Halloween last year was scary mostly because the pandemic was ramping up again, causing many local seasonal events to be cancelled.
This year, though, South Bay residents can get back to their usual fright night activities, as Halloween is by and large back on.
Cupertino is celebrating Halloween a little early with Monster Mash on Oct. 29. From 7-8:30 p.m., parents and children ages 12 and younger can dress in their favorite costumes and head to the Quinlan Community Center, 10185 N. Stelling Road, where they'll spend the evening playing games, trick-or-treating and making spooky crafts.
Registration includes one child and two adults and is $10 for Cupertino residents and $12 for non-residents until Oct. 24. After that date, it's $15 for residents and $17 for non-residents. Register at https://www.cupertino.org/our-city/departments/parks-recreation/community-events/monster-mash.
After last year's virtual version, the Sunnyvale Pet Parade will once again be a live Halloween event. At 9 a.m. on Oct. 31, pets and their caregivers will walk, hop or slither down Murphy Avenue in downtown Sunnyvale. Prizes will be awarded to both animals and pet owners whose costumes stand out.
Registration is free at https://www.sunnyvalepetparade.com.
In San Jose, Winchester Mystery House is decorated for both indoor and outdoor seasonal tours. The Lost in the House Tour takes visitors on a theatrical paranormal investigative adventure through the mansion, while the family-friendly Jack O' Lantern Trail features dozens of hand-carved pumpkin displays throughout the Victorian Gardens. Visitors to the gardens can also try their hand at ax-throwing or take aim at Sarah's Attic Shooting Gallery for an additional fee.
The Lost in the House Light Show uses the front of the mansion as the canvas for projections that complement the tour and the trail.
"The Lost in the House Tour takes its cue from the many revealing paranormal investigations we've hosted, going back all the way to Houdini's historic visit in 1924," Winchester Mystery House General Manager Walter Magnuson said in a statement.
All Hallows' Eve runs on select nights through Oct. 31. Tickets are available at winchestermysteryhouse.com.

Snapchat, the Arab World and Global Implications
Snapchat, without a doubt, has a peculiar and special relationship with the Arab world, but can it change the global outlook of the community and the community's view of itself?
On July 7th when millions of active Snapshot users had the chance to view Tel Aviv through the app's 'Live Story' feature, there was one response the company failed to foresee: the backlash from the Muslim and Palestinian community for failing to mention Palestinians and for featuring the city so close to the 1 year anniversary of the Gaza-Israel war.
In response, just two days later, Snapchatters woke to find that the West Bank too was now featured on the app's Live Story. Yet what many saw as a simple 'victory' for the Palestinians spelled out the start of something much bigger. Compared to the two cities featured from the entire continent of Africa, there have already been more than seven cities highlighted from the Middle East, ranging from Dubai to Manama and even the Saudi-Arabian capital, Riyadh.
These "Live Stories" are remarkably fresh, and by Snapchat geo-tagging an entire city or live event it allows everyday people in those places to submit their own videos and experiences to all Snapchat users. This change to user-generated content, with minimal input for Snapchat apart from picking through the hours of content for five minutes of the best, marks a change in the digital age – signaling the bolstering of bottom-up information transfer as a popular and effective model.
Even more importantly, it engages the youth, ages 13 to 24, who make up to 81% of the users. Though the role of Snapchat as an intermediary is limited, choosing the videos promoted in the story does have its critics, especially in light of the West Bank story where Israeli soldiers and most signs of the occupation were strangely missing, this bottom-up approach can have wide-reaching consequences for the region, and the world at large.
Tackling Islamophobia
Despite the decline of overall crime in America since the 1990s, anti-Muslim crimes have sky-rocketed from 30.6 crimes a year in the U.S. before 9/11 to 159.5 crimes a year after 9/11 – a near five-fold increase. Research from the Pews Research Center shows that, in the US, Muslims are viewed "more coldly" than all other religious groups by the general public, with the overwhelming majority placing them on a negative rating scale. Yet this is not a domestic matter, it's a global phenomenon.
In Spain, where Muslims only make up 2% of the population, more than 60% of respondents feel that "Islam is not compatible with the West." According to the polling institute, Ipsos, 74% of the French public believes that "Islam is not compatible with French society." Public attitude toward Muslims in the west is having direct effects on the global community, not only in how the governments of these countries respond or react to Arab or Muslim-majority countries, but also on the Muslim community elsewhere. Gallup shows us that the rights of Western Muslims are considered "important to Muslims globally."
And that's where Snapchat comes in. As an app it has found immeasurable interest from the Arab world – with Saudi Arabia ranking second globally with the number of users, despite having a relatively small population compared to most developed nations. The fever created around the 'Live Story' feature and Snapchat is such that the hashtag #mecca live calling Snapchat to feature the holy city of Mecca during Ramadan created a massive twitter trend with 300,000 tweets joining in the campaign.
The company, ever attentive to its users and demographics, listened and Mecca's Grand Mosque went live on July 13. Its effect isn't just simply promoting the city to the rest of the world, but to change entrenched views of the Islamic world as dangerous, barbaric, or inhumane. The 6 minute story showed Muslims praying or in various stages of their pilgrimage and all in such a way that created a secondary hashtag trend around Mecca with non-Muslims around the world citing its beauty or positivity. The effect was repeated again by the featuring of Eid celebrations in Jatarkha, Dubai and Riyadh. Muslims welcomed it as a positive change from the negative perception that was created about them by mainstream media, hoping the genuine and user-generated content would be enough to showcase to the world about the "true nature" of Islam as peaceful.
With global attitudes changed through better cultural understanding or awareness, cultural relations and citizen diplomacy will become the lead force in changing international relations between governments, and these public links and attitudes will become crucial in deciding the west's military future in the Middle East, whether through NATO or the UN. This correlation means that a positive image of Islam domestically in western countries would significantly drop the public's support for military intervention or invasion during any future crisis.
Social media has always found its effects multiplied in the Middle-East, where it has been instrumental in sparking and organizing the Arab Spring, a movement so potent that it disposed heads of states, changed constitutions and created civil wars. Yet, with many comparing the Arab Spring of 2012 to the Color Revolutions after the fall of Soviet communism, it is readily apparent that social media has not been the cause of the uprising, as it wasn't even present in the Color Revolutions; it has simply created the conditions where it easier to exploit discontent with the current systems-of-things and convert it to direct action.
Snapchat won't change that fact; it will simply add more tools to the hands of disadvantaged or disgruntled citizens who want to campaign for change. It is one of the few apps free from any government censorship due to the fact that messages or images sent through the device are deleted seconds after being sent. That, along with the added feature of being able to follow certain accounts without adding them, has meant that celebrities, activists, and companies are flocking to the app. Allowing this feature means that socialization isn't only limited to friendship clusters, and social activists groups are already taking advantage of that by creating accounts like 'GlimpseofGaza.'
'GlimpseofGaza' is an account created in light of the West Bank Live Story, after witnessing the fact that hundreds of 'snaps' about the Israeli occupation had failed to make it into the story, Gazans on the other side of the country created the account to show "un-censored" videos and images of life in Gaza. The account is shared by a group of social activists who post from all across Gaza to show the neighborhoods and towns affected by the 2014 war, showing videos of families living in rubble or talking to Palestinians who had lost family members. There are countless other accounts like this already, gaining hundreds and thousands of followers in days, exposing their discontent with their current conditions or treatment in a way that no other social media ever could: with intimate and personal detail.
In other words, Snapchat can revitalize political movements in the Muslim world where the Arab Spring failed to reach or make enough impact. But that is only one possibility, and there's already one major affect that it's having.
Bolstering regional self-confidence
There was a carnival like atmosphere in Bahrain on the 22 of July when the country was featured in the Live Story. Hundreds of teens flocked to Manama, the capital, to be within the geographic range to post their videos onto the story. When an app as big as Snapchat pays attention to a region which has traditionally been ignored, either by big companies as a subset of either Africa or Asia, or by the mainstream media unless it is to cover protests or civil uprisings, it is an entirely uplifting precedent. However Arabs and Muslim's didn't flock to Snapchat because it gave them respect, it was because these groups were flocking to the app in such disproportionate proportions that the app gave them a 'peculiar' attention that they weren't used to.
Therefore ultimately the biggest effect this relationship has between the Arab world and Snapchat is that it has whole-heartedly increased the self-confidence of, and within, the region. The Story feature picks out the best of the videos sent, so when a city is shown to the rest of the world, its best features, its best people, and its best quirks are on ready display. These are quirks that most of the local communities have simply forgotten through the monotony of everyday life- they need to be reminded. When they watch their own cities up online, they are radiant, and content, and yet ultimately pacified.
With Snapchat being the fasted growing social media app in 2014, where it grew 56% between the first and third quarter of the year, coupled with the fact that it already has such a strong foothold in the region, and that it's so dominated by the youth, this pacifying effect can become very quantifiable in the future.
During a time of general discontent in the Middle East, amplified by social media, revolts for political reform dominated the region. Now, at a time where Arab nationalism is high and pride from personal, national and cultural achievements are being celebrated, and yet great difficulties and discontent still exist, Snapchat will, like every other social media, mirror this while amplifying those achievements and quietly ignoring all the failings. This will spark a movement in the region where instead of deadly riots focused on changing heads of states, protestors will argue for their country to achieve more and be more efficient, as the politically-active youth, noticing the discrepancy in the way their city is portrayed and the duller and harsher reality, will want development and achievement to reach every part of their lives.
Because ultimately, Snapchat has been a tool to increase intimacy and personality in a time where social media has become increasingly depersonalized and robotic, and this reversal and the fact that it's so popularly embraced, has global implications.

