Droom jy oor liefde?
Elke dogter droom oor jou groot troudag of jy in graad 3 is en of jy in matriek is. Dalk is of was jy reeds getroud. Elkeen wat droom kan die volgende oefening doen:

1. Maak jou hande oop, vingers teenoor mekaar en buig/vou die middelvingers inwaarts. Probeer jou duim, wat jou ouers verteenwoordig, weg vat/oopmaak van mekaar. Jy kry dit reg, nê! Dit is omdat jou ouers nie bestem is om jou hele lewenspad saam met jou te stap nie.
e h t l l a t u o k c e s Ch w e n l o o h c s t s late inside 3.
2. Maak nou jou duime weer toe/bymekaar en probeer jou wysvingers, wat jou broers en susters verteenwoordig, weg vat/oopmaak van mekaar. Jy sal dit ook kan regkry, want jou broers en susters sal eendag gesinne/families van hul eie hê en so ook hul aparte lewens lei van joune.
Sit jou wysvingers weer terug bymekaar en probeer nou jou pinkies wat jou kinders verteenwoordig, weg vat/oopmaak van mekaar. Hulle òòk sal oopgaan want jou kinders gaan ook eendag kinders van hul eie hê, hul eie gesinne en families hê, apart van joune. 4. Laastens, plaas jou pinkies weer terug bymekaar en probeer nou jou ringvingers, wat jou eggenoot (jou man of vrou) verteenwoordig, weg vat/oopmaak van mekaar. Jy kan nie! Al probeer jy hoe hard, sonder om jou ander vingers oop te maak!
Hoekom? Want Man en Vrou is bestem om hul lewenspaaie saam te loop, 7x7 sakke sout saam op te eet, deur dik en dun mekaar onvoorwaardelik lief te hê.. . en dis hoekom ons ons trouringe aan ons ringvingers dra!
Hoop elke leser het `n AWSUM Valentynsdag.

Can ART improve scholastic academic achievement? It is a well-known fact that different parts of the brain are involved in the process of learning. The most known being the left en right hemisphere. As each hemisphere has its own unique characteristics of thinking and processing, it has unique needs in relation to receiving information in the right context and format. For the longest time the education system has been designed and delivered perfectly in context for left hemispherical thinking, using words, words, word – text, text and more text. Very few visual images and visual methods including form, shapes and colour has been part of the learning environment. Yet, it is estimated that over 75% of both children and adults use the right hemisphere and spatial-visual images to learn and make long-term memory connections. Considering learning outside of the formal education context, much information is presented in a spatialvisual manner, through technology, television and computers.

out the ability to see, create and decipher visual images, learning will not be possible. It seems that all in all art plays a much more important role in learning than imagined.
However, in today’s day and age, with technology playing an increasing role in education, left brain learners might have to learn the ability to use image, colour and shape in the learning process. As words form the vocabulary needed for learning in the formal educational system, pictures and images forms the vocabulary for learning for the spatialvisual learners. Art and reading are both visual skills. Reading is about deciphering visual symbols. Art is about developing visual skills and learning to see and create symbols. Through the process of art the volume of visual vocabulary is greatly increased and more ways of communication and thought established.

When is enough TV enough?
DIE GEVOEL is goed vir jou
As jy daardie vlinders in jou maag het, het jy meer energie en is jy sommer net Ius vir die lewe. Boonop is eet die laaste ding waaraan jy dink. Klink dit bekend? Met Valentynsdag wat oor die wêreld heen gevier word, val die klem onwillekeurig op die liefde. Volgens Prof Jacques Snyman, kliniese raadgewer van Resolution Health is daar sewe redes hoekom dit so belangrik is om liefde in jou lewe te hê: • Liefde kan jou langer laat Ieef: Mense het nog altyd op mekaar staatgemaak vir oorlewing. As sosiale wesens het ons almal biologiese dryfvere wat ons natuurlik laat smag na ‘n verbintenis met ander. As ‘n mens nie daardie verbintenisse vorm nie, kan dit tot stres en ander faktore aanleiding gee wat jou lewe kan verkort.
and face-to-face interaction with friends and family, these are both key towards creating a stress-free childhood.” Negative effects Children who watch more than the recommended two hours of television per day can suffer from obesity, irregular sleep, impaired academic performance and behavioural problems such as aggression. Excessive exposure to video games is linked with attention problems. “While it might be nice to get your kids out of your hair for a while, find healthier activities for them – the TV should be a treat, not the accepted norm,” advises
Swart. Limit Impose rules about the amount of time a week your children are allowed to spend on electronic devices such as iPads, tablets, smartphones and gaming equipment – “perhaps take the devices away if they do not appear to be respecting the rules,” says Dave. With regards to TV time, it is a good idea to limit this to weekends only; “As discipline and routine goes out the window, create a viewing timetable during the school holidays - this way everyone gets to watch a couple of hours of their favourite programme a week and it’s within limits.” Monitor Make sure to research the TV shows, movies and video games your child watches and plays. “If it appears too violent, includes excessive swearing, sexual content or explicit references, explain why it is not appropriate for them to view it,” says Swart. “Age restrictions are there for a reason.” Tips: • Never place a TV or computer in your child’s room – this can result in irregular sleeping patterns and poor academic performance; • Discourage the association of food with TV time; • Ban excessive screen time;
• Encourage healthy activities such as dancing, football, puzzles and group activities to help build social skills; • Set a good example – when you are home limit how much TV you watch, don’t stay glued to your phone or spend too long online; • Preview programmes and read the reviews, paying special attention to
• Liefde kan jou maer hou: Dit is baie algemeen vir mense om gewig te verloor as hulle met iemand begin uitgaan. “As jy verlief is, vervaardig jou liggaam meer adrenalien wat ‘n natuurlike eetlusdemper is,” reken Snyman. • Liefde verbeter jou geestelike welstand: Mense wat verlief is, het gewoonlik meer energie, wat hulle gretig maak om nuwe avonture en stokperdjies aan te pak. • Liefde verhoog selfvertroue: Mense in gesonde verhoudings is geneig om meer selfvertroue in alle areas van hul lewe te hê. Dis bewys dat die huwelik depressie in mans en vroue verlaag.

