I Have Seen Technology's Future One of the most interesting parts of Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, Inception, allows small focused startups to pitch their ideas in a Shark Tanklike atmosphere to compete for a significant cash prize. Two of the more compelling solutions were presented by companies run by women this year. However, the big news was a company that was well along the way to creating an electronic human/ machine interface.

Project MAJI Foundation marks WORLD WATER DAY 2018

Mr Bhagwan Khubchandani, Melcom Group Chairman (middle), accepting a Certificate of Appreciation from Mr Sunil Lalwani, Founder & CEO, Project Maji

We recall that World Water Day was instituted in 1992 by the United Nations to remind humanity of the vital importance of water and of the need for each and every one to get informed of water-related issues and be inspired to take action. 2018’s theme for observance of the day, ‘Nature for Water’, “explores naturebased solutions to the water challenges” the world faces in the 21st century. That is exactly the spirit in which Project MAJI Foundation hosted representatives of the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources and other interested parties, including the press, at the Labadi Beach Hotel for their first annual World Water Day observance on 22nd March 2018, to throw light on ‘Project Maji Solar Water Kiosks’, a unique solar powered water pumping system that provides nearultimate solution to deprived communities with no running water system. Hear Mr Sunil Lalvani, Founder and CEO of Project MAJI: “I originally set to provide one community safe water through Binatone’s CSR department in 2014; however, we continued to grow and expand to more communities, and in 2015 Project MAJI was founded”.

SEVEN HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT WATER

Known for its concentrations of electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals, coconut water has swept the nation. Coconut water is made from the clear liquid inside of green coconuts. It's not to be confused with coconut milk, which is made from the water and the flesh inside of a mature coconut. Over 95 percent of coconut water is water. Coconut water has been consumed for centuries in tropical regions around the world. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, coconut water is believed to help digestion, urination, and even semen production. It has also traditionally been used to treat dehydration and given as ceremonial gifts throughout the tropics. While it may not be a miracle cure, it does have many health benefits. 1. Natural sports drink Coconut water's natural electrolytes make it a solid match for traditional sports drinks like Gatorade. Made without added sugar, food coloring, or artificial sweeteners, many people reach for coconut water as a more natural performance drink.

3. Potassium Coconut water has more than 10 times the amount of potassium of most sports drinks. An 8-ounce glass of coconut water is packed with as much potassium as a banana. Most Americans fall short of the daily recommendation for potassium. At 405 mg per cup, the potassium in coconut water can help you ward off cramps. Potassium helps keep fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, especially during exercise. Because there is more potassium than sodium in coconut water, the potassium may help balance out sodium's effect on blood pressure and possibly even help lower it. 4. Calcium and magnesium Calcium is vital for more than just strong bones and teeth. It helps muscles contract and work properly. As you exercise, your muscles pull on your bones and break them down slightly. As your body recovers, your bones use calcium to get stronger and repair. Magnesium helps to move calcium and potassium into muscles to aid in contraction and relaxation. It also helps with

By Mandy Ferreira energy production and supports organ function. A hard workout can leave you depleted in magnesium and prone to cramps, restless muscles, and spasms. While coconut water contains more calcium and magnesium than other sports drinks or fruit juices, it is not a concentrated source of either mineral. Coconut water contains less than 5 percent of your recommended amount of both calcium and magnesium. 5. Antioxidants In addition to all of its hydrating benefits, coconut water contains antioxidants that help to neutralize oxidative stress and free radicals created by exercise. Look for fresh coconut water to get the highest levels of antioxidants. Processed and heat pasteurized coconut water has fewer antioxidants, according to a recent study. 6. Amino acids Amino acids are essential for repairing tissues and are the building blocks of protein. Coconut water contains more alanine, arginine, cysteine, and serine than cow's milk. It's a major source of arginine, an amino acid that helps your body respond to stress (like the stress caused by a difficult workout). Arginine may also help keep the heart healthy. 7. Cytokinins The hormones that help plants grow, also known as cytokinins, are also found in coconut water. These compounds are believed to have antiaging and cancer-fighting properties. However, to date no major studies have shown that coconut water wards off cancer. e ENJOY No 128 April 2018 | 21

2. Low in calories With only 45 calories in a cup, coconut water is a great substitute for higher calorie drinks like sodas or juice, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Coconut water has less sugar and carbohydrates than most juices. It also has more minerals and electrolytes like sodium and potassium. However, for casual sipping, it still can't compete with zero calorie water.

