Blues & BBC Essex agree two-year deal
New two-year deal agreed with BBC Essex to coverage all home and away matches
Southend United are pleased to announce that we have agreed a new two-year deal with BBC Essex for radio broadcasting rights.
The two-year deal will see the BBC continue their coverage of all Blues matches home and away in all competitions.
The commentary is also fed onto the club's official Blues Player channel for anyone unable to tune in to the BBC's own commentary.
Blues' Chief Executive Steve Kavanagh said: "The BBC's coverage has been excellent in recent seasons and it was the same again last year.
"We're pleased to have agreed this new two-year deal that will see them cover every game, home and away, for the next two seasons."
BBC Essex's Managing Editor Gerald Main said: "It's great news for BBC Essex and for Blues fans. Home and away, wherever the match, whatever the day, we'll be there. If you can't get to the match it's the next best thing.
"Behind the scenes I detect some real optimism so we're delighted to be able to bring fans home and away coverage. We will be there every kick and every step of the way."
BBC Essex's Nick Alliker will be providing commentary of Blues' two home friendlies against QPR and West Ham United, exclusively on Blues Player.
The first game of BBC Essex's new deal will be the first game of the season, at home to Plymouth Argyle on 3rd August, kick-off 3pm.


Policymakers' interest in tax reform has increased dramatically in recent years as a consensus on broadening the tax base and lowering marginal tax rates has emerged.
As such base broadening would necessitate curbing or eliminating certain tax expenditures, this paper examines the economic impact of the preferential tax treatment of employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs). Through a comprehensive literature review as well as a new analysis of ESOPs sponsored by S corporations (S ESOPs), this paper demonstrates how ESOPs—and in particular S ESOPs—contribute positively to job creation in the U.S. economy by promoting employee commitment.
A survey of members of the Employee-Owned S Corporations of America (ESCA) demonstrates that S ESOPs showed more employment growth in the pre-recession period of the previous decade than private U.S. firms generally.
The surveyed ESCA members regained momentum more quickly after the recession than private firms.
On net, employment among the surveyed firms increased over 60 percent during 2001–2011, compared to roughly no change in total private, nonfarm employment in the United States during the same period.
DOL data show that the number of S ESOPs and the number of S ESOP active participants have each more than doubled since 2002.
Active participation among S ESOPs that have existed since 2002. Active participation among S ESOPs that have existed since 2002 is also up. In particular, in 2007, when the recession hit, private U.S. employment took a dramatic downward turn while active participants among this subset of S ESOPs actually increased.
Many S ESOPs are in the manufacturing industry, where employment has been trending downward in the United States for the last decade. Compared to U.S. manufacturing employment generally, the S ESOP structure has buffered S ESOP manufacturing firms.
Active participation among S ESOPs that have existed since 2002 is also up. In particular, in 2007, when the recession hit, private U.S. employment took a dramatic downward turn while active participants among this subset of S ESOPs actually increased.

"No Me Ame" () is a song by Puerto Rican rapper and singer Anuel AA, Jamaican record producer Rvssian, and American rapper and singer Juice Wrld, the latter appearing posthumously in this song. The song was released under Head Concussion Records and Sony Music Latin on 17 April 2020. A music video directed by Arrad Rahgoshay was released alongside the single.

"No Me Ame" debuted and peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.

Background
"No Me Ame" was recorded months before Juice Wrld's death from a drug-related seizure on December 8, 2019. According to Rvssian, he and Anuel AA had recorded the track in Miami when he suggested that Juice Wrld would fit this song. Rvssian stated that Anuel was on board with the idea, going on to say that Anuel and Juice had "mutual respect" for each other and their music. Rvssian presented the song to Juice Wrld, and he immediately loved it and started recording for the song.

"No Me Ame" is the first collaboration between Anuel and Juice Wrld. Rvssian had previously worked with Juice Wrld on the song "Ring Ring" from his 2019 studio album Death Race for Love.

Music video
The music video, directed by Arrad Rahgoshay, was released alongside the single on 17 April 2020. The videoclip features all artists and was released as a tribute to Juice Wrld, who himself posthumously appears in the video as an angel through computer animation. Various references and images relating to Juice Wrld and his work were interspersed throughout the visual, including a scene at the end where Rvssian and other people release lit lanterns that form the number 999, a number that was used as Juice Wrld's symbol throughout his career and was also the name of his breakout EP.

The balance sheet would make you drool, but don't be fooled.
Consider this: a company with a household name—established in 1851—that offers up a capital-light service of incredible value to users worldwide. This company has increased or maintained its dividend every year since rejoining the public markets in 2006. Currently, it yields a 3.1% dividend, trades for 11 times earnings and an-even-more-paltry nine times free cash flow.
So far, most dividend investors would be drooling, but here's the real juicy part: this company only uses 28% of its free cash flow to pay out its growing dividend—meaning the payout is likely safe, and has lots of room for growth.
While this reads as a textbook case of a dream income stock, the picture isn't quite as rosy as it seems. Lately, I've been looking for a few dividend stocks to balance out my growth-heavy retirement portfolio. When I came upon this company, I was intrigued; but after doing some digging, I'm staying away.
Here's why Western Union (NYSE:WU) isn't the steal it appears to be at first glance, and why I'm looking elsewhere to invest my money.
While it may have made its name as a telegraph service, Western Union now peddles itself primarily as a money-transfer service.
For many global citizens, being able to send money from first-world countries back to their third-world familes is a vital lifeline—and one that Western Union is none-too-happy to offer. With the global economy getting back on its feet, you'd think Western Union would be a great stock to buy right now, but there are a few problems with that theory.
It's tough to say exactly where the pressure is coming from, but it's likely from many fronts. As banks become more global, the need to transfer money via wire service becomes less important. Credits cards are also moving into the payment space. And equally important, there are a number of upstart companies moving into Western Union's turf, including MoneyGram International (NASDAQ:MGI)—which has grown its business by 18% over the past two years.
Though Western Union has a market share six times the size of MoneyGram, the two combine for only 21% of overall wire transfers globally. That means this is a highly fragmented industry.
Though some might think that means Western Union has a huge opportunity to seize market share, that simply hasn't been the case. Since October of 2012, trailing revenues have actually dipped while profit margins have severely eroded.
Even more importantly, free cash flow has declined 30% since hitting a high back in July of 2009. That means that although the company is only using a small portion of its cash on dividends right now, that percentage will likely move up, as a shrinking cash flow pie and a growing dividend could combine to form an uncomfortable situation for the company and its shareholders.
This is a company with a rock-solid balance sheet, but a declining business model. Investors need to take note of that before buying into the company's stock. As far as I'm concerned, there are better dividend companies out there for your hand-earned money.


