Cape Town - Like many South Africans, Laurentia Frans enjoyed her salt. She relished it in her take-aways and deemed a plate of hot chips incomplete without heaps shaken over it.
Then the strokes struck, the first one at the age of 29, and then another in January. The last one caught the dentist from Atlantis, outside Cape Town, off guard.
Frans, who traces a history of hypertension in her family, has completely cut out salt now. "I won't touch salty food on my plate. My husband has had to do the same because we all eat from the same pot. We've had to change our lives. I know what I have to do to prevent a stroke again – you are what you eat."
Frans is one of more than six million people in SA suffering from hypertension and health authorities believe that salt is one of the biggest culprits in the rise of diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes and coronary heart disease.
SA is a salt loving nation, with its citizens consuming twice as much salt as they should, with an average daily intake of 7.8g among black people, 8.5g among those of mixed race, and 9.8g among whites. Consider that the World Health Organisation recommends a daily intake of a teaspoon of salt.
But most often processed foods are the main source of salt consumption rather than what is added at the table. That's why the Department of Health has prepared draft amendments to the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, published in the Government Gazette, earlier this month, that gives food makers until 2016 and 2018 to curb the salt content in their products.
And it's the hidden salt on the government's food hit list, including bread, milk, butter spreads, snacks, breakfast cereals and processed meats, that need to be curbed.
The amount of salt in bread, in particular, came as a shock to Professor Karen Hofman of the Medical Research Council's Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Unit.
Together with a team of Wits academics, Professor Krisela Steyn from the University of Cape Town and nutritionist Edelweiss Wentzel Viljoen from the University of Northwest, she worked closely with government policy makers on the draft regulations.
Their research showed how bread and salt formed a potentially deadly combination in South Africans' diet. Salt affects systolic blood pressure, which in turn is strongly linked to cardio-vascular disease and mortality. Bread is responsible for about 40 percent of salt intake in SA with an average sodium content of about 650mg per 100g.
"The thing about salt (in bread) is that it was added gradually over a decade," she explains.."
But the food manufacturing industry, according to Hofman, is "totally engaged" with reducing the salt content of their food. And although bread prices could go up a cent or two, "we have to ask what the savings in terms of health are".
Children were particularly at risk because they didn't control what they were eating.
"People believe salt makes their food more tasty but you can enjoy food that is not salty." - Sunday Argus
Have better labelling, warn cancer experts
Better "traffic light" food labelling is needed to reduce the number of stomach cancers linked to salt, experts say.
Too much salt is believed to promote cancer by damaging the stomach lining.
An estimated 14 percent of stomach cancers in the UK – one in seven cases – could be avoided by reducing salt intake to recommended levels, it is claimed.
People in the UK consume an average of 8.6g daily, much of it hidden in processed food.
This is 43 percent higher than the maximum recommended amount of 6g, equivalent to one level teaspoonful.
A standardised form of colour-coded "traffic light" food labelling would help consumers monitor their consumption of salt, sugar and fat, according to the World Cancer Research Fund.
Kate Mendoza, head of information at the charity, said: "Stomach cancer is difficult to treat successfully, because most cases are not caught until the disease is well-established.
"This places even greater emphasis on making lifestyle choices to prevent the disease occurring in the first place – such as cutting down on salt intake and eating more fruit and vegetables."
The fund would like to see labelling on food and drink packaging to give guidance on levels of salt.
"Standardised labelling among retailers and manufacturers – rather than the different voluntary systems currently in place – would help consumers make better-informed and healthy choices." – Belfast Telegraph

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am in a dispute with my HOA. There is a long -term trespassing dispute where they have installed equipment on my property outside of an easement. I sent them a bill, which has been ignored. To retaliate, they have voted to remove me from the membership completely. Can they do this? The last version of CCRs that I have says only that they can restrict one's right to vote. They seem to change rules and regulations willy nilly to suit their whim or to avoid dealing with issues.
No, if the real property is subject to recorded CC&Rs, membership in the HOA is not optional.
It appears you need an attorney to review, analyze and explain the CC&Rs to you to ascertain your rights and remedies.