Solar Rebates & Incentives: Resources to Aid & Inform Your Prospects
Quincy Goss
Industry & Policy » Solar Rebates & Incentives: Resources to Aid & Inform Your Prospects
Stay up to date on all the rebates & incentives news.
To encourage a greater adoption of solar, the federal government, a number of states, and even some utilities offer incentives to make solar more affordable. Common incentives include solar rebates, tax benefits, and performance-based incentives. These offerings can significantly reduce the cost of a solar system, and can help convert even the most hesitant or frugal homeowners.
We've compiled some Aurora resources below to help you educate your solar prospects on some of the federal and local offerings currently available.
What You Need to Know About the Solar ITC Extension
The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) gives back 26% of what a homeowner paid for solar in their taxes. Instead of a deduction, which reduces taxable income, the ITC directly offsets what would otherwise be owed in taxes, and can even come back as a refund.
The ITC extension will provide an extra incentive until 2023. Installers will continue to have this useful tool to convince even the most frugal prospects to go solar. Here's a quick breakdown of how installers and homeowners can benefit.
The Power of SRECs in Your Solar Sales Discussions
Some states offer additional tax credits for homeowners interested in going solar. When state tax credits are paired with the federal ITC, the savings on installing a solar system can really add up!
Many states now have renewable portfolio standards (RPS), which require utilities to procure or generate a certain percentage of electricity from renewable resources. If your prospect lives in an RPS state, their solar panels will create solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) for the amount of electricity produced by your solar panel systems. SRECs significantly increase the return on investment for homeowners, and should be an integral part of your sales conversations.
Selling SRECs can result in hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars more per year in income for a homeowner, depending on the SREC market in their state.
This article explores a number of SREC benefits you'll want to bring to a prospect's attention.
7 California Solar Incentives You Need to Know
California offers quite a few solar incentives and savings benefits, including property-assessed clean energy (PACE), property tax exemption for PV systems, and net energy metering (NEM). With incentives like these, going solar can be both financially feasible and beneficial, even for the most hesitant prospect. Read more about the California incentives here.
Financial Incentives for Installing Solar
This article offers a sweeping overview of common solar incentives so that you can educate your customers on the benefits available to them. It's important to note that these policies benefit customers who purchase their solar installation and are not available to customers who finance their system with leases or PPAs. Read more.
This month in The Current, we'll be exploring more resources to help your solar business educate homeowners — and hopefully turn them into customers. Stay tuned for next week when we'll dive into financing options. In the meantime, subscribe to The Current to get this information delivered to your inbox.

There was a Brahmin named Yagnadutt who believed himself to be a great scholar was living in the city named Krshitipratishthit he always aritised jainism.
Once guruji guide defeated him in a debate so he obeyed and accepted Jainism he observed the vigilence strictly and successfully according to god's instructions.

After the leader's death he became the leader of the society he instructed his colleagues to go to Rajgruha.
He thought that the daughter and the whole wealth of the master Dhansarthavaha should belong to him with such a purpose and decision he entered with his companions into the master's home.
They all took up his wealth and jhidnapped his daughter throwing a sleeping medicine over the other mambers and fled away far to their colony.
Dhan master said to his watchguards that "see my weth has been stolen and my daughter has been kidnapped by the thives so come with me, the wealth found back will be yours & the daughter should be returned to me. "saying so the dhan master, ran after the theives along with his son's watch guard's.
On seeing Dhan master reshing towards him he cut down her head and takeing it went forward.
Now when Dhaneshrashti found him self wrapped in a blanket of extreme sorrow and pain, he returned home here he happened to meet a very intelligent monk who was in a practice of praticing penance.

DERIVATIVES: TEXTS
VIDEO: DERIVATIVES
VIDEO: ACTS
ART: TECHNICALS
ART: DERIVATIVES
1: Can anyone at DEPRIVATION.COM look at the samples I have and tell me what they are?
No, we are very busy.
One of the things that keeps us busy is developing methods so any old so-and-so can easily and accurately test samples themselves. We've advocated a few methods here and in other villages and nearly none of them work. There's so much that we don't know and we are so small compared to DEPRIVATION.
Imagine an ant standing on a watermelon. That's a lot of food for an ant.
2: Are the paper publications at DEPRIVATION ("FOR SALE") available as electronic ("DIGITAL") ?/
3: How can I tell if (EVENTS) are part of DEPRIVATION or if it is a common ghost, eyesores or something else?
You probably can't tell the difference, especially if you're not supposed to.
4: Is any organization of sci-ence looking in to this? How about a school?
If they are, they would never tell us. What would be the point? Since we don't know, the next thing we can do is speculate, which is fine because there's really no penalty for having an imagination (in this context, anyway).
Of course someone, somewhere in some government agency has experienced some (EVENT). But was it a smarty-pants scientist at Space Agency or was it a ranger counting fish eggs in the River Regions?
Consider the Lost or Abandoned or the "Got Behinds." They might be the information nodes and not even know it. That'd be a real kick in the balls, wouldn't it? But that's hardly a school or organization.
5: Has anyone ever filmed an actual, real (EVENT) before?
Yes. We've seen them and made a few ourselves and they all look very fake. It has something to do with the way cameras work and frame rates. There are cameras coming out next year that will solve this problem. Until then, we encourage all of you to make your own materials as accurately and faithfully as your hearts will allow.
Until then, we have a verified photo of EM and some other photos as well.
6a: Why do you make the DERIVATIVE materials? Isn't that "cheating?
As mentioned in #4, there's no penalty for having an imagination. This could be amended to say that there is no penalty unless imagination is not exercised.
We actually know so little. Imagination is a tool of investigation. The DERIVATIVE materials are a space where imagination can ask and answer any and all questions, taking the few crumbs we have and making a sumptuous buffet where your heart can binge and purge with no noticeable side effects.
The posters, for example, are based on witness (MEMORIES) of being in EM realm or in FOSTER realm.
In short, we create DERIVATIVES because we can and because we must.
If we don't explore through creative engagement, then we become disgruntled kooks muttering that most revolting word, CONSPIRACY.
6b: Why do you sometimes use humor in DERIVATIVES?
This comes up a LOT in communications, in-person visits, conventions, etc.. In fact, it probably should have been the first question on this list. Here we go:
In it's entirety, DEPRIVATION is a pretty sad mess. We feel that giving in to the somewhat bleak and occasionally futile reality of DEPRIVATIOn would result in a dense, joyless disaster that no one in their right mind would want to visit. We frequently resort to humor as a means of keeping the material accessible and as a technique to make the whole thing seem less ominous and threatening.
Still, people wonder, "If it's humorous, is it serious?" Of course it's serious in this light – perhaps more so because humor is the way we take our fears and weaknesses and put them in a context that allows us to experience them with relatively little psychic or physical harm.
The alternative to humor is earnestness which is boring and very easy to mock. Seriousness metastasizes into vulgarity and ideology (which is entirely useless). See again, 6A: Without a jovial attitude, "…we become disgruntled kooks muttering that most revolting word, CONSPIRACY."
7: Right. Speaking of conspiracy, is there a conspiracy?
Absolutely not. DEPRIVATION was manifested to us through a family legacy and happy accidents of acquaintance. We've always done our best to be sure that we NEVER fill in the gaps of know-ledge with YAMS! We stick to what we know. What we know sticks to us.
8: How close are you to publishing a guide?
Not as close as we'd like but since we have recently received a lot of help from The United Projects Alliance in Texas, the Guide has gone from "wholly unlikely" to "likely". Extracts from GUIDES will be shared at Deprivation.com as soon as possible. Full Guides will come to print in late 2021 or early 2022.
9: Can I send you a report?
You bet your hot-ass boots, compadre. It's hard to say when we will get your reports on this new "Web-Site" when we've been so slow to move all the old reports from the previous effort. Most of the audio was stored as low-resolution Real Media which is unlistenable by todays standards. We got off on the wrong foot on the 90's. Course-corrections are hard.

