![]() The porcelain-like shells came to West Africa, beginning in the 14th century, through trade with Arab merchants. The Monetaria moneta or money cowry is not native to West African waters but is a common species in the Indian Ocean. ![]() Cowries (plural of cowry) were formerly used as currency in what is now Ghana. The word cedi is the Akan word for cowry shell. By removing four digits, the Ghana cedi became the highest-denominated currency unit issued in Africa. The new cedi was gradually phased out in 2007 in favor of the "Ghana Cedi" at an exchange rate of 1:10,000. ![]() Decades of high inflation devalued the new cedi, so that in 2007 the largest of the "new cedi" banknotes, the 20,000 note, had a value of about US$2. The "new Cedi" (1967–2007) was worth 1.2 cedis, which made it equal to half of a pound sterling (or ten shillings sterling) at its introduction. one hundred old pence, so that 1 pesewa was equal to one penny.Īfter the February 1966 military coup, the new leaders wanted to remove the face of Nkrumah from the banknotes. The Cedi bore the portrait of the President and was equivalent to eight shillings and four pence (8s 4d), i.e. Ghana's first President Kwame Nkrumah introduced Cedi notes and Pesewa coins in July 1965 to replace the Ghanaian pounds, shillings and pence. The African name Cedi (1965–1967) was introduced in place of the old British pound system. ![]() In 1965, Ghana decided to leave the British colonial monetary system and adopt the widely accepted decimal system. The new republic's first independent currency was the Ghanaian pound (1958–1965). One Cedi is divided into one hundred Pesewas (Gp).Īfter independence, Ghana separated itself from the British West African pound, which was the currency of the British colonies in the region. It is the fourth historical and only current legal tender in the Republic of Ghana. The Cedi ( / ˈ s iː d iː/ SEE-dee, pronounced in the same way as CD) ( currency sign: GH₵ currency code: GHS) is the unit of currency of Ghana. ![]()

Like it’s cheaper than buying paint at Benjamin Moore. Of all the DIY’s you can do to make a big impact on your house, this is 100% the most affordable. Step 1: Gather the skim coating materials before you begin. If it doesn’t look great the first pass, just sand it down a bit and add another layer… but I’m getting ahead of myself. The best part about this is, it’s basically impossible to mess up. I highly recommend spending a few hours before getting started watching different YouTube videos on how to skim coat and gleaning the best advice from experts. In this post, we’ll go over the basic steps involved in skim coating walls. I also found the process to be fairly easy to pick up, and actually quite fun and satisfying to do. There are tons of resources and tutorials (especially on Youtube) for learning how to do it yourself. The process can be pricey to hire out, but it’s a very affordable DIY and not hard to learn. I wish I’d known about skim coating when I was living with the knockdown wall texture I hated in our Arizona house. This technique is commonly used on walls and ceilings to cover up imperfections, or to create a smooth new surface for painting or wallpapering. ![]() Skim coating is a process of applying a thin layer of joint compound, or “mud,” over a surface to create a smooth, even finish. I recently skim coated our bedroom walls and I fell in love with the process. Whether you’re dealing with walls in need of repair, a texture you don’t love, or you’re just looking to update the walls in your home, one very affordable option to consider is skim coating. Since our home is over 230 years old, we often run into other issues: cracks, uneven drywall, and other spots that need repair and/or a good smoothing. The walls in our old farmhouse are luckily without texture, but they have their own problems. The lady with a deep frown, the elephant with a short trunk, the one that looked like a slug bug… Now that I’m an adult, I’m less keen on a textured wall. It provided hours of entertainment, and I feel nostalgic just thinking about the ones I’d find over and over. I would lay in bed at night and find faces and shapes in the bumpy spackling. I remember as a kid, growing up in California, I loved the orange peel texture on our walls. We know that heavily textured walls are a trend of the past, but did you know there’s something you, yes, YOU can do about it? Let me tell you about skim coating. I want to talk to you about wall texture today, specifically how to get rid of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() What “Birdman” squawks at, though, is not just the comic-book cravings that have convulsed the movie industry of late but the more enduring follies of the dramatic profession, as it brims with special pleading and quivers at the thought of sagging fame. ![]() The lurking joke here is that, although Mike derides Hollywood for its “cultural genocide,” Norton himself played the Incredible Hulk, in 2008. A replacement is needed fast, and, as Riggan’s long-suffering friend, Jake (Zach Galifianakis), explains, the choice is narrow: Woody Harrelson is doing another “Hunger Games,” Michael Fassbender is on “X-Men” duty, and Robert Downey, Jr., is soldered tight to “Iron Man.” Luckily, Mike Shiner (Edward Norton), another big name, is free. At rehearsal, a member of the cast is felled by a tumbling arc light. His daughter, Sam (Emma Stone), who is fresh out of