HOW TO MANAGE LIFESTYLE INFLATION PART 2 spending that results from lifestyle inflation can quickly become a habit: the more you earn, the more you burn. You buy more things than you need just to maintain your new (inflated) standard of living.

ere is the second part of Jean Folger’s very enlightening article on ways to manage lifestyle inflation. We believe you have picked great lessons from the first part. This will certainly not let you down. ENJOY! Spending More Makes Sense – Sometimes There may be times when increasing your spending in certain areas makes sense. You may need to upgrade your wardrobe, for example, in order to be dressed appropriately at work following a recent promotion. Or, with the birth of a new baby, you may really need to move into a house with an additional bedroom so the grownups can get some sleep. Your situation will change over time – both professionally and personally – and you will likely have to spend more money on things you previously avoided altogether (like a car) or things you could skimp on (like your wardrobe). A certain amount of lifestyle inflation is to be expected as your work and family obligations evolve. Spending a little extra to improve your quality of life might also make sense – as long as you can afford it. As you advance in your career, for example, you may not have time anymore to mow the lawn and clean the house – unless you use your one day off to take care of such chores. Even though it’s an added 22 | April 2018 ENJOY No 128

expense, it’s reasonable to spend the money and pay someone else to do it, so you can free up some time to spend with family, friends or doing a hobby you enjoy. Being able to enjoy a bit of free time helps promote a healthy work-life balance and can make you more productive at work. Avoiding Lifestyle Inflation While some level of lifestyle inflation may be unavoidable, remember that every spending decision you make today affects your financial situation tomorrow. In other words, that $800 pair of Jimmy Choo heels you just bought is coming straight out of your retirement nest egg. Can you afford to spend that much on shoes? Even if you can, should you? Even with a substantial pay increase, it’s possible (and quite easy) to end up living paycheque to paycheque, just like you did when you were making much less money. That’s because the increased

Assume you splurged and bought that $800 pair of Jimmy Choos when you were 25 years old. Imagine you had invested that $800 instead. When you reach age 65, your $800 would be worth $5,632, assuming no additional investment and a 5% interest rate return. Even though the shoes are awesome, would you rather have great shoes for a couple years or almost $6,000 extra entering retirement? While some purchases are necessary, it always pays to separate needs (things we have to have for survival, including shoes) from wants (things we would like to have but don’t need to survive, like the Jimmy Choos). Keeping needs and wants in mind – and making realistic, honest assessments about whether a potential purchase is a need or a want – can help you make better financial decisions and avoid excessive lifestyle inflation. While an income boost is generally welcome, you can be just as broke and in debt whether you’re earning $20,000 or $200,000 a year – it depends on how you spend and save your money.

THE FINANCIAL TERM OF THE MONTH: PRISONER'S DILEMMA The prisoner's dilemma is a paradox in decision analysis in which two individuals acting in their own self-interest pursue a course of action that does not result in the ideal outcome. The typical prisoner's dilemma is set up in such a way that both parties choose to protect themselves at the expense of the other participant. As a result of following a purely logical thought process, both participants find themselves in a worse state than if they had cooperated with each other in the decision-making process.  Investopedia.com e

Discover Your Country with AWOL GHANA tour

Episode 2 ENJOY brings you in this issue the second episode of its reportage of the Ghana Tour embarked upon by members of AWOL [Adventure without limit]. They are Samir, Hisham, Kobi, Regis, Carl, Mawuli and John, ably supported by Francis and Richard, the technical team, enjoying Ghanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countryside on their motorbikes. In the March 2018 issue, we met them on the first three legs of their tour, i.e. Accra-Axim, AximSunyani and Sunyani-Mole. This second episode takes us all through Tumu, Tamale, Ada and back to Accra. 24 | April 2018 ENJOY No 128

Day 4: Mole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tumu, 12 hours for 338kms due to the peculiar nature of the road. Then Bolgatanga, the capital city of the Upper East Region, was once the southernmost point of the ancient transSaharan trading route running through Burkina Faso to Mali. Bolga, the last stop on the road to Burkina Faso, is uninhibited and a fine base to explore surrounding tourist sites, including the shrine/tomb of Naa Gbewaa, founder of the Dagombas, the Tongo Hills with their large granite formations, and the eye-catching Bolgatanga library.

