(Last Updated On: January 17, 2018)
The President, H.E Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo says his government won’t interfere with the affairs concerning the leadership and works of the Ghana Football.
The president’s stance stems from the fact that he believes the football association is autonomous and as such its actions can only be interrogated directly by the world football governing body, FIFA.
There have been widespread allegations in the media and public landscapes that the current leadership of the country’s football governing body is corrupt and as such their dealings have plunged Ghana football into the doldrums.
Many Ghanaians, based on radio and TV commentary strongly hold the perception that several GFA officials engage in acts of bribery, match manipulations and that the only way forward is to cause the current leadership under Kwesi Nyantakyi to relinquish power.
In recent past, campaigns have been run to upstage the current FA leadership which have yielded no success.
Speaking in an organised engagement with media persons from across the nation at the Flag Staff house earlier on Wednesday, President Akuffo Addo said “my understanding is that the football association by FIFA rules, by all rules is supposed to be an independent organisation”.
“And that those who are involved in the football administration in the country will deal with the issues of mismanagement”.
President Akuffo Addo also believes football matters should be handled by the respective football
He said “if there is mismanagement, I don’t believe its an area where the government should intervene to sort things out if things need to be sorted
He additionally stated that ” those in the industry, those in the sector, those in football are the ones who are meant to deal with football issues and my understanding is that this is the basic rule that FIFA is very insistent; on that there should be no executive interference”.
The president’s response will unsurprisingly draw divided opinions across the football space in the country.

The Google parent company Alphabet has felt the effects of the global economic slowdown and the strong dollar. In the past quarter, quarterly profit fell from 18.5 to 16 billion dollars year-on-year, as the US technology group announced last night after the US stock market closed.
Growth more and more subdued
Sales climbed 13 percent to just under $69.7 billion. The revenue growth rate declined for the fourth consecutive quarter, falling to its lowest level in two years. Google CFO Ruth Porat nevertheless spoke of “solid” numbers. She pointed out that currency-adjusted revenues had increased by 16 percent.
The strong dollar had cost Google three percentage points of sales growth. Porat warned that investors would have to brace themselves for an "even stronger headwind" in the current year. The US dollar is currently trading at a 20-year high.
Advertising business is still going well
The advertising business stood out positively in the balance sheet: the most important area of the Google group grew by 11.6 percent to 56.3 billion dollars in a year-on-year comparison. The Internet giant defied the deteriorating market conditions: In view of the high inflation and the weakening economy, a downturn in online advertising spending had recently become apparent as companies put the brakes on costs.
When classifying the figures, it is also important to consider a base effect. Google's chief financial officer, Ruth Porat, emphasized that every apparent weakness is based not least on a comparison with the strong figures from the previous year. A year ago, Google benefited significantly from the home office trend, with revenues jumping 62 percent at the time.
Google stock in demand
Investors reacted with relief to the presentation of the balance sheet figures. Alphabet, Google's parent company, jumped 3.5 percent in after-hours trading. However, the paper had already lost around 27 percent this year and thus more than the S&P 500.
The positive market reaction is also due to the market expectations, which had already fallen sharply in advance. Analysts had expected a weak quarter and have recently reduced their forecasts further and further in view of growing fears of a US recession and disappointing figures from smaller tech companies such as Snap.
Microsoft increases profits and sales
In contrast to Google, the market reaction to Microsoft's quarterly figures, which were also presented yesterday evening, was initially negative. Microsoft shares initially fell three percent in after-hours trading, but were then able to turn positive. Microsoft had increased its net income in the fourth business quarter to 16.7 billion dollars after previously almost 16.5 billion.
Revenue increased 12 percent to $51.9 billion. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase in sales amounted to 16 percent. Microsoft generates more than half of its revenue outside the US and is therefore more dependent on the development of the dollar. Corona lockdowns in China, burdens from the Ukraine war and the recently weak PC market also made business difficult.
The quarterly figures from Facebook owner Meta, which will be published tonight after the US stock market close, should cause as much excitement as the figures from Microsoft and Google. Analysts fear the first decline in sales in the history of the social media group.

Word around the rumor mill has been that Nintendo was working on a dumbed down Wii console. A Best Buy ad has confirmed such rumors and we’ll be seeing the launch of a Wii Mini come December.
The hardware redesign features a top-loading disc drive and a sleek glossy red and matte black finish, with a red Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck packed in. Now before you rush to camp out, there are a few things of note. Yes, the console is smaller, and retailing at $99.99 it is certainly cheaper, but there are several caveats. First of all, in a bid to be more “family friendly” it lacks any internet connection, meaning whoever buys this won’t be able to play games online, shop for Virtual Console games, or use the other online features the other versions of the Wii tout.
“There are games in the Wii library for every type of player,” said Ron Bertram, Nintendo of Canada’s vice president and general manager. “Wii Mini is a great gift for the holidays that brings everyone in the family together to play. Wii Mini has a mini price, but it’s all about big fun.”
Secondly, it won’t be able to play GameCube games, a functionality that was actually taken out last year with the release of the “Wii Family Edition.”
If you’re looking to get a Wii Mini, you may have to import it; Nintendo says it’s exclusive to Canada, at least for now.


NBC News posted a video today of a UFO sighting over Prince Edward Island in Canada. The video was originally taken soon after Christmas of 2012.
The witnesses, Mary and Tony Quigley, noticed the strange object and videotaped it. Their initial suspicion was that it was a weather balloon. However, local meteorologists at a nearby weather station said that it was too late in the day to be one of theirs. They suggested that it was a contrail from a jet.
The Quigleys were not the only people to witness a UFO over Prince Edward Island that evening, NBC reports that there were multiple UFO sightings.

