Dear Friends,

It’s been three years since Alliance Française launched their international jazz festival in Accra. In this 63rd issue of your favourite magazine, you will see how this event has grown. From humble beginnings at Alliance Française to events this year at the Golden Tulip, the African Regent and Movenpick hotels as well as at the Swiss Ambassador’s residence. We take a look at the success of this festival and how it has taken Accra by storm. It is our fervent hope that this festival will go national and take jazz to Takoradi, Kumasi and other cities in Ghana.

To continue with this celebration of arts look out for the second TIGA african art exhibition which will be held in early November at the CFAO showroom.

Patience, endurance, and tenacity are virtues that always lead to success in the long term. Our role is to encourage and support positive initiative. Enjoy magazine is a repository of positive information representing advancements in all areas be it cultural, academic, commercial or technological.

That is why we invite you to read the second part of our report on Promasidor as we follow the launch of their new product, the ONGA Shrimp Cube; as well as providing an in-depth interview on their future plans for expansion.

Promasidor’s story represents not only creativity, endurance and initiative but also the all important 'nothing ventured nothing gained spirit'. To Olivier and his dynamic team we say 'ayekoo and well done'.

Enjoy hopes to keep you updated on all the happenings in Ghana. The magazine is for you and with you, it is common property that together we will see grow in strength.

Life is dynamic and there are always movements. We say good luck to all those leaving Ghana or changing jobs and akwaaba to those who have come to join us , welcome to the family.

....Enjoy

PROMASIDORONGA Shrimp Cube

“In Ghana, one company that has made tremendous progress in the manufacture of quality seasoning stock and has as a result

become a household name with their seasoning brand ONGA is Promasidor Ghana Limited.”

Ghana Limited Launches

Following the launch of their latest product, the Onga Shrimp tablet, we bring you an interview with two of their change leaders, Olivier Thiry, their young and dynamic Managing Director and Festus Tettey, their affable and result driven Sales and Marketing Manager.

E ating savoury foods is of paramount importance to people from all over

the world. Spice hunters have long sought out the best flavours with which to season foods. Herbs, spices and condiments are each a type of seasoning used to add flavour to food.

The need for spice has been responsible for some of the most important voyages in history. In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail for the Spice Islands of India on a quest to find seasonings. This quest was so important that his voyage was bankrolled by the Queen of Spain. Many explorers have travelled the world to find seasonings to make their food taste better.

The culinary and medicinal importance of seasonings to the African family cannot be underestimated. In Ghana, one company that has made tremendous progress in the manufacture of quality seasoning stock and has as a result become a household name with their seasoning brand ONGA is Promasidor Ghana Limited.

Olivier Thiry, Managing Director

Alain Gbeasor (A.G): Good morning gentlemen and thanks for this opportunity.

Olivier Thiry (OTH): Enjoy Accra is always welcome.

A.G: Olivier, Promasidor Ghana Ltd (PGL) has become a leading name in the manufacturing Industry with an array of products and innovative ideas. How did you achieve this feat?

Olivier Thiry (OTH): Promasidor (Ghana) Ltd has achieved a leading role in the industry due to its desire to set new standards and set a high benchmark. The team is driven by a strong desire to think out of the box, be focused and results oriented. The use of technology to enhance output throughout our value delivery chain has been key in establishing our company and brands as a leader in the industry in Ghana.

A.G: Festus, tell us a bit about Onga and what we are celebrating today?

Festus Tettey (FTE): We launched Onga in 2004 in four exciting flavours, stew, classic, shrimp and chicken. Within a relatively short period the product became a household name. Having achieved this feat and meteoric sales growth due to an overwhelming consumer patronage, Onga today has built a strong bond with its loyal customers and through this bond we have learnt their needs. As a result of this we developed the new Onga shrimp cube which we are launching today. In fact for the Ghanaian woman and for the culinary industry it is the best product since shrimp stock seasoning.

A.G: Promasidor has a pretty aggressive product development cycle, considering the product range that you have… what is the secret?

