Have you ever thought about getting paid for what you know? Would you like to know how to start a successful coaching business?
Marc Mawhinney is an expert at coaching others on how to effectively position themselves as an expert, in order to get paid top dollar for their knowledge. He joins me for an in-depth conversation on the Go For Launch podcast.
Marc is on a mission to help coaches build stronger businesses. He has a passion for entrepreneurship, having started a number of businesses in his life and growing one to 100 employees.
This episode is on iTunes, Soundcloud and Stitcher.
After becoming a coach, Marc saw the struggles that other coaches face while trying to build a successful business, and decided to do something about it. He launched Natural Born Coaches, a daily podcast where he interviews successful coaches to share their advice with listeners. He has created a number of innovative programs to help coaches get more clients and less stress, including his 6 week "Seize Your Niche" program.
In the show, Marc talks about the rise and fall of his first company (in the real estate industry). He also talks about the dangers of growing too quickly and not having mentors early on.
After recovering from his real estate business closure and taking a "9-to-5" job, he began coaching on a part-time basis, which led to his current full-time consulting business. His advice touches on getting past the "hourly rate" consulting trap in order to get paid for the value you provide.
Marc also gets into some difficult topics, such as the challenges of being an entrepreneur on marriage and family life.

I'm not going to…oh, for the love…Season five warning. Episode related: Swan Song. Yet another obsessed reuniting story.
Disclaimer: Sssssssssssoooooooooooooo… not the owner.
Rated: It will never happen / angst / fluff. Dean pov.
God help me, but I couldn't keep my promise. From sunrise to sunset - I just couldn't. There was something more out here. What? I had no clue, so I just drove. From state to state. Aimless and alone.
But today felt different.
My heart was racing as fast as my car and I was driving on autopilot. What was I out here searching for? Everything I had was gone. All I was doing was adding miles onto Baby. She wasn't getting any younger. I loved my car, but not as much as…I cringed.
'Keep his memory alive in your heart', Cas had said. 'Sam would want you to hold tight to that apple pie life', Bobby voiced his unsolicited opinion. How was I supposed to do any of that? Sam was haunting me, even though I was certain he didn't know he was. I saw him everywhere, but he was just a vaporous figment. We'd never share another beer, a prank, a knowing smile, a punch to the face - I didn't even get to say goodbye.
I had always been there for him. From day one. There to catch him when he was two and almost fell down the steps. There to catch him when he slid like a wild-child down a slide. There to catch him in every way a mother, or father would. The way a brother would. Sam wasn't a boy anymore. He was a man, but I still wanted to catch him. Sam didn't want that. I had to let him go. Had to let him make his own choice. So he fell, into that pit, into that hole of despair. And I sat and watched him. And now he was gone. Sam was just gone.
Adam had fallen, too. I didn't know the kid, didn't even know I had a half-brother, but still, he was blood. I felt guilty as shit I didn't morn Adam the way I was morning Sam. Even the pain of losing dad didn't touch the inconsolable pain Sam had left behind. There was a huge empty spot deep inside of me, the weight of which bore down like the cosmos itself sat on my shoulders. Yet, I couldn't shake the feeling there was something more. Something that kept eluding me - maybe it was my sanity.
Every once in awhile, I'd see things. Out-of-the-corner-of-my-eye sort of things. Now you see him, now you don't, ghost-like sort of things. So many times I swore I could sense someone beside me. Feel a hand to my shoulder, or a sudden rush of cold - but no one was there. I wasn't scared or threatened by the ghostly sensation, it wasn't evil - it was standing guard - it was Sam. Maybe it was my childish imagination hoping against all hope, or more so, I truly had lost my mind.
I recalled one morning while shaving in Lisa's bathroom I'd seen him. Just standing there with that dorky smile, leaning against the doorframe, staring. Lots of times I saw him in the car, or in the organic section of the Piggly Wiggly Lisa shopped at. Once, I even saw him under a light post. I swore I wasn't hallucinating. I swore it was Sam. Each and every time. Ghost or angel? I didn't know. But every time I would turn to look directly at him - he was gone.
My grief was undreamt of - and overpowering everything else in my mind. I never mentioned any of that to Lisa. I just told her how broken I was. How I was torn into a thousand, million pieces and scattered a billion, trillion different ways. How it wasn't fair of me to put that on her and Ben. How I just couldn't do it. Work nine-to-five, mow the lawn, trim the hedges, paint the fence. My life was becoming nothing more than a ritual. I drank my morning coffee, but didn't taste anything. I looked at the paper, but never read the words, and I went to work - every day going by in mind-deadening slowness.
I was a take action sort of guy. I couldn't be what Sam wanted me to be. Hell, I couldn't be what I wanted me to be. I tried - and I just couldn't. So I left Ben and Lisa - far behind.
I didn't know where I was going -just was driving. Driving in silence. A silence that had been killing me for over six months now. From town to town, I wandered. A rambling man who'd die before he ever settled down. So, here I was on some forgotten, unnamed mountain road overlooking the sea - no guardrails to stop me from going over the edge.
There wasn't much traffic as I sped at high speeds around twists and turns, but I really wasn't seeing those. All I was seeing was Sam - around every bend.
I stared out the windshield at the road in an almost trance-like state. I looked out the driver side window out over the ledge, and didn't even wince when I pictured myself deliberately aiming my car toward the cliff. I could go out fast and furious. The only thing between me and getting out of this hell and into Sam's - was a few feet of road. As a suicide, I was certain to go down under.
Suddenly, that unseen hand of protection was there. Sam's ghost was angry at what I was contemplating. That theory was confirmed when I felt my rear wheel bumping along the ground.
"Shit!" I banged a fist to the steering wheel.
Flat tires were normally just a nuisance, but today the coincidence was as flat as day old beer. The tire disintegrated quickly and I lost speed, lost my chance to go where the sun never shined. Auto shop 101 - try speeding your car over a cliff with a tire at zero inflation pressure. Not going to happen. I wasn't happy listening to the tire flap wildly in the wheel well as I slowly pulled over to the shoulder of the road. I got out of my car and could hear the "ssssssss" coming from the rear right tire. Crouching down for a closer inspection, I found what had caused the damage and pulled a nail from the ripped lining.
"Son of a bitch."
I tossed the nail aside, and stood to get my keys from the ignition, pop open the trunk, repair the flat and get back to business. That was all I had on my mind at the moment.
Peering into my trunk and rummaging around, I realized I was missing one very important 'how to' ingredient - the jack.
"What kind of shit do you think you're pulling!" I was pissed. "You think this is funny!" I kicked the car door, not knowing who the hell I was ranting at and ten times more pissed-off for leaving a dent in my baby - redundant as that was. "Why can't you just leave me alone!" I threw my tantrum, pulling my hair and stomping about in a small circle. "Cut me a break!" I looked around. What was I going to do now? My body trembled, my fists clenched, and I bit my lip hard. I swallowed, trying to find my nerve. Gravity could still have its way with me - all I had to do was get a running start and hurtle myself over the edge. Breathless, I turned toward the horizon and watched as twilight burst into dawn, the sun painting the sky blood red. I felt so cold and shivered hard as I leaned against my disabled car
Then I saw him, standing on the edge of the cliff and I felt the color drain from my face at the same time electricity seemed to jolt through me. I shook my head. Couldn't be. I had to press myself up against the hot metal of the car further to keep from falling to my knees. This was no vapors ghost, no disembodied voice in my head, no out-of-the-corner-of-my- eye, figment, but really him. How'd I know it was him? Because Sam was/is my entire life, and I am not crazy - least I didn't think I was crazy.
"Sam?" I pushed away from the car and unsteadily stepped over toward the edge of the cliff where he stood looking down.
My senses were on high alert. I could hear the calming flow of water against the sand far below. I took another step and another. I could almost taste the salt and I swore I could smell the molten lava that bubbled in hell. He turned to face me. Standing stiff and tall, the wind blowing through his hair and taking the tears that had welled up in his eyes with it. I froze. All I could do was stare. Sam stared back, looking as sad as a boy about to shoot his rabid dog.
"Oh, God." I held my breath, time and space hung between us, keeping me from taking another step toward that cliff. "But…"
"It's okay," Sam said, firmly.
"But…" My hands started shaking uncontrollably.
"It's me."
"But…" I swallowed my heart back down into my chest.
"Dean." I could hear the twinge of sorrow in his voice. "You didn't keep your promise."
"But…" I shook my head. "I couldn't," I exhaled, taking one-step toward Sam, mesmerized, looking him up and down. "It's you. How are you here?"
"I…I don't know much." Sam's turn to take a step toward me. "All I know is you were going to kill yourself." Sam hitched a thumb over his shoulder, indicating the cliff behind him. "And that you need the same damn thing I do…" He lifted a shoulder, shrugging. "Each other," he answered my unspoken question.
I nodded. "Wasn't killing myself, dude, got a flat tire," I muttered, taking another step in his direction.
"That's crap, Dean." Sam shuffled closer. "Won't find me, you know… down there." He pointed downward and I knew he wasn't talking about the sandy beach far below us.
Sam approached me in sloth-like movements.
"Tell me I'm not crazy," I whispered, inching nearer.
"You're a little crazy," Sam whispered back, hesitating to take the last step.
And that's when I truly knew. Before Sam could take that last step - I did - putting an arm around his neck and yanking him close.
"Sammy," I declared, hugging so tight I just about cracked him in half. He didn't struggle or try to pull away, just hugged me as bone-crushingly tight as I was hugging him - his body shaking along with mine.
Our legs gave out at the same time and we hit the gravel with our knees; never releasing our hold of one another. I closed my eyes, feeling Sam breathing hard and fast against my neck.
It made no sense. But what in our lives ever did. Call it what you will - Kismet, serendipity, fate, destiny, chance, fortune, holy intervention, the undying, never-ending love of family. Christ, call it bullshit, I don't care. The how's and why's didn't matter. I didn't want to understand. I didn't need to understand, and I swore I'd never ask another question. Ignorance was bliss, and Sam was never going to fall again.
The end

