Central Bank of Nepal approves LemFi partnership with Esewa for enhanced remittances

The upcoming month requires traders to focus on normal market operations instead of attempting to achieve extraordinary results. Your first responsibility should be to study real <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/how-stock-markets-work">market behavior</a> through spread pattern analysis and market depth and volatility pattern evaluation to stop system mistakes from being misidentified as profitable trading opportunities.

<h2>The 30-day mindset: small, repeatable, boring</h2>

Your primary responsibility demands that you eliminate all dramatic elements from your work. Select two trading setups which you will explain through five concise statements about their context and level and trigger and stop and exit points. The 1R risk should be set at a small percentage of equity between 0.25% and 0.50% while you should stop trading after reaching -3R and make no more than two high-quality attempts during each session.

<h2>Compare programs with a checklist, not a hunch</h2>

You need to check your trading pattern against the fee structure before paying because your trading approach could be either London pullbacks or NY momentum or slower swing. The <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="http://proptradingfirms.net">PropTradingFirms.net </a>platform helps you complete your homework faster through its feature which allows you to compare risk math and instruments and payout cadence side by side.

<h3>Week 1 — Plumbing and proof</h3>

• Walkthrough week at minimal size.• One-minute preflight before every click: symbol whitelisted, bracket stop auto-attached, equity panel visible, alerts armed, news window clear.

<h2>Week 2 — Quality over frequency</h2>

• Trade the same 60–90-minute window you can protect.• Two A-quality attempts max; skip B-ideas.• Sit out if spreads are &gt;1.5× normal after news; that’s a silent tax you don’t need.

<h3>Week 3 — Nudge size without loosening standards</h3>

• If Weeks 1–2 were clean, step to baseline size while keeping the exact rules.• After a new equity high, the next session is consolidation: baseline (or −20%), two attempts, done.

<h3>Week 4 — Finish like a professional</h3>

• Protect the curve. If you’re ahead, defend; if you’re behind, trade the plan—don’t “make it back.”

<h2>Stress control you’ll actually use</h2>

A reset function serves as your personal guru to help you achieve better results. Start by standing up and stretching while you practice box breathing before you read your checklist out loud. Your main objective should be to obtain thirty seconds of mental clarity because the plan needs to control your decisions instead of your emotions.

<h2>What to do if you dip early</h2>

Stop the bleeding fast. Take the rest of the day at micro-risk or flat. Review the two screenshots to identify the pattern which occurs during the first five minutes of trading when news emerges and create a rule to eliminate this pattern from tomorrow's trading. The path to success requires multiple <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/mental-wellbeing/stress/breathing-and-relaxation-exercises/">successful resets</a> instead of following a direct line.

The thirty-day period provides sufficient time to follow your original trading plan instead of making spontaneous decisions during stressful moments. Your trading strategy should focus on equity management while you determine position size based on stop losses and maintain strict daily boundaries and select execution locations based on market timing and expenses. A small journal helps you convert your trading experience into performance improvements while maintaining organized operations to prevent distractions during trading sessions. The four-week period transforms the challenge into a regular part of your annual trading routine.

How to pass a prop trading challenge in 30 days

For many, the world of fintech evokes images of complex data, technical jargon, and distant boardrooms. But for Precious Oduro, it is a space alive with human stories, one where technology meets empathy and strategy creates impact.Through her work, she is reshaping the perception that fintech is hard, distant, or exclusive, and proving that it can be a space where creativity, intuition, and inclusivity thrive.

A results-driven growth and marketing leader, Ms Precious has built and scaled fintech corridors across multiple continents from Ghana to the UK, US, Canada, and Europe. At LemFi (formerly Lemonade Finance), she has led initiatives that connect immigrant communities to safe and accessible financial solutions. But beyond metrics and market share, her story is about the possibility of a woman rewriting what success looks like in digital spaces.“Beyond the title, I’m someone deeply passionate about human connection and how digital experiences can bring people closer to opportunity. That belief is rooted in her upbringing, which taught her resilience and resourcefulness.&nbsp;"I grew up in an environment where you had to find creative ways to make things happen. That mindset shaped how I approach both life and work with empathy, curiosity, and the determination to build meaningful growth stories," she said in an interview with Daily Graphic.&nbsp;Her love for the digital world was born from seeing its power to open doors. “What drew me in was how digital tools can democratize access making products and services that once felt distant suddenly attainable,” she explains.Starting her career in social media and influencer marketing helped her understand audiences on a deeper level. Moving into fintech gave her the technical and analytical edge to link data to strategy, a combination that has become her signature.

Breaking boundaries: How Precious Oduro is inspiring a new wave of women in digital

Ms Precious began her professional journey at Ringier Digital Publishing [ Pulse Ghana], where she rose from intern to Head of Influencer Marketing &amp; Partnerships in just two years. There, she learned the value of brand storytelling and collaboration.Later, at LemFi, she moved through various roles from Growth Consultant to Country Manager and finally Growth Manager (UK &amp; EU)&nbsp; building user bases from double digits to tens of thousands.“Each role taught me that growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about understanding people, their needs, motivations, and aspirations,” she says.For Ms Precious, every experience has been a classroom. “Formal education gave me structure, but informal learning has been my true accelerator. Every campaign, product launch, or market expansion has taught me something new,” she reflects. Today, she channels that wisdom into mentoring young women who want to build careers in digital and fintech.“I want them to see growth as both a skill and a mindset. There’s no single formula, just clarity, consistency, and courage.”

