Russian opposition leader charged amid crackdown fears

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was charged with theft on Tuesday and could face up to 10 years in jail in what Kremlin critics say is a growing crackdown on dissent by President Vladimir Putin.

Navalny, an anti-corruption blogger who organized street protests that have dented Putin's authority, dismissed the charge as absurd and other opposition leaders accused Putin of using KGB-style tactics to try to silence his critics.

The most charismatic of the protest leaders and potentially the biggest threat to Putin, he was also barred from leaving the country in the latest of a series of moves against Putin's opponents since he began his six-year term as president in May.

Russia's federal Investigative Committee said Navalny, 36, had been accused of helping organize a plan to steal timber from a state firm called KirovLes, causing the government of the Kirov region to lose more than 16 million roubles ($497,000). The charges relate to 2009, when Navalny was advising the region's governor.

"This is really quite absurd and very strange," Navalny said as he left the Investigative Committee headquarters, where he was summoned to hear what he had expected to be a less severe charge over a case that was opened in 2010 but had been dormant.

"I will continue to do what I have been doing, and in this sense nothing changes for me," he said. "We believe that what is happening now is illegal. We will use the methods of legal defense at our disposal. What else can we do?"

The charges, in a country where few believe in the independence of the judiciary, signaled a toughening of the Kremlin's stance against its opponents.

Putin, an ex-KGB spy, has in the last few weeks pushed through a law raising fines for protesters, tightened controls of the Internet - often used to organize protests - and imposed tougher rules on foreign-funded campaign and lobby groups.

Some protest organizers' homes have been raided, and some demonstrators arrested over a rally that turned violent on May 6. However, the protest leaders have not so far faced long jail sentences which could backfire against the Kremlin by rallying support for the opposition.

"We should be concerned with attempts in Russia to silence fierce opposition activist Alexei Navalny," Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said on Twitter.

"CHEKIST METHODS"

Navalny, a lawyer, is one of the few people regarded as capable of becoming a viable leader of the fractious opposition, although critics say he has nationalist tendencies.

He gained prominence by fighting corruption at state-controlled companies and used the Internet to do so, appealing to a tech-savvy generation of urban Russians.

Before a parliamentary election last December he helped to energize a struggling opposition, popularizing a phrase referring to the ruling United Russia party, then headed by Putin, as the "party of swindlers and thieves".

He was also among the leaders of protests prompted by fraud allegations in the election on behalf of United Russia.

"This case has been fabricated from beginning to end," said Boris Nemtsov, a prominent Putin opponent. "The true reason for what is happening is Putin's mortal fear of losing power ... He is wildly afraid of the opposition, including Navalny."

In a reference to the Cheka secret police, a precursor of the Soviet KGB, Nemtsov said: "Putin is using traditional Chekist methods ... Fabricated cases, charges, arrests, jail."

Billionaire businessman Alexander Lebedev, a shareholder in Aeroflot who nominated Navalny to the board of the state-controlled Russian airline, described the case as "completely ridiculous" and likened it to tactics used against Soviet dissidents during the Cold War era.

Putin was elected president on March 4 despite the largest protests since the start of his 12-year rule, during which he has served as president for eight years and as premier for four.

At times attendance at the rallies reached more than 100,000, witnesses said, although they have become less frequent since Putin was re-elected.

Putin, 59, signed a law on Monday toughening punishment for defamation and another on Tuesday that opponents say could be used to censor the Internet. He also said on Tuesday that people have the right to protest but warned that the authorities would act swiftly if demonstrators violated the law.

"They should act within the law. If they attack the police, throw stones at them, such actions without any doubt should be stopped, and stopped in their early stages," he said at a youth camp on a lake north of Moscow, warning against riots breaking out as happened in London last year.

Putin also repeated assertions he made during his election campaign that some demonstrations were managed from abroad.

MORE DETENTIONS

Police outnumbered small groups of protesters who gathered in central Moscow on Tuesday evening to protest what they say are severe restrictions on Russians' constitutional right to free assembly. Police said 25 people were detained.

Similar protests, held on the last day of every month that has 31 days, have led to dozens of detentions in the past.

In a case which critics say will indicate how Putin plans to treat opponents during his new term, three women from the punk band "Pussy Riot" went on trial on Monday over an unsanctioned protest performance at the altar of Russia's main cathedral, where they called on the Virgin Mary to "throw Putin out!"

