Add statement light   Just because your dining room is on the cozier side doesn't mean you have to skip on a bold sconce.

Start with black and white as your base The always-in-style combo acts as a great starting palette. From there, pop in playful accents like green and yellow Take it outside.

Wimbledon 2017: Garbine Muguruza Defeat's Venus Williams in women's final

Image
We have been living in an era where age has appeared to be no barrier to success, but youth had its day here on Centre Court as Garbine Muguruza ended Venus Williams’ hopes of becoming the oldest women’s Wimbledon champion in the Open era. The meeting of the 23-year-old Spaniard and the 37-year-old American had been expected to be a tight battle between two ferocious ball-strikers, but after a tense first set the match became a brutally one-sided contest as Muguruza won 7-5, 6-0 in just 77 minutes. In an extraordinary turnaround in fortunes, Muguruza saved two set points at 4-5 in the first set and then won nine games in a row to claim her first Wimbledon title, two years after losing to Williams’ sister, Serena, in her first Grand Slam final. She is the first player to have beaten both sisters in Grand Slam finals. Muguruza, who went on to win her first Grand Slam title at last year’s French Open, proved again that she is a player for the big occasion. The world No 15, w...

Why Cristiano Ronaldo is hated by many and loved by more

Image
By Michael Hlophe, in South Africa Special to USAfrica multimedia networks (Houston) and USAfricaonline.com @USAfricaLive Hated by many, loved by more, but respected by all. This is normally the case for all the individuals that perform at the highest level. I have always felt that CR7 has had to prove himself more than most athletes. He is on fire as an exceptional athlete, but gets burnt by haters more often than not. Any individuals that feel that he deserves no respect should google his accolades and use YouTube as a reference of his abilities. Football lovers are aware that Ronaldo is a goal scoring machine and the most influential player for Portugal and Real Madrid. The same could be said about him in his time as a Manchester Uniteed footballer. He has won everything there is to win (except for a FIFA World Cup gold medal) at club and national level. He is labeled selfish when he outscores his counterparts such as Lionel Messi. When the likes of Luis Suarez outscor...

Over The Counter (OTC) Drugs The New Craze Among Youths - Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, Former DG NDLEA

Image
When we watch foreign movies and television shows and see young people abroad using hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, we can’t help but be grateful that our children are not gone that way. Despite being labeled as one of the top drug peddlers across the world, Nigeria remains one of the lowest when it comes to cocaine and heroin usage. The common argument is that these drugs are too expensive and far away from our youths’ reach. Also, we believe that our strict moral and religious teachings have kept our youths safe from drugs and only a few ‘wayward’ kids and transport operators are into the habit. This, according to new reports, is a wrong notion. We are quick to equate hard drugs with cocaine and heroin. Meanwhile, your child may be high on hard drugs right now without you knowing it, yet they appear not to have ever touched any of those drugs. The former Director General, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, pointed out that “40 per cent of our y...

Batshuayi nets twice as Chelsea ease past Arsenal

Image
Michy Batshuayi scored twice as Chelsea hammered Arsenal 3-0 at the Bird’s Nest stadium on Saturday in a Chinese edition of the London derby. Batshuayi doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 42nd minute and then curled in a long-range effort shortly after the break to show new signing Alvaro Morata that he intends to fight for the main striker’s role next season. Chelsea outclassed a tired-looking Arsenal side throughout this preseason friendly and had taken the lead through Willian in the 40th minute, with Batshuayi getting the second less than two minutes later. Arsenal may blame tired legs for this defeat as it was the last of four games they have played on a two-week tour of Australia and China, while Chelsea were playing their first match of their preseason trip to Asia. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte also played arguably his strongest possible lineup, while Arsene Wenger started academy prospects Cohen Bramall and Ainsley Maitland-Niles and made mass changes at half-time.
