I met Mindy through her sweet hubby who is a fellow photographer. We met at a photographers meet and greet and my first impressions was she is just perfect for her partner Dave. They are both comedians, constantly smiling and making people laugh. They are a pleasure to be around. My first session with them was a few years back and I captured some images for their engagement. Fast forward to our most recent session, this time Mindy got the royal treatment.. this session was all about her. We spend the session laughing and joking and having a ball. Dave was my assistant that day as well setting up some behind the scene shots. It was an epic day. I look forward to shooting her every year of her life.. she is simply beautiful.

Chef is a Real Treat
Director, writer and actor Jon Favreau (director of Elf and Iron Man) cooks up a heart-warming and flavorful film in Chef.
If you want to see something fun, light, and heart-warming this summer, then go see Chef because it's the feel-good film of the year. Jon Favreau steps away from the special effects, superheroes and elf tights to give us a great film about family, friends and food. Favreau directs, writes, co-produces and acts in this delicious film. He also serves us up a charming cast (Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Downey Jr.) and a sharp script.
We meet Carl Casper (Favreau) a Miami-born chef who is trying to prove himself in Los Angeles, but in the process divorces his wife (Vergara) and is distant from his son due to his workaholicsim. Carl has a passion for food and wants to create new recipes just like an artist. Unfortunately, his boss (Hoffman) does not want the new food but the old food, A.KA. the classics. So when famous food critic and blogger, Ramsey Michel (Platt), comes by to dine, instead he is treated with old and unappetizing food. Ramsey is disgusted and disappointed with Carl, so he writes him a nasty review. Carl is furious and ends up finding his way to Twitter through his son, Percy, who sets him up with an account not knowing what his father is about to do. Carl is unaware of the power of social media and ends up slamming Ramsey online and in the process loses his temper and his job.
Carl has nothing: He has lost his wife, his job and his passion for cooking. Eventually, his ex-wife, Inez, talks him into going with her and Percy to Miami to turn his life in the right direction. Carl agrees and heads to Miami to start up his own food truck company to re-ignite his passion for cooking. In the process, his son Percy and best friend Martin (Leguizamo) join him on this grand road trip. From there the film leads into a fun and heart-warming adventure. Chef reminds us the importance in a father-son relationship and the beauty behind it. Favreau shows us the right amount of screen time between Carl and Percy to let their bond grow through the film. It's a rather honest and touching film about being a good father and Favreau hits all the right marks. His performance is energetic and funny. Favreau knows when and where to drop in the right kind of humor to keep the film lively.
Favreau cooks up a delicious and appetizing film that will make filmgoers satisfied everywhere, plus, a hilarious cameo by Downey Jr. Chef is not just a film about food, it's about friendship, passion and artistry. Audiences everywhere will be craving Chef. Go see this film … you won't be disappointed. Eat. Drink. Go watch Chef.
Bon-appétit.

Our Platinum party package is designed as a combined video and studio recording event.
It lasts for 2 hours in total, there will be only be enough time to record one song of your choice as we have to film and direct a multi angle music video along with the sound mixing. We deliver the film to you a few days after the party, this is because there is a lot of editing we have to do after the event. However, you will all walk away with a CD and photos at the end of the event.
Like with all our studio parties, we don't just plonk you all in front of a microphone or video camera and record. We work hard and take a lot of care to make each of these group events as unique as they possible can be.

a fun photo session of you all posing with the studio instruments near the end of the event.
On the day you can bring your own extra snacks and drinks if you want, for which we can provide glasses, bowls, etc. You can also come to the studio if arranged, to drop off your drinks a day or two before the party to make sure they are nice and cold for your event.
The Package price is £450 for our Platinum party which allows up to 12 participants to take part.
This means that if 12 people attend the cost per person is only £35pp .

88th Academy Awards preview: Examining Oscars' gender imbalance and another good reason Hollywood should embrace diversity
Posted by Brandy McDonnell on Feb 27, 2016 | 0 comments
The 88th Academy Awards will be handed out Sunday. Photo provided
The 2016 Academy Awards will be handed out Sunday night, and the Women's Media Center has revealed some appalling, if not particularly surprising, statistics leading up to Hollywood's golden day.
The D.C.-based group has studied the Oscars for 10 years and concluded that women represent only 19 percent of non-acting nominations, according to Variety. The cause: the industry's hiring practices.
According to the center's study, women received 327 nominations – less than one in five nods – behind the cameras, compared to 1,387 nods for men.
The study covers 19 categories, including producers, writers, directors and cinematographers nominated from 2006 to 2015.
As previously reported, women this year represented 22 percent of nominees, a high mark for the past decade, though still well below women's percentage of the population.
"There is a clear connection between the low numbers of women hired for behind-the-scenes jobs in film and women's low representation among Oscar nominees," said Julie Burton, president of the Women's Media Center, in the Variety report. "If they're not hired in these non-acting categories, they'll never have a chance to be recognized for their excellence."
The study added that if more women were hired, the talent pool for nominations would better reflect the overall population and audience, more than half of which are women.
"The number of women film directors, especially black female directors, is abysmally low in an industry that too often is insular and resistant to change. The makeup of the Academy is only part of the problem. Most often, it's the lack of opportunity available to women, and it's especially hard if you are a woman of color," Amma Asante, a recipient of the Women's Media Center award for directorial excellence, said in the Variety report.
"It's important to change the narrative for little girls so that they can picture themselves in the director's chair — a position of strength, power and prestige. Through the director's lens, I have the ability to shape, create, entertain, educate and inspire. I would only hope that my work as a screenwriter and director gives hope to young women."
For instance, no woman has ever been nominated for cinematography in Oscar's 88-year history, although women are more strongly represented in categories such as costume design, production design, short films and documentary features.
From 2006 to 2015, women constituted 24 percent of the producing (best picture) nominees. Women also accounted for 13 percent of the total nominations for writing (original and adapted screenplay). This year, women have four nominations in the writing categories, tying the all-time high from 2007, according to Variety.
"The response often given by those held accountable for an irresponsible lack of diversity in this year's Oscar nominations is that there just aren't as many women or people of color as directors, producers or in leading roles to choose from," Pat Mitchell, chair of the Sundance Institute and WMC board co-chair, said in the Variety report.
"But a review of the representation of women directors, producers and leading roles at Sundance Film Festival, year after year, is evidence enough that there's no lack of talent or stories or films to celebrate; what there is a lack of is the commitment, the vision to see beyond what Hollywood chooses to celebrate as representative and the best."
I'll be live blogging and tweeting the 88th Academy Awards Sunday night on my BAM's Blog starting at 5 p.m. Central Time. To read my Oscar predictions, click here.