Hi, I recently switched from linuxmint debian edition to ubuntu 12.04 and I am experimenting wireless intermittent disconnections.
The amount of time that passes before getting disconnected is very random: sometimes it takes 3-4 hours, sometimes it takes 15-20 minutes, etc.
I was able to look at /var/log/syslog and the following is part of the output of the exact time when the connection drops:
Feb 21 14:45:17 msibox kernel: [28921.840952] rtl8187: wireless radio switch turned off
Feb 21 14:45:17 msibox kernel: [28921.939953] wlan0: deauthenticating from c9:3b:34:48:a5:f0 by local choice (reason=3)

... (long output)
Is there something I can do for avoiding these intermittent disconnections?
I would really appreciate any help on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I never had this problem in linuxmint.

No American outlets, no office or staff on site.
Very helpful and attentive staff, good breakfast and location, location , location. stones throw away from the eiffel. expect better housekeeping services in the room.
Close proximity to everything. Being able to see the Eiffel Tower from the hotel so closely was fantastic. The front desk staff were always helpful and very friendly.
its very close 2 effiel tour its rooms r very very very small,the hotel is very crowded,,
It is clean the staff is friendly and the food is good The room is small there is no lotion, conditioner, or snacks in the mini fridge
Near to Eiffel Tower. It takes 5 minutes walk to Eiffel Tower. Hotel room facing Eiffel Tower.
No American outlets, no office or staff on site.
Location, breakfast buffet, separate toilet for a 4 star hotel, it looked a bit outdated with little damages to walls, doors etc
Location of the hotel is very good and all the staff with whom we were involved was of extreme sympathy and they matched all our needs with an outstanding sense of professionalism. -
Excellent position very close to Eiffel Tower. General quality of hotel. Good value for price paid. Very poor experience booking in at hotel. It took over an hour and a half and being issued with four rooms before getting right room. First room was smoking room - booked NON-smoking. 2nd room allocated was occupied by someone else! Third room allocated was a double room with no bed for my son. Check in staff were friendly and apologetic but should not have let this happen and have done more to get it right and make amends. Other staff very friendly and helpful.
good restaurant. central position
Location and convenience. The Lobby was quite nice. And the staff were helpful. No complimentary Internet for hotel guest. I had to brin my laptop which you don't on a holiday. Other mercure hotels around Europe offer it.
A well located hotel within easy walking distance to Eiffel Tower, local restaurants, a number of Paris museums and the river. Quiet. In-house breakfast poor.
Very clean and modern hotel with above average room size for Paris. A block away from the Eiffel Tower!
Location was near the Eiffel tower and public transportation. Restaurants nearby. Rooms did not have any drawer storage for clothes, There was room for 2 night stands yet there was only one. Paint color in rooms and hall was depressive,
Staff was rude and unaccommodating. Rooms were not available at the checkin time and staff repeatedly instructed patrons to come back every hour which ruined a day of travel. Wouldn't recommend for vacation travelers.
Location & friendlyness. Location & friendlyness.
Location n view of eiffel
Very helpful and courteous staff. The hotel is in need of refurbishment. It will be very difficult to remain classified as **** unless this is done very soon. The 'free' wi-fi is very slow in the rooms.
the breakfast buffet was incredible. Great variety, amount and quality. We also loved that the staff controlled entry to the buffet area so everyone got seated nicely and it kept the start of the mornings pleasant. The free Wi-Fi they offer is a bit too slow to do much, so it is almost necessary to buy the upgrade for 22 Euros/day they offer.
Very clean and modern hotel with above average room size for Paris. A block away from the Eiffel Tower!
The whole experience was excellent -- I was very impressed. Staff were unfailingly attentive, the dinner excellent, the breakfast full of available variety. The view of the tower from the balcony impressed my grand-daughter!I am not all that easily pleased, so not inclined to easily give high ratings, but I have to say that every aspect of the stay was excellent. Nothing.
Location was near the Eiffel tower and public transportation. Restaurants nearby. Rooms did not have any drawer storage for clothes, There was room for 2 night stands yet there was only one. Paint color in rooms and hall was depressive,
The hotel room is so spacious and comfortable. The location is so close to Eiffel Tower. None
The view of the Eiffel Tower was worth the cost of the hotel. The furniture was a little shabby for the price of the room.
The close proximity to both the Metro and Eiffel Tower, River Seine were the only plusses. The room was spacious, but even thought tea/coffee sachets were supplied, there were no cups. We asked 3 times before cups were provided, then the cups were not replaced on the following day. In addition, toilet paper was not replenished and we asked but without success. The bathroom floor had not been cleaned and there were large strands of hair in the toilet on arrival. All in all, housekeeping left alot to be desired.

