You probably do not have Anna marked as a principal on the census events therefore they do not show in her individual record window. Press shift+F8 and you will see all events she is attached to. There are probably two census events. One where noone is attached to the role of head of household and one where Rick Waggoner is attached as head of household. You can open the event window for them by selecting one of them and pressing F8. Delete the one where there is noone attached as head of household. It will not print her age unless you modify the role sentence. You can do it just for her under Preview for the event or you can modify the role template for the event which will affect all individuals where that template is used. You may not want to do the latter.
Hope this helps.

When a radio station wants to broadcast a program that reaches as many ears as possible-even remote listeners in the hinterlands-it amps up the signal. But when content marketers with branded content to promote seek to swell their audience, it's not as simple as cranking up a dial. Wider distribution of content that's created to grow affinity and brand consideration-and not necessarily to hawk a product or service-requires careful research, planning, and execution to overcome the significant challenges today. Smart publishers, content providers, and marketers need to recognize these challenges and develop effective strategies to connect with the crowds in a landscape that's already overcrowded with competitors.

Outsell, Inc., a research and advisory firm, has released FutureFacts: 2006 and Beyond, a comprehensive forecast of the trends and drivers fueling the Information Industry. The report pegs the Information Industry to reach $358 billion by 2008, lending credit to companies like Yahoo!, Google, Baidu, Interactive Data Corporation, Greenfield Online, and HealthStream Inc. for growing the market.
FutureFacts forecasts eight key industry segments: Company, Credit and Financial; Education and Training; Search, Aggregation & Distribution Services; Market Research, Reports and Services; News and Trade; Scientific, Technical and Medical; Legal; and Yellow Pages and Directories. Outsell's analysis places the Search, Aggregation & Distribution Services segment ahead of all others, with a forecasted 17% growth over the next three years. This segment is driven by Yahoo! and Google. The next growth segment is Market Research, Reports, and Services at 11.6%. Outsell discusses other companies in the segment, including Greenfield Online, Health Grades, and MarketResearch.com.
Lagging the rest are the Yellow Pages segment at 3 % growth, and News and Trade at 5% growth. The News and Trade segment is most impacted by end user and technology trends, as revenue models shift from subscriptions and transactions to ads, and from print to online. Its strongest competition is from free Web content, as well as blogs, citizen journalism, and peer-to-peer and social networks.This report is also available for download at the Web site.

Cool toons: Creating interesting content for children is not rocket science
Linda Simensky leads an eyebrow-raising double life.
There's Linda the sophisticate — an Ivy League grad, killer sitar player, successful executive and mother of two young children.
But away from the public spotlight, Linda still channels her inner 6-year-old — a persona with a hardy appetite for watching cartoons and a prized toy collection that's strictly off-limits for her kids.
"I never went through that phase that everyone else did where you start thinking like an adult," said Simensky, vice president of children's programming for PBS. "Basically I just stayed in kid mode and became the adult I wanted to become when I was 6.
"I have discussions with my kids (ages 6 and 11) where they say things like, 'How come you have so many toys, and why won't you let us play with them?' Well, they're in boxes because I worked on these shows and I like the way they look in the packaging!"
Since joining PBS in 2003, Simensky has been making sure that the PBS Kids lineup lives at the intersection of entertaining and educational. If you've ever turned on the television and sat your kids down to watch a PBS Kids program like "Curious George," "Super Why," "Dinosaur Train" or "Sid the Science Kid," you probably owe a debt of thanks to the "double life" of Simensky, because her fingerprints are all over those shows.
With more than 25 years of experience working in the children's entertainment industry — her résumé also includes stints at Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network — Simensky is uniquely qualified to identify which shows will resonate with young viewers. And as the mother of two elementary school-age children, she's also a concerned parent who can appreciate the synergy inherent in educational television programs.
Folks like Simensky — razor-sharp professionals who never learned to forget how a child views the world — fuel PBS Kids to be a leader in innovative children's entertainment. In 2011, for example, PBS Kids nabbed an industry-best 12 Daytime Emmy Awards. The last time another network won more Daytime Emmys for children's programming than PBS was 1997.
Concocting a show kids will want to watch isn't rocket science; Simensky believes it always comes down to compelling characters and interesting stories.
"The things that all great shows have are great characters and great stories," she said. "Even in the pitch phase, what really attracts us in the (PBS Kids) programming department to a show is hearing a great idea, really falling in love with the characters and wanting to know more about what happens to them. It works the same way for us as it does for viewers."
According to Simensky, a PBS Kids show typically requires three years of development before it ever sees the light of day — about a year of which goes toward developing cross-platform interactive and educational elements to complement the show. In fact, the development phase process can actually stretch as long as five years, which was the case with "Wild Kratts," a show that teaches kids about wild animals through a unique combination of animation and live action.
Simensky views her job as more gatekeeper than micromanager. She identifies quality content early on and nurtures it through to maturity. By the time a show is actually on your television, though, ideally the production process will have evolved to a point where PBS maintains an oversight role but generally defers to its content partners — people like Dr. Scott D. Sampson.
As a world-class paleontologist, university professor and research curator at the Utah Museum of Natural History on the University of Utah campus, Sampson never intended to work extensively in TV. Even when the Jim Henson Company called to float the idea for a show called "Dinosaur Train," Sampson was dubious.
"My initial reaction when I heard about a show called 'Dinosaur Train' was that it was an unmitigated disaster," he recalls. "Mixing dinosaurs and trains seemed like a really bad idea when scientists are always trying to demonstrate that humans and dinosaurs didn't live at the same time. Putting dinosaurs on a train seemed odd."

