1 Distr.: GENERAL 4 septembre 2001 Original: English ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR AFRICA Second Meeting of the Committee on Development Information (CODl) Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 4-7 September 2001 ESAMI ONLINE DISTANCE EDUCATION
2 ESAMI ONLINE DISTANCE EDUCATION Described by Dr Clement Chinyanga Senior Consultant, ESAMI Online education is an innovative approach to distance learning in which the world wide web (www), the Internet and intranets are effectively utilised. At Eastern and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI), staff is currently exploring the issues of utilising this approach on the Executive MBA. This paper discusses the issues involved in trying to introduce online distance education at ESAMI. Existing Online Education Systems The use of sophisticated communication technologies in enhancing the education of many geographically dispersed teachers and students is not new in Africa. The World Bank launched the African Virtual University (AVU) in 1997 and so far, 26 AVU learning centres have been established in 15 sub-saharan countries. AVU courses are mainly in engineering and science at the graduate level. Professors mainly in American and Europe deliver their lectures in front of television cameras in their own classrooms. The video is routed through fibre optics, ISDN lines to an uplink in Washington DC, which then beams it via satellite to campuses in Africa. In the program, students are able to talk to instructors in real time. In South Africa, a Consortium called elearning Systems has been set up with the core business of developing and delivering multimedia-rich, on-line learning material focusing on different levels of education. E-Leaming Systems intends to work with academic institutions, which wish to outsource the development of on-line learning systems. Outsourcing for this activity is usually taken as an option by many academic institutions because the task is capital intensive, with tremendous time urgency. E-Learning Systems has listed on its web site, its accrediting institutions as: University of Free State University of Stellenbosch University of Potchefstroom, Stellenbosch & Pretoria Parktown College. These academic institutions are listed as offering diplomas, first degrees and masters programmes in different disciplines. On the list, only the University of the Free State offers a Master of Business Administration. This MBA is certified by the University of the Free State but the programme has been developed by the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business at Chicago's depaul's University in the USA. ESAMI Online Distance Education
3 Besides the two initiatives on on-line distance education described above, the author of this paper was unable to locate any other on-line distance education programmes in Africa. Needless to mention that there are many such programmes in the USA, Britain, Australia and other developed countries. WHY THE PROPOSED ESAMI ON-LINE MBA? Background The Eastern and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI) is an inter-governmental Management Development Centre. The Institute's roots go back to the former East African countries, viz Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. In 1974, the Institute was established as the East African Community Management Institute (EACOMI). In 1977 when the East African Community broke up, the Institute survived and was renamed the East African Management Institute (EAMI). With effect from February 1980, following a unanimous agreement reached at the Third Conference of Ministers of the Lusakabased MULPOC countries, EAMI was expanded and converted into ESAMI. The Institute's coverage was broadened beyond the three original founders (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) so as to cover all countries of Eastern and Southern African Sub-region, namely: Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, Somalia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. ESAMI is, therefore, a Pan-African Regional Management Development Centre whose service area now covers 22 countries. It is a service and market-oriented institution offering high level specialised management training and development programmes, consultancy and action-oriented management research services targeted at government, parastatals and private sector and regional institutions in the Eastern and southern African region. ESAMI is a leader in the industry in Sub-Saharan Africa. Functions of ESAMI. Serving as specialised regional centre for training, research and consultancy in various management fields with particular focus on the management of public and private enterprises;.undertaking, co-sponsoring or facilitating the conduct of studies on administrative or management problems with respect to the socio-economic and technological development of the member states;. Providing management consultancy services to public and private institutions within its member states at their request;. Providing documentation and information services and acting as a reference centre in the field of management;. Endeavouring to test, evaluate, develop and disseminate new management techniques in strategic sectors;. Collaborating with national regional and international management development institutions and associations in carrying out any or all of the above activities. ESAMI Online Distance Education 2
4 In summary, therefore, ESAMTs role is to function as an African management Development Centre and a major forum for the international exchange and dissemination of ideas in the field of management sciences in the sub-region. Considerable significance has been attached by the member states to ESAMI's capacity to serve as high level instrument in the region, in particular its role to support, complement and supplement national and regional training institutions in its service area. The ESAMI Executive MBA In 1998, the Board of Governors of ESAMI gave the institution to award degrees. Since then, ESAMI has enrolled and conducted the Executive MBA programme to five intakes. The programme structure and content were designed by the ESAMI Business School. The current structure of the Executive MBA requires that the degree be completed over a period of two years. During every quarter, students come to any of the venues, up to now at Arusha in Tanzania, Nairobi in Kenya, Kampala in Uganda or Lusaka in Zambia, for a two-week period of intensive lectures. After that students return to work and continue with work related assignments. At the next quarter, students submit projects, sit examinations on the modules done on the previous quarter, and then take new modules full time for a period two weeks until the programme is completed. ESAMI has a collaboration agreement with the Maastritch School of Management. In the agreement, both institutions participate in curriculum design and development. The focus of the entire curriculum is aimed at addressing the needs and challenges of African organisations and the global scenario. Why ESAMI Online Degree? ESAMI wishes to offer the following benefits to the learners: Freedom of choice of the place and time where the student can carry out tasks required in the degree Activities of each student with peers and with lecturers through Interaction of the each student with the lecturer on a constant basis through Using a variety of media to enhance learning Use of expert lecturers Offering immediate feedback to learners Permitting students direct access to the world wide web resources as part of the learning process Real time chats with peers and lecturers Repetition of course material as the need arises for students depending on the topic Access to latest information in each field of study Offer an alternative way of completing the Executive MBA for those who cannot otherwise attend full time two week sessions at venues Reach a wider section of the population with the Executive MBA programme. ESAMI Online Distance Education 3
