It was an extraordinary idea – to catch an ancient steam train from a sleepy country village and travel on a section of the narrow

gauge railway line through countryside immortalised by Alan Paton in Cry the Beloved Country:

There is a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the hills. These hills are grass-covered and rolling, and they are lovely beyond any singing of it. The road climbs seven miles into them, to Carisbrooke; and from there, if there is no mist, you look down on one of the fairest valleys of Africa. About you there is grass and bracken and you may hear the forlorn crying of the titihoya, one of the birds of the veld. Below you is the valley of the Umzimkulu, on its journey from the Drakensberg to the sea; and beyond and behind the river, great hill after great hill; and beyond and behind them, the mountains of Ingeli and East Griqualand. The grass is rich and matted, you cannot see the soil. It holds the rain and the mist, and they seep into the ground, feeding the streams in every kloof.

The village of Creighton, about 30km from Ixopo, has preserved a section of the line that runs through these grass covered and rolling hills to a place called Riverside, where a timber enterprise once flourished but now only the towering red brick husk of a derelict hotel and the rusted steel girders of the sawmill remain, surrounded by shacks of the unemployed.

This is aloe country and every year at around this time, when the aloes are in full bloom, Creighton comes alive as visitors arrive to enjoy the spectacle. The Creighton Station platform is a hive of activity before the train departs for Riverside. Farmers and their families man the various stands set up to cater for the occasion and the scent of bacon, eggs and coffee, subtly infused with coal smoke and steam, permeates the atmosphere as the old engine is lovingly prepared for the short haul trip.

Creighton is in the heart of dairy country and the cheeses produced here are seriously underrated. I bought a block of mature cheddar and another of a younger, peppercorn infused varietal that was so inexpensive and so good, that I regret not buying more.

After a quick bacon and eggroll indulgence followed by a cup of steaming hot railway station coffee, the engine gave an enthusiastic blast on the steam whistle and the great pistons

propelled the odd collection of carriages on their way. We were in the posh seats – generously overstuffed leather couches and upholstered armchairs in the carpeted and wood panelled observation coach at the front of the train (it would become the rear carriage on the return journey when the open observation deck would be most enjoyable). Further back the carriages ranged from a nineteenth century caboose to more modern style commuter carriages from the seventies and eighties.

The track wound through farmland down into the valley of the Ngogwaan River where aloes grow in massed profusion on the steep hillsides and the train stopped for a photo opportunity before rumbling off again to Riverside. Later we would repeat the journey in reverse, but without the photo stop.

We spent the night in what was once a monastery near Ixopo. This proved to be yet another hidden gem with a kitchen that would rival many of the best in the country. After breakfast on the following morning, we took a glorious walk through the countryside to an abandoned brick and yellowwood building at the edge of a picture perfect farm dam. Later, we headed slowly back to Ballito. Traveling slowly is the antidote to modern stress.

There is a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the hills. These hills are grass-covered and rolling, and they are lovely beyond any singing of it.

It’s an easy two and a bit hour’s drive from Ballito and a lovely way to recharge if you make a weekend of it. Get out there and explore!

sOle manDate - Yes or No?

“A home you own is always so much more than bricks and

mortar,” says Harcourts Africa CEO Richard Gray, “and this emotional attachment tends to grow stronger over time. However it can become a serious obstacle when the time comes to sell the property and to make the decision on awarding a sole or exclusive marketing mandate to only one agency.

Giving the exclusive responsibility of selling ones property to a single agent can be a difficult concept to wrap one’s head around, however equipped with the right information there are many benefits in choosing this option.

Will my HOusE nOt sEll fAstER As An OPEn mAndAtE?

In thinking that your property will sell faster on the open market with every agency in town, has in so many cases turned into a nightmare with no one taking responsibility or caring about you, the seller. In so many cases the initial excitement will see a rush of people walking through your home at all hours , but, as time goes by without any offers, your property fades away attracting less and less interest. Because no-one is responsible for the mandate to sell your property, you are left in the dark not knowing that your house is now “out of sight and out of mind”

CAn A sOlE mAndAtE GuARAntEE tHE sAlE Of my HOusE?

In opting to use a sole mandate, the home-owner is entitled to reward commission to the specific agent, if the property is sold within the specified number of days declared within the mandate. “When entering into this legal contract between seller and estate agent, the seller needs to bear in mind that the mandate does not guarantee the sale of the property, it should rather be regarded as a commitment from the agent to perform at the highest standards of marketing and promoting your property”, Richard Gray.

