Tips to avoid winter colds - from ALLFORWOMAN NEWS

  • Scrub those hands: Frequent hand washing is the most effective way to prevent cold and virus transmission. Yet studies have found that simply telling a child to wash their hands might not be effective; if parents teach their kids that they are washing off invisible germs, and why, kids are more likely to engage in the behaviour.
  • Drink water: Once the chill sets in, the motivation to drink water might dry up – but children need to keep stay hydrated. This promotes a strong immune system, which in turn helps the body fight off any germs it comes across. Often dehydration is the cause behind a headache or stomachache, so if your child presents with these complaints – give them a glass of water before turning to a pill.
  • Rest: Constant activity and staying up late does not allow one’s body to rest and recover. In order to have a strong immune system, children need down time, even more so than adults. Encourage activity and exercise – but stick to bedtimes, monitor the energy levels of your kids and intervene if they are looking or feeling run down.
  • Tackle flu directly: Children under 12 are one of the most at-risk groups for seasonal flu, which can cause serious respiratory tract infections and fever. It is worth getting flu jabs for the whole family annually.

Brief aan my dogter, Aan my Jody , God het jou gestuur om my 'n beter persoon te maak onthou dit ! "Jy is my gunsteling persoon in die hele wêreld" is nie iets wat jy weer gaan hoor mamma sê nie.

Jy is die een wat my hart wyd oop gebars het . Jy het my geleer van   onbeheerbaar, onbeperkte, onvoorwaardelike liefde . Jy het alles verander. Jy het my in 'n ma verander . En selfs al is jy nie meer my enigste kind nie , sal jy altyd my eerste wees . Jy is die eerste een wat my gemaak vergeet het van myself. Jy is die eerste mens wat ek meer as 10 keer in een dag gese het "Ek is lief vir jou" . Jy is die eerste mens wie se temperatuur ek geneem het, wie se neus ek afgevee het, en wie se kots ek skoon gemaak het. . Saam met jou, het ek my eerste keer

Here goes my interpretation of a shredder machines: First of all let’s get full explanation of these machines : A paper shredder is  a mechanical device used to cut sheets of paper into either strips or fine particles . Individuals or companies use shredders to destroy private, confidential, or otherwise sensitive documents. The different types of shredder machines are : Paper shredders  are used to cut paper into either strips or very small chips   Strip-cut shredders , sometimes called spaghetti cut shredders, are the most basic type of shredding system.  Cross-cut shredders  have cutting cylinders that cut paper lengthways as well as widthways.  Micro-cut shredders are similar to cross-cut shredders, but they cut paper into even smaller chips of paper. They are slower than cross-cutters, but the result is confetti-like bits of paper, so they are a more secure option. Plastic shredders  can be classified based on the process they’re used for: grinders, chippers, shear shredders, gra
