Nigeria: How we deceived the President to float new PDP- Oyinlola
By IndepthAfrica

By Fejiro Oliver
Revelations are beginning to unveil as to how Baraje and his group were able to declare a new Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) without suspicion from Bamanga Tukur and his allies. This secret was made known by the new PDP Secretary, Mr. Olagunsoye Oyinlola at his hometown, Okuku. According to the former governor of Osun State, they had earlier booked the
venue of the declaration as a wedding arena, so as to confuse the Bamanga Tukur who would have sealed the place as their secretariat.
"They would have sealed the place off the way they did to our party secretariat, but we beat them to it by booking the venue for wedding without making our intention known", he revealed. With this, they were able to beat the security operatives who likely may have shut the Shehu Yaradua venue of their declaration.
Oyinlola in his speech told the supports that they are the authentic group, while he constantly refers to Bamanga Tukur as the "former chairman". The former governor speech has confirmed the rumors that their walking out of the PDP convention was stage managed, as they had earlier plan to float a parallel faction
The new PDP secretariat is currently under seal by the men of the Nigerian Police force

March 19, 2012 Posted by admin in Film Related, New News Category Name, Producers' Lab
Interview with Filmmaker Peter Nicks on "THE WAITING ROOM"Check out our interview below with Peter Nicks, Director/Producer for The Waiting Room, an innovative blend of documentary film and social media that follows the life and times of an American public hospital amidst the greatest change to our health care system in decades. Peter is a participant in Firelight Media's Producers' Lab, a mentorship program for for independent, talented, and diverse filmmakers.
About The Film
The Waiting Room is a character-driven documentary film that uses extraordinary access to go behind the doors of an American public hospital struggling to care for a community of largely uninsured patients. The film offers a raw, intimate, and even uplifting look at how patients, staff and caregivers each cope with disease, bureaucracy and hard choices.
About The Storytelling Project
The Waiting Room Storytelling Project is a location-based social media and community engagement initiative that aims to improve the patient experience through the collection and sharing of digital content. This cultural data – video, data visualizations, photographs and text – is collected in the waiting room by creating frameworks for sharing that range from anonymous expressions of feeling to deeper storytelling.
Firelight Media: What are some of the highlights of the film?
Peter Nicks: In the film, we have a nurse who is sort of the queen of the waiting room and she represents caregivers. Her spirit shines throughout the film. It is a hard film to watch in some ways because it reveals how challenged this health care system is. But this woman is a miracle. If we had more caregivers like her, our public healthcare system would be that much better.
There are many stories in the film, all of them very powerful. There is a family that brought their young daughter to the hospital. She was my daughter's age when we were filming, and seeing their challenges brings home the urgency of what we are facing. People don't have continuity of care. I remember my doctor growing up. I had same doctor from elementary school through college, but that is not the case for a significant segment of the population. And this is where this film sheds light.
FM: Where is film showing?
PN: We just did a preview at the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri. You can check out my interview there on YouTube. We will be screening parts of the film in the Netherlands, when I speak at the TEDx program on "The Future of Health". The World Premiere of The Waiting Room is scheduled for the Full Frame Documentary Festival in April 2012. We are also headed to the Ashland Independent Film Festival, the San Francisco International Film Festival, Hot Docs Canadian International Film Festival, and Rooftop Films 2012, among others. We have several community screenings planned as well, including one on May 12, 2012 at the Schomburg Center in Harlem.
The film is scheduled to air on PBS' Independent Lens in the Fall of 2012.
FM: What inspired you to work on this project?
PN: My wife works at the hospital where we shot the film and I was listening to her tell me these stories everyday--about people who were taking two or three buses to get to the hospital and who had such a fighting spirit. All we hear about is the arguing between special interest groups, politicians, and journalists. What gets lost, are these small stories, which add up to a big picture of communities dealing with this stuff day in and day out. That is what I am trying to capture.
FM: What do you want audiences to think about as they engage the film?
PN: We tried not to make a political film that tells the audience what to think or feel. But we do want everyone to think about what kind of healthcare system we should have. We want to remind people that things are still not working right and we shouldn't forget the uninsured and underserved, because we are all connected. Any one of us can find ourselves stuck in a public hospital waiting room tomorrow. We want people to keep this in the forefront of what has become a series of ideological arguments and debates. People stuck in the waiting rooms have no voice in this conversation at all. Through this film and the interactive project, we want to bring them to the conversation. It is an ongoing conversation, this thing won't be solved tomorrow.
FM: Tell me about the interactive arm of the project.
PN: The interactive companion to the film is about using storytelling to engage people around this issue of access to healthcare. Our platform allows patients to engage while they are stuck in the waiting room of the hospital. We want to turn a disconnected, isolated experience into something more empowering. People can upload videos, photos, commentary and send tweets. As we move forward, all of this cultural data will be curated online and used to get a better understanding of the needs and experiences of people that are underserved.
FM: How did you fund your work?
PN: The interactive piece actually preceded the film. Doing the interactive piece first definitely helped us raise money. We had a presence online and we were able to attract a lot of people that way. Putting the vignettes online allowed funders and donors to see the potential for the film, and that helped a lot. I also went through the BAVC Producers Institute for New Media Technologies. Then ITVS got involved. MacArthur funded the interactive project and the film. We also received a grant from the Fledgling Fund. We received a P360 grant from ITVS for the interactive project, and California Endowment supported that piece as well.
FM: What have been your major challenges?
PN: Time and resources. The interactive piece is a whole project in itself. You can't do both simultaneously. We have fundraised close to a million dollars. I am the director of both projects. Dealing with technology adds a whole other problem-solving checklist. It is almost like building a start-up company. For filmmakers who are trying to embark on an interactive project, you have to go in with both eyes open. It is hard to focus and make them both at the same time. We basically stopped working on the interactive piece when we worked on the film. The film is like a child, it needs your attention, you have to feed it and nurse it. We are working to figure out outreach and distribution for the film, and traveling around to festivals. The interactive is a heavy part of the community engagement but it needs its own level of legwork.
FM: How has your participation in the Firelight Media Producers' Lab helped you?
PN: It is always helpful to be part of a community of creative people who want to tell a story and make an impact. Sometimes this process can be an incredibly lonely and difficult journey. I am in Cally, so it was hard to participate in all of the events and gatherings, but I did attend quite a few of them. The Firelight community is extremely valuable because it is a unique community. There are not that many producers of color, so that alone has an intangible value for me, both personally and professionally. Getting to know people who have done it, people like Byron Hurt, Laurens Grant and others, you just get inspired. Being close to Stanley Nelson, who is a veteran, is incredible. This kind of space really doesn't exist anywhere else. After Blackside, there have not been too many outposts. I am incredibly grateful for all of the relationships I have made through the program. And hopefully, I can help mentor another filmmaker coming up.
To have mentorship and community support in a focused way is absolutely vital for young independent filmmakers. It is vital because it is so hard to do this thing--there are so many questions, so many roadblocks. I was really fortunate to get the funding that I did early on. I know that my experience is atypical… but without something like the Producers' Lab, you are on your own. If you don't have institutional support, you are on your own. And on top of it, how does one find a mentor who can bring that cultural piece to your journey? It is hard to express the importance of that. I went to Howard, so I kind of had some of that experience coming through college. But this is a hugely supportive environment, where you can get relevant feedback on a cultural level that you might not get in some other professional networks.
FM: How can our readers support this project?
PN: They can go to our website http://www.whatruwaitingfor.com/ and spread the word! We are trying to raise the voices of the people in the waiting room and bring them out into the public sphere. As we move forward, we will have marching orders for people. To organize a screening, a discussion, or a community event, you can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. And definitely join us on Facebook.

