Human relationships can<br />
be political in the sense that<br />
politics, involves powerstructured<br />
relationships or<br />
arrangements whereby one<br />
coherent group of persons,<br />
of which the common<br />
denominator might be sex,<br />
class, race, caste and so on,<br />
exercises power over another<br />
group through personal<br />
contact and interaction.<br />
I introduce the concept of “politics”<br />
primarily when speaking of the sexes<br />
because sex, is a status category with<br />
political implications. Arguably, one<br />
could classify interrelationship between<br />
the sexes (male and female) as “politics”<br />
because it involves not only exercise of<br />
power, but also presume a superior norm<br />
against which inferior groups are tested<br />
and found lacking.<br />
A closer look at patriarchy throws more<br />
light on the possible relationship between<br />
dependency and maleness. Patriarchy,<br />
which is the male head of a family or<br />
tribe, can be extended to mean any kind<br />
of group organization in which males<br />
hold dominant power and determine the<br />
power limitations of the females through<br />
the assignment and definition of such<br />
power. Interestingly, in both patriarchy<br />
and the interrelationship between the<br />
sexes, certain basic things are clear:<br />
they are institutionalized; involve the<br />
exercise of power or dominance; and are<br />
asymmetric.<br />
To maintain this power or dominance,<br />
dominant groups presume a superior<br />
norm against which inferior groups are<br />
tested and found lacking. The subsequent<br />
findings, then serve as an excuse for<br />
treating the latter as inferiors and keeping<br />
them perpetually dependent. At the same<br />
time, the presumed norm also serves to<br />
explain the realities of the world or the<br />
order of things: why things are the way<br />
they are; what is ‘normal,’ ‘abnormal,’<br />
‘right,’ ‘wrong,’ ‘natural’ or ‘unnatural.’<br />
How true is this in our lives? Often<br />
in our everyday relationship, men’s<br />
presumed superior norms and their<br />
own formative background provide the<br />
judgemental standards against which<br />
women are measured and found lacking.<br />
The pernicious effect of the patriarchal<br />
power is that it exacerbates the division<br />
of human society. One group (male)<br />
is indirectly appointed to rule over the<br />
other (female) by mere virtue of sex.<br />
Publisher’s<br />
note<br />
Patriarchy, then, being based on<br />
discrimination, encourages oppression in<br />
human relations and corrupts many other<br />
areas of thought and social experience.<br />
The patriarchal male through “interior<br />
colonization,” can assume an attitude of<br />
subjectivity and view himself as a symbol<br />
of power. On the other hand, the female,<br />
having inherited an inferior position<br />
through the psychology of gender, tries to<br />
please the male, through subordination<br />
and dependence. By making sure that<br />
the female depends on him, the male can<br />
successfully ‘colonize,’ enslave and despise<br />
her, even reduce her to a “Zombie.” He<br />
may do so without remorse or fear of<br />
losing her love.<br />
In complex and institutionalized social<br />
relations such as ours, social dominance<br />
of groups, is not merely enacted<br />
individually by its group members, but<br />
will be legitimized by laws, sanctioned by<br />
the courts and enforced by the police or<br />
magistrates. It illustrates why dominant<br />
ideologies such as sexism, patriarchy or<br />
colonialism do not easily collapse.<br />
It is through the control of these<br />
“Ideological State Apparatuses”-<br />
institutions such as the family, the<br />
court, religion, education, the media<br />
- that dominant groups or ruling<br />
classes manage to legitimize their<br />
own presumably superior norms and<br />
indeed their power and dominance.<br />
The subordinate groups, on the other<br />
hand, are doomed to remain perpetually<br />
‘colonized,’ or, “interpellated,” to accept<br />
the social positions which are necessary<br />
for their participation in the social<br />
formation. If a group is held to be<br />
inferior, it can expect to be treated so; and<br />
it will act according to that treatment.<br />
Thus, the vicious circle is perpetuated<br />
and the status quo maintained.<br />
Unless we change our attitude or the<br />
dominant suppressive system, which has<br />
perpetually kept women supressed all<br />
these years, we can make little progress<br />
– socially, economically, politically or<br />
otherwise in our societies. A progressive<br />
society can best be measured based on<br />
the position of the “minorities” in such<br />
a society.<br />
It is the dream of Kata Kata to make<br />
the Kata Kata village an epitome of<br />
tolerance and gender equality, knowing it<br />
is the best way to live harmoniously and<br />
progressively with one another. If you are<br />
part of this noble dream, join our Kata<br />
Kata wagon before it is too late.<br />