After an initial session lasting nearly 12 hours, the defendants said they were being deprived of food and sleep.

"The court must create the conditions necessary for the sides to carry out their procedural responsibilities. You are violating these rights," Maria Alyokhina told the judge from the courtroom cage where the women are confined during proceedings.

"We're not sleeping, we're not eating," she said.

Alyokhina and her bandmates face up to seven years in jail over a protest they say was aimed against the close relationship between Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church. ($1 = 32.1900 Russian roubles)

Microsoft Preps Windows 8 Keyboard, Mice for Surface, Other Devices

Microsoft has introduced three new mice and two mobile keyboards, all designed to optimize the user experience with its upcoming Windows 8 platform and Surface tablet.

Microsoft introduced the Surface during a June 18 event in Los Angeles but didn't make clear whether the keyboard-slash-cover?a trait instantly distinguishing the Surface from Apple's iPad?would be sold separately. Pricing and availability questions also went unanswered.

Similarly, the company glossed over the fact that Microsoft had, in unveiling an impressive piece of hardware at an invitation-only event, stepped out ahead of its hardware partners, insisting that Microsoft had long been making mice.

In a July 30 press release introducing its new products, Microsoft hardly filled in any blanks. A likely guess, though, is that the keyboard-cover it showed off in Los Angeles will be sold separately?an add-on accessory like these more traditional keyboards. (If it were included, and Microsoft is still offering these additional options, it wouldn't be a great vote of confidence for the user experience of that keyboard, though certainly there are always sticklers for more traditional keyboards, and options are a welcome thing.)

A Wedge Touch Mouse, priced at $69.95, offers four-way touch scrolling and navigation, and an "artful and minimalist design" that wirelessly connects to a tablet or laptop through Bluetooth. As exaggerated an evolution as Apple's hockey puck mouse, the Wedge looks something like an elongated gym-teacher whistle.

Like all the new mice, the Wedge features BlueTrack technology, which enables it to operate on a variety of surfaces, including most couches, should it come to that. When the device it's paired with is powered down, the Wedge Touch Mouse automatically goes into Backpack Mode, to help save the life of its AA battery.

The new Wedge Mobile Keyboard, which runs on three AAA batteries, is a sleek, full-size keyboard, complete with Hot Keys and media keys. Designed specifically for use with tablets, it features a snap-on cover?to protect it from crumbs and scratches when it's thrown in a bag or stored in a desk drawer?that can double as a tablet stand. Bluetooth technology again connects it to a tablet.

Engadget reports that this rather specific keyboard can be paired with Windows 7, 8 and RT devices, and even Mac OS X, but it's not compatible with Windows Vista. It will retail for $79.95.

A Sculpt mobile Keyboard, said to position the hands and wrist in a "natural and comfortable resting position," has a swoopy dip?what Microsoft calls a Comfort Curve?and is also a full-size keyboard. It's again battery-run, connected by Bluetooth and features a battery-saving technology that powers it down after a long stretch without use.

The Sculpt keyboard weighs just over a pound, is said to be rather durable, making it a nonstressful travel companion, and is priced at $49.95.

A matching Sculpt Touch Mouse is intended for Windows 8-running PCs. Down its shiny black top is a silver strip for four-way touch-scrolling, making it simpler to navigate the tiled, Windows 8 start screen. It's also priced at $49.95.

Finally, a new Touch Mouse is said to have "updated functionality specifically designed for Windows 8, with new gesture settings to easily navigate the new UI."

Users can swipe with a single finger, to navigate up and down or side to side; two-finger movements manage apps, switch through open apps and show app commands; and three-finger gestures navigate forward and backward within apps.

Pricing is estimated at $79.95

"Our new mice and keyboards really light up Windows, provide fast and fluid navigation, increased productivity and enhanced mobility in sleek, stylish design, " Brett Kelleran, general manager of Microsoft Hardware, a seemingly new (if not newly branded) division, said in a statement.

Microsoft is expected to introduce Windows 8 early into the fourth quarter, waving the checkered flag for hardware partners, such as Acer, Hewlett-Packard and Dell, to introduce their own Windows 8-running tablets, and likely also keyboards and mice.

That Microsoft introduced its own tablet?taking the matter of ensuring the success of a Windows 8 tablet into its own hands?speaks volumes of Microsoft's desire to catch up to Apple.

Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart, in a June 19 report, neatly condensed those volumes, writing, "The iPad terrifies Microsoft."