Every Sunday night the local PBS affiliates plays a set of British sit-com classics. The third one is called "As Time Goes By". According to IMDB, "Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer) and Jean (Judi Dench) were lovers many years ago at the time of the Korean War. They are separated by a misunderstanding but meet again [years later] by chance." It isn't the funniest of the four, but its plot is solid. We watch them fall in love again. They had both moved on, many missing years separated them. We watch as they struggle to reconnect in their later years, in a brave new world of the 1990s, and with grown children of their own. Its probably the least funny, going for subtle realism comedy over the slap-stick and puns of the others, but I still watch it week after week.
In this season of Lent, I find myself separated from my love, and in a struggle to reconnect to it.
I was like most of you, just a kid going up in a church with a funny name: Nazarene. The 30-minute drive down Interstate 35 from Overland Park to Olathe takes forever when you are 4 years old. But every Sunday morning and night, then once more on Wednesday, I could be found some where inside Olathe College Church. I did what everyone else my age did. With the exception of winning the pine wood derby contest and a few "big parts" in the children's musical, I was perfectly ordinary. Homely if you will. I went to "Big Church" with my parents and passed notes the whole time. I was in the Victor just like everyone else at CCN. In junior high I raised money to go on mission trips. I did what I was supposed to do. Some might say, I was literally the poster boy for NYI.
It was at that giant church in Olathe that I fell in love with a Jesus who did counter-cultural things, who taught that forgiveness and peace were better ways to make sense of the world. I fell in love with the Church, and how it ebbed and flowed with the seasons. How it created ways for people to connect to others. I fell in love with being a part of something so much bigger than myself.
Then the winds changed; a dust storm. I was naive enough to think that I could escape the storm unharmed. My expectation did not meet my reality. I was confronted with the reality that the policy trumps people. I was naive enough to think they would bend the rules for me. That this time it would be different. I wasn't some outsider. I grew up here. I can show you where I was sitting when I left to go pray at the altar and ask Jesus into my life. Just a few feet away is where I stood when I was given Minister's License. The chaos of the storm separated me from my Church. I could have converted the entire planet to Christianity, but it would have been meaningless to those in Lenexa because of one issue: my sexual orientation.
Because this issue has been blown out of proportion, I feel like that's all anyone sees me as, a gay rebel-rouser who should stop complaining because "I knew the rules when I signed up." In the solitude of Lent, and in the darkness of my personal Gethsemane I ask God questions I am too afraid to speak publicly:
"If Christians see me as terrible, maybe God sees me this way too…"
"Why did You make me gay?"
"Why did I even start this foolish blog?"
"Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it is sinful to be gay…"
"Am I doing any good for You or the Church? Or am I just like that "reformed" guy but barking on the other side of issues?"
Lent's introspection has forced me to deal with the spiritual pains of this separation. Will I ever get back to the church of my childhood? Will I find my childlike wonder in a new denomination? Or will I be forever jaded because of this whole experience? It is hard to separate the good from the bad in my memories. Even more difficult is determining what was real and what was fake about my Christianity. Bittersweet memories of a time gone by. There are times when I want to walk away from it all. Those questions circle my thoughts like vultures in the desert. Without a community of support it is harder and harder to fight them off when they land. It's been 4 years, seems like 40, have we done anything? I've spent the last 4 years trying to hold on to a shadow. The dust from the storm settles, and I realize just how far removed I am.
For many gays, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer Christians, it is easy to get stuck here; in the separation. In the emotional rawness of being rejected by people you thought were on your side, but weren't, or not fully, or are now but not when you needed them. The deeper the cut the longer it takes to heal and so we linger in the separation. But even those of us who once called the Nazarenes their own, need to be reminded that Easter is coming. The pain and hurt won't last forever.
Like Lionel and Jean were reunited. Things were different between them, years had passed, but their love was still there. When Easter arrives, it heals wounds, eases pain, and helps us forgive. It will look different for everyone. My hope is they will, at their own speed get there. Getting closure doesn't mean rushing back to the Church of the Nazarene. In fact, it may mean staying very far away. I just worry that some of us won't get that closure, and will stay in the bitterness. Healing and closure, in all their varied forms, are our destinations.
Where am I now? I'm not sure… I wish I did. Until then, I'll pray that the Lord will protect me, and those with stories like mine, from bitterness and that I will act in ways that bring the Kingdom of God closer to earth, that's about all I know to do. For me, when Easter does arrive, it'll will be a much anticipated reunion.

