Dear Friends, Summer holidays 2016 have come and gone, and this is the time of the year when we have to reconnect to our daily routine.

I trust you have been able to replenish your energy and that any battle ahead of you, parents and students, businesspeople and industrialists, civil servants and politicians, public and private sector workers, farmers and religious leaders, will be tackled with composure, confidence and stamina towards great successes.

That is our wish for each and every one of us.

More specifically, we wish good luck and prosperous academic year to all pupils and students of Ghana. May their teachers and lecturers have lots of courage, dedication and patience in order to achieve the noble goal of grooming purposeful leaders of tomorrow!

Talking of leaders, we are proud to feature this month the ‘Young Six’, six Ghanaian students currently studying in various universities over the world, but who, in lieu of revelling their time off during this summer holidays, chose to take steps to conscientise their fellow students on the need for the youth to get involved in nation building. They have organised the ‘Ghana Youth Conference’, with the support of resourceful public figures of this country.

We believe they deserve the support of the entire body politic, including Corporate Ghana and academia.

We say “Congratulations” to all twelve (12) laureates of the Lifetime African Achievement Prize (LAAP) 2016 under the umbrella of the Millennium Excellence Foundation (MEF). We trust that in our quest to raise standards on the continent towards the betterment of our living conditions, they will be source of inspiration to many young Ghanaians and Africans as a whole.

We attended two Independence Day receptions recently organised by Diplomatic Missions accredited to Ghana: the Embassy of the Royal Kingdom of Morocco and that of the Federative Republic of Brazil.

It was refreshing listening to the Heads of Missions talking with passion of the relations of their countries with Ghana, and finding so many points of convergence in various areas between home and the host country. We bring you photographic highlights from those events.

Our in-house psychotherapist, Billie Richardson, is still on standby to give you useful keys to solving your thorny issues. Check her column, which continues to make for good reading. Also check our other regular pages, and don’t forget to let us know what you think of our new-look website.

Peduase Valley Resort

Located at Ankama Close, Peduase, Aburi, Peduase Valley Resort, currently one of the leading 4-star hotels in Ghana, expressed its deep gratitude to Ghanaians, residents of Ghana and its customers for embracing it and making it one of the preferred resorts in the country and the sub-region, though its relatively young. It also reiterated its commitment to keep on offering world class service and experience to clients who visit it to "Live, Love the Breeze" in Aburi valley.

Managing Director, Hussein Fakhry, said, "we are grateful to all our guests from inside and outside Ghana for embracing us and making us one of the fastest growing 4-stars resort in the country. We remain committed to providing you outstanding services and an unparalleled experience which will meet, if not outrun, our clients’ expectations."

According to Mr. Fakhry, "many of our clientele told us that they never believed they could ever find such high standards in this part of the world, but, what seems to amaze them is the mainstream way of life at Peduase Valley Resort."

"We will not drift away and rest on our laurels because Ghanaians have accepted us and revealed their satisfaction. We will rather partake more in the media, connect with influencers and other relevant stakeholders, as well as expand our reach to enable more and more people not only from Ghana, but mostly from outside the country to experience our exceptional services", he added.

Launched on May 25, 2016, Peduase Valley Resort comprises 2 restaurants, 2 bars/lounges, 38 guestrooms, outdoor pool, rooftop terrace, health club, Spa services, business center, airport shuttle, daily housekeeping, etc. It also provides free hot/cold buffet breakfast, free WiFi, and free parking.

Back To School

school news

Are You Ready ?

chools have now resumed for the 2016-2017 academic year. In all honesty, this is not always an easy period for either parents, pupils/students or teachers.

Most often, ‘back to school’ is a delicate moment to live, yet it is full of promises, especially for school children.

Here are some steps for all students towards making the best of the new academic year.

• Restore sleep: the idea here is to do away with the shortened or prolonged sleep hours which characterised the holidays. Students need to adopt regular sleep hours in order to allow brain and body to regenerate.

• Respect the ritual of breakfast: it is all about taking religiously the first meal of the day, which, we are told, should cover about 20% of the body’s daily needs.

• Slow down on TV watching: the issue is not to ban television, but to measure its use. An ideal situation could be to proscribe it on weekdays and even to pare down on it during weekends.

