An active and diverse sexual lifestyle could help not only your physical health but also your mental health, very much like having a daily exercise routine.

Why are we then so ashamed of talking about something so good and dare I say it, nice? Sex is nice, it's flipping great to be more accurate. And not just for men or women, sex is universal and the pleasure from consenting sexual experiences relieves us of stress and helps our hearts do what they do best.

For these reasons it was decided to open a place that is accepting of all sexual orientations, devoid of the predictable sleaze many have come to expect from sex shops.Lotuscede was borne in October 2014, a luxury e-tailor of all things sexy.

"Growth is found in experimentation." says James Rautenbach, Directors of Lotuscede. "Sexual experimentation is no different. We are all aware of the dark side of sexuality but the vast majority of sexual interactions are between consenting adults who are both in it for their individual pleasure. Who amongst us would not enjoy a healthy, giving sex life? Of course there are those of us who do not have loving partners but they deserve no less pleasure than those who do. Sex toys are  quite simply fantastic and though they won't provide you with love, they are almost certain to give you the pleasure and relief you all deserve and all too often need."

Lotuscede strives to both view and portray sexuality in all it's wondrous forms as the beautiful thing it is. We stock only the best, quality body safe silicone sex toys that not only feel luxurious but also look classy and tasteful making them cross sexual orientation friendly. We also boast a selection of exclusive sexual clothing that you wont find anywhere else.

Girls who like boys who like boys who like girls who like girls, Lotuscede has something to please and thrill each of you.

So why not give in to love at www.lotuscede.co.za with any one of our carefully selected luxury sex toys or exclusively designed South African sexual apparel.

During the early 90’s when I managed various open-pit contract mines on behalf of one of the biggest contract mining companies, I recall that on more than a dozen of open-pit contracts carried out during my tenure, the mine plans issued by the Mining Company were impractical and unsuitable for implementation. Following discussions with several of our competitors at the time, I realized that the aforesaid was not an exception but rather the norm.

Notwithstanding, during 1996 I embarked upon an aggressive approach to address this skill shortage and established Tacmin, with the specific intention to grow a business which focused on closing the gap between technical and practical mining. Based upon observations made following 18 years of servicing mining clients on more than 50 multi-commodity open-pit mines across Africa, I can with regret report that the problem I came across in the early 90’s, very much appears to be still relevant today.

Sadly enough, software companies have constantly attempted to address the problem and in my opinion have succeeded to develop more advanced mine engineering and planning software; to the extent that the industry is now reliant upon “software engineers” to solve problems, while the gap between practical and technical continues to widen. In general, the inefficiencies due to this skill shortage was up until now something that could have been absorbed, however in the current economic climate, mining companies continue to contend with price volatility, geopolitical turmoil, rising costs, declining grades and a general lack of access to financing.

In light of the many ongoing challenges, several industry leaders have urged mining executives to sharpen their focus in order to achieve sustainable productivity improvements and embrace new forms of innovation. While many have turned to uncovering hidden costs and restructuring their supply chain, one of the main areas of focus has been flagged as mine planning, with the aim to create effective mine plans and track daily adherence to production volumes. But how do we overcome this with the lack of skills among miners and lack of accepting responsibility by the mining contractor?

Sometime in the mid 2000’s, I recall sitting in a boardroom of one of the mining companies, owner of at least 5 open-pit mines across Africa at the time, attending presentations by mining experts backed by some of the most advanced software on the market, who presented the most lucrative budget forecasts for the medium term. Our involvement was to audit and test the proposed schedules and plans and regrettably we had to point out that the equipment employed at the time did not have the capability to achieve the production levels which were reported. Aforesaid was further enforced by the CEO then, who stated that he has for years seen everything working on paper, but not on the ground.

Since Tacmin has from inception focused on bridging the gap and making their mine plans, schedules and forecasts happen on the ground (and continue to do so), our customers have without fail always benefited while conformance to our mine plans have consistently remained above 90%. Regrettably, we experienced in most instances that mine plans and schedules compiled by others had to be re-engineered by ourselves prior to implementation. People often ask what is the main contributor to Tacmin’s success in this regard, and I always reply that we apply first principles, take responsibility for implementation and religiously track progress against the design, plan and schedule.

