Second edition of Airtel Rising Stars ends in Accra
The second edition of Airtel’s colts’ football initiative, Airtel Rising Stars, ended at the El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra. The Airtel Rising Stars, an annual, multi-country grassroots soccer initiative that offers young boys and girls the opportunity to play, compete and showcase their talent to selectors in their respective countries kicked off last month with Zonal competitions culminating with the national finals in Accra. The initiative which is closely run with the technical support of the Ghana Football Association saw more than 200 boys and girls playing for the attention of football scouts and coaches from the GFA. Marketing Director of Airtel Ghana, Oare Ojeikere reiterated that a team made up of the best players in the competition would be selected amongst both the male and female teams to represent Ghana at the Inter-Country tournament to be played in Nairobi, Kenya. Mr. Ojeikere added that “we at Airtel Ghana are thrilled to see the successful close-out of the second edition of the Airtel Rising Stars Colts’ Football competition. From where we stand we know that the 2012 ARS has been an improvement over the maiden edition we held last year, and 2013 can only be better”, he said.
Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwah who was at the stadium to watch the finals expressed the hope that the sense of unity and fair play demonstrated by the youngsters would extend to the rest of the country. “We all saw how these young ones have treated each other with respect. It is the same way that we should treat ourselves as Ghanaians especially in an election year like this”, he said. He also commended Airtel Ghana for the initiative which he said will go a long way in helping the country find and nurture talents for the national teams.
The Southern-select side beat the Northern-select side to take home the giant trophy, medals, souvenirs from Airtel Ghana (including Samsung phones) and a cash prize of GHC1,500. The Northern Select side also took home a trophy, medals, and souvenirs from Airtel Ghana including Samsung phones and a cash prize of GHC1000. Zone One champions, Brong-Ahafo placed third and took home a trophy, medals, Airtel souvenirs and GHC500 as their cash prize. Inter Royals, GHATEL Ladies from the Central Region and Liver Rose Football Club were first, second and third respectively in the girls tournament and took home similar prices as their boys counterparts.
Airtel Rising Stars was supported by Samsung, Multimedia Broadcasting Company and Happy FM with Sammy Kufuor and Nii Odartey Lamptey, both former Black Stars players serving as Airtel Rising Stars Ambassadors. Six of the best players made up of 4 boys and 2 girls will take part in a weeks’ soccer clinic to be hosted by Ghana next month.