'Words, endless words.' How fitting. I love having the words I've memorized echoing in my head all day – as I cook, walk, sit in the car.
Lucina Schwartz
Lucina Schwartz at Martha Frintzila's acting school in Elefsina during the PIIRS Global Seminar in Athens.
By Lucina Schwartz '19
I have a tendency to fill silences. When there is a pause in class, I speak; I often sing when cooking or taking a walk. This is how I understand myself; this is also how I understand Greece, living here briefly as a student participating in the PIIRS Global Seminar, "Re:Staging the Greeks." I feel that Greece, too, fills silences, both in the soundscapes of everyday life and in the sounds of Greek Theater.
First in Athens and then in Epidaurus, I was constantly listening to the background – compelling sounds, difficult to tune out. Athens, like any city, is full of people and vehicles, but for me, it also had its own particular sounds – people shouting prices in our neighborhood's outdoor food market; students chatting as they smoked outside the summer school of Martha Frintzila, our acting professor; the soft drone of cars and the rumble of motorcycles outside my bedroom window. Until this summer, I had never been able to fall asleep easily in a loud city before. I guess it must have helped that, because of all of our seminar's absorbing activities (hours of class, seeing plays, visiting archaeological sites) I was always exhausted by the time I slept. Strangely, for all the incredible things we have done during the seminar, when I think of Athens the first thing I think of is drifting to sleep each evening, cradled in its night noises.
In Epidaurus, where we have come for our final two weeks, night is the quietest time. It's when the cicadas finally quiet their buzzing, which goes on relentlessly all day. During the day, I could hear them even behind the walls of my apartment, as if nature wanted to bring its revelry indoors. For the first few mornings here, in my sleepy haze I mistook the buzzing for my roommate, Feyisola, taking a shower. Among the sounds of Epidaurus are the bees buzzing at breakfast and the waves gently breaking on our backyard shore. When the weather changed from hot, humid and stagnant to cool and windy, the environment's soundscape changed from pulsating garden to whispering shore. The bugs quieted down, too.
I have hardly heard silence this summer in Greece, not only because of the outside background noises but also because of the clamor of Ancient Greek Theater. In his book, "How to Stage Greek Tragedy Today," Simon Goldhill says that Greek tragedy is particularly wordy, and he doesn't mean it in a bad way. When I encountered Goldhill's statement as assigned reading, I already knew it was true from seeing, reading and performing the ancient Greek plays.
We saw over 10 performances, various and splendid, during our time in Greece. The very first play we saw was Amalia Moutousis' one-woman performance of Euripides' "Hippolytus." For much of the play, she spat, coughed and breathed out words like she was possessed by them. Later, we saw a play, "Metropolis," made up of messenger speeches from several of the ancient tragedies, and I experienced the same melodious deluge of Greek. Then, last night, we heard our acting professor Martha and her band sing the choral odes of Euripides' "The Bacchae." It was one of our last scheduled performances, and even though I was moved by the sound of the music alone, I had never wished to understand Greek more desperately.
In these last two weeks, memorizing a scene from Euripides' "Iphigenia in Aulis," a monologue from Aeschylus' "Agamemnon" and a chorus from Euripides' "The Bacchae" has given me the close encounter with Greek tragedy that I so craved when I was reading them too quickly earlier in the program. The monologue I perform, Clytemnestra's speech (spoiler alert) after she has killed her husband, begins, "Words, endless words." How fitting. I love having the words I've memorized echoing in my head all day – as I cook, walk, sit in the car. One day, during a group excursion to town, my scene partner Julia and I recited our scene over and over with as many accents and moods as we could think of. We drove everyone crazy. Here, in Greece's drowsy heat, there has been time to think about the possible meanings of each phrase and to experiment with its expression. It amazes me how the way I perform excerpts from these tragedies has evolved and is still evolving. Our class discussions constantly prompt me to rethink my existing approach.
So, a few days from now, when I return home bearing a few gifts and a lot of dirty laundry, I will also be filled with the sounds of Greece: motorcycles, bugs, endless words…

Noel Edmonds: Death doesn't exist - the planet's biggest problem is electrosmog
The Deal Or No Deal presenter opens up in an exclusive interview about his spiritual beliefs, the BBC, Top Gear and Cecil the Lion
Alex Belfield
Mark JefferiesShowbiz Editor
Updated 14:15, 5 AUG 2015
It's hard to think of much in life that's more down to earth than the comfy jumpers that Noel Edmonds became famous for.
But when he's not hosting Ch4 show Deal or No Deal , he is operating on a far more, well, spiritual plane.
In the past he talked about having two orbs of energy bouncing on his shoulders containing the souls of his dead parents.
And he spoke about how he got his life under control using cosmic ordering, after asking the planets for help.
His latest alternative take on life involves electro-magnetism and how we're messing up the world with all the electricity, phone signals and Wi-Fi wafting around our ears.
Positive thinking: Noel Edmonds
In an extraordinary interview, the 66-year-old puts many of the planet's woes down to an electro-magnetic imbalance around us.
"Everything is about energy," says the former king of Saturday night TV.
"We're surrounded by electro mist, fog and smog. We're covering ourselves in the wrong sorts of electro-magnetism.
"These idiot politicians who talk about climate change, for goodness sake, do they really think little us can do anything about it? No, of course not.
Boxing clever: Edmonds with Derren Brown on the set of Deal or no Deal
"The biggest problem we have is not Ebola, it's not Aids, it's electro smog.
"The Wi-Fi and all of the systems that we are introducing into our lives are destroying our own natural electro-magnetic fields. All you are is energy, remember that."
The TV star is so concerned, he has splashed out £2,000 on a gadget based on research by NASA to fix the problem.
"There is a device called an EMPpad and I use it eight minutes a day – it has changed my life," says Noel.
"It recalibrates all the blood cells and readjusts the electro-magnetism in your body. Think of a yoga mat, connected to a computer – it provides you with pulsed electro-magnetism.
"It's a brilliant technology, it is not cheap, it costs £2,000. It removes pain and reduces stress and people tell me I don't look 66."
Noel is giving a rare interview to promote his new online radio service – called Positively Happy – which he says will help people with insomnia and assist others to remain upbeat.
Happiness and positivity fascinate him and he is planning to publish a book next year on the subject, which even goes so far as explaining death.
Noel says: "A lot of the mind, body and spirit brigade think you can think your way to being positive, you can't. It is an important element but if you are physically in a negative energy situation you cannot possibly be healthy.
"If you want to be happy you need to think of yourself as a container of energy. There is a universal energy, yes of course, it embraces us.
"When you appreciate this, life becomes a lot more exciting. You don't live life, life lives you. There isn't such a thing as death, it's just departure. You cannot die. It's been known for a very long time.
"The energy leaves your container but it has to go somewhere. You cannot destroy energy. My energy will return to where it came from – part of a massive, incomprehensible universal web of energy."