from Mike Brophy of the Hockey News via the Globe and Mail,
I have never been the type to not admit when I am wrong. With that in mind, I stand before you and take back what I said about Pittsburgh rookie Evgeni Malkin. I suggested, a week or so ago, the Russian center would be a good NHL player, perhaps even great, but not a superstar. Wrong! With goals in each of his first five games, Malkin has served notice he very much has the potential to skate among the very best players the NHL has to offer.continued

Comments (0)
By Alanah Downie I've finally pulled together some hockey podcasts for everyone to sample and enjoy. Most are NHL-related, but there are other levels of hockey represented as well. The intention was to stick primarily with the work of amateur hockey broadcasters, but some professional efforts are found here as well, primarily the section of "Official" hockey podcasts produced by numerous NHL teams. The links below will take you to the main webpage of each podcast, so people can choose their own means of download. Quite a few are listed in the iTunes Store, for instance, but with many of these you can simply listen directly from a media player built right into the webpage.

Staal Staying

The Pittsburgh Penguins will keep 18-year-old centerman Jordan Staal on their NHL roster, it was announced today by General Manager Ray Shero. Shero also said the Penguins will send 19-year-old defenseman Kris Letang back to his junior team, Val d'Or of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Staal, the second overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, has recorded four goals and one assist for five points in nine games. He is averaging 13:14 of ice time and played more than 17 minutes in the Penguins' 8-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers Saturday night. "Jordan has earned his spot on our roster and deserves to play at the National Hockey League level," Shero said. "We all knew about his skill level when we drafted him, but his work ethic, maturity and consistent effort have enabled him to make what is normally a difficult transition for a teen-ager."

"The Absence" Soon Returns

From here forward, it will be referred to (in the A2Y glossary) as, "the absence." Yes, Abel to Yzerman fell off the face of the earth. Yes, it's my fault. No, I was not sent to an area with 130 degree heat. Yes, I was in a lovely spot without computer access. No, that's not a good excuse. But, and thank you for the emails, with "the absence" behind me, A2Y will be returning shortly. Where? Right here. Paul and I have been in discussion for a few days now and it looks like you won't have to go far too find the new Abel to Yzerman since it's going to be linked directly (and be part of) Kukla's Korner. What's going to change? Nothing. A2Y will remain Wing-specific. All the same features will remain. My views on Bubba, the Dive, The Punch in the Face and The Enigma haven't changed. In all seriousness, it's great to be back and thanks to Paul for welcoming me into the KK fold. Note from Paul: The logistics of adding A2Y to KK will be completed in the very near future. A2Y will have a unique url, RSS feed, etc. and I welcome Bill and his readers with open arms. Also, stay tuned for more news... KK continues to grow and expand!!!

