Food - The Loves and Hates of a Kid
Breast-feeding, according to the child experts, is to be recommended. It isn't only a matter of nutrition. A child's future personality is also nurtured by it. It helps, apparently, with confidence-building. But what about when you've been weaned and are confronted with food you dislike?
Quite a few foods shook my four-year-old confidence in the possibility of survival and I am, to this day, apprehensive when friends invite me home for dinner. Suppose the hostess has prepared some cordon bleu dish I simply cannot eat?
I wonder if most people disliked certain foods when they were little. Movie stars don't look as though anything could have fazed them. Did spinach ever shake the confidence of any of the famous actors? Did Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Shakira, for instance, like rhubarb and custard when they were three or four? What was Brad Pitt's tolerance for broccoli? Did Johnny Depp relish eggs? My guess is they took everything in their stride as they seem to do today.
But, as one of the rest, I hated eggs as a small child. A cousin of mine, whom I knew when he was three and I was fourteen, just didn't want to eat anything. "Naah!" he would yell when a plate of food was put before him. Then, he would jump off his chair and dash for the garden.
His mother would run after him, the plate in one hand and, as often as not, his pyjama jacket, which he had wrenched himself out of as she grabbed at him, in the other. They would run several times round the garden. It was a futile exercise. He never ate whatever it was he was supposed to. He seemed only to drink milk.
I sympathised with him. I also envied his getting away with such behaviour. My mother would have given me a resounding wallop.
But it was my grandmother most of the time who presided when my brother and I were eating at breakfast and our parents were downing coffee and hurrying off to work. Gran was more tolerant and, for whatever the reason, I never thought of escaping into the garden.
There were several foods I couldn't, or wouldn't eat. Spinach, okras and semolina pudding were high on the list, but those didn't appear on the table every day. Eggs, however, were another matter. We were confronted with them almost daily at breakfast.
Gran fried them, boiled them, poached them and scrambled them. No go.
Fortunately, Gran didn't sit at the table, eagle-eyeing us all the time. She busied herself between the dining-room and the pantry fetching this and that. So, when her back was turned, I was sometimes able to throw a fried egg under the table, or put it on my knee for Sam or Suzy, one of our Labrador retrievers to slurp up.
My younger brother, Yazeed, seems to me to have been exceptional. He could--and did--eat everything put before him. Gran sometimes said: "Yazeed puts himself outside the food. He surrounds it. You barely put it inside you." He later turned into a self-confident Gulliver of six foot among his 11-year-old peers.
In desperation, one day, Gran chopped up a boiled egg, melted butter into it, and tried to spoon-feed me like a baby. The humiliation was great, but the block to eating wasn't that. It was the smell. I threw up.
Then, one day, the family went on holiday. My mother ordered a baked egg at breakfast the first morning at the hotel. To my amazement, it smelt really good and I ordered one myself the next day. The egg was buried under a crust of melted Cheddar and Stilton cheese and under the egg were chopped onions, olives, tomatoes, basil and garlic cooked in butter.
Ah, the aroma! The taste! Scrumptious! My egg problem was suddenly solved. Gran was delighted.
Many years later I discovered why grownups are so insistent on children eating eggs. My children were never fussy about food, thank Heaven, but a paediatrician once told my wife: "If you can get them to eat an egg in the morning, you needn't worry about what they eat the rest of the day. Eggs are an almost perfect food."
Incidentally, just in case you want to try a baked egg on your kid, you need to know it takes 17 minutes at 180 degrees C in my pre-heated convection oven to get the yoke into a non-runny state. Maybe you can improve on the speed by raising the temperature. I keep it at 180 C in line with the instructions for my ovenware. I hope, though, you only want to give your kid a change of fare and that you have a beautiful child who likes all food and will become a star.

