All Wads Lead to Love Celebrate Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in a New Way this Year - Helen Keller

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

26

Dar Life I FEBRUARY 2021

The more we love, the deeper our understanding of life will be. In the midst of all of life’s challenges and complications, love stops us in our tracks and changes everything. The power of love is something we should celebrate every day, but Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to be reminded of how special the people we love truly are.

In honor of this annual holiday, Dar Life brings to you some ideas for how to celebrate the occasion, whether you’re single, dating, or have been married for years.

• Buy some roses – give them away or use them to freshen up your living space and remind yourself how much you are loved.

• Make a homemade card for someone.

• Take a weekend trip to Arusha, Zanzibar, Mwanza or Bagamoyo. If you can’t afford to travel, try a “stay-cation”. Book a hotel room in your city for a night or two, turn off your phone and laptop, and enjoy complete relaxation with your loved ones.

• Go to a concert or take dance classes with loved ones.

• Surprise someone you love with a gift that they really need or want.

• Alone? Show yourself some love! Who says that people need a companion for this one day of the year? Treat yourself to a spa visit, a nice meal, or some new perfume.

• Have a classic movie date at the theater with friends and/or your partner. Or set up a drive-in at home, complete with a projector and snacks.

• On small pieces of paper, write down every kind of kiss that you can think of (examples: passionate, on the cheek, etc.). Then fill an inexpensive red felt bag with your “kisses” and give it to your partner.

• Look for restaurants with Valentine’s Day specials, get all dressed up, and enjoy a special dinner with friends or your partner.

• Order food from a take-out restaurant and have a picnic for all the Valentines in your family on your living room floor.

• Cook dinner for your partner or your friends at home. Go all out with a fancy outfit and festive music and decorations.

• If you are separated across the miles, send a care package filled with things that are red.

• Say “I love you” a lot, and mean it!

HOT SEASON BEAUTY UPDATES Maintaining your cool

By Amby Lusekelo

Staying cool and gorgeous in the summer can be tricky especially with the added variable of the dust that has also taken over Dar es Salaam.

Ladies and gentlemen, the tropical summer with the combination of ever rising temperatures, high levels of humidity and sporadic rains, has arrived in all its glory. This may seem completely depressing but not to worry, we got some great tips to help you keep your cool.

e in fi i e right number of accessories also goes a long way in ensuring you are ready for the heat.

Oversized sunglasses, big hair bands, bangle bracelets, print Hobos and even scarves are

Dar Life I FEBRUARY 2021

big this season. Grab a slouchy hobo handbag in a cute, colorful print. These bags will jazz up your wardrobe and are perfect for weekend wear. You can carry these bags with everything from shorts and a tee to your favorite dress. One area that requires approach with caution is make up. Summer heat and dust may leave you looking like a fright!

Use moisturizer sparingly under your makeup and avoid applying it altogether to your nose and forehead if you have an oily or combination skin. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a myth that heavy powdering absorbs sweaty makeup. The initial enefi f e in is e s very quickly in hot weather.

Stick to a light dusting over the central panel of your face. This will absorb shine but leave you with a natural, fresh look. Avoid heavy makeup, particularly matte foundation, as it will run and leave you with a smudged look.

Another summer challenge is maintaining your hair. During the summer, get trims every four weeks to prevent split ends. In addition to this, ensure you treat your hair at least once a week to ensure it is protected from the rising temperatures as well as the dust.Remember wet hair is more prone to breakage so use pins to help create undoes.

Dampen hair with water before swimming and comb in a conditioner after swimming.

Whichever way you chose to keep yourself looking fashionable and cheek during this hot season, remember to keep yourself protected. Direct UV light has harmful effects such as skin cancer so be safe by opting to stand under a shade instead of directly under the sun.

The better you protect yourself, the healthier and better looking you will be.

S

ummer fashion inevitably means showing more skin with shorter hemlines and little to no sleeves. This prospect of showing more skin is usually scary for many however, as we always emphasis, wear what is comfortable to you. However, you must let your skin breathe.

Choose underwear in natural fabrics, preferably cotton or silk. Keep your clothes simple and avoid anything that is too tight. Opt for drawstring pants or skirts, loose tunics and comfortable, elasticated waistbands. Choose cotton, linen or silk for comfort and i n e fi e s.

Get movin

Men who engage in moderate exercise routines (about 1 hour of exercise, 3 times per week) have been found to have better sperm results than men who do not exercise or exercise less than that amount per week (Vaamond et al.

2009). Regular exercise in moderation helps keep body weight at normal levels and relieves stress and anxiety, both of which contribute to proper production of testosterone and healthy sperm.

Aim for about one hour of moderately intense cardiovascular exercise three to four times a week.

