September Stars – 2017

By Maeri Frances

 

Goodbye to the lazy days of summer and hello to a return to routine and work. The action -packed energy of a Mars trine to Uranus on the 2nd of September will kick start the month in no uncertain terms. The 5th brings a bit of confusion, but just hang in there until the fog lifts. Observe rather than act and you will avoid unnecessary obstacles. Mercury turns back to direct motion then, it won’t be too long before you can pick up on stalled plans and forge ahead.

P.S. Don’t forget, your rising sign plays a big role, so check that out as well if you know it.

September  Birthdays:  Selma Hayek 2nd of September (actress), Keanu Reeves 2nd of September (actor), Beyonce Knowles 4th of September (singer), Idris Elba 6th September (actor),  Khaled El Nabawy 12th September (actor), Hisham Abbas 13th of September (singer), Tom Hardy 15th September (actor), Mustafa Amar 22nd of September (singer and composer), Serena Williams 26th of September (tennis player), Gwyneth Paltrow 27th of September (actress).

Our Birthday Sign:

Virgo:

Put your best foot forward as you start your birthday month. Decisions can be internal, you needn’t broadcast your intentions, but definitely by the 2nd you should be putting them into action. Results may not be apparent until after the 5th when your ruling planet Mercury turns direct, but be patient. After Mercury enters your birth sign on the 10th you should be able to express yourself eloquently, and ideas should be free-flowing. From the 20th you can successfully work on adding a bit of panache to your image, new shoes maybe?

Aries:

The energy flow on the second of September was made to measure for you. You will be brimming over with energy and enthusiasm, so make the most of it. There could be a few minor delays, but from the 5th things should start to speed up. Fire signs are well supported on the 13th; it is a day when your natural passion is stabilized in a positive way, especially in romantic issues.  The period up until the 18th is especially favorable for getting your love life sorted out, so make the most of it!

Taurus:

Even though your thoughts are very much on the pleasures of life, it will pay to keep an eye on career issues as well. But definitely you are in the mood for fun of all sorts, from hobbies, culture and good dining to sport and dancing. Children can be a source of inspiration, so try to learn a few life lessons from their time management decisions. Your mind should be sharp around the 22nd, and time with fellow earth signs Virgo and Capricorn will be well spent. The last week of the month is not so helpful; so try to tackle anything important before the 24th.

Gemini:

Use the 2nd for getting together with friends, or just simply networking. Ideas will come from all over the place, as well as the enthusiasm to make things a real action plan. Your key to success this month lies partly in how you organize yourself on the domestic front. Home and family matters should be as streamlined as possible to free up time for the other exciting stuff going on. If you are looking for a spot of romance make a note in your calendar to go somewhere special with someone special on the 13th.

Cancer:

The 2nd and 3rd are key dates for financial matters. It could mean an unexpected expense, or a financial opportunity that needs prompt action. The important thing is to deal with it when it arises. By the 15th you should be thankful that you handled things correctly. The 18th also brings good opportunities, and as the month draws to a close you should be feeling a lot more confident about your abilities.

Leo:

The mood during the first week is definitely energizing, and you should be in full leadership mode. If anyone can step in and take charge, it’s a Leo. It seems that changes need to be implemented, so there is a need to show more flexibility than you normally do. Not to offend you by saying you can sometimes be autocratic or stubborn, of course. From the 5th onwards you will possibly be focused on financial matters. Is there a sweet deal you are getting involved in, or are you just trying the raise cash to pay for the latest electricity bill?

Libra:

Like it or not, romantic  matters seem to be subject to confusion and hidden agendas.  On the upside though, your friends should be a massive support, so spend time in their company rather than  brooding and fretting by yourself. Indecision is your worst enemy at times like this, so be willing to look facts clearly in the eye and take necessary action. By the last week of the month you should be able to see things a lot more clearly and feel that you are back on the right track. The 27th in particular could be a day to remember.

Scorpio:

Don’t get caught snoozing as September kicks off. It will open with everyone up and running, so even if you consider yourself still on holiday, use social activities to network. You may rub up against someone who seem a bit bombastic, just keep your usual cool and see what information they divulge that might come in handy. Things will pick up quickly after Mercury turns direct on the 5th of September, be ready to get down to business, or back to your usual routine as efficiently as possible.

Sagittarius:

Far-flung destinations and changes in your career path are a possibility this month. Be prepared for whatever comes your way, you need to look on the bright side even though there could be some initial challenges. People from outside your usual milieu could be surprisingly friendly and supportive, so embrace any help with open arms. The way you communicate, both in person and in writing, can make a massive difference in how your profile is seen in the public sphere, so choose your words carefully.

