Manchester United and Arsenal are both interested in Son Heung-Min, but the Tottenham forward would likely cost at least €70 million (£62m/$81m), claims Sport 1.
The South Korea international has impressed during his time in the Premier League and is now ready to take the next step in his career, with his contract at Spurs having two years left to run.
United are currently viewed as the leading candidates to try to sign Son, with Spurs unlikely to be willing to sell to rivals Arsenal, while Liverpool are also keeping an eye on the situation.
Kalidou Koulibaly is not letting talk regarding his future affect his preparations for Senegal's crucial Group H meeting against Colombia in Samara on Thursday.
The Napoli centre-back held negotiations with Chelsea two years ago and, as former boss Maurizio Sarri continues to be linked with taking over from Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge, rumours around a possible Premier League switch for Koulibaly have begun to resurface.
Koulibaly was asked how it felt to be regarded as a €100 million (£88m) player, and whether such transfer speculation was clouding his focus amid a World Cup campaign.
Joao Cancelo has completed his move from Valencia to Serie A champions Juventus, signing a five-year contract with the Bianconeri.
The Portugal international, who can operate on the right of defence or midfield, underwent a medical on Wednesday after flying into Turin the previous day to complete the formalities of his €40 million (£35m/$46m) transfer.
Barcelona midfielder Rafinha is weighing up his next move after the deadline on a potential deal with Inter passed, with Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga clubs said to be interested.
Inter agreed a loan deal for the 25-year-old in January, with the option to buy for €38 million (£33.5m/$44m), but his father and agent Mazinho said the club has not shown enough desire to secure a permanent deal for the Brazilian playmaker.
Southampton are in talks with Manchester City over a £15 million (€17m/$20m) move for young goalkeeper Angus Gunn.
City are ready to cash in on Gunn, 22, who spent last season on loan at Norwich City, but the Premier League champions will insert a buy-back clause in any deal.
Read the story, from Goal's Man City correspondent Sam Lee.
Manchester City showed interest in signing Marco Reus before the Borussia Dortmund star signed a new contract, according to Sport Bild.
Reus has endured an injury-hit time of things in the past couple of years, but has remained a regular target for Premier League clubs, including the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United.
However, before signing a new contract until 2023 with Dortmund in March, the Germany international forward was also wanted by City boss Pep Guardiola.
West Ham have been put off by Lazio's £50 million ($66m) asking price for midfielder Felipe Anderson.
The Hammers have already tabled a £31m ($40m) offer for the Brazilian, but have been told by the Serie A club they will have to pay a significantly higher fee to get their man.
Chelsea have made a £35 million (€40m/$46m) offer for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, according to the Evening Standard.
Incoming manager Maurizio Sarri managed Rugani during a loan spell at Empoli from 2013 to 2015, and now wants to make the Italy international his first signing at Chelsea.
Chelsea are preparing to double Rugani's wages at Stamford Bridge in an effort to convince the 23-year-old to move to London.
Manchester United are eyeing a possible move for AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci, reports Yahoo Sport UK.
Bonucci only moved to Milan from Juventus last summer, but the San Siro club may be forced to sell a number of players this summer to comply with UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations.
And Jose Mourinho could be set to swoop for the 31-year-old Italy international should his club be required to sell.
Barcelona have interest in Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, reports AS .
The Catalans are looking to bring in two more signings before the new seasons begin, and the Brazil international is on their wish-list after Antoine Griezmann decided to stay at Atletico.
Though Barca would like to sign Jesus, they realise that prying the 21-year-old away from City will be an extremely difficult task.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery is looking to sign Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Vazquez, claims OK Diario.
Vazquez has a contract at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2021, and the Champions League winners will likely do all they can to hold on to the Spain international.
Lazio are looking at Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey as a replacement for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to Corriere dello Sport .
The Serie A side are preparing to lose Milinkovic-Savic, who could be set for a big-money move to Manchester United or Real Madrid.
With Ramsey out of contract next summer, Lazio will test Arsenal's resolve to hold on to the 27-year-old Wales international.
Napoli are preparing to make an offer for Chelsea centre-back David Luiz, claims Il Matino.
The Brazilian fell out of favour at Stamford Bridge last season, and is reportedly interested in a move to Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Luiz, 31, has a contact with Chelsea until the end of the 2018-19 season.
Jack Grealish has put Premier League clubs on notice by deciding to leave Aston Villa, reports the Mirror .
Tottenham are leading the chase for the 22-year-old, who impressed in the Championship with Villa last season.
West Ham are also interested in Grealish, who has decided he must move to the Premier League to further his career.
Crystal Palace want to sign Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan again next season, according to the Evening Standard.
The England international impressed on loan at Selhurst Park last season, and could be set for a return in 2018-19.
Palace will face competition for the 22-year-old, with Everton and Newcastle also interested.
Manchester City are considering activating Aaron Mooy's £20 million (€23m/$26m) buy-back clause from Huddersfield Town, reports ESPN FC.
City sold Mooy to Huddersfield last summer after he impressed on loan in 2016-17, and the Australia international turned in another strong season with in 2017-18.
That form has City thinking about returning for Mooy, who also has interest from Everton, West Ham United and Southampton.
Juventus have made a bid of €19 million (£17m/$22m) for CSKA Moscow and Russia star Aleksandr Golovin, according to Calciomercato.com .
The 22-year-old desires a move to Turin, but his current side aren't prepared to sell him for less than €25m (£22m/$29m).
Golovin's performances at the World Cup could drive his price up even higher than €25m, with interest from many clubs around Europe.
Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes wants to return to Valencia, according to Sport .
After spending two seasons at the Camp Nou, the 24-year-old is not in Barca's plans going forward.
Gomes would like to return to the club where he starred from 2014 to 2016, but a move could be complicated by Barca's desire to recoup a large portion of the fee they paid two years ago.
Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian's agent has begun talks with Juventus over a transfer, claims Sky Italia.
The 28-year-old's agent has met with Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici, with negotiations currently ongoing.
Darmian joined United from Torino in 2015, and saw his playing time decrease last season after playing a significant role in his first two campaigns at Old Trafford.
Roma sporting director Monchi has claimed that his club have yet to receive an offer for in-demand goalkeeper Alisson.
Real Madrid and Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazil international, who is currently representing his country at the World Cup.
Monchi has also claimed that midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, who has been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus, is going nowhere.