Day 5: Tumu – Tamale, 302kms with

stop over at Paga, the land of a sacred crocodile pond, inhabited by world-famous friendly reptiles that attract visitors from far and near. Tamale, seen as one of the fastest growing cities in West Africa, is home to an extremely hospitable people. Striking to the bikers in Tamale was the elegant blend of traditional and modern designs composing the construction architecture of the town. The Palace of the Gulkpe-Naa (Chief of Tamale), for example, is a pleasure to behold. This leg of the AWOL Ghana Tour was also an opportunity to know Dambai, on the eastern coast of the Volta Lake, in the northern part of the Volta Region. The area boasts fertile land and lots of water, rich flora and fauna comprised of wild animals such as lions, elephants, duikers and cobs, among others. A notable feature of Dambai is its effervescent market that falls on Monday and Tuesday, attracting patrons across the Krachi East District and neighbouring Togo. Tourist attractions in Dambai include the ferry to cross the river and the fascinating Jabuni, Denteh and Tigare ancestral shrines.

Day 6: Tamale – Ada, the longest leg

of 570kms. Ada is a coastal town in the Greater Accra Region. Once a major trading centre with large warehouses and the attending social life, Ada seems to be a shadow of that former self. Hardly can one spot any remaining traces of physical structures such as the erstwhile forts, factories and shops, since large parts of the town have been eroded and washed into the sea. Nonetheless, between river and ocean, Ada still offers thrilling water sports like swimming, sailing, fishing and boat cruises. No wonder the Ghana Sailing Club is located there. AWOL bikers spent the night at Samir’s Place.

Day 7: Ada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Accra,

She is the CEO of Corporate Counselling, located at Roman Ridge Arcades at Airport Residential Area. Your questions, comments and suggestions are welcome at the address: dearbillie@enjoyaccra.com

Dear Billie, I have been married for two years. At first it was really great and then she changed before my very eyes. She complains about everything I do. When I come home early from work she will find some reason for us to argue. When I have a drink with friends after work, she complains that my friends mean more to me. She has her own imperfections, but I take her as she is. Why can’t she do same for me? Her nagging has reached the point that I don’t even want to go home after work anymore, which I know is bad. Do you have any ideas I can try? Leonard, Tema

32 | April 2018 ENJOY No 128

Dear Leonard, If you know you have tried to please your wife the best you can and she still nags, I would understand why it has become increasingly difficult to come home early. It looks like there is no pleasing her. Some people are like that! Nothing we do for them is good enough. You might want to give it one more shot though. Sit her down and ask her what is really going on in her life. Maybe she has some other problem

you are not aware of, which is affecting her mood. We often take out our frustration on our nearest and dearest because we feel safe in their love to do this. I think you two need to talk. Encourage her to talk about herself. Sometimes women expect their men to guess what is wrong instead of telling them, which is wrong because men have not really been known for their psychic abilities, right? Check what you do when you come home early. Do you simply eat and doze off in front of the television? Do you genuinely ask her how her day went? Do you take her out alone for a romantic dinner? Women love to be pampered and maybe that is what she’s yearning for. Give it a try. Good luck and keep me posted. ---------------------------------------Dear Billie, I recently had a one-night stand with a female friend. Our relationship has always been platonic, even though I have always known she is in love with me. I on the other hand prefer her to remain a friend rather than a lover, since I am not ready to settle down. On the night in

ADVICE CORNER question, we went out with a group of friends and I had too much to drink. When I dropped her at home, she suggested I come in and sleep for a while since it was dangerous for me to drive in my drunken state. I agreed to her suggestion and we slept on the same bed as we had done many times. Unfortunately, this time, I decided to seduce her, and succeeded very easily. The following morning, she brought me breakfast in bed, and since then, she has been behaving as if we were a couple. I don’t remember exactly what I told her before we had sex, but I probably told her I loved her. Please help! What should I do? For me, what happened was a mistake. Kweku, Adenta Dear Kweku, I’m not too sure about who seduced who in your case. Your lady friend knew very well that you had never intended for you two to be an item, but she took advantage of the fact that you were drunk. You were not in control of your actions since you were under the influence of alcohol, but the fact that you had often slept on the same bed knowing that she was in love with you, couldn’t have helped matters! She seemed to know exactly what she was doing and that she was maybe setting herself up for a huge disappointment. You have to do a quick U-turn and explain to her gently that it was a mistake and that she knew you were drunk, since she invited you in to sleep it off. You two need to communicate better as friends, otherwise there will be more misunderstandings. Once you tell her how things really are, she might be hurt for some

