Cape Town — Those fans who were doubting that award-winning artist Lauryn Hill will be a no-show apparently have nothing to worry about. |
The singer took to Twitter to assure her fans that she will definitely be performing in Johannesburg - with U.S. rap legend Nas as her special guest. |
Fans raised concerns after a series of reports of Hill arriving late, or not at all. |
"I got word that some people were doubtful that Nas and I were coming to Johannesburg to play. From the first day we started putting the tour together, playing Africa was a must. Not only are we coming but we're coming to establish an important precedence (TO ME). I would like to play across continental Africa as compl... |
But some fans were not convinced - like Kele Mhiko who answered the tweet with "Just be on time hun <3" and Phuti Mojela who said: "I will believe it when I see it. :I". |
Lauryn Hill will perform in Johannesburg to celebrate 20 years since the release of her debut solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. |
Emmy-nominated actress Kelsey Scott chatted with Digital Journal about her experience on "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage," as well as the digital transformation of the acting business. |
"Passage is different from any other project I've worked on in that the physicality was so much a part of the narrative. The stunts, the special effects, and the FX makeup are intricately intertwined to create the world of these characters. In that way, it's been a unique experience. It was also rather empowering for t... |
In 2017, she garnered a Primetime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series" for her portrayal of Sierra on Fear the Walking Dead: Passage.

In addition, she played Rose in How to get Away with Murder, where she worked with Academy Award and Emmy winner Viola Davis. "Rose has a special place in my heart. I love playing characters who are eons outside of their comfort zones. Characters who are barely hanging on, and desperately scratching their way back up o... |
Regarding her future plans, she revealed, "On the performance side, there are no boundaries. Television and film have so many voices to offer, through this new multitude of distribution options. My performance roots are in theater - so I never stray far from the stage. And the digital domain has been very good for me l... |
For aspiring actors, Scott encouraged them to center themselves. "This is a long road with all manner of terrain. Your mental, physical and emotional health are paramount. So find ways to quiet the noise and hear your own voice. It will sustain you through the tears and long after the applause," she said. |
On the impact of technology on the entertainment and acting industry, Scott said, "I remember when Netflix only mailed DVDs, and when YouTube didn't have 'channels'. Until relatively recently, web-created content was considered amateur. Technology has equalized the field for content creation and distribution. It's not ... |
When asked how she uses technology on a daily basis, Scott responded, "How don't I? I'm gleefully addicted to my cell phone, laptop and iPad. I stream 95 percent of my programming. I cook, clean and shower by the music blasting from my Bluetooth speakers. My home phone is Internet-based. I use a heart monitor when I wo... |

Cover cord with bias strips cut from the pillow fabric for a matching look. |
1 What Is the Difference Between Welting and Cording in Upholstery? |
2 How Do I Make a Table Runner With Cording? |
Corded sofa pillows have a neat, tailored look that can be designed to fit with many styles of decor. Adding this traditional embellishment to your home-sewn pillows takes a little extra time and preparation compared to sewing plain pillows, but the result is a more interesting design as well as stable, sturdy seams. Y... |
Cut bias strips of fabric. Fold a square of fabric in half diagonally, and then cut strips of equal width parallel to the diagonal edge. Make the strips wide enough to cover the cord with at least a 1/2-inch seam allowance. |
Join the bias strips together: place one strip end-to-end at a right angle with a second strip, with the right sides together. Stitch the ends together with a 1/4-inch seam, and press the seam open. Trim away the tiny triangles that stick out from the seam allowances. Repeat this until you have a long enough continuous... |
Center the cord on the wrong side of the continuous bias strip. Fold the strip around the cord, and match the two raw edges together, enclosing the cord inside the fold. |
Sew the cord inside the bias strip, stitching so that the zipper foot is pressed against the cord. You might need to stretch the bias strip slightly as you sew to help it lie smoothly. |
Measure the length and width of your pillow forms. Cut out two pieces of fabric for each pillow that measure 1 inch longer and 1 inch wider than the pillow forms. |
