<description><![CDATA[In the 1970s, the veteran curator of the reptile house of the University of Ghana, at Legon, near Accra, proudly told visitors that he had participated in a survey of the snakes of the Gold Coast led by George Cansdale, later of the London Zoo and famous for his BBC TV animal programmes of the 1950s.

Even though it might seem that only twenty percent of Ghana's snakes pose an immediate danger to human beings, most encounters seem to involve the venomous species, or at least that's the way it appears in hindsight.]]></description>

Italy is full of caves that were originally dug out to serve as monumental tombs, often well before the Christian area. Later, it was common to turn these spaces into workshops, for wine or olive oil. Then people added a front and transformed their workshops into dwellings. In modern times, the original caves were usually bricked up, but restoration has bought many of them back to life. I have found two at the back of my home in Sicily. Hermits used to live in caves for peace of mind. They are not a bad place for writers either. I don't spend all my time in Modica house, so let me know if you could do with some creative quietude.]]></description>

In fact, it has more to do with how we actually practice and apply learned skills The study showed that the difference between mastering something and being mediocre is quite distinct and there are ways we can master a concept or skill if we can adapt and practice deliberately.

Students must come to college with the management skills be able to control their coursework, their time, and themselves. They must be well-developed independent learners who can do what needs to be done outside the classroom. Succeeding in college is about more than being smart. This former associate dean of academic advising spent his professional life working one-on one with thousands of college students, many of them in academic trouble, despite excellent high school grades and test scores. Listening to these students, he identified a set of common problems that defined student "un-readiness" to meet the academic demands of college.

<description><![CDATA[If you were asked to name the most important academic skills your teenager should develop before college, you would probably name making good grades and learning study skills. Those indeed are important, but how does your teenager rate on following instructions, meeting deadlines, and asking questions? In college, your student will be on his own to understand and meeting university deadlines and expectations, to advocate for himself, to ask questions when he needs help, and to create and maintain a personal schedule that will ensure college success.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Of all the Ghanaian engineers that I came to know personally during my twenty six years in Ghana, the one who did most to promote the development of the engineering industry, and industries generally, was Dr Francis Acquah. A native of Cape Coast in the Central Region, Francis Acquah was a chemical engineer and had already risen to be Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, when I first came into contact with him in 1972. From the outset it was clear that Francis Acquah shared my interest in appropriate technology and grassroots industrial development and we were to work together on several important projects over the next twenty years. It is gratifying to record that this relationship, both personal and professional, continued almost without interruption through three military coups and periods of economic crisis, as Dr Acquah rose through the Industrial Research Institute (IRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to become Deputy Minister and later Secretary of State for Industries, Science and Technology.]]></description>