time but will one day find someone else that does love her. In your case, Kofi, I suggest you slow down with your drinking habits, as it could very well land you in hot waters again. You might not be so lucky next time. Good luck and keep me posted --------------------------------------Dear Billie, I am going out with a great guy. We are both in our early twenties. The other day while I was visiting him at home, I happened to find myself alone with his dad. I have to say that he is a nice guy, and we have a good relationship. Unfortunately, that day he told me he wants to sleep with me, and asked me to break up with his son. I immediately told him that is out of the question. My dilemma now is whether to tell my boyfriend. Jane, Legon Dear Jane,

friendly nature for something else? Has he made further advances towards you since that day? In any case I believe you still need to tell your boyfriend about the incident in order for the father to be reminded of his boundaries! This is a lack of respect on his part not just to you but towards his son. It might become a case of the father’s word against yours but can you really see yourself settling into a relationship where there is no trust? As a matter of fact this issue is between father and son and it needs to be dealt with now. If your relationship is solid and based on friendship, I am sure you will find the words to break it gently to your boyfriend. The father’s behaviour was completely unacceptable and let’s just hope it was the one of and will never occur again. In the meantime I suggest you spend less time in his house as to avoid further misunderstandings. Good luck and keep me posted

HOROSCOPE THIS MONTH ARIES Taurus

21/04-21/05 April 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Taurus: The month ahead focuses on personal appeal, leisure, healing, and replenishing your energy, dear Taurus. Some intense aspects are happening in April, but these are occurring in harmony with your sign, making the month in an overall sense quite useful for making the most of things and helping others, as well. As April begins, the Full Moon has just occurred in your work and health sector and is a call to action regarding your work, services, habits, and health in the first weeks of April. Even so, there is a strong focus on downtime this month with the Sun (until the 20th) and Mercury (all month) in your soul sector. This is a time for finding the time to rest, be still, reflect, and process recent events. Venus spends most of the month in your sign (until April 24th). It harmonizes with heavyweight planets (Mars, Saturn, and Pluto) in your spirit sector, and self-

expression is perhaps a little strong or heavy but also successful and well-received.

Gemini

22/5-21/06 April 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Gemini: The month begins just after a Full Moon has awakened you to the need to express yourself more freely and to more heartily pursue your happiness goals, dear Gemini. At the same time, though, Venus has moved into your privacy sector, and you begin to withdraw somewhat to do some much-needed thinking and processing. This also is a signal to get some welldeserved rest. Until the 15th, your 36 | April 2018 ENJOY No 128

KNOW YOUR SIGNS ruler, Mercury, remains retrograde, also pointing to some extra need to take things easy, mainly related to decisionmaking, health, and friendship or networking matters. From mid-month forward, delays lift, and you get the information you need to move forward. In love, though, it's not until after the 26th that life seems to pick up the pace.

Cancer

22/6-23/07 January & February 2018: This period of April 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Cancer: You begin the month having just awakened to the intense need to attend to your personal life, family, and home, dear Cancer, although April as a whole is more about your career, public life, or outside responsibilities than private time. People are seeking you out. Venus has just moved into your friendship sector, gracing your networking and socializing with good, warm energy. Balancing your home life with responsibilities to the rest of the world is essential now, but your professional or public life continues to need your keen attention. Mars spends much of April in between Saturn and Pluto, which is a rather tough place to be! This can point to the need to work through issues with others, particularly in your one-on-one relationships and partnerships. On the 2nd, a Mars-Saturn meetup suggests a reality check in this area. Others may seem to be blocking you or slowing you down, or responsibilities to others can feel weighty. If a relationship withstands pressure, this can be a time for coming up with a new and improved plan to go forward.

This can be a busy time of the month, and this pace continues throughout the month in some shape or form with a strong showing of planets in your sector of work, health, and routines. However, you also have your eye on extracurricular activities and learning, so you have a full plate now. This needs managing for you to enjoy April more heartily since demands on you are high. Venus is at the top of your solar chart until the 24th, and you're in a lovely light on professional and public levels. Venus helps out, in fact, with the tension and pressure related to everyday work, effort, health routines, and the daily grind. You may very well gain some appreciation for the behind-the-scenes efforts you put in that aren't always noticed.