Second Example: the Persian Iwan (Hall) in al-Mada’in or Ctesiphon
The other example where the early Muslims fully availed themselves of, or even shared, an existing architectural legacy that belonged to the non-Muslim local population of a territory newly opened to Islam is as follows. When in the year 637 AC/16 H the Muslims opened to Islam (fath) the Persian capital al-Mada’in, or Ctesiphon, in Iraq, they used without much repugnance its great Iwan (Hall), which was part of a royal White Palace, as their mosque in spite of some paintings and statues decorating it. The paintings and statues, which included men and horses, were done away with much later. According to K.A.C. Creswell, the decorative paintings were still there in 897 AC/284 H. It was in this Iwan-turned-mosque that the first Jumu’ah or Friday Prayer was performed in Iraq. In it, a pulpit or a minbar was erected for delivering sermons (khutbah) during Friday Prayers and for other communication purposes. The Muslims were requested to perform their Friday Prayers in congregation in the Iwan even if they happened to be as far as in the very centers of their villages.
Although Islam prohibits statues and certain kinds of painting, in this particular situation no immediate change to the existing setting in the Iwan was needed, although it functioned as a communal mosque. Several reasons could be given for this.
To begin with, the Muslims who had just opened al-Mada’in to Islam could not instantly lay down their weapons and start permanently settling down and engaging themselves in a process of comprehensive Islamization of the conquered territories because there existed then some other far more pressing assignments awaiting them, such as the continuation of jihad and fath, defense, security, the welfare of the army as well as the local population, etc. First things and the most urgent ones, thus, were to come first. In the meantime, however, the Muslims needed a place for their collective prayers and the other acts of collective worship while staying at al-Mada’in. The Iwan was chosen for the purpose, in all probability, due to its size, former reputation as part of a royal White Palace, strategic location and, having been abandoned, complete emptiness and idleness.
In Islam, by and large, to pray in places with statues and paintings is objectionable (makruh) but not prohibited (haram), especially in cases of emergency. This is so because, normally, no direct contact was made between the statues and images and those who performed their prayers. Moreover, the statues and pictures always remained loathed and drew no reverence whatsoever from the Muslims who were somewhat forced to worship their God where the statues and pictures stood. Whereas fashioning statues and making proscribed paintings is a thing clearly prohibited by Islam, praying as a matter of necessity and emergency where somebody else had created them is a different thing altogether, especially in places where the culprits had been comprehensively defeated and their sway and the sway of their actions had been purged, as in the instance of al-Mada’in and the whole of the Persian territories. Thus, a majority of Muslim scholars were inclined to allow performing prayers in churches, synagogues and temples, particularly under special circumstances.
The far-reaching idea which the Muslims put forth in the incident of al-Mada’in is that leaving the great Iwan intact, which together with the royal White Palace symbolized the Persian polytheistic presence and rule, for as long a period of time as was necessary, yet converting it into a communal mosque, was bound to make the lessons desired to be learned from the fall of Persia far more numerous and valuable, not only for the Muslim army but also for those Muslims who would come afterwards to the place for whatever socio-political, economic or religious reasons. This intent was manifest in the instantaneous reaction of the commander of the Muslim army, Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas, a prominent companion of the Prophet (pbuh), after he had entered the royal White Palace and its Iwan. He had no other words for what had come to pass except the following Qur’anic verses: “How many were the gardens and springs they left behind, and corn-fields and noble buildings, and pleasant things wherein they had taken such delight! Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!” (al-Dukhkhan, 25-28)
Certainly, Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas had many other Qur’anic verses with similar messages to choose from in order to express his emotions and describe what had happened, but by no accident did he choose the quoted verses. The cited Qur’anic verses refer to Pharaoh, the sworn enemy of God, the truth and Prophet Musa (Moses), and the catastrophic end of his cruel reign of which Allah wanted to make a lasting lesson and a tangible reminder to all by saving his body, i.e., not to let it be lost forever in the sea: “This day shall We save you in your body, that you may be a Sign to those who come after you! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs.” (Yunus, 92)
The fall of mighty Persia, its stands to reason, was in so many ways as important for the future of Islam and Muslims as the fall of Pharaoh and his rule for the future of the Children of Israel. The fall of mighty but polytheistic Persia meant that one of the greatest obstacles on the way to freely spreading the truth to mankind has been removed and its abundant resources, including the human resources after the Persians had embraced Islam, were used and employed for the realization of Islam’s universal goals. The great Iwan with all its features stood both as a living testimony and a powerful sign of the triumph of the truth over the falsehood, of monotheism over polytheism. It embodied, furthermore, a historical fact that the Muslims always held in utter contempt those foreign civilizational accomplishments which were founded upon and were imbued with the outright falsehood and non-belief, no matter how outwardly splendid and dazzling they might have been. Such things never appealed not only to the first and most exemplary generations of Muslims who set the highest standards of devoutness and morality, but also to whoever exemplified and lived for the tawhidic (monotheistic) ideals and goals no matter where and in which subsequent era.
This applies to the realm of architecture as well, which Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas and other Muslims were fully aware of. The grandeur of an architectural scheme that is devoid of an appropriate spiritual value and direction will never truly impress a believer who is charged with the same spiritual value and who possesses the same spiritual direction. Just like every other cultural and civilization constituent that clearly opposes the notion of tawhid and the vast body of Islam’s beliefs and practices, a believer will despise such an architecture seeing it as no more than an ostentatious, hollow, profane and deceptive enterprise that needs to be corrected, even if its structural and engineering aspects appear to be at a first glance awe-inspiring. That is why the first Muslims while spreading Islam through the territories of both the Persian and Byzantine empires are not reported to have been really fazed and overwhelmed by what they had come into contact with, particularly in the spheres of art and architecture, never coveting to blindly emulate and walk in the steps of the vanquished adversaries. Having said all this, it must me reiterated yet again that if the first Muslims seldom hesitated to avail themselves of a great many aspects of the architectural legacies of the non-Muslims in the newly conquered regions, that in no way denotes that they genuinely admired those legacies taking them to their heart and subscribing themselves to the ideological coloring that saturated them. They did what they did because such a thing proved the most viable option then. They did it as a matter of necessity and as a part of a carefully devised Islamization strategy.
Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas’s reaction upon setting his foot inside the White Palace and its Iwan could be summed up to have meant, firstly, that he was overwhelmed by how clearly and perfectly Allah’s laws for men function and yet there were still people who were heedless of them; secondly, that he actually somewhat pitied the Persians and their enormous civilizational efforts, which covered the fields of art and architecture too, but which proved futile as they failed to attain the real objectives of life; and thirdly, that he was glad that the Muslims were made to inherit the Persians and their worldly riches, and the truth to inherit the falsehood, setting thus the things in al-Mada’in and in the rest of the Persian territories right once and for all. The Muslims’ using of the great Iwan as their mosque and their instant utilization of some suitable Persian civilizational achievements, but for some different spiritual purposes, were the first steps in that process of setting the things right. Those first steps that deliberately lacked rigidity, prejudice and fanaticism, while displaying simplicity, forbearance and open-mindedness, entailed some of the strongest and easy for non-Muslims to understand lessons about the character of the Islamic call, about the reasons for the Muslim emergence on the world scene, and about the Muslim civilizational aspirations. There was a profound lesson on how Islam views the phenomenon of built environment too, that is, a view which integrates the simplicity, intensity and profundity of the Islamic worship with the sophistication of human instinctive and cultural needs and aspirations, which integrates the comprehensive and universal Islamic outlook with the localism of indigenous cultures, geographies and environments, and which integrates the exigencies of man’s heavenly assignments on earth with those of his worldly interests and wellbeing.
Finally, because they remained short of grasping the essence of Islamic art and architecture, in general, and because they remained short of grasping the essence of the incident in al-Mada’in where the Muslims used the Iwan with its statues and pictures as a mosque, in particular, some scholars used the latter episode as an underlying case in point while irresponsibly deducing that Islam unreservedly allows painting, including the representations of humans.

