Business process outsourcing (BPO)
Brought to you by IPMC
Business process outsourcing
(BPO) is a form of outsourcing
which entails contracting opera-
tions and responsibilities of specif-
ic business functions (or processes)
to a third-party service provider. In
the early days, BPO usually consist-
ed of outsourcing processes such
as payroll functions.

Now it is common for organizations

to outsource financial and adminis-
tration (F&A) processes, human
resources (HR) functions, call center
and customer service activities and
accounting and payroll.

Most services provided by BPO vendors are offered on a fee-for-service basis. This helps a company
become more flexible by transforming fixed into variable costs. Outsourcing may provide a firm with
increased flexibility in its resource management and reduce response times to major environmental
changes.

A company is also able to focus on its core competencies, without being burdened by the demands of
a bureaucratic structure. Key employees are thus released from performing non-core or administrative
processes and can invest more time and energy in building the firm’s core businesses and thereby help-
ing the company create a competitive edge.

Finally, BPO can be a major foreign exchange earner for a country’s economy. India currently receives
revenues of about $10.9 billion annually from BPO. In Africa, Morocco, Egypt and South Africa have
emerged as the African powers of BPO.

To increase Ghana’s competiveness, IPMC College of Technology is collaborating with international BPO
firms to set up offices in Accra, Ghana’s capital. Prior to that IPMC would be training individuals who
wish to work in the BPO industry. Already, IPMC College of Technology has incorporated BPO courses at
its two major branches – Graphic Road & Tesano. These courses shall be extended to other IPMC College
of Technology branches very soon.

 Hair talk with Clu-chey
Shampooing techniques
Now its time to shampoo! As you are aware, shampoo is a
purifier/cleanser for your hair. Shampoos work well when mixed with
water and massaged in. The primary purpose of a shampoo is to
remove sebum (oil), dead cells, sweat and product build up. In addi-
tion, it also stimulates your scalp and helps to make your hair shiny Sam Clu-Chey Adika Technical
Manager Softsheen-Carson
and healthy (when done correctly).

How to shampoo
First completely wet your hair all over. This is necessary because it helps remove dust and
1 other materials from the surface of the hair. Saturating hair first will also helps the molecules
in the shampoo to get rid of dirt easier.

Massage sufficient shampoo between your palms before spreading it onto your hair and scalp
2 with your fingertips. (Never pour shampoo directly from the bottle onto the hair). Massage
firmly but gently. Remember, using force will not make removal of dirt any easier. The ideal
shampoo to have is “Dark and Lovely Moisture Seal 3-N-1 Conditioning Shampoo”. This
shampoo, cleanses gently, conditions, detangles and locks in moisture during the shampooing
process.

Rinse it well with clean warm water until all shampoo is out. Though
3 rinsing your hair may seem simple enough, the fact still remains that, most
people do not rinse well enough. Work your fingertips through your hair
while rinsing. Poor rinsing will result in dull hair, flaky and itchy scalp. If you
have thick/coarse hair, or your hair is very dirty then shampoo again.

After a thorough rinse with warm water – at least 30 second – gently

4 pat your hair with a towel and lightly squeeze down the hair to the end
or wrap a towel around your head and leave it on for about 5 minutes.
Never rub your hair strongly, unless you want dreadlocks.

Shampooing tips:
• Brush/comb your hair before shampooing. This will remove dirt/dead
skin cells from the scalp, free hair from all tangles and possibly pins
used in styling.
• Never use water that is too hot or cold. Always use clean warm water.
• Never rinse your hair with used bath water.
• Remember, any time you shampoo you loose some hair, so, don’t panic
this is normal.

PROFILE OF GHANA’s magician

A magician is an individual performing art that
entertains an audience by creating illusions of
seemingly impossible or supernatural feats, using
purely natural means. These feats are called magic
tricks, effects or illusions. In some years past in
Ghana, troops of magician passed through the
towns and villages in Ghana performing such acts
as cutting someone into pieces burying them and
eventually resurrecting them after 3 days.
One Ghanaian, who is still involved in this practice
currently and renowned the world over is
CHRISTOPHER VONCUJOVI. Known as the black
superman, he was born on the 4th of July 1960
into the family of Traditional Chief Makers of the
Volta Region, in whose hands mysticism and real
magic was an everyday affair. He grew up around
traditional magicians admiring their feats and
dreamt of becoming one himself when he grew
up.

After his first Career as a teacher he went to India

to study Oriental Philosophy and became a Hindu
related Sanyansi (Monk). He was made Regional
Priest of Bangkok Region covering Vietnam, Laos
and Cambodia including Thailand, but finally left
the Monk hood after four years and decided to go
back to his childhood fascination of becoming a
great MAGICIAN.

