Defining romance
Most people think of “romance” as those cliché’ activities such as watching the sunset together, candlelit dinners, or drinking wine by a roaring fire. While those activities are indeed romantic, the idea is to initiate small but meaningful acts that demonstrate love and adoration.
Romantic activities can be simple, such as, picking a rose for your partner occasionally, or strategically hidden love note. They can also be elaborate, like planning surprise vacations, or decorating the house with candy chains and rose petals.
Whether big or small, it’s the actions you perform consciously, made for the express purpose of saying “I love you”.
What you should know about romance:
1.It creates opportunities for partners to spend time together and enhances bonds
2. It strengthens intimacy; bringing about physiological chemicals associated with love
3. It allows for increased communication
4. It allows for humor, entertainment, and adventure
5. It creates a constant reminder of love and adoration
6. It keeps things fresh and lively, (especially important over the long-term)
7. It helps partners get to know one another
8. It promotes and reconstitutes feelings of respect and reciprocity

How can I start incorporating romance into my relationship?
While it is never too late to get started, proactive couples may implement romantic activities early on. In doing so, romance can become a natural part of your connection which may last for years to come.
Below we’ve listed ten techniques for your convenience. While these ideas are yours to use as you like, remember it is best to use these as a guide, adapting them, embellishing or improvising them, as well as coming up with some of your own. Remember that romantic things to do must be creative, adaptive, and fun.
Here are some romantic ideas for him and her that can be adopted easily:
1. Gift-Giving: Abide by the rule that gifts should always be wrapped. A tip to help those out there with busy lives is to stock up on gifts, hiding them so they may be brought out when the time is right. Appropriate times in which to give an unwrapped gift lies in the presentation, for example: a necklace can be strung around a teddy bear, or an engagement ring in the bottom of a champagne glass.
2. Greeting cards: A greeting card can be given with almost any gift, and keeping a stockpile of them may come in handy when you don’t have time to shop. They may be accompanied by flowers, chocolates, balloons, a stuffed animal, or other gift.
3. Mail order subscriptions: Does your partner like chocolate, lingerie, perfume? Many companies offer clubs or memberships, which send off samples monthly by mail.
4. Wash his feet: Grab a tub of hot soapy water and a loofah; wash his feet, dry them, and then continue about your business. He will be honored and speechless.
5. Professional massage: You can massage your partner yourself, or if you’re not confident in your skills, set up an appointment for two at a spa or massage parlor. The two of you will enjoy having a relaxing massage together.
6. Poetry and music: If you’re creative, write a one page poem about your partner and have it written in calligraphy and framed. Or, see how you can have an album by his favorite musician autographed and mailed.
7. Photo album: Put together a secret photo album that serves as a memoir of you and your partner’s lives together. It can have baby pictures of each of you, then a timeline represented by pictures of you before you met, while courting, and into the present. Once finished, you can spend hours reminiscing over your memories.
8. Towel in the dryer: Towel him or her off with a pre-warmed towel after a shower or bath. They are guaranteed to love it.
9. Surprise scavenger hunt: Hide a series of notes strategically around the house with riddles. Your partner will go nuts figuring out each riddle and locating each new clue. At the end of the scavenger hunt, a prize should be waiting.
10. Candy notes: If your partner likes candy, you can leave all sorts of quippy but cheesy notes with candy. A pack of Red Hots can say “I’m hot for you”, or hershey’s kisses can be used as coupons for “kisses” or other sensual favors.

Mino Raiola, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent, has described the possibility of the striker joining Manchester United as a "beautiful thing" and believes he wants "revenge" on Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola after the pair fell out at Barcelona.
Moving to Manchester United would be a beautiful thing. It's a great team with a great coach. I've made my decision, but it has not yet taken.
He's really busy with the [European Championship]. Out of respect his country, the fans and the coach must be professional and concentrate on that.
I think he wants revenge on Guardiola, although he does not live for it because you shouldn't have two graves - one for him and one for the enemy.
