Discover MoroccoMorocco, officially theKingdom of Morocco,is the most westerlyof the North African countries. Ithas Atlantic and Mediterraneancoastlines, and a rugged mountaininterior. Morocco’s climate,geography, and history are all moreclosely related to the Mediterraneanthan to the rest of Africa, and forthis reason visitors are often struckby the odd sensation of having notquite reached Africa in Morocco.In the north, its fine beaches, lushhighland valleys, and evocativeold cities reinforce this impression.Yet, as one moves south and east,into and over the starkly beautifulranges of the Atlases, Morocco’sMediterranean character melts away.Morocco’s varied geographyincludes no less than four separatemountain ranges, in addition to lushriver valleys, beautiful sandy coasts,and wide expanses of desert. Thethree most prominent mountainranges, which run parallel to eachother from the southwest to thenortheast, are the Middle Atlas, theHigh Atlas, and the Anti-Atlas.The ascent of the country’s highestpeak, Jebel Toukbal (13,665 ft./4,165 m.), is a spectacular andnot particularly difficult trek. TheMoroccan coastline opens ontoboth the Mediterranean and theAtlantic oceans, offering plenty ofgreat beaches as well as a numberof fascinating ancient coastalcities. In the southeast, Morocco’smountain ranges yield to the wildexpanse of the Sahara. The riversthat flow down this side of theHigh Atlas support long, narrow,and lush river valleys that resemblelinear oases.Morocco has a population of over32 million people with its main ethnicgroup as the Branès (Masmuda andSanhaja). Morocco’s political capitalTin Mal Mosque, in a small mountain village in theHigh Atlas 100 km from Marrakeshis Rabat, although the largest cityis Casablanca; other major citiesinclude Marrakesh, Tangier,Salé, Fes, Agadir, and Meknes.Morocco has a history ofindependence not shared by itsneighbours. Its rich culture is ablend of Arab, Berber (indigenousAfrican) and also other African andEuropean influences. The mainreligion is Islam. The official languageis Literary Arabic. Moroccan Arabic,Berber and French are also spoken.Hassaniya Arabic, sometimesconsidered a variety of MoroccanArabic, is spoken in parts of thesouthern provinces.Morocco is becoming moreand more the preferred touristdestination for revelers who seekpeace, quietude and a unique blendof Africa and Europe.

Those endeavors, andpossibly relationships, that are in private orbehind the scenes tend to figure stronglyand thrive, particularly from the 4-6. The8-9 is excellent for research of a financialor business strategy - it may be somethingthat you’ve come up with in the past, butnow deserves special attention. Peoplefrom your past could be involved now. AsMarch progresses, it can be as if you areemerging from a waking sleep with planets,one by one, emerging from your privacysector and moving into your sign. From the12th forward, your energy levels run high(sometimes too high) and your pioneeringinstincts are strong. By the 21st, the Sunand Venus are in your sign, and others aretaking note. This is a fabulous period forcharm and attractiveness. The 27-30 isa power period for you, but it can also bean emotional and impulsive time. Try not tooverdo it! You can be rebellious and seekingfreedom possibly at all costs.March can bring opportunities to clincha deal and cement a bond, or therecan be a positive legal outcome, dearTaurus. However, there can be somefinancial matters involved that requireextra thought. The New Moon on the11th brings new energy to friendships andlong-term goals. From the 17th forward,you will benefit from working on clearingup any problems that have cropped upwith friends. This is a time for feelingpersonally hopeful, emotionally satisfied,and socially popular. Friendships might berenewed or revitalized. In the last few daysof March, health or work problems canmake themselves known, quite suddenly.For some of you, a neglected matter fromthe past can re-emerge, or there can be astrong temptation to impulsively act on asecret desire. Get extra rest and treat anyslow-downs as a sign that you may needmore time to recoup, or to reconsider.You are beginning a period best used foremotional renewal, tying up loose ends,and laying low.The month ahead is strong for networking,friendships, and new approaches in yourcareer, dear Gemini. The first ten daysof March can find you streamlining yourroutines, heavily involved in research, andhighly motivated in work and health matters.The New Moon on the 11th brings freshenergy for career and reputation matters,although it’s better to wait until after the17th to launch new projects.