Health<br />
very person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do<br />
not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a<br />
few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no<br />
more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests<br />
are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the<br />
detectable size.<br />
Therefore, breast self-exams can be an important way to find breast<br />
cancer at an early stage. According to Johns Hopkins Medical Centre<br />
“forty percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who<br />
feel a lump; so establishing a regular breast self-exam is very important.”<br />
It is therefore, very important to learn how to perform a breast self-exam<br />
to check for lumps or any other changes that may signal breast cancer, by<br />
taking the following precautions:<br />
Stand in front of the mirror<br />
SELF- EXAM<br />
Breast cancer is<br />
the development of<br />
cancerous tumors<br />
that develop from<br />
breast cells. The<br />
signs may include a<br />
lump in the breast,<br />
change in breast<br />
shape, fluid coming<br />
out of nipples and<br />
skin dimpling.<br />
Look and observe your breasts keenly with your shoulders<br />
straight and the arms held on to the hips<br />
Check for breasts usual size, shape and skin color and if you<br />
notice anything different or a symptom, please bring it to<br />
medical personnel’s attention.<br />
After, raise your arms head level high and look out for similar<br />
changes like in step one, try to move your hands around the<br />
breast and feel if there are changes in how it feels.<br />
Lie down and roll on either side to examine the opposite side<br />
breast.<br />
During the touch check, make sure your breast lies as flat as<br />
possible<br />
Using your finger soft pads move in small circles from the end<br />
towards the nipple and changing the amount of pressure exerted<br />
every round of circle taken for three times.<br />
However, in doing breast self-exam, you should take the following tips<br />
into consideration;<br />
Do the self-exam at the end of your monthly period<br />
If you are pregnant, on menopause, or if you have irregular<br />
period, choose a specific day each month to do the self-exam.<br />
This exam shouldn’t be performed in the shower or with lotion<br />
on your skin/fingers<br />
If you find a lump or notice other unusual changes, remember not to<br />
panic because about 80% of the lumps found aren’t cancerous. Therefore,<br />
you need not to worry but see a doctor or seek medical advice promptly<br />
for further evaluation.<br />
Definitely, a little bit of carefulness could save lives and debunk the<br />
myths behind murderous cancer. It is worth the effort!<br />

indecisive indecision to make<br />
bachelorhood their trade mark.<br />
Anyway, Chief, there is a serious<br />
problem<br />
Problem?<br />
Yes, this letter is from the<br />
United Nations. As part of the<br />
celebration of the Women’s<br />
Day, the United Nation has<br />
called on Kata Kata Village to<br />
lead the world in showing<br />
solidarity for the plight of<br />
women.<br />
I don understand. Dey wan us<br />

Wow, Who told you<br />

fact that they say nothing<br />

not treated like a slave<br />
Which slave?<br />
You see any chain on their neck?<br />
We live here in peace and happiness,<br />

Worldwide, women are the biggest<br />
contributors socially, economically,<br />
culturally and politically, yet they are<br />
segregated and made an appendix to men<br />
Which appendix? De one<br />

<strong>12</strong> Kata kata cartoon magazine

of us are suffering from grammatical<br />
cerebral deficiency en…..<br />
Okitumba! Thunder!! Heeee!<br />
To read book good!<br />
See how grammar sound like<br />
thunder inside de mouth<br />
So like I was saying, the UN asks Kata Kata village to not only<br />
celebrate Women’s day, every 8th March, we must also say no<br />
to gender apartheid and embrace gender equality<br />
So, me en my wives will put leg in one<br />
trouser? Or they stay on top in the<br />
bedroom? So now, who is head of<br />

If UN discovers you hinder progress<br />
here, they will dethrone and castrate<br />
you in the village square en banish<br />
you to Taliban or Al Shabaab village.<br />
Hee!<br />
Don go there!<br />
Interestingly, if women are treated equally, the<br />
female labour force participation rate will<br />
increase as well. This will have a positive impact<br />
on the economy.<br />
castrate him<br />
Me, I support anything<br />
that is good for Kata<br />
Kata village<br />
Now you are talking!<br />
This is time to move from<br />
talk into concrete action.<br />
!<br />
Gender equality is not only a<br />
responsibility of men; women<br />
have roles to play. How do we<br />
achieve our goals?<br />
I suggest we put everything in<br />
writing and send to UN. Or I<br />