Presently, numerous people who do some companies dream of growing their company activity in areas where the top-quality items are extremely loved and wanted. One of the regions which is a great business focus is known as Russian Federation.
In Russia lives more than 100 and forty three millions of people who are poor as well as wealthy ones, like in each culture today. However, the huge number will surely impress most of the company men and ladies, because it is a huge market to offer their goods and earn a lot of cash.
The leading places in the Russian Federation is of course the main town region – Moscow. In that city lives over 12 millions of Russian men and women. Furthermore, it is the hugest town in Europe and according to Forbes, in 2005 Moscow was the most high priced city in European countries. It is not an stop of great information for the traders – in Moscow resides the greatest number of billionaires – seventy- nine! As it can be noticed, the Russian Federation is a good place to earn lots of cash because the residents are not poor. Nevertheless, the Russian Federation has launched some restrictions when it goes to worldwide deal – the sellers must have gost certification : gost certification .
What is the gost Russia? It is the important document which verifies that the products produced by the provided business fulfill the specifications needed in the Russian Federation including in Ukraine and Belarus. Here are few types of Russian certificates which are issued in the nation where the items are produced. They are series accreditations, single certifications and the certifications only for one product. As it can be seen, the Russian Federation is a nation of contrasts. There are numerous of men and women who live very badly and in the same moment, in the capital town – Moscow lives seventy-nine billionaires. The manufactures posses the possibility to give their goods to the poorest ones including the wealthiest ones. It all depends on the quality of the items and gained certificates (certificator.eu/).


1. Drag the Fill Handle of a single cell to copy that cell. The Fill Handle is at the bottom right of any selected cell or group of cells.
3. Double-clicking the Fill Handle copies your selection downward when there is data in an adjacent column (users sometimes refer to this technique as piggybacking the data in the adjacent column). This is especially useful when you are working with larger amounts of data containing thousands of rows—in this case a simple double-click can copy a formula downward thousands of rows in an instant.
Note: Excel 2010 users will find that this double-click trick works even if the adjacent columns are empty, as long as column headings connect the highlighted data to a distant column that can be piggybacked.

CSIS and Lero at UL receive Athena SWAN Bronze Award
The Department of Computer Science and Information Systems and Lero at University of Limerick have achieved an Athena SWAN Bronze award, it has been announced.
Five institutes of technology and 10 university departments have been recognised for measures to improve gender equality in higher education in the latest round of Athena SWAN awards.
The Athena SWAN Charter is an accreditation framework that is used across the globe to support and transform gender equality in higher education (HE) and research.
Awards made to Lero academic partner Dundalk IT along with Athlone IT, Galway-Mayo IT, Letterkenny IT and IT Sligo bring the total number of institutions in Ireland with Athena SWAN Bronze to 19. Ten university departments also received Bronze in this assessment round, meaning a total of 52 departments now hold awards across Ireland's higher education sector.
Simon Harris, T.D., Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, said, "My department is working to ensure gender equality across Higher and Further Education. I very much welcome today's announcement of the 15 new Athena SWAN awards. These awards represent a significant step forward for gender equality in our higher education institutions. We are making progress on this issue, and these awards recognise the commitment that our institutions are making to improving gender equality for those working in higher education".
Dr Victoria Brownlee, Head of Athena SWAN Ireland, said, "Progress on gender equality right across higher education is essential for retaining talent and ensuring our institutions at all levels are representative of society".
"These are the first entry-level awards to recognise institutions and departments taking action to address gender inequalities in career development experienced by professional, managerial and support staff as well as by academic staff. It's very encouraging to see so many applicants engage in improvements to support the spectrum of staff roles in the sector".
Welcoming the announcement, Lero Director, Professor Brian Fitzgerald, commented, "At Lero, we are steadfast in our commitment to gender equality, not just in Higher Education, but also in our society. We have a strong education and public engagement programme aimed at increasing the number of girls and women who choose to learn and pursue careers in computer science. We have undertaken a number of actions to support, sponsor and mentor women within the centre. We have a growing number of female Lero researchers. However, there is more to do. The Athena SWAN Bronze award acknowledges that we have conducted a robust self assessment but also recognises the actions we have committed to carry out in order to achieve gender equality".
"I'd like to take the opportunity to congratulate the Lero and CSIS Athena SWAN self-assessment team chaired by Professor Ita Richardson for their work in achieving this award. Lero will continue to strive for gender equality across not just at UL but also more widely," he continued.
Professor Ita Richardson, chairperson of the Lero and CSIS Athena SWAN team stated, "Receiving this Athena SWAN award is an external confirmation of our commitment to gender equality. Working with primary and secondary schools to encourage girls to consider careers in software, we see that the number of female ICT enrolments nationally increases annually - overall by 20% since 2014/2015. We have increased the number of female funded and principal investigators in Lero, and our future work includes the development of career development initiatives for researchers".
Remarking on the institutional and department awards conferred in this round, Dr Ross Woods from the Centre of Excellence for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at the HEA said, "The Athena SWAN charter is an invaluable lever in changing institutional and departmental cultures. The news of these awards is timely with the recent announcement that a gender equality plan will be a requirement for Horizon Europe funding, with nearly all higher education institutions in Ireland holding one as part of the Athena SWAN process."

New Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Activity in the Czech Republic and Coal-to-Clean Energy Prospects – Insights, Political Climate, Energy Strategy, Forecast, Renewable Market Watch
/3rd September 2021, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ The Czech Republic is the fourth most energy-intensive country in the EU mainly due to the high intensity of its industry (such as metallurgy, steel and coal). After Germany and Poland, the Czech Republic is the third-largest coal producer in the EU. Although gains have been made in reducing energy intensity in the industry sector, the potential for energy efficiency improvements in the buildings and transport sectors is substantial. Energy use and carbon dioxide emissions in these sectors are growing. Energy efficiency improvement is considered a priority to reduce energy consumption and address climate change while also providing benefits for energy security. Investments in new renewable energy generation capacity in the Czech Republic are moderate in the past five years. Coal remains the primary energy source for electricity production, followed by nuclear power and hydropower. However, activity on the solar photovoltaic (PV) power market in the Czech Republic has been increasing since 2018, according to the recently published study Czech Republic Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2021 ÷ 2030.
Historical Development of the Solar Photovoltaic Market in the Czech Republic for 2007 - 2020
By 2007, the Czech solar photovoltaic market was undeveloped with only 4 MW of cumulative installed capacity. The favourable renewable energy law with a very attractive feed-in tariff led to an uncontrolled boom in solar PV installations without an adequate government reaction between 2009 and 2011, when almost 2 GW of capacity was installed. In early 2011, the Czech government imposed retroactive 26 % tax on the income of previously installed PV plants between 2009 and 2010, and this action brought panic and raised international scandal. A lot of concerned investors started court trials against the government. Also, the Czech Republic completely stopped subsidising photovoltaic installations and the feed-in tariff from 1st January 2014, regardless of the size of the photovoltaic power plant.
However, Renewable Market Watch™ registered that after a 6-year stagnation in the solar photovoltaic market in the Czech Republic (since 2018), the activity in the small scale residential and commercial segment increased. According to the Czech Solar Industry Association, there are nearly 41,600 solar systems with a total capacity slightly exceeding 2.2 GW at the end of 2020 in the Czech Republic.

The overall majority of residential systems have a capacity under 10 kW. Among licenses issued in the first half of 2021, almost 60 % were granted to systems under 5 kW, 23 % to systems under 10 kW and 9 % to systems under 20 kW. There are slightly different administrative requirements for PV systems with a capacity over 20 kW (producers have to prove their professional competence to be allowed to operate a 20 kW or a larger system). Solar photovoltaic power plants with a capacity above 1 MW are 520 at the end of 2020.
Newly Planned Solar Photovoltaic Project Development Activities in the Czech Republic
Changes in the European Union's renewable energy policy and an accelerated market shift towards renewable energy sources could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the ČEZ Group that is the largest utility and biggest public company not only in the Czech Republic but also in Central and Eastern Europe. The current generation capacity of the company predominantly consists of coal and nuclear generation. For this reason, the ČEZ Group aims to expand its existing non-nuclear power generation and diversify the available generation capacity to reduce CO2 emissions and increase the flexibility of its generation facilities, reveals the study Czech Republic Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2021 ÷ 2030. The ČEZ Group is preparing to build several large scale solar photovoltaic projects with a total capacity of over 600 MW and plans to increase its solar project portfolio to 1,000 MW (1GW) by the end of 2025 (ten times increase from its current level).
In the middle of July 2021, the Vienna-based renewable energy company Enery Development GmbH has completed the acquisition of the Energy 21 solar PV portfolio owned by funds managed by CEE Equity Partners Ltd. Energy 21 is the third largest operational solar PV portfolio in the Czech Republic and consists of 36 solar PV power plants with a total installed capacity of 71 MW. With this acquisition, Enery has now 45 solar PV power plants in operation under its ownership and becomes one of the leading renewable energy operators in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
The Czech company Photon Energy Group plans to expand its current solar photovoltaic projects portfolio from 60.6 MWp to 115.1 MWp by the end of 2021. Photon's solar energy projects are located in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and other countries. Also, the company will expand its business to PPA-related projects and "behind-the-meter" solar PV projects for industrial customers and other power off-takers.

At the beginning of June 2021, the Czech Ministry of Environment announced the start of the SER+ program with an initial budget of CZK4.5 billion (€182 million, $216 million). This is a rebate scheme for the support of solar photovoltaic projects supported by the EU's Modernisation Fund. The projects with a capacity below 1 MW and above 1 MW will be available to apply for funding through the competitive procedure. In the report, Czech Republic Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2021 ÷ 2030 is included information about the recent solar projects in the Czech Republic that are playing and would play a key role in expanding the solar power market in the country in the next few years.
Renewable Energy Sources in the Czech Republic
The use of renewable energy in the Czech Republic has increased significantly over the last 20 years (from 2% in 2000 to about 10% in 2018). To be more precise, renewable energy generation in the Czech Republic was supported through a guaranteed feed-in tariff or a fixed premium tariff. Renewable energy plants are exempt from the real estate tax, and operators of hydropower plants may also receive some subsidies. Additionally, operators of renewable energy power plants are entitled to priority connection to the national grid.