Seriously? If it takes a certain amount to kill weeds and you empty out a backpack and the absolute most amount of a product including round up if 10% of the amount called for is what are you worried about? The left over residue is way too weak to do anything.
I keep a few rubber grommets on hand just to be safe.
I check mine now and then and lube them up with some fluid film. Also makes it easier to break the seal when they are pressurized and doesn't degrade the rubber as far as I can tell. I've replaced a few over time.
This was my concern. I figure most wash their tanks at a shop or home, it would start to build up and was wondering if anyone used a type of containment system for that purpose.
I know it may seem overkill but I have not done things properly in the past and until I got my license I have been paying more attention to details. I'm no newbie, and probably been spraying round up before many of you were even born. Just never stop learning, ya know...
And thats the way it should be. Nothing wrong with following the rules and treating this all with respect. Another tip for you new guys and especially guys that don't use a lot of product is to not over fill. Only load what you need so you don't end up with a bunch of extra.
But remember where you are and whats going on and what you plan to do, and empty the tank on a lawn or the property you loaded it for...if after that you don't plan on using the sprayer for a week or so.
Plus...This is Important. You guys should not be loading flowables, wettable powders, powders of any kind, suspensions or emulsifiable(sp) concentrates in your sprayers or you are asking for trouble.
Liquids only please.
I think the reason why some of you keep blowing out sprayers is because your trying to spray product through there that really has no business being in the sprayer, let alone sitting for ANY length of time.
I never clean my sprayers other than when winterizing because they are dedicated and I only spray liquids.....and there is nothing to gunk up or clog or corrode.
I have never had a problem mixing and washing out on site. If anything, transport of mixed solutions on the road is not encouraged either. Ground termite treatment is a big thing in my state. The PCO's do not roll around town with 100 or 200 gallon loads on their trucks. They fill and use up solutions on site.
It gives security. You feel it worked.

17 Fall Pieces You Should Buy From The Outnet's Mega-Sale Before It's Too Late
Working in New York City and running around all day from photo shoots to meetings, we know a thing or two about an achy foot. Don't let the movies fool you—fashion editors are not in sky high, exotic stilettos from dusk to dawn. Sensible block heels and easy-to-clean patent leather are what the ELLE editors favor.

Where ever justified, the 510(k) submission process is the preferred method for obtaining marketing clearance in the U.S. How is this decision arrived at? If the 510(k) route is justified, what is involved? Sequence of events? What's included? Desired format? The three types of 510(k)s and what's involved in each. Expected time frames and the post-submission review process "give-and-take".
Areas Covered in the seminar:
- U.S. FDA Class I, II, and III products.
- 510(k) determination - new; and substantially modified.
- Three types of 510(k)s and which is justified.
- The importance of the "Intended Use" statement.
- How to locate predicate devices?
- Choosing the predicate device(s) for the 510(k) - important considerations.
- Risk Analysis; Software considerations / reporting.
- What to include, what to hold in abeyance?
- The 510(k) and the DHF files.
Who will benefit:
- Senior Management.
- New product Project leaders / Team Members
- Regulatory Affairs
- Quality Systems Personnel
- R&D and Engineering Staff
- All charged with new product development, risk analysis / management, regulatory submissions, and validations.

Jury dismissed in trial of taxi driver accused of biting passenger's thumb
A jury has failed to reach a verdict in the case of a taxi driver accused of biting off the top of a passenger's thumb.
Lookman Kareem (48) of Glenvara Park, Knocklyon, Dublin pleaded not guilty to assault causing harm to Darren O'Connor and assault of Noelle Donohue at Rathmines on December 22, 2013.
In the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today, the jury of 10 women and two men found Mr Kareem not guilty of assaulting Noelle Donohue but were unable to reach a verdict on the alleged assault of Mr O'Connor.
Mr Kareem broke down in tears as Judge Patricia Ryan dismissed the jury, who deliberated for just under four hours.
The trial heard Mr O'Connor, his girlfriend Noelle Donohue and two of Ms Donohue's sisters were in Mr Kareem's taxi in the early hours of the morning when they started laughing at his first name.
Ms Donohue told the court her sister said, "Look man, go whatever way you want" to Mr Kareem when discussing which route to take. She said her sister then noticed his name on the driver ID card was Lookman and the group started laughing about it.
The court heard Mr Kareem allegedly became aggressive, shouting "Shut the f*** up, shut the f*** up, you Irish".
The prosecution alleged Mr Kareem punched Noelle Donohue in the nose when she tried to take his ID card, before hitting her twice when the car pulled over. He then got into a scuffle with Mr O'Connor and allegedly bit the top of his thumb off.
Mr O'Connor told the court he felt "excruciating pain" in his hand.
"The top of my thumb was gone," he said. "I couldn't believe the pain. I was just looking for a piece of my thumb on the ground."
A passer-by who came on the scene told the court he saw Mr Kareem spit "something" out of his mouth while another man at the scene screamed "my finger".
Mr Kareem alleged the passengers were the aggressors and had racially abused him before the incident. He denied knowing how Mr O'Connor lost the top part of his thumb.
Mr Kareem said the group was passing his ID around and taking photos of it. He told gardaí that when he told them they weren't allowed handle his ID, they replied, "This is our country, we can say what we want, we can do what we want. Go back to your own country if you don't like it".
Mr Kareem alleged he was then dragged out of the taxi by three of the passengers who punched and kicked him while he was on the ground. He said the male passenger punched him to the head and jaw while some passers-by, including a man dressed as Santa Claus, tried to stop it.
Judge Patricia Ryan adjourned the matter to April 28, when a decision will be made on a retrial.