We put it inside paper, me I sign,<br />

We must promote gender-balanced leadership – both at home and in<br />

We will make 8TH MARCH a free day to celebrate the WOMEN’S DAY<br />
On the Women’s Day, we must encourage our children to bring gifts to<br />
their mothers to show them how important mothers are to the<br />
children<br />
We must treat ALL women in Kata Kata village with dignity and<br />
respect<br />
Women must be allowed to take certain responsibilities in the house –<br />
not only to have kids<br />
Women must be allowed to be part of the decision making in the<br />
family<br />
Women must be exposed to leadership positions<br />
Both individual and Kata Kata village as a whole<br />
must learn about their own gender biases, adjust<br />
their behaviour towards women so as to eliminate<br />
discrimination against women in Kata Kata Village<br />
No more dowry for women because women are<br />
NOT a property<br />
At work, we must pay women the same salary as<br />
men for the same or similar work<br />
Kata Kata culture must be advanced in such a way<br />
that ALL individuals feel valued and included,<br />
hence encourage them to contribute fully based on<br />
their capabilities.<br />

By Mirembe Rosemary<br />
atified on August<br />
18, 1920, the 19th<br />
Amendment to<br />
the United States<br />
Constitution<br />
granted American women the<br />
right to vote—a right known<br />
as woman suffrage. At the time<br />
the U.S. was founded, its female<br />
citizens did not share all of the<br />
same rights as men, including<br />
the right to vote. After the right<br />
to vote was guaranteed by the<br />
19th amendment, the equal rights<br />
amendment (ERA) was proposed<br />
as the next step in confirming<br />
“equal justice under law for all<br />
citizens.” The ERA was introduced<br />
in to every congress between<br />
1923-72 when it was passed and<br />
sent to the states for ratification.<br />
States have a responsibility<br />
to uphold standards of due<br />
diligence and take steps to fulfill<br />
their responsibility to protect<br />
individuals (women) from human<br />
rights abuses. Despite great<br />
strides made by the international<br />
women’s rights movement over<br />
many years, women and girls<br />
around the world are still married<br />
off as children or trafficked into<br />
forced labor and sex slavery. They<br />
are refused access to education and<br />
political participation; and some<br />
are trapped in conflicts where rape<br />
is perpetrated as a weapon of war.<br />
Around the world, deaths related<br />
to pregnancies and childbirths are<br />
needlessly high, and women are<br />
prevented from making deeply<br />
personal choices in their private<br />
lives. Human Rights Watch is<br />
working toward the realization<br />
of women’s empowerment and<br />
gender equality—protecting the<br />
rights and improving the lives of<br />
women and girls on the ground.<br />
Women are entitled to equal enjoyment<br />
and protection of all human rights and<br />
fundamental freedoms that include amongst<br />
others:<br />
• The right to life<br />
• The right to equality<br />
• The right to liberty and security of<br />
person<br />
• The right to equal protection under<br />

“Violence<br />
against women<br />
means any act<br />
of violence that<br />
results in or is<br />
likely to result in<br />
physical, sexual<br />
or psychological<br />
harm or suffering<br />
to women.<br />
Under the UN Declaration on the<br />
Elimination of Violence against<br />
Women, 1993, violence against women<br />
is a social (economy, health, welfare,<br />
politics) problem – definitely not a<br />
private problem of each individual<br />
woman or a family. Violence against<br />
women means any act of violence<br />
that results in or is likely to result in<br />
physical, sexual or psychological harm<br />
or suffering to women. It also includes<br />
threats with such acts, coercion<br />
or arbitrary deprivation of liberty,<br />
whether occurring in public or in<br />
private life.<br />
Therefore, with this factual detail of<br />
women’s rights, it is an obligation for<br />
every state and individual citizen to<br />
observe the rights and refrain from<br />
violating them. However, it still is a<br />
working progress for most countries<br />
to wholesomely observe these<br />
entitlements. Taking an action – no<br />
matter how little – is better than being<br />
inaction. Please let everyone come on<br />
board.<br />

