<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi everyone, </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Happy new year! I feel excited writing my first post for 2016. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This week's read is a very touching story about former ebola workers in Liberia who are now outcasts in their communities, due to the nature of the job they performed in eradicating ebola. Won't give away too much. Hope you enjoy the read from the New York Times.</span><br>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I was behind the wheel, thoughts swivelling through my head.</div>

This week's pick is a more poignant read. To the outside world, football or American football players are the definition of masculine strength, athleticism and success. Behind the scenes, players can pay a hefty price with their bodies, health and even their lives. The New York Times account of Patrick Risha's time on and off the field provides a riveting read.<br>
<br>
*Thanks to reader Oby Ijeh for pitching a read for the week. That's another read in the pipeline! All suggestions on a 'read of the week' are highly welcome...and don't forget to post your comments (smiley emoji)*<br>
<br>
Happy reading!<br>

We kick off our new series "Read of the Week" with an article from The Guardian, UK. This week's extensively-long read, delves into the unsavoury history of the East India Country - led by the sociopath, Robert Clive - and their unfettered looting and conquest of the Indian subcontinent.<br>
<br>
Happy reading!<br>

<br />
It's March already! But still, I must start by saying <b>HAPPY NEW YEAR</b>. Hope your year has been an exciting one so far.<br />
<br />
Mine has been very fascinating. Working on a number of projects which I'm excited about. Unfortunately, my shifting priorities place Fresh Angle on the backburner once again.<br />
<br />
But, I had an idea, brainwave, Eureka moment (if you like) while reading an article today. I've decided to start <b>a new weekly series titled <span style="color: blue;">"Read of the Week". </span></b><br />
<br />
It will simply be a <b>fascinating, insightful, thought-provoking</b> article on any topic culled from a reputable news outlet. Your thoughts, comments and analysis will be HIGHLY welcome.<br />
<br />
Also, I'll be counting on you to recommend articles that you think would make a good "Read of the Week".<br />
<br />
So, off to post the very first "Read of the Week"<br />
<br />
Look forward to reading your comments. </div>

I've known my friend M.J for a year now, but it's only recently that I've begun to notice peculiar things about him. He's very intelligent, knowledgeable, and has a photographic memory. I told him he's like an iceberg, taciturn and reserved on the outside, while hiding a wealth of great qualities below the surface.<br>

It sounds incredulous even as I type away, but I visited a zoo for the very first time...well, it will be gross dishonesty not to mention that I have some childhood 'zoo visit' photos. But that's all they are: photos. They left no deposits in my memory.<br>
<br>
Anyway, back to the matter at hand. The idea of visiting the zoo presented itself when my friend and I were 'brainstorming' things to do on one of those humdrum weekends. I'd been wanting to visit the zoo for the longest time, but suddenly it was no longer a flippant, easy-to-make decision. You see, I had watched the documentary 'Blackfish', so zoos, aquariums etc. no longer registered as entertainment sites in my head. They now translated to 'animals in captivity'.<br>

It was an intensely bright and sunny afternoon in New York City. Perfect
weather for a tourist. And perfect timing for me to strike the Natural
History Museum off my bucket list. <br>
<br>
Imposing building. Larger-than-life dinosaurs. Gargantuan elephant. First impressions looked good. <br>
<br>
I paid for a ticket. Glided towards the Hall of African Peoples, which was one of the opening exhibits. <br>
<br>
Time to relish the sights and sounds, and fill my memory bank with fabulous images. Or so I thought.<br>

In a historic move this week, Germany elected its first two black Members of Parliament. Karamba Diaby and Charles Huber, both of Senegalese origin, were elected into the Social Democrat Party and the ruling Christian Democratic Party respectively. Mr Diaby, 51, described his election into the German Parliament as being 'of historical importance'. Nearly one in five of Germany's 80 million population are immigrants. However, less than six per cent of Germany's MPs are from minority groups. <br>

Sad, shell shocked, surreal, sickening, barbaric, unthinkable, despicable...a young soldier cut down with knives and machetes on the streets of Woolwich, South east London, in broad day light. Just shaking my head. Was it a terrorist attack? Was it two black men attacking a lone, helpless white soldier? I don't know.<br />
<br />

<br />
One thing is clear to me: whoever hacked the innocent young man to death must be a mental case. No sane man would do that. He or they are not two sane human beings. They are lunatic animals masquerading the streets in human form.<br />
<br />
Shaking my head...shouldn't a young man feel safe in his own country, on his streets? Shaking my head...sad sad times. My heart and prayers remain with the deceased's family. May they come to terms with their loss.<br />

I got an email containing this link from one of my most patriotic Fresh Angle readers...think I need to invent an acronym for all my avid readers that make my effort worth it!<br />
<br />
Well, it was so hilarious, it had me laughing my head off. I couldn't trace the story to an official source, so it's difficult to verify. But, here is a raw version fromThe UK's Sun newspaper. <br />

Have a fun-filled weekend!<br />

<h3 class="padding-bottom-7">
HIGH-FLYING witches face arrest and a heavy fine if they break new laws,
authorities in Swaziland have said.
</h3>
Airspace rules in the southern African country have been tightened - and
witches who fly above 150 metres face a R500,000 (£35,487) penalty.<br />
<br />
Sabelo Dlamini, an official at the Swazi civil aviation authority said: “A
witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150 metre] limit."
<br />
No charges are planned for airborne witches who keep below the 150-metre
'ceiling'.
<br />
Witches’ broomsticks are deemed similar to any heavier-than-air mode of
transport that takes flight.<br />
<br />
Swazi brooms are short bundles of sticks tied together but without handles.
<br />
The new flying laws in the landlocked country follow the arrest of a private
investigator who was caught using a toy drone.
<br />
He told authorities he was gathering surveillance information after police
spotted him flying a mini helicopter with a video camera strapped to it.<br />
<br />
Witchcraft is taken seriously in Swaziland where many people believe in the
power of black magic<br />