Place the fabric piece for the front of the pillow on a flat surface with the right side facing you. Pin the cording along the four side edges with the raw edges of the fabric aligned with the raw edges of the cording. At each corner, clip with scissors into the fabric strip or bias binding, up to but not into the cord... |
Sew the corded piping or covered cording to the fabric piece using a straight stitch and sewing with the zipper foot pressed closely alongside the cord. Stitch up to about two inches from the point where the two ends of the cord will meet and stop with the needle down. |
Trim the unsewn end of the cording so that it will overlap the sewn-down end by about one inch. If you are using corded piping, continue sewing so that the ends overlap and the cut end is angled toward the seam allowance. If you are using covered cording, peel back the binding from around the cut end of the cord by abo... |
Pin the back fabric piece to the front fabric piece with the right sides facing. Stitch the two pieces together along the four side edges, sewing so that the zipper foot is pressed closely alongside the cord. You will not be able to see the cord because it is trapped between the two fabric layers, so feel for it by smo... |
Turn the pillowcase right sides out through the 5-inch gap you left in the seam. Insert the pillow form through this gap. Fold the raw edges of the gap in the seam to the inside and slip stitch it closed by hand with a needle and thread. Keep the stitches small and neat. |
Launder your fabric, and press it well with an iron before measuring and cutting out your fabric pieces. |
Cording is a versatile embellishment. Consider a traditional look by pairing a two-tone metallic cord with a heavy brocade fabric or a beach cottage style pairing white cording with seersucker or striped fabric. Making your own covered cording gives you endless color and pattern options that either match or complement ... |

You'll also be able to track Santa Claus as he makes worldwide trip on Christmas Eve. |
This year will mark the 62nd that North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will track Jolly Old St. Nick as he makes his way around the world to bring gifts and Christmas joy. |
NORAD started the program in the 1950s after a newspaper advertisement invited children to call Santa but mistakenly listed the hotline for NORAD's predecessor. Ever since then, tracking Santa Claus has been a tradition. |
Website visitors can start to watch Santa make preparations for his flight starting at 2:01 a.m. on Christmas Eve. NORAD's "Santa Cams" will also stream videos on the website as Santa makes his way over various locations. |
Starting at 6 a.m., trackers can speak with a live operator to get information on Santa's location by dialing toll-free 1-877-Hi-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) or by sending an email to noradtrackssanta@outlook.com. |
Amazon Alexa users can ask for Santa's location through the NORAD Tracks Santa skill. OnStar, Bing, and Cortana users can also find Santa's location on Christmas Eve. |
NORAD's website and Facebook pages also have interactive pages for children to enjoy. Santa can also be tracked using NORAD's smartphone app. |
A farmer who was injured earlier this month in the violence in West Bengal's Nandigram region has died at a hospital in Kolkata. |
Seikh Suleman, 50, is the first Nandigram victim to die at the SSKM Hospital in Kolkata since the escalation of violence in the East Midnapore district, around 150 km from Kolkata. |
The region has seen violence since January over a proposed special economic zone the West Bengal government wanted to set up on farmland. The decision, later scrapped, sparked a turf war between the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) and a Trinamool Congress-backed group. |
Suleman's wife Halema Bibi said a group of people, allegedly CPI-M supporters, crossed the Talpati canal from the Khejuri side and came to their house at Sonachura on Nov 6. |
"The gang asked my husband to come out of the house. As soon as he stepped out, they hurled bombs at him," she said. |
Suleman was rushed to the Tamluk district hospital with abdominal injuries. He was later brought to Kolkata and admitted to SSKM Hospital's Curzon ward after his condition worsened. He died around 4.20 pm on Wednesday, local reports said. |
"Suleman had an infection in the wound when he came to Kolkata. We conducted an operation but the infection spread," said Ashok Ghosh, medical superintendent of the SSKM Hospital. |
"My father did not belong to any political party," said his son Belal, who has been in the hospital with his mother since November 8. |
Thirty residents of Nandigram have been admitted to SSKM hospital since March 14 with bullet or bomb shrapnel injuries. |
