Col John Patterson, who was creating a railway bridge about the Tsavo River (Kenya) in the course of 1898, who hunted a huge wide variety of wildlife extensively, and the 2 Tsavo lions that allegedly killed and ate over 130 Indian staff the name undoubtedly fits the monthly bill.

Throughout a time period of 9 months the Tsavo lions hunted people functioning on the bridge despite erecting bomas (fences built from thorn tree branches) and burning fires at evening in an endeavor to maintain the lions absent from the camp. The attacks came mainly at … Read more

We bought this play gym for Toby after trying out a dreadful Lamaze one. We were looking for something that would entertain him and help with developing his co-ordination and attention skills.

The gym was very easy to put up and ready to use within minutes. To look at, the gym is very attractive.

Some of the attachments are also black and white which again, is great for a young baby. As well as the high contrast black and white, there is a variety of colours on the arches of the gym and the actual play mat. Toby loves looking at the colours now he is a bit older.

The gym comes with several attachments. The best by far is the musical tiger which attaches to … Read more

The fungus “Candida” is present in all our bodies.

Under certain circumstances, it can become rooted in different locations or organs, spreading as if it were an “infection”. This infection is made visible through the presence of “white” discharge or some other infected material (in the case of the toes, a yellowing of the nail).

Whilst nothing wrong from a purely health perspective, the underlying condition is often unsightly, and can lead to further complications if not treated.

Most pertinently, the infection will likely not go on its own. This means if you have Athlete’s foot (another form of Candidiasis), or some other Candida-based infection, you’ll typically have to work hard yourself on cleaning it up.