• Sport to feel better: since business has resumed, why not avoid getting breathless when climbing the steps, fighting for the bus or carrying satchels or backpacks? Here is where it is better to reconnect with sport, considering that not only does sport promote muscle-building, but also helps combat stress, anxiety and depression. In any case, sport makes you feel better.

• Do not entertain stress! This one is mainly for parents, guardians and big brothers/ sisters. All ought to understand that school reopening is synonymous with separation for many children, a moment which is not easy to grasp. So there is absolutely no need to add stress to stress, i.e. no reference to the constraints of the school, to the severity of the teachers, etc. That would be useless pressure. It is highly advisable to hold a reassuring speech emphasizing the novelty, the new friends in the offing for instance...

At the same time, no need to fall into the opposite extreme and describe the school as the Place (with capital P), lest the child be unnecessarily disappointed.

Happy 2016-2017 academic year to all! e

Moroccan ‘Day of the Throne’ Commemorated in Accra

er Excellency Madam Nezha Alaoui M’Hammdi, Ambassador of the Royal Kingdom of Morocco to Ghana, has stated that “development, peace, stability and security in Africa” constitute priority areas of cooperation for her country.

Ambassador M’Hammdi was delivering a speech at her residency on 30th July 2016, on the occasion of a reception hosted to commemorate the Day of the Throne, a National Day in Morocco marking this year the 17th Anniversary of the ascension to the throne of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. She described the model of South-South cooperation being pursued by Morocco as “unique, authentic and tangible”, which ranges beyond traditional areas of training and technical assistance into those of food security and infrastructure development.

She reiterated the “unshakable faith” the Kingdom has in the continent, and rightly quoted these prophetic words by late King Hassan II to the 20th OAU Summit close to 32 years ago: “Morocco is an African nation and it always will be. And all of us, Moroccans, shall remain at the service of Africa. We shall be at the forefront of actions to preserve the dignity of African citizens ensure respect for our Continent”.

He is the only one for me, and even though I know he does not care about me as much as I care for him, I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

Our relationship is good at the moment, but I always live in fear of when he is going to start another affair.

Please don’t tell me to leave him, because I can’t. e Dear Billie, I have been going out with my present boyfriend, on and off for the past five years. From the very minute I met him, I knew he was the one for me. Initially, we would spend hours on the phone after work, and it seemed like we could not get enough of each other.

He was the most romantic man I had ever met and soon my whole life came to revolve around him.

Unfortunately after a few months, he started to take me for granted.

He would cancel dates without explanation and started spending more and more time with his friends.

When I complained, he told me the relationship was moving too fast for him so he needed time for himself.

I soon found out he was having an affair with a lady in his office. I broke off the relationship with him as a result. Since then, we have been in and| September out of a2016 relationship 20 ENJOY N 112 so many June 2016 ENJOY N 110 o

Nelly, East Legon Dear Nelly, I understand how painful it must be for you. I won’t advise you to leave him as you are obviously not ready to do so, but in the long run, you will realise that to love someone who takes you for granted will eventually lead to more heartache.

This gentleman returns to you between affairs because he can!

You allow it and he will continue with this pattern until you put an end to it or when he finally meets his true soul mate. You are being used as an “in transit” girlfriend when he has nobody to give him the time of day. Let me tell you now: he will not change, at least not with you.

He has no regard for you and you need to start respecting yourself today! You are wasting your life with this individual and you need to love

yourself the way you expected him to love you. Needless to say that you have also put your health in danger since he has been sleeping around!

What do you actually gain from this relationship? Would it be financial security? Are you afraid of not being able to survive without him? Love is about respect, spiritual fulfilment, understanding, partnership, care and protection. I’m sure he does not meet those requirements.

Therefore I suggest you start looking after number one and see him for what he really is...e Good luck ----------------------- Dear Billie, I belong to a group of four friends, and we are all in our thirties and have known each other since secondary school. Even though we are all married now, we continue to see each other on almost a daily basis, and our families have also become friends. For the past two months, I have been living with a secret I cannot hold any longer.

I went to the home of one of the guys, and because I knew his wife and kids were out of town for the weekend, I just walked through the front door without knocking. After calling out his name a few times without response, I opened his bedroom door. What I saw will stay with me forever. He was in bed with the wife of our other friend. They

both saw me, and I quickly shut the door and left the house. Since then, they have both been calling me and begging that I keep what I saw to myself. I want to spill the beans, but I am afraid of the consequences for our friendship and the marriages involved. But since the incident, I have been avoiding all social events with my friends, since I don’t know how I will react. Please advise.

