Beyonce course is offered at an American university

 

An American university is launching a course on Beyonce.

The Department of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University is offering a class called Politicizing Beyonce.

Kevin Allred, who is teaching the class, said he was using the singer's career to explore American race, gender and sexual politics.

The class includes analysis of Beyonce's videos and lyrics as well as readings from black feminists.
Allred also said he wanted to help students at the university in New Jersey think more critically about media consumption.

"This isn't a course about Beyonce's political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama's inauguration weekend," he said.

Rutgers also has a class about the theology of Bruce Springsteen's lyrics.

In the UK, a module in Harry Potter and the age of illusion is on offer at Durham university.
Georgetown University has a class called The Sociology of Hip-Hop: The Urban Theodicy of Jay-Z, focusing on Beyonce's rapper husband.

Earlier this month the couple were named the most powerful people in music by Billboard.

They have both founded their own companies; Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment and Roc Nation, created by Jay Z.

The pair have been married since 2008 and have a daughter called Blue Ivy.

Kwabena Bediako Returns


Kwabena Bediako

Kwabena Bediako, who is one of the few young rising figures in the Ghanaian movie industry, has returned to the industry after a long break.

Kwabena featured prominently in ‘Taxi Driver’, a television series on GTV some years back. In an interview with BEATWAVES, he disclosed that he went on a break to further his education and also upgrade his acting skill.

Known in the showbiz scene as IBK, Kwabena Bediako has featured in a number of television series such as ‘Small World’, ‘Sun City’ and movies such as ‘Koofori in London’, ‘Cross My Heart,’ and a host of others.

What has kept him shinning on the acting runway has been his untiring determination to reach the top.

The enterprising movie icon, who is the lead actor in a new television series, ‘Berima Nkwan’ aired on Viasat 1 every Saturday evening, told BEATWAVES, “I am back from my leave. I have learnt a lot as far as my personal development is concerned”.

According to him, although he is a spirited actor, “I am also a born master of ceremony (MC) and have hosted a lot of programmes in the country”.

Following his return to the movie industry, BEATWAVES gathered that a number of movie production firms in Kumasi who see a lot of potential in him are also working tirelessly behind closed doors to grab him.

Kwabena Bediako disclosed that, “Though the money involved in the deals are significant, I have to take my time to make the right decision before appending my signature to any contract. But for now I’m focusing on ‘Barima Nkwan’, a television series on Viasat 1”.

A product of the University of Ghana—where he read Theatre Arts and Drama—and a degree holder from Cambridge International College in UK, IBK is also one of the sales managers at Vodafone and is stationed at Takoradi. He disclosed that he had no choice than to take up acting when the opportunity came knocking at his door, to become one of the main cast in ‘Taxi Driver

Ronnie Was Not A Womanizer!!!


Bright Buk Bak 

After the death of Ronnie, half of the duo Buk Bak, many ladies emerged from nowhere claiming to be the wives of the deceased. This happenings after the death of the musician did not augur well since it was thought of bringing shame to the late. Bright who is the only surviving member of the hiplife group in a report by peacefmonline.com says his brother Ronnie was not a womanizer because he respected himself.

The only surviving member of Hiplife group Buk Bak, Prince Bright (Bling Sparkles) has started that his deceased brother and group member Ronnie Coaches was not a womanizer like it is has been perceived after his untimely dead.

Asked if Ronnie was a womanizer Bright said “Ronnie respected himself very much I respect his lifestyle, he doesn’t talk too much, he takes his actions like a man Ronnie was not a womanizer”.

He added that often musician and famous men are perceived to be womanizers but that is not true because he (Bright) has been victim of false relationship stories in the media. “But I look to God because if I am in my room alone and I cry, it is my own cry. There are a lot of things I hear about Ronnie and I feel so sad but it is not everything I can respond to so I decide to keep quiet over it”, Bright spoke with uncontrollable tears.

Bright added that it is very painful to hear certain things about Ronnie and musicians in general but they are mostly not true. He made a passionate appeal to Ghanaians to come in their numbers to support the burial of his best friend music partner, Ronnie Coaches.

Bright urged all in the industry and the general public and sympathizers to come support the funeral service for Ronnie so we place him in the hands of the Almighty God.”

PBC records 20.6 per cent net profit


Story by Raphael Apetorgbor

The Produce Buying Company (PBC) as at the end of 2012 recorded a net profit of 20.6 per cent after tax returns on capital employment, Dr John Frank Abu Chairman of the company has stated.

