Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina ya vijana wanaotafuta fursa za mafunzo kwa vitendo. Umoja wa Mataifa ni moja ya mashirika ya kimataifa yanayotoa fursa hii kwa vijana kutoka duniani kote kuja hapa Makao Makuu jijini New York Marekani au hata katika nchi husika.Ripoti mpya ya Umoja wa Mataifa iliyotolewa leo imefichua mauaji ya kutisha, ubakaji na matumizi ya njaa kama silaha ya vita katika kambi ya Zamzam, Darfur, Sudan. Kwa mujibu wa ofisi ya Haki za Binadamu ya Umoja wa Mataifa OHCHR, raia wasiopungua 1,013 waliuawa katika mashambulizi ya siku tatu ya wanamgambo wa RSF mwezi Aprili, huku zaidi ya watu 400,000 wakilazimika kukimbia makazi yao.Leo, katika maadhimisho ya Siku ya Kimataifa ya Wahamiaji, Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Antonio Guterres amemulika mchango mkubwa wa mamilioni ya wahamiaji duniani, wakati uhamiaji ukiendelea kuwa mgumu zaidi kutokana na migogoro, majanga yanayohusiana na tabianchi na shinikizo za kiuchumi. Ameeleza kuwepo kwa viwango vya juu zaidi vya watu waliolazimika kuhama makazi yao na idadi kubwa zaidi kuwahi kushuhudiwa ya vifo vya wahamiaji wakiwa safarini, huku akisisitiza kuwa uhamiaji salama na unaosimamiwa vyema unaweza kuchochea ukuaji wa uchumi, ubunifu na maendeleo katika nchi za asili na zinazopokea wahamiaji. Guterres amesema, “Uhamiaji unapokuwa salama na unasimamiwa vyema, si janga la kuogopa, bali ni nguvu kubwa ya kuleta mema.”.Na Ama K. Babebrese Balozi mwema wa kitaifa wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Uhamiaji IOM mwenye asili ya Ghana ambaye sasa ni muhamiaji nchini Uingereza, katika siku hii ya uhamiaji ametoa ujumbe maalum akisema "Napenda kumtia moyo kila mtu kwamba tunaweza kuwa tofauti, hadithi zetu za uhamiaji ni tofauti tumetoka kwenye mazingira tofauti lakini kitu cha muhimu ni kwamba kama jamii sisi ni kitu kimoja. Uhamiaji ndio hadithi yangu”.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

Why persistence defines effective leadership—Michelle shares a powerful lesson from India: "It is not up to us to finish the project. It is up to us to start it," urging nonprofit leaders to overcome imposter syndrome.

From land fraud to title certificates: Why 18% homeownership in Ghana isn't poverty - it's systemic chaos - and the brutal truth about testing land, strategic partnerships, and the neighbor verification strategy that protects your $5,000 investment from becoming a court battle nightmare. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, real estate veterans dismantle the dangerous solo land-buying fantasy keeping African investors trapped between ownership dreams and legal warfare realities. This isn't motivational property talk from social media influencers - it's a systematic breakdown of why you can do perfect searches, get clean documentation, and still sell the same plot to five different people within a month, why Rwanda has an app that shows every land detail while Ghana has court calendars packed with document-versus-document battles dating back to the 1960s, and why the smartest investors buy land where their neighbor already built successfully - because whoever took the risk first absorbed the legal chaos you're trying to avoid.. Critical revelations include: • Why Ghana has 18% homeownership while Nigeria has 42% - it's not population or poverty, it's purchasing power and systemic land chaos concentrated in Greater Accra • The neighbor verification strategy: buy land where someone you trust already built - they took the risk, you benefit from the same governing document • Why individual credibility matters more than searches - you can have perfect documentation and still get sold the same land five times by greedy sellers From understanding that Africa's system is built to work against you unless you know how to fight it, to recognizing that the mindset of settling people instead of protecting buyers is why Ghana's real estate remains chaotic, to accepting that owning your primary home is a security choice that guarantees your family won't live on the street even when you're broke - this episode proves that real estate in Ghana rewards strategic verification over rushed ownership. The person who buys land where a trusted neighbor already built, works with companies that test 100 acres before selling plots, or partners with property management firms that guarantee monthly income will own property faster and safer than the person who does independent searches, pays 100% upfront, and discovers five other buyers with the same "valid" documentation. For the diaspora investor, local entrepreneur, and first-time buyer seeking to own property in Ghana without becoming another land dispute casualty or vacant luxury apartment statistic, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: align yourself with someone who knows how to fight the system and has the muscles to handle disputes. Buy land where your neighbor already built successfully - the same governing document protects you both. Work with developers and companies that test land, absorb legal risk, and offer guarantees. Consider property management companies that take rental risk and guarantee monthly income instead of managing 200 homes yourself. And remember - owning your primary residence is a lifestyle choice that saves you when everything crashes. Property tax won't force you out. You'll figure out food and utilities. But if you're renting when disaster strikes, you're fighting two battles - survival and homelessness. The question isn't whether Ghana's land system is chaotic. The question is whether you'll verify through trusted neighbors, professional companies, and strategic partnerships - or become another court calendar story with perfect documentation that five other people also claim to own.

