Editorial “You cannot tell a hungry child that you gave him food yesterday.” ~Zimbabwean Proverb Dear Friends,

Ghartey. May Auntie Gloria continue to enjoy excellent health, joy and peace for many years to come. The birthday party put together by her daughter Ekua was simply wonderful. Congratulations to her and of course to all those who made a point to come and show Auntie Gloria a wealth of love and affection. It is a truism that everyone has something to say. Here at ENJOY we decided to canvas the views of the students of Accra on selected topics, and what better place to start than with the students of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, to explore their views on the topic of “Celebrities”. Their thoughts certainly make for interesting reading. Our star of the month is Miss Ama Sika Asante, creator of Ani Siyah and chief designer of the handbags that she sells. These gorgeous creations featured recently on the runways at the African Fashion Week New York that was held in July. We wish her continued success as she looks at expanding her accessories range. Some 15 years ago, Ghana International Women’s Club built the Berekusu Day Care Centre for children in the Eastern Region. They continue to support this project today and hold an annual event to raise funds. This year they held a garden party at the Accra Polo Club. I say Ayekoo to the generous sponsors who supported their efforts. Rejoice, Christmas is just around the corner. It’s time again for sharing more love, happiness and gifts. Why not think of chocolates during this festive period. Believe me, you will be making the right choice. Enjoy!!! Don’t forget you can also read the magazine online at: www.enjoyaccra.com

ENJOY ABOUT FERRERO This Italian multinational group and global leader in the confectionary industry was founded in Alba, a small town in the Piedmont region of Italy, in 1946 by Pietro Ferrero. Ferrero is responsible for legendary brands such as Ferrero Rocher, the golden wrapped chocolate praline; Nutella, the unique hazelnut cocoa spread offered in a glass jar; Kinder Joy, the milk chocolate treat made for children, with a toy surprise inside and Tic Tac, the inimitable mint pill offered in a stylish plastic pack, In 1957 Michele Ferrero, son of the founder, took over the company and started a process of internationalization, transforming this small Italian company into a multinational global group. Ferrero identifies with the motto: “Work, Create, Donate”. This idea was conceived and introduced by Michele Ferrero at the very beginning of his business pursuits. In essence Ferrero favours the “ethics of doing” over the “practice of appearing”.

FERRERO MISSION High quality, crafted precision, product freshness, careful selection of the finest raw materials, respect and consideration for our customers: these are the “key words” and core values that have resulted in Ferrero confectionery being loved by millions of consumers all over the world. Its products are the result of innovative ideas, and are therefore often inimitable, despite being widely distributed. They have become part of the collective memory and customs of many countries, where they are considered true cultural icons. Today Ferrero products are “global”, in that they are sold everywhere. Ferrero is the 4th largest confectionery group in the world. 12 | November 2014 ENJOY No 94

FERRERO IN GHANA Recently Ferrero began investing in West Africa, with a particular focus on Ghana. The Ferrero’s distinguishing approach is based on its “global” vocation - “think globally, act locally” - which focuses on international development, without losing sight of its relationship with local communities. The consumer is always at the centre of Ferrero’s strategy. Ferrero’s relationship with its consumers is based on longstanding and mutual trust, built up over the years with expertise, experience, understanding and intuition. In 2013, to develop this strategic approach Ferrero signed an exclusive import and distribution agreement with Pens & Plastics Ghana Ltd. the FMCG division of CFAO Group, covering Ghana, Togo & Benin. Deployment began in August 2014. e

November in History .........November 1, 1995 The first all-race local government elections took place in South Africa, marking the end of the apartheid system.

.........November 3, 1957

Soviet Russia launched the world’s first inhabited space capsule, Sputnik II, which carried a dog named Laika.

It Is the Month of Origin: This month again, there is a need to distinguish between the early ten-month Roman calendar in which the ninth month was named November — from the Latin word novem, meaning “nine”, and the Julian and Gregorian Calendars featuring January and February, the two ‘new’ months added much later. When Emperor Julius Caesar changed the calendar in 46 BC, November retained its name although the month moved to the 11th position. e

.........November 6, 1429

Henry VI was crowned King of England at age eight. He had acceded to the throne at the age of nine months following the death of Charles VI.