Talking diversity, during Oscars week and beyond
Oscar host Chris Rock, producer Reginald Hudlin and film academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs took Thursday afternoon off from Academy Awards preparations to celebrate black women in Hollywood at Essence magazine's ninth annual awards at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
According to the Associated Press, Hudlin took the stage to present an award to legendary entertainer Debbie Allen. Actress Tracee Ellis Ross, entertainment attorney Nina Shaw and filmmaker Thais Francis were also recognized.
Francis thanked the magazine "for creating a platform of visibility."
"A lot of us in this audience know the importance of visibility, especially during a time, in a society, in a world, in an industry that's telling us that we're invisible," she said.
Oprah Winfrey opened the program, which will air Saturday on OWN.
In a year when Hollywood's lack of inclusion has overwhelmed the Oscar race, Winfrey said, "it's a beautiful thing that we have the good sense to do this for ourselves."
As previously reported, the lack of people of color among this year's Oscar nominees and the subsequent #OscarsSoWhite outcry led to the Academy's board of governors approving "a sweeping series of substantive changes designed to make the Academy's membership, its governing bodies, and its voting members significantly more diverse," with the goal of doubling the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020.
Two-time Oscar nominee Viola Davis is among those who have asserted that the problem is not so much the Oscars as it is Hollywood in general.
"How many black films are being produced every year? How are they being distributed? The films that are being made, are the big-time producers thinking outside of the box in terms of how to cast the role? … Can you cast a black woman in that role? Can you cast a black man in that role?" she said in an Entertainment Tonight interview.
"You can change the Academy, but if there are no black films being produced, what is there to vote for?"
Hollywood's lack of diversity makes even less sense when you consider an annual analysis released Thursday found that movies make more money when exactly half their casts are non-white, according the Associated Press.
"These aren't momentary glitches. It's the handwriting on the wall," and it points to how profoundly out of touch the Academy is when giving Oscars only to white actors, Darnell Hunt, who directs the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, told the AP.
The Bunche Center has analyzed each year's top-grossing films since 2011, grouping each movie according to how many non-white actors hold the top eight roles, and calculating the median global haul of each level of diversity. The best performing films, with a median ticket revenue of $122.2 million, turned out to be movies in which half the main cast was non-white, reports the AP.
That's more than double the $52.6 million median haul for films with no non-white actors in the top eight. Films where more than half the principal actors were non-white also did worse, with a median of $52.4 million.
Casts with non-whites in four of the eight top roles also provided the best return on investment, delivering ticket sales that were 3.4 times the films' budgets, on average.
In the U.S., Caucasians remained the largest moviegoing demographic in 2014 at 54 percent, reports the AP. But U.S. Hispanic and Asian audiences make up a greater proportion of frequent moviegoers than their population.
Considering that China is on pace to overtake the U.S. as the world's largest movie market in a few years, sheer financial necessity – undoubtedly the best motivator for the entertainment industry – may force Hollywood to embrace diversity.
The study points to racially and ethnically diverse movies like Lucy, starring Morgan Freeman, Min-sik Choi and Amr Waked alongside Scarlett Johansson, which grossed $444 million worldwide; the remake of Annie, starring Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhane Wallis and Cameron Diaz, which made $119 million; and the blockbuster Fast and Furious franchise, which has hauled in $3.9 billion in global ticket sales.
"You only need to look at a film franchise like Fast and Furious to see what an enormous success that movie has been, and in large part I would argue it's because of the diversity of the cast," Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton said in the AP report. "I think the Academy has reacted very, very quickly and positively to what I think was a very, extremely unfortunate situation this year."
The Bunche Center report is interesting not only in the context of #OscarsSoWhite but also in light of the hilariously scathing smackdown on Hollywood whitewashing delivered this week courtesy Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Watch it here.

Quick hitters:
– A new 'Wrinkle' for Ava DuVernay. "Selma" director Ava DuVernay will helm Disney's upcoming movie adaptation of the beloved 1963 sci-fi novel A Wrinkle in Time, according to Deadline.com.
Jennifer Lee, who wrote and co-directed Frozen with Chris Buck, is penning the adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Medal-winning book for Disney. The story follows a brother and sister as they travel through time and visit strange worlds with a friend and three witches in a quest to find their missing scientist father.
Deadline reports that DuVernay also has been offered the helm of Intelligent Life, a sci-fi thriller scripted by Colin Trevorrow and his Jurassic World collaborator Derek Connolly with 12 Years A Slave Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o attached. The movie is a fable about a United Nations worker in a department designed to represent mankind in case of alien contact, who falls for a mystery woman who turns out to be one.
– Geena Davis to speak at University of Arkansas. Geena Davis is coming to my part of the country. The Academy Award winner and founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media will give a free public lecture the university on the ways women are represented in the film industry – both onscreen and behind the camera. She will also discuss the Bentonville Film Festival, created last year to promote and champion women and diversity in media, according to a news release.
The lecture will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, March 10, in Giffels Auditorium in Old Main. The event is sponsored by the Department of Communication's Film Appreciation Society.
– Women's growing readership of comics marks 'sea change.' My excellent colleague Matthew Price recently returned from Portland, Ore., where he attended this year's ComicsPRO annual membership meeting. ComicsPRO is the largest organization of direct market comic shop retailers.
He reports on NewsOK that writer Gail Simone, the keynote speaker for the conference, noted that she had seen in her roughly 15-year career a shift in comic readership, which has accelerated in the recent past. Namely, women and girls have been driving interest and sales, as more and more publishers try to keep up with demand for female-led titles and female-friendly creators.
"Don't tell me the industry can't make a change," Simone said. "We're in the middle of a wave right now."
Former DC Comics President Paul Levitz, now working with Boom! Studios, said comic shops will be key to the continuing diversification of comics material.
"Diversity of comics is needed," he said. "The medium is capable of telling any kind of story."
With more and more movies as well as TV and streaming series drawing from comics, women coming to power in the comics realm could have a big impact on what we see on screens in the near future.

