Balancing work and life means making time for work, making time for family and making time for yourself and when you choose a hobby you can find a way to express your personal interests. Other advantages include time to relax to reduce stress levels, a physical hobby can promote exercise and you can also find new skills and uncover hidden talents. You may also meet new friends, keep your brain sharp or make money. The benefits are endless.
Boland:
Sometimes, the smallest of household tasks are overlooked therefore the New Year signifies a fresh start in the home and is the perfect time to tick them all off your list until the next year rolls around. Here are 10 simple but essential housekeeping chores you might not have remembered to do: 1. Rotate the mattress. Standard mattress guidelines usually tell you to rotate your mattress once every three months (some even sooner), but just doing it once a year is better than not at all. 2. Wash your pillows. Feather, down, and synthetic pillows should be washed at least once a year to eliminate oils, residue, dead skin, and dust that inevitably settle in the pillows and make them sag. 3. Replace your toothbrushes. If you don’t remember changing your toothbrush or toothbrush head within the last six months, change them all, including any toothbrushes you regularly travel with. 4. Replace worn towels, bedding, or linens. Now is a good time to take stock of your inventory and replace, repurpose, or give away any linens that are worn, ripped, stained, or otherwise unused, collecting dust in the closet. It is also a good time to reorganize your linen closet, whether by room, color, size, or season.

If you’re a teen, chances are pretty good that you have some acne. Almost 8 in 10 teens have acne, along with many adults. So what is acne, and what can you do about it?
8. Clean and oil your wooden cutting boards and wooden implements. Now that the season of gluttony is past us and your meals might be returning to a more manageable and normal serving size, give your cutting boards a good scrub using our all-natural solution, then oil them up to ensure they’ll last through the next holiday season.
Acne is a condition of the skin that shows up as different types of bumps. These bumps can be blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts. Teens get acne because of the hormonal changes that come with puberty. If your parents had acne as teens, it’s more likely that you will, too. The good news is that, for most people, acne goes away almost completely by the time they are out of their teens.
9. Donate unwanted household goods. Gather up your unused canned goods, ill-fitting clothes, outgrown toys, obsolete electronics, and recent gifts you have a feeling you’ll never use, and drop them off at the appropriate food banks, charities, thrift stores, or electronic recycling centers.
The type of acne that a lot of teens get shows up on the face, neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest. If a pore gets clogged up and closes but bulges out from the skin, you’re left with a whitehead. If a pore gets clogged up but stays open, the top surface can darken and you’re left with a blackhead.
10. Clean out your receipt drawer. To be prepared for tax time (and maybe give yourself a little motivation), clean out your receipt drawer to make room for new receipts. Toss out any that don’t apply to your tax deductions, and digitize the ones for major purchases (such as computers) for insurance purposes.
increases sebum production). Other myths talk about what helps make acne better. Acne isn’t really helped by the sun, it won’t help it go away permanently — and some people find that the oils their skin produces after being in the sun make their pimples worse. Prevention Wash your face once or twice a day with a mild soap and warm water. Don’t scrub your face hard with a washcloth, and scrubbing may actually make it worse by irritating the skin and pores. If you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it’s labeled “oil free,”“noncomedogenic,” or “nonacnegenic.” Sometimes even though they wash properly and try lotions and oil-free makeup, people get acne anyway — and this is totally normal. Treatment
Sometimes the wall of the pore opens, allowing sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells to make their way under the skin — and you’re left with a small, red bump called a pimple.
A doctor can treat the acne with prescription medicines. Some girls find that birth control pills help to clear up their acne. At Skinlogic the new LED treatment technology is also showing excellent results.
Myths about acne
If you look in the mirror and see a pimple, don’t touch it, squeeze it, or pick at it. It can be pretty tempting to try to get rid of a pimple, you can cause even more inflammation.More important, though, picking at pimples can leave tiny, permanent scars on your face.
There are a few myths out there about things that cause acne — like the one about eating chocolate causing acne. Stress doesn’t usually cause acne either (although it can make existing acne worse because stress
5. Refresh closet sachets, or make new ones. Cedar, lavender, and all other closet or drawer sachets lose their scent (and thus their effectiveness) within three to four months, so it’s always a good idea to refresh or replace them regularly.