.........November 9, 1989 Fall of the Berlin Wall. It took about three decades until one of the most powerful symbols of the Cold War, the infamous Berlin Wall built in 1961, was torn down. The escape attempts claimed the lives of a wide variety of people, from a child as young as one to an 80-year-old woman.

.........November 29, 1947 Palestine was partitioned into Jewish and Arab land by the U.N. General Assembly, resulting in the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel the following year.

Honouring November with a Poem “The falling leaves drift by the window The autumn leaves of red and gold.... I see your lips, the summer kisses The sunburned hands, I used to hold Since you went away, the days grow long And soon I’ll hear ol’ winter’s song. But I miss you most of all my darling,

About November In Old English, November was called ‘Windmonath’ (wind month) or ‘Blotmonath’ (blood or sacrifice month). The Dutch called it ‘slachtmaand’ (slaughter month); in Welsh it is ‘Tachwedd’, also meaning ‘slaughter’ referring to the killing of animals. November was the month that animals were slaughtered for sound agricultural reasons. In the late autumn or early winter in north-western Europe, the supply of food available for cattle would fall dramatically due to the excessive cold weather making the grass stop growing. Thus the number of cattle that could be kept in good health over winter would be limited so rather than let animals starve slowly to death, it would make sense to kill them while they were still in good condition. Some of the meat could be eaten fresh and the rest salted, smoked or dried to be eaten over winter. e

When autumn leaves start to fall. “ - Johnny Mercer, lyrics, Autumn Leaves 20 | November 2014 ENJOY No 94

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why”.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value”.

A few days ago I landed at the Bombay Airport (India) and took a cab to my scheduled destination in South Bombay. I was enjoying the busy traffic with people rushing in all possible directions, when we got stranded at a very busy intersection. As we waited for the signal to turn green, my eyes met up with a poor young boy, about 12 years old. He removed a piece of bread from his pocket and took a bite. As he was about to take his next bite, a stray dog wagged his tail looking at him. Without hesitation, he sat down and put the bread on the road for the dog to eat. The dog sniffed the bread and walked away. The boy waited until he was sure the dog was gone then he picked up the bread and ate it! My heart cried and I wanted to walk up to the boy but before I could open the door, the signal turned green and our car drove away. I kept thinking about the boy and later during my evening meal, I realized that I was thinking of approaching the boy but never did: I could have stopped the car and walked up to him, which again I never did. All I did was “thinking” and this poor little boy who had only one piece of bread without any hesitation shared it with the dog, though he himself seemed to be very hungry. I learnt one of the biggest lessons in my life, which that boy taught me without a conversation. He taught me to share with love and happiness. I am so blessed to have learnt this beautiful lesson from my ‘little unknown master’. It is my moral duty to share this incident with all my friends across the globe and be blessed with happiness. Thank you, friends, for making this world a beautiful place to dwell. e Author Unknown

• Babies cry during the night to prevent their parents from making love and for that matter having another child. A study by Professor David Haig of Harvard University says they are biologically programmed to do so. This behaviour also triggers breastfeeding at night, causing the extension of amenorrhea or infertility of the mother during the period of lactation.

HINDUS CELEBRATE DIWALI IN ACCRA

indus in Accra and elsewhere in Ghana observed the 2014 traditional Diwali Festival from 22nd to 25th October 2014.

The 24th October was all about joy, laughter, merriment, gambling, Hindu music and dancing into the night. The food was spicy and superb and exquisite drinks were available in abundance. The venue for the celebration was Caesarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casino in Accra.

Diwali is the biggest of all Hindu festivals. It is the festival of lights marked by four days of celebration. In ancient India, it was an important harvest festival. Though stories about its origin differ slightly from source to source, what is definitely true is that the festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Throughout the four days of the celebration, Indian homes are lavishly lit and fireworks set off paying obeisance to the heavens and expressing gratitude for health, affluence and peace.

