Die SAPS Paarl is reg om misdaad te beveg,
hand en tand! Dit was duidelik na ‘n besoek
aan die stasie bevelvoerder van SAPS Paarl,
Brigadier Grobbelaar. Ek het die voorreg gehad
van ‘n uitgebreide toer deur Paarl polisiestasie
en die noukeurigheid waarmee daar te werk
gegaan word was vir my ‘n openbaring.
Huisinbrake in veral sekere sektore (teen Paarlberg) het vanaf Desember 2012 ‘n hoogtepunt
bereik en volgens Brig.Grobbelaar is hul terdee
bewus hiervan en is dit vir hom prioriteit
nommer een. Verskeie arrestasies is in die
afgelope tyd gemaak en dit het duidelik in die
afneem van sekere modus operandi weerspieel.
Die afgelope onluste in landelike gebiede het
baie bygedra tot verminderde mannekrag in
Paarl en omgewing, en dit is duidelik dat die
kriminele element hiervan misbruik gemaak het
en hul aktiwiteite verhoog het.
Volgense wetenskaplike metodes word slegs ‘n
sekere getal geregsdienaars per dorp deur die
plaaslike regering toegelaat en Paarl het reeds
sy kwota oorskry. Die probleem blyk duidelik te
wees by die plaaslike howe wat vermeende
kriminele op borgtog vrylaat en hul so weer
terug in die samelewing plaas. Dit maak die
taak van plaaslike polisiedienste moeilik deurdat kriminele weer na hul ou gewoontes terugkeer. Volgens Brigadier Grobbelaar het hulle ‘n
goeie suksessyfer met die inhegtenisname van
kriminele maar nadat hul hul taak uitgevoer het
is dit in die hande van die howe om die proses
te voltooi. Geregsdienaars bly egter gemo-
tiveerd en hul werk telkens talle ure oortyd in
die soektog na misdadigers.
“Inwoners van Paarl moet besef dat hul vir hul
eie veiligheid ook verantwoordelik is, hetsy
deur die huisalarm deurentyd aan te skakel, die
aanbring van veiligheidshekke waar moontlik
en voortdurende waaksaamheid “ aldus Brig.
Grobbelaar. “ Daar blyk ‘n persepsie in Paarl te
heers dat aangesien inwoners belasting betaal
die taak vir hul veiligheid totaal op die skouers
van die polisie rus. Met die toegelate mannekrag is dit egter so dat die SAPS net soveel
kan vermag en word daar gevra van alle buurtwagte om te help in die voorkoming van
misdaad. ”Brig. Grobbelaar is intensief betrokke
met hulpverlening by die daarstelling van nuwe
buurtwagte. Sektorbevelvoerders word ook in
elk van die 6 sektore wat Paarl verdeel aangestel en verhoudings word met die plaaslike
gemeenskap gebou.
Volgens Brig. Grobbelaar word die maandelikse
algemene polisieforums nie deur die gemeenskap in die bree bygewoon nie. “Ons sien
dieselfde gesigte maand na maand by die
polisieforums, en dit is fantasties. Wat ons egter
verder nodig het is dat die hele gemeenskap
soos een man by hierdie vergaderings opdaag,
indien die gemeenskap saamwerk sal die kriminele element geen sukses in Paarl behaal en sy
visier sal noodwending na ander dorpe verskuif.
Dit gaan oor gemeenskaps-betrokkenheid,
wees ingelig, kom vertel ons wat pla, kom ons
praat .”