Whether you have no time to search for a notary......or you need help obtaining a California apostille for your foreign-bound documents, you WILL NOT find a more reliable, reasonably priced mobile notary and apostille service — from Twin Towers to Long Beach County Jail to Irvine to Pitchess — Mobile City Notary will be there.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department operates the largest jail system in the United States. The Los Angeles County Jail provides short-term incarceration services for all of the County (including cities like Los Angeles, Glendale, Burbank, and Long Beach which have their own police departments). The Men's Central Jail (MCJ) and Twin Towers Correctional Facility (TTCF) are located in a dense cluster northeast of Union Station that is next to the station's rail yard. The North County Correctional Facility (NCCF) is the largest of the four jail facilities located at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California. The other facilities are East Facility, North Facility, and South Facility.
Some of the newer contract cities like Santa Clarita and West Hollywood have never had police departments. When their city governments were founded, they took over what was formerly unincorporated land, but then contracted their police responsibilities right back to the county sheriff. Since the department already had substations in those areas anyway, the result was to maintain the status quo.[citation needed]
In contrast, Compton, California,
used to have a police department, but in 2000, the city council voted
to dismantle the troubled police department and become a contract city.
Compton has been at times notorious for gang violence, especially during its recent history
Mobile Notary Public Five Step Business Growth Plan
Maybe youre just beginning your mobile notary public business and you'd like to learn steps to make it lucrative. Or possibly your company is already lucrative, but youd like to really make it more lucrative. How will you increase your notary business?
This is a five-step plan that will help you build more business without investing more about advertising. The program is symbolized through the acronym FOCUS:
1. Fine-tune your marketing message
2. Optimize profits amounts
3. Cultivate repeat business and recommendations
4. Unite with proper partners
5. Streamline your marketing activity
Allows discuss each step in greater detail.
1. Fine-tune your marketing message
Why is your notary services stick out using their company notaries your prospects will find in online sites? If you're able to sum this up in 90 words or less, you've got a effective marketing message will increase the potency of your marketing efforts.
To help you stick out out of your competition, your marketing message can stress items like:
Special services you are offering, like loan signing or reverse mortgage signing
Marketplaces you focus on serving, for example home loan signing companies, lawyers, or hospitals
The geographic area you serve
Conveniences you are offering, for example mobility, odd hrs, or hurry service
Its important to maintain your marketing message short so that you can say it rapidly in conversations and kind it in a nutshell spaces on the internet and on cell phones. For this reason 90 words or less is a great guideline.
2. Optimize profits amounts
After you have an excellent-updated marketing message, technology-not only to optimize profits amounts. Profits amounts include:
The amount of prospects you meet each week
The number of the number of prospects you meet to the number of become clients
The typical you get per client
Well return to how you can boost the first number in steps 3 through 5.
Your prospect-to-client conversion ratio will often increase from inserting your marketing message to your existing marketing activity. Make certain all of your verbal sales pitches, phone scripts, marketing literature, an internet-based promotion stresses your marketing message. You may also improve your prospect-to-client ratio by examining profits tactics, trying new tactics, and testing the things that work. For example, you may test which emphasis works well with opening your sales hype, whether phones or mail or Online marketing produce a better response, and just how many occasions normally it requires to follow-up having a prospect to obtain a response.
You are able to boost the average you get per client by providing additional services for added costs, like loan signing.
3. Cultivate repeat business and recommendations
A different way to boost the average you get per client is as simple as creating repeat business, also is your very best marketing strategy. Your present clients know what you are, that which you offer, and what type of customer support you deliver. Its much simpler and fewer costly to encourage them to hire you again than to convince a brand new prospect to employ you, so it seems sensible to concentrate your promotion first in your existing clients before searching for new customers. Have a good listing of the consumer contact details, connect with them, and provide them incentives for using the services of you again.
Your overall customers are also your very best sales pressure with the recommendations they can provide you with. In case your clients much like your service, theyll be prone to recommend you to definitely others they are fully aware who've similar needs, as well as their testimony will carry excess fat than advertising from someone it normally won't know. Encourage your customers to recommend others they are fully aware who may need the services you provide, request them when they know anybody who needs the services you provide, and provide them incentives for mentioning others for you.
4. Unite with proper partners