As I mentioned in this recent post, I've been promoting the idea that teachers should pay for union dues independently of the auto withdrawal from their paychecks. One twitter commentator mentioned that in Michigan this is happening! I started reading to see what how it has been unfolding.
Late in December 2012, Michigan State Legislature passed a law lifting the requirement for workers to pay union dues and the requirement to join the union.
As I watched the video clip above, a union worker states that she feels the law is taking away their rights. Their rights to what exactly? They may still join. They may still pay their dues. They may still have a union. The union may still collectively bargain. You know what does change? The automatic flow of cash from taxpayers to unions, circumventing the workers choices. From what I read in this piece about how teachers don't have a voice in their unions, and my post on the issue, I'd say this new law provides and opportunity for the union to go back and listen to the other members and create better policy. This new laws gives more rights, the right to keep your money and not join a union.
Their complaint alleges the union is violating the intent of the right-to-work law by only giving them a very brief period — the month of August — to drop their membership.
"My credit is very personal to me and it's something I take pride in," Chanski said.
Denied a teacher who submitted her request to leave the union in May, which was too early. Then they did not inform her that she submitted her letter too early, until it was already September, claiming she owes another year's dues.
WAIT A MINUTE!! Who is this union working for? Not this teacher. Not any teacher that doesn't agree with the union. This sounds more like a cult, than a group that is supposed to be protecting teachers.
Last week, Linda Evon, a Pickney special needs classroom assistant, also filed an unfair labor practice complaint against MEA. She said she tried to quit the union Sept. 4, only to be told the deadline had passed on Aug. 31.
Of course not! They aren't going to publicly disclose that they are trying to preserve union cash over teacher's own rights. This is an embarrassment to the time when unions were actually needed. But they have transformed into protecting workers in a time when laws were not in place to protect workers to a time when all they care about it collecting union cash.
Big Labor hates right-to-work laws because they typically mean fewer members and therefore less dues revenue. Union leaders complain that they cause what economists call a "free rider" problem, since workers still get the benefits of union contract negotiations. Nothing prevents unions from negotiating "members-only" contracts though. They'd just rather have the additional dues coming in.
A free-rider problem? Because workers benefit from the union's contract negotiations and don't have to pay. Someone PLEASE enlighten me about how the "collective bargaining fee" is calculated. If you are negotiating on behalf of 100 or 10,000 teachers do you really do more work? Free-rider problem, what a bunch of absolute baloney!
Of course, with the impending law, many unions rushed to negotiate contracts with a 10 year security clause, locking in the automated union dues. Hello what? The union just negotiated it's own salary for the next ten years?!!? Teachers in the city of Taylor in MI filed suit to eliminate the 10-year security clause and won.
I've been excited about this issue ever since I saw this blog post from a fellow blogger: Union Says Gov. Martinez Committed An "Act Of War" Over Dues. The Governor of New Mexico simply suggested that teachers union dues should not be automatically deducted from teacher pay checks. If teachers want to be part of the union, they can choose to pay to dues themselves.
Union and LEA agree on an amount of dues in the contract.
Union and LEA agree that the LEA will deduct the dues from teacher paychecks and automatically pay it to the unions.
This seems like the LEA is paying the union to negotiate the contract with the LEA.
While, in theory, members can opt out, generally speaking teachers have zero control over the union dues. Even when membership was not chosen, there was a mandatory CBA fee – of which was mostly the same as the membership fee. How in the world do the unions calculate the CBA fee? Seems like a huge scam to me.
I wonder if the teachers unions would spend more time paying attention to the wishes of all its teachers if they had to collect the dues from each and every member. In fact, maybe they would spend more of their time collecting dues and less time creating abusive campaigns against education progress.
The union is not the government. The only monies automatically collected from pay checks go to the government. Every other entity on the planet has to collect monies on their own, and unions should not get the unfair advantage of ease of payment.
I see it as taxpayer dollars going directly into the hands of unions with little or no say or control from the teachers unions are supposed to be protecting.
I'd like to offer a response to the comments of the Warwick City Councilor who I've started a conversation with about my own high school experience.
Maggie, It is apparent that you were completely dissatisfied with your HS experience in the Warwick School District. That is really unfortunate but not peculiar to public school systems or the City of Warwick. You are convinced you would have "thrived" at the Met School which offers an alternative learning experience. Perhaps, perhaps not.
Yes, I was pretty dissatisfied with my experience at Pilgrim High School. You can learn more about why in this last post. But indicating that my experience is not "peculiar" does not excuse my high schools responsibility to offer a quality education. Claiming that other schools are not better, does not excuse your responsibility to offer a quality education. I'd like you to spend less time putting other school options down and working to fix your own schools.
I have been a mentor to students while they were enrolled at the Met. They did not flourish or enjoy the rigidity of public school education and sought a different educational platform. One dropped out of the Met because she lacked the discipline to take charge of her own education and could not handle the responsibilities or the freedom. A second graduated from the Met but left college for lack of preparation and found competition in college too stressful. In both cases, the students washed out of traditional secondary education. And others succeeded at various levels, the same proportionally to traditional schools.
I applaud your efforts to mentor students at The Met. However your story only relates to these two students in particular. The fact that they were are at The Met in the first place, indicates that they were searching for something OTHER THAN traditional public school. Can you say they would have performed better in their traditional public school? They made an effort to try a different type of school. So it did not work for them, but they tried. Clearly they were looking for another option. Perhaps a third type of school would have been appropriate. We can't limit options because some students don't do well. We need to continue to offer options so that as many students as possible have the opportunity to try something new to be successful. Again, it is unfortunate that those students were not able to or successful at attending college. But can you say they would have been more successful in college had they stayed in their traditional public school? I doubt it. Your own admission that the rest of the students succeed at various levels proportional to traditional public schools indicates that alternative education schools are AS SUCCESSFUL as traditional public schools. And for those students, maybe they needed a school like The Met. Maybe those students wouldn't have been as successful in traditional public schools.
Alternative ed is not a magic button. It may work for some but not others—just like any other school. My Resolution to withhold financial support to Mayoral Academies is based on the belief that our taxpayers should NOT be forced to pay for the charter school experience for anyone but their own children. Warwick school district pays over $1.2 million for students to be educated outside the city. If a student decides to return to their city of origin after 1 October of the school year, the money stays with the outside charter school and the Warwick school district must make up the difference. Why is that fair?
So, if I read this correctly, your only complaint is that IF a student returns to their how city after Oct 1, the city doesn't recover those funds. How many students does this actually apply to and how much money is that? Because I bet the Warwick residents who ARE sending their students to another school in another city of their choosing expect their tax dollars to pay for that education. So while you may be helping the few exceptions, you are not helping the majority who likely stay in the school of their choice.
We have students who live in Warwick and choose to attend parochial schools, which are also charter schools. Should we augment those costs next?
There is a clear separation of church and state so, should public money go to private schools? Not necessarily. But what do we say to the parent who determines that the public education they are paying for isn't good enough for their child and they choose to pay out of pocket for those costs? They are literally paying for two educations. Granted we make a similar argument that residents without children still pay for those education costs, but that can be seen as contributing the society as a whole AND those residents are not paying twice for their education. I'm not saying we should allocate public funds for private schools, but I think we need to recognize that these parents have a valid concern and the least we could do is provide the public funding for public charter schools to support the students who choose to attend.
the school system has its problems but you don't fix them by pulling the kids out and bringing financial resources to charter schools.
Obviously, it doesn't improve schools to loose monies – but what are the schools doing to FIX the schools? We pour money into schools and seldom get results. If the schools could start implementing some bolder ideas, perhaps learn from some of the successful elements of charters, maybe they would be better. But you cannot tell parents and student, "Just wait, don't leave your school, it's going to get better." Are you seriously going to tell that to your constituents? "Our schools are going to get worse if you don't attend here, and we lose the funding from your child." A parent would laugh at you. Their best interest is in their child, and you are NOT taking their child's best interest into consideration.
I hate to have a "duh" moment here…but yes! Implement some of the strategies that have worked in charters into your public schools. But where are they? When is this progress going to come? Talk is cheap. Until you ACTUALLY have the programs in schools students want and will thrive with, you can't make them stay there. DO IT and then you can argue all day long that you should keep the kids in traditional public schools.
Why bus our kids outside of their neighborhoods? I went to school during a time of forced busing. It was nothing short of a nightmare. Why send Warwick tax dollars to Providence or other municipality schools? How does that improve the issues that made you so unhappy when you attended school so many years ago?
I believe my prior statements answer these questions. We aren't forcing busing anymore. That argument doesn't stand. Why send tax dollars to another municipality? So your residents can get the education they desire and deserve and their funds should travel with them. Even if the money stayed in the school district, wouldn't you equally argue that Warwick shouldn't have to pay for out of city students?
Because money isn't the problem. Policy is the problem. Sometimes, teachers and unions are the problem. Sometimes its principals, or superintendents. We have been pouring money into problems for ages and haven't seen results. When you can implement the strategies that all students need in your schools, make the argument all you want. But until you can accomplish that, don't deny students and parents the right to put their child's best interest first and send their child to a school better suited for their success.
I appreciate your comments but as you said, you no longer live in the community where you were educated. I was elected to represent the folks who still live here and while my responsibilities do not extend to educational policy, my fiscal duties remain steadfast to Warwick tax payers. Be well.
I believe I addressed the issues of fiscal responsibility to residents of Warwick above. In your attempt to protect Warwick tax payer funding, you are putting those parents and students who aren't satisfied with their Warwick public education at a severe disadvantage. And those students and parents don't have anyone, especially not you representing them. Your role is to ALL residents, not just the ones you are choosing to represent.