One of her proudest achievements was scaling LemFi’s Ghana market from a handful of users to tens of thousands.&nbsp;“It wasn’t just about the numbers, it was about proving that impact and inclusivity can coexist, that you can lead growth with empathy, trust, and purpose.”Away from the office, Ms Precious is driven by stories that celebrate women finding their voice and shaping their paths.She stated,&nbsp; “Travel keeps me curious, while quiet moments of reflection keep me centered. I draw inspiration from women who are rewriting their narratives in business, art, or community leadership.”She admires leaders like Bozoma Saint John, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and Whitney Wolfe Herd for their grace, grit, and unapologetic vision.“Their journeys remind me to lead with authenticity and purpose to create spaces where others can rise too.”Looking ahead, Precious wants her work to inspire more women to embrace ambition and possibility in the digital world.&nbsp;“I hope my story shows that fintech and tech spaces are not closed doors. They are evolving ecosystems that need diversity, empathy, and creativity,” she says.Her vision of legacy is clear to build systems, strategies, and communities that thrive because diverse voices were not just included but instrumental.&nbsp;“For me, success isn’t just measured in growth charts; it’s about the ripple effect of empowerment. When one woman rises, others see what’s possible and that’s where real change begins.”

Honoring them tonight is our way of saying thank you for paving the way and staying true to who they are.”YFM management revealed that recognizing artistes who have made remarkable contributions to music and culture was introduced as a new feature of this year’s Area Codes Jam and will be sustained in future editions.

Two of Ghana’s most distinctive voices, Lasmid and King Promise, have come together for one of 2025’s most exciting collaborations.

For anyone who reads long news pieces at midnight, dark mode can be a blessing or a curse. The best dark mode settings for reading are not simply about turning backgrounds black. They depend on how contrast ratios, font weight, and subtle motion interact with the eye when ambient light is low. Too much contrast, and letters glow like neon on asphalt. Too little, and words melt into the screen. The goal is balance — high enough contrast to stay legible without overwhelming the retina.

<h2 style="text-align: justify">The Science of Comfortable Contrast</h2>

<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/contrast-minimum.html#:~:text=The%20contrast%20ratio%20of%204.5,GITTINGS%2DFOZARD%5D">Research from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines</a> (WCAG 2.2) recommends a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for body text. In practice, this means pure white text on pure black is often too harsh. Off-white (#E0E0E0) against dark gray (#121212) creates softer luminance transitions that reduce strain for long reading sessions. Many modern apps already use this range, avoiding deep black backgrounds because they exaggerate edge halos and increase perceived flicker on OLED screens.Font weight also changes how readable text feels at night. Thin sans-serif fonts can fade against dark backgrounds, while heavy ones create glowing edges. A medium weight (400–500) works best for paragraphs, with a slightly bolder headline around 600. Consistency matters more than style; mixing font weights can confuse the eye when light levels are low.&nbsp;Dark mode design, at its best, teaches restraint. The goal isn’t just to invert colors but to preserve focus across varied lighting. This applies in light mode too. Designers also need to think about how to integrate color and manage background hues and banners effectively. A strong example of this principle can be seen in the SlotsLV Casino.&nbsp;The <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.slots.lv">SlotsLV Casino</a> site uses a bright, white-based layout with colorful banners and clear visual hierarchy — a design that keeps the interface lively and easy to navigate. Although there’s no dark mode, the site designers have managed to create a page that is easy on the eyes, using bands of color to highlight different areas and guide the viewer through relevant information. Warm hues are prevalent, making the site feel welcoming and comfortable.And if you look at the games catalog, you’ll see how white space is used to mark out the games and maintain structure, ensuring that everything feels clear and ordered. This is particularly important given the size of the catalog; to maximize user-friendliness, a clean layout is a must.

<h2 style="text-align: justify">How Light and Color Shape Perception</h2>

Contrast isn’t the only factor that shapes comfort. The environment around a screen—its lighting, reflections, and warmth—changes how users perceive depth and sharpness. YouTube itself demonstrates this balance better than almost any other platform.&nbsp;Its built-in light and dark mode toggle lets viewers experience how background tone changes the feel of the entire interface in real time. A simple switch to dark mode shifts focus toward the video content, while light mode opens up the space visually, giving a more active and energetic impression. Within that same ecosystem, the video What Makes the Perfect Game? by SlotsLV Casino becomes an interesting case study in how ambient light and color temperature influence perception.