You learn more from defeats than you do from victories, and Zlatan learned a lot from what happened with Guardiola.
As a person, I don't like him either. Zlatan admits he is a great coach and I can think it but refuse to admit it.
According to Anthony Jepson of the Manchester Evening News, the pair had a high-profile falling-out after the Swede's stint under him at the Camp Nou.
With his contract at Paris Saint-Germain set to expire, Ibrahimovic and his camp have been strongly hinting at a move to Old Trafford this summer, per the Guardian's Barney Ronay, but neither side has confirmed such a move, according to Bleacher Report UK's Jonathan Johnson:
As WhoScored.com revealed, the forward enjoyed his best campaign yet in Ligue 1 last season:
Indeed, the 34-year-old defied his age and finished the year with 50 goals and 19 assists to his name in all competitions.
United legend Rio Ferdinand urged Premier League sides to consider him as a target this summer:
The Red Devils could benefit from those qualities in particular, having lost the swagger and winning mentality they once enjoyed under Sir Alex Ferguson.
After he played in Ligue 1—against a lower calibre of opposition than he'd face in the English top flight—some will doubt his ability to perform well in the Premier League at his age.
Ibra's poor outings at Euro 2016 thus far will have done little to change them of that idea.
However, as ESPN's Alex Shaw noted, he has little to work with in the Sweden side:
At United under Jose Mourinho, Ibrahimovic would have far better players supplying him with ammunition.
Against the stronger teams the Premier League has to offer, he won't replicate his goalscoring feats with PSG, but Ibrahimovic could still be a success.
West Ham will start the new Premier League season with the aim of winning the title, according to David Sullivan.
The Hammers finished seventh last season, which represented the club's highest finish and best points tally in the Premier League era.
But Slaven Bilic's side are determined to continue to build on such success and the club's co-chairman has set his sights on replicating Leicester, who were crowned champions for the first time in their 132-year history last term.
"We all saw what Leicester did last season and we start the campaign with the aim of winning the Premier League," Sullivan told the club's official website.
"Anyone who says it can't be done only has to look at what Leicester achieved and it can be done.
"It is unlikely but that has to be our aim, along with the FA Cup and Capital One Cup.
"We have three trophies and we want to win all of them. We are also in Europe and we want to do well in that as well," Sullivan insisted.
West Ham have already strengthened significantly in the transfer market this summer with Havard Nordtveit and Sofiane Feghouli set to arrive from Borussia Monchengladbach and Valencia.
But Sullivan has echoed the sentiments of his manager and declared that the acquisition of a centre forward is key to the club's project ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium.
"We are all excited about our big move into the new Stadium. The facilities will be so much better and I hope the atmosphere will be just as good there.
"Once we sign a top striker I will feel a lot better and that is the main position we need.
"Our top goalscorer last season scored 12 goals and if someone had scored 20 we would have been in a different position," he insisted.
Tottenham are close to making Southampton's Victor Wanyama their first signing of the summer, after the two clubs agreed a fee over the weekend.
Wanyama is set to undergo a medical on Monday, before potentially linking up with his former boss from St Mary's.
The fee, believed to be around £9million up front, could potentially reach up to £12m provided additional clauses are met.
The 26-year-old was linked heavily with a move away from Southampton last summer, but no clubs were able to breach the Saints' resolve and Wanyama played a pivotal role in leading the club to a sixth-placed finish.
Pochettino is keen to bolster his midfield options ahead of the upcoming season, with the Argentine attempting to balance another Premier League title challenge with Champions League football.
The Kenyan has made 85 league appearances for the south coast club, and has one year remaining on his current Saints contract.
Bejaia — Tanzania representatives in the African Confederation Cup championship, Young Africans has tonight suffered a 1-0 defeat from hosts MO Bejaia in group A match in Bejaia, Algeria.