In geography, physical features refer to landforms (mountains, deserts, fertile plains, etc.) and large bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.). These formidable features can isolate and protect people in a particular area
and their culture or connect and provide opportunties for trade and attacks. Great civilizations of the past provide diverse examples of isolation or connections to other
lands due to the physical characteristics of the land that allowed them to thrive and flourish.
Mountains are high and steep stretches of land formed by either plate tectonics or volcanoes that tower over the land. The more high and steep the mountains, the harder it is for people to cross and the greater the barrier it is
between groups of people. This isolates people on either side of the mountain range and results in the creation of very different cultures. Thus, mountain ranges typically act as boundaries of different culture regions.
Deserts have very little precipitation, which affects the amount of water resources and results in little to no vegetation growing in the area. Where water and food are scarce, animals and people struggle to survive, so like
mountains, deserts act as a barrier between cultures. People in desert regions are separated from each other and travel is difficult, so cultures vary greatly from area to the next.
The term plains refers to flat or relatively flat land. Fertile plains have a consistent source of water that allows for vegetation to grow and thrive. This promotes the settlement of people and allows for easy travel within the
plains region. This facilitates the formation of a relatively homogenous culture as people trade and share technology throughout the land.
A river is a waterway that flows towards a larger waterway. Rivers provide a means of transportation between geographic areas. While travel along the river promotes trade and connects areas along the rivers, depending on the size of the river, it can also isolate people and cultures on opposite sides of the river. The larger the river, the
more cultural diversity exists. Therefore, rivers help connect people and isolate people depending on the size and navigability of the river.
Lakes are large bodies of water that are relatively still compared to rivers and oceans. They are smaller in size than oceans and are typically freshwater. They are fed eit
her by rivers or by melting snow from the mountains. Since they are relatively still, they are easier to navigate than rivers. Although, depending on the size, they can provide can still provide a formidable barrier between peoples and cultures.
Oceans are the largest bodies of water in the world and consist of 2/3 of the planet's surface. Since they are so immense, oceans provide great barriers between peoples and cultures. Therefore, oceans provide opportunites for
great cultural diversity across the Earth.

What Are the Key Events in the Career of Sun Yixian?
The key events in the career of Sun Yixian (or Sun Yat-sen) were his exile as a result of coup plotting, his election as the first president of the Republic of China and his election as the first leader of Kuomintang. History remembers him as a revolutionary and the father of modern China.
Sun Yixian was born in 1866. He studied as a doctor and started practicing before becoming involved in revolutionary activities. This began in earnest in 1894, and resulted in his exile for 19 years in 1895. He spent time in Europe, Japan and the United States, before being able to return to China in 1911. This was after a successful coup that ended the monarchy.
On his return he was elected the provisional president of the Republic of China. This is why he is known as the father of modern China – he was essentially its first president. The leadership of the country was taken over by Yuan, who turned the office into a dictatorship. Sun Yixian tried unsuccessfully to overthrow him, and ended up in Japan again reorganizing the Kuomintang. He returned to China in 1917 and was then elected to president of the Kuomintang in 1919, a position that he kept until 1925, the year of his death.