The FDA ( Food and Drug Administration ) has approved Mvasi ( Bevacizumab-awwb ) as a biosimilar to Avastin ( Bevacizumab ) for the treatment of multiple types of cancer.
Mvasi is the first biosimilar approved in the U.S. for the treatment of cancer.
According to FDA, bringing new biosimilars to patients, especially for diseases where the cost of existing treatments can be high, is an important way to help spur competition that can lower healthcare costs and increase access to important therapies.
f) Cervical cancer that is persistent, recurrent, or metastatic, in combination with Paclitaxel and Cisplatin or Paclitaxel and Topotecan.
Biological products are generally derived from a living organism and can come from many sources, such as humans, animals, microorganisms or yeast.
A biosimilar is a biological product that is approved based on data showing that it is highly similar to an already-approved biological product and has no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety, purity and potency ( i.e., safety and effectiveness ) from the reference product, in addition to meeting other criteria specified by law.
Common expected side effects of Mvasi include nose bleeds ( epistaxis ), headache, high blood pressure ( hypertension ), inflammation of the nasal cavity ( rhinitis ), high levels of protein in the urine ( proteinuria ), taste alteration, dry skin, rectal bleeding ( hemorrhage ), excessive tear production ( lacrimation disorder ), back pain and skin irritation ( exfoliative dermatitis ).
Serious expected side effects of Mvasi include holes in or abnormal connection between two organs ( perforation or fistula ), blood clot formation ( arterial and venous thromboembolic events ), hypertension, problems in brain function or structure ( posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome ), high levels of protein in the urine ( proteinuria ), infusion-related reactions and loss of function of the ovaries ( ovarian failure ).
Patients should stop using Mvasi if these side effects become severe or life-threatening.
Women who are pregnant should not take Mvasi because it may cause harm to a developing fetus.
Like Avastin, the labeling for Mvasi contains a Boxed Warning to alert health care professionals and patients about an increased risk of holes in the stomach and intestines ( gastrointestinal perforations ); surgery and wound healing complications; and severe or fatal pulmonary, gastrointestinal, central nervous system and vaginal bleeding ( hemorrhage ).
Patients should stop using Mvasi if gastrointestinal perforation occurs.
Patients should not take Mvasi in the 28 days prior to and after elective surgery, and until the surgical wound is fully healed. Patients should stop using Mvasi if a surgical incision breaks open ( wound dehiscence ).

Why Nigeria remains poverty capital of the world
WITH 94 million Nigerians currently living below poverty line, the country is stuck with the unflattering sobriquet as the World Capital of Poverty.
Mr Constant Tchona, Oxfam International Country Director in Nigeria, Monday in Abuja, during the organisation's Programme Quality Review and Planning meeting with the theme "On the Road To Becoming an Influencing Hub," said according to the latest World Poverty Clock, no fewer than 94,470,535 million people in Nigeria live below extreme poverty line.
Tchona decried that this number of people live below the benchmark of N684 per day, saying that, "the number of people that live below extreme poverty level as at April was 91,501,377, making Nigeria the World Capital of Poverty.
"As if that was not bad enough, at the moment, six months later, the number has jumped up to 94,470,535 people.
"What this means is that we have added 2,969,158 people more into extreme poverty.
"By comparison, this number is more than the population of Gambia and Cape Verde combined.
The face of tomorrow…..poverty
"At the current rate, Nigeria is not only off track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but many now believe that up to 25 per cent of the world's extreme poor will live in Nigeria by 2030.
"Nigeria total population is 200,963,599 people according to the Worldometer and is to become the world's third largest country by 2050."
While describing the burden as pathetic, the country director noted that the Nigerian Government was aware of the rate of poverty in the land.
Tchona quoted President Muhammadu Buhari's intention to "lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty over the next 10 years and set them on the path to prosperity'' to "fundamentally shift Nigeria's trajectory and place it among the World's Great Nations."
Poverty reigns in the family
According to him, if this is achieved, Nigeria will shock the world to achieve the SDGs.
"Now the question is what is the role of the citizens and how that role will be played in supporting both elected and appointed officials in achieving this lofty goal.
"What could be the role of International NGOs like Oxfam on that journey?" he asked.
He noted that in order to effectively make impact in poverty reduction, the organisation would have to reminiscent on its programmes to ensure they were not against Oxfam well established quality standard.
He stressed the need to expedite actions, adding that more people are getting into extreme poverty as at the moment.
Tchona explained that the meeting was to reflect on what that role of the organisation in support for government and citizens could be in order to reduce the burden of poverty.
He said that the meeting was also to explore ways to strengthen business support to power up Oxfam execution capability while ensuring operational excellence.