Short StorY » The Ant and the Grasshopper

n a field one summer’s day a grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An ant passed by struggling with an ear of corn he was taking to his anthill.

“Why not come and chat with me,” said the grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling away?” “I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the ant, “and recommend that you to do the same.” “Why bother about winter?” said the grasshopper; “we have got plenty of food at present.” But the ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the grasshopper found himself dying of hunger, whilst it watched the ants distributing, corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew.. MORAL: WORK TODAY AND YOU CAN REAP THE BENEFITS TOMORROW!

Ingrown Toenails “If an ingrown nail causes a break in the skin, bacteria may enter and cause an infection in the area, which is often marked by drainage and a foul odor.”

What Is an Ingrown Toenail?

hen a toenail is ingrown, it is curved and grows into the skin, usually at the nail borders (the sides of the nail).

Ingrown Toenails treatment

“Ingrown toenails can result from wearing socks and shoes that are tight or short.”

http://www.foothealthfacts.org

Avoid attempting “bathroom surgery.” Repeated cutting of the nail can cause the condition to worsen over time. If your symptoms fail to improve, it’s time to see a foot and ankle surgeon. Physician care: After examining the toe, the foot and ankle surgeon will select the treatment best suited for you. If an infection is present, an oral antibiotic may be prescribed. Sometimes a minor surgical procedure, often performed in the office, will ease the pain and remove the offending nail. After applying a local anesthetic, the doctor removes part of the nail’s side border. Some nails may become ingrown again, requiring removal of the nail root.

Following the nail procedure, a light bandage will be applied. Most people experience very little pain after surgery and may resume normal activity the next day. If your surgeon has prescribed an oral antibiotic, be sure to take all the medication, even if your symptoms have improved. Preventing Ingrown Toenails Many cases of ingrown toenails may be prevented by: Proper trimming. Cut toenails in a fairly straight line, and don’t cut them too short. You should be able to get your fingernail under the sides and end of the nail. Well-fitted shoes and socks. Don’t wear shoes that are short or tight in the toe area. Avoid shoes that are loose, because they too cause pressure on the toes, especially when running or walking briskly. e

Taurus 21/4-21/05

November is a month in which the focus shifts considerably away from your personal concerns and towards the needs of your close relationships and partnerships, dear Taurus. Cooperating seems the best option in terms of overall happiness and success. There may be times when a partnership or relationship is tested this month - when you have to face certain realities and take mature action. Strong alliances can be strengthened, while relationships that have run their course may lose favor. Circumstances at times can bring out the more unflattering side of people close to you, or at least you’re seeing things in this light. However, at other times, the opposite occurs - you can see the support and effort coming in. As a result, you can have tough decisions to make. A personal revelation can occur around the Full Moon on the 6th.

Gemini 22/5-21/06

This is a strong month for focusing on tightening up any health, fitness, and self-care habits or programs, dear Gemini. Events and circumstances this month tend to point you in the direction of taking better care of yourself. Saturn’s emphasis on the body this month can suggest that paying more attention to the body can balance out mind/body health. It’s also a time for becoming more structured in your work and daily routines. This seems to be an important key to fulfillment at this point in your life. Tidying up work routines and efficiency can be in focus now. You might come to the realization that you are not using your talents to their full potential in what you are currently doing, and increasing efficiency in the routine elements of your life may be the solution, as it can free you up to use your talents more often or more fully.

Cancer 22/6-23/07

There is a strong focus on your creative and/or romantic life in November, dear Cancer, although there can be some rough patches to get through. Recreation, hobbies, pleasurable pastimes, artistic pursuits, and love/ dating are areas of increased activity, but also of some scrutiny. There can be important realizations and increased awareness of, and frustration with, situations that have prevented you from enjoying yourself or expressing yourself spontaneously and freely in these areas. Your social life is changing, and emotions surrounding love and friendship are strong, especially around the Full Moon on the 6th.