GUANGZHOU, ChinaWhen it comes to alleviating the pain from a hangover, people usually reach for a couple of aspirin and a strong cup of coffee; however, there may be a new cure in the form of Sprite, according to a new study published in the journal Food & Function.
Chinese researchers at Sun Yat-Sen University conducted a study to determine which beverage was best to combat hangovers, and concluded Sprite outperformed the rest in relieving adverse alcohol-related symptoms, including nausea and headache.
When compared with 57 beverages, Sprite was deemed the best beverage to alleviate hangover symptoms and lead to a speedy recovery. When people drink an alcoholic beverage, the body undertakes a two-step process to deal with the alcohol. First, an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) begins breaking the alcohol down into acetaldehyde, then another enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), breaks it down further into acetate
Researchers note that acetaldehyde causes the brain to swell leading to hangover pain. The team said chemicals that cause an increase in ALDH should help alleviate the problem by getting rid of the acetaldehyde fasterbefore it can cause brain swelling. But rather than working up a new drug, they looked at commercially available beverages to find out if any of them might do so naturally. They evaluated 57 types of beverages herbal infusion, tea and carbonated beverageson alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities. They found Sprite (called Xue bi in China) performed the best because the carbonated drink promoted the rapid break-down of acetaldehyde and to minimize hangover symptoms.
Interestingly, a study published in the Journal of Food Science suggests amino acids and minerals found in asparagus extract may alleviate alcohol hangover and protect liver cells against toxins.