Combining African, Indian and Western Styles of

Magic, Christopher has originated what he calls:
“AFRICO HINDU MAGIC” which includes the Fakir
styles of magic, Fire eating acts, magic with ani-
mals, playing cards, silks, dancing on broken bot-
tles, lifting things with his eyeballs, mind reading,
illusions and many other Stunts with which he
traveled the world performing at Night Clubs,
Hotels, Resort Hotels, Amusement Parks etc. He
has performed on Trains, Cruise Boats and other
social gatherings around the World. He has per-
formed to audiences which include African leaders
at the A.U summit, lifted the Ghana flag high at the
Japan Cup and the launch of M.T.N, night of 1002
laughs among others. At all these performances
the audience is held spell bound by his style and
the professionalism he brings to the act.

FAT
ATTACK
The body gains a lot of weight as you reach your middle years: self-confidence, wisdom, con-
trol, stature, freedom and unfortunately weight. Whether it’s a joke of mother nature’s or an
accident of evolution, your scale and age creeps at the same time as you reach your thirties,
forties and beyond.

All sorts of factors fight against you in your battle with extra pounds at this period of time in
your life. It’s very easy to gain weight. There are many kinds of metabolic metamorphoses that
promote weight gain as you grow older. Your body’s metabolism slows down, in other words,
you burn less calories as you perform an activity now than you would have some 20 years ago.
Even most athletes decrease energy expenditure (output) with aging. You also tend to be
physically inactive at this stage of your life than you were at your younger age, and it slows
your calorie burn even more. Most of all, the muscle mass naturally decreases. Muscle use
more energy fuel than any other kind of tissue, including fat, and since muscles are used to
burn fat, having less of it diminishes your calorie burn still further. It sounds as if you are
doomed, but there are reasons to give hope a chance. We are not supposed to look the same
as we did at age 20 or 25, so a little extra weight will not hurt us, especially when we were
physically active. On average, most men and women gain 10-15 pounds by age 60. The key
to these years is to find a healthy weight as you “TRAIN SMART and EAT RIGHT”

The art of weaving canes and
baskets is as old as the history
of mankind. Traces of baskets
have been found in the
Egyptian pyramids, and
woven basket liners have left
their impressions inside the
fragments of ancient pottery.
Usually the traditions and
expertise is transferred down
from generation to generation
of adept craftsmen.

As you take a stroll through

the streets of Cantonments
you discover with awe the rich diversity of products created by some of these expert craftsmen. New
times require new technologies, Kwaku hails from the Jomoro district of the Western Region, tells me
they now had to learn carpentry and electrical in order to meet the design needs of their mostly
expatriate clientele.

Kwaku sits using cane strips, weaves what appeared to be a standing basket, his eyes were fixed
intently on the work, hands moving expertly. The basket intricately done with artificial designs was
the product of a skilled and professional cane weaver. A closer inspection of the finished work
reveals a most beautiful Television stand with six completed light shades and electrical wiring to pro-
vide lighting.

I could not but be held in awe

at the beauty before me, in
this open air workshop one
could find hand woven beds,
book shelves, dining tables
sets, sitting room chairs and
tables as well as other fashion-
able decorations ideal for giv-
ing your house or even office
the perfect décor.

“How long have you been

doing this?” I asked him and
the answer was forth coming
with hint of pride “for the past
twelve years.” Kwaku had
been weaving on off since his childhood and decided to work full time in 1997. It was a trade he had
learnt well and has gained considerable experience in.
Kwaku and his colleagues, who number about ten, work as a team on projects so as to finish faster
and their location in Cantonments is ideal for their target market.

 Enjoy The Humour
You should learn to be
more polite
One day, Bill and Tom went to a restaurant for
dinner. As soon as the waiter took out two steaks,
Bill quickly picked out the bigger steak for him-
self.
Tom wasn't happy about that: "When are you
going to learn to be polite?"
Bill: "If you had the chance to pick first, which
one would you pick?"
Tom: "The smaller piece, of course."
Bill: "What are you whining about then? The
smaller piece is what you want, right?"
Trouble sleeping
The woman seated herself in the psychiatrists
office. "What seems to be the problem?" the doc-
tor asked.
"Well, I, uh," she stammered. "I think I, uh, might
be a nymphomaniac."
"I see," he said. "I can help you, but I must advise
you that my fee is $80 an hour."
"That's not bad," she replied. "How much for all
night?"
Better relationship
A man walked into a therapist's office looking
very depressed. "Doc, you've got to help me. I
can't go on like this."
"What's the problem?" the doctor inquired.
"Well, I'm 35 years old and I still have no luck with
the ladies. No matter how hard I try, I just seem to
scare them away."
"My friend, this is not a serious problem. You just
need to work on your self-esteem. Each morning,
I want you to get up and run to the bathroom
mirror. Tell yourself that you are a good person, a
fun person, and an attractive person. But say it
with real conviction. Within a week you'll have
women buzzing all around you."
The man seemed content with this advice and
walked out of the office a bit excited. Three
weeks later he returned with the same down-
trodden expression on his face.
"Did my advice not work?" asked the doctor.
"It worked alright. For the past several weeks I've
enjoyed some of the best moments in my life
with the most fabulous looking women."
"So, what's your problem?"
"I don't have a problem," the man replied. "My
wife does."