Fashion<br />
To accessorize<br />
is to provide<br />
or compliment<br />
(a garment)<br />
with a fashion<br />
accompaniment.<br />
POWER<br />
OF<br />
ACCESSORIZING<br />
By Mirembe Rosemary<br />
As simple as it might<br />
sound, accessorizing your<br />
outfit isn’t just a case<br />
of throwing on a pair of<br />
earrings and calling it a<br />
day. The right jewelry will<br />
accentuate your clothing,<br />
draw attention to your<br />
style and flatter your face.<br />
To accessorize is to provide or<br />
compliment (a garment) with<br />
a fashion accompaniment.<br />
Accessorizing is not as easy as it<br />
might look. “Does this bag match<br />
these shoes?” “Do the earrings<br />
work with this necklace?” And so<br />
on and so forth.<br />
It is a struggle to bear, especially by<br />
women in endeavors to look good.<br />
However, in this article I intend to<br />
make accessorizing as easy for you<br />
as probably could:<br />
As simple as it might sound,<br />
accessorizing your outfit isn’t just<br />
a case of throwing on a pair of<br />
earrings and calling it a day. The<br />
right jewelry will accentuate your<br />
clothing, draw attention to your<br />
style and flatter your face. You just<br />
need to pick the perfect piece.<br />
A simple t-shirt can be<br />
transformed with a statement<br />
necklace, while a classic black<br />
dress becomes even more chic<br />
with a delicate gold bracelet. I’m<br />
not sure the advice to ‘take one<br />
piece off ’ before leaving the house<br />
works… I say the more accessories,<br />
the better.<br />
First to consider is color.<br />
Accessories should complement<br />
your clothing, not overpower<br />
it, and the matchy-matchy days<br />
are long gone. If you’re mixing<br />
patterns or wearing something<br />
with intricate detailing, your<br />
accessories should be more<br />
neutral. Today, no one wants<br />
to step out with the 80s look at<br />
all, where your royal blue dress<br />
perfectly matched with royal blue<br />
bags and shoes. Try to simply look<br />
for the little accent color within<br />
your dress which isn’t dominant,<br />
then choose or accessorize in this<br />
little accent color; and these will<br />
highlight a speck of color from the<br />
outfit, bringing the contrasting and<br />
pleasant way.<br />
The function, mood and<br />
look you are hoping to<br />
make/ put off.<br />
Different occasions call for<br />
different jewels. While a bit of<br />
bling can work during the day,<br />
it’s best to save your shiniest stuff<br />
for the evening. Remember you<br />
can wear the same dress to church<br />
and again to a dinner date but to<br />
accessorize it differently to fit the<br />
alternate occasion, it is always<br />
important to wear one accessory<br />
that makes a bold statement put<br />
together with 2-3 other subtle<br />
accessories.<br />
Practicality:<br />
This is trying as much to stay<br />
within your fashion self. Do your<br />
accessories suit your lifestyle? Do<br />
they appeal to you and do you feel<br />
comfortable with the outfit and<br />
how you have matched it up? It is a<br />
fashion blunder to wear beautiful,<br />
expensive stilettos that you can<br />
barely work with, but rather a<br />
wedge you can comfortably move<br />
with. You can also use accessories<br />
to emphasis your best bits –<br />
slender wrists suit chunky bangles,<br />
long fingers look great in big rings,<br />
and a draped necklace will really<br />
flatter a killer cleavage.<br />
Just like any fashion and<br />
magnificence advice, a common<br />
option of finding out what will<br />
work would be to try it out. See<br />
what it looks like and how it<br />
exactly feels on you, keep trying<br />
the different several accessory<br />
combinations having an outfit and<br />
select that one you believe looks<br />
best for you.<br />

Beauty<br />
By Mirembe Rosemary<br />
air growth can be frustrating for many women whose hair<br />
doesn’t come pretty easy. Many women would do all they<br />
can to make their hair grow firm and long; but how can one<br />
achieve this? Are the products you use the magic to achieve this? Is it<br />
the way you apply the products that makes the growth stout? For sure,<br />
you may have been given many pieces of advice over your hair, but<br />
here are few home remedies that will enable you to grow longer hair<br />
with less hustle.<br />
Water helps your hair a lot. Moisturize your hair and drink<br />
the recommended 8 glasses of water daily to help keep your hair<br />
moisturized. Also apply the perfect moisturizer for either natural or<br />
treated hair, like coconut oil, olive oil and pure Shea butter. Use this<br />
more often.<br />
Deep condition your hair. This treatment moisturizes and restores<br />
balance to your hair and you should do this every three weeks, for 30<br />
minute interval. Dry the hair after.<br />

Many women<br />
would do all<br />
they can to<br />
make their hair<br />
grow firm and<br />
long; but how<br />
can one achieve<br />
this?<br />
Trim off and dust your hair ends monthly. It is important in order<br />
to achieve a certain balance. I know most ladies don’t like or believe<br />
in this, but it is the vital results that matter. Interestingly, the results<br />
have been corroborated scientifically.<br />
Untangle your hair. This helps to reduce hair breakage as well as<br />
enabling you to comb through with ease. You should use a wide tooth<br />
comb, preferably in the shower.<br />
Go for the protective hairstyles. There are many styles which are<br />
not only considered as protective, they are pretty fast and cheap to<br />
make and maintain. Some of the hairstyles include big braids, buns,<br />
human hair weaves and wigs.<br />
Avoid blow drying and hot combing hair. The excessive heat can<br />
be very damaging to your hair. It’s better and safer to use less heat of a<br />
dryer or air dry. It saves hair and it is equally less stressful.<br />
Avoid highly chemical hair products. You work against your hair<br />
when you use products with very high chemicals. Opt, instead,<br />
for simple and natural products like oils and Shea butter that help<br />
nourish and balance your hair, helping it to grow healthy.<br />
Definitely, observing these few easy remedy is a right step towards<br />
taking better care of your hair. You surely will be surprised to see the<br />
results very soon. Yes, the result is the amazing growth and quality of<br />
your hair.<br />

