Intensify education on iodised salt use - Medical Practitioner
Dr Charles Ackah, a research fellow at the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER), has called for more education on iodised salt usage and the enforcement of the law on iodated salt consumption.
Speaking at a seminar on a study conducted by Professor Clemence Ahiadeke a Director at ISSER, Dr Ackah and Ms Adjoa Acquah, a Research Assistant at ISSER, on the theme: "Factors influencing the use of adequately iodated salt in Ghana," Dr Ackah said although there had been some education on the use of iodated salt, most people were not using it.
Some of the factors influencing the use of adequately iodised salt included the level of education of the household, especially the head. The study showed that household where the head had been educated at least to the Junior Secondary School (JSS) level were more likely to use adequately iodated salt, while those who had no education, were less likely to do so.
The study also showed that the more wealthy a household was, the more likely it was that it would use adequately iodised salt and vice versa.
Dr Ackah stated that the gender of the family head was one of the strongest factors associated with the use of adequately iodised salt.
A family where the head was female was found to use more iodised salt than one where the head was male.
Participants at the seminar noted that the wide use of non-iodised salt by most people was due to its availability and affordability as opposed to the iodised salt which is more expensive.
Madam Theodocia Ofosu-Appiah, Monitoring Officer at United Nations International Children's Fund (UNICEF) said the lack of enforcement of the law on consumption of iodated salt was due to the fact that there were many producers of salt.
She added that they were working with the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Food and Drugs Board to enforce the law.
The required level of iodine for human consumption is 15 Parts Per Million(ppm), however due to cooking processes in Ghana, which reduces the level of iodine, the required amount at factory level is 50ppm, which would be reduced when cooked.
Iodine deficiency causes ailments such as goiter, stunted growth, malnutrition in children under five years and pregnant women.

SECURITY PARAMOUNT IN HEARTS-KOTOKO MATCH
As the two traditional clubs, Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko battle it out on Sunday in the 22nd week encounter of the Glo Premier League, one thing that is important to many fans is security.
Often the outcome of matches involving these great two is unpredictable before the game. Sometimes they end in violence due to the huge following of both clubs.
In order to experience a violent-free game on Sunday, i would advocate that, the Professional League Board (PLB) should beef up security at the stadium to prevent any violence.
Again, before the game would commence, the players of both teams should exchange pleasantries just as the technical bench of the teams do, and this could help defuse the tension that may build up among the spectators.
Not only that, supporters of both teams should be advised to refrain from comments and arguments that are likely to ignite any form of controversy leading to mayhem during the game.Rather they should be made to understand that football is to bring people together but not create enemies.
Above all, our security forces should exercise some amount of patience when discharging the duties, and they should look out for anybody who will attempt to take the law into his own hands and not spare them at all.
I can guarantee an incident-free game before and the after the game. I wish both teams the best of luck.

OH JUDGE ME NOT!
Oh Judge me not!
The world seems to be against me
Even nature has not been fair to me either
I have been a navigator for the truth this while.
Yet I have not stopped fighting against the obstacles of life
Today, they accused me of a crime I have not committed
And have been charged for being guilty of your love, oh my Lord!
The accusers are waiting for your ruling over this case.
My Lord, am I guilty or not guilty of your love?
If I have to defend myself, I would say
Let me be in the prison of your heart
Serving your heart with love for the rest of the days my Lord!

TOENAILS CAN REVEAL LUNG CANCER
Scientists say they have found a new way to predict lung cancer - by looking at a person's toenail clippings.
Experts at the University of San Diego in California have found that measuring nicotine levels in clippings can give a fairly accurate idea of future risk.
Slow-growing toenails provide a barometer of chronic smoke exposure the American Journal of Epidemiology says.
Men with the highest readings were over three times as likely to get lung cancer as those with the lowest.
Toenails not only spot which smokers are most at risk but also which non-smokers are as well.
The researchers studied more than 800 men, some with lung cancer and some without.
Toenail nicotine levels were found to be a strong predictor of lung cancer.
Some of the men with the highest levels of nicotine were non-smokers who, presumably, had been exposed via passive smoking.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world with 1.61 million new cases diagnosed every year.
The vast majority of lung cancers are caused by cigarette smoking.
The lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is thought to be 1 in 14 for men and 1 in 19 for women in the UK.
About 41,000 people were diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK in 2008, which equates to 112 people every day.

