EC Education devastated by tragic drowning of learners

You Need Posted on by

On 28 November 2017, 58 learners from Mabece Junior Secondary School, went on a grade 9 fare well.  The learners were accompanied by 12 adults, which included the principal.

On arrival at Hluleka game reserve, they reported to the office, where all the learners were given verbal safety instructions.  2 qualified life guards were allocated to the group to ensure the safety of the learners.

On the beach, life guards went into the water, and the learners were instructed to swim between the markers, and not pass the life guards, in other words not enter deeper than the life guards were standing. 

After about an hour, meals were served, and after lunch, the life guards went into the water once again, and the same arrangements were made, in other words stay between the markers, and do not go past the life guards. span style=”font-size: small;”>

After some time, some of the learners screamed that two learners, Someleze Peter and Pheleka Mangqashe, aged 15 and 16, were in trouble.  Life guards were struggling to get to the learners, and eventually found it impossible to rescue the learners.

After some time, the floating bodies were recovered.  The principal and staff attempted mouth to mount , and resuscitating the learners, but it was in vain. Paramedics were also contacted, but the closest assistance was in Mthatha. Eventually the bodies were transported to Nkanunu Clinic. 

Official of the Department have visited the families of the deceased learners, and are assisting the learners and educators in these trying times.

MEC Mandla Makupula, on behalf of the entire department, wishes to extend heartfelt condolences to the families.

Cinnamon Has a Surprising Health Benefit

You Need Posted on by

New research shows that the popular spice boosts metabolism in mouse and human fat cells.

This article originally appeared on Time.com.

If you love cinnamon, add an extra shake to your next meal: new research shows that the popular spice boosts metabolism in mouse and human fat cells.

In the new study, published in the journal Metabolism, researchers from the University of Michigan tested the effect of cinnamaldehyde—the essential oil that gives cinnamon its flavor—on fat cells taken from mice, as well as fat cells from four humans.

They found that exposure to cinnamon oil triggered both the mouse and the human cells to start burning calories through a process known as thermogenesis. A closer look showed that the oil increased the activity of several genes, enzymes and proteins that are known to enhance fat metabolism.

Fat cells, also called adipocytes, normally store energy in the form of lipids. From an evolutionary standpoint, that stored energy can be used by the body during periods of food shortage, or converted to heat during colder months.

But in a society where food and heat are relatively plentiful, stored energy often has nowhere to go and can contribute to unwanted weight gain. Study author Jun Wu, research assistant professor at the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute, says that consuming cinnamon on a regular basis may be one way to make fat cells burn some of that energy, rather than storing all of it.

The study looked at cinnamon’s effects on adipocytes directly—not on an actual human bodies—so much more research is needed to know if cinnamon has the same effect in real people and what the implications of increased thermogenesis really are. And while cinnamon is considered safe in quantities normally used in food, Wu says it’s still too early to determine an effective dose.

MORE: Why Cinnamon Is Insanely Good For You

Wu says that a sprinkle of cinnamon here or there may not be enough to show immediate, measurable effects on metabolism. However, “we speculate that you don’t have to eat a large amount of cinnamon all at once,” she says. “If you eat it every day, we suspect there will be a cumulative effect, and that over time you will achieve these benefits.”

This isn’t the first study to suggest that cinnamon may have beneficial effects on the body’s metabolic processes. Other research has found that the spice appears to protect mice against obesity and hyperglycemia, and that it’s associated with lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Wu says that her team’s research is another piece of evidence in cinnamon’s favor. “After this, I would recommend eating a little more than you do already,” she says. “If you already eat a lot of it, carry on—and if it’s not something you use regularly, it’s a great time to start.”

Broccoli & Feta Omelet with Toast

You Need Posted on by

If you ask us, omelets are an appropriate choice for any meal. The super-simple (and versatile!) dish welcomes a wide range of healthy additions. Caramelized onions? Sure. Slow-roasted tomatoes? Why not. Omelets are basically a blank canvas, so you can add any ingredients you want to bulk up the nutrition and meet your flavor preferences. In this video, we’ll show you how to cook one of our very favorite omelets, made with vitamin-packed broccoli and protein-rich feta cheese.

Whether you’re a fan or not, broccoli is one of the best foods for you. Don’t believe us? The supergreen contains an enzyme, called nicotinamide mononucleotide, that has been shown to slow aging processes in mice. What’s more, research also shows broccoli contains compounds that might help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

While cheese isn’t exactly low in calories, a smart serving of the tasty ingredient (think: two tablespoons) is a perfect way to add an extra hit of vegetarian protein to your omelet, not to mention some melty goodness.

Want to see how you can whip up your best omelet yet? Watch the video above. We’ll show you how to quickly cook broccoli so it softens before it’s added to your omelet. After that, all you need to do is combine the eggs, feta, and a flavor-packed spice like dried dill together in a bowl. Add the egg mixture to your pan and cook for three to four minutes before flipping. Cook the second side for about two minutes, then serve and enjoy it with whole grain toast.

The combination of protein and healthy fats from the eggs and cheese, vitamin-packed broccoli, and good-for-you carbs in the bread makes for a perfectly balanced meal, any time of day.

How to Make It

Step 1

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add broccoli, and cook 3 minutes.

Step 2

Combine egg, feta, and dill in a small bowl. Add egg mixture to pan. Cook 3 to 4 minutes; flip omelet and cook 2 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with toast.

How Liv Tyler Is Working Out to Be ‘Her Most Optimal Self’ After Giving Birth to Her Third Child

[brightcove:5542021042001 default]

This article originally appeared on People.com.

Between filming, photoshoots and caring for her three kids, Liv Tyler already has a non-stop schedule. But the supermom still manages to fit in time to work out, and got right back into fitness after giving birth in July 2016.

“She has so many things to try and jungle but she really is an example for modern day women and female empowerment,” her trainer, Russell Bateman, tells PEOPLE.

Tyler, 40, starting working out with Bateman at his invite-only London gym, The SBC, after delivering her daughter Lula Rose.

“Liv — like a lot of the girls I train — is just trying to become her most optimal self,” Bateman says. “Good sleep, rest and de-stressing all contribute to optimal shape and mood.”

While the workouts are different each time, Bateman has a few favorite moves to do with Tyler.

“Every session is an experience and never boring. Boredom is the enemy,” he says. “We do a mixture of SBC signature movements — like ropes, crawls, lunge patterns — along with more conventional moves with kettlebells and dumbbells and sled work.”

Bateman says that Tyler brings 100 percent to every workout.

“She’s very balletic, and this is coupled with a strong work ethic which makes her a pleasure to train,” he says. “Anything that I say is going to be tough she treats as a challenge, and kills it.”

Tyler’s intense focus, Bateman says, is why her body is better than ever.

“Her results are the culmination of her mentality, good nutrition and hard work when we train.”

Tyler recently showed off those results in a new ad campaign for lingerie brand Triumph, though Bateman says she wasn’t working out specifically for the shoot.

“We don’t really train for shoots or campaigns — we train for LIFE,” he says. “My ideal is that clients I train never really have to get into shape because they are consistent all year round. When I see them its all about progression, goals and contentment.”
