Chief Superintendent Augustine Gyenning, Ashanti Regional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) of the Gnan Police Service, said the police were aware of the problem and that efforts were being made to address it.
Chief Supt Gyenning said the police would deal with any driver involved in such acts and appealed to the passengers to report such drivers to the police.
Mr Michael Ambrose Appiah, Ashanti Regional chairman of the PROTOA, said the multiplicity of transport unions in the metropolis has been the major problem.
He said efforts were being made by the PROTOA to check its members and warned that such recalcitrant members caught would be sanctioned and disciplined.
Mr Issah Khaleepha, Principal Industrial Relations Officer of the Ashanti regional secretariat of the GPRTU, told drivers stop extorting monies from the travelling public and advised them to charge the approved fares.
Sony's mobile phone business and Sony's PlayStation business have come up with a massive deal that's hard to ignore.
If you preorder the new Sony Xperia XZ2 or Sony XZ2 Compact, Sony will give you a PlayStation 4 Gran Turismo Sport bundle or PlayStation VR starter pack. That's right! At no additional cost, you can get one of the most popular gaming consoles available right now. But that's not all: Sony is offering all Xperia customer...
The £699 (SIM-free) Sony Xperia XZ2 replaces the Sony Xperia XZ1, which barely had time to reach shelves after its August 2017 unveiling, while the £549 (SIM-free) Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact carries all the power of its larger stablemate - but in a form factor that's significantly smaller. Both phpnes are available to pre...
Sony Xperia XZ2 vs XZ2 Compact: What's the difference?
From what we can tell, this deal is only live in the UK, but we'll confirm with Sony and report back. If you'd like to know more about the Sony Xperia XZ2, you can check out our preview here. We also have a preview of the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact here.
This election presents the two most unpopular candidates in recent history. One has developed a reputation for secrecy and dishonesty. The other built a campaign on insults and bigoted statements, finally losing any right to be taken seriously with the recent release of a video in which he was heard to brag about his a...
For New York’s Fall Fashion issue, the apparently very patient Amy Larocca has profiled Vanessa Beecroft, longtime performance artist and, more recently, frequent collaborator of Kanye West, who you may remember from the way she organized the fashion show for Yeezy Season 2 by models’ skin color, “like human Pantone ch...
While race divisions do tend to get extremely stark in certain parts of Europe including Italy, obviously Beecroft just keeps taking it one step (or 32 steps) beyond. Throughout the piece, Larocca is fair—much fairer than I might be on the same assignment—but she shows Beecroft for what she is. As a matter of fact, she...
But Beecroft did go to Africa, just a year after having her second child. She set out for Darfur but would end up in what is now South Sudan. “It was so beautiful,” she says, “really aesthetical! And everyone looked like Alek Wek.” She was comfortable in flip-flops, whereas the workers from the local NGOs were suited u...
Read the whole piece here, but probably steel yourself first.
If you wasted any time online this past week, you may have found yourself baited toward one of two social media sensations. One had to do with determining once and for all (or never) whether an unidentified hotel guest in a photo posted to Facebook is wearing pants or not.
The other one was a little less worthwhile. It had to do with running a diagnostic screening on your Facebook friends list to determine who among your so-called friends have signaled their unwavering support of presidential hopeful and nearly done souffle Donald Trump’s increasingly fascistic political views by clickin...
The result is a list of friends bearing the Scarlet Like, the profile pictures like mugshots in this new context. The URL stares on in silent judgment: “It’s none of my business, I just thought you should know.” And the destiny of this hastily summoned manifest is clear: [draws finger across throat] That means defriend...
And that was when a creeping feeling blossomed into full-grown creepy feelings.
Imagine, if you will, your social circle as the sovereign state that it is. Not every potential ally outside its lines will be perfect, nor will every perceived enemy pose a particular threat. Generally speaking, we tend toward open interpersonal borders in our lives, especially online; we welcome newcomers to our soci...
Now imagine combing through this general population to identify specific individuals closely, loosely, or barely associated with and/or in proximity to an unsavory character or ideology. Imagine compiling a list of those names and publishing it; or maybe not bothering with that part and just running them out altogether...
