Stand Up for Siblings is delighted to see protecting and supporting sibling relationships is among the 12 key intentions set out by the Independent Care Review that will shape the next stage of its work.

The Care Review has reached an important milestone as it starts its Journey stage. The intentions are all themes that have emerged from the Discovery stage from what was heard during a year of engagement and activities with children and young people who have experienced care, and the people and organisations who work with them.
Here is the full list of intentions:

• Families on the edge of care will get the support they need to stay and live together where safe to do so.

• Scotland’s children and young people will be nurtured, loved and cared for in ways that meet their unique needs.

• Relationships which are significant to children and young people will be protected and supported to continue unless it is not safe to do so. This recognises the importance of brothers and sisters, parents, extended family and trusted adults.

• Care experienced children and young people will thrive in supportive and stable learning and work environments, ensuring they have the same opportunities as others.

• Aftercare will be designed around the needs of the person leaving care supporting them to lead a fulfilling life, for as long as they need it.

• Children and young people’s rights will be part of normal everyday life, practice and decision making.

• Children and young people’s voices will have a visible and meaningful impact on decision making and care planning.

• All adults involved in the care of children and young people are empowered, valued and equipped to deliver the best care system in the world.

• Scotland’s care services will plan and work better together, sharing information more easily to ensure we understand the what and how of supporting children, young people and their families from a local through to a national level.

• Scotland will understand the financial and human cost of care, including what happens when people don’t get the help they need.

• The words used to describe care will be easily understood, positive and not create or compound stigma.

• There will be no stigma for care experienced children and young people in care because Scotland will understand why our children need care.

Police are investigating after a dog-walker claimed she was sexually assaulted at a Peak District beauty spot.

The 62-year-old was walking her dogs near Fernilee Reservoir, in the Goyt Valley in Derbyshire, at around 8pm on Saturday May 19 when two men approached her and assaulted her.

Derbyshire Police said they had been carrying out inquiries in the area and distributing leaflets to ramblers and dog walkers following the alleged incident.

A spokeswoman said: "We are investigating an allegation of a sexual assault in the Goyt Valley.

"Officers have been carrying out inquiries and visiting the area to distribute appeal leaflets to ramblers and dog walkers."

The woman described both men as being white and in their 30s.

One is reported to have been wearing an orange t-shirt while the other wore a green t-shirt.

The police spokeswoman added: "Witnesses or anyone with information should call Operation Diamond on 101, quoting reference 18000230146.

"You can also call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Chelsea are close to beating Real Madrid and Liverpool to the signing of Roma goalkeeper Alisson, according to reports in Spain.

Marca say the Blues are ready to pay Roma around £62m for the Brazil international, significantly more than any of their rivals for his signature.

They add: “Alisson is keen to join Madrid, but the Spanish giants have already had a £35m offer rejected and are reluctant to go much higher.”

However, a Chelsea deal could play right into Madrid’s hands if it means they are able to recruit long-term target Thibaut Courtois instead.

Courtois has just a year remaining on his Chelsea contract and should he refuse to sign a new deal they could look to offload the Belgium international, says the Metro. If that happens, Madrid are likely to be first in the queue to sign him.

Liverpool are keen to recruit a new keeper this summer, and like the look of Alisson, but might have to reconsider a move for Stoke City’s Jack Butland instead after failing to lure the Brazillian to the Premier League.

Marca have also been keeping tabs on Liverpool’s extraordinary offer for Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio.

According to reports, the Reds are ready to pay a staggering £158m for the Spain international… and Marca insist he is interested.

That’s because the 22-year-old will also be in line for a heft pay rise, and has been told by Liverpool representatives he will become the fulcrum of Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Another Madrid player in demand this summer is Germany international Toni Kroos, and AS claim Manchester United are keen to recruit the 28-year-old.

United manager Jose Mourinho is a longtime admirer of Kroos and is ready to spend big to get his man, but AS say Madrid are reluctant to sell and will insist on his 500m euros release clause being met before considering a deal.

Storyboard Description

This storyboard does not have a description.

Storyboard Text

  • Call to Adventure
  • Call to Adventure
  • August 25, DEAR MARTIN (AKA DR. KING),
  • Crossing the Threshold
  • Things aren't as equal as folks say they are.
  • Justyce is called to adventure when he is wrongfully arrested for the color of his skin and experiences extreme racism.
  • The Challenges
  • He took a spot I didn't get because Yale has to fill a quota--
  • Justyce begins the adventure. He starts an experiment: writing letters to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to find out if his teachings still hold up.
  • The Challenges
  • WHY does this guy insist on trying to keep me down?
  • Justyce leaves the known world of his safe life as a normal high school student and enters the psychological unknown world of exploring racism, prejudice, and injustice.
  • The Challenges
  • She's a good friend, Ma.
  • Justyce faces judgement and ignorance at school from peers, including his classmate Jared. Eventually, Jared becomes more understanding and less blind to the struggles of others.
  • A group of gang members from Justyce's neighborhood try to keep him down and tell him he belongs with them. Justyce is torn between his roots and proving himself to people like Jared. Finally, Justyce almost joins their gang, but doesn't when he realizes he shouldn't be like them.
  • You'll be back, smart guy. We'll see you soon.
  • Justyce wants to have a relationship with his classmate and friend Sarah-Jane. However, he knows his mother does not approve because Sarah-Jane is white. Justyce eventually decides that he wants to have the relationship anyway, despite what he knows his mother will think.
  • And you'd do well to keep it that way.

Missing You

I want to tell you how much I miss you. I miss your smile, your crinkled eyes and your laugh. When I see a picture of you, it makes me happy, but also forms a knot in my stomach. I miss my friend, I miss my love. I wish you’d think of me too. I wish you’d miss me. Through everything that happened, I miss you and love you still. One day I’ll be strong enough to tell you, or better yet. Strong enough to let go.