OTH: It is no big secret really, for us at Promasidor, it is pretty simple. We are very close to our consumers who are the reason for our existence. Our blind passion is to delight them. It is what drives us and we are relentless in this regard. We do not take them for granted and we understand the high standards they have come to expect from us.

A.G: A scan of the market shows stiff brand competition. How are you working around the market pressure? Exclusive Interview

Festus Tettey, Sales & Marketing

FTE: For starters we respect our regulatory commitments and are HACCP certified by the Food and Drugs Board. This not withstanding total quality management drives very much the processes along our value delivery chain. As much as possible we build quality into our product from our raw materials through to the finished product and beyond. We also stay very close to our public and this enables us to understand and customize products to their needs. This is the reason we involve such key stakeholders as the Ghana Chefs Association and other target womens groups in the product development process.

Mr Festus Tettey, at the office

ENJOY

FTE: The pressures and consumer demand are immense and the competitive situation is quite keen with a lot of multinational brands competing for the same cedi. Our strength is the fact that we develop our product with an understanding of our consumer in mind.

The key here is to anticipate your customer’s expectation and satisfy them better than your peers but ensure that this is mutually beneficial. Understanding the business environment and culture is also critical in this regard.

A.G: What is PGL’s plan for the tablet and dairy industry of Ghana in the near future?

OTH: I believe most people in Ghana have come to the realization that innovation and creativity is synonymous with Promasidor and we have graciously achieved many firsts in Ghana. This is who we are and we do not intend to relinquish this. This will characterize our current and future projects. PGL has in stock many offerings waiting to be introduced at the appropriate time in these two product categories, but you know this is our little trade secret and we like to keep our public in suspense; just let them know "they ain’t seen nothing yet".

A.G: The Ghana Chefs Association and womens groups have been prominent in your launch. What was their role in the new Onga tablet formulation and what processes and standards do you adhere to in your operations?

AG: PGL is growing in Ghana, what are your plans for growth.

OTH: Over the last thirteen years our business has seen considerable growth and we are continuing to expand our facilities. We have just commissioned the construction of a new ultra modern, state of the art factory which should be completed sometime next year. We are committed to continuing to invest in developing and growing the product categories we are in today and our market as a whole.

A.G: Olivier, how long have you been at Promasidor and what is working at PGL like?

OTH: I started my career with the Algerian Subsidiary of Promasidor at its incorporation and today we have established that business as the market leader in the food industry in Algeria. I arrived in Ghana at the beginning of 2010 and have been here since. Working for Promasidor is challenging and very rewarding. Especially working with a very young and extremely dynamic team in a great environment. I love the dedication of our co-ordinators and our series of brainstorming sessions that reveal our brands as the leading brands in Ghana. In short working with Promasidor Ghana Ltd is just great.

“As much as possible we build quality into

our product right from our raw materials

through to the finished product and beyond,” Mr. Tettey.

A.G: Festus, what is the success story with the brands and how do you measure your marketing performance and what should your consumers expect from you?

FTE: Well the success story is simply the acceptance of what we have on offer by the consumer and the overwhelming demand we experience for the brands. Our performance measurement besides key performance Indicator measures is our consumer’s delight.

We entreat our consumers to continue making our products number one on their shopping list, to go out to enjoy the new Onga shrimp tablet and to remember that for us at Promasidor Ghana Ltd, our consumer’s satisfaction is key.

“Working in Promasidor is

challenging and very rewarding.

Especially working with a very young and

extremely dynamic team in a great environment.”

romasidor Ghana Ltd made a great show of their brand presence, when they decorated the premises of the Legon botanical gardens with their brands.

The event saw the Promasidor team in collaboration with the Ghana Chefs Association serve over 500 families various Ghanaian delicacies prepared and seasoned with the Onga Shrimp Tablet.

The botanical gardens were bubbling with excitement, as competitors from "Ghana's most beautiful pageant" thronged the stands of Onga for culinary lessons as well as to enjoy the great tasty foods on offer.

Cowbell, another prominent brand of the Promasidor Company, mounted bouncy castles for the children to have lots of fun on.

The event was indeed memorable and we say Ayekoo to Promasidor and the organizers Joy Fm.