Capricorn:

Once you manage to sort out some burdensome financial issues, maybe bills that have accumulated, you should see your path clear to take a late season break somewhere out of town. There should be some great deals available and Capricorn is an expert at sniffing them out. Try to avoid actually travelling on the 24th; it is generally a frustrating day for everyone. Watch out for game-changing information that might come your way around the 22nd. Facts may come to light that put a whole new perspective on your plans.

Aquarius:

This is not a month when you feel like immersing yourself in the general buzz of activity. Maybe your batteries are a bit run down from all that summer partying? That’s not to say that you should throw in the towel, there is a lot you can achieve if you plan wisely. Handle any heated discussions during the first week as tactfully as possible, you don’t need to over-react. The 13th is a lovely day for setting relationships in general back on course. Be gracious and accept other people’s point of view as well, and you will feel a lot more comfortable.

Pisces:

Your best course of action this month will be to focus on getting your work routine organized and your health in order. Boring, you say? Be patient, it will pay off when you find yourself looking great, with your routine ticking along nicely, and with the time and energy to enjoy a great boost in personal relationships. Just wait until the month gets under way. Don’t be too sensitive around the 24th though, emotions may be running high and misunderstandings could occur.

El Kenz Revealed

Abbas Aboul Hassan Speaks Introspectively on Film and the Art of Living a Good Life                  

Actor, scriptwriter, designer, man of many facets and considerable depth, the often reclusive Abbas Aboul Hassan opened up recently to Cairo West Magazine about what drives him, what defines him, and his recent role in El Kenz (The Treasure).

On El Kenz and working with director Sherif Arafa

“Not much information has been leaked about the plot of this film. It is an epic, period film of grand proportions, and actually had to be cut into two parts. The story is by Sherif Arafa himself, with the script by Abdelrehim Kamal, and bridges four different eras, from Pharaonic times, through the Mameluke or Ottoman period, the 1930s and then on to the 1970s. I can’t give away the plot, but the 30s and 70s periods complement each other in that they have the same set of characters.

My role is during the Ottoman period, along with actors Mohamed Ramadan, Ruby, and other well-known names. This part is actually loosely based on an Egyptian folklore story, about Ali Zeeba, considered to be the ‘Robin Hood’ of the Middle East. I play the villain, and the father of Ruby. The storyline develops over 15 years, with the hero Ali Zeeba, played by Mohamed Ramadan, falling in love with the character played by Ruby. Of course, things get complicated!

There is such a large cast, with so many actors all working under the umbrella of one man, director Sherif Arafa. Many of the characters don’t meet in the movie, as it extends over so many eras. It was actually fun to inhabit a historical character in a period piece. The use of wigs, makeup and costumes actually makes it much easier to step into a totally different type of character.

I was very excited to work with Arafa again, it had been around 14 years since we worked together in a movie where I also played a villain. It was important to me that he could see how I have grown and evolved as an actor. He wanted to experiment with me, but I asked him to let me stay fresh and trust in my interpretation of the role and then see on set if he wanted to make any changes. I was flattered when he complimented me during the shoot, as he is a pragmatic person who expects everyone to do his/her job and does not give out praise lightly.

I had gone into the film more with a desire to enjoy it, rather than stressing out and being anxious. I felt that if I felt comfortable and enjoyed acting the role, that would transmit through to the audience. And this is what happened.

It is important to have a strong figure on set, like the captain of a ship. Someone who knows what he wants from the cast and crew, and how to get it. This makes it a pleasure to work with Arafa. I have also worked with other talented directors like Marwan Hamed and Daoud Abdel Sayed, who have confidence and the ability to express their vision. It makes a world of difference to work with strong-minded people who are not afraid to experiment or deal with other strong characters.

I am very excited about the launch of this movie, it has one of the biggest budgets in the Middle East and I hope it is the success it deserves to be.”

On working with Ghada Abdel Razek in Ard Gaw

“It was my first experience of working on a Ramadan series with 30 episodes, especially with a mega-star like Ghada Abdel Razek. It was my first time working as long and as hard with a group of actors and crew whom I didn’t initially know. As a professional actor you need to be able to work outside of your comfort zone.

On the first day of the shoot I had to go to Abdel Razek’s character’s home, to propose to her. I was with seven actors I didn’t know, with a producer, director and cinematographer I didn’t know, so it was rewarding that I was able to play the role well on the very first day. I think it was one of the times when I prepared for a character more than any other.

Acting is a cumulative work in terms of experience, you learn about the tools of acting and how you function as an actor; you discover the acting machine inside you. You need to be ‘in the moment’, even when working long hours in a difficult environment, on a hot set, for take after take. At the end of the day it is the best footage that you will be judged on. Nobody who sees it will realize how difficult it was, what you had to go through.

