Inside Gaddafi's harem: Shocking book reveals depraved dictator's sexual abuse of schoolgirls he kept locked in basement below fortress
- Gaddafi chose schoolgirls and kept them as sex slaves, book claims
- French journalist Annick Cojean's investigation includes story of 'Soraya' who says she was locked up for five years and repeatedly raped
- Says male guards and boys were also raped by Muammar Gaddafi
- Book already a bestseller in French and now translated into English
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi ordered the kidnap of schoolgirls, who were kept as sex slaves, according to an investigation
Colonel Gaddafi ordered the kidnap of schoolgirls who were then kept as sex slaves at compound, according to a book on the dictator.
One girl, named Soraya, was kidnapped when she was 15 and held for five years in a basement at his six-mile long fortress just outside Tripoli.
She says she was violently raped, beaten and abused on an almost daily basis and saw similar abuse of other girls and boys.
Her story and those of others who say they were raped by the despot are told in the book Gaddafi's Harem: The Story Of A Young Woman And The Abuses Of Power In Libya by French Le Monde journalist Annick Cojean.
It has sold more than 100,000 copies since it was published in French last year and the English translation will be released next month.
The journalist says men and boys were also raped and Gaddafi also pursued celebrities and the wives of foreign dignitaries.
According to her investigation, Ms Cojean says the female bodyguards he famously surrounded himself with, were in fact mistresses with no weapons knowledge.
Ms Cojean investigated Gaddafi's abuses of power after meeting Soraya (whose name has been changed), who told her harrowing story.
While still at school in the coastal town of Sirte, Soraya was given the 'honour' of presenting a bouquet of flowers to Gaddafi during a visit in 2004.
The book features the Soraya's story, who says she was kept for five years in a basement at Gaddafi's huge Tripoli compound Bab al-Azizia (pictured being demolished after his death in 2011)
Annick Cojean claims Gaddafi's female bodyguards were made up of mistresses with no weapons training
After presenting the flowers, Gaddafi,
who had eight children, patted her head. She said this was a symbol to
his aids that he wanted her.
The following day she was summoned to his palatial six-mile long compound near Tripoli, Bab al-Azizia, where she was stripped, shaved and taken to Gaddafi.
She said he was lying naked on the bed and tried to rape her.
When she fought him off, Soraya was taken away by head of the harem Mabrouka for 'lessons'.
She is quoted in the book as saying: 'He grabbed my hand and forced me to sit next to him on the bed. I didn't dare look at him.
'He said, "Don't be afraid. I'm your papa. That's what you call me, isn't it? But I'm also your brother and your lover. I'm going to be all that for you. Because you are going to stay and live with me forever."'
Soraya said she was repeatedly raped by Gaddafi after he chose her at a visit to her school in Sirte (pictured)
The book has been translated into English after selling 100,000 copies since it was published in French
The schoolgirl was given porn to view and was made to watch Gaddafi have sex with other so she could 'learn'.
Boys and his male guards were also raped by the tyrant, according to the book.
Soraya was eventually allowed home in 2009 but she says she is a shame to her family because she had sex outside marriage.
She said she only felt free from Gaddafi after his death in 2011 at the end of the civil war.
The book features interviews with a woman who ferried the girls to Gaddafi's compound and other victims.
Ms Cojean also alleges Gaddafi, who was married to Safia Farkash, pursued students and the wives of foreign dignitaries.
Ms Cojean was quoted in the New York Daily News as writing: 'It was not so much about seducing a woman as, through her, humiliating the man who is supposed to be responsible for her.'
Female visitors were routinely subjected to blood tests by Gaddafi's nurses to make sure they were disease free in case he wanted to have sex with them.
Marie Colvin, the Sunday Times journalist killed in Syria in 2012, reported that a nurse had approached her with a needle when she was in Tripoli to interview Gaddafi. She declined to give blood.

