But not me; It’s not exciting, it’s not funny at all, and I do not like it! It leaves me with that feeling of being cornered. 2012-05-24T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Three+children+in+three+years++The+challenges+outweigh+the+joy/-/691232/1411946/-/1146hqjz/-/index.html On a typical day, Lydia Nabulya’s children will wake up, say their greetings, bathe, have their breakfast and go play. It is not until they are hungry that they will come by again to pick a fruit or a snack. And after their breakfast, Nabulya can relax and attend to some of her house chores. 2012-05-23T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Is+your+lifestyle+making+you+sick+/-/691232/1411936/-/7w57akz/-/index.html Twenty years ago, diseases like diabetes were not common. Such lifestyle diseases were referred to as “diseases for the rich”, says Dr Vincent Kafuuzi Karuhanga. Today, they are on the rise and are largely caused by our lifestyles. 2012-05-23T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Down+But+Not+Out++A+cat+and+mouse+chase+with+traffic+officers/-/691232/1412048/-/109kcehz/-/index.html Time check is 7.30am. A car (Ipsum) stops at Seeta stage in Mukono on the Kampala-Jinja highway. I move to inquire from the driver whether he is going to the city where I am heading for work. Passengers here often board all kinds of vehicles, including private ones and pay a Shs2,000-fare like in taxis. 2012-05-23T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Askthedoctor+/Is+it+true+that+groundnuts+can+cure+impotence/-/691236/1412026/-/1q56uoz/-/index.html Dear doctor, is it true that groundnuts can treat impotence? If it is true how much should I eat because I have tried and tried without results! 2012-05-23T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Why+do+our+women+cheat+a+lot+/-/691232/1411614/-/ywlcswz/-/index.html So our educated women cheat more than any of the folks? Blimey! And here I was blaming my very uneducated maid for having this very laissez-faire attitude towards sex! 2012-05-22T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/What+it+means++++To+be+epileptic/-/691232/1411474/-/sp6vo0/-/index.html I am Sarah Nakakande, 29. I clearly remember the first time I got an epileptic attack. The year was 2000 and I was in Senior Four. It was a Sunday and I was in church with my family when I started feeling weak. But before I could digest what was happening, I lost consciousness. Unlike most people, my type of epilepsy was not inherited. In fact, I brought it onto myself. But after medicating for over six years, I have now healed. 2012-05-22T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/The+valley+that+witnessed+Bishop+Hannington+s+death/-/691232/1411440/-/wwhcjb/-/index.html At the time of his murder on October 29, 1885, the whites were still trying to make inroads to the “dark continent,” as Africa was called then. To venture into its interior, would take determination, including surrender of life, be it to diseases or the unknown tribes of the time. 2012-05-22T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/+Finest++principled+and+rare+breed+of+a+leader++/-/691232/1411424/-/7ljmw2/-/index.html According former Ethics Minister, Dr. James Nsaba Buturo, the late Cuthbert Obwangor, Uganda’s first post-colonial-government Attorney General, can best be described as one of the finest, principled and a rare breed of leader Uganda has ever raised. 2012-05-22T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/The+woes+and+unending+lessons+of+motherhood/-/691232/1409686/-/yaf91a/-/index.html This whole Mother’s Day thing is confusing. I mean the dates. Which one does Uganda celebrate, the American date or English one? And why are there two dates anyway? I sent some mums messages thanking them for being great mamas – only to find out that the day people were more conversant with was a few days away. Anyway, what matters is that on either day, we mummies got to be thanked and celebrated. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Entertainment/Suzan+Kerunen+in+Cancer+Benefit+concert/-/812796/1409712/-/gko7w8/-/index.html Whereas other singers call on fans to support them in concert to launch their latest albums, Suzan Kerunen is doing it differently - she is tying a good cause to her concert. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/The+tragedy+of+Ugandan+traders+in+South+Sudan/-/691232/1409602/-/mi3tjc/-/index.html South Sudan has been the Promised Land, the virgin market overflowing with business opportunities and well-paying jobs in international organisations. And the evidence suggests there is a truth to it. Uganda pockets at least $500m (Shs1.3t) of revenue from South Sudan, annually. But, just like the farmers in John Steinbeck’s novel, The Grapes of Wrath, some Ugandan traders have similarly sojourned up north in search of this economic promise, only to find the tragedy of economic loss, personal injury and death. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Of+Uganda+s+foreign+policy+and+adding+South+Sudan+to+the+EAC/-/691232/1409610/-/1i4n9yz/-/index.html Traders speak of muted and at times indifferent responses from the Ugandan embassy in South Sudan, when they rushed there to report their troubles, with officials saying they do not interfere in personal business transactions. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Understanding+Police+ranks/-/691232/1409616/-/wd82xgz/-/index.html When Assistant Inspector of Police John Michael Ariong died after sustaining serious injuries on the head, the biggest debate was not only on the cause of his death but also whether he was a senior or junior officer. Given the fact that he had served for more than 26 years in the force, some people argued that that was enough to bestow on him “seniority”. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Taking+local+herbal+medicine+online/-/691232/1409640/-/5lh3q8/-/index.html Meeting Anthony Mugabira is evidence of the adage that age is but a number. At 23, he confirms that living the life you envision begins now-- when one goes after their dreams the time they conceive them and not wait for all things to first be in place in order to do so. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Entertainment/Looking+for+Uganda+s+fairest+teenage+beauty/-/812796/1409702/-/n4idtn/-/index.html Always jumping at any opportunity to hang out, teenagers flocked Garden City roof top hours before most headed to school for second term. The event was launch of the first ever Miss Teen Beauty Contest. The main event is to be held during the next holiday after school tours to choose contestants. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Travel/Top+tips+for+longhaul+travel+with+children/-/691238/1408958/-/gbfouxz/-/index.html There is something magical about flying when you are a child; being awed by the size of the aircraft, the anticipation as you fasten your seatbelt, the excitement of takeoff and the wonder of looking down on the clouds. 2012-05-19T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Travel/Where+history+blends+with+adventure++/-/691238/1408942/-/9rwtkfz/-/index.html Sydney is synonymous with Glamour. It is famous for the parties, amazing landscape, the fireworks and captivating architecture. 2012-05-19T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Dining+++Recipes/Cook+out+to+your+taste/-/691226/1408970/-/ambdmb/-/index.html One of the main attractions of Kati Kati Restaurant is the corrogoga which is a loose translation for the word mixture. This event or ritual is a weekend event that has over the years proven to be very popular with families. 2012-05-19T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Answering+life+s+questions+through+art/-/691232/1408436/-/1eq5lq/-/index.html With 30 poetic and evocative painting, self-taught artist Felix Magima speaks a few decibels louder through a whirlwind tour of life. He portrays a new perspective on some of the most intriguing factors. Religion, money, the cosmos, feeling of fear and pessimism as well as mythology. The work of his hand in his exhibition titled One Time Art, applies no less quiet contemplation and daring effort to re-codify their meaning to the functional realm. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Movie+industry+rewarded/-/691232/1408432/-/3rqij9z/-/index.html For an industry that is struggling and slowly but steadily growing in the country commanding a rather small market, the award giving ceremony at Theatre Labonita was not only a celebration of how far the industry has come, but also a time to reward the industry. The second annual Pearl International Film festival held under the theme “I am Ugandan” on May 12 attracted a full house. It recognised Ugandan films in the various categories of Feature films, Series, short films, documentaries and animations. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/When+the+tongue+is+cut+++/-/691232/1408440/-/11sj9k1z/-/index.html If there is a book that lives up to its hype then it is Sitawa Namwalie’s poetry collection, Cut off my Tongue. At the national museum where this dramatised poetry was performed, visual scenes of Kenya were created in the eyes of everyone in attendance. The cast included the amazing phenomenal Sitawa Namwalie, the charming eye gluing Alice Karunditu and the great instrumentalist Willy Rama. For a moment, you had all the different takes on African lives shoved in your face. On one hand it is a virtuous life, and then it sleeps into a retrogressive yet all in all massively pleasurable African Life. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Oliver+Twist+comes+to+theatre/-/691232/1408444/-/p1cwaiz/-/index.html The success of Dancing Queen, the musical, last year left regular theatre-goers excited. Rarely does a locally produced musical draw the crowds the Ugandan adaptation of the ABBA Mama Mia musical did, and this was a sign to them that theatre in Uganda is not dead, as long as everything is done right. The only special ingredient to get crowds in the theatre is to give them a great production. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Music+review+Melanie+Fiona+s+MF+life/-/691232/1408450/-/3icaeq/-/index.html Her first album, The Bridge, was a huge success selling over 250,000 copies and having the no.1 RnB record in the world (It kills me). Personally, I think this album did not receive the due attention it solely deserved because every song on it was something special. It included songs like “Johnny”,” Monday morning”, “Sad Songs”, and my personal favourite “Teach Me”. Melanie takes it up another level on the “mf life” proving that she is worth all the hype surrounding her. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Getting+that+block+bursting+story+at+all+costs/-/691232/1408452/-/28ina9z/-/index.html Imagine a bunch of reporters opening a swanky bar targeting city authorities so they can eavesdrop and expose their excesses! In a small city like Kampala, it would be easy to burst the ruse seeing that almost everybody knows everybody. But in a place as vast as Chicago in the United States, the scribes pulled it off, and that’s what The Mirage is all about. It’s February 1976 when Chicago Sun-Times Editor James Hodge asks reporter Pamela Zekman if she has any investigative projects in mind. Zekman has heard about the massive corruption that small-business owners have suffered and has long wanted to expose it first-hand. 2012-05-18T21:00:00Z