Watching it with YouTube’s dark mode enabled gives the footage a more cinematic tone, where details appear sharper against the dark interface. Switching back to light mode softens that contrast, making the presentation feel brighter and more dynamic. This simple experiment shows how interface context — not just the video itself — shapes what we notice and how long we stay visually engaged.The takeaway for late-night readers is the same: your surroundings and screen settings work together. Whether it’s watching a video or reading an article, contrast and lighting can either calm the eyes or keep them constantly adjusting. Balancing both creates a viewing and reading experience that feels effortless.

<h2 style="text-align: justify">Reducing Motion and Blue Light Stress</h2>

Dark mode should also respect motion sensitivity. Subtle scroll inertia or animations might look smooth in daylight, but they can cause dizziness in low light, especially on OLED displays with instant pixel response. Most Android and iOS devices include “Reduce Motion” settings that cut parallax and fading transitions. For readers who get mild headaches or vertigo, enabling these features can make scrolling through news feeds noticeably calmer.Blue light filters remain optional but useful before sleep.<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8929548/"> Studies suggest warmer lights</a> (typically below 3000K) preserve melatonin levels better than cold white screens, and you can apply this information to your devices as well as your ambient lighting. Most phones now include adaptive night filters that gradually shift color temperature. Combined with a warm lamp, this reduces sudden contrast spikes and helps your eyes recover between sessions.

<h2 style="text-align: justify">Building a Night-Friendly Reading Routine</h2>

Design alone cannot fix eye strain. The way you use screens at night matters just as much. A few habits make a real difference:<ol><li>Pause every 20 minutes — look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to relax your eye muscles.</li><li>Keep text size consistent — zooming in and out repeatedly causes micro-adjustments that fatigue the ciliary muscles.</li><li>Adjust viewing distance — holding your phone 16–18 inches away reduces glare and optical distortion.</li><li>Use neutral backgrounds for images — avoid flashing banners or bright thumbnails while reading long articles.</li></ol>

<h2 style="text-align: justify">Quick Reference for Optimal Dark Mode</h2>

<h2 style="text-align: justify">The Takeaway</h2>

The best dark mode settings for reading are not one-size-fits-all. They depend on context, light, and sensitivity. For readers in regions with frequent power fluctuations or low ambient light, subtle design adjustments matter even more. Aim for mid-grey backgrounds, balanced contrast, steady font weight, and gentle motion. Match your environment with warm light instead of total darkness.

Football fans are in for another treat – the Champions League will bring several exciting matches. Especially for you, the best sports betting site <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="http://1xplayers.com/7pbK57bg">1xBet </a>has made a preview of the most interesting games. The main thing to remember is that betting is a source of excitement, not a way to make money.

<h2>Liverpool vs Real Madrid, November 4</h2>

After a successful start to the season, Liverpool hit a rough patch, losing several games in a row. But the crushing away victory over Eintracht Frankfurt (5-1) in the previous Champions League round showed that Arne Slot’s team shouldn’t be written off just yet. Besides, the Merseysiders confidently defeated the Meringues at home last year and beat another Madrid giant, Atlético, in the current campaign.That’s why the English champions are the favorites in the match at Anfield. What could stop Liverpool? The Reds will push forward, while Real Madrid, with the incredible Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior in their ranks, are very dangerous on the counterattack. Barcelona found this out the hard way when they lost the first El Clásico of the season.Odds: W1 – 2.338, X – 4.02, W2 – 2.95

<h2>Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich, November 4</h2>

<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="http://1xplayers.com/7pbK57bg">This will be the battle</a> between the tournament leaders, who haven’t lost a single point so far. What’s more, Bayern have won all their matches this season, while PSG have already stumbled three times in Ligue 1, although they’re still at the top. The reigning champions are showing their best football in the Champions League, where they’ve managed to defeat Barcelona away and score 11 goals against Atalanta and Leverkusen.Looking at the odds, the Bavarians seem to be the underdogs. But the German champions have Harry Kane, who has already scored 20 goals in all competitions this season, so you need to be very careful when betting against them.Odds: W1 – 2.265, X – 4.18, W2 – 2.95

<h2>Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund, November 5</h2>

Man City are the clear favorites in the upcoming home game. But the Citizens are very dependent on Erling Haaland: if the Norwegian doesn’t score, the team starts to struggle. Will Borussia be able to stop their former star? That’s the main intrigue of the match.However, Man City will also find it difficult to stop Guirassy, Adeyemi and other attacking players of Niko Kovač’s team. In each of the previous three rounds, Borussia scored 4 goals, and only Juventus managed to evade defeat thanks to impressive willpower and incredible luck.Odds: W1 – 1.44, X – 5.15, W2 – 7.85<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="http://1xplayers.com/7pbK57bg">Use this preview</a> from the best sports betting site to make successful predictions for these and other Champions League matches.

