Dear Friends, I hope you have been getting the best out of the annual summer holiday season. I also trust you have not been lax in making sure that your family is enjoying the necessary stress-burning recreational activities to prepare each of them, especially the school children, for a fresh start next month.

Here in Accra, Mrs Edwige Eppromo and her colleagues of ‘Winners Partners Groupe’ hosted the 2016 edition of the African Soup Fair dubbed ‘Trôofê Festival’, where Trôofê means tasty soups in Côte d’Ivoire’s Agni language, at the Mmofra Park Foundation at Dzorwulu on Republic Day. We at ENJOY Magazine salute the initiative as a meaningful step in the right direction when it comes to uplifting and upholding our rich African culture while fostering togetherness, solidarity, understanding and, for that matter, peace among us all.

The Embassy of France and the Embassy of Colombia in Accra availed themselves of the opportunities of the commemoration of their respective National Days (227th for France and 206th for Columbia) in July to reiterate the resolves of their two countries to consolidate the bonds of friendship, partnership, cooperation and trust with the host country Ghana. We bring you in this issue pictures from the receptions held for the two occasions.

Still in the spirit of friendship and cooperation between Ghana and its partners in the field of culture, renowned Colombian poet, María Gómez Lara, was on tour in the country at the invitation of Her Excellency Ambassador Claudia Turbay Quintero of Colombia to interact with Ghanaian colleague poets and writers. We had the privilege of participating in a literary encounter in her honour at PAWA house, chaired by Professor Atukwei Okai. Read our reportage in this issue, and grab the opportunity to see some absolutely brilliant Ghanaian poets who featured in the meeting with their highly talented Colombian counterpart.

Finally, South African wine producers assembled at WOSA ― i.e. Wines of South Africa ― made it a point to acknowledge Ghana as a competitive market for South African wines by organising for the second time a wine-tasting event at the Mövenpick Hotel in Accra, where connoisseurs, lovers of the ‘beverage of the gods’ and other fellows tried out the world-class wines on offer. Pictures from the event are inside.

Stay out of trouble, love one another and see you soon in our next issue!

MTN LAUNCHES FIRST NATIONWIDE ON-THE-GO 4G SERVICE IN GHANA social lives, ultimately boosting national development.”

A

Accra, June 22, 2016 - MTN, Ghana’s leading telecommunications service provider, has launched its 4G LTE services commercially in all 10 regions of Ghana, approximately six months after acquiring the 4G LTE 800MHz spectrum license in December last year.

The launch was done in a symbolic public broadcast across the country with experiential set ups at the MTN House in Accra and other commercial centers across MTN’s business units. The innovative event included real-time streaming on YouTube, of videos of live activations captured by MTN 4G-SIM-enabled drones, and was positioned to allow MTN customers to participate in the launch while experiencing a handson feel of the service.

Announcing the service, the CEO of MTN Ghana Mr. Ebenezer Asante expressed conviction about the extent to which 4G technology can positively impact growth and development in Ghana. He stated, “MTN 4G LTE service is changing the telecommunication landscape of Ghana for good. MTN’s is the first and only 4G service that enables users to experience higher-speed mobile internet on the same mobile phone from which they make and receive voice calls.

It is also the only 4G service available in all regional capitals and key towns of Ghana.” He added, “With faster internet, the transmission of data in the form of text, images or video/TV can be done with ease, onthe-go, with the best speed.

by MTN makes it the first mobile telecommunications operator in Ghana to offer 4G technology. MTN customers can access 4G LTE on their mobile phones as well as other mobile devices such as routers, mifi devices and dongles.

Soon after acquiring its 800 MHz spectrum in December 2015 at a cost of $67.5 million, the Company announced it was focused on working hard to expedite implementation, given the importance of higherspeed broadband to national development. As at commercial launch on Tuesday, over 400 MTN 4G sites were operational in regional capitals and key towns such as Obuasi, Tarkwa and Agona Swedru, with an additional 30 deployed and soon to be operationalized. The company is investing $18 million in deployment of a total of 475 4G LTE sites in 2016.