Interiors<br />
By Mirembe Rosemary<br />
LET THE<br />
KITCHEN<br />
DO THE TALKING!<br />
A little touch in the kitchen<br />
could radically transform<br />
it to not only a more<br />
environmentally friendly<br />
part of your house; it<br />
will make the kitchen an<br />
appealing place for the<br />
cook or whoever steps<br />
into it.<br />
Kitchens serve as not only a<br />
place to prepare meals, but<br />
also a main gathering space in<br />
the home other than the living<br />
room. This is irrespective of size<br />
that even tiny kitchens can have<br />
captivating style with fabulous<br />
decorating ideas you need to<br />
spice up your smaller spaces.<br />
If you’re looking to improve<br />
your kitchen, seek inspiration;<br />
often best kitchen ideas come<br />
from beautiful pictures of other<br />
people’s homes. Irrespective of<br />
your budget, consider ideas and<br />
advice to make your kitchen<br />
practical and multi-functional,<br />
without compromising on style.<br />
Your kitchen should reflect<br />
your interior design style and<br />
the choices are endless - from<br />
classic, country, chic and sleek<br />
contemporary, retro, rustic,<br />
Shaker-style and everything in<br />
between.<br />
Improved storage, lighting and<br />
palette will play a vital role in<br />
making a small kitchen feel<br />
larger. If you have more space<br />
to play with, consider additional<br />
features such as butcher’s<br />
blocks, pharmacy cabinet,<br />
glazed wall units, larder units<br />
or kitchen dressers. Think carefully<br />
about the design choices<br />
you make in your kitchen, from<br />
worktop materials to cabinet<br />
handles, all the details add up<br />
to your dream kitchen look.<br />
Go for a dark color while painting<br />
your kitchen cabinets; it is<br />
an ideal way to create a cozy feel<br />
in a space that is often lacking in<br />
comfort. It’s a great option for a<br />
quick and cost-effective kitchen<br />
update. A dramatic color will<br />
make a bold statement, so make<br />
sure you pick your shade wisely.<br />
Definitely, it’s not that white<br />
ever went out of fashion; it’s just<br />
that it’s particularly in fashion<br />
right now. Sleek white countertops<br />
look good enough to eat off<br />
and sit above glossy cupboards<br />
and back tiles.<br />
Remember keeping your kitchen<br />
clean and free from bacteria<br />
involves making sure that you<br />
don’t transfer the germs from<br />
one surface or item to another.<br />
This can sometimes happen<br />
no matter how vigilant you are.<br />
For example, when you have to<br />
turn the water on using a handle<br />
while holding a food item or<br />
having just handled something<br />
like a raw chicken; so endeavor<br />
to buy a selection of cleaning<br />
products and utilize them.<br />
Enjoy great kitchen ambience<br />
and cost effective makeover as<br />
you make more great family and<br />
friend memories within the perimeters<br />
of this space. Now relax<br />
and enjoy your food, prepared<br />
in your new kitchen.<br />

Tech. Technology<br />
By Mirembe Rosemary<br />
TECHNOLOGICAL EFFECT<br />
ON HUMAN WAYS OF LIFE<br />
Over the years, technology has been responsible for creating wonderful resources, which easily<br />
put all the information we need right at our disposal. The advance in technology now has led to<br />
some great discoveries and has at the same time drastically changed how our daily lives operate<br />
forever. But technological development has equally some negative impacts in our lives.<br />