Whilst several mining companies may have already experienced that throwing money at the mine plan has not solved the problem, all is not lost for mine owners. Open-pit mining companies can start to regain control of their operations by ensuring that appropriate monitoring is in place. One does not have to sit and wonder, or experience unsatisfactorily results while not being able to establish what is the true cause to non-conformance. After all, as James Harrington put it “Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.” In fact, an increasing number of mining companies, similar to many other industries, are starting to recognize the benefits of aerial monitoring and its ability to provide quick and comprehensive data and visual observation of an entire mine inclusive of its operations.

In light of the increasing demand for Tacmin’s services, the company has since 2013 re-geared itself to rapidly respond to the needs for faster turnaround of open-pit mines and as a result is now better placed than before to assist customers through an unique blend of services that enable them to:

Monitor mining operations: By establishing and making results transparent to all by means of advanced turnkey aerial and mapping solutions, thereby providing clients with ongoing monthly updates of the as- built situation through aerial surveys for an objective comparison of the mining progress and mine plan conformance, bench-marked against reported schedules and costs.

Conduct audits of all technical and production related matters: Assess the practicality of mine plans and schedules as well as the effectiveness of manpower, equipment and resource capability to comply with the anticipated schedule, and plan and present with the aid of aerial collected data, deviations from the mine plan.

Work in close collaboration with mines personnel: Implementing and rolling-out the mine plan and budget while periodically tracking and monitoring progress against the mine plan becomes the ultimate key to success and sustainable improvement. Having a plan but not implementing it, is as good as not having a plan at all. Mine companies need to ensure that on-site personnel and contractors are properly aligned with the plan and able to carry it through. This can be particularly challenging in some instances given the hostility in mining contractor relationships. In such cases, most companies elect to appoint a Client’s representative or independent party who can take up the responsibility of ensuring a smooth implementation.

Tacmin Madini has a considerable track record of appointments as the Client’s Representative / Engineer in numerous mine optimisation and contractor management assignments. In the aforementioned role, Tacmin assumes the responsibility for various functions such as verification, compilation, approval and management of data, contract agreements, engineering designs, mine plan conformance, progress tracking, measurement, certification, budgets and cost.\

Johannesburg, South Africa ( January 27, 2015) - Women with severely, matted and tangled hair can breathe a sigh of relief, following Hair Detangler School’s revelation of a new product they have been using to effectively treat hairs of this nature.

Hair Detangler School SA offers professional detangling service, unique to Africa, for those who want to get rid of tangles and mats in their hair without cutting their mane. 

The Take Down Remover cream is and American product and the only one that the professional’s at Hair Detangler School SA  use.  They do not use conditioner, glycerin, or water based products-as it makes severely matted/tangled hair worse.

Apart from effectively treating tangled, matted hair, the Take Down Remover Cream can be used in the detangling of dreadlocks, braids, sew-in weaves, twists and extensions.  It is also excellent option for the removal of bonding glue and keratin heat fusion bonds.

Senior Detangle Tech Trainers at Hair Detangler School SA state that "Most hairdressers just want to cut very matted tangled hair. They do not know about the Take Down Remover or the techniques needed to successfully detangle. Furthermore, they just can't be bothered with devoting a day or two days to detangling hair." Also they emphasize that "We do, however, train hairdressers who want to learn." 

To get hair professionally detangled or for expert training in detangling tangled matted hair visit, http://www.hairdetanglerschoolsa.com

Econorisk is fast becoming one of South Africa’s leading independent short term insurance brokerages, with a national footprint and a passion for personal service and individual advice being key to its success. One of the people behind the business is none other than former South African bowler, Brett Schultz.  

Brett, your cricket career was brought to an abrupt end through injury. Describe the transition from sport to business?  

“I became involved in the financial services industry while playing cricket, as I wanted to diversify my interests as well as have something to fall back on after my playing days were over. This proved to be the right decision and the exposure was good business grounding for me. I quickly learnt that a successful business is all about excellence in service delivery through the right product and relevant pricing. When my cricket career was over, I returned to the financial services industry, joining Econorisk in 2003.”  

The business is going from strength to strength. To what do you attribute Econorisk’s success?  

