Mouse that roared: Disney characters win local union shakeup

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The mouse that roared was heard.
Months after workers who play Mickey Mouse, Goofy and other characters at Walt Disney World threatened to leave the Teamsters union because of what they called "horrible misrepresentation," General President James Hoffa appointed two associates Monday to take over the local union.
A letter from Hoffa was posted to the doors of the Local 385 union hall in Orlando, Florida, saying he had begun a process known as trusteeship. Local 385 represents costumed character-performers, truck drivers and other Walt Disney World workers.
Hoffa promised to send resources to help the local union right itself, writing "it is regrettable that circumstances have reached this point."
Ralph Singer, a Disney World truck driver, said union members were "ecstatic" about the trusteeship.
"Enough people complained, and they made a great decision," Singer said. "Hopefully, they will clean house."
Teamsters spokeswoman Kara Deniz said an election will be held within 18 months so members can choose new leaders.
Separately, investigators with another, independent Teamsters office have said in court filings that they are scrutinizing allegations that Local 385's leaders created false records and committed embezzlement and obstruction. No charges have been filed.
Clay Jeffries, Local 385's president, didn't respond to an email seeking comment.
The 9,000 members of Local 385 have key roles in central Florida's tourism and transportation industries. About half are Disney workers; the rest include UPS drivers, hotel employees, food service workers, rental car employees and other drivers across 20 Florida counties.
The costumed character-performers have been Teamsters members since the early 1980s. But nearly two-thirds of the 1,000 performers at Disney World signed a petition to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters earlier this year, threatening to leave.
Among the complaints was that Local 385 leaders made a deal with Disney World officials to cut out 20 or so workers from being covered by the union. Union members also said Local 385 leaders had been unresponsive to grievances by members seeking help against the companies they worked for.
In March, Hoffa ordered a hearing in Orlando where union members were able to voice their complaints to leaders with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
In his letter on Monday, Hoffa noted that the local union had lost more than 500 members since 2017 and that the hundreds of Disney workers were threatening to leave. Hoffa said he had asked Local 385's leaders to respond to the allegations but they never responded.
A Disney spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

REVIEW: Vauxhall Grandland X
A grand day out
These days it feels like new cars are essentially huge gadgets in their own right. Therefore it makes total sense for us to recently have taken delivery of Vauxhall's latest SUV; a car so packed with tech it could put the starship Enterprise to shame. We check out the Vauxhall Grandland X.
To be more precise, we had the Vauxhall Grandland X Elite Nav edition, as there are several versions of the Grandland X depending on what kind of tech package you opt for. This beast also now holds the title for most expensive thing we've yet reviewed, costing a not insignificant £27,105.
The car itself is a sleek SUV, which although being an American term for a beefy saloon car, we actually found it to be refreshingly compact, despite those 19 inch alloys. It seats five, boasts a fairly spacious boot, and comes in a tonne of colours (ours was gold. Gangsta!).
The Vauxhall Grandland X feels like the emphasis has been placed very firmly on comfort and practicality. The leather interior was a delight to park a bum on, and the heated seats and steering wheel made long drives at night a pleasure. In terms of the handling, it always felt very securely anchored to the road, and although not an overly speedy vehicle, it had a luxurious sense to it, as if it wasn't an SUV at all, but rather a sleeker coupe.
However, our real interest in reviewing this thing was for the gadgets. The Vauxhall Grandland X uses the same OnStar In-Car info and entertainment system that we reviewed a couple of years ago in an Astra Sports Tourer. Do check out that review to get the full details, but the headlines remain that the system works incredibly well at keeping you entertained and safe. The OnStar can project a WiFi hotspot, uses Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect to your phone, as well as being an eight inch touch screen for navigation, environment controls, and a screen for the cameras.
Yep, this car has cameras. There is a very handy rear parking cam to make backing up easier (it springs to life automatically as soon as you engage reverse), and also a 360 immersive cam to give you a top-down view of the obstacles around you. It's awesome, and genuinely helpful.
You're also well placed for charging options, because as well as the standard 12V car power sockets, you get two USB ports up front, two more in the back, and also a full-sized UK three-pin plug socket. Wasn't expecting that. In the Elite Nav edition you also get a unique wireless phone charger in the divider between driver and passenger. It seems like a standard Qi-enabled charger, and worked with all the phones we tested it with (that have wireless charging built-in). It was nice to be able to simply drop a phone into it at the start of the journey, knowing it would be juiced up by the time we arrived.
Outside the car you get adaptive LED lighting, which will automatically change intensity depending on your driving conditions, and driver assistance such as lane departure and forward-collision warnings. It all just works, which is reassuring.
Reassuring is a feeling we got throughout our time with the Vauxhall Grandland X, with the beefy frame and clever tech working together to keep you feeling safe. You simply get the impression that you're safer in this car, and we enjoyed every moment in it.

This article deals with methodological considerations of material culture and identity, using primarily evidence from Archaic Sicily, where Greeks and indigenous peoples interacted closely at this time. Identities are complex and multilayered and not easy to identify using only material culture, with its inherently ambivalent character. Therefore additional sources and methods (natural sciences, literary and visual sources) are necessary to detect »identity markers« which have left their traces of social life. In this chapter we explore briefly changes in interpretations regarding the relationship between social identities and material culture in the spheres of writing, architecture, art, coinage, and religious practices.