March is quickly upon us which means so is a new round of Blogger Happy Hour. I am super excited about March's co-host which happens to be Bonnie from Life Of Bon. If you know Bonnie at all, you know the girl can write. You would also know that she is very strategic, very smart, and very witty. Bonnie and I have exchanged multiple emails over the past few years working together to think of the best next thing that we could do in this blogging world.
If you are unsure of what this whole Blogger Happy Hour thing is let me explain–basically it's an hour (which easily turns into an hour and a half, we are women, we know how to talk) in a Google+ hangout with myself, Bonnie, and 8 other bloggers. During the happy hour, each blogger has the opportunity to ask a question pertaining to blogging. Bonnie and I will answer it to the best of our ability, and then open it up to anybody else to give their input. Basically it's an awesome way to get the viewpoints, expertise, and input from 10 bloggers on any given subject. It's fun, it's relaxing, it's informative, and it's a great way to meet and create a community with other bloggers. Feel free to check out #bloggerhappyhour on Instagram to see what people are saying about it!

Well, it's that time again. Hello, and welcome to another edition of One Piece: Battle Betting Corner (OP: BBC. No one's sued yet, so I think we're in the clear). I'm DancePowderer, and as usual, I have a guest panel with me, and here they are. Please, give it up for Zoro, Robin, returning guest Nami, and Neptune! Well, Zoro, you are about to fight Hordy Jones, a former soldier in the Neptune Army, a powerful pirate captain, and the scourge of Fishman Island! Let's kick this off by you giving me your take on the upcoming fight.
Zoro: Ugh, did it have to be under water? I like fighting on land better. I really hope the water doesn't slow me down.
DP: Valid worries, Zoro, valid worries. Nami, you know a thing or two about under water stuff, what is your take on the fight? Nami? Huh, wait, where'd she go? She was just here a moment ago.
Zoro: Oh yeah, she apparently ran off somewhere. Brook told Usopp who told me, no clue where she is.
DP: Ok, anyway...Robin, I'd love to hear your take, a view of the fight coming from someone not directly involved in what led up to it.
Robin: Well, I have no clue what's going on at the palace. Although, going by what Zoro said, I do agree he will have an advantage fighting underwater against a fishman, similar the the handicap Sanji faced when fighting against Arlong's subordinate Kuroobi.
DP: Hold on, how did you find out that Jones is a fishman and how Sanji fought Kuroobi because-
Robin: Poneglyph.
DP: Poneglyph?
Robin: Poneglyph.
DP: Ok.....Your majesty, what do you make of the fight? Perhaps you have some advice to give to Zoro, having known Jones in the past and having the battle be on your home turf?
Neptune: Zoro, there is one weakness of Jones's that I think you should know. Do you by any chance have a saw, a pound of raw spaghetti, a funnel, a rock, a Skypiean bible written in Poneglyph, a rubber duck, and about three feet of sea train rail? With those combined, there is a way to defeat Jones.
Zoro: OF COURSE NOT!
Neptune: Oh. Dang, you're screw- I mean, you must defeat him with your raw power then.
Zoro: You mean, like what I was planning to do FROM THE BEGINNING!?
Neptune: Yeah, like that, whatever. (mutters) At least the water won't leave any blood stains.
Zoro: What did you say?
Neptune: Poneglyph, I mean, try not to break too much else. Believe it or not, the palace isn't insured, and there is going to have ot be a maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaajor tax hike next year to cover repairs.
DP: Then it's a good thing that no one on Fishman Island has cable, I hope. So, onto everyone's favorite part of the show, the betting! Zoro, as the fighter, you get to place yours first.
Zoro: The only money I have is the 100,000 beli I borrowed from Nami two years ago. That, and about 89,000,000 that I made doing stuff with Mihawk. So, 100,000 on the angry looking guy with the scar.
DP: Which angry looking guy with the scar?
Zoro: ME, you idiot.
DP: Whatever, sleepy. Robin, place your bet.
Robin: Well, Jones does have the advantage, but I don't want to hurt swordsman-san's feelings, so I'll put 20,000,000 beli on Jones and 19,000,000 on Zoro.
Zoro: Wait, where did you get 39,000,000 beli!?
Robin: Nami.
Zoro: What's kind of insane interest do you-
Robin: None.
Zoro: You know, I'm glad she ran away now.
DP: And lastly, Neptune, what's your bet.
Neptune: I bet the cost of the repairs on Zoro, which, thanks the the Left Minister's accounting, is estimated to be roughly 390,000,000 beli.
DP: Hey, Robin, if you place your bets at 10:1 on either fighter, you could make enough money to-
Robin: Nope.
DP: But you could help repair the-
Robin: Nope, mine.
DP: (Sighs) Ok, well that's it for One Piece: Battle Betting Corner. And for those of you watching at home, remember, you too can bet using our comments section. Tune in next time, good night!