Leo 24/7-23/08 There continues to be a strong focus on your home and family life, as well as your support system this month, dear Leo. Old family problems might resurface in need of attention, mature action, and leadership. A personal matter might weigh heavily on you at times in November with Venus, the Sun, and Mercury connecting to Saturn and turning your attention to building your nest and to problem areas that require serious consideration. A career or reputation matter can emerge suddenly around the 6th. Recently, you may have been experiencing confusion about boundaries with others - what you own, what others own, what you owe, and what others owe - as well as with your own personal limits. Virgo 24/8-23/09

The recent Solar Eclipse may have brought your attention to the need to make changes in how and what you communicate, dear Virgo. This month, there can be a lot coming in, many things to do, and a generally quick pace. Your sign is known to be detail-oriented, but this month you can be so busy that it’s easy to miss important information. You may need to face the reality of certain projects and interests, or even courses of study, coming to an end. This could involve taking a hard look at your daily activities and deciding what might be bringing you down or preventing you from growing and devoting time new, more stimulating activities. to

Libra 24/9-23/10 November is a good month for taking care of business, tending to practical affairs, and devoting some time to finances, dear Libra. You may need to get serious about money. There can be a wake-up call, of sorts, that pushes you to make important changes, but avoid snap decisions, even if you’re feeling a lot of pressure. Be diligent, mature, and cautious. Slow and steady wins the race in November. Delays or apparent slowdowns are possible. Recently, you may have succumbed and possibly even submitted to a feeling of being overwhelmed by your daily routines, work, or health, feeling at a loss as to how to catch up. With Neptune turning direct this month, you get insight into how to straighten at least some things out.

Capricorn 22/12-20/01 There can be a pressing need to reassess your long-term goals this month,and reminders (as well as favorable periods) for doing so can emerge around the 12th,and 25th. There can be reality checks to manage as new information sheds light on the more impractical elements of your current plans. There could also be issues with friends, associates, or group associations that involve limitations or life lessons. There may be the need to do some level of conforming in order to benefit from others’ input. From mid-month, you’ll begin to see communications improve (there is more clarity in terms of what you want to convey), and faith returning regarding certain projects, learning endeavors, and mental pursuits and interests.

Scorpio 24/10-22/11 While it’s your month to shine, dear Scorpio, it’s also a time when you may need to get serious, or might be asked to prove yourself. Manage that pressure well, and it’s a strong month for personal influence, general vitality, and happiness. The first three days of November are super for personal appeal. You are especially magnetic when it comes to sharing ideas, reaching out, and communicating. Close partnerships can be emotionally charged, particularly around the 6th. The pace is quick when it comes to learning environments, communications, and daily life.

Aquarius 21/01-19/02 There can be some slowdowns, reality checks, or break in momentum occurring in your professional life, dear Aquarius, but it’s also a time when you can really get back on track and organized. While things may not be moving forward very quickly, you can be gaining important ground in less obvious ways, such as by gaining respect from people you work for and with or developing new skills that will benefit you in the future. For some of you, there can be a need to restructure.

Sagittarius 23/11-21/12

There is much activity in your sector of beliefs, adventure, and ideals this month, dear Pisces, and you are encouraged to bring more of the world into your personal life. You could be enjoying new interests and thinking about your plans in a big-picture way. There can be some forgetfulness or moments of feeling quite scattered, but Saturn weaves in and out of the picture this month, reminding you of your limits. There can be quite a bit of temptation to bend the rules, but when it comes to educational or legal matters, it’s best to take traditional routes. This is a good time for work on structuring your leisure time. Take every opportunity to learn | 43 ENJOY you No 94can November 2014new skills or develop your current ones.