To enjoy the service, subscribers may visit any MTN service center with a valid ID to have their SIM cards swapped for a 4G LTE SIM card. MTN customers can also check their phone's compatibility by dialing *585# and following the prompts. A compatible 4G device may also be obtained from any MTN Service “MTN 4G LTE service Centre or Phone shop. is changing the 4G LTE is the fourth telecommunication generation of mobile landscape of Ghana phone communication for good.” technology standard beyond 3G. The technology comes in two main versions– LTE and WiMAX. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution, and it is generally accepted that LTE is the fastest, most consistent and widely used version of 4G. The technology is designed to deliver five to ten times the speed of 3G data speed on devices such as phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.

MTN Ghana has consistently been the first to launch innovative products and services into the Ghanaian market since its entry into Ghana. e

The House with the Golden Windows

A

A little girl who lived in a small, very simple, poor house on a hill and as she grew, she would play in the small garden. She was able to see over the garden fence and across the valley to a wonderful house high on the hill. This house had golden windows, so golden and shining that the little girl would dream of how magical it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers.

And although she loved her parents and her family, she yearned to live in such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and exciting it must feel to live there.

When she got to an age where she gained enough skill and sensibility to go outside her garden fence, she asked her mother whether she could go for a bike ride outside the gate and down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she kept close to the house and didn’t wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she rode her bike until she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill.

As she dismounted her bike and learned it against the gate post, she focused on the path that lead to the house and then on the house itself.

She was so disappointed as she realized all the windows were plain and rather dirty, reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that stood derelict.

Saddened she didn’t go any further and turned, heartbroken as she remounted her bike. As she glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her.

There, across the way on her side of the valley, was a little house and its windows glistened golden as the sun shone on her little home.

She realized that she had been living in her golden house and all the love and care she found there was what made her home the “golden house”. Everything she dreamed was right there in front of her nose! e Author unknown

The beer pools began in 2005 when an old fermentation cellar became obsolete. Relaxing in the hot tubs of beer may actually be good for you: it is believed that the nutrients in the beer help condition skin and may help cure wounds and psoriasis.

The problem was, no one knew what to call the newly elected Official because there were no precedents for addressing an elected President. Some of the suggestions then read: Most Illustrious and Excellent President; Your Most Benign Highness; His Highness, the President of the United States, and Protector of the Rights of the Same; His Majesty the President; His Elective Highness; etc. The debate ended with the suggestion of calling Washington Mr. President.

However, urine does not collect at the bottom of the bladder in low gravity environments. Hence in space, it takes longer for the bladder to register as full. In fact, it does so only when the bladder is almost totally full. e

SHOWCASING THE BEST OF SA WINES: WOSA Wows For The Second Time he second edition of WOSA (Wines of South Africa)’s winetasting event held at the Movenpick Hotel was an entertaining and informative affair.

Industry insiders, professionals in wine distribution, production and marketing, wine connoisseurs and wine lovers alike mingled while trying out the large selection of world-class South African wines on offer. The well-attended fair also gave people the opportunity to interact with those in the hospitality and tourism industry, while affording consumers the opportunity to become more discerning when selecting wine and to have a better understanding of the various types of wines on the market.

This year’s event was held alongside preliminaries to select a hospitality industry/service worker for the Sommelier World Cup competition taking place in South Africa this September. One lucky guest won an all-expenses paid trip to Cape Town to attend the prestigious competition.

The fair was a continuation of WOSA’s recognition of Ghana as a competitive market for South African wines, thus the organization has committed to continue to grow their brands in Ghana.

WOSA is an all-inclusive, nongovernmental body that represents all South African producers of wine and aims to promote the export of SA wines in key international markets. e

France-Ghana Friendship Celebrated on Bastille Day in Accra

T

he Ambassador of France, His Excellency Mr François Pujolas, and Mrs Revati Pujolas welcomed distinguished guests to the Residence of France in Accra on 14th July 2016, Bastille Day, to celebrate, according to the Ambassador, the “unique and special friendship” between Ghana and his country.

In attendance at this year’s commemoration of the French National Day was a delegation of the Government of Ghana led by Mr Mahama Ayariga, Honourable Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, as well as other Ministers of State, including Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah (Trade and Industry) and Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo (Greater Accra Region).

Other dignitaries included Members of Parliament, members of the Diplomatic

Corps, heads of State institutions, members of the business community, cultural, sport and civil societies, all in perfect symbiosis with the French community.

Topics HE. Mr Pujolas addressed in his speech spanned a wide range of issues including FranceGhana cooperation in matters of Security, Economy, Development, Education and Culture.