At Your Service

via Sports Business Journal (paid sub.),
The NHL has increased its emphasis on shared business practices among teams, tripling the staff of its club services division and upping the number of visits those staff members make to each team. The league's club services department, renamed following the lockout in 2004-05, will act as a single source for collecting and sharing information on such things as ticket pricing, marketing initiatives and promotional efforts, all designed to increase team and league revenue. In the past, teams largely were left on their own to determine and maximize such areas. "Being in the league office, we have the benefit of a view of all 30 clubs," said Susan Cohig, group vice president for club services and until recently the department's only employee since the lockout. "Teams don't have that. Hopefully, from that 30,000-foot view we can say, 'X team has gone through the same thing. Let's see how they addressed it and see if it can help you.'" Beyond increased travel and personnel, the league also has invested in technology. This week the NHL will announce a deal with StratBridge, a Cambridge, Mass.-based software company that will provide the league with its StratTix technology. Teams will be able to use the technology to identify, in real time, who customers are, where they're sitting and if they're part of a group or a promotion.

Flyers Ripe For Trade

via the Chicago Daily-Herald,
Veteran defenseman Derian Hatcher is minus-14, while defenseman Joni Pitkanen is minus-8. Winger Kyle Calder, acquired from the Hawks in exchange for Michal Handzus, has no points in 10 games and is minus-7 with 5 minor penalties. New GM Paul Holmgren is said to be looking to make a blockbuster trade to shake things up, with winger Simon Gagne's name being floated as possible bait. It's believed the Hawks have offered the Flyers defenseman Jassen Cullimore, who according to a report in the Ottawa Sun also has been shopped to the Boston Bruins.

Islanders Need To Regain Fans Trust

from Newsday,
When the Islanders skated out of the tunnel to face Buffalo, they were greeted by a season-low crowd of 8,861 fans. Playing as if the life had been sucked out of them, the Islanders suffered a 3-0 shutout loss that left most in the crowd yawning, except for when they were booing....Ted Nolan said,
The fans know how important they are to us and how much encouragement the players get from them. But the flip side is that we can't ask them to be loud if we don't give them something to be loud about. It's a Catch-22. We've got to perform to get them on our side." It's not going to happen overnight. Still, the lack of excitement over the Buffalo game never would have happened in a lot of other places in the NHL.more

Gallant Searching For Goals

from the Columbus Dispatch,
The Blue Jackets are paying their top 12 forwards about $24 million this season, roughly $6 million more than the entire roster made in 2000-01, the inaugural season. The Jackets expected to be an offensive force, but they aren't getting much bang for their buck so far. "We have to create more scoring chances, it's just that simple," coach Gerard Gallant said. "I thought we played a real good game defensively (Saturday), but we didn't create enough and we didn't capitalize on the few chances we did get. "There's no reason we should be struggling to score goals like this. With the people we have? There's no reason at all."read on

Stock woes hit biotech
Quarter of region's firms' shares below $1
Send this story to a friend
- John George
- Staff Writer
When August began, the stocks of eight of the region's 20 publicly traded life sciences companies were trading below $1 per share. Five of them are still dwelling below the share mark that's required for listing on the Nasdaq stock market that's made up heavily of biotech and technology stocks.
One company, Immunicon Corp., was sold for $31 million in a bankruptcy proceeding. Another, Isolagen Inc. of Exton, climbed over the $1 threshold after posting positive last-stage test results of its lead product.
Neose Technologies, PhotoMedex, Hemispherx, PolyMedix, Protalex and Velcera remain with shares trading in cents rather than dollars.
Crossing that $1 per share threshold is particularly important for life sciences companies seeking capital needed to develop experimental drugs, drug-delivery systems and medical devices.
Nick Landekic, CEO of PolyMedix, said there is a "psychological component" tied to stock prices.
"It's one of those cases where perception is reality," Landekic said. "If your price is less than $1 a share you are for many investors not as attractive as you would be if you are above a dollar."
PolyMedix temporarily hit the $1 per share mark last week, about a week after the Food and Drug Administration approved its application to begin human clinical testing of its anticoagulant reversing agent, which sets out to prevent blood clots. Its stock has since slipped back to 91 cents a share.
The company, which raised $15 million in an equity financing last month, has traded its stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) for the past two years after completing a reverse merger with a publicly traded shell company on the exchange.