Abdel Razek is a hugely popular star, and very professional. By working so closely with her I actually managed to steal a few tips from her in acting techniques. You learn about lighting, about how to position yourself in front of the camera, a lot of technical points.”

On Acting vs. scriptwriting

“My heart was originally in writing, but then again, writing and acting are very similar. The actor plays a role; the writer, if he is a genuine writer, must create characters who have their own voice. To do this he must have lived and inhabited every character.

A lot of my hunger for acting has been fulfilled enormously through the writing process, and also as I am a loner by nature, it suited me more to write than to be on set with crowds of people and having to deal with many things. I would rather work on my own.”

On acting as a career

“When I first started acting I was amazed by the amount of time actors have to wait aimlessly for up to 16 hours until they are required to actually be on set for half an hour. The waiting was killing me.

In order to be an actor you have to love acting, and do nothing in life but acting. All the effort, all the work, and long hours. I wasn’t ready for that. It was only recently that I wanted to discover how far I could go as an actor, how I could develop my tools, my focus, span and become a more genuine actor.”

On fashion and venturing into business

“As a fashion designer I first worked for my mother, one of the all time great designers of women’s traditionally inspired costumes and galabeyas. I worked with her for 17 years, and I went on to utilize that experience and create my Fugoura line. But, because of the difficult times of the revolution and my having no head for business, I lost enough money in a 3-year span to drop the whole thing.”

On living to the full and self-actualization

“Balancing a life of acting, scriptwriting, dog-breeding and my other passions is not as difficult as you would think. A long time ago I overcame the cliché of thinking you have to be the best at whatever you do. It is more important to fully appreciate what you are doing and be true to yourself. Each element should affect your life, develop you and help you evolve to the next stage of who you are becoming. That is easy of course if you are single like me, and not carrying family responsibilities. I am concerned more with living and am not burdened by a need for real estate or material possessions. That does not make me happy, or feel complete. I am able to exercise my freedom and live my experience, the pleasure I get outweighs that.

Having more than a comfortable life, a good life with a roof over my head doesn’t interest me. I have friends who are extremely wealthy, even billionaires, and they are miserable. Money cannot guarantee happiness, and I believe that fulfillment must come from within. Your image of yourself must come from what is inside you, not what you see through other people’s eyes. I want to be able to look in the mirror every night and be happy with who I see. Any acts of courage are for myself, I am my own audience.”

9 Fitness Trainers Share Their Motivations

Sara Taha

Founder of My Fitness Egypt

Getting into a healthy routine can be quite challenging in the summer as we’re all on-the-go, with quick weekend getaways that inevitably happen.

And while working out in the heat can sometimes be overwhelming, all you need is a little reminder; that your practice is the daily gift you give to yourself.

Instead of thinking of exercise as a daily obligation, consider it as a way of connecting to your body. Your body listens, it responds, it believes you! Choose any form of movement that you enjoy. Do it with love and keep moving!

Ayman Hakky

Founder of The TriFactory

Training in extreme circumstances and in unfamiliar conditions is proven to strengthen your body and boost your performance. For this reason, it is recommended to step out of your comfort zone and diversify your training methods and locations, such as training on sand or in the heat. There’s no better place for than the beach in the North Coast during the summer season!

Nouni Saleh

Fitness instructor at “My Fitness” & National Team/ Gezira 1st team tennis coach

If you decide to exercise in Sahel, remember to monitor weather conditions, so try to prevent sun exposure from 11 am–2 pm and always put sunscreen on. Drink a lot of fluids before and after working out.

Give your body time to warm up properly before exercising by walking or jogging and some dynamic stretching and also give your body time to cool down after working out. Don’t force yourself to workout, just stay active and move around and most importantly enjoy your summer vacation!

“Be More… Move More”

Mourad Gaber

Head Coach and Co- Founder of CrossFit Engine 38

Summer is the best time of the year, no doubt about that. However, we cannot deny the tons of temptations that come with the package! Temptations of food that make you compromise on how you eat, or vacation laziness that makes it easier to say, “I will work out tomorrow” and then tomorrow comes after 2 months!

My advice to you is to keep it simple, quick and efficient. A well-programmed 20 minute high intensity workout will do the trick and it will always be easy to say, “It’s just 20 min, I will do it”. Keep it diversified with body weight and simple equipment like ropes! Use the outdoors and the scenery. Run, bike, swim and do short and intense workouts! Last but not least; our bodies are forgiving, if you are on vacation and felt like grabbing an unhealthy treat, go for it but with moderation and not every day! Moderation is key!

Stay hydrated and have a great summer!

Sherif Bendary

Head coach and founder of TWC. Kung Fu and Kickboxing world champion.