Noel, whose long career has included hosting hit shows such as Telly Addicts, Noel's House Party, and Swap Shop, has a home near Bristol where he lives with his third wife, Deal or No Deal make-up artist Liz Davies, who is 20 years his junior.
Previously, he was married to Gillian Slater for a decade and then between 1986 and 2004 he was married to Helen Soby, the mother of his four daughters.
Today he's talking from his home in France, where he is taking a break.
Having seen what the TV industry can do to people he is concerned about one of his successors as host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, Chris Evans.
He's worried that by hosting Top Gear – despite telling Noel he wouldn't be following in Jeremy Clarkson's footsteps – Chris is spreading himself too thinly.
Badly handled: Chris Evans is replacing Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear (Image: Empics)
Noel says: "It's interesting. I was a guest on Chris's boat at the Monaco Grand Prix and we had a chat. Chris said he wouldn't touch Top Gear with a barge pole.
"He said how tired he was, and he did look tired. And so I was stunned when within weeks he not only had shown interest but accepted the job.
"I just hope he's not taking on too much. He's a brilliant talent.
"He's also a mercurial talent in a Kenny Everett and Clarkson mould.
"He will need to be managed and supported otherwise he could just burn out and make some shocking mistake.
"I hope it works out for him. I'm a big fan of his."
Despite having talked about buying the BBC – something he would still like to do – the multi-millionaire is a critic of the corporation.
He thinks it is still too bloated and needs to be cut down or risks being "crushed by Apple", suggesting two radio stations is enough.
And he believes the way Clarkson was treated during the Top Gear saga was a complete fiasco.
"It was just yet another example of extraordinarily bad management that wouldn't be tolerated in a private company," says Noel.
"It is difficult to think of a better way of handling something more badly.
"You've got the big wigs saying no one is bigger than the BBC and they pull the show, denying the viewers the chance to see whatever they'd shot.
"Then they cobbled it together into a final episode that didn't really work as it didn't have the elements people love.
"The good news for Top Gear fans, of which I am one, is now we'll have two shows in place of one. But as management, it was right up there with running a cruise liner on to a heap of rocks."
Early days: With Keith Chegwin on Swap Shop
Noel, born in Ilford, North East London, began his broadcasting career on Radio Luxembourg in the late-60s.
He soon moved to Radio 1 and had his own show by 1970.
Noel presented the flagship Breakfast Show between 1973 and 1978. As well as hosting Top of the Pops on TV, he starred in kids' show Swap Shop on BBC1 in the 70s and early 80s.
And he became one of the Beeb's biggest names as he presented prime-time Saturday night shows throughout the 80s and 90s.
But some will never forgive him for creating the pink and yellow disaster zone that was his sidekick Mr Blobby.
Noel has been on Deal or No Deal for almost a decade, but his next contract with Ch4 is yet to be negotiated.
He admits: "I have no idea about its future. But we have now done 10 years and will have our anniversary show in October."
Party time: With Mr Blobby
The channel has enough episodes to last until next summer, so there is still plenty of time for bosses to offer a new deal.
And they'd be stupid to ignore a TV legend who the current generation are still borrowing ideas from (according to the legend himself).
"I'm a big fan of Ant and Dec, I think they're excellent presenters."
He adds: "They've been honest, they've plundered the House Party archive and created Takeaway. I don't have a problem with that, I take it as a compliment.
"When I look at some of things I used to do with the BBC and currently at C4, I'm pretty comfortable with the space that I've occupied. I have been very fortunate and worked with good people."
Wigging out: Noel does a Celebrity Big Brother skit on the Friday Night Project in 2007
For Noel, his success is all about balance and that positivity.
On the other hand, evil acts will bring about bad karma and negative energy – just like that being experienced by US dentist Walter Palmer, who recently killed Cecil the lion.
Noel says: "I regard that as a massive negative. The individual concerned has to have a look at his negativity system.
"He's probably very happy destroying life, many others are happy shooting grouse or others snort cocaine and it makes them happy.
"But don't forget in the UK every single week children are killed by their parents or carers – let's have a sense of priority.
"People who do these things have an imbalance in their energy system. Positivity can be measured scientifically.
"The man who shot the lion, this is not a threat, this is science, will have karma.
"Something is going to happen to that guy because what he did was so utterly negative. The energy he poured out left such a big gap, negative energy will pour into him.
"Every single human being can achieve a perfect vibrational balance between their positive and negative energy. I believe it is possible to retune people."

but you doubt all the positive qualities that you have.
You don't doubt your incapabilities.
This weekend was a struggle. I am resenting my pride that squirms and resists admitting this, but I am feeling fully human and frustratingly inadequate. Every volunteer and every Peace Corps staff member has said the roller coaster is typical- to be expected- with highs and lows often happening in the same day. Yes, I have already experienced this multiple times in the past three weeks. This is part of the journey and is what tests our mettle. And, yeah, part of my being here IS to test my mettle…some days though I wish my test had cliff notes. I know these feelings will pass and that I can help this process by practicing gratitude because, no matter what, I have MUCH for which to be grateful; afterall I AM here making a dream come true, here to help others and to learn from them, I have the support and love of a wonderful family and tribe of friends, I am healthy; I need to stop doubting my capabilities.
I find these emotions particularly disappointing after sharing several wonderful days earlier this week with a fantastic volunteer currently working in a tiny pueblo in the Department of Cordillera. The intent of the visit was to help me understand and participate in the real life of a Peace Corps volunteer. The Monday morning, 3-hour bus ride was more nerve-wracking than any race-day morning butterflies back home. All my Spanish vocabulary seemed to evaporate out of my head the instant I needed to ask if the bus driver was going where I needed. I hoped I would not find myself in Argentina at day's end! But I arrived safely and without incident, passing beautiful scenery and an ostrich farm en route. Score one for me.
My volunteer, Emily, lives among some 200 homes spread over a few square miles, in a tiny one-room, thatched-roof cottage with a single light bulb, cement floor, no bathroom and an outdoor shower stall by which she can 'bucket bathe.' She draws her water from the nearby well, one small pail at a time.
Together we visited the local school (with a total of 20 children, grades K-6) and made beet and carrot juice so the kids could see the 'fruits' of their labor using veggies from the school garden they created with Emily. L ater, she and Itrekked a half-hour to work in her kokue (ko-KWAY), a field where she has a demo garden and experiments with various crops to see what new techniques or crop combinations might increase yields and income for farmers in her community. One of Emily's students, 11-year old Gloria, took a shine to me and joined me on a long evening stroll down a red dirt road lined with eucalyptus trees, watching the sun set behind a pasture of race horses, and teaching each other words in our native language. Kids are wonderfully patient teachers (but don't hesitate to laugh at you either). The night that followed produced a fantastic storm of torrential rain, thunder and the most fabulous heavenly show I've ever witnessed: more than 2 hours of non-stop lightning that colored the entire sky and threw eerie shadows in every direction.
On my final day, we visited with some neighbors and drank terere, talking of everything and nothing. I sat in awe as my fellow volunteer and a friend practiced their guarani and spoke, laughed and cajoled effortlessly in Spanish. I felt like a child, focusing fiercely on every syllable and watching my companions converse animatedly but still unable to comprehend the bulk of the conversations, much less contribute to them. However, my redeeming moment came when the husband patted me on the shoulder and told me I was mucho Guapa, more Paraguayan than my fellow volunteers, because I listen and watch …like a typical shy Paraguayan. I beamed. And I vowed to remind myself to check my perspective…frequently. (And remind myself I've only been here 3 weeks. Tranquilo!) Eventually we toured one of their kokues where they grew pineapples, bananas, watermelon, peanuts, beans, guava and papaya trees, mandioca (yucca root) and much more. We wrapped up the day by attending a rezo, a multi-day religious tribute, in honor of a neighbor who died unexpectedly from a heart attack. This country is largely and fiercely Catholic and one is hard-pressed to not see signs of devotion everywhere, including mini chapels fit for dolls along ditches to memorialize accident victims. Unfortunately, these are numerous.
I knew I was making progress this week when realizing I was taking notes in Spanish instead of English! A good sign indeed. Score two for me.
Another first was attending with my family a 'Quince Año', the traditional birthday bash, like a Sweet 16, given to girls turning 15. In Paraguay, a girl becomes a woman at age 15. Boys don't get this credit until age 18. This was not your average birthday party but rather a gala that rivaled the best weddings. And I got to dance! Not tango but it still felt great to get my boogie on nonetheless. The 1 am ride home proved quite harrowing in yet another torrential downpour, our only saving grace being the tiny reflective flaps fastened to the center and fog lines. Otherwise visibility was zero as there are no street lights outside large towns and significant intersections. Just when I thought it couldn't rain harder, it did. And again and again. I learned that October and November is the 'rainy season' here. We definitely needed it, as the country has suffered from drought all year.
I am closing this segment with some random but interesting observations: Did you know KISS and Lady Gaga are performing in Paraguay in the coming weeks? Did you know that Tuesday's official forecast calls for 'tons of rain'? Did you know that Coca Cola so strongly dominates the Paraguayan soda market that many locals think Coke is a Paraguayan company? Did you know that most trucks larger than a pick up are Mercedes though it's rare to find a Mercedes car outside the larger cities and universities? Did you know you can find popular US brands here like Huggies, Colgate, and Proctor & Gamble (and even McDonald's in Asuncion)? Did you know that gasoline is sold here by the liter and costs the equivalent of $4-7 US dollars per gallon? (Yes, we are on the metric system here and it's very fun to talk in kilometers, meters, kilograms, liters, degrees Celsius, etc) Did you know that cell phones are so popular here that only 25% of Paraguayans still use a landline? (though fortunately the smartphones are not as common as in the US, nor is the sight of seeing a table of people all staring down at their smartphones instead of talking to each other). Did you know that Paraguayan time is currently one hour ahead of the US East Coast until US Daylight Savings in a couple weeks?
Enjoy your week. Tell your family and friends how much you appreciate them. Be grateful for the abundance in your life. Make every moment count.