"Surprising as it may be, I am in complete agreement with every point you make in this essay. The fact this is so, given our notherwise wildly divergent political and economic beliefs is important. It is important because it demonstrates a common, foundational ground from which to build. I forget the original French, but the old saying "the more things change the more they remain the same" seems surely to apply here.

There are many therapists who offer therapy for a low cost or even for free. Some people will go to therapy alone, but many people prefer to go with a partner.
This is because it helps to have someone else to talk to, who can offer insight into the situation. It is always best to find a therapist who specializes in the type of therapy that you need.
Individual and couples therapy are both effective methods of therapy that can help people with a variety of problems. However, each type of therapy has its own advantages and disadvantages.
In general, individual therapy is better for people who have very strong personalities and who have a hard time opening up to others.
On the other hand, couples therapy is better for people who are having a hard time communicating their feelings and emotions to one another.
It is important to understand the differences between individual and couples therapy and choose the type that is best for your needs.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever clicked on a link in a advert, on social media, or in a blog post, and been taken to the home page of a website with no clue how to find what interested you in the first place? You saw a link embedded in content that made you take an action, but that initial surge of interest was wasted.
That's why custom landing pages are so important. Without a custom page tailored to the specific needs of a campaign, opportunities to convert are wasted. The ideal journey should be from interest, to engagement, to conversion. At no point on that journey should leads be made to work so they can move to the next stage. If they are, the conversion funnel will leak at every stage.
Custom landing pages give site owners the opportunity to display the right content at the right time.
What does a great custom landing page look like?
There's no one-size-fits-all template for creating effective landing pages, but there are components that all good landing page share.
Prominent calls-to-action. A call to action is a short piece of copy that encourages a lead to take an action. Usually a CTA pithily expresses a value proposition and suggests an action that can be taken to realise that value: "Sign up here for a 10% discount".
Short, relevant copy. Writing effective landing page copy is an art, but the basic idea is to describe a product and its benefits to the lead. It's the copy that sells the product. Although most landing pages use short-form copy, there are many examples of landing sites that take the opposite route, including the one in the above images. When in doubt, keep it short, but don't be afraid to go long-form if it fits the product and the campaign.
Lead-generation forms. The primary purpose of landing pages is to collect leads, and embedding a lead generation form into the landing page allows leads to express an interest immediately.
Visual impact. Effective landing pages take advantage of video, product images, and design to deliver information and display the product in a positive light.
WordPress users can easily deploy custom landing pages and use links to those pages in marketing campaigns. You don't need anything in addition to WordPress' default capabilities to create custom landing pages, but there is some benefit to using a plugin that offers functionality to help you build the most effective pages.
One of the best free landing page plugins is WordPress Landing Pages, which lacks some of the features of its premium peers, but has everything you need to build effective landing pages, including a visual editor, custom landing page themes, conversion rate tracking, and simple A/B testing.
Among the premium cohort, Optimizely offers a comprehensive array of inbound marketing features, including themes and custom elements from which you can build landing pages. Optimizely is a feature rich inbound marketing platform with a focus on split testing and experimentations, something that's key to building landing pages that actually work.
Whether or not you choose to use a premium plugins or go it alone with WordPress' basic page-making features, creating custom landing pages is an essential step towards increased conversions.

I'm using *vanilla* 2.6.35 kernel.
Ah, I found the problem.
The "quiet" mount option is translated to the MS_SILENT mount flags. Unfortunately, MS_SILENT is undefined in mount private header files (it still uses obsolete MS_VERBOSE). In your system the MS_SILENT macro is probably defined in /usr/include/sys/mount.h so the code that translate the "quiet" options is enabled.
The another problem is that mount(8) uses the "quiet" for MS_SILENT mount flag and the same option (as string) is expected by vfat kernel driver... that's mess. I need to ask VFS hackers for more details.
And the bug is still there.
Sorry, for the delay. I'm going to resolve the problem ASAP.
Fixed in upstream tree, commit 2ac1890aa0d8ce404528587134fcabe0e2834963. I'll add the bugfix to Fedora-15.


Lucy engages in many forms of writing, from poetry to film scripts. As a journalist, she is currently head of research for a company specialising in architectural news.
In the theatre, productions of Lucy's work range from cabaret comedy material set in nightclubs to large-scale performances in the grounds of a castle. Whatever the style of script, she is drawn to strong stories and memorable characters with the potential to shed light on the questions facing us today.
Among these diverse styles, Lucy is an expert in modern blank verse. Well-received by audiences and critics alike, her work in this form has demonstrated an epic scope, while still putting contemporary concerns at the heart of the drama. Her approach to remoulding the Shakespearean form has gained academic attention, including a workshop of one of her scripts at the Cambridge University Shakespeare Conference.
Reflecting the global reach of classic forms, Lucy was involved in a cross-cultural experiment between the UK and China, which included Chinese students adapting Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Lucy edited the adaptation and created new blank verse for the script, which was performed in both countries. Read more on the project at the Timeout Shanghai website here.
Lucy's interest in architecture and her previous experiences in the commercial world led her to co-found Moving Pictures Theatre, a company formed to bring about the rebirth of classic plays in the great halls and castles where they were originally performed. The productions will made accessible to all through filming for cinema, TV and digital distribution.