3 main bus

CAN people stop getting on the bus through the back? Wtf. Half the people don’t pay. That’s no fair. And everybody’s waiting in line half the time. I’ve called translink before. Nobody is supposed to do that. Drivers don’t speak up in case passengers would hurt them. But I get so pissed not being able to get on cuz some jerks think they can skip the line and be smart by getting on the back. The hell.

It happened again.

This time in a grocery store. A beautiful woman came along and I became over-aware of her and could not find a way to say hello. I’m late 40’s and I bet this has happened 4,000 times in the past 20 years! It’s painful for an extrovert to be this way. I need a small town. People talk to everybody. Everybody is everybody’s business. I like that. Is it being sensitive leaving others undisturbed so they can carry on shopping? Is it pathetic to suppress the desire to interact? Is it disingenuous to pretend to have something to say over the produce section? “Hey. Nice apples today don’t you think?”. Is it weakness pure and simple?

There's An App for That

It seems increasingly easier and easier to go broke by using all these apps on your smartphone.

Loo Why?

There is someone that keeps pissing on the seat in our office floors shared washroom. There is only 2 female stalls. Ladies, why the hell do you keep pissing on the seat. Don't be the initial pisser. Bring a darn wet wipe with you if you're so scared, otherwise invest in some Depends. Don't ruin washrooms for everyone else that needs to piss.

Tie = Old Fashion

I was wondering why anyone would want to wear an article of clothing around their neck that anyone could choke them to death with at anytime, but realized the incidents of that happening were probably more figurative.

C'est la vie..

I know right now I'm not strong enough to give him my blessings.. I hate him. You bring out the worst in me. I know I'll be happier without you, but I still love you. One day all of this will be different and I'll thank him for stealing your affections and forcing me to take my heart back... One day I'll thank you for leaving.. and one day I'll forget you completely..

Going to work drunk

I might get hate for this but for the past month I've been starting to go to work drunk. My job is in the enentertainment industry so it's not affecting anyone. I still show up on time and do my job well. I don't drive so thats not a worry. None of my coworkers have noticed and frankly I love my job more. I see nothing wrong.

Bipolar mess

Bipolar disorder is ruining my relationship with my boyfriend. The last week I have blown up on him over nothing. I'm stuck in a manic episode. People seem to think manic means super happy. For me it means extremely irritated and angry. He's been very patient with me but lately I think he may be seeing someone behind my back ... and I don't blame him. I've been feeling suicidal. I've been pushing him away and acting extremely irrational. I try to stop but it's like I'm a puppet and someone is pulling my strings. The worst part is when I think I'm actually being reasonably mad and he says "have you taken your meds today?". I immediately tell him to go fuck himself and storm off but then start thinking maybe he's right... I'm just crazy. I don't want to live like this anymore. I sabotage every single relationship. I just don't want to be here anymore. Want to drive as far away as possible and keep on driving.

What do you all do?

I'm curious what you all do for work and how much do you honestly make (and approximate age) to afford to live in this city. Because I have two degrees and I ain't killing it.

1988-2018 - 30 years of masturbation

Celebrating 30 years of self administered orgasms. Started out as a biological urgency. It always has been satisfying in between sex with men.

Are men and women capable of just being friends?

I'm a woman and I've been trying to prove to my friends that it's possible for a woman to just be friends with a guy. So far it's been difficult, to say the least. Most guys I've met and talked to get the wrong idea and think I'm interested in them, when I'm just being polite and making conversation. Another guy friend tried to take advantage of me, steal a kiss and grope me when he had me alone. I'm seen as "a catch" I suppose, but I am still holding out hope that I will be able to meet a decent man I can be friends with somewhere, somehow. I'm sure it can be done, I've seen other women with guy friends. And I'm not interested in friends with benefits either. It would just be nice to go out with a guy, as friends, without any of the expectations of a date.

If Invisalign® is the “Kleenex”® of the Aligner Systems, Give Me Facial Tissue Instead…. Clear Correct®!

2016 is ringing-out with a bang, especially for StraightSmile Solutions®. The aligner and short-term orthodontics markets are rapidly evolving and we are seeing more clients and prospective patients than ever requesting alternative aligner products.

Invisalign® is the fluffy and fabulous “Kleenex®” of the orthodontic industry, but it’s not for everyone. There’s a lot of pushback, especially relating to their latest pricing increase this past summer. Also, doctors are increasingly frustrated with the poor communication and customer support from the outsourced and off-shored Provider Customer Service Team. An increasing number of doctors and patients alike, are also frustrated that the Invisalign® product as a whole, is no longer made in the USA.

Invisalign® is recognized as THE expert-branded, high-value aligner product, but this is often an undesirable feature for many consumers and practitioners. They are simply looking for the best facial tissue. I often recommend the Clear-Correct® product as an alternative solution. It’s a simple, straight-forward, aligner product that’s fully fabricated and supported in the United States. The technicians are personable and easy to communicate with. Their aligners all come with retainers, so there is no additional lab fee accessed at the end of the case. With the Unlimited product, there are actually no hidden fees at all for lost aligners, revisions or additional aligners.

With a comprehensive savings at around $600-700 a case, once you factor in the free retainers, this is an enormous savings overtime. Their digital technology is similar to Invisalign®, but Align Technology® does have more efficient attachments and can more effectively, efficiently and ideally move the more complex extraction or malocclusion cases.

Given that most GP’s refer-out their orthognathic and complex comprehensive cases, most General Dentists should be able to ideally treat the bulk of their in-house patients with the ClearCorrect® system. The integration of a coaching system, like StraightSmile Solutions®, can ensure General Dentists with making the best selection for each patient and are able to obtain ideal outcomes on each case.