The first few weeks of November can be a rather private, contemplative, and possibly withdrawn time for you, dear Sagittarius. You could be dealing with a lot behind the scenes, and possibly some challenges you’ve chosen to keep under wraps. Events can be such that you seek and get closure on various matters. In fact, this is the last Sun transit of your solar twelfth house that you’ll experience while Saturn’s still transiting this same house this time around, so you’re likely to be doing a lot of “tidying” on an emotional and spiritual level. You could be dealing with personal limitations stemming from your serviceoriented responsibilities to others.

Interview by Juanito Mario

elebrities are all over the place nowadays. Sadly it seems people will do whatever it takes for them to be tagged ‘a celebrity’ and then court the limelight when the spotlights are not sufficiently turned on them.

We hear from and about ‘celebrities’ all the time. They are said to be in the media, sports, entertainment industry, academia, civil society, etc. But… celebrities? Who is a celebrity, in the first place? What makes one a celebrity? Have we, in Ghana and elsewhere in the world, gotten the celebrity concept right? ENJOY just wanted to know. Here are the strong views of some 200 students from the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ), the future shapers of public opinion, sampled right there on their Osu campus. e

“While the former strives for direct positive impact on people’s lives, the latter just does what he/she is supposed to do and that is all.” Albertine avers that one is not a celebrity unless they are accepted as such by all and sundry. Also, “I distinguish between a celebrity and a public figure. While the former strives for direct positive impact on people’s lives, the latter just does what he/ she is supposed to do and that is all. Like the ministers of State for example. They are just public figures! Whether they do their job well does not change anything. That does not make them celebrities”. e

Albertine Geraldo

“We have this notion that when someone is known and seen by all, they become a celebrity.” Alfred would not understand why anybody should be called a ‘celebrity’ when they have not done anything to be celebrated for. The impact of the person in society is what makes them a celebrity. “We have this notion that when someone is known and seen by all, they become a celebrity. But what have you done to change the face of humanity? Nelson Mandela, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah are celebrities. Not just somebody who makes some music, and the music is even not sensible… Please I beg to differ!” e 44 | November 2014 ENJOY No 94

“Seriously, the rappers, the actors and all the rest, how are they celebrities? What should we celebrate them for.”

“But please, let’s not mistake public figures for celebrities.”

Mercy would call the person who imparts some particular knowledge or a particular way of life to her a celebrity. “My mum is a celebrity to me, because I have cause to celebrate her. Usually, television and radio personalities would call themselves celebrities. And the public too adds to the confusion by seeing them as celebrities. But seriously, the rappers, the actors and all the rest, how are they celebrities? What should we celebrate them for?” e

According to Mama, a celebrity is someone she would want to celebrate for their achievement. “Yes, we see people on television, in the press, we recognize them. But please, let’s not mistake public figures for celebrities. My celebrity is someone I would look up to. It is something personal. People should stop carrying themselves as celebrities”. e

Esther Amoafo

“Footballers, politicians, media people can be seen as celebrities.” Esther has quite a different view. For her, you are a celebrity because you are popular, you have the fame and all the attention. “Somebody can be a celebrity to anybody else but not to me necessarily. I look at the crowd you pull and how high the general public rates you. Footballers, politicians, media people can be seen as celebrities.” e

Maame Agyarkoah Boateng

Maame Agyarkoah thinks “a celebrity is someone who should be celebrated based on his or her achievement in society, in the country. They who have had no social, no positive impact on the society ought not to be called a celebrity. Television presenters, radio broadcasters, newsreaders are public figures. So are recording artists, actors, footballers… A celebrity does not beg for attention. But they catch the admiration of everybody”. e ENJOY No 94 November 2014 | 45

Gifty Antwi Obaa

Gifty talks of “societal impact”. She explains: “Being known in the media landscape for whatever you do makes you a public figure, not necessarily a celebrity. You become a celebrity when your deeds, your positive deeds, contribute to the betterment of the society. A celebrity can be a public figure, but a public figure is not always a celebrity the way we need them”. e

Hilda Daboh Sarpong

In Hilda’s opinion, a celebrity is not “just anybody who walks around trying to impose himself or herself as a celebrity”. She says: “When someone has imparted something to the society, when their achievement is long-lasting and even outlives them, then I would say the person is a celebrity. When you exploit your fame, your money, all that makes you a public figure, not a celebrity. Anybody can be a public figure. Not everybody is a celebrity.” e

“When you exploit your fame, your money, all that makes you a public figure, not a celebrity.”