A sole mandate offers exclusivity. It deliberately focuses a pool of people in one place and when people are focusing in one area it then creates competition. Your agent will be working for you and not use your property as a comparison to sell another. Being able to effectively market the property through the right channels is an essential marketing strategy and is a key benefit of mandates- to draw people in and create competition.THe WeBSITe:

A good exercise to see the effects of a house on the open market will be to go to any property website (such as Property 24 or Private Property) and find a property listed by multitude agents. Compare the quality of each agents listing of the same house and read it carefully The results may leave you with a hair- raising view of what buyers are faced with. In many instances buyers will search out the lowest priced listing of your

property and may even be of the opinion that you are desperate to sell the house, resulting in low offers from bargain hunters. Where you property is exclusively listed by a single and reputable agency, the serious buyers will take notice and make contact with the sole agent. Fear of loss and exclusivity will have buyers compete for your property, whereas many and different web-listings of your property will have agents competing against each other in getting your price lowered to attract the bargain hunter. A quick sale for them by driving down the price.

tHE fEAR Of dOuBlE COmmissiOn:

Confusion can arise in a situation where an agent without the contracted mandate gets an offer on a property. It goes without saying that it is going against the Code of Conduct of the estate Agents Affairs Board, when another agent knowingly sells a mandated home. In doing so, that agent will in most cases have to pay the commission over to the rightfully mandated agent. In the event that a seller knowingly accepts an offer from an outside agent, the seller can be liable in paying both agents commission. However, if the correct procedures are followed and the outside agent works with the mandated agent, a “finder’s fee” can be negotiated in which the agent bringing the sale will receive a percentage of the agreed upon commission.

WHO tO CHOOsE?Once the difficult decision

of choosing to work within the parameters of a sole mandate has been decided, an even harder decision presents itself in whom to choose to represent your property. It is the responsibility of the seller to make an informed choice with clear knowledge of agency as well as the estate agent’s past sale record.

“It is absolutely necessary for the relevant questions to be addressed to agents who are being considered for the task. Questions pertaining to their track record of past sales, the names of the last three successful sellers they worked with, the percentage of mandates that they are selling and on average, how long it takes for them to sell a property. It should be an absolute requirement that an agent provides their client with a presentation addressing the questions mentioned,” Gray states.

Armed with the necessary knowledge of the benefits a sole mandate offers, it is at the discretion of home-sellers out there if they choose whether or not to decide on a sole mandate.

At Harcourts dolphin Coast we encourage clients to work within a sole mandate. This guarantees a tailor-

made approach to the sale of your property, which in return equates to the swift offer to purchase from potential home-buyers. We take our commitment to our mandates so seriously, that we offer all our exclusive mandated sellers our written Harcourts Promise to:

•A Detailed marketing plan•Post-inspection Feedback•Written progress reports•Marketing review meetings, and •All offers presented in writing.

Our commitment to you is to prove that a sole mandate is the best option for a smooth and pleasant selling experience.

return from yali Fellowship Programme

Chief Executive Officer of the KZn science Centre, Candice Potgieter, has arrived back in south Africa after participating

in US President Barack Obama’s inaugural young African leaders Initiative (YALI) fellowship programme.

Potgieter was one of eight from KwaZulu-Natal and one of 46 candidates nationally selected from a list of 4 000 South African applicants and 49 000 Applicants throughout Africa between

the ages of 25 and 35. All are active in the fields of entrepreneurship, public administration and community service.

She spent six weeks doing academic coursework and training at the Notre Dame University in Indiana and, together with 500 fellow candidates from across Africa, participated in the Presidential Summit convened by President Obama in Washington DC at the end of July.

Launched in June last year, the

Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders is the new flagship program of President Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) which he launched in 2010 to support a new generation of African leaders. This latest initiative brought 500 of them to the United States for academic coursework and leadership training. Fellows are expected to put their new skills to practical use in leading organizations, their communities and countries.

THE British international distance College has been providing distance tuition to prepare homeschooled students for prestigious secondary

school Cambridge qualifications for over 15 years. They offer Year 7 to Year 12 courses. Students have produced spectacular results year after year in these international examinations.