Recommendations from proper partners are another cost-effective method for you to achieve new prospects. Unite with proper partners who connect to your target audience in ways that doesn't contend with you. For example, since loan signing information mill a significant mobile notary market and also have a close relationship with property firms, you may offer local property firms a commission for that first couple of projects you receive from recommendations they provide you with to loan signing companies in your town.
5. Streamline your marketing activity
Finally, streamline your marketing activity by concentrating on the marketplaces and media that will take you the greatest results. Identify specific industries, geographic areas, and firms you need to serve. Gear your web marketing activity towards individuals specific marketplaces, emphasizing your target industries and geographic area in your website as well as in directory entries. Obtain specific contact details for that appropriate company personnel when marketing yourself by telephone, direct mail, or email. Remember to stress your fine-updated marketing message in most your marketing efforts, and monitor which marketing techniques and angles work good for you.
Putting these five steps into practice provides you with leverage over a few of the important aspects that may multiply the development of the mobile notary public business. You'll find yourself delivering a far more focused marketing message, improving is a result of profits and marketing efforts, and becoming more business.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Planting the Russian Seed
Sophie Masson on Jun 20 2012 | Filed under: Book Talk, Inspirations
Childhood books are so powerful. They can imbue us with a passion for something unexpected, but whose effects are lifelong. And sometimes, when you look back, you can see the precise moment when it happened, the exact story that turned you on to something deep and important.
I was thinking about that recently—I'm in the middle of writing a wonderfully intense and involving YA fairytale novel, Scarlet in the Snow, inspired by the Russian version of Beauty and the Beast (known as 'The Scarlet Flower') and I got to thinking about my enduring fascination for all things Russian, and how it all began. It was with a book my father gave me for my eleventh birthday, a book he himself had loved as a boy, and his father before him: a novel by the classic French writer Jules Verne, simply called Michel Strogoff . (In English, it was published as Michael Strogoff, Courier of the Czar.)
It's not well-known in English, but the French consider it to be Verne's best novel. Historical adventure rather than science fiction, it's full of exciting action, vivid descriptions, thrilling romance, dark secrets, an engaging touch of humour, great characters, especially the young, brave, honourable Siberian hero, Michel Strogoff, and his beloved, Nadia; and above all a sense of a land as vast as it was dramatic. When I first read it, aged eleven, I already had a few images of Russia, drawn from fairytales I'd loved, such as the Tale of Prince Ivan, Grey Wolf and the Firebird; Fenist the Falcon, Masha and the Bear, The Frog Princess and so on. I was drawn, too, because of my parents' interest in Russian music and Russian icons, which meant we were familiar with both. But Michel Strogoff turned what had been a liking into a passion.
I read the novel I don't know how many times, swept away by the grandeur of the story, the fantastic adventure, with its wolves, bears, bandits, iced-up rivers, cruel torturers and traitors. I thrilled to the love I could see developing between Nadia and Michel, both equally brave, each in their own way, and I was swept away too by the description of the journey, which starts in Moscow and ends in Siberia—an exhilerating journey over water and through forest and mountain. Basically, it's a chase novel, and it has the breakneck pace of that, culminating in an especially unexpected and satisfyingly resolved twist. But it is also beautifully written, as tight and clever as Around the World in Eighty Days, and much more moving. No wonder French critics reckon it's Verne's best!
That novel led me directly as a teenager to plunge into actual Russian literature—to Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Gogol, Bulgakov, and so on, and it's a passion that has never left me but only deepened and widened with the years, expanding into modern Russian literature of all types including, recently, the wonderful urban fantasy novels of Sergei Lukyanenko (The Night Watch series; and trust me, the books are infinitely better than the films).
A few years ago, I wrote a novel based on Russian fairytale and history, The Firebird (Hachette, 1999). Last year too, after decades of dreaming about it, I went to Russia for the first time—an amazing and wonderful trip by water, from Moscow to St Petersburg, stopping at towns and villages along the way. And as I stood on the deck of the boat last year, as we glided serenely down the vast rivers and lakes of Russia, past endless forests and ancient towns, I thought of Michel Strogoff, and how wonderful it was that it had brought me here.
It hasn't ended there. That trip last year has only made me all the more addicted to this extraordinary country and its culture, we're going again this August, this time as independent travellers. (To which purpose, after years of shilly-shallying, I'm learning the language too and finding it a good deal easier than I'd thought!) What's more, I'm not only in the middle of writing Scarlet in the Snow, I've also written the first draft of an adult novel set in Russia, Trinity, which mixes crime and the supernatural, and am planning to research, on the ground in the countryside around Moscow, a children's novel set in the Napoleonic invasion.
And it all started with a book given to me on my eleventh birthday. Stories are powerful magic indeed.

