A General Secretary hopeful of the NDC in the Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro Constituency Kabu Nartey-Oman has emphasized the need for a reliable database ahead of the 2020 elections.
He stressed that the party needs to collate and properly document the data of its rank and file to enable them know their strength in numbers and influence the policies and strategies to adopt.
On his part, James Kabu Nartey-Oman has pledged to create a proper documentation and form a solid database of the party members in the constituency to power them to victory 2020.
This is one of several strategies he hopes to implement if given the nod. He indicates that his ultimate goal of reuniting, reorganize and recapturing power from the governing NPP will materialize should he be given the mandate by the electorates.
Aside from creating a solid database of the party, Kabu Nartey hopes to create a research department for the National Democratic Congress at the constituency level, create an effective communication channel between the branch and the constituency and provide a good link between the region and the branches.
The NDC is readying to conduct its constituency elections and thereafter the regional elections and then the national elections before going on to choose its flagbearer.
This they say will give them the opportunity to get their arches back together after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of the NPP in the 2016 elections.
The General Secretary hopeful observed the processes so far and the overwhelming corporation of party faithful at the grassroots level is improving the fortunes of the party.
AUSTIN — After four days of preseason camp, a pair of Texas backups apparently have decided they don’t want to stick around for a fifth.
Freshman linebacker Cecil Cherry and redshirt freshman running back Duke Catalon both are seeking a waiver to transfer from the program, according to multiple reports on Tuesday. Orangebloods.com broke news of Cherry’s departure, and Horns Digest was the first to report the Catalon news.
UT coach Charlie Strong is expected to address the status of Cherry and Catalon after Tuesday evening’s practice.
Cherry was one of six players who committed to UT from the state of Florida in this year’s recruiting class. Of that group, wide receiver Gilbert Johnson and defensive back Tim Irvin are headed elsewhere, and tight end Devonaire Clarington is still awaiting approval from the NCAA’s academic clearinghouse before he can enroll at UT.
Cherry was recruited to play middle linebacker, but a fellow freshman — Malik Jefferson — has spent the first few days of camp starting at that position. The Longhorns also have veteran Dalton Santos returning at that spot.
Catalon, a former Houston Eisenhower standout who sat out last season, faced a crowded group at his position, too. In addition to returning starter Johnathan Gray, the Longhorns also have D’Onta Foreman, Chris Warren and Kirk Johnson working at tailback.
See, this curse is no urban myth.
Eat your heart out, New York Yankees and Duke Blue Devils. The New England Patriots—Super Bowl-bound for the seventh time since 2002—are America’s Most Hated Team.
Now, it can be revealed: Coming back from a torn Achilles is as tough on a guy as coming back from a bruised ego.
Tom Brady is still suspended.
A federal appeals court has rejected Brady’s attempt to get a new hearing on his “Deflategate” suspension.
Walker also asked for help to allow the state to proceed with drug testing for some food stamp recipients and legalize the hunting of gray wolves.
The requests are among several that Walker, a Republican who challenged Trump for the GOP presidential nomination, makes in the letter. Walker offered few details on what he wanted Trump to do. It also wasn't immediately clear how quickly Trump could move to address his concerns given that some of what Walker wants has been blocked in court or would require law changes.
Walker is drawing attention to issues that play well with conservatives and on which he and President Barack Obama's administration disagree. Walker told The Associated Press that he was "very optimistic" Trump would act quickly on his requests after taking office next month.
Trump's spokesman did not immediately return an email seeking comment Tuesday. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, urged Trump to work with the governor on what he called "common sense reforms to increase flexibility and return authority to Wisconsin."
On the refugee issue, Walker said governors and states should "have a broader role in determining how many refugees and from which countries" are admitted "until we are comfortable with the vetting process that is being utilized to screen these individuals."
"We have no idea how many people may have ties to the Islamic State or to other forms of radical Islamic terrorism or jihadist groups, and I think it's a legitimate public safety concern," Walker said in the interview.
Wisconsin has been accepting refugee resettlements since 1974. Since 2000, more than 16,000 refugees have been resettled in the state from 50 different countries, according to the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families.
One of the leading refugee resettlement agencies operating in the state is Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. It plans to relocate 510 refugees in the state next year, said Mary Flynn, the group's refugee resettlement manager.
Flynn said she is confident in the security screening process that's already in place.
"I also see details in my daily work that I know these security screenings are ongoing and continuous until the person arrives in the United States," she said. And in some cases the monitoring continues after the person is relocated, Flynn said.
Flynn said she wanted to review Walker's letter to Trump before commenting on it in detail.
Walker sued Obama's administration to permit such drug testing after the Agriculture Department said federal law prohibits such screening. There's also been a Republican push in Congress to allow for it.
Walker also wants to charge higher premiums for childless adults earning less than the federal poverty level of $11,880 a year if they "purposefully increase their health risks," without saying what that means.
The hunting of gray wolves in Wisconsin is a hot issue, particularly in more rural northern parts of the state. Wolf hunting is not allowed in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota under a 2014 federal judge's ruling that threw out an Obama administration decision to remove gray wolves in the western Great Lakes region from the endangered species list.
Animal protection groups contend wolves must remain protected, but advocates for hunting them say they are increasing in number, becoming more aggressive and are moving south. Walker argues in the letter that Wisconsin successfully managed the wolf population prior to the court ruling and should be allowed to do so again.

Princess Diana's favourite shoe brand has just been given a royal warrant | HELLO!
April 04, 2019 - 14:40 BST Laura Sutcliffe Princess Diana's favourite shoe brand Rayne Shoes has just been given a Royal Warrant. The company is also loved by the Queen, who wore a pair of Rayne heels to her wedding and the Coronation.
When brands get awarded a royal warrant, it's a huge deal. Having that seal of approval lets people know that certain brands are truly loved by the royals and this appointment has been going since the 15th century. Fashion and beauty is at the forefront of this - and a select few companies hold the privilege; from Hunter wellington boots to Molton Brown cosmetics. The newest warrant on the block has just been awarded to Rayne Shoes - a brand which Princess Diana famously wore when she met Mother Theresa in 1997.
Rayner Shoes is the UK's oldest ladies shoe company. It originally started out as a theatrical shoe brand, before becoming adopted by Britain’s high society. In its heyday, Rayne had shops throughout the UK (and worldwide) and had guest designers who included Mary Quant, Roger Vivier and most recently, Laurence Dacade. The flagship store was on Old Bond Street and was designed by the flamboyant Oliver Messel. You can now purchase the fabulous footwear online and we have a fair few pairs we have our eye on. From leopard print, to statement slippers made in patent leather, these shoes really do pack a powerful punch. They don't come cheap though - priced start at around £400.
And it wasn't just Prince William and Harry's mother who loved the stylish footwear - Her Majesty the Queen wore Rayne for her wedding and the Coronation, and has continued to wear the brand for decades. Rayne re-launched in 2013 after a 20 year hiatus and we have a feeling they are going to stage a first-rate comeback - maybe the Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge will step out wearing them next?
According to Drapers, Nicholas Rayne, who runs the company founded by his great-grandfather, said: "I am both honoured and delighted that Rayne shoes have been awarded the royal warrant … I feel incredibly proud to maintain this tradition and heritage."