Effective February 18, Walt Mesik has taken the lead on sales and partner support for Nilpeter in the Northeast region of the United States. Mesik has more than 25 years of experience in the narrow-web industry, including a previous stint with Nilpeter.
Newport, Ky.-based Steinhauser recently added the company's first ever MPS flexo press, installing a 12-color EF 530 in January. Steinhauser opted for the MPS press due to its ability to print pressure-sensitive labels and shrink sleeves at high speeds.
Atze Bosma has been appointed as the new CEO of MPS. Bosma will succeed Wim van den Bosch as CEO and will begin on December 1.
The OMET X6 provides the possibility of positioning the rotary screen-printing unit on a rail instead placing it on the printing station. This ensures printers will not lose a flexo station and saves space in a printing facility.
BOBST showcased the abilities of the REVO Digital Flexo technology during Labelexpo Americas through demonstrations of the M1 and M6 in-line presses and quality checks of their outputs.


There really is something for everyone at 300 W. Highland Street in Southlake. It's a large, beautiful property that has it where it counts!
The original home was built in 1998, and the sellers completed a full remodel this year. It welcomes family and friends with a richness of hand-scraped hardwood floors and crown molding. The open concept formal living and dining room will dazzle those who love entertaining.
And this home is unique as it's really two homes in one.
All eyes have been on this stunning listing at 3700 Euclid, because almost every agent in town knew it was (a) beautiful, (b) stunning and (c) over $10 million. In fact, it was said that this sale could thrust Highland Park real estate into a whole new realm of Silicon-Valley like pricing. IF the purported buyer, Daniel Hunt, president of FC Dallas, son of the late Lamar Hunt — his brother Clark is listed as owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Hunt's family's sports holdings are split equally among Lamar's four children — two from his first marriage, Lamar Jr., and Sharron, and Clark and Dan from his second — paid asking price of $14,900,000 (reduced a whole swallow from $15,995,000) or anywhere near that, we are talking $1,065.00 per square foot. Sweet.
We didn't get that, but we got $13,600,000. Or almost $973 a square foot. How do you like that, Highland Park?
Of all the things to take from Adrian Beltre's Bowling Greenwood mansion, the burglars who burgled the Rangers third-baseman's home took tickets to his Globe Life Ballpark suite and his American League Championship ring according to this SportsDay post.
No untraceable electronics. No silver. No artwork. And no one was caught.
Sounds kind of personal, doesn't it?
According to City of Dallas police reports, Beltre's home was burglarized last Thursday morning shortly after he left for the Rangers' homestand finale against Oakland. Nobody was in the house at the time. Beltre's family is still in Southern California.
The police report cites the theft of precious metals and jewelry. Beltre, who only briefly returned home before the Rangers' flight to Toronto last Thursday evening, said among the items taken was his 2011 AL Championship ring. Beltre also said the thieves made off with tickets to his suite at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
Adrian and Sandra Beltre's 8,204-square-foot home has five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, three fireplaces, and a backyard pool all on a 3/4 of an acre. DCAD says it's worth more than $3 million.


Let's hope "Dems Take House" isn't a fake news headline Wednesday morning.
Tomorrow, election day, is the big day for those concerned about the future of their country and what we stand for as a nation and a people.
You can bet I'll be up late watching the results. I'll be wondering if I can still call this my country if intolerance, lying, and the evils of Trumpism win; or if I will be redeemed and relieved if Der Furor (remember that column?) is overwhelmingly rejected.
As a journalist, writing about Trump and my disdain for his policies, style, stupidity and dishonesty, it was personal when bombs were mailed to his critics.
I wasn't concerned about receiving one, although I check the mailbox for bulky, unanticipated packages. But even though a twice-a-month columnist in an Everett daily is unlikely to draw attention of a Trump fanatic in Florida, there could be one in Western Washington, hence the peek-first-then-open-the-mailbox policy. My real concern was Trump's follow-up — blaming "fake" news (me?) for the nation's rampant rancor. And I was struck when his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, couldn't name any of the fake news outlets she so decries.
All she said was you know who you are and you publish lies.
To fact-check, I looked at recent headlines from three of Trump's most-likely fake news outlets: The Washington Post, CNN and the New York Times.
So please, gentle reader, join me. Let's see if Trump is lying yet again.
Is this about Trump? Yep. Is it negative? Yes, from his perspective. Is it a lie or fake? Nope. It's fact, it's news, it actually happened. Will Trump like those headlines? Not bloody likely. So he'll call it fake news and blame the media.
How about his claim that he can unilaterally change the Constitution with an executive order, negating the 14th Amendment and canceling birthright citizenship?
Is this about Trump? Yes again. Is it Trump-negative? No, it's just fact. Is it a lie? Nope. Trump's on tape and so is Ryan. Will Trump like those headlines? No, he'll call it fake news and probably call Paul Ryan an idiot.
He did, by golly, call his Speaker an idiot!
Unless the news fawns and praises the wisdom of Der Furor, lauding his ability to rule on a whim, it ain't real news to Trump, not the kind of real news Fox delivers.
Now that's fake news! Trump is lying again, twice, as the Post, Times and CNN are not "far-left," and they didn't spread the anger, they simply reported it. Big difference.
Wednesday morning's news will be either Trump taking credit for the "win," or Trump tweeting it was someone else's fault.
But this election isn't about Trump, it's about me. And you. And whether we can stand up to the abomination Trump has visited upon this nation.
What kind of news do I want to read on Wednesday? This kind: "Dems Take House." And then, for Trump, reality will begin setting in.

Overlooking San Francisco's UN Plaza and with sweeping views of City Hall and downtown, the new LightHouse for the Blind building is a singular architectural landmark – unprecedented in the world of blindness and social service organizations. Complete with short-term residential facilities, extensive training and community spaces, and state-of-the-art technological advancements, the New LightHouse is worth a visit. Below are several pieces that tell the story of our new building and its design.
Every element of the design—from circulation to lighting to mechanical equipment and the tactile and acoustic properties of surface materials—was shaped to the advantage of users whose visual challenges and compensating skills span an enormous range. The perceptions that LightHouse CEO Bryan Bashin most wanted to upend were those of new clients and their supporters. "Bryan wanted a space that was uplifting, not a woe-is-me experience," said Mark Cavagnero, whose San Francisco–based firm was selected by a design committee as the architect for the $13 million project. Even so, the environment couldn't be so "soft and gentle," says Cavagnero, that clients would be unprepared for the hard corners of the real world. The LightHouse also had an extremely unusual resource in Chris Downey, a successful Bay Area architect who became blind during an operation to remove a brain tumor in 2008. Downey, who immediately decided to continue in his chosen career, joined the LightHouse board in 2009 and is now its president.
The cement floor is intentionally bare so that the sound of footsteps falling and canes tapping informs you that the space is full of life. If your hand were to graze against the furniture in the lobby, the material would be soft to the touch, as would the smooth wooden handrail to guide you up and down the staircase.