Get lenty o rest

Conversely, men with very heavy exercise schedules generally have less healthy sperm (Vaamond et al. 2009). Perhaps surprisingly, intense exercise with little rest between extreme workouts may result in cellular damage, which can impair both the quality and quantity of

sperm. While it only takes one sperm to get pregnant, sperm must be strong and healthy to travel and penetrate the female egg. To allow KPŃ&#x153;LYLU[ WHY[Z VM `V\Y IVK` [V YLZ[ HUK YLZ[VYL themselves, alternate between endurance ^VYRV\[Z Z[YLUN[O [YHPUPUN HUK Ă&#x2026;L_PIPSP[` exercises. Make sure to allow about 2 days of rest between strength training sessions in particular.

Get loose

Mentally, set aside time to relax and release stress. Do what works for you, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meditation, prayer, deep abdominal breathing, or listening to calming music. Physically, wear boxers and loose clothing when possible, especially when exercising. Avoid excessive use of saunas and hot tubs. This will keep the testicles cool and functioning properly.

Get clean

Excessive smoking and drinking have been linked to a host of negative health outcomes, HUK IV[O OH]L KL[YPTLU[HS LŃ&#x153;LJ[Z VU H JV\WSLÂťZ ability to conceive. Smoking tobacco has been linked to low sperm counts and sluggish motility, while long-term use of marijuana can result in abnormally developed sperm.

Alcohol can also reduce the production of normally formed sperm needed for a successful pregnancy. Stay away from steroids as well, as they have been found to cause testicular shrinkage, which can result in infertility. As much as possible, avoid environmental toxins such as chemicals, radiation, heavy metal exposure, and pollution, which have all been linked to low sperm production.

Get your vitamins

Eat lots of foods high in antioxidants (carotenes, vitamins A, C, E and selenium) such as green leafy vegetables, kale, JHYYV[Z JP[Y\Z IYVJJVSP JH\SPĂ&#x2026;V^LY HUK yams. You may want to consider taking supplements, especially if your vitamin C or zinc levels are low. Vitamin C (2,000 to 6,000 milligrams daily) helps prevent sperm from clumping or sticking together, thus improving the chances for fertility. Zinc supplementation (100 to 200 mg daily) has been shown to increase testosterone levels, sperm count and sperm motility.

High zinc sources include oysters, organ meats, lean beef, turkey, lamb, herring, wheat germ, legumes and nuts. Other nutrients that have been shown to improve sperm counts include essential fatty acids (9 to 12 grams daily), chromium (1,000 mcg daily), selenium (200 mcg daily), copper (2 mg daily), vitamin E (800 IU KHPS` JVLUa`TL 8 TN KHPS` HUK B-complex vitamins (50 mg daily).

Dar Life I FEBRUARY 2021

A green jewel and home to the fourth highest mountain in Africa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mount Meru (4,566 m). Anyone visiting this park will be thrilled by the breathtaking landscapes ranging from the Meru Crater in the west, the Ngurdoto Crater in the south-east to the grasslands and of course the alkaline Momella lakes in the north-east.â&#x20AC;?

Home to the world’s largest population of giraffes, making it a great place to visit for fans of these long-necked, beautiful animals.

A

rusha National Park is the closest national park to Arusha town, located 5 km from town and 35 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport.

The park is one of the smallest but most diverse national parks in Tanzania. It has a wide range of vegetation – the slopes of Ngurdoto Crater are covered with rainforest, swamps and lush savannah at moorland on the slopes of Meru Mountain.

NATURE & WILDLIFE SAFARI EXPERIENCE

The atmosphere in Arusha National Park is magical. The entrance gate leads into shadowy montane 68

forest inhabited by inquisitive blue monkeys and colourful turacos and trogons – the only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey is easily seen.

In the middle of the forest stands the spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, whose steep, rocky cliffs dotted with herds of buffalo and warthog.

Further north, rolling grassy hills enclose the tranquil beauty of the Momela Lakes, each one a different hue of green or blue.

Their shallows sometimes tinged pink with thousands of scrubby bushes like overgrown hares on spindly legs.

More than 400 species of bird,

both migrant and resident, can be found in Arusha National Park. The rewarding climb up Mount Meru passes through forests of dripping Spanish moss, carpeted with clover and rises to open heath, spiked with giant lobelia plants. Delicate klipspringer antelope watch the progress of hikers from the top of huge boulders, and alpine desert underfoot. Once astride the craggy summit, the reward is a sight of Mount Kilimanjaro, breath-taking in the sunrise. Although elephants are uncommon in Arusha National Park and lions absent altogether, leopards and spotted hyenas may be seen slinking around in the early morning and lurking next to waterfalls in the shadowy forest

in the late evenings. It is also at dusk and dawn that the veil of cloud on the eastern horizon is most likely to clear, revealing the majestic snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro, only 50 km (30 mi) away. But it is Kilimanjaro’s unassuming cousin, Mount Meru, the 4,566 metres (14,990 feet) that dominates the park’s horizon.

Its peaks and eastern foot slopes protected within the national park, Meru offers unparalleled views of its famous neighbour, while also forming a rewarding hiking destination in its own right.

Birding in Arusha National Park Almost 400 species of birds have been recorded in the park. Some

of them are migratory and only present between October and April, others are permanent residents.

