Is there a huge list somewhere of places and times when we can get autographs from the characters? thanks
If there isn't we need to get one. I think it's on the list of things we still need to do.
If there's a particular character you are after, if you go to Guest Services inside a park they can find out for you where and when they will be appearing.
Times vary, so you'll need to check the daily park schedules and ask at Guest Services.
Characters are based on availability, so not all may be out at the same time or on the same day. I'm not into the character photos/autographs, so the information is a bit sketchy based on what I've seen in passing.
Here's the beginning of a list. Please add to it!
Magic Kingdom
ToonTown: Disney princesses, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy
Frontierland (near parade entrance/exit gate): Woody, Jessie and other Toy Story characters
Disney Hollywood Studios
In the vicinity of the Sorcerer's hat: Mary Poppins, Bert
Okay, the brain isn't quite in gear yet.
Run with it, please!

Christmas Church
I have a peek today of one of the two new sets coming on December 1 from Our Daily Bread Designs. This beautiful Christmas church scene is from the set Worship the Lord, which also has two sentiments and a Scripture stamp. I adore the tranquility of the scene and plan on making a few extras to use as Christmas cards this year. Don't worry - these will go to other artistic types!
I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with a combination of an aqua painter with re-inkers and markers. I sponged some extra ink on the sky using Bordering Blue ink. The snow is a combination of liquid applique, Frosted Lace Stickles, and a Sakura stardust gel pen. I cut the image panel using Stampin' Up's Top Note Sizzix die, then hand-cut a Chocolate Chip mat. The designer papers are from the Frost Collection by Memory Box. I used the Stampin' Up curvy label punch to create the white scalloped trim around the background panel.
Here's a detail shot of some of that sparkle:
Thanks for stopping by!

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Immersion Program Credo: It's Never Too Early
Article excerpt
At first glance, Lyse Stevens's class seems like an ordinary group of good-natured fourth-graders in a public school.
But if you ask, "May I please have a pencil?" you'll get a quizzical look.
Here, it's, "Avez-vous un crayon, s'il vous plait?" This is not just any French lesson for nine-year-olds. The Gallic language is the only means of communication at this elementary school. Total-immersion schools take the view that when it comes to learning language, you can't start too early. The approach holds that students will become naturally bilingual if they are taught the elementary-school curriculum in a target language - be it French, Spanish, Japanese, or German - and English is phased in as just one subject of the curriculum. Here at the Cunningham Elementary School in Milton, Mass., students in Grades 1 and 2 are taught only in French. In Grades 3 and 4, they are taught half the time in French and half in English. In Grades 5 and 6, it's 30 percent French, 70 percent English. "The real amazing part is in the third grade," says principal Mary Gormley. "That's when they transfer skills of learning French to English." At first, third-grade students have English grammar and spelling hurdles to overcome - they may apply French rules, for example - but they get "up to snuff" rapidly, teachers report. The first public-school immersion program in the US was founded in 1971 in Culver City, Calif., with a Spanish curriculum. Today, there are more than 180 programs across the country, and immersion is considered the best model for teaching language proficiency. "During the last 10 years, immersion schools have flourished," says Martha Abbott, foreign-language coordinator for the Fairfax County, Va., public schools, which have "partial immersion" in 13 of 140 elementary schools. "This is a program parents are really asking for." "It's a challenging program to implement, and the teachers work really hard," says Ms. Abbott, "but you have to ask 'Is our school meeting the needs of kids for the future?' Few people would argue the importance of language." Critics of immersion question its value, and, more often, the process. Some raise concerns over possible "confusion" between two languages and wonder how students could learn as much in a foreign language as in their own. …

Thanks for that. Both are now fixed. I made the farm bigger must have missed the event inside the shop. If anybody else experiences errors please let me know.