First Name: Carmen AKA Prénom Carmen (1983) Jean-Luc Godard, Maruschka Detmers, Jacques Bonnaffé, Myriem Roussel
Carmen is a member of a terrorist gang who falls in love with a young police officer guarding a bank that she and her cohorts try to rob. She leads him on while dragging the two of them closer to their ultimate doom. Jean-Luc Godard intercuts the film with shots of a string quartet practicing Beethoven, and his main protagonist, Carmen, is played by Maruschka Detmers creating a stunning effect in many scenes of extended nudity.

Tania Isaac: Open Notebook
National Endowment for the Art's Big Read Festival and Drexel's Writers Room are paying tribute to one of the pre-eminent writers of twentieth-century African-American literature, Zora Neale Hurston and her novel "Their Eyes Were Watching Gods". Included in the events is a presentation of the creative outcomes developed during Dance Professor Tania Issac's four-week long workshop re-interpreting Hurston's text which will be presented on Saturday, October 29 at 7:00pm in Van Rensselaer Hall. Her exploration of creative method, "Open Notebook", turns a room into a laboratory of performance investigation. In late September she began a workshop offering the opportunity to look at "Their Eyes Were Watching God" as source material and model for creating performance. Participants met once a week, interweaving their narratives with Hurston's to create small performances of movement, theatre and voice. Their installation was open each day to the public and their comments and responses are reflected in the performance.
Dance Professor Tania Isaac created a new work with Meredith Rainey, a Philadelphia-based choreographer and former Pennsylvania Ballet soloist, on the Annenberg stage in (In)Visible this past April. (In)Visible is a new work that combines playful satire and flowing movement, examining individual and collective ideas of identity as they pertain to culture, sexuality and race and taking inspiration from life of paradoxes. Professor Isaac is a former member of David Dorfman Dance, Urban Bush Women and Rennie Harris Puremovement. She has received grants from the Independence Foundation, Dance Advance, National Performance Network, Leeway Foundation, Harlem Stage Fund for New Work and The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, in addition to receiving a 2011 Pew Charitable Trusts Artists Fellowship. Tania Isaac, named one of "25 to Watch" by Dance Magazine, is a Caribbean-American dancer and choreographer who fuses choreography with personal documentary and social commentary to grapple with identity, post-colonial issues, feminism and juxtapositions of European and African influences.

Our lead product candidate, PLN-74809, is an oral, small molecule, dual-selective inhibitor of αvβ6 and αvβ1 being developed for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
IPF and PSC
While expressed at very low levels in normal tissues, αvβ6 and αvβ1 integrins are upregulated in the pulmonary tissues of IPF patients, and in the liver tissues of PSC patients. Both of these integrins serve as activators of TGF-ß, leading to increased collagen production and, ultimately, fibrosis in these tissues. By blocking the activation of TGF-ß by both αvβ6 and αvβ1, we believe PLN-74809 may slow and potentially halt the progression of fibrosis in these patient populations.
COVID-ARDS
In addition to pulmonary and liver fibrosis, research supports the potential activity of PLN-74809 in COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We have initiated a phase 2 safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics trial in severe and critical COVID-19 patients.
PLN-74809 has shown favorable tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile in Phase 1 trials
Good oral bioavailability and long half-life are promising for potential once-daily dosing
Human biological proof-of-concept shown in a Phase 1b trial in healthy volunteers
Targeting of tissue-specific integrins is designed to maximize antifibrotic effect while avoiding systemic effects of TGF-β inhibition
There are currently only two existing FDA-approved therapies for IPF; while both have shown modest slowing of disease progression, medical need remains high
There are currently no FDA-approved therapies for PSC
Global Phase 2a IPF and PSC trials enrolling
Phase 2 trial in COVID-19 related ARDS has been Initiated
Granted Orphan Drug Designation for IPF and PSC
Preliminary data from Phase 2a IPF PET Imaging trial expected in the first half of 2021
World-Class Drug Development Capabilities
Our highly experienced team of fibrosis and drug development experts are breaking new ground in tissue-specific therapies with a broad pipeline that includes two clinical stage programs and two preclinical stage programs.
Pipeline →
Our Advanced Integrin Library
At Pliant, we have developed an industry-leading library of over 7,000 annotated integrin-binding molecules to probe the molecular drivers of fibrotic disease. With this library, we screen for activity against newly identified targets, to create a deep well of potential drug candidates.