TNS Launches 4G Roaming Support for Mobile POS Terminals
March 13, 2018 09:03 AM Eastern Daylight Time
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global 4G roaming coverage for mobile point-of-sale (POS) terminals has become more accessible today thanks to the launch of an enhanced solution from Transaction Network Services (TNS).
TNS' Global Wireless Access (GWA) solution can now support 4G roaming in more than 60 countries around the world. The Internet of Things (IoT) solution for POS terminals provides comprehensive international coverage and is currently used by retailers and deployers of large POS terminal estates in more than 35 countries across Europe, the Asia Pacific region and the Americas.
John Tait, Managing Director of TNS' FinTech Solutions business across the Asia Pacific region, said: "We are delighted to be making 4G roaming coverage readily available for POS terminals. The ongoing shutdown of 2G and 3G networks is being compounded by a reduction in 3G network capacity as spectrum is reallocated to 4G. This introduces significant uncertainty for terminal owners who are presented with the growing possibility that their mobile terminals might not be able to connect and accept vital customer payments.
"Wireless terminal providers, owners and users need to deploy 4G terminals now as they can no longer guarantee 3G coverage where it has previously been available. TNS' GWA solution supports the latest terminals and can help merchants benefit from 4G speeds which make point-of-sale transactions faster, provide better customer service and enhanced efficiency. With GWA they can also dedicate more time to their core selling activities."
TNS now supports more than 500,000 POS and ATM SIMs globally. Its GWA solution has been specifically designed for the needs of the payments industry to simplify the deployment and management of wireless POS terminals. In-country domestic roaming minimizes coverage blackspots, while direct connectivity to the TNS network allows merchants to access hundreds of acquirers and processors.
Mr Tait said: "We have created GWA to alleviate the pain points which merchants face. An advanced SIM management and diagnostics portal allows SIMs to be provisioned quickly and easily, and users can view and make changes in real time. The combination of strongest signal connectivity and data roaming provides maximum availability for POS terminals and the optional Roam+ application gives fully flexible network carrier selection based on the quality of the data connection to the TNS network."
GWA supports pre-activated SIMs and allows bulk provisioning of SIMs, which contributes significantly to simplifying SIM management and lowering total cost of ownership. Customers also benefit from a single supplier relationship with TNS with one contract and one bill to manage, regardless of where the POS terminals are deployed.
Founded in 1990, TNS has expanded to provide services across Europe, the Americas and the Asia Pacific regions. The organization has secured a strong payments heritage and is a Level 1 PCI DSS certified service provider and a global board member of the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA). TNS' secure network is supported 24x7x365 by multiple Network Operating Centers around the world. For more information about TNS, please visit www.tnsi.com.

To answer the challenge set out by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, start by leveraging your community investment and employee volunteer programme.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have an important focus on partnerships and have a vital function to achieve peace and development in the coming years. Partners in the private sector are certainly major stakeholders, and their involvement is now expanding much beyond charity. The private sector has a wealth of knowledge, expertise and implementation capacity that must be leveraged to find development solutions.
There is an increased awareness and shift from companies to move away from isolated CSR and have a more integrated approach to sustainable business. But when it comes to their community investment and volunteering, many still look at it from an internal perspective e.g a fun group activity, supporting team spirit while doing good in the community. Most of us probably participated in community tree planting or supported bake sale for to send students build school in some far land countries. Unfortunately very often limited attention is given to understanding the complexity of the development challenges they are trying to address and how best the skills of the employee could be leveraged to support that process.
One private sector partner of ours was telling me, "the day I realized I was spending CSR resources for employees to build houses when they have no idea and skills on how to build houses but that I have some of the best IT people in my team, it completely changed by CSR vision and programme".
I think there are two underlying assumptions that sometimes limit organizations from understanding the full potential of leveraging employee volunteering. The first one is assuming that because of the positive nature of volunteering (based on good will – to benefit others and with no expectation of financial remuneration) it will automatically have a positive impact. Regrettably, good intentions with volunteering can also turn into negative or untended consequences. The second one is that organizations should always be grateful for employee volunteers. But sometimes, activities are not really meaningful to them and can generate more work than benefits for receiving organizations.
Here are some of the initiatives you can do to start leveraging your community investment and employee volunteer programme for longer and meaningful impact.
Align your programme to broader development vision and target specific development needs. The SDGs provide a vision and framework for all actors and citizens to align and contribute to a sustainable future for people and planet. Generate a discussion between your employees and your partners on the SDGs and how does it relate to community/national/partners needs. Discuss how best skills from the company can be leveraged to support those needs.
Apply the same level of standards used in your core business. Planning and implementing employee volunteering uses resources, just like your usual operations in business. Then, think what impact you want to bring through volunteering. Apply the same level of standards to volunteering efforts as for your core business, and take time to analyse the expected outcome for your company and the community.
Diversify your types of engagement to enhance a long-term and sustainable commitment. There are various ways of volunteering: people can work in the country where your offices are located or can be in different countries, and they can also provide online support. One of the challenges for the organizations receiving volunteers is often the limited time employees have available on for the assignment. Longer term collaboration using online and onsite support can build longer term relationship and more meaningful impact. The online volunteering service is an excellent place to start!
Think about leveraging your broader network. Your assets are sitting within but also outside your company. Your network is a huge asset which can be leverage for impact. CISCO is working with UNV on mobilizing its CISCO Academy Students to support innovation work with UN projects and programmes. This provides an opportunity to support concrete development initiatives while for their graduate, an opportunity of getting a better understanding of development issues and challenges.
Put efforts in raising awareness, preparing volunteers and asses results of programmes. Include the process for your employees to understand the larger picture of the assignment, briefing the context of the issue, challenges, and culture of the community. Partnership with NGOs or UN agencies can be effective to understand those challenges and complexity of the issues. Assess the impact of corporate volunteering to inform future direction of your company volunteering efforts.
Achieving the SDGs is a not a nice to have but a must do to secure a future for our planet and the future generations that will call it home. The SDGs call for engaging all partners and citizens' knowledge and creativity. If the same drive which supports the corporate core business needs is applied to community investment, we can really create win-win results for all partners and the beneficiaries and generate sustainable impact.