Luna Paige – Storielied
Mark Hurter
Die storie van Luna ( Pieterse ) Paige is ‘n storie van
passie, geesdrif, determinasie, liefde vir haar
kunsvorm en ‘n les vir menige van ons met talente
onder die maatemmer verberg.
Ek het Luna by Noop Restaurant ontmoet vir ‘n
onderhoud, ek het toe alreeds haar musiek geken en
het gedink dit is briljant. Dit was egter Luna self van
my aangenaam verras het met haar half kinderlike
onskuld tog ook volwasse uitkyk op die lewe, sy het
immers ‘n Meestersgraad in Welsyns program
bestuur en haar tesis het gehandel oor die gebruik
van musiek as terapie by die behandeling van
dwelmverslaafdes.
Gebore in Pretoria in 1980 het haar ouers nie lank
daarna na die Kaap verhuis en hulself tuisgemaak in
Melkbosstrand. Dit is dan ook in Stellenbosch waar
Luna haar studies voltooi het maar sy keer altyd
terug na haar familietuiste Melkbos waar haar besigheid “ Groovy Concerts ” musiekaande by die Melkbos Buiteklub en by Seaside Blues aanbied.
skrywers se gedigte is getoonset en pragtig musikaal
versorg. Luna gaan later vanjaar ‘n landswye toer
onderneem van al die Exclusive Books boekwinkels
om haar cd to promoveer. Luna is ‘n kunstenares, in
die sin dat sy haar eie werk skep en geleenthede met
beide hande aangryp. So gaan sy in Mei die STRAB
(Subterenean Rock and Blues) byeenkoms in
Mosambiek bywoon en optree, en dan is daar nog
die Afrikaanse Fees in Junie in Den Haag waar sy ook
gaan optree.
Haar musiek is moeilik om te beskryf, maklikste is
sekerlik “ wêreldmusiek”, en met invloede soos Paul
Simon, Rodrigues, Tori Amos en Joni Mitchell
verstaan mens haar seldsame klank en dieper
beweging soveel beter.
Haar cd/dvd pakket is te koop by Anica van Peaches
& Cream, doen jouself die guns, gaan luister op
YouTube en besoek gerus haar webwerf
www.lunapaige.com jy sal verbaas staan. Dankie
Luna, jy het nou nog ‘n bewonderaar.
Luna is ‘n kunstenaar van formaat en ook ‘n besigheidsvrou by uitstek. Buiten haar gereelde toere wat sy
landswyd jaarliks onderneem het sy ook nou begin
met ‘n nuwe konsep genaamd
“ Songwriters Sessions “ wat in die Dorpstraatteater in Stellenbosch een maal per maand aangebied gaan word.
Bekende en minder bekende kunstenaars gaan die
geleentheid gegee word om voor n intieme gehoor
van 50 op te tree en so hul vaardighede te skaaf.
Luna het onlangs tot groot lof haar eerste Afrikaanse
Cd ( sy tree gewoonlik in Engels op ) vrygestel, die
title van die cd/dvd is Storielied en bekende

8 tips to create strong brand identities
By: Subhash Chandra
The Oxford dictionary defines rapport as "a close and
harmonious relationship in which the people or
groups concerned understand each other's feelings or
ideas and communicate well." Almost all marketing
experts agree that rapport is essential to a business'
success online and this cannot be achieved if a company does not have a strong brand identity.
It's this simple - if you don't know who you are and
what your brand represents, how would your target
audience relate to you and establish a connection
with your brand? Further, if you don't know how to
represent who you are online, your audience will find
it difficult to see what role your brand can play in their
lives. You may have a great looking web design, but
does it strengthen your unique selling point and your
value proposition for your market?
If you think your brand is suffering from a mistaken
identity, a weak identity and any other identity crises,
here are ten tips to help you.

3. Create a memorable and appropriate tag line
Just do it. Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.
Think different. Without mentioning other clues, you
already know which brands these tag lines represent.
Next to your logo design, your tag line is arguably the

design a brand identity. Keep it short and sweet. In

your brand can offer.

rapport with your audience.
6. Be consistent
Brands with multiple personality disorders are prevalent and more common than you think, yet there are
more brands who are committing the fatal mistake of
having a schizophrenic brand identity. Do you think
the most established brands of today will be where
they are if they kept on changing their visuals, typography and colors? No. Frequently changing these
crucial brand identity elements will weaken your identity. From your logo design to your web site design,

presents itself.
1. A logo is NOT just an icon
One of the biggest mistakes you can commit in brand
identity building is seeing your logo design as a mere
icon. Your logo is your brand's fingerprint - it should
be unique to your identity and when done right, it
should serve as a powerful imagery that surmises who
you are as a business and as a brand. A great logo
design should take into consideration the mission, 5. Elicit emotions

trust a brand or not. But what will ultimately tip the
scale are the emotional factors.

