By Ahmed Sirleaf It baffles me to see how the United States government is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The response is dismally inimical to what other countries are doing to curb the Corona torment. The focus on social distancing alone is not enough.

Imagine for a second, being at your ideal weight. Chisel abs, nice strong arms, broad shoulders, legs to die for and everything in between.  Siting on the couch with the remote control, drinking “diet coke” and eating Lays potato chips may not get you there. You don’t have to back away from the chips entirely for the rest of your life, but reach for fruits and vegetables instead. Getting in shape and staying healthy is not just a walk in the park., but you can start with a walk in the park. Maybe those walks get your feet moving faster…

What a trip! My visit to Africa, a return to my motherland after a 20 year absence was a welcome relief.  Joining me on the trip was my wife Victorine, my Brother-in-Law, Jude Ambe, and Victorine’s mother, or “Mother Theresa” and “Grannie”, as she is affectionately known. Cameroon, my wife’s place of birth was our main destination, to visit my wife’s family and celebrate the Christmas holiday. Cameroon is located in west -central Africa, and the uniqueness of this African nation is its people. The English speaking Cameroonians, where my wife comes from and the French speaking Cameroonians combine for…

And that is exactly where the difference comes, because there is an unambiguous interpretation for every woman as to what dress fits the criteria. My personal clothing preference has been modesty, comfort, and an unmatched drive to stand out. The “what” and never the “when”; the elegant…