Wheaton College rocks
Colleges and Universities A-Z Wheaton College - Massachusetts
wheaton-college-massachusetts
BGTENN November 28, 2020, 3:00pm #1
For those of you considering Wheaton College in Massachusetts, I just wanted to share from a parents perspective how wonderful the school is. I had seen a post (prior to the collegeconfidential update) asking about the vibe there, and another about the surrounding area and access to Boston. Our son attends Wheaton and he is super happy there, and we as parents absolutely love his choice. Cannot say enough great things about the school, the administration, his professors, the communal atmosphere of the students, and the Wheaton president, Dennis Hanno. Our son was just saying yesterday that he feels like he definitely made the right choice and that Wheaton truly does feel like a special place. Specifically he was talking about how friendly and non-judgemental the president is, and how he interacts casually but confidently with the students around the campus – a couple of times he has been seen out on the campus grounds grilling burgers and dogs for students passing by; he is also an active professor still and my son hopes to take one of his classes (of which he hears great things).
More about the school specifically: It is a gorgeous, quintessential New England liberal arts campus. Great architecture, history, and layout. It's in a small, quiet town (Norton), which just has a couple of streets with businesses and amenities, but it's cute. It is close to Foxborough and Mansfield, and some good shopping, etc within range. It's not super close to Boston, but it's totally accessible (without a car). There is a free shuttle from the campus to the Mansfield train station, and then one can take the train up to the city ($11?) [and the airport, by the way]. He has gone up a few times and really loves having access to that. Providence RI, which is a really cool city, is even closer. The atmosphere of the campus is friendly, accepting, and fairly liberal. There are no frats/sororities, and thee is no football team: some people might consider this lacking, but he loves it, as it creates fewer cliques and less social (drinking) pressure than schools his friends are attending… and it's not all about the football team/sports. There are actually lots of strong sports teams at the school and clubs as well, so that is there for athletic types. It's just not the central focus of the vibe. It's definitely a quieter, smaller school. It's got strong arts programs and also strong economics and science offerings. It's also a tight-knit community across students and admin, and they're pretty serious about social justice, women's respect and issues, racial equality, and more. We were having a conversation about sexual harassment and such (because of an incident he had heard about at a different school), and my son was saying how the students at Wheaton really look out for each other and it would be awfully hard for kids to get away with at his school. I know this type or junk happens everywhere: but we just feel like WC has created a safe, positive, and respectful environment there. They also have a strong honor code, so people are allowed to take their exams unmonitored etc; again, just an approach of responsibility and trust. And finally, they handled the COVID nightmare as well as any school we know (testing every student 2 times per week for the entire semester, hybrid classes approach, strict mask policy, etc, etc).
For those looking for a small liberal arts school with great academics, a laid back atmosphere, and a beautiful campus, Wheaton is totally worth it! If anyone has any specific questions or wants more information from a parent's perspective, just let me know.
dadof2d November 28, 2020, 4:05pm #2
Thanks for the detailed post! It is one of the schools on our daughter's list.
GoldPenn November 28, 2020, 4:50pm #3
Thanks for much for the great info! This is on D21s list and the info you provided is really helpful.
nichols51 November 28, 2020, 11:47pm #4
Thanks for the info. S21 applied EA, and I think he, my husband, and I all agree that it's one of our top 2 favorites for him (the other being Wooster).
SuntasticMom November 30, 2020, 11:18pm #5
Thanks, @BGTENN! This is so helpful and so glad to hear Wheaton has been such a good experience for your son. My daughter applied EA. So, your son finds there is enough to do despite the area being so quiet? My daughter does not want urban but was hoping for a quaint downtown feel near the school she attends. My other question, is with the new dorm they built do freshmen get in or is it hard to get into that new dorm? Thanks!
BGTENN December 1, 2020, 1:13am #7
@SuntasticMom: He finds there's enough to do. As for the new dorm, freshman definitely did get to live in it. From what I understand it is a wellness dorm; so kids are supposed to be substance free, etc if they live in that dorm. Reach out with questions anytime, or PM me.
lisabees December 1, 2020, 5:21pm #8
@BGTENN Thanks for the thread. Fiske writes that the student body is mainly affluent and white. I know the percentages, but can you address that? Also, my D is looking for a school that is liberal, hipster, intellectual (my words, not hers; her dream school would be Oberlin). How would Wheaton's student body compare?
Thanks so much!!
SuntasticMom December 1, 2020, 6:45pm #9
@BGTENN Great info, thanks!!
BGTENN December 1, 2020, 6:48pm #10
@lisabees: Honestly, after researching two go-arounds of liberal arts colleges for our son and now daughter, it seems that "_____ college is upper class and white without enough diversity" is a common criticism. I've read that about practically every LAC I've come across. I don't think Wheaton is as much so as many others, but small private schools are likely going to be more that way than larger and public universities. He doesn't feel it's overly so. I do know that when he tried to do a spring break trip with his friends freshman year, most of the kids had affordability as their biggest restriction. It is definitely not a rich, socialite type of campus. Wheaton is liberal on the scale of colleges… but it is not as liberal as an Oberlin, Vassar, or Wesleyan (few colleges are). I'd say the liberal, intellectual, artsy, social-justice kids are well represented. Wheaton also has a very big international population, which brings a really diverse flavor.
lisabees December 1, 2020, 6:59pm #11
@BGTENN Thanks! Yes, these small LACs do have a difficult time with diversity, don't they? Even an Oberlin. Thanks for the details. I keep hearing great things about the school.
rlc010203 December 2, 2020, 7:48pm #12
So good to hear. Our son applied EA looking forward finding out soon I hope!!! Also looking forward to visiting next year, sounds like a great school!
SuntasticMom December 2, 2020, 9:25pm #13
Anyone know when Wheaton releases decisions on Early Action applications?
nichols51 December 2, 2020, 10:22pm #14
Based on previous years, I'm expecting probably Jan 14-15?
SuntasticMom December 10, 2020, 12:51am #15
Thanks, @nichols51.
mamamulla December 15, 2020, 7:52pm #16
My daughter applied and was accepted ED at Wheaton. It was her top choice and she will be playing basketball there. Fit all her needs and close enough to home but not too close. She's so excited to start next year!
rlc010203 December 15, 2020, 7:53pm #17
We can't wait to visit in the spring
Our son applied EA

Oooo…sounds like it could be earlier than usual! I hope so!
We were so excited to hear (unexpectedly early) today. S21 was admitted to Wheaton which is one of his absolute favorites. Hope others got great news, too.

The legal term "wrongful death" refers to a death caused by the negligence or misconduct of another. A wrongful death claim may arise in any number of circumstances. Examples include: nursing home negligence or abuse; car, motorcycle or truck accidents; workplace accidents; and defective products. Our lawyers have handled wrongful death claims throughout Northeast Florida.
Wrongful death claims are different from other types of claims because the person who died is not the plaintiff. Instead, suit is brought by the victim's family members or estate, and the purpose of the suit is not to recover damages which are personal to the victim, but to compensate the family members who have been harmed financially and emotionally by their loved one's death. Thus, compensation may include an award for loss of emotional support, services or benefits of the deceased, loss of the deceased's future wages, medical expenses, and funeral expenses.
What to Expect: The Wrongful Death Claim Process
In a wrongful death claim, there are specific steps that must be followed. The first step usually involves designating a personal representative. Once that is completed, survivors of the deceased person are identified. Survivors may include the decedent's spouse, children and parents. Survivors may also include other blood relatives if they are dependent upon the decedent. Children born out of wedlock also may be considered survivors. The personal representative is also charged with identifying all medical bills and other expenses related to the cause of death.
The next step is to make a claim for damages against the defendant in a written demand. However, because wrongful death claims are typically complicated, these cases often do not settle, and a lawsuit is filed. When this happens, a formal legal claim, or complaint, is drafted and served to the defendant and to the court clerk, marking the beginning of the lawsuit.
A process called discovery takes place after the claim in filed. Each side requests statements, documents and admissions from the other side to support their claim. Witnesses are identified and deposed. This step serves to establish the facts of the case, including the cause of death, the circumstances surrounding the cause, and determining the extent of damages which may be awarded to the survivors.
Before a trial date is set, the parties will usually hold a mediation conference to see if the matter can be resolved without going to trial. If the two sides cannot agree, the parties will declare an impasse and proceed towards trial.
If a verdict is rendered in favor of the decedent's estate, damages will be awarded to the estate, and primarily distributed to the survivors.
Wrongful death cases are lengthy and emotional, so it is especially important that you are represented by a law firm with the resources to thoroughly present your case. The Lawrence Law Group has handled many wrongful death cases, including claims arising out of car accidents, workplace accidents, boating accidents, and nursing home negligence.
If someone suspects that their loved one was a victim of wrongful death it is very important that they act quickly. While most injury claims have a four (4) year statute of limitations, the Florida Wrongful Death Act generally requires that a wrongful death claim be brought within two (2) years from the time of death.