StraightSmile Solutions® is the future of orthodontic coaching. We are the first online portal to provide a doctor-to-doctor consulting service that will allow GP’s and their teams to access the knowledge and expertise of an industry expert, in order to enhance information sharing and efficiency in problem solving. I hope to revolutionize orthodontic coaching. As compared to other orthodontic coaching service providers, StraightSmile Solutions® is a full-time business. We are independent and not run alongside a clinical practice. We commit our full energy to coaching, and YOU reap the benefits! We pride ourselves on lightning-fast service and responsiveness. StraightSmile Solutions® is time and cost-efficient. Our services are available exclusively online. Of the over 128,000 general dentists in the U.S., most have little to no formal educational training in orthodontics. Those who do seek training often have to resort to expensive and time-consuming weekend services. You learn on the job through trial and error, but those errors can be expensive and unfortunate for both patients and doctors. We aim to fill the gap in the market for quality and efficient coaching to provide valuable solutions for doctors and their teams, and subsequent positive outcomes in the quality of patient care.

UK manufacturing growth edges up, still dragging on economy - survey

Manufacturers in the UK are struggling due to low demand from Europe and a strengthening pound.

LONDON (REUTERS) - British manufacturing growth picked up in July but new orders grew at the slowest pace in nearly a year, a survey showed on Monday, suggesting the factory sector would continue to drag on overall economic growth.

The Markit/CIPS manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose more than forecast in July to 51.9. That was up from 51.4 in June - its lowest level in over two years - but well below an average of 54.3 recorded since April 2013, when Britain's economy was starting its recovery.

The pace of growth of new orders slowed to 52.2, its lowest since September 2014, underscoring the challenge for policymakers to achieve more balanced long-term economic growth.

"Although a tick higher in the headline PMI breaks the decelerating trend in UK manufacturing, growth in the sector remains near-stagnant and suggests that the sector is continuing to act as a drag on the economy," said Rob Dobson, economist at data company Markit.

Britain's economy looks set for another strong year but the recovery remains largely reliant on consumer spending, with manufacturers struggling due to weak demand from Europe and a strengthening pound.

New export orders contracted for the fourth consecutive month in July, as the strength of the British currency hurt demand from euro zone markets, Markit said.

Sterling has risen 10 per cent against the euro this year, blurring the outlook for the Bank of England as it edges closer to its first rate hike in more than eight years. The BoE is expected to keep rates on hold at a meeting this week but many economists expect some of its policymakers to vote for a hike.

Official data released in July showed manufacturing contracted in the second quarter.

Monday's survey showed prices paid by manufacturers for raw materials fell in July after rising in June for the first time since August 2014, but factory gate prices rose to their highest in nearly a year.

The BoE expects inflation to pick up quickly towards the end of 2015 as last year's plunge in global oil prices filters through the numbers. Official data showed British inflation slipped back to zero in June.

SCWC received by Brazilian Government

Posted on the 14th September 2013

The Street Child World Cup has been received by the Brazilian Government in Brasilia as part of the Criança não é da rua (Children are not of the street) campaign which we are supporting across Brazil. Represented by Brazilian supporter and volunteer Mrs Inez de Azevedo we were delighted to meet Mrs Angélica Goulart, the National Secretary for the Promotion of the rights of Children and Adolescents.

Mrs Azevedo was accompanied by Mr Adriano Ribeiro from our Fortaleza partners O Pequeno Nazareno as she introduced the aims and objectives of the movement. Together they then made three official requests to Government on behalf of the Street Child World Cup:

1. A public declaration of political and institutional support to the Criança não é da rua movement which the Street Child World Cup is backing

2. A statement of support and commitment of the Federal Government to the development of a national policy to counter the situation of Street children and adolescents at risk of the streets

3. Support in mapping the current number of children living on the streets as well as the creation of a national database for monitoring and recording the social phenomenon

Ms Angélica Goulart has pledged to give an answer as soon and possible and warmly welcomed all the requests of the Street Child World Cup. The Secretary was invited to attend the Street Child World Cup in March 2014. More to follow…

Once again, Attenborough stunned the world with another incredible animal documentary which contained some seriously mind-blowing cinematography. In honour of such a fantastic series, why not compare your student self to some of the animals on the TV show? Here it goes:
  • THE INTROVERT - Snow Leopard

Like the snow leopard you enjoy leading a very solitary existance. You like to hide away in your room and keep to yourself because truth be told, you just enjoy your own company more than other students. You enjoy blending in and hate standing out from the crowd which makes you crepuscular.

  • THE high achiever - GOLDEN Eagle

Like the golden eagle, you are always determined and ready to dive straight in! Maybe not at 200mph in the fight for food but alternatively, you always give '110%' effort in to all of your university work. You will fight others of your kind in order to get the ultimate reward... The top marks!

  • THE JOKER - Raven

Like the ravens, you are ultimately jealous of the golden eagles success and love to pull at their feathers to put them off focus. You are the one that most commonly fools around in class and cracks the witty jokes. Often rated by your peers for making lectures a more enjoyable experience but slated by lecturers for not taking university as seriously as you should.

Like the glass frog, you are the master of disguising yourself from the competition. You are modest as you don't show off your abilities but use them when they are required, You also defend the people that you care about by willingly kicking the predator away from their prey.

  • THE LETHARGIC - Pygmy three toed sloth

Like the sloth, you are a bit slow and a bit lazy but also ready to do whatever it takes to win over the ladies. Whether that requires getting out of bed and walking across campus or swimming across a lake and climbing a few trees, you'll do it.

  • THE BOLD - marine iguanas

Like the marine iguana, when you were first a student you had to run from the fear of the pressure (snakes) but now you are much more settled. You made it over the rocky patch and came out the other side to become a far more chilled out iguana.

  • the sponge - Harvest mouse

Like the harvest mouse, you were graced with the abilities of having a super memory and good navigational skills. This means that you are even able to find your way home after a drunken night at the SU which amazes people.

