Metal Casting in Ghana
The Akan have a rich tradition in metal casting. Brass, copper, gold and iron have been the major metals with which Akan artisans shaped their tools for hunting and war, farming and domestic use, personal adornment, and for use as money. Archaeological evidence from the Begho in the Brong Ahafo Region indicates the presence of iron smelting in the area in the first millennium AD. The work of various archaelogists, notably Oliver Davies and Merrick Posnansky, has shown that smelting was once extensively carried on in parts of of the Akan area. Changes which occurred through the growth of nucleated market centers, and through long distance trade with middle Niger towns such as Jenne resulted in technological innovations in copper and brass casting, and the exploitation and smelting of gold. Warren (1975) hypothesizes that Bron, as the first and northernmost Akan centralized state, must have passed on some of these technological developments to some of the latter-day Akan states (e.g., Asante) that came after Bron. Probably the most common Akan objects cast in brass were gold weights, spoons, kuduo and forowa (so-called "grease containers"), and jewelry.
The casting of brass, silver, copper, and gold appears to have been regarded among the Akan as an occupation entirely distinct from that of the blacksmith. Blacksmiths produced items such swords, knives, matchete, agricultural tools (e. g., axe and hoes) and traps, and door hinges and locks. The goldweights of the Akan are as significant testimonies of the rich gold deposits of West Africa. They were used for measuring gold dust, which was circulating as currency in Ghana and Ivory Coast among the Akan from the 15th until 1912 (in Ghana), in everyday activities � in markets, royal treasuries, and for payments of state taxes and tolls. The royal courts of the Akan people were reportedly the most splendid in Africa. Oral tradition and iconography in Akan works of art are very closely connected. Verbal and visual symbolism tells stories or proverbs. Imagery of royal power on court ornaments carry out messages that helps keep the balance and continuity within the society.
Forowa and kuduo are often confused with each other in the literature on Akan art. Forowa was made from sheet brass while kuduo was cast by melting brass through the lost wax process. Forowa and kuduo have functional and construction distinctions. The first, forowa, is made from hammered, or sheet, brass; its uses are chiefly domestic and personal, among them the storage of shea butter, a vegetable fat used as a cosmetic, as food, and as fuel. The second, kuduo, is made from cast brass. Its uses are mainly ceremonial and ritual, such as for sacrificial offerings, in newborn rites, female puberty celebrations, twins festivals, royal purifications, and funerals. Often filled with gold dust, gold weights, pearls, or other precious items, kuduo was associated with rituals related to the soul and was often buried with the body of the deceased person. The designs on forowa and kuduo are from the large inventory of Akan symbols found in gold weights, wood carvings, architecture, kente and adinkra cloths.
Blacksmiths fashioned agricultural tools and military equipment from iron. Agricultural tools included the hoe, cutlass (machete), knife, axe, and digging tools. Military equipment fashioned by the blacksmith included the spear and the sword - akofena. The akofena incorporates several symbols that relate to leadership. Some of the akofena was gilded with gold leaf and are embossed with various symbols (abosodee).
Gold weights - abrammoo, cast from bronze or copper using the cire perdue method, served the basis for denominating gold dust as money. These weights were not only valued aesthetically, but they were also valued as the depository for certain aspects of the Akan knowledge systems as they served as visual markers for recalling among other things proverbs, historical events, or everyday expressions.
Some gold weights depict the mathematical knowledge of the Akan. The various geometric designs as well as the everyday use of the weights as counter-balances attest to some aspects of the Akan mathematical acumen. Some weights were used as fractions and some were used as counters in calculations that involved numbers in the millions.
Among some ethnic groups especially the Akan of Ghana, traditional jewelry was made of precious metal gold, probably due to the abundance or otherwise of gold in the land (Meyerowitz, 1949). The use of traditional jewelry in the cultural context of the Ghanaian is more than an adornment item. It is a visual representation of history, belief and political thoughts of a people. Each of the symbols in jewelry are denotes from historical events, individual achievements, proverbs, philosophical concepts, oral literature, moral values, social code of conducts, human behavior and certain attributes to plant and animal life (Meyerowitz, 1949).