The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) today launched the In- Country YouthADAPT Demo Day Events under the African Adaptation Acceleration Program(AAAP). The events mark a significant milestone in empowering Africa’s next generation of climate entrepreneurs, providing them with investment, mentorship, and pathways to scale up their innovative adaptation solutions.&nbsp;Over the coming weeks, youth-led enterprises from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Nigeria will compete in a series of national Demo Day events. From a pool of over 500 applicants, up to 100 enterprises—approximately 20 per country—have been shortlisted to pitch their ideas before panels of distinguished jurists and investors. Their innovations span sectors critical to Africa’s climate resilience,&nbsp;including food security and resilient infrastructure.&nbsp;

Each country’s event will showcase the ingenuity of young Africans tackling some of the continent’s most pressing climate challenges in agriculture and infrastructure with locally grounded, commercially viable solutions. The top 10 enterprises (two per country) will be awarded USD 30,000 grants and enrolled in a year-long acceleration and mentorship program, equipping them to attract long-term investment and scale their impact.&nbsp;

Professor Patrick V. Verkooijen, President and CEO of the Global Center on Adaptation, said: “Africa’s youth are not just victims of the climate crisis—they are architects of the solutions. Through our YouthADAPT challenge we are turning their ideas into investable, impactful businesses. This is practical climate leadership: aligning innovation with national priorities and NDCs, creating decent jobs and strengthening food systems and infrastructure where it matters most. I call on banks, development finance institutions, impact investors, and corporate partners to join us—so that by COP30 and beyond, we can scale these solutions to scale.”&nbsp;

The Demo Day events are designed to bridge the financing gap for youth-led adaptation enterprises by linking them directly with domestic and regional private-sector investors. Participating investors will gain access to a curated pipeline of high-potential enterprises through pitch sessions and private deal rooms, supported by transaction advisory and due diligence facilitation from the Kenya Climate InnovationCentre (KCIC) on behalf of GCA.&nbsp;

Joseph Murabula, Chief Executive Officer Kenya Climate Innovation Center said, "We all know that Africa’s greatest resource is its innovative, youthful population. We are moving beyond this rhetoric to action. Through the In-Country YouthADAPT 2025 Challenge, we are providing Africanyouth with the essential tools, including funding, mentorship, and market access, to turn their climate adaptation solutions into viable businesses. This is how we build climate resilience from the ground up, strengthening food security and critical infrastructure”.&nbsp;The YouthADAPT Demo Day in Ghana is being organized in partnership with Fidelity Bank’s GreenTechInnovation Challenge, a platform that challenges and empowers young Ghanaians to drive innovative solutions for sustainability in the agribusiness sector.

Property valuation represents both art and science, but the specific methodologies and factors that drive property values vary dramatically between urban and rural locations. Understanding these differences proves crucial for property owners, buyers, and investors who need accurate assessments that reflect the unique characteristics and market dynamics affecting properties in different geographical settings.&nbsp;The fundamental drivers of property value shift significantly as you move from bustling city centres to quiet countryside locations, with urban valuations typically emphasising convenience, connectivity, and amenities whilst rural assessments focus more heavily on land area, privacy, and lifestyle factors. These differences affect not only how properties are valued but also how quickly they sell, what buyers prioritise, and how market trends impact different location types. Whether you're looking to <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.fineandcountry.co.uk/value-my-property/home-visit-valuation">value my home</a> in a metropolitan area or a countryside setting, understanding these location-specific factors ensures more accurate valuations that reflect genuine market conditions rather than inappropriate comparisons.

<h2>Comparable Sales Methodology Differences&nbsp;</h2>

Urban property valuations benefit from abundant comparable sales data, with numerous similar properties trading regularly within close proximity, enabling precise like-for-like comparisons that provide reliable valuation benchmarks. Dense housing markets generate sufficient transaction volumes to establish clear pricing patterns for different property types and sizes.&nbsp;Rural valuations face significant challenges in finding truly comparable properties, as country homes often feature unique characteristics including substantial land holdings, period features, or unusual layouts that make direct comparisons difficult. Limited transaction volumes in rural areas mean comparable sales might be spread across wider geographical areas or longer time periods.&nbsp;The definition of "comparable" expands in rural markets to include properties with similar lifestyle appeal rather than identical physical characteristics, requiring valuers to assess factors like privacy, views, and land quality that don't feature prominently in urban valuations focused on standardised property attributes.

<h2>Location Premium Calculations&nbsp;</h2>

Urban location premiums typically reflect transport accessibility, with properties near Underground stations, bus routes, or major roads commanding significant premiums over less connected alternatives. Distance from transport links often correlates directly with property values in measurable ways that enable precise premium calculations.&nbsp;Rural location values depend more on subjective factors including scenic quality, tranquillity, and privacy that prove harder to quantify objectively. A property with stunning countryside views might command substantial premiums, but determining exactly how much requires local market knowledge and understanding of buyer preferences.&nbsp;School catchment areas influence both urban and rural values, but the impact manifests differently. Urban areas might see sharp value differentials between adjacent streets in different catchments, whilst rural areas often encompass multiple villages within single catchment areas, spreading the premium across larger geographical zones.

<h2>Land Value Assessment Approaches&nbsp;</h2>

Urban properties typically include minimal land beyond the building footprint, with gardens and outdoor space valued on a per-square-foot basis similar to internal accommodation. The scarcity of outdoor space in cities means gardens command significant premiums relative to their size.&nbsp;Rural properties often include substantial land holdings that require specialist agricultural or development land valuation alongside residential assessment. Understanding agricultural land values, sporting rights, and development potential becomes crucial for accurate rural property valuation that accounts for all asset components.&nbsp;Planning permission potential affects land value calculations differently in urban versus rural settings. Urban sites might benefit from potential development uplift through permitted development rights or intensification opportunities, whilst rural land faces stricter planning controls but might offer premium residential development potential in appropriate circumstances.