After Obama Goo, CBS's Charlie Rose Pounds Eric Cantor With Questions On GOP Intolerance Of Gays, Muslims

When CBS This Morning co-host interviewed the Obamas earlier this month, Matthew Balan revealed it was mostly personal goo and political softballs. So it was more than a bit shocking on Friday morning when Rose interviewed House majority leader Eric Cantor and whacked him with four questions hammering him about the "intolerance" of the Republican Party -- like the networks do every four years around the conventions.

Rose was playing off an interview Cantor gave to the website BuzzFeed in which he said "absolutely" the Republicans should do more to accept Republicans who differ from party orthodoxy. That could make conservatives queasy, but the media bias point is this: When are Democrats ever asked about their tolerance of Democrats who support traditional marriage, gun rights, or the pro-life cause? Here were the attack questions:

CHARLIE ROSE: Here's what's interesting about you -- a man who may, very well may be, in the future Speaker of the House of Representatives, the number two man in the Republican House today. [reading] 'Cantor urges tolerance on gays, Muslims. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor Thursday urged his party and the nation to guard against intolerance on issues ranging from gay marriage to the role of Muslims in the government, arguing the country's diversity of opinion and acceptance are part of America's basic fabric.' Are you worried that there is today too much intolerance, and some of it is coming from within your own party?

ERIC CANTOR: You know, there is, I would say equal opportunity of intolerance, unfortunately, Charlie, in this country. To me, it's really important for us to remember that we are a country that appreciates freedom and diversity. If I have an opinion and believe in traditional marriage, I think that deserves respect just like I'd respect someone with a different opinion, and that was the point I was making.

ROSE: Do you think Congresswoman Bachmann was out of line? I mean, it does not square with this.

CANTOR: Well, again, I think that if you read some of the reports that have covered the story, I think that her concern was about the security of the country. So it's about all I know.

ROSE: Beyond your own visit -- beyond your own sense of diversity and tolerance, does this reflect on your own part some sense that this may damage the party in the general election if there's a perception that the party and its ideas do not reflect diversity and intolerance?

CANTOR: I feel very strongly about the fact that we are a nation of inclusion. We're built on the waves of immigrants that have come to these shores. I myself am a member of a minority faith and have enjoyed the ability to pursue and practice that faith -- unlike I could anywhere else in the world. And that is the point here: We all have the freedom that was given to us by our Creator and was memorialized, if you will, in the documents that provide the legal framework for us to live.

ROSE: But there's also this, on the issue of same-sex marriage, some of the leading fundraisers in your party are urging a different look at that. Paul Singer and others.

CANTOR: Well, again, I'm not so sure what the reference to a fundraiser is. What I can tell you is I feel very strongly. I have my views, again, on traditional marriage, which I support. But I respect people who don't agree with me just as I would expect them to respect my opinion.

Singer, a hedge-fund manager and thus not a normal hero to CBS personalities, is donating millions to gay-Left causes and super PACs even as he supports Romney. Apparently, Rose thinks the Republicans should bow to him -- but the Democrats must never, say, stand up for Chick-fil-A.

Children And Teens Are Increasingly Becoming Obese

This article has been viewed 18 times.

The steady rise in the incidence of childhood obesity in the US has continued to astound and baffle professionals in many areas of study. It certainly doesn?t help that large amounts of high fructose corn syrup are found in pretty much everything sold in the United States. That, though, is an issue best left for another day. One of the things that makes childhood obesity such a painful subject is that obese kids often seem like they haven?t been given an honest shot at life and that is a tragedy. These kids are already suffering the numerous consequences from arthritis and constant joint and back pain to Type II diabetes and the worst verbal treatment by their class peers. This is a sad state of affairs and we?ll explore it further in this article.

Type II diabetes is worth mentioning because it is up at the top of the list in terms of likelihood of occurring in kids, teens and even adults. Of course, it does make a certain sum of sense that it might happen. This specific kind of diabetes is different than Type I because it can be prevented sometimes. Risk factors for Type II diabetes include weight problems like obesity and a prolonged sedentary lifestyle. For those who are obese, their bodies are under a lot of extra pressure to produce more insulin. This is because there is more body there that needs to receive it. Then, as time goes on, the body starts to resist the insulin and that?s when Type II occurs. Widespread research has proven that kids who suffer from obesity are far more likely to suffer from sleep apnea than kids who aren?t obese. This is a condition that is quite serious because it actually blocks the child?s airway while he or she is sleeping. Kids who are overweight or suffer from obesity are more likely to have issues with snoring but that?s not as straightforward as it sounds, say the researchers who have been studying the problem. The reason for that is the snoring is sometimes a hidden symptom of OSA, obstructive sleep apnea. One possible approach that has been studied is using the procedure, adenotonsillectomy, to treat this condition in obese teens and younger children.