Paranormal team investigates Oklahoma State University's Old Central
STILLWATER — Anyone who walks through Old Central at Oklahoma State University is bound to hear a few creaks and groans.
In any building upward of 100 years old, that's to be expected.
But some say something more than age is behind the strange noises in the building.
"There definitely seems to be some type of activity there," said Tanya McCoy, a paranormal investigator.
McCoy is the founder of D.U.S.T. Paranormal, a Yukon-based ghost investigation team. The team toured the 118-year-old OSU landmark recently.
Old Central, a red brick building on the south end of OSU's campus, was the first building at the university, then called Oklahoma A&M College. Today, it houses the university's Honors College. In 2009, the university launched a two-year, $8 million renovation project to bring the building up to code. Before that, it had been used as a higher education museum since the 1970s.
Jamie McGuckin, a member of the paranormal group, said there had been stories on campus about people hearing unexplained noises, like footsteps, in the building. Staffers at the Daily O'Collegian, OSU's student newspaper, asked the group to investigate.
The group took readings in the building using temperature guns, motion sensors and video cameras. When they began to review the evidence they'd collected, McGuckin said, they noticed a few details that led them to believe something out of the ordinary might be in the building.
When McGuckin reviewed a video of team member John Tapley sitting at a desk that belonged to the first U.S. district attorney in the Oklahoma Territory, he noticed what he called a "light anomaly" — an orb of light — passing in front of Tapley's face. Although the orb wasn't visible to the naked eye, Tapley's eyes seemed to follow it on video, McGuckin said.
In another video taken in the building's basement, a shadow appears to walk in front of a row of chairs, McGuckin said.
Old Central is no stranger to ghost stories and other campus lore. The night watchman's room is said to be haunted by the specter of a guard who hung himself from the rafters. There's no record of the suicide, but it remains a popular story.
A team of ghost investigators from Oklahoma City explored the building in 2005 and found an unexplained cold spot in one classroom and reported hearing faint whispering in the hallways.
Kchris Griffin, a Daily O'Collegian reporter who arranged last week's investigation, accompanied the team on their tour of Old Central. Griffin said he noticed strange things during the tour.
Temperatures in the building fluctuated without explanation, he said, and his video camera shut off without warning with half its battery life remaining.
"I was pretty spooked," he said.
Colleges often carry rich treasuries of campus traditions and legend, including ghost stories. OSU is no different, said Bonnie Cain-Wood, a spokeswoman for the university's Edmon Low Library.
The library is home to so many stories that staffers began cataloging the tales over the past few years, she said. In one story, library visitors report seeing a red-haired woman who disappears moments later.
The stories tend to vary from one year to the next, she said. One year, they may take place in the basement, and the next year, students tell of the same story taking place on the second floor.
She's never heard of anyone who's actually seen a ghost, she said — everyone seems to hear the story secondhand.
"Everyone knows someone who has a ghost story about the library," she said.

I was going through yesterday's New York Times and I came across an article about the fall off in attendance at state fairs throughout the country. I was astonished to come across a picture of a 9-year old girl eating a deep-fried Twinkie. This has got to take junk food to the ultimate extreme. I mean, a Twinkie is bad enough, but a Twinkie deep fried? In order for it to last the duration of the fair, I'm sure the oil in the fryolater contains a pretty good percentage of trans fats, which, combined with the sugar (HFCS) and trans fats already in the Twinkie, make the combination a powerful means to drive said trans fats into all the tissues. Is it any wonder that we're all fat? What is the next vile thing someone is going to come up with to sabotage health? Maybe the ultimate would be sugar mixed with high-fructose corn syrup, rolled into balls, then deep fried. It could make someone a fortune. God help us all.

Here are some of the week's top stories and news you may have missed:
Clark County could allow employees to carry guns
In the wake of a workplace shooting at the Center for Community Health earlier in the month, Clark County commissioners are directing their legal staff to draft a new policy allowing county employees to carry concealed weapons.
Commissioners Tom Mielke and David Madore on Wednesday requested that Chris Horne, the county's chief civil deputy prosecutor, investigate what revisions could be made to the county's workplace violence policy to allow employees to carry concealed firearms. Commissioner Steve Stuart was absent from the meeting.
The county's current policy prohibits employees from bringing concealed firearms at work, even if they have a permit to do so. Other people, including elected officials and the public, are exempt from the policy and may bring weapons into some county buildings.
New language would address those discrepancies, the two commissioners said, and allow employees to properly defend themselves while on the job. Mielke and Madore say loosening the county's prohibition on employees carrying concealed guns would deter future acts of workplace violence and ensure equal rights.