<h2>Amenity and Infrastructure Weighting&nbsp;</h2>

Urban valuations heavily weight access to amenities including shops, restaurants, healthcare, and cultural facilities, with walkable access to diverse amenities typically commanding premium prices. The variety and quality of local amenities directly influence property desirability and market values.&nbsp;Rural properties derive value from different amenity types including natural features, recreational opportunities, and community facilities that serve different lifestyle priorities. Country properties benefit from equestrian facilities, fishing rights, or proximity to National Trust properties rather than urban conveniences.&nbsp;Infrastructure quality affects valuations differently, with urban properties requiring reliable public transport whilst rural homes depend more on road access quality, broadband connectivity, and utility service reliability that enable comfortable countryside living despite geographic isolation.

<h2>Market Liquidity and Transaction Timing&nbsp;</h2>

Urban property markets typically demonstrate higher liquidity with faster sale times due to larger buyer pools and more standardised property types that appeal to broader market segments. Standard urban properties often sell within 8-12 weeks in normal market conditions.&nbsp;Rural properties frequently experience longer marketing periods due to specialist buyer requirements and limited comparable alternatives. Country houses might take 6-12 months to sell as buyers need time to appreciate unique features and arrange specialist financing for larger properties.&nbsp;Seasonal variations affect rural markets more significantly than urban alternatives, with countryside properties often achieving better prices during spring and summer when gardens and outdoor spaces present most attractively, whilst urban properties maintain more consistent appeal throughout the year.

<h2>Valuation Methodology Adaptations&nbsp;</h2>

Residential investment method becomes more relevant for urban properties where rental yields can be calculated accurately using abundant comparable rental evidence and standardised property types that appeal to identifiable tenant demographics with predictable rental levels.&nbsp;Rural properties require modified approaches that consider lifestyle value alongside financial returns, as many country properties attract owner-occupiers seeking quality of life improvements rather than purely financial property investments, affecting valuation methodology selection and weighting.Development potential assessment differs significantly between locations, with urban sites offering infill development or conversion opportunities under permitted development rights, whilst rural properties might offer agricultural conversion potential or residential development subject to planning permission complexities.

<h2>Professional Expertise Requirements&nbsp;</h2>

Urban valuers typically specialise in specific property types or geographical areas, developing detailed knowledge of local markets, transport developments, and regeneration projects that affect property values within focused geographical areas where they can maintain current market intelligence.&nbsp;Rural valuers require broader geographical knowledge spanning multiple market towns and countryside areas, combined with specialist understanding of agricultural land, equestrian facilities, and countryside lifestyle factors that influence property appeal and market values significantly.&nbsp;Local market knowledge proves crucial in both settings but manifests differently. Urban valuers must understand transport improvements, planning applications, and demographic changes affecting specific neighbourhoods, whilst rural specialists need insight into agricultural trends, tourism development, and countryside policy changes.

<h2>Economic Factor Sensitivity&nbsp;</h2>

Urban property values typically respond more quickly to economic changes including employment trends, interest rate movements, and demographic shifts that affect buyer demand and affordability in markets with high transaction volumes and diverse buyer pools.&nbsp;Rural markets often demonstrate different economic sensitivities, with countryside properties potentially benefiting from urban economic pressures that drive lifestyle migration whilst being less affected by local employment changes due to their appeal to retired buyers or remote workers.&nbsp;Currency fluctuations and international economic factors affect rural and urban markets differently, with prime rural properties often attracting international buyers seeking lifestyle assets, whilst urban markets respond more to domestic economic conditions and employment trends.

<h2>Technology and Remote Valuation Challenges&nbsp;</h2>

Automated valuation models work more effectively in urban areas where abundant comparable data enables algorithm-based assessments that provide reasonable accuracy for standard property types within established residential areas with predictable market patterns.&nbsp;Rural properties present significant challenges for automated systems due to unique characteristics, limited comparable data, and lifestyle factors that require human assessment and local market knowledge to evaluate accurately, making professional valuation essential for reliable results.&nbsp;Drone surveys and satellite imagery provide valuable supplementary information for rural property assessment, enabling evaluation of land boundaries, agricultural facilities, and environmental features that affect property values but might not be apparent from ground-level inspection alone.

