Cactus Pollination: Takoradi x Flying Saucer

So this one is an Uwe Kahle between Takoradi x Flying Saucer. It´s an older video and I have since learned that Takoradi is a hybrid between Soehrensia bruchii x Rosa California. The father of the plant in the video is Flying Saucer and the offspring is remarkably awesome. I own three plants from this cross and all are good in their own way.

Ghana's mineral wealth: A blessing or a curse? Examining the lithium mining lease agreement : Peoples Dispatch

The project’s infrastructure is well-positioned, with the site located 800 meters from a national highway and within proximity to two ports, Takoradi and Tema. Takoradi, which exports bauxite and manganese, is the preferred port for Atlantic Lithium.

As the conversation surrounding Ghana’s lithium agreement intensifies, it is clear that the fairness and transparency of such deals are crucial for the country’s sustainable development. The government’s defense of the agreement continues to be met with skepticism, prompting calls for a thorough review and a more inclusive approach to resource negotiations.

21st Jan 1942. An audacious raid was mounted by the single Heinkel 111 of Sonderkommando Blaich against Fort Lamy in Chad, part of the Takoradi air route. 400,000 litres of fuel were destroyed, though the Heinkel ran out of fuel on its return trip and was stranded for 6 days.

So here´s one of the best Soehrensia hybrids I own. Takoradi (one of the parents in this cross) is hybrid between Soehrensia bruchii x Rosa California by Uwe Kahle. I grow two or three sister plants from this cross, and this one here was the best! Top notch hybrid.

Open pollinated cross since the label fell down. But I only have great stuff, so whatever it was has potential! Very limited!

The Cultural Capital of AngloWest Africa - Ghana 🇬🇭

Ghana in 2021, the estimated population of Ghana is approximately 31.4 million people. The country has a relatively young population, with approximately 57% of the population under the age of 25. The population is also growing rapidly, with an annual population growth rate of 2.15%.

The ethnic composition of Ghana is diverse, with over 100 different ethnic groups. The largest ethnic group is the Akan, who make up around 47% of the population. Other significant ethnic groups include the Mole-Dagbon, Ewe, Ga-Adangbe, and Gurma.

The official language of Ghana is English, but there are many other languages spoken throughout the country, including Akan, Ewe, and Twi. The majority of the population is Christian, with approximately 71% of Ghanaians identifying as Christian. There is also a significant Muslim population, making up around 18% of the population, and a smaller population of traditional African religion practitioners.

Ghana has a relatively high urbanization rate, with approximately 56% of the population living in urban areas. The capital city, Accra, is the largest city in Ghana, with a population of over 2.2 million people. Other major cities in Ghana include Kumasi, Tamale, and Sekondi-Takoradi.

The median age in Ghana is approximately 21 years, and the life expectancy at birth is around 65 years. The literacy rate in Ghana is relatively high, with approximately 76% of the population over the age of 15 being able to read and write.

Major Health Conditions

Most prevalent health conditions in Ghana include:

Malaria: Malaria is a major public health problem in Ghana, accounting for approximately 29% of all outpatient visits, 25% of all admissions, and 22% of all deaths.

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI): ARI is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Ghana, particularly among children under five years old.

Diarrheal Diseases: Diarrheal diseases are common in Ghana, with an estimated 13% of deaths in children under five years old attributed to diarrhea.

Tuberculosis (TB): TB is a major health problem in Ghana, with an estimated 14,000 new cases reported in 2020.

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs): NTDs, including schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, and onchocerciasis, are endemic in Ghana and affect millions of people.

Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs): NCDs, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer, are on the rise in Ghana due to changing lifestyles and increasing urbanization.

Acne or Pimple or Blemish

Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, including those living in Ghana. However, there is limited research available on the prevalence and epidemiology of acne and pimples in Ghana specifically.

