    • Connecting information to emotions and things your child already knows can help him remember things better.
    • Does your child have a hard time remembering directions or math facts? Does he often forget what he wants to say? If so, he might have working memory issues.
    • Working memory is also known as short-term memory. It’s a skill kids use to learn. [link to How Kids Use Working Memory to Learn] And it’s not just an inborn ability. You can help your child improve his recall by building some working memory boosters into his daily life.
    • I combed the internet on useful tips that could help us better manage our little bundles of joy, this is what I got: 
    • Help make connections. Connections are the relationship between things. Finding ways to connect what your child is trying to remember with things he already knows can help him learn the new material. For instance, show him that the twos times table is the same as his doubles facts, such as 4 x 2 =8 and 4 + 4 = 8.
      Memory-boosting tricks and games [link to Top 10 Games and Apps to Boost Memory Skills] are just some of the ways you can help improve your child’s executive functioning skills.

    • Connect emotion to information. Processing information in as many ways as possible can help your child remember it. Help him connect feelings to what he’s trying to remember. For instance, if he’s learning about how the pyramids in ancient Egypt were built, ask him to think about what it felt like to have to climb to the top of one of them pulling a heavy stone in the hot sun.
    • Teach visualization skills. Encourage your child to create a picture of what he’s just read or heard. For example, if you’ve told him to set the table for five people, ask him to come up with a picture in his head of what the table should look like. Then have him draw that picture. As he gets better at visualizing, he can start describing the image to you instead of drawing it.
    • Have your child teach you. Being able to explain how to do something involves making sense of information and mentally filing it. If he’s learning a skill, like how to dribble a basketball, ask him to teach it to you after his coach explains it to him.
      Suggest games that use visual memory. Give your child a magazine page and ask him to circle all instances of the word “the” or the letter “a” in one minute. Alternatively, play games in the car in which one of you recites the letters and numbers on a license plate you see and then has to say it backwards, too.

    Is gift-giving worthwhile during end-of-year festivities?

    -

    A tour of some of the main markets of Garoua , the capital city of the North Region of Cameroon, would leave anyone overwhelmed . The Christmas season leaves no one indifferent, muslims and christians alike. An upsurge in economic activities constitutes an integral component of end-of-year festivi ties, with each member of the society expected to chip in his contribution. As such, traders pull out all the stops in restocking their shops with the most attractive of goods, ranging from toys of all sorts, christmas lights,garments, and other accessories. These goods certainly need buyers, especially parents and guardians,who are expected to procure gifts , whatever the cost. Requests made by celebrants know no limits, who obviously worry the least about what purchasers have to go through. Some borrow large sums of money, others resort to uncivic and unchristian practices to raise the money they need, and after the feasts, start worrying about how to repay loans and balance necessary a

    ILLICIT TRADE IN, AND CONSUMPTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS POSE A VERITABLE HEALTH HAZARD IN CAMEROON

    -

    It is not in  any way a mystery, that the average person living in Cameroon feels very much more at ease, purchasing and consuming drugs, more often than not ill-prescribed by self-proclaimed, uncertified medical practitioners, whose work environment happens to be the streets or provisional structures. For the common trend is that Governments’ action against unauthorized imported drugs lay emphasis on so-called repression rather than on prevention. It is an all too familiar scenario: a huge quantity of pharmaceutical products, described as illegally imported, including banned substances, set on fire in public, under the glare of local authorities. While governments’ action may underscore their concern for the health of the population, one is nevertheless bound to ask why it is reactive, rather than proactive. The destroyed pharmaceutical products comprise counterfeit, uncertified and unlicensed drugs, which leaves one with no choice but to ask, how the drugs found thems

"What?", she queried. " Haven't you ever seen someone chewing?" I hurriedly appologised, and then told her of my curiosity about her snack, which to me looked so appetizing and attractive. Her annoyed expresson quickly transformed into a glowing one, evidently relishing the prospect of having to unravel the fascinating process of creating a batch of fried groundnut paste to an ignorant human being. "First, your mindset must be prepared, for the process is an age old tradition that is very much respected", she declares. " Then you take all the time you need in birthing a magnificient batch of fried groundnut cookies." Fadi has been