  • the diffident - FOX

Like the fox, you are trying your very best to continue surviving, not so much for life in general but more so within your university life. However, you cannot keep burying your head in to the snow! You must hunt for the right quotations for the essay you are currently writing.

So you got off to a slow start, spending most of the first term (winter) asleep in your halls, but now you're ready to shed your duvet (or fur) and boogie on into Spring. Say yes to positive thinking!

  • THE ATTACHED - Flamingo

Like the flamingo, you and your uni friends are inseperable. You do uni work together, you live together, you socialise together... You could even get stuck in ice together and enjoy each others company.

Like the locust, every class of graduates sprout their wings after graduation and fly in to the wide world of jobdom (metaphorically of course) - watch out for the swarm. Replace 'food hunt' with 'job hunt' and you've nailed it.

Like the Hawesville turtle hatchling, you were taught from birth that you must make your way in to the sea (of success), you are ambitious and eager to complete your university targets and aims! However, you can sometimes be led off track by distractions such as the bright lights calling from the city.

Like the crab, you are waiting for the turtle hatchlings to fail, you hide in the sand and pop out to drag them down further by telling them about more uni work that needs to be completed. MEAN. This is usually the lecturers role...

International students planning for their study in New Zealand

How to Plan for Your Arrival

Indian scholarship student Neeraj didn’t have all the information available in one place to help him prepare when he was planning to study abroad. So, he's put together a series of four blog posts based on his experiences which he hopes will become a one-stop shop for potential students thinking about coming to New Zealand. This is the second in the series.

Second up are some of my top tips to help you plan for your trip to study in New Zealand.

1. Start applying

So, after all the brain-storming sessions with friends and family members, jotting down all the pros and cons and convincing them; it is time to start applying to any of the universities (outlined in Why I Chose to Study in New Zealand) for your preferred course.

Firstly, you will get a conditional offer letter and then on meeting those conditions, you will be provided with an unconditional offer letter stating confirmation of your place at the university.

2. Get Visa Ready

Once you have the confirmation of your place at university you can apply for your visa.

Refer to Immigration NZ for all the details regarding this:

Generally, if you are enrolled as a full-time student, you will be entitled to 20 hours of part-time work during studies and 40 hours of full-time during semester breaks and vacations.

3. Book flight tickets and pack your bags

Once you have your visa you can book your flight.

Generally, look for flights which provide close to 40kgs or 2 pieces of luggage (don’t forget you will be away from home for close to a year!). I found that Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific were the best options.

Try to pack as much as possible in your check-in bags (except for edibles) as those don’t get checked as often. When packing include clothes such as thermals, sweaters and a decent amount of clothes as getting those in NZ will generally be quite expensive.

4. Arrange accommodation

Finding a place to live is very important. These are some of the sites that will help you find homestay/flats in and around NZ:

Also check with your university as they will have their own accommodation options and other recommendations.

Beware: There are lots of fake websites out there, so do research your flats first and then transfer the money.

5. Declare everything on arrival

It is a good practice to declare all your edible items so that you don’t get caught for carrying anything illegal and made to pay thousands of dollars. Remember to always carry a medical prescription for your medicines.

Refer for further details: https://www.mpi.govt.nz/travel-and-recreation/arriving-in-new-zealand/items-to-declare/

6. Get an idea of your monthly expenditure

Apart from Auckland, other NZ cities are quite affordable to live in.

Refer for further details on the cost of your daily consumables: https://www.newzealandnow.govt.nz/living-in-nz/money-tax/comparable-living-costs

Topics in the Chapter

  • Overview
  • What Development Promises —Different People, Different Goals.
  • Income and Other Goals.
  • National Development.
  • How to Compare Different Countries or States?
  • Income and Other Criteria.
  • Public Facilities.
  • Sustainability of Development.

      (i) Perspectives on development.
        (ii) Common indicators for development.
          (iii) Method for measuring development.
            (iv)Concept of purchasing power parity.
              What Development Promises - Different People, Different Goals
                → Development promises a real growth by enhancing total income and standard of living of a person.

                → Different people have different development goals. The development goals are varying from people to people.

                → For example, a girl from a rich urban family gets as much freedom as her brother and is able to decide what she wants to do in life. She is able to pursue her studies abroad.
                  Income and Other Goals
                    → People prefer to earn more income for fulfilling their daily requirements of life. Companies provide material thing like, money. But people also want non-material thing like, freedom, security, and respect of others.

                    → Some companies provide less salary but offer regular employment which enhances sense of securities.

                    → In other case, some companies provide high salary but offer no job securities. They reduce sense of securities.
                      National Development
                        → National development refers to ability of a nation to improve standard of living of its citizens.

                        → Standards of living of citizens depend upon per capital income, Gross Domestic Product, literacy rate and availability of health etc. These factors also consider as measure of improvement.
                          How to Compare Different Countries or States?
                            → We can compare different countries or state on the basis of per capital income.

                            → We cannot take national income to compare different countries because each country has different population rate.

                            → Per capita income is calculated by dividing total income of a country to total population of that particular country.

                            → Per capita income of a country shows the standard of living of the citizens of that particular company.

                            → A country with higher per capita income is more developed than others with less per capita income.
                              Income and Other Criteria
                                → For achieving development goal of people, people not only want better income, they also want non-material thing like, freedom, security, and respect of others.

                                → For development of a nation average income or per capital income is needed.
                                  Per capita income of selected States

                                  As per table, Maharashtra had topest position with 1, 01,314 per capital income. Whereas, Bihar was in bottom position with 23,435 per capital income. It means a person in Maharashtra earned Rs 1, 01,314 in one year. Whereas, a person in Bihar earned only Rs 23,435 in one year. So, Maharashtra is more developed country than Bihar with 1, 01,314 per capital income.

                                  Comparative data on Maharashtra, Kerala and Bihar

                                  → Development of a nation is also depended upon literacy rate.