Acne: a common teenage problem
windows and doors will eventually fade from the bright, hot rays streaming in (even if it’s indirect light), so it’s important to spin them around 180 degrees (after you air them out, of course!) and expose the other side to sun for even fading.
Live healthy with your own vegetable garden
6. Air out your rugs. UV rays are an excellent (and green and free) source of disinfectant. You can’t exactly throw a rug into the washer, but you can easily haul it outside, fling it over a railing (or on a clean surface), and give it a few hours in direct sun to air it out and kill any bacteria in the fibers.
Wouldn’t we all love to cook with organic vegetables, but our busy schedules force us to buy not so fresh veggies from the local supermarket. Growing your own vegetable garden isn’t only a fun-filled activity, but also rewarding when you can cook out of your garden. We share a few tips with you to get that garden going: 1. Soil For most types of gardens, the perfect soil is a quality light loam made up of nutrient-rich organic matter and a composition of relatively equal amounts of sand, silt and clay. In general, the more organic matter the better.
7. Spin rugs near windows and doors so they get even sun fade. Rugs placed near

Not sure what kind of soil you’re working with? Simply grab a handful of moist (not saturated) soil and squeeze. If the clump falls apart as soon as you open your hand, you’re dealing with a very sandy soil; if the clump stays intact, then your soil contains too much clay. Loamy soils hold together to some degree, but crumble when poked; that’s what you want to see. Once the soil type is determined, you should run a basic soil test to determine its pH as well as the nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous levels. Many universities and extension offices offer soil testing, but home tests (obtained at your local nursery or online) are satisfactory. 2. Which is better – seeds or seedlings? It’s certainly easier to start your vegetable garden by planting directly into the garden, by-passing indoor seed starting and transplanting. However some vegetables take several months to mature from seed, so it’s just not practical to direct sow them in the garden where the growing season is short. That’s why, when it comes to long season plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, most gardeners either start their own plants indoors or purchase seedling from the nursery.
The choice between direct seeding and transplanting seedlings comes down to 2 basic questions: 1. Does the vegetable transplant well? 2. Is your growing season long enough for the vegetables to mature when planted from seed? Vegetables that are usually direct seeded: Beans, beets, carrots, corn, cucumbers, garlic, lettuce, micro greens, peas, pumpkins, radishes, squash, turnips and watermelons. Vegetables that transplant well: Basil, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, celery, chard, chives, collards, eggplant, mustard, onions, parsley, peppers and tomatoes. 3.Garden VS Containers and pots You don’t need a plot of land to grow fresh vegetables. Many vegetables lend themselves well to container gardening. With some thought to selecting bush or dwarf varieties, almost any vegetable can be adapted to growing in a pot. Even if you want your favorite full-size variety, if you give it a large enough pot and plenty of soil and water, it will grow just fine and reward you with plenty. You can use soil in your container vegetable garden, but potting mixes are much better. Peat-based mixes, containing peat and vermiculite, are excellent. 4.No space? Do it indoors! Growing edibles indoors gives you year-round access to seasonal favourites.