Summer is here, so spice up your weekend with a totally new experience and train by the beach as it has many mental and physical benefits – mind meditation, burns more calories, better oxygen intake, and good for your joints.

Kickboxing is one of the best high intensity cardio workouts you can ever practice as it releases all the negative energy, reduces stress, boosts confidence, improves coordination and burns mega calories. Imagine what “kickboxing by the beach” can do to your mind and body.

Enjoy your summer everyone and keep safe and healthy.

Sherif Nassar

Co-founder of Crossfit Hitters

I would highly suggest applying a good healthy lifestyle while in Sahel and avoid breaking your daily routine. Usually people sleep early and wake up early to go to work, but when they travel to Sahel they sleep late, wake up late, and eat junk food.

If you don’t want to fall behind on your progress so far, the most ideal scenario is to pack easy cooked meals during your weekend trips and make sure you don’t break your workout routine. At least try to make time to fit in very simple exercises or go for a 20-30 minute run every day.

Farida Nour

All you need is one hour a day to stay fit during the summer, especially with all the unhealthy food temptations out there. There are plenty of fitness classes, so let’s get motivated and workout together!

Download “MyFitnessPal “app to keep track of the calories you take in. And remember to stay well hydrated!

If you’re looking for a group therapy, fun class without even realizing you’re working out, join my Zumba® fitness class in Hacienda this month every Thursday from 8-9pm and Saturday from 12-1pm and for your little ones Zumba® kids every Friday from 12-1pm

Ali Ismail

Founder and Head Coach at Move Egypt

The biggest mistake people make is to stick to one kind of training, whether weightlifting, cardio training, or bodyweight training. They become fixated and believe that it is THE best way to train their bodies, but it’s not. We need to expose our body to infinite types of training and develop all our physical skills through a variety of exercises in order to achieve our optimum physical and fitness goal! So innovate, be creative with your training, and be eager to learn new things!

Mohamed Eid

Palm Hills Head Coach, BeFit Egypt

Well, it is very simple. Since everyone is on the go in the summer and is always traveling, pack your food instead of eating junk and processed food on your way. A high intensity 45-60 minute body weight workout at home including most of the functional movements like squats, lunges, push-ups and sit-ups can help you stay in shape. A 3-5 km jog every two days can burn those extra calories you’ve consumed on bad diet days.

Summer Time Vitamin D Levels

Sunlight makes you feel warm, happy and relaxed, but that’s not all the sun can do. Sunlight can be very beneficial for your health, as it is one of the main sources of Vitamin D, commonly known as the “sunshine vitamin”. From 80% to 90% of the body’s vitamin D is obtained through exposure to sunlight.

Is sunlight beneficial at all times?

Although sunlight is very beneficial to your body, it is not the case at all times. It is recommended to avoid the hottest time of the day and focus on the times before 11 am and after 4 pm, where it is safer to expose your skin and enrich yourself with the sunshine vitamin.

In these modern times, our lifestyle and work nature, which is mostly in air-conditioned, closed places. This makes it very hard to expose our bodies directly to the sun, which may be one of the causes of vitamin D deficiency.

Do you think you have low vitamin D levels?

Vitamin D deficiency is now a global public-health problem, where 70% – 80% of the world population is at risk of Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamins are considered essential nutrients to your body but you can suffer from vitamin deficiency either because your body cannot make them or they are made in an inadequate amount. This means you must provide them through your lifestyle, diet or through supplements.

The most common signs of vitamin D deficiency:

Chronic pain (bone and muscles): It is often subtle, but some people experience aches and pains in their bones, known as Osteomalacia. If your discomfort lasts for several weeks. You should ask your doctor to check your Vitamin D levels.

Excessive sweating: If you’re “glowing” while your activity level remains steady, your temperature is close to 37°C and you’re in a moderate temperature environment, you may want to consider a vitamin D test.

Unexpected weakness:  Feeling overly exhausted, even when you get enough sleep. A proper vitamin D intake helps you maintain power in every fiber of your being, whether you’re young or old.

Broken bones: Normally a person stops building bone mass around the age of 30, and lack of vitamin D can speed up or worsen osteoporosis symptoms.

How can you increase your vitamin D levels?

There are three main sources for vitamin D that can help elevate your vitamin D levels:

  1. Sun rays
  2. Few types of foods tuna, salmon, fish liver oil
  3. Vitamin D supplements

It is important to have sufficient levels of vitamin D in your blood, but in case you find your vitamin D levels insufficient, don’t worry, it can be easily managed by taking it through the different sources we mentioned and through continuous blood level monitoring. Since it is summertime, you have a very good chance of increasing your vitamin D levels just by enjoying your time in the sun with your friends and family. Sometimes the best treatment is having a healthy and happy lifestyle.