From site plans to court judgments: Why luxury apartments sit vacant for years - and the brutal truth about land documentation, investment strategy, and the $55,000 deal that proves competition is reshaping Ghana's real estate future. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, real estate veterans Rash Asari and Quasiotin Desmond (COD) dismantle the dangerous investment myths keeping African buyers trapped between unaffordable luxury and undocumented land nightmares. This isn't motivational property talk from social media influencers - it's a systematic breakdown of why $5,000 monthly apartments struggle to find tenants while strategic investors negotiate 25% discounts, why every land buyer needs a site plan and indenture before touching soil, and why the future of Ghana's real estate market depends on enforcement, competition, and infrastructure expansion that will make today's remote locations tomorrow's premium addresses. Critical revelations include: • Why luxury properties can sit vacant for two years - not many people in Ghana can afford $4,000-$5,000 monthly rent • The starting investor dilemma: land versus luxury investment property - if you're just starting out and can easily afford land, do your homework and buy from trusted sources • The partnership entry strategy: get a few friends together, buy an investment property through a trusted agency, use passive income to build your portfolio from there • Why Ghana's real estate future is beautiful, not crashing - the Big Push Mahama initiative road infrastructure will reduce commute times and expand the market beyond everyone wanting to live in Cantonments. From understanding that most luxury apartment owners bought their homes in simpler times when competition was low, to recognizing that the future will force price competition as supply increases and new projects flood the market, to accepting that the dream of living in Cantonments becomes more real when developers negotiate discounts to compete with four other quality options in the same area - this episode proves that Ghana's real estate market rewards strategic timing and documentation knowledge over rushing into ownership. The person who starts with affordable land in infrastructure development zones, or partners with friends to buy investment property generating passive income, will build a portfolio faster than the person waiting years to afford luxury alone or buying cheap land without proper documentation that ends up in court. For the diaspora investor, local entrepreneur, and first-time buyer seeking to enter Ghana's real estate market without becoming another vacancy statistic or land fraud casualty, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: if starting out, buy land from trusted agencies in areas where road construction is happening - Prampram, Dodowa, Fiena - so commute time drops and value appreciates by the time you build. If investing for passive income, partner with friends to buy affordable luxury units ($55,000 range) and use rental income to fund future purchases. Always demand the site plan (land fingerprint with GPS coordinates), indenture (lease hold terms), and title or judgment documents. Take the seller's original title when buying single plots to prevent multiple sales. Verify that court judgments have reached the Land Commission. Work with established companies that handle documentation and absorb legal risk. And remember - the future of Ghana's real estate isn't crashing. It's expanding through infrastructure, competition, and enforcement. The only question is whether you'll position yourself in the path of development before roads finish and prices reflect the new reality.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has spent the past few days doing what he does best: blending spectacle, business strategy, and a carefully managed public image into one nonstop storyline. In his home state of North Carolina, local outlet Chapelboro reports that he is set to appear at the UNC men's basketball game against USC Upstate, where he will run a ten thousand dollar giveaway exclusively for students, with an in‑arena appearance at halftime and the giveaway taking place after the final buzzer. That kind of campus‑scale stunt is classic MrBeast: hyperlocal, highly photogenic, and guaranteed to generate social clips that will live far beyond one night in the Dean Smith Center.On the business front, the longer arc of his empire may be shifting in a profound way. TechCrunch reports that his new CEO at Beast Industries, Jeff Housenbold, has openly floated the idea of a future public offering, saying they want the roughly 1.4 billion unique viewers who watched MrBeast content in the last 90 days to have a chance to be owners of the company. That is not a formal IPO filing, but it is a clear, on‑the‑record signal that an eventual listing is on the table, and it would mark one of the first true creator‑led conglomerates to step onto public markets, with Feastables candy now described as the most profitable piece of the business.At the same time, MrBeast is leaning even harder into philanthropy as brand strategy. The 1 Billion Followers Summit has launched a global campaign called 1 Billion Acts of Kindness with MrBeast, in collaboration with his company, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, and the Varkey Foundation. Official terms show that creators worldwide are being asked to post videos of acts of kindness, tag MrBeast, and compete for a January 2026 trip with him to Ghana, where they will help build a village and appear in his content. That initiative, running right now, positions him not just as an entertainer but as a global organizer of influencer philanthropy.Overlaying all of this is the unresolved legal and reputational cloud: TechCrunch, citing prior reporting, notes the ongoing litigation over MrBeast Burger and the lawsuits from contestants on the first season of Beast Games alleging mistreatment and a toxic work environment. Those cases have not been resolved publicly, and any new filings or statements would be major news; for now, the most recent verified developments are the continuing suits and his guarded comments about having “learned” from running a 2,000‑person competition. Anything beyond that, including rumored settlements or internal policy changes, remains speculative and unconfirmed.There are also forward‑looking product headlines: fintech industry outlet The Paypers reports that MrBeast is working on a financial services platform and Beast Mobile, a phone company aimed squarely at his audience. Details are sparse, and there is no launch date yet, but if executed, those moves would push him from consumer packaged goods and shows into something closer to a lifestyle ecosystem, with payments, connectivity, and media all under one fan‑facing umbrella. Some social chatter has tried to connect those plans directly to IPO timing, but no credible outlet has reported any regulatory filings or dates, so talk of an imminent listing is, at this stage, pure speculation.Across social media, clips from his recent conversation on the attention economy with Jeff Housenbold have been circulating, showing him doubling down on a brutal work ethic, the idea that every day ending in “Y” is a workday, and a willingness to be “humbled” by more traditional hosts as he refines Beast Games. Coverage of Season 2 of that show, including a Survivor‑style twist highlighted by entertainment site The Knockturnal, frames him as increasingly comfortable stepping back and letting contestants drive the story, an evolution that could matter for his long‑term reputation as more than just the guy shouting over stunts.That is your rapid‑fire update on MrBeast's world this week. Thank you for listening, and be sure to subscribe so you never miss an update on MrBeast, and search the term Biography Flash for more great biographies.And that is it for today.