This is kindergarten marketing. You cannot design a As such, a good practice when you design a brand

8. Know who you are
Lastly, it would be a herculean task to come up with a
logo design or a web design or even talk about how to
design a brand identity if you yourself don't know
where you fit in. Without a crystal clear definition of
what your business is, what your products are, what
sets you apart, what benefit you bring to your market
and what your vision is, brand identity building would
be next to impossible. In psychology, self-awareness is
the first step to self-realization and it's no different
when it comes to online marketing.
Most dangerous countries for journalists: Syria and Somalia
By: Bizcommunity
Mexico the most dangerous country
On-going armed conflicts and insurgency make Syria
and Somalia the world's most dangerous places for
journalists, according to the annual figures on
journalist deaths compiled by the World Association
of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA).
Mexico remains the most dangerous country for
journalists in the Western hemisphere, with six
journalists killed in 2012, as coverage of organised
crime and corruption continue to put journalists in
the line of fire. Despite promises to introduce better
safety initiatives following a wave of journalist
killings, the political will to implement effective measures to protect the media has so far proved lacking.
‘Democracy suffers'
"Democracy suffers when journalists are attacked
and killed for simply doing their jobs," said Vincent
Peyrègne, CEO of WAN-IFRA. "Worse, when journalists are killed with impunity, a clear message is sent
that there is no price to pay for silencing the press.
This is dangerous for freedom of expression and

Culinary Specialists
Die nuwe eienaars van die bekende restaurant Noop is al
nege maande besig om hul stempel op hierdie immers
gewilde en gesogte landmerk af te druk. Zian en Mariette
het die restaurant op 1 Junie 2012 by Abe Conradie oorgekoop en die suksesverhaal gaan voort, soos die vol
bespreekte aande gereeld getuig.
Zian en Mariette het onlangs verloof geraak en stap al 'n
geruime tyd 'n pad. Altwee het by die sjefskool in
Hermanus hul liefde vir kos en die voorbereiding daarvan
geslyp en hul kundigheid spreek in elke dis.
Hermanus het vir die twee harde werkers egter te klein
geword en hul het begin kyk na ander geleenthede.
Verskeie opsies is oorweeg, maar daar is finaal op Paarl
( Zian se tuisdorp ) besluit en Noop was hul eerste keuse.
Hier is ‘n paar vrae en antwoorde soos aan Zian en
Mariette gestel:
1) Maak julle kos by die huis of stop julle gou by Woolies?
Nee, lol, ons stop nie by Woolies nie, by die huis vat Zian
meesal ‘n ruskans alhoewel hy gaande is oor vleis braai. Ek
maak graag ‘n pasta, slaai, of druk iets in die oond.
2) Gaan julle dalk in die toekoms kookklasse aanbied?
Ja verseker! Die boonste gedeelte van die restaurant is
perfek daarvoor, ons oorweeg dit al ‘n geruime tydjie en
daar is groot aanvraag daarvoor.
3) As julle moet kies tussen Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Olivier
of Nigella, wie is jul gunsteling sjef?
Nie een van hulle nie! Die Italianer Giorgio Locatelli.
Briljant en plat op die aarde.
nog ‘n Noop elders oopmaak?
Hierdie baba moet nou eers groot, maar ons is nog jonk,
ons het tyd, enigiets is moontlik…

Ras el hanout is a Moroccan spice consisting of a mixture of
the best spices. It has no definitive combination of spices each person or shop have their own blend. Arabic for
"head of the shop" it can be used in most savory dishes or
mixed into rice. In the past this magical spice included
cantharides but the use of this ingredient was banned in
Morocco in the 1990's.
Ingredients:
Prawns, de-veined
Fresh garlic, chopped
Fresh parsley, chopped
1 Lemon
Olive oil
1 Tbs sugar
Plum tomatoes
Salt & black pepper
Marinate prawns in chopped garlic, parsley and fresh
lemon juice for 1 hour. Fry the marinated prawns in a hot
pan with a little olive oil. Add plum tomatoes and sugar and
toss. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Once the prawns
are cooked, serve hot with either rice for a main course or
with a fresh rocket salad as a light lunch alternative.
4) Beskryf asb jul spyskaart, waarin spesialiseer julle?
Verseker ons wilds-vleis, eend en vars seekosse. Die wildsvleis word oorwegend van die familie plaas in Namibië
ingebring.
5) Op watter ouderdom het jul besluit julle wil sjefs word?
Vandat ons kan onthou!