As you can guess, there is enormous social stigma attached to the obese child and teen. Going to school each day must be something along the lines of unbearable. The effects of prolonged teasing, hurtful comments and bullying can cause psychological scars that can be damaging for a person?s whole life. It is also important to note that each person is going to respond to this differently. Being obese has all sorts of problems and that means that it is very important that someone who has been or is still obese should get counseling so that they can better deal with the damage that has been done. Obese children and young adults can accurately be described as the walking wounded. This is because obesity ravages both the body and the mind.

Debbie Wilson's Family Brain Injury Blog: Anger: Managing Intense ...

MULTIMEDIA
MORE INFORMATION

Part of the?Greatest Challenges Families Face?Series

After a brain injury, many survivors and family members experience a number of strong emotions. Many people say that one of the most difficult emotions to handle is anger. Anger can weaken your ability to solve problems effectively, make good decisions, handle changes, and get along with others. Concerns about anger control are very common. In fact, many people say that they feel angry more often, get angry more easily, and have more difficulty controlling their anger than they did before the injury. This article provides information about controlling your anger after an injury, the dangers of anger, recognizing early warning signs for anger, and ideas about how to better control anger.

Why is controlling anger so hard?

For many people, family members and survivors alike, controlling anger can be more difficult after an injury. Anger may be demonstrated in many ways including irritability, hostility, yelling, cursing, and even threatening or being physically aggressive with others. There are several reasons why you and/or your loved ones may have difficulty managing anger effectively. First, brain injury can cause chemical changes in the brain, making it harder to manage anger and frustration. Second, there are many changes after an injury. You may be upset by changes in your capabilities, for example, your ability to participate in activities you previously enjoyed. Third, sometimes people try to regain control over their lives through the expression of anger. After an injury, many people encounter a number of problems they do not know how to solve along with very few solutions. All of these problems may make you feel hopeless and out of control. Fourth, you may find that people do not understand you. You may feel frustrated with you insurance company, treatment providers, and you may feel like people do not understand you or the circumstances your family is experiencing.

Also, there are a variety of reasons why you may have difficulty helping your loved one manage his or her anger. First, the person may be unpleasant to be around. Second, you may be more concerned with protecting themselves or other family members. Third, you may be afraid that their actions will make the problem worse. All the changes can make controlling your emotions harder. Still, you care about your loved one and want to help. Family members and friends are often in the best position to help one another control anger effectively. In this way, family members and friends can help one another work on self-control and reinforce positive changes.

The dangers of anger

  • make people avoid you, or worse yet, be afraid of you.
  • contribute to feelings of depression, loneliness, or isolation.
  • be a factor is poor decision making.
  • add to your list of problems.

As you can see from this list, anger tends to not do many positive things for people. Your best bet is to be begin to recognize when you are getting angry to avoid losing your temper.

The first step in controlling your own anger is recognizing the early warning signs. Early warning signs are emotional or physical changes you may notice as you begin to feel angry. Here is a list of common early warning signs. Review the list and see if you can recognize additional early warning signs you would like to add to the list.

  • Muscles tensing, clenching your jaw or fists, or tightening your shoulders
  • Feeling your face flush or feeling hot
  • Noticing your heart beating faster than usual
  • Churning or knots in your stomach
  • Headaches
  • Pacing
  • Over or under eating
  • Feelings of being sad, overwhelmed, impatient, or irritated.

Also, there are patterns of thinking that can make you and/or your family members more prone to anger. People who are angry more often tend to blame people for their problems. Also, people get angry more often when they take things personally or believe others are out to get them. Finally, many people get angry over ?little? things like getting lost, not having enough gas in the car, or finding dishes left in the sink. Try to prioritize the big and small issues in your life. You will feel better when you tackle the important issues and don?t sweat the small stuff.