You mighteven find that if you hold back opinions orconcerns until you’ve truly processed them,you no longer find it wise to express themat all. While others may wonder why you’reso quiet, this is in fact an important learningexperience for you, as you discover thatwhat you say can impact the direction ofyour life in profound ways. The first ten daysof March are strong for these discoveries,as well as for research and review.

It’s a powerfulperiod for your relationships (this continuesinto the first week of April), and whilespontaneity is the name of the game at thistime, try to avoid rash or careless decisions.Scorpio 24/10-22/11Romance and pleasure-seeking are instrong focus this month, dear Scorpio.Desires come on quickly and withgreat force in March and April.

Peoplefrom the past could be in strong focus thismonth. You can experience some feelingsof regret or hesitance from the 23rd, whenresponsibilities make themselves known.Enjoy yourself, but keep expectationsrealistic. From the 27th and into April,surprising events and feelings can arise,particularly in the areas of work, dailyroutines, and health. Hidden issues andinformation can surface.

Keep in mind that desires cancome on quite suddenly, but may not belong-lasting, so that if you have a suddenand seemingly urgent desire to redecorateor part ways with someone close to you,you may want to wait a few days to see if thedesire sticks with you.Aquarius 21/01-19/02March is strong for gathering informationand for inspired money-making ideas, dearAquarius. While you may want to wait beforelaunching your more important business orfinancial plans until the end of the month,pay special attention to the ideas comingto you throughout March, and do yourresearch.

ABL GuideKnow your limitIf you do not already know howmuch alcohol you can handle withoutlosing control, try it out one time athome with a friend present and havethem videotape you, then see whathappens when you consume more thanthe recommended one drink per hour.Eat while you drinkIt is particularly good to eat high proteinfoods such as cheese and peanuts, which helpto slow the absorption of alcohol into thecirculatory system.Cultivate tasteEnjoy your drink, don’t rush it. If you gulp adrink you will be losing the pleasure of tastingand smelling the various flavours in the drink.Accept a drink only when youreally want oneAt a party if someone is trying to forceanother drink on you, ask for ice or drink anon-alcoholic beverage.Skip a drink now and thenSpace your alcoholic drinks out to keep thedesired blood alcohol concentration.Appoint a designated driverHave someone available who will not be drinking and will drive all drinkers home. This iscritical if the person has consumed more than one drink per hour. If you know that youwill have to drive after consuming alcohol, limit your consumption to no more than onedrink an hour.ENJOY N o 77 March 2013 | 53

ABL Guide“AromaIn order to enjoy beer, on needsto know how to totally enjoyand savour every drop ofthe drink meant for kings….”I like to leave a little room at the top of a bowlshapedbeer glass in order to swish the beeraround and create more aroma. Whichever wayyou aerate the beer, you’ll want to have some roomto stick your nose down in there and give it a goodsmell. Look for beer smells like malt, yeast, alcoholand hops. Identify unique and signature smell.AppearanceHold your glass up to the light and check forclarity, cloudiness or colour and match those upwith the style of beer you are drinking . Club beershould be golden and clear.TasteAfter completing the steps listed above,taste the beer by taking a small mouthful andbreathing in slightly as you taste the beer. Thiswill open up all your senses and let you get acomplete picture of what you are tasting. In theproper glass, the beer should hit your tongue denotingbitter and sweet flavours on the parts ofyour mouth that can discern those tastes. Take asecond taste and swish the beer around in yourmouth slightly to move the beer across all yourflavour sensing areas.Mouth FeelBy tasting beer, you should be able todetermine the mouth feel. Some beers havea heavy, almost oily mouth feel to them, whileother beers are light and dry and offer verylittle by way of mouth feel. Becoming familiarwith beer styles will help you determine whattype of mouth feel is common with each style.FinishSome beers finish with a sweet, pleasant aftertaste, while other beers finish bitter and even dry.When you taste your beer and swallow it,ask yourself what it leaves behind? What’s thelast thing you taste? With a sweeter finish,you’ll end up with a sharper leftover tasteimpression in the front of your mouth,while with a bitter beer, you’ll taste it morein the back of the mouth. With a dry finish, itwill leave very little in the way of taste residue,especially overly sweet tastes. Dry usuallydenotes the absence of sweet.ENJOY N o 77 March 2013 | 55