Premisa
La serie se centra en las aventuras de Ron Kamonohashi,  un excéntrico detective privado, y Totomaru Isshiki, un oficial de policía inexperto, mientras resuelven crímenes juntos. Ron Kamonohashi es un prometedor estudiante en la escuela de detectives BLUE, a quien se le prohíbe hacer cualquier labor detectivesca debido a que se descubre que es capaz de empujar a los criminales a la muerte sin darse cuenta. Sin embargo, tras conocer a Isshiki Totomaru, un detective de carácter puro e inocente de la División de Investigaciones, Ron vuelve a hacer sus deducciones. Juntos deben resolver un misterio que sacará a la luz una verdad que lleva mucho tiempo enterrada.

Personajes

Era llamado un genio en la escuela de entrenamiento de detectives BLUE, pero fue expulsado de ésta cuando se descubrió que tras resolver un caso entra en un trance durante el cual puede empujar a los asesinos a su muerte, sin tener recuerdo o conciencia de ello después. Debido a esto, se le prohíbe también hacer labores investigativas. Sin embargo, una vez conoce los detalles de un caso es incapaz de controlarse y tiene que resolverlo. Al conocer a Totomaru, y ver su gran corazón al intentar salvar la vida de un asesino, decide volver a resolver casos subrepticiamente (fingiendo que es Totomaru quien los resuelve) confiando en que Totomaru evitará que los asesinos mueran.

Un detective de carácter inocente y puro que trabaja en la División de Investigaciones de la Policía Metropolitana. A pesar de ser detective, Totomaru (o Toto, como lo llama Ron) carece de talento investigativo. Como Ron tiene prohibido resolver casos, Totomaru es quien oficialmente los "resuelve." Es también Totomaru quien usualmente impide que los culpables se suiciden una vez Ron entra en el trance que los empuja a su muerte.

In the year of Le Cordon Bleu's 120th birthday, we are looking back at some of the most significant moments in the history of the London school. This week we discover the creation of the Coronation Chicken.
Le Cordon Bleu, world renowned for the best education in culinary and used as benchmark for excellence in the industry right back in the 16th century.
The prestigious culinary school has always been proud of its diverse network of students and it was Rosemary Hume, a former Paris student that opened L'Ecole du Petit Cordon Bleu in Marylebone, London in 1933 - making Le Cordon Bleu London one of the oldest cookery schools in the UK.
A slightly more developed version of the recipe is still a nation's favourite today and is served as a lunch dish at Café Le Cordon Bleu London.
Why should you choose the intensive six month Diploma in Cuisine or Pâtisserie rather than the standard nine months? We meet Chang Gao, from Beijing, China who is currently studying our intensive six month Pâtisserie Diploma despite having no other previous culinary experience.
This week we catch up with Anna Schena, who graduated from our Diploma in Wine, Gastronomy and Management earlier in the year to discuss her best memories from the course.

It is *no* secret how excited I have been that Target is carrying NYX. (fyi, the Springhurst Target Location may be getting them soon. A little bird told me that new displays were brought in last week :D) This was one of the first lippies I purchased.
I love the color, and the applicator was very smooth (I hate cheapy rough applicators!). The color itself lasted a while, minimal reapplications were needed. The formula itself is not sticky at all! Which is good, considering inexpensive lip glosses tend to be tackier.
The gloss definitely lives up to its name! It is very creamy, and goes on very smoothly. The color looked a bit more pink on my lips. The only downside was the taste and scent. It wasn't horrible, not bad enough to make me stop using it.
All in all, I'm loving every piece I've tried from the NYX line. Makes me wonder why I've never tried them before!
What's your favorite piece from NYX?

Rescue Operations Continue After Mexico's Deadly 7.1 Magnitude Quake
As of Thursday, the death toll from the earthquake reached at least 230.
After a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Mexico on Tuesday, rescue crews are still frantically searching for survivors trapped in the rubble. The death toll has now risen to at least 230 people from across the region.
A government official previously stated as many as 248 people had died, but that number was later revised.
The earthquake struck around 1 p.m. local time. The epicenter was southeast of Mexico City, about 70 miles away — 100 miles by road.
Tuesday's earthquake occurred on the anniversary of the deadly 1985 quake that killed thousands when it struck near Michoacan state.
Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto urged citizens to remain united. As of Wednesday evening, he reported more than 50 people had been rescued from the rubble and that more than 1,900 people had received medical treatment.
Mexico's federal government deployed thousands of soldiers to help with rescue and clean-up efforts.
Mexico's secretary of public education said the earthquake damaged more than 2,200 public schools. At least 25 people, most of whom were children, died inside a private school that collapsed in the quake.

That private school is one of at least 44 buildings that collapsed in Mexico City, according to officials.
Mexico is also recovering from an 8.1 magnitude earthquake that killed close to 100 people Sept. 7.

NYPD Cop Faces Upgraded Charges in Queens Highway Crash That Killed Woman, 22
Published April 26, 2017 • Updated on April 26, 2017 at 9:03 pm
Neville Smith, 32, of the Bronx, has been charged with vehicular manslaughter and other crimes in Sunday's deadly crash on the Van Wyck
The driver of the car that was hit, 22-year-old Vanessa Raghubar, died Monday. Her sister and sister's boyfriend remain critical
Smith was arraigned at the hospital via video conference
The 32-year-old off-duty NYPD cop accused of rear-ending another car on the Van Wyck Expressway in Queens Sunday, killing the driver and critically injuring two passengers, is facing new charges of vehicular manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the deadly crash.
Neville Smith was arraigned Wednesday at the hospital where he was taken after the crash, the Queens district attorney's office said. He was already facing charges of operating under the influence and first-degree vehicular assault.
Smith was allegedly drunk when he crashed into the back of a Honda Accord being driven by 22-year-old Vanessa Raghubar of Elmont, authorities said. The Accord careened into a light pole on the right shoulder, and all three people inside the car were taken to a local hospital with traumatic injuries.
Raghubar died Monday.
Prosecutors say Smith had bloodshot, watery eyes and was slurring when police responsed to the crash scene on the Van Wyck near Rockaway Boulevard at about 4 a.m. His breath smelled strongly of alcohol, but he refused to take a breathalyzer.
A judge signed a court order authorizing the hospital where Smith was taken after the crash to draw blood for analysis.
The two passengers in Raghubar's car are still hospitalized. Maria Raghubar, the driver's 21-year-old sister, has a fractured left arm, a fractured hip and trauma to her internal organs, prosecutors say. Maria's boyfriend, 20-year-old Justin Harriharran, suffered cuts and bruises, as well as a concussion.