<h2>Future Trends and Market Evolution&nbsp;</h2>

Hybrid working patterns are reshaping the relationship between urban and rural property values, with improved connectivity enabling countryside living whilst maintaining career opportunities, potentially reducing traditional urban premiums whilst increasing rural property demand.&nbsp;Environmental factors including flood risk, climate change adaptation, and sustainability credentials increasingly influence property values in both locations, though specific considerations differ between urban resilience planning and rural environmental stewardship requirements.&nbsp;Understanding these valuation differences enables more accurate property assessment whilst ensuring that location-specific factors receive appropriate weighting in valuation calculations that reflect genuine market conditions and buyer preferences within specific geographical settings rather than inappropriate application of generalised valuation approaches.&nbsp;

How Property Valuations Differ Between Urban and Rural Locations

Following the success of She Creates in Lagos earlier in the year, Handle It Africa, with support from the British Council, continued its mission of amplifying African creative voices with “Creating Beyond Borders” in Accra, Ghana.Held on October 24, 2025, at the British Council office in Accra, Creating Beyond Borders brought together more than 60 creatives from across Ghana for an intimate evening of conversation, storytelling, and collaboration.The gathering featured filmmakers, content creators, visual artists, actors, designers, bloggers, digital strategists, and media personalities - all united by a shared purpose: to explore how African creators are expanding their influence beyond geography and language while staying true to their roots.

The event opened with a film screening session, showcasing short films from Ghanaian filmmakers, including an acclaimed animation “The Guardians (The Chosen One) that has premiered across international festivals. This was followed by a spoken word performance and an insightful panel discussion moderated by Lois Shola Adeyemi of Joy Prime TV.The panel featured Chineyenwa Okoro Onu Wyetey, a Tällberg Global Leadership Prize nominee and cross-cultural consultant specializing in creative business growth; Ameyaw Debrah, one of Africa’s leading entertainment and digital media voices; Kwamen Boison, an artist and designer exploring sustainability through material culture; and Wisdom Obeng Nyarko, Manager at Menscook Catering &amp; Logistics Ltd., known for blending food, culture, and shared experiences.&nbsp; Their conversation centered on what it means to navigate opportunity, originality, and cross-border storytelling in an increasingly digital landscape.

Speaking on the significance of the event, Andrew Entsua-Mensah, Project Manager for Arts and Culture at the British Council Ghana, said: “We at the British Council are proud to have worked with Handle It Africa to host this session on how creatives are building opportunities beyond borders. This event created space for reflection, collaboration, and learning, helping creatives think more entrepreneurially and expand their influence across Africa and beyond.”He further noted that the British Council’s ongoing support for platforms like this reflects its commitment to connecting cultures and supporting creative entrepreneurs through initiatives like the Socratic Learning Platform, which equips creators with essential enterprise skills. Andrew also attributed the success of the event to the collaboration with Handle It Africa and commended the team’s excellent planning and execution approach.

Handle It Africa Takes ‘Creating Beyond Borders’ to British Council Ghana

For Olufemi Oguntamu, Founder of Handle It Africa, Creating Beyond Borders is another statement of intent. “Africa’s creative story can’t be told from one location. What we’ve started with the British Council’s support is helping to take our conversations, talents, and collaborations across the continent. Nigeria and Ghana are the only the beginning.”The evening ended with networking, food, and music in the garden, where attendees shared experiences, exchanged contacts, and discussed future collaborations.

As Creating Beyond Borders continues its journey across Africa, it reaffirms Handle It Africa’s vision to build a connected ecosystem for African creatives - one that celebrates culture, champions authenticity, and fosters sustainable creative exchange.

Crypto signals are trade recommendations, like buy or sell alerts for Bitcoin or Ethereum, including entry points, stop-losses, and targets. They come from technical analysis, news, or AI tools, helping traders spot opportunities without constant screen time. In a market swinging 5-10% daily, these can be a lifesaver for beginners.Telegram dominates this space with over 1 billion users in 2025, thanks to instant notifications and group chats up to 200,000 strong. It's secure, bot-friendly, and free to join. With 410+ free crypto signals groups, it's easy to start, but quality separates winners from scams.The phrase "free crypto signals in Telegram" draws thousands searching for no-cost edges. Yet, free doesn't mean flawless—focus on value over hype to avoid losses.<h2>Criteria for Spotting Reliable Free Groups</h2>Transparency tops the list. Good groups share past trades with screenshots or logs, aiming for 70-80% win rates verified independently. Skip those hiding losses or claiming 100% accuracy—crypto's too unpredictable.Community size and engagement matter. Channels with 10,000+ active members, like Wallstreet Queen Official at 145,000, show trust. Look for real discussions, not bots spamming links. Signal frequency should be consistent, 2-5 weekly for free tiers, with clear rationale like "RSI oversold at 30."External reviews seal the deal. Check Reddit, Trustpilot, or sites like NFTevening for feedback. Established ones like Learn2Trade offer free trials, letting you test accuracy over a week.Prioritize education too.

Fake channels mimic big names, stealing data—always verify via official sites.Silent admins during volatility or wallet access requests scream trouble. Use a burner wallet for tests, like on Bitget, to shield funds. Pump-and-dump schemes flood chats with hype—exit if signals cluster on one coin without analysis.Over-reliance is risky too. Track 10-20 signals manually; if wins dip below 60%, bail.