Ali Akbar Velayati, the longtime foreign policy advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is likely to run for Iran's presidency next year, and if elected would take a more pragmatic stance to ease soaring tensions with the West that have isolated Iran and hurt its economy, a former Iranian diplomat told Al Monitor.
The former diplomat and academic, who plans to advise Velayati, a longtime family friend, if he does run, asked not to be named in a piece. He spoke to Al Monitor in an interview Friday, as Iranians were trying to analyze press reports showing the United States increasing its muscular rhetoric in an effort to stave off any possible Israeli unilateral strike against Iran. Iran does not fear an Israeli attack, the former diplomat said, but does feel the impact of economic sanctions and takes the prospect of possible future US military action more seriously.
The former diplomat expressed optimism that Iran would reach a negotiated solution with the West over its nuclear program by June of next year, when Iranian presidential elections are due to be held. He also said the Iranian foreign ministry may take a larger role in handling Iran's negotiations with the P5+1 over its nuclear program in the future.
Iran's leadership "believes Obama will win" reelection, the former diplomat said. Iran's leadership "are rational, and calculate how to deal with the US," he said. Key factions of Iran's elite are looking for more effective stewardship of Iran's international relations.
Velayati, who studied pediatric medicine at John Hopkins University in the 1970s, served as Iran's foreign minister from 1981-1997, under then President Khamenei and Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. From Iran's conservative "right-wing," Velayati's prospective 2013 presidential candidacy has the support of Rafsanjani and some reformists, and would be acceptable to the Supreme Leader, who does not back a candidate per se, the former diplomat said.
At a news conference late last month, Velayati said Iran would pursue negotiations with the P5+1 until they reach "positive and constructive" results, Iranian news media reported. "The Islamic Republic of Iran should be allowed to use peaceful nuclear energy and such a right should be recognized by negotiators of the P5+1," Velayati said July 27th, Press TV reported.
Velayati, who also holds the title of secretary general of the Islamic Awakening conference, last month denounced western interference in Syria.

Roberto Borge Angulo (San Miguel de Cozumel, Quintana Roo, 29 de diciembre de 1979) es un ex político mexicano, ex-miembro del Partido Revolucionario Institucional, que ha sido diputado federal y fue el séptimo gobernador constitucional de Quintana Roo para el periodo de 2011 a 2016. Es sobrino del  exgobernador de Quintana Roo Miguel Borge Martín (1987-1993) y de Kamel Nacif Borge.

El 31 de mayo de 2017 un juez del Estado de México le giró una orden de aprehensión. El 4 de junio de 2017 fue detenido en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Tocumén, en Panamá. Desde el 4 de enero de 2018 fue extraditado a México donde permanece detenido.

Vida familiar
Borge proviene de una familia de antecedentes políticos, siendo sobrino de Miguel Borge Martín, gobernador de Quintana Roo de 1987 a 1993. Reportes de prensa indican su presunta participación en manejos irregulares de fondos públicos en su gestión a través de rentas de aeronaves con costos millonarios y por ser presunto dueño de propiedades con costos superiores a un millón de dólares. Organizaciones de la sociedad civil han pedido juicio político al exfuncionario público.

Trayectoria política
Realizó sus estudios básicos en Cozumel, y la preparatoria y carrera universitaria en el Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, de donde egresó como licenciado en Administración de Empresas. Inició su carrera política como jefe de relaciones públicas de la Secretaría de Desarrollo Económico del gobierno del estado de 2002 a 2003, en este año se convirtió en secretario privado de Félix González Canto como diputado federal y luego en 2005 en su secretario particular como gobernador electo; al asumir como gobernador de Quintana Roo, González Canto lo designó primero tesorero general del estado y luego oficial mayor de gobierno, renunciando a este cargo para ser presidente estatal del PRI en Quintana Roo. Fue presidente de Comité Directivo Estatal del PRI Quintana Roo del 2008 al 2009.

Diputado federal (2009-2011)
En 2009 fue elegido por el I Distrito Electoral Federal de Quintana Roo, resultado electo a la LXI Legislatura cuyo periodo culminaría en 2012. Durante su periodo como diputado fue secretario de la Comisión de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales de la Cámara de Diputados.

Gobernador del Estado de Quintana Roo (2011-2016)
Fue señalado como uno de los principales contendientes por la candidatura del PRI a la gubernatura de Quintana Roo, sin embargo, el 24 de marzo de 2010 solicitó y obtuvo licencia como diputado federal, y el día 26 fue postulado como candidato de unidad a la gubernatura.

Resultó elegido en el proceso electoral del 4 de julio y recibió la constancia de mayoría y nombramiento como gobernador electo el 11 de julio. Asumió la gubernatura el 5 de abril de 2011.

En julio de 2016 el Servicio de Administración Tributaria investigaba las finanzas públicas del estado.

Turismo
El turismo en Quintana Roo ha incrementado debido a la promoción en el último año en los mercados internacionales y nacionales. Con más de 86 mil cuartos de hotel, el estado de Quintana Roo se ha colocado como líder de esta industria en México; en los tres últimos años su ocupación hotelera en tiempos de baja en turismo es del 70 por ciento, pero del resto se mantiene en 85 por ciento, pero en temporadas altas siempre está al 100 por ciento

Con la llegada del Tianguis Turístico número 39 al estado, con un total de 737 empresas compradoras cuando solo se esperaban 674, un total de 59 países algunas de las naciones participantes se encuentran Nigeria, Togo, Trinidad y Tobago, Eslovenia, Rumania, Islandia y Vietnam. En este sexenio Quintana Roo ha sido incluido en el paquete de inversiones turistcas privadas un con un monto global de por 8 mil 631 millones de dólares. Estos se invertirán en 176 proyectos en 17 entidades del país.