Refiners face $13 billion clean fuels bill
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Oil refiners will need to invest 800 billion rupees ($13.4 billion) in upgrades to produce cleaner fuels, a government official said, as the world's fourth biggest oil consumer seeks to curb dire air pollution in its cities.
The World Health Organization, in a recent study, said air pollution in New Delhi was the worst anywhere, while 13 of the dirtiest 20 cities were in India.
Economic growth and urbanisation in the country of 1.2 billion will lengthen traffic jams on already-choked city roads, increasing the need for action to minimise health risks such as cancer, strokes and heart disease.
"We are doing all this for public health now that there is sufficient evidence on the ground to suggest that ambient air pollution has deleterious effects on human health," said Saumitra Chaudhuri, head of a government panel tasked with proposing new fuel standards.
Chaudhuri, who is also a member of the Planning Commission, said he hoped that the next government would consider the panel's recommendations.
Results of a general election are due on Friday and exit polls give the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi a good chance of securing a parliamentary majority together with its allies.
"We are more concerned with the environment and we want people to have better quality of life which also includes better quality of air," said Narendra Taneja, a BJP energy policy coordinator, saying his party would seek a "holistic solution".
The proposed changes would take effect in two stages, with the introduction of fuels that are equivalent to the Euro IV standard from April 2017, followed by a further step up to the Euro V standard in April 2020.
India lags China in switching to higher-quality fuels, with Beijing aiming for nationwide use of Euro V fuels from 2018. China began full scale use of Euro IV compliant gasoline from this year and will shift to Euro IV diesel from next year.
Europe, meanwhile, already requires Euro V and VI standards.
These set increasingly tight limits on harmful gaseous pollutants and particulate matter, with separate requirements applying to different types of diesel and petrol engine.
About three dozen cities currently use Euro IV equivalent fuels, also known as BS IV fuels, while motorists in the rest of the country use BS-III fuel.
BS-V require gasoline to have a sulphur content of 10 parts per million (ppm) down from 50 in BS IV and 350 ppm and 150 ppm sulphur in BS III diesel and gasoline.
There were about 160 million vehicles on India's roads on March 31, 2012, according to a government website.
According to a report for the government, India consumes about 69 million tonnes a year of diesel - of which 70 percent is accounted for by the transport sector - and about 17 million tonnes of gasoline.
Chaudhuri said the $13.4 billion figure covered all refineries excluding Reliance Industries, owner of the world's biggest refining complex.
With this hefty and timely investment Indian refiners should be able to produce Euro V-type fuels from December 2019, enabling a smooth switch from the following April and avoiding costlier imports.
Indian refiners had to import Euro IV fuels in 2010 when India introduced them in some parts of the country.
Chaudhuri said in the first phase BS-V fuels will be introduced in northern India in April 2019. Officials at Indian refiners said that most of the investment costs would be linked to producing BS-V fuels.
Officials at state refiners said they need to install new secondary units like desulphurisers, hydrotreaters and change the catalyst of the existing units to enable existing refiners to produce Euro V compliant fuel.
Indian Oil Corp, the country's biggest refiner, will invest about 80 billion rupees, while Hindustan Petroleum Corp will invest 50-60 billion rupees, sources at the two companies said.
To aid state refiners, which rely on subsidies to sell fuels at regulated prices, the committee has recommended that a cess, or levy, of 0.75 rupees a litre be imposed to help raise 650-700 billion rupees over seven years, Chaudhuri said.
He said the committee has also recommended a similar cess on BS III compliant fuel in the intervening period to bridge that price gap that may spur use of the inferior fuel.