Michel Strogoff sounds amazing. I might have to pick it up for my boys (and me!). I love that you can pinpoint where your love affair with Russia began. Enjoy your next trip!
Sophie, I am a deep, life-long Russophile as well! My first novel is a Russian historical thriller, but even my mss not set in Russia are inspired by that unknowable enigma. From Dostoevsky to Yevtushenko to Akhmatova to Pasternak--I love it all.
The Firebird sounds wonderful! Is it still available?
It's interesting that this happened when you were eleven. It's my own personal, anecdotal, completely non-fact-based opinion that eleven is the age when the magic happens. When one is primed to encounter that thing that will shape your life.
For me it was Star Wars. For a lot of kids a decade ago, it was Harry Potter. Yours was Michel Strogoff. My son is 10 and I'm excited and also a bit wary about what his will be. Something equally sweeping and adventurous, I hope. (I'll leave Verne lying about the house, just in case...)
I remember that novel - vaguely. I was so busy enjoying the rest of Verne and Dumas that this book, unfortunately, did not make quite such an impression on me as it obviously did on you. But I do love Russian literature. I had an even more obscure literary crush when I was that age: Karl May 'The Adventures of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand'. Cowboys and Indians at its most romantic and adventurous. And probably completely unknown outside Germany.
So glad you shared about Michael Strogoff. When I was a Senior in high school, I set off on a path of reading the noted Russian authors. This certainly enriched my knowledge about that society & tied in well with studying History at university.
Great to learn about another book!
I always wanted to write YA because that was the point when books were most powerful for me. They didn't even have to be particularly spectacular books, it was just the process of being a teen and reading something new or thought-provoking or coming across an idea for the first time. It can be very powerful.
The childhood book that turned me into a real reader was Calico Bush, by Rachel Field. First published in the 1930s, though I found it in the late 60s, at about 10. I had read voraciously before that, but Calico Bush spoke to me like the Bobbsey Twins and Happy Hollisters never did. It's the story of Marguerite, a 12 y.o. French girl orphaned on board a ship to the New World, who must support herself by "hiring out" as a servant to a young family headed north to homestead along the Maine coast. In Maggie, I explored a time and place both new to me, and yet she was a young girl like me, afraid and brave at the same time. I still cherish my copy, and highly recommend it.
It was reading Little Women and then Pride & Prejudice that made me fall in love with storytelling and want to write stories with great family dynamics.
I think Pride & Prejudice was also the beginning of my fascination with stories that involve secrets and the power they wield both when they are kept and when they are finally revealed.
Thank you for sharing your passion for Russian culture and literature. For me it all began with J.D. Salinger's The Catcher In the Rye. From there I discovered the work of Saul Bellow, John Updike, and Philip Roth. As a young adult I discovered an affinity for family sagas (the genre which I write) and became a devoted reader of Anne Tyler, Alice McDermott and Alice Munro, though I read all genres. Thanks again for this post.
Completely unfamiliar with Michel Strogoff, thanks for mentioning it. Must read.
I love Russian stories! My favorite authors are Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekov and Pushkin. I love their fairy and folk tales also. I've read most of Verne's books but didn't know about this one. Thanks for the review. I'll have to go look this book up now.
I always loved fairytales as a child. Once I exhausted my libraries selections, I moved on-- burning through mythology, then ghosts, and then King Arthur. After that I was bummed until I discovered adults had fairytales, but they were called Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I tackled Lord of the Rings at thirteen-- patiently reading through the long descriptions but, at the end of the last book, I was so anxious to find out what happened to Frodo I began speed reading. :D From that experience I learned I love the detail, but it's the action that turns the page.
For me it was Roald Dahl's books. I was hooked on the quirky characters and the humor, magic, and danger on every page.
I LOVED Verne as a child--he was my introduction to science fiction--but I've never heard of MICHEL STROGOFF! Now I'm a bit sad, because I probably would have loved it--but of course, there's no reason I can't go read it now.
Scott O'Dell was a huge influence on me as a child, especially his book ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS. It's been getting a lot of press lately in light of the author's death, but JULIE OF THE WOLVES was another one. They both made me love stories with rich inner dialogues, since the main characters spend so much time with little but animals for companionship. You'd think I would have grown up to write stories about Native Americans from all the books I read as a child.
The real story that made me want to write came a little later, when I was a teenager. SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE by Kurt Vonnegut was the one that made me realize the power of words, and I've been wanting to harness and replicate that power ever since.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments--great to hear about all your own influential reading passions. It's so interesting, isn't it, thinking of the genealogy of our inspiration, and the ripple effect those books have had on us..
Lindsay, the Firebird is out of print but it is easily available as a digital audio book on audible.com(the audio books branch of amazon), and it's really nicely read! It may also be available as a used book at abebooks.com
Sophie, that's a great story. It reminded me of a boy I was asked by a local school district to tutor because he had been absent from school a lot. He was 12 and was required to write a paper on a favorite author. He chose Ruth Stiles Gannett who wrote My Father's Dragon. It just so happened that Gannett lived near us. This student called her on the phone and interviewed her. She was gracious, and he did a great job on his paper. Authors really can have a significant impact on us as human beings.
I've just finished reading a book of Russian fairy tales to my daughters. We loved them so much! This post brought that back and inspired me to find more such tales to read to them.
Thank you for a wonderful post, Sophie - I can pinpoint a few key books in my childhood too. I think my love of fairytale retellings began with Eleanor Farjeon's Cinderella tale, 'The Glass Slipper', which I absolutely adored. I'm about to read it to my own daughter, who was christened Eleanor (after the writer) and called Ella (after the character in the book).
I also loved Susan Cooper, Joan Aiken, Elizabeth Goudge, so many wonderful childhood writers ...
On the subject of initial reader inspiration, mine was Owen Wister's 'The Virginian', a story of the old west. What captivated me was his evocation of the open country. The picture he created for me of his hero sleeping in the saddle during the long, long trek to see his sweetheart has stayed with these me sixty years since.
Hi Sophia,
Love your post! Michael Strogoff sounds awesome and will be looking for it.
My love affairs with novels goes in waves. I find myself looking to repeat the experience of discovery with something completely new every couple of years. Currently, I getting into His Dark Materials series and everything in the parallel reality genre, leading me to write my first novel. This story follows a protagonist jumping between four different lives in parallel realities.
Thank you again for your post.
What a great story. And one that made me suddenly remember The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - a book I read when i was really young and has stayed with me forever. Thank you for jogging my memory.
I loved your tale of how you became interested in Russian everything, and have a great time there again!
I must confess to being awed at the early reading habits of my fellow commenters. In my family, there were very few fairy tales and no classics. I was raised on Enid Blyton, Carolyn Keene, the Pullein-Thompson sisters and the occasional dog book. Mary Stewart, Paul Gallico and Lynn Reid Banks also featured, though the only book by any of these three authors I remember is "The L-Shaped Room". Perhaps it is time I went back and reread these to see if I can trace my writing roots. Thanks for a thought-provoking piece, Sophie.
Wonderful post, Sophie! Books are magic, aren't they?
I too read Michael Strogoff when I was young. Not only did it inspire me to be a writer, I majored in Russian History.