Video content is becoming increasingly more popular nowadays and not only is it a great way to provide your audience with valuable content but it is also an amazing marketing tool in its own right. Of course, to reap those rewards you need to create the content in the first place – and make sure that it is attractive and professional-looking to boot.
Start by thinking about the content that you intend to create and planning it out, scene-by-scene. Ideally you should script it so that you know at any given point in time what is going to be shown on the screen along with the voiceover that's going to accompany it.
Recording the video footage that you need should be simple enough, particularly if you're using software such as the Movavi Screen Capture Studio where you just need to follow the process outlined at: www.movavi.com/support/how-to/how-to-capture-video-from-site.html.
No matter how hard you try, the video that you record probably isn't going to be perfect on the first take – and so editing will be necessary. It may be enough to enhance the quality of the video and correct some of the issues with it, or you may need to record multiple takes and then cut and combine video segments to get a 'final cut'.
Part of what makes some videos look a lot more professional and attractive than others is the polish or production-value that goes into them. Small things often count for a lot in this regard, and you should consider adding background music and inserting subtitles as a start. If you want to dig deeper you could also explore the possibility of adding stylish transitions between scenes or using special effects and filters to transform the visual appearance of your video.
While this may sound a bit beyond your skill set, using the Movavi Screen Capture Studio will make it all extremely straightforward. With it you'll have all the tools you need to record, edit, and polish your videos so that they really do look professional. Some of those features include the ability to cut and combine video segments, enhance the video quality, add special effects and filters, insert customizable text, and even optimize videos for any device or platform.
Long story short you should have everything you need to really create video content that can help you to attract a wider audience of loyal viewers. Give it a try for yourself and you'll see that it doesn't take much to learn how to use it.