Daniel, Tema Dear Daniel, It must be difficult for you to have kept this secret to yourself for so long. The point is, it is their secret, not yours, their problem, not yours, and eventually they will have to deal with the consequences of their action. You have taken on their burden and it has changed the way you perceived your happy group of friends.

People do make mistakes and now that they are aware of your knowledge of the affair, it will hopefully snap them out of the “Honeymoon period” and bring them back to reality. The whole point of having an affair is the secrecy of it all. You knowing about it has spoiled their fun and now they are living a nightmare and they are at your mercy. I suggest you remove yourself from the equation and see it as their problem, not yours.

If you have all been friends for so long, I’m sure you are close enough to tell them how this has affected you to such an extent that you are now avoiding social events. You have become their judge and jury but forgotten to be their friend.

Speak to them if you must but remind them that it is their problem to solve. Remember that we all make mistakes! Perhaps your friends will find a way to rectify theirs.Space on with your life e Daniel, Good luck -----------------------

HORO SCOPE Aries

21/3-20/04 September can be a busy month for you, dear Aries. This is often a month of adjustments for you with the Sun in your solar sixth house of work, health, and habits. This year, you have a Solar Eclipse and retrograde Mercury complicating matters, which can point to some redoing, reorganizing, and extra details to take care of before you can feel that you're truly done and ready to move forward. Be as patient as possible and work at getting things right. Entirely new endeavors may be on the horizon, but for now, you'll be in a better place if you focus on projects already in motion.

In fact, you might find some gems from the past that you can now approach in a new way. The recycling of projects and ideas can be extraordinarily successful now. Look for critical new insight or information that pushes your work projects or health ahead on the 20-23.

Jupiter moves into your partnership sector on the 9th, where it will transit for over a year.

Taurus

21/4-21/05 The sector of your chart that rules creativity, romance, entertainment, self-expression, and pleasure receives special attention this month, dear Taurus.

While a Solar Eclipse here inspires new beginnings and fresh starts in these areas of life, Mercury's retrograde in the same sector, active until the 22nd, turns your attention to the past. In order to clear the way for a fresh start, you may need to take care of some unfinished business. Projects might be on hold until you finish up some important details.

KNOW YOUR SIGNS

Romantic relationships can be a little complicated, or you may be focused on a past connection. Those projects or relationships that have been holding you back from expressing your true, creative self may come under scrutiny. Jupiter moves into your solar sixth house on the 9th, where it will transit for the coming thirteen months.

Gemini

22/5-21/06 There can be some important renovations and improvements in your home or with family relationships this month, dear Gemini. You have a chance to begin anew, and this might involve some reorganizing or even relocation.

There may be some backtracking over old problems and conversations, and perhaps even contracts and negotiations. Preexisting problems can blow up, but are likely to blow over by the 20-23 when you gain important insight that helps clear the path for new beginnings. A career matter or responsibility can loom around the 16th, but this can also be a time for gaining some recognition for your hard work.

The drive to improve your home life can also motivate you to work harder or perhaps to pursue a promotion or better position.

One of the big headlines of the month is Jupiter's move into the sign of Libra.

This is an especially happy influence for you, and fortunately, it's not a fleeting one.

September is important for sorting out problems and making practical adjustments that will benefit you for years to come, dear Cancer, particularly related to your studies, learning, transportation, communications, and daily affairs. You are more sharply aware of flaws, and while overdoing this focus on problem areas is certainly not good for you, in moderation, this can be a powerful time for fixing problems largely because they're bothering you enough to prompt action! The 20-23 is particularly strong for seeing projects and relationships in a new way. Insight gained now can be pivotal.

Your ambitions are stimulated this month, dear Libra, but you also enjoy contributing to a team or group effort, where you can also shine. Your support is rewarded, as others can come to your aid or inform you of an opportunity for personal advancement. With your strong involvement with friends, associates, and career, you will need to find a balance when it comes to attention to family, who will remind you of this around the Full Moon on the 19th. The first half of the month is particularly strong for streamlining your routines, rewarding research, and high motivation levels for work and health. The New Moon on the 4th brings fresh energy for career and reputation matters.

September can be a month of some backtracking and delays that allow you to refine and improve your projects, dear Capricorn. However, it's an important month for getting to a much better place mentally. Redoing work that you thought was complete or returning to old material or conversations and problems can make you feel a little stuck at times this month, but you're making substantial progress.