Ambassador Pujolas identified the issue of security as the “main challenge” today. He pointed out the cooperation being developed between France and Ghana in the field of defence and security, through military training and effective anti-terrorism and antidrug trafficking programs. He also expressed his country’s support to Ghana making regional integration

a priority, given that the aim is to ensure peace, stability and economic development of the region.

Ambassador Pujolas said France, along with the French speaking world, wished to deepen bonds with Ghana, which completes 10 years of membership of the International Organisation of Francophonie (IOF) this year. He stressed that such ties were not only human, linguistic and cultural, but also political and economic. He averred that the knowledge of the French language would be an asset for the Ghanaian youth in their future career. He then highlighted the fact that the two countries shared a common vision on various issues.

ASK Billie...

Billie Richardson is a Holistic Psychotherapist. A French national, she studied in the UK and has been practicing in Accra for the past 12 years. She is the CEO of the Corporate Counselling’, located at Roman Ridge Arcades at Airport Residential Area.

“Sometimes women expect their men to guess what is wrong instead of telling them, which is wrong because men have not really been known for their psychic abilities.”

Dear Billie, I have been married for two years.

At first it was really great and then she changed before my very eyes.

She complains about everything I do. When I come home early from work she will find some reason for us to argue. When I have a drink with friends after work, she complains that my friends mean more to me.

She has her own imperfections, but I take her as she is. Why can’t she do the same for me? Her nagging has reached the point that I don’t even want to go home after work anymore, which I know is bad. Do you have any ideas I can try?

Leonard, Tema

has become increasingly difficult to come home early. It looks like there is no pleasing her. Some people are like that! Nothing we do for them is good enough.

You might want to give it one more shot though. Sit her down and ask her what is really going on in her life.

Maybe she has some other problem you are not aware of, which is affecting her mood. We often take out our frustration on our nearest and dearest because we feel safe in their love to do this. I think you two need to talk. Encourage her to talk about herself. Sometimes women expect their men to guess what is wrong instead of telling them, which is wrong because men have not really been known for their psychic abilities, right?

Check what you do when you come home early. Do you simply eat and doze off in front of the television? Do you genuinely ask her how her day went? Do you take her out alone for a romantic dinner?

Women love to be pampered and maybe that is what she’s yearning for. Give it a try. e Good luck ----------------------Dear Billie, I have started a business with a friend. It is doing very well at the moment, but we have different ideas about what to do next. I see it as a long term venture, and my friend claims he does too.

The problem is, I want us to take

reasonable salaries, and reinvest in the business. He, on the other hand, wants to live like a big shot.

He wants us to splash out on cars and posh offices and meet our clients at expensive hotels. I have spoken frankly to him about my reservations but nothing has changed. We are both signatories to the company account so we are fighting about money all the time now. I have considered going solo but we make a good team, and I have invested so much in the current business, both financially and emotionally that I do not want to leave. Is there a solution? e Kwaku, Labone Dear Kwaku, Yes, you do have a serious problem because this business partner of yours might be your downfall.

Like you said, you have invested too much to see the money be squandered on posh cars and expensive hotels. He wants to enjoy the fast life because he doesn’t have the same vision you have for the business.

It will become more of a problem if you do not put a stop to it as soon as possible. You say you make a good team, yes, but how long will that last if you two argue about how the money earned should be managed?

Trust me; I don’t believe your partner will change anytime soon, some people are like that! Striking out on your own might be the only solid solution for you at this present time. Maybe in the future when he has lost all his hard-earned money, he will understand what you were trying to do. e Good luck -----------------------

Advice Corner

Dear Billie, My mother died recently and I am finding it very hard to cope. She was always there for me and we meant a lot to each other (I was her favourite child). We had our disagreements but the bond was always there. While she was alive, I refused to accept the fact that one day she would be no more.

Now it has happened, and I don’t know how to cope. I have tried everything, working harder, playing harder, nothing seems to work.

Will I ever get over this? I am really troubled, and people can tell that I am not myself. Is there a way that I can get back to normal? e Adwoa, Madina

One thing that might help you through this very hard transition is to remember all the good times you shared together and imagine what she would tell you to comfort you if you could hear her now. She would tell you that she is fine where she is now and feels no pain; she would tell you that she is beside you every minute of the day to give you support. She would probably also tell you not to cry because she had a good life and now it is your turn.