COACH HERBERT ADDO CHASES FOOTBALL FAN WITH KNIFE
 |
| Coach Herbert Addo |
Coach Herbert Addo put up a dramatic yet disappointing display at the Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa Ahenkro Wednesday after his Aduana Stars team was held to a goalless draw by visiting Liberty Professionals in a match day 20 fixture of the Glo Premier League.
The local Black Stars trainer chased an angry fan with a sharp object suspected to be a knife after a frustrating confrontation.
Joy Sports correspondent Oduro Anim Apau said supporters of Aduna Stars who obviously were unhappy with the results openly expressed their frustrations.
In the process, one supporter approached the coach who was driving away after the match and all of a sudden, Coach Addo, pulled up, pulled a sharp instrument thought to be a knife and gave the fan a hot chase.
Elsewhere at the Accra Sports Stadium, Hearts of Oak lifted themselves above the drop zone after a vital 2-1 win over debutants Mighty Jets.
Two first half strikes from Abraham Annan and Uriah Asante sealed victory for the Phobians.
Assistant Coach of Hearts, Shaibu Tanko says securing victory was not an easy task.
Hearts Midfielder Uriah Asante believes the Phobians can end the season on a high note.
Elsewhere at the Golden City Park, Berekum Chelsea fought to maintain their 10 point lead on top of the league ladder after defeating Ebusua Dwarfs 1-0.
Second placed Medeama FC posted a 2-1 win over Berekum Arsenals in Tarkwa.
Aduana Stars stayed in third position despite their goalless draw with Liberty Professionals in Dormaa.
Asante Kotoko held fourth placed New Edubiase to a one-all draw at the Gyamfi Park.
Bottom placed BA Stars nicked a 1-0 win over Wa All Stars in Sunyani. And, All Stars Coach Maxwell Konadu says the relegation candidates were worthy winners.
In other results, RTU secured a 3-0 win over Heart of Lions at the Tamale Stadium and King Faisal dropped into the relegation zone after drawing goalless with AshantiGold at the Baba Yara Stadium.

BAFFOE HAILS FIGHT AGAINST RACISM
 |
| Tony Baffoe |
Ex-Ghana international Tony Baffoe has praised Fifa's efforts at stamping out discrimination from the game.
Baffoe, a victim of racial abuse during his playing career in Germany says the sport is gradually growing out of the stigma as compared to the past.
The former defender in an interview with Fifa.com shared his personal experiences as a black player in the Bundesliga.
"Discrimination has a lot to do with ignorance and non-acceptance. For me, as a young kid growing up in Germany, I experienced discrimination with my own flesh. Today, in 2011, a lot of things have improved, but there's still a long way to go for us to say there is only one race, and that's the human race. The world is changing step by step, and when we are all equal, then we will be able to talk about one human nature," Baffoe told Fifa.com.
Baffoe recounted the role he and ex-Ghana striker Tony Yeboah played to help change the perception against the black player.
"I was one of the first well-recognised black players. I remember very well, I think it was in 1991, that myself, Tony Yeboah and Souleymane Sane wrote an open letter about racism intentionally to the Bild Zeitung. And from there on, there was some change: there were flags for us and supporters started to come out against racism and things were generally getting better."
Comparing football in the past to now, Baffoe explains that Fifa has done a wonderful job in curbing racist abuse within the game.
"FIFA has done a good job at promoting Anti-Discrimination Days and also making it a major issue at World Cups.
"There are great ideas there, and the number of players as ambassadors are good, and there are other groups, like FARE [Football Against Racism in Europe], Kick-Out Racism and FIFPro, the player's organisation. There are a lot of players with big names, not only black players, but European players, white players, that are also championing the cause against racism, and that is a very positive signal.
"I do think that we do not have enough black managers, so we have to continue to work on making changes," Baffoe said.

7 keys for a successful living
 |
| Apostle Victor Annan |
Prayer-prayer is a communication between God and man “GOD’S great plan for the redemption of mankind is as much bound up to prayer for it’s prosperity and success as when the decree creating the movement was issued from the
Father, bearing on its frontage the imperative, universal and eternal condition, "Ask of
Me, and I will give thee the heathen for thy inheritance and the uttermost part of the earth
For thy possession."
APPIAH DESERVES BEFITTING HONOUR
 |
| Stephen Appiah |
As Ghana prepares for the next international football against the Three Lions of England, let us properly pay farewell to the Ex-Black Stars captain, Stephen ‘Tornado’
Appiah, for his immense contribution to the senior national team over the years.
Appiah started his international career in 1997, and currently plies his trade with Cesena in the Italian Serie A.
He was a member of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup winning team of 1995 in Ecuador, and had 62 caps with 14 goals for Ghana during all illustrious career.
As a matter of fact, he captained the senior national team at two different World Cups, first in Germany in 2006 and then in South Africa in 2010, although his involvement at South Africa was largely limited to the role of a substitute.
He was phenomenal and an icon for the younger generation of Ghanaian footballers. I would suggest that we use the England encounter slated for March 29 at the famous Wembley to honor or say a proper farewell to him. He deserves it.
Again, I would urge that the Ministry of Sports through Ghana Football Association (GFA) and other stakeholders in Ghana football come together to honor our heroes at all times.
When this is done it would encourage up and coming sportsmen and sportswomen in the various fields to give their best for the country.
