Rescue challenge toimprove skillsParamedics and rescue tech-nicians from the WesternCape Department of Health’sEmergency Medical Services(EMS) this week took part ina friendly rescue challengebetween teams from differentEMS districts based in theprovince to test and improvetheir skills.

The annual challenge, whichwas held at the PaarlMetro basein Sanddrift Street for the firsttime since 2008, started on Tues-day and saw teams competing inatraumachallengeto test the fol-lowing: how they would handlepatients that have been throughatraumaticexperienceandneedmedical assistance, theirmentaland physical fitness, and an extricationchallenge, raised by the technicians them-selves in a situation under stress, wherepeople are trapped in or under a vehicle.

Funds for the challenge were raised by

the districts bases themselves, while spon-sorshipsanddonationswerealso received.Organisers of the event said all the teamsdid well, and stated that it was yet againa learning experience for everyone.

High blood pressure is killingSouth AfricansSouth Africans have one ofthe highest rates of hyper-tension worldwide.September being Heart

Awareness Month, theHeart and Stroke Founda-tion SA is encouragingSouthAfricans to “beat thepressure and get tested” byoffering free blood pres-sure tests to the public.Hypertension or high

blood pressure is called the“silent killer” for a reason.People do not usually showany signs or symptomsandonce they realise that theyhave high blood pressure,it is often too late. One inthreeSouthAfricanadults,15 years or older, has hy-pertension and the majori-tyof themareunaware thatthey have the condition.High blood pressure is

the leading cause of heartdisease and strokes. To celebrate Heart Aware-ness Month, the Heart and Stroke FoundationSA (HSF) in partnershipwithClicks, is offeringfree blood pressure tests for the public at allClicks Clinics nationwide, by appointment forthemonthofSeptember.EncouragingSouthAf-ricans to: “Beat the pressure. Get tested.”Along with this, the HSF is also encouraging

South Africans to lower their salt intake by fol-lowingsimplesteps, likeadding lesssalt to theirfood.“South Africans eat far too much salt, more

than double the recommended daily allow-ance,” says Dr Vash Mungal-Singh, CEO of theHeart and Stroke Foundation SA.Encouraging South Africans to lower their

salt intakeis importantbutthedangersofahighsalt diet must be addressed and that is whereSalt Watch steps in. Salt Watch is driven by amulti-sectoral coalition, supported by the Na-tional Department of Health, and is a memberof World Action on Salt and Health.

Fortunately, in 2013 the Minister of Healthsigned legislation to make salt reduction in thefood industry mandatory, helping to achievethe government’s target to reduce salt intaketo less than 5 g a day by 2020. This makes SouthAfrica the first country globally to legislate saltlevels to help reduce the amount of salt that thepublic takes in from processed foods.Every hour in South Africa, five people have

heart attacks, 10 peoplehave strokes and10peo-ple die from heart disease and stroke. The goodnews is that 80% of these premature deaths (be-fore the age of 60) can be prevented with ahealthy balanced diet, being physically activeregularly and avoiding smoking.Book an appointment at any Clicks Clinic for

a free blood pressure test during the month ofSeptember.Phone 0860 254 257 to book an appointment.

Bemarking is soos boerderyDAVID MALHERBE

Entrepreneurs, net soos boere,begin gewoonlik ’n besigheidmet ’n droom van wat hullegraagwil bereik.Aangesienboe-re egter afhanklik is van die na-tuur, is hulle dalk meer realis-tiesoorwathullebinne ’nsekeretyd kan bereik.

Beide boere en entrepreneurs be-gin deur ’n klomp tyd en geld in dienuwe onderneming te steek. Vir die boer is ditomnádeeglike beplanning eerstens die planteindiegrond tekry,dit dan teversorgenuitein-delik ná maande, of in die geval van wingerden vrugte ná jare, die oes te kan afhaal.Al is jyhoehaastig, jykannie juisdienatuur

aanjaag om gou te maak nie.

Dit verskil radikaal van wat onsmeestal van ons bemarkingspo-gings verwag. Die boer weet dat ashyvandagdieplantjies indiegrondsit, daar teen môre nog geen kansop ’n oes sal wees nie. As entrepre-neurs droom ons egter dikwels vankits-rykdom nadat ons die eersteadvertensie per e-pos of in ’n koe-rant of tydskrif die wêreld inge-stuur het. En as ons nie gou genoeggoeie besigheid begin doen nie, wilparty sommer tou opgooi.

Ongelukkig geld dieselfde reëls vir besig-heid as vir boerdery. Die spreekwoord “Onbe-kend isonbemind” iswaar.Daar is studieswatgetoon het dat as ’n nuwe besigheid begin omsy produkte of dienste te adverteer, reaksiedikwels eers na die sewende of agtste plasingenigsins wesenlik begin toeneem.