Shine Bright for Less: Exploring the Best Lab Diamonds for Sale Today

Are you dreaming of adding some sparkle to your life without breaking the bank? Lab-grown diamonds are an affordable alternative that offers the same dazzling beauty as mined diamonds at a fraction of the cost. As technology has improved, lab diamonds have become more readily available and affordable. If you’re in the market for an engagement ring or other diamond jewelry but want a more budget-friendly option, lab diamonds are worth considering. They offer the opportunity to get a high-quality, conflict-free diamond at a fraction of the cost of a natural diamond.
What Are Lab Diamonds?
Lab diamonds are grown in a controlled laboratory environment using advanced technological processes that recreate the conditions under which natural diamonds form on the earth. The end result is real diamonds that are optically, chemically, and physically identical to mined diamonds.
How to Find Great Deals for Lab-Grown Diamonds Online
Once you’ve decided to purchase a lab diamond, the next step is finding a great deal. With many retailers now offering lab diamonds for sale, you have options. Here are some tips to find the best prices on synthetic diamonds:
Shop Online
The internet is your best resource for finding discounted lab-grown diamonds. Online retailers often have lower overhead costs than traditional jewelry stores, so they can pass on the savings to customers. Check sites like Rare Carat, James Allen, and Blue Nile which specialize in high-quality yet affordable lab diamonds. Compare prices and specs to find the best stone for your budget.
Look for Promo Codes
Many retailers frequently run sales and promotions on their synthetic diamond inventory. Search for coupon codes and promo codes which can save you 10-20% or more off the list price. Retailers want to move products, so buying at the right time can yield big discounts.
Consider Smaller Carat Weights
If budget is a concern, consider dropping down slightly in carat weight. The price difference between a 1-carat lab diamond and a 0.9-carat stone could be 20% or more, even though the size difference is barely noticeable to the eye. You’ll still get a beautiful, high-quality diamond that sparkles brightly.
Compare Clarity Grades
Compare prices on stones with different clarity grades to find the best deal. While flawless (F) diamonds are the most expensive, many people are happy to go down to VS2 or SI1 clarity to save money. At these grades, any inclusions are still difficult to see with the naked eye, so you get an eye-clean stone at a lower cost.
Lab Diamonds for Sale: How to Get the Best Value
When searching for lab diamonds for sale, you want to find quality stones at the best possible price. Here are some tips to get the most sparkle for your buck:
Do Your Research
Compare prices across sites like Rare Carat, James Allen, and Blue Nile. See what types of lab diamonds they offer and in what price ranges. Get to know the 4 C’s: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. The closer to colorless and flawless the better, but you can save by compromising slightly on these attributes.
Consider the Cut
A high-quality cut, like ideal or excellent, has the biggest impact on a diamond’s beauty. Well-cut diamonds reflect light internally for maximum sparkle. Look for cuts like round brilliant, princess or cushion. Fancy cuts like pears or ovals may be cheaper but harder to get an ideal cut.
Size Matters
Carat weight is a main factor in price. You can save thousands by dropping just .1 to .3 carats in size. A 1-carat lab diamond could cost 25-50% less than a mined diamond of equal quality. Lab diamonds over 2 carats offer the biggest price benefit.
Certification Provides Peace of Mind
Reputable jewelers will provide official certification from agencies like IGI or GIA for lab diamonds. This verifies the stone’s attributes like cut, color, clarity, and dimensions. Certified diamonds may have a slightly higher markup but ensure you get exactly what you pay for.
Negotiate the Best Deal
Shop around at different stores and compare prices for stones you’re interested in. Make an offer 5-15% below the asking price and provide competing offers as leverage. Jewelers often have the flexibility to negotiate on lab diamonds, especially for larger stones or when bundling with a setting. With some smart shopping, you’ll be wearing your dream lab diamond in no time!
Conclusion
So now you know, you can find great deals for lab-grown diamonds that will make you shine bright without breaking the bank. Whether you want a classic solitaire or a dazzling halo setting, high-quality yet affordable lab diamonds for sale abound. Thanks to companies like Rare Carat that search and vet trustworthy jewelers, buying lab diamonds has never been easier or more accessible. What are you waiting for? Search and Buy Lab Diamond Rare Carat today at www.RareCarat.com and find the perfect lab diamond to light up your life for less. The possibilities are as endless as your potential to sparkle.

IHRC AFRICA REGION CHAIR UNHAPPY WITH HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

His Excellency Dr. Abu Zein, Senior Deputy Chair of the International Human Rights Commission and The Ambassador at Large, Africa Region has expressed the Commission’s worries and strongly feel the need to address the issue of government of Ghana’s recent limiting of freedom of speech in protests enshrined in the fibre of democracy.
It is a matter of great concern for the principles of democracy and human rights.
When individuals are denied their right to express their opinions or assemble peacefully to demonstrate a call of their collective or individual rights as permitted by the same constitutional provisions, it hampers progress and undermines the voice of the people which is equally useful for stock taking processes in line with all acts that builds a nation.
As Ambassadors championing, promoting and sensitising societies on human rights issues, it is our duty to shine light on these injustices and work towards creating a society where freedom of speech is valued and protected.
Let us unite, raise our voices, and fight for the rights of all individuals whose rights are trampled cheaply upon without clear reasons.
In an interview with some media houses who paid a courtesy call on him as follow up on IHRC’ Africa’s 21st September Zoom Conference on theme: “ANALYSING THE IMPACT OF THE RESURGENCE OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL COUPS ON DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS AND PEACE IN AFRICA” he urged all stakeholders and research fellows to keep educating and working for peace through a clearer focus on pursuing justice delivery at all cost and levels.