Their academic staff are arguably the most highly qualified and experienced in Cambridge courses in the country. Their week

by week work programmes, comprehensive study material including textbooks, as well as unlimited telephonic and online support make it clear the British international distance College is the premier institute for secondary distance education in South Africa. Thus far more than 80 students have achieved first place in South Africa (12 of them placed in the top ten in the world including subjects such as english, Maths and Science!) Students sit exams at our numerous, strictly controlled venues around the country

Cambridge qualified students go on to further study in South Africa and across the world. The College offers a large range of subjects including ICT and the Sciences. The practical component of the Science is designed to equip students with

the critical skills required by Cambridge much of which can be done at home. Laboratory work is practiced during the Tutorials held in April and September in Johannesburg.

The British international distance College offers affordable and flexible education of a first world standard, providing students with a unique and industry leading support programme to achieve the best possible results. For more information on this award winning home schooling curriculum, visit the www.bicollege.co.za website, or call 011 706 7199.

liVing and learning the ashton way

AsHtOn intERnAtiOnAl COllEGE has in a short period of five years, grown in leaps and bounds and has achieved excellence in academics, culture and on the sports fields. Ashton

caters for students from Grade 0000 – Grade 12. Students can choose between the internationally accredited Cambridge international Examinations curriculum and the Independent Examinations Boards curriculum. Ashton students boasted an average distinctions of 2, 1% in the matric Exams and 3, 1% in the Cambridge IGSCE exams with a phenomenal 100% matric pass rate.

The Grace Wing – Ashton’s own inclusive autism unit serving children on the Autism Spectrum, is ready for expansion. the Grace Wing is open to students aged 3 – 6 years. The trans-disciplinary team makes use of an eclectic blend of international best practice in autism specific curriculum delivery and therapy to support our students’ journey into inclusive, mainstream education.

After four years of negotiation, CeO André Buys finally acquired 7, 35 hectares of land adjacent to the existing sports fields. The expansion will be completed in four phases over the next five years. Land has been cleared for two new rugby fields and a cricket oval as well as additional parking, all being part of the first phase. A small dam is being built where water will be channelled to this reservoir and this water will be used to irrigate the sports fields. Phase two will see the roll out of the water-based astro turf. Included in the plans is a uniform and stationery shop, a chapel and a conference centre, while the final phase will be the construction of a tertiary block.

SO WHAt is tHE BiG dEAl?

Why does the President of tanzania want to speak to Craparo in person? Why has the White House contacted him directly? For one very powerful reason: academically based out of Wits University (and working for the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture) Craparo has gathered the first ever quantitative (physical) evidence with reliable data sets that confirm and measurably illustrate the effects of climate change on coffee crops. What he has found is disturbing to say the least, and if you love coffee (in any form – espresso, cappuccino, instant, mocha, pad, sachet), you will want to know more about it.

black gold and the child Coffee ranks just after oil in its

value among traded commodities, with Arabica valued highest amongst available varieties. It is the most popular type of coffee globally, making up 60% of the global supply. It is known as the ‘child’ crop of Africa – meaning it needs

a lot of attention, all of the time. All variants of Arabica coffee can be traced back to ethiopia, according to National Geographic, and it is because of this narrow gene pool that Arabica coffee is particularly susceptible to climate change. Arabica too, is a sensitive plant. It needs cool nights to thrive. According the Craparo’s research, which has largely been gathered by live feedback data stations in the highlands of Tanzania, around Kilimanjaro, and the Ngoragora Crater, for each 1-degree Celsius rise in nighttime temperatures, Arabica coffee yields decline by an average of 302 pounds of coffee per hectare. This number is significant, considering the average coffee farmer only owns a hectare of land.

25 million hands cupping the beans thatfillyourcup

Worldwide 100 million people are supported by the 25 million rural coffee farmers that produce, harvest, wash, mill, and dry the beans that eventually produce the cup of coffee you might be holding in your hand at this very moment. Craparo’s research has proven that climate change, causing

an increase in global day and night time temperatures, is affecting production yields. Particularly night time temperatures, to such an extent that many farmers of this ‘child’ crop are pulling crops out completely, and in the place of coffee place, planting what is not only easier to manage, but will fetch the same price as their lowered coffee yields on the local market: largely khat/qat–atypeofshrubwhoseleafproduces a high when chewed. For the coffee industry, this is disastrous. The recipe of climate change, increased nighttime temperatures, decreased production of Arabica plants, and frustrated (already impoverished) rural farmers pulling out crops, has the potential to create a tsunami disaster for the coffee industry.