Especially the Momela lakes are a great place for bird watching, which host a large concentration of waterbirds, including flamingos.

There is also a variety of raptors, which hide in the forested areas of Mount Meru.

Activities in Arusha National Park You won’t be disappointed to have a few days’ safari in Arusha National Park. This park is ideal for a day tour/game drive, which can be combined with walking excursions or acclimatization before climbing Kilimanjaro. It takes about two days to reach

Mariakamba Hut and about four days to reach the top of Mount Meru. Moreover, visitors can participate in cultural interaction with Maasai tribesmen of Mkuru Village.

GETTING THERE

An easy 40-minute drive from Arusha. Approximately 60 km (35 mi) from Kilimanjaro International Airport. The lakes, forest and Ngurdoto Crater can all be visited in the course of a half-day outing at the beginning or end of an extended northern safari.

Swahili Coast

The Treasure of Africa

Swahili means ‘coastal’ in Arabic, and the Swahili coast refers to Tanzania’s coastline and islands, a beautiful and historic region rich in history, natural beauty, art and culture. Ancient Greek manuscripts show that the east coast of Africa was visited by sailing vessels in classical times. They referred to the coast as Azania, hence the name Tanzania (Tan – Tanganyika; Zan –Zanzibar; and Azania).”

I

n the ninth or tenth centuries came Shirazi Persians from modern-day Iran, sailing their ancient dhows across the Indian Ocean. Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Indonesian merchants and pirates, traders and adventurers, all arrived over the centuries during which the Swahili coast was the centre of a thriving commercial civilisation, with its own

language, economy and artistic traditions.

Today, reminders of the -Ü> >Ã̽à >} wVi Ì post can be found up and down the length of Tanzania.

The brassbound chests and heavy wooden doors of the Swahili Empire are found on a far island, imported originally by the Arabic slave traders who led caravans into the interior in search of

fortune. On the coast itself, crumbling mosques nestle among palm trees by white beaches and Persian baths lie ruined in the remains of ancient villas.

Bagamoyo was once the centre of slave and ivory trading. It was the last point reached by the caravans of slaves who arrived here for transportation to faraway

places. Today this attractive coastal town still bears while waiting for transportation still stands, as does the tree under which they were bought and sold.

KILWA

Kilwa Kisiwani Island was once the trading centre of the Swahili Empire. The ruins of the settlement still remain and are considered to be one of the most important Swahili historical sites in East African. The

famous traveller and chronicler lbn Battuta visited Kilwa in the 14th century, describing his admiration for the architecture and graceful situation of the capital city. Later the island became a trading post for slaves travelling north from Mauritius and Mozambique.

The end of the town supremacy as a trading port came when it was ransacked, ostensibly by “cannibals’’ in 1588.

There are many historical sites and ruins to explore on Pemba including a number of old mosques and tombs and the old town fort of Chake Chake. The Pujini ruins south-east of Chake Chake are the remnants of > v ÀÌ wi` Ì Ü LÕ Ì >À Õ ` the 13th century. There is also Ngezi Forest, a beautiful untouched rainforest and home to the Pemba Flying Fox, a giant bat!

from ancient Yemen who dominated the coast around archipelago, off beaten track and known to only the most discerning travellers. The island is surrounded by a barrier reef so rich in marine life it has been designated a marine park by the World Wide Fund for Nature. A tiny population of pygmy hippo lives in the remains of an old lagoon, cut off from the mainland centuries.

Pemba Island, rumored to have once been inhabited by a race of mythical giants, is an untouched beauty that offers an undiluted experience of island life in the Indian Ocean. The tiny number of visitors to Pemba every year means that the island has little in the way of tourist infrastructure – which for alternative travellers is the main attraction. Small guesthouses are dotted around the island, and there are a couple of upmarket

Ruins close to the active port of Tanga attest to its importance as a trading post in the Swahili trading empire. The ruins, once a large mosque, include more than 40 tombs, Tanga has pleasant beaches and is a convenient point from which to visit the spectacular Usambara Mountains. Just south of Tanga is Pangani, once the home of Arab slave traders, set on a lovely estuary of the Panani River.

For a small island in the southern waters of the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar has a long and unexpected history.

For centuries the island has been a centre of slave and ivory trade, if not all trading, from central Africa to the rest of the world and was the world’s main producer of the highly valued clove spice. It is also the centre of Swahili language and culture.

Zanzibar is the undisputed capital of the Swahili coast.

The Portuguese were ousted with the help of Oman, in the mid- 16th Century, whose vast trade connections had been severed by the entrance of the Portuguese.

Zanzibar became the seat of the Omani empire, when Sultan Seyyid Said moved his capital from Muscat to Zanzibar in 1840, due

largely to its economic importance in the empire and unrest at home. This was to last only 50 years until the British, keen on expanding their colonial reach, declared Zanzibar a British Protectorate. This, in turn, was to last until 1963, when the British handed power back to the Sultan in a constitutional monarchy which was itself overthrown in early 1964 in a violent revolution which established the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, which rules the country to this day. |