Okyeame Kwame is an inspiration to young artists and business-people from all walks of life. The outspoken Ghanaian is revered in the country's music industry and has signed multiple endorsement deals since he went solo about five years ago. Okyeame Kwame net worth has been a subject of speculation over recent years as the rapper continues to soar to prominence while still influencing modern Ghanaian music. Here is a brief bio of the Rap Doctor as well as his updated net worth for 2019.
The rapper recently signed multiple endorsements with prominent brands such as Coca-Cola and was the second artist to get signed by MTN in Ghana. While most people would rather spend their money on maintaining a high-class lifestyle, Okyeame opts to give back to the community through charitable courses.
There is currently no information on Okyeame Kwame net worth Forbes. However, Okyeame Kwame net worth 2019 is $1.1 billion. There are only a few African artists, let alone rappers, who can claim to have such an astonishing amount of money. However, Okyeame Kwame net worth 2019 does not come as a surprise considering the artist is always working on his craft while attracting brands and non-governmental corporations that fuel his passion outside music such as health and climate change.
Okyeame Kwame was born on April 17, 1970, as Kwame Nsaia-Apau. He is also popularly known as the Rap Doctor and hails from Kumasi in Ghana's Ashanti region. Apart from rapping, Okyeame also sings and writes songs for other artists. His other talents include acting and loves participating in philanthropy. He is married to Annica Nsaia-Apau who also doubles down as Okyeame's manager. The Rap Doctor has five other siblings, and according to his parents, their son was to become a doctor as opposed to a rapper.
Two of his brothers, Kwaku Nsiah Amankwah alias 'Kunta Kinte' and Kwaku Nsiah Boamah popularly known as 'Stone' are also performing artists. The two formed a duo called Bradez and were nominated for multiple awards especially in 2010 after releasing songs such as Dondoo, Simple and most recently My Girl to mention a few.
Okyeame Kwame's interest in rap music started at an early age, and despite his parent's suggestion that he pursue a degree in medicine, the rapper opted to study Music and linguistics. Okyeame specialized in classical guitar and graduated as a linguist from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. He later joined the University of Ghana to pursue a Masters in Strategic Marketing.
Before joining University, Okyeame was a student at Kumasi's Anglican Senior High School.
Okyeame started writing music at an early age, but his rise to fame came when he was part of a rap duo called Akyeame. The other member of the group is called Daniel Kofi Amoateng or by his stage name, Okyeame Kofi. The duo recorded four albums from 1997 to 2002 before officially parting ways in the year 2004. The albums include Nyansapo or Witty Knot which was recorded in 1997, Nkonsonskonson meaning Shackles (1998), Ntoaso or Continuity (2000), and Apam Foforo or New Testament (2002).
Okyeame Kwame started his record label, One Mic Entertainment, and has been the flagship artist for the company for over a decade. He has also included both high life and Hiplife artists from Ghana such as Daddy Lumba, Ofori Amponsah, and Kojo Antwi just to mention a few, in his singles since going solo and has even signed some of them to his label.
As a rapper, controversy is almost sure to follow you wherever you go especially if you make it big and Okyeame Kwame is no exception. After winning the Ghana Music Awards in 2009, the Rap Doctor found himself on the warpath with fellow Ghanaian musician Michael Kwabena Okyere Darko popularly known as Obrafour. Sparks started flying after Okyeame declared himself the Best Rapper Alive and even released a song with the acronym BRA (Best Rapper Alive).
This declaration did not go well with Obrafour who was also doing well at the time despite having not won the prestigious Artist of the Year Award. The beef escalated quickly, and Obrafour even challenged Okyeame Kwame for a rap battle in the street to which the latter never showed. Kwame allegedly refused to show up because he felt winning the Artist of the Year Award was vindictive enough.
It's Obrafour who had a feud with me. I have positioned the Okyeame Kwame brand as the decent rapper arguably who gives value to patrons. How else can I get to show patrons that it is decent? Unless in the face of adversary. So Obrafour coming out to make those pronouncements was opportunity for me to prove I'm a gentleman. So I realized he wanted a comeback and I wondered why as an artist he would hit me and Obuor for a comeback. But I realized it wasn't personal, it was business. So I asked myself how I could use that to my advantage. I decided not to mind him. Not minding him did two things for me, one, it made his fans become endeared to me because I didn't insult their icon and it also made my fans realize I was really gentle. What I didn't understand about the beef was, he did the song, did the video, did the performance, but the media said I had a beef with him but from the look of things he was rather beating me up.
Kwame founded One Mic Entertainment with his wife and is also a partner in a shoe manufacturing company called Horseman Shoes. The net worth of Okyeame Kwame is increased by the status he has built around himself making the rapper a Ghanaian icon. Okyeame Kwame net worth in 2019 has been drastically improved by some of the events the rapper has participated in recently as well as the endorsement deals that keep coming.
However, while the money that comes with the accolades and endorsements tip the scales in his favor regarding his financial status, Okyeame Kwame has also served the people in a public office. He is currently Ghana's Health Ambassador and even started the Okyeame Kwame Foundation which helps curb the spread of Hepatitis B.
The foundation offers free screening people for the disease and while educating them on its dangers and prevention methods. It also helps raise awareness regarding Hepatitis B. Okyeame Kwame is also building a Hepatitis B Centre in Tamale where the disease is most prevalent in a bid to rid Ghana of the disease.
Okyeame Kwame hosted a celebrity car wash in 2014 meant to raise funds to help make free Hepatitis B screening a reality. The event, which was held in East Legon was a major success as celebrities such as Kwame Sefa Kayi, Kafui Dey, and George Quaye to mention a few got their hands dirty to support Kwame's worthy cause.
While his music might be well known across Ghanaian borders, Okyeame Kwame is also recognized by international communities for his role fighting Hepatitis B in Ghana. The rapper received the key to the city by Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley and even got the 17th of November earmarked as the Okyeame Kwame Day in the United States City.
Now, therefore, I John Cranley Mayor of the great city of Cincinnati do hereby proclaim November 17th, 2016 as your day! And we want to make sure you always come back to Cincinnati, and we have an open door for you. So we're also giving you a key to the city.
Okyeame Kwame cars and house portray the rapper's deep pockets. While he is not known to spend his cash on outrageous acquisitions, the rap doctor has built a classy home for his family in Gwabe, Ghana. The Okyeame Kwame house can only be seen in the selfies the rapper takes with his family considering he is not a show-off and has to maintain his stature as a respectable public figure in Ghana.
However, Okyeame Kwame cars have left tongues wagging especially his latest addition, a sleek Mercedes Benz M-Class 4Matic. The rapper has a fleet of cars, which is expected when you are an A-list celebrity as well as a force of change in your country.
Here are some of the awards Okyeame Kwame has won in his career so far.
Ghana Movie Awards 2011 - Best Cameo.

May the road rise up to greet you. May the wind be at your back.
My grandmother sailed steerage from Ireland to Ellis Island looking for work and a new life. Fifty-one million people chased the American dream that way. Can you imagine two whole weeks on the Atlantic Ocean in the bowels of a ship rife with dysentery? After a few years mopping floors in New York Grandma went back home to visit family. She married Peter Mulholland and never returned to America. I emigrated a century later courtesy of Virgin Atlantic, disappointed the seat didn't go completely flat and the wine options were limited.
I'd been planning an Irish theme for today, excited to share memories of summers jumping streams and picnicking on Slieve Gullion mountain or playing the mandolin in pubs as a student. I was going to riff on my passion for W.B. Yeats and love of Oscar Wilde. I might have debunked a few myths about leprechauns or challenged the authenticity of the burial site of St. Patrick, but I am unable to wax lyrical – am in San Diego recovering from the flight here.
Clearly, when Robert Louis Stephenson suggested 'it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive' he had never flown American Airlines. At a certain point on the way from Miami I was no longer traveling hopefully, I had lost the will to live. The wind was definitely at our backs and I wasn't confident the road would not be coming up to greet me.
Surely there comes a moment when an old plane is sent to the place where old planes go to die? I mean you wouldn't drive here in a 1980's Buick. Still, thinking of my mother who walked barefoot to school, the oldest of nine children and of my grandfather who worked in a granite quarry in Killeavy, I'm counting my blessings today. After all, I'm the one in the family who did get to live the American dream.