ENJOY health check

ntroducing healthy lifestyle choices at an early age is something I encourage

all parents to do with their children. Teaching them the correct foods to eat, how and when to brush their teeth, not to slouch when they are sitting, and being active in sports are the basic fundamentals of health.

However, there can be a downside to pushing your kids to be the next Michael Essien if you are not well informed on the effect of excessive sport on the developing body. Every year, more than 3.5 million children aged 14 and younger are treated for sport injuries. Another interesting fact is that nearly 50% of all injuries sustained by kids during sports are overuse injuries.

So what are overuse injuries? Overuse injuries are caused by repetitive motions; let’s say from always kicking the football with your right leg or preferring to use a back hand swing during a game of tennis. Overuse injuries are more difficult to diagnose and treat because they are usually very subtle and occur over time. If the PE teacher or parent is not mindful of improper training, techniques, the warning signs could be missed.

Here are a few tips.

• Encourage your child to rest and take a break. Athletes who play sports year-round are more likely than others to experience overuse injuries because they aren’t giving their bodies a chance to rest and recover. Encourage your child to play different sports during the year to avoid using the same muscle groups continuously, which can also lead to overuse injuries.

• Increase training gradually. When deciding when and how much to push your child to the next level, remember the 10% rule: do not increase training activity, weight, mileage, or pace by more than 10% per week. This allows the body ample time to recover.

• Obtain instruction on proper training and technique. Coaches and trainers are there to help teach proper technique and avoid injuries.

• Encourage your child to warm up properly before an activity. Warming up before an activity involves gradually bringing the heart rate up from the resting level by engaging in low-impact exercise such as jogging in place. Athletes should also stretch their muscles to release tension and help prevent injury.

• Be sure your child cools down properly after an activity. Cooling down after an activity allows an athlete’s heart rate to gradually return to a resting level. Once again, stretching may be helpful to avoid injury.

• Have your child wear proper fitting equipment. Make sure for example that running shoes are in good condition and fit properly.

• Have your child receive a pre-participation physical and schedule monthly checkups during sporting seasons. Having an annual pre-participation physical exam allows for the screening, prevention, and treatment of any conditions. Having monthly fitness, muscle imbalance assessments, or wellness checks from your chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist, or sport therapist can help prevent any small issues from developing into more serious ones.

Remember that early identification and proper treatment are the key to successful recovery. By staying informed and being vigilant you can help your child to remain active and healthy as they age and to prevent permanent damage, surgeries, and arthritis later in life.

he Ghana International Women’s Club (GIWC) is an organization committed

to improving the lives of the less privileged in Ghana. The club supports numerous projects benefitting women and children. This year as part of their fundraising activities to support the Ridge hospital maternity ward the GIWC organized a special Accra Royal Ascot Race.

There are few sporting venues that can match the rich heritage and history of the Ascot Racecourse. For almost 250 years, Royal Ascot has established itself as a national institution and a centerpiece of the British social calendar as well as being the ultimate stage for the best racehorses in the world.

Aries21/3-20/04

Taurus21/4-21/05

Others tend to look for a commitment from you this month, dear Aries. Whether you solidify a partnership or decide that a relationship is not living up to its potential, relationships are serious in October! Your mood, however, is romantic but playful. The Full Moon on the 11th can bring a long-standing problem to light. Career and finances are strong in October. It's a time for proving your worth, displaying your innate leadership abilities, and making important decisions. Be as aboveboard and professional as you can � others are taking note! Late October is favorable for taking out loans or refinancing, if necessary.

Work commitments may be hefty this month, dear Taurus, and you should watch for taking on more than your share. Frustration can come to a head around the 11th. October is one of the strongest months for you in 2011 for relationships, particularly towards the end of the month. You are taking the lead, taking action, and romantic interests are never short in supply. All signs point to you moving forward. Family life is animated and perhaps restless at times. Recently, you have been getting rid of the non-essential things in your life, and you could find that your attitude towards moving forward has improved as you rid yourself of excess baggage - the literal has led to the figurative.