China's Real Estate Bubble: To Pop or Not to Pop?
by Lorna Wilson
(Watch to 0:50)
In the imminent future, the government of China will be able to effectively control the rapidly growing real estate bubble that is threatening the entire nation.
The Chinese peoples' eagerness to industrialize and urbanize led to a largely increased demand for metropolitan real estate, which preceded the bubble. Like many others, "The China Bubble […] start[ed] out as a boom based on successful economic reforms and modernization that helped to lift hundreds of millions out of poverty" ("The China Bubble"). The real estate growth began as a great achievement that helped boost the country's GDP and rescue peasants from the paucity of the countryside. All ranges of people, from migrant workers to wealthy company owners, embraced the advancement. However, success quickly gave way to potentially dangerous circumstances as it "eventually devolve[ed] into an orgy of wild real estate speculation" and the "reckless construction of empty cities […] create[d] economic growth and materialism mania" ("The China Bubble"). The overzealous reaction of avaricious proprietors of the construction companies left the newfound economy vulnerable to a major crash.
The government itself also contributed to the creation of the property bubble through the banking system. For example, "bank deposits guarantee interest of only 2.25%, lower than inflation, which for months has been at more than 3%" (Asia News). The government enforced low interest rates to discourage saving and increased loaning in order to encourage spending, both originally designed to grow the economy. However, this effort spurred an unprecedented massive increase in real estate investment. In fact, "[s]ince the late 1990s, investment in China's real estate sector has been outpacing the country's impressive GDP growth, rising from around 4% of GDP in 1998 to around 14% of GDP by 2012" (Hirst). Consequently, China is left with a large overinvestment in property, and their financial system has become accustomed to relying on their realty.
Since China's economy became so dependent upon its real estate sector, if the real estate bubble were to pop, the financial standpoint of the entire nation would be put at stake. In the Communist Party's paper People's Daily, economist Yi Xianrong warned, "many investors rely on a constant increase in prices in the housing market, but the market is overheated. This is a serious threat to the Chinese economy" (Asia News). The threat grows with more new construction, which still occurs due to benefits for the giant companies, barring the workers. To make matters worse, "More than 60 million empty apartments await buyers, and the residential housing market is essentially comatose" ("China's Slowing Economy: The Worst Has Yet To Come"). Clearly, the amount of available realty has far exceeded the demand. However, the real estate sector still "accounts for between 25% and 30% of China's GDP (if upstream and downstream industries such as steel, cement, glass, furniture, and appliances are included), so it is impossible for the Chinese economy to regain momentum without reviving this vital industry" ("China's Slowing Economy: The Worst Has Yet To Come"). The whole economy can be significantly impacted by merely the property sector; therefore, the imminent threat of recession has become an overbearing need to solve the problem before the bubble bursts.
The real estate boom benefitted groups in all ranges of social classes, but as the boom turned into a bubble, those groups were affected quite differently. In the beginning, the middle class families settling into city life benefitted greatly from the increase of urbanization. But as realty took on a more capitalist influence and elite members of construction and manufacturing companies began reaping the rewards, the focus of the market shifted, allowing the bubble to grow as long as it benefitted those in charge. Growth continued because a "weakening property market could drag down China's growth and pose significant risk to local government balance sheets in the country, which rel[ied] heavily on land sales to developers for revenues" (Hirst). Local government pressure placed upon these companies prompted a corrupt system focused solely on growth, both privately as well as nationally. According to Chuang, an avid researcher of Chinese migrant workers, "The Chinese state has 'always turned a blind eye' to the vulnerability of migrant workers," because "this is how you fuel industrialization for so cheap and at such a fast pace" ("The Second-Class Workers behind China's Urban Construction Boom"). Thus, millions of migrant workers from rural villages are left working in exceedingly poor conditions for low wages and under none of the protection provided by Chinese labor laws. These significant changes to Chinese life come simply as a consequence of the real estate surge.
Despite the strong desire for growth, the Communist Party of China recognizes that it cannot afford the extensive negative effects an unalloyed real estate crash would cause; therefore, the government will prevent such a crash from occurring at all costs. They recognize that the current measures encouraging growth "will likely cause an outright recession. For a leadership team that is up for reappointment in 2017, China's government will do just about anything to avoid this" ("China's Slowing Economy: The Worst Has Yet To Come"). Logically, political leaders stand a better chance at reappointment if they avoid a drastic crash in the coming couple of years, so each of them possess personal incentive to avoid the crash. In fact, the government has already begun installing reforms in effort to prevent this collapse, signifying their dedication to preventing this crisis. In January 2014, China "made several moves […] to do just this, including reimposing a sales tax on homes sold within five years of their purchase from this year and increasing the down payment requirement for property purchases to at least 50 percent of the total price" ("China's Real Estate Bubble"). With the proper motivation and the first steps already taken, the Chinese government is poised to regain control of the real estate sector of its economy in the oncoming years.
Although avoiding a long-term real estate crisis may hurt the short-term economy, the government will do their best to avoid it due to the importance of the middle class. Government reforms designed to slow the growth of the bubble have already resulted in financial deficit; for example, in June of 2014, "a sample of 70 major cities across China reported that housing prices dropped in 55 of them […] Annual growth in property investment grew 16.8 percent in the first three months of 2014, down from 19.3 percent in the first two months" ("Why China's Economy Can't Pop Its Real Estate Bubble"). The slow deflation of the real estate bubble, while not ideal for anyone, is essential to avoid a full-blown crash, which would significantly impact the middle class in particular. This social class, having risen incredibly quickly since the 1990s, controls an increasingly large portion of the nation's purchasing power. Many understand that "[c]ompanies that can effectively understand the composition and needs of this diverse group will be positioned to reap massive rewards" ("Understanding China's Middle Class"). If the middle class' investments—which are mostly in property—were to disappear, their purchasing power and the Chinese economy would go alongside it. Therefore, the government is able to sacrifice in the short-term in order to ensure that the middle class can retain the value of their property investments.
On the contrary, some experts believe that China's bubble will follow the pattern set by Japan's realty crash and their subsequent economic deficiency, as history often repeats itself. For instance, "the present slowdown has been led by a sharp reversal in housing construction, one that UBS economist Wang believes 'will bring dis-inflationary or deflationary pressures through various demand channels.' That, again, is uncomfortably evocative of the Japan syndrome" ("Is this the end of China's Economic Miracle?"). Because of the striking similarities between China and Japan's economies, the fear of following in Japan's footsteps is prevalent for Chinese politicians and economists. However, the Communist Party clearly is already addressing the emerging issue, which the Japanese government did not do before their crash. One expert admits, "One part of the comparison may be overwrought. In China, the residential real estate market is nowhere near as leveraged as Japan's was (or the U.S.'s after that). The damage from a significant correction, which is undeniably under way, is less likely to threaten the entire system" ("Is this the end of China's Economic Miracle?"). Thus, the Chinese economy will be far more under governmental control, making the two situations less similar and giving China a brighter look upon the future.

New Delhi: Manmohan Singh and 19 newly elected members of Parliament took oath as ministers in a simple ceremony at the President's house on Friday. The Cabinet includes new entrants like former Karnataka chief minister S.M.Krishna, former J&K CM Ghulam Nabi Azad, Veerappa Moily, and C P Joshi. Heavyweights like Pranab Mukherjee, P.Chidambaram and others from the previous government are likely to retain their portfolios.

In international news, it's the end of the LTTE, but peace for Lankan Tamils may still be far away. With the death of LTTE chief V. Prabhakaran, is looking forward to a time of peace. Its military victory over the Tigers is not seen as a lasting solution to the Tamil problem in the country. The root of the issue, the hostility faced by the Lankan Tamils continues. And while President Mahinda Rajapaksa has pledged to resettle most of the 300, 000 Tamils displaced by the war within six months, he may find that this is easier said than done.
And Jet Airways has been allowed by the aviation ministry to expand its services to West Asia. With some six million Indians estimated to be working in the region, the airline was quick to expand into the lucrative routes. But while Jet's rival Kingfisher does not operate in West Asia yet, large carriers expanding into the region would make the going tough for smaller carriers such as SpiceJet, which are also looking to fly international routes next year.