How to Choose Reliable Free Crypto Signals on Telegram

Rawlings Park was bursting with color, creativity, and community spirit as Kantamanto Market and Ghana’s vibrant thrift and upcycling community came together to celebrate OWO Day 2025, the grand finale of Obroni Wawu October (OWO). Now in its fourth year, OWO Day has become a cornerstone event in Accra’s cultural calendar, honoring the innovation, strength, and artistry of the people who power one of the world’s most dynamic secondhand economies. This year’s theme, “Kantamanto! — a celebration of the community's strength and resolve,” captured the spirit of a market rising from the fire in unity and growth, ready to lead as a global hub for textile circularity.Obroni Wawu October (OWO) is more than a festival. It is a celebration of Kantamanto’s culture of innovation and creativity, an acknowledgment of the market as a globally leading hub for reuse, repair, upcycling, and remanufacturing. It serves as a bridge between Kantamanto and Accra’s thriving online thrift scene, building community and solidarity across the city. At its heart, OWO exists to celebrate the skills and talent of Kantamanto’s workers while creating spaces for education, empowerment, and joy. The movement envisions a future where Kantamanto is recognized and empowered as a cultural landmark for creativity in circularity.

<h2>A Month of Celebration, Connection, and Climate Action</h2>

Starting in July, Kantamanto-based upcycling practitioners participated in OWO School, a four-month intensive educational program and upcycled fashion accelerator. Created with Kantamanto upcyclers and a team from The Or Foundation, the program provided a cohort of 20 selected upcyclers with resources, workshops, professional career guidance, coaching, networking, and retail opportunities. Over the months, participants engaged in sessions led by local and international experts covering secondhand material transformation, de-westernization of creative processes, remanufacturing techniques, and brand development. The 2025 theme, “The Flavor of Upcycling,” guided the creation of seven collaborative collections that explored stories of pleasure, resilience, and creativity. All successful participants showcased their upcycled collections at OWO Day.Throughout October, The Or Foundation, in collaboration with the Kantamanto Obroni Wawu Businesses Association, Kantamanto Women’s Association, and Kantamanto Upcyclers Association, curated a rich lineup of events that brought the community together under the banner of sustainability and solidarity.The festivities began on October 4 with the OWO Beach Cleanup, organized in partnership with The Tide Turners, a cooperative working with The Or Foundation to tackle textile waste along Accra’s coast. Together with members of the Kantamanto community, The Or Foundation staff, and volunteers from the public, they diverted an impressive 29 tons of waste from the ocean, a powerful statement on environmental responsibility and collective action.

On October 11, the focus shifted to Kayayei Night, an evening dedicated to the women who work as head porters in Kantamanto Market. With over 420 kayayei in attendance, it was a night of storytelling, sisterhood, and strength, a reminder of the human spirit that drives the circular economy.On October 19, the OWO Block Party took over Kantamanto’s Shoe Yard, transforming it into a lively celebration in collaboration with Kantamanto Traphouse, a viral collective of thrift vendors and musical artists from within the market. The Shoe Yard, home to the first edition of OWO in 2022, was the perfect setting to pay homage to Kantamanto’s legacy and invite the wider Accra community to experience its creative pulse.

<h2>The Grande Finale: OWO Day at Rawlings Park</h2>

Culminating on the last Sunday of October, OWO Day 2025 was the biggest celebration yet, a dazzling showcase of thrift, upcycling, and sustainable fashion. Vendors, upcyclers, and artisans from Kantamanto and beyond displayed one-of-a-kind pieces that ranged from the wildly experimental to the beautifully timeless. The market featured 35 thrift and upcycled fashion vendors, all sourcing from or based in Kantamanto, and 15 food vendors, creating an atmosphere of vibrant creativity and flavor.Fashion took center stage, not just on the racks but in the crowd itself. The Drip Contest, hosted by Joseph Nti, gave attendees the chance to strut their most creative thrifted and upcycled looks, competing for the coveted title of Best Dressed. The Talent Show added another layer of excitement, with performances that celebrated Kantamanto’s raw creative power. This year’s winner walked away with a prize of 2,000 cedis, while the crowd cheered on every dancer, singer, and performer who took the stage.

Kantamanto Comes Alive: Obroni Wawu October 2025 Celebrates Thrift, Creativity and Community

<h2>Music, Joy, and Community</h2>

If anything was in abundance, it was talent, style, and joy. The night’s headline performances kept the energy high, featuring McAldhan, last year’s OWO Talent Show winner, a thrift seller in Kantamanto, a member of Kantamanto Traphouse, and the founder of Plug A Star (@plugastar). He shared the stage with powerhouse acts Iveth Stunner, RCee, and Joey B. Their performances underscored the deep connection between Kantamanto’s fashion, music, and cultural innovation. The entire show was hosted by Kojo Junior.

<h2>A Movement Growing Stronger</h2>

What began as a grassroots celebration has grown into a movement that centers the voices, creativity, and labor of Kantamanto’s community while challenging global fashion systems to reckon with their waste. OWO 2025 was spearheaded from The Or Foundation's side by Sammy Oteng and Nirvana Safo, whose leadership and dedication continue to shape the future of ethical fashion and community empowerment.Pulse Ghana and Cove Media served as official media partners for Obroni Wawu October 2025.

