text: You play a series of mini-games each day, each lasting a few minutes at most. The scores for these games are combined to give you a 'daily score' and this is compared to previous scores. If the theory of exercising your mental ability holds true, you should see a steady improvement. Rather than progress through a games storyline, you progress in yourself, creating a much better and more rounded person in the process.

Pujya Swami Chinmayananda had a great sense of humour. He would come out with several witty sentences within the span of one satsang. Behind the humour was always a spiritual thought. One felt so happy just being in his presence. In fact, he was the first swami to introduce humour in Vedanta talks. Now, most spiritual speakers follow this trend. Here are some glimpses into Swamiji's humour. The stories have been collected from several devotees, and some of them have been my own experiences with him.
A young lady once asked Swamiji: "Whatever you teach is there in the books. Then what do I need a guru for?" He replied: "Why don't you ask this question to the books?" Books may be there. But teachers are required to explain them and clarify doubts.
Once a devotee, who later became a full time worker of Chinmaya Mission, got a heart attack. When he recovered, he went to meet Swamiji with a glum face, expecting sympathy and concern. The moment he entered the room, Swamiji said: "Welcome to my club." And they both laughed. The heart patient had got more than just sympathy. He got admission to Swamiji's "Heart Club", as Swamiji himself was a heart patient with 17% heart function. The devotee was happy as "heart" in philosophy means the core of one's being — the inner essence.
There was another time when a cardiologist devotee was getting Swamiji checked at a hospital in Philadelphia where he was working. At the same time, a lady gynaecologist was making her rounds. The cardiologist introduced her to Swamiji by saying, "Swamiji, she delivers babies to the world." The gynaecologist asked Swamiji what he did. Swamiji replied: "You deliver to this world and I deliver out of this world." As a teacher of Vedanta, his mission was to liberate people from the thralldom of matter.
Once a young doctor, who had just joined the medical profession, came to get his copy of Bhagwad Gita signed by Swamiji, Swamiji wrote out a prescription for him: "Read two stanzas of the Bhagwad Gita three times a day, for three months. If symptoms persist, repeat the dose!!"
"Hi Swamiji," greeted a young boy. Swamiji explained to the other devotees around him: "He knows my standard is Hi(gh). He is reminding me of my goal." Swamiji always advised that it was necessary to discover a great purpose or goal in life. He used to say: "It should be an ideal that you have chosen according to your heart, not an ideal that somebody has given you. It can be political, economic, anything. It should be that which appeals to you the most. Once you gain that great goal or ideal, apply yourself to it. A new enthusiasm will come to you. When there is enthusiasm, then sincerity, ardour, consistency of purpose and a new column of energy automatically follow in you. The quality of action depends on the ideal, which guides and inspires an individual. A person with no ideal feels fatigued in his work. This fatigue is caused by the strain and stress, which we invite, by craving for indulgence in sense objects and ceaseless expectation of the fruits of our actions. The secret of success, therefore, lies in activities undertaken with a spirit of surrender to an ideal."
Once a social worker came up to Swamiji and asked: "What should I do to change the world?" Swamiji replied: "You change, and the world around you will change."
Swamiji could also apply his humour to himself. He had inaugurated the Chinmaya Mission Hospital in Bangalore in 1970. The next year, he got his first heart attack and was admitted into the same hospital. He remarked: "Earlier I had inaugurated the outpatients ward of the hospital. Now I am inaugurating the inpatients ward."
Once, when Swamiji had gone to a hospital for a cardiac check-up, a devotee commiserated with him over the condition of his heart. "Don't worry," Swamiji told her. "The heart is the only instrument that is guaranteed for life." She was taken aback by his nonchalant attitude.
I was in a lift with Swamiji at a hotel in Taipei, going up for a talk of his. The lift had mirrors on three sides and one could see an infinity of Swamiji's reflections. He laughed and said: "See how the One plays as the many." The entire creation is a manifestation of God. When the talk was over and we were going down, the angle was different and I could see only three reflections. I said: "Swamiji, I cannot see the Infinite you." He replied: "See how the One plays as Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. (The creator, sustainer and destroyer aspects of the one God.)" He was living Vedanta at every moment of his life.
Once a devotee complained to Swamiji in his ashram in Sidhbari, Himachal Pradesh, about me. "Swamiji, it's not fair. Anjali eats so much and never puts on an ounce of weight. Whereas I starve myself to death, and look at my size." Swamiji looked at the people around and announced, "Come everybody and see. She says she is an effect without a cause."
One time, I was trying to take a photograph of Swamiji and he kept sticking his tongue out. "Don't move, Swamiji," I said. He replied: "I never do!" The Atman, or Life-Centre, is a motionless entity. It appears to be moving only when it is conditioned by the mind and functioning as its manifestations.
There was a teenager who asked Swamiji: "What if everyone was like you Swamiji? What if everyone in the world took sanyas and ran away from society? What then?" Swamiji replied: "Try. If it were that easy to renounce, the world would be a happier place."
When I was a teenager, I asked Swamiji how old he was. I said to him that somebody says you are over 60 years old. Swamiji was actually 48 to 50 years old then. He replied: "Age? Blab! I am Unborn. The older they consider me, the nearer they are to the Truth." Reality is called "Purana Purusha" or the "Ancient Enlivener" in the scriptures. The Self is never born, even at the birth of the body. It is already there to illumine that experience. The Self can only remain unborn and changeless. If we accept the causation in the Supreme, then we cannot come to the "first cause", which is in itself uncaused.
It is said in the Bhagwad Gita that when righteousness decays and unrighteous is on the rise, then God incarnates in the world to save the good people. A devotee, referring to this, asked Swamiji: "Why doesn't God incarnate now to save mankind? There are so many criminals and corrupt people around." To this, Swamiji replied: "Why trouble God? For Ravanas like them, we swamis are enough."