Pakistan Monday reacted angrily to Donald Trump's latest tirade against it for not doing "a damn thing" for America in curbing terrorism, saying the US President "suffers conveniently from perpetual historic amnesia!"
Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari's terse remarks came a day after President Trump defended his administration's decision to stop hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Pakistan for not doing enough to curb terrorism and criticised Islamabad for offering a hideout to Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in the garrison city of Abbottabad.
The minister, known to be a hawk, in a series of tweets said that whether China or Iran, US policies of "containment and isolation" do not coincide with Pakistan's strategic interests.
Mazari, a close aide of Prime Minister Imran Khan, said Trump's latest criticism of Pakistan should be a "lesson" to those Pakistani leaders who "appeased" America, especially after the 9/11 terror attacks.
"Trump's tirade against Pak & his claim that that Pak does not do 'a damn thing' for the US shd be a lesson for those Pak ldrs who kept appeasing the US esp after 9/11! The renditions; the loss of Pak lives in US WoT (war on terrorism); the free space for Raymond Davis & other operatives; etc etc," she tweeted.
"The illegal killings by drone attacks; the list is endless but once again history shows appeasement does not work. Also, whether China or Iran, US policies of containment & isolation do not coincide with Pak strategic interests," Mazari said.
In reply to another tweet calling out Trump over his remarks, Mazari said: "@realDonaldTrump suffers conveniently from perpetual historic amnesia!"
Former foreign minister Khawaja Asif said Pakistan continues to "pay in blood" for what it did for the USA and described the bilateral ties as a "relationship of betrayals & sanctions."
"We continue to pay in blood for what we did for USA from Beda Ber to fighting wars wich weren't ours. Reinvented our religion to suit US interests, destroyed our tolerant ethos, replaced it with bigotry & intolerance. A relationship of betrayals & sanctions," Asif tweeted.
Referring to bin Laden and his hideout in Abbottabad, Trump in an interview to Fox News on Sunday said, "You know, living, think of this living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion, I don't know, I've seen nicer."
The compound was demolished shortly after US Naval Special Warfare Development Group forces, in a daring helicopter raid, killed bin Laden in 2011.
"But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there," he added.
"And we give Pakistan US $1.3 billion a year. ... (Laden] lived in Pakistan, we're supporting Pakistan, we're giving them US $1.3 billion a year -- which we don't give them anymore, by the way, I ended it because they don't do anything for us, they don't do a damn thing for us," he said.
The ties between the two countries strained after Trump, while announcing his Afghanistan and South Asia policy in August last year, hit out at Pakistan for providing safe havens to "agents of chaos" that kill Americans in Afghanistan and warned Islamabad that it has "much to lose" by harbouring terrorists.
In September, the Trump administration cancelled US $300 million in military aid to Islamabad for not doing enough against terror groups like the Haqqani Network and Taliban active on its soil.
Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari's terse remarks came a day after President Trump defended his administration's decision to stop hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Pakistan for not doing enough to curb terrorism.

 Monument à la mémoire des victimes du massacre du marais de Fucecchio et des combattants toscans. L'œuvre en marbre de Carrare réalisée par Gino Terreni, originaire d'Empoli, commémore la stupéfaction et le drame de 175 innocents, parmi lesquels on retrouve surtout des femmes, des personnes âgées et des enfants, qui sont sur le point d'être fusillés par des soldats nazis, qui avaient été hébergé dans les maisons des gens de Larciano auparavant. Le monument a été inauguré en septembre 2002 à Castelmartini, lieu de l'un des massacres les plus sanglants commis par les nazis-fascistes après l'armistice. Cet événement est connu sous le nom du massacre du marais de Fucecchio; le président de la République de l'époque Carlo Azeglio Ciampi était également présent à l'inauguration. En outre, sept travaux préparatoires sont présents en permanence au Centre de Recherche, Documentation et Promotion du Marais de Fucecchio, dont le plâtre d'origine du monument en question.
 Jardin de la Mémoire. Inauguré le 23 août 1996 à Castelmartini, le Jardin de la Mémoire a pour but de commémorer le massacre commis le 23 août 1944 par les Nazi-fascistes, au cours duquel 175 personnes ont perdu leur vie. Il a été créé par Andrea Dami et Simone Fagioli, qui ont récupéré l'ancien cimetière en intervenant avec des installations artistiques permanentes. L'œuvre « Paysage », d'Andrea Dami, présente 36 panneaux dédiés aux morts de la commune de Larciano : les signes quadrangulaires et cubiques rappellent les femmes, tandis que les sphériques et rondes évoquent les hommes. Les formes ne sont pas les mêmes car elles représentent les diverses vies des victimes ; de plus, elles sont situées légèrement obliquement par rapport à l'horizon, ce qui montre le caractère aléatoire et imprévisible de la vie. En outre, Andrea Dami et Simone Fagioli ont créé une sorte de carte postale au sol intitulée « Mon frère est ici », qui fait partie d'une série de thèmes graphiques et culturels émergeant de quatre-vingt-deux courriels en provenance de différents pays d'Europe, d'Amérique et d'Asie. « Mon frère est ici » se compose de neuf mosaïques "pictogrammes-sièges-tables-plateformes" représentant le monde (universalité du message), la relation homme/femme (archétype humain), l'œil (symbole de la vision directe du massacre), la table de la paix (élément de réflexion constante), la dualité soleil / lune (dualité de la vie), la croix (sacrifice de 175 victimes du massacre), le sang (sang des personnes tuées), la colombe (symbole de paix par excellence) et le mot "non!" (mot contre la violence et la guerre).