I have known Mr. Lawrence for several years and in my opinion he is the most professional and trustworthy lawyer I have ever known. I have had dealings with other lawyers but they were not as good as Mr. Lawrence. I would highly recommend him. Carla
I was referred to Greg by a coworker after I received a bad injury from an auto accident and was so pleased with Greg, Amanda, and staff. They literally took care of everything for me while I was healing and kept me updated every step of the way. Calls and emails were always accepted and returned promptly and they were extremely patient and helpful with any questions and concerns that I had. Should I ever need legal assistance again I will definitely be calling him and referring him to family and friends. Amie M.
I had a difficult disability case, and was referred to Greg by a judge. As an experienced lawyer myself, I was apprehensive about using someone I didn't know. As it turned out, however, I could not have been more pleased. Greg mastered the case in no time, and was nothing short of brilliant in getting me a substantial settlement. He's a lawyer's lawyer, and I recommend him highly and without reservation. Steve
I would like to take a moment to say thanks to Greg, and his staff for doing an excellent job with my deceased mothers nursing home case. After hiring two other law firms my brothers and I decided to hire Greg. This was the best decision that we made regarding this case. Greg took the time to get to know who our deceased mother was, and the important facts involving our claim. As a result Greg was successful in resolving our claim to our satisfaction. Greg is the best attorney that I have ever met! I would highly recommend hiring Greg for any nursing home, or any other claims. Falsario Arnold
Of all the things that pleased me about Greg was that he was always available to me. If I called or emailed, I spoke to him and wasn't pushed off to one of his paralegals or assistants (although they were very helpful as well). I felt like I had a lawyer - not a factory. Scott

Five dead in Ghana election violence as accusations fly
John Dramani Mahama during the polls
Five people have been killed in election-related violence in Ghana, police said Wednesday, casting a shadow over a country hailed for its stable democracy.
The deaths were reported as early results confirmed a tight race for the presidency and Ghana's neighbours urged political camps to uphold a peaceful outcome after trading heated accusations.
"Sixty-one electoral and post-electoral incidents nationwide" were reported, the police said in a statement.
Of these, 21 "are true cases of electoral violence, six of which involve gunshots resulting in the death of five."
The electoral commission published results from seven out of the country's 16 regions, pointing to a narrow lead by opposition candidate John Mahama over outgoing president Nana Akufo-Addo.
Monday's presidential and parliamentary vote has been viewed by observers as generally free and fair.
But Mahama late Tuesday accused Akufo-Addo of showing "credentials that are very undemocratic" and harnessing the military to sway the outcome.
"You cannot use the military to try and overturn some of the results in constituencies that we have won. We will resist any attempts to subvert the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people," the 62-year-old former president said.
He made the accusations after rumours circulated on social media that he had conceded defeat.
Hours earlier, the presidency — releasing an unofficial tally — claimed Akufo-Addo was ahead with 52.25 percent of the vote, against Mahama's 46.44 percent.
Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told a press conference that allegations of intimidation by soldiers were false.
He also bluntly rejected Mahama's claim that his party had won a majority, of 140 seats, in the 275-member parliament.
"No candidates at this stage should undermine the work of the EC (electoral commission), it is irresponsible and it would endanger the peace of this country," Oppong Nkrumah warned.
Mahama and Akufo-Addo, 76, are old rivals who have faced off at the ballot box twice before.
Mahama was president for four years until 2016, before being succeeded by Akufo-Addo. Both of those elections were determined by small margins.
Despite the sharp words, Ghana has a history of electoral stability and grievances are typically pursued through the courts.
Akufo-Addo and Mahama on Friday signed a symbolic peace pact, which the 15-nation regional bloc ECOWAS urged "all political parties and their leadership to respect."
In a statement, the Economic Community of West African States said, "We appeal to political parties and their followers to refrain from any conduct that may undermine the successful conclusion of electoral process."

Morning, folks! Are you + your love considering getting married on the Central Coast of California… only you have no idea where to start? With so many gorgeous spaces, creative business owners, and endless options — it's a lot to take in, we know! So, we figured we'd help you out + create this list of talented vendors from the Central Coast to help you out!
Who are they? It's a group called "Nearest and Dearest" — a wedding collective that specifically serves couples who want to celebrate with 50 people or less. Tina at Loveridge Photography shares: Our dream is to be a full service, one-stop-shop, for couples getting married on the Central Coast of California. We dream about unhurried wedding days, long dinners while listening to live music, and hanging out late into the night in beautiful lounges while sipping on specialty cocktails.
To give you an idea of what they can create, Tina, Samantha Josette Events, and an array of brilliant wedding artists transformed Biddle Ranch Vineyard in San Luis Obispo for this intimate fall editorial!
Got You Cover'd Rentals has got you, well, covered when it comes to chairs + décor. All you need to do is bring in Aurelia Flora for all the gorgeous florals to frame the space. We're particularly fond of the pampas grass at play here.
Aren't those autumnal hues the prettiest?
Avenue Twelve will help create the lounge + reception space of your dreams. Want a special place to sip on cocktails? No problem! Just add swanky bar service by Copper and Crystal and you're set!
Treat your guests to bespoke cocktails — and maybe even take their suggestions (since it's an intimate wedding and all!).
Tina shares: We hope to inspire couples to consider having smaller weddings which would allow them to focus on those closest to them. It would also allow them to have their ceremony and reception site in creative locations that may not be available to larger weddings.
We're ALL for live entertainment, especially when it's Come Alive Entertainment + DJ Sparrow!
Fall is such a gorgeous time to get married in California as the weather is typically still warm enough and you'll get glowing golden sun to light up your newlywed photos.
Keeping things casual + cool, the bride is wearing a strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline from The Meadow.
Hellllooo, sweeping up-do by Rhyan Townsend, complemented by a hairpiece from Amour Jewelry & Accessories.
One of the best ways to transform a space and really set the overall mood is with the florals. Capture your color palette, create cool textures, and frame the spaces where you want to create intimate vignettes.
For small, intimate weddings, long tables allow for all to be involved in the conversation and share family-style plates.
Line the tables with linens from Blush Fine Linens for an elevated touch.
To top everything off, Pardon my French crafted this scrumptious looking cake to go along with all the bites from Flora and Fauna.
We hope this list of vendors helps you get started in your planning process! Not planning on a Central Coast wedding, but looking for help with your vendors? Be sure to check our GWS Preferred Artist Guide with lots of talented artists, venues and more!
We'd love to hear what you'd include in a Central Coast wedding… and what locations are speaking to you in the comments below!


We are on our way from Dushanbe (the capital of Tajikistan) to Zerafshan Valley (north west of Tajikistan), to visit our disability and gender rights programme over there. The road has just been carved out, after having been blocked by ice and snow for weeks. Notice how the heaps of iced snow are still there, while the green of spring appears on the mountains already - picture taken in April 2012.