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) (originally known as the E-PARASITE Act) and its Senate counterpart the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) (originally the Combating Online Infringement and Copyright Act (COICA)) were a series of bills promoted by Hollywood in the US Congress that would have a created a "blacklist" of censored websites. These bills were defeated by an enormous online campaign started by EFF and a handful of other organizations, which culminated in the Internet Blackout on the January 18, 2012.
Although the bills were ostensibly aimed at reaching foreign websites dedicated to providing illegal content, their provisions would allow for removal of enormous amounts of non-infringing content including political and other speech from the Web. The various bills defined different techniques for blocking "blacklisted" sites. Each would interfere with the Internet's domain name system (DNS), which translates names like "www.eff.org" or "www.nytimes.com" into the IP addresses that computers use to communicate. SOPA would also allow rightsholders to force payment processors to cut off payments and advertising networks to cut ties with a site simply by sending a notice.
These bills are targeted at "rogue" websites that allow indiscriminate piracy, but use vague definitions that could include hosting websites such as Dropbox, MediaFire, and Rapidshare; sites that discuss piracy such as pirate-party.us, p2pnet, Torrent Freak, torproject.org, and ZeroPaid; as well as a broad range of sites for user-generated content, such as SoundCloud, Etsy, and Deviant Art. Had these bills been passed five or ten years ago, even YouTube might not exist today — in other words, the collateral damage from this legislation would be enormous.
There are already laws and procedures in place for taking down sites that violate the law. These acts would allow the Attorney General, and even individuals, to create a blacklist to censor sites when no court has found that they have infringed copyright or any other law.

Healing Homes, a feature-length documentary film directed by Daniel Mackler, chronicles the work of the Family Care Foundation in Gothenburg, Sweden -- a program which, in this era of multi-drug cocktails and psychiatric diagnoses-for-life, helps people recover from psychosis without medication. The organization, backed by over twenty years of experience, places people who have been failed by traditional psychiatry in host families -- predominately farm families in the Swedish countryside -- as a start for a whole new life journey. Host families are chosen not for any psychiatric expertise, rather, for their compassion, stability, and desire to give back. People live with these families for upwards of a year or two and become an integral part of a functioning family system. Staff members offer clients intensive psychotherapy and provide host families with intensive supervision. The Family Care Foundation eschews the use of diagnosis, works within a framework of striving to help people come safely off psychiatric medication, and provides their services, which operate within the context of Swedish socialized medicine, for free. Healing Homes weaves together interviews with clients, farm families, and staff members to create both a powerful vision of medication-free recovery and an eye-opening critique of the medical model of psychiatry. -

In the far north of Finland, a stone's throw from the Arctic Circle, a group of innovative family therapists converted the area's traditional mental health system, which once boasted some of Europe's poorest outcomes for schizophrenia, into one that now gets the best statistical results in the world for first-break psychosis. They call their approach Open Dialogue. Their principles, though radical in this day and age of multi-drug cocktails and involuntary hospitalizations, are surprisingly simple. They meet clients in crisis immediately and often daily until the crises are resolved. They avoid hospitalization and its consequential stigma, preferring to meet in the homes of those seeking their services. And, perhaps most controversially, they avoid the use of anti-psychotic medication wherever possible. They also work in groups, because they view psychosis as a problem involving relationships. They include in the treatment process the families and social networks of those seeking their help, and their clinicians work in teams, not as isolated, sole practitioners. Additionally, their whole approach values of the voice of everyone in the process, most especially the person directly in crisis. And finally, they provide their services, which operate within the context of Finnish socialized medicine, for free. Open Dialogue weaves together interviews with psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and journalists to create both a powerful vision of medication-free recovery and a hard-hitting critique of traditional psychiatry. -
By Daniel Mackler In June of 2012, twenty-three people came together to discuss the subject of coming off psychiatric drugs. We were psychiatric survivors, therapists, mental health consumers, family members, and activists, united by a passion for truth-telling. More than half of us had successfully come off psych drugs, including cocktails of antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. What resulted from our three-day gathering was an unforgettable meeting of the minds. This 75-minute documentary (directed by Daniel Mackler) offers a rare glimpse into the world of coming off psych drugs through the eyes of those who have done it. The film presents, among others, Will Hall, author of the world-renowned "Harm Reduction Guide to Coming Off Psychiatric Drugs," Oryx Cohen, director at the National Empowerment Center, Laura Delano, blogger at www.madinamerica.com, and Daniel Hazen, noted psychiatric survivor and human rights activist. Although this documentary is not medical advice, it intends to offer something even better: hope. In a world where increasing numbers of people are put on psychiatric drugs every day, where more than 20 percent of Americans already take them, and where so many are told they need to stay on them for life, COMING OFF PSYCH DRUGS offers proof that another way is possible.