Red de Planetarios de Quintana Roo

Caso Tajamar
El gobierno de Borge inició con las obras en el Manglar Tajamar, a pesar de que desde 2015 diversas organizaciones civiles denunciaron el inicio de los trabajos de desmonte del manglar de Tajamar para llevar a cabo el proyecto Malecón Tajamar. La Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Medio Ambiente (Profepa) había dictado una suspensión de actividades del proyecto.En enero de 2016 Greenpeace denunció que "respaldados por elementos de la policía municipal y federal, más de 70 camiones de volteo, excavadoras y pipas de agua entraron a las 2 de la madrugada a Tajamar. Policía antimotines cercó la zona con vallas y la resguardaron por un poco más de 24 horas, hasta que terminaran de devastar toda la zona"

Clonación de ejemplares de Luces del Siglo
A mediados del 2014, varios números del semanario estatal Luces del Siglo fueron clonados en sus versiones digital y física. De acuerdo con la organización Artículo 19, ejemplares falsos de la revista fueron repartidos a los asistentes a la presentación del tercer Informe de Gobierno de Roberto Borge. Los ejemplares clonados se caracterizaban por elogiar las acciones del mandatario quintanarroense, a pesar de que el semanario mantiene hasta la fecha una línea editorial crítica frente a los actos del gobernador. De acuerdo con el sitio Aristegui Noticias, un juez de Distrito de Quinatana Roo otorgó una suspensión provisional de amparo al semanario local que obliga al gobernador "de abstenerse de elaborar y difundir las portadas y ejemplares falsos", aunque esta práctica no se detuvo.

Congreso del Estado, Legislaturas XIII y XIV
Inició su primer periodo con un congreso dividido, pero en 2013 retoma el control del congreso en la XIV Legislatura de mayoría Priista.

Ley Anti Marchas
A principios del 2014 se destaca la creación durante su gobierno (después de los conflictos magisteriales de ese mismo año) de la Ley de Ordenamiento Social, conocida también como 'Ley Anti Marchas' impulsada por el Dip. Juan Luis Carrillo Soberanis. Esto causa un gran descontento entre la población, ya que una de las principales características de esta ley es que permite la utilización de la fuerza pública para disolver movilizaciones. La iniciativa de ley fue apoyada en el congreso del estado de Quintana Roo por los diputados de su partido, el PRI.

Quintana Roo, se convierte en la primera entidad del territorio mexicano en regular las protestas sociales "Queda prohibido llevar a cabo bloqueos en la vía pública. La administración pública, en el ámbito de sus respectivas competencias, garantizará el ejercicio pleno de los derechos fundamentales de los habitantes de Quintana Roo". La Ley de Ordenamiento Cívico considera entre sus infracciones realizar actos que de manera ilícita afecten el normal funcionamiento de las acciones del Estado, los municipios, la actividad económica, turística y social política de la entidad.

Paquete de impunidad, Ley Borge
Con el Congreso de Quintana Roo controlado, en las últimas tres semanas de gobierno,Roberto Borge Angulo, con la ayuda de la XIV Legislatura creó el Tribunal de Justicia Administrativa por un periodo de 7 años, Nominado a tres magistrados Minerva Maribel Moreno Cruz, César Cervera Paniagua  y Jorge Herrera Aguilar que entre sus facultades atender controversias o irregularidades de la administración pública estatal y municipal, así como imponer, en los términos que disponga la ley, sanciones a servidores públicos estatales y municipales e, incluso, a particulares que incurran en actos vinculados con faltas administrativas graves.

El Congreso creó de la Fiscalía General, en sustitución de la Procuraduría de Justicia, nombrando como titular Carlos Arturo Álvarez Escalera amigo Roberto Borge y no podría ser removido durante los siguientes siete años

El Auditor superior del estado fue nombrado Javier Zetina González amigo de Borge primo del exgobernador Félix González Canto

En el Tribunal de Justicia del Estado fuero otorgados los nombramientos de Felipe de Jesús Magaña Solís y Carlos Alejandro Lima Carvajal como magistrados numerarios, y también a Ángel Ysidro Quintal Quintal, como magistrado supernumerario.

Poder Judicial del Estado

Anulación de dos matrimonios homosexuales
De acuerdo con información de la revista Proceso, el colectivo Diversidad Sexual en Quintana Roo acusó en el 2012 al gobernador Roberto Borge de discriminación y homofobia por haber anulado dos bodas entre personas del mismo sexo. Después de dos intentos fallidos por obtener la licencia de matrimonio, Sergio Arturo Monje Cruz y Manuel Reyes Chalé de la Fuente, y María Patricia Novelo Infante y Arely Castro García de Alba pudieron formalizar su relación ante el Estado debido a una grieta legal en el Código Civil local. Sin embargo, el gobernador se deslindó de la anulación al argumentar que una ciudadana fue quien la solicitó, lo que podría ser un buen ejemplo de parcialidad política.

Controversias
Al final de su mandato Roberto Borge ha sido señalado por medios de comunicación por presuntos manejos irregulares en las finanzas públicas. La propia comisión de transición del actual gobernador del estado investigaba aun siendo gobernador Borge presuntos desvíos por 2 mil millones de pesos y acusó que el estado se encontraba en quiebra financiera. En agosto de 2016 fue demandado el juicio político a su persona por parte de la organización Somos tus ojos, transparencia por Quintana Roo por la presunta venta de 44 predios pertenecientes al gobierno del estado que probablemente habrían sido vendidos a precios menores de su valor habitual. Esa misma organización habría pedido al final de la gestión de Borge a la fiscalía mexicana vigilarlo para impedir que abandone México.

A finales de septiembre de 2016 una comisión del Congreso del estado habría pedido auditorías por el uso que presuntamente Borge habría dado al uso de recursos públicos por la renta de dos aviones y un helicóptero a la empresa Vip Saesa por un costo total de 51 millones 281 mil 250 dólares. Los dueños de esta empresa estarían relacionados con diversos proyectos asignados por la Secretaría de Infraestructura del Gobierno del Estado de Quintana Roo durante la gestión de Roberto Borge. También a finales de septiembre de 2016 el noticiario de Televisa 10 en punto reveló que Borge es dueño de distintas propiedades con costos millonarios.

En 2016 la revista Expansión junto con Mexicanos contra la corrupción y la impunidad publicó la investigación "Los Piratas de Borge", donde denuncian una maquinaria institucional compuesta por funcionarios públicos y notarios auspiciados por el gobernador Roberto Borge que arrebataba el patrimonio a empresas y particulares.

Proceso judicial en su contra
El 3 de junio de 2017 le fue girada una orden de aprehensión acusado de lavado de dinero. También el Gobierno de Quintana Roo a través de la Fiscalía del Estado abrió investigaciones contra excolaboradores y amigos son señalados como cómplices: Mauricio Góngora Escalante, Juan Pablo Guillermo Molina José Alberto Alonso Ovando, Patricio de la Peña Ruiz de Chávez, Gabriel Mendicuti Loría, Mauricio Rodríguez Marrufo, Paulina García Achah, Fernando Escamilla Carrillo, Carlos Acosta Gutiérrez,  Eduardo Román Quian Alcocer, Luis Alberto González Flores, Roosevelt Ercé Barrón Barrera, Gonzalo Abelardo Herrera Castilla, Víctor Hugo Loyola Corona.

Borge fue detenido en Panamá a punto de abordar un avión hacia París, Francia el 4 de junio de 2017 Fue extraditado a México el 6 de enero de 2018 desde Panamá por el tratado que México tiene con ese país después de siete meses detenido.