Nearly a decade after receiving a new heart, man walks donor's daughter down the aisle
Arthur Thomas, 72, walked Jeni Stepien down the aisle at her recent wedding nearly 10 years after Thomas received a donated heart from Stepien's deceased father, the New York Times reports.
After Michael Stepien, Jeni's father, was murdered in September 2006, his family donated his organs. Thomas, a father of four, received Stepien's heart, which helped him recover from congestive heart failure.

Embrace the Tech Ecosystem to Out-Innovate Competition
By: Amma Gyampo
If you run an established business and are looking to step up your innovation game this year; engage strategically with young local technology innovators and entrepreneurs, a force to reckon with, if you want to integrate technologies built around a deep understanding of our Continent's challenges.
Our collaborators and colleagues in the start-up and tech ecosystem noted some exciting moments in 2017 including mPharma's fundraising round. Their mission: to bring safe, affordable prescription medications to patients across the continent while disrupting traditional pharmaceutical supply chains.
Who can forget the Macron moment when the French president took time out to visit our friends at Impact Hub Accra, the German President stopping by at Accra's innovation co-working community, iSpace and of course, the epic US$24 million Andela fundraise. Foreign investors are truly excited about our local tech and innovation business prospects and so should more of our established local businesses. If we are going to develop home-grown businesses with billion dollar valuations, we all need to pull together, engage and innovate our way to cross-border growth.
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else —Booker T. Washington.
Large companies all over the world are examining how to foster innovation, actively plug into and better support upcoming innovators. "Disrupt or Die" is a common mantra in the tech and innovation space.
A cursory look at the proliferation of FinTech solutions, payment platforms and infrastructure developed by the likes of Visa, Hubtel and ZeePay, for example or the Barclays open innovation programme, RISE, is indicative of the established trend of big players investing resources strategically to access disruptive technologies. Note to Corporate organisations or would-be Angel investors; absolutely make 2018 the year to become au fait and engage directly with local innovators and tech entrepreneurs. We would like to encourage partnering and perhaps re-channelling some of those budgets towards the development of sustainable technology-based businesses developed by local talent for local problems.
Let's hear from some of our finest and more experienced tech innovators on their experiences, recommendations and wish-lists for deeper, strategic collaboration with corporate organisations and investors in 2018.
Emmanuel Noah, Founder of BenBen, a collateral risk assessment and mortgage origination Tech firm which participated in Barclays' Accelerator Program. "Traditional corporates are unable to keep up with the pace of innovation by themselves and should actively mitigate the risk of being left behind through Technology Partnerships. We had the opportunity of leveraging Barclays' immense industry expertise and advisory support which would have cost us tens of thousands of dollars in expenses. At the end of the program we managed to conduct a proof of concept with Barclays Bank Ghana to validate our product. Corporates gain value from engaging with Tech innovators and hedge their risks by running localised pilots to test out new business models and explore new verticals. Barclays and Ecobank Africa have set the stage using this model. It's only a matter of time before others follow suit."
Emmanuel Ansah-Amprofi, COO of Meltwater School of Entrepreneurship and Technology alumni Trotro Tractor, says he'd like to see more direct capital and impact investments to more advanced tech related start-ups with established market or track-record. Corporate institutions in Ghana must take bold steps to work with tech entrepreneurs as many entrepreneurs have the long-term solutions for the challenges established corporates will face in the years ahead. The multiplier effect on development and access to key services will in turn provide competitive advantages to institutional, angel and corporate investors. We have been lucky enough to have corporates like KOSMOS believe in us and support us. It would be great to see more locally owned businesses follow suit."
Asoriba's Nana Prempeh would like to see more established local business leaders "Sit on our boards and direct start-ups on how to grow into a scalable company with the right structures in place. That is one of the most critical things tech start-ups lack that corporates have. We have been fortunate to have some corporates support us in running proof of concept projects which gave us a great opportunity to understand how we could bring value to other partners, as well as for the banks and other clients to input further into the innovation backed by that business input, essential to the broader adoption and commercial success of our tech solutions; a win-win. The support we received from Barclays Bank through their RISE programme also gave us a life line. We continue to develop our solutions and grow the business."