I’m running out of metaphor juice so let me just say it. If this is you I’m talking about, you are straight-up Trumping your friendzone. Yes, you are. And it’s not cute.
For the last few days, my feed has been clogged with dozens of friends and acquaintances posting of the horror, betrayal, and confusion surrounding their discovery of Trump likers lurking among and amid their friends. They posted proudly of the fresh cuts they’d made — this aunt, those classmates, that ex — and comment...
Some took a direct approach with their inquiries: “Why have you ‘like’d Trump’s page?” asked one post with simmering directness, publicly pinned to the Timeline of the offending liker, who responded that liking the page allowed him to keep track of what the candidate says and what others say about him. (We call this “s...
I’ve discussed the dizzying dynamics of defriending and the many shades of liking before, but it bears reiterating: Sometimes a like is a clear endorsement (I’ve found solidarity in communities like I Only Check My New Voicemail to Get Rid of the Little Icon on the Screen and Pretending to Text in Awkward Situations), ...
None of this should be read as an apology for Trump, the worst and most dangerous presidential primary candidate of my lifetime and maybe yours.
Nor is this a call to self-aggravation by maintaining friendships when differing views grow too divisive. Nor is it a plea for us to leave our proverbial windows open for just any noxious fume to drift in because it’s good to get a whiff now and then. Nor is this a push toward having real-life discussions with the peop...
This is just a warning about the follies and hazards of ridiculous assumptions and self-flattering performance.
If Trump’s ideas and approach so fill you with dread and concern, there are more productive ways to push back than adopting wholesale his game plan of blind judgment and banishment. The man is out there, he’s running for his party’s nomination for our country’s highest office, and, so far, he’s winning — and he’s doing...
Question: What is the design philosophy that unites all of your aircrafts?
Burt Rutan: When you say what is the design philosophy of developing an airplane, it’s driven a lot by what the customer wants. When I had my own small company where we had homebuilt airplanes, most of the airplanes we developed were never marketed, so in other words they weren’t done for return on investment. They wer...
Question: What is your process for inspiration?
Burt Rutan: Okay, well I encourage and it seems backwards. You think you’d get real conservative as an old guy, but I did some of it just today. Typically I’ll look at the work done by the new engineers and we’ve got a lot of them who are just a year or two or three out of college and they tend to do things that are so...
Question: How important will aesthetics be in the future of mobility?
Burt Rutan: Aesthetics play a role when you have finished an airplane, get it ready to fly and you paint it white. Usually our composite airplanes have to be painted white so their structure stays cooler out in the sun. And then someone comes along whose only job it is to do the artwork or the aesthetics and he puts th...
You can always make something work by adding complexity, but you can never make something affordable by adding complexity, explains Burt Rutan.
Although the 2012 London Olympics have yet to begin, planning for Rio 2016 has been underway for quite some time. Now, just as the four year clock starts ticking, the upcoming event’s custom typeface is now complete.
Created by Dalton Maag, the same designers behind Nokia’s Pure typeface, Rio 2016 is a surprisingly gorgeous and unique brush script. It’s fluid and consistent, but maintains a strong personality. More than anything else, it just feels right.
The design of the Rio 2016™ font depicts the essence of the Olympic and Paralympic emblems: Passion and Transformation. The boldness of this creation is not only in the design – whose contrast between thick and thin was understood while touching the paper with the brush –, but also in its importance for the design mark...

Stevie Roden: Stevie Roden - Rookie of the Year?
I can see it now, Stevie Roden - Rookie Champ 2009.
Medal wrapped around my neck, maybe even the national anthem.
Hang on, I am getting carried away a little bit.
It is just this Sunday will see me compete in my third Sprint Triathlon - this time in Macclesfield.
But I noticed the first person back out of the first-year competitors will be crowned the rookie champ.
A chance to really put myself to the test. Rather than flagging down near towards the 200th finisher, I could have something to aim for over the 400m swim, near 26k bike ride and 7.2k run.
Training has been going well and I have finally got my hands on a road bike.