Analysis and discussion of news and current affairs in Ghana with panellists

From solo ownership myths to partnership wealth: Why the average Ghanaian earning 800 cedis can still own property - and the brutal truth about trust funds, strategic collaboration, and the $10,000 partnership model that beats waiting alone for decades. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, real estate veterans dismantle the dangerous solo ownership fantasy keeping African investors trapped in perpetual saving cycles while smarter players build wealth through strategic partnerships and affordable entry points. This isn't motivational real estate talk from social media gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why you don't need to go in as an individual to secure your foot in the door, why millionaires use trust funds to purchase properties together for security and liability protection, and why the person making 800 cedis monthly isn't part of the game unless they increase their income and think beyond traditional employment. Critical revelations include: • Why you need to partner as a strategy - the average Ghanaian earning a certain amount can still get a foot in the door through collaboration • Why wealth thrives more in Ghana than Western countries - Africa has virgin lands, manpower, youth energy, and demand that creates opportunity • The employment cost advantage: in America, hiring someone costs minimum $45,000 annually - in Ghana you can employ help within a month of starting • The property management entry strategy: start as a facility officer changing bulbs and checking sockets, volunteer for sales exhibitions on weekends, dedicate eight months to learning the industry • Why the money is in the bush, not the office - working with chiefs, selling land, getting your hands dirty beats 15 years climbing corporate ladders for low salaries • The mindset crisis: people care too much about how they look, think they need to be saved by someone, and can't compute themselves doing what successful people do • The self-sabotage language: when someone says "the environment is so miraculous" they're unconsciously declaring they can't achieve what others have • The payment flexibility reality: cheapest land at 85,000 cedis with 50/50 payment plans, but human negotiation allows 30,000 deposits with customized schedules instead of rigid 10,000 monthly for eight months The conversation reaches its uncomfortable peak with a truth that destroys individual ownership pride: the average Ghanaian is selfish, doesn't trust their brother to go into business together, and thinks only about "me and my family" while missing the partnership strategies millionaires use through trust funds. Meanwhile, friends who bought Embassy Garden units together for $65,000 are now buying each other out after rental income and appreciation proved the model works - but most people would rather wait decades to buy land alone than partner strategically and own property within months. For the diaspora investor, local entrepreneur, and average Ghanaian seeking to own property instead of remaining trapped in rental cycles or perpetual saving, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: stop thinking you need to go in alone. Use partnership models - trust funds, co-ownership agreements, verified large-scale developments where five friends pool resources. Increase your income through side businesses, weekend gigs, leveraging skills like architecture or quantity surveying. Start with property management or facility roles to learn the industry from the inside. Work with professionals who offer flexible payment plans beyond rigid monthly schedules. And remember - millionaires don't buy property alone when trust funds offer liability protection and collective purchasing power. The question isn't whether you can afford real estate on 800 cedis monthly. The question is whether you'll increase your income, find strategic partners, and secure your foot in the door - or spend decades waiting alone while partnership buyers own multiple properties and buy each other out with rental income profits.

Today's show kicks off with a conversation about Korean skincare before moving into a lively Friday intro and a shout out to everyone from the previous night's event. The team also celebrate the official announcement of The Rotation presenters, breaking down the lineup and the reactions coming in from the community.Headlines open with a shocking NHS report showing elderly patients left in corridor care at Queen's Hospital in East London. The team unpack why the NHS situation feels like a developing country and whether the government is quietly pushing people toward private healthcare. They then move on to Dulwich College breaking its silence about allegations of Nigel Farage's racist behaviour as a student, and a major new investment to create 50,000 SEN school places across England.The Topic of the Day is a full cultural deep dive into Dettie December. The team explore its origins, the diaspora's connection to Ghana and Nigeria, the impact of the Year of Return, and how the season has grown into a global cultural moment. Gina gives a personal account of why she loves Dettie December, the freedom it brings, the networking opportunities, and the undeniable joy of being surrounded by Black culture at scale.The discussion gets real about the downsides too.They tackle issues like:• price hikes that impact local communities• Ghana's slow service culture and why visitors have to adjust• cultural misunderstandings, especially from American tourists• safety differences between Ghana and Nigeria• whether tourists are exploiting local labour• and the role of government corruption in preventing real infrastructure improvementsThe team debate whether people should experience more than just the nightlife, how diaspora expectations clash with local norms, and why the conversation around development must start with the people, not Western standards.A rich, insightful and often hilarious episode that blends culture, travel, diaspora identity and the realities of West African life during the biggest season of the year.Posted Just nowLockedComments