Jupiter moves to the top of your solar chart on the 9th, and will transit your career and reputation sector for over a year. This beneficial influence will unfold over thirteen months, but you'll see it kickstarted this month, particularly around the 25-26.

22/6-23/07

Leo

24/7-23/08 The month ahead brings a strong focus on your practical affairs, dear Leo. Money and business matters need some serious sorting, but efforts put forth now can lead to brave new beginnings down the road and benefits to match. You are learning about your attachments and earning potential, and insights on the 20-23 can be pivotal. Until then, you are encouraged to look forward but also to take care of unfinished business. Around the Lunar Eclipse on the 16th, you are opening your eyes to dependencies, matters of support and sharing, and financial realities.

Virgo

24/8-23/09 You begin the month with a Solar Eclipse in your sign, dear Virgo, helping to clear the path for new personal beginnings. You'll have to look back before going forward, however, with Mercury retrograde in your sign until the 22nd, but this can eventually bring hefty rewards. Patience is necessary! Take care of unfinished business so that you can begin anew with far less baggage.

By the 9th, Jupiter will have left your sign where it visited for thirteen months.

However, as Jupiter leaves your sign, it enters your resources sector where it will stay for over a year. This begins a theme of excellent lessons and benefits revolving around money, earnings, possessions, and your personal talents. It's a superb time for building on existing resources, a business, or

project and enjoying the rewards of your past efforts.

24/9-23/10

Scorpio

24/10-22/11

September is an important month for taking care of unfinished business, dear Scorpio, mainly revolving around friends, groups, and causes. As the month progresses, it's a powerful time for healing, relaxing, and getting in touch with your inner world.

Jupiter moves into your solar twelfth house on the 9th, where it will transit for thirteen months. It's a quiet period for Jupiter, but it's certainly not without its benefits. You'll get a preview of its energy in large doses around the 25-26 when past good deeds can bring in rewards.

In many ways, the year ahead involves an important inner spiritual search as you establish a deeper connection with, and faith in, your intuition.

Sagittarius 23/11-21/12

September can be a month of ups and downs regarding career and reputation matters, dear Sagittarius, but also definite improvements to these things, or at least foreseeable ones! You may need to return to an old project or redo and refine something that you thought was complete. Some of you may need to go back to the same old conversations or problems. However, this apparent backtracking can lead to significant refinements and the strengthening of areas that were once on shaky ground.

Ultimately, you're in a much stronger position going forward. Career or life path goals can require exacting and particular attention but can also serve to excite you about your future.

22/12-20/01

Aquarius

21/01-19/02 September can be a month of transformations and renovations, dear Aquarius, mostly on an emotional level. You're returning to old problems with a different attitude, taking care of unfinished business, and making refinements to projects that are not quite complete.

In the process, you may very well find some gems from the past. Dependencies can be a big issue now - the desire to feel more independent and empowered can be strong, and you're now taking the steps necessary to make these changes.

Pisces

20/02-20/03 There is a strong focus on relationships this month, dear Pisces, and while new beginnings are on the horizon, some backtracking is likely now. It's a time of going over old problems, conversations, and negotiations. Mercury's retrograde until the 22nd points to a period when others may not always come through for you in the usual ways.Jupiter moves into your solar eighth house on the 9th, and this launches a thirteen-month cycle that's superb for financial improvements and your intimate life. This transit unfolds over the course of a year and a month, but you may be enjoying a preview of this theme now, particularly around the 2526. Increased benefits can come through others now and in the coming year.

Brainy Quotes

POEM

ASASE YAA Far over the land I see the greenery over the trees, The hills call to me….. “ABURI” “ABURI” As the car hurtles up the hills I look ahead and see the beauty of the mountain Up in front of me, High and green and covered in trees.

The road winds upwards like a snake climbing ever higher, The view below is breath-taking, The houses like little toys The people looking like ants moving to and fro down the valley We stopped and looked down through the gaps in the low wall, The wall that separated us from the other side of the slope.