                                  • In this table, the first columns shows that in Kerala, out of 1000 children born, 12 died before completing one year of age but in Maharashtra , out of 1000 children born, 25 died before completing one year of age and in Bihar out of 1000 children born, 44 died before completing one year of age. The last columns shows that in Kerala, 78 children out of 100 aged 14-15 are not attending school beyond Class 8.Which is greater than Maharashtra and Bihar.

                                  Public Facilities

                                  → Facilities which are provided by the government considered as public facility like schools, hospitals, community halls, transport, electricity etc.

                                  → As we know that Punjab has more income than the average person in Kerala but Kerala has a low infant Mortality Rate because of better public system like, Public Distribution System which provide Health and nutritional status to the state.

                                  → We need public facility because we are not able to purchase all things by money. We cannot able to buy a pollution free environment with the help of money.

                                  Sustainability of Development

                                  → Sustainable Development refers to development of human with at the same time sustaining the ability of natural system.

                                  → It is helpful to fulfils the needs of the human being without harming the ability of the future generation.

                                  → For sustainable development, we have to use non-renewable resources like carbon based originally designed fuel for the quantity how much we needed.

                                  → Some renewable resources like groundwater will take long time for replenished. So, we should use that resource in finite quantity.

                                  • Infant Mortality Ratio: Infant Mortality Ratio indicates the number of children who die before the age of one year, as a proportion of 1000 live children born in that particular year.

                                  • Literacy Rate: Literacy Rate measures the proportion of literate population in the 7 and above age group.

                                  • Net Attendance Ratio: It is the total number of children of age group 14 and 15 years who attending school as a percentage of total number of children in the same age group.

Dating Timaya is my greatest regret in life – Actress, Ummi Ibrahim Zee-Zee

Want create site? Find Free WordPress Themes and plugins.

Dating Timaya is my greatest regret in life – Actress, Ummi Ibrahim Zee-ZeeKannywood actress from Borno state, Ummi Ibrahim Zee-Zee, revealed how dating Rivers born musician, Timaya is her greatest regret in life.

The actress who used to be a household name in the Kannywood movie industry for having featured in many blockbuster films also revealed other things about her personal life and career.

Kannywood was your window to the world but when you stopped acting, you hardly relate to Hausa film artists. Why?

It is true. But my policy is if you properly invite me for a marriage ceremony or any social outing I will honour it, but honestly, for now, I don’t have even female friends (kawaye). As for acting, haba! Zee-Zee has crossed the bridge. How much are you going to pay me for a role?

Who is your role model in Hausa film?

Well, late Aisha Dan-Kano was my favorite and late Rabilu Musa Dan-Ibro, we respected each other a lot. May Allah forgive their sins.

Tell us the most valuable accolade you have ever received

The award I won for featuring in a film called ‘Jinsi’. I got my nickname ‘Zee-Zee’ from the film because I was a character named: ‘Zee-Zee’ which Fati Washa was the lead actress. People were asking whether it was my film. It was not my film and the cars used in the film too were not mine. My cars used to have’ Zee-Zee’ as their special plate number. But of recent I use security cars that have no numbers.

You are most often spotted flaunting your long hair. Is it one of your selling points?

It is not true. Though you know I am shuwa/kanuri we have long hair and I am proud to display them but not always. Yet, I am a religious person. I read the Qur’an and Hadith and I try as much as possible to keep to the tenets of the religion. That is why if I am to come to this world again I want to still come as Ummi Ibrahim, a Muslim, a Nigerian.

What do your friends say about it?

I don’t even keep friends, male or female. I had boyfriend when I was in Kannywood before my controversial relationship with Timaya. But all is now history. I have found a love of my life now.

People say your riches are fake, what is the truth?

Wallahi, I am so rich that if somebody dashes me some millions I would not be as excited as one may think. I have enough money in the bank. Like you confirmed with my personal Assistant. I bought houses and cars for all my staff.

What is your favourite dish?

As a Kanuri lady, I like Tuwon Biski, fried meat and chicken. As for cooking, no I don’t cook. I have plenty staff around me that do that for me, so I don’t cook.

Any regrets in life?

Sometimes ago somebody was quoted as saying that I left Islam and converted to another religion because of my relationship with Timaya. I found it very difficult to believe. It was very much baseless and a mere allegation to tarnish my image. In fact in my entire life that is an incident I am finding it difficult to forget. I am a religious person. I love Islam and whenever I am free I read Hadith of the Holy Prophet a lot.

Any plan to settle down in the nearest future?

Honestly, I want to settle down before the year runs out and I am praying hard for that to happen. As you know, I have a person in mind and God knows best what is in stock for both of us.

Wise car care can carry you a long way

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

My first car, a 9-year-old, peeling-blue Ford I bought before my junior year in college, lasted me the two years I needed it to hold a part-time job until graduation.

Not bad considering I paid just $50 for the clunker, all I could afford. I also had to carry jugs of water in the car. Every five miles or so I had to stop, open the hood and pour water into the radiator so the engine wouldn't overheat.

After graduation, I sold the car for $35. I warned the buyer about the car's condition, but he let it overheat and die in the middle of downtown Miami three days later.

Caring well for our cars, my wife Georgina and I have had only five other automobiles combined in the 40 years since, from a red Volkswagen Beetle I bought new for $1,400 after I started working full time to our current silver Mercedes C-Class four-door sedan we bought in 2001.

Our mantra: Buy only cars we can comfortably pay with cash, keep up with the maintenance and follow common-sense steps to make them last.

The Volkswagen Beetle, alas, was going strong after more than 130,000 miles before copious rains that flooded our street knee-deep ruined it beyond repair. Our cars routinely break 100,000 miles, except a Toyota Corolla we donated to charity in 2003 when we realized that, working part time from home, we did not need two cars.

Along with home ownership costs, buying or leasing more cars than you can afford or need can derail your finances.