Also, Czechia has introduced an obligation for new buildings to meet the criteria of near-zero-energy buildings, whose energy consumption is covered mainly by renewable sources of energy. Meanwhile, besides the renewable energy supply, Czechia is also planning to increase the use of nuclear energy.
The Political System of the Czech Republic
The Czech Republic is a unitary parliamentary republic. For this reason, the country's foreign policy is inside the jurisdiction of the government, whose official pro-Western geopolitical orientation is well known. Furthermore, the majority of the country's population is absolutely convinced that Czechia must remain steadily connected with the West World. In this regard, the Czech Republic has been a member of NATO since 1999 and a member state of the European Union since 2004.
2021 is an election year in the Czech Republic and the expectations show that in October we will probably see the traditional electoral fight of left versus right as well as voting confrontation between pro-Eastern vision and a pro-Western political orientation.
Czechia's Relations with Russia
Despite the Czech President's clearly expressed pro-Russian position, the widely discussed current investigation into possible direct Russian intervention in Czech territory seems that additionally hardened Prague's already taken pro-Western geopolitical position. (FYI: The President of the Czech Republic is the head of state, but holds relatively limited powers and is directly elected to up to two five-year terms, whilst the Prime minister is the head of government and holds the executive power).
At the same time, the Czech government was not so clear on the issue of whether Russia's state-owned Rosatom Nuclear Energy Corporation should take part in the tender for the expansion of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. Contrary to the initial expectations, Prague did not exclude Rosatom from participation.
Furthermore, the country's hesitating position, in addition to President Zeman's pro-Kremlin vision, had some consequences for the Czech foreign policy. More precisely, Prague's vague reaction surprised unpleasantly Slovakia and the Baltic states, which had already expelled Russian diplomats, showing their solidarity with the Czech Republic.
Czechia's Relations with China
The turnaround of the Czech foreign policy towards China is well known. From a troublemaker for China during the 1990s and 2000s, the Czech Republic gradually transformed into a showcase of new horizons for China-CEE relations. To be more precise, the 2013-2017 period is considered as the 'golden age' in the Czech-China relations, a period in which the two countries had very close relations.
Subsequently, in 2018, the balance in their relations changed, when the Czech cyber security agency issued a warning about the use of the Chinese company Huawei. Later on (in October 2020), the Czech telecommunication company CETIN announced Ericsson as the sole supplier of its 5G network, following the example of a number of EU countries, which have also overlooked Huawei. Moreover, Czechia's relations with Taiwan is another delicate issue, because the Czech political opposition found a way to differentiate itself from both President's and government's positive policy towards China. More precisely, Prague's mayor directly presented Taiwan as an alternative partner of the Czech Republic.
After that, a joint statement from Czechia's political leadership (including the President, the Prime minister and the heads of the lower and upper house of the Czech Parliament) affirmed that Czechia recognises the one-China principle. In this regard, the Czech Republic and China are sharing the opinion that their bilateral dialogue is maintained.
The Coal-related Industry in the Czech Republic
In Czechia, electricity is produced mainly from coal, nuclear energy and natural gas. Therefore, fossil fuels are still playing a huge role in the energy sector of the Czech Republic. It is mainly related to the fact that the country has its coal resources available. Czechia's coal reserves are estimated to approximately 705 million tonnes. Brown coal is mainly extracted in North Bohemia, while hard coal is mined from the Ostrava-Karviná basin (FYI: The latter coal basin is among the largest in Europe. Its major part is actually located in Poland, but one-sixth lies in the territory of the Czech Republic).
Chart 4: Operating Coal Power Plants in the Czech Republic in 2020 by Age in Megawatts; Source: Renewable Market Watch™
Czechia's coal-related industry has always played and will probably continue to play a significant role in the national economy. In 2018, the share of coal in gross electricity generation amounted to 49.5%. However, taking into consideration the fact that the dominating coal production is closely connected with the subsequent large amounts of carbon emissions and therefore it is a substantial threat to local air quality, the country is taking action to reduce its carbon footprint. According to the most recent State Energy Policy, the share of coal in gross electricity generation should decrease to between 11% and 21% by 2040.
To ensure the sustainable use of coal in the future, Czechia is engaged in an ambitious programme to renovate and renew the coal-fired power stations in North Bohemia. More precisely, the 800 MW Tušimice II power plant has been renovated, reducing its CO2 emissions significantly and extending its life (to 2035). The life of the 750 MW Prunéřov II power plant has also been extended, following the renovation of three units, successfully reducing CO2 emissions by 40%. In addition, the 660 MW Ledvice power plant has an efficiency of 42.5%. Last but not least, the Czech Republic has oil and gas production in the southern Moravia region.
The conclusion
Briefly, the Czech Republic has a highly developed energy sector. Although the production of conventional (mostly coal-relying) energy is still commoner than renewable energy alternatives, it seems that Czechia is determined to go greener. Most probably, despite the country's long-term coal-related energy traditions, we could expect that the renewable energy sources will be the country's main power solution in the foreseeable future.
Renewable Market Watch™ expects that solar market drivers in the Czech Republic by the end of 2021 will be small scale residential rooftop installations below 20 KW and commercial rooftop installations below 1 MW for own consumption. Developments will be realised mainly through local investors. By 2022/23 we expect the building of new large scale solar photovoltaic power plants in the country. The projects of building new large scale PV plants are also connected with new subsidies for ground-mounted solar installations, which the state will support within the support of the EU's Modernization Fund. For the first time in the Czech Republic, the construction of floating or agrivoltaic solar power plants will be supported.

Discover the Alabaster Coast along the steep Normandy coast with spectacular chalk cliffs, a number of scenic villages, posh seaside holiday resorts, the Channel Islands, and the English Channel. The Channel Islands, although British Crown Dependencies, are considered culturally and historically a part of Normandy. Upper Normandy is predominantly more industrial, while Lower Normandy is predominantly agricultural. The shoreline is famed for the D-Day invasion by Allied troops on June 6, 1944, where you'll find museums and monuments with historical significance to World War II. As you explore the old towns, note the Norman architecture that follows a pattern similar to the English Romanesque architecture following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Typical Norman villages have many half-timbered houses in their old towns and historical vessels in their old ports. One of the most popular things to do along the Alabaster Coast is sampling its local products: The region produces hard apple ciders, Calvados apple brandies, and famous Bénédictine liqueur instead of wine due to its abundance of apple orchards.

News / UK and world
More than half a million UK firms 'significantly distressed' amid pandemic
A closed restaurant in Hamilton, Lanarkshire (Andrew Milligan/PA)
More than half a million UK businesses are in "significant distress" due to the impact of the pandemic, according to new figures.
The latest Begbies Traynor red flag alert report for the past quarter revealed that 557,000 businesses are in particular turmoil as restrictions continue to cause instability across enterprises.
The insolvency specialists said the figures showed the biggest increase in distress among firms since 2017. They revealed 527,000 companies were in significant distress in the previous quarter.
It comes despite lower than average insolvencies as a ban on lease forfeiture and winding-up petitions has caused a backlog in company collapses.
Julie Palmer, partner at Begbies Traynor, said "a perfect storm is on the horizon" for the turn of the year as the end of support measures is expected to result in insolvencies and redundancies.
"With so many businesses limping along there could be a flood of insolvencies when the courts do get back to anywhere near normal capacity and attempt to clear the backlog of pending cases," she said.
"This in itself, combined with the end of the furlough scheme and other Government support measures, is likely to have a material impact on the UK business failure rate.
"A combination of a grim economic data, and very poor trading conditions, particularly in the most vulnerable sectors such as hospitality, will take its toll, and this is expected to feed through to next year's first quarter, particularly when the Government ends its high profile corporate life support measures."
The report also revealed a 14% increase in the number of food and drug retailers in significant distress since the start of lockdown in March.
Across all sectors, there has been a 9% jump in the number of companies in significant distress since March, representing around 48,000 firms.