60 female artists and innovators announced for "Keychange"
Keychange, a collaborative European programme led by PRS Foundation which aims to empower women to transform the music industry, is proud to announce 60 female artists and innovators for a groundbreaking programme spanning two years. Announced today at Hamburg's Reeperbahn Festival, the successful participants will take part in a series of showcases, discussions, collaborations and a programme of creative labs at seven international festivals. Backed by an innovation fund to help test new projects and ideas, Keychange will culminate with a final event in Brussels at the European Parliament in 2019, at which Keychange partners will present a manifesto for change.
Estonian artists are represented by the 10-strong squad of post-romantic unit HUNT, turbulent jazz/neoclassical explorers Kirke Karja Quartet, zither-wielding folk stylist Mari Kalkun, singer-songwriter Grete Paia and young rap duo HOAX, in addition to a host of industry professionals from artist managers to music journalists – Liisi Voolaid, Thea Lillepalu, Merli Antsmaa, Natalie Mets and Silvia Urgas will all have the opportunity to forge new collaborations that will push the future development of the music industry and position women at the forefront of innovation.
Reeperbahn Festival saw a hugely successful Keychange panel Chaired by PRS Foundation CEO Vanessa Reed with appearances from Garbage's Shirley Manson, Reeperbahn Festival director Alex Schultz and emerging UK rock artist Nadine Shah. Exploring how to empower those who are underrepresented and how men and women can work together to accelerate change, the panel set the standard for empowering women to transform the music industry before today's official announcement of Keychange's successful participants which included endorsements from Reeperbahn Festival's Keychange Ambassadors Alexa Fraser and Emily Haines.
Ten participants from six European countries – Sweden, Spain, Iceland, Germany, Estonia and the UK- will form a 60 strong network of female artists and innovators who will have opportunities to showcase and work together at leading industry festivals in Europe and in Canada.
On Keychange's successful participants, Vanessa Reed, Chief Executive of PRS Foundation said "Selecting the 60 participants from over 200 nominations was a really tough process for our partner festivals and we were extremely impressed by the diversity and quality of all the women who applied. The final list demonstrates the exceptional talent of the next generation of female artists and innovators and makes for a very exciting European network. I'm convinced that together these women will be a creative and entrepreneurial force to reckon with in the future."
Keychange aims to accelerate change and create a better, more inclusive music industry for present and future generations. Keychange is led by PRS Foundation and is supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and in partnership with Reeperbahn Festival (Hamburg), Iceland Airwaves, BIME (Bilbao), Tallinn Music Week, Way Out West & Musikcentrum Sweden, The Great Escape and Mutek (Montreal).
Successfully securing €200,000 from the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, having scored 96/100 in its bid to run a European talent development programme, the long term goal of Keychange is to ultimately transform Europe's music industry for current and future generations. Keychange will accelerate recognition of women's artistic and economic value and empower them to work together across European and international borders.

US Airways-American merger could affect local flights
DUSTY RICKETTS / Daily News
Tuesday�s anti-trust settlement to allow the merger of American Airlines and US Airways to proceed eventually could have repercussions at Northwest Florida Regional Airport, but those impacts likely are years off.
Okaloosa County Airports Director Sunil Harman said it is too early to know what lasting impact the merger will have on local flights. In recent large airline mergers such as Continental and United, it has taken more than two years for all of the details to be finalized.
�If we can retain the status quo, I�ll be satisfied,� Harman said. �If the number and frequency that we have today to Charlotte and the number and frequency we have today to Dallas-Fort Worth would be preserved, that would be sufficient (for me) to be happy and satisfied, because it adequately serves our market today.
�Typically, they don�t communicate with a small regional airport like us,� he added. �They might talk to a hub, like a Dallas-Fort Worth, or a Charlotte or a Miami, which are going to have profound implications. Small regional folks like us, they won�t even provide us any information.�
American Eagle offers direct flights between Northwest Florida Regional and Dallas-Fort Worth. US Airways offers direct flights to Washington, D.C., and Charlotte, N.C.
Although US Airways, the smaller of the two airlines, is leading the merger, it intends to keep the American name and brand. The new American Airlines will be the largest airline in the United States.
Harman said his main concern at this time is the impact the merger could have on US Airways� direct flights between Northwest Florida Regional and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Forbes reported Tuesday that US Airways and American have agreed to sell 134 takeoff and landing slots at Reagan.
�I�m concerned about DCA (Reagan) more than anything, but it�s bigger than that,� Harman said. �Obviously, you have fewer airlines in the marketplace and how people can say that�s better for the consumer and better for the smaller cities with a straight face is just beguiling. It just bewilders me.�

In xanthinium nitrate hydrate [systematic name: 2,6‐dioxo‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐9H‐purin‐7‐ium nitrate monohydrate], C5H5N4O2 +·NO3 −·H2O, (I), and xanthinium hydrogen sulfate hydrate [systematic name: 2,6‐dioxo‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐9H‐purin‐7‐ium hydrogen sulfate monohydrate], C5H5N4O2 +·HSO4 −·H2O, (II), the xanthine molecules are protonated at the imine N atom with the transfer of an H atom from the inorganic acid. The asymmetric unit of (I) contains a xanthinium cation, a nitrate anion and one water molecule, while that of (II) contains two crystallographically independent xanthinium cations, two hydrogen sulfate anions and two water molecules. A pseudo‐quadruple hydrogen‐bonding motif is formed between the xanthinium cations and the water molecules via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds in both structures, and leads to the formation of one‐dimensional polymeric tapes. These cation–water tapes are further connected by the respective anions and aggregate into two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded sheets in (I) and three‐dimensional arrangements in (II).

Q: C - using getrusage for children user and kernel time I have this programming assignment in which I need to use the getrusage to find 'what the children is doing', as my professor said. I used the RUSAGE_CHILDREN mode of the getrusage function inside the 'default' section of the switch(fork()). I simply need to take the kernel and user time.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {

    char **cmd;
    int i = 1;
    pid_t child_pid;
    struct rusage child_ru;

    if (argc == 1){

        perror("No command inserted!\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

    } else if(argc == 50){

        perror("No command inserted!\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

    }

    cmd = (char **) malloc( (argc) * sizeof(char *));
    cmd[0] = (char *) malloc( strlen(argv[1] + 1 ) * sizeof(char) );
    strcpy(cmd[0], argv[1]);

    if (argc > 2){

        for (i = 1 ; i < argc - 1  ; i++ ){

            cmd[i] = (char *) malloc( strlen(argv[i+1] + 1 ) * sizeof(char) );
            strcpy(cmd[i], argv[i+1]);

        }

    }

    cmd[i] = NULL;

    switch (child_pid = fork()) {
        case -1:
            perror("Error in fork()!\n");
            break;

        case 0:
            execvp(cmd[0], cmd);

            perror("Failed Execution or not existing command!!\n");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

        default:
            printf("Command PID: %ld", (long)child_pid);
            if(wait(NULL) ==-1)
                perror("Error in wait()\n");

            if (getrusage(RUSAGE_CHILDREN, &child_ru) == -1)
                perror("Error in getrusage()\n");

            printf("\n");
            printf("CPU time: %lld.%lld sec\n", (long long)child_ru.ru_utime.tv_sec,(long long)child_ru.ru_utime.tv_usec);
            printf("Kernel time: %lld.%lld sec\n", (long long)child_ru.ru_stime.tv_sec, (long long)child_ru.ru_stime.tv_usec);
            break;

    }

    return 0;
}

This is my program. I always get the time of the kernel smaller than the time of the user, even for I/O command, so I think there's an error somewhere, but I don't know where it is, is my first time using getrusage.