Jean de Villiers shares tips on how to Be sure to get your sleep this year An increase in the amount and quality of for one’s health, including obesity, ensure a healthy new year shut-eye should be at the top of everyone’s hypertension, heart and blood vessel “As a professional rugby player, it is very important for me to eat the right food and stay in shape,” says Jean de Villiers, Captain of the national rugby team and Resolution Health Medical Scheme representative. “Apart from the set meals compiled by our fitness trainer when we are on tour, I try to eat four to six small meals which include fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a balance of protein and carbohydrates when at home. Obviously I try to steer clear of junk foods but do spoil myself occasionally with a pizza. After all everyone deserves a treat every now and again.” According to de Villiers, eating foods that are low in calories do not necessarily mean you are doing the right thing for your body. “The foods you include in your diet need to be nutritious and provide energy that is sustainable. For example, when we are doing intense training I take some whey protein and glutamine supplements to help with recovery. It also assists me to be fresh for the next day’s training,” he says.
of golf requires anything between three and five hours of walking, translating into a good workout while doing what you love most. “Training forms a very big part of my life and in a normal week we would have six to 10 training sessions and then a game on the weekend. A typical training session would include spending time in the gym combined with on-field sessions. Each session would last anything from 60min to 120min and the intensity would vary,” says De Villiers. Healthy adults should ideally aim for 30minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per day, five times a week with the aim being to increase the resting heart rate for the entire period. This threshold is usually around 180 beats per minute minus your age, provided the individual is otherwise healthy.
New Year’s Resolution list as numerous studies have proven the physical and emotional health benefit of getting 7 – 8 hours of sleep per night. This is according to Doctor Jacques Snyman, clinical advisor for Resolution Health Medical Scheme.
“Various studies have proven the power of regular, sufficient and quality sleep with results showing a marked increase in memory, learning, creativity, productivity, emotional stability and physical health. In fact, the Ryerson University of Toronto found that curing insomnia in people with depression doubled their chance of a full recovery,” Snyman highlights. It can even help you to lose weight with a Brigham Young University study revealing that higher quality sleep of 8.5 hours a night is associated with a lower body fat percentage. An inadequate amount of sleep can also result in a number of negative implications
De Villiers also highlighted the importance of exercise in leading a healthy lifestyle, particularly in light of a recent survey finding that 49% of South Africans do not exercise at all. “You don’t necessarily have to visit the gym five times a week to work on your fitness levels. You can incorporate exercise into your hobbies as well. For example, apart from my rigorous training schedule, I like to be active during my downtime by playing a round of golf with my mates and walking my dogs. In fact, an average 18-hole round

Teach Your Kids How to Become an Entrepreneur These days everyone wants to how to become an entrepreneur, and with good reason: Being a CEO in your twenties or thirties, or the next Mark Zuckerberg or Mark Shuttleworth, is certainly a far more attractive proposition than being an entry-level employee in a corporation, where promotion opportunities are limited at best. An entrepreneur is defined as “a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.”But
how does the spirit of entrepreneurship develop? And can you, as a parent, instil this spirit into your child’s development? Inspire them from a young age. As a parent you’ll want to encourage any budding business talents early on whether your child eventually grows up to be an entrepreneur or not, the qualities they possess – leadership, idea generation, calculated risk taking and perseverance – are valuable to have in any future career. A fun exercise to start teaching your
child how to become an entrepreneur is to try turn a hobby of theirs in to a small business enterprise. Think of a fun activity that both you and your child can do together and enjoy (baking, arts and crafts, beading, etc.) and create a product that you can try sell at a local market. Getting your kids involved in commercial activities from a young age can have only positive impacts on developing his or her entrepreneurial spirit.
In our generation we were all taught in school that failure is bad.However, in the entrepreneurial arena, failure can be a very good thing if a positive lesson is learned from it. Allowing your children to fail will force them to create new ways to accomplish their goals and learn from their mistakes. This will lead to confident children who know how to persevere when times are tough. To find out more about business principles and being an entrepreneur, contact Wilhelm at 0861643527.

1/2 cup peanut butter or sunbutter 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup coconut oil (or another oil of your choice) 1 cup oats 1 cup total of any combination of: sesame seeds, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips
In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil. Remove from heat and add one cup of oats. Choose your favorite combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP. (I just got out my one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until the cup was full.) Pour in and stir well. Stir well, then spread mixture into a 8×8 or 9×4 pan. Chill for two hours, then cut into bars. Wrap in plastic wrap for a quick grab and go snack!

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Pour into foil-lined muffin cups or individual plastic beverage glasses. Freeze until solid. When ready to serve, thaw for 30-45 minutes before serving. (10 servings.)
Wrap: oven roasted turkey breast, low sodium ham, 1 slice crumbled center cut bacon, 1 tablespoon guacamole on half a whole wheat wrap and tomato mozzarella skewer (cut one lower sodium part-skim mozzarella stick into fourths and skewer with cherry tomatoes alternately) + 8 vanilla wafers.
Save the cheese for the skewers, and opt for tasty guacamole instead of mayo for the wrap. Slice the wrap into medallions and skewer on toothpicks for less mess at lunchtime.