The wall that kept us safe from a fall We moved to the top and sighed, The air, clear and light, The trees green and wild, The carvers at the side of the road, Hacking at their heavy logs Making life come back into wood, Telling stories the only way they could This need for me to stand at the top Is something I know I cannot stop For when the mountain calls I, a mortal, must not fail to answer The only way I can feel alive Is to be right on top of her Sooner or later I must come down The journey down is too quick I look back up, And what I see, Is the green queen looking down at me Aburi, Aburi, Aburi Mariska Taylor Darko

• ‘Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo’ is a grammatically correct meaningful English sentence. It uses the word « buffalo » in three forms: the noun ‘buffalo’ (both singular and plural), which refers to the animal also called bison; then ‘Buffalo’, which is the name of a port in the state of New York, USA; and also ‘to buffalo’, a verb meaning to bully or to confuse. It is believed to have been devised by Professor William J. Rapaport in 1972.

This is how to understand it: “Bison from Buffalo, who are intimidated by other bison from Buffalo also happen to intimidate other bison from Buffalo.

• In the 19th century, people wore dentures made from the teeth of dead soldiers. These dentures were known as ‘Waterloo Teeth’ because so many of the teeth came from the Battle of Waterloo. In fact, patients preferred those peculiar human teeth because false teeth, which were commonly carved from hippopotamus, walrus or elephant ivory, rotted more quickly than human teeth. To get the teeth, plunderers would wander battlefields with pliers, looking for fallen men.

• Taste is about 80% smell. Taste and smell are closely linked. The tongue can only differentiate five flavours: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami. But as one eats, odour molecules from the food move through the nasal passages to the olfactory receptor neurons. Each of these is only activated by a specific type of odour, but together, they can convey deeply complex scents and tastes to the brain. Scientists estimate that humans can identify about 10,000 different smells. Smells can occur in the womb before a baby is born.e

Parent Corner

Making ‘Back to School’ routines a breeze n an ever changing world where information and influences are plentiful, a strong, clear and consistent bond between you and your child is essential. A big part of your relationship is discipline.

I

But where should one start?

First you need to ask yourself these three questions : Am I disciplining in a way that damages or teaches my child a life lesson?

Is my current and chosen form of discipline helping my child to develop self-control?

Is my current and chosen form of discipline creating a healthier, more balanced relationship between us that will last a lifetime?

1. Prepare a snack menu

Chart a month’s worth of simple, nutritious snacks to take to school. Remember that pinwheel sandwiches and pizzas with elaborate vegetable faces are not easy to prepare at 5.00 a.m. It is brain food, not just presentation and beauty that children need in school.

Most pre-packaged snacks, such as biscuits and chips are loaded with sugar that decreases a child’s ability to concentrate and instead leaves him/her exhausted.

Freshly cut salads, rice dishes and fruit are easy to organize if the kitchen is stocked ahead of time and a menu is already decided.

2. Prepare the night before, every single night

Mornings are chaotic to say the least, but if bags, sports clothes, homework and outfits are prepared the night before, it will avoid the early morning scramble for essentials at the very last minute.

“if bags, sports clothes, homework and outfits are prepared the night before, it will avoid the early morning scramble for essentials at the very last minute .”

3. Make a schedule for the whole family

Download a free monthly calendar from the Internet that has a large grid to write in, print it, post it on the fridge and attach a pen to it as well.

This allows a central space on which to quickly jot down the family’s activities, parent teacher conferences, presentations, shows and events as the notices crop up.

Add work requirements and home obligations.

Make a habit of looking at it in the evening; this will give everyone ample time to prepare ahead.

4. Set a bed time routine

Follow the steps as accurately as possible. Meals should be completed at least 2 hours before bedtime to avoid indigestion, as this hinders a good night’s sleep.

Keep the pre-bedtime hours calm and mellow, avoiding television and boisterous games. Children will soon recognize the pattern and begin to anticipate sleep time.

Most of all, a healthy routine is essential to a child’s development.

I hope these tips help you as they have helped me. e

CELEBRATING BRAZIL-GHANA COOPERATION

H

In her speech at a cocktail hosted at her residency in Accra on 7th September 2016 to mark the 194th Anniversary of the Independence of Brazil, Her Excellency Ms Irene Vida Gala, Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil to Ghana, eulogised the multifaceted cooperation being pursued between her country and Ghana, which translates, among other aspects, into a growing number of Brazilian companies doing business here.

Ambassador Gala spoke at length about the contribution of African people to the formation of the Brazilian identity, a positive angle to the otherwise sad story of African men forced into slavery in the 17th century. Hence the ‘Meeting of the Eyes’ project ― which was the topic of an exhibition in the residency ― was highlighted by the Ambassador, who availed herself of the opportunity to renew her appreciation for the tremendous support

by Ghanaian authorities concerned towards implementation of the project.