Famous Libra: Serena WilliamsBORN: SEPTEMBER 26, 1981 - SAGINAW, MICHIGAN, USA

Tennis superstar Serena really embodies the typical Libras traits - she's sociable, charming, and every bit the extrovert! Her manager-dad claims that his youngest was literally born to play tennis, and who can really argue?! With 22 slam titles in both singles and doubles, and numerous acting, writing, and designing gigs under her belt, Serena seems to be an unstoppable Libran force both on and off the court!

Famous Libra: Will SmithBORN: SEPTEMBER 25, 1968 - PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, USA

Having conquered music, television, and film, Will Smith has proven himself to be an extremely versatile performer. He has a knack for delivering smart performances with wit and style, as well as delivering box-office millions from film after film. Chalk that up to his Sun in Libra, which conveys charm, and an army of planets in Virgo, the sign of intelligence. Savvy Will is able to impress his audience without alienating it. This is a rare talent that will afford him great longevity in the entertainment business.

Gemini22/5-21/06

Purely superficial elements of partnering are no longer tolerated, and a relationship can deepen, perhaps due to resolution of a long-standing problem, in October, dear Gemini. Getting serious about a romance or a creative project can figure strongly. Some of you may enter a business partnership. This is a favorable time for turning a creative undertaking into a profitable hobby. Job opportunities can emerge towards the end of the month. More determination and motivation will aid any new fitness or nutrition program started now. Watch for hurried speech and impulsiveness all month.

Libra24/9-23/10

Capricorn22/12-20/01

Cancer22/6-23/07

Issues surrounding family and career capture much of your attention this month, dear Cancer. A job offer may be hard to refuse around the 11th or a career matter reaches a head. Opportunities to strengthen a partnership this month are especially strong. Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. You are also more focused and ambitious when it comes to your work, health, fitness, and self-care programs in October. You feel inspired and motivated to take better care of yourself.

Demonstrating the perfect balance of self-assertion and cooperation is your challenge this month, dear Leo. You can be impatient at times. A travel or education matter culminates around the 11th. An unexpected opportunity for travel may present itself, or new opportunities to further your education could arise. The people that you meet tend to stir you into new ways of thinking. You can take an idea to the bank this month, or a project can come to a satisfying conclusion. Decisions need to be made, but stressing over them won't help. Love can be found very close to home, perhaps even in the neighborhood.

You've been worrying about money much of the year, dear Virgo, and now is an excellent time to take charge of your finances. Yes, you need to buckle down, but it feels good to do so as you get your priorities straight. Romantic opportunities might come from people of an entirely different background or culture, or possibly through education and travel, in October. Relationships with siblings and neighbors improve and are a source of happiness. Many of you are enjoying more success in your studies. Nevertheless, energy levels are low or they fluctuate. Get extra rest to prepare for an especially busy Fall.

You are accustomed to making everyone else in your life happy, dear Libra, but this month you can tend to your own needs without guilt. It's a time for pushing your own personal projects and interests ahead. Surprises are in store in a close relationship around the Full Moon on the 11th. Clashes in values or conflicts over money with a friend can be irksome around the 26th, but money matters improve overall in the last week of October. It's a strong time to make an investment or to clear some debt.

Conversations open up this month, dear Scorpio, and you stand to either make a new connection that lasts in the long term, or to enhance the bond of an existing one. Nevertheless, you can be rather withdrawn until mid-month as you prepare for a new astrological year and build up your energy reserves. Career matters are fast-paced, stimulating, and sometimes rocky this month, as bosses can be demanding. You may need to watch what you say around the 26-27th. Personal charisma runs high, however, and love matters are strong.

While the desire to be with friends is strong this month, be careful that you don't over-commit in the process, dear Sagittarius, as you're likely to feel the weight of your obligations if you do. Be helpful and involved, but avoid the tendency to forget your own needs in the process. Increased clarity about a love affair or creative matter comes around the 11th, when a new relationship may begin for some of you. Recognition and possibly increased remuneration for your work is very possible in the last week of October. It's a time to shine your light. Be humble, but don't hide your abilities.