data into action: the Future of coffeeFaced with decreasing yields, Arabica

farmers and the national governments that benefit from their products will need to implement adaptation strategies to cope with warmer nighttime temperatures, according the Craparo. He says that while most governments have heavily invested in the coffee industry, few have implemented adaptation strategies to help farmers cope with changing conditions. “What we need is a plan of action,” he says, “first of all for governments of course to take responsibility for the human role in climate change, but largely for governments to provide training and resources to farmers to help them adapt to adverse and changing conditions – to teach them how to adapt.” And this is where Craparo comes in again. With the cooperation of multiple governments, science agencies, and NGO’s, Craparo is initiating a results driven process of turning data (his research results) into action. Benefiting farmers with longterm strategies of how to adapt to changing conditions, recognize quality, treat pest and disease, harvest rainwater, in order to continue to maximize their yields, and in turn continue to provide (an in some ways help save) the coffee industry that we love so much.

Alessandro Craparo is one of the most talked about PhD candidates in the world. Not only is he the founder of Science of Coffee (one of the fastest growing names amongst coffee connoisseurs on the North Coast) but his research is literally changing the structure of how governments think about the effects of climate change on coffee bean crops. On the ‘call list’ for BBC Africa, Craparo has interviewed with news and television agencies worldwide, has been mentioned in every major coffee industry magazine, and had his work summarized in agricultural and agronomical research publications globally. IFL Science (with a Facebook following of 21million) recently featured his work as one of the most significant discoveries for the future of coffee, in the history of the industry.

RogeR Lucey - one night in ballito

AmERiCAn folk artist Rodriguez has recently risen from relative obscurity to international

stardom based on his popularity in South Africa in the 70’s. South Africa’s own folk poet who should have risen to stardom here during the same epoch was Roger Lucey. His talent was as huge as his passion for the country that was being torn apart by the oppressive state security machine that crushed him.

Roger Lucey was born and raised in Durban and his musical career took off in the late 70's when he relocated to Johannesburg where he both worked and performed at the Market Café in the first year of this legendary theatre's existence. His first two albums were brilliant but the Apartheid State was offended the liberal messages of peace and hope for a better future and so it effectively destroyed his musical career. Roger gravitated through venues like Mangles in Braamfontein and Le Chaim in Hillbrow where he worked with some great South African bands until he had to change direction due to the pressure.

After taking a camera course, he worked his way into a ten-year career with World Wide Television News

ending up as the Cape Town Bureau Chief. He worked as producer, camera operator and editor, covering news events and making documentaries all over the world. His journalistic career began with the publication of short stories in Staffrider magazine during the mid-70's, followed in the 90's with articles of his experiences in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somalia.

He wrote a book that was nominated for a Booker Prize based on his reconciliation with the Paul erasmus, the security operative who destroyed his career and who came under scrutiny during the Truth and Reconciliation process.

There is a film and a musical about his extraordinary life currently in the offing and his musical career has been re-ignited with the launch of a new album that he is touring the country to launch.

Roger Lucey will be passing through Ballito on this whistle stop tour and you will have an opportunity to join him for an intimate evening of stories and music at the Litchi Orchard on Friday 4th September.

This will be an evening to remember.

NatioNal Women’s Day - 9th august

national women’s day commemorates the 9th of august, 1956, when south african women participated in a march against the pass

laws that required black people to carry documents to ‘prove’ that they were allowed to enter ‘white areas’. over 20 000 women of all races and

ages from every corner of south africa led by helen joseph, rahima moosa, sophy williams and lilian ngoyi, marched together to the

Union buildings in Pretoria on that day and the march was a resounding success.

today we recognise the courage and strength of south african women and in particular, those women who risked everything for

peace and freedom. Celebrate their victory with us on the 9 August - National Women’s Day.

For over a decade the life & style brand has been synonymous with the good life on the KZN North Coast and with the recent addition of radio into the media mix, our reach into the marketplace has given us a unique position. Our combined readership and listenership figures total well over 800 000 per month and market test campaigns with one of the biggest supermarkets in the region have overwhelmingly confirmed the effectiveness of advertising with us by delivering record sales figures in response to targeted advertising.