5 ESAMI ONLINE APPROACH The online approach called EsamiOnline, is in response to the needs of our students. EsamiOnline is a delivery model which has to be independently endorsed as the 'most simple and workable' currently in the market place. EsamiOnline provides a common format for all subjects, which means that students only need to learn one set of navigation tasks. EsamiOnline provides an identity for distance students to link and interact with the Business School and with fellow students. Two Key Components of EsamiOnline 1. As part of the student enrolment fee, the student will receive all core materials in hard copy form. This includes provision of a textbook, in most cases with all supporting notes, readings and assessment materials. This means that the student can study and undertake assessment tasks without downloading large pdf and other files from the internet. This approach is important to avoid students wasting time on these downloads and printing large amounts of text from the internet. It also provides flexibility in the sense that you do not have to have access to a computer in order to study and work on assessment tasks. 2. EsamiOnline's interaction and submission of assessment tasks can be unique. Most universities are embracing the internet as a base for broadening market reach on online delivery. These universities are seeking to provide cutting edge technology from their servers, such as video streaming and full online text materials. However, full online text means that you will have to print realms of information on your local printer. Video and high-end graphics involve significant download times. A students want to spend time on the subject matter, not waiting for information to download. The EsamiOnline is to provide video, subject software etc. on CD ROM as part of the subject materials package and use the internet for and group interactions. Each class group has an instructor who can be ed for information and assistance. In addition. Class members can interact directly with each other to discuss issues and form a class network. Class instructors also facilitate asynchronous discussions, which extend for a defined period (normally one week) and allows all students to participate in the discussion. There is also a bulletin board facility and frequently asked (FAQ) listing. Our approach then is to provide the student with all the materials required to study for the subject and complete assessment tasks, while supporting the student's studies with online tutorials, discussions, and encouraging lass groups to interact. EsamiOnline allows a prospective student to see how the approach works, and then invites him to our web site by simply clicking on the web site address given on the screen. Online Instructors ESAMI Online Distance Education
6 The Business School will seek to develop a list of suitably qualified people to undertake duties as online instructors for students initially in the MBA courses. Duties: o Facilitate online discussion o Respond to student s within 48 hours o Maintain a constant presence in online workshops and interact with students on online tasks o Provide a summary of online workshop participation o Facilitate online tests o Collect and assess assignments and tasks o Aggregate assessment marks o Liase with the Faculty Subject Coordinator regarding assessment, grade processing, and consistent content between online and on campus mode delivery o Provide information to update the Esamionline site and place course content on the Business SchooPs preferred online platform. Qualifications o A master's degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline Familiarity with computing technologies o Teaching experience at the tertiary level o Access to appropriate computing facilities Remuneration: Instructors will be employed on a contract basis for an agreed period of time. Online Programs All current Executive MBA modules would be offered online. The whole program would be advertised describing in full the program structure, admission requirements and course costs. What A Student Needs To Study Online EsamiOnline courses would be based around the use of a combination of print-based materials and web-based technology. In order to access the online aspects of the courses (which includes communication with other students in each subject), the student will need access to the following items: o A Pentium class computer of at least 100 MHz processor o o A CD ROM or DVD drive Modem o Reliable access to the internet o A web browser of at least a version 4 level ESAMI Online Distance Education
7 Some subjects may require the use of specific software that needs a higher level of computer technology. Students should check with lecturers to ensure that their computer technology is adequate. How A Student Enrols Application Form The student will need to obtain an ESAMI online application form, which will be given on the ESAMI web site. The student can also download the instruction for completing the form. Alternatively, the student can contact the ESAMI and the student can be sent the application form. The form will have detailed instructions on how to fill it. Cost of Online Programs All online programs are full fee paying programs. The fairest charge method is that where the student pays by the subject, in the period that the student takes that subject. The cost of each subject includes all written program materials, textbooks, and DVD ROM information. The exact cost per subject can be arrived at after full development costs and other aspects of the program have been taken into account. SHORT COMINGS OF ONLINE PROGRAMMES IN AFRICA In Africa, the main problems of internet access are: limited telecommunication infrastructure, the cost of computers and telephone calls Telecommunication Infrastructure From our experiences in different countries in Africa, we know that telecommunication infrastructure is run by parastatals or state monopolies which are facing many problems. It is reported for example that over one million people are currently waiting for telephone lines to be installed. The encouraging state of affairs is that there is now a thrust towards privatisation of this sector. Privatising this sector could improve the telecommunication infrastructure. In Ghana for example, privatising the sector in 1996 caused an increase of 67% in telephone lines by The two main reasons for slowness in infrastructure development are the lack of telecommunication policies and poverty of the African governments. Cost The cost of computer equipment is very high in Africa compared to other continents. Many African governments add high import duties and taxes on information and communication technologies equipment. This makes the number of companies and individuals who can afford to buy and maintain such equipment very small. According to domainatlas.com, Africa has the least number of registered domain sites on the internet. Internet content developed in Africa is negligible. ESAMI Online Distance Education 6
8 The cost of telephone charges is very high in Africa compared to developed countries. In countries like Tanzania, a local telephone call costs over US$3 per minute. Such high telephone costs are prohibitive to internet use. Internet service provider subscription charges are also much higher in Africa than on other continents. In North America, ISP US$20 monthly charges are available while in Tanzania for example, the minimum is US$60 for the same kind of services. References: David A.

