Ghana is experiencing 5th wave of Covid-19 – KCCR virologist

Ghana News, International
A virologist at the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research (KCCR), Dr Michael Owusu, says the country is currently experiencing its fifth wave of the coronavirus. He said the new wave can be attributed to the BA.4 category of the Omicron variant, adding that lack of adherence to safety measures coupled with vaccine hesitancy is likely to make the projected wave a challenge.

As the pattern changes, I am looking forward to the President relooking at the E.I. again and possibly announci...

Japan makes online insults punishable by 1 year in jail

Japan makes online insults punishable by 1 year in jail

International, World News
Japan has made online insults punishable by up to a year in prison in an effort to reduce cyberbullying after the death of a reality television star who had faced a wave of online abuse. Previously, the maximum penalty for the crime of “insultation” was less than 30 days’ detention or a fine of less than 10,000 yen ($75). The amendment to Japan’s penal code, which lawmakers passed Monday and is set to take effect this summer, introduces the prison term and increases the maximum fine to 300,000 yen. The statute of limitations on prosecution was also increased to three years from one. Though the law also covers insults made offline, those are less likely to be subject to the tougher penalties because they are disseminated to fewer people, said Ryuichi Nozaki, a senior partner at the...

Man: Greedy Or Hardworking?

Man: Greedy Or Hardworking?

Ghana News, Pentecost News
To ensure human survival and coexistence with nature and the ecosystem, God created humankind to be responsible and embrace hard work. God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it (Genesis 2:15). So, even before the fall, “God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground” (Genesis 1:29). The need for humankind to imbibe a positive attitude towards work became even critical after the fall. As a punishment to man, God said, “…Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil, you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat ...
