By Dan Shepard Guest Writer Record global greenhouse gas emissions are putting the world on a path toward unacceptable warming, with serious implications for development prospects in Africa. “Limiting warming to 1.5° C is possible within the laws of chemistry and physics, but doing so would require unprecedented changes,” said Jim Skea, co-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group III. But IPCC, the world’s foremost authority for assessing the science of climate change, says it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5° C—if, and only if, there are “rapid and far-reaching transitions in…

Christopher Partridge, Lancaster University When UNESCO announced that “the reggae music of Jamaica” had been added to its list of cultural products considered worthy of recognition, it was a reflection on the fact that reggae, which grew from its roots in the backstreets and dance halls of Jamaica, is more than just popular music, but an important social and political phenomenon. Jamaica’s application to the committee mentioned a number of artists from Bob Marley and Peter Tosh to Chronixx and the Zinc Fence Band. Some observers may be wondering whether such musicians are a good enough reason to include reggae…
The current weather in Nigeria isn’t particularly forgiving; it’s hot and humid – the perfect prerequisite for mesh fabric. This weekend, introduce mesh into your overall look for a more pragmatic approach to style. As an added style bonus, grab it in white colour as it is popularly known that white repels heat. Besides white is the right colour for your melanin to pop.

Maria Lohan, Queen’s University Belfast The right of a woman to control her fertility is at the very heart of feminist politics. It’s a cornerstone for women’s ability to secure economic freedom through the labour market rather than the man market, by determining when she should have a baby. Feminism, especially in its second wave since the 1970s, has been central to producing these changes. For example, in the early part of the 20th century, contraceptive practices were rooted in men’s culture and it was men who initiated discussions of birth control, determining the choice of methods and interacting with…

“I hated my body, I fixed it,” Her words stood out like a ripe pimple. This year I stopped complaining and changed things. I hated my body, I fixed it, (best decision ever). I hated hanging around certain people who made me feel small; I dropped them, I learnt to forgive (I still struggle but it’s a journey), I learnt to be at peace. #2018Lessons — Toke Makinwa (@tokstarr) 27 December 2018 Toke Makinwa has often been open about her personal struggles at the expense of her vulnerability, and I’ve often admired that about her. She owns her truths, her…
Gonzalo R. Quintana Zunino, Concordia University and Conall Eoghan Mac Cionnaith, Concordia University There is a clear disparity between men and women when it comes to achieving orgasm; a phenomenon scientists call the orgasm gap. Studying orgasms is no easy task. We work as psychology of sexual behaviour researchers in the lab of Dr. James Pfaus at Concordia University and were interested to explore the “controversy” of clitoral versus vaginal orgasms. We conducted a literature review on the current state of the evidence and different perspectives on how this phenomenon occurs in women. Particularly, the nature of a woman’s orgasm…

My Dear Daughter, “Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.” – Desiderata. Your journey through life is a smorgasbord of experiences. When you were much younger these experiences were sometimes confusing or perhaps even perplexing and you couldn’t figure out why. Now that you are much older, your previous experiences begin to take on meaning and significance. You begin to connect the dots. In youth, we are all prone to presume that we know it all. But as we grow older we realise this…