Securatot's Commitment
"Securatot was founded by Jayne and Kirsty, who remain at the heart of the business despite its growth. In the days before children, Jayne worked as a buyer at the Early Learning Centre and was especially interested in child product safety. Kirsty had a career in marketing and business development. They met at antenatal classes and soon realised that they had a shared obsession with car seats!
Since importing the first seats for their children they have been on mission to know everything possible about rear facing. They train and work closely with manufacturers across Europe and continue to exhaustively research the subject. They were one of the first pioneers of rear facing in the UK and have been campaigning about car safety ever since. They have advised thousands of parents and fitted thousands of seats. Their energy comes from knowing that rear facing saves lives.
Securatot is absolutely passionate about rear facing car seats. We are totally committed to providing the best possible protection for your child." – Securatot

Jonathan Arthur DeBarge, 23 June 1966, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. Chico DeBarge was too young to join the family group DeBarge in 1978, but he was signed to a solo contract with Motown Records in 1986, issuing a self-titled album in a harder, funk-rooted style than his brothers and sisters. His debut single, Talk To Me, was a major US hit, and he had four more black music chart entries up to 1988. His promising career was effectively ended when he and his brother Bobby DeBarge (a former member of the Motown group Switch) were arrested and then convicted on charges of trafficking cocaine in October 1988. Released after six years imprisonment, DeBarge returned to music in the late 90s with Long Time No See.

Lynne Spears Likes Kevin Federline After All!
Lynne Spears just wants to keep it civil, ya'll. Britney and Jamie Lynn's mom did some couch surfing to promote her new tell-all and praised former son-in-law Kevin Federline on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet.
"I do like Kevin," she confessed, "he's been good to us."
Lynne announced her gratitude to K Fed, given Britney's trails and tribulations over the past two years amid divorce and custody issues.
"He could've been a real pill about a lot of things, but he wasn't…. He worked with us, and I think he's tried to make things good for the boys."
And what of her own children? Is she happy with the way they turned out, and what it took to achieve their success?
"There were certain things that I would do again, of course…. But I would always hope that my children would fulfill their dreams. And these were my children's dreams."