Most Beautiful Latina Women In The World
The most gorgeous and beautiful Latinas in Hollywood include women that are well-known for their exotic looks that have managed to captivate audiences worldwide. These famous ladies from Europe, the United States, and Latin America are all very proud of their Latina heritage. Here is a list of some of the most stunning Latina women in the world.
– Sofia Vergara
Sofia Vergara is a highly desirable figure in Hollywood, and she works hard to maintain this reputation. The famous star from Modern Family has admitted that she hates the gym, but she also knows that maintaining her shape is essential. She says that she psychologically tricks herself into believing that keeping in shape forms a part of her job. Once she is done, she is delighted that she did, since she feels so good.
– Jennifer Lopez
This wouldn’t be the “most beautiful Latin women in the world” list without Jennifer Lopez, the first Latina named People magazine’s “Most Beautiful” in 2011. Since her first role, where she starred in the Selena biopic, Jennifer has continued to wow audiences worldwide with her unbelievable beauty and curvy body. Similar to fine wines, Lopez seems just to get better as she ages.
– Victoria Justice
Star of Nickelodeon’s hit series Victorious, Victoria Justice is not one of those beauties known for wearing a lot of makeup. This half-Puerto Rican actress and singer, who also starred in Fun Size, states that she prefers a more “effortless appearance”. She once told Self magazine that she likes a close to no-makeup look. She admits that she wears waterproof mascara, blush, with sheer-finish lip color, and she is done. The star quickly pulls off laid-back and natural beauty.
– Eva Longoria
Longoria appeared on the magazine cover for GQ Mexico in lingerie, showing off her exquisite figure and looks. Eva is known for her fascinating face and her bodacious body. Yet, it is her funny and infectious personality that has made this former Desperate Housewives star really stand out. Longoria tells GQ Mexico that “Beauty lies mainly above all in personality and not in the skin”. And many of her fans are in firm agreement with this statement.
– Arlenis Sosa
Known for her model beauty, this Dominican model has captured the runway from Milan to New York in many highly acclaimed fashion shows. Arlenis was one of those instant hits in the fashion industry, and within two weeks of being signed, this beauty was already booked for editorials for Vogue Italia and Vogue. In one of her interviews, she states that Anna Wintour sent her to the Met Ball, in the first week of arriving in New York. Sosa goes onto say, “I felt like Cinderella”.
“Hips Don’t Lie” Shakira definitely deserves a place on this list as one of the hottest Latino’s of all time. From her very first English video, “Whenever, Wherever”, to one of the more recent dance-tastic clips, “Get It Started” with Pitbull, this Colombian superstar exudes sensuality with all her jaw-dropping gyrations, leaving men’s hearts racing.
– Penelope Cruz
Known as the “Spanish enchantress”, Penelope Cruz is one of those stunners that is known for her gorgeous looks that can stop most men in their tracks. It makes sense that this Oscar-winning star is a “muse” to directors such as Woody Allen and Pedro Almodóvar. But there is much more to Penelope than just her naturally beautiful pout lips. This starlet has admitted that she is much happier in her 30s than she was in her 20s. This authentic, sexy, and complex woman is similar to the character that she plays in Volver, which is a role that led to her very first Academy Award nomination.
– Jessica Alba
Flawless is one of the best ways to describe Jessica Alba’s beauty. Whether photographed by the Paparazzi or gracing a famous magazine cover, this stunning Mexican-American never disappoints. She can thank her mother for some of her good looks. She often states that her mother told her she must invest in a daily moisturizing and cleansing routine. She also says that regardless of how tired she might be, she continually cleanses and moisturizes as she wakes up in the morning and before she goes to bed at night.
– Zoë Saldaña
Zoë Saldaña may be strikingly beautiful, but she is actually a “confessed” guy’s girl. Not many people would know unless you have watched her in Colombiana an action film. Zoë trained six hours every day for around 3 months before filming. Her exercise routine included martial arts, core moves, light weights, and cardio. She states that physical roles provide her with the opportunity to learn new things.
– Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek is still incredibly beautiful, and she is also one of those beauties that don’t believe in Botox or injections. The Mexican actress also admits she is not one of the “skinny girls”, and she is happy about that. She even says, ” I am at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I am also happy at all times”. She does add that you must have an “alarm number”. Once you have reached that number, you need to take action to “put it in reverse”.
– Eva Mendes
With that attention-grabbing mole, plump lips, and piercing eyes, Eva Mendes is undoubtedly a bombshell. Steeve Daviault, a makeup artist, once said that Mendes has strong and striking features that make it fun and easy to create many different looks.
– Demi Lovato
The fresh-faced former starlet of Disney continues to turn heads thanks to her fashion choices, makeup, and eye-catching hair on The X Factor. She is also very open about the struggles she used to face with bullying and eating disorders. In 2011, after finally going for professional help, Lovato managed to return stronger and more confident, serving as an inspiration to many young girls worldwide.
– Francia Raisa
You may know her for her role as the seductive, sultry, and always glamorous Adrian on ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager”, but as soon as she is off the camera, Francia definitely embraces her natural beauty. She has admitted in interviews that her mom taught her that when you are focused on being as natural as you can, people tend to resonate with your “true” beauty. She also states that if you wear loads of makeup daily when there is a special occasion to dress up, it won’t be surprising anymore for the people around you.
– Roselyn Sanchez
There is nothing to be ashamed of in former Without a Trace star Roselyn Sanchez’s game. This striking Puerto Rican singer and actress that also plans to star in Lifetime’s Devious Maids is not bothered that she is often referred to as a “sex symbol”. She once told Maxim that there is nothing to worry about people thinking you are beautiful and sexy. She also says that it is not that important to keep hearing, “Oh my God, she is so hot,” but rather, “She is great at what she does”. But if she hears both, then that’s even better.
– Paula Garces
Garces is one of those beautiful bombshells that literally turns heads wherever she goes. This Colombian actress, best known for a role that she played as a no-nonsense police officer Tina Hanlon on a popular TV show known as The Shield, is stunningly beautiful. She is also extremely fit, which may make you wonder why she works tirelessly to stay tight and toned? Well before she became an actress Paula Garces, was once an avid personal trainer and talented kickboxer. Today, she is once again focused on helping many people shed the pounds, yet she definitely still gets her fair share of male counterparts’ attention.
– Alessandra Ambrosio
It comes as no surprise that Alessandra Ambrosio is well-known as Victoria’s Secret Angel. This exquisitely beautiful Brazilian supermodel is one fine heavenly specimen. It is also no wonder that Ambrosio is recognized on the lists of the sexiest women in the world, even after she gave birth to 2 children. On one of the brand’s televised annual fashion shows, she donned Victoria’s Secret’s $2.5 million “The Floral Fantasy Bra”, only two months after giving birth to her second baby.
– Carlotta Elektra Bosch
Born in Barcelona to a Catalan father and Castilian mother, this beauty fearlessly moved to New York to pursue her dream to become an actress. Soon after her move to New York, she was approached by one of the popular modeling agencies that provided her with commercial work and print to finance her studies. Today she still constantly travels between Europe and the USA while performing in many productions in Spanish and English.
There is no shortage of women to make this list, however we couldn’t include all of them. These celebrities may be out of your league, so to speak, however that doesn’t mean you can’t find a beautiful latin women yourself! Mexico, Colombian, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, and many more countries around the world have millions of women who look just like these in the list!
And they aren’t just beautiful, they are charming, charismatic, energetic, and lots of other great characteristics that you would want. It can be difficult to just meet someone in person, by chance. Like walking through the grocery store and starting up a conversation or someone spilling coffee on you while walking out of Starbucks.
However, there are more sure ways to meet someone, such as using Latin dating sites online. These sites are tailored specifically to the man who wants to find a Latin beauty. And since these sites are niche specific, it’s easier to find, connect, and build a relationship with the woman of your dreams.

CYP2C19 is an important member of the cytochrome P-450 enzyme superfamily and plays a significant role in the drug metabolism. In order to gain insights for developing personalized drugs, the structure-activity relationships of two SNPs, W120R and I331V, with the ligands of CEC, Fluvoxamine, Lescol and Ticlopidine were investigated through the structure-activity relationship approach. By means of a series of docking studies, the binding pockets of the two SNPs for the four compounds are explicitly defined that will be very useful for conducting mutagenesis studies, providing insights into personalization of drug treatments and stimulating novel strategies for finding desired personalized drugs.