Virgo

24/8-23/09 April 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Virgo: When the month begins, you've just experienced a call to action related to money, resources, comfort, and health, dear Virgo. You start April very alert to the need to take care of personal business. Priorities are clear. This is an important time for sorting out your affairs. As well, if you've been feeling unfairly treated, you'll want to do something about it now.

Libra

24/9-23/10 April 2018 Libra Monthly Horoscope: You begin the month especially aware of your emotional needs, dear Libra, with the Full Moon in your sign awakening you to your true feelings on a matter at the end of last month. With this new awareness, you may make some plans or adjustments that improve your life. However, it's a little slow going from the 2-4. Mars meeting with Saturn in your sector of heart, home, and family can slow you down so that you can concentrate your energy on priorities, particularly in your personal life or with

family and household concerns. There may be some hard work involved with getting a problem area handled. People around you can be ornery or stubborn, as well, from the 2-4. Mind you, even though problem areas can crop up at what seems like the worst possible times, they can prompt you to improve your living conditions or home life and can lead to long-term benefits. The focus should be on strengthening and simplifying things and then rebuilding later on in the month.

Scorpio

24/10-22/11 April 2018 Scorpio Monthly Horoscope: You begin April with a heightened awareness of your need to take extra downtime or moments to yourself, dear Scorpio. While this is important, April's larger themes are more about getting your work and health routines into order and focusing on your close relationships. Mars is moving through your communications sector, igniting your curiosity and exciting you about various personal interests, communications, and learning or teaching all month. As quickly as Mars would like you to move, however, it aligns with heavy Saturn on the 2nd and then intense Pluto on the 26th. As such, for much of the month (from the 2-26), Mars can feel under pressure, confined, or restricted.

Sagittarius 23/11-21/12

April 2018 Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope: You begin April with a stronger awareness of your social needs or your feelings about special people in your life, dear Sagittarius. In fact, it's an important month for arriving at a better understanding of your social or romantic connections as well as your special projects and personal objectives. There's also a growing theme of attention to work and health matters this month. Relationships with the people you spend time with in pursuit of your daily goals are set to improve. There is more joy in your work or routines, as well. Mars is charging through your resources sector all month, encouraging you to pursue a better lifestyle or financial objectives with more confidence. Even so, from the 2-26, Mars is caught between two heavyweight planets -- Saturn and Mars -- and will need to slow its roll to get where it wants to go.

Capricorn 22/12-20/01

April 2018 Capricorn Monthly Horoscope: A Full Moon at the end of March has lit up a new path for you, dear Capricorn, and you begin April more aware of the need to make changes in your personal life, with family, or in your domestic affairs. Even so, there is a big theme of career, reputation, and responsibilities this month, and you'll continue to sort out your goals and follow your ambitions in April. Indeed, your many personal goals can compete with professional ones, but you stand to gain some momentum after first establishing your priorities and pacing yourself just right.

Aquarius

21/01-19/02 April 2018 Aquarius Monthly Horoscope: Your taste for experiences outside of the ordinary is notable at the beginning of April, dear Aquarius, and while you'd do well to explore them, April can find you rather frequently dealing with your mundane affairs. There is also a growing theme of extra attention to your home or family life, and there can be fantastic opportunities to bring more harmony, comfort, enjoyment, and beauty to your personal or domestic world in April.

Pisces

20/02-20/03 April 2018 Pisces Monthly Horoscope: The month ahead is an important one for sorting out your finances, paying particular attention to your valuables and resources, and building your talents, dear Pisces. You're also paying more attention to your comfort levels, and you can spend quite a bit of time on making your life more secure.

Pisces

20/02-20/03 April 2018: Relationships are in strong focus as the month begins, dear Aries, but the major themes of the month are about you, your resources, confidence, work, and independence. As April begins, the Full Moon has just occurred in your partnership sector, and feelings No 128 April 2018 | 37 have reachedENJOY a head.

Mrs Jacqui Ahomka-Lindsay the President of the Ghana International Women’s Club implored guests to seize the opportunity to accelerate the 2030 Agenda, building momentum for the effective implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and finished with a quote from a political activist for all to take away: "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights,".

50 Years Ago, you can try at home Dr Martin Luther King Half a century ago, on 4th April 1968, an exceptional man, whom each of the generations to come will always keep something of, left us. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. was a universal hero, just like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.