- Introduction
- Ancient Latin literature
- Medieval Latin literature
- Renaissance Latin literature
The 9th to the 11th century
From the later 9th century on, the liturgy gave rise to two new literary forms: the sequence and the liturgical drama. Notker Balbulus, monk of St. Gall, was not the first to compose sequences, but his Liber hymnorum ("Book of Hymns"), begun about 860, is an integrated collection of texts that spans the whole of the church year in an ordered cycle. Performed between the biblical readings in the mass, each sequence is a free meditation upon scriptural themes, often drawing upon and synthesizing disparate texts. Among later exponents of the genre, Adam of St. Victor was the most distinguished, though the mystical sequences of Hildegard of Bingen exercise a potent appeal. During the same period the enormous expansion of the cult of the Virgin left a notable mark upon hymnody, the early 11th century seeing the composition of Marian hymns, including such ubiquitous texts as "Salve Regina" ("Hail, Queen") and "Alma Redemptoris Mater" ("Sweet Mother of the Redeemer").
Notker's sequences are alive with dramatic possibility, and at St. Gall the practice of troping, or embellishing, liturgical texts also took dramatic form. The Quem quaeritis trope from St. Martial, an abbey at Limoges, was one of the earliest such pieces to demand dramatic performance. From this beginning developed the long tradition of liturgical drama, which, like the sequence, is centred upon the major feasts of the church year.
Two narrative works stand out in this period. The Waltharius epic is set in the years of the invasions of Attila the Hun. The sophistication of its narrative technique contrasts with its Germanic subject matter. The Ruodlieb, a romance written perhaps in about 1050 in a language heavily influenced by vernacular usage, reveals a comparable narrative subtlety. Even in its fragmentary state, the variety and vigour of its episodes are apparent.
The ease with which religious forms such as the sequence are adapted for secular use is nowhere seen better than in the 11th-century compilation known as the Cambridge Songs. The blend of humorous contes, hymnody, and lyric testifies to a diverse taste in the unknown anthologist. Other lyric collections from the next century, such as the Ripoll and Arundel lyrics, may draw upon work of earlier provenance. To the chance survival of individual compilations such as these derives the bulk of knowledge of the secular lyric, which is one of the chief distinctions of the 12th and 13th centuries.

Hello.. im new to the group. My name is Summer and I have been an Army wife for 2 1/2 years. My husband came home for R&R in September and that is when we got pregnant.. He is in Afghanistan and will be comming home on March 2nd. Has anyone been through a deployment and pregnant before and how did the daddy react? Was he excited? Im having some issues and need advice...
dh deployed and prego??
Proud army wife to DH Kevin 8-28-06, DD Peyton 6-18-09, and 2nd June bug 6-9-10!!!!!

Mine got out of deployment somehow last time I was due which was nice. This time he isn't deployed just remote for a year in Korea but it sucks either way. Mine was home for 3 weeks too and thats when we got pregnant.
I don't feel sorry for myself, it has been almost a year so I get over it eventually but it sucks that he can't be here for all of the prenatal stuff. He went to every single appointment last time and that's what I hate. I don't like doing those things alone. I don't really have any experience other than what I am going through right now but I hope you get the answers you need :) Welcome!
Hi, I'm new to the group too. I'm in a similar situation. I'm four months along with our first, and my husband left today for a year long deployment in the big sandbox. We're hoping he'll be on R&R for it's birth. I'm not looking forward to going through the rest of this alone, but I'm thankful that we are being blessed with a child. Good luck to both of you.

Israeli strike kills 18, stirs debate over targets
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — The target was the Gaza police chief. He survived the Israeli airstrike on a cousin's home with critical injuries, but 18 family members were killed, including five children and teens.
The weekend attack highlighted Israel's broad definition of military targets in its current offensive against the Islamic militant group Hamas. The army says those targets include senior Hamas activists and their homes, even as it insists it is doing the utmost to spare bystanders by warning them to clear out.
However, the U.N. Office for Humanitarian Affairs said Sunday that civilians made up the majority of Palestinian casualties over the past six days — 133 of 168 killed and nearly half of more than 1,100 wounded. And a human-rights researcher said some of Israel's strikes appear to have violated rules of war.
The issue of Israel's targets cuts to the core of conflicting narratives.
Palestinians — and not just those loyal to Hamas — say Israel is punishing all of Gaza's 1.7 million people and is killing civilians with impunity. The situation in Gaza "has become unbearable," Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a longtime rival of Hamas, said Sunday.
Israel has portrayed its offensive against Hamas as self-defense, saying it is trying to halt the group's indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli communities. Gaza militants have fired more than 800 rockets over the past week, disrupting life in large parts of the country but so far causing no deaths, according to the Israeli military.
A senior army commander said Sunday that Israel is trying to cause maximum damage to Hamas, which seized Gaza in 2007 and seeks Israel's destruction. The military sometimes holds back because of concern for civilians, said the officer who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, citing military regulations.
"I could kill a lot more Hamas commanders, but the way I'm operating now is consistent with my values and my conscience," he said.
Trying to highlight its attempts to warn civilians, the military released a recording of a phone call to a resident in an area about to be targeted. The caller is heard saying he is speaking on behalf of the Israeli army.
"You speak Hebrew? Excellent," he says to the Palestinian on the other line — in Hebrew. He then urges residents to clear out because a house is about to be targeted. "In five minutes, we are bombing," the Israeli says.
Members of the extended family of Taysir al-Batsh, the police chief in Gaza, said they did not receive any call before Israel flattened the two-story home of one of the chief's cousins late Saturday, just as worshippers streamed out of a nearby mosque after evening prayers.
Al-Batsh was in stable condition Sunday at Gaza City's Shifa Hospital. Eighteen of his relatives were killed, said Dr. Ayman Sahabani at Shifa.
Among the dead were the owners of the home, Majed and Amal al-Batsh, their seven children ranging in age from 13 to 28, and a 2-year-old granddaughter, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights. Also among the dead were two more children, ages 7 and 12, and a 17-year-old from other branches of the clan.