"Our family has withstood some potentially damaging events because we had lower expenses and higher savings than we would have had if we had bought the bigger house and the new cars throughout the years," wrote Nancy Howard of Dodgeville, Wis. After paying off a car loan, the Howards kept their car a few years while regularly saving an amount equal to the car payments. They were able to make a bigger down payment on the next car and eventually buy one for cash.

The magazine Consumer Reports, meanwhile, found that, with proper care, many cars today can last 200,000 miles or more with few if any major repairs. An annual survey by the magazine found 6,769 readers with 200,000 miles or more on their vehicles, including 488,000 for a 1994 Ford Ranger pickup. (See the October issue or go to the Web site www.ConsumerReports.org).

When comparing the costs of buying and keeping a car for 225,000 miles over 15 years to buying and financing an identical model every five years, Consumer Reports found savings could be more than the original purchase price, and even greater if the savings are invested.

Buying a car with a good track record is of course important, and the magazine, which does not accept advertising and is published by the not-for-profit Consumers Union, names several Honda, Lexus and Toyota models as good bets. But the magazine article and a Consumers Union news release also emphasize our make-them-last strategy.

Among the advice: Follow the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual (skipping even one oil change can damage the engine and accelerate wear). Use only parts and fluids meeting manufacturer specifications (we do while also shopping around for the repair and maintenance shop with the best combination of price and service). Check the car yourself from time to time, looking for fraying or cracks in belts, and cracks or bulges in hoses. And wash the car regularly, not just for looks but also to help preserve the paint and keep the sheet metal below it from rusting.

Riviera Beach Police Officer Roosevelt Lee shot Eugene Auguste in the torso in the Stony Brook apartment complex in the 1500 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. He was recuperating at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach. His injures were not life-threatening.

Officers were at the complex investigating a trespassing suspect when they heard gunshots and approached Auguste, according to the Sheriff's Office, which is investigating the police shooting.

Auguste faces a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm.

Search continues for pilot after plane goes missing

The search continued Sunday for the pilot of a West Palm Beach-bound plane that vanished Saturday off the Bahamas.

The U.S. Air Force joined the Coast Guard in the hunt for the single-engine plane about 50 miles northwest of Nassau, Coast Guard Petty Officer Barry Bena said.

The Coast Guard identified the pilot as Harris Sullivan, 68, of Port Richey. He is a registered commercial pilot and the owner of the missing Lancair IV four-seater.

The plane was headed for Palm Beach International Airport when it went missing after trying to avoid bad weather. Saturday night, the Coast Guard found an orange life raft about 35 miles northwest of Nassau believed to be from the plane.

It's time to wrap

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Given all the cool boats and marine accessories at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, you can easily wear yourself out looking at everything.

The 48th annual show, which opened Thursday at six sites and continues through Monday, has loads of 100-plus-foot yachts on display in the water in the Intracoastal Waterway, plus sportfishermen, cruisers, go-fast boats, center consoles, trawlers and inflatables.

There are engines and electronics, clothing and artwork ranging from oil paintings and sculptures to one of the neatest things I've ever seen at the show: a big center console with a colorful wrap featuring a marlin, a yellowfin tuna and a dolphin.

The wrap is on a Dusky 33 at the Dusky Marine display at Bahia Mar Yachting Center. The boat is owned by the Rod & Reel Club, which is a vacation club affiliated with the Bimini Big Game Club in the Bahamas. The club logo is on the sides of the boat, with the fish at the bow.

Tom Rowe of Dusky said that the wrap company that Dusky uses can put just about whatever you want on the side of your boat. Rowe is having his wife design a nighttime swordfishing scene for the side of his Dusky. He said the wrap company can incorporate photos into your wrap or put a camouflage wrap on the Lowe johnboats that Dusky sells to duck hunters.

"They say within four years, if you pull off the wrap, the hull's in perfect shape," said Rowe, adding that if you leave the wrap on longer, it takes some effort to remove it. If the wrap tears, Rowe said it can easily be repaired by replacing the torn section. And while you have the wrap on your boat, you don't have to wax the hull.

Mike Brown of Dusky said the wrap on the 33-footer cost about $4,000. Those who want to wrap their boats would bring it to Dusky to be measured, then bring it back when the wrap is ready and have the wrap applied.

The Rod & Reel Club's Dusky 33s are provided by the club for the use of those who buy a week at the resort. According to Ted Dansberger, those who purchase a 15-year membership get one week at the resort, which includes a room at the Big Game Club's hotel, the use of a golf cart and the boat, which is outfitted with fishing tackle, so all you need to do is show up. Flats boats also will be available. And the Big Game Club will still be open for those who come over on their own boats or fly in and want to stay there.

Besides wraps, the other new thing at Dusky is the XF edition of its 20-, 23- and 25-foot boats. Brown said the boats feature "a nice basic package" with a low price geared to entry-level boaters.

"We keep it simple," Brown said, explaining that the boats have a light canvas T-top and a little smaller console. Instead of putting one large outboard on the back of the 233 XF at the show, Dusky has twin 115-horsepower Evinrude E-Tecs.

Those looking for a high-performance boat can check out the Hideaway Marina display at Bahia Mar, where the Outerlimits 46 Limited and the 42 Legacy are in the water. An SV40, a no-frills race boat that has a five-step hull and can do 138 mph, is on land across from the entrance to the Swimming Hall of Fame.

The 46 Limited has a pair of Mercury 850 SCi engines and can run 111 mph, according to Pierre Gaudreau of Hideaway, which is in Pompano Beach. Gaudreau's wife, Danielle, designed a Las Vegas theme for the poker run boat, with a pair of dice at the bow and under the engine hatch, Outerlimits chips and a blackjack hand forward of the helm - an ace and a jack wearing sunglasses.