A global figure of the non-violent struggle, this African-American Baptist pastor was at the origin of the struggle for civil rights of the black population of the United States of America, but also at the origin of the fight against segregation with the Montgomery bus boycott movement. For the common run of people throughout the world, the thought of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. almost naturally sends one back to his famous speech on 28th August 1963, in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, the very inspired “I Have a Dream” delivered at the end of the March on Washington by the Blacks, for Employment, for Freedom. For Dignity also! Experts are said to have counted some 2,500 speeches and interventions by Dr Martin Luther King Jr. under the struggle for Civil Rights. However, whatever text of his one picks, one discovers a multitude of entries, different levels of reading, and an impressive philosophical height. For his engagements in the nonviolent fight against segregation, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

In fact, he was the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, at age 35. He donated all the Prize money – USD54,123 – to the Civil Rights movement. The fight for Peace and against the Vietnam War will be his ultimate obsession until his assassination on 4th April 1968. Dr King was also an African hero, no doubt about that. He felt so much a part of Africa that he could not afford to miss the Big Event in Accra on the night of 5th to 6th March 1957, as he flew to Ghana to witness the formal accession of this country to International Sovereignty.

He was in the front row that night! Later, in his speeches, he will often allude to this particular moment of his life, of the life of the continent of his ancestors. The question is: “Has Africa, in return, learnt any lessons from the life and struggles of this great historical figure? Have Africans been showing the determination, the commitment, the ardour for Freedom and Dignity like Dr Martin Luther King Jr. did?” The question is for all of us! Let each of us provide the answer!

Djokoto’s Diary — A Man About Town

The Nkrumah Mystique

As an undergraduate student mesmerised with the Nkrumah mystique, I often thrived on quiet late nights, imbibing port and flicking through a collection of vintage books and dusty memoirs I had borrowed from my grandpapa’s library, tilted back on a rocking chair listening to Sade Adu. These moments filled a void of knowledge about our ancient traditions and political systems — a cumulative depository of deities and ritual techniques, acquired as a result of trade, conquest and welfare — and provided stimulation for further intellectual enquiry and appreciation for the sophisticated art of divination in our culture. I was keen on identifying a common ideal which bound a kaleidoscope of virile citizens to the task of nation building — as a focus of unity for the Republic — and determined to foreshadow this intention through action. 42 | April 2018 ENJOY No 128

Service Above All

Preoccupied with this ideal, I enlisted as a paralegal, Directorate of Legal Services, Ghana Armed Forces in June 2016. The Ghana Armed Forces offered a unique perspective on public life and organisational discipline — etiquette and code of conduct emphasised reverence for its hierarchical structure, interdependence and mutual respect for one another. The pomp and pageantry which characterised esoteric rites to commemorate milestones at Burma Camp particularly evoked consciousness of nationalism as a citizen and a renewed sense of allegiance to the Republic. Confined to the library, conducting research on international dispute resolution, I engaged several civil servants in discourse about our political history, some who witnessed and provided personal accounts of the various palace coups which occurred

during the 2nd and 3rd Republics of Ghana (1966 — 1981). At the time, I had also undertaken the strenuous task of negotiating for the representation of the Ghana Armed Forces as a delegation to honour the Ghana Youth Conference 2016, attending meetings with the various Commanding Officers, preceded by detailed letters espousing the philosophy of the Sankofa Society of Ghana, before tabling the objectives of the Convention to its logical conclusion.

The New Frontier of Leadership The previous Ghana Youth Conference 1948 had assembled and merged the Wassa Youth Association of Tarkwa, the Asante Youth Association of Kumasi, and the Ghana Youth Association of Sekondi under the banner of the Committee on Youth Organisation. The CYO, chaired by K. A. Gbedemah with Kojo Botsio as secretary, released a manifesto demanding “self-government now” in a response to a proposed constitution by the Coussey Committee which consolidated the colonial franchise — retaining a foreign Governor and limiting voting rights to

aristocrats. Rebels with a cause, the CYO successfully influenced the Coussey Committee’s resolve to hold elections by universal suffrage. This provided an impetus to closer social solidarity and armed citizens with the fundamental right to directly elect representatives to the Legislative Assembly.

High Street Clerk In search of broader exposure to public institutions and their inner-workings, I enrolled at the Judicial Service of Ghana as a clerk in August 2016. The Judiciary acts as the moral compass of the Republic and the conscience of the people, it is a pillar that sustains our nation as the 4th Republic most recently experienced during an eight-month long Election petition in 2013. As a clerk, I administered oaths and prepared reports on cases before the court daily, intimate with the diverse social complexities underlining our Republic, especially factors affecting the youth such as unemployment. After work, I’d roll my sleeves up and stroll into the heart of Jamestown, accompanied by a colleague who often helped with translation, to interact with townspeople and smallscale business owners, while recording observations for further examination. I believe to devise any meaningful strategy for district development, utmost reliance should be placed on accurate inventories/statistics.