First wave-powered boat makes history
Japanese master sailor and environmentalist Kenichi Horie finally arrived back in Japan after setting off back in March of this year, on a first-of-a-kind trans-Pacific voyage powered only by waves.
The 69-year-old solo yachtsman and his boat made from recycled materials embarked on the 3800nm trip from Honolulu bound for Japan, expecting to arrive 'sometime in May'. Well it took longer than he thought, but on July 4th, he did it, arriving at the port of Wakayama in the channel between Honshu and Shikoku Islands, just before midnight, thus becoming the first person in history to cross and ocean powered by wave power.
His 9.5m double-hull boat, made partly of recycled aluminum, named Suntory Mermaid II, was equipped with two special fins at the front that move like a dolphin's tail each time the boat rises or falls with the rhythm of the waves.
The theory said that that a vertical motion could drive the boat forward at a speed of three knots. In reality, he
only averaged 1.5 knots,
not the fastest way to travel, but it could spell the dawning of yet another innovative green way of transiting oceans.
"Throughout history, mankind has used wind for power, but no one has appeared to be serious about wave power," Mr. Horie said late last year.
"I think I'm a lucky boy as this wave power system has remained virtually untouched."
The 4,800-mile voyage, which began in Honolulu in March, ended when Kenichi Horie's three-ton yacht docked in Wakayama in western Japan last night.
"The sea was so calm, and the weather was so great throughout my journey. That's why it took me so long," he said
S/V Scheherazade
I had a dream, I was sailing, I was happy, I was even smiling. Then I looked down and saw that I was on a multi-hull and woke up suddenly in a cold sweat.

The pair, who everyone agrees were made for each other, were rent asunder after Right made a seemingly innocent excursion to the laundry basket two years ago but never returned. Although Left, his companion, initially took it in her stride, she later began to sense that something serious must be wrong. 'It wasn't like him,' she said. 'He'd never gone off without me before. Sure, we'd had our troubles, but we'd always managed to patch things up.'

Questionable $110M State Deals Bypassed Reviews (page 73864)
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — State officials say $110 million in no-bid health contracts that are now the focus of a criminal investigation bypassed two routine oversight boards for deals of that size.
The Austin American-Statesman reported Tuesday that the lucrative contracts with Austin-based 21CT skipped those reviews while avoiding a bidding process. The tech company was hired to help the Texas Health and Human Services Commission root out Medicaid fraud.
A spokeswoman for the state comptroller says it's unclear whether the bypassed reviews violated state law.
Two high-ranking state health officials resigned this month as scrutiny over the contracts intensified. Three others were sent home on paid administrative leave.
Public corruption prosecutors in Austin are preparing to open a case. Health Commissioner Kyle Janek has said he doesn't believe anyone acted illegally.