“She eulogised the cooperation between Brazil and Ghana.”

KINDNESS makes a DIFFERENCE in your MARRIAGE

I

When you see this definition of kindness in action on a day-to-day basis, then you see an acceptance of your spouse, a commitment to build them up and an ability to sustain a marriage that lasts a lifetime.

1. Kindness accepts In a Focus on the Family broadcast entitled “Making Marriage a Joyful Journey,” Dr. Adrian Rogers says this: “You say, ‘But what about the faults of my mate? What about the failures of my mate? What about the foibles of my mate?’ Accept them. She has to accept yours.

Have you ever thought that your wife’s faults or flaws or idiosyncrasies may help you to develop some character Opposites attract. Her lateness may be a way to develop your patience.”

means the reverse is also true. If everyone else says you are beautiful and your spouse says you’re ugly, you will feel ugly. Your spouse’s opinion of you can be a terrible weapon. Early in your marriage, you will realize what power you have to hurt your spouse.

You will know his or her sensitivities like no one else.

And cutting remarks from you will go deeper than any knife.”

3. Kindness sustains When practiced on a daily basis, kindness – like any other consistent discipline – becomes habit. And when kindness becomes so ingrained in everything we do, it has the power to sustain. It’s something relationship Counselor McCarthy and his wife, Cyndi, have found to be absolutely essential in their marriage:

Kindness doesn’t keep track of every flaw and count “Kindness is a commitment that Cyndi and I have it against another person. Having an attitude of true kindness enables you to forgive your spouse.

“Kindness doesn’t keep track of every flaw 2. Kindness encourages Melissa* is keenly aware of how much her husband, Jack*, does for her and their family, but unfortunately she is often in the company of friends who take turns berating their husbands’ shortcomings – sometimes even in front of them. As a result, she makes a pointed effort to find opportunities to praise her husband – when she’s with him, when they’re in a group and even when he’s not there.

In his book The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller clearly outlines the power your words have over your spouse: “We said that if everyone else says you’re ugly, and your spouse says you’re beautiful, you feel beautiful, because your spouse’s words have that kind of power. But that 34 | September 2016 ENJOY No 112

and count it against another person.”

Relationships

made in our marriage to one another. We know it was kindness that first sparked our love and it’s the thing that is going to help us go the distance in our marriage. And it’s lived out in the most practical ways: sharing tasks encouraging each other’s work, notes of appreciation, words of encouragement, and never cutting each other down whether in private or in public. Of course, not letting disagreements fester into bitterness, but working things out so that we both win. Cyndi’s kindness to me is one of the huge reasons why I’m still deeply in love with her after 19 years of marriage.”

Make kindness an intentional part of your everyday interactions with your spouse and see the difference it makes. e

Throughout his discourse, which lasted well over half an hour, Mr Avle, main speaker for the conference, managed to gain the rapt attention of his audience, made up mainly of students from various universities in and around Accra.

The theme of the conference was: ‘Youth involvement in nation building’. Mr Avle lectured the youth on the necessity for them to stop blaming the past. The youth, he said, had to take responsibility and start thinking about the future: “It’s not about you and your comfort”, he opined, insisting that “life is not about your consumption, it is about your contribution”!

In order to refocus on “creating the Ghana we want”, he advised his audience to join him and “take a journey in our mind”, i.e. a mental journey from the way we think about ourselves to the way we think about our country: “When your purpose is clear, it is very easy to prioritise”, Mr Avle told the youth.

On his part, Mr Kojo Addae-Mensah, Group Chief Executive Officer, Databank Group, a guest speaker, advised the Ghanaian youth to eschew selfishness in all their dealings, while striving to take advantage of

The Edinburgh Festival August 2016 T

he Edinburgh Festival is not one festival but a collection of festivals that take place in August, in Edinburgh, Scotland forming the largest annual cultural festival in the world.

The Edinburgh International Festival was established in 1947 to boost the post war mood and "provide a platform for the flowering of the human spirit". Performances include theatre, opera, music, dance art and talkshops. However in the same year a number of theatrical events organized performances outside the remit of the EIF and provided the impetus for what was to become the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, or the Fringe.