(The episode begins with Ice King flying with Princess Bubblegum, cackling deviously.)
Finn: Hey, fart-face!!
Ice King: Huh?
Fionna: Yeah, over here!
Finn: Unhand Princess Bubblegum!!
Ice King: Foolish interlopers! Zah! (Fires ice magic at Finn)
Finn: (Evading it) Whoa! (Throws a snowball at him) Ah!
Ice King: Ee hee hee hee—OOH! (Gets hit by snowball) MY EYESIGHT!
Fionna: Go, Jake, go! He's disoriented!
(Jake forms his posterior into Princess Bubblegum's shape while Finn puts two rocks on it, representing her eyes. He replaces Princess Bubblegum with his posterior without Ice King noticing.)
Princess Bubblegum: Huh? Hee hee hee!
Fionna: Finn, you are so baaaaad!
Finn: Hey, Ice King! I bet you'll never kiss the princess!
Ice King: I will kiss her! I will! (To "princess") Hold still. (Kisses Jake's posterior) Mwah!
Finn: (Laughs) You just kissed Jake's butt!
Fionna: Ha, that slaps me on the knee!
Ice King: What?! (Jake reforms his posterior.) EEEEGH!! (The other four laugh.) (Flying away) The hour is yours, but the day shall be mine! Just like you, Princess—MINE!
Princess Bubblegum: What a patoot. Thanks for saving the day yet again, guys.
Finn: You're welcome, Princess. (She hugs him.) Uh... (He blushes, and Fionna and Jake raise their eyebrows, amused.)
Princess Bubblegum: I'm gonna throw you three a party. Meet at the Candy Kingdom—TONIGHT!
(The three cheer. "PARTY TIME" logo pops up and balloons fill up the screen to shift to the next scene. Finn, Fionna, and Jake are walking to the Candy Castle through the Cotton Candy Forest.)
Fionna: That paper crane for Princess Bubblegum?
Finn: I just thought I'd bring 'er a gift... in return for throwing us this party.
Fionna: Even in these post-war times, an excellent piece of Japanese culture survives.
Jake: Heh. I bet you wish you were my butt.
Finn: What?
Fionna: Are you going where I think you're going?
Jake: I bet you wish you were my butt, because then the princess would... No, wait... I bet you wish you were the Ice King and the princess was my butt!
Finn: What?!
(Fionna gags)
Jake: Hmm... (Snapping) OH! I bet you wish Bubblegum would kiss you, too! Like the Ice King and my butt! Hahahaha!
Finn: That's ridiculous! (Finn imagines Princess Bubblegum kissing him, and he sighs contentedly.) Huh? Uggghhh!!(Jake runs ahead laughing.) What's so funny?
Fionna: You don't wanna know, Finn. You don't wanna know?
(Hard cut to the Candy Castle)
Peppermint Butler: Hey, everybody. Finn, Fionna, and Jake are here.
Jake: Who's ready to party?!
(The crowd seems focused on and gathered around something else. Finn and Fionna confusedly look at each other.)
Finn: What's everyone laughing at?
Wildberry Princess: Shh!
Ricardio: Stand back, everyone. This style of massage is called, "Best Friend Massage."
Lumpy Space Princess: Oh, my Glob...
Ricardio: Because it can only be done for friends. It is completely consensual.
Lumpy Space Princess: Oh, holy cow...
Ricardio: Relax yourself now, Lumpy Space Princess... YAH! (Backflips and pounds her)
Lumpy Space Princess: Oh! I feel so great!
Finn: Who is that guy?
Ricardio: Hahaaa!
(Fionna shrugs. A fanfare is heard and Princess Bubblegum enters.)
Banana Guard: Attention! Her Royal Highness, Princess Bonnibel H. Bubblegum, comes forth!
Princess Bubblegum: Greetings, party-goers! Glad you could all make it!
Finn: Princess Bubblegum! (Ricardio stares at her and he himself starts "beating" hard.) Princess. I just wanted to thank you for—
Lumpy Space Princess: (Cutting in) Oh, my Glob! PB, ya gotta check out this super cute guy. You're gonna love 'im. (They leave Finn and Jake.)
Finn: Uhhh...
Lumpy Space Princess: This is... Oh. Oh, my Glob. I don't even know your name.
Ricardio: Ricardio. Ricardio at your service. I've been waiting all evening to meet you, Princess. (Kissing her hand)Mwah! (Finn pockets his gift, irritated.) I've heard you appreciate pre-war technology. Have you ever used the balbaflonic laser to align the hybernotalist rift in the bubaflon plasmodial formation?
Princess Bubblegum: Whoa! No, I haven't! (Music starts up; crowd moves to the dance floor.) Wanna continue this conversation on the dance floor?
Ricardio: (Exiting with her) It would be my pleasure, Princess.
Finn: Why didn't the princess invite me to dance?
Jake: If you wanna dance, just go dance!
Finn: But now she's dancing with him! Ah... I feel... weird!
Fionna: Finn, if I were in your position, but with Prince Gumball, I would feel weird, too. Speaking of which, where is PG?
(Loud clanging comes from off-screen)
Prince Gumball: GAH! Stupid pots! Why don't they keep these cubberts organized?!
Jake: Huh, it sounds like you're dealing with some new emotions you don't understand... like jealousy.
Finn: BLAAAARGH!!
Fionna: Really, Jake?
Jake: Look, man, just go out there and get down! (Pushes him onto the dance floor)
Ricardio: (To Princess Bubblegum) —transmordial layers completely independent of the babylons. Eh?
Princess Bubblegum: Wow! That would mean that the babylons would fluctuate with the piranha-nanosphere!
Ricardio: Correct!
Finn: Agh! (Goes back to Jake) They're talkin' about science, man! I can't compete with that!
Fionna: In a cosmic sort of way, I can. They seem to be talking about the creation of dark matter.
Jake: Do the Science Dance! Remember it? It was sorta like this. (Does it) Wah unh we ah eeh...
Fionna: Gah, not that stupid dance!
Finn: You think that'll work?