"WAKA WAKA" - This Time It's Shakira
At the time I was writing this article on Wednesday 14th July at 5.15 AM, 95,143,192 viewers had watched Shakira's Waka Waka, the official theme song for the FIFA this year. It has easily become the biggest Youtube hit ever and the number of viewers is growing in millions even after Spain became the world champions.
One can say Football is the most popular sport in the world and it's obvious that everyone sings along with the official song, especially when other alternatives are not provided. But for 'Waka Waka' to receive this much of attention there must be something really attractive in the song.
The visuals were developed by Ogilvy and Mather Executive Creative Director Antonio Navas in collaboration with the singer.
Shakira's thoughts on the success of 'Waka Waka' are important for us to know.
She said, "It has been a pleasure to collaborate with
( 1 ) a creative mind like Antonios, he truly ( 2 ) understands the world's cultures and with just an image or a word is capable of capturing a universal truth. While conceptualizing the 'Waka Waka' video we ( 3 ) understood each other perfectly, he is a great person because he ( 4 ) immerses himself completely in the project, and has a great sensibility. I will always be grateful for his help on this project."
If you need to succeed not only in marketing a music video but also marketing your brand or creating an attractive advertisement, The Mantra is in her explanation. Shakira simply explains the ingredients you need to make a successful brand communication.
First, you need a creative mind. Only a creative mind can deliver something different and innovative. We may be exposed to thousands of songs and advertisements but how many go into our mind and are deposited there. Only an offering which is different from others can win a mind space and remain there. 'Waka Waka' has that flavour.
Shakira said the creator truly understands the world's cultures. Assume you are developing an advertisement; it is important to capture cultural values and norms of your target audience. We learned that the advertisements based on human insights are much closer to the heart and soul of the potential customers. 'Waka Waka' became so close to people as throughout the world people felt they were a part of it. Once you have that feeling, you start loving it.
She further said, "While conceptualizing the 'Waka Waka' video we understood each other perfectly. One of most important factors for the success of a collective effort is respecting each other's views. Sometimes you may not agree fully with an idea put forward by the other person involved in the process. But handling such situations without hurting anyone's feelings is difficult but critical."
The fourth point raised by Shakira was about giving your 100 % to the work you do. Knowing the gravity of 'Waka Waka', the creative director may have no other option other than giving his best but making the job part of your soul and giving your highest commitment will ultimately result in quality outcome.
I need to make one last comment. Even though 'Waka Waka' was sung by Shakira for the FIFA it was a remake of an old Cameroonian song by an artiste called Zangalewa. (Type Zamina Waka Waka Time for Africa Original Version on Youtube).
The difference between Shakira and Zamina lies in the power of marketing.

Shakira - The Sensation of Latin Music
Most people in this world have known Shakira, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, as a Columbian Latin pop singer and songwriter. She is also known as the sensation of Latin music because of her fabulous songs and her sensational belly dancing.
Shakira is a very talented girl. At the age of eight, she was writing and composing music. And by the age of thirteen, Shakira was become a local celebrity who had a lucky chance encounter with Sony Columbia executive, Ciro Vargas, on a flight from Barranquilla to Bogota.
After that, Shakira got her first record deal with the company and was released her debut album called Magia (Magic) in 1991. The album, which lacked recording and production cohesion, failed to sell over one thousand copies. After that time, Shakira decided to take a break from recording and graduate from high school.
In 1995, Shakira returned to the music scene with the album called Pies Descalzos (Bare Feet), which solidified her commercial success by selling over 5 million copies worldwide. And in the years after, her career is flying away like a meteor to the top of the world. Later, she quickly becomes the sensation of Latin music and she introduces belly dancing to the whole world.
In 2001, Shakira started work on a crossover album to the English language. Laundry Service is considered to be her first album in English. Laundry Service would eventually go on to sell more than 13 million CDs worldwide, and produces such hits as Whenever Wherever, Underneath Your Clothes, Te Dejo Madrid (I Leave You Madrid), Objection (Tango), and The One. Later on, the commercial success of her English album had continued by the years to come. Shakira is now currently engaged to the son of former president of Argentina, Fernando de la Rua.

