The allure of Africa has drawn explorers and thrill seekers for hundreds of years, but what compels a young family to leave behind financial stability, family and friends, most of their belongings, and all that is familiar, for the unknown? Follow Elaine, mining engineer husband Roy, and children Leia (12) and Nicolas (10), as they begin the first of many international adventures together, daring to make the leap from wondering what might have been to remembering what was. Discover the Zambian city of Chingola of 1995 through Elaine's eyes; her first encounter with culture shock, local and international schools, daily food purchasing at outdoor markets, washing clothes in a bathtub, and dealing with the frustration of local African banks. They expect adventure, even challenge and danger but nothing prepares you for a rifle turned on your children in the back seat of your car, a command to enter a guard's hut at a highway checkpoint, a charge from an angry elephant and the sound of pounding on your door as thieves attempt to break into your house. They weather these events and cultural clashes together as a family while also experiencing great explorations, new and eye-opening relationships and journeys of discovery. Standing on the edge of the gorge in the mist of Victoria Falls, sleeping in a tent on the banks of the Luangwa river listening to hippos, and sitting and watching the wide open sky, they know their anticipation and courage have met surprise and difference. In the end, a desire for adventure, and an embrace of uncertainty and newness, grow into a lifelong desire to welcome growth of character and understanding.

Physiology is the study of the normal working of the body. It is essential that its principles should be understood by nurses and doctors, for only if you know how the body works normally can you understand what is happening during disease. This first chapter covers the whole of physiology in outline, so that as later you read the chapters devoted to giving details of the various systems, you will be able to see where each system fits into the scheme of things. THE CELL You can learn a great deal about physiology by considering the requirements of a simple, single-celled organism such as the amoeba. These requirements may be summarized as follows: 1. Supplies. All living organisms require a supply of energy if they are to survive. Plants can obtain their energy directly from the sun and by using very simple inorganic materials they can manu- facture all the substances they need. But animals must obtain their energy from the complex materials which they take in as food. The energy is released by the process known as oxidation (burning), in which food is broken down and combined with oxygen to release all the energy which is required. Animals therefore obviously need a supply of food and a supply of oxygen. Since the animal body is largely made up of water, they need a supply of water as well. The amoeba finds it easy to obtain all these materials from the water which surrounds it.

Pear, chocolate and cardamom cake. Pear and chocolate are an absolute match made in heaven. The subtle, almost floral flavour of the pear anchors so perfectly with the bitter sweetness of dark chocolate. To really up the ante, though, we add a little cardamom to the mix. It's warm, aromatic note rounds out the flavour profile… Source: https://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipe/pear-chocolate-cardamom-cake/floexbfvy