Mentally Stimulating Activities (MSAs) to Treat Apathy in Early Stage Alzheimer's Disease
Linda L. Buettner, Ph.D.
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Greensboro, North Carolina
2009 Investigator-Initiated Research Grant
Apathy (the loss of motivation) is the most common neuropsychiatric symptom in mild to moderate stages of Alzheimer's, and it increases in severity as the dementia progresses. Apathy is complex to treat since it is often mixed with other behaviors, and evidence shows pharmacological therapies are not particularly effective in managing symptoms.
People with Alzheimer's disease who have apathy require more management and support due to their reliance on others to schedule their activities and initiate tasks even when they are still physically capable of performing them. Studies have shown that apathy was consistently associated with more severe functional impairments, more severe cognitive deficits and higher levels of burden and distress in caregivers.
Based on preliminary work, Linda L. Buettner and colleagues believe that they can reduce symptoms of apathy and improve functional outcomes for individuals with early stage Alzheimer's by using a mentally stimulating activity (MSA) intervention program. The researchers hypothesize that finding interventions to address apathy symptoms during the early stages of Alzheimer's could help maintain function, improve outcomes during treatment, reduce related behavioral symptoms and improve quality of life for families.

National Human Rights Museum on Green Island officially opened
Taipei, The National Human Rights Museum at White Terror Memorial Park on Green Island, Taitung County, was officially opened on Thursday, with President Tsai Ing-wen (???) vowing to promote international exchange and foreign relations based on Taiwan’s respect for human rights.
Tsai presided over the official opening of the museum to mark the 67th anniversary of political prisoners from Taiwan first being incarcerated on Green Island on May 17, 1951.
Accompanied by Minister of Culture Cheng Li-chiun (???), Tsai inspected a wall inscribed with names of political prisoners and later watched performances by Shin Sing Elementary School choir from Taitung County and members of the Tsai Jui-yueh Dance Research Institute.
More than 80 people, including surviving political prisoners and relatives of those who have since passed away, attended the event.
“The opening of this museum allows more people to understand how much the older generation endured during the White Terror period,” Tsai said in her speech. “Through this museum, we hope the younger generation will realize the importance of freedom and continue to strive for human rights from the lessons learned through history.”
Tsai also expressed hope that human rights education will be further promoted within government agencies and that the museum, which occupies the site of a prison that housed political prisoners during the authoritarian period, will serve as a platform to show the rest of the world that Taiwan is not afraid to reflect on its history.
According to Cheng, the transitional justice promotion committee, set to be officially established on May 20, will in concert with local governments launch a human rights education network, with projects designed to breathe new life into locations formerly used to violate human rights across the country.
The period immediately following the Feb. 28 Incident in 1947, during which political dissidents were suppressed, imprisoned and killed, is known as the “White Terror” era. It lasted until the lifting of martial law in 1987.
The 228 Incident refers to a brutal crackdown by the Kuomintang government, headed by Chiang Kai-shek (???), after an anti-government uprising in 1947. The crackdown, which continued into May that year, left an estimated 18,000-28,000 people dead, according to government figures.

Media articles are coming thick and fast and now it’s the turn of what some call the Alternative Media to focus on the impending UAM revolution.
The Epoch Times is the latest to publish such a feature under the heading, ‘Southern California Hyundai Headquarters to Develop Flying Taxis’. Hyundai’s Supernal eVTOL is the focus.
The first query is this comment: “Southern California residents could see flying taxis soar across the sky as early as 2028.” Perhaps for Supernal, but surely not for other eVTOL companies like Archer who are aiming to begin services in that area of the U.S as early as 2024.

Staff at the New Zealand headquarters of American-owned Canadian-listed 2degrees are leaving Newmarket for new purpose-built premises in Auckland's central business district next year.
Mark Aue, the telco's chief executive, and Culum Manson of developers Mansons TCLM announced the shift of more than 600 staff today.
The telco is leaving 47-49 George St for the seven-level office block at 136 Fanshawe St across from the Viaduct Basin. A 2degrees spokesperson said the business had been in the Newmarket offices since 2015.
"We've outgrown where we are, not just in size but in the maturity of the company," Aue said. "Our new home should reflect our position in the market as we continue to grow."
• 2degrees caught cheating with broadband tests
• 2degrees admits some mobile customers taking a speed hit
• Premium - 5G wars: Analyst sees scenario where Chorus buys 2degrees' network
• 2degrees makes after-hours switch-off permanent - but there's one staff complaint
Carparking spaces for staff are understood to drop from around 50 in Newmarket to around 25 in town.
"There will be a reduction in carparks at the new site compared to the current, which is for use by a mix of visitor, staff and company vehicles. We are working through the exact numbers in the coming months and we think it will be around a third of what we currently have," the spokesperson said.
Manson welcomed the telco to the new block under construction on the former House of Haghi rug sale site next to the four-building Spark campus which Mansons also developed.
The 6-Green Star rated block was near public transport, gyms and restaurants, Manson said.
The telco has leased 5200sq m, or a quarter of the building, taking space on levels two and three, he said.
The 20,000sq m building has two wings with an interconnecting double-height atrium. Two foyers will give access to two lift banks. Floor plans are 1900sq m to 3600sq m.
Mark Knoff-Thomas, Newmarket Business Association chief executive, said today: "I'm sorry to see 2degrees leave this area. They've been very supportive of the business community here but there is constant evolution and movement in this business precinct."
Newmarket vacancy rates were low and redevelopment work running at high levels, with work in lower Carlton Gore Rd set to bring in an extra 1000 office workers, he said.
Government agency Kāinga Ora would also move hundreds of staff into Newmarket when it relocated, he said.
Aue said: "This new building will help our people work together more productively and creatively. We have a special culture here at 2degrees, and this building – and how it will allow us to transform how we work - will elevate that."
The block is due for completion in late winter next year.
A new pedestrian walkway with landings is being built as part of the project, linking Hardinge St/Graham St to Fanshawe St.
Asset Plus bought 35 Graham St on the ridge above 136 Fanshawe St and its chief Mark Francis said this month an extra three extra levels or 13,000sq m would be added, giving office space for hundreds more workers.