Bail was set for Smith at $300,000 bond or $250,000 cash. He's set to return to court on May 11. If convicted, he faces seven years in prison.
A message has been left with Smith's defense attorney.
Vanessa would have graduated from York College in two months, and had a job interview scheduled for Friday, her family told News 4 Monday.

Malware targeting OpenOffice documents is spreading through multiple operating systems including Mac OS, Windows and Linux, according to Symantec.
The advisory said: "A new worm is being distributed within malicious OpenOffice documents. The worm can infect Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X systems. Be cautious when handling OpenOffice files from unknown sources".
The worm was first spotted late last month but at the time, it was not thought to be "in the wild".
Once opened, the OpenOffice file (badbunny.odg) launches a macro that behaves in several different ways depending on the user's operating system.

Where did your studies take you after graduating in 2011?
Following graduation, I relocated to Roxby Downs South Australia to take up a Graduate Mechanical Engineer position with BHP Olympic Dam. During my tenue with BHP I had the opportunity to work in various different engineering roles, supporting different functions of the business including the underground mine, surface processing operations and the vast services facilities on and off site. The training, development and overall experience that BHP provides to graduates entering the workforce is second to none.
I lived and worked in the outback mining town of Roxby Downs for three years, before making the decision to take up a new career and lifestyle opportunity in Tasmania with Simplot Australia in food manufacturing. I spent two years working for Simplot in Tasmania as the Site Services Engineer overseeing the French Fry manufacturing site's steam, freezing and waste plant operations.
What are you doing professionally at the moment?
In January 2017 I took on the role of Engineering Manager at Simplot's Echuca manufacturing plant, which is the home of the famous Leggo's Pasta Sauce brand. My team consists of approximately 25 professional engineers and trades overseeing maintenance, project engineering, automation and reliability for the site.
The past 12 months has been significant in the site's history, as we transitioned the manufacturing of Chicken Tonight, Raguletto and Five Brothers sauces into Echuca following the acquisition of these brands by Simplot from Symington's in 2016.
Did the GAF scholarship influence you/your career beyond your years studying at Swinburne?
The GAF scholarship has definitely helped shape my career and personal development beyond studying. The connection with the Foundation continues to highlight the importance of being actively involved in the community and has provided a great professional network through the foundation alumni. George Alexander's notion of 'planting seeds and hoping they grow into pretty big trees' has also encouraged me to support others in the form of mentoring, particularly those early in their professional careers. This has proven to be a rewarding exercise and something I look forward to doing for years to come.
Are you still involved with the community?
Living and working in regional and remote communities has provided many opportunities to be actively involved in the community. Most recently I joined the Echuca SES (State Emergency Service) unit which has been a great way to get involved and give back to the local community. I am looking forward to the challenges and opportunities being involved with the SES will bring.
What's the next stage in your career looking like? What's coming up for you?
I have a genuine passion for Australian manufacturing, particularly in the agribusiness and value added food manufacturing space. The next stage of my career will see me continue to diversify my experience and skillset within the food supply chain with ambition to become a senior leader in this space in the future. I am also currently exploring opportunities to become involved in advisory groups, boards and not-for-profits.

Telehouse to Heat Homes at Docklands
Waste heat from the huge new Telehouse West data center in the London Docklands will soon be used in nearby houses and businesses.
Rich Miller | Apr 15, 2009
Can a data center heat your home or office? It can in London, where excess heat from servers at the new Telehouse West data center in the Docklands will soon be used in nearby houses and businesses. The Greater London Authority has approved a plan in which waste heat from the $180 million Telehouse colocation facility will be used in a district heat network for the local Docklands community.
The project is expected to produce up to nine megawatts of power for the local community, and allow the 130,000 square foot Telehouse West to reduce its carbon footprint by 1,110 tons. "The energy savings will equate to boiling 3,000 kettles continuously," the company said.
Telehouse Europe's expansion of its Docklands facility is the first major data centre to gain planning permission in London since the city passed stringent sustainability requirements. Telehouse said the project's approval was enabled by green innovations developed with WSP Group, a London-based international sustainability and engineering consultancy. This will be the first time a data center heat export strategy has been introduced in the UK.
The Telehouse project is the most ambitious effort yet to reuse the excess heat from data centers. IBM has designed a data center in Switzerland that that uses waste heat to warm a nearby community swimming pool. Researchers from Notre Dame University placed a rack of high-performance computing nodes at a local municipal greenhouse, the South Bend Greenhouse and Botanical Garden, to help heat the flowers and plants in the facility
Bob Harris, Technical Services Director of Telehouse Europe, said the reuse of waste heat allows the facility to be a responsible neighbor, while helping the company meet a serious shortage of quality data center space in the London market. "We recognize that any attempt to address the lack of space within the data centre industry has to be undertaken with a level of environmental awareness," Harris said. " By making good use of the waste heat from the facility, we can minimise the environmental impact of Telehouse West and provide a valuable resource to the local community."
Telehouse has two existing data centers in the Docklands, with 300,000 square feet of data centre space housing more than 700 telecoms and colocation service providers. Telehouse West is part of a global expansion of Telehouse facilities to meet surging demand for data center space from its clients in the financial and telecom industries. Telehouse will invest in an additional 160,000 square feet of new facilities near Paris and open a new 16,000 square foot data center in Singapore, a new market for the company. Telehouse recently opened a datacenter in Beijing, China and already operates three facilities in the New York area, and one apiece in Los Angeles and Hong Kong.
"Our team has worked on a solution which integrates various aspects of the new building to reduce its environmental impact considerably," said Martyn Bishop, Senior Technical Director at WSP Buildings. "It demonstrates that taking a holistic view pays dividends."
In 2002 city officials formed a London Sustainable Development Commission designed to make London an "exemplary sustainable world city" that combines economic growth, improved environmental management, and "social inclusivity to allow all Londoners to share in London's future success." The London Plan includes a provision on sustainable energy that Telehouse had to contend with to gain approval.
"The Mayor recognized that the Telehouse proposal has the potential to mitigate the proposed development's contribution to the urban heat island effect and provide impetus for a district heat network in the area," said Kieran Rushe of Planning Consultants Dalton Warner Davis. "The GLA (Greater London Authority) said that the agreed solution represents the best possible outcome within the specific constraints of the scheme and accords with the objectives of London Plan policy 4A.6."
Telehouse West is scheduled to be completed in 2010.