Dans la commune de Larciano, une bibliothèque municipale est présente et cela offre divers services aux citoyens, par exemple le prêt locale, domiciliaire et bibliothécaire, la consultation d'œuvres, des activités d'éducation pour les adultes et les enfants, des activités de promotion à la lecture et une ludothèque.

Études scientifiques

 Observatoire astronomique de Castelmartini. Situé dans la maison privée d'Enrico Prosperi à Castelmartini. Il est actif depuis 1994 et depuis 1998 il s'agit d'un observatoire numéroté inclus dans la liste établie par l'Union astronomique internationale (avec le code 160). En février 2018, l'observatoire était l'un des plus prolifiques en termes absolus par nombre d'observations de corps mineurs dans le système solaire et, dans les années précédentes, à partir de 2009, il a été toujours classé parmi les tout premiers, parfois au premier rang, au niveau national.

Musées

 Musée de la vie rurale Casa Dei. Situé à l'intérieur d'une ferme à deux étages au sein du marais de Fucecchio, le musée rassemble des matériaux de la vie paysanne du début du XXe siècle. Le musée est divisé en sections et le but ultime est celui de faire connaître la relation établie entre le lieu, l'activité agricole et le rôle dans la vie rurale de l'époque. Ce musée est créé en collaboration avec la région Toscane et avec le patronage de la province de Pistoia et de la municipalité de Larciano dans le cadre du projet intitulé « Le long des routes migratoires » et il est entré dans le réseau muséal de la région Toscane depuis 2012.
 Musée civique de Larciano Castello. Situé à Larciano Castello et inauguré en 1975, le musée rassemble des objets de la zone de Valdinievole et des objets d'autres lieux, grâce à des dons ou des prêts temporaires d'autres musées. Les découvertes couvrent un vaste cadre temporel allant de la Préhistoire à la fin de la Renaissance. Le musée est organisé en deux sections, c'est-à-dire locale et éducative.

Anyway, after I'd calmed down and shopped around I was quite surprised at the price of a basic system, so decided (in the spirit of it's pioneers *thumbs up*) to construct my own. So after a year of Slacklining (not constantly) and with my setup still going strong here's my build-your-own-slackline-for-under-£30-plus-p&p-which-made-it-just-over-£30 guide.
The Slackline; 25mm-50mm nylon or polyester webbing you walk on.
Tensioning system: Either a suitable ratchet (low lines only) or pulley system.
Anchor system to attach the line to the anchor points (in our example, 2 trees).
Below is my DIY setup, I went for a 12m 25mm line (many commercial lines come in both 25mm and 50mm widths), the purple slings are used for anchors (i.e. wrapping around trees), the 2 carabiners secure the anchor slings to end of the ratchet strap and the main line.
A quick word of warning: Although my line has not failed over a year of abuse the safest option is always to go and buy a purpose built and tested Slackline, also if your a climber we'd reccommend that you do not mix your climbing gear and slacklining gear as the loads on slacklining gear are very high.
That's all for now, we will put together a video tutorial on line setup and learning to walk the line very soon, in the meantime goodluck and remember to take your keys and phone out your pocket before you start.
If you'd like some more info on Slacklining, Wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive guide and there's also some really friendly Facebook groups, websites and communities around!