Jake: Yeah! Probably. (Pushes him back onto the dance floor) Do it, man! You're a pro!
Finn: (Dancing) Science Dance! Science Dance!
Ricardio: (Still talking with Bubblegum) —lower proximities to—
Finn: Science Dance! Hey, eh, Princess! Wanna hang?
Ricardio: Excuse me, Princess. You must excuse me. I have...business to attend to. (Exits)
Princess Bubblegum: Oh, uh... Alright! (To Finn) Finn, what the cabbage? I was learning about Zanoits!
Finn: (Prevaricating) Oh... I'm... into Zanoits! Th-They're the best!
Princess Bubblegum: Zanoits kill hundreds of thousands of Plantoids a year.
Finn: Oh, no, not the Plantoids!
Princess Bubblegum: Plantoids produce mellotoxin! (Finn stares.) Mellotoxin kills Zanoits!!
Finn: ...So are Zanoits... good things?
Princess Bubblegum: (Changing the subject) You're totally jealous of Ricardio.
Finn: No, I'm not. I just don't like the way he talks to you. It makes me feel weird.
Princess Bubblegum: That's jealousy, hun.
Finn: I'm not jealous! I'M WEIRD!!!
(The party notices Finn's scene.)
Flame Princess (Fire Form): (From back of the room, to herself): Boy, if I weren't under watch by Fire Soldiers, I'd intervene. All in due time, though. The day will come.
Jake: (To himself) Woof! Man... This is goin' bad. Hey, Finn. You gotta come help me slay these peanut monsters at the bar. It can't wait. (He and Finn are alone.) Wow, man, what happened out there?
Finn: Agh... I don't know! I was tryin' to warn 'er, but she twisted my words around and—
Jake: Yeah. Ladies are twisty, man. Bubblegum's super smart, too.
(Fionna joins in)
Fionna: Jake, once again, your advice is HORRIBLE!
Finn: Where were you, sis?
Fionna: Helping Gumball clean up the kitchen.
(Loud bang comes from off-screen)
Prince Gumball: GAH! FIONNA WAS RIGHT! NEVER USE WESTINGHOUSE PRODUCTS!
Fionna: I warned him. ALWAYS use General Electric products.
Finn: And I can't shake this weird feeling about Ricardio. I think he's... a villain.
Jake: Why? Is it because his face is so foldy and dramatic?
Finn: No! I can just feel it in my gut! He's up to something sinister!
Jake: Maybe what you feel is romantic rivalry.
Fionna: Jake, I feel very suspicious of this guy, too.
Finn: Me and Fi'll prove he's a villain!
Jake: How?
Finn: Stakeout.
(Scene shifts to outside in the Candy Kingdom. Finn, Fionna, and Jake are on a roof, and Finn is looking through binoculars.)
Finn: Heart-Man is arriving at destination! (Viewing Ricardio and Princess Bubblegum) They're talking!
Jake: Lemme see. (Gets binoculars) I can read their lips. (Mimicking Princess Bubblegum) "Hey, shorty, you should pick your boogers and then fart!" (Mimicking Ricardio) "You look kind of like a big pink baguette!"
Finn: (Taking back binoculars) Get serious, Jake!! This is life and death!
Jake: Is it? Don't get me wrong. I'm all about stakeouts and spying on this guy, but what if he's not a villain? What if he just looks wicked? Some people look wicked but are super nice.
Finn: We gotta trust our guts!
Fionna: Yeah, guts! I love you, guts.
Jake: (Grabbing gut) Hmm.
Finn: Heart-Man is mobile! Let's move out! (The three swing onto a Guardian of the Royal Promise.) I see 'im. He's holding rope and going into the trash. He's smashing bottles—and pretending to stab someone!
Jake: So... he's recycling... or what?
Fionna: Creating a sharp weapon, more likely.
Finn: (Takes off binoculars) I think your gut's a little naive, Jake. (Puts on binoculars) Holy moly! He's... he's with the Ice King! They're shouting something! (Ice King and Ricardio quarrel.) Ricardio is tossing him in the dumpster and running away!
Jake: So I was right! He is a good guy who's just cursed to look suspicious! (To gut) You and me, gut! Together forever! Solvin' crimes and makin' up rhymes!
Finn: No way. This proves he's a super-villain! As in, he beats up on lesser villains like the Ice King!
(Jake sings the Gut Song.)
Finn: Then it's settled! We're gonna confront Ricardio face-to-face and prove he's evil!
Jake: Or good!
Fionna: Or neutral. Nah, evil.
(Scene cuts to downtown in the Candy Kingdom. Ricardio walks deviously and accidentally runs into Finn.)
Ricardio: Oof!
Finn: So what're you doin', Ricardio? Are you evil?
Jake: Or nice with an evil face?
Ricardio: That's none of your business.
Finn: The safety of Princess Bubblegum is my business!
Fionna: So give us the information or we'll call in our boys!
Ricardio: What boys?
Fionna: None. I just always wanted to say that.
Jake: Yeah, we just wanna know if you're evil or not.
Ricardio: Oh, yeah?
Finn and Fionna (In unison): Yeah.
Ricardio: Oh, yeah?
Jake: Yeah. (Slightly annoyed) Yes!
Finn: You stay away from Princess Bubblegum with all that stuff!
Ricardio: Now that my plan is nearly complete, there is no way you could stop me.
Finn: I could stop you if I wanted!
Ricardio: Oh, yeah?
Finn: Yeah!
Ricardio: Oh, yeah??
Finn: YEEEAAAH!!!
(Finn punches Ricardio, knocking him down. Princess Bubblegum enters.)
Princess Bubblegum: (Gasps) What's going on here?
Finn: Princess?!
Princess Bubblegum: Ricardio?!
Ricardio: (Weakly) Yes... I'm alright, Princess.
Princess Bubblegum: Finn... why'd you do it?
Finn: He was gonna hurt you with those ropes and bottles!
Princess Bubblegum: These were for our balbaflonic laser.
Ricardio: It's not all his fault, Princess. I might've looked a little threatening.