Q: Problem passing the correct value in ID to another page I am using a form to edit comments and using the hidden input fields to pass the value,
the form is something like this.
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>" class="input" />
<input type="hidden" name="com_name" value="<?php echo $name;?>"/>
<input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $email; ?>" class="input" />
<input type="hidden" name="com_email" value="<?php echo $email;?>"/>
<input type="text" name="phone" value="<?php echo $phone; ?>" class="input" />
<input type="hidden" name="com_phone" value="<?php echo $phone;?>"/>
<input type="text" name="location" value="<?php echo $location; ?>" class="input" />
<input type="hidden" name="com_location" value="<?php echo $location;?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="com_id" value="<?php echo $id; ?>"/>
<textarea name="comment" cols="" rows="" class="comment-msg"><?php echo $comment; ?>
</textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="com_comment" value="<?php echo $comment;?>"/>
<input name="com_update_1" type="submit" class="btn-70" value="" />

and i am using the while loop to iterate the value in the form fields. my while loop code is
$query = "SELECT comments.*,
                news.title
                FROM comments JOIN news ON comments.news_id = news.id
                ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $from, " . COMM_POST_NUMBER;
      $result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
      $id = $row['id'];
      $date = date("d-F-Y", $row['timestamp']);
      $name = stripslashes($row['name']);
      $email = stripslashes($row['email']);
      $phone = stripslashes($row['phone']);
      $location = stripslashes($row['location']);
      $comment = stripslashes($row['comment']);
      $news_id = $row['news_id'];
      $title = stripslashes($row['title']);
      $approve = $row['approve'];

The Iteration works well and it prints the value from the database perfectly and the hidden input field with value ID holds the correct value in this page i.e(comments.php). but when i want to pass the value to different page <form action="action.php" method="post">  my trouble starts it takes only the first id when i hit submit. i.e id with value 1 and it refuses to take any other values from id.
Here is the code from the view source code of the browser
<div class="comments-toggle">
 <input type="text" name="name" value="My Name is 16" class="input" />
 <input type="hidden" name="com_name" value="My Name is 16"/>
 <input type="text" name="email" value="check@email.com" class="input" />
 <input type="hidden" name="com_email" value="check@email.com"/>
 <input type="text" name="phone" value="919999999999" class="input" />
 <input type="hidden" name="com_phone" value="919999999999"/>
 <input type="text" name="location" value="Somewhere" class="input" />
 <input type="hidden" name="com_location" value="Somewhere"/>
 <input type="hidden" name="com_id" value="16"/>
 <textarea name="comment" cols="" rows=""class="comment-msg">
</textarea>
 <input type="hidden" name="com_comment" value=""/>
  <input name="com_update" type="submit" class="btn-70" value="" />
   </div>

here is the code from action.php
 if( isset($_POST['com_update'])) {
        echo $id = $_POST['com_id'];
    if( isset($_POST['name'])) {
        echo $name = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name'])));
        $query = "UPDATE comments SET name = '$name' WHERE id = '$id'";
        $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error');
        }

how do i make it pass the correct id values to action.php?

A: The way to achieve this is to define your form fields as being ready for conversion to PHP arrays:
<input type="hidden" name="com_id[]" value="16"/>

Now, $_POST['com_id'] should be an array of values.

Shaun Derry urges Cambridge United to be flexible ahead of Coventry City clash
The United boss has tasked his players to adapt to change while Ade Azeez is sidelined

Cambridge United boss Shaun Derry has urged his side to be flexible ahead of their match with Coventry City in Sky Bet League Two.
The U's boss was speaking after his side ground out a hard-fought 1-0 victory away to in-from Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday night, with Jabo Ibehere's first half strike proving the difference.
However, with the length of Ade Azeez's lay-out still undetermined, Derry has tasked his players with being flexible as they try to play with their favoured two strikers up top.
He said: "We obviously made that change to play two up top [at the start of the season] and when you make that change it takes a while to get things right.
"Even on Tuesday night, we started with the diamond and went more to the original 4-4-2 and that served us well.
"I was us to be a flexible group of players, I don't want us to only play in one way. I want us to be able to take our game plan in whatever way we choose to execute it and I think we've done that [this season]."
And with Ibehere still nursing a slight rib problem, the U's boss said that he knows his side is still able to play other formations with just the single striker if needed.
Although while he still has the option available, he hopes the top two of Uche Ikpeazu and Ibehre will continue their good form.
He said: "If we are to be losing a play in an important position like Ade, we know we can play with one at the top and we know we can play with one off.
"I want us to play with two, but sometimes when these situations occur you have to go back to the drawing board everyone now and then.
"But whenever you've got Uche and Jabo, if they can continue the form and the way we can play off them at the moment in time, that will service us well but we need a little bit of luck and a little bit of consistency at the top."

Scottish Liberal Democrat health spokesperson Jim Hume has warned that Scotland's older people are suffering most from a crisis which has left over 1,000 patients kept in hospital despite being clinically able to leave.
Delayed discharges figures published today showed that in April 2015, more than 400 patients waited for more than the maximum target of two weeks to be discharged. This is a 14% increase from the previous month.
Of the 47,476 bed days caused by delayed discharges in April 2015, almost three quarters were occupied by patients aged 75 and over.
"Scotland's older people suffer most from the bed blocking crisis.
"It is disappointing that more than 400 patients were kept in hospital for more than two weeks despite being clinically able to leave.
"Bed blocking is not only a frustrating experience for patients and their families, but it also heaps pressure on a health system already close to boiling point.
"The SNP in the Scottish Government has taken its eye off the ball to focus on its independence plans. Barely a day goes by without news of further troubles facing Scotland's NHS.

