The group, made up of Cynthia Appiadu, Edna Sarpong and Monica Owusu Ansah revealed their husbands were their major backbones over the last three decades.

The music trio who were on Adom TV’s Badwam Ahosepe explained that had their husbands proved difficult when they were away doing music, they would not have reached the heights they have reached so far.

”We want to thank our husbands because they were really helpful. If in the course of our careers we were returning home to messed up situations, our mission would have been impossible,” they said.

They also revealed that aside their husbands being their pillars, treading cautiously has been a fuel for their success vehicle.

“Jesus was careful of everything he did so we emulate him and that has helped us in the last thirty years of our lives,” they hinted.

Daughters have written a book which chronicles their success story.

The book borders on every aspect of their lives: how they came together as a group and how they survived challenges in the past three decades.

Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has pegged the success chalked by his Ministry at 95%.

Prof Frimpong-Boateng believes his Ministry has, over the past three years, excelled and delivered on its mandate.

He has attributed a recent award won by a Ghanaian journalist in the area of ‘Environmental Reporting’ to the success stories of his Ministry.

“A journalist with Ghana News Agency won best Environmental Reporting because he follows our works and reports on them,” he said confidently.

The Minister, speaking on Asempa FM‘s Ekosii Sen show, said Ghana is now producing uranium for Nigeria and Iran which is a process towards achieving the objective of nuclear power in Africa.

He added that the Ministry has also established a research commercialisation centre which is fully refurbished and working.

According to him, systems and software are being implemented to ensure the centre provides ready information on research from universities in Ghana.

Mr Frimpong outlined the tips in an exclusive interview on Asempa FM‘s Ekosii Sen where he cautioned that a new year in itself will have nothing to offer an individual unless they make personal decisions to strive for success and survival.

“2020 won’t be different unless you make a decision to make a difference; it is just a turn of a calendar. Ask yourself what my targets are, why the targets, where to target and when to finish them,” he urged

Mr Frimpong asked individuals to be mindful of the fact that they are responsible for what they become in the New Year, noting “you are a product of the decisions you make”.

The Life Coach said a renewed mind-set coupled with the God factor as well as personal skills and people relations are five essential steps that individuals will need in all aspects of life to thrive.

“Your mind-set must help you to be a problem solver as you manage your time efficiently because you are the sum total of your time and that is what differentiates the poor from the rich,” he said.

“We can do nothing without God in [our] lives; It is important to develop good human relations and other skills that people can resonate with in order to make us preferred choices for roles in society.”

Researchers from the UK and Japan found that the head and tail movements of sperm made patterns similar to the fields that form around magnets.

And these help to propel sperm towards the female egg.

Knowing why some sperm succeed and others fail could help treat male infertility, the researchers said.

More than 50 million sperm embark on the journey to fertilise an egg when a man and woman have sex.

About 10 reach the finish line – but there can only be one winner.

The journey is treacherous, says study author Dr Hermes Gadelha.

“Every time someone tells me they are having a baby, I think it is one of the greatest miracles ever – but no-one realises,” says Dr Gadelha, a lecturer in applied mathematics at the University of York.

The swimming technique is all based on a simple maths formula 

He and his team measured the beat of individual sperm cells’ tails to try to understand the flow of fluid around the sperm.

It turns out that a “simple mathematical formula” explains the rhythmical patterns created, Dr Gadelha says.

And these movements help selected sperm cells move forward towards their holy grail – the female egg.

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, says the next step is to use the model to predict how large numbers of sperm move.

Prof Allan Pacey, a sperm expert from the University of Sheffield, says a successful sperm is more than just about swimming prowess.

“The more we know about sperm the better. This might help infertility treatment in some small way but there are lots of other factors to consider too.”

They include the number of sperm available, getting them to the right place at the right time and the DNA present in the head of the sperm.