Princess Bubblegum: Finn... you shouldn't punch brainiacs. You know how fragile they are! You gotta stop this jealous business! Now get out of the Candy Kingdom and keep out until further notice before I put you and Fionna in the dungeon for assault and battery! And if you come back, I'll turn you over to the Anti-Human League
Fionna: Princess, that sounds dark, even for you.
Princess Bubblegum: Yeah, you're right. I get carried away sometimes.
Finn: But--
Princess Bubblegum: C'mon, Ricardio. I'll patch you up and give you candy. (They exit.)
Finn: (Sigh) She hates me now. I was totally wrong about Ricardio.
Fionna: Time to begin planning to get back at her.
Finn: How?
Fionna: Spread rumors, stir up unrest, it will all lead to civil war.
Finn: But what about Ricardio? He seems evil, but he's not.
Ice King: No, Finn! (Emerges from dark alleyway) You were not wrong. He is evil! (Collapses)
Finn: Ice King! What do you know about this? Tell me or we'll do something!
Jake: Hold up, Finn! The Ice King looks sorta damaged!
Finn: I don't care! I only care about Ricardio!
Ice King: But my enervated condition has everything to do with him. (Flashback begins; Ice King does voice-over) I was trying to cast a spell that would give me total control of Princess Bubblegum's heart! ...But I messed it all up... and lost control of mine. (Ricardio come's out of Ice King's chest in flashback. He runs towards the window laughing.) He planned to rip out Princess Bubblegum's heart... to make it his bride. And launch a campaign of world domination from there. And hunt down the last of the humans, including you two. (Ricardio sticks his tongue out and exits laughing.) Without my heart, I grew weak. (Ice King groans in flashback.) But I made my way to the Candy Kingdom to look for him. In an alleyway, I begged him to (In flashback, Ice King mouths these words as current Ice King says them) return to me and leave the princess alone. (Flashback ends.) But he threw me in the dumpster and left me for dead. (Reaching his hand out at Finn) Stop Ricardio!
Finn: (Slapping hand away) Agh! Come on, Fionna! Jake, stay here and watch over Ice King! (They run to the Candy Castle.) Gotta save the princess!
(They enter.)
Fionna: Princess Bubblegum!!
Finn: Princess!! (Gasps)
Princess Bubblegum: Finn!! Fionna!!
(She is tied up in the rope from earlier and Ricardio is next to her with the broken bottle in his hand.)
Ricardio: You were right all along, Finn and Fionna! Now I'm going to cut out Princess Bubblegum's heart and make out with it! Then kill the two of you! Finally, the Domino Theory will be proven true! The last vestiges of corrupt Capitolism will be swept away!
Fionna: I knew it: A hard-lined ex-Soviet in a heart's body! He's probably even got nuclear weapons in his possession!
Finn: Not if I can help it!
(They chase Ricardio, and Ricardio ends up next to Bubblegum again.)
Ricardio: One step closer and I'll remove her heart, and launch every nuke I have in my control!!
Princess Bubblegum: Finn! I feel like a big idiot for doubting you! He was just so engaging! ...But his knowledge on plantoids is actually pretty weak.
Ricardio: Shut your mouth up, Princess! (Fionna knocks Ricardio down by throwing a boomerang at him.) I'm gonna smooch that heart!! It will be my bride!! And the world will be mine!!
Finn: Why don't you marry someone your own size?! Like my foot?! And go take over the Moon?!!
Ricardio: Huh?!
(Finn kicks him.)
Finn: And my fist?!
(Finn punches him twice.)
Ice King: (Crawling in) Stop! Stop it! That's my heart, you piece of—
Finn: Ice King. (Ice King crawls towards Ricardio.) Should we... let 'im take his heart back? He is... villainous...
Fionna: I don't wanna watch an old man die on Princess Bubblegum's carpet, bro. It's carpeting, too, and blood stains would just ruin it.
Ice King: Oh, yeah...
Ricardio: Wait! Wait! No! LENIN, SAVE ME!
Ice King: Come to daddy...
Ricardio: Noooooooooo!
Ice King: Yeah, there you go... (Puts him in his chest) Like that? Huh?
Ricardio: (Sinking into chest) Seeee you guys laterrrr...
Ice King: (Reinvigorated) I feel wonderful! Hahaha! And now that I've saved the Princess, she'll marry me and live in my dungeon every day!
Finn: No, she won't!
Princess Bubblegum: Yeah, no, I won't!
Ice King: Yes you WILL! (He charges up his ice magic, but Finn kicks him. He begins flying away.) Well... maybe not today... or tomorrow... but another day! Another—(Accidentally knocks head on door frame. He grunts in pain as he exits.)
(Scene cuts to a dining room in the castle. Finn, Fionna, Jake, and Bubblegum are eating spaghetti.)
Princess Bubblegum: Thanks again for saving me... again.
Finn: (Mouth full) Don't mention it.
Princess Bubblegum: Now that Ricardio's gone, you don't have to be jealous of anyone anymore. (Winks)
Finn: I never get jealous.
Princess Bubblegum: (Romantically) Kiss me, Finn. (Finn blushes, astonished.) Ahem. (She is doing a hand-stand and wearing a Jake mask on her posterior. She uses a deeper voice.) I mean... kiss me, Finn. (Normal voice, whispering) Am I doing it right, Jake?
(Jake chuckles.)
Finn: NOOOOOOOO!!!
Fionna: JAKE, YOU IMBECILE! Why would you do that?!
(Loud explosion from off-screen; Prince Gumbal flies on-screen, blackened)
Prince Gumball: OK, Kenmore! Kenmore products are best! GE may have made good radioes, clocks, and diesel locomotives, but not stoves!
Princess Bubblegum: Why do you keep trying, Bubba?
Prince Gumball: I don't know. I really don't know. Guess I just wanna one-up the Catering Kingdom.