So I just started working out again upon completing my exams
And since Ive stopped training this lump in my chest began to grow.
Today when I finished my workout it became all soft but after my workout like right now its hard again
anyone else know what this is, whats the problem?
The Doctor said not to worry about it as it is normal and everybody has them.
She didnt ask if it even hurts, which it doesnt. She just said its fine
I dont know mann
Anyway I have a theory for it.
Maybe its like estrogen build up or fat build up and because I havent been working out as usual, my body doesnt know what to do. Therefore it just stores it somewhere
can anyone elaborate
im 17

Series one, episode five
The lively promise of this French comedy-drama about Sophie, a slightly snooty housewife (think Kristin Scott Thomas's less viperish sister) who inherits her late husband's smut empire, has been largely wasted as this six-part series has progressed. What started out as a kooky Gallic trip through the brittle two-way looking-glass that separates suburbia from sleaze has settled into tittersome X-rated 'Shirley Valentine' knock-off for Left Bank existentialists. And les giggles have steadily dried up too.
This closing chapter sees Sophie edging from porn queen to pimp as she whores out her stable of male wang-wranglers to the mademoiselles of Paris while attempting to reconcile her business life with her personal affairs (again). Still, it's not often you get to see a male porn star dressed in Sergeant Pepper gear introduce himself with the line, 'Want to fuck? I am Paul McCartney is my name.' Worth it for that alone? Non.

I'm having a repeat c/s on August 17th. My first was unplanned after a failed induction, so my whole family was already at the hospital waiting for him to be born. My mom and sister were in my recovery room pretty quickly. Originally I had planned that my husband would bring my son in to meet his new baby brother in recovery, and then the family could start trickling in. Now I'm not sure. I was SO out of it last time. I really want time to do skin to skin and try to nurse before we're totally bombarded by family... and if they are there waiting, they're going to just stay for god knows how long. I feel like the baby will just be taken out of my arms and I won't get any time with him myself, let alone time to even rest.
Did anyone have family there right away, or do most people make everyone wait?
It's absolutely a personal preference. If you'd prefer to have some alone time with your DH and both kids, do it. Do the skin-to-skin for a while before people come in.
We did have family almost immediately both times, but it's what we wanted. If we didn't want them in there, we would have asked them to wait. I got time to breastfeed and have our other kids meet the baby and then we had our parents and siblings.
Other family and friends came to visit either later that night or in the next two days while we were still in the hospital.
People visited us at home after a day or two and we had time to settle in.
Our families were not nearby at all (not even in the same country..) but, had they been, I would have wanted at least a couple of hours before having any visitors, no matter how my baby was born.
I would want lots of skin to skin and nursing, and time as a family before including anyone else.
Everyone was waiting when I got to my room from recovery after my c/s (which was unplanned). They brought in my son (he had to spend 2 hours in NICU since he was early & a GD baby, all was well).
And my husband made it VERY clear, no one was to touch him until I spent as much time with him as I wanted.
Set rules. You are the mommy, no one else. And I know my nurses are awesome & If I would have said, "I don't want anyone in the room when I get there." they would have forced everyone to the waiting room.
I felt comfortable with immediate family there right away but my family knew that if at anytime I felt uncomfortable with them there or was in a lot of pain and not up for visitors that I would ask them to leave and come back at a better time. They were prefectly fine with that.
I got a lot of skin to skin and nursing time in the recovery room so I was ok with family holding him once I got to my room. My parents brought in my daughter to the recovery room so she could see her brother right away.
Again, this was all fine with me because I felt really good. If I had felt crappy and out of it, I may have changed my mind. I would say see how you feel and let family know you may or may not need a lot of time to yourselves once you get to your room.
I had family visiting when I was in the recovery room, but that is also what I wanted. In addition, it was just my family since DH's lives halfway across the country, so I wasn't bombarded with a lot of people.
However, later on in the day, I did get overwhelmed with visitors. My mom decided to invite all of these people she knew and I was just exhausted and wanted to sleep. Looking back, I wish I would have just said the only visitors would be family. Everyone else will just have to wait. Next time, if there is one, we will limit the number of guests, but mostly I think my husband and I will have a code word for when I am done with visitors. He will know that means he needs to get everyone out so that I could rest.