Khawaja S. Vohra, 63, of Ashburn, was arrested Dec. 18 and charged with taking indecent liberties with a child by a person in a custodial relationship and three counts of sexual battery of an adult student.
Vohra owns and operates the AALI Fastrack Driving School. According to a statement by the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, he has worked with students throughout the region.
The Sheriff's Office began its investigation in September after an 18-year-old reported that Vohra made inappropriate comments to her and touched her inappropriately during two driving lessons.
In October, detectives learned of a second juvenile victim.
Because of Vohra's position as a driving instructor, the Sheriff's Office are exploring the possibility of additional victims who have not come forward. Those with information regarding the case have been asked to contact Detective J. Cichoki at 703-737-8481 or the Criminal Investigations Division at 703-777-0475.
Vohra has been released on a $25,000 secured bond. He has been ordered by a magistrate to have no unsupervised contact of any kind with females under the age of 21.
Editor's Note: This story was updated at 6 p.m. on Dec. 19 after a revised bond amount was released.

In my last post I scored my 2010 cloud integration predictions. I'd say it was a solid B. While the spate of acquisitions in the market helped shine a light on the opportunity for data integration delivered as an on-demand service, I'd characterize 2010 as a year of line of business-driven cloud integration adoption. My prediction is that 2011 will be the year of "hybrid everything" and IT organizations will be reorganizing and realigning to adapt to the new realities of cloud computing. Here are my 2011 cloud integration predictions.
Cloud Adoption Drives Two-Tier Cloud Integration Strategies
In 2011, enterprise IT organizations will adopt a two-tier cloud integration strategy that is aligned with their corporate data integration standard. Many less complex, often point-to-point, data integration use cases (migration, synchronization, replication, cleansing, etc.) will be managed directly by cloud application administrators, analysts and operations users who need easy-to-use, agile tools and templates. These cloud-based integration services must provide interoperability with the corporate standard in order to eliminate "rogue" approaches (including hand coding) that are unable to scale and grow with the business. The right two-tier cloud integration strategy is not something that tier-two technologies will be able to support and manage.
LOB-Driven Cloud Integration Projects Lead to Strategic MDM Initiatives
The majority of cloud data integration implementations in the enterprise have been what my friends at Appirio refer to as "cloud to ground," or cloud application to on-premise application, database or file integration. A primary use case is customer, product, price book, etc. master data synchronization between systems (for example, CRM and ERP). In 2011, more and more enterprise sales and marketing operations mangers will be looking to go beyond CRM "endpoint" integration, working with IT to identify equally flexible approaches to Master Data Management (MDM) that will leverage their current cloud integration investments.
The Rise of the Cloud Integration Platform
I agree with what Alex Williams of ReadWriteWeb refers to as a "proliferation of APIs" in 2011. The result will be an increased need for cloud-based platforms that can handle process-centric, real-time and batch data integration requirements. An increasing number of software and data as a service (SaaS and DaaS) providers will opt to embed cloud integration platforms into their solutions instead of attempting to "roll their own". A key requirement for the cloud integration platform will be support for hybrid deployments (see Chris Boorman's predictions from the world of data integration). By Dreamforce 2011, there will also be much more discussion about MDM in the cloud and the role it will play in a hybrid cloud integration platform.
Enterprise Database.com Adoption
Speaking of Dreamforce, this year salesforce.com introduced Database.com (see my post about it here). Initial adoption will likely be driven by mobile and cloud application developers, but by the end of 2011 we'll see significant enterprise Database.com adoption. I'm not suggesting we'll see massive "rip and replace," but I do believe that departments and divisions in particular will understand and take advantage of the benefits of Database.com versus resource-intensive, on-premise, often open-source alternatives. Of course, Database.com migration will require easy-to-use cloud-based integration services that will also be able to provide the ability to keep data synchronized between systems.
Private Cloud Confusion Continues
When it comes to infrastructure-as–a-service (both public and private) I don't see things getting, uh, less cloudy (pun intended) in 2011. In a post about Larry Ellison's Elastic Cloud and Marc Benioff's False Cloud, Forrester's Stefan Ried outlined how "private cloud differentiates itself from a traditional but modern and virtualized data center." For most, this distinction will remain unclear in 2011. In fact, I predict that we'll see even more terminology confusion and "cloud washing" in anticipation of what Chirag Mehta and R "Ray" Wang call "cloud mega stacks," which won't become a reality until 2012.
Those are my predictions. Think I'll score an A next year? I hope all of your clouds will be connected in 2012. Happy New Year!