As<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.binance.com/en-IN/blog/security/3850349958975611418"> </a><a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://accounts.binance.com/en/register?utm_source=pulseghana_ghana_direct">cryptocurrency</a> becomes part of daily life across Africa, the debate over security and trust is no longer optional; it’s urgent. Digital assets are reshaping how people move money, invest, and build businesses. But with that transformation comes sharper risks: money laundering, fraud, and cybercrime. For crypto to thrive across the continent, we need strong<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/anti-money-laundering"> anti-money laundering (AML)</a> and cybersecurity frameworks not as afterthoughts, but as the pillars of credibility.AML frameworks are global standards designed to prevent criminals from disguising illicit funds as legitimate income, targeting crimes such as tax evasion, corruption, and market manipulation. While these standards apply worldwide, local context ultimately determines their impact. In Africa, where illicit financial flows cost economies tens of billions of dollars each year, effective AML enforcement is not just a regulatory issue; it’s an economic imperative.Compliance regimes like South Africa’s FICA or Kenya’s Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Bill are gaining force. These laws aim to stop criminals from disguising illegal funds as legitimate. At their core are<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/know-your-customer"> Know Your Customer (KYC)</a> practices, which play a role in verifying identities, monitoring transactions, and flagging risk. What was once heavy paperwork is now powered by AI, which screens against sanctions lists and surfaces anomalies in real time.For crypto platforms, the responsibility scales even higher. Blockchain’s speed and borderless nature offer both advantages and risks. Without safeguards, actors can exploit it. With them, the transparency of the ledger becomes a defence. &nbsp;<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://accounts.binance.com/en/register?utm_source=pulseghana_ghana_direct">Binance</a> has invested deeply in compliance and security infrastructure - every user is verified, and AI has been deployed to monitor suspicious activity. We partner with blockchain-intelligence firms and law enforcement, especially in Africa, to detect and block abuse before damage is done.A powerful example of collaboration is “<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.binance.com/en-IN/blog/security/7023103247048986755">Operation Serengeti 2.0,”</a> an INTERPOL-led crackdown across Africa from June to August 2025. Through coordinated action across multiple countries, authorities arrested 1,209 cybercriminals, dismantled 11,432 malicious infrastructures, and recovered $97.4 million. Binance, as part of the Cybercrime Atlas Initiative, contributed threat intelligence, OSINT mapping, and investigative support. This operation took down everything from ransomware networks to a $300 million crypto scam in Zambia that victimized 65,000 people. It also exposed illegal crypto mining operations in Angola, where seized power stations were redirected to benefit communities.

Most recently, Binance supported <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://url.za.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/KQUECMjByAS7Y4ktWsku8c5eS">Operation Catalyst</a>, a landmark public-private initiative led by INTERPOL and AFRIPOL across six African countries which include Angola, Cameroon, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, and South Sudan. In this crackdown, Binance contributed strategic threat intelligence and investigative support, helping identify over 160 persons of interest and facilitating 83 arrests. Additionally, the arrests included 21 individuals for terrorism-related offenses, 28 for fraud and money laundering, 16 for cyber-enabled scams, and 18 connected to the misuse of virtual assets – leading to discovery of approximately $ 260 million in fiat and cryptocurrency assets connected to terrorism financing.

This kind of public-private cooperation is exactly what Africa needs. Criminals don’t respect borders, so OSINT tools that trace cross-jurisdictional networks, from Côte d’Ivoire to Germany, make investigations sharper and more actionable. Sharing that data with law enforcement amplifies the effectiveness of every operation.Security is as critical as compliance. Binance combines<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/cold-storage"> cold storage</a>, multi-signature wallets, and the<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.binance.com/en-IN/blog/security/3850349958975611418"> SAFU</a> emergency fund, which are all backed by independent certifications like ISO 27001. These tools protect user funds and data, ensuring even as attack tactics evolve. In markets where mobile is king and financial fraud is a daily worry, these defences are essential.Africa’s opportunity lies in balancing inclusion with integrity. With hundreds of<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/globalfindex/brief/financial-inclusion-in-sub-saharan-africa-overview"> millions still unbanked</a>, crypto offers a powerful pathway to financial access. Overly strict controls, however, risk excluding those users. That’s why innovations like decentralized identity and zero-knowledge proofs, which allow user verification without compromising privacy, are essential.Equally important is leadership, even in markets where regulation is still evolving. Binance supports self-regulation, participation in industry associations, and proactive engagement with authorities across African jurisdictions. We view compliance not as a hurdle, but as a catalyst for growth and trust.The evidence is clear: digital assets in Africa can only flourish on a foundation of trust and credibility. By combining world-class AML and cybersecurity standards with regional sensitivity, exchanges become trusted bridges, not risk vectors. The stakes are high, but the potential is transformative. At Binance, we don’t see compliance as a burden; we see it as a responsibility, one that helps unlock a safer, more inclusive financial future across Africa.Unlock new opportunities in crypto.<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://accounts.binance.com/en/register?utm_source=pulseghana_ghana_direct"> Sign up for Binance today</a>.