There is a tendency to look at the narrative that appears in this first portion of the Torah as being a description of the past – the story of the beginnings of creation, the planet and universe and of the story of civilization. However, we are taught in the traditions of Judaism that the Lord, so to speak, creates our universe and world anew each day.
Thus, the narrative contained in this week's beginning portion of the Torah is not only a story of the past, but it is just as importantly a description of our present world and society. We should not be surprised to find that human rivalries and disagreements often lead to murder and then to deep regret. The animalistic nature of humans leads them to sin and depravity.
The intellectual freedom and curiosity built into us by the fruit of the tree of wisdom leads to experimentation with strange ideas and to idolatry. As the population of the world increases, so does technology and ordered society. But deep within the original generations of humans lies a persistent and debilitating unhappiness.
Humans are not satisfied because they have been driven out of paradise and find their way back there only to be barred by heavenly forces beyond their control. They search for all sorts of detours and untraveled roads to return to where their soul wishes to lead them. And this has been the history of human civilization from its onset until today.
There is much that we today in our current so-called modern world can learn from this narrative as presented in this first portion of the Torah. We can learn that murder and violence really provide no solution to any of the problems that beset human beings. We can learn that false ideologies and man-made gods are of little value and in fact are quite counterproductive to human welfare, as the long run of civilized history makes abundantly clear.
We can learn that following our animalistic instincts only brings us farther away from where our soul longs to be, to our home and comfort zone. We can learn that temptations will always exist and that we are in one way or another doomed to fall and make mistakes. We can also learn that through our actions and ideologies, weaknesses and sins, we are capable of destroying our world and bringing on untold tragedy and despair.
But we can also learn that we have enormous qualities of greatness built within us and that we alone are able to conduct conversations with our Creator and are equipped to rise above the physical and intellectual challenges that surround us.
More importantly, we can learn that these fateful choices are given to us and, to a great extent, are the masters of our destiny and the shapers of our current world and future generations. This first portion of the Torah stands not only as the beginning of the holy words of God but also as representative of the entire story of human kind for all time.

Title: Italy or NOT whatever works
Date: 2016-08-28
Comments: true
Type: "post"

Italy is an excellent country to visit.
This time it was a short trip in the Northen Italy including Venice, Bologna, Imola and San-Marino.
Everything is great about this country, except a few things.

<!--more-->

I really enjoy italian cuisine. Usually it is very simple, fresh and maybe even healthy
if you eat it with moderation (I don't think pizza every day would be good for you).
But the great cusine always come with strict eating rules.

When my italian friend invited everyone for the breakfast I definetly could not imagine
going to a coffee bar or a pasticceria bar (cake shop). But it turns out that in Italy
for the breakfast you usually drink an espresso or cappuccino and optionally you can get a brioche or another sweet thing.
If you are not in the place with lots of tourists it would be very hard to get a burger for the breakfast.

The next shocking event happened during the lunch. It was probably equally shocking for both locals and us.
Try to order cappuccino after your lunch. You might even get it, but people around would not approve it.
Apparently you allowed to drink cappuccino only for breakfast. After the lunch you can get either espresso or
espresso macchiato (which is just a small cappuccino if you ask me).

As a russian I like to have a hot drink with my dessert. But Italians have another eating rule which does not allow me to do it.
No coffee or tea with dessert, only after.

After dinner we had some pizza left and got a box to go for it. I can eat cold pizza even for a breakfast.
The italian friend said that he would not eat it the next day because it would not be fresh enough.

Of course you can break all these rules as a tourist. But if you ever consider to live in Italy then
you better learn how to eat.

Since I live in the Netherlands I always compare different countries against it.
Some people might say that cuisine in the Netherlands is almost non-existent.
But at least here you have no rules: you can eat what you like and when you like.
Try to find a place to eat in Italy between 4pm and 7pm.

What's Your Favorite Inexpensive Digital Camera?
Thread: What's Your Favorite Inexpensive Digital Camera?
I'm working on an inexpensive digital camera guide. I'm looking at current cameras that sell for under US $200. I started with a list of about 40 and I've got it down to 20 now. To make sure I don't miss anything, does anyone here have any cheap point-and-shoot camera recommendations? Remember, any recommendations need to be current cameras. If they're not available new, from trustworthy camera dealers, I won't include them in the guide.

BEREA, Ohio -- Sophomore All-Ohio Athletic Conference guard Cam Kuhn (Vermilion) scored 22 points as the Baldwin Wallace University men's basketball team beat visiting Heidelberg University, 80-76, in an OAC game in the Rudolph Ursprung Gymnasium in the Lou Higgins Center.
In addition to Kuhn, for BW (9-5, 4-3 OAC), sophomore forward Jake Fetherolf (Norwalk) had 10 points and seven rebounds and sophomore forward Mike Kaminski (Medina) scored nine points and had a game and career-high 11 rebounds. Heidelberg, (8-6, 3-4 OAC) was led by sophomore guard Kiere' Bennie with 21 points and junior guard DeAvery Collins had 20.
In the first half, BW jumped out to an early, 9-4 lead at 18:18 when Kaminski made a three-pointer. The lead grew to a high of nine points at 19-10 at 12:17 when Kuhn canned a triple.
The Student Princes came back to outscore the Yellow Jackets 18-8 to take the lead at 28-27 at 5:19 when sophomore guard Chris Moxley made a layup. Five lead changes later, BW retook the lead at 34-33 when Kuhn made a layup. BW also led at halftime, 35-33.
In the second half, BW scored the first seven points and regained its nine-point lead at 42-33 at 17:39 when Kuhn nailed a trey. After the Student Princes cut the BW lead to four on two occasions, including 47-43 at 14:03, the Jackets went on a 8-2 run to build their first double-digit advantage at 55-45 at 11:38 when senior Academic All-OAC guard Zach Warner (Clyde) made a three.
The BW lead increased to 14 at 61-47 at 10:25 when freshman guard Michael Peters (Cuyahoga Falls/ CVCA) converted a three-point play. Heidelberg came right back to outscore BW 12-1 and cut the Yellow Jacket lead to 62-59 at 6:04. Back-to-back baskets by Kuhn and Fetherolf pushed the lead to 66-59 at 3:13.
The Student Princes were within two at 73-71 at 44.5 seconds left before Kuhn canned a pair of foul shots to make it 75-71 at 35.6 seconds. A Bennie basket made it 75-73 at 28.9 seconds. Kaminski made a layup to make it 77-73 at 13.7 seconds but Bennie canned a triple to bring Heidelberg within 77-76 with 7.6 seconds left.
Fetherolf made one of two foul shots at 6.7 seconds, and when Heidelberg threw the ball away, Kaminski was fouled with 2.9 seconds left and canned both charity tosses to "ice" the game for the Yellow Jackets.
BW is back in action on Saturday, January 20 when it travels to Ada to play OAC rival Ohio Northern University in the ONU Sports Center at 3 p.m. The next home game is on Wednesday, Jan. 20 versus OAC and Cleveland cross-town rival John Carroll University in the Rudolph Ursprung Gymnasium in the Lou Higgins Center at 7:30 p.m.

Former Norwich, Blackburn and Celtic striker, Chris Sutton, has said that Liverpool's Roberto Firmino has to "step up" and if The Reds are to be successful in this season's Premier League title race.
The Brazilian international has 11 goals and five assists in his 30 Premier League appearances so far this season. However, Liverpool's number 9 has often been deployed in a slightly deeper role by Klopp during this campaign, allowing Mohamed Salah to play further forward and more central at times.
Salah and Liverpool's other frontman, Sadio Mané, are both on 17 league goals this term and Chris Sutton feels that Firmino needs to start banging in a few extra strikes to take the pressure off the two African strikers.
"The one that worries me a little bit, I do feel Firmino has to step up, I really do.
"They've been reliant on Salah and Mané and they need others to come to the fore at a time when it really matters now.
"Others need to step up, don't they? They have been reliant on Salah and Mané.
"I think he needs to be more ruthless at this stage of the season.
While it's clear to see what Sutton's point is, Firmino's contributions elsewhere on the pitch should not be undervalued either. His tireless running and ruthless pressing make him a nightmare for any centre-halves to face. Firmino's unselfish approach to the game allows the likes of Mané and Salah to capitalise on the central space which he has dropped out of, taking a defender or two with him each time.
Firmino finished last season with 15 league goals so he could still reach that target this time around. He has never finished below double figures in any of his three previous seasons on Merseyside.
Liverpool's next fixture is at home to Spurs on March 31st.