Deciding on a wedding dress.
Decide on a silhouette. Wedding
dresses are made in several different
silhouettes.
Before
considering
anything else, know which type of
gown will flatter your figure the best.
Look at photos of each type. You can
browse wedding website message
boards and member profiles for photos
of real women wearing gowns, rather
than relying on professional photos of
models wearing them. Ball gowns have
very full skirts and generally will look
beautiful on any body type, unless the
bride is very short and small. In this
case, it may be overwhelming to her
small frame. Ball gowns generally
either have crinolines built in or a slip
you must wear to support the shape of
the gown. Be advised that this extra
fabric can be heavy and bulky and will
require extra care to wear.
A-lines usually have a fitted bodice with
a skirt that flares gently from the waist
to form an "A" shape. They generally
work for everyone as well, and are a
terrific choice for someone who would
like to hide lower body flaws, but does
not want a ball gown.
A-lines are not as full as ball gowns.
Sheaths flatter women with slim,
balanced figures. They shouldn't be
worn by brides who dislike their
figures. This gown will not hide any
flaws. If you think your thighs or butt
are too big, you'll be miserable in this
type of dress. Don't try to pull it off
because you found a gown you love in
this style. You don't want to risk being
uncomfortable or self conscious on your
wedding day, or regretting your choice
every time you look at wedding photos.
Empire waist gowns have a skirt that
falls from just below the breasts.
Although usually listed with various
waistline types and not always considered a type of silhouette, they are a
wonderful choice for a casual, nonformal wedding, or weddings in a tropical climate. They're usually made of
light, flowing fabric. They're also excellent for pregnant brides, because they
provide extra room in the waist, making
them a comfortable choice. They also
won't draw as much attention to the
belly as a dress with a lower waistline
would.