DR Congo's TP Mazembe harvested three points after a 3-1 win against visitors Medeama of Ghana in another group A match on Sunday.
It took MO Bejaia 20 minutes to score the lone goal through Yacine Sahli. Sahli scored connecting a cross by Athumani that Yanga defenders failed to clear. Until half time, the hosts were on 1-0 lead.
In the second half, Yanga's left back; Oscar Joshua was substituted to Mwinyi Haji after sustaining injuries. Mwinyi was also sent off the game in injury time after being shown the second yellow card.
Head coach, Hans van der Pluijm substituted Deus Kaseke with Geofrey Mwashiuy, Amissi Tambwe to Matheo Anthony. The changes gave no changes to final results, though the Tanzania soccer giants dominated the game in the second half.
When a Moroccan referee blew the final whistle, results remained Mo Bejaia 1-0 Yanga.
A 22-year-old mass communication student is the fairest of them all. On Saturday, Ms Wendy Omolo from Homa Bay County was crowned Miss Tourism Kenya 2016 during a gala night held at Kidundu Stadium, Vihiga County.
Ms Omolo took home the coveted title in the finals against Uasin Gishu's Kezia Matakala and Winnie Chepng'etich from Bomet County.
Ms Matakala emerged second, winning an award in hospitality, while Ms Chepng'etich bagged the second runners up title award in investment.
Ms Omolo, a Moi University student awaiting graduation, was crowned in a ritzy ceremony and had been rated among top 10 contestants.
She also excelled in the peace and unity Award and formal dressing.
A sassy Omolo wore a red evening gown that went well with the occasion. Miss Omolo was crowned winner at 5.15am Sunday after beating a bevy of 41 lookers.
Asked why she decided to contest in a beauty pageant, she said: "When I am on stage or when I am doing my charity work, you see a different person. I love meeting people, I love travelling and I love going places," she said.
Ms Omolo plans to do charity work during her reign. The Sh100 million event brought together 3,000 people, among them more than 10 governors, led by Vihiga's Moses Akaranga. It ran through the night of Saturday June 18.
Also present was Cord leader Raila Odinga, Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, Mining Cabinet Secretary Dan Kazungu and Miss Tourism Kenya Director Alice Kamunge.
Immediately she was named the winner, the crowd burst into song and dance, with delegations from the lake side county of Homa Bay joining her on the main dais.
She shed tears of joy and quickly said she was ready to take up the task of marketing Kenya's potential as a tourist and investment destination.
Renowned gospel artiste Mercy Masika entertained the lively crowd in the warm moonlit night. The event rolled over from Saturday night to Sunday morning with a host of comedians taking the stage to keep the guests entertained.
Participating counties were divided into nine regions that included the coast, great Nairobi, North Rift, South Rift, South Savanna, Northern Frontier, Western, Nyanza and Mt Kenya.
AGAINST ALL ODDS
The winner took home a grand package of Sh1.2 million that included a destination of her choice.
Winners for various other categories were also awarded, with Murang'a County bagging the award for the region that was most voted for by the public after attaining 44,471 votes through short messaging service.
Mombasa's Miss Babylynn Mukila, who is deaf, received an award of honour for taking part in the competitions despite her disability. Mr Kazungu also awarded Miss Mukila for beating all odds to be part of the competition.
He said: "This is culture, integration, tourism and cohesion."
Mr Akaranga, who enumerated the various tourism attraction sites in Vihiga, said the event was welcome as it aimed at enabling all the communities in the country know each other and foster the spirit of one country.
"So many counties are here today. This is a sign of unity that must be embraced at all times," said Mr Akaranga.
Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto said: "It is devolution that has enabled us meet here today. This has never happened before in our country for the past 60 years. All the 42 tribes of Kenya are here today."
Officials from the Ministry of Tourism were conspicuously missing at the event with no representative sent to grace the event whose main agenda aims at advancing promotion of tourism.
This year's theme is 'Exploring our cultural heritage for social and economic development of our people'.