You will also have children one day and the cycle will continue. We cannot keep our beloved parents with us always but we can carry their memory in our hearts. If you try really hard, I’m sure you can sometimes feel her near you or

smell her perfume, right? She is there with you at all times because she loved and still loves you. All will be well but you need to give it some time. e Good luck -----------------------

“She would tell you that she is fine where she is now and feels no pain.”

Dear Adwoa, Losing a parent is never easy, we all know that, but especially so when we are very close to them!

It will take time for you to get over it though because I feel it has just happened. I am sure she gave you all the tools you need to cope in life while she was alive but you cannot access them yet because you are still grieving. It will unfold with time. Be easy on yourself and don’t expect to function normally for some time.

A woman of noble convictions, María Gómez Lara, expressed her vision of the arts: “Art makes you put yourself in the position of the other, makes you feel for the other and that is what the world needs most”.

As the night went on, it was equally gratifying listening to her Ghanaian colleagues who took to the floor after her to recite their own beautiful pieces of poetry. They were Patrick Richard Okine with ‘Toy Soldier’; Klorkor Okai-Mills with ‘Salutations for a Brother Gone’; Michael Kwaku Kesse Somuah with a poem from his ‘Africa and Poetry, An Unfinished Song’; Nana Efua Rockson; Shakira Akiyemi; and the duo Daphne M.

Ambassador Quintero underlined the “rich and growing political agenda, institutional relations, and South-South Cooperation, in various areas of mutual interest” between Ghana and her country. She was glad the cooperation has yielded specific activities in the fields of health, culture, sports, and the promotion of trade and investment, which gave her cause to believe that Colombia and Ghana “will arrive at a booming point in the not so distant future, in the fields of trade and investment which have to be promoted and incentivized”.

4 Easy Discipline Tips

I

n an ever changing world where information and influences are plentiful, a strong, clear and consistent bond between you and your child is essential. A big part of your relationship is discipline.

But where should one start?

First you need to ask yourself these three questions : Am I disciplining in a way that damages or teaches my child a life lesson?

Is my current and chosen form of discipline helping my child to develop self-control?

Is my current and chosen form of discipline creating a healthier, more balanced relationship between us that will last a lifetime?

“Think about what sort of behaviour you want your children to develop.”

or a pat on the back. This will do wonders for his/her rule-following, motivation and self-esteem.

4. Be Consistent yet Flexible

There is so much to say on the subject but let us start with 4 basic steps:

1.Talk with One Voice

Provide a united front with your significant other. If you are in a twoparent family or in an extended family, each of you may have different parenting views or styles.

Discuss this in advance and decide together the family values you want your child to learn, the rules you want him/her to follow and the consequences that will result from not following these rules.

If you omit this, your toddler will become confused, and “appear to misbehave”.

2. Match Words to Actions

Children learn primarily through watching examples rather than hearing words. Think about what sort of behaviour you want your

children to develop. Your child is very aware of your actions and the tone of your voice, so if you tell him/ her to behave one way but then do the opposite, you are going to confuse him/her. Actions speak louder than words. If you expect your child to sit at the table for dinner or wash his hands before a meal, you must do the same.

As a child grows, so does his/her self discipline. So the rules you put in place must be relevant to your child’s age. They must correspond to what your child can understand and execute. If you know already that there are situations or places that cause conflict, have a 3 minute serious talk of what is allowed and what is not just before walking in. e Kamilla Kirpalani

3. Focus on the Good

Have you ever wondered why we tend to spend most of the day correcting our child’s behaviour?

This only encourages more of the same. Do correct and guide unacceptable behaviours, but concentrate on commenting favourably on behaviors you want instead, even if it is just a smile

Ben Bentil:

The Ghanaian Basketball Success Story month ago media buzz was around a young man from the land of the Black Star who was knocking on the doors of the NBA. On 23 June 2016 that door was opened and it ushered in a new era for basketball. For the first time in the history of the sport, a Ghanaian by nationality and birth was drafted into the NBA. This is not the story of a kid born in the diaspora to Ghanaian parents with no knowledge of the average Ghanaian’s daily experience. This is the beginning of the chronicling of a story that a kid shooting free throws on the pothole-riddled courts of Ashaiman can relate to.

A

Ben Bentil was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 51st pick in the second round of the 2016 NBA Draft. That puts him in quite good company. The Boston Celtics have been in the process of rebuilding for some time now as is evident by the high number of picks (8) they had on the night. All 8 players selected are ‘bigs’ and what makes Bentil stand out from this pack is his impressive scoring skills. Coming into the draft, some analysts considered him as the best scorer in a draft which had big names like Ingram, Buddy Hield, Simmons and Kris Dunn.