Recovery through Peer Providers is an invaluable tool for health care purchasers, managed care organizations, behavioral health care providers, and mental health consumers. Promote recovery by inspiring hope, improving communication, building peer support, highlighting positive role models and sharing coping strategies. -
The current-day mental health system has been shaped around the idea that people who have been given psychiatric labels suffer in a way over which they have no control and that often results in an inability to care for ones self. It is an approach that encourages the idea that professionals need to step in to be the experts and determine someone's human potential. These beliefs have also influenced other aspects of our culture to the point where news, movies, friends and family tend to perpetuate the message that we are chronically sick and need to re-adjust our hopes and dreams. In some instances, people have been told they won't be able to handle living on their own, going to school, working, getting married or having children. Many have been told they need to take medications, even if they leave them numb, and participate in programs that treat them as if they are children. The Virtues of Non-Compliance talks back to all those ideas in the voice of people who have been there, who have been told they can't, and who have gone on to live their lives on their own terms.

he term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. Minimalist design has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture. In addition, the work of De Stijl artists is a major source of reference for this kind of work.
Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe adopted the motto Less is more to describe his aesthetic tactic of arranging the numerous necessary components of a building to create an impression of extreme simplicity, by enlisting every element and detail to serve multiple visual and functional purposes (such as designing a floor to also serve as the radiator, or a massive fireplace to also house the bathroom). Designer Buckminster Fuller adopted the engineer's goal of Doing more with less, but his concerns were oriented towards technology and engineering rather than aesthetics. A similar sentiment was industrial designer Dieter Rams' motto, Less but better adapted from Mies. The structure uses relatively simple elegant designs; ornamentations are quality rather than quantity.

Customer Analytics
What it is and why it matters
Customer analytics refers to the processes and technologies that give organizations the customer insight necessary to deliver offers that are anticipated, relevant and timely.
As the backbone for all marketing activities, customer analytics comprises techniques such as predictive modeling, data visualization, information management and segmentation.
The importance of customer analytics
Customer analytics is becoming critical. To understand why, consider this: Customers are more empowered and connected than ever. And becoming more so. Customers have access to information anywhere, any time – where to shop, what to buy, how much to pay, etc. That makes it increasingly important to obtain customer insight to understand how they will behave when interacting with your organization, so you can respond accordingly. The deeper your understanding of customers' buying habits and lifestyle preferences, the more accurate your predictions of future buying behaviors will be – and the more successful you will be at delivering relevant offers that attract rather than alienate customers.
Marketing Insights
Explore insights from marketing movers and shakers on a variety of timely topics.
More on customer analytics
What you can do with customer analytics
With customer analytics, you can:
- Increase response rates, customer loyalty and, ultimately, ROI by contacting the right customers with highly relevant offers and messages.
- Reduce campaign costs by targeting those customers most likely to respond.
- Decrease attrition by accurately predicting customers most likely to leave and developing the right proactive campaigns to retain them.
- Deliver the right message by segmenting customers more effectively and better understanding target populations.
The insights derived from our new analytics capabilities are allowing us to find the sweet spots that will continue to drive loyalty, profitability and sustainable growth.

More than 5,000 solar panels are helping a Dubai power station to become one of the region's largest, single rooftop arrays, but companies say the authorisation process is inhibiting a large-scale roll-out. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) announced yesterday that its Jebel Ali power plant was producing 1.5 megawatts of power, which is enough to power about a quarter of a million homes, according to the US-based Solar Energy Industry Association.
As anticipated, 2018 was a pivotal year for PV installations in Middle East and North Africa, writes Josefin Berg, Research and Analysis Manager at IHS Markit. PV Magazine's end-of-year estimates show that approximately 3.6 GW of PV systems were installed in the region in 2018, compared to less than 1 GW in 2017.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved a US$50 million loan for small-scale renewable energy projects in Zambia, after recent droughts caused a serious electricity supply deficit due to the country's heavy reliance on hydropower. This comes on top of the US$52.5 million in financing approved by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in February as part of a financing framework. Zambia's Government launched the Renewable Energy Feed-in-Tariff (REFiT) policy in 2017 to support private investments for small-scale <20MW renewable projects, driven by the hydropower deficit. The 'Global Energy Transfer Feed-in Tariffs' (GETFiT) Zambia Programme was then brought in to facilitate the implementation of the REFiT Policy aiming to finance 200MW of renewable energy projects. The GETFiT programme will be co-financed by the GCF and AfDB along with other yet to be determined co-financers.