Technology is systematically killing<br />
creative writing talents in us. Writing a<br />
letter is no longer a creative challenge<br />
for the young generation. With our<br />
smart phones, sending out abbreviated<br />
messages has become a norm. How<br />
many of us dare post greeting cards to<br />
loved ones during Christmas, birthday<br />
and other occasions? E-card, SMS, text<br />
or email have taken over this creative<br />
social activity.<br />
Technology has taken away the traditional<br />
way or routine of sharing information.<br />
Very few people still walk<br />
into a newspaper stand to access information.<br />
The social media networks<br />
now allow us to access and share pretty<br />
much anything, anywhere, anytime.<br />
What of our television experience? In<br />
as much as many kids are addicted to<br />
the TV due to the technological advancement,<br />
recently, one is no more<br />
held to their black and white TV with<br />
blurred images set. We can now watch<br />
any show we want, when we need and<br />
how we exactly want to.<br />
Surprisingly, technology has impacted<br />
the way we date as well. Those days a<br />
boy would bribe a youngster with a<br />
sweet to go and call the sister are almost<br />
gone. With the online dating<br />
trend, you can meet, discuss and plan<br />
dating outings with your pals exclusively<br />
online. You now understand<br />
why many individuals rather use the<br />
internet to see if they can still hook<br />
from the pool of singles out there.<br />
Channels of communication have<br />
changed. Gone are the days of walking<br />
to the telephone booth to make a call<br />
or strolling to the neighbor for a chat.<br />
The mobile networks and phones have<br />
replaced all that, making communication<br />
more convenient and easier.<br />
Book publishers are equally affected<br />
by technological advancement. So is<br />
our way of reading books. You hardly<br />
need to carry books if you don’t want<br />
to; smartphones,tablets, e-readers<br />
have enabled us to carry our reading<br />
materials on with ease as well as access<br />
them conveniently.<br />
..many individuals<br />
rather use the internet<br />
to see if they can still<br />
hook from the pool of<br />
singles out there.<br />
Interestingly, parenting has become<br />
easier due to technology. With different<br />
parental platforms available on the<br />
internet, parents help one another with<br />
the grooming and upbringing of kids.<br />
They can easily share information and<br />
find solutions in times of need.<br />
No doubts, technology is definitely,<br />
changing our lives for the better, making<br />
things becoming easier and more<br />
convenient. At the same time, the latest<br />
technological trends have some social<br />
impediments in our social lives; we are<br />
basically a slave to the new technology.<br />

MOTHER, I OWE YOU<br />
CAPTAIN AMERICA:<br />
CIVIL WAR<br />
(<strong>2016</strong>)<br />
PG 13 2h 27min<br />
Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi<br />
Ooh how I love that you’re my mother<br />
Turn around, and I feel like a child over again<br />
Mother, my most precious blessing in life<br />
So gentle, composed, yet so strong<br />
So tough, yet with overwhelming care<br />
You always make me feel I belong<br />
How did you find the energy, mummy<br />
To do all the things you did<br />
To be patient with my foolishness<br />
To be a teacher, nurse, and counselor<br />
When I was nothing, but you saw every potential<br />
How did you really manage, mom<br />
To be a friend, cook, wife<br />
Yet find time to play and learn with me<br />
I truly cannot fathom<br />
Remarkably outshining both<br />
‘avengers‘ films in its deployment<br />
of superhero showdown and<br />
credible, amped-up character<br />
conflict, “captain America” is finally<br />
the cinematic superhero movie<br />
you’ve dreamt of since childhood,<br />
precisely because that’s<br />
everything – and all – it wants<br />
to be. Following their efforts on<br />
“Captain America: the Winter<br />
Soldier,” the Russo brothers’ film<br />
has an unshakeable faith in these<br />
decades-old characters: they’re<br />
not wrangled into standing for<br />
anything other than who they are,<br />
with no reinterpretation or reach<br />
for epic significance required.<br />
If you’ve been following the story<br />
so far but still doubt, you could<br />
get misty-eyed over Captain<br />
America (Chris Evans) and Iron<br />
Man (Robert Downey Jr) knocking<br />
in a stripped-down plot, pitting<br />
former allies against one another.<br />
With other heroes rallying around<br />
those two poles, the characters<br />
face the consequences of their<br />
super-powered actions and<br />
ultimately examine how their own<br />
personal histories influence their<br />
heroics.<br />
They somehow manage time to<br />
introduce both Black Panther<br />
(Chadwick Boseman) and a new<br />
version of Spider-Man (Tom<br />
Holland) without overstuffing the<br />
plot. The filmmakers maintain a<br />
striking and consistent focus on<br />
their own particular exploration<br />
of the “with great power comes<br />
great responsibility”. The compelling<br />
blockbuster entertainment<br />
built out of a moral and emotional<br />
conflict, and that’s more impressive<br />
than any overblown display<br />
of loud and vulgar power concept<br />
crafting one of the few satisfying<br />
end-game battles in Marvel’s<br />
cinematic.<br />
With so many characters in<br />
the mix, the plot sounds more<br />
complex than it really is. But<br />
simplicity is the film’s strong<br />
asset; with the major scenario<br />
sketched in the characters are<br />
free to bounce around within its<br />
relatively confined parameters.<br />
Captain America: civil war is one<br />
you should definitely watch, for it<br />
keeps you glued to the seat and<br />
eye-focused on the screen.<br />
I see now it is the power of love, mummy<br />
It makes you come whenever I call<br />
Your inexhaustible love, mom<br />
It made me happy, confident, and mature<br />
And I am forever grateful<br />