Tips and ideas for controlling anger

Once you recognize you and your family members? early warning signs for anger, you can take steps to help yourself and your family member(s) cope with anger more effectively. We?ve talked to lots of survivors and their families to find out ways they manage their anger. Here is a list of strategies that have worked for other people. Talk these ideas over with trusted family, friends, or professionals and pick out some tips you think will work for you and your family:

  • Recognize that you have the power to control your emotions.
  • Controlling your emotions in a skill. The more you practice, the better you?ll get.
  • Remember that ups and downs are normal parts of life.?Realize that it is normal to feel angry about what has happened to you, but if you stay angry, and take your anger out on others, you are just making things worse. Instead of focusing on the downs, try to focus on the good things in your life and look forward to the ups!
  • Tell yourself to relax.
  • Breathe slowly and deeply.
  • Don?t say or do the first thing that comes to mind.?Count to ten. Waiting to respond can help you consider other people?s feelings before you speak or act. This way, you will do not things you regret afterwards.
  • Consider taking a break or leaving the situation.?Oftentimes, when interactions get heated, it is best to take some time away and come back to the conversation after you have calmed down. Perhaps, you can make an agreement with other family members that you will state that you need to take a break. Don?t forget to agree on a time to resume the discussion later.
  • Make plans in advance to handle situations that cause anger.?There may be a few circumstances that you know are going to upset you. Perhaps these circumstances are traffic, coming home to a messy house, and or trying to get your child ready for bedtime. Plan to use strategies to manage your anger in these situations ahead of time.
  • Try to keep an open mind.?Oftentimes, people get angry when they think they know what another person is saying, but they are not listening closely. Try to remind yourself that your family and friends are trying to help in the best way they know how. In order to reduce misunderstandings, try to repeat what you heard the other person say, ?So what you are telling me is that you do not think it is a good idea for me to stay at home alone.?
  • Explain yourself calmly.?Many people get angry when they feel misunderstood. Truly, it can be tiring to continue to explain your situation to others. Try to be positive and sensitive to other people?s feelings. Doing so will make it easier for others to understand you.
  • Develop new or continue to use constructive ways to deal with anger.?Many people say they feel better when they go for a run, play a video game, write in a journal, take a walk, or talk with a friend. Having constructive strategies at your fingertips will help you blow off some steam when you begin to feel irritated.
  • Give yourself credit when you do control your anger.?Instead of beating up on yourself, praise yourself when you do keep your emotions under control. Also, ask yourself, what was different about situations in which you are able to control your anger. Recognizing the circumstances or the actions you took not to get angry can be a powerful tool in learning to control your anger better.

Are you stuck being angry? You need not be. Please remember, people who are angry for a long time often have trouble seeing the positive and expressing positive feelings. If you feel uncomfortable about your anger, talk with trusted family, friends, or professionals about your feelings. Also, consider joining a support group, so you can learn how others have dealt successfully with difficult feelings.

    Daniel Cormier gets Frank Mir for his final Strikeforce fight

    Daniel Cormier has his final Strikeforce opponent, and its a UFC heavyweight. According to USA Today, former champion Frank Mir will fight Cormier, the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix champ, in a yet-to-be announced Strikeforce event in October or November. The fight will air on Showtime.

    Mir's manager tweeted, "@thefrankmir just asked me to tweet for him "that he's very excited about this opportunity and is very grateful to the @ufc for making this fight happen."

    Mir last fought at UFC 146, where he was knocked out by Junior dos Santos in the second round of a championship bout. Before the loss to JDS, Mir had wins over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Roy Nelson and Mirko Filipovic.

    The match-up is an interesting one for Mir to take, as he has had difficulty with wrestlers in the past. Of the three losses in his last 10 fights, two came to fighters with significant wrestling backgrounds. Cormier is a two-time Olympic wrestler.

    He was the surprise winner of the grand prix that started with Fedor Emelianenko and Alistair Overeem as the favorites. He beat Antonio Silva and Josh Barnett on the way to the championship. His record now stands at 10-0. After this bout, Cormier is expected to join the UFC, like every other heavyweight on the Strikeforce roster.

    Who will take this bout? Speak up in the comments, on Facebook or Twitter.

    Star's sleep disorder shuts down 'Fringe'

    By Philiana Ng, The Hollywood Reporter

    Production on Fox's sci-fi drama "Fringe" has been shut down for two weeks due to the illness of star John Noble.

    Comic-Con 2012: 'Fringe' cast bids a tearful goodbye, reflects on five seasons (video)

    A source with knowledge of the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter that the 63-year-old Noble, who plays scientist Walter Bishop on the show, is being treated for a sleep disorder. Noble's illness effectively shut down filming on the fifth and final season on Tuesday -- just one day after he was expected to appear on the Television Critics Assn. press tour panel with Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, Lance Reddick and showrunner J.H. Wyman.