More than 7,000 police officers are working without pay because they have failed to declare their wealth.
The officers were shocked to find that, while their colleagues had received their June salaries, no money had been remitted to their accounts.
Salaries for police officers were paid a week early this month since the Treasury had to close its accounts in readiness for the 2016/2017 financial year.
Police officers are required to declare their wealth after every two years as part of government efforts to audit its employees' lifestyles.
Police officers are deemed the most corrupt in government, according to independent reports over the years.
The Nation established that 7,860 officers in the Kenya police had been affected.
They have until July 15 to declare their wealth otherwise they risk missing their next salaries.
Besides the lifestyle audit, the National Police Service Commission is vetting officers with aim of sending home those found to be corrupt and inefficient.
Officers who were promoted irregularly, those who violate human rights as the well as those holding fake academic papers are also targeted for the sack.
The Mr Johnston Kavuludi-led commission is at present holding sittings in Kisumu.
Vetting sessions have revealed that officers from the traffic department, deemed most corrupt section of the service, are extremely wealthy despite their remuneration.
So far 302 traffic police officers have been fired even before the vetting started after they failed to provide bank account statements.
The commission wrote the letters to the officers from the ranks of constable to chief inspector, notifying them of their dismissal.
An earlier vetting of their commanders, who are superintendents and senior superintendents, saw 63 of them fired.
Mr Kavuludi said the decision to dismiss the officers was reached at a board meeting.
ONE thing is to hear about a story, but it is crucial to know that you know your story. Who else would? Sometimes people ask this question, but really, how well do you know yourself and your story?
Sometimes we are afraid to go beneath the reflective surface of your conscious thought. I always remind myself that in a deep pool of nearly forgotten lived experiences that affect what we as human beings, how we feel and what we choose to do.
Another important question to ask oneself is why do you like the music you like? The kinds of friends you make? Why do some things make you feel deeply happy? Why do other things make you angry?
Your particular story lies beneath all those aspects of your conscious life. Religions and philosophers convey the same wakeup call that it’s important to be in touch with your story— and that for two reasons.
Our parents, spiritual leaders, philosophers, organisation gurus always remind us that knowing your story can help you understand yourself, especially your strengths, your limits and why some values are especially important to you.
Again, they tell us knowing your story helps you understand that all other persons have their own stories and those affect their thought, their feelings, their moral values and even their ability to act. Knowing your story helps you understand where others are coming from. But, it is unfortunate to find that one who is so close to one’s own story may not see it as a story.
Things happen to you and you make choices, but it takes a special kind of thinking to see how it all connects to shape you. If Members of Parliament (MPs) from opposition and the CCM ruling party will be willing to contemplate their choices they might be able to reach an amicable solution in the current standoff in the House in Dodoma. Philosophers keep advising us that we have to develop that special kind of thinking. How?
One good strategy is to read. Read good literature, stories with strong character portrayal, not just action stories. Read good literature from cultures other than your own, too. I was expecting the MPs to challenge the former speaker of the National Assembly by responding to his arguments that the CCM MPs are not bullying the opposition and that the Parliament is not a rubber stamp.
Alas, no one from the opposition has done so, instead we continue seeing the walkout episode from the House. What a pity! Some people are too biased and prejudiced to read about Chinese philosophy or Islamic civilisation, Christianity or Indian Buddhist values or even other cultures. Why not put your bias behind and start thinking positive about other cultures and values. Definitely that helps you understand and appreciate yourself.
It also helps you develop empathy - the ability to understand and appreciate others. Empathy is very important on the Moral Highway especially for those representing the electorate in the National Assembly.
We are also advised by philosophers both in our religions and ethical world that everyone has to reflect on one’s story, to make conscious those nearly forgotten lived experiences.
Thus, through such reflections one can better understand where one is coming from. But even then, one needs to be a bit skeptical about one’s picture of oneself. My take is that self-deception is a common risk—drawing a picture of yourself that’s more flattering than accurate.
