The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that contrary to reports, he didn’t hold any meeting in London with the G-5 Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) known as Integrity Group. He, therefore, warned those writing unsubstantiated articles and peddling rumours about his political decisions to desist forthwith. The

This is it! The week before the big Halloween Party. Which means I must finish my costume forthwith. And I am in need of one very specific accessory - an Elizabethan ruff collar. These collars look quite beautiful and are surprisingly easy make. All you need is some patience and a whole lot of ribbon. First things first, you will need a good tutorial. After looking over countless Elizabethan ruff how-tos, I have found this great video Materials: - Ribbon - Needle and thread - Scissors - Ruler or measuring tape - Pencil - Matches Start with the ribbon. I used about 5 meters of 4 cm wide satin ribbon. It looks quite nice, but it's very slippery when you work with it, and if you want a wider collar it may droop a little. If you prefer something more solid, a grosgrain ribbon would probably be better. Make sure you have enough thread. If you run out in the middle of the sewing project, it's going to be a real pain to tie it off and add another one. When you start sewing the dots together, keep in mind that the ribbon will bunch up. Be very careful and make sure that you do not miss any pleats. Once you miss one, it's almost impossible to go back. Adding the neckband ribbon was a very long and painful process. But I'm very happy with how it turned out. I think I'll start making these ruff collars for fun and profit. Sorry about the lighting. I took these pictures in the dead of the night. Next week I'll have a longer post about the party and my costume. Stay tuned!

The Napiers are said to descend from the Lennox family and it's claimed that the name originated with a comment from King Alexander III (1241 - 1286) after a battle in which the great bravery of a young Lennox turned defeat into victory: "You have all done valiantly, but there is one amongst you who has nae peer." (no equal). And he commanded young Donald Lennox to change his name forthwith

Book synopsis: There are some women who stay in the shadows of the bible and are never heard from again, Salomee was, I think, one of them. however here in these words perhaps a letter of truth can be heard on Salomee's behalf. A thought that besides having nowhere else to turn she struck a blow never meant for an artist, let alone a princess to have the forthwith to endure. Autobiography: Karen Lee Oliver was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York, to her mother, Leoneida Oliver, and her father, Robert Fuller Oliver. She studied at St. Agnes School for Girls where she then received a scholarship for ballet study in New York City. She remained in the city and eventually graduated from Rhodes Preparatory School in 1976 and went on to study in the State University of New York in 1981. She retired from ballet in 1986. Around that time, she began writing her poetry and has written five books. Oliver's other works include compilations of her poetry that focus on different subjects. However, the overarching theme in her body of work is the philosophical discussion on life, self-identity and relationships with others, nature and how we interact with it, and death and how we learn to live with it. With this work, she continues to provide readers with avenues for introspection and inspiration.
