begins with one step. PRIME TIME DAR is that amazing step which enhances my 16 years career as a journalist. I have learnt throughout the years of my career that in order to enjoy life you must enjoy the journey. Good things come sometimes when you do not expect! Sometimes best things come when you least expect it! One of the many joys of being at Prime Time DAR is meeting inspired and energetic people who make helping others their mission. This brings me to another component of change: embracing the unexpected and seeing what new directions it brings. Therefore that is exactly what I look forward to in the upcoming issues of PRIME TIME DAR. When you think of lifestyle magazines, however, no one expects the giddiness of a cheerleader who was just handed the school spirit award. But after months of planning this issue and watching everyone’s work take shape, the anticipation of delivering it was powerful. So, finally, here we are. Where is here? Glad you asked. This is issue 6!

A CLOSE

Shave and swipe

'5678

Shave with one stroke and rinse your blade between every swipe. Remember that sharp blades cut without pulling hairs, so be sure to change your blade often to avoid a dull razor. And always shave with the grain of the hair and not against it, as it can lead to skin irritation or ingrown hairs.

Keep it nice and steady

If you sport a 5 o’clock shadow like George Clooney or decided to grow a beard like Brad Pitt, your morning routine isn’t complete without shaving.

A lot of men are shaving too close to their skin. For example, shaving bumps around their neck area is caused by shaving too close to the follicle. The skin on the neck is thinner and more sensitive. Most likely the hair has an upward grain or a cowlick on the portion where the irritation occurs, so

“

Industry insiders predict that around 60% of men think they have sensitive skin

the key is to go with the grain on those sensitive areas to prevent ingrown hair.

Throw out old and raggedy razors Another mistake men make is not changing their razor frequently. A dull blade can lead to nicks, which means the razor isn’t going through the beard. Thus, your skin is susceptible to being cut and razor burn can result from forcing the dull razor aggressively across the face. Lastly, the dull razor can agitate the hair follicle, causing ingrown hairs.

Use a good after-shave balm or moisturizer To relieve any irritation, barbers suggest you finish your shave with a post-shave balm or moisturizer that will soothe your skin. Stick with alcohol-free products to avoid dryness. Do this and you will see significant changes in the overall But do you really know what you’re doing with that razor?

“The positive part about my life is that I’m getting so much love from my fans, maybe more than what I deserve. I’m always grateful for that.”

The majority is earned by sponsoring or merchandising. The better a soccer club performs, the more attention they receive, the more money is made. That’s why clubs are paying astronomic figures to lure in the best soccer players. So who are the most expensive soccer players by transfer value for this year? Lets find out!

Gareth Bale Gareth Bale’s transfer from Tottenham to the queen of football-Real Madrid was not only this year’s most expensive deal but one of the priciest in the history of football, with the cost rising up to 100 million euro! Spurs president, Daniel Levy, locked the deal, after he met with the he administrative leader of Tottenham in Madrid and agreed to the terms and of course the amount. Along the side he agreed repaying the dizzying amount in three doses, having given the necessary guarantees.

Plan your trip. Learn as much information about the trail as you can; inform family or friends of your whereabouts, notarize local authorities, acquire advance weather forecast; check your bike; develop necessary biking skills; improve your endurance and strength; and travel light - prepare only the necessary items for the trip. Try cycling with a group, as this makes riding fun and enjoyable. Once you are out in the rough terrain, do not ride beyond your capabilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you are uncomfortable with the terrain, find another trail until you are comfortable with the tougher landscapes. Never attempt to cross a cliff or river if you think you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. Do not accelerate when approaching sharp curves or uneven terrain. Always keep your speed in check and stay focused all the time. Walk and carry your bike if need be. Working your muscles for a prolonged period of time produces sweat. Make sure that you replace the lost body fluids by hydrating regularly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; small and frequent sips. Drink water or natural energy drinks. Do not substitute water with soda, coffee or tea. Cycling in the Tanzanian climate is challenging, hot and dusty, but for enthusiasts, it is certainly an opportunity not to be missed, so go out and find the nearest cycling trial!

WIND, WEATHER AND WATER Sun, wind and waves are at their best January - February and June July, but conditions are good from mid-December - March and June September. Wind blows left to right for the first season’s trade winds and switch for the second season. Expect cross-on 12 - 20 knot winds December - March and 14 - 25 knots cross-on from the north from June September, but be prepared for days of 30 knots, too. Average air temps: 30°C / 86°F water: 27°C / 80°F. For long days and downwinders a shorty is recommended.

How to choose your Kitesurfing gear

So, what do I need?

Kites Most modern kites have excellent depower - which is what you want when you’re starting out. Being able to ditch the power is great for confidence when you’re at the start of kitesurfing’s steep learning curve. So steer clear of C kites (like the Naish Torch or the Hadlow Pro) as, although these have much more depower than a few years ago, they are freestyle power machines, and a lot less forgiving than Bow (full depower) and Hybrid (high depower) kites.

Expect nothing less but brilliance from the BMW camp.

BMW 4 SERIES COUPE BMW coupes have always been about dynamics and the driver’s riding pleasure, so even though the 4-Series badge might be new, we still expect nothing less but brilliance from the BMW camp. For a start, the new coupe looks incredible. The exterior is well proportioned and the interior is synonymous with BMW quality - good ergonomics with even some brighter interior colours. The car gives the impression that it is big and wide and makes itself felt on narrow roads. The 4 series boasts electric power steering, and while it is good as the better systems of its type, is doesn’t quite steer as faithfully as its predecessor, the old 3-Series coupe. It also seems to be a little heavier, however, the 435i bucks the trend by being 15kg lighter than the old 335i coupe.