text: Didier Yves Drogba Tébily (French pronunciation: [didje dʁɔɡba]; born 11 March 1978) is an Ivorian retired professional footballer who played as a striker.[5] He is the all-time top scorer and former captain of the Ivory Coast national team. He is best known for his career at Chelsea, for whom he has scored more goals than any other foreign player and is currently the club's fourth highest goal scorer of all time. Widely regarded as one of Chelsea's greatest players, Drogba was named in the Chelsea team of the 2010–2020 decade by Chelsea's fans.[6] He was named African Footballer of the Year twice, winning the accolade in 2006 and 2009. After playing in youth teams, Drogba made his professional debut aged 18 for Ligue 2 club Le Mans, and signed his first professional contract aged 21. After finishing the 2002–03 season with 17 goals in 34 appearances for Ligue 1 side Guingamp, he moved to Olympique de Marseille, where he finished as the third highest scorer in the 2003–04 season with 19 goals and helped the club reach the 2004 UEFA Cup Final. In July 2004, Drogba moved to Premier League club Chelsea for a club record £24 million fee, making him the most expensive Ivorian player in history. In his debut season he helped the club win their first league title in 50 years, and a year later he won another Premier League title. His displays saw him named in the FIFA World XI for 2007. In March 2012, he became the first African player to score 100 Premier League goals.[7] Just two months later, he scored in Chelsea's 2012 FA Cup Final win over Liverpool to become the first (and as of 2017, the only) player to score in four separate FA Cup finals.[8] He also played in the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final, in which he scored an 88th-minute equaliser and the winning penalty in the deciding shoot-out against Bayern Munich.[9] After spending 6 months with Shanghai Shenhua in China, and one and a half seasons with Turkish club Galatasaray where he scored the winning goal in the final of the 2013 Turkish Super Cup, Drogba returned to Chelsea in July 2014.[10][11] With a career record of scoring 10 goals in 10 finals winning 10 trophies at club level, Drogba has been referred to as the "ultimate big game player."[12][13] He joined Canadian club Montreal Impact in 2015 as a Designated Player and played 41 matches over two seasons, scoring 23 goals. Drogba became a player–owner for Phoenix Rising of the United Soccer League in 2017, and retired a year later at the age of 40. An Ivory Coast international between 2002 and 2014, Drogba captained the national team from 2006 until his retirement from the Ivory Coast team and is the nation's all-time top goalscorer with 65 goals from 105 appearances.[1][14] He led the Ivory Coast to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, their first appearance in the tournament, and also scored their first goal. He later captained the Ivory Coast at the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups.[15] He was part of the Ivory Coast teams that reached the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2006 and 2012, but were beaten on penalties on both occasions. On 8 August 2014, he announced his retirement from international football.[16] In 2018, Drogba retired from professional football at the age of 40.[5] Afterwards, on 11 December, he became Vice President of the international organization Peace and Sport.[17]

High speed rail proposal questioned by advisor to Department for Transport
Today's Guardian reports that Robert Cochrane, the government advisor to the Department of Transport, has questioned the likely take-up for the Conservatives' proposed 180mph railway links.
"Tory plans to replace a third runway at Heathrow airport with a high-speed rail line were dealt a blow yesterday after a government adviser said passenger demand for 180mph train journeys might be too low.
"Robert Cochrane, an adviser to the Department for Transport on long-distance travel, said Britain could not assume the success of high-speed rail networks in Europe would be replicated here. Britain had a different distribution of population and economic centres from that of countries such as France and Germany, he said.
"'I am not against high-speed rail but we have to face challenges when we do the analysis.'"
Cochrane further criticised the proposals on other grounds:
Cochrane also questioned whether a high-speed link between Birmingham and London was necessary: "We don't need to go that fast." He added that public money should not be invested in the line because high-speed rail would not benefit the least well-off. "I think subsidies should go to individuals who need them."
Cochrane's claims are disputed by the Shadow Transport team:
"Stephen Hammond, the shadow transport minister, said the Conservatives had taken 'excellent advice' on high-speed rail and were confident that a new line would be a success. 'We are absolutely certain that it will work. We are certain that it will bring major environmental benefits and that it will take 66,000 flights out of the short-haul network.'"
The Conservative Party is backing high-speed rail as an alternative to the expansion of Heathrow to ensure a third runway. Recently, ConservativeHome's Platform hosted Shadow Transport Secretary Theresa Villers and Conservative MP David Wilshire debating for and against this proposal.

Greengauge21 is a very professional lobbying group for the high speed rail link and it's well worth looking at what they've written. The arguments they make are persuasive and include DfT demand forecasts which seem to contradict Cochrane.

He added that public money should not be invested in the line because high-speed rail would not benefit the least well-off.
Does everything have to be about directly benefitting the least well off?
Everyone has to live in this country and the high speed rail should be available to all, that's the point, not just to help poorer people that can't afford to drive/fly (who will indirectly benefit even if they don't use it themselves)
Is he saying it should bypass birmingham to go manchester?
Posted by: Norm Brainer | October 24, 2008 at 08:37
We absolutely should be investing in this lasting piece of transport infrastructure, which will benefit far more people than a third runway. The question of cost can be managed on the ground, the main thing is to get the high-speed link up and running.
Posted by: Tony Makara | October 24, 2008 at 09:17
They'll use any argument to stop a perfectly sensible plan which would take many off the roads, ease congestion, save lives through accidents, give a cleaner environment, bring masses of jobs throughout the country, get goods, people and post shipped about faster, give Britain a feel of being advanced instead of backward and connect millions of people culturally, socially and economically, and instead make a festering environmental and ecological unfriendly ramp for aircraft, which will unhome countless numbers of people, fill the air with more Co2, not bring benefits to the roads or any of the above in terms of jobs, and cost a fortune on the back of travel figures which are out of date and expected not to rise given there's less money in society as a result of their other lunatic policies.
So there !
Well said Norm.
Train travel is prohibitively expensive in the UK.
Is there anyone except politicians whose tickets are funded by taxpayers who can actually afford long-distance regular train travel?
Regular train commuters have been stiffed on prices over the past few years leading to many having to 'drive down the line' to afford to get on the train.
The Tory proposals so far have been to jack up the price of air and car travel, ignoring the fact that it will simply put long-distance travel beyond all but the rich and state-subsidised.
Affordable travel is as essential to the economy as affordable credit, and yet the Tories preferred solution will not help the regular traveller at all.
There is no point in having the means if you can't afford to use them Tony!
We need runways not Zac-friendly pet projects that we be expensive and benefit few.
What does he mean "we don't need to go that fast"? Who is this man and who does he represent?