He said it balance sheet showed a marginal growth in shareholders equity by 3.25 per cent from GH 47.373 million to GH 48.917 million whiles it total assets grew by 5.4 per cent from GH 274 million to GH 289.272 million.

In the company 12th Annual General Meeting Report read by Dr Frank Abu in Accra, he disclosed that this marginal growth was led mainly by a significant increase in trade and other receivables as well as increases in property, plant and equipment.

However he said the company’s total revenue decreased from GH1.301 billion to GH1.162 billion, a decrease of 10.7 per cent due mainly to decrease in cocoa purchases arising from poor national cocoa production as a result of unfavorable weather conditions.

In that light, he said the company’s total operational and administrative expenditure increased marginally by 2.6 per cent from GH 68.422 to GH70.237 due to the tighter control measures put up by management that ensured that expenditure was kept under reasonable limits.

Also PBC finance cost increased by 36.5 per cent from GH34.563 million to GH47.174 million due to the inadequacies of the traditional source of cocobod trading which became inadequate to meet PBC s needs and hence the company’s reliance on overdrafts and short term loans at very high cost.

According to Dr Frank Abu the company’s performance during the tax resulted in a net profit after tax of GH10.073 million, a decrease of 63.6 per cent of the previous year’s figure of GH27, 655 million.

He noted with concern how it basic Earnings Per Share (EPs) reduced by 63.5 per cent from GH0.0576 in the previous year to GH 0.0210 indicting unimpressive shareholders earnings arising out of the reduced Total Comprehensive Income for a year. 

He announced that the company has completed the process of establishing a factory at Buipe to process sheanut into sheabutter for export.

In addition the Dr Frank Abu stated that tremendous effort have being put into place to strengthen and modernize the head office to an appreciable standard.

He further said the company committed about GH 136,200.00 as it social responsibility to support infrastructural project and humanitarian needs of the people.

ADVANCING THE BETTER GHANA AGENDA....Government to create 2,500 jobs for PWDs

Story by Raphael Apetorgbor

Government has announced plans to provide 2,500 permanent jobs to Persons with Disabilities (PWDS) under the basic school computerization project.

The jobs will be created through a partnership with the Ministry of Education where PWDs will be attached to schools to assist in technical challenges like repairs and teaching.

The transform partnership will also be supported by Ghana’s leading Information Communication Technology giant RLG which had agreed to offer employment to an additional 2,500 PWDs as part of government’s interventions to integrate PWDs into society and make them economically useful and independent.

This was contained in a speech read on behalf of the out-going Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, Eric Opoku during a graduation ceremony of 2,100 PWDs from the northern sector.

He said government took a decision that no segment of the population should be left behind in this era of ICT, hence Cabinet gave approval for the rolling out of this initiative, the first of its kind, and specifically tailored at PWDs.

Mr Opoku therefore urged them to take good care of the tools by putting them into good use for their own benefits and others in their respective communities.

The Executive Secretary of the National Council on Persons with Disability (NCPD), Max Vardon reminded beneficiaries that the training programme was meant to promote and support them for the socio-economic transformation of their lives.

He emphasized that the journey to enhance their lives had started with their graduation where “each of them was expected to take ownership of the challenge of deploying the training and tools they had received for their own advantage and survival.

Mr Vardon said that could be realized in either manufacturing products, supporting school ICT departments or providing value-added business services to their communities.

The Chief Executive Officer of RLG, Mr Roland Agambire in an address read for him by Isaac Appiah, Head of Training, RLG Communications, said the six months training was intensive.

He said beneficiaries were taken through a lot of subject areas including hardware, software, entrepreneurship, repair and assembling of mobile phones and computers and expressed the hope that they would effectively apply the lessons learnt to make life meaningful to themselves, their families and communities.

Mr Agambire said the second phase of the project was on-going with the training of 10,000 PWDs nationwide and indicated the continuous desire of RLG to partner government to alleviate the plight of all socially-disadvantaged persons in the society.


Participants were from the Ashanti, Brong-Ahafo, Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions who had successfully undergone six months Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training.

The RLG Institute of Technology began the first phase of the project to train 5000 PWDs nationwide with ICT knowledge and skills.

The southern sector beneficiaries, comprising 2,500 PWDs from the Greater Accra, Volta, Eastern, Western and Central regions, graduated in September 2012 in Accra.

Each beneficiary was given a certificate and a set of tools and kits comprising magnifying lens, a set of screw drivers, rework station and tweezers free of charge to facilitate the setting-up their own businesses for economic gains.