I, Robot Sequel Script Already Written
by Alex Billington
June 8, 2007
Source: Collider.com, SlashFilm
I'm sure I'm not alone here, but I thoroughly enjoyed I, Robot with Will Smith from 2004. It wasn't perfect, but it was a fun flick that now has a permanent spot in my DVD collection. As with any big-budget film in Hollywood these days, a sequel typically will be greenlit by studio execs after it performs well at the box office and is deemed a success. As with I, Robot, I would've never seen a sequel coming, largely because the story ends fairly well and it's based on a novel by Isaac Asimov that isn't part of a series. However Fox thinks otherwise (and we all know how that's turned out recently).
Collider.com talked with "Battlestar Galactica" producer Ronald D. Moore recently and discovered that he is writing a sequel to I, Robot that will hopefully go into production with a full feature budget.
Although Moore wouldn't speak at all to Collider about the story or any details, he did hint that it would be a bigger budget film and not just a direct-to-DVD sequel. Per a bit of information from SlashFilm, the director of the first I, Robot, Alex Proyas, said on the DVD that if there was a sequel, it would take place in outer space. He said it would be "a big space movie, with interplanetary action." That description doesn't sound very feasible as a sequel to an Isaac Asimov story, but it could just be the desire of Proyas and not what Moore has cooked up in his script.
We'll keep you updated on all the latest developments with the I, Robot sequel as they happen.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Student loan borrowers can expect the interest rates of their current private loans to rise slightly once the Federal Reserve increases rates.
Although it is uncertain how much the Fed plans to hike interest rates, many experts have said they believe it will be 0.25%. While some experts still predict the rate hike will not take place until 2016, others say a hike could still occur this fall. The good news is that the majority of borrowers will only see a minimal increase in their monthly payments unless a particular graduate borrowed larger amounts.
"A potential Fed rate increase of 0.25% wouldn't have much of an impact on the monthly payment for the average student loan borrower," said Bruce McClary, spokesman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization.
The interest rates of federal student loans do not change during the duration of a loan. Individuals who took out a private loan with a fixed interest rate will not have to worry about having to pay extra either.
Borrowers who took out private student loans with a variable interest rates should expect increases in their rates and monthly payments, because the variable rate is tied to the prime rate, said Jason Vasquez, a spokesman for Wells Fargo (WFC) , the San Francisco-based financial institution.
Interest rate increases are never favorable for borrowers, whether they have student loans or credit card debt, said Raj Rajan, CEO of Ceannate, a Rolling Meadows, Ill. company that works with the U.S. Department of Education on student loan and default issues. Graduates can look into plans which offer a reduction in monthly payment amounts, he said.
"Students do not react to rate changes the way auto or home buyers might, because their needs are more static," he said.

Not really. I'm a silly guy who grew up in the midwest, went to college in the midwest, and then left the midwest.
I'm one of five children, and my parents are pretty awesome.
I'm kind of nerdy. I like games (both digital and analog).
If you really wanna' get into it, Final Fantasy 3 might be the best game ever. But that's a conversation only certain people are privy to.
I read a lot of fantasy/sci-fi/everything growing up, so all you SAPS who suddenly think you're in because of one crap fantasy series about a wizard school can just go take it to Shai'tan.
So, if you like smoked animal flesh, I'm your guy.
I'd like to do more comedy and writing, but I'd be lying if I'd claim that was my job...yet.
I think I make some pretty nice spotify playlists sometimes.
I'm a very great walker, a good skier, and a sub-par snowboarder.
Terrible cook, but great at eating sandwiches. Go figure.
As for movies, I went to school for film, and as I get older, I think I pretty much like all movies. Even the most terrible ones give me some perverse joy. Though anything with that dreadful Julia Stiles is off limits for me...I had to stop watching DEXTER!!
Plus, come on, all the good stuff is in TV right now anyway. So many different stories about a family going through such-and-such.
Music is eclectic and I like listening to new things. I get very bored of any 'classic rock' playlists for instance.
I'm not a huge foodie, in that I don't really seek it out, but I like trying new things in this big ol' city. I'll go anywhere you want if you just need someone to go try it with.
Sandwiches with Cheese
Old Episodes of Seinfeld with Crackers and Cheese
How to write a solid joke. Can I write a solid joke? What are jokes?
If you tell someone they're full of "buttcrap" as opposed to "bullcrap" do you think they'd be more upset?
If it does, great! If not, I'm always in the market for new drinking buddies who like comedy shows and The Barcade. This is especially true if you're in/around Williamsburg.
I'm old enough now that I don't want to waste anyone's time if there isn't a connection.
Also, I'm 420 friendly.

Vaughan - No Harm done
England captain Michael Vaughan insists he isn't too concerned by Steve Harmison's form in the opening warm-up match.
Last Updated: 26/02/08 5:00pm
England captain Michael Vaughan insists he isn't too concerned by Steve Harmison's early form in New Zealand.
After concerns over a stiff back on his arrival Down Under, the Durham paceman struggled in his opening spell against a New Zealand Invitational XI on Monday.
He did manage to take 2-41 in 10 overs in the home side's first innings and picked up another victim before the close after the Invitational XI had been asked to follow-on.
Rather than be concerned by the bowler's performance, Vaughan feels the early signs are promising, particularly as Harmison did improve as the game wore on.
Good start
"I've seen him spray it worse than that so I suppose that's quite a good start - it's not all doom and gloom with him," stated Vaughan.
"During the first few days in Christchurch he was a bit rusty and got better and better and as the game and the day went on he got better and better.
"There are good signs and if he's selected for the three-day game, he's got another opportunity to bowl more and more."
The two-day warm-up match petered out to a tame draw with Vaughan rejecting the chance of extra batting practice on the final afternoon.
He admits his decision was partly down to the desire to get his bowlers more action ahead of the first Test in Hamilton, which can be seen live on Sky Sports.
"He (Harmison) was one of the reasons why we went out and bowled again, to try and give him some more overs," he added.
"He seems to be getting better and stronger and a lot more loose the more that he goes on so that's a good sign for us - no batsman in the world likes bounce and Steve provides that.
"He's worked hard at home. We're all under the microscope back home these days and you have to do all your training and you're monitored on the amount of batting and bowling that you've done.
"He's arrived in not the best of form, but he's working very hard."
Hot Hoggard
While Harmison may have had some early problems the rest of the bowling attack performed impressively, much to the delight of their skipper.
Vaughan was particularly pleased with the form of Matthew Hoggard, who helped to reduce a top order including four internationals to 26-5.
"We bowled excellently in the morning," he enthused. "Hoggy has hit his straps from the moment he arrived in Christchurch last week.
"He looks fit, strong and bowling how we know Matthew Hoggard can bowl so he should be a great plus for us.
"All the bowlers at times bowled very well and it's always nice to knock a few of the batsmen you're going to play against next week in Hamilton out and knock them over cheaply and early."
England's final warm-up fixture ahead of the first Test is a three-day contest against Otago at the same venue starting on Thursday.

