Asare\, who was also a Master weaver\, was commissioned to design a kente weaving in 1960 three years after Ghana’s independence. This piece was presented by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah( First President of Ghana) to the United Nations. \nIn 1995\, during the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations\, Kwasi was invited to present a kente to replace the original one made by his father. This splendid piece presently hangs at the East Wing of the United Nations Headquarters in New York. \nHe has traveled extensively giving presentations and workshops in kente weaving. In the United States of America\, he has visited places such as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC\, Hampton University in Virginia as well as Tuskegee University in Alabama. He has also had the opportunity of showcasing kente weaving alongside the Navajo weaving tradition in Denver Colorado. \nKwasi had his education at Achimota School and holds a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. He tutors Mathematics in addition to maintaining the weaving tradition. \nDJ Fisho \nAngelo Ekow Akyeampong\, aka DJ Ekow Fisho\, is a professor of Communication Studies and Cyber- Security Analyst in the Washington DC area. His love for music and connecting with people fashioned his hobby of disc jockeying into a career that spans hosting shows on Sunshine Radio which later became Choice FM\, and My Star Radio. During the 2020 Covid 19 pandemic when the world got quiet and isolated\, his friends started reaching out to him asking for his DJ-ing presence on Facebook.  Wanting to be a part of the solution on how WE collectively quarantine in isolation\, he decided to use music to keep in touch with friends and to entertain them.  On April 5\, 2020\, the first show aired with the theme\, Music for Your Quarantined Feet (MQF). \nMQF reunited friends and provided some solace at a time when most countries around the world went on lockdown to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The world latched on to MQF\, and catapulted it into a serious music program\, comparable to any show hosted on traditional radio. Every Sunday evening for two hours\, at 4 p.m.  MQF feeds its audience with old school music and Afro beats and the virtual community of hundreds of people around the world creatively bands together to connect\, celebrate\, and heal. The show has also garnered attention from celebrities with guest appearances from Samini the first guest artiste to be featured\, to the music maestro Kojo Antwi\, DJ Fisho provides a platform for patrons to get closer to their favorite artists for free. \nMQF was meant to be a channel of entertainment and fun for friends and classmates all over the world but the virtual show has grown to become more than just a Disc Jockey playing music to thrill his audience. Unsolicited\, donations of gratitude from viewers began to pour in.  Fisho and his wife were overwhelmed by this show of generosity and gratitude\, and so they decided to pay it forward\, by donating the monies to worthy causes.  Frontline workers in the Maryland area received donations of masks\, sanitizers\, gloves and food to help in the fight against COVID-19 and\, as more cash was received\, the gesture was extended to facilities in Ghana. \nSo far\, he has donated to six locations in the state of Maryland and to the Legon Hospital\, his family hospital in Ghana\, the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC)\, the LEKMA Hospital at Teshie\, the Ga East Hospital\, and the Tamale Teaching Hospital.  Each week\, the selected facilities are provided with hot packed lunch and drinks for about 60 persons. MQF is bringing smiles to the faces of many frontline health workers who are sacrificing to ensure that we win the battle against the pandemic. \nBeing able to give back through music and beyond is a blessing and an honor for him. Whether the virtual show will continue after the quarantine\, remains to be seen. but as of now\, you can subscribe to his channel on YouTube (Ekow Fisho) for updates about any and everything new. \nMarjy Marj \nAuthor\, Consultant\, Speaker\, Visionary \nMarjorie Boafo Appiah aka Marjy Marj is a visionary\, management consultant\, author and speaker. She has leveraged her public speaking experience to fundraise for organizations and to empower communities. She is a sought-after speaker who keeps the crowd entertained and engaged at all times. \nMarjy is the founder of Innovation Abound – a company that gives creative ideas the opportunity and resources to flourish. \nAs a community leader\, Marjy is the vice chairman of the Hub City Writers Project Board of Directors.  She also serves as a Trustee at the Charles Lea Center Foundation\, The Spartanburg Regional Foundation and Spartanburg Day School.

SUMMARY:Exporting to Europe:  Updates on the New EU Medical Device Regulation
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Department of Economic Development is pleased to present a complimentary webinar to help Georgia medical device companies better understand the European Union’s new Medical Device Regulation (MDR).  \n  \nThe EU MDR is the largest overhaul to the regulatory framework governing medical devices in 30 years. The Medical Device Regulation will replace the Medical Devices Directive\, and was originally slated to go into effect on May 26\, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, calls from industry were answered to delay the EU MDR’s implementation.  \n  \nThe new MDR rulebook is comprised of 174 pages and will change the regulatory landscape in Europe; it will address technological advancements and focus on a life-cycle approach to medical device regulation and compliance.  \n  \nJoin the Georgia Department of Economic Development for this discussion with a group of experts on the intricacies of these regulations and impart their insight on how your products can be marketed\, distributed\, and sold in Europe.