Omar was with us all day on the 19th. We went to AT&T store since the screen to get him a replacement iPhone. His was broken. He decided not to get a phone and fresh start with a new provider. At 7:15pm we arrived home. He took his own keys to go to gym, left the house at 7:20pm and was announced dead at 7:33pm. According to police he was driving 45 miles per hour He didn't had a phone. Somehow he lost control and hit a light post. Air bag hit him on the face and broke his neck. He didn't had his seat belt on. He passed away upon impact.
No one know what caused him to lose control. No witness came forward. It was a quite Sunday afternoon and not many people on the street. May be if he had his seat belt on. ;(

A brief oddity.
I am indifferent
It drones on and on. It's not particularly interesting or entertaining, and the whole time you're thinking, "When is this damn thing going to end?" And then when it does, it's like you've been asleep the whole time and you've FINALLY WOKEN UP.
But, not mind-numbingly bad.
That indeed was strange but I really enjoyed it. The girl's voice was among the best features of the movie. The graphic/drawing was very simple but also unique and went very well with the dream-like atmosphere. As the review below me said -- this is well worth recognition.
I really liked it, very strange, but very descriptive and really captured the feeling of a dream. Graphics were simple, yet seem to portray the dream like state of the movie, the audio was my favourite part of the whole thing, loved the little girl type voice with the strange sudden changes, again showin how realistic this dream world was, well worthy of recognition, and i'm sure you'll get it
Wow, that was really scary. Very nice work.

The Bluecoat Secures Three-Year Funding
posted 01 Jul 2014
Sat 5 July – Sun 26 October, 10am - 6pm
A Needle Walks into a Haystack is the Biennial's exhibition of international art that unfolds across Liverpool's public spaces and galleries. Curated by Mai Abu ElDahab and Anthony Huberman, it disrupts the way we assume our habits, and experience our habitats.
The Bluecoat presents a single artist, American painter James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). Through paintings, prints, drawings, sound, ephemera and key correspondences, this exhibition, the first of its kind in the UK, will explore elements of Whistler's practice and life that position him as the 'original' contemporary artist, in a reflection of how artists operate today.
Liverpool's creative hub, the Bluecoat showcases talent across visual art, music, dance, live art and literature.
As the oldest building in Liverpool's city centre, the Bluecoat houses a creative community of...
Sat 30 Aug, 2-10pm
Following a two-year break, grass roots festival Above the Beaten Track returns to the Bluecoat to shine a light on the city's cultural underground, showcasing live music, DJs, artists, makers and audio-visual extravaganzas.

I worked at Monetate as an intern for less than a year
- The people are fantastic.
- Great product. Truly believe in it.
- Catered lunch.
- Encourage workers to take a break from work and play a game of ping pong or something.
- Team environment. Willing to help each other out.
- Very demanding. While the company enjoys having it's fun, they definitely get things done. As an intern, it was incredibly demanding but well worth it.

"Pretentious Cult-Like Environment "

- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Monetate full-time for more than a yearPros
I bought into the hype of working at Monetate and here is what I have learned so far:
-Free lunch daily.Cons
-Monetate does not QA its own product. I almost fell off my chair when I found this out. This leads to poor quality control and it shows within the product.
- The company culture is kind of creepy. It almost has a snobby "cult" feel to it. This is presumably due to the way the pretentious CEO runs the company.
- Job titles are inflated beyond belief. It seems that 80% of the employees have "engineer" in their title, yet they're not really engineers (QA "Engineer"....Sales "Engineer"...really?!? Lets be realistic folks!)
- Upper management lacks direction and as another reviewer mentioned here - it's like a "good ol' boys network." Some of the people in upper management roles here (i.e., the SVP) would likely be managers (at most) in established companies.
- Lots of "cliques" - remember how it was in high school? Yep - same way here.
- True product management doesn't exist here. There's no true product roadmap. Wait, a roadmap? What's that? My point exactly.
- People seem to feel a sense of "entitlement" here.
- Benefits are pretty awful. No retirement match and the medical benefits are very sub-par.Advice to ManagementAdvice
If true upper managment existed here, my advice would be to wake up and realize that it's time to whip this company into shape. Internal policies are lacking beyond belief and the internal siloes keep growing taller by the month as we continue to staff up as such a rapid pace.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