One study conducted in Ghana in 2019 examined the prevalence of acne and associated risk factors among students at a tertiary institution. The study found that the overall prevalence of acne was 59.5%, with females being more affected than males. The study also identified several risk factors for acne, including stress, family history, and certain dietary habits.

Another study conducted in 2017 investigated the prevalence of acne and its impact on the quality of life of Ghanaian students. The study found that 67.9% of the participants had acne, and that acne significantly impacted their quality of life in terms of social interactions and self-esteem.

Overall, while limited research exists on the prevalence and epidemiology of acne and pimples in Ghana, available studies suggest that acne is a relatively common skin condition among Ghanaians, particularly among young people. Further research is needed to better understand the epidemiology and impact of acne in Ghana and to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Acid Reflux - The sour fluid

Studies have reported a high burden of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ghana. According to a systematic review published in 2016, the most common GI disorders in sub-Saharan Africa are infectious diarrhea, helminth infections, and viral hepatitis, among others.

Furthermore, a study published in the West African Journal of Medicine in 2010 reported that upper GI symptoms, including heartburn and acid regurgitation, were prevalent among Ghanaians. The study also found that the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was a significant risk factor for upper GI symptoms.

Another study published in the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Research in 2018 reported a high prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) among Ghanaians. The study found that IBS affected 20.7% of the study participants and that females were more affected than males.

Studies suggest that digestive problems are prevalent in Ghana. The most common GI disorders in Ghana are infectious diarrhea, helminth infections, and viral hepatitis. Upper GI symptoms and IBS are also prevalent in Ghana.

Loving thyself is paramount

Male libido problems are not unique to Ghana, as they affect men all over the world. However, there are certain factors specific to Ghana that may contribute to male libido problems, including cultural and societal norms, access to healthcare, and lifestyle factors.

In Ghana, there is a cultural emphasis on masculinity and sexual prowess, which can lead to feelings of shame or inadequacy for men who struggle with low libido. This can make it difficult for men to seek help or talk openly about their issues.

Access to healthcare can also be a barrier for men in Ghana who are experiencing libido problems. Some men may not have access to medical facilities or trained healthcare professionals who can provide appropriate treatment.

Lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and high levels of stress can also contribute to male libido problems in Ghana. These factors can lead to issues such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, which are all risk factors for low libido.

To address male libido problems in Ghana, it is important to address these underlying factors. This may involve promoting a more open and accepting attitude towards male sexual health, increasing access to healthcare services, and encouraging healthy lifestyle behaviors. Additionally, healthcare providers can offer treatments such as counseling, medication, and lifestyle interventions to help men overcome their libido problems.

The Size of Prize

The pharmaceutical industry in Ghana has been growing steadily over the years. According to a report by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), the industry's value was estimated to be around $630 million in 2019, with an annual growth rate of 6.8%. The government of Ghana has been implementing policies to promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry, with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency in drug production.

The pharmaceutical industry in Ghana can be categorized into the following products:

Generic drugs: These are drugs that are not branded and are marketed under their chemical names. They are cheaper than branded drugs and are essential in providing affordable healthcare.

Branded drugs: These are drugs marketed under a brand name and are usually more expensive than generic drugs. They are protected by patents, which give the manufacturer exclusive rights to produce and market them.

Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs: These are drugs that can be bought without a prescription from a healthcare provider. They are usually used to treat common ailments such as headaches, colds, and coughs.

Medical devices: These are instruments, machines, and apparatus used to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease.

The Ghanaian pharmaceutical industry is dominated by local manufacturers who produce generic drugs, with only a few multinational companies operating in the country. The government of Ghana has been implementing policies to promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry, including tax exemptions and incentives for local manufacturers. The industry is also regulated by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA).

Nature Offers More

The herbal over-the-counter (OTC) products market in Ghana is a significant segment of the country's healthcare industry. Ghana has a rich tradition of herbal medicine, and many Ghanaians rely on traditional herbal remedies to treat various health conditions. The demand for herbal OTC products has been increasing in recent years due to a growing interest in natural and alternative medicine.