Cecil Nutakor, CEO of EduTech company eCampus: "Corporate companies can provide meaningful opportunities to test innovative business models beyond the usual pitch decks, competitions etc. They can actively pursue policies to award tech enabled businesses contracts, no matter how small the contract. It's the best thing that can happen to an entrepreneur or start-up. It challenges their assumptions with respect to operational costs. Early stage companies often end up under quoting and running out of funds to deliver on contracts. It also enforces financial accounting discipline of start-ups by forcing them to start working with the various tax authorities and filling annual returns."
Edem Dotse, Founder of Swiftly Global: "We are a technology company revolutionising the way the freight forwarding industry works and how people ship goods in and out of Africa. Our mission is to transform the way people connect with the freight industry offering cheaper, "greener", more efficient and timely service." He added, "We cannot underplay the significance of great advisors and mentors, as we are fortunate to have on board. Larger companies can certainly benefit from engaging more with disruptive innovators like us to gain a competitive edge through our technologies."
Innovation Mindset and Culture
To innovate within an established business can be difficult without the right type of culture embedded. Engage with your leadership, your researchers, your sales and admin teams to determine the type of organisational culture you have, benchmark that and take active steps towards creating a culture of openness, transparency, creativity and debate which ultimately foster a more innovative culture within your organisation. "Foreign investors believe in tech companies and are not afraid to try out innovative solutions that we African tech entrepreneurs develop. Conversely, and unfortunately most African businesses normally want to play safe and do not really understand the value that we are already demonstrating in our respective fields of endeavour.
There is nothing like getting out there in the field with potential clients or partners to test and engage new solutions. Ghanaian companies should actively open up to give tech entrepreneurs commercial opportunities" Paul Damalie, CEO of Inclusive Technologies shared. "We have had foreign clients give us a chance purely based on seeing the potential our solutions offer. It's a deep understanding of the future and a mindset of innovation that they have which sets them apart and keeps them surging forward. They believe in our technical capabilities and local knowledge of the African market."
Our own business leaders should certainly believe and support our budding tech moguls; paying it forward whenever the opportunity arises and leading strategically while doing that.
Demand Follows Demand
Start-ups with a track record of having served corporate clients boost investor confidence as they can demonstrate product- market fit and proof of concept to potential investors. This can only fuel growth in our local entrepreneurship ecosystem. Uber saw several thousand downloads in Accra way before the company's market entry into Ghana. Nutakor adds, "Customers buy when they hear and see others using a product. Start-ups that can demonstrate actual customer demand and spend have a competitive advantage over the competition". This leads to more attractive investment prospects for would-be investors, as well as mutual growth for our larger established companies and entrepreneurial tech companies.

…but often in the Action for Blood Feuds Reconciliation we, as women, had to confront the tradition of the oda [men's chamber]. We were hardly understood sometimes. I shared some of my memories which explain that situation in my book about blood feuds reconciliation as well.
There were cases when we entered the oda and elders would not even extend their hands to us, the meaning of it was that it was not our place, but we had to go to the women's house. Because our friends, with whom we were there, noticed it immediately, in such cases they would be the ones to open the discussion and we would continue it. It is weird, but there were many cases when the elders sat with their legs crossed in the oda, and they always found this position, with their back turned towards us, in order for us to sit behind their backs.
And then, when we talked, explained the mission, and asked for the forgiveness of blood, they would slowly start moving and in the last moment they were in front of us. This, to us as gender, was a great victory, a victory of gender, because they forgot that it was we, the women, who asked for the forgiveness of blood.

My Rural America is an independent, nonprofit news site that shares information from trusted investigative journalists. We choose stories that connect to rural America. These stories, most often about the issues and policies discussed (argued about) in Washington and in State Capitals, are ones most often talked about at the kitchen tables of rural America, and on Facebook and many other social media websites, radio stations and on television.
The difference between the news stories My Rural America shares and all too often, some other news sharing sites is that we do our best to bring our readers documented, truthful information. We also share the sites of other news sites that we believe you can trust, e.g., one of those is ProPublica https://www.propublica.org/about/ which specializes in doing their own investigative journalism.