From luxury apartments to land scams: Why ownership obsession keeps Ghanaians broke - and the brutal truth about testing land, partnership strategies, and the $55,000 property model that beats building from scratch. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, two battle-tested real estate veterans - Rash Asari and Quasiotin Desmond (COD) - dismantle the dangerous ownership fantasy keeping African investors trapped in land disputes while smarter players build wealth through strategic property acquisition. This isn't motivational real estate talk from social media gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why testing land before full payment is non-negotiable, why the average Ghanaian earning 800 cedis monthly can still own property through partnership models, and why buying a $55,000 apartment with passive income potential might be smarter than spending $15,000 on land that could end up in court for two years. Critical revelations include: • Why you must test land before paying 100% - dig the ground and whatever is hiding will come out • The deposit strategy: make partial payment, test the land immediately, then decide whether to proceed or walk away with refund guarantees • Why Accra land is the problem, not Ghana-wide: land disputes are concentrated in Greater Accra where every square meter is contested, while Northern Ghana gives land for free • The 800 cedis monthly earner truth: if you're making that little, you're not part of the real estate game unless you join verified large-scale developments or partnership models • The immediate development defense: once you make a deposit and test the land, start building immediately - visible development strengthens your legal position if disputes arise • Why rushing to build your dream home is financial suicide - focus on cash flow first, whether through rental apartments, dividend stocks, or business investments that generate passive income to fund construction later The conversation reaches its uncomfortable peak with a truth that destroys individual land-buying confidence: Rash's first land purchase in Ghana - done with a lawyer, full due diligence, everything correct on paper - still ended up in court for two years after someone showed up claiming ownership once construction started. He won, but only because he had the money to fight. If he had tested the land with a deposit first instead of paying 100% upfront, he could have walked away or deducted court fees from the purchase price. That's why his business model now involves buying 100 acres, testing everything, absorbing all the risk, then selling verified plots to clients with contractual money-back guarantees - because the average buyer can't afford two years of court battles even when they're legally right. From understanding that most construction costs go into finishes - allowing you to move into unfinished buildings and complete them over time - to recognizing that the $55,000 apartment with 36-month payment plans generates immediate rental income while land purchases require additional construction costs before producing returns, to accepting that partnership models allow five friends contributing $10,000 each to own property together instead of waiting years to afford it alone - this episode proves that real estate in Ghana rewards strategic thinking over ownership pride. The person who buys an apartment, collects rent, reinvests passive income into land later, and builds when cash flow supports it will own more property than the person who spends years saving to buy land alone, gets caught in disputes, and never completes construction because they ran out of money fighting court cases. For the diaspora investor, local entrepreneur, and average Ghanaian seeking to own property instead of becoming another land dispute casualty or rental-trapped statistic, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: work with companies that buy large land tracts, test everything, and offer money-back guarantees. Consider $55,000 apartments on payment plans that generate immediate passive income instead of spending the same amount on land and construction without guaranteed returns. Use partnership models - 3-5 friends contributing $10,000 each - to enter the market faster. If buying land, make deposits and test immediately before paying 100%. Start with boy's quarters or rental units to generate cash flow before building your dream home. And remember - ownership pride is the trap keeping people broke. The question isn't whether you own property with your name alone on the title. The question is whether you're generating passive income from real estate investments that compound into generational wealth - even if that means co-owning with partners, buying apartments instead of land, or renting while your rental properties pay for themselves.

Become a Supporter of The Real Science of Sport by making a small monthly pledge, and you also get access to our world-class community of experts and enthusiasts. Plus you get to explain sports like F1 and Squash to Gareth and Ross!Show notesToday, we focus on three news pieces from last week that reminded us of other stories we covered during 2025. The first two concern weight loss and management in elite sport, beginning with a look at the GLP-1 agonist issue (28:27). This was triggered by reports in the UK advising people that they must continue to exercise, specifically weight train, in order to combat the loss of lean mass that has been observed on the drug, which some have equated with aging a decade. Elite sport, meanwhile, will have to consider whether to ban such drugs as potentially performance-enhancing or harmful.On the subject of harm, we stay on weight issues to discuss RED-s (40:10), in the light of a remarkable and candid announcement by elite cyclist Veronica Ewers that she's taking time away from the sport to address issues that she explains go back over a decade. Her story highlights all the traps - control and thoughtfulness about discipline, obsession over measurement and gadgets, disordered eating, intense training, positive validation in competitive environments, the remarkable ability of the body to tolerate this punishment, but ultimately, the sacrifice of health in a misplaced pursuit of performance. We talk about the lessons we can all learn, thinking back to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot's victory in the TDFF, which was a success story for weight periodization.We also cover precocious talent, after a three-year old Indian prodigy earned a chess ranking (1:00:40). That reminded us of Malcolm Gladwell's "compression of adolescence" concept, and we talk about the inefficiencies sport accepts in its pursuit of the next champion, highlighted numerous times this year, with the realization that the system is broken and won't be fixed unless there is a collective will be fix it.Also in this show, a more light-hearted look at the Football and Rugby World Cup draws (2:54) has us bemoaning the dilution of quality and the dearth of competitive matches early in those tournaments. And we chat about a super-fast Valencia marathon (10:43), that threw up fast winning times and nine national records, leading to a chat about globalization of the sport, the dominance of African runners, the slowest marathon nations (with some reasons), and the density of men's and women's top performers.Plus Gareth remembers that Curacao is both a drink and World Cup finalist, and Ross defends Ghana's football honour!Other linksReview article advising resistance training in people taking GLP-1 agonistsPaper that examines weight loss after 1 year of exercise or GLP-1 drugsMore in-depth look at appetite and exercise behaviours in that studyStudy finding risk for RED-s in 30% of triathletes, including the tools that can be used to identify risk factorsCycling teams paying young riders big salaries Hosted on Acast.