Vash the Stampede is a wanted man with a habit of turning entire frontier towns into rubble. The price on his head is a fortune, and his path of destruction reaches across the arid wastelands of a desert planet. Unfortunately, most encounters with the spiky-haired gunslinger don't end well for the bounty hunters who catch up with him; someone almost always gets hurt—and it's never Vash. Oddly enough, for such an infamous fugitive, there's no proof that he's ever taken a life. In fact, he's a pacifist with a doughnut obsession who's more doofus than desperado. There's a whole lot more to him than his reputation lets on—Vash the Stampede definitely ain't your typical outlaw.

Anti-Heroes, Shadows and Villains
When it comes to creating villains for stories, we can flippantly go for the quick stereotype: the leering, mustache-twirling baddie, who spews out his evil laugh. But if we really want our stories to have depth, we need to go … Continue reading

Residents question builders about west Maui hospital
LAHAINA, Maui (AP) — A new hospital is planned for Lahaina, but residents at a community meeting questioned whether physicians can be attracted to the West Maui Hospital and Medical Center.
"Where are they coming from?" Kaanapali resident Roger Ross asked Monday at the meeting attended by at least 100 at the Lahaina Civic Center. "It's a serious question because there's only a handful of specialists on this island, and most of them live on the other side because they're on-call at Maui Memorial (Medical Center)."
Wesley Lo, Maui regional chief executive officer of Hawaii Health System Corp., which oversees Maui Memorial, said the new hospital could face high costs in employing salaried staff physicians. About a decade ago, he said, Maui Memorial didn't employ physicians, and they were in practice for themselves.
Independents are retiring and younger doctors prefer to be paid by someone, he said. "We have to pay the salary and run the business for them," Lo said.
Brian Hoyle, president of Newport Hospital Corp., the developer of the new 53,000-square-foot hospital, said it's not focused on hiring specialists and that it's premature to speculate on a budget for employing doctors.
As a critical-access hospital serving a rural community, the new hospital would be limited to 25 acute-care inpatient beds in contrast to the 200 beds at Maui Memorial, he said.
"It's a completely different hospital," Hoyle said. "We're a small facility and community-based model. We're not looking at a salary-hospital model, but we will have salaried positions."
Charlie Slaton, chief executive officer of Critical Access HealthCare LLC, which will manage the hospital, said it will employ 65 to 75 nurses and 50 people in other roles.
The complex is expected to cost $60 million, including $47 million for the hospital, Hoyle said. His company is purchasing the land and securing land entitlements, which could take about a year.

After 15 years and 8 films of writing and directing on the independent film circuit, working for his buddies the Weinsteins, New Jersey's beloved son Kevin Smith steps out of his comfort zone and for the first time gets hired by a big Hollywood studio(Warner Bro.) to direct a movie that he didn't write. Unfortunately, for Smith the appeal of his previous films(Clerks, Dogma, Chasing Amy etc) was alway his strong characters and snappy dialog and Cop Out lacks in both those categories. (more…)

Maison Michel, Paris
"Since 1936, the Maison Michel has continued to perfect its art.
Creating hats for the most prestigious studios, it is recognized today for its vast capacity to explore shapes and materials. Laetitia Crahay, Head of accessories and jewellery at CHANEL and Artistic Director of the Maison Michel, has designed since 2006 Ready-to-Wear hats and hair accessories. Fresh and seductive, with a strong identity, and perfectly in the spirit of the times, her creations have already become essentials"... beautiful essentials in my mind...
To achieve a bold, luxurious and memorable look, Chanel went to Base Design, in New York, for the solution. They wanted "to create a new visual identity that would link Maison Michel to Chanel and Paris, and feel traditional and contemporary at the same time." They "chose the hat box as the main communication item. Horizontal stripes of text, always in black and white, include the very Parisian expression, 'Chapeau!" I would love to know your reaction is to these designs and the company!

Hi Sarah,ReplyDelete
UK is really a beautiful country...I love it.
Your post from today is a revelation for me,and I love it ,so so lovely and elegant hats.
Have a lovely evening?( I don't know how time is where you live.I go to bed right now),
Not a big fan of hats (on me, at least) but that hatbox is to die for! Hope your week is going well, Sarah!ReplyDelete
These boxes are so contemporary...right on! We see lettering and numbering in almost every product category; even at Brimfield the old letterpress letters and numbers were selling out quickly. I've used them as stamping on Christmas wrapping paper...ReplyDelete
And, I do love that little fur "topper": very cute.
I keep seeing you on Twitter, and will try to stop by here more often!
These hats are BEAUTIFUL and the boxes are the icing on the cake! I would love one!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog--I am so sorry that I couldn't meet up with you when you were in LA, but I promise next time you come I will definitely do all I can to meet up! Would love it if we could finally meet up!