Since then the Edinburgh Festival has grown even further to include other annual cultural festivals that host events in the city at the same time. Famously the Edinburgh Tattoo, a Jazz and Blues festival, Book Festival, Science Festival andmang other.

Performances are held all over Edinburgh, in tents, pubs and even public toilets.

Anybody who wants to can perform at this open festival - there are thousands of registered shows and tens of thousands of individual performances.

Prices vary but most tickets cost just a few pounds. Most artists just try to cover their costs. And there is plenty of street theatre that is free.

The population of the city swells, Princes Street becomes impassable and impossible for the native population to navigate.

Crossing the road becomes a military campaign.

The second performance was billed as an “epitragicomedy” chronicling the life and adventures of Mungo Park, an 18th Century Scottish Explorer.

The show was titled ‘Mungo Park – Travels in the Interior of Africa” which is also the title of the journal he published. He led two expeditions to West Africa to chart the River Niger and to investigate tales of vast gold wealth. A ripping yarn.

P

olish athlete Piotr Malachowski has sold his Olympic medal to help Olek, a 3-year -old boy diagnosed with cancer of the eye.

Malachowski, a discus thrower, took the decision to part with his hard-earned silver medal when he came across the appeal made by the mother of the unfortunate boy, who had been fighting for two years against a malignant tumour of the retina, which can be dealt with only through surgery in New York, at a cost of 126,000 USD. When members of one of the wealthiest families in Poland stepped in to support Malachowski in his move to raise over 80,000 USD to complete what Olek’s mother had been able to raise herself, the athlete said: “We have shown that together we can do wonders. My silver medal is worth now much more than a week ago. It represents the life and health of small Olek. This is a great shared achievement”.e

gold medal at the Olympic Games is generally synonymous with sports consecration. At each Olympic Games, the various participating countries pay bonuses to athletes who bring back medals from the Games. In that regard, Uzbek boxer Hasanboy Dusmatov, who emerged an Olympic boxing champion in Rio de Janeiro in the Men's 49kg Light flyweight category, is now a very wealthy man.

The bonus paid by his country, Uzbekistan, for gold medal is €800,000 (GHS3,517,600). In comparison, France pays ‘only’ €50,000 (GHS219,850) for a gold medal, and ‘poor’ United States forks out €22,000 (GHS96,734).e

50,000: that was the total number of condoms made available to athletes in the Olympic Village, which was exactly a total of 43 condoms per athlete.

In London in 2012, they received three times less. But what were they supposed to do with so many condoms each? A spokesperson for Rio 2016 Committee had this to say: "Many athletes do not have access to these protections and then take them to their country".

A more plausible explanation would be that with the excitement and pressure of the competition, athletes’ emotions and desires might go haywire. By the way, was the summer that hot in Rio?e

12 Coconut Oil

Weird Beauty Uses for Oil Pulling: If you haven’t heard all the buzz about oil pulling yet, get yourself on the bandwagon. Swishing coconut oil around in your mouth for 20 minutes a day (preferably at the beginning of the day, before you brush your teeth) can help to detoxify your body, cure headaches and whiten teeth.

Ancient Beauty Tricks That Still Work Today

Cuticle softening: Our cuticles need a little TLC, and if you’re fresh out of cuticle oil you can substitute coconut oil. Aim to apply to your fingers twice a day, especially if you spend a lot of time washing your hands every day.

Ends of your hair: For ladies with regular to thick hair, using a pinch of coconut oil on the ends of your hair can help dry, damaged tips to get a huge dose of moisture.

F

inding a good beauty product is like making a new friend, but finding a product that can help with practically everything is like finding the holy grail. Coconut oil, which is all natural and available at just about every grocery store within a two-km radius of wherever you are right now, is that holy grail. From working as a natural sunscreen to helping rehydrate your dry hair, below are 12 weird beauty uses for coconut oil.

Body scrub: Use coconut oil as a base for your DIY body scrub, mixing in an exfoliant like granulated sugar for some seriously smooth skin.

Inside your nose: Whether you have a runny nose or allergies, rub just a bit of it inside your nostrils for relief.

Beauty tips Lip Balm: Spread coconut oil over your lips before bedtime for extra hydration (that tastes and smells good!) throughout the night.

Natural Remedies for Getting Rid of Scars

Makeup remover: Trouble getting off that last bit of mascara? Use a dab of coconut oil — just be careful to not get it directly in your eyes.