Some of the commonly used herbal OTC products in Ghana include herbal teas, capsules, powders, and creams. These products are made from a variety of herbs and plants, such as aloe vera, ginger, neem, moringa, and turmeric. They are marketed as remedies for a range of ailments, including digestive disorders, skin conditions, and respiratory problems.

The herbal OTC products market in Ghana is largely unregulated, and many of these products are sold without proper quality control or safety testing. However, the Ghana Standards Authority has established guidelines for the manufacture, labeling, and packaging of herbal products to ensure quality and safety.

The market for herbal OTC products in Ghana is highly competitive, with many small-scale producers and distributors. However, some larger companies have entered the market, such as Phyto-Riker Pharmaceuticals and Ernest Chemists Limited, which have established themselves as leading manufacturers and distributors of herbal products in Ghana.

Overall, the herbal OTC products market in Ghana is growing, driven by a strong demand for natural and traditional remedies.

The Access Points

There are various distribution channels for over-the-counter (OTC) and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) products. Some of these distribution channels include:

Traditional Trade: This involves the use of small independent retailers such as mom-and-pop stores, kiosks, and corner shops. They are typically located in residential areas and are convenient for consumers to access.

Supermarkets/Hypermarkets: These are larger stores that offer a wider range of products and are typically located in commercial areas or shopping malls.

Pharmacies and Drug Stores: These are stores that specialize in the sale of pharmaceutical and healthcare products. They are typically located in urban areas and are often frequented by consumers seeking OTC products.

Direct Selling: This involves the use of a network of independent distributors who sell products directly to consumers. This method is commonly used for products such as cosmetics and personal care items.

Online Retail: With the rise of e-commerce, online retail has become an increasingly popular channel for the distribution of OTC and FMCG products. Online marketplaces such as Jumia, Konga, and Jiji have become prominent players in the Ghanaian retail market.

Wholesalers and Distributors: These are companies that buy products in bulk from manufacturers and sell them to retailers. They are often used by manufacturers to reach a wider market.

The distribution channels for OTC and FMCG products in Ghana are diverse, ranging from traditional trade to online retail. Manufacturers often use a combination of these channels to ensure their products are widely available to consumers.

HMS Argus (I49)

HMS Argus was a British aircraft carrier that served in the Royal Navy from 1918 to 1944. She was converted from an ocean liner that was under construction when the First World War began and became the first example of the standard pattern of aircraft carrier, with a full-length flight deck that allowed wheeled aircraft to take off and land. After commissioning, the ship was involved for several years in the development of the optimum design for other aircraft carriers. Argus also evaluated various types of arresting gear, general procedures needed to operate a number of aircraft in concert and fleet tactics. The ship was too top-heavy as originally built, and had to be modified to improve her stability in the mid-1920s. She spent one brief deployment on the China Station in the late 1920s before being placed in reserve for budgetary reasons.

Argus was recommissioned and partially modernised shortly before the Second World War and served as a training ship for deck-landing practice until June 1940. The following month she made the first of her many ferry trips to the Western Mediterranean to fly off fighters to Malta; she was largely occupied in this task for the next two years. The ship also delivered aircraft to Murmansk in Russia, Takoradi on the Gold Coast, and Reykjavík in Iceland. By 1942, the Royal Navy was very short of aircraft carriers, and Argus was pressed into front-line service despite her lack of speed and armament. In June, she participated in Operation Harpoon, providing air cover for the Malta-bound convoy. In November, the ship provided air cover during Operation Torch, the invasion of French North Africa, and was slightly damaged by a bomb. After returning to the UK for repairs, Argus was used again for deck-landing practice until late September 1944. In December, she became an accommodation ship, and was listed for disposal in mid-1946. Argus was sold in late 1946 and scrapped the following year.
