Do you want to experience the Bushveld but are not quite ready to relinquish your home comforts? Located in the Limpopo Bushveld is a Lodge where you are accommodated in Luxury Hemmingway air-conditioned East African style safari tents, with 220v electricity and bathrooms en-suite, under massive Bushveld trees. Bateleur Tented Safari Lodge is a 12 bed Lodge - and you can be accommodated whether you simply seek a Bushveld break away, a private conference venue, or a team building experience. They offer amongst other activities, game drives, walks, bird watching and boat rides. We chose self-catering for our stay at this beautiful Lodge and we had every conceivable amenity. We were extremely well looked after and very comfortable. Also an enjoyable part of a holiday is meeting others and conversing with like-minded visitors, around the boma in the evening.

Ever tried bringing up a subject, or asking a question, when your husband / partner / male friend is watching rugby?!!! Definitely not a good idea.! I have a bad habit of reading when a rugby game is being aired on TV, unless it is a really exciting final. Whilst reading (in particular, a magazine or newspaper) I often come across an interesting article which I want to discuss at the time, and of course, unsurprisingly, am met with a "deaf ear"! Today I was introduced to an interesting blog... Continue reading...

Quote: I was always looking outside myself
for strength and confidence,
but it comes from within,
It is there all the time.
--- Anna Freud (via ImageHarmony.com) Self confidence is the difference between feeling unstoppable and feeling scared out of your wits. Your perception of yourself has an enormous impact on how others perceive you. Perception is reality - the more self confidence you have, the more likely you'll succeed. Ten strategies you can consciously do to build self-c... Continue reading...

Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe. In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe - from the microscopic to the supermassive - may be doorways into alternative realities. According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes - a type of wormhole. The matter the black hole attracts doesn't collapse into a single point, as has been predicted, but rather gushe... Continue reading...

But when she began looking for a good opportunity to return to a challenging legal career in 1999, after the family returned from a several-year sting in Australia, she... Continue reading...

Geneva, 30 March 2010, Beams collided at 7 TeV in the LHC at 13:06 CEST, marking the start of the LHC research programme. Particle physicists around the world are looking forward to a potentially rich harvest of new physics as the LHC begins its first long run at an energy three and a half times higher than previously achieved at a particle accelerator. "It's a great day to be a particle physicist" said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. "A lot of people have waited a long time for this momen... Continue reading...

Daniel Vydra's serendipity maker, an off-the-cuff Python hack that draws on the APIs of the Guardian, New York Times, and Australian Broadcasting Corporation in order to create a series of "news roulettes". You "hit a button" and you will get taken to a totally random New York Times, Guardian or ABC News Story. The argument goes that while there is more news on the web, our perspectives on the news are narrower because we only browse the sites we already agree with, or know we already like or...

With beams routinely circulating at the Large Hadron Collider at 3.5 TeV, the highest energy yet achieved in a particle accelerator, CERN has set the date for the start of the LHC research programme. The first attempt for collisions at 7 TeV (3.5 TeV per beam) scheduled for 30 March 2010. ( http://public.web.cern.ch/public ) What secrets this experiment will unfold/unearth have yet to be seen. Heisenberg Uncertainty principle In fairly short order, physicists studying the quantum level noticed... Continue reading...