Steakburger site to be redeveloped
Plans are moving forward for a summer start to demolish and redevelop the iconic Steakburger restaurant site and its adjoining miniature golf course.
The work will be part of several projects that make up a two-block makeover to construct four new commercial buildings, rebuild the McDonald's restaurant, add a new Dutch Bros. Coffee kiosk and replace a building with a Fred Meyer fueling station.
The new developments are earmarked for a swath of property wedged between Interstate 5 and Northeast Highway 99 from 71st to 73rd streets. The old Steakburger venue will be replaced by a $5 million project that includes the four buildings, two of which will be drive-through restaurants, said Mike Jenkins, of Vancouver-based MAJ Development Corp., the project's developer.
He credited the county's 100 percent waiver of traffic impact and permitting fees for making the project pencil out. The measure saved him about $1 million in county fees, said Jenkins, who expects to start demolishing the Steakburger in June.

Former juvenile detention center teacher remembered
Good teachers not only teach, they inspire their students to push themselves to reach their potential. When the students are juvenile delinquents and the classroom is at the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center, the ripples of influence can be profound, turning lives around and reaching across decades and even generations.
William Alverett Andrews, known to his incarcerated students as "Mr. A," had that kind of far-reaching influence. Andrews died Jan. 30 at age 76, leaving behind a legacy of hope and changed lives.
"There are very few people in your life you can look back on and say, 'Wow! He really changed me. He really made a difference,'" said Kathleen Bowers, 41, who was in juvenile detention at age 14 for shoplifting and running away from home.
"Mr. A. never judged anybody for what crime you were in there for," Bowers said. "He'd shake your hand and say, 'Welcome to the university.'"

'Incredible' fall chinook run forecast for Columbia
A fall chinook run for the record books — 1.6 million salmon, the largest since counting began at Bonneville Dam — is forecast for the Columbia River in 2014.
State, federal and tribal biologists are predicting 1,602,900 fall chinook are headed for the Columbia, 26 percent better than the unexpected high of 1.26 million of 2013.
"If there is ever a year folks want to take time off and catch fish, this would be the year," said Robert Moxley, a member of the bistate Columbia River Recreational Adviser Group. "I'm more excited than you can possibly imagine."
The fall chinook forecast comes on the heels of a prediction for a huge run of 964,000 coho salmon destined for the Columbia River.

High-speed chase through county ends in Vancouver
A high-speed chase that started in the Salmon Creek area ended with a crash in Vancouver's Uptown Village Wednesday. The suspect then fled on foot but was met with a police Taser and a bystander wielding a skateboard.
The chase began after a report of a disturbance and death threats at 2:48 p.m. in the 2400 block of Northeast 129th Street in Salmon Creek. Detectives are still pinpointing the suspect's exact route, but the police pursuit appeared to begin near Northeast 50th Avenue and Salmon Creek Street by Washington State University Vancouver.
Deputies reported a red pickup hurtling down Northeast 50th Avenue. The fleeing pickup swerved into oncoming lanes and nearly struck a school bus as it fled from deputies on a route that took it south at speeds of 90-95 mph, according to radio traffic.
The chase moved onto St. Johns Road through Vancouver's Minnehaha neighborhood and eventually passed over state Highway 500 and into the Rose Village neighborhood before reaching Fourth Plain Boulevard.
The driver eluded officers after turning west on Fourth Plain but drew attention moments later when his pickup collided with a black Jeep at the intersection of Fourth Plain and Broadway at about 3:13 p.m.

It seems property renovation projects rarely run smoothly — even for TV expert Sarah Beeny.