It is entirely appropriate that Ruth Brandwein, Suffolk's Commissioner of Social Services, should express her concern for all those receiving welfare benefits on Long Island and to explain the reasons, in her opinion, for their inability to leave the welfare role. (''Freedom From Welfare, the Best Hope Yet,'' Opinion, ... |
But let's look at the other side of the coin and the case of the alleged ''affluent'' citizens on Long Island. Yes, many were born to affluency and since this is not a socialist country, they are entirely entitled to their plateau in society as a result of their noble birth. |
There are many others, however, who drive beautiful cars, own typically ''middle class'' homes with well-manicured lawns, who vacation, who pay for their children's educations and who have obviously captured a fair share of the American Dream entirely under their own steam with no assistance from any agency whatsover! ... |
And many migrated to Long Island from the boroughs of New York City, where they had used subways and other forms of public transportation to reach whatever jobs were available. They were familiar with the indignity of being subjected to steamy hours spent on poorly ventilated subways that often broke down for hours in ... |
But they were undaunted and persisted with their goals, which sometimes required working at two and three jobs. A large number of these emigres still travel back to the city from ''bucolic,'' affluent Long Island, either spending four hours daily on the Long Island Railroad or hours trapped in traffic jams on overcrowd... |
Due to the recent downturn in the Long Island economy and increases in taxes, many are facing the loss of homes and jobs. Senior citizens who contributed a wealth of benefits to society are also suffering as a result of increased taxation on homes which they are desperately trying to maintain on fixed incomes. |
Should they be subjected to paying taxes for those who are receiving welfare assistance but who look at public transportation as too arduous? |
Should these citizens be taxed to provide case management for those who are already receiving public assistance but who cannot or will not look to family members or friends for support in the area of child care, who refuse to travel to provide that care and who need the government to give them direction? |
Should those who are earning minimal salaries and paying huge sums in annual health care benefits be taxed additionally to provide these benefits for those who cannot or will not find meaningful employment? |
Should we, who are enjoying middle-class affluence, pay taxes to guide others through the ''rough'' times when we have spent a lifetime of coping with these ''rough'' times and building our own self-esteem through hard work and endurance? |
And should we be paying taxes to cover the cost of additional case workers in the Department of Social Services when Suffolk County government is looking to lay off workers while encouraging others to retire early to reduce the cost of running the government and decrease the burden of taxes for those who are striving t... |
The answers to creating a society free from homelessness, poverty and those who would surely perish without financial assistance from the government are not simplistic. In this age of technological miracles and the bounty that many Americans enjoy, it seems quite ironic for severe poverty to co-exist with apparent affl... |
Let's restore spirit and self-esteem. A step in the right direction, might be to supply crash courses (along with temporary assistance) in techniques of coping, how to work hard to succeed despite drawbacks and how to be proud of what is ''earned'' rather than look for what can be gained through government assistance. |
We, the people, are the government. And we pay for whatever is granted in financial assistance. Let us try to instill motivation such as that which built our great country, so that each of us is responsible for our own destiny. |
New Delhi: ONGC Mittal Energy (OMEL), a joint venture between ONGC Videsh and Mittal Investment Sarl, has acquired 30 percent participating interest in an exploratory offshore block in the Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan. |
The offshore block 11-12 in the Caspian Sea covers an area of 5,663 sq km and adjoins areas with oil discoveries. |
According to an ONGC press release, the Turkmenistan block, the fourth asset of OMEL, was acquired by a consortium, in which OMEL holds 30 percent participating interest, German company Witnershall 34 percent and Danish company Maersk Oil 36 percent. |
Earlier, the block was awarded to Maersk Oil in December 2002. Winterstall and Maersk Oil have already drilled a well in the block, which indicated presence of hydrocarbons. The new consortium will drill another well in 2008. |
The JV earlier acquired interest in a producing asset in Syria, currently producing about 130,000 barrels of oil per day. |