Rebel With A Cause

Recently, after a spiffing banquet and an aesthetic exhibition of artwork such as Kirsty Bekoe-Tabiri’s ‘Honeyed Rays’ and Soala Ajienka’s ‘Facets of Attire’ exuding indigenous African excellence, I took my gigs off. Blotto from the fountain of youth as my flute runneth over, with a flaming Montecristo between my lips, I strolled from the rendezvous, still struck by thoughts of a Republic in pursuit of nirvana, and the promise land that continues to elude us, while the beaming full moon observed the conscience of a wandering reveller. A rebel with a cause. e

BEAUTY TIPS 3. Use Aloe Vera To Transform Red Irritated Skin Into Soft Healthly Skin If your skin is red and irritated, you’ll want to soothe it right away. Prolonged inflammation of your skin can cause your skin to break down collagen. Or, if

you just want smooth, vibrant skin, you can also use this skin soother. Aloe Vera gel has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and healing properties, and it penetrates the skin easily to provide nourishment.

It’s terrific for soothing skin that’s been overexposed

to the sun, as well as for treating minor cuts and scrapes, eczema, and acne. In most stores, the aloe

you’ll find contains preservatives, fillers, and artificial

ingredients. Look for pure aloe from your local health food store, or buy an aloe plant and simply slice open a leaf, extracting and saving the gel. 4. Clean Facial Pores With Honey, Turmeric, And Yoghurt For A Smoother Complexion Combine the healing, clarifying, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effects of honey with pore cleansing and sebum balancing effects of turmeric and pH enhancing and lactic acid effects of yogurt into this pore

What real

People Say about Love &

Relationships N

o matter your status—single, dating, engaged, or married—relationships take work. And whether they end with tears or last until forever may depend upon countless factors, but your own actions, words, and thoughts undoubtedly play a role. One thing that'll give you an advantage in the game of love? Soaking up all the wisdom you can from people’s experiences from relationships, relationship therapists, and more. Regardless of your personal situation, their words may help you uncover the key to long-lasting happiness.

46 | April 2018 ENJOY No 128

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

Every little gesture counts.

1. Do or say something daily to show your appreciation. "Saying and doing small, simple expressions of gratitude every day yields big rewards. When people feel recognized as special and appreciated, they're happier in that relationship and more motivated to make the relationship better and stronger. And when I say simple, I really mean it. Make small gestures that show you're paying attention: Hug, kiss, hold hands, buy a small gift, send a card, fix a favorite dessert, put fuel in the car, or tell your partner, 'You're sexy,' 'You're the best mom/dad,' or simply say 'Thank you for being so wonderful.'"

When people feel recognized as special and appreciated, they're happier in that relationship and more motivated to make the relationship better and stronger.

2. Realise every relationship has value, regardless of how long it lasts. "There’s no such thing as a failed romance. Relationships simply evolve into what they were always meant to be. It’s best not to try to make something that is meant to be seasonal or temporary into a lifelong relationship. Let go and enjoy the journey."

3. Never take your partner for granted. "This may sound obvious, but you can't imagine how many people come to couples therapy too late, when their partner is done with a relationship and wants to end it. It is very important to realize that everyone potentially has a breaking point, and if their needs are not met or they don't feel seen by the other, they will more than likely find it somewhere else. Many people assume that just because they are OK without things they want so is their partner. 'No relationship is perfect' shouldn't be used as a rationalization for complacency."

4. Stop trying to be each other’s “everything.” "'You are my everything' is a lousy pop-song lyric and an even worse relationship plan. No one can be 'everything' to anyone. Create relationships outside The Relationship, or The Relationship isn't going to work anymore." 5. Look for someone with similar values. "For long-lasting love, the more similarity (e.g., age, education, values, personality, hobbies), the better. Partners should be especially sure that their values match before getting into marriage. Although other differences can be accommodated and tolerated, a difference in values is particularly problematic if the goal is longlasting love. Another secret for a long marriage: Both partners need to commit to making it work, no matter what. The only thing that can break up a relationship are the partners themselves." e