The Desert to Power collaboration between the African Development Bank (ADB), the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Africa50 investment fund aims to build 10,000 MW of solar projects across the dry, sunny region. That would be enough to bring solar-generated electricity to 250 million people, including 90 million through off-grid solutions, which the organisations claim will enable the development of agriculture. Just 42% of people have access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa. Green Climate Fund executive director Howard Bamsey said the needs expressed by countries in the region were driving the initiative. "Sahel countries have identified the potential of solar power to bring green energy to people across the region," said Bamsey. "Renewable energy investment is a priority in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement." The organisations agreed to share ideas and resources to make solar power available throughout the Sahel region, with the aim of transforming African deserts into new sources of renewable energy.

The speed of global renewable energy adoption needs to increase by at least a factor of six if the world is to meet the goals set out in the Paris Climate Agreement, but which would also result in the growth of the global economy and global welfare, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency. The new report published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Global Energy Transformation: A Roadmap to 2050, was launched at the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue being held on Tuesday and Wednesday at Germany's Federal Foreign Office. According to the report, cumulative energy system investment would need to be increased by 30% through to 2050 in favor of supporting renewable energy and energy efficiency — from around $93 trillion under current and planned policies, up to $120 trillion. This investment figure also requires $18 trillion be directed towards power grids and energy flexibility — double that of current and planned policies.

Solar trade association SolarPower Europe has updated its global solar demand forecast for 2017, expecting to reach the 100GW level for the first time. SolarPower Europe said that with global demand reaching 100GW, compared to 76.6GW installed in 2016, annual will be more than 30% in 2017. The trade group had expected only slight demand growth year-on-year, previously guiding installations could reach as much as 80GW in 2017. The real driver for strong demand in 2017 has come from China. The trade group said: "China alone has installed around 42GW in the first nine months of 2017 and is likely to add a total of over 50GW in 2017, which would account for more than half of the world's demand for new solar power capacities this year. This constitutes a 45% growth from the 34.5GW China installed last year." However, SolarPower Europe noted that in its latest analysis estimates, Europe would also be a small contributor to the 2017 growth levels with installations expected to be around 10% higher than in 2016, with at least 7.5GW grid connected.

Many of those same countries—particularly India, China, and Nigeria—are simultaneously experiencing major urbanization trends that will move billions of people into cities over the next several decades. In fact, according to the United Nations, approximately 2.5 billion people will likely join the world's urban population by 2050, almost entirely in Asia and Africa. By that time, two-thirds of the world's population is projected to be living in urban areas, according to the United Nations.

Coal and gas-fired electricity generation last year drew less than half the record investment made in solar, wind and other renewables capacity - one of several important firsts for green energy recently announced in a United Nations-backed report. "Renewables are becoming ever more central to our low-carbon lifestyles, and the record-setting investments in 2015 are further proof of this trend," said UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner in a press release. "Importantly, for the first time in 2015, renewables in investments were higher in developing countries than developed."

Coinciding with the inauguration of Phase II of the Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the Dubai government launched its "Clean Energy Strategy 2050" this Saturday – aiming to continue reducing the Emirate's dependency on traditional fossil fuels, and targeting a 75% renewables mix by 2050. With the slogan "solar panels on every roof", the government hopes to generate 25% of all energy through solar by then. Based on 5 key pillars (infrastructure, legislation, funding, capacity building, sustainable energy mix), the plan will be backed by significant initiatives including an AED 100 billion (27bUSD) 'Green Fund' to provide loans to clean energy investors at reduced rates, the establishment of a new clean energy free zone ('Dubai Green Zone'), and infrastructure projects to come.

A survey by DNV GL of a range of participants in the MENA region's solar markets has confirmed that Dubai and Jordan are considered the markets with the greatest short term potential. Looking beyond two years, Saudi Arabia is seen as having the highest potential, despite the slow movement in the market today. Jordan offers a FIT for projects under 5 MW in size, and has launched its second utility scale tender. Dubai trails Jordan only slightly, in survey respondents' expectations, with the 200 MW Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid (MBR) Al-Maktoum Solar Park.

The U.K.'s transmission system operator has revealed that it estimates peak demand will hit just 37.5 GW this summer, remarking that the growth of distributed solar PV has helped ease the burden on the national grid by around 900 MW since 2014. According to the National Grid, embedded U.K. solar power capacity almost doubled over the past 12 months, rising from 2.4 GW in February 2014 to 4.4 GW this year – this is solar PV capacity that is not connected to the national electricity transmission grid, but does show up on the grid indirectly as reduced demand.