Outerlimits boats, which are built in Bristol, R.I., have carbon fiber decks and are laminated with epoxy and then baked in an oven, which makes them light and extremely strong. The cabin on the 46 Limited features a full-size head that you can stand up in and a touch-screen multiplex system that controls the electronics in the boat, the lights and air conditioning.

The helm has a steering wheel that can be changed from the starboard side of the boat to the middle of the helm.

No matter what type of boat you drive, if you want to look good while in it, you should check out Capt. Harry's Fishing Supply booth at Bahia Mar. There'll you find Costa Del Mar polarized sunglasses, which eliminate glare to help you see where you're going.

You'll also find lots of clothing, such as Hook & Tackle Air-X fishing shirts. Marco Polo shorts by Weekender, a brother company to Hook & Tackle, are made of water-repellent, quick-drying, stain-resistant nylon and feature 10 pockets, three with zippers and the rest with hook and loop fasteners. Those looking for a slightly shorter pair of shorts can buy the 100-percent cotton Baja shorts.

One of the most popular items Thursday at Capt. Harry's, which also has an array of fishing rods, reels and footwear, was the 100-percent silk Luau Collection shirt, which features a parrot embroidered on the back with the words, "Lose The Cracker! Polly Wants A Drink."

The Journey of an African American Faith Community

Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church of Harrisburg, 1835 - 2015

Throughout its history, the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church of Harrisburg has been a critical link in the chain of places, people, and events that bind and strengthen Pennsylvania's quest for equity, parity, and social justice. Along the Bethel Trail is an anthology of articles by area authors, scholars and humanists that guides readers through the history of this resilient congregation in relationship to the legacy and impact on the community that it serves. Each contributing author writes of a specific historical period and geographic site where the church was located. From that vantage point, the authors explore the social and civic engagement of the congregation and its leadership in time and place, as the church and surrounding communities were continuously uprooted to make room for the expanding state capitol complex. Together their articles frame the impact of the church and congregation on the development of Harrisburg's diverse community. The combined articles also articulate the struggle of Harrisburg's African-American community for economic development, sustainability, and a sense of place over the past 180 years.

The anthology of articles supports the eight paneled interpretive signage and self-guided experience along Harrisburg’s Bethel Trail. Discover the location of Bethel’s first church at the current Amtrak station, key 19th century sites at Harrisburg’s Forum, Fountain, and Justice buildings along Commonwealth Ave, its 20th century site at 6th and Herr and Bethel’s current 21st century home in midtowns at 1721 N.5th street.

Humans of Hennepin County Library

I’ve been coming to this library since I was a child, with my parents and my sister. I remember there were lots of different aisles and you could get lost. My sister and I used to play hide-and-seek. There were puppets and fun things to play with. My mom would read aloud to us and then we would also do silent reading.

Around eighth or ninth grade, I started volunteering here. By tenth grade, I decided I wanted to be a librarian. I talked to one of the head librarians and she connected me with Nina, the youth librarian. Ever since then I’ve been doing intern work, shadowing her during the summers.

I’m currently getting my Master’s of Library Science degree at St. Catherine’s University. I’m also getting my certification as a School Media Library Specialist, which is a certification so I can be in a school.

There’s a lot that goes into being a librarian that people don’t realize. They think it’s just shelving books and reading stories. But there are a lot of different roles that they take on. There are librarians in a law office. How else would lawyers get information about their cases? There are librarians in prisons. How else would prisoners get information about different ways to appeal their case without people doing the research for them and helping them? People think you can find everything on the internet, but there’s so much out there that you really can’t.

Miller's Run Dice

Miller's Run Dice Rob Mousley/

Conditions looked pretty good: South South East wind blowing 27-33kt and no big swell.

But when we started the runs were so small, and somewhat messy that it didn't look like being a Personal Best kind of day, and I figured that I'd just take it easy and enjoy catching and working the runs as much as possible.

And that's what I was doing - my heart rate was low, I was focussed on using minimum effort to stay on the runs when...  one of my paddling buddies, Jono Niemann, came storming past as we approached the lighthouse on Roman Rock.

Jono and I have had dices before - most recently on the day a few weeks ago when I achieved my best time ever for the Miller's Run... On that occasion we'd been blasting along together when he disappeared just before Fish Hoek.  Turned out that he too was closing in on a record time, when he fell out of his boat.  He was very bleak!

In the video you can see that my heart rate (and breathing!) escalate drammatically as he comes past!  I slowed briefly to capture him on video coming past the lighthouse, but after that it was no-holds-barred!

I didn't capture it but as we came into Fish Hoek, I was just ahead... but he put a sequence together at Sunny Cove and blew past me again, so I think the honours went to him - although he peeled off to the right to land at Fish Hoek Beach Sports Club about 100m further up the beach.

But what a day.  That was my 126th Miller's Run since January last year - and it never gets boring.

Suffering Foot or Ankle Pain or Discomfort?

Common Disorders

Chemical Neurolysis for the Treatment of Neuromas

The chemical destruction of the nerve, called neurolysis, is an older form of treatment that has recently come back into vogue. This treatment requires a series of injections of ethanol mixed with a local anesthetic. The injections are given into the area of the neuroma. Nerve tissue has a natural affinity for ethanol, and it is readily absorbed into the nerve. Ethanol, however, is toxic to nerve tissue and with repeated exposure, will destroy the nerve. The rate of success is variable, but has been reported to be over 60%. Many insurance plans will not pay for weekly injections and require the doctor to wait a minimum of ten days between injections before they will reimburse for the procedure. This likely reduces the rate of success for this treatment, because during the time between the injections, the nerve will attempt to repair itself. One way to solve this delay is for the patient to pay for those injections not paid for by the insurance plan. The disadvantages for this form of treatment are the need for repeated visits to the doctor’s office, and the occasional pain in the area of the injection the following day or two after it has been administered. The advantages to this form of treatment is that it requires a minimal amount of time off of work and the overall cost as compared to the surgical removal of the nerve. If this form of treatment fails, then surgical removal is the only option that remains.