Sip & crunch
Think about what your child likes to eat at home and try to translate that into a lunch box option. Vegetables are often overlooked in the lunch box. Try cutting up some carrot sticks or putting in a handful of cherry tomatoes. While the humble apple is a great lunch box filler (sturdy and hard to squash), consider cutting softer fruit up and putting it into a smaller container for protection. Berries and kiwi fruit survive very well this way. Dairy can be hard to include, particularly in hot weather. If you can’t safely get a yoghurt into the lunch box, make sure you offer dairy when she comes home from school. Last night’s leftovers in a container with a small spoon can make a welcome change to the parade of endless sandwiches. Try putting together a small picnic in her lunch box - slices of tomato, ham, grated carrot, grated cheese and some bread and butter - so she can build her own sandwich. Stick to water in the drink bottle - most juices are full of sugar and make the drink-bottle smelly. They also don’t do a very good job of quenching thirst. Homemade pikelets are a great snack - easy to make ahead of time, they’re filling and don’t require any extra toppings.

York High School
York High’s class of 2013 raise the bar
York High Hostel
The Matrics of 2013 have achieved outstanding results in the National Senior Certificate examinations. Of the 162 who wrote, 162 passed which adds to the impressive number of 100% passes that York has had over the years. Far more importantly, York’s Bachelor rate was 90.7% (147/162) which puts these Matrics among the leaders in the Western Cape. The school was in the top 25 schools and is flying the flag for the schools beyond the Cape Peninsula in terms of academic excellence. When one considers that both the Boys and the Girls First XI were rated in the top ten schools in the country at various stages last year as well, then one can see that all is well in the school with Heart and Soul. Another interesting statistic is that out of the roughly 1150 subjects written by these Matrics, there were only 8 subject failures. On the other hand, there were 18 A aggregates, with 239 subject distinctions. Congratulations to learners, staff and parents! We are very proud of you.
Laughter, joy, dance-offs, competition, melted marshmallows and hot chocolate - these are just a few of the moments that make York High hostel a most sought after experience and are special moments that hostel pods will treasure forever. Hostel pods are undoubtedly the heart and soul of the school. The memories that have been created and the friendships formed will be part of every hostel pod's memory bank. Some photos of hostel pod getting geared for the New Year. Every grade 8 had to ask a grade 11 to accompany them to the hostel dance with the rest of the hostel looking on. Lots of fun, but not if you are the grade 8!

Cheating or tactics that is the question?
Peter Thompson on Western Cape Merit List
We were thrilled to hear that Peter had been invited down to Leeuwenbos to be amongst those learners who had performed best in the 2013 NSC Examinations. 38 Learners were honoured out of the 47000 who wrote. Peter achieved 7 distinctions (all in the 90s) with a staggering 99% for Visual Arts. Peter also served his school as one of the two Student Leaders in charge of Academics and he was also the Interact President for 2013, serving the community. He will be going on to Stellenbosch University this year and we will follow his progress with interest and pride.
The Matric Challenge held on Friday afternoon and evening on and around the Saasveld NMMU campus was a huge success. It is a time for bonding, a time for team and spirit building exercises both through physical activity and metal stimulation. The class of 2014 paddled, hiked, solved problems an generally had much fun getting to know themselves better, their classmates and the staff.

The grade 8’s of 2014 have shown a lot of spunk during the first 3 days at school. In true Yorkie style they slotted in and became part of the York family from day 1. The day before school started and all the grade 8’s met with the school leaders and the matrics and had a fun day with lots of challenges, games and boerewors rolls. Since school started they had to carry around a brick as a companion. We asked some of the grade 8’s what their first impression of the school was. Meg Havey said: "The matrics are nice and help us grade 8’s around. We get lost a lot! We all have a mentor from grade 12 who shows us around the school. I am sure I'm going to love it here at York High." Esona Dingi said: "York High School is huge and I've never seen so many people in one school. My bags have ben so heavy for the past few days because of all the books, textbooks and A BRICK!" Stuart Alcock (Pip) says he arrived at school a bit scared but happy to leave home and hopped into hostel and had some bonding time. He loves being at York Hostel. He says: “Mike my master is the best!”