Shakira Zangalew - World Cup 2010 Opening Song
In 1985 a group of soldiers (artist) under the name Golden Sounds, realized a song that today has been the second anthem of Cameroon after the national anthem. Zangalewa was the name of the song that hit across all corners of Africa. Jean Paul Ze Bella the lead singer alongside Kojic Emile and Victor Dooh Belley explained the source of their inspiration as a way to pay tribute to Cameroon soldiers who fort during the Second World War. During the Second World War the Cameroon soldiers created a slang for better communication between themselves from which Golden sounds mimicked the pace to come out with the arrangement Zangalewa.

The rhythm of Zangalewa and now Shakira's Zangalewa is a military rhythm that will prepare players of all nationalities against the football battle. It is the right song for a tournament because it encourages competition and a fighting spirit. The Cameroonian football team is lucky and proud of this heritage as it will symbolize and project the countries name during this tournament.This will also act as a moral booster to the team as they have never prepared for a competition as much as this.
Each world cup tournament has its own leading song, but Shakira's Zangalewa is a song with a difference for world 2010. It is a song written and chanted by a native African, and a song from Cameroon the leading football nation in Africa. A song being remade by one of the world's greatest singers will create an impact yet to be seen during this tournament.

Shakira Signs Off On SEAT Leon Compact At Geneva
At the 77th Geneva Motor Show, curves come aplenty. But no auto curves could beat the voluptuous woman behind the infectious "Hips Don't Lie" hit. Shakira took a time out to make a brief appearance in said auto show to personally sign off on SEAT's Leon Cupra.
Shakira was there in part because SEAT, the Spanish carmaker owned by Volkswagen AG, is sponsoring her current European tour. The gorgeous singer autographed a Leon Pies Descalzo, a model based on the SEAT's Leon Cupra, that was painted in metallic lilac. Shakira then was writing her name across the hood. The one-shot version of the Spanish carmaker uses the Volkswagen A platform and shares other components with the VW Golf, Audi A3 and the Skoda Octavia.
The autographed SEAT Leon Cupra will be given away at the Motor Show in June to a random winner picked from people who have donated $1.31 to Pies Descalzos Foundation. The said foundation is a Columbian non-governmental organization founded by Shakira. It is aimed at finding and providing opportunities for children who are victims of the violence experienced in Latin America. The said foundation originated in Barranquilla, a city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Nowadays, it is expanding to reach out different parts of the country. The goal of the foundation is to improve the education, nutrition, and the lives of the thousands of displaced children who are living in perilous conditions. So far, over $131,000 has been raised for the foundation.
Other stunners of this year's Geneva Motor Show include the Rinspeed eXasis, Dodge Demon and the Volvo XC70.
"Everyone who sees the eXasis for the first time raves about the glass car, but they actually mean our transparent high-tech plastic," said Ian Paterson of Bayer MaterialScience, the unit of Bayer AG that developed the material. "Many people only talk about innovation. We do it, in conjunction with our partners." Frank M. Rinderknecht, the designer of the car added, "In this ethereal transparency, the true spirit of the eXasis becomes visible. An abstract idea becomes material, visions become a tangible car. Yet the eXasis still doesn't seem to have quite arrived in our material world."
Dodge summoned the demon to boost its prestige and sales. The Dodge Demon looks stunningly charismatic and performs nothing less than pure power. The concept car attracted over 5,000 journalists who took part in the two-day press preview. The six-speed, 172-horsepower compact roadster with a 2.4-liter engine with 19-inch aluminum wheels and rear-wheel drive shows off superb potentials to make it big in the auto market.
The Volvo XC70, on the other hand, is an epitome of improved crossover appeal. It seems like the automaker laid Volvo cargo liner so as not to spill a clean and enhanced crossover formula. "Our successful XC range will soon be expanded with the new XC60. With three exciting XC models, we will cover even more of the growing number of car buyers who want the very best of two worlds - capable muscles and luxurious, comfortable passenger-car comfort. And it all began with the XC70, which has now become even more attractive than before," said Volvo Cars President and CEO Fredrik Arp.
Glady Reign is a 32 year old is a consultant for an automotive firm based in Detroit, Mi. she is a native of the motor city and grew up around cars hence her expertise in the automotive field.