The ambitious restoration project had previously put off many buyers except the Property Ladder presenter. However, when...Read more

On Monday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees posted a message on Twitter that compared the current bounty scandal to the Iraq war when the U.S. claimed there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but they ended up being wrong. It looks like after listening to responses from numerous people, he realized it wasn't the best thing the say.
Brees took some time out of his day on Tuesday to apologize for his now famous WMD comment.
I apologize if the WMD comment offended anyone. Especially our military. There is no one I respect more than our service men and women
— Drew Brees (@drewbrees) June 19, 2012
There's no question that the comment Brees made yesterday was dumb. Right now it would be better for him and the current and former Saints players that are involved in the scandal to remain quiet.

The Better Business Bureau of Acadiana is warning local residents to beware IRS tax season schemes operating in the Acadiana area.
The BBB has received several calls over the last few days from concerned residents inquiring about emails, phone calls and faxes claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service promising them large returns or promises of money owed them from prior tax years.
These are actually phony refund "phishing" scams that use the Internal Revenue Service name to try to steal your personal identity and financial information.
Anyone receiving faxes is asked to either disregard and dispose of them or forward them to the BBB of Acadiana.
As for the phone and email scams, they are effective because they direct residents to a web address looks like a legitimate government website, but instead, you are bounced to a scammer's look-alike website.
Scam phone calls tell consumers they are entitled to a refund, but they must first pay money in order to have their returns amended, then ask or credit card or banking information.
Consumers receiving these emails are asked to copy and paste a URL website address into your browser to make your refund claim, or click on a link.
Consumers directed to the fake IRS sites are asked to submit information, such as Social Security and credit card numbers in order to make a tax refund claim on the bogus IRS website.
According to the IRS, there are websites in at least 20 different countries hosting multiple variations of this popular identity theft scheme.
Quick Tip-Offs to the Scam:
· The IRS does not use email for correspondence with taxpayers about refunds.
· The IRS reports that it does not ask for personal identity or financial information by unsolicited email.
Other current IRS scam emails or faxes may claim that you can get $80 by filling out a customer satisfaction survey for the IRS. The survey asks for personal identity and financial information, which is then used for identity theft.
Scare versions of the scam ask the recipient to respond to an IRS "investigation" about some kind of tax fraud that he or she supposedly committed. The victim is asked to click on a link to learn more. This may download a "Trojan Horse" virus, allowing a stranger to gain remote access to your computer.
The BBB of Acadiana offers the following tips to help avoid this and other IRS scams:
The BBB of Acadiana works for a trustworthy marketplace by maintaining standards for truthful advertising, investigating and exposing fraud against consumers and businesses. Please contact the BBB at www.acadiana.bbb.org or (337) 981-3497 24 hours a day for information on businesses throughout North America.
The BBB of Acadiana services the parishes of Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Martin, St. Landry and Vermilion.
Acadiana residents can now have BBB information in the palm of their hand with the official BBB Search app, a convenient, mobile BBB solution available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The app can be found at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bbb-search-find-local-businesses/id440014505?mt=8.

This round is focused on near deployable ideas that turn carbon waste into a valued resource. Winners will receive up to CAD$3 million in funding to commercialize their technology in Alberta. Apply now by following the steps below.
- The solution to the world's carbon challenge seems daunting; as the world grows, so does the demand for fossil fuels. The time for creative solutions is now. This Alberta initiative supports bold ideas from around the world that will make significant and verifiable GHG reductions. We're committing CAD$35 million in funding for the most innovative technologies that will convert CO2 emissions into new carbon-based products and markets.
- Nations around the globe have been working to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One way to achieve this is through the development of new technologies. The CCEMC is reaching out to the world for bold ideas that will make significant and verifiable GHG reductions by converting CO2 emissions into new carbon-based products and markets.
- This CAD$35 million, multi-stage event reduces GHG emissions by supporting innovative technologies that convert carbon into useful products. In the first stage, the CCEMC awarded $12 million through 24 $500,000 grants.
Step 1 About the Grand Challenge
This CAD$35 million multi-stage Challenge seeks a net reduction of green house gases (GHGs) of at least 1 megatonne annually through technologies that convert GHG emissions into valuable carbon-based products.