The life & style brand has been an innovator since its inception in Ballito in 2004, delivering quality content, bold images and creative design to a sector formally dominated by community newspapers that were by comparison rather dull.

You could say it’s a matter of style and at the heart of the life & style design team is a woman of exceptional ability.

Sue Charles is the driving force behind the brand that has become the voice of Ballito and she continues to wield her influence across the various platforms in the stable. She brings a legacy of over a decade of cutting edge practical visual design in the media of film and television as well as major print titles working with a virtual cornucopia of local and international celebrities.

In the late 90’s Sue turned her attention to the hospitality industry when she and her husband Dave built and ran an internationally renowned lodge in the heart of Zulu War country near the legendary mission station of Rorke’s Drift.

Interesting guests that enjoyed the experience included elements of British Royalty and the Who’s Who of local and international celebrity of every description.

It was from here that Sue used her design flair and entrepreneurial drive to inspire Zulu women to create

beautiful things that were sold to a discerning market through her own Ikon Afrika stores as well as through the African Art Centre, the BAT Centre and various other selected outlets.

But country living has its drawbacks when raising a family and this was ultimately what led Sue and her family to Ballito where the life & style brand was launched and continues to grow.

Not one who naturally seeks the limelight, Sue is constantly at work in the background keeping an edge on everything and making certain that everything that carries the life & style brand lives up to the standards she sets and maintains.

With her naturally gentle, quiet nature, she is happy to allow the more exuberant members of the family to operate as the public face of the company, but as anybody who has ever worked with the life & style team soon comes to realise, when it comes down to things that really matter, Sue’s the boss!

•What makes your business special? We offer a full body workout in just 30 minutes! Considering there are more than 4000 minutes in a day, it’s great to know that dedicating just 30 minutes of your time can give you the results that you want! The fact that our coaches are with you at all times also means that our members never train alone! We pride ourselves on knowing our members by name and understating their individual needs motivating them to achieve their fitness and weight loss goals!

•Who inspires you? My darling husband Gary. He is an absolute pillar of strength and his unfailing belief in me and my abilities is amazing! He surprises me every day!

•What do you enjoy most about living on the North Coast? The real sense of community that we enjoy. The Curves community is all about women supporting other women, whether it be in their personal capacity or in business. What I love most about being here is that when we meet new members who have recently moved to the North Coast from out of town, we absolutely love the fact that at a drop of a hat, we can recommend a host of people for them to contact from Schools, to the local doctor, to hairdressers or even someone to help with doing odd jobs around the home! Our network of “friends” and contacts is huge and proves that we really are a small town with a strong sense of community, despite the recent growth in the area!

•How would you like to be remembered? I would love my kids to remember me as a great mom, who loved them dearly and would sacrifice all her time and material things to make them happy! I would love for people to say “Hey, she really cared about people”.

the eVolUtion oF sex aPPeal: From constricting corsets to barely-there

bodysUits, how Fashion's deFinition oF 'sexy' has changed oVer the Past centUry

what is sexy? well, it depends when you're asking.

The ideals of sex appeal have evolved a lot over the past century, prizing women who are stick thin to voluptuous, powder pale to bronzed and tan, full-on feminine to slight and boyish.

But while the standards of sexiness certainly seem to have shifted a lot - with more and more skin being shown as decades have gone by - has what's considered 'hot' really changed so much since the 1900s? Sex appeal has certainly come a long way for women who actually like to breathe freely. In the 1900s, it was a given that women would wear boned corsets under their dresses, which were tied tight enough that a second person was needed to strap a woman in.

The corsets played up the ideal hourglass figure, creating the impression of an S-shaped body - which could be very sexy, even if the word itself was still too taboo to say in regular conversation. Stomachs were sucked in, making hips and breasts look bigger by comparison. The structure also served to improve a women's posture, causing them stand up very straight and stick their chests out.

Also popular at the time was the look of the 'Gibson Girl', as illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson. Gibson Girl drawings featured exaggerated lines, amplifying the curvy effect created by corsets. They also had long, slender necks, which would be shown off with various updos.

Things started to shift in the 1910s, as make-up grew in popularity among the Hollywood set. Max Factor opened up shop, and his foundations were used by some of the biggest actresses. eugene Rimmel invented mascara, and Maybelline began selling a similar product for eyebrows in 1917.