Jennifer has this to say: “The celebrity must have a brand everybody knows. This can be in the form of symbol, their way of dressing, sometimes the words used in their songs. The celebrity issue is rather a subjective one”. e

Fante Fante

Ingredients • 1lb Tilapia loins (this came out to five pieces which I cut into two pieces each) • 2 Tbsp palm oil • 2 Tbsp olive oil • 1 large onion (diced) • 1 Maggi cube or bullion cube • 1 tsp cayenne pepper powder • 1 6oz can of tomato paste • 2 14oz cans of diced tomatoes • 1 tsp anise seed • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger • 2 tsp salt (divided) • 1/2 cup cut okra (optional)

Directions: Put fish in a bowl and season with 1 tsp salt and set aside. Combine tomatoes, anise seed and ginger in a blender till smooth. Heat both oils in a pan and add onions. Saute till onions are clear. Add in cayenne pepper, cube, and tomato paste. Let this simmer for 5 minutes and then add blended tomato mix and remaining salt. Stir and turn heat to medium low. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Carefully drop the pieces of fish into the sauce. Turn heat down to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Stir from time to time very gently to prevent crumbling the fish. Remove from heat. This sauce often goes with Banku but is also delicious over rice or boiled yam.

The Parenting Reality: A Blueprint A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. —Henry Brooks Adams “Great teachers focus on what the student is saying or doing, and are able, by being so focused and by their deep knowledge of the subject matter, to see and recognize the inarticulate stumbling, fumbling effort of the student who’s reaching toward mastery, and then connect to them with a targeted message.” I couldn’t agree more with Daniel Coyle, author of the Talent Code, a book that ALL parents must read. As parents, we are the first ‘teachers’ of our children. They learn many things from us parents: mores, mannerisms, behaviour, attitude, faith, etc.; however one salient ingredient they learn is to value themselves in the world. John Wooten, the most acclaimed college basketball coach in history said, “I am not going to treat you players all the same. Giving you the same treatment doesn’t make sense, because you’re all different. The good Lord, in his infinite wisdom, did not make us all the same. For that reason, each one of you deserves individual treatment that is best for you. I will decide what that treatment will be.” As a teacher I definitely understand that you must treat every child fairly but maybe not equally as in the sense of interests and ability.

As parents we may not want to admit openly to our children that we treat them differently or we may want to treat them differently because of their uniqueness and physical/emotional needs. However, the praise of effort or praising effort enough is crucial in a child’s development, it creates value for self. Professor Dweck is a social psychologist at Stanford University says, “when we praise children for their intelligence, we tell them that’s the name of the game: look smart, don’t risk making mistakes.” In a study conducted by Dweck, there were two groups of students – the “praised-for-effort group” and the “praised-for-intelligence group” – their responses were very different to the situation. “(The effort group) dug in and grew very involved with the test, trying solutions, testing strategies,” Dweck said. “They later said they liked it. But the group praised for intelligence hated the harder test. They took it as proof they weren’t smart.” The experiment then came full circle, returning to a test of the same difficulty as the initial test. The praised-for-effort group improved their initial score by 30 per cent, while the praised-for-

intelligence group’s score declined by 20 per cent. All because of six short letters...effort. Dweck was so surprised at the result that she reran the study five times. Each time the result was the same. True to the findings of Dweck’s study, progressive schools and homes I visited over the years used language that affirmed the value of effort and slow progress rather than innate talent or intelligence. e

“Great teachers focus on what the student is saying or doing, and are able, by being so focused and by their deep knowledge of the subject matter, to see and recognize the inarticulate stumbling, fumbling effort of the student who’s reaching toward mastery, and then connect to them with a targeted message.”