rehab, and helping with the production, can often be found on the theatre roof, perched on a perilous ledge. Many folk, like the Times theatre critic Tabitha Dickinson (Lindsay Duncan), presume that he is heading for a fall, and he certainly surrounds himself with plunging, of every sort. His career path has followed that of Icarus, and, in a bid to avoid splashdown, and to restore his credentials, Riggan has chosen to direct and star in a play, adapted by himself from a Raymond Carver tale, on Broadway. He can barely summon the energy to remove his own wig. He was Birdman: he could fly, destroy his foes with a magic whoosh, and use his telekinetic skills to move random objects at will. Twenty years ago, Riggan, too, played a superhero, with a movie franchise to himself. The Bat-Mantle has rested uneasily on Keaton’s shoulders ever since, and something similar weighs upon his character, Riggan Thomson, in “Birdman.” His performance in “Beetlejuice” (1988) was halfway between a rush and a rash, and what drove his Bruce Wayne to fight crime, in “Batman” (1989), was not so much civic outrage as a rich man’s anxiety and ennui at supper with Kim Basinger, he confessed that he had never been in his own dining-room before, and, in “Batman Returns” (1992), he spat out vichyssoise as if it were chilled hemlock. It stars Michael Keaton, who has always behaved onscreen as if he knew that there was a raging mosquito bite somewhere on his person but could not quite locate it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Watch Misty Copeland perform With ballet, if we don't evolve with the times, we're not going to be relevant and people won't come ![]() ![]() “It’s the little things that make you feel like you don’t belong.” ![]() “It’s because that’s the colour you’re expected to be.” Ballet shoe maker Freed has just launched the UK’s first pointe shoes for darker skin tones ( Gaynor Minden does a similar range in the US), although Copeland still colours hers with pancake makeup. “What does it mean that we’re wearing pink tights?” she asks. I know those things for a fact.”Īs well as the overt racism, there were subtle signals that this wasn’t her world.Until recently, pointe shoes only came in a “nude” colour that was pale pink. He did what he could to help me grow when other people within the artistic staff didn’t want to see me get those opportunities.” Because you hadn’t paid your dues? “No, because of my skin colour. “He was sensitive enough to see that I was a young girl on my own, had never really had a stable home. But a serious stress fracture, followed by sudden weight gain after the delayed onset of puberty, led to her confidence crashing.Ĭopeland credits her survival to a series of mentors, mainly successful black women outside dance, and to ABT’s director, Kevin McKenzie. At 18, she joined American Ballet Theatre’s studio company, then its corps de ballet. When her mother could no longer take her across town to classes, Copeland moved in with Bradley (which led to a difficult, highly publicised custody battle, a low point in Copeland’s life). Photograph: Lawrence Jackson/Planet Pix via Zuma Wire/Rex/ShutterstockĬopeland was 13, a very late age to start dancing for a professional, but she progressed fast with teacher Cindy Bradley. Top-level talks … Copeland in discussion with President Barack Obama in 2016. Copeland took her first ballet class on a basketball court at the local Boys and Girls Club, but it wasn’t until she stepped inside a studio, donned tights and leotard and looked at herself in the mirror that this homeless teen realised she had finally found home. She hated her skinny, long legs, big hands and “pinhead”. She loved grossing out her brothers with what her hyper flexible joints could do, but she had no idea she might have the perfect physique for a particular type of dance. But, in fact, she was always a ballerina – she just didn’t know it. The family moved a lot as her mother married and divorced several times, there was little money and Copeland kept her head down. When she was a child, Copeland had no dreams of ballet. When millions of viewers see her in an Under Armour commercial, she says, “they will see a brown ballerina and think, ‘Oh, that’s what a ballerina looks like.’ When you can imagine yourself on the stage, especially as a young person, it allows you to dream of doing anything.” I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have this bigger purpose that I never even realised.’”Ĭopeland has actively sought out opportunities to bring ballet to new audiences and to change its image, from speaking engagements to endorsements and book deals. I saw her and it was this unexpected reaction. She was watching a documentary about the Ballets Russes that featured pioneering black ballerina Raven Wilkinson. In ballet, where many things on stage look much as they did a century ago, there are few women of colour in major companies, and Copeland remembers the moment when she knew she had to take on the mantle of role model. This is a woman who’s had a tough life but seems to have come out of it with no hard edges. Like all ballet dancers, Copeland is petite and perfectly put together, beaming with unerring positivity and a ready giggle as she sits in this London hotel room with a camel mac draped over her knees to keep warm. ‘Some people didn’t want me to get opportunities because of my skin colour’ … Copeland in a New York studio. ![]() ![]() ![]()