As you reflect on your story, pay special attention to what other people think of you and how other people respond to you. Be ready to laugh at yourself, too.
Minister for Health, Community Development, Gender, the Elderly and Children, Ms Ummy Mwalimu, at Dodoma Regional Hospital.
Dodoma — Seven people have died as of Saturday last week while 21 others are quarantined at the Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital and Kondoa District Hospital after they contracted a mysterious disease in Chemba and Kondoa districts.
The Minister for Health, Social Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, Ms Ummy Mwalimu, said samples of the victims are now being clinically tested to identify the strange disease, with laboratory results expected between today (Monday) and tomorrow Tuesday.
TANZANIA has started to build its own helicopters in a project that will see the first batch of such choppers taking into the sky sometimes in 2018.
Already, the prototype model, a two-seater aircraft is in its final stages of completion at the Mechanical and Engineering Department of the Arusha Technical College, which runs a fully-fledged factory producing various forms of machinery, including a prototype motor vehicle and a number of industrial engines.
But it is the Tanzanian-made new helicopter that seems to be turning heads here; “We are complementing President Magufuli’s industrialisation policy in pioneering the first locally made helicopters that will be available to ordinary residents at affordable prices,” explained the man behind the ATC chopper project, Engineer Abdi Mjema.
The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Ms Maimuna Tarishi, who also toured the project over the weekend seemed surprised at the development and wanted to know when exactly the chopper will hit the skies.
“We are contacting the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) for the permission to fly the chopper for trials,” said Engineer Mjema.
He assured the PS that the future of the ‘affordable,’ chopper -- to ease the country’s transport woes -- is approaching. “The Tanzania-made helicopters will fly before 2020 -- and specifically 2018, which is two years from now,” he added.
The idea was hatched two months ago by two engineers at the Arusha Technical College; Engineer Adisai Msongole, now serving as the ATC Bursar, and Engineer Abdi Mjema. The chassis as well as airframe for the pioneer chopper is ready -- complete with a mounted flat engine.
“We had initially intended the two-seater helicopter to be used for surveillance, rescue and agricultural purposes. However, as the project takes shape, we may increase the airframes to carry more people for serious transportation,” said the engineer.
The helicopter is currently 50 per cent complete and features the popular gasolinepowered VW flat engine on board. The motors, manufactured by Volkswagen in Germany, are the same used to make the ‘Robinson’ helicopters in the United States. “Once we get the aviation authority approval, we shall complete the most sensitive part of the helicopter -- mounting the main rotor.
This should be ready in threeweek’s time,” said Eng Mjema, adding that Arusha will set history as the first region to fly the first-ever Tanzanian manufactured helicopter in July 2016. With a non-pressurised cabin, the Prototype ATC helicopter has a flying ceiling of 400 feet for starters, taking into consideration that Arusha is already at a higher altitude.
But the flying height is set to increase with more complete and accomplished models. Most commercial choppers can fly up to 8,000 feet above sea level. On how many choppers the college can manufacture in a year once the project gets a nod from higher authorities, Eng Mjema said that depended on demand.
“But with serious work we can roll out up to 20 such helicopters in a year,” boasted the engineer.
The Rector of Arusha Technical College, Dr Richard Masika, had previously stated that, ATC was moving from being an ordinary college of technical, engineering and technological training towards becoming a fully-fledged factory, which will deal in vehicle and heavy machinery repair and manufacturing.
Next August ATC will be completing the first phase of Kikuletwa Hydropower Station Project and training centre setup, through which the college is going to churn electricity and hold training at the site based in Kilimanjaro Region.
“Jamie Vardy, at the moment, is at Leicester,” he said. “On what I know he will stay at Leicester.”
Arsenal have activated a £20million release clause in the Premier League champions contract and verbally agreed a three-year, £120,000-a-week deal that allows for a further 12 month extension.
