As Mrs Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf savours the fact that she has become not just Liberia's, but Africa's, first elected woman President, she is bound to reflect on the long path she has travelled to get to where she is.
This path took "the Iron Lady" from her birth in Monrovia on October 29, 1938, to the presidential palace in the Liberian capital via a stint in Nairobi. During the election c...
The holiday season is right around the corner. For most of us that means a houseful of family and friends, a time when we want our home to look its very best. And, as you begin to prepare your holiday decor, it's a perfect time to give your wooden furniture pieces a bit of extra care.

The time of year has come again where I reflect on all that Northeastern Ohio has done for me. This process involves the use of, shall we say, "rose-colored glasses," but I'll don them for a while to express gratitude to my Midwestern roots.