"Lots of perks, but with challenges "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Monetate full-time for more than a yearPros
-Decent line of products that seem to be selling
-Flexible work/life balance
-Employees tend to respect each other when face-to-face anyway
-There are groups of smart & talented people working here
-Free lunch dailyCons
-Products are often created with little focus on usability. Instead, the idea is to churn out products and fix issues later. Not bad if you are a start-up, but Monetate is no longer a start-up and the more clients we get, the more these issues are noticed.
-Disparate internal systems leads to lots of wasted time and double-work.
-Fast growth is beginning to create silos. The start-up feel still exists but is beginning to erode.
-Product Management fails to communicate a strategy/roadmap (if one exists).
-Health benefits are mediocre at best. This is likely because Monetate attracts a younger workforce.
-No 401k match. I'll pack my lunch if you provide some sort of retirement match.Advice to ManagementAdvice
It's time to place a focus on product development strategy. We can think like a start-up all we want, but we need to act like a company when it comes to road-mapping our products and meeting client needs. The competitors are taking notice to what Monetate has accomplished and it's about time we push things to the next level.

Justin Bieber heads out to posh Beverly Hills restaurant in ripped shorts and cap... but he is driving a Lamborghini
Spare a though for the other diners at the exclusive Crustacean restaurant in Beverly Hills.
Having pulled on their finest clothes and emptied their piggy banks to afford dinner at the upmarket location, they arrived to see Justin Beiber waltzing in wearing a cap and ripped jeans.
But at least he arrived in a fancy white Lamborghini.
Swanky ride: Justin Bieber was behind the wheel of another car on Saturday in Beverly Hills California
The 18-year-old didn't sabotage his street cred for the occasion and rocked up to the posh establishment in cut-off denim shorts, worn low on his hips.
He teamed it with a black vest, leather jacket and a cap worn backwards as well as gold jewellery around his wrist and neck.
The pop star was surrounded by similarly dressed friends for the visit to the seafood eatery, who may not have been admitted entry to the venue in their attire if it were not for their level of fame.
Seafood dinner: Bieber left Crustacean restaurant after eating with his pals
Street style: He dressed in a backwards cap and denim shorts
Justin was meeting up with 23-year-old rapper Tyga, who is perhaps most famed for his hit Rack City as well as his part in Drake and Lil Wayne's The Motto.
Bieber seemed to seriously be emulating his laidback style, suggesting he may be hoping for a collaboration and that a move further into the rap scene is on the cards.
On New Year's Day, the Boyfriend singer and his friend were staying at the hotel when rapper Lil Twist borrowed Justin's white 458 Italia.
Business meal? He dined with rapper Tyga suggesting he may want a collaboration
Fashion inspiration: There's no guessing where Justin gets his new style from
According to TMZ Twist - real name Christopher Moore - did not even make it out of the carpark before he damaged the vehicle.
As the website reported, the 19-year-old bottomed out the car on the hotel's driveway causing serious damage to its undercarriage.
While he drove off, the hotel is now covering what is expected to be a $8,000 to $10,000 bill.
Expensive motor: Justin later hopped into his Lamborghini
How does this one work? The pop star seems to have cars coming out of his ears
The rapper was later pulled over by California High Patrol officers when a paparazzo stopped to take pictures he was struck by a passing car.
The 29-year-old freelance photographer Chris Guerra, died at the scene.
The following day Justin released a statement calling for more law changes to deal with paparazzi.

So last week we (GhanaCelebrities.Com) posted a readers mail about Nadia possible wearing bum pads (Click Here To See It).
To start with, how did the writer see this? I saw the pictures like most of you, but i did not notice anything special about her bum until the mail came through.
As if the mail in itself was not funny enough, some of the comments made me wonder even more.
What is the issue here?
I wear Brazilian hair, just like 85% of the woman in Ghana (my own estimation).I also wear acrylic nails. This is also fake and on special occasions I might wear some false eye lashes.
These are products that most women use to look more beautiful and to feel better about them self.
I even think selling Brazilian hair is the best way to make money in Ghana at the moment. How many of our female celebrities don't wear them?
Please, I am not confirming if Nadia wears bum pads or not. That is her business, but if it makes her feel better and look better why not?
All I am saying is that we all use something every now and then to look better. And just because we are used to some of these products do not make them better. At least our celebs are not into botox and implants yet.
Don't get me wrong I certainly understand what the writer was saying when it comes to little girls looking up to celebs and wanting to be like them. I strongly believe as a parent you are responsible for raising your child. It's up to you to let your child understand these people make money with their looks. It's an image.
Just saying……..We are all equally guilty as women, not only Nadia Buari.