With the ever growing traction basketball is currently seeing in Ghana, Bentil stands out as an icon for the game in Ghana. The country’s fixation with the game is demonstrated by the ubiquity of LeBron James and Steph Curry jerseys in town and the number of people who stay up late to watch live NBA games. With Bentil in the NBA, we should be seeing more and more plush green Celtics jerseys on the streets of Accra.

By Shafic Osman

“With Bentil in the NBA, we should be seeing more and more plush green Celtics jerseys on the streets of Accra.”

In other West African countries, people like him are celebrated national figures. Their faces are plastered on centre spreads of national dailies and they become distinguished figures given the arduousness of their journey and their symbolism as global ambassadors. Basketball players are seen as the “coolest” of athletes: the swagger with which they play and their jaw-dropping athleticism attract even non-athletic folk.

Benjamin Bentil’s work ethic and story so far puts him on track to become a household name in the near future. He will always be the “first Ghanaian born to make it to the NBA”. The symbolism of that is huge and places him as a very marketable icon. The sooner people realize these immense marketing possibilities, the larger the gains that may be reaped. e Shafic Osman is a sports blogger (senioryearinlegon.wordpress.com), basketball enthusiast and student at the University of Ghana 34 | Jul-Aug 2016 ENJOY No 111

Relationships

4 Things Guys Love About Going on Vacation as a Couple aking your first couples vacation is a huge deal. This is the crucible, the Eliminator, of couple's events. You're trapped with each other for at least a long weekend, likely a week.

You've got nothing but each other. A little trepidation is understandable, but rest assured he's seriously pumped for your getaway.

T

1. Planning is actually kind of fun. If you're one of those lovable nut jobs who's obsessed with making laminated itineraries, the more complicated your vacation, the better. You've got plans for getting to the airport, a packing list, and hour-by-hour plans for each day to maximize your time. Part of the fun of going away together is living vicariously through the planning process, which basically makes the vacation feel like it's already started. If you start color-coding your various destinations though, you've probably gone too far.

2. There are absolutely zero responsibilities. No arguing over who does the dishes, or checking your phone for work emails. You can just focus on each other. Or on napping outside. Maybe napping outside together, if you want to Venn diagram those goals.

3. The memories. Whether it rained all week or you had the time of your lives, you're going to have memories you can talk about for as long as you're together forever. It's nice to know you'll have things to put in your scrapbook that you'll rediscover years from now or share memories that you'll laugh about every time they come up.

4. You're pushing each other out of your comfort zones. There's no routine to fall back on here. No "let's just throw on Netflix and cuddle." So you'll get to experience lots of new things and compromise so you can do something your partner is really excited about. Maybe you wanted to hike and your boyfriend is glad you dragged him along. Maybe he pulled you into a museum you never would've gone to on your own. e

Pisen Ghana – The Power Story

our young, dedicated, energetic and forward-looking Ghanaians are behind the implantation of Pisen Ghana: Daniel Osafo, Leslie Okyere, Lantei Mills and Nana Boafo Gyamerah-Ako, founders of Contemporary African & Proud Products Limited.

F

Here is how they have explained their underlying motivations: “As the power situation was becoming a major hindrance to the need of Ghanaians to stay connected, we saw an opportunity in the market to help our people to meet that basic modern times requirement. As young entrepreneurs who identify as mere consumers, our thinking was centred on providing a sustainable solution that would not cost the average person an arm and a leg. We just wanted to help remedy the situation and our discovery led to a decision that would produce Ghana’s current market leader in mobile accessories”.

The four young entrepreneurs managed therefore to acquire, in December 2014, the exclusive rights to market and distribute products from the Pisen global franchise in Ghana and West Africa.

“Ours was a simple operation to begin with – sell to as many who need power-banks.”

Now, what has the story been so far: “Ours was a simple operation to begin with – sell to as many who need power-banks. In a story that draws similarities with many successful businesses conceived from the simplest of ideas, our small business snowballed organically and rolled straight into the lead. The truth is, none of the 4 founding team members expected the current explosion of demand in just under 20 months, but we were prepared”.

The company currently employs a core group of capable individuals in various capacities overseeing a comprehensive operation that covers the entire country. It boasts a distribution network that has presence in the

retail shops of all the major telecom companies and over 40 major shops in the open market.