Get Started for Camera Operators
Best Practices for Scanning
How to Determine the Scan Path
Last updated December 09, 2019 13:09
An important skill when scanning with Matterport is choosing the right scan positions since these directly correspond to the user's path through your model.
Imagine the camera is a visitor seeing the property in-person. Naturally, you'd want to place the camera in order to simulate the walking path the visitor would most likely take.
Distance & Line of Sight
Place the camera 5 to 8 ft (1.5 to 2.5 m) from a previous scan.
The maximum distance can vary depending on the actual property.
Keep a clear line of sight to a previous scan.
Keep the camera 24 in (60 cm) away from walls and objects.
This will help avoid slices, warps, and distortion.
Scan before a door and after entering but not directly inside the threshold.
Scan in a clean, clear grid pattern for a professional look.
Highlight the Best Parts
Your selection of scan positions tells a story. By taking more scans in an area, you're encouraging users to spend more time exploring there.
Beautiful kitchen with a breakfast bar? Warm, inviting living room with a fireplace? These are all terrific areas take a few more scans.
Don't worry about taking too many scans. You can always hide some later in Workshop. Learn more.
Hallways & Narrow Areas
Generally, you'll want to move in a straight line down hallways — a zig-zag approach can be jarring for users.
If you're in a narrow area, keep the camera at least 18 in (45 cm) away from the wall and other objects. This is to avoid alignment errors and distortions in the 2D panorama.
Scan two to three feet (60 to 90 cm) before and after the threshold.
Avoid scanning in the middle of a doorway.
If scanning in the middle of the doorway is necessary, hide the scan later in Workshop. Learn more.
Keep doors consistently open or closed the entire time you are on-site.
If necessary to prop a door open for navigation, then prop the door so it is open 45º.
Floors & Stairs
For buildings with multiple floors, start at the bottom floor and move up.
This is not a hard requirement, but it is logical and easy to follow.
Furthermore, it's easier to place and adjust the tripod when you are moving up the stairs instead of going down the stairs. Take extra care so the tripod is stable and won't fall.
Learn more about scanning for multiple floors.

Q: ideal number gernerator I was trying to solve a problem on Hackerearth.
Here: https://www.hackerearth.com/problem/algorithm/ideal-random-number-generator/
I solved this partially:https://ideone.com/pXkHwQ (passed three cases)
I am missing on some mathematical concept of probability. Can anyone help me here. I just need the concept, not the full answer.

A: Hint:
Suppose for a moment that the ideal number generator generates any integer between $ A $ and $ B $ instead of real number.
Then the probability of $ X_1 + X_2 \le C $ can be found as
$ \sum_{M} P(X_1 = M) P(X_2 \le C - M) $
For a concrete example, let say A = B = 6, then the probability that $ X_1 + X_2 \le 8 $ is $ P(X_1 = 1)P(X_2 \le 7) + P(X_1 = 2)P(X_2 \le 6) + \cdots + P(X_1 = 6)P(X_2 \le 2) $
Which should be $ \frac{1}{6}(1 + 1 + \frac{5}{6} + \cdots + \frac{2}{6}) $
The challenge for this problem is the generalize this approach to real number.