 March Horoscope
aries 21/3 to 20/04
Venus entered your sign in February, augmenting your overall
charm and perhaps bringing gifts, money, and favors your way. This
month, Venus moves "backwards", and it's time for introspection.
This is particularly true after the 15th, when Mars enters Pisces, the
sign just behind yours. It's time to revise your plans and put off new
initiatives until you have more confidence in them. Others may not
be getting you--perhaps misunderstanding your intentions--for the
time being. A partner may be distant. A New Moon on the 26th
brings new discoveries and a feeling of newness to your life. Still,
take your time before moving forward. The Full Moon on the 10th
brings some chaos on the job front, but nothing you can't handle.
The first week of March is strong for business income, friendships,
and group associations. It's an unusual month in which you are
inclined to retreat yet others are vying for your attention. Use March
for budgeting rather than buying, resting if you can, and revising
plans.
taurus 21/4 to 21/05
Venus, your ruler, turns retrograde this month, signaling a peri-
od of reflection. You are likely to pull back a little, as you take the
time to revise and perhaps question your plans. Matters from
the past creep up and demand your attention. This is a good
month in which to solve old problems and finally lay them to
rest. Nevertheless, your public or professional life is quite busy,
particularly in the first week of March. Friends are supportive.
Despite your inclination towards retreat and rest, your social
agenda is hectic. There is bound to be some drama in your
romantic life, particularly around the 10th. A lover (and in some
cases, a child) needs some attention, and it's time to sort that
out. A surprise surrounding a friend or family member is likely
on the 12-13.
gemini 22/5 to 21/6
Some complications surrounding friends and lovers are quite
possible this month, and you're likely to find these people in your
life dredging up old issues. Give others space. There's a lot of
activity on the career front in March. While you begin the month
in an adventurous mood, you quickly realize that there are a lot
of responsibilities to take care of. Family matters grab your atten-
tion as well, around the 10th, and then on the 12-13, surprising
events and communications occur through your work. The 1-2
brings excitement surrounding a travel opportunity. Strong days
of opportunity occur on the 2-5 and then the 10. Watch for pres-
sure build-up on the 18.
cancer 22/6 to 23/7
There are some wonderful and perhaps surprising opportu-
nities that have to do with legal affairs, travel, or education
this month, particularly around the 12-13 and 21-23.
Nevertheless, complications and setbacks are likely, but are
only temporary. Career matters could be causing you some
concern, but try not to fret over details. Instead, come up
with a better game plan. April will bring opportunities to
begin anew. A relationship is reaching new depths of intima-
cy in March, and there's quite a bit of talk and activity that
stimulate changes in how you approach each other, particu-
larly in the first week of the month.
leo 24/7 to 23/08
Your close personal relationships continue to take center stage in
your life this month, dear Leo. A close partner could seem a little
mysterious or even elusive, but this only serves to intrigue you
more. It's a good month for deepening a connection, but do pre-
pare yourself for some communication snafus. Travel, legal, or
educational plans may not be moving forward at the speed you'd
like them to be. The 10th brings some financial matters to light,
demanding your attention. Likely, money shared, borrowed, or
loaned will be big topics on the table now. In fact, some surpris-
ing events surrounding shared possessions and funds, as well as
intimate matters, are likely around the 12-13 and 21-23. The 12-13
also brings an exciting connection with a lover.
virgo 24/8 to 23/9
The month begins with a strong focus on your health and work
routines, dear Virgo. You could be digging up interesting informa-
tion now, and there is likely to be quite a fuss over it in the first
week of the month. The focus turns to a close partnership or
friendship towards mid-month, when a special someone could be
putting his/her cards on the table. While it's not a time to sweep
matters under the rug, some care should be taken in all love mat-
ters this month, particularly those surrounding shared finances
and intimacy. It's a good month for redesigning your budget, but
it's not strong for making big purchases. You could easily regret
your purchases next month, so take the time to think about it
before you leap forward. The 10th brings a surprising revelation.
46 March 2009
libra 24/9 to 23/10
March brings a more serious tone than February, dear Libra,
although the first week is likely still about "fun and games". Work
matters become increasingly into focus, and you are feeling more
introspective. It's not that you lack confidence, but you tend to rec-
ognize the need to look within for answers. Questioning your plans
is likely, and in fact quite necessary. A close partner may be distant
or hard to read this month as well. Some disconnects in the love
department are likely. These will clear up mid-April. For now, try not
to push matters (or others). Give them space, and give yourself
space as well. Surprises on the job or regarding health are likely on
the 12-13 and 21-23. The 11-12 also brings some fabulous news and
highly motivating conversations.
scorpio 24/10 to 22/11
You're moving towards a more playful and fun frame of mind in
March, dear Scorpio. Romantic surprises are likely around the 12-13
and 21-23. There could also be surprising turns of events surround-
ing creative projects, children, and family matters during these peri-
ods. Invitations to go out and have some fun should be grabbed.
While love matters do pick up pace, some care is necessary when it
comes to a close partnership. You might find that a partner is a little
distant or hard to reach this month. These matters will clear up mid-
April, and simply require you to be patient and understanding. The
10th brings your obligations to friends or groups to light. Going over
past errors or problems is likely on the job.
sagittarius 23/11 to 21/12
The first week of March continues the busy theme of last month for
you dear Sagittarius, after which life settles down a tad. While there
are bound to be some surprises on the home front, particularly on
the 12-13 and 21-23, your focus is on settling in and keeping the
peace. The 10th brings the culmination of an important work proj-
ect or a scurry of activity on the job. Events occur that highlight your
responsibilities in your professional life. From the 6th and until mid-
April, a lover may be distant or in a phase of rethinking matters. You
might also take this time to re-assess your goals on a romantic level.
capricorn 22/12 to 20/01
The month begins with continued attention to your personal
finances, dear Capricorn. You have big ideas about how to increase
your income. While you will continue to brainstorm about money-
making endeavors in March, your attention also turns to learning,
communicating, and networking. A surprise communication is like-
ly on the 12-13, and work brings unanticipated events on the 21-23.
If a lover seems distant or a love affair appears to stall this month, it
just means that it's time to reassess matters. You could also find that
you experience creative blocks this month, which will clear up mid-
April.
aquarius 21/01 to 19/02
The first week of March is very busy for you, dear Aquarius. You
are getting a lot of attention, and others are turning to you for
advice. Money matters become a big focus from the 8th for-
ward, and unanticipated events surrounding your personal
finances are likely, particularly on the 12-13 and 21-23.
Responsibilities to others, particularly on a financial level,
become hard to ignore around the 10th. The 12-13 is also a
strong period for enhancing or attracting a close partnership.
Creative projects could bring financial reward this month.
pisces 20/02 to 20/03
March is a strong month for reassessing your finances and
making a budget, dear Pisces, but it's not a favorable time for
making important purchases. If you do make a big outlay, you
are likely to regret it next month, so hold off if you can for the
time being. It's better to hold on to your money now. From the
8th forward, you're getting a lot of attention. A partner has
your wants and needs in mind, and work matters are favored.
Your responsibilities to a special someone are hard to ignore
around the Full Moon on the 10th.