However the Gunners are still waiting formal confirmation from Vardy as to whether he will remain at Leicester. Though Arsenal are prepared to give the 29-year-old time to make his decision their pursuit looks increasingly forlorn, with the England striker having told international team-mates he is “80 per cent” likely to turn down a move.
Wenger is yet to publically comment on his side’s interest in the Leicester striker, who he spoke of in glowing terms throughout last season. However in an interview with Japanese TV over the weekend he confirmed that Arsenal were not expecting Vardy to take up the option to move to the Emirates.
Rejection from Vardy leaves Wenger needing to switch attention to other potential signings, and he may consider returning to the race for Spanish striker Alvaro Morata, also a target for Manchester United and Chelsea.
The Arsenal manager is currently in France, where he works as a pundit for French television, and has previously spoken of how he finds being at an international tournament to be the most effective way to conduct transfer business.
But, unfortunately for Arsenal supporters the players that have caught Wenger’s eye in the opening days of Euro 2016, including Manchester United’s Anthony Martial and Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, are unlikely to be available in the summer window.
“At the moment most talented young players are in France,” he said. “We speak about Martial, we speak about Coman, who are still about 20. I’ve seen a very talent who came on the other day from Turkey, [Emre] Mor.
Gonzalo Higuain's double (8, 28) and Luis Manuel Seijas' embarrassing penalty miss put the Albiceleste in control at half-time at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Saturday.
Messi made it three - matching Gabriel Batistuta's tally of 54 goals for Argentina - on the hour mark and though Salomon Rondon deservedly got Venezuela on the scoresheet 10 minutes later, Erik Lamela swiftly snuffed out their hopes.
Messi, starting for the first time in this centenary edition of the tournament, curled an early effort wide before setting up Higuain's eighth-minute opener with a cross in from deep on the right flank, Higuain lunging in to sweep the ball expertly past goalkeeper Dani Hernandez.
Messi misjudged an opportunist lob with Hernandez stranded 18 yards out after misjudging Nicolas Otamendi's long ball but Venezuela threatened a leveller when a corner was not properly cleared, Rondon just unable to connect with a similar effort to Higuain's.
Arquimedes Figuera was ruled to have taken the ball rather than, as replays suggested, bundling Messi over in the penalty area and Wilker Angel blocked Higuain's shot.
Nicolas Gaitan's booking, for a hack at Alexander Gonzalez, ruled him out of a semi-final which moved a step closer when Figuera's woeful back-pass allowed Higuain to saunter around Hernandez and make it 2-0.
Figuera almost redeemed himself by setting up Rondon, who forced a superb reaction save from Sergio Romero, and the West Brom striker then headed against the left post from Seijas' corner.
Venezuela's resurgence continued as Romero had to adjust to tip Rolf Feltscher's deflected shot over before Martinez, having been denied one penalty, was awarded one after keeper Romero's clumsy challenge - but Seijas, a late inclusion in the line-up in place of the injured Adalberto Penaranda, was made to look foolish as Romero stood his ground to casually catch his chipped spot-kick.
Gaitan was just unable to put a hat-trick on a plate for Higuain straight from the second-half kick-off. Venezuela's Wilker Angel was then booked despite Figuera clearly being the guilty party as Messi was again fouled.
Messi put the game to bed on the hour after exchanging passes with Gaitan and finishing through Hernandez's legs.
Figuera was finally booked for his latest crude challenge on the Barcelona star, meaning he would have been dismissed but for the previous case of mistaken identity.
Rondon pulled a goal back with a header from Alejandro Guerra's left-wing cross but Argentina substitute Lamela immediately made it 4-1 with a deflected finish from Messi's pass.
And with little further goalmouth action it was Gerardo Martino's side who went forward to Tuesday's semi-final clash with the hosts in Houston.
In the other semi-final, Chile thrashed Mexico 7-0 in Santa Clara to set up a last-four encounter with Colombia in Chicago on Wednesday.