Shaving cream substitute: Instead of using shaving cream, apply coconut oil to your skin and then go about shaving. This’ll be especially helpful if you have sensitive skin that irritated easily. Plus, it’s easier on the razor when it comes to cleaning.

Wrinkle prevention: Use coconut oil on the area around your eyes to prevent wrinkles and under eye bags.

Acne treatment: Put the coconut oil on acne and leave on for about 15 minutes, then wash off with warm water and don’t use anything on top.

The anti-bacterial components in the oil will work to combat acne.

Hair regrowth: Known to help with cell regrowth, apply coconut oil to any areas of baldness (especially your eyebrows) to help with hair growth.

Sunburn relief: Though it can be used as a natural sunscreen, coconut oil can also be applied to the skin for sunburn relief.e

Phenomenon of the month: TV White Spaces What Is It? Television White Spaces(TVWS) is the name used to refer to the set of unused radio broadcasting frequencies in the wireless/radio spectrum.

They are capable of travelling over hills, through walls, trees, and buildings for a distance up to 10 kilometers.

Why It Matters TVWS addresses the huge challenge in making broadband internet access available and affordable because it overcomes the challenges of prohibitive cost of installation, and addresses the problems of gaps in wireless coverage, while reducing access point and base station overload.

The devices required are not expensive, the cost of operation is less expensive than that required for satellite or radio broadcast, and it is possible to have mobile power stations to adjust coverage as necessary.

The National Communications Authority (NCA) held a public Consultation Workshop on TVWS in August where its Director-General William Tevie expressed his view that TVWS could help render inadequate internet connectivity in scarcely populated areas a thing of the past.

Boxing Exercises Fitness Tips by Godwin Frimpong

Before you start any exercise programme, check with your physician for any advice.

All exercises should begin with warming and stretching the muscles then end with appropriate cool down exercises.

These exercises are mainly for beginners, however the fitter you are, the more repetitions and quicker you can do these. This will build strength, endurance and improve your fitness.

Directions

Directions STEP 1 : WarmUp Target:

A classic way to warm up before any boxing exercise is to skip. It’s not the only way to warm up but a great way to start a whole body workout.

Do 3 rounds of skipping starting with 1 min per round for beginners to 3 mins for the more advanced,with30 -second break in between rounds.

A

Up prepare for using your arms, warm them up by doing Tricep Dips. If this is new to you, start by using the floor and lifting your body with your knees bent. Gradually make it harder by using a low chair or bench but keeping knees bent.

When you want to further challenge yourself, do this with legs outstretched.

Do 3 sets of 10 dips but increase the number of dips as you get stronger.

B

During boxing, you will need to bend your knees in order to dodge punches and also as a way to get closer to your opponent.

A great way to warm up your knees is with squats.

If you are a beginner, you can use an exercise ball against the wall to support your back and knees. As your thigh and knees get stronger you can do this exercise using your own balance.

Start with 10 squats and increase in sets of ten.

C

STEP 2 : Fit Up

A

Target:

After your warm up, it is time to get your hands ready.

Hands must be wrapped before putting on gloves.

This helps to protect your hands and support your wrists.Always, always wear.

Left Jab - Notice how I keep the right fist near my face. That is to block any punches to my face.

What you can’t see is that my feet are in a ‘L’ position with my left leg forward. Shoulders up, right elbow close to the body and push out your left arm, Rotate your arm so your palm faces downwards.

Enjoy fitness

C

D

E

Right Jab - The reverse of the left jab with the right foot is placed forward with left foot back and slightly raised. The jab is a powerful punch that can be used to distract as well as push your opponent.

Do alternate jabs – left then right.

Start with 10 pair of jabs and increase to 15 pairs then 20.

Upper Cuts These are the ones that aim for the chin and can deliver the knockout punches, but you need to be close.

These are delivered with the knees bent to give force to the upward movement.

Ensure correct position of feet and bend knees.

Do these by alternating punches with each hand.

Start with 10 pairs of punches in each round. As time goes by, look to increase each round to 20 upper cuts continuously.

F

After all your hard work, we you can ‘rest’ and work out our abdominals.

This is just one exercise using a medicine ball. Hold the ball overhead with legs outstretched. Then bring the ball and your knee together. Repeat, starting with 10 repetitions.

Cool down with a gentle jog or walking then do some stretches. e