• Liefde kan siektes help beveg: Studies het bevind dat verliefdheid siektes soos asma, artritis, hooikoors, sinus en selfs hoofpyn kan verlig. Dit beskerm die Iiggaam teen verskeie siektes, insluitend kardiovaskulere siektes soos beroerte, hoë bloeddruk en iskemiese hartsiektes - drie van die dodeliksste siektes,” sê Snyman. • Liefde gee jou immuunstelsel `n hupstoot: `n Onlangse studie het gewys dat ‘n vyf minute periode waartydens iemand opreg vir jou omgee of meegevoel met jou het, die heIe immuunstelsel bevorder .As Jy nie liefde In jou lewe het nie, is alles egter nie verlore nie. Die studie het gewys dat selfs flieks oor die liefde en om met troeteldiere te speel dieselfde effek kan hê. • Liefde help jou om longer te lyk. Bale studies het al gevind dat mense wat in gelukkige verhoudlngs is, flisies jonger Iyk as diegene wat nie is nie.

Although television, interactive video games and the Internet can be excellent sources of education and entertainment for children, too much screen time can lead to bad health and behaviourial problems. In fact research by Public Health England has found that children who spend more than four hours a day in front of the television and computer screen have lower self-esteem and greater emotional problems. “To ensure your child stays healthy and happy, take the time to understand the risks associated with watching too much TV and monitor how long they spend watching shows and playing video games this holiday,” school counsellor and teacher at Cape Town based Riverside College, Dave Swart says. “Too much screen time means less physical activity

Q: AWSUM Investigator: Where do you come from and where do you lay the eggs? Chicken: We all came through the integrated Nulaid production process with our own breeding farms, hatcheries, rearing farms. At age 18 weeks, when we are strong and healthy, we go to all the Nulaid layer farms to start laying eggs, where after Nulaid grades these eggs and supply our customers with quality commercial eggs and pasteurized liquid egg products. Q: AWSUM Investigator: After your eggs are packaged, what happens then?

30 ml gesmelte botter
We deliver in all pack sizes as per our customer needs and we o supply all market segments in all the provinces. Our product o range consists of all grades of eggs from medium to jumbo and we grade eggs into the following pack sizes: 2x6, 18 eggs, 24 eggs, 30 eggs, 48 eggs and 60 eggs.

125 ml fyn gerasperde kaas
o
30 ml fyn gekapte basil
We wish deliveries could be as easy as in that Leon Schuster movie where chickens ask to be put in the Durban box, but deliveries are done by our own delivery fleet as well as outsourced fleets in certain provinces.

Metode
Klop die eiers saam met die gesmelte botter. Voorverhit die oond. Posisioneer die oondrak in die middel van die oond en plaas die groot oondskinkbord om warm te word. Verwyder dit sodra dit warm is en sprei met `n nie- kleef middel. Gooi die eier in die skinkbord en plaas Q: AWSUM Investigator: Do you think your eggs are the best? terug in die oond. Bak vir 3-5 minutes of tot die eiers gebak is, maar nogsteeds klam is.

How we learn, read and function at near may be negatively affected by poor visual skills, which would have a significant impact on learning. Some visual skills that are important for learning and reading are: • • • •
Eye tracking skills – eyes following a line of print Eye teaming skills – two eyes working together as a team Binocular vision – holding two identical pictures(received from each eye) into a single picture Accommodation – focusing of the image
A visual problem can be mistaken for a learning problem. Through the use of Visual Therapy and/or appropriate use of spectacles can improve required visual skills at all ages.