Dr Vaknin
I have only recently stumbled upon the information on narcissistic parents. I have read enough for it to ring true.
I 'm a successful business women but my insightful boss has recently provided me with an exec coach and we have been exploring emotional intelligence. I read "the games people play" and a light bulb went on. A few more searches and I found children of narcissistic parents. The rest as they say is history.
I was 7 when my eldest sister left home at 17. Pregnant and into abussive relationship, she became a heron addict. Initially My parents vilified the sister I had adored and considered to be my carer. My parents grief for my sister leaving was profound. All I remember was silence, tears and I felt I could do nothing to make things better. At 7 how could I make it better? My sister was destined for great things but the evil man changed her.
My other sister left home at 17 to live in a damp flat. But she told me she needed to be away from home. I was 9.
My parents were looking after my grandmother who was dieing from cancer and all I could feel was resentment. It was like I didn't exist. But even as they looked after her they let it be known that she was a smoker and a drinker. In short her fault for dieing of cancer.
They bought me a pony, I had things but they never failed to tell me how expensive it was and how they couldn't afford it. I felt guilty for anything they gave me. I used to wish they wouldn't buy me anything because I couldn't handle the guilt.
My eldest sister was like a golden child that never was. She could have gone to Oxford University, she was so intelligent she never had to revise. I tried to live up to the myth that never was because my sister didn't go to university, she was a drug addict. But I wanted to please my parents. But I was not as intelligent as the myth. I had to work at it.
Since then my dad got arrested for shoplifting, he keyed his bosses car. All of this was dismissed as someone else's fault. I wanted so much to look up to my dad but he has struggled most of his life.
Now I feel I am too successful for my parents liking. They are jealous of me. I work hard, I love my kids but they criticise me any way. When they visit they seem to take pleasure in breaking things, telling me things have run out, making me feel guilty because I'm juggling so many balls and at times I'm not perfect.
I feel. Nothing for my mother who has told me I'm too fat, too thin, a ****. She never told me about pubity so that was a shock. She was more than happy for me to get married at 18 because that was "decent" and fit in to her romantic Ideals. In short I feel nothing and no matter how much I want to feel I'm numb.
My father stood by. I wanted him to stand up for me and in private he did but now he is just as bad.
It seems futile for me to ask you whether my parents may be narcissists but ask I will. I am seriously considering reducing any involvement with them. It feels so cold but I am at a point that I can't see positives from the interaction. But the worst thing is I am left wondering if I Am I the one that is narcissist. Is this natural?
Please help.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – A Lower Township man was sentenced to 18 years in state prison on Friday for the 2012 drunk-driving crash that killed two teenage girls who were walking for ice-cream on Bayshore Road.
Joshua Malmgren, 33, received nine years for each count after pleading guilty earlier this year to aggravated manslaughter in the crash that killed Ashley Dauber, 13, of Philadelphia, and her cousin Nioami Lazicki-Gaston, 15, of Middle Township, on July 31, 2012.
"I am a monster. I am so lost," Malmgren told the court after expressing his remorse to the girls' families.
After a day that involved three trips to a Lower Township liquor store to buy more beer and Sambuca, Malmgren was driving on Bayshore Road in the Del Haven section of Middle Township around 9:16 p.m. when his sport-utility vehicle drifted off the road and struck the two girls. A third girl, Nioami's sister Farrahanne Gaston, was nearly struck as well.
Malmgren stopped and called 911. Both girls died at the scene.
Malmgren had a blood-alcohol level of 0.18 or more than twice the state's legal limit. He also was taking prescription pain medicine for a broken left arm that exacerbated the effects of the alcohol, according to court records.
First Assistant Prosecutor Rob Johnson said Malmgren was texting when he took his eyes off the road.
The emotional hearing started with a video slideshow of family photos of the girls accompanied by music by performers such as Eric Clapton and Guns n' Roses.
The girls' young, smiling faces stared back at the defendant from pictures on twin easels.
Nioami would have been a senior this year at Cape May County Technical High School where she was planning to study criminal justice.
Farrahanne Gaston read an essay to the court that her sister wrote before her death. In it, Nioami, talked about how much her family meant to her.
"Joshua, I forgive you. I forgive you not because you deserve it but because I deserve peace," Gaston said.
Bill Gaston said his family would never be the same.
"Nioami was always more worried about others than herself. Sometimes, I swear I can hear her tell me it's OK," he said. "The pain that rests in our hearts is just as heavy today."
Ashley's family wore matching purple T-shirts warning of the dangers of drunk driving. Relatives said the curly-haired, green-eyed girl loved her family and doted on her little brother.
She listened to boy bands and liked scary movies.
"I won't be able to hear her voice again. I won't be able to do her hair on her wedding day," Ashley's sister, Kaitlyn Dauber, told Malmgren. "I miss her so much."
Court staff distributed three boxes of tissues to the two-dozen family members who sobbed throughout the hearing. Head bowed, the defendant, too, was in tears.
Malmgren has custody of his two children, including a disabled child. He was assistant manager of a convenience store. The crash was his first DWI. Apart from an assault charge as a juvenile, he had a clean criminal record.
A court review determined he was bipolar and continued to drink alcohol with his medications after the crash. He allegedly tried to commit suicide in Wildwood before police there intervened.
Johnson asked the judge to impose a heavy sentence as a warning to the public about the dangers of drinking and driving and texting and driving.
Two of Malmgren's friends had offered to drive him home when they observed he was intoxicated. He refused.

Chinese bronze censer auctions for $15,000 in UK
A stunning twin-handled Chinese bronze censer that is thought to date from the 18th century, but could be even earlier, beat its presale estimate when it sold for an impressive £9,500 ($15,041) on January 29.
The attractive bronze censer, used for burning incense, led the UK-based antiques and art sale, which also featured an historic, handwritten ledger from Manchester's Belle Vue Zoo.
The ledger brought £1,400 ($2,216) having been given a £100-200 presale estimate. The sale price represents a 600% increase on the item's top estimate.

Last week, we reported that the messaging oriented Samsung Character was bound for the US seeing that it was up on Samsung's US web site, but there was no mention as to which wireless provider would be offering it.
US Cellular decided to nap the device for themselves as it's now currently available for purchase for the affordable 2-year contract price of only $39.99. If owning a smartphone is rather too cumbersome or complex for you, then you might want to consider the Samsung Character instead seeing that it's nothing more than your middle of the road messaging phone. Nothing really big to boast about, it features a landscape sliding keyboard, 2.8" QVGA touchscreen, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, microSD card slot, and runs TouchWiz Lite.
For some people, signing a contract might not be something that jives with their character, but lucky for them, they can always choose to pick it up as a prepaid handset for an even more impressive $59.99 pricing.