“You need to be passionate about what you do, as it is infectious and it affects the people around you. Whether it’s your team mates, colleagues or clients, your attitude has an enormous impact on the overall outcome. In cricket, we expect to be judged on the results we deliver; the same goes for business. At Econorisk we understand that having a passion for producing results is essential.   We’re committed to delivering an all-round service, getting to know our clients and their individual short-term insurance needs, and being in the best position to provide them with the right solutions to alleviate risk.”  

Econorisk believes in doing business the traditional way with relationships and personal service…  

“Rob Sylvester founded the business together with Econometrix in 2001 with a mission to provide what clients wanted, but were not getting – a professional, personal service. It is this philosophy that drives our business. We believe in conducting business the traditional way, with relationships and personal service at the top of our priority list. By getting to know our clients, we are able to provide informed advice and the most suitable products tailored to their individual needs. This, coupled with our strong industry relationships with almost all Insurers and Underwriting Managers, enables us to deliver a comprehensive service which continually looks after our clients’ ever-changing risk profiles.”  

You have a wealth of experienced specialists at Econorisk, with some recent key appointments and substantial investment in the business. Tell us more about this?  

“Since its inception, the business has grown as a brand with a core staff compliment of insurance specialists. In 2011 Cyan Capital invested into Econorisk which provided the capacity to bring in industry leader Guy Scott as CEO and operations specialist John Rivers-Moore as COO. These key appointments have in turn attracted highly skilled employees to fill critical positions. In addition to moving into a new head office in Rivonia in Johannesburg, Econorisk has also in the past year opened offices in Umhlanga Ridge, Durban and Woodstock, Cape Town. Econorisk now has the platform for extensive growth through both employment and acquisition of the required expertise to be able to become a market leader.”  

You’ve not forgotten your sporting roots. Econorisk is actively involved in supporting a number of charitable organisations, including dressage competitor and Paralympic hopeful, Nicole Sanders….  

“With limited access to training and insufficient funds, Nicole was running out of time to make her dream of competing in the 2016 Paralympic Games come true. The commitment and dedication that Nicole has shown is remarkable, even when all the odds seemed stacked against her. This sort of passion and drive is in keeping with our own ethos, so we set about raising funds for Nicole to help keep her Paralympic dream alive. We are extremely proud of Nicole and her determination.”  

There are many comparisons drawn between business and sport. As a professional sportsman turned businessman, where do you see these similarities?  

“In business, as with sport, it is essential to keep an ear to the ground and an eye on your competitors, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, then working as a team to achieve a better result for your clients and your stakeholders. This, coupled with a passion to be your best, will help keep you ahead of the game.”

23, January 2015 –Dreadlock Removal Process Now Made Easy with the Take Down® Remover 

The Take Down® Removers is the #1 Best Braid, Weave, Extension and Dreadlock Remover. This is a dry hair detangler which works fast in softening the hair.

The cream prevents any type of breakage during the process of detangling. It offers wonderful results on hair that has not been combed or brushed for a long period. Hair that has become extremely dry and matted can now be softened with the help of this excellent cream. The gentle cream penetrates through the hair and softens each and every strand as and when it is being combed.

Imagine the amount of time and effort it would take to remove the knots and clumps out of that matted and tangled hair. Take Down® Remover is definitely a great relief from pain as well as a feasible solution that offers excellent results.

The cream should be used directly on the matted hair before shampooing. Shampooing the matted hair would lead to more stubborn knots and clumps. It would also create masses of tangled matted hair. All that the users need here is this Detangler Cream, a wide tooth comb, a rat tail comb and of course lots of patience.

Users have to massage and soak the hair with the cream without wetting the hair. The knots, balls or clumps can be picked using the rat tail comb. The strands of hair can be slowly pulled out using the pin tip of the comb. If the hair to too tangled, users may wish to use extra cream – the more the better. This would weaken the matted knots and clumps.

The hair can be shampooed once it is completely detangled. A wide tooth comb can be used to remove all the knots and mats now. The hair can be conditioned with an excellent conditioner at the end.

Even the worst dreadlocks, twists, hair extensions and dread extensions can be detangled easily with the help of this dreadlock remover. Hair restoration is now easy and simple with this excellent product. It is time to say no to painful processes and those time taking sessions to detangle the extremely impossible tangled hair.