Pisen Ghana’s first sale was hand-delivered. However, it currently interacts with thousands of shoppers via online retail channels, coordinated activation activities and targeted sales drives nationwide.

Its range of products has expanded from power-banks of various capacities to general mobile accessories, like Bluetooth devices, cords and cables, and protective accessories.

Its current efforts are geared towards expansion in the West African sub-region with the aim to largely replicate the success of the Ghanaian operation in neighbouring countries. The idea however remains simple: to provide basic cost-effective solutions to people who need to stay powered up and connected on the go.

“Our team remains young, hungry and fresh-minded. The current core team which numbers just over 20 has a mean age below 30. We consider ourselves as learners who are not afraid to tap into the vast pool of expertise in the market to handle the variety of situations we are presented with. Our business is our school, our lives, our lover and our teacher. We are committed to working hard to achieve results and have surpassed our own aims by quite some distance. But any achievements in these infant years will mean nothing if we are unable to take our simple idea of providing solutions to everyone within our reach. The future is exciting and we are prepared for it”. e

HORO SCOPE Aries

21/3-20/04 This time of year generally brings a bigger focus on home and family life for you, dear Aries, as the Sun moves through your solar fourth house until the third week of July. This year, Venus and Mercury are here as well (until the 12th and 14th, respectively), and you're likely to feel especially domestic.

It's a time for making memories with family and special people in your life.

It's certainly a more introspective time for you, and your ruler, Mars, in your solar eighth house all month reinforces this theme even further. Even so, as July progresses, you'll focus more and more on ways to have fun, break out of routine, and express yourself in special ways.

New insights, ideas, and plans emerge on the 4-6 related to your personal or domestic life. You are taking more pride in your home and/or family, and it shows. It's a strong time for talking through problems with people you love, or those you live with. You might arrive at an interesting and useful view of your personal history.

Taurus

21/4-21/05 The first half of July is especially strong for communicating, learning, and collaborating, dear Taurus. The fog over a relationship is lifting, and increased clarity about where you stand with others is empowering. You can begin the month quite busy and in demand, but mostly pleasantly so. You may be dealing with more than the usual emails, texts, paperwork, phone calls, and errands. It's not always easy to concentrate, but you're keeping busy 42 | Jul-Aug 2016 ENJOY No 111

Leo

KNOW YOUR SIGNS

and mentally stimulated now.

Famous : Leo

The 4-6 can be a great time for birthing ideas, especially revolving around information systems, communications, and learning.

Van Vicker

Gemini

22/5-21/06 Inspired business ideas, new interests, and increased motivation to take care of health and work are themes this month, dear Gemini. You have a strong need to settle in, address comfort and security issues, and enjoy the more predictable side of your life in the first half of July. A desire to build your "nest" is with you, and opportunities to do so abound.

While finances are subject to ups and downs, you're nevertheless likely to come out ahead. There is more pride in what you own and what you make, so that it's a good period for thinking about ways to improve your business and/or home life, for asking for a raise, and for taking care of valuables. Patience is a real virtue now.

The 4-6 is especially strong for insight into money and business matters, as well as for wiping the slate clean and moving forward with a new and improved plan or budget. This is also a strong month for improved motivation for pursuing work and health goals.

Blocks lift and projects are moving ahead.

Horoscope

Cancer

Libra

Capricorn

This is a month for moving your personal projects and interests ahead, dear Cancer. You can pretty much count on increased vitality and personal appeal.

While you may have been making everyone else in your life happy lately, now it feels quite natural and necessary to take care of your own needs. Clashes in values or conflicts over money may be issues in July, but money matters improve overall. It's a strong month for making an investment or for clearing some debt.

Your ambitions are stimulated this month, dear Libra, but you also enjoy contributing to a team or group effort, where you can also shine. Your support is rewarded, as others can come to your aid or inform you of an opportunity for personal advancement. With your strong involvement with friends, associates, and career, you will need to find a balance when it comes to attention to family, who will remind you of this around the Full Moon on the 19th. The first half of the month is particularly strong for streamlining your routines, rewarding research, and high motivation levels for work and health. The New Moon on the 4th brings fresh energy for career and reputation matters.