What is the supposed connection between a third runway at Heathrow and a new railway through England? It puzzles me.
Posted by: David | October 24, 2008 at 09:57
GB£, there is little point in arguing about price and take up at this stage, the main thing is to ensure that our country has a transport system in place to last the next fifty years and beyond. We always need to be thinking in terms of the future rather than just being anchored to question of cost and travel volume today.
I'm a little divided on this one. Public transport infrastructure is great, but building a high speed shuttle to serve air travellers? I'm not so sure.
With land prices and construction relatively cheap, I think some line widening with bridge rebuilding would be worthwhile.
I also had a peculiar idea - I have no idea if it's feasible - which is to add some kind of public transport which makes use of the hard shoulder - it could be as simple as making the hard shoulder a coach lane for National Express and similar companies.
Let's see if the misguided minds here can come up with something based on that.
This high speed rail proposal was worked out in some detail by the Institution of Civil Engineers around late 2005 and was well received.
If there was any confidence in it being delivered in around a third of the time and on budget it would be a go-er, but we all know it won't be.
Its costs will increase, it will get delayed.
As the debate on Villiers's article yesterday showed, there is widespread support of a complete overhaul of transport which would support high speed rail, more air capacity around London etc but everyone knows the UK is hopeless at this sort of thing and using 2027-2030 as a timeframe is a joke - if Boris has any sense he will have his entire staff working on the Thames Estuary Airport plans and launch them before the Heathrow decision is made in around 4-8 weeks, but he won't. He'll conduct a review that will take years, studies that will take longer, and it's highly unlikely that anything even resembling a blueprint will be produced before his re-election campaign in 2012. In light of that, whatever is quickest and most in the private sector is best, and if the threat of more noise and pollution upsets our green friends in their million pound houses in west London then maybe they can pressure Boris into getting Thames Estuary off the back of an envelope rather than acting like NIMBYs.

which is to add some kind of public transport which makes use of the hard shoulder
Nooooooo... the hard shoulder is there for a reason and shouldn't be used for general traffic or a bus lane (although is in a few places at peak times now)
The left lane on a motorway never gets used much anyway, too many middle/right lane hoggers; officially permitting lefthand overtaking would clear traffic if that's what you were looking to do, but I think the rail plan is mostly aimed at a different market, to enable more people to travel and do it faster to reduce internal flights, I doubt it would reduce traffic so much.
You could build a train that had horizontal wheels to run down the middle of the armco in the middle of a motorway. Would have to knock down all the bridges though.
Why do we have this nonsense about expensive rail travel? Few will turn up at an airport and expect to pay rock bottom fares (even - and especially - with 'budget' airlines, where you only access the lower fares by booking well ahead and being lucky!) Non-business travellers can almost always plan their journey - even two or three days ahead - and easily access very significantly lower fares. Business travellers SHOULD be planning ahead but don't - and winge when they pay similar 'walk up' fares to those which they would pay by 'walking up' at an airport. Roll on DC in No 10 and the daft Heathrow and road-widening schemes being junked!!

Why do we have this nonsense about expensive rail travel?
Oh you mean like people thinking in advance and buying an annual season ticket?
In percentage terms, how much higher is an annual season ticket price compared to 5 years ago?
In suffolk, they have gone up so much that many people can no longer afford to board the train at their nearest station.
One of the effects of having the high speed network would be to reduce congestion on the existing lines. There's no reason why the existing services might not reduce their prices in order to compete for passengers with the high speed line and so make long-distance travel more accessible to poorer people.
I do agree that potentially the London-Brum leg will offer the least benefits over existing services, but this ignores the benefits of the line north of Birmingham (a 17 minute commute time between Leeds and Manchester would give the opportunity to view the Liverpool-Hull corridor as a single large economic area, particularly if the high speed link encouraged the upgrading of the feeder lines into Leeds and Manchester).
If Birmingham doesn't need the line, how about rerouting it Manchester-Leeds-Sheffield-East Midlands (a new hub between Nottingham/Derby/Leicester)-MK-London? How loud would the West Midlands whine if that happened?

We need runways
But not at Heathrow. There is simply no room anymore - the whole airport is surrounded and has little room for expansion. The one they would build there would be too short for larger aircraft. And even if it is built the capacity will get used up again v quickly.
We need to end the restriction for building at Gatwick now - put a bill through Parliament if necessary. We could build plenty of runways and new terminal buildings there. Just drop the obsession with Heathrow being the UK's "leading" international airport and it will work out fine.
But I think that we need new rail links too. High-speed rail would benefit lots of people - forget the environmental argument. It still takes far too long to travel across the country. Trains are much more convenient than planes for domestic travel.
Posted by: Raj | October 24, 2008 at 11:03
High speed rail links will benefit the "least well off" not on expenses if they absorb the bulk of business travel so that more second class seats can be provided on other trains.
As things are, many "least well off" often have to stand- having paid for a ticket- while there are empty seats in First.
Posted by: Susan Wade Weeks | October 24, 2008 at 11:22
I have never read such misleading guff put out by this government. Rail is cheaper, more environmentally friendly and quicker (for journeys under 3hrs such as London-Birmingham, Birmingham-Newcastle) than air. FACT.
Posted by: train nerd | October 24, 2008 at 13:05
"We don't need to go that fast." Does this mean the DfT are planning on reintroducing Stevenson's Rocket and bi-planes?
And on what basis does he argue passengers won't switch? Eurostar to Paris has been rather effective against aviation.
The railway is not just about passengers - which will come, whatever rot this unelected odd-ball claims without proof - but freight also. Cargo terminals at Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool Docks for "roll on roll off" traffic could take thousands of lorries off the roads and be supported by hauliers too (drivers need rest, faster, less wear etc.)
Posted by: David T Breaker | October 24, 2008 at 13:21
hmm wot about- give road haulage firms/vehicles the option to pay less VED if cirtain registered vehicles only travel between 9pm-6am on main roads. Enforcable issues I know, but by and large the motorways and main transport roads are empty at these times and it would take a large amount of slow moving traffic out of peak times. Of course this would only benifit firms that use main routes for haulage and that have well placed depots. This also doesn't address foreign haulage on our roads as they don't pay VED (or do they is another form)