Sweet but harmful<br />
Candy, which comes in many<br />
different types, sizes and colors, can<br />
be irresistible – especially amongst<br />
kids. For most children, candy<br />
is a paradise. But it also has its<br />
disadvantages.<br />
There are many different types of<br />
candy, but one of the most popular<br />
ones is lick candy. Just like the name<br />
sounds, it is the candy you can lick.<br />
Some popular kinds of lick candy<br />
are: lollipops, peppermint and candy<br />
canes. There are also chewable<br />
candy sweets like chewing gum and<br />
gummy bears.<br />
Candy is not exactly good for the<br />
teeth. It can, for example, cause<br />
caries. Dental caries is tooth decay,<br />
which sometimes causes holes in the<br />
teeth. Of course, what is dangerous<br />
about candy is that it sometimes<br />
takes a long time before one notices<br />
the damages on the teeth. Although<br />
candy is not very expensive to buy,<br />
fixing those damages can be very<br />
expensive.<br />
However, problems associated with<br />
candy can be prevented. Going to<br />
the dentist regularly and eating less<br />
sweets can be very helpful. It helps<br />
also to brush your teeth after a<br />
meal. Try to eat a few pieces of fruit<br />
and vegetables per day. Fruits and<br />
vegetables are not only good for your<br />
teeth; they are also delicious. Yes,<br />
candy can be very unhealthy because<br />
it contains a lot of sugar; but other<br />
foods like chips are very unhealthy<br />
as well. Both candy and chips also<br />
make you fat. Being fat is equally not<br />
good for one’s heart. So we must be<br />
careful what we eat.<br />
I hope you now know more about<br />
candy and that you are now more<br />
careful with sugar. Although candy<br />
can be cheap and very delicious,<br />
you might end up spending much<br />
more when you visit your dentist<br />
or doctor. Remember: your health<br />
comes first.<br />

Destinations<br />
Some of the Most Amazing Spots in Africa<br />
In Africa, the rule of law and other democratic gains<br />
have ushered in a more assertive and positive image<br />
of the continent. Freedom, human rights gains and<br />
economic prosperity are systematically, becoming<br />
some of the gains of the new democratic order. The<br />
perception of Africa amongst the West has positively<br />
changed of recent. Apart from the economic muscle of<br />
the continent, the raw beauty of Africa is hard to deny.<br />
Better still, Africans have started to tell their own stories,<br />
rather than allow the West to define and castigate the<br />
continent and its people from the West stereotypical<br />
point of view.<br />
With the new economic power of Africa, many Africans<br />
have started to appreciate the beauty of the continent,<br />
they have equally realized the importance of enjoying<br />
the amazing charm of Africa. Tourists in Africa are no<br />
more limited to the West, Africans are now amongst the<br />
new holiday makers. A swarm of families heading to<br />
the captivating African beaches on weekends is a clear<br />
sign of economic resurrection of Africa. Unlike oil and<br />
other natural resources, which have a time limit and<br />
can disappear after some years of usage, tourism entities<br />
like amazing beaches, panoramic landscapes are there<br />
to stay. It is only a wise government that would invest<br />
heavily in tourism, the undeniable source of national<br />
income. Africans should be the best marketers of their<br />
own natural resources. This can only happen if and<br />
when Africans join the African tourism Mecca – the<br />
African earthly paradise.<br />
With this in mind, Kata Kata Travel team recommends<br />
the following amazing and captivating spots. Take a<br />
break from your work, have a great vacation. With a<br />
copy of your Kata Kata magazine in your hand, relax<br />
and enjoy your holiday!!<br />
Lake Malawi, Malawi<br />
Perhaps, Malawi is not one of the heavyweight names<br />
in Africa, but the country has the undeniable natural<br />
beauty you hardly find in many countries. From the<br />
famous Lake Malawi with its beautiful views, to the<br />
Nyika park are just some of the many attractions of<br />
Malawi. Lake Malawi is not only one of the largest<br />
lakes in the world, it has more tropical fish, -1,300<br />
species - than any lake in the world. With its fresh<br />
water diving potentials and the unique bio-diversity,<br />
Lake Malawi has been chosen by the UNESCO as the<br />
worlds’s first freshwater park World Heritage Site.<br />
Nyiragongo Volcano, Virunga<br />
National Park, Eastern Congo<br />
Although the eruption has displaced more than a<br />
million people, Nyiragongo Volcano, one of Africa’s<br />
most active volcanoes, is a must see while in Eastern<br />
Congo. With amazing two kilometers wide and<br />
usually containing a lava, Nyiragongo Volcano is a<br />
beautiful threat one can hardly ignore.<br />