Relationship matters figure strongly this month, dear Capricorn. Any lingering frustrations with a partner or concerning relationships can reach a head around the Full Moon on the 19th, but ultimately you're turning over a new leaf and seeing nice improvements to your interactions this month.Stimulating friendships and group activities, as well as increasing energy, are featured in July. Not only do you seem to need the energies and support of others, they are more dependent on you as well. Do your best to promote mutually beneficial relationships. You have plenty of cosmic support for getting relationships back on track.

22/6-23/07

Leo

24/7-23/08 The first couple of weeks of July tend to be quiet for you, dear Leo, at least on the surface of things. Try to treat this period as a time for gathering your energies and for closing important projects and endeavors - even a relationship for some of you.

You can be rather withdrawn until mid-month as you prepare for a new astrological year and build up your energy reserves. Personal charisma runs high, however, and love matters are strong.

A relationship may benefit from some anonymity or time spent under the radar now. Your private life is especially animated in July. There are some loose ends to tie this month.

Virgo

24/8-23/09 July is strong for feeling a comfortable level of forward movement, dear Virgo.

Conversations open up this month, and you stand to either make a new connection that lasts in the long term, or to enhance the bond of an existing one. Projects begin to gain some momentum. Your social life is lively and seems to go your way for the most part. While the desire to be with friends is strong this month, however, be careful that you don't over-commit in the process, as you're likely to feel the weight of your obligations later in July if you do. Be helpful and involved, but avoid the tendency to forget your own needs in the process.

24/9-23/10

Scorpio

24/10-22/11

The month begins spiritedly, dear Scorpio.

Mars is now moving direct in your sign, and while it's still moving relatively slowly, it's picking up speed. Your independence and freedom are especially important to you in July, and your desire nature is very powerful. You're much clearer about what you want and personal projects are moving forward. You may need to tone it down a little, but if you use this period well, you'll have all the courage necessary to make your dreams happen. Your energy levels run high -- sometimes too high --and your pioneering instincts are strong.

Sagittarius

22/12-20/01

Aquarius

21/01-19/02 The month ahead is strong for more clarity and direction, dear Aquarius, particularly regarding career and life path goals. You're also in a very strong position to pick up, resume, or step up health improvement programs. Work, health, and routine matters absorb much of your attention and time in the first half of the month, and you can be quite productive. The 4-6 is strong for fresh new beginnings on these fronts, as well as for gaining important insight into a work or health issue. Doing your best work and taking pride in what you do are a focus for you now. Be careful that you don't take on more than your share.

23/11-21/12

The first half of the month is rather introspective, dear Sagittarius, and quite valuable for picking up on things you might normally miss. You can get very special insight into an intimate relationship and/or your own intimate needs, particularly on the 6th, 10th, and 16th. Your perceptions are especially keen. You might also begin to look at long-term financial plans from a new and improved perspective from the 5-6.You have all of the necessary tools at your disposal to make important changes to your spending and borrowing habits this month, particularly in the week following the New Moon on the 4th. It's in fact a great time for devising plans and strategies, researching, studying a topic in more depth, and finding solutions to longstanding problems.

Pisces

20/02-20/03 There can be many opportunities to enjoy and express yourself in creative ways this month, dear Pisces.

Entertainment, hobbies, good times, and perhaps some romance in the first half of July. You are likely to find nice outlets for self-expression now, particularly through unusual, adventurous, educational, and creative activities. You have many interests. Projects surrounding publishing and learning can move ahead this month. Energy levels are increasing and creative abilities are in great form. You have a taste for the exotic, adventurous, and perhaps speculative.

Makeup Looks Sure to Stay Put, Even When It's Hot Out

W

Wedding season is upon us, and between the outfit, the gift, and the transportation, you've got more than enough on your plate to worry about. But one thing you won't have to stress over? Your beauty look. Whether you are heading to a garden fete or a beachside soirée, with the right products, you can create two heat-proof beauty looks that will last you from the ceremony straight through to the reception. Keep reading for a flawless and perfected look that will give your face a radiant glow for daytime and can seamlessly transition into a sultry, smoky cat eye for evening. When the warm weather arrives, you will be ready to break it down on the dance floor — these sweat-resistant looks won't stop you.

“Wedding season is here but don't sweat it! We will show you how to keep your makeup looking flawless even as the temperature rises..”

Sweat-proof makeup for day If you've ever been fearful of your makeup fading in the heat, or worse, sliding off your face altogether, this sweat-resistant look will be a game changer.