There are ways parents can identify speech problems in their children, and specific steps that can be taken to address them. NY1's Jill Urban filed the following report.
Four year old Sabrina has been getting speech therapy for over two years. Around age two, her family sensed something wasn't right. "She was not speaking. She was only doing a little bit of babbling. She had no words," says her grandmother, Susan Antonellis. So they took her for an evaluation with at the Speech and Hearing Center at St. John's University, where she was diagnosed with speech delays. Director Dr. Donna Geffner says many parents don't know to seek help because they are not sure if it's a problem or just normal speech development.
"Children develop language in a very universal way. And all children all meet very similar developmental stages. For some children there may be some delay, but we always compare children to what their same age peers should be doing and what those millstones are," says Geffner.
Sometimes delays can be a result of oral motor issues, cognitive delay, or hearing issues.
Sometimes it runs in families or a child was premature and therefore behind the curve—there is a whole range of possibilities.
Whatever it is, she says there are signs to look for.
"The child is not developing words, the child is pointing instead of using words, the child may seem to not understand. A child may have trouble paying attention or maybe the child likes to play alone and not with other children," says Geffner.
If your child is already speaking, she says, common errors include the production of the letter r, s, l or difficulty blending the sounds in words.
Again, it's all related to peers of the same age.
If a you sense one of these red flags in your child, she recommends getting an evaluation with a speech pathologist and a hearing test. If diagnosed, play-based therapy can help train the child mentally or physically to form sounds and words correctly. Now for some kids speech therapy not only helps their speech, but it can also boosts their confidence, and can significantly enhance their social skills.
"Her confidence level has improved. She would never go up to children before or initiate any kind of play with them. Now she goes over and says ,"Hello, what's your name?" Antonellis says.
Dr. Geffner says if you are unsure, its best to get an evaluation.
If therapy is needed, the sooner the better, because the gap only widens as they get older.

Saad, Elsadig Mahdi Ahmed (2000) Experimental and Computational Crushing Behaviour of Laminated Composite Shells. PhD thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
This thesis presents the effect of structural geometry, reinforcement type and hybridisation on the crushing behaviour, energy absorption, failure mechanism and failure mode of cylindrical, conical and compound composite shell. The static crushing behaviour of cylindrical, conical and compound composite shell under uniform axial load has been investigated, experimentally, analytically and numerically. Four types of composites were tested, namely, carbon fibre/epoxy, glass fibre/epoxy, oil palm frond fibre/epoxy and the carbon-glass hybrid. This work also examines the effect of the residual stresses built on the crushing behaviour; energy absorption, failure mechanism and mode of failure of the filament wound laminated circular conical composite shell. For the circular cylindrical and conical shells, the cones vertex angles tested were 0, 6, 12,and ISO. Results for the glass/epoxy circular cylindrical shell show that the stress distribution is constant along the shell generator. On the other hand results for the glass/epoxy circular conical shells with vertex angles of 6, 12 and 18 degrees show that the stress distribution is sensitive along the shell generator. As the vertex angle increases, the average crushing load increases, while the initial failure load decreases. The compound shells used in this investigation were the cone-cone and conecylinder- cone intersection composite shells. For the cone-cone intersection shells, the cone vertex angles were 10°, 15°, 20° and 25°. While for the cone-cylinder-cone, the cone vertex angles are 10° and 15° and the cylindrical part lengths were varied between 0 and 50mm. The results showed that the initial failure was dominated by interfacial and shear failure, while the delamination and eventually fibre fracture dominated the failure mechanism after the initial first failure. For the circular cylindrical and conical shells, the proposed analytical solution well predicts the initial failure load for the circular cylindrical and conical laminated composite shells. The failure criteria used to predict the initial failure show an excellent agreement. For the cone-cone intersection composite shell, the results showed that the structures with vertex angles 20° and 25° exhibited good energy absorption capability. For the cone-cylinder-cone, numerical results show that high-localised stress has been concentrated at the junctions between the cylinder and cones. Experimental results showed that structures of cylindrical part length varies between 10 and 20mm exhibited good energy absorption capability and stands a very high crushing load.

