order your stickers. The only pre-requisite is a sticker, but there are ribbons, badges and the famous green tote bag that Emma Watson carries on her book drops.” It’s also free shipping.

You order your stickers and you can either get a book off your bookshelf or take any book you have, new or secondhand, put a sticker on the front, a little note with a ribbon around the book and you leave it in a place, where there is a lot of people walking past, so the book will be found. They try not to bookdrop religious or books that are too political. Emelia says she have done book drops indoors and outdoors, whilst grocery shopping and at restaurants where she eats out at. There is no special travelling required with being a book fairy. Emelia herself has done book drops in Durban, Johannesburg, as well as in the USA and Europe including Paris, where a South African book, signed by a Durban author was found and taken to Spain. “And from there hopefully we will be tagged where it is next!!!” Emelia says they either use their own books from their personal shelves, buy from independent bookstore, book sales, or get books donated by international publishers, local and international authors, friends, family as well as worldwide organizations like @worldofbooksltd who sent them books for International Women’s Day and Pride Week. “We received donations from Clarke’s Bookstore, and the Women Zone Library at the Arts Theatre and from the Durbanville Primary School, grade 5 class.” Bookfairies do this as they love spreading the magic of reading and it’s a joy to them when authors, finders and publishers acknowledge and support them.

Emelia started being a bookfairy together with her children because they love books and reading. “That is the first reason. The second reason is we love Emma Watson. Thirdly, we thought how wonderful it will be to find a bookfairy treasure. We noticed that there was no local bookfairy so we thought why not us? Fourthly, by magically spreading our love of books/reading we are contributing and making a small difference. ‘In Believing in Bookfairies’ has enriched our lives and has made a positive difference in so many ways. I have recently published a children’s book called ‘The Magical Adventures of Cyan: I believe in book fairies, do you?’ A loving tale of determination, kindness and realistic challenges. All children deserve to see themselves in the books they read. My aim was to write a book that represent a variety of backgrounds.” She thinks it’s important for children to make connections with the lives of the characters and see themselves represented in stories. “We need to get diverse books into the hands of our young readers.” By ordering this book, you can make more diverse, inclusive stories like this one possible, as well as showing the book world that representation for the communities are in fact in high demand. Not forgetting highlighting the magic of the bookfairies. Whether a person is buying this book for your child, loved one, to donate or just to support, they are making a difference in the book space.

ROSA-robot vir knievervangingoperasies ROBOT | TEGNOLOGIE | KNIEVERVANGINGS Mediclinic Bloemfontein spog nou met sy nuutste toevoeging, ROSArobot. Dit is ‘n totale robotondersteunde, knievervangingsisteem, wat ontwerp is vir beter chirurgiese uitkomste. Pasiënte by Mediclinic Bloemfontein kan nou voordeel trek uit presiese en persoonlike knievervangingsoperasies met dié robotchirurgiese assistent. As gevolg hiervan is pasiënte in staat om vinniger te herstel en ‘n groter mate van gewrigsbuigsaamheid te bereik wat hulle ‘n vinniger terugkeer na normale aktiwiteit toelaat.

Totale knievervangingschirurgie is ‘n baie algemene en doeltreffende behandeling vir pasiënte wat aan knieartritis ly. Die sukses van ‘n individu se knievervangingsoperasie is egter gekoppel aan die pasvorm en funksie van die nuwe knieinplantaat. Die nuwe robotchirurgiese assistent genaamd die ROSA-kniesisteem word nou in Mediclinic Bloemfontein gebruik om chirurge te ondersteun om beter akkuraatheid en funksionering as ooit tevore te verkry. Die ROSA-kniestelsel is ontwerp deur chirurge vir chirurge, wat gevorderde tegnologieë bymekaarbring om data voor en tydens jou operasie in te samel en te ontleed om te help met die beplanning en plasing van jou knievervanging. Dit lig jou chirurg in van unieke besonderhede wat verband hou met jou knie wat jou operasie kan beïnvloed, en help hom verstaan hoe hy ‘n chirurgiese plan spesifiek vir jou kan optimaliseer. Knievervangingschirurgie met die ROSAkniestelsel is baie soortgelyk aan tradisionele chirurgie. Die ROSAkniestelsel kombineer presiese data en ‘n robotarm met jou chirurg se vaardigheid en ervaring om ‘n operasie aan te bied wat lei tot ‘n inplantingsposisie wat meer akkuraat geplaas is as met tradisionele metodes. Die robot voer egter nie die operasie uit nie, dit help chirurge met lewendige data en leiding deur die hele operasie, en beweeg net as die chirurg dit aansê. Met tegnologie wat baie aspekte van ons lewens makliker maak, is dit verbasend dat ‘n onlangse opname onder 2 000 pasiënte bevind het dat 38% van pasiënte bekommerd was dat robotchirurgie ‘n langer hersteltyd kan beteken as konvensionele chirurgie.