Bemarking hou verband met die bou vanverhoudings met vreemdelinge en voorne-mende kopers en sulke verhoudinge word nieoornag gebou nie. Die boer weet dat dit hardewerk en sorg verg gedurende die hele tyd watdit neem vir die gewasse om te groei.Boereweetookdatallesnienoodwendigmet

die eerste probeerslag altyd reg uitwerk nie.Soms is daar skade a.g.v diefstal, wind, haelof te veel / te min reën.Maar as ons, soos die boer, sal aanhou om

gereeld te bemarkenvoortdurendnuwebesig-heidsverhoudingemet sorg tebou, saldievrugdaarvanmetverloopvantyd’ngoeieoeslewer.Onthou, Rome is nie in een dag gebou nie.* David Malherbe is ’n besigheids- en loop-

Spring clean your spendingAs spring arrives, the cupboards and garageare not the only areaswhereweneed to takean “out with the old, in with the new” ap-proach. It is the ideal time toreviewfinancesand give wasteful spending the boot.“While it is important tore-lookyourbank

whole family. Sibiya suggests that the morebuy-in there is fromall familymembers, theeasieritwillbetoinstilnewhabitsandthink-ing about spending in the household.Asking the followingquestions allowsone

to establish where money is being wastedand adjust your behaviour accordingly:

)Are you a forgetful shopper?It happens to everyone:we visit the shops,

forget whether we have a certain item athome, buy the item, only to find it in the cup-board. Items such as spices can be kept forquite sometime,butbuyingmore thanneed-ed is a waste.“If you’re throwing products away be-

cause you are not using them or you haveno need for them, you are wasting money.Solve thisproblembydrawingupyourshop-ping list at home before you head to theshops,” says Sibiya.

)Are you buying brands out of habit?Wegetsousedtousingacertainbrandthat

weseldomconsiderthattheremightbealter-native options that are of the same qualityand at a cheaper price.“There are often more reasonably priced

alternatives of equal quality on the shelves.Take some time to sitwith theweekly super-market catalogue and compare the prices.Make themost of the specials and try out dif-ferentbrands.Youmight findthatyoupreferanother brand to the one you always used

and save a buck in the process.”Ask the children to circle the cheapest

items in the weekly supermarket catalogueor bring you your normal brand. This savestimeandservesasaneducationalprice com-parison exercise for the kids.

)Do you need the full satellite subscrip-tion?Establish what youwatchmost of and opt

for alternatives. If it is movies, why not con-sider taking out DVDs when you are plan-ning to have a movie night. Alternatively,subscribe to a cheaper monthly offer whichwill saveyoumoneyandyoumight be pleas-antly surprised at how this increases thequalityof time that the family spends togeth-er.

)Are you checking your slips?Not checking your till slips, whether at a

garage,restaurantorshop,isoneoftheworstshopping habits that a lot of us have. Youcould be paying for items that are not in thebasket.“The amount of water and electricity sav-

ingtipsarenumerous,yetweseemtosoeasi-ly forget the ease of driving down our waterand electricity bill. Readup on a fewof thesetips online.”Place a tin in the kitchen and incorporate

One store might be better to shop at for per-ishables and the same store might chargemore for household cleaning goods. Shop atmallswhere a variety of stores are availableto choose from.“Spring is a great time to take a fresh

Plan ahead for final examsTests can be daunting be-cause they are such an im-portant part of your coursegrade, and knowing yourfaculty’s expectations canbe difficult.

One week before the ex-am, spend an hour readingthrough your notes.

Five days before the ex-am, start to create a masterstudy sheet with all of themajor topics that will be onthe test. This might be alist, outline, study guide,chart or a set of flash cardswith pictures.

From your master studysheet, identify the con-cepts that are the leastclear or most difficult foryou. Start your study with these topics. Planto review them several times, review your text,or get clarity during office hours.

Write and respond to practise exam questionsas practise for the real exam. You can even trywriting questions at different “levels” of under-standing.

Study for objective tests by practising and re-viewing material in different formats. Objec-tive tests include multiple choice, matching,fill-in-the-blank, and true/false questions. Ifyou can write on the test, cover up the suppliedanswers and write what you know. Use educat-ed guessing strategies if you are unsure of thematerial

Study for essay questions differently than forobjective questions. A well-written essay examanswers the question with a clear thesis, is richin content/evidence to support the thesis, andhas a logical progression of ideas that flowsmoothly. Taking time to set up the structureand think about the question (not just every-thing you know) before starting to write can

make a big difference in these three areas.Learn how to access your long-term memory.

Even with good preparation you must store andretrieve some information from your short-term memory. How do you remember songsfrom junior high? You’ve repeated the informa-tion so frequently that they are stored in yourlong-term memory. Storing class content infor-mation in your long-term memory can also helpyou retrieve it during an exam.

CalmDown.Testanxietyisthefeelingofnerv-ousness that students feel before and during anexam. Quality preparation and relaxation be-fore the exam can help reduce test anxiety.

Use last-minute study time strategically.Sometimes even the best plans fall through, andyou may be faced with having to cram for a test.

Put all of these strategies together when youplan and prepare for your final exams.