However, wearing make-up was still frowned upon by some, so many women who purchased it would hide it and apply surreptitiously to play up their features, taking cues from the motion picture industry's

trend-setting starlets.That sneaky cosmetics

look didn't last long, though. In the 1920s, bold make-up was not only acceptable but desirable. But women weren't just using it to even out their skin tone or add a pop of colour to their lips - pale skin was the go-to look, so many women used cosmetics to make their complexion look lighter.

But perhaps an even more dramatic change was that womanly curves were no longer 'in'. Girls now eschewed the hourglass shape for a boyish figure, even binding their chests to play down their breasts. That flat, slim look was also necessary to pull off the trendy flapper dress, which hung loose and could look boxy on a woman with curves.

The 1930s, though, saw fuller figures make a small comeback - but women's sex appeal still had a masculine side. Whereas in the '20s it was all about a boyish body, however, women of the '30s went for a stronger silhouette. Following the lead of brunette bombshell Joan Crawford, ladies bought dresses and tops with shoulder pads sewn in, which they then juxtaposed with sultry red lips.

Shoulder pads continued to be popular into the 1940s, with Katherine Hepburn favouring them in both dresses and suit jackets.

But the ideal figure began swinging back more toward the feminine when World War II ended, with higher hem lines meaning women were showing a bit more leg. Pinup girls - who embodied the ultimate male fantasy - showed even more skin than that, with hiked-up skirts, thigh-high stockings, and conical brassieres.

Then, in the late '40s, everything changed - for breasts, that is. In 1947, Frederick Mellinger - the man behind Frederick's of Hollywood - invented the padded bra. The following year, in 1948, he introduced the push-up bra as well. Suddenly, breasts took on a rounder, more natural shape - and women everywhere could achieve a little extra lift, too.

That undergarment innovation brought the

hourglass figure back in a big way, with celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly showing them off in very different lights in the 1950s. While Marilyn's often revealing outfit choices were played up with pouty lips and sensual stares, Grace epitomized a more subtle sex appeal with her full skirts.

Still, ladies like Grace weren't all prim and proper, even if they seem that way today. It's true that they covered up with ankle and tea-length dresses, but at the time, their necklines of choice were quite daring. Low-cut and off-the-shoulder dresses pushed the envelope by highlighting décolletage, and Christian Dior even designed costume jewellery for the purpose of showing off cleavage.

But breasts had always been on the sex appeal radar. Then finally, in the 1960s, legs got their chance to come out and play, too, as miniskirts were all the rage. Bikinis also earned swift popularity, and women began showing more and more skin on and off the beach.

But there was also less skin to show. As quickly as curves had come back in the decade before, they fell out of favour again with many people, as Twiggy's super-slim figure inspired women to shed pounds.

Any volume they lost around their waists was soon added to their hair however, when, in the 1970s, bigger was considered better. Farrah Fawcett became a sexual icon with her feathered locks - and braless fashion - and teenage boys across the US hung her poster in their bedrooms - an indicator of sexual preferences if there ever was one.

The '70s also saw the sexual revolution in full swing, and women and men were both more open than ever about sexuality. In fact, one-night stands are what inspired Diane von Furstenberg to design the wrap dress in 1974, which made it easy for women to get dressed - and undressed -quickly when sleeping over at a man's place.

Through the 1980s, the trend to show more skin continued. On the beach and at

increasingly-popular aerobics classes, women opted for swimsuits and leotards that cut high on the thigh to make legs look long and flaunt hips. In fact, that aerobics-inspired style - think leggings, leg-warmers, and off-the-shoulders sweaters à la Flashdance - all highlighted the fact that fit, toned bodies were considered the sexiest ones around.

In the 1990s, however, the sexy 'ideal' seemed to split down two paths. At one extreme were the waif-like bodies of models like Kate Moss, who infamously declared once that 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' and wore slinky slip dresses that flaunted her tiny frame.

At the other end, buxom bombshells like Pam Anderson made the case that big, surgically-enhanced breasts were the ultimate in sex appeal. Anything that showed them off - including going without a bra - was the way to go.

In the 2000s, the trend toward midriff-baring tops conveyed that thin women were still preferred. Men lusted after - and women tried to emulate - stars like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, who flaunted toned stomachs in tiny tops and low-rise-jeans. Hip bones jutted out, belly buttons were pierced, and bronzed skin abounded.