    The delay was initially said to be only three days, but sources now say it will be extended to nine shooting days, until about Aug. 7.

    PHOTOS: Fox's All-Star party at summer TCA

    Noble's absence was addressed during the Fringe session at the Television Critics Association gathering on Monday, with Wyman telling reporters that the actor was "under the weather."

    Filming on the season five premiere began last Wednesday in Vancouver and continued Thursday and Friday. Production on the series was paused Monday so cast members could attend TCA.

    Separately, on Tuesday a source confirmed to THR that production had been impacted by co-star Jasika Nicole's car accident, in addition to multiple illnesses in the cast.

    The extended delay is not expected to impact the series' Sept. 28 premiere date.

    The news comes after castmates and Wyman publicly lauded Noble, who appeared at Comic-Con on July 15, for his work on "Fringe" and discussed his Emmy snub for his complicated performance on the sci-fi series.

    Comedy in Nollywood: Q &A With A Pioneer Filmmaker

    By Carl Unegbu, ComedyBeat | Filmmaking today stands on three main pillars: First, there?s the world-famous Hollywood; then there is India?s Bollywood and then there?s Nigeria?s Nollywood. Presently, the comedy genre is rising at a fast clip in Nollywood and Oliver Mbamara, a prolific screenwriter and filmmaker is one of its foremost pioneers. Mbamara, a Nigerian-born lawyer based in America is blazing a hot trail both in creating Nollywood sitcoms and movies and in bringing them to audiences both in Africa and across the Atlantic. His latest work, a dramedy called ?Cultures?, a 17-episode TV series premiered to a raucous reception this past May at a special screening at New York?s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

    ComedyBeat talks to the trailblazing filmmaker about his work and the future outlook for comedy in Nollywood:

    How long have you been a writer and producer of comedy films and what made you decide to embark on that career path?

    Oliver Mbamara: I have been writing since my college days back in Nigeria when I belonged in a theater troupe that toured the country presenting plays and music drama. I found it very satisfying to entertain people and make them laugh. It was very natural for me. As time went on this desire grew and I eventually started writing and producing films.

    I suppose you consider yourself a Nollywood filmmaker? In what markets are Nollywood films sold?

    Oliver Mbamara: The new age Nigerian independent film industry which is popularly known as ?Nollywood? is still developing and undergoing a dynamic evolution. This makes it rather difficult to use the term ?Nollywood? loosely since we are still defining the industry in line with the variety and category of filmmakers and content arising out of the industry.

    As for me, I am an independent filmmaker of African origin dwelling on African and immigrant themed stories.

    In terms of where Nollywood films are sold, there are no boundaries yet as the audience keeps growing. But marketers are continuing to explore new ways of marketing these films in today?s challenging environment where store sales and theater showings are hugely impacted by the problems of free internet broadcasting and technology for movie piracy.
    But, African movies are primarily being sold in African stores across many cities. A few online stores like www.NollywoodMovies.com are also springing up to sell these movies.

    How big is the comedy genre in the Nollywood?

    Oliver Mbamara: The comedy genre in Nollywood is quite big and is quickly outgrowing other genres. Initially, people were drawn to Nollywood films because of the casual but unique stories they offered. But over time, the storylines of most of the other genres became somewhat repetitive and less exciting unlike in comedy where the antics are always fresh and rather endless. I think that in the end people tend to be drawn to light-hearted entertainment.

    How many movies have you made so far?

    Oliver Mbamara: At least six feature films, two shorts films, and of course 17 episodes of the TV series ? Cultures.

    Now tell me about your latest work ?Cultures?. What is the series all about? And how did it all come about?

    Oliver Mbamara: Cultures is a new TV comedy-drama series featuring the veteran comedian Chika Okpala (a.k.a: Chief Zebrudaya, alias 4:30). Okpala plays an African chief named Anabaronye who brings a wife to his nephew, Ozobio, in the U.S. because the nephew had not visited his Nigerian homeland since traveling abroad a long time ago. But Chief Anabaronye arrives in the U.S. only to discover that Ozobio is already engaged to a Chinese-American. He then takes matters into his own hands to try to make things ?right.? What then ensues is a catalyst of humorous dramatic conflicts fuelled by differences in ego, values and cultures. More on Cultures is available at www.CulturesTVseries.com .