Perfect textiles for maritime needs

swela Maritiem

Versatile and only the best quality

Maritime fabrics from swela combine long-standing know-how in relation to sun protection and outdoor textiles with the special requirements of the maritime boat world. In addition, this collection benefits from the expertise and the development department at Schmitz-Werke, which focuses on progress. Certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, the Maritime Collection is durable, resistant to rot and weatherproof, tear-resistant, shape-retentive and bactericidal – what more can you ask for?

swela Hightech-Fasern

High-tech fibres

High-tech fibres make swela fabrics robust, long-lasting and breathable textiles.

swela SFC-Ausrüstung

SFC coating

The maritime SFC coating makes the textiles dirt, grease and oil repellent. They are bactericidal, hardly absorb any water, dry faster and stay nicer for longer.

swela dimensionsstabil

Dimensionally stable

Dimensional stability and sustained stretching ability prevent the formation of water pockets – that is something that swela maritime promises.

swela wetterbeständig

Besides salt water, the challenges for textiles used on the high seas are extreme. Strong wind, lots of rain, mixed with strong sunshine – our textiles are equipped to cope with the elements.

Boat covers

Without doubt, maritime covers are the textiles that have to be able to withstand the most. Constantly exposed to the wind and weather, there is no room for compromises in quality here.

Potential products

Bimini tops

If you would like to rate the quality of bimini tops, the best indicator is the behaviour of the fabric when it is constantly exposed to sunlight. But perfect stretching ability is crucial too.

Winter tarpaulins

Since winter tarpaulin is supposed to provide protection, it has to be capable of certain things. Rain, wind, even snow and ice, should not leave any lasting marks. Quality and durability are prerequisites.

Recommended products

Boom cover

Very robust and extremely weatherproof mast tarpaulin made of UV-resistant and breathable fabric is essential for the longevity of your boat. You do not have to make any compromises with our fabrics.

Potential products

Console covers

In order to protect important electronic and mechanical parts, a fabric has to be very good at keeping moisture outside. Our recommended fabrics are definitely the right choice for this requirement.

Potential products

Upholstery fabrics

The mixture of durable quality and beautiful designs make our recommended fabrics the perfect materials for upholstery requirements on boats. These high-quality features and the quality make swela the first choice.

Railing protection

Without neglecting the decorative factor, finding the best quality for these fabrics, which are in continuous use, should be ensured. It can also be the small details that determine the premium aspect of a boat.

Will Syracuse basketball's rivalry with Georgetown come to a close after Saturday?

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Is the future of the Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry in jeopardy?

The ACC, the league that raided the Big East for Syracuse along with several other schools back in 2013, could threaten to end the old Big East feud with its move to a 20-game conference schedule in the 2019-20 season.

The ACC's decision to go from 18 to 20 league games means that each school will play two games against conference opponents in November and December. That change will cause some schools to adjust their non-conference schedules.

"TV wants these two games,'' Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said recently. "OK. You'll get those two games, but next year Syracuse won't play Villanova and St. John's. Why would I do that? You're going to get something, but you're going to lose something, too.''

Boeheim didn't mention Georgetown, but he may as well have. Villanova and St. John's aren't on Syracuse's schedule this year. Georgetown, however, is.

The Hoyas (7-1) will travel to Syracuse this Saturday for a game against the Orange (6-2) at the Carrier Dome.

Saturday's game is the last in a four-game series that the two schools agreed to upon Syracuse's departure from the Big East.

In a telephone interview on Tuesday, Georgetown coach Patrick Ewing said he hoped to continue the series.

"I've reached out to Coach Boeheim and told him we'd like to continue it,'' Ewing said. "We will see. I think it's something that's great for both schools. It's great for us to keep the old rivalry burning and it's great for them to see an old foe as well.''

Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack said officials from the two schools have had "preliminary conversations'' about putting together a new series.

In addition to the ACC's expanded 20-game schedule, Syracuse plays in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge each season. Syracuse also regularly appears in early season tournaments such as the 2K Empire Classic this year and the NIT Season Tip-Off next season.

"It just makes non-conference scheduling a more complicated puzzle,'' Wildhack said.

The two old foes, once standard-bearers of the Big East, might meet again, but the rivalry's hardly the same.

There are still symbols of the old Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry.

Boeheim still stomps and contorts on the Syracuse sideline, just as he did back in the early days of the Big East Conference.

And Ewing has taken up the coaching mantle of his former mentor, Georgetown legend John Thompson. Ewing, in his second year as the Georgetown coach, strikes a figure that's just as imposing as that of Big John.

But while absence may make the heart grow fonder, a rivalry is stoked by the enemy's constant presence.

Syracuse and Georgetown played each other at least twice a season from 1980 to 1996. From four straight years from 1983 to 1986, the two met three times -- twice in the regular and once in the Big East Tournament.

In 1997, the two rivals met just once due to the Big East's expansion.

In Syracuse's final year in the Big East, the two foes met three times, including a memorable Syracuse victory in the Big East semifinals.

"It's different when you're not in the same league, but it's still a big game,'' Boeheim said after SU's win over Northeastern. "It's a good game. It's an important game. But once you're not in the same league and you're not playing all the different, it's different.''

How long will the embers burn? How long will the two schools continue to schedule each other in non-conference contests? The rivalry's future is in jeopardy.

Square Trim Brushes - Power Brushes

Our Square Trim brushes are manufactured with a high concentration and uniform wire fill, resulting in stiffer construction equal to bench mounted wheels, eliminating the need for reverse shanks.

Available in carbon steel in various diameters and sizes, the brushes are made with ¼" shank for easy installation on portable or stationary tools. The maximum suggested RPM is 4,500.

Square Trim brushes are ideal for cleaning internal areas especially removing fine burrs from cross-drilled holes. They are also used to clean and polish corners and irregular shaped surfaces.