TheVictoria'sSecretFashion Show was also first televised in 2001, demonstrating the sexy shift from bony runway models to more voluptuous ones in push-up bras and boy shorts.

While being thin and fit is still lauded by men's and women's magazines in the first half of the 2010s, though, there's been a distinct shift back toward the curvy hourglass shape favored in the 1900s and 1950s.

Stars like Christina Hendricks, Kate Upton, and Beyonce are drooled over for having curves that don't quit, which they accentuate in cinched dresses, daringly low-cut tops, and totally sheer red carpet gowns - proving that while sexual preferences have evolved over the past century, they haven't actually changed that much after all.

Fix your Posture.

I sEE a lot of people doing loads of glute (gym lingo for buttocks) exercises to shape their assets without success

when all they need to do is focus on posture.

There is more to posture than pulling your shoulders back and sitting upright. Next time you pull your shoulders back, see if you can do it without pushing your stomach out or arching your lower back. Just pulling your shoulders back can make things worse. Think about the bodybuilder carrying the watermelons shuffling along trying not to drop the carrot. It can even make your abs weak and protrude.

There are a number of posture related reasons that could make it impossible for your glutes to respond. The biggest cause of this is SITTING! Now, sitting isn't just bad for your health, it's bad for your butt too. Why? Sitting causes your hips to tighten up, especially your hip flexors which then inhibits your glutes activating even when you are trying to exercise them. Now I can go into the scientific explanations of lower cross syndrome, anterior pelvic tilt, lordosis etc. but it all comes back to improving your posture.

Try this; with your back against a wall, measure one foot away from the wall. Keep your feet hip width apart, hips and shoulders against the wall. Take a deep breath in, then, as you breathe out slowly push you lower back into the wall while still keeping hips and shoulders against the wall. Repeat 5 times.

If you find this difficult the good news is that you have found the missing link to shaping that sexy behind. The bad news, you have some posture training to do!

Is your training causing dysfunction? In other words, is your training affecting the way that you move normally? Give me a call and let's talk posture exercise: 072 340 1213

Are you working your butt off trying to work your butt off? Do you have to do gym with a tracksuit top tied around your waste?

Just 14% of Claims Made By Cosmetics Firms Are Acceptable, Say Researchers

'HeRe COMeS THe SCIeNCe BIT' must be one of the most memorable catch phrases in a beauty advert. But just 14 per cent of scientific claims made in make-up and skincare advertisements have been deemed 'acceptable' by a panel of experts. The study also uncovered lies about wrinkle creams and revealed that consumers are already sceptical of many products masquerading as miracles in jars.MarketingexpertsatValdostaStateUniversityinGeorgiaand

the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, studied how much truth lies inglossybeautyadvertsinwomen'smagazinessuchasVogueandelle. They looked at 289 full-page make-up, skincare, fragrance, hair and nail adverts from April 2013 issues of seven fashion titles. They divided the claims made in the adverts into different categories, including endorsement claims, such as 'recommended by dermatologists' and scientific claims, such as 'clinically proven'.

Three female judges then sorted these claims into four categories of truth, from: 'outright lie', 'omission' and 'vague' to 'acceptable'. The results showed that 'more cosmetics claims were classified as deceptive than were deemed as acceptable,' the study authors write. They found that just 18 per cent of all the claims made were 'acceptable,' with only 14 per cent of scientific claims found to reach this level. 'Scientific claims tended to be classified as vague or as omitting important information,' the research says.

The study, published in the 'Journal of Global Fashion Marketing: Bridging Fashion and Marketing', reported three quarters of claims made in wrinkle adverts were less than acceptable, with 23 per cent deemed to be an 'outright lie'. It says that most superiority claims, such as 'our award winning product' were found to be false, while performance claims, such as 'your skin feels softer' tended to be vague. 'In addition, most of the endorsement claims were deemed to be acceptable and most of the subjective claims were classified as vague or false,' the marketing experts write.

examples of subjective claims listed in the study, include: 'All you need for all day confidence and 'make visibly clearer skin a way of life'. The researchers write: '…cosmetics companies may be relying on other forms of claims that may also result in the development offalsebeliefsaboutassumedbrand/productsuperiority:thatis,"scientific","performance"and/or"subjective"claimsmaybeservingin the same manner as a more traditional puffing statement…'

The experts found that consumers are already sceptical of product claims. The researchers believe that 'unacceptable' claims made in beauty adverts are failing because they are too vague and because consumers recognise that important information is missing, or that claims lack convincing evidence. 'Specifically, cosmetics claims are considered unacceptable because of a lack of concrete evidence to support the claim as well as the uncertainties attributable to, or affiliated with, the claim itself,' they write.