Wartime provides the severest test for a defender of liberty. That's when governments everywhere tend to censor, jail and even execute opponents. Charles James Fox became legend for defending liberty during not one but two major wars. Uniquely among great British political figures, he spent almost his entire Parliamentary career — 38 years — in the Opposition.
If it weren't for his wild ways, Fox might well have headed a ministry and had more direct influence on events rather than spend so many years in Opposition. During his early manhood, Fox consumed a lot of brew and reportedly even pawned his gold watch for a beer. He didn't get drunk much, though, because he wanted to stay sober enough for gambling. He became a skilled handicapper at the race tracks. The problem was he lost even more money at cards. He borrowed money from friends and from money-lenders. His losses exceeded L140,000, an astounding sum. At one point, creditors seized his furniture.
Charles James Fox was born at 9 Conduit Street, Westminister, London, January 24, 1749. He was the third son of courageous and corrupt Henry Fox who enriched himself as Paymaster-General, quite possibly the most lucrative post in the British government. Charles' mother was an aristocrat, Georgiana Caroline Lennox.
Fox entered Hertford College, Oxford in October 1764. During his two years there, he acquired a love of reading classic literature which was to refresh him till his dying days. After Oxford, Fox spent two years travelling through Europe. On the way back, he stopped in Geneva to visit Voltaire who recommended some books.
Concerned about his son's directionless drifting, Henry Fox arranged for him to get elected a Member of Parliament from Midhurst, one of many "pocket boroughs" controlled by a few aristocrats — Parliament was very much an exclusive club with 558 members intent on protecting their privileges. Charles took his seat November 1768.
He began maturing with the shocks of family tragedies. In July 1774, his father and mother died. By the end of July, his mother was dead. His older brother Stephen died in November. Charles was left with a L900 annual income and a L20,000 inheritance which he soon lost at the gaming tables.
Resisting both King George III and the patronage-driven Whigs in Parliament, Fox embraced libertarian principles. This made him a compatriot of reformer Charles Wentworth, Lord Rockingham. Fox was inspired by Lord Rockingham's Dublin-born private secretary, Edmund Burke, two decades his senior. Burke was a tall man who spoke with an Irish accent. Burke's father was a Protestant attorney, his mother was Catholic, and his best teacher was a Quaker. Burke wasn't a great orator — indeed, his speeches which were sometimes three hours long emptied the seats in Parliament. But Burke had acquired deep knowledge of history which gave him valuable perspective, and he developed a passionate pen. He urged religious toleration for Irish Catholics. He supported freer trade. He favored ending the secrecy of Parliamentary proceedings. He expressed his outrage when a mob murdered two men convicted of homosexual contact. He defended the right of Middlesex voters who had four times chosen the maverick printer John Wilkes to be their representative in Parliament.
Then came the epic debate about how to pay off the L70 million of debts from the Seven Years War (1756-1763). The purpose of this war had been to defend the American colonies from the French, but the colonists — there were about 2 million at the time — saw proposed taxes as tribute to the British Empire whose major feature was the aggravating mercantilist system in which British merchants reserved the colonies as their exclusive territory. If somebody in Rhode Island wanted to buy hats from Virginia, they had to go through British merchants. The result of such restrictions, naturally, was widespread smuggling. In addition, each of the colonies had their own elected assemblies and didn't accept the supremacy of Parliament over their affairs.
Burke opposed schemes to tax the American colonists because he believed proposed taxes were unjust, they would yield little revenue and trigger rebellion. After the schemes were enacted, Burke called for repeal. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Grenville's Stamp Duty (1765) — some 50 taxes on newspapers and legal documents — had provoked such a storm of protest that it was repealed in a year. Then in 1767 came Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Townshend's taxes on tea and other articles, provoking the "Boston Tea Party" which led to the British blockade of Boston, opposed by Burke.
Fox worked to become the most effective orator and debater in the House of Commons. He refined his skills by speaking at least once every day. He rejected the traditional style of speaking with flowery metaphors, extensive quotations and allusions to ancient Greece and Rome — a style practiced by William Pitt who had been an influential Member of Parliament for three decades. Fox was spontaneous, direct, passionate.
Again and again, he hammered the ministry of Lord North. In 1775, Fox denounced the suspension of Habeas Corpus, a bulwark of civil liberties. On February 2, 1777, he warned that Britain would lose the war and that sending over more troops could leave Britain defenseless against France. After the British surrender at Yorktown, Fox insisted that recognition of American independence must be given unconditionally, not made a price of peace.
Dressed in a blue frock-coat and a yellow waistcoat — colors later adopted by the Whig party as well as the Whig journal Edinburgh Review — Fox championed liberal reform during the 1780s. For example, he advocated complete religious toleration. This meant expanding the Toleration Act (1689) which required that to legally serve as a clergyman, a religious Dissenter must acknowledge the divinity of Christ — a measure specifically aimed at Unitarians. Fox also favored abolishing religious tests to exclude Dissenters from political office.
Fox's leading adversary was Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger who served as Prime Minister from 1784 to 1802. Pitt was a tall, slim man whose face was often wracked by anxiety and whose hair turned nearly white during his last years. Loyal to the king, he displayed more integrity than most politicians, declining easy opportunities to enrich himself in government. He was self-disciplined, utterly devoted to his work, stiffly formal, cool amidst a crisis, and he seldom forgot past grudges including disagreements with Fox.
Meanwhile, Fox had fallen in love with a tall, elegant woman two years younger than he. She called herself "Mrs. Armistead," although there never seems to have been a Mr. Armistead. She was reportedly linked to a "notorious establishment" in London and later became the mistress of a duke. During the early 1770s, she and Fox settled down to contented domesticity. They were secretly married on September 28, 1795. They lived on her 30-acre spread called St. Anne's Hill, a couple miles south of the Thames River in Surrey.
Then came Burke's explosive pamphlet Reflections on the Revolution in France, published in November 1790. He declared that before the Revolution the corrupt French government "had the elements of a constitution very nearly as good as could be wished." Burke began calling for war against France and stop the contagion of revolution. At first, few Englishmen were interested, although Prime Minister Pitt was contemplating war to stop Russia from expanding in Turkey.
The two men had moved far apart. Fox was for reforming Parliament; Burke was against. Fox revived a proposal to end the requirement that candidates for political office swear allegiance to the Church of England; Burke was against — many Protestant Dissenters were "men of factious and dangerous principles," he warned. In 1791, Fox praised the new French Constitution, in which staunch defenders of liberty like the Lafayette and Condorcet had a hand. Burke complained that Fox "had ripped up the whole course and tenour of his private and public life, with a considerable degree of asperity." Fox was in tears, shocked that Burke would suddenly and publicly renounce their friendship which had endured for a quarter-century. Fox expressed regret at his own "rash and imprudent words," and he offered to "keep out of his right honourable friend's way." Fox attempted a reconciliation when Burke lay dying in July 1797, but Burke had his wife turn him away.
While Burke promoted hysteria, Fox fought for liberty. He had long been concerned about freedom of speech, especially restrictions imposed by libel law. The burden of proof was on the defendant. Judges, not juries, had the power to decide whether a libel had occurred, and since judges were connected with government and the established church, they generally considered attacks on either to be libelous. Fox believed the burden of proof should be on government, so he wanted to make it more difficult to win a conviction for libel. Accordingly, in May 1791, he introduced his libel bill which would give juries the power to decide not only the facts about whether something had been published but also whether a libel had occurred. Fox's libel bill was passed and signed by the king sometime after June 1, 1792. Determined to silence dissidents, though, the government filed more libel cases in the two years following passage of Fox's libel bill than had been filed during the entire 18th century. Juries saved many defendants from the gallows or banishment to Australia.
Fox's generous hopes for France came crashing down as the Revolution spun out of control. By September 1792, the French central government was controlled by the Convention, an assembly which operated without effective checks or balances. Its Jacobin leaders started a European war. This accelerated the trend toward unlimited centralization in France, climaxing with the Reign of Terror in which an estimated 40,000 people were murdered.
Supposedly to protect Britain against oppression from abroad, the government pursued oppression at home. It shut down publications and prosecuted editors. It harassed Nonconformist Protestant preachers. It imprisoned protesters.
The next step would have been to introduce an abolition bill, but Fox's health deteriorated during the summer of 1806, and others had to carry on the fight. His arms and legs swelled up, and he suffered chronic exhaustion. He was persuaded to let doctors do a couple painful "taps," presumably efforts to drain the excess fluids. For days, at his home on St. Anne's Hill, London, he lay listlessly in a lounge chair as his wife read aloud from Virgil, John Dryden, Jonathan Swift and other favorite authors. On September 13, 1806, he got out a few puzzling words to his wife, "It don't signify, my dearest, dearest Liz." He died about 40 minutes after five that afternoon. He was buried October 10th next to William Pitt in Westminister Abbey.
As the valiant voice of the Opposition nearly all his career, Fox saw few of his dreams come true, yet he struck mighty blows for liberty. He kept the spirit of liberty alive when government was determined to crush it. He won some important victories. He inspired the Whig and Liberal parties which did much to make the 19th century the freest, most peaceful period in human history. He affirmed that people who stubbornly speak out against oppression can be free.

Selhurst High School for Boys is a name that has been given to two separate schools in England that existed at different times, but occupied the same site. The former school had been a grammar school that closed in 1988, the latter was the relaunch of a former comprehensive school, Ingram, under a different name in a different location. Thus, the current Selhurst High School for Boys is not simply an extension of the old school but rather has a more complex heritage. The school, located in the north of Croydon, is currently referred to as Selhurst Mathematics and Computing Specialist School. The school is notable not only in the eminent alumni that feature among its forerunners' former pupils, but also because of the dramatic contrasts in its academic fortunes over time.