    With respect to how Cultures came about, the short answer is that I have always felt a sense of duty to both people at home and those abroad to tell the stories of the serious challenges and cultural conflicts faced by immigrants in the Diaspora. The desire to share these stories in a lighter-mood was a major factor in the making of Cultures, just as with most of my other works/films.

    Is there a message in ?Cultures?? Can someone who?s not a member of the African Diaspora appreciate the movie?

    Oliver Mbamara: The core message in Cultures is to try to get people to understand that there is often a cultural explanation for what may at times seem odd in the behavior and attitudes of immigrants. And this is an issue that seems to cut across all immigrant groups and so it is not limited to just members of the African Diaspora.

    Where was the movie made? And what was your biggest challenge in making the movie?

    Oliver Mbamara: Cultures was produced in the United States although we had to fly in some seasoned veteran actors like Chika Okpala and Frederick Nnorom, from Nigeria to play some of the more culturally based roles. The biggest challenge in making the TV series was the lack of adequate funding.

    I and my co-producer Felix Nnorom are still hoping to get sponsors to come aboard and support us to continue telling the story beyond the episodes we have so far.

    How are you distributing the movie?

    Oliver Mbamara: We are looking forward to getting some television or cable sponsorship and programming. In the meantime because of the high demand from fans and audience to see the series, we have started releasing the first few episodes on DVD as pilots for the remaining episodes which are already complete and ready to go. We recently had a premiere of some initial episodes of Cultures which will be on DVD soon at www.NollywoodMovies.com

    We all know that piracy is a big problem for filmmakers and other creative folks. How big a problem is piracy for Nollywood films?

    Oliver Mbamara: Piracy is the biggest problem yet for Nollywood films and it really is one that is threatening the very fabric of the industry. Because most Nollywood filmmakers are independent proprietors who finance their projects from their own savings and other sources, piracy tends to hit them pretty hard by denying them the remuneration they need to improve the quality of their films and to produce more films or even to pay the actors working for them. Our hope is that until the piracy problem is somehow brought under control, those filmmakers who love the art will somehow manage to sustain themselves and not be discouraged from generating more content. But right now, it is tough.

    Can you describe the nature of the piracy problem in Nollywood and what is the film industry doing about the problem?

    Oliver Mbamara: The extent of the piracy problem is so huge that it cannot be addressed in a single interview. But suffice it so say that film industries are working on the problem- as they should. For example, African filmmakers in the United States are forming a guild that would, among other things, battle piracy and improve the industry.

    As it happens, modern technology and tools with which to pirate a movie have become commonly available and so movie pirates are now able to stream movies on the internet for free and some of them now even broadcast movies on TV without authorization. But until movie pirates realize that living off another person?s labor and investment is both morally and legally wrong, filmmakers just have to unite and come up with effective means of dealing with the challenge. Movie pirates won?t be going away on their own any time soon.

    Is Nollywood collaborating with other film industries (like Hollywood & Bollywood) in trying to deal with the piracy problem? If so, how?

    Oliver Mbamara: At the moment, there is no direct collaboration yet but the problem of piracy cuts across the board and all film industries are working on it.

    Is there anything about African comedy that sets it apart from, say, American comedy or even oriental comedy from India and such places?

    Oliver Mbamara: African comedy is usually woven around African traditional mannerisms and ways of life. That is something unique to Africa just as other industries also add a flavor of their cultural background in their stories.

    What is the future outlook for comedy movies in Nollywood?

    Oliver Mbamara: The future is bright. Comedy movies have come to stay and the genre will continue to grow because of the freshness of the content when compared to other genres.

    Where do you see yourself as a filmmaker in five years? time?

    Oliver Mbamara: Telling more of our stories in a more improved way!

    Know About Some Brilliant Methods Of Capital Raising | Franchising


    Business | Franchising | * Written by Jacob M Willis | Wednesday, 25 July 2012 03:01 | Word Count: 633

    It takes careful planning, implementation, sincere efforts and a highly reliable source of cash funding to?? grow a business successfully. If you want to operate your business smoothly and see it growing rapidly, you will have to maintain a steady cash flow by asking for financing from venture capital sources, banks, venture angels, international investors and more. Capital raising can help fulfill your dream no matter whether it is procured from a venture capital agency, business angel, bank or any other financial organization. What you need to remember is that your business idea can't take off if you are unable to convince your capital investors of its worth as an investment option and your farsightedness as a businessman to make it click. It is true that many business funding agencies are ready to assist you through capital raising but you will face difficulty in finding the most suitable one of them. Cash raising is very essential to carry out your startup's operation, meet its basic expenses and remove the financial hurdles in its way of growth.