There is no doubt that investing in solar electricity generates important environmental, economic and social benefits. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Egypt has committed to generating as much as 20% of its energy from renewable sources, including solar by 2020. Governments, utility companies and private enterprises around the world have rapidly been embracing the potential to tap into our most abundant energy resource – the sun – and for good reason: the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface every six minutes is sufficient to produce more electricity than the world's population consumes over an entire year. Solar energy is not only clean and renewable, but is also cost competitive with fossil fuels.

The Department for Energy and Climate Change's Fuel Poverty Strategy calls for further renewable energy measures. Broadly speaking, the new fuel poverty strategy highlights the need for further energy efficiency and renewable measures and is working on a new fuel poverty definition. The strategy is wide-ranging, but there are some specific areas linking to Regen SW's work. Regen SW believes DECC will offer minimal funding to deal with fuel poverty; it will therefore be necessary to find as many alternative sources of funding as possible. On a government level, this means engaging different departments in fuel poverty for different reasons but it is equally relevant on the regional and local scale.

Egypt is suffering a power crisis, and not just a political one. Over the weekend the Egyptian president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, made an appeal to the Arab world's most populous nation for patience after a series of serious blackouts. The daily blackouts have caused the metro in Cairo to grind to a halt during rush hour, business to be disrupted, and the city's already terrible traffic problem to get even worse. The power cuts left parts of the capital without running water, and caused 2,000 mobile phone signal boosters to fail. Mass protests have been held calling for the resignation of the Electricity Minister.

To people who visit the idyllic tourist destination of the Maldives, politics can seem far away. But this week, the country's President Mohamed Nasheed stepped down after weeks of demonstrations. He was forced to resign by elements within the police and army. Here's how he described the situation to Al Jazeera.
INSKEEP: There is a warrant out for the arrest of the former president, the ousted president, who has been staying at his home, surrounded and protected by supporters. President Nasheed came to power in 2008, winning a democratic election after a dictator ruled the Maldives for 30 years.
So let's talk about this with a man who came to know the ousted president well. Hari Kunzru is a novelist and deputy president of English PEN, which works to promote literature and human rights.
Welcome to the program, sir.
HARI KUNZRU: Thank you.
INSKEEP: What makes this president something more than the president of a small country?
KUNZRU: Well, he's become a figure on the international stage, mainly because of his work around climate change, because he's one of the most eloquent spokesmen for why there should be immediate action on global climate.
The Maldives is an island nation. It consists of, you know, over a thousand tiny islands, none of which are much more than a meter above sea level. And it faces the almost 100 percent certainty that it will be completely submerged within about 50 to 100 years. And so Nasheed has to lead 300,000 people out of a sinking nation. And so, of course, this is a huge moral crusade that he's on. You know, he faces something that's only an abstraction to a lot of people.
INSKEEP: And yet he's in trouble.
KUNZRU: He is. You know, as he put it the other day, a dictatorship doesn't end on the date of the free election. And what he's faced since 2008 when he came in is the entrenched opposition of the judiciary and the kind of network of people who did very well out of the old regime.
I mean, the Maldives has a lot of income from tourism, you know. There's a lot of money sloshing around. And most of that is going into the pockets of people who own resorts and can service the tourist industry. And under the old regime, a lot of people made a lot of money. And some of it was made illicitly.
So one of the things Nasheed did was to try and go after these people and recover stolen money for the country. And he's faced extreme opposition from judges and powerful people and from elements of the security forces who've never accepted his legitimacy and who are still loyal to the old regime.
INSKEEP: You spoke of his efforts against global warming. And you said it is a crusade that he is on. You spoke in the present tense. In your mind, do you think this is a man who's going to be able to recover his job?
KUNZRU: I think he has a great deal of authority still within the country. He has, as is clear, a lot of support internationally. He represents a kind of political tradition in the Maldives that I think a lot of people in the international community want to see prevail. You know, he spent 20 years as a human rights activist and a journalist and was imprisoned many times by the dictatorship and tortured twice. So, again, he has the moral authority behind his speech.
And frankly, this is not a done deal yet. I think the situation is very fluid. It's not clear that the new government will be able to govern. And it's a small place, so things will move very rapidly in the next few days.
INSKEEP: Hari Kunzru is a novelist and a long-time acquaintance of the president of the Maldives, who was ousted in a coup: Mohamed Nasheed.
Thanks very much.
KUNZRU: Thank you.
INSKEEP: And today, the ousted president is telling reporters he's going to continue to fight to get his job back. Nasheed is calling for new elections, and he says he's going to organize street protests if those elections don't happen. This is NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