History

The original Selhurst High School for Boys

In 1904 two schools were opened under the name Croydon Borough School, one for boys, the other for girls. The Borough (renamed Selhurst in 1921) Grammar School for Boys opened in September 1904 at the Scarbrook Road premises occupied in the evenings by Croydon Polytechnic. The school moved into its premises in the Crescent in September 1913 but returned to Scarbrook Road in 1915 for the remainder of the First World War. In this period, the Crescent was used as a hospital. The school enjoyed a good reputation as a grammar school and remained a grammar school until it was taken into the State system in 1970 by Margaret Thatcher, the Education Secretary in Edward Heath's Conservative government. As a comprehensive, it became known as Selhurst High School for Boys. By 1977, a study of the school's population of 650 14- to 18-year-old boys, showed that the school was the most ethnically diverse in the UK, with an overall mix of 51% non-white grandparents. The school's legacy as a grammar school permeated its culture and structure even into its comprehensive era. Masters continued to wear gowns, and it retained a two-tier prefect system, the cane, and a public-school 4-house system: alpha (red); beta (green); gamma (blue); delta (yellow). During the late 60s and early 70s, Prefects also wore gowns.

The school's proximity to Selhurst High School for Girls led to regular interaction between the two schools with regular drama productions involving both schools, and a mixed-gender sixth-form block and 'playground', although lessons were still attended separately.

Due to falling student numbers the school closed in 1988, as did the girls' school. The Boys school buildings went on to house Selhurst College, a tertiary sixth form college. This closed in the late 1990s and when in September 1999 Ingram School buildings were closed, this separate comprehensive was moved to the old Selhurst site and renamed as Selhurst High School for Boys.

Headmasters of the Boys' School

Selhurst Grammar School for Girls

The Borough (renamed Selhurst in 1921) Grammar School for Girls was opened in September 1904. It was housed in the premises of South Norwood branch of Croydon Polytechnic until January 1910 when it moved to its new building on "The Crescent" which had been designed by the architect Carter Pegg in the Crescent. During World War I it moved to the Croydon Polytechnic buildings in order that The Crescent premises should be used as a hospital. Following World War I it returned to The Crescent. During the Second World War, the school was evacuated to Hove and in 1940 moved inland to Virginia Water and Egham and later to "The Beeches", at Guildford, again to return after the conclusion of hostilities. Mirroring the Boys' school, in 1971 the school became a Comprehensive for girls aged 14 and above. Like its male counterpart, it was closed in 1988 on account of falling numbers and secondary reorganisation. The buildings went on to house the BRIT School.

Ingram School

Beginnings
Ingram Road Council School, a public elementary school, was established in 1905 on Ingram Road in Thornton Heath, Surrey. It was a mixed school in its beginnings and remained a mixed school after its name was changed in 1922 to Ingram Council School (or just Ingram School, as the Council was often left out of the title).

After the Butler Act of 1944, Ingram was attributed Secondary Modern status and the school was divided into two schools for either sex, becoming Ingram County Secondary School for Boys (or Ingram School for Boys) and Ingram County Secondary Girls' School.

Ingram County Secondary Girls' School
The girls' school, also known as Ingram High for Girls, continued until 1958. After this date the girls school moved to new premises less than a mile away to become Westwood High School from 1958. This school is still in operation today.

Ingram High School for Boys
Like the girls' school, Ingram for Boys was also known as Ingram High and became a comprehensive school in the 1970s. It maintained a steady record of moderate academic achievement until the early 1990s. Its fortunes then declined spectacularly, and in 1995 it was named by the government as one of the 18 worst schools in Britain; it was placed in Special Measures and closed.

Ingram Infants
When Ingram Road School was opened in 1905, an infants school was also established, named Ingram Rd Infants School. Like its larger counterpart, the Infants' School also changed its name by dropping the 'Road' in 1922, to become Ingram Infants School. It preserved this name until 1961 when it was renamed David Livingstone Primary School.

The new Selhurst High School for Boys – Ingram re-launched
Selhurst was formed from the re-launch of Ingram High School which had been placed in Special Measures in 1995. The school was moved to its present site in 1997 and re-named Selhurst High School for Boys. A new Headteacher was appointed in 1999 and Special Measures were removed in 2000. Subsequent inspections by Ofsted in 2002 and 2006 were satisfactory.

2008 closure
At the meeting of the Croydon Council School Organisation Committee at the end of March 2007 the decision was taken to close Selhurst Maths and Computing School in August 2008. Many people will remember that Selhurst, as Ingram High School, was in Special Measures for a number of years and was highly underperforming. Under the current Headteacher the school has grown from strength to strength and the 2006 examination results are the best it has ever achieved. Selhurst also had a very positive Ofsted inspection last October which recognised the school's significant strengths.

The difficulty is that fewer and fewer parents have chosen Selhurst for their sons and because of low numbers the school is no longer viable. School budgets are dependent on the number of pupils in the school and Selhurst with such low numbers would not be able to deliver an appropriate curriculum. Pupils currently in Year 9 at Selhurst will begin moving to new schools at the end of May and it is expected that the great majority will have transferred by the end of term. They will all be in their new schools for the beginning of term in September so that they can start their GCSE courses. This transfer process will be repeated for the current Year 7 and Year 8 at this point next year.

Clearly some staff will be leaving the school at the end of this term and others will stay until the last pupils leave in July 2008.

The School re-opened in 2011 under its new name 'The Crescent Primary School'. The headteacher is currently Jane Fairbourn.

Buildings

Selhurst
The school was set in the Crescent, Croydon, close to Selhurst Park. It is a red brick building, once covered in ivy. It has a semi-circular front and boasted a large main hall, extensive playing fields, two gyms and a library. The school also had its own sports ground at the foot of South Norwood Hill at Norwood Lake in Woodvale Avenue, and use of Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.  The building was used as an exterior location for an episode ("Back to Class") of Jasper Carrott's 1996 TV comedy series "The Detectives".

