Umgeni Veterinary Clinic agrees that hugs matter!

umgeni vet hugs'Did You Know?
 
The Angora Rabbits have very impressive coats and are often actually bred for their wool. However, they also make fantastic companion pets and can bond very quickly to their pet parents.
 
The American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) recognizes four different breeds of Angora rabbit: French, English, Satin, and Giant. The Giant Angora is the biggest of the breeds and the Satin Angora has finer and softer hair than the other breeds.
 
Is it just us, or do we all need a hug from an Angora Rabbit?' shared Umgeni Veterinary Clinic.

This 'Friday funny' from The Local Choice Pharmacy Hilton Health is on point

local choice 20202020 was the year in which the world’s vocabulary was really expanded. To help us make sense of the changes that have suddenly become part of our everyday lives, we learned our first Covid-19 terms, like social distancing, self-quarantine and "flatten the curve". We also learned the difference between epidemic and pandemic; quarantine and isolation; respirator and ventilator; contagious and infectious.
 
Luckily we didn’t forget about the healing power of humour in difficult situations and poured it into our newly discovered Covid-19 vocabulary:
?Covidiot - someone ignoring public health advice
?Maskne – skin breakouts people can get from frequently wearing a mask
?Zumping - a reference to getting dumped over Zoom
?Coronials - the future generation of babies conceived or born during quarantine
?Blursday - an unspecified day because of lockdown’s disorientating effect on time
?Coronacoaster - the ups and downs of your mood during the pandemic

General security advice from Knight Security Solutions

knight security hilton copy1. Test your alarm at least every 3 months and request the services of a technician if your alarm is faulty. It is important to inform your security service provider when you are testing your system.

2. If you park your car outside your garage, ensure that you have external beams linked to your alarm system to alert you if you have an intruder on your property.

3. Secure any outbuildings, sheds, verandas and garages with some sort of external protection. These areas can be linked to your existing house alarm.

4. Now is a perfect time to trim all excess foliage and clean up your property and verges.

5. Number your property clearly so that emergency services can easily locate your address.

6. Don’t leave items lying around outside, in view of the road. There are opportunistic criminals that quickly jump into and out of yards and steal these smaller items.

For all your professional alarm system installations and upgrades, CCTV cameras, biometrics, access control, guarding and other security advice, KSS are able to assist you.

Action Stations for Hilton Siding Shopping Centre

Hilton Siding 3 MediumThose who visit Hilton Railway Station will notice the hub of activity. Shift Capital are currently levelling and landscaping the area along the tracks to create a new community space.
 
Shift Capital, developers of the new Hilton Siding Shopping Centre, have begun transforming the land alongside the railway line between Park Lane and Azalea Drive into a community green space. This forms part of the development of the new Hilton Siding Shopping Centre, set to open in December this year. One percent of the development’s building contract value is dedicated to community upliftment projects.
 
Public picnic space
 
The area opposite the Station Stop Coffee Shop is currently being levelled and alien species removed. The next step is to plant grass and indigenous plants. Burgess Landscapes, Azalea drive locals, will be landscaping indigenous gardens and natural rock features. The result will be a lawn area for families to picnic, relax and get some fresh air in a safe and enjoyable setting.
 
More parking!
 
Shift Capital will also be creating 50 public parking spaces adjacent to Hilton Railway Station, which is becoming an increasingly popular destination for good coffee, delicious food, local performances, events and markets.
 
And lots more…
 
There is plenty to look forward to in the coming months. Along with the Hilton Siding Shopping Centre, Shift Capital are also working with the Hilton Steam Heritage Association (HSHA) to preserve and uplift the railway station’s natural heritage:
● One of the small diesel trains (once used to guide larger steam trains around the tracks) will be put back to work, possibly allowing people to ride the train to Cedara and back.
● Some of the other unused carriages at the station will be converted into stalls and pop-up flea markets selling local products, craft beer, gin and causal food.
● Railway sleepers are being reused as public benches.
A portion of the income generated from the stalls and train rides will be used to fund further community spaces, such as an open-air amphitheatre, an art gallery and a rock-climbing wall.
 
Minimising disruption
 
The major earthworks on the site should be finished before children return to school. In the case of any delays, trucks will be timed to leave and enter the site during ‘off-peak’ hours.

Ithambo Creations emphasise sustainable and responsible practices

ithambos sq‘Ithambo Creations is very selective about both the quality of our product and the art portrayed.
 
Our primary objective is to allow the collector an opportunity to view our authentic African heritage with dedicated realism.
 
Our choice of art is the result of decades of exhibiting to a discerning international market.
 
Our products are created with an emphasis on sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices for our planet.
 
The wish to share Africa’s wealth of flora and fauna in art is the inspiration behind Ithambo Creations.
 
As a truly African product, our images are largely sourced from the art of world-renowned wildlife artist Andrew Bone, but also from the creative skills of other African artists.
 
We believe that the product and image should be as collectible as the memories of the African continent itself.
 
Ithambo Creations supports the Forever Wild Foundation, a Southern African based organization involved with the conservation of predator species.’