Jamila Osman is a trainee investment manager in the graduate training program at Baillie Gifford. She graduated from Edinburgh University with a First in Chemical Engineering. Our conversation starts with her upbringing in Ghana and the pioneering training high school training program that prepared her for a demanding academic load in science that paved her way to Edinburgh University.We describe how she developed an interest in finance and this then transitions into a discussion as to what her generation is looking for in an employer today. This includes paying more than mere lip service to employee wellbeing, being mindful of mental health, offering flexible work solutions and stretch opportunities. She describes a typically intense and varied work day at Baillie Gifford and the blend of deep research time with industry network events that is so essential in an apprenticeship. This podcast is also being released as part of our Ghanaian voices series.Series 5 of 2025 is kindly sponsored by Diamond Hill. Diamond Hill invests on behalf of clients through a shared commitment to its valuation-driven investment principles, long-term perspective, capacity discipline and client alignment. An independent active asset manager with significant employee ownership, Diamond Hill's investment strategies include differentiated US and non-US equity, alternative long-short equity and fixed income.

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.

"When choosing the field recording to work with, I was particularly drawn to a field recording of nocturnal amphibians from Pantuase, Ghana, featuring a species of frog that, until recently, had not been recorded before. The recording was made within a designated natural park, which was established both to protect species from pollution created by local industry and mining, and also to provide a place for tourists to visit. "What interested me most was the sense of nature existing independently of human presence, often unnoticed. I was also interested in the idea that, when human activity fades, nature will very quickly reclaim a space. "The composition is created mainly using modular synthesis and is structured to reflect these themes. The piece begins with the field recording, representing the existence of the natural world before the emergence of human influence. Gradually, the natural soundscape is is distorted and reduced until it becomes inaudible. However, its influence continues via the use of an envelope follower, which tracks the original recording and generates control voltage. This control voltage is then used to modulate other elements within the patch. In this way, the ecological presence survives in a latent form even after its audible disappearance. "Towards the end of the piece, the field recording returns, albeit transformed from the original and still heavily processed by the modular. My intention was to highlight the fragility of nature and the ease with which natural environments can be overwritten by industrialisation and urbanisation, whilst also acknowledging its resilience and ability to endure, even within human-dominated spaces." Amphibian chorus in Pantuase, Ghana reimagined by Richard Charles Boxley.

The Author Events Series presents Trymaine Lee | A Thousand Ways to Die : The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America In Conversation with James Peterson and local gun violence prevention organizers: Chantay Love, EMIR: Every Murder Is Real, Pastor Carl Day, Culture Changing Christians Worship Center Tasnim Sulaiman, Black Men Heal A few years ago, Trymaine Lee, though fit and only 38, nearly died of a heart attack. When his then five-year-old daughter, Nola, asked her daddy why, he realized that to answer her honestly, he had to confront what almost killed him-the weight of being a Black man in America; of bearing witness, as a journalist, to relentless Black death; and of a family history scarred by enslavement, lynching, the Great Migration, the also-insidious racism of the North, and gun violence that stole the lives of two great-uncles, a grandfather, a stepbrother, and two cousins. In this powerful narrative, Lee weaves together three strands: the long and bloody history of African Americans and guns; his work as a chronicler of gun violence, tallying the costs and riches generated by both the legal and illegal gun industries; and his own life story. With unflinching honesty he takes readers on a journey, from almost being caught up in gun violence as a young man, to tracing the legacy of the Middle Passage in Ghana through his ancestors' footsteps, to confronting the challenges of representing his people in an overwhelmingly white and often hostile media world, and most importantly, to celebrating the enduring strength of his family and community. In A Thousand Ways to Die, Lee answers Nola and all who seek a more just America. He shares the hard truths and complexities of the Black experience, but he also celebrates the beauty and resilience that is Nola's legacy. Trymaine Lee is a Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award-winning journalist and MSNBC contributor. He's the host of the ''Into America'' podcast where he covers the intersection of Blackness, power, and politics. A contributing author to the ''1619 Project'', he has reported for The New York Times, the Huffington Post, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune. A Thousand Ways to Die is his first book. James Peterson, Ph.D. is a writer, educator, and consultant. Dr. Peterson is the Host of ''Evening WURDS'' on WURD (900AM and 96.1FM) in Philadelphia, PA. He is the author of several books, including The Hip Hop Underground and African American Culture, Prison Industrial Complex for Beginners, and Hip-Hop Headphones: A Scholar's Critical Playlist. He is a columnist for The Philadelphia Citizen and has written for Fortune.com, Newsweek.com, The Guardian, The LA Times, Reuters, The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, and The Grio.  Dr. Peterson is also a professional wordsmith who has ghostwritten and edited projects for a variety of individuals and corporate entities across a wide spectrum of professions. Because you love Author Events, please make a donation when you register for this event to ensure that this series continues to inspire Philadelphians. Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable. (recorded 9/11/2025)