Where do we draw the line between clever tactics and flat out cheating in sport? School Sport News columnist Jo Lloyd delves a little deeper… Cheating in sport has been getting a lot of attention lately with various extremely high profile anti-doping cases such as cycling, Lance Armstrong and some Jamaican athletes. The question here is when you make certain decisions as an individual or team for a desirable result, win or lose, is this cheating or is it tactical play? You are a swimmer competing in a heat with your sight on achieving gold in the final. You decide that it would be more beneficial for you to get a certain lane in the final. You under perform in the hope of getting your favorite lane. By underperforming you run the risk of not even qualifying but that is the risk you take. You swim the heat and don’t swim your heart out and end up getting the lane that you think would be best for you in the final. You win gold in the final. Is that cheating or tactics? In group-staged round robin tournaments where team 1 plays team 2 of another group lends itself to throwing games in order to play a perceived weaker team in the next round in order to achieve a more favourable position in the play-offs. Is that cheating or tactics? During women’s badminton in the 2012 Olympic Games, several women’s doubles pairs were not playing to win; they were deliberately trying to lose in order to manipulate the competition format. The Chinese team had two women’s doubles pairs entered in the competition. The players Wand and Yu wanted to come second in their group to avoid playing the other Chinese pair. Their opponents, the Koreans, became aware of the manipulation and also started to play badly (Urvasi Naaido, 2013). This performance was in the Olympic Games in front of fee paying spectators as well as a world-wide television audience. Is this cheating or tactics? The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) continues to support and find new ways

of engaging anti-doping organizations around the world in planning, implementing, evaluating, and monitoring their education programs for doping-free sport. At a recent congress of theirs a legal expert from Warrick University, England posed the question: “Cheating in sport, is regulation the answer?” The conclusion was no, not on its own, we need to highlight leadership and values from the top. The message from the conference is to instill values, beliefs and expectations to guide sport and encourage ethical conduct and choices and promote “FAIR PLAY”.
Up, Up and Away will be facilitating workshops in the New Year covering issues of the ethical dilemmas (doping, manipulating outcomes and match fixing) that young sportsmen and women are facing currently. We will assist athletes to understand their expectations and work within boundaries in order to have the confidence to make educated decisions when temptation looms.

Glenwood House School
Glenwood Karoo Challenge Glenwood House School has completed the huge task of organising and executing its fourth annual Glenwood Karoo Challenge (GKC). In 2013, 50 Grade 10 learners embarked on an amazing experience in which they travelled a total of 550km, over 18 days, biking, hiking and paddling their way around the Karoo. They set up camp every evening and different teams were involved in making meals, tiding up, etc. During this time strong bonds were formed, and wonderful memories were made. It serves as an important milestone in the development of the learner’s character. Along the route of the GKC, Grade 10 learners were involved in an outreach programme at a local school. Pupils collected food,

stationery, toys and clothes during the year, and blessed the children at Vermaaklikheid Christian School near Heidelberg with these items. Clean up and maintenance work was also done, and some games and fun activities were enjoyed by all. Headmaster, Mr Symes told learners that the GKC project spearheads Glenwood House’s social responsibility, and therefore it is right that they share with and care for their community and environment. On their return home, learners were welcomed with a hearty meal, a hot shower and the comfort of their own beds, while relating their travel experiences and stories to their families. Glenwood House prefect body is looking forward to welcoming the new Grade 8 class of 2014. The Grade 12 learners put together an action packed orientation program to set the new learners off to an exciting start of their High School career.

Hier het hulle gou geleer wat die ware Struisielewe behels en mekaar leer ken. Meneer Deacon en mevrou De Jager is saam met die leerders De Hoek toe om die nuwe gesiggies te verseker dat die grootskool darem nie so erg is nie en dat selfs die matrieks ook vriendelik kan wees. Daar is van vroegdag af speletjies gespeel, geswem, raad uitgedeel en gelag. Hulle moes die skoollied in rekordtyd leer en net toe die potte dink slaaptyd is naby, was dit die modeparade en sokkie op die program. Die potte moes soos Ouma en Oupa aantrek en die seuns moes die veel meer meisies vra om hul metgeselle by die sokkie te wees. Sommige seuns het sommer vier meisies gehad!Dit het omtrent vir baie rooi gesiggies en skaam glimlaggies gesorg. Die aand is afgesluit met ’n nagmars deur die wonderskone natuur. Die son en hope pret het dalk sy tol geëis toe die moegheid inskop, maar vir so ’n onvergeetlike ervaring moet ’n mens maar wakker bly!
