Raphael Abraham Frank Mensah (1924-1990s), a schoolmaster and theologian, played a foundational role in bringing Mormonism to Ghana. Born in 1924 in Winneba, Gold Coast, as the British colony of Ghana was then called, he was the eldest of five children, three sons and two daughters. Mensah experimented with a variety of religious faiths. He attended a Catholic secondary school, lived with a Muslim uncle, and then join the Methodist and later the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. He became an “International Evangelist” for the Seventh-day Adventists and served as headmaster for the Church’s Ghana Empire Secondary School. Though he represented the Seventh-day Adventists throughout West Africa, he also joined the Brotherhood of the Star and Cross, an indigenous Christian group originating from the visionary experiences of its founder, Olumba Olumba Obu, whom Mensah visited to receive counsel.
According to most accounts Mensah came into contact with Mormonism in early 1964 through Lillian Clark, a Sufi mystic living in St. Agnes, Penhalls, United Kingdom. Clark had met two Latter-day Saints missionaries, Loretta Johnson and Karen Nelson, who introduced her to Church teachings. Clark later shared the teachings with Mensah who brought them to Ghana when he returned home. One of his first converts was Joseph William Billy Johnson.
By 1964, Mensah, Johnson, and another convert, Rebecca Mould collaborated to establish a working, but unofficial, Mormon organization based in Accra. In 1969, they had garnered several hundred converts and new leadership. Mensah retained control over the faithful in Ghana from the capital, Accra, while Johnson moved to Cape Coast and Mould moved to Sekondi-Takoradi to spread LDS teachings. Mensah imported Mormon teachings into other facets of his life, teaching members of the Brotherhood of the Star and Cross from the Book of Mormon. In 1967 Mensah and Johnson established in Accra the Brigham Young Educational Institute which enrolled approximately 50 children. They based their school
Ahead of the September 19 and October 10 governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states respectively, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned politicians planning to undermine or disrupt the processes.
The INEC boss assured of the commission's commitment to free, fair and credible elections and warned that where an election was disrupted, the commission would not make a declaration on the outcome due to lack of adherence to guiding rules of the election.
He said, \"Where the election is disrupted and the commission cannot vouch for the integrity of the process, we will not go ahead to make any declaration.\"
He said there would be no point in making a declaration in such situation because the commission would not endorse fraud or function outside the minimum standard set for the conduct of credible elections anywhere.
On his part, the Executive Director of CDD Ghana, Henry Prempeh, said the COVID-19 pandemic had compressed elections in the country.
Since this backing has been removed, the value of gold has risen — because its supply is limited — while some currencies have been devalued as more and more money has been magically created through quantitative easing.
Sean Sanders, CFA Charterholder and CEO of investment platform Revix, said: “The loss of confidence in governments, rock-bottom consumer sentiment and unprecedented money-printing from governments is why it’s crucial, now more than ever, to hold inflationary hedges like gold in your investment portfolio.”

Algiers — President of the Saharawi Red Crescent (CRS), Yahia Bouhabini said Monday that the prevention measures taken by the Saharawi authorities against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic \"have yielded positive results without recording any cases of contamination in the Saharawi refugee camps and liberated territories,\" welcoming the contribution of the Algerian Red Crescent (CRA), having allowed the delivery of international humanitarian aid to the Saharawi in this exceptional situation.
\"The Sahrawi authorities have taken strict precautionary measures against Covid-19, through the establishment, from the outset, of a committee, chaired by the Sahrawi Prime Minister, Bouchraya Hamoudi Beyoun, and the interruption of all contact between the five refugee camps, except in cases of force majeure, in addition to the closure of the borders and public institutions that provided the minimum service for basic benefits,\" Yahia Bouhabini told APS, stressing that these measures \"had yielded positive results and no cases of COVID-19 infection were recorded\".
The same official said that confinement centers had been set up for people outside the refugee camps, adding that \"the tests of three suspected cases had been negative\".
The Sahrawi authorities opted for prevention in refugee camps, \"which contributed to the rapid adherence of refugees to the measures taken against COVID-19,\" Bouhabini said.
On the economic and humanitarian fronts, Bouhabini noted that the pandemic, which affected more than 160 countries around the world, had had a negative impact, further weakening the situation in the camps, in particular because of delays in the delivery of aid at the beginning of this global health crisis.

No. 35436. En Banc. Supreme Court September 29, 1961
[1] CIVIL RIGHTS - CONSTITUTIONAL LAW - PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES AND CLASS LEGISLATION - REASONABLENESS OF CLASSIFICATION. Laws of 1957, chapter 37, which amends the law against discrimination (RCW 49.60) by empowering the State Board Against Discrimination to compel a person offering his home for sale to sell it to a person designated by the board, but limits such power to the sale of homes upon which a loan from a federal or state agency remains unpaid, is unconstitutional in that it violates the equal protection clause of the federal constitution (U.S. Const. Fourteenth Amendment) and the privileges and immunities clause of the state constitution (Const. Art. I, § 12), since persons with FHA and similar mortgages on their homes are no more likely to discriminate against minority groups than those without such mortgages, and, thus, the classification established by the legislature bears no reasonable relation to the evil sought to be eliminated.

In part one of our entry on Harry “The Black Panther” Wills we went into his rivalry against “The Boston Bonecrusher” Sam Langford between 1914 and 1922.
In this entry, we go into two other series of bouts and his bid for a title shot against Jack Dempsey.
During the last months of Langford’s final reign as champion, Wills would take McVea out in six rounds via knockout.
As a result, the match collapsed and Harry Wills sued Jack Dempsey’s camp.
Between 1922 and 1926 when the second signing took place, Wills would see a number of opportunities to get in contention but turned down fights against known Dempsey opponents.
With that said, the world, including pharmaceutical companies and businesses, are scrambling to create a vaccine.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that even though a vaccine hasn’t been proven yet, it’s not going to stop the production of what could be the vaccine.
“We’re going to start manufacturing doses of the vaccines way before we even know that the vaccine works, so that by the end of the year the prediction of the statistical analysis and the projection of cases indicate that we may know whether its effective, efficacious or not by maybe November, December, which means that by that time we hopefully would have close to a 100 million doses,” Fauci said in early June during a live video interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association.
“So it isn’t as if we’re going to make the vaccine show its effective and then have to wait a year to rev up to millions and millions of doses.
In a recent poll among Black American health enthusiasts, over 70% of respondents say they will not take a COVID-19 vaccine if one becomes available.
Deputy President William Ruto is exploring all available options to clear his path to State House amid a sustained onslaught by President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is seeking to clip his political wings.
Some of his allies hinted to the Nation that they were considering the strategy Mr Kenyatta and Dr Ruto employed in 2013 “when they were faced with The Hague cases, which earned them a lot of sympathy from Kenyans”.
Just like ODM leader Raila Odinga did to retired President Mwai Kibaki during the grand coalition government between 2008 and 2013, Dr Ruto could launch a similar fight since the president has openly shown lack of confidence in him.
Political analyst and governance strategist Javas Bigambo says constant attacks targeting Dr Ruto and his allies could also possibly make him lose his cool and launch an attack against the government to create his space.
Resigning as DP, as has on several occasions been demanded by President Kenyatta’s allies, would enable Dr Ruto to officially join his new political vehicle earlier and market it as the clock ticks towards 2022.