The steps

First, apply a lightweight foundation and concealer, like long-wearings. This product makes achieving a flawless, complete look easy with expertly matched foundation and concealer in one chic compact. Use the applicator to apply all over your face. Choosing a smooth formula that blends seamlessly and feels lightweight is the way to go for hot days.

Pro tip: Compact makeup tends to appear slightly darker in the package. To find the right shade, match your skin to the concealer.

Next, swipe on a finishing powder to set the look.

Add a few light strokes of a highlighting bronzer or blush to accentuate the cheekbones.

Finish off with a matte yet moisturizing lip color.

Beauty tips

The steps

First, apply black pencil to the top lid in a feline flick along with dark shadow at the lash line. Blend both using the smudger attached to the pencil liner in an outward motion from the lash line and crease to create a smoky effect.

Smoky cat eye for evening

Whether you're headed to the dance floor or the afterparty, this smoky cat-eye look will stay in place all night long.

Next, apply a gel liner along the top lash line and bottom waterline, tracing over the top pencil line you made earlier. A gel formula will stay in place as the evening wears on.

Lastly, complement your cat eye with full and long lashes, and coat the top and bottom lashes with a few generous swipes of volume and length mascara. e

“Smoky cat-eye look will stay in place all night long.”

SHORT STORY » kids The Greedy Mouse

T

he sandy cat sat by the kitchen fire. Yesterday it had had no supper; this morning everyone had forgotten it. All night it had caught no mice; all day it had tasted no milk. A little grey mouse, a saucerful of milk, a few fish or chicken bones, would have satisfied it; but no grey mouse, with its soft stringy tail behind it, ran across the floor; no milk was near, no chicken bones, no fish, no anything. The serving-maid had been washing clothes, and was hanging them out to dry. The children had loitered on their way to school, and were wondering what the master would say to them. The father had gone to the fair to help a neighbour to choose a horse. The mother sat making a patchwork quilt. No one thought of the sandy cat; it sat by the fire alone and hungry.

At last the clothes were all drying, the children had been scolded, and sat learning a lesson for the next day. The father came from the fair, and the patchwork quilt was put away. The serving-maid put on a white apron with a frill, and a clean cap, then taking the sandy cat in her arms, said, “Pussy, shall we go into the garden?” So they went and walked up and down, up and down the pathway, till at last they stopped before a rose tree; the serving-maid held up the cat to smell the roses, but with one long bound it leaped from her arms and away-away-away.Where did it go?

Knowledge is power. Learning new things every day helps us grow in many ways. Irrespective of the new aspects we learn, there is massive amount that remains to be learnt.

Visit a Dentist

Raising healthy kids isn’t just limited to eating healthy foods. Maintenance of overall health and wellness is crucial. Plan a dental checkup every six months for your child. Have an overall examination of his / her dental health. Since children are more at risk of developing cavities, it is recommended to plan for a regular / routine dental checkup.

Total time

250 ml (8 fl oz) palm oil 3 medium onions, finely chopped / chunkily chopped 3 large tomatoes, blanched, peeled and mashed Salt and pepper to taste (2 red/ green chillies, ground) 250 g (1/2 lb) diced cooked meat or 250 g (1/2 lb) fish ( e.g. snapper, tuna or salmon) 3 bunches of spinach (sliver beet) or 750 g (1-1/2 lb) frozen spinach (silver beet), washed and chopped 100 g (3-1/2 oz) egushi (ground shelled pumpkin seeds or pepitas)

Directions

Pour palm oil in a saucepan add onions when oil is fairly hot. Fry the onions until golden.

Add the tomatoes, pepper to taste.

Add salt to taste with your choice of diced, cooked meat & fish. Simmer on a low heat, stirring regularly to prevent burning.

Add the spinach (silver beet) to the meat mixture. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until the spinach is soft & cooked. Stir regularly, taking care not to break too much of the fish.

Add the egushi (pumpkin seeds) and stir them into the sauce. Cook for a further 10-15 minutes on low heat.

Serve hot with boiled rice, yams, plantains and Kontomire.

Enjoy!

A delicacy of many natives of West Africa, this dish cannot be originally linked to any West African country. The word “Palava” is coined from the English word Palaver which is derived from the Portuguese word “Palavra”, meaning 'idle chatter'. Whether this meal earned its named from being prepared or enjoyed over idle chatter is still a mystery, however the taste is fabulously exotic.