|Study Abroad Programs
|Andy Schile, '2001 -- University of Westminster, London
I spent the spring semester of my junior year at the University of Westminster in central London. I was enrolled in the School of Biosciences, one of the many specialized schools that comprise the university. I took three biology courses (Principles of Pharmacology, Pathobiology and Microbiology & Immunology) and an introductory economics course. I was surprised at how light my workload was--my science classes had lab reports and essays spread fairly evenly throughout the semester, but the grade in my economics class was entirely based on the final exam! My classes met once a week for two to three hours and I only had classes three days each week. For a university of over 20,000 students, my classes were remarkably small. Also, I was surprised to see so many middle-aged and older students! Unfortunately, the labs were underfunded, but this was really just a minor annoyance.
Having so few obligations to my classes meant I had ample time to explore London, and anybody who's been there knows there's an awful lot to see and do. I lived in a flat right off Oxford Street in Soho, which is an exceedingly hip part of town with many, many bars, clubs and restaurants, as well as some of the best record stores in the world. I could walk anywhere within central London in less than twenty minutes: the Thames, British Museum, Regents Park, you name it. Even if my educational experience had been terrible, living in Soho would have made the trip worth doing just in itself.
Perhaps the best part of the whole semester was the three weeks I had off school for spring break. I had a 21-day Eurail pass I purchased before I came to London and I'm positive I got my money's worth--highlights of this trip included the French Riviera (where you can buy pooper scoopers in vending machines), Monaco (where you can buy bikini bottoms in vending machines) and Barcelona (where you can buy French Fries in vending machines). Basically I lived out of a backpack, slept in hostels, and generally smelled bad. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world! I had the opportunity to visit Paul, Ian & Mike in Budapest as well. Also, I took many trips in and around Great Britain, the most personally meaningful of which being a week spent in Scotland. I was born in Aberdeen, but my family moved to America when I was young--this was my first trip "home" in nearly twenty years!
It's hard for me to pinpoint what exactly made my time in London so indescribably memorable, but I'm certain it's all in the little things, like BBQ pork tarts from Kowloon's Bakery in Chinatown; hearing the record issued only to members of the Beatles' fan club at Christmas, 1963, at the British Library; meeting William H. Macy and Philip Baker Hall in Covent Garden; being on a first-name basis with the barstaff at Ben Crouch's Tavern; the Jazz Cafe; Selfridge's Food Hall; Old Brewery, Beamish Red & Greene King Triumph; the countless plates of chicken tikka marsala... The list could go on for pages.
The opportunity to go to England came at the perfect time because it allowed me to approach biology and the increasingly important ethical issues in the field from a completely different vantage point. The attitudes toward a biology education were quite different from those in the States, with an added emphasis on individual study and library research in place of problem sets. The classes were not as difficult as HMC classes, but I never once felt like I was falling behind since the courses I took covered material that's not explicitly offered at any of the 5 colleges.
I can't stress enough how truly rewarding this last semester was for me. I went into the program not knowing anybody else at the University, and I came out broke, but with new friends from around the world and about 500 photos. Anybody who's remotely interested in going abroad for whatever reason (personally, I was starting to feel burned out here) should go. I mean it! Go!
The University of Westminster offers classes in biology, computer science, engineering (to some extent) and math, and from what I understand they accept anybody who meets the admissions qualifications. You'll have to apply directly to the university and take a leave of absence since it's not part of an HMC-approved program.

"It is a privilege returning to my alma mater to help celebrate a momentous day for the graduating class of 2011," said Szymusiak. "When I think of my fond memories of Ancilla, I am just as appreciative today for a high quality education that is offered in our community. I tell people with pride that Ancilla was truly the cornerstone of my educational foundation."
A former junior high and high school teacher in the North Judson – San Pierre School District, Szymusiak has remained heavily involved in the Ancilla community alongside her husband, Jim. Both have spent numerous years helping with the PHJC Bazaar and attend mass on campus each Sunday. They also frequently visit many of the retired Poor Handmaids at Catherine's Cottage.
Szymusiak has managed to balance her professional and personal lives, successfully raising a family while overseeing a growing, nationally-renowned company.
"Ancilla College is excited to have one of its outstanding alums come back and deliver the 2011 Commencement Address," said Ancilla College President Dr. Ron May. "Mary Szymusiak is an example of what our alumni can do after graduating from Ancilla. In addition to serving as President and CEO of Tefft Bridge and Iron, she is deeply involved in community activities. She has found a way to balance her work, family, and community activities in a way that is reflective of the Poor Handmaid mission and values. I know our 2011 graduates will benefit from the wisdom she will share with them on May 7."
Ancilla College is a Catholic, two-year, co-educational, liberal arts college in Donaldson, Indiana sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.

I was looking for a golf net for the backyard. After reading some reviews on one that is in my price range I am having concerns of a ball going through the net. Does anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
I assume that simply hanging a sheet behind the net would suffice, but perhaps even using plastic balls or something of that nature. Any advice would be appreciated.

Book Review: Revenge Served Cold
By Sandy Amazeen May 25, 2010, 7:43 GMT
Kathy Spence awakens in the middle of the night and finds herself in a living nightmare. Her husband has been run down and she is the primary suspect. With an eyewitness to the crime and proof that her car was the murder weapon, it appears to be an open and shut case. Terrified for her future, Kathy turns to amateur sleuth Anne Marshall for help. Believing in Kathy s innocence, ...more
While in college Kathy Spence made a fateful decision that years later, would come back to haunt her. Happily to married law professor Elliot, Kathy suffers bouts of depression at her inability to have a baby. For his part, Elliot is supportive of Kathy but is perfectly content with just to two of them. Elliot is delighted when Ross, a former best friend from college got in touch years after a major falling out but something seems off during their quiet drink at the bar.
The night Elliot was meeting Ross, Kathy pushed past her fragile limits, crawled into a booze bottle and passed out only to be awakened later by the police. Elliot was killed in a hit and run accident with witnesses tying her vehicle to the crime and Kathy with no memory of the evening, it seems an open and shut case. Fortunately, Anne Marshall, a student of the late professor Elliot and amateur detective becomes convinced Kathy is the victim of a frame-up. What no one knows is that Anne isnt working alone; she has the assistance of her fathers ghost who manages to point the investigation in the right direction and protect his beloved daughter from a devious, cold-blooded killer.
The killers identity is no secret in this delightful tale that focuses more on relationships and consequences then maintaining suspense. An arguably weak point in the story is despite being a law student who knows better, Anne withholds evidence from the police and defense attorney but this doesnt take away from an entertaining, light mystery read.