In werklikheid is die teenoorgestelde waar. Robotondersteunde kniechirurgie is geassosieer met verminderde pyn, laer gebruik van pynverligtingsmedikasie, minder fisioterapiesessies en algehele verbeterde kniefunksie na die operasie. Robotiese chirurgie is ook gekoppel aan korter hospitaalverblyf en laer koerse van hospitaalhertoelating in vergelyking met tradisionele chirurgiese tegnieke. Die ROSA-kniestelsel gebruik eers ‘n reeks X-strale om ‘n 3D-model van jou knie te skep. Op grond van jou chirurgiese behoeftes sal jou chirurg advies gee oor ‘n klinies bewese knie-inplantingstelsel wat die beste by jou pas. Die chirurg sal sy ervaring saam met die inligting van ROSA gebruik om spesifieke besonderhede van jou knievervanging voor jou operasie te beplan. Tydens die operasie gebruik ROSA ‘n kamera en sensor om presies te weet waar jou knie is – dit kan selfs die kleinste bewegings intyds opspoor. Deur regstreekse terugvoer regdeur die operasie te verskaf via ‘n digitale skerm en met behulp van ‘n robotgeleidingsarm, help ROSA jou chirurg om die inplanting presies volgens plan te plaas. Om die beste moontlike uitkoms te verseker, help ROSA die chirurg om die knie te assesseer met die inplanting in plek. Dit laat jou chirurg toe om finale presiese aanpassings te maak voordat die operasie voltooi word.

Werknemers in die busbedryf beplan glo stakings Werknemers in die busbedryf gaan na verwagting volgende week begin staak, wat duisende pendelaars oor die Paasnaweek gestrand kan laat. RSG berig dit volg nadat die metaalwerkersvakbond, NUMSA, weereens nie ‘n ooreenkoms met die Bedingingsraad vir Padpassasiers oor ‘n loonverhoging kon bereik nie. Die vakbond se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die vakbond eis ‘n salaris van R12 000 vir die laagsbesoldigde werkers wat tans R7 800 rand per maand verdien, asook ‘n mediese fonds, behuisingstoelaag, nagskoftoelaag en minder oortydwerk vir sy lede.

DIRECTIONS Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until slightly overcooked and almost breaking apart – this is important for ease of rolling into balls later. Drain and set aside until needed. Using the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring, to avoid burning. Gradually whisk in the milk to make a roux and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently, until the sauce has thickened, 2 – 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheeses, mustard powder and peri-peri sauce. Season, to taste. Mix until the cheeses are fully melted, then stir in the cooked pasta, chopped chives and fried bacon bits. Transfer to a dish to cool at room temperature. Cover with cling film and refrigerate, about 2 hours or overnight. Using 2 shallow bowls, place the breadcrumbs in one bowl. Beat the eggs in the second bowl. Take the macaroni, cheese and bacon mixture out of the fridge, scoop out about 1 tbsp of the mixture and shape into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Dip into the beaten egg, making sure to coat the ball completely, and then dip in the breadcrumbs, ensuring the ball is coated all around. Set aside in a large shallow dish and repeat this step until you have finished all the balls. Place the dish in the fridge while you heat the oil. In a deep fat fryer or large, deep pot, heat the oil to 180˚C. Use a sugar thermometer to check the temperature of the oil if using a pot. Remove the balls from the fridge and place only a few at time in the oil to fry, 1 – 2 minutes, rotating them while they cook. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve the mac, cheese ’n bacon balls warm, garnished with the extra chopped chives and with pretzel sticks inserted in them like lollipops, if desired. – Food and Home Magazine

Help with donations towards Tulip’s operation The Bloemfontein SPCA received a call regarding an injured dog that wandered into somebody’s property. When they arrived at the home they found little Tulip, a male Jack Russell cross, only around five months old. “The first thing we saw was the black rope around Tulip’s neck. Tulip’s tail was wagging and he acted like a normal puppy. When we went near Tulip we saw the swollen closed eye. There was blood and puss coming from the wound. “Tulip was afraid of us, but was friendly towards the caller/owner. The caller informed us that they do not know the dog at all, but she knows the age, name, and sex and even showed us a kennel. The child on the property wasn’t even afraid of Tulip.” The caller explained that Tulip had just arrived at her property with the injuries, but where the kennel was found, there was blood and dog food. “The caller refuses to tell us what happened and said that we should just take the dog and leave.” “We took Tulip to the veterinarian where it was found it had a fractured skull, fractured eye socket, and an eye burst. Tulip sustained a severe hit to his head that caused all those injuries. One can only imagine the pain and suffering Tulip had to endure.” The Bloemfontein SPCA wants to help Tulip with an operation to repair the injuries. Tulip deserves an honest and pain-free future. They desperately need R6 500 for his operation. Could you please help them with donations towards Tulip’s operation?