Many beautiful chalices were created for Eucharistic use in Celtic churches, and remain some of the finest examples of such work in the world. Eventually, the cauldron and chalice of Christ merged into one symbol, and became synonymous with the mythical Holy Grail.Celtic Myths and Legends on the Cauldron and the Holy Grail.

|Paul Volcker
WASHINGTON ( TheStreet) -- Wall Street will take aim at the proposed "Volcker rule" on Thursday, with several big bank executives prepared to testify ahead of a Senate Banking Committee vote. Under the plan, large commercial banks would have to halt any capital markets activity that does not directly serve customers. Proprietary trading, investment banking advisory services, and anything having to do with hedge funds or private equity, would be prohibited activities at the country's largest banks.
President Obama supports the notion, which has been outlined and advocated by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who is now one of his top economic advisors. But Wall Street, unsurprisingly, is not a fan. The most diverse banks, like Bank of America ( BAC), JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) and Citigroup ( C), would need to determine how to hack off huge chunks of their operations, or simply close certain shops. It's unclear how the changes would affect others, like Goldman Sachs ( GS) and Morgan Stanley ( MS), but they would presumably need to get rid of their banking charters to continue business as usual. The entire speculative industry -- bank or not -- will face much stricter scrutiny whether Volcker succeeds or not. On Tuesday, Volcker and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin spent the better part of three hours outlining the benefits of the proposal. Despite Volcker's urgent tone and his assertion that breaking apart commercial and investment banking is the only way to effectively reform the industry, some members were skeptical. Ranking Republican Richard Shelby, of Alabama, was clearly opposed to the measure, launching questions that were condescending in tone. Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D., Conn.) didn't necessarily disagree with the reforms, but indicated that adding another restrictive measure after months of partisan bickering over a broad reform proposal, would only delay progress.

There's something to be said for rear-wheel-drive sports cars. It simply makes cars like the 1999 Mazda Miata more fun than a barrel of monkeys. The Miata combines the fun of its spiritual predecessor, the British sports car, with Japanese reliability and modern technology. Since its introduction in 1989, these attributes have enabled the Miata to become a favorite of sports car enthusiasts everywhere. With more than 430,000 units sold around the world since then, the Miata is now one of the best selling sports cars built today.
For 1999, Mazda's adorable little roadster receives a host of upgrades, including a thorough reworking of the car's exterior. The new Miata has a larger trunk than first-generation models, increased chassis stiffness, and an improved four-cylinder engine that now produces a zippy 140 horsepower.
From the factory, most British sports cars of the 1950s, '60s and '70s never made near that much power, but one thing they had in common with the Miata is rear-wheel drive, one of the essential elements of a classic British sports car. A typical vintage British sports car has narrow tires and rear-wheel drive — a combination that yields easily achievable oversteer. That is one of the most enjoyable traits of the Miata. It, too, has limits that are easily achievable.
Fun, and forgiving
Want to induce oversteer in a corner? Simply apply the throttle in the proper gear and the tail swings out appropriately. Had enough fun? To correct your newfound rear-end swagger, merely remove your foot from the throttle. Try that in a Camaro, Mustang or Porsche, and you stand a good chance of winding up in a ditch. By comparison, with its more balanced 50/50 weight distribution between front and rear tires, the Miata has wonderful stability and is much more forgiving.
For that reason, we are not sure why anyone would want anything larger than the 14-inch tires that come standard on the Miata. Sure, the available 15-inch wheels might look better, but those bigger tires push the limits of the car to a higher level — something we think detracts from the car's appeal.

- Nollywood Europe Golden Awards NEGA, is designed to honour Nollywood stake-holders, Nollywood stars, comedians, musician both in Africa and in the Diaspora. Others are; outstanding and blameless politicians, but with record great interest in the industry and businessmen and women who have played important roles in making Nollywood what it has become today. Also included are successful Africans, whose impact have been profound in the culture and tourism sector
Honour For Nollywood's Best
Honour For Nollywood's Best
TRAINED as a teacher, worked as a broadcaster and politician, Patience Ozokwo is clearly the queen of the Nollywood Silver screen. Undoubtedly one of Nollywood's beloved actresses, the movie star who is best idolized for playing a villain in most movie offerings was awarded the crest of 'Nollywood Living Legend' by the organizers of the NFFG and Nollywood E-Golden Award (NEGA). Popular as 'Mama Gee', the screen actress of innumerable credits is easily the hottest actress working in Nollywood at the moment. An amiable shining star and role model, Ozokwo's popularity has continued to soar each passing day. She is loved beyond description for her deftness in role interpretation.
Indeed the widow and mother of eight children—three boys and five girls, with the first five already married with children, has patiently lifted her precious albeit latent talent to a level that deserves wide recognition. Today the Enugu state born actress who is listed among those honoured during Nigeria's centenary celebration and who holds a national honour of Member of the Federal Republic (MFR) has become a source of inspiration to tons and tons of young actors.
An old girl of Anglican Girls School, now Ngwo Girls Secondary School who studied Mass Communication at the Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT), Ozokwo settled for a career in teaching after she trained at the Women Teachers Training College (WTTC) Afikpo, Ebonyi State. She soon jettisoned teaching job when she could no longer suppress the urge she had developed for broadcasting. Ozokwo joined Radio Nigeria Enugu where she worked as an announcer and producer in charge of women and youth programmes.
She freelanced a bit after she left Radio Nigeria in 1984, tried her hands on business, returned to the classroom to teach and then worked for four years, between 1992 and 1996 as the Women Development Officer for Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State. It was around this time that Mama Gee decided on a career in acting.

Victor Ifeanyichukwu Osuagwu
Hailed as a naturally gifted comic actor, Victor Osuagwu who is the current Chair of the Lagos State chapter of the Actors' Guild of Nigeria (AGN), was named the recipient of the outstanding Nollywood actor award. A University of Port Harcourt trained actor and a successful entrepreneur, Victor is a notable Nollywood personality and a household name whose ironic simplicity makes observers perceive him as one who is still alien to the trappings of both local and international fame
A native of Mbaise in Imo State who started acting right from childhood, the comic actor of many credits joined Nollywood in 1994, but it wasn't until five years later that he found a space in the crowded acting landscape. Producers won't cast him because he was not a known face. But things took a different turn when he featured in the sequel to the box office hit Evil Passion. It was from there that things began to look good for Victor who is married to Lolo Rosaline, mother of his adorable children. Indeed it was from there that things peaked for the devoted disciple of the comedy genre who has climbed steeply to become an indubitable icon that is regarded and adored both at home and abroad.
A devout Christian, a philanthropist and a member and founder of a number of humanitarian and non-governmental organization, Victor has featured in over 250 home movie productions with so many others still at various stages of productions. In his production pouch are critically acclaimed movies like Bird Flu, Lion Finger and Osama Bin La. Victor told his German fans that he has no regret being an actor, although one of his major concern is the fact that some people find it difficult to draw a line between Victor the man, husband and father and the personage he represents in movies which are mostly clownish characters.