Hi Mammas, I am hoping that you can help me. I would describe myself as Waldorf Curious, and I'm looking for recommendations for sources of information to help me see if Waldorf is a fit for my family.
I've read "Simplicity Parenting" (which I know isn't Waldorf, but I *think* that his advice ties in nicely with the Waldorf philosophy/ideas) and a lot of what the book talks about speaks to me, and is a lifestyle that I'd like to try to impliment in my own home. DS is young enought (17 mos) that the transition shouldn't be as hard as if we had older kids (at least not for him). Even before reading his book DH and I both were on board with the "limit TV", "limit toys", "encourage imagination in play" type philosophy.
Anyway, I've tried to do some research on Waldorf on my own, but the public library where I live is lacking in this department. I've had coffee with a wonderful woman who used to teach at the Waldorf school in our city and this made me feel more strongly that Waldorf may be a fit for us. DH wants to do his own research but is at least on board with thinking about this and so far is loving the CDs I bought of a lecture of Kim John Payne talking about his "simplification" philosophy.
So I guess what I am looking for is ideas for how to make our lives and our home more "Waldorf Friendly" and if you can give me a better sense of what this means day to day. Many of the articles that I've found on-line are fairly "academic" and I don't understand them at this point.
Can you help me out?
The author, Kim John Payne, actually works with Waldorf schools and families quite extensively. Our own Waldorf school is hoping to raise money to fund his return visit.
As far as a day to day sense of what is "Waldorf friendly"... This is a great article from WECAN (Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America) These are some books that I recommend at this point since your son is only 17 months. These are usually easy to find used or fairly cheap on Amazon etc. Later on, you can start reading more about Waldorf education for grades.

Try http://www.whywaldorfworks.org/ as a starting point.
Visit a Waldorf school near you. If there isn't one near you, make the trek to visit one anyway, just to taste the atmosphere.
Find a Waldorf parent somewhere, and talk to them. Don't forget to talk to the alumni: they are amazing young men and women who know who they are, and are thoughtful and articulate. They are unafraid: of new ideas, of finding their own path, of tackling practical things. Most of them know how to knit, sew, do woodworking - both boys and girls.
Home stuff: here is a typically Waldorf approach to toys: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/tag/5-best-toys-of-all-time/ (yes: Wired.com. And yes: "geekdad". It's hilarious). You've already got the "not too many toys". We don't do the wood-only route: Legos are so much fun! But our art supplies are artist quality. And as tightfisted as I am with toys, I don't hold back when it comes to outdoor clothing: they have all the "technical" stuff: wool underwear, waterproof down coats, Goretex boots, blah blah. Oh, and for myself also. So that we can be outside for hours, no matter what the weather. And we're big on rhythm, which involves a LOT of sleep. My good friend does it a step farther, and I tell you, her children are NEVER sick. Well, you know, hardly ever.
I could go on for hours, but unfortunately it's time for our solstice walk. Keep reading, keep learning, I hope you will find yourself and your children at a Waldorf school some day!
"You Are Your Child's First Teacher"
http://theparentingpassageway.com/ is a great Waldorf blog that is broken up into easy to digest tidbits. She goes into the technical aspects of Waldorf w/out being overwhelming. Articles are broken down by age, which I found to be most helpful.
It's probably ill timing with the winter holidays, but LESS really IS more!!!! I have three small children and we have way less toys than most people we know and my kids are NEVER bored. They are constantly making up games and playing with their open-ended toys in different ways. We got into Waldorf when our oldest was nine months old and have seen nothing but benefits for our family since.
All of the books mentioned are great and I second the recommendation to spend toy money on outdoor gear. $30 rain pants that allow your toddler to go outside every rainy day are a much better investment than a push-button toy. They are even better than a $30 "Waldorf" toy ;)

Photo gallery: The Australian way of eldercare
Published on Nov 11, 2012 4:40 PM
If residents in some eldercare facilities in Australia want to cook or take walks by themselves, they are allowed to do so.
Facilities Down Under also try to emulate the look of a person's domestic home rather than sport an institutional ambience.
These ideas are among the takeaways Minister of State for Health Dr Amy Khor came away with when she visited a couple of eldercare facilities last month while in Sydney for a malaria conference.


text: The Yukiko Amagi wiki last edited by FoxxFireArt on 05/03/13 02:09PM View full history OriginCreationPersona 4 PS2 (Jul 2008)Yukiko Amagi (天城 雪子, Amagi Yukiko) is a main character from the Shin Megami Tensei series of games and specifically the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 video game for the Playstation 2.