Newsstand is a folder on your iPad that allows you to organise and view all of your newspaper and magazine subscriptions in one place. When you install the latest version of The Telegraph for iPad app, it goes directly into your Newsstand folder.
I've updated to the Telegraph for iPad version 2.4 but the app is no longer on my home screen
Version 2.4.1 of the The Telegraph app is only available via Newsstand therefore you will need to look for the 'Newsstand' folder on your home screen to access it.

iOS 5 is the operating system or 'engine' that runs Apple's mobile and tablet devices. You can find out whether you are on the latest version of this operating system by going to 'Settings' on your iPad, then 'General', then 'About' and checking under 'Version' – if this is 5.0 or above then you are on the correct version and The Telegraph app will appear in Newsstand.
How do I upgrade to the correct iOS version?
When you connect your iPad to a Mac or PC and open up iTunes, you will be notified with a pop up when there is an update available to download. Click on 'Download and Update', accept the terms and conditions and your update will start automatically – this usually takes about 10 minutes.
If a pop does not appear automatically, follow these steps:
• Open up Tunes on your computer and plug your iPad into it using the USB cable that came with it
• Select your device when it appears in iTunes under 'Devices'
• Click on 'Check for Update' in the 'Summary panel' to check for available updates
• If an update is available, iTunes will prompt you to 'Download and Update' your software. This may take around 10 minutes, depending on the speed of your computer, so make sure you keep your device connected until the update has finished.
Watch our guide to updating your iPad to the latest software.
How do I access The Telegraph every day once the Newsstand version is launched?

The US state of Maryland's highest court has overturned jury verdicts that ordered Exxon Mobil to pay more than $US1.5 billion ($1.47 billion) in damages for a 2006 petrol station leak that polluted a community's drinking water.
The Court of Appeals of Maryland on Tuesday issued two rulings, ordering new trials in cases related to the spill.
The larger of the two cases was brought by 150 families and businesses.
In 2011, a jury awarded $US1 billion in punitive damages and $US495 million in compensatory damages after a trial that lasted months.
On Tuesday, the court overturned the punitive damages, saying they could only be awarded if the plaintiffs proved that the Irving, Texas-based company had intended to act wrongfully.
The judges did not find that to be the case.

WOW Amazon has an Toshiba 50L2200U 50-Inch 60Hz LED-LCD HDTV marked down from $899 to only $449 with free shipping. This particular model is selling for $700 everywhere else and has excellent reviews!
My rule of thumb on TVs is $10 per inch is a good price. This is WELL below that so I would hurry, these aren't going to last long!
Amazon pricing changes frequently, so this deal may expire at any time.