Montana meat processors eligible for federal funding
Montana meat processors are now eligible for funding through the Montana Meat Processing Infrastructure Grant. With an available $2 million in federal funding, the grant will help meat processing businesses that have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. The Montana Department of Agriculture and Department of Livestock will be working together to ensure projects follow meat processing rules and regulations.
HELENA, Mont. – Meat processors of small and medium-size are now eligible for funding through the Montana Meat Processing Infrastructure Grant. The grant, announced last week by Gov. Steve Bullock as part of aid for businesses negatively impacted by COVID-19, would help support the expansion and infrastructure of the current meat processing industry.
“With increased demand on both the national supply chain and our local food systems, it’s time to invest in in-state meat processing,” said Ben Thomas, director of Montana Department of Agriculture. “These grants give our producers an opportunity to shift their operations, so they can access new markets, and we can keep quality Montana raised meat here in Montana.”
There is an available $2 million in funding, with a maximum award of $150,000, from the federal government which was allotted to Montana through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Possible projects eligible for funding include, but are not limited to, equipment and infrastructure that increase processing and/or storage capacity, costs associated with becoming state or federally inspected, slaughter floor enhancement, and other business adaptation and diversification activities related to local meat processing. The Montana Department of Agriculture and Department of Livestock will be working together to ensure projects follow meat processing rules and regulations.
Applications will be accepted until July 2, 2020. For more information on the MT Meat Infrastructure Grant, eligibility requirements, application procedures and the award process, visit https://www.covidreliefmt.org/submit .

Towards a monolithically integrated III–V laser on silicon: optimization of multi-quantum well growth on InP on Si
High-quality InGaAsP/InP multi-quantum wells (MQWs) on the isolated areas of indium phosphide on silicon necessary for realizing a monolithically integrated silicon laser is achieved. Indium phosphide layer on silicon, the pre-requisite for the growth of quantum wells is achieved via nano-epitaxial lateral overgrowth (NELOG) technique from a defective seed indium phosphide layer on silicon. This technique makes use of epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELOG) from closely spaced (1 µm) e-beam lithography-patterned nano-sized openings (~300 nm) by low-pressure hydride vapor phase epitaxy. A silicon dioxide mask with carefully designed opening patterns and thickness with respect to the opening width is used to block the defects propagating from the indium phosphide seed layer by the so-called necking effect. Growth conditions are optimized to obtain smooth surface morphology even after coalescence of laterally grown indium phosphide from adjacent openings. Surface morphology and optical properties of the NELOG indium phosphide layer are studied using atomic force microscopy, cathodoluminescence and room temperature µ-photoluminescence (µ-PL) measurements. Metal organic vapor phase epitaxial growth of InGaAsP/InP MQWs on the NELOG indium phosphide is conducted. The mask patterns to avoid loading effect that can cause excessive well/barrier thickness and composition change with respect to the targeted values is optimized. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscope studies show that the coalesced NELOG InP on Si is defect-free. PL measurement results indicate the good material quality of the grown MQWs. Microdisk (MD) cavities are fabricated from the MQWs on ELOG layer. PL spectra reveal the existence of resonant modes arising out of these MD cavities. A mode solver using finite difference method indicates the pertinent steps that should be adopted to realize lasing.

At this years’s ECOC exhibition, to be held in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, from 23rd-25th September, laser and motion control solutions specialist Aerotech will be showing its automated dual system for optical alignment. Demonstrations will show how optic fibre components with two 3-axes alignment levels and firmware-based alignment algorithms can be aligned with sub-micrometre precision. In this case, all functions can be controlled intelligently via Aerotech’s A3200 motion controller. The alignment process is visualized in real time by a high definition camera coupled with a digital output for optical power distribution.
Aerotech will also be presenting its photonics alignment system FiberMaxHP for optoelectronics at ECOC, based on tried and tested high performance ANT nanopositioners. In high-volume manufacturing, FiberMaxHP can be used to align and test optoelectronic devices and photonics components with sub-micrometre tolerances. The precision mechanics are coupled with the A3200 motion controller, which features low latency and defined optical alignment algorithms. As a result, all automation processes can be programmed through a single control interface. “While alignment tolerances in new silicon photonics devices go down, high-speed and high-precision alignment become more important,” Simon Smith, European Director at Aerotech, explains. “With our photonics alignment system FiberMaxHP, we position ourselves at applications on the nanoscale, both in research and industrial environments.”
Contactless direct drive technology ensures extremely precise alignment with minimal incremental movements of up to 2 nm at speeds of up to 400 mm/s without negatively affecting production throughput. According to Aerotech, users whose processes require repeatable and highly accurate alignment of optical components will discover this alignment system to be the perfect equipment for this job.
Aerotech Inc., headquartered in Pittsburgh, USA. is a private, family-owned, mid-sized company. Founded in 1970 by Stephen J. Botos, Aerotech designs and manufactures the world’s most powerful motion control and positioning systems for industrial, scientific and research customers. In Germany, the medium-sized company is represented by its own subsidiary, Aerotech GmbH, headquartered in Fürth near Nuremberg, Franconia. In addition to sales and service activities, the Fürth office is also responsible for the customized assembly of positioning systems for the European market. Aerotech also has full-service offices in Ramsdell, United Kingdom, Shanghai City, China and Taipei City, Taiwan. The company currently employs approximately 500 people worldwide.

