Hopscotch is a simple children's game which can be played with several players or alone and is ( or used to be) a popular playground game.
To play this game, you need to draw a course on the ground. The course is usually made up of a series of squares and ends with a ‘safe’ or ‘base’. The squares are numbered in sequence which they are to be hopped.

Start your Day with...
Laughter yoga!
1. Good Mood and More Laughter: Whether it is your personal life, business life or social life everything you do depends upon your mood state. If your mood is good, you can do things much better. Laughter Yoga helps to change the mood within minutes by releasing certain chemicals from your brain cells called endorphins. You will remain cheerful and in a good mood throughout the day and will laugh more than you normally do.
2. Healthy Exercise to Beat Stress: Laughter Yoga is like an aerobic exercise (cardio workout) which brings more oxygen to the body and brain which makes one feel more healthy and energetic. Laughter Yoga is a single exercise routine which reduces physical, mental and emotional stress simultaneously.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Dear Muriel, Recently a lot of things have been sending me shooting down - every time I think, yes I have the plan - bammmmm - it goes stumbling down - again and again and again. Helllpppppppppp!
A) Sounds to me you are a little confused about the word ‘PLAN.’
Plan is usually defined as something you want to achieve.
Imagine you have a piece of furniture with 6 drawers one above the other. Write down what it is you want to achieve and the time span you require and put it in the top drawer.
Write down how you are going to achieve it, presumably it is something rational (in other words you do not have the desire to become an Astronaut but you have a fear of heights)! Put what you have written in the bottom drawer.
Start your day with…Optimism
Superior Health
In a study of 99 Harvard University students, those who were optimists at age 25 were significantly healthier at ages 45 and 60 than those who were pessimists. Other studies have linked a pessimistic explanatory style with higher rates of infectious disease, poor health, and earlier mortality.
Greater Achievement
Another study showed that pessimistic swimmers who were led to believe they’d done worse than they had were prone to future poor performance. Optimistic swimmers didn’t have this vulnerability.
Persistence
Optimists don’t give up as easily as pessimists, and they are more likely to achieve success because of it.
Emotional Health
It Can Always Be Worse
I took a drive around Sharm the morning after the storm, thinking that what I had been through was the worst ever. My house was leaking all night, my windows were shattered, my car almost drowned, and outside my house was all muddy.
I had mixed feelings – there was a sense of sorrow, yet a strange sense of happiness in myself – it was almost like I was happy I went through something like that and survived. I grew up in Kenya, where it used to rain a lot – most of April, and the day always keep going on normally. Less than 12 hours of rain here left me feeling like my world was almost tumbling down.
Sports Cafe
The new Sports Café in Horus Mall, Il Mercato is one of the best places to catch the latest matches and keep track of all the upcoming one too. Even though Sports café has only recently opened, it has already managed to make a name for itself.

Lego: another creative toy…Lego is all those colored brick that you put together to form such objects as vehicles, buildings, and even working robots. Anything constructed can then be taken apart again, and the pieces used to make other objects. The toys were originally designed in the 1940s in Europe. The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company came to be called Lego. It expanded to producing plastic toys in 1940. In 1949, Lego began producing the now famous interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks".

Tyres to be more eco-friendly from 2012
Tyres will have to be labelled from 2012 to include information on their energy efficiency, wet grip and noise impact, according to a new EU proposal which is meant to improve their quality.
Although the new labelling system may increase production costs, the European Commission hopes it will be compensated for by a decrease in fuel consumption due to the efficiency of the new tyres.
The new rules would also provide for the possibility that member states provide incentives in order to promote the use of more fuel efficient tyres, however, it will be up to every member state to come up with these incentives.

Do Women Really Believe the Earth is Flat? If they Venture Forth Will they Fall off the Edge?
I do not walk in front of my man to test the ground for landmines.
(E.Moon)
The ‘F’ word has no place in my vocabulary.
Instead I have a belief in ‘EOG’
Feminism is an outdated adjective.
EOG sounds more like a substance to save the planet doesn’t it? However it is my own personal belief in ‘Equality of Genders.’ There now I have said it.
Feminism has been around since the 18th century. In 1792 May Wollstonecraft published her Vindication on the Rights of Woman, an important work advocating the rights of women.
Mary’s attitude stems from being born the daughter of a brutish, tyrannical father who bullied his wife into an exhausted state of servitude.
My answer to the male gender that retains the belief they can chain a woman’s mind and body is simply, “get a grip.” No one can own or chain a mind, you cannot steal another human being’s thoughts and you cannot strangle a soul.
An Expert's Guide To Bargain Shopping In Cairo
By Soraya Morayef
Anyone who claims that they can’t find bargain shopping in Cairo is delusional. First of all, we Egyptians love a good bargain; we may not have created the concept of sales and discounts, but we very well could have. Just take a look at any discount store around the world (Primark, Dollar Store, Forever 21), and you may find several of us arguing loudly over the Sale of the Day rack.