A major monograph on Ron Mueck.
In April 2013, the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain presents a monographic exhibition devoted to the Australian artist Ron Mueck, following the success of the previous exhibition of his work in 2005. On this occasion Ron Mueck's imposing and disconcerting sculptures are displayed in all the exhibition spaces throughout the building designed by Jean Nouvel.
The Fondation Cartier publishes a comprehensive reference book specifically for the exhibition, covering the artist's twenty-year career and presenting all his sculptures through numerous photographs and previously unpublished documents. Readers can explore Ron Mueck's creative process and get an intimate feel for it through shots of his studio, preparatory drawings and photographs of models. The book also spotlights the new sculptures created expressly for the event through images from the Fondation Cartier exhibition. Contributions from art critics Robert Storr and Justin Paton shed new light on Ron Mueck's work while exploring the major themes underlying his art.


These are mainly commercial and some other sites providing free access and organization of primary OCW sources and possibly services such as learner's progress tracking. Sign-up may be required and advertising is likely.
What is Open Courseware (OCW)?
"Courseware" implies any type of "knowledge product" associated with the delivery of a lecture course or program of study. Digitised material such as lecture notes, handouts, slides, tutorial material, exam questions, quizzes, videos and demonstrations are all typical examples. "Open Courseware" is courseware that has been made publicly available, free of charge, by the author to any user with web access anywhere in the world. To find out more about OCW take a look at some of the prime websites in this section of the iBerry Open Education Directory.
As a self-learner, can I use Open Courseware to construct my own program of study?
Yes of course you can but don't make the mistake of confusing courseware with a complete 'traditional' course. The latter is a total educational experience that includes courseware among many other value adding features such as expert tuition, feedback, assessment and interaction with fellow students so decide for yourself how to benefit from Open Courseware. By all means construct your own programs of study but don't expect support from the authors and institutions that publish the courseware. At a more introductory level, you may simply wish to browse through a range of "taster" material before deciding to enrol in a formal program of studies at an institution.
As a student, is Open Courseware relevant if I'm already following a course of study?
Very much so! You can find a wealth of information to complement and supplement your education. Remarkable and fascinating material is freely available covering most subject areas - animations, videoed live lectures by renowned experts, fully illustrated lecture notes etc etc. The learning process can only benefit from different approaches and interpretations, at least some of which may be suited to your own educational background.
What is the role of iBerry in compiling the Open Education Directory?
Education and discovery are best advanced when knowledge is shared openly and freely. Open Educational Resources have much potential for self-directed networked learning and the widespread exchange of ideas and informed discussion. We are attempting to provide free and up-to-date information originating Universities, Colleges and other repositories all over the world and covering all academic subject areas.

The Treasury was incurring the overdraft costs last week even as the money market displayed signs of liquidity with the average interbank rate down to 5.52 per cent compared to 5.84 per cent in the previous week.
The government pays an interest rate equivalent to the prevailing Central Bank Rate (CBR), which currently stands at 9.0 per cent.
The Treasury's expensive emergency borrowing from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) doubled last week to Sh15.06 billion compared to the previous week even as cheaper money was available in the market.
It was the third straight week the Treasury was borrowing through an overdraft from the CBK since the beginning of the fiscal year in July, according to the monetary authority.
In the week ending August 24, the government borrowed Sh7.84 billion, which was also double the amount it borrowed in the week before.
It was only in the first two weeks of last month that the Treasury did not acquire emergency funding from the CBK, signalling improved liquidity conditions in State coffers at the time.
The CBK hinted that the requirements for cash within the Treasury could have been related to payments it was making through the financial institutions, which in turn were liquid.
"Liquidity conditions improved in the interbank market during the week ending September 05, 2018, partly reflecting increased government payments at the end of the month. As a result, the weighted average interbank rate declined to 5.52 per cent from 5.84 per cent in the previous week," the CBK said in the bulletin.
The overdraft amounts to deficit financing or creation of paper money, which is not backed by assets. In large amounts, the financing has the potential to spur demand-driven inflation by injecting too much cash in the markets when no real goods or services are produced at the same time to counter the effect.
By law, the government is restricted to borrowing up to five per cent of the most recently audited total revenue (which has been used in recurrent expenditure).

Journey of discovery across New Zealand showcased in new global campaign
A diverse range of regional New Zealand experiences are showcased in Tourism New Zealand's new global 100% Pure New Zealand campaign – 'where one journey leads to another'.
The new campaign launches this week and will run for the next two years using sophisticated digital marketing to find and convert people 'dreaming' about a New Zealand holiday, into booking a holiday.
It is also the first piece of activity to be delivered from Tourism New Zealand's new four year strategy that targets greater dispersal of visitors into more of New Zealand's regions. The campaign also encourages off peak travel through supporting airline or travel agency partnerships.
Tourism New Zealand chief executive Stephen England-Hall says the campaign is delivered in two parts and is supported by Tourism New Zealand's world-leading partnerships with Facebook and Google, WeChat and Qyer.
Video Where one journey leads to another
"The first part is the dream content – the sweeping, cinematic style advert that is designed to find people who already dream about a New Zealand holiday. We know this will grab their attention and really build that desire to travel here.
"Once we have found our dreamers, we will re-target them with different content designed to get them planning a holiday and finally, booking it with one of our supporting industry partners."
"The content we have created shows off the incredible range of experiences New Zealand has to offer, addressing one of the key barriers to travel which is 'what is there to see and do."
"From diving at Poor Knights Island one of the world's top dive locations, exploring a glacier on the West Coast and enjoying the beauty of the Kepler Track in Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the campaign shows that there really is something for everyone in New Zealand."
New content will be released in a few weeks to support consumers in planning and booking their holiday. The content provides more specific information on travel routes, places to see, things to do – and some of the Kiwi hospitality to be experienced along the way.
Content will direct consumers back to newzealand.com where all the information needed for a holiday is found.
"We would like to thank the many regions that took part and helped us create something that we think is really special. We're excited to share it and hope that New Zealanders will be as proud as we are to see the breadth of country shown in this way," says Stephen.
The campaign supports Tourism New Zealand's work to spread visitation across the country and the seasons.
"Tourism is the number one export industry in the country, we are working to spread the many benefits tourism brings across the country and during the off-peak season."
Recently released visitor data shows notable off peak increases. "We are pleased that our work is having a direct impact on this with recent data showing an increase in spring 2016 and autumn 2017 visitation – up 16.1 per cent and 10.2 per cent respectively."
The campaign launches this week and will run in all Tourism New Zealand's target markets.
The following regions are featured in the main 'dream' feature. Planning and booking content will differ by market and will be released over the coming weeks.
• Waitangi Treaty Grounds
• Poor Knights Island Marine Reserve
• Paihia Farmers Market
• Hobbiton
• Rotorua – Polynesian Spa
• Abel Tasman National Park
• Franz Josef Glacier
• Haast Blue Pools
• Bowen Falls
• Kepler Track