Ingram Building
The buildings of the site of Ingram on Springfield Road have been identified as being of Architectural or Historic Interest

Magdalena Lamarre - Southern Road to Freedom: Florida's Underground Railroad
305 Palm Coast Pkwy. NE
Presented By: Palm Coast Historical Society
Dates: April 15, 2023
Location: Palm Coast Community Center & Park
Time: 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
The nation's first Underground Railroad was established in Florida in the late 17th century, servings as a beacon of freedom for runaway slaves from the American south. Existing before the better-known Northern Underground Railroad, enslaved Africans gained their freedom by escaping and earning asylum in Spanish Florida. This presentation focuses on Florida's early history as a Spanish territory, the escape routes used by runaway slaves, and the black communities they established before the abolition of slavery in the United States.

The Lockheed Martin-made war planes formerly were U.S. Air Force jets. Congress should be notified of the sale in early 2012, with delivery to Indonesia slated for July 2014. The transaction was made possible by a grant approved in August 2011, the White House said.
The arms sale is the latest move by the U.S. to beef up its military posture, and that of its allies, in the Asia-Pacific region.
The White House on Thursday announced Brunei signing on to buy 12 Blackhawk S-70i helicopters. The deal will support up to 1,100 American jobs. There also is an option involved that could "double the project's size, value and job creation," the White House said.
The announcement of the Brunei Blackhawk sale came one day after President Obama announced that up to 2,500 U.S. Marines will be stationed in Australia. The agreement with Australia also will lead to more U.S. Navy ships visiting the island nation, and more U.S. Air Force war planes rotating there.
Pentagon spokesmen said Wednesday that the move is not aimed at China. For his part, Obama, speaking Wednesday Down Under, said Washington will send clear messages to Beijing when it feels China is acting irresponsibly.

Brasstracks Salute Kendrick Lamar with "good kid, brass city"
blame it on Shake October 23, 2018
Yesterday, Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city turned seven years old. And to celebrate, Brasstracks decided to add their signature touch to a medley of songs from Dot's major label debut.
"So we were on tour a couple weeks ago and we were listening to Kendrick Lamar's full discography, and the album that still resonates the most is good kid, m.A.A.d city," the New York duo says. "We had the crazy idea to make an ode to Kendrick Lamar from the songs from the album."
"Most of the songs on the project have a really healthy relationship between jazz and hip-hop," they continued. "It was pretty easy for us as jazz musicians turned hip-hop producers, to go into the studio with all of our friends and make some magic happen based on what Kendrick did in 2012. This was honestly just fun for us. If anybody else really digs it, Kendrick hears it or something crazy, that's just a bonus. Because this was an amazing project for us to do."
Recorded at Flux studios in NYC, both the medley and a behind-the-scenes look at the recording process are available below.

Q: c++ for_each process two containers parallel i want to process 2 containers that are related somehow and i want to process them element wise with each other.
simple example:
one container contains some kind of sums and another container of equal length contains numbers that have to be subtracted from that sum.
std::vector<int> s = {20,56,7,34,234,23,54};
std::vector<int> m = {1,3,5,2,3,5,6};

for(int i=0; i<s.size();++i){
  s[i] -= m[i];
}

is there a more elegant way to achieve that e.g. using for_each?

A: If you really want to use a std algorithm for this, you can go with transform:
std::transform(begin(s),end(s),begin(m),begin(s),yourfunc);

where yourfunc takes the elements from s and m and returns the desired modification into s (or any other container of your choice).
auto yourfunc = [](int ms, int mm){return ms-mm;};

Finals Roundup
April 26, 2019 News, PSA
World No.1s Ali Farag and Raneem El Welily took the honours on an all-Egyptian finals night at the El Gouna International as they beat Karim Abdel Gawad and Nouran Gohar in their respective finals at the spectacular Abu Tig Marina.
Farag avenged his defeat to the former World Champion in December's Black Ball Open by winning his maiden El Gouna crown.
Farag, who turned 27 this week, finished runner-up to compatriot Marwan ElShorbagy 12 months ago, but he built on a strong start to win 11-9, 12-10, 11-3, picking up his 17th PSA Tour title in the process.
Gawad had his opportunities, leading 9-7 in the first game and 6-2 in the second, but Farag came back both times to take a two-game lead.
An ankle injury suffered by Gawad in the second prevented him from really getting his teeth into the third, and Farag made no mistake to etch his name onto the trophy, his first title on home soil since February 2015.
"I've played Karim in so many great finals in Egypt," Farag said after his win.
"It was really a shame what happened at the end of the second and in the third. I'm sure if he was better physically, it would have been a totally different story. I think he had an amazing week, he's playing well this season, and it's great to have him on tour.
"This season has been amazing for me, I couldn't have asked for a better one. I might have won a lot of big titles, like the World Championships and claiming that No.1 spot at the ToC, but this one is a very special one as I'm sharing it in front of my people."
Raneem El Welily successfully defended her El Gouna International title after overcoming fellow Egyptian Nouran Gohar to lift her third successive PSA Tour trophy.
El Welily beat World No.2 Nour El Sherbini in last year's final, and was up against the woman who ended El Sherbini's run in this tournament at the quarter-final stage. The 30-year-old took the opening game, despite being under immense pressure from her hard-hitting opponent.
Gohar, nine years El Welily's junior, struck back in the second as El Welily went walkabout mentally and surrendered a 5-2 lead to lose 9 of the next 11 points as Gohar levelled.
The momentum then shifted in El Welily's favour as she came back to take the third 12-10 on the tie-break, and their battle continued into the fourth game where Gohar, sporting heavy strapping on her left knee, required an injury break after a lunge into the front corner to send El Welily 8-6 up.
The World No.7 returned to court, but it was clear that she was having to protect the knee as she lacked the same explosivity in her movement, and El Welily closed out the win to earn the 22nd PSA Tour title of her career.
"I think that the blood injury break turned me down a little bit, so I'm glad I managed to come back after being 6-2 down [in the third]," El Welily said afterwards.
"It's definitely hard pushing pushing yourself this way, but when you're in a final of such a great tournament, you do your best to stay in, and you do your best to win. That's what I was thinking at that point.
"All thanks to [Tournament Promoter] Amr Mansi and his entire for putting on such a great event. It's always special here in El Gouna, We always love being here, and I think I speak for the players when I say we really enjoy being here.
"Not just for the organisation, but also for the good weather, the great crowd, and there's nothing better than playing in front of your home crowd."
This is the second PSA Tour event in a row in which Farag and El Welily have taken silverware, and both players win $22,800 for their triumphs in El Gouna.