Individuals may control the distribution of their property during their lives or after their deaths through the use of a trust.

there are many types of trusts and many purposes for their creation. A trust may be created for the financial benefitof the person creating the trust, a surviving spouse or minor children, or a charitable purpose. Though a variety of trusts are permitted by law, trust arrangements that are attempts to evade creditors or lawful responsibilities will be declared void by the courts.

PROtectIOn Of benefIcIaRy’s InteRest fROm cReDItORsVarioustrustdeviceshavebeen

developed to protect a beneficiary's interest from creditors. The most common are Spendthrift Trusts, Discretionary Trusts and Support Trusts. These devices aim to safeguard the trust property while the Trustee retains the property.

fReQUently asKeD QUestIOns RelatIng tO PROPeRty anD tRUsts:

shOUlD yOU bUy a hOme In a tRUst RatheR than In yOUR name / as an INDIVIDUAL? Yes it has its advantages:

- Upon the death of an individual, the Trust and the house owned by the Trust continue uninterrupted. If the property is in the deceased individual's name,itwillformpartofhis/herestateand the beneficiaries and executor will decide what must happen to the house based on the deceased’s will or in terms of the law of intestate succession, i.e. should it be sold and the money divided among the heirs or otherwise.

-Anyrepairs/maintenanceorutilitybillssuchaswater/ratesetc.willbeforthe Trust’s account.

- Further, as the property is not registered in a person's name, the value of the personal estate upon death is reduced. This will result in a reduction of the individual’s estate duty exposure.

- Also, in the event that the asset value has increased over time, this growth will be excluded from your estate and the capital gains tax (CGT) payable on the estate is reduced accordingly.

- executor fees pertaining to these assets will also be eliminated.

shOUlD yOU tRansfeR PROPeRty YOU OWN INTO A TRUST?

Using a trust only for its perceived (potential) tax benefits is inadvisable.

- Tax benefits on Trusts may change for the worse.

- The minister of finance in his 2013 Budget Speech announced proposals which may adversely affect these principles which give Trusts their attractive income and capital gains tax benefits.

- The Trust may not be in a position to purchase - and pay in full - for properties transferred to it, taxation on the balance of loan accounts owed to you will still be done in your hands.

- In terms of the so-called attribution rules contained in the Income Tax Act you could well be taxed on income and capital gains allocated to your minor child and future minor children.

- The transfer of unburdened properties to the Trust will not only be exposed to transfer duty but also to transfer costs and potentially capital gains tax. You should factor all of this in and set it off against potential income and capital gains tax savings.

WAtER or the lack of it continues to dominate our activities with regard to finding

a more equitable and fair way to preserve the dwindling resource. sembcorp siza Water has met with our steering committee following our submission based on input from several community role-players and have proposed an emergency tariff system based on usage per household / unit going forward. While the proposed taiff has yet to be ratified by the district municipality, i can confirm that the idea is to encourage households and other water users to reduce consumption by keeping the current tariff in place unchanged for the first 10kl used per month. Thereafter usage will become significantly more expensive. full details will be published and broadcast in the media as soon as they have been ratified.

We are grateful to those who have worked on this proposal which replaced the fines system that caused so much unhappiness in the community.

Our next plan of action is to

bring high speed fibre optic internet connectivity to you and we are currently engaging with a supplier that has offered to supply this open access infrastructure at no cost to the consumer. This means that you will potentially have a fibre optic connection to your home that will give you incredibly fast and reliable internet speed, increasing the market value of your home. The choice of service provider and connectivity package will be entirely yours with no obligation, resulting in significant potential saving on your current service and much larger freedom of choice. There is no downside to this offer – all we need is an indication of your support for the supplier to agree to install it.

Info on how to do this will be appearing soon on our website which is currently under construction but will carry the necessary links so, if you want faster better connectivity cheaper than your current service, please take a closer look on www.docrra.co.za

Docrra membership will offer you significant benefits going forward so, watch this space!