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the last few days, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr Beast, has quietly been in one of the most pivotal stretches of his career, with business, philanthropy, and long term strategy all converging into a more traditional mogul story than just a viral YouTuber arc. TechCrunch reports that his CEO Jeff Housenbold has openly floated the idea of eventually taking Beast Industries public so that fans could own a piece of the empire, a move that, if realized, would mark one of the first true creator born conglomerates heading toward an IPO scale future rather than just a channel or brand play. TechCrunch also notes that leaked financials reported by Bloomberg show Feastables as the most profitable arm of the operation, even outperforming both the flagship YouTube channel and the Amazon Prime game show Beast Games, underscoring how seriously Donaldson has pivoted into consumer products and studio level production. At the same time, the legal hangover from earlier hypergrowth continues; TechCrunch highlights the ongoing lawsuit with Virtual Dining Concepts over the now shuttered MrBeast Burger, and the separate suit from Beast Games contestants alleging mistreatment and a hostile environment on set. Those cases are still working their way through the system, and much of what is claimed remains unproven allegations rather than established fact, but they are the main shadow on an otherwise soaring public profile. On the philanthropic front, Fortune and an official announcement from the Rockefeller Foundation detail a new strategic partnership between Beast Philanthropy and the 112 year old institution, designed to blend Mr Beasts youth reach with Rockefeller data driven development work and planned travel to Ghana next year to study community led change together. That collaboration, alongside his role fronting the 1 Billion Acts of Kindness campaign with the 1 Billion Followers Summit and partners in Dubai, where creators can submit kindness videos through mid December to potentially join him on a Ghana village building trip, shows Donaldson deliberately anchoring his image in large scale, institutional philanthropy rather than one off stunts alone. Across his social feeds in recent days, he has continued teasing upcoming high budget videos and Beast Games related content rather than dropping any bombshell new controversies, with most coverage now dissecting his net worth, his multi billion dollar brand valuation, and what an eventual Beast Industries stock listing could mean. For now, the verified story is clear: Mr Beast is spending this week less as an impulsive viral creator and more as a carefully managed founder steering a media, food, and philanthropy empire toward Wall Street, global NGOs, and massive viewer driven charity campaigns.

We talk a lot about tree planting, but far less about what happens to all the agricultural and organic waste we burn or dump. That's where biochar comes in. In this episode of The Samuele Tini Show, I'm joined by Luisa Marin, Executive Director of the International Biochar Initiative (IBI). After 25+ years in conservation with organisations like Conservation International and The Nature Conservancy, Luisa moved into carbon project development—and discovered biochar: a carbon‑rich “black sponge” made by pyrolysing crop residues, prunings, manure and other organic waste instead of letting them rot or burn. 9th December Luisa Marin (1)_ot… Done well, biochar can: Lock away carbon in soils and materials for hundreds to thousands of years Regenerate soils, boosting water retention, porosity and microbial life Cut fertiliser and irrigation needs for farmers Create new revenue streams through products and carbon credits—especially in the Global South Luisa explains how research suggests biochar could remove up to 6% of global annual emissions—roughly like switching off 800 coal plants for a year—and why just 1 gram of biochar can have the surface area of two tennis courts. She also talks frankly about “good biochar” vs “bad biochar”, the importance of standards and lab tests, and the most common mistake she sees: projects chasing carbon money without proper technical and financial feasibility or patient capital. 9th December Luisa Marin (1)_ot… We also hear real examples from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Latin America, where farmers and communities are already turning waste into value using both industrial and artisanal kilns—with support from NGOs, digital MRV tools and local governments. 9th December Luisa Marin (1)_ot… If you care about climate action, soil health and future markets in the Global South, this episode is a clear, grounded introduction to one of the most powerful—and underrated—tools on the table.