St Davids, on the far south-western tip of Wales, is a city of contradictions. Being the smallest city in the UK, it is really more of a village with a great big cathedral plonked down at one end. It is a tranquil little place but alongside the tea-and-scones brigade is a growing community of surfers who ride the waves on the beautiful beaches nearby all year round. Beyond the shoppers rummaging through baskets of souvenir tea-towels are legions of walkers and nature-lovers who explore the coast paths, the sea and the cliffs in between in search of puffins, seals and the delicate, beautiful Manx Shearwater birds that migrate past the headland every summer. Even the visitor centre (known as Oriel Y Parc, which means 'the park gallery') is an odd mixture, for if you walk through the coffee shop and past the leaflets on local attractions you will find yourself in a world-class gallery.
The gallery, a recent addition to the visitor centre, is itself beautifully harmonious in form and content. The environmentally sustainable building that houses it heralds what we can expect from a gallery in the 21st century. The graceful arc shape of the building catches the sun all day, keeping heating costs to a minimum. The ceilings are insulated with lamb's wool and a green roof with its swaying grasses also brings warmth and helps to regulate the demand on the drainage system. Rainwater is used for the toilet cisterns and solar energy panels heat water for the kitchen. Recycled and second-hand materials have been used wherever possible – much of the stone for the walls comes from old derelict buildings.
Perhaps it is when you see what is on display inside the gallery that you truly understand the importance of all this low-impact building and energy conservation: to preserve the precious Pembrokeshire landscape that has inspired so many artists including London-born painter Graham Sutherland. Sutherland loved the landscape around St Davids, painting it again and again, and when he died in 1980 he left a great body of work to the people of Pembrokeshire.
Sutherland's work will form the permanent central focus of the gallery's exhibitions. For those used to gentle water-colour scenes of the Welsh coast, Sutherland's paintings are a hand grenade assault on the senses – fierce, energy-filled evocations of the landscape, both challenging and fascinating.
For Oriel Y Parc to be given permission to exhibit the bequest it had to meet a stringent list of standards, including careful regulation of the humidity and temperature in the air and a complex and highly sophisticated security system. Meeting this criteria has meant that the gallery has been awarded 'Class A' status, which means that the work by Picasso and Rembrandt that is displayed alongside Sutherland's paintings in the current exhibition will be the first in a long line of world-class international art to be shown at the centre.
Prompted by Sutherland's extraordinary visions of the surrounding countryside, the gallery plans to use future exhibitions to investigate art's relationship with the landscape and with nature. Brendan Burns a Cardiff-based painter has been making paintings of the Pembrokeshire coastline for about fifteen years. Being the first artist-in-residence at Oriel Y Parc is, he says, 'so exciting because everything is new. It feels important, like you're part of something major.' He is thrilled by his proximity to his subject, as until now he has had to make the 100-mile journey home before he began to paint. He is also pleased to have Sutherland's work in the next room, where he can pop in and refer to it whenever he pleases, and says he particularly draws inspiration from the photographs, drawings and writing in the bequest.
He can't predict how the residency will affect his work, but says he is starting out by 'taking walks on new beaches'.
• The work produced by Brendan Burns during his residency at Oriel Y Parc will be shown at Oriel Y Parc or the National Museum in Cardiff, towards the end of 2009.

We understand the industry and our fundraising programs are designed to maximize the profit that goes to our fundraising groups. Each fundraiser that we offer has a specific profit percentage that goes back to the group. These percentages are based on a whole variety of factors that we will explain in greater detail below. An unfortunate trend that has developed in the industry is that fundraising groups are demanding a specific percentage from the fundraising company. Below are the consequences of these demands and how it's affected the fundraising industry as a whole.
How are fundraising profit percentages determined? Each fundraising company has their own policies in place for how they determine the profit percentages. I can tell you that the margins dictate the terms for us and how we determine what percentage we can offer our groups. There's a cost to produce the product. There's a cost to package and ship the product. There's a cost for the fundraising materials (brochures, order forms, envelopes, etc.). Plus, when it's all said and done, there has to be a reasonable retail cost as well. We strive to offer a quality product at a fair price to the consumer. The margins to the fundraising group will be dictated by a fair retail price and the cost of the product.
What happens when a customer demands a profit higher that what we're offering? This is always a delicate situation. We try to explain our process in determine the profit percentage hope they understand that much of the process is out of our control. The bottom line is that they want something that is going to sell. Would they want a 50% profit of an overpriced piece of junk or 40% on a quality product that is fairly priced? Many of our programs have a 50% profit (and higher), some of our other programs do not. There is a reason for this. For the companies that offer a 50% profit on program where the margins don't support it, something has to give. And most times it's the product quality and an inflated retail price. I can't tell you how many times we've heard this generalization about the fundraising products in the industry as a whole: "The fundraising products are way overpriced and the products are junk". Now you know the reason why! Many in this industry feel this topic is taboo and should not be discussed, we beg to differ. We feel it's important for fundraising groups to understand this process and see the direct cause of over inflated pricing and sub-standard quality of their fundraising products
Here at School-Fundraisers.com, we pride ourselves on the profit percentages we offer to our groups. They are some of the best in the industry. At the same time, the product quality of our fundraising ideas is also the top in the industry. How do we do it? We stick to the high quality products that work and have fair margins. The programs that have gotten out of whack (gift wrapping anyone?) are the ones we avoid. We are in this for the long haul and our fundraising groups are our partners!