My sister was wearing this when she came out to visit. I noticed her nails in sunlight and they were a gorgeous taupe with a slight hint of purple. After she left I was looking for this color locally. I finally bought it online. My sister and I have similar skin tone so it looked great on my nails. This is one of my favorites.

I thought this polish was kind of boring at first, but then I grew to love it. I bought it because I love Germany, especially Berlin! It is a lovely taupe color that matches everything and is conservative enough for almost any occasion. It applies easily, dries in a reasonable amount of time, and lasts for a long time.

I was initially hesitant about this color because grey and taupe aren't colors I usually wear on my nails and I wasn't sure this would be flattering on me - but I love it! It's very chic, very sophisticated.
The first coat looks more taupe but the second really brings out the grey, so I would describe it as a greyish-taupe. I've noticed that a lot of professional women are wearing this (or similar shades) this season; it's neutral without being boring, fashionable without being too trendy.
I love the play on the word Berlin in the name, since Berlin is a very sophisticated city and it suits this color perfectly.

This is a gray-taupe color that doesn't have shimmer. However, I don't really have anything else to say that hasn't already been said about it. I highly recommend this product!

As with most OPI polishes, this one was easy to apply with no streaking and a smooth, glossy finish. It was opaque in two coats and dried quickly. It deserves a 5 for quality and coverage, but I couldn't get past the color. When I had it on, it reminded me of the modeling clay I used in grade school; I simply couldn't get to the point where I liked it. If someone likes the color, it's a 5 all the way. It's gray that has a brownish cast in brighter indoor lighting; in the darker rooms it looked darker gray.

Berlin There Done That is a gorgeous grey-taupe colour from OPI's new Germany collection. After applying 2 coats, this nail polish was completely opaque. It is such a stunning colour for fall and it is definitely one of my new favourites along with OPI's Over the Taupe. I would definitely recommend this! The formula is long-lasting and not streaky at all. Great nail polish!

Love this beautiful greige shade! I love these kind of colors on my short nails. Looks so chic, IMO! The other reviewers are right that this is a chameleon-type shade. Sometimes it looks more brown, sometimes more purple. I've actually gotten a few compliments on this, and I can see why it would appeal to a wide range of people. Formula is great, easily opaque in two coats. Love the OPI brush too! I usually wear Essie or CG, so the pro-wide brush is a nice change.

Gosh, I love this color and I'm not sure how to even describe it. It's supposed a "mushroom taupe", which is... as good of my guess. At first glance, it's a medium, solid grey with subtle purple undertones. In really bright light it looks paler and milkier, while in warm light it pulls a bit more grey-brown. SUPER interesting color, despite being a creme with no shimmer in it. It's not dark enough to be classified as a vamp, and I think it's chic enough that it can be worn to work.
The formula is lovely, neither runny nor thick. It's a bit sheer with one coat (not streaky though), and perfectly opaque with two. As usual, the wide OPI brush was great and makes application very easy and swift. Wearing power is great, but that's the norm for an OPI creme. I personally like wearing a glitter over this polish to spice it up, but it wears well alone.

When I saw swatches online for the opi Germany collection, this is the shade I NEEDED for some odd reason! I received it this morning, and just applied it. Love the colour, levels out well and its a two coater for me. However I need to take off and reapply as my seche vite turned to glue and ruined the finish!

You might think that giving your four-legged friend all the leftovers that his heart desires will make him happier, but feeding him certain human foods can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, serious health issues — or even death.
Keeping chewing gum in your purse is not the best idea if you have a pup with a sweet tooth. Many sugar-free candies, sweets and mints contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that can be deadly for dogs. When ingested, xylitol causes a sudden release of insulin in a dog's body which leads to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Warning signs include vomiting, lethargy and trouble with coordination. If left untreated, xylitol toxicity can be fatal.
Chocolate contains both caffeine and a chemical called theobromine, both of which are toxic to dogs if eaten in large-enough quantities. Your dog will probably be fine if he accidentally eats a chocolate chip cookie, but depending on his size, chowing down on dark chocolate or baker's chocolate could cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid or irregular heartbeat, restlessness, muscle tremors, seizures or death.
Think grapes and raisins are healthy low-calorie snacks or treats for your dog? Think again. Whether they're plucked from a vine or sprinkled out of a box, grapes and raisins can cause acute (sudden) kidney failure in your canine. The signs of grape toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy.
No matter how much he begs, don't let your pet lick the remnants of a bowl of guacamole dip — the avocado is likely poisonous to dogs and cats and can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
It doesn't matter if they're minced, chopped, sliced, diced, cooked or powdered — garlic and onions contain chemicals that damage red blood cells in dogs and cats. The affected red blood cells can rupture or lose their ability to carry oxygen effectively, which could lead to life-threatening anemia. Make sure you read labels carefully, as many foods, such as meat-variety baby food, contain these dangerous ingredients. And don't even think about using garlic as a cure for fleas — it doesn't work and could be more harmful than helpful to your pet.
While they're an excellent source of vitamin E for humans, macadamia nuts can prove fatal for dogs. As few as 10 macadamia nuts can cause frightening symptoms in dogs, such as weakness, vomiting, tremors, and joint pain.

"These were very, very good, but flat. Fearful of over mixing (first time biscuit maker here), I barely touced the dough and those turned out nothing like the picture here.