« Le Bénin a-t-il connu hier le coup d'État le plus court du monde ? », s'interroge Jeune Afrique. Peut-être bien… Car « une poignée d'heures seulement après que des militaires, casques vissés sur la tête et fusils d'assaut en bandoulière, sont apparus sur les écrans de la télévision nationale pour annoncer la destitution du président Patrice Talon, les autorités béninoises ont indiqué avoir repris le contrôle de la situation. "Notre pays a vécu aujourd'hui des évènements d'une gravité extrême", a reconnu hier soir le chef de l'État ». Les reporters du site d'information Banouto ont sillonné les rues de Cotonou en fin de journée. « Malgré quelques contrôles de sécurité constatés, les barrages de police et de l'armée et la présence visible de blindés à certains points stratégiques, la majorité des quartiers traversés conserve une atmosphère calme, constataient-ils alors. Aucun mouvement de panique, aucune agitation inhabituelle : la vie continue, simplement rythmée par les mesures sécuritaires renforcées d'un après-midi marqué par une tentative de déstabilisation déjouée ». Réaction rapide des autorités… Plus de peur que de mal donc. « Tentative de coup d'État au Bénin : 13 personnes arrêtées, le gouvernement réagit et rassure », titre La Nouvelle Tribune à Cotonou. « Selon des sources proches du gouvernement, 13 personnes (en effet) ont été arrêtées, précise le journal, dont 12 parmi celles qui ont pris d'assaut dans la matinée la chaine nationale Benin TV, et un ancien militaire, radié des effectifs ». On ne sait pas si le meneur des mutins, le lieutenant-colonel Pascal Tigri figurait parmi les personnes arrêtées. Les autorités légales sont rapidement intervenues pour expliquer et rassurer, donc : le ministre de l'Intérieur, Alassane Séidou, puis le président Talon, mais aussi, pointe encore La Nouvelle Tribune, nombre de personnalités politiques et religieuses, comme l'ancien président de l'Assemblée nationale, Adrien Houngbédji, ou encore l'archevêque de Cotonou. Commentaire du quotidien béninois : « ces différentes réactions traduisent une même volonté : empêcher toute remise en cause de l'ordre républicain et consolider la cohésion nationale. Si l'épisode a ravivé les inquiétudes, il a aussi montré une convergence d'appels à la responsabilité, à la vigilance et au respect des règles démocratiques ». … et de la Cédéao À noter, relève Le Monde Afrique, la réaction rapide de la Cédéao : la Cédéao qui « a annoncé dans la soirée avoir "ordonné le déploiement immédiat d'éléments de sa Force en attente" au Bénin – provenant du Nigeria, de la Sierra Leone, de la Côte d'Ivoire et du Ghana – afin de "préserver l'ordre constitutionnel". (…) Cette intervention, décidée en quelques heures, relève encore Le Monde Afrique, est la première de l'organisation régionale depuis 2017 en Gambie. En 2023, les États membres de l'organisation avaient menacé les putschistes au Niger de les déloger par les armes mais, divisés, ils avaient finalement renoncé à intervenir ». Dans le sillage des coups d'État au Mali, au Niger et au Burkina Faso ? Alors pourquoi ce coup de force ? D'après Le Point Afrique, « les mutins nourrissaient des griefs politiques contre le pouvoir en place, dénonçant une gouvernance qu'ils jugent excluante ». Pour sa part Jeune Afrique note que « la courte prise de parole du lieutenant-colonel Tigri a fortement résonné avec la rhétorique utilisée pour justifier les coups d'État menés par les militaires au pouvoir au Mali, au Niger et au Burkina Faso. Lui aussi a pointé "la dégradation de la situation sécuritaire" dans son pays et "la promotion à des grades supérieurs de certains militaires au détriment des plus méritants". Signe de cette proximité idéologique, plusieurs activistes proches de l'AES, l'Alliance des États du Sahel, ont publié, dès hier matin, des messages célébrant la tentative de putsch ». En effet, renchérit Ledjely en Guinée, « ce putsch manqué semble surtout calqué sur les dynamiques observées dans la sous-région, notamment au Burkina Faso et au Niger. Mais les putschistes ont ignoré un élément essentiel (…), relève le site guinéen : depuis 1990, le Bénin fait partie des rares nations de la sous-région à avoir assuré des transitions pacifiques à travers des scrutins relativement consensuels. On ne renverse pas un tel acquis avec une mise en scène improvisée. Il était illusoire d'espérer rallier l'armée autour d'un communiqué standardisé, copié-collé des discours entendus dans d'autres pays de la région ». Enfin, conclut Ledjely, « il était temps que cette sombre spirale se heurte à un mur. Et que la Cédéao y ait contribué n'est pas la moindre des satisfactions. »