Crimea, a strategic Black Sea peninsula handed to Ukraine by a Soviet leader 60 years ago is now the epicentre of a crisis that pits Russia against the West.
The scenic vacation spot hosts Russia's Black Sea fleet and is home to many ethnic Russians wary of Ukraine's new leaders in Kiev.
Crimean tensions boiled over after Russian-leaning president Viktor Yanukovych was ousted last month. Regional officials have declared independence and called a referendum to confirm secession and annexation to Russia on Sunday.
Nikita Krushchev's gift
The territory, about the size of Belgium, is an agricultural region with vast vineyards and tobacco plantations. Crimea also draws tourists with its subtropical climate and seaside resorts.
Its history is marked by invasion and occupation, with Huns, Venetians, Byzantine Greeks and Ottoman Turks controlling its seaside cliffs and rich farmland over the centuries.
Moscow's reign began in the 18th century, when the Black Sea Fleet dropped anchor in 1783 in what is today the southern city of Sevastopol. Russia's rule was briefly interrupted by occupying German troops during World War II.
In May 1944, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin deported Muslim Tatars from Crimea, where they had lived for centuries, to Central Asia on charges of having collaborated with the Nazis.
Allied leaders chose the Crimean resort of Yalta in February 1945 to decide what Europe would look like after the war.
In 1954, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev transferred Crimea as a "gift" to Ukraine, a largely symbolic move because both Ukraine and Russia were Soviet republics.
But when the USSR collapsed in 1991, one of Moscow's biggest fleets was moored in a newly independent country.
Exiled Tatars began trickling back, and made up about 12% of the population in a 2001 census. They generally backed recent demonstrations in Kiev that called for closer relations with western Europe.
Ethnic Russians accounted for a bit more than 58%, while ethnic Ukrainians were at 24%.
Russia's Black Sea gate
The presence of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol has undermined relations between Ukraine and Russia.
The port provides Moscow with quick, ice-free access to the Mediterranean, Balkans and Middle East.
In 2010, Ukraine extended Moscow's lease on the port to 2042 in exchange for a 30-percent cut in the price of Russian gas on which Ukraine depends.
But Moscow remained wary about its reliance on Kiev and began building a new base on its own coast at Novorossiysk.
Meanwhile, on February 27, pro-Russian gunmen seized the parliament and government buildings in the regional capital Simferopol, raising the Russian flag.
Since then, troops bearing sophisticated weapons issued to Russian special forces have surrounded Ukrainian military installations and demanded they be turned over.
On March 11, regional officials adopted a "declaration of independence" backed by Moscow but deemed illegitimate by Western countries.

The History of Canton, Baltimore
By Kyle Leslie
Have you ever wondered how the neighborhood of Canton was given its name?
The first ethnic Chinese to set foot in the U.S. right here in Baltimore's Harbor in 1785 when John O'Donnell, an Irish merchant, landed his ship, the Pallas, in Baltimore Harbor in the newly independent United States on August 12, 1785. Dr. Evan Dawley an Assistant Professor of History at Goucher College tells us more about the world-traveler who gave name to an iconic East Baltimore neighborhood and the contribution his family made to establishing Baltimore as a leading hub for trade.

Hollywood actor Julia Roberts, who won an Academy Award for her role in the film Erin Brockovich, is now in India to shoot for her new movie Eat, Pray, Love, which is based on author Elizabeth Gilbert's memoirs of the same name.
The actor arrived here with her children on Thursday after completing a shooting stint in Italy for the film.
The Pataudi Palace hotel in Gurgaon, where Ms. Roberts is staying, has bookings for the actor from September 12 to October 8. She is staying in a Nafees Manzil room in the hotel, informed sources said.
Gurgaon Police Commissioner S.S. Deswal said: "She is secure. We will provide adequate security to her as per her shooting schedule."
The shooting schedule is likely to begin on Sunday in and around the Pataudi Palace. Some scenes will be shot at Ashram Hari Mandir at Pataudi near Gurgaon on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway.
The movie, a Brad Pitt production and directed by Ryan Murphy, features Ms. Roberts in the role of Elizabeth Gilbert, who gives up her home near New York, a comfortable life and a husband when she realises that she is unhappy with life. Her quest for peace and love takes her to Italy, India and Indonesia.
The movie is expected to be released in theatres in 2011. Other member of the cast include Oscar winner Javier Bardem, Billy Crudup and Richard Jenkins. Some of the Indian crew of Slumdog Millionaire will also help in the Indian leg of the shooting.
Keywords: Julia Roberts, cinema, Hollywood