"You could build a train that had horizontal wheels to run down the middle of the armco in the middle of a motorway."
The Irish already thought of that one! ....
"The Lartigue Monorail was a unique railway line which ran from Listowel to Ballybunion between 1888 & 1924. Reputed to be the only one of its type in the world to commercially operate, it was characterised by an engine and carriages which ran along a single rail standing 3 feet off the ground through the centre of the train.
Links to images are too long to insert here. Just Google "Lartigue Monorailway"
Posted by: Ken Stevens | October 24, 2008 at 14:32
ah, someone has always done the ideas I have before!
I'm sure if high speed rail was introduced in this country it would just be standard gauge bi-rail as we don't go for innovation here anymore.
Just like crossrail was a missed opportunity to do something a bit different like when the train is in tunnel put rails on the ceiling for added stability and therefore higher speed, or let motorbikes/cars go on it, but no, we just get plans for a standard passenger train, less inventive than 19th century designs.
A high speed line is essential and would help massively in shrinking the country and bringing wealth to the North.
Posted by: Matt Wright | October 25, 2008 at 00:23
A high speed rail line is not essential, and will do little to mitigate the need for increased UK airport capacity. The majority of leading UK airport facilities are cheaply constructed, shoddily furnished, and already operating at or above capacity. Aviation forms the backbone of inter-city transport in the US. The North American aviation infrastructure, and the rapidly growing ones in the Middle East and Asia, provide the bread and butter for creative, successful UK leaders in their fields, including Rolls-Royce and others.
It's time for the anti-growth, aristocratic fops who have gained the ascendancy to stop pontificating about how they can destroy the last vestiges of an effective state education system that has provided technical leadership and talent, and to stop disparaging an industry at which the UK is at the vanguard.

fou un aixecador rus que va competir sota bandera soviètica durant la dècada de 1960.

El 1964 va prendre part en els Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de Tòquio, on va guanyar la medalla d'or en la prova del pes gall del programa d'halterofília.

En el seu palmarès també destaquen tres medalles d'or en la categoria del pes gall al Campionat del Món d'halterofília, el 1963, 1964 i 196; i tres d'or i una de bronze al Campionat d'Europa d'halterofília de 1963, 1965, 1966 i 1968 respectivament, també en el pes gall. A nivell nacional es proclamà sis vegades campió soviètic (1961-1964, 1966 i 1967). Va establir sis rècords mundials i 20 rècords nacionals.

El 1964 va rebre l'Orde de la Insígnia d'Honor. Es va retirar el 1970, per passar a treballar com a miner i entrenador d'halterofília. Els darrers anys de la seva vida fou un addicte a l'alcohol, cosa li provocà la mort en una baralla el 1993. Des del 1994 se celebra un torneig d'halterofília en honor seu a Xakhti, la ciutat on va viure els seus darrers anys.

Last month we reported Google launched a new form to report Google My Business/Google Maps spam. After a few weeks in, local SEOs are reporting how fast you can see action after a spam report is submitted.
It seems it currently ranges from 1.5 weeks to a bit over 2 weeks right now.
All of mine have worked. It takes about 1.5 weeks.
Same, all of mine have worked as well. I include a ton of proof in my escalations though.
Also, I am experiencing the same time period.
Looking like the turn around is about 12 business days so far... anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Q: Selenium test fails to run with IE11 on build machine running TFS 2018 build agent I've been trying for a while now to get selenium tests working with IE 11 on our build machine. Our build machine runs Windows 10 with IE11 and we use TFS 2018. The build agent is configured to run interactively with auto-logon. My test runs on my local machine with IE, Chrome and Firefox. Chrome and Firefox also work on the build machine, just IE I can't get to work. I've added the registry entries and checked all other settings according to the following documentation:

After adding the delay as suggested by DebanjanB I'm getting now the following exception. It says the window was closed but it is actually still open. The behavior is so weird.

It is clear from the error stack trace that the driver is unable to locate the element identified as :
driver.FindElement(By.Id("sb_form_q"))

As you mentioned, test runs on your local machine with IE, Chrome and Firefox. Chrome and Firefox also work on the build machine, just IE  can't get to work may happen as different Web Browsers renders the HTML DOM differently.
Solution
A solution would be to induce WebDriverWait with ExpectedConditions clause ElementToBeClickable as follows :
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.Id("sb_form_q"))).SendKeys("VSTS");

An innovative and integrated approach that requires a "new generation" of professionals, more complete, more flexible, more capable of creating and managing international networks, with new skills and a renewed sensitivity and leadership spirit. With the Master's Degree in Cultural Heritage Territorial Development, UPT intends to embrace this educational and scientific challenge and train professionals who, independently of their original areas of knowledge, intend to become professionally involved in the process of sustainable territorial development through integrated and innovative strategies. The international character of the Master in Cultural Heritage and Territorial Development allows participants to be involved in a real international context in which students from different cultures will share experiences in study and research tasks. It is pretended to foster, in accordance with UNESCO and the United Nations guidelines, a spirit of global cooperation for the construction of a "globally devised and locally implemented" future of peace.
Course accredited by A3ES.
Why choose this course?
The Master in Cultural Heritage and Territorial Development is innovative in the pedagogical approach as well as in its subjects. Didactics, scientific research and the fieldwork component are strongly interlinked, and an international environment will be the framework for this joint effort for the personal development of each participant.
These characteristics allow participants to acquire competences that are strongly sought in the labor market: the theoretical and practical domain of concepts related to heritage management, tourism and development; a comprehensive and integrated vision; a critical and open thinking; the capacity of integration in multicultural contexts; and leadership spirit. This course guarantees to its participants a training and acquisition of skills that are clearly above average. It is ensured the building of a bright future for professionals who will build the bright future of the world.

Also a scientific career is among the possible career paths of this Master.
Some Career Prospects
Cultural Manager
Corporate Events Manager
Entertainment Event Producer
Archaeologist Specialising in Tourism
The objective of the Master in Cultural Heritage and Territorial Development is to train professionals who are able to face the new challenges of heritage management and valorization in the scope of new models of territorial development. The conservation, interpretation and enhancement of tangible and intangible cultural resources as socio-economic factors are key tasks in the context of new development paradigms, for which traditional professionals are no longer sufficient: new challenges in the field of cultural policies, of tourism development and territorial planning require the presence - in the public sector as well as in the private sector - of professionals with adequate training, transversal, strong leadership and networking capacity, who are sensitized to the importance of a holistic approach and a particular sensitivity with regard to the themes of sustainability and heritage valorization for residents and tourists.
The aim is to offer students a complete view of the phenomenon through a holistic approach: the analysis of the phenomenon from the point of view of scientific research will be complemented by an analysis of good national and international practices throughout the first year. The creation of this bridge between theory and practice will be given above all by the presence of highly experienced teachers, not only in the scientific field, but also with a great deal of practical knowledge and experience of projects of valorization in national and international scope. The second year will be devoted to scientific / field work and to the dissertation.