Au Bénin, les putschistes ont été mis en échec, hier, avec l'aide du Nigeria voisin, qui a mené des frappes aériennes contre le camp militaire de Cotonou où ils s'étaient retranchés. Et dimanche soir, quatre pays de la Cédéao, l'organisation sous-régionale de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, ont annoncé qu'ils déployaient des troupes sur place pour protéger l'ordre constitutionnel. Est-ce à dire que, malgré la crise qu'elle traverse, la Cédéao n'est pas morte ? Gilles Yabi est le fondateur et le directeur exécutif du centre de réflexion citoyen Wathi. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : « Je salue le sens du devoir de notre armée et de ses responsables qui sont restés républicains et loyaux », a dit Patrice Talon dimanche soir. Est-ce que, de fait, les mutins sont tombés sur un état-major qui est resté loyal au président de la République ? Gilles Yabi : Oui, à l'évidence, c'est un groupe de mutins qui ne semble pas avoir reçu de soutien d'une partie significative des forces armées béninoises. Et à partir de ce moment-là, on ne peut que saluer le fait qu'effectivement les forces armées soient restées loyales et aient contribué à faire échouer cette tentative qui reste assez mystérieuse. D'où ces images, dimanche soir à la télévision béninoise, avec le chef de l'État, aux côtés du chef de la Garde républicaine, pour bien montrer que cette unité stratégique était restée à ses côtés… Oui, tout à fait. Je pense qu'il s'agissait, pour le président Patrice Talon, déjà de montrer qu'il était sain et sauf, de montrer qu'il était aux commandes et de montrer effectivement le soutien de la hiérarchie militaire béninoise dans cette épreuve, qui est sans doute sans précédent au Bénin. Est-ce que le rejet de la candidature du principal parti d'opposition à la présidentielle d'avril prochain est une source de mécontentement dans la population, dont les mutins ont peut-être essayé de profiter ? Alors que ces problèmes de gouvernance politique existent, je crois que, factuellement, on peut tout à fait répondre positivement. Mais le fait qu'il y ait bien sûr ces reproches qui puissent être faits, cela ne veut pas dire, évidemment, qu'il y a un nombre significatif de Béninois qui seraient prêts à adhérer à une aventure militaire. C'est un pays, le Bénin, qui a connu, un peu comme le Nigeria d'ailleurs voisin, des années d'instabilité avec des régimes militaires. Et ce souvenir reste tout à fait présent. Je crois que ce que la plupart des Béninois souhaitent, c'est la stabilité politique, mais aussi l'État de droit et peut-être le retour effectivement à une gouvernance qui soit beaucoup plus basée sur des règles qui soient définies collectivement. Alors, c'est dimanche, en fin d'après-midi, que des frappes à l'arme lourde ont visé le camp de la périphérie de Cotonou, où s'étaient retranchés les mutins. Et quelques heures plus tard, l'armée de l'air du Nigeria a déclaré à l'Agence France-Presse qu'elle était intervenue dans ces combats. Est-ce à dire que le président Patrice Talon a bénéficié du soutien de son voisin, le président Bola Tinubu ? Oui, sans doute parce qu'on a vu aussi très rapidement un premier communiqué de la Cédéao qui, au fond, active sa Force en attente. Et donc, cela pourrait être une manière de donner une légitimité et une légalité à l'action de l'armée nigériane en soutien aux forces armées béninoises. Et on a appris en effet, dimanche soir, que le président en exercice de la Cédéao ordonnait le déploiement immédiat d'éléments de la Force en attente, au Bénin. N'est-ce pas le signe, depuis dimanche soir, que la Cédéao n'est pas morte ? Oui, bien sûr qu'elle n'est pas morte. De toute façon, elle ne l'était pas avant les événements au Bénin. Elle ne l'est toujours pas. Bien sûr, elle est affaiblie, c'est une réalité. Mais j'ai souvent coutume à dire que ce n'est pas la Cédéao, en réalité aujourd'hui, qui est en crise, c'est l'Afrique de l'Ouest qui est en crise. Il n'y a pas d'organisation régionale qui existe en dehors des États membres, y compris des États membres les plus importants qui auraient dû être les forces motrices de l'organisation et qui ont cessé de l'être au cours des dernières années, parce que ces forces motrices étaient elles-mêmes confrontées à des problèmes internes. Est-ce que cette annonce, cette Force en attente qui est déployée au Bénin par le Nigeria, le Ghana, la Côte d'Ivoire et la Sierra Leone, ce n'est pas un fait nouveau qui montre que ces quatre pays s'unissent pour essayer de mettre un terme à la grave crise que traverse l'Afrique de l'Ouest ? En tout cas, c'est un signe qui est important. Après, je pense qu'il y a une question de capacité, de disponibilité. Ce n'est pas parce que ce sont ces quatre pays, dans le cas de cette crise au Bénin, qui se mobilisent et sont mobilisés par la Cédéao, ça ne veut pas dire nécessairement que ce sont ces quatre pays qui veulent restaurer une forme de crédibilité au niveau de l'action régionale. Et je crois que beaucoup aujourd'hui se rendent compte de l'importance de préserver le cap de cette intégration. Et je pense que ce qui est important, c'est que les populations elles-mêmes, aujourd'hui, ouest-africaines, se rendent compte qu'elles doivent participer à l'effort de restauration de la crédibilité de la Cédéao.

Ghana ist der führende Goldproduzent Afrikas. Das westafrikanische Land exportiert den kostbaren Rohstoff in alle Welt – auch in die Schweiz. Doch der Abbau von Gold ist komplex, schwer kontrollierbar – und manchmal auch illegal. In Ghanas Goldregion rund um die Stadt Tarkwa liegen Welten zwischen den internationalen Industrieminen und den Goldschürfern, die illegal und oft mit einfachsten Mitteln nach dem kostbaren Rohstoff suchen. «Es ist gefährlich und schwierig, da hinunterzusteigen», erklärt ein Kleinmineur, der ohne Bewilligung arbeitet. «Aber es ist einer der einfachsten Wege, zu Geld zu kommen». Zwei Welten: Hier die gut bewachten Hightech-Minen, mit modernsten Maschinen, zertifiziertem Gold und ausgefeilter Logistik. Dort die schmutzigen, einfachen und illegalen Kleinminen. Und doch vermischen sich diese beiden Welten öfter als offiziell zugegeben wird. Denn dort, wo illegal abgebaut wird, und wo der Schürfabfall zu scheinbar wertlosen Haufen aufgeschüttet wird, liegt nicht nur Erde. Sondern sehr viel Geld. Und ein ganzer Graubereich des globalen Goldhandels.