Brand new details have arisen regarding Killzone 2's online multiplayer, which, judging from these facts, looks to be quite deep.
A new badge system will allow users to mix and match abilities into primary and secondary spots to complement their play style. This keeps multiplayer fresh without having to adhere to a rigid class system. The primary badge defines the main role of the player character, as well as its outward appearance, while the secondary badge serves as a complementary ability that enhances the main role.
Here's the entire list of all Killzone 2 badges.
The default multiplayer character is assigned when no primary badge is selected. A secondary badge may still be added. Riflemen can start with most weapons, except for the specialized ones.
Primary badge ability - Sets up an automated turret which targets the enemy
Secondary badge ability - Repairs ammunition dispensers, mounted guns, and automated turrets
Primary badge ability - Revives downed team mates
Secondary badge ability - Throws a health pack, which can be picked up by other players
Primary badge ability - Uses a cloaking suit to become near-invisible
Secondary badge ability - Tags all on-screen enemy players with a hidden marker, which broadcasts their coordinates to team mates
Primary badge ability - Dons heavy armor twice as strong as normal
Secondary badge ability - Temporarily boosts running speed
Primary badge ability - Throws a coloured smoke grenade, which serves as a spawn point
Secondary badge ability - Requests air support from a sentry bot which targets the enemy
Primary badge ability - Assumes the disguise of a randomly selected enemy player
Secondary badge ability - Throws a sticky, proximity-activated C-4 charge
Killzone 2 badge system unveiled, detailed
Brand new details have arisen regarding Killzone 2's online multiplayer, which, judging from these facts, looks to be quite deep.

"During his days as Harvard's influential president, Dr. Charles W.

Publisher P. F. Collier and Son loved the idea and asked Eliot to compile and edit the right collection of works.

Additional Information
About AFODENICThis loan is administered by AFODENIC, La Asociación para el Fomento al Desarrollo Nicaragua, a Kiva Field Partner based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded in 1999, AFODENIC was created to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of sectors that are excluded from commercial banking. Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas. AFODENIC is a socially responsible institution engaged in society and making a positive impact on its professional partners and communities.
Supporting a borrower through AFODENIC contributes to the pursuit of innovation in mitigating poverty in Nicaragua. Visit AFODENIC's partner page for more information.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

OU teammates see a big year from Frank Alexander
NORMAN—Frank Alexander is ready. Senior offensive lineman Trent Williams sees it. So does the man he lines up alongside, Gerald McCoy. Linebacker Travis Lewis can't help but see it, lined up behind two of the best defensive linemen in the Big 12. Alexander, though, isn't so sure about all the compliments coming his way. Of course, no one's going to complain about a little modesty. "I knew Frank was good," McCoy said. "Frank just needed a shot, and they gave Frank that shot and he did his thing." If Alexander's thing is recording 15 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his final three starts of 2008, three of his team's biggest games, the Sooners should expect even bigger things from his second season on the field. Alexander's output as a freshman surpassed McCoy's first season, when McCoy earned Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year honors. More impressive is Alexander doing it in only nine games, after he was stabbed in his right arm during a nightclub incident that cost him five games. "Last year, he left a lot of sacks on the field," Williams said, pointing out the number of times he slipped past the offensive line far outnumbered his sack total. Check back in October to see if those sacks find their way into Alexander's stat line this season. "I've grown a little bit," Alexander said. "I feel like now is the time. I know I've got a lot to work on." Complicating Alexander's rise is one glaring detail: he isn't the starter. A sprained Auston English knee gave Alexander the opportunity to start as a freshman late in the season, but the All-Big 12 defensive end enters his senior season back atop the depth chart. "I look up to Auston, because me and him are basically in the same situation," Alexander said. "We had a crutch, and we got back up and went from there." Whatever Alexander's role becomes, McCoy says it doesn't matter. Alexander will see the field, and when he does, he'll make an impact on a defensive line that's among the most talented and deep in college football. Whether that impact comes as a starter or a reserve is irrelevant. "When you have to double team one or two of our defensive linemen, it makes our job extremely easy," said Lewis, who led Oklahoma with 144 tackles in 2008. "You guys see the tackles we make, but you don't see what happens up front." Alexander says he's lost a few pounds in the offseason and is down to a more toned 252 pounds filling out his 6-foot, 4-inch frame. Last season, he learned how unpredictable the future could be. He's hesitant to forecast what his sophomore season will bring. Not everyone is quite so coy. "He could do bigger than I did," McCoy said. Text "Sooners" to 65360 today for your chance to win 2 tickets to OU vs. BYU in Dallas, Sept. 5.

The phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) serve as some of the best predictors of mid-range climate conditions. This web application provides a tool to explore the interactions of the two oscillations and how they impact Montana climate across the state.
The dataset includes years from 1915-2011. Results are reported as anomalies, or departures from the average values of the entire length of record. The anomalies are calculated as the average of the years between 1915 and 2011 that meet the conditions specified in the drop down menus minus the average of the full historical record. Results are given in millimeters and °C for precipitation and temperature, respectively.
The overall methodology is based on the University of Washington Climate Impact Group's (UW-CIG) Pacific Northwest Climate Maps. If you are interested in more details please visit the UW-CIG About these Maps webpage.
Coming soon!
This web application was funded by the Montana Fertilizer Advisory Committee through the MT Fertilizer Tax Research Fund awarded to Dr. Bruce Maxwell, Dr. Judit Barroso, and Dr. Clain Jones, Montana State University, Land Resources and Environmental Sciences. Additional support from the Montana Climate Office.
The web application was inspired by the University of Washington Climate Impact Group's Pacific Northwest Climate Maps.
The interpolated climate data used to calculate the anomalies was provided by: Livneh, B., E. A. Rosenberg, C. Lin, B. Nijssen, V. Mishra, K. M. Andreadis, E. P. Maurer, and D. P. Lettenmaier, 2013: A Long-Term Hydrologically Based Dataset of Land Surface Fluxes and States for the Conterminous United States: Update and Extensions. J. Climate, 26, 9384~9392.
Currently, it is necessary to zoom in and click on the center of a grid-cell to get an accurate anomaly value. Clicking while zoomed out at the state-scale or near the boundaries of a grid-cell will give erroneous values. I am working hard to figure out why this is and will remove this "Bug report" once it is fixed. Thanks for your patience.

Actress Sonam Kapoor got emotional while talking about Nirbhaya, the gangrape victim who will be honoured by US first lady Michelle Obama. She said the honour will not allow people to forget the incident soon.
"Every time I talk about it, I get teary-eyed. It becomes very difficult for me to talk about it. Doing something like this to any man, woman or animal is deplorable. To honour someone, who was courageous and fought a battle, is brilliant," Sonam told reporters here.
The 23-year-old, who was brutally gang-raped and tortured in the Indian capital, died in December last year.
Nirbhaya is among 10 extraordinary women who will be honoured on the occasion of the International Women's Day Friday with the Secretary of State's International Women of Courage Award by Michelle Obama in Washington, US.
Nirbhaya will be awarded posthumously and Sonam said it will give give "publicity" to her, which is needed "because people tend to forget it".
"When something like this (rape) happens, there is a lot of hue and cry, but later it is forgotten. This honour will make the incidence fresh in our memory," she added.
The 27-year-old was in the capital Thursday to announce the second edition of L'Oreal Paris Femina Women Awards 2013.
Honouring women with extraordinary accomplishment, outstanding leadership qualities and exceptional commitment to their careers, the awards will be held March 19 in Mumbai.
Sonam, L'Oreal Paris's brand ambassador, said: "The most powerful people in our country are women and we need to encourage them, who are doing so much for art, culture, and society."
She has been shooting in the capital for sometime now and believes education is important to change mindsets.
She says that as a woman she has the freedom to move around in Mumbai on her own, but her movement gets restricted in the capital.
"I am shooting in Delhi for the past six month. As someone from Mumbai, I go out whenever I want to. But when I am in Delhi, I know I can't go out after 7:30 p.m. on my own. We cannot blame a city. The basic thing required is education.
"It is about being open, aware and start respecting women. I think illiteracy is the biggest cause of this kind of mindset. I think once people get more educated, things will change," said Sonam.
She is currently shooting for Yash Raj Films' untitled project with actor Ayushmann Khurrana in the capital.