Here comes that time of the year when Louisiana legislators will be hassled for anything from manicuring rights for orphaned crawfish to the dastardly, diabolical motion picture investor tax credit programs. The former is fictional while the latter is a fictional creator of entertainment, a creator of skilled labor jobs, local businesses and opportunities which Louisiana has not seen in several decades, if at all. The motion picture and television industry has infused more than $3 billion dollars in the last few years since the mythical Hollywood South was born and has created more than 15,000 jobs. Even the national media sees Louisiana as the new Hollywood as did CBS in this news story.
With the latest news flurry of attacks on the investor tax credit programs, the uninformed and the destructionists are questioning their legislators as to why they are not getting theirs – their piece of the pie. In reality, the news just finished the first cycle of Nielsen ratings sweeps for the year (February is a sweeps month), so the Louisiana news media cannot help themselves to glorify the criminals who took advantage of the programs and shame the investor tax credit programs the good people of Louisiana have instituted. The destructionists in the legislature and inside the government of Louisiana want to do away with these programs completely. They have miraculously deemed themselves the final arbiters of where the taxpayer's money is spent.
Most in the legislature spend hours upon hours tending to their constituencies and with good cause. In Louisiana as in some other states, being a legislator is a part-time job with a full-time load and a thankless job at that sometimes. The simple analysis above should provide a very good basis from which to begin any debate on the motion picture investor tax credits.
While debate about the scammers, criminals and crooks will always be a part of our legislative fabric, whole cloth can be cut and stitched to build the best program in the country. The investor tax credits program apparently is the best in the nation as CBS has reported. Just ask any home grown actor, crew talent, or small business owner in Louisiana who provide products and services to the industry.
This blog would not exist but for the investor tax credits which created an industry out of whole cloth. To the uninformed, you only have to look at the chart to realize the Louisiana Department of Revenue has projected the motion picture investor tax credits and affiliated programs only account for 2.26% of all so-called 'losses' to the state budget for 2015.
The state bureaucrats actually call 'you keeping your tax dollars' a loss, or investor tax credits a loss. This is only a disease one finds in government bureaucracy. But, that is an argument for another time and place.
This article could easily be several pages long and include an in-depth analysis of motion picture investor tax credit programs from around the Big Blue Marble, their pluses-minuses. A college course could be created out of the metrics and business models created.
Your humble author felt in the interests of getting a simple point across, cutting to the chase was the best approach. The State of Louisiana has created these investor tax credit programs and of all the so-called 'losses' to the budget, the entertainment-related ones only account for 2.26%.
Remember that percentage. We have created 15,000 plus jobs and received over $3 billion dollars in cash-on-the-barrelhead for Louisiana businesses and crew talent. That is money Louisiana would not have seen were it not for this industry. Those are jobs Louisiana would not have seen were it not for this industry. The scammers and crooks will eventually be caught and they will serve their time in federal prison. Many already have been caught and have served time for their crimes.
As for fine tuning, your author has several initiatives which would help strengthen the laws and give support to an industry. Any legislator is more than welcomed to contact this author. It is time for the Louisiana legislature to fine tune the programs, as opposed to throwing them all out into the swamp.

Lauren Sams is the author of She's Having Her Baby and is currently working on its sequel. She's also a freelance writer and her work has appeared in ELLE, marie claire, Cosmopolitan, Good Food, delicious., Sunday Style and dailylife.com.au.
She used to be Lauren Smelcher, then (confusingly) she was Lauren Smelcher Sams. She's pretty set on Lauren Sams now, pending a call from Rob Lowe.
She lives with her husband, daughter and two dogs in Sydney. Elaine Benes is her spirit animal.
If you'd like Lauren's thoughts delivered to your inbox weekly, you can sign up to her newsletter here.
The juggle is real . . .
Georgie Henderson is having a bad year. As a new – working – mum, she strives to be Sheryl Sandberg at work and Martha Stewart at home. But she's discovering that in the twenty-first century being a Good Working Mum means answering emails at midnight while you purée vegetables and line up playdates and French lessons for your four-month-old daughter.
Georgie's ex, Jase, gets 100 per cent of the credit for 5 per cent of the work, and her best friend, Nina, is on a 'self-discovery' journey that involves a 25-year-old bartender and a plan to become an artisanal florist. And all Georgie's mum wants is for Georgie to find a man. Preferably the man who is the father of her child.
In Crazy Busy Guilty, Lauren Sams returns to the characters of She's Having Her Baby and unpacks the realities of modern parenting with candour, humour and warmth.
Georgie Henderson doesn't want to have kids, but her best friend, Nina Doherty, has wanted to have a baby for as long as she can remember. Sadly, Nina's uterus refuses to cooperate. One drunken evening, Nina asks Georgie for the ultimate favour: would she carry a baby for her? Georgie says yes . . . and spends the next nine months discovering what she's got herself into.
With intense bacon-and-egg roll cravings, a foundering friendship and distant memories of what her feet look like, Georgie also tries to keep it all together in her dream job as the editor of Jolie, a magazine whose readership is shrinking as fast as Georgie's waist is expanding.
She's Having Her Baby is a funny and frank story about pregnancy, dating and modern parenting, and – ultimately – the indomitable power of female friendship.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Boeing has won a more than $193-million contract to supply 6,000 more Small Diameter Bombs to the US Air Force and foreign allies including Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Singapore and Israel, the US Department of Defense said in a press release.
"The Boeing Company Defense, Space and Security [of] St. Louis, Missouri has been awarded a $193,638,503, contract… for Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)," the release said on Tuesday. "This modification provides for the purchase of an additional quantity of 6,000 SDB 1 all-up-rounds."
The SDB is a new class 250 pound (110 kilograms) bomb designed to provide high-precision and effective stand-off range when dropped from manned or unmanned aircraft. The high precision capability allows aircraft to carry increased weapons' loads and provides flexible loading options for future drones.
The SDB is designed to destroy multitude of targets and can penetrate steel-reinforced concrete from distances of about 70km while causing minimal collateral damage.
The contract involves foreign military sales to Saudi Arabia, Japan, Israel, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Singapore and is scheduled to be completed in just under three years by December 30, 2020, the Defense Department said.