October is a strong month for creative pursuits and love matters, dear Capricorn. Your ambition is heightened this month, but you also enjoy contributing to a team or group effort, where you can shine right now. Your support is rewarded, as others can come to your aid or inform you of an opportunity for personal advancement in the last week of the month. With your strong involvement with friends, associates, and career, you will need to find a balance when it comes to attention to family, who will remind you of this around the 11th.

Developments in your career are favorable this month, dear Aquarius. You experience more motivation to realize your business goals and to improve your income from business. You could form alliances that further your professional goals or you might make friends through professional interests and contacts. While it's a generally good time for education, you might feel somewhat bogged down with responsibilities, so be careful not to take on more than you can handle. Partners can be demanding or cranky this month. Resolve to manage problems as they come up.

Financial matters need careful handling this month, dear Pisces, and you have all of the necessary tools at your disposal to make important changes to your spending and borrowing habits. Work can be demanding but also motivating in October. Conflicts with co-workers may arise, but if you tame impatience and attempt to work independently at your own pace, their likelihood decreases. Opportunities to break out of your normal routine abound and excite later in the month. It's also a time to shine on the level of communications. You can be recognized for your ability to express yourself.

emember when, as a child, you were playing outside. Suddenly, your mother announced dinner was ready, but you

were not hungry at all. The passion of play took all your attention. You played all day and wanted to play all night.

Sometimes we are fed not by food but by other forms of energy in our lives. If it is true, ‘that man does not live by bread alone.’ How can we multiply the ‘non-food’ nourishment that is, if not more essential than ‘food’?

Joshua Rosenthal calls it primary food. What is primary food? It is the releasing of energy, positive, overjoyed, redeeming, nurturing, loving, caring, affectionate energy. This energy is released and transmitted by many human interactions: a loving relationship; healthy movement or exercise; or loving your career or job. Any act of kindness, helping a stranger, performing an altruistic deed without being known, a pleasant smile, plenty of laughter and pleasant company.

In modern science, years of research have found that endorphins play a significant role as primary food sources. Endorphins are created to give you a ‘boost’ of essential energy. The more you play, exercise, and laugh, the more they are released. Can you imagine all day laughter and

Primary Food

R play? Sure you can when you were in primary school you ate lots of primary food.

Food from the ground provides minerals, amino acids, proteins, water, sugars, and vitamins. When certain foods are consumed, they give us a special feeling. Primary foods give us that special feeling as well, without the adverse side effects.

Have you ever wanted to eat pints of ice cream after a breakup or a fight with a loved one? On the other hand, had cravings for coffee to get you through the rest of a boring day at work? The trouble is that if you are not getting the primary food you need then eating all the food in the world will not satisfy your true hunger.

Is your primary food filling enough for you, or could you use a little pick-me-up in a certain area of your life to bring that smile back?

Primary food sources: a loving relationship; healthy movement or exercise or loving your career or job; acts of kindness, helping a stranger, performing an altruistic deed without being known, a pleasant smile, plenty of laughter and pleasant company.

Golden Tulip launches “ Tulip Mirror Ball”

A great night was had by all when Golden Tulip Hotel launched its Tulip Mirror Ball. Organised in collaboration with Drum and Gong Ltd, DJ Blow and Karl Aubyn Multimedia this dance fest will in future be held on the last Friday of every month and will provide an opportunity for the more mature among us to "get down" and hopefully get up again!

At the inauguaral event held on 30th September guests were treated to a welcome cocktail and then very classy entertainment. The evening ended for some with breakfast in the hotel the next morning.

Once a month the movers and shakers of Accra will be able to move and shake to the tunes of yesteryear and each month will be a different theme.

In an interview, Mrs Bertha de Graft, Sales and Marketing manager, Golden Tulip Accra said "each month we wil have a themed event for instance Paris in Accra or New York. We aim at giving patrons a unique and unforgettable experience each month"

The event has been created out of a need since there is clearly a demand for a secure and classy entertainment atmosphere amongst the 40+ age group said Mr William Nanka Bruce, aka DJ Blow

The next version of the Tulip Mirror Ball will take place on October 28th. Join DJ Blow for a blow out and perhaps think about it when planning your Christmas office party celebrations. e