In days gone by basket cane
weaving was mostly for making
baskets for the transport and
storage of everything imaginable
from food, clothing, seeds and
even babies. Cane weaving has
evolved so much so that almost
any conceivable idea with wood
can be created by these men
hungry to make your day, of
course at a small fee.

History has it that the art was

transferred across the continents
through the explorers. As the
explorers arrived in new lands,
they traded goods. The goods
were shipped in baskets- thus, as
the recipient of the goods looked
over the basket, he/she then
applied that weaving technique
to the materials of their own land.
This explains how so many Asian
techniques- like hexagonal
weaves- are found in European
baskets, and how European tech-
niques were then carried over to
the Americas.

Thus, the basic types of basket

weave patterns can be applied to
grasses, trees and other natural
fibers worldwide

Kwaku and his colleagues howev-

er are appealing to the govern-
ment for a permanent place with
a structure to do their work.
According to them all work ceas-
es when it starts raining.

Cane weaving can be a rich

source of employment for our
unemployed youth and once
their group is well organized then
they can then contribute taxes to
raise the revenue of the state.

I just got myself a nice laundry

basket with my name inscribed
on it, go get yours at the cane
weaving shop near you.

The movie Slum dog Millionaire by Danny Boyle took
Hollywood by surprise when it won 8 out of the 10 Oscars out
for grabs.

Synopsis: British director Danny Boyle takes another

intriguing career turn with this heartfelt underdog tale.
Slum dog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-
old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to expe-
rience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation
watching, he is just one question away from winning a stag-
gering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire?”But when the show breaks for the night, police
arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid
know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells
the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew
up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious
encounters with local gangs,
and of Latika, the girl he
loved and lost. Each chapter
of his story reveals the key to
the answer to one of the
game show’s questions.
Intrigued by Jamal’s story,
the jaded Police Inspector
begins to wonder what a
young man with no appar-
ent desire for riches is really
doing on this game show?
When the new day dawns
and Jamal returns to answer
the final question, the
Inspector and sixty million