Adventure is a given at Sacha Lodge
Discover the Amazon with our activities
Adventure is a given at Sacha Lodge, and all guests, from those happy to relax in their own comfort zone to the most intrepid will be reap tremendous rewards from our spectrum of activities. The water is the thread that links each experience: you’ll become an expert at hopping in and out of the canoe and manning the oars, and will come to love the surreal peacefulness of paddling down streams through virgin wilderness. Expedition groups are never larger than six, and are always accompanied by a naturalist guide and a local guide. We strive to match guests with others of similar ages, interests and abilities in expedition groups.
Canopy Walk – A walkway on the wild side
Imagine crossing the rainforest across a bridge 94 feet (36 meters) high over the treetops. This 940-foot (275-meter) sturdy walkway is fixed to the ground by three metal towers, and offers an astounding opportunity to spot dozens of animals and epiphytes seldom seen from the ground, immersed in the canopy. You might even follow along with troops of monkeys as they forage through the forest canopy. And if you don’t see them, you’ll almost certainly hear them: howler monkeys roaring through the sunset like true kings of the jungle.
Kapok Tower – Ready for some epic tree-climbing?
You’ll feel like you’re on the very top of the world on our 135-foot (43-meter) observation tower, a platform built on the highest branches of a giant kapok tree. From here, magnificent, panoramic views of the forest unfold all around, while the 500 species of birds registered in the area, including rainbow-coloured toucans and parrots, become easy to spot. Climb onto the crows’ nest for the 360-degree experience, the captain of the Amazon.
Yasuni Parrot Lick – A show of sound and colour
A short distance from Sacha Lodge is Ecuador’s most accessible parrot lick, an exposed clay riverbank where technicoloured parrots of several different species gather in the early morning. In ideal conditions (sunny and dry) hundreds of parrots will perch on and eat the exposed clay in a spectacular show of sound and colour! The lick is located on the edge of Yasuní National Park, which is accessible from Sacha by a short canoe trip down the Napo River.
The Butterfly House – A live exhibition conservatory
Sacha Lodge is home to one of the largest butterfly farms in Ecuador. Designed as a live exhibition conservatory, the Butterfly House is now successfully breeding nearly 40 local butterfly species. Guests will be shown how these beautiful insects are bred and raised, and may roam through ‚”the flying room” where hundreds of colourful butterflies flutter from flower to flower. Transparent glass-wing butterflies, spectacular blue morphs, striking tiger longwings, bright yellow swallowtails and giant nocturnal owl butterflies are only a few of the species you’ll encounter here, up close and personal.
Forest Walks – Walk into a world abuzz with life
Creeping along the jungle paths through the spotlights of sun filtering down through the canopy, careful not to tread on an army of marching ants, your nature guide will point out plants and insects and the fascinating symbiosis between them. He might take you through the territory of the crested owls or spider monkeys, expertly mimicking the creatures’ call to win their trust and coax them out of hiding. When darkness falls, have your flashlight ready to spot creatures of the night, from tarantulas and boas to stick insects and frogs.
Creek Paddling – The water is the thread that links each experience
Besides being your means of transport between expeditions, creek paddling in dug-out canoes is a fabulous adventure in itself, with the bonus that it requires little physical exertion. Paddling down the streams is like entering into a tunnel leading to a lost world. Birds call in surround-sound and vast families of monkeys leap from branches overhead, a show to coincide with the setting of the sun.
Caiman spotting by night – A magical adventure lit by glittering stars
A night-time expedition to look for caiman on the lake is perhaps the most magical experience of an adventure already filled with wonder. Under cover of darkness, you will take a canoe out onto the water, your way lit by glittering stars. The eyes of the caiman glow ghoulishly red in the torchlight, as the amphibious creatures float along the swampy shallows.
Birdwatching – Spotting exotic, technicolored birds is child’s play here
Of the incredible 1,600 bird species registered in Ecuador, 600 (37 percent) have been seen at Sacha Lodge. That’s almost 7 percent of the species found in the entire world!
For avid birdwatchers, we can provide specialist bird guides, who know the best spots for the hard-to-find species, and can easily identify species by both sight and sound. Oscar Tapuy, our local expert who has been with at Sacha since 1995, estimates that he spots 60 species per day on average. Your guide will lead you through a variety of habitats where mixed flocks are common, and generally begin before sunrise to take full advantage of the morning peak. Our guides carry telescopes, and have become dab-hands at taking photos with your camera or phone through the lense!
Visit the Providencia Community of Yasuni – Learn about the community’s
Our visit takes us to Shipati Warmi project, an initiative run by and benefiting the women of the Providencia community of Yasuní. Through an unobtrusive dialogue, we learn about their day-to-day lives: how they dry clothes in the jungle and the challenges of getting to school, before helping to prepare and trying traditional food. It’s an intimate, unique experience, in which we discover both the differences and similarities between our own and another culture. The Shipati Warmi project asks that each guest donates $5
Lake Pool – Dive into the black waters of Pilchicocha Lake
Ideal for families, the Lake Pool is the only one of its kind in the Amazon region. The plunge pool, protected by a mesh cage, allows you to cool off and relax in the black shallows of the Pilchicocha Lake, without the fear of encountering the unknown. You could even spot caiman and giant otters swim by the other side of the net…