    To be true, if the managers of a Start-up or new company fail to ensure the minimum required personal assets for its use, capital raising may become too difficult. It is not always wise to put your personal assets into a new business venture no matter how deeply you are attached or close your bonding with it. It is because there is always risk of loss which might cause you lose your personal property as well. You will never like to lose the battle as your business is your dream and you want it to succeed in every condition. However, the big question is how you will manage capital raising to run it smoothly before it actually starts to generate revenue.

    The noteworthy points involved in the capital raising process are chalking out a business strategy, preparing a targeted list of potential investors, making contacts based on the recommended list and replying to the investor's response and negotiating the deal successfully.

    Brilliant Ways For Capital Raising

    1. Home Equity ? This option will surely help you produce easy capital for immediate use of your start-up company. You can keep apart the actual value which you owe to your home and put the induced cash directly in your company.

    2. Borrowing From Friends And Relatives ? You should approach your family, friends, and relatives as they will be your prime source for loan. Be sure you have all the standard agreements in black and white and negotiate the best on them to uphold your success at the end.

    3. Credit Card ? Credit cards can really help you with capital raising. So, start making use of your credit cards to get the maximum possible capital. Again, by making some payment you will be able to secure a large sum, an easy deal, when you need it the most.

    4. Shedding Your Valuable And Old Attachments ? You can consider shedding your valuable and old attachments like a bungalow, a vintage car or similar item to raise capital for making your startup business run and grow successfully.

    5. Invoice Factoring - It is another effective method, where future credit receipts and invoices can get converted into quick capital. You can sell the invoices or credit card receipts to any invoice factoring agency and find easy and fast cash in return.

    6. Intellectual Property Monetization ? Companies having Intellectual Property can easily generate extra working capital to extend their business. Intellectual property monetization(IP monetization) can be done either by the newly developed method of IP collateralization or securitization of IP assets.

    Jacob Willis has been strongly associated with financial market and doing research on capital raising methods for many years. He has recommended intellectual property monetization(IP monetization) and a few other methods for managing it to the best possible standard.

    How to Negotiate an Uncontested Divorce and Create Your Forms ...

    9:00 PM By Article Directory

    '; div.innerHTML = summary; } //]]> How to Negotiate an Uncontested Divorce and Create Your Forms Without Hiring a Lawyer How to Negotiate an Uncontested Divorce and Create Your Forms Without Hiring a Lawyer

    The best and cheapest outcome is always a negotiation reflected in a Separation Agreement followed by a Simple Uncontested Divorce Application. You don't want a Judge deciding issues for you regarding your children or your finances. And, your best chance for agreement is knowing how to effectively negotiate with your spouse.

    Be prepared for reasonable compromise. If you insist upon standing on principle, be prepared to pay your Ontario divorce lawyer for it.

    Take note of these 8 Mistakes to Avoid When Divorce Negotiating:

    • Thinking logic will prevail. Negotiating is about human behaviour. You need to be able to navigate through both your emotions and your spouse's.
    • Taking a "No" personally. When you your spouse says "No" to your proposal, don't take it as a personal rejection. Look at it as an invitation to keep talking.
    • Withholding information. Give your spouse all the information and documents needed to prepare for your negotiations. You want your meeting to be of value and without proper information your spouse will not be able to make a decision.
    • Talking too much. You should be doing the asking, not the answering. Ask your spouse open-ended questions to identify their concerns. The 5 W's (Who, What, Where, When and Why) are the type of questions that work best. The more you learn about your spouse's concerns, the better you will be able to address them during your negotiation.
    • Not having a goal. You've heard this before. If you don't know where you're going, how are you going to get there? You also better know why you're going to wherever you're going. If you're going to the grocery store and your goal is to get food, then you're going to the right place.
    If you're going to the bank and you want food, you better re-examine the "where" or the "why" otherwise you're going to be one hungry individual. Have a goal and a reason for the goal before you start negotiating.
    • Needing to remain friends. You're getting divorced. What you want is a fair deal that accomplishes your goal. That may or may not result in you remaining friends. Neediness translates into needless compromise and that will cost you.