From Oakland to New York, young protesters are taking it to brunch.
Over the weekend, protesters entered popular eateries in New York and Oakland and called out the names of those killed by police violence.
According to the Washington Post, more than thirty participants filled the restaurants. The disruptions lasted for four-and-a-half minutes to represent the four-and-a-half hours that Michael Brown was left in the street after being killed by former Ferguson, Missouri officer, Darren Wilson.

Google says device given to employees is not the gPhone but is a mobile lab
This article contains unofficial information.
In the official response from Google, the company says that this process is done so that Google employees can test new products and technology designed by the company, similar to eating your own dog food (which is why the process is called dogfooding by the firm). The hardware is a mobile lab designed to run innovative software created by Google partners on a Android OS to check the new features and capabilities. This package of the mobile lab hardware loaded with the software being tested was what was handed out to employees, according to the statement. Google says that because dogfooding is a process limited to Google employees, the results will not be made public. Let us ask you this important question. Is there anything in this scenario that prevents the hardware and software from being the Google phone?

WTF phonearena, work on ur damn comprehension skills. I read the same damn blog u guys read and NEVER does anyone DENY the existence of a phone. They only refer to it as a mobile lab (as in an experiment). Stop being so retarded. No wonder so many ppl hate on ur site.

it could go either way. if it were testing just the soft ware then they wouldnt make an actual hardware casing. like a left over g1. why would htc send the hard ware some where to be tested. no need spend the extra money. but i agree with the above a mobile lab is as good as smart phone. i can call my phone a mobile office, or hand held laptop, but at the end of the day its still a phone. but i am excited to know there might be a new htc out there...

Its probably the passion considering it got delayed from a December launch to a January/February launch with Verizon Wireless probably so they can test out v2.1 Android on it. This makes more sense since Google announced a month or two ago (right before their partnership with verizon was made public) that they were not interested in branding their own phone but would continue working with established manufacturers to offer innovative software on someone else's hardware and wireless network. I'm justa sayin....

About Me******* I just relocated from San Francisco to Boise *******
I'm an illustrative portraitist. I tell stories that express what words can not define.
Everything in life is filtered and seen thru our own individual eyes. Photography to me is not about taking a pretty picture. It's about the expression of my dreams and visions. It's our imagination that breaths life to our dreams, fantasies, and creations. We are the creators and the artists. As Willy Wonka says, We are the music makers and the dreamers of the dream.
A smile is beautiful only when it's real.
I have Clients, and sometimes I get to choose the models. They will pay you, and pay you well. However I DO NOT pay models.
We can discuss rates if you are wanting to build your book and you want head or beauty shots... I've built a lot of people's books, and shoot corporate portraits for a living.
I use MM to colaborate with a model to build our books. Please do not contact me with your rates.
Those who are makeup artists and stylists. If you are interested in testing let me know. I'm always interested in adding to my list.