Hi sweetheart! Everything is so gorgeous... Even the boxes are super chic (wouldn't mind having a few empty ones to use for decorating my home :) ) Love the hats very much, especially fedoras (they may have different names, but I am not that good with hat styles...) Thank you for sharing these photos and details. Wishing you a wonderful day! XReplyDelete
Absolutely love the hatboxes, they are so stylish. Thanks for the visit :)ReplyDelete

I like the boxes for the hats too.ReplyDelete
Ohhhhh, those hats! So gorgeous. I have a massive sized head (yep, bigger than most guys), and usually take the biggest size hat you can get. BUT, amazingly, hats really suit me!! I would happily give a home to any of those divine hats, but especially all the ones with brims.ReplyDelete
Linda. :)
Great post as always!!!ReplyDelete
Ciao Roberta
I love hats, I just don't think they look great on me.ReplyDelete
Mary Jo -- we certainly will :)ReplyDelete
how divine! I hope you are having a lovely week!ReplyDelete
I personally wish hats would come back into style - I love them. I especially love the white/off-white wool hat you have above and the boxes are fantastic. There is just something about the term "hat box".ReplyDelete
By the way, I'm highlighting one of your comments shared this week on the blog (Double the Luxury) in my newsletter tomorrow. I was also wondering if you'd like to be part of my reader's spotlight. If so, just email me and I'll send you the questions to answer. Your blog will be highlighted as well as your thoughts on luxury.
Enjoy your day!
Paula -- I hope YOU are having a great week, and are being spoiled with love while you are recovering... and hopefully, fast!ReplyDelete
The Simply Luxurious Life -- that sounds wonderful! Thank you so so much... as far as the newsletter, I would love to take part, and will send you an email soon :)
How ingenious that the box could be as eye-catching and beautiful as the hats they contain? I love all of these images, stunning post!ReplyDelete
oh la la! j'adore ces chapeaux!ReplyDelete
have a nice week-end Sarah!

UK approves 1,600 MW of new gas, biomass plants
The energy ministry said on Monday it had approved a 1,500 megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant in North Doncaster, as well as Scottish utility SSE's 108-MW biomass and waste power plant at Ferrybridge.
The modern gas-fired power plant, proposed by U.S.-based Acorn Energy, will be built on the site of an old coal-fired power plant at Thorpe Marsh, which was shut down in 1994.
SSE has proposed to fuel its new combined heat and power (CHP) plant at Ferrybridge with biomass, waste-derived fuels and waste wood on the site of its existing coal-fired power station which will shut down before 2016.
These decisions are a further example of our determination to clear the back-log of planning applications, to stimulate growth and enhance our energy security, said Energy Minister Charles Hendry.
The one billion pound gas-fired power plant and SSE's 250 million pound project are expected to create over 1,000 jobs during construction, the ministry said.
More than 8 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired power capacity will shut down in Britain before 2016 under an EU-wide directive which imposes limits for climate harming emissions.
This means new power plants to replace the loss in capacity need to quickly receive state approval to start construction in time for the planned closures.
The ministry last month approved the construction of a new biomass power plant in Wales and two weeks ago increased state subsidies for renewable energy sources such as marine and biomass.

(Information in this team report is as of October 1.)
Wichita State coach Mark Turgeon led his team to the Sweet 16 after losing four starters. Shocker fans can only imagine what can happen this season after only one starter has departed. This program's on a roll.
Wichita State lived a charmed life last season with its first MVC regular-season title since 1983, its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1981 and the second-most wins in school history (26). It also marked the fourth straight season the Shockers, who lost four starters from the 2004-05 team, went to the postseason.
"Last year we had a season that you wish would never end," said Turgeon, who led WSU to a pair of tournament victories before falling to George Mason -- which was en route to its historic run to the Final Four -- in the Round of 16.
This year, the Shockers return four starters and an experienced bench, so a return to the Big Dance should be no problem, right coach?
"I wish it was that easy," said Turgeon, who was rewarded with a three-year contract extension after the season that runs through 2010. "On paper we look good. I hope guys aren't caught up in themselves [after a special season]."
The fans are caught up in Shocker fever -- season tickets sold out in August for the upcoming season at Koch Arena.
The team might return three double-digit scorers, but replacing MVC Player of the Year Paul Miller (13.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg) will be no easy task. Miller is the all-time leader at WSU in games (132) and leaves as the 15th leading scorer all-time (1,317 points).
"We are really going to miss Paul -- he did everything for us," Turgeon said. "I'm going to have to learn how to coach again. I can't just draw up a play where we throw the ball in to Paul."

Shaped canvases are shaping up to be a trend at UES galleries, first with Frank Stella's "Polish Village" series at Van Doren Waxter, and now with this intergenerational survey of the style. The title is a nod to the Guggenheim's seminal "The Shaped Canvas" exhibition from a half century ago, and while the form was indeed rooted in early-'60s space-age optimism, the show demonstrates how various artists have revived the idea during the ensuing decades.
