  • Immda Advisory Statement on Guidelines for Fluid Replacement During Marathon Running
    IMMDA ADVISORY STATEMENT ON GUIDELINES FOR FLUID REPLACEMENT DURING MARATHON RUNNING Written by Tim Noakes MBChB, MD, FACSM Professor of Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. This statement was unanimously approved at the IMMDA General Assembly, Fall 2001. This paper was editorially prepared for publication by an IMMDA committee of Drs. David Martin Ph.D.(Chair) ; Lewis G. Maharam, M.D., FACSM; Pedro Pujol, M.D., FACSM; Steve Van Camp, M.D.,FACSM; and Jan Thorsall, M.D. Publication: New Studies in Athletics: The IAAF Technical Quarterly. 17:1; 15-24, 2002. SUMMARY During endurance exercise about 75% of the energy produced from metabolism is in the form of heat, which cannot accumulate. The remaining 25% of energy available can be used for movement. As running pace increases, the rate of heat production increases. Also, the larger one’s body mass, the greater the heat production at a particular pace. Sweat evaporation provides the primary cooling mechanism for the body, and for this reason athletes are encouraged to drink fluids to ensure continued fluid availability for both evaporation and circulatory flow to the tissues. Elite level runners could be in danger of heat illness if they race too quickly in hot/humid conditions, and may collapse at the end of their event. Most marathon races, however, are scheduled at cooler times of the year or day, so that heat loss to the environment is adequate. Typically however, this post-race collapse is due simply to postural hypotension from decreased skeletal muscle massage of the venous return circulation to the heart upon stopping.

SIGNATURE OF STUDENT DATE ii © Central University of Technology, Free State SUMMARY The event tourism industry has a positive economic impact on countries and local communities alike. This is especially pertinent for developing countries such as South Africa where events and event tourism can be essential drivers for economic growth and development. Events have the potential to attract large numbers of attendees to host cities and local areas. As participant-based extreme sports events, such as motorsports, are becoming increasingly popular, competitive and dynamic, it is essential for event organisers to understand the demographics and consumer behaviour of visitors to such events.

  • A Huge Goal for Us Is to Open a Special Needs School
    10th BIRTHDAY On 5th December we celebrated our 10th birthday. This was a momentous time for us as an organization to look back on 10 years of growth, change, challenges and success. We excited to embrace all the challenges and adventures the next 10 years hold. Our Director, Sophia Warner had the following to say about our vision going forward: A huge goal for us is to open a special needs school. Approximately 70% of the children are not reaching the academic level that they should be. This may be a result of lack of previous early childhood development education, poverty, dysfunctional home circumstances, foetal alcohol spectrum disorders, truancy and poor school attendance, lack of parental support or low literacy levels, poor quality schooling or lack of previous academic support. We aim to provide intensive accelerated learning programmes in a dedicated centre to help the children reach their potential. We also aim to have expanded to other geographical areas within the Western Cape or elsewhere in South Africa. Our programmes are well established now. We are ready to roll out to new areas and take on many new farms'. PRODUCTION At the 10th birthday celebration children from Kaapzicht, Bellevue, Koopmanskloof, Villiera and Hartenberg were involved in a drama production called 'I am Important'. The production combined music, song, dance and dialogue which gave the children exposure to different elements of theatre and performance. The message communicated through the performance is that each person in society is significant and each person has a unique contribution to make. Every day Pebbles tries to communicate this message to all the staff members and the beneficiaries of our work.

  • 31 July 2014
    31st July 2014 - Gavin Stamp & Jon Wright Introduction. The United Kingdom National Inventory of War Memorials, (UKNIWM) now has over 60,000 sites on its database and the number continues to grow each year. The variety and diversity of them is staggering. Today, we are going to look at twenty or so C20th/21st London memorials chosen to show the range of artistic responses to commemoration, both after major conflict and more recently, to address retrospective concerns about the lack of monuments to various groups. When our previous chairman Gavin Stamp curated the Silent Cities exhibition at the Heinz Gallery in 1977, there were many who thought it wrong to focus in on the ‘art’ of war memorials, as if in some way that in so doing, one would be ignoring, or at least lessening their importance as sites of remembrance. We are still to fully understand the architectural significance of the huge number of sites built by Lutyens, Herbert Baker, Charles Holden and others, but as Gavin has continued to show through his foreign trips and publications, the building programme for overseas cemeteries and domestic memorials easily eclipsed any public works undertaking before or since. The C20 Society looks at memorials rather differently than the vital organisations set up to document, conserve and care for memorial sites specifically. The War Memorials Trust, whose conservation work remains vitally important to the upkeep of UK memorials is foremost among these groups. English Heritage have listed a significant amount of memorials, and like us, they do judge the monuments for architectural and artistic significance, while bearing in mind the inherent importance of the sites in a social and historic context.

PART 1 Reading Comprehension and Writing (25 minutes) Please read the following text carefully, then do A + B. THE UPS AND DOWNS OF 50 YEARS OF RUNNING 1951 The first jogger was a fat New Zealander who wanted to get into shape. He worked in a shoe factory and played rugby at the weekends but couldn’t lose any weight. He knew he couldn’t run fast like everyone else was trying to do at that time, so he decided to run slowly for long distances. His weight went down and he developed a passion for running. Eventually, he represented his country in an international competition. 1972 The marathon runner Frank Shorter won the gold medal for the USA at the Munich Olympics. As a result, a running boom hit the States - everyone started running through the streets, including the president at that time, Jimmy Carter. The world watched him on their TVs as he collapsed by the side of the road. This public exhibition didn’t stop him - he is still running! 1981 At the first ever London Marathon, there were two winners of the men’s race. They decided to cross the finishing line together. Behind them were 6,253 runners. The following year, 90,000 people applied to run the course. 1987 A 42-year old British woman who, only a year before, had stopped smoking and started training, set a new record time in the London Marathon. She then went on to win the New York marathons as well.