An old mate of mine, going back years, has popped up to team up as my training partner when he is free.
And Phil Ashmore has come to the rescue by letting me borrow his gleaming yellow road bike. It is the real deal.
Now, I have mentioned in the past how much quicker I could go on this. It could shave a few minutes off my time. And practice has gone well.
The real test will come in Macclesfield.
So, a better, more purpose-built bike over the bulk of the course will stand me in good stead.
Rookie champ it is then.
Well, a quick look at the times of the Rookie winners from the past two years made it clear. I should dream on.
It appears, looking at their times, I would need a propeller on by back in the pool and not just a road bike but two wheels that are powered by petrol. And as for the run, maybe a pair of roller blades?
If I wanted such a title, to get into that kind of shape I think I would have to quit work and train full time!
I should forget Rookie of Macclesfield. Instead, I should concentrate on just staying awake.
An 8.05am start time means getting up at 5.15am on Sunday morning.
Forget Rookie champ, rising at that time at a weekend will be an even bigger accomplishment.

LGBT Episcopalians Celebrate "Disordering Our Boundaries"
Dramatic CCTV footage has been released showing theives using gas canisters and a chainshaw to steal a cash machine in Lutterworth.
Shocking footage shows the ATM exploding from the Post Office building on George Street in the town in the early hours of Saturday morning (October 28) before one of the raiders helps cut it free using a chainsaw.
Extensive damage has been caused to the Post Office building during the incident which was reported to the police at 4.24am.
Detectives are now hunting the suspects, believed to have been driving a dark coloured vehicle, and probing whether they are linked to a string of similar recent raids.
Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to supply enough oxygenated blood to meet the demands of the body.
Houston: Lack of exercise and excessive weight may increase the risk of a type of heart failure that is particularly challenging to treat, researchers including one of Indian origin have warned.
Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to supply enough oxygenated blood to meet the demands of the body. "Previous studies have consistently found an association between low levels of physical activity, high BMI, and overall risk of heart failure," said Jarett Berry, associate professor at U...
"This study shows that the association is more pronounced for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the type of heart failure that is the most challenging to treat," said Berry. In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the heart stiffens. Instead of being soft, it's rigid and it resists expansion.
The difference between the two types of heart failure is that in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the heart does not relax enough, while in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction the heart doesn't squeeze enough, researchers said. Many treatments have been developed for treating the latter but ther...

ejection fraction, and 32 per cent had not been classified when the data was gathered.
Higher BMI levels were more strongly associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction than with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
If Karla were based on a true-crime story totally unknown to us, the movie, and this review, could be dispensed with in a few simple steps: (1) Credit the filmmakers with ferreting out a story that, in a homicidal genre dominated by men, departs intriguingly from the norm by examining the deadly role played by a woman;...
That's what the picture deserves. Of course, here in Canada, that's not what the picture is getting. Since Karla is based on true-crime story where every tragic detail is familiar to us, much attention has already been paid. And is still being paid. The media's obsession with the Bernardo/Homolka murders, which may or ...
Yes, the crucial question of purpose. For a film, the one valid reason to revisit such horrors is to dip into the well of twisted human nature and return with a thimbleful of . . . what? Of understanding? If so, that's a tall order only an artist, with the imagination to speculate, can fill. But the principals here, wi...
Nevertheless, armed with its boast, the screenplay starts with Karla, who's eligible for parole in the eighth year of her incarceration, submitting to an interview with the prison psychiatrist. The shrink is there to express a few selective reservations about her self-serving account and, as mentioned, to give the pict...
Consequently, no audience, Canadian or otherwise, will learn anything here outside of the macabre facts. Worse, they won't feel anything either, not even -- and this is inexcusable -- for the victims themselves. In the dubious name of "good taste," and perhaps in pursuit of a more commercially profitable rating, Joel B...
Increasingly, in this era of herd journalism, the media can distinguish themselves by what they choose not to cover -- a distinction that readers and viewers can encourage by what they choose not to read or view. Watched by anyone else, and gauged by the usual standards, Karla is merely a mundane movie. However, watche...