Bazaruto Archipelago,<br />
Mozambique<br />
After a long civil war, Mozambique<br />
has let the world know that it<br />
has a lot of potential to offer to<br />
the world instead of anarchy.<br />
With abundant natural beauty, a<br />
helicopter ride across the Bazaruto<br />
Archipelago to the Azura Retreats<br />
lodge on Benguerra Island will<br />
leave you stunned. With beautiful<br />
beaches, and sparkling water full<br />
of dolphins, Whales, and dugong,<br />
coupled with appetizing cuisines,<br />
Mozambique has much to offer.<br />

Zanzibar, Tanzania<br />
In terms of tourism in East Africa,<br />
Tanzania’s Zanzibar is top notch because<br />
of its fascinating history and the incredible<br />
beaches. Its location in the Indian ocean<br />
(off the coast of Tanzania) made it a huge<br />
trading centre over time. Zanzibar is<br />
famous for its spices and having become<br />
an important slave trade post under the<br />
Arab rule. The influences of the Arab rule<br />
are obvious on the island, especially in the<br />
famous stone town - one of the island’s<br />
biggest attractions.<br />

Aunt Silvia<br />
Dear ,<br />
Thanks for your valuable advice. I<br />
am a fanatic fan of yours. Recently<br />
my daughter had a bad experience<br />
at school. She was nearly raped<br />
by a group of boys. To worsen the<br />
situation, I was told by my daughter<br />
that her headmaster blamed her for the<br />
unacceptable behavior of the rascals.<br />
That was not all. The only punishment<br />
these boys could get from the school<br />
authorities was a warning never to<br />
“harass” girls. My daughter came back<br />
heartbroken. She was not only terrified<br />
by the action of the boys who wanted<br />
to rape her, she has equally felt guilty<br />
for giving the rapists «opportunity» to<br />
try to harass her.<br />
As a father, who knows how responsible<br />
my daughter is, I feel bad for her.<br />
Equally, she is being pestered by<br />
children, both in school and at home for<br />
being a “loose” girl. Her recent school<br />
result has been very poor – the worse<br />
ever. Please I need your help!! What<br />
shall I do to stimulate my daughter?<br />
Yours,<br />
Njoroge (Southern Rift Valley, Kenya)<br />
Dear Njoroge,<br />
Thank you for your courage. I am not sure whether you are in a marriage<br />
or not because you never talked about your wife / female partner. It<br />
would have been interesting to know what your female partner thinks<br />
about the treatment of your daughter. Regardless, it is very unfortunate<br />
that your daughter was made a victimizer for a crime she never<br />
committed. For the sake of clarity and record purposes, no one has any<br />
right to have sex with a woman without her consent. Not even a husband<br />
has such a right over his wife. Nor does any manner of dressing be used<br />
as an excuse to rape a girl! So, such watery and unfortunate excuses<br />
like «you provoked them to rape you» or «you enticed them because of<br />
the way you dressed» do unfortunately encourage, systematically, the<br />
irresponsible rapist tendencies. It equally goes a long way in defining<br />
women as a sex object. This attitude must be<br />
unequivocally condemned.<br />
I think you and the rest of your family I think you and the<br />
must first and foremost, quickly show rest of your family must<br />
your daughter that you are solidly first and foremost, quickly show<br />
behind her as well as let her know your daughter that you are<br />
how much you love her. She should solidly behind her as well as let<br />
be encouraged to know it was not her know how much you love<br />
her fault that they wanted to rape her. her. She should be encouraged<br />
Rather, it was totally a wrong action<br />
to know it was not her<br />
fault that they wanted to<br />
taken by irresponsible boys. Praise her<br />
rape her.<br />
for refusing the advances of the rascal<br />
rapists and withstanding their aggression. She<br />
needs to be tremendously encouraged.<br />
Likewise, she should be proud of her heroic acts and pay more attention<br />
to her studies as she used to do. Her positive action would encourage<br />
other innocent girls to withstand the criminal acts of the rapists and speak<br />
out against such sexist behaviours.<br />
Concerning the attitude of the headmaster, who not only condemned your<br />
innocent daughter, but gave the criminal minded rapists just a warning,<br />
what more shall one say? In line with our uncompromising stand against<br />
any form of discrimination – especially against women, Kata Kata magazine<br />
would like to offer you a free legal representative, if that would help<br />
punish both the rapist and the headmaster who ingloriously had failed to<br />
live up to his task and responsibilities. Please get in touch with us if you<br />
would like to make use of our offer.<br />
We wish your daughter happy days in school. She is strong breed, who<br />
cannot be intimidated by a bunch of irresponsible sexists.<br />