Real Men. Real Depression.
Mark Hurter
Depression is a “whole body” illness that affects your - Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making
body, your mood and your thoughts. It affects the way decisions
you eat and sleep, the way you feel about yourself, and - Persistent physical symptoms that don’t respond to
the way you think about things and the world in treatment such as headaches, digestive disorders and
general. Depression is not the same as a passing sad chronic pain.
mood, it’s not a sign of personal weakness, and it
cannot be wished away.
Causes of Depression.
Depression can make routine tasks unbearably
difficult. Pleasures like watching a rugby match, having
a braai with friends, playing soccer in the park or
playing cricket with your children, even making love
can become joyless and dull. Depression brings pain
and disruption not only to the person who has it, but
also to his family and others who cares for him. Men
with depression can’t just “snap out of it” or “pull
themselves together” as we will explain later-on in this
article. Some men throw themselves compulsively into
their work or hobbies, attempting to hide their depression from themselves, family and friends.
Depression is a REAL medical sickness that CAN be
treated, but without treatment depression can last for
weeks, months or even years. If left untreated, depression can lead to personal, family and financial difficulties.
Depression has many possible causes and is often
brought on by a combination of factors. Sometimes a
particular event may lead to depression; other times
depression comes on for no reason, even for people
whose lives are going well. Some reasons include:
- External events: Financial worries, legal problems,
the break-up of a relationship, trauma, retirement
and grief all result in depression.
- Genetics: Having close relatives who have had
depression or bipolar disorder means you could be
more likely to become depressed.
- Physiological, biochemical factors: Depression is
believed to be caused by a difference in brain chemi
cals. Medical illness, like strokes, HIV and AIDS, and
thyroid problems can also cause depression. So can
some medications, like treatment for high blood
pressure, cholesterol medication, and steroids.
Treatment:
Depression is a treatable illness – 8 out of 10 people
get totally better and the majority of people with
depression improve when they receive well
researched and proven appropriate treatment. The
first step to getting treatment is to seek help from a
mental health specialist like a psychiatrist in your
region. Depression is real, but not untreatable. Seek
help, and claim your live back.
Anti-depressants.
Men and Depression.
While there is still the misguided belief that men don’t
get depressed this is wholly untrue. Men and women
may develop the same symptoms of depression, but
they often experience depression differently and may
have different ways of coping. Men often feel grumpy,
irritable and lose their sense of humour.
They may turn to alcohol or drugs; even physically or
verbally abuse their wife and kids. Men may not recognise their irritability, sleep problems, loss of interest in
work or hobbies and withdrawal as signs of depression. One of the main reasons that depression and
mental illness in general are under-recognised by men
is the stigma attached to mental illness. Many men see
depression as a weakness and are reluctant to come
forward for help. Tragically, twice as many men as
women die by suicide. As a result of seeking treatment, men have been able to get back to their jobs,
families, friends and activities that they enjoyed
before they began coping with symptoms of depression.
Symptoms:
Depression is a real and treatable illness. It can strike
at any age, from childhood into late life. With proper
diagnosis and treatment the vast majority of men with
depression can be helped. Not everyone who is
depressed experiences every symptom. Some people
experience only a few symptoms, some people suffer
many.
Depression:
- Persistent sad, anxious or “empty”mood.
- Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism.
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helpnessness.
- Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
that were once enjoyed, including sex.
- Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping.
- Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight
gain.
- Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down”.
- Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts.
- Restlessness, irritability, anger.
70% of people with depression will get better on antidepressants. If one medicine doesn't work for you, try
another. Ant-depressants don’t work quickly – for
most people it takes 3 – 6 weeks to start feeling better.
It is very important not to stop taking the pills and to
give them a chance to work. They may cause some side
effects like a dry mouth, nausea, headache or dizziness
but these usually go away in a week or two. Speak to
your doctor about any side-effects. Never mix medications of any kind – prescribed, over the counter, or
borrowed – without consulting your doctor.
Counselling:
Counselling with a psychologist, social worker, or counsellor helps you talk about your problems in a safe
place and gives you the skills to cope with your diagnosis and life’s stresses.
woman does. It is not uncommon for a man to
complain to his primary care physician about sleep
problems, head aches, fatigue and other unspeci
fied pain, some or all of which maybe related to
untreated depression.
- Limit the alcohol: An interesting study discovered
that stressed and depressed men turn to
alcohol. The tendency puts men at more risk for
alcohol-use disorders. And don’t forget that alcohol
is also a depressive.
- Find an outlet: Find something that helps you get
your emotions out – fishing, golf,sport. Men are
much happier when they can do something
that is interesting to them.
- Exercise: affects the brain chemicals that
affects your mood and helps control the brain’s
response to stress and anxiety.
- Start talking: Women talk almost three times as
much as men and chit chat triggers brain chemicals
that assist with their emotions. So the more communication the better. Depressed men need to learn
the art of talking to friends, colleagues and family
members again.
- Feel useful: The suicide rate has been shown to rise
and fall with unemployment in a number of countries, it’s safe to say that losing a job can be a strong
trigger for depression, especially in men. Contributing to society, a charity, church or to a family doesn't
necessarily have to come with a paycheck. Whatever
gives you a sense of purpose can bolster mental
health and keep you more resilient.
It takes courage to ask for help:
Men get depressed but tend to hide it well and deal
with depression differently than women. Depression
is often a hidden problem with men, and many men
suffer in silence, rather than talk about their feelings.
Depression is a condition that must be recognized
and treated for men to function on their highest
level. If not treated, it can impair your ability to be
successful.

and Anxiety Group.
Self-help for men.
Self-help is not a substitute to medical treatment, but
it can help you cope better and for longer. Here are
some things you can do:
- Get a male perspective: There are some
wonderful
books
tackling
the
male
perspective.
Among
them: “I

want to talk about it:
Overcoming the secret
legacy
of

depression”by Terence
Real; “Unmasking Male
Depression”by Archibald Halt, and of
course
the classic
“Darkness Visible” by
William Styron.
- Identify the symptoms:
Part of what makes
male depression so
misunderstood is that a
depressed
male
doesn’t act the same
way a depressed
