Rick and Morty Season 4 marks best E4 launch in five years
James R | On 23, Nov 2019
Rick and Morty finally arrived in the UK this week, and the result was a smash hit for E4.
The irreverent, dark, twisted, dark, hilarious, dark, disturbing, dark animated comedy, which was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, follows the misadventures of an alcoholic scientist and his grandson. The series has been one of Adult Swim's most popular shows in the US, and has since found an equally large following internationally. Season 4, though, has jumped from Netflix to E4, with Channel 4 snapping up the rights to the show.
Airing in two parts of five episodes, the season boasts such guest stars as Paul Giamatti, Sam Neill, Kathleen Turner and Taika Waititi, and is now airing weekly on E4 in the UK. Episode 1 premiered on 20th November at 10pm.
It averaged 284,000 viewers, up 42 per cent on the slot's average. 77 per cent of them were viewers aged 16 to 34. The result was E4's best launch of a new series since Young Sheldon in February 2018 , and its best 10pm launch of a series since Troy in 2014.
Missed it? Episodes are available to stream on All 4 for 30 days after their broadcast.
Watch: Rick and Morty return for Season 4
Update November 2019: Rick and Morty Season 4 will premiere in January 2020. Click here for more.
Rick and Morty are returning for Season 4 in the very near future, and a new trailer gives us an unexpected but welcome first glimpse of what's in store.
The irreverent, dark, twisted, dark, hilarious, dark, disturbing, dark animated comedy, which was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, follows the misadventures of an alcoholic scientist and his grandson – think Back to the Future, but with more time-travelling, universe-hopping portals, aliens and rude jokes. The series has been one of the adult animated channel's most popular shows in the US, and has since found an equally large following internationally.
As well its twisted brand of humour, the show also has a reputation for lengthy gaps between seasons, and Season 4 has been no exception. Fans will not have to wait much longer, though, with Adult Swim set to debut the programme's fourth run on 10th November.
The new trailer teases five new episodes next month, which would make up half of the 10-episode order given by Adult Swim. Whether that means a Christmas break for the show's broadcast, or a longer hiatus between two parts, isn't yet clear. What we do know is that Paul Giamatti, Sam Neill, Kathleen Turner and Taika Waititi are confirmed as guest vocal stars. And that in the UK, Season 4 will premiere exclusively on Channel 4.
Stay tuned for an exact release date for British viewers. And until then, here's the new video:
Comic-Con: First clip and details drops for Rick and Morty Season 4
The first clip and details have dropped for Season 4 of Rick and Morty.
Last year, after Adult Swim renewed the programme for another 70 episodes, E4 snapped up the UK TV rights to the show's fourth season, which is set to air later this year. Now, we know our first details of what's in store from the show's return.
Harmon and Roiland have confirmed that 10 episodes have been ordered, with the Meeseeks set to return. Paul Giamatti, Sam Neill, Kathleen Turner and Taika Waititi are also confirmed as guest vocal stars.
We've also got our first taste of what the latter will be like, with a video unveiled at Comic-Con featuring Glootie, an alien voiced by Waititi, who is encountered by Jerry and Morty. Here's the clip:
Rick and Morty gets bumper renewal for 70 episodes
Rick and Morty has been renewed in a big way by Adult Swim, with a bumper order given for another 70 episodes.
The irreverent, dark, twisted, dark, hilarious, dark, disturbing, dark animated comedy, which was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, follows the misadventures of an alcoholic scientist and his grandson – think Back to the Future, but with more time-travelling, universe-hopping portals, aliens and rude jokes. The series has been one of the adult animated channel's most popular shows in the US, and has since found an equally large following internationally – Netflix UK is now the exclusive home of the comedy on British soil, with Season 3 arriving last year hot on heels of its American broadcast.
"It has surpassed new heights of surreal comedy," we wrote in our review of the third season. "Production belches aside, Rick and Morty is still the most wildly imaginative sitcom going and even while the season overall veers between the ridiculous and the sublime, it always looks good and gets laughs doing it. At certain points, it looks as if they can't all be winners, but in the main, it's only getting better and better."
Now, fans have another 35 hours to look forward to, with Adult Swim's renewal commissioning more than double the number of episodes that already exist. The order marks a long-term deal, though, as Roiland and Harmon have resisted the urge to rush out episodes, with long spaces between each season, in which case you can expect Rick and Morty to be around for another 10 years – not quite the 97 years that some may wish for, but certainly a run that's rare in today's competitive, cancellation-heavy TV landscape. Indeed, the news arrives as some of the small screen's best comedies – Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Last Man on Earth – have been given the chop.

Sized for solar
After growing up on an organic grazing dairy farm in Vermont, Lewis Fox pursued a degree in animal science at Cornell University. He graduated in 2014, worked on a dairy farm in western New York and then moved to central New York to work at a goat and sheep dairy.
"I always wanted to have my own business," said Fox. "If I ended up going back to Vermont, part of the idea was I would be able to build a flock of sheep rather than stay in the dairy business."
After gaining sufficient experience working with sheep, Fox was ready to invest in a flock of his own. "The lamb market is pretty good," he said. "The northeast has been favorable for selling lamb and it's a strong cash market. It isn't that difficult to get into." With a combination of savings and a loan, Fox started his enterprise with 120 sheep purchased from three flock dispersals.
Fox arranged to rent a vacant barn and pastures from a Cortland farmer, a partnership that proved to be valuable. In the spring of 2018, Fox's plan was to graze his sheep and grow the flock. "That spring, I connected with Lexie Haines, the director of the American Solar Grazing Association," said Fox. "She had gotten a contract to graze one of the solar arrays at Cornell University, but she didn't have enough sheep. She asked if I wanted to split the contract and put sheep there."
After the first year of grazing, Fox and Lexie Hain formed an LLC to create Agrivoltaic Solutions, now in its second season. "Last year we grazed seven sites," said Fox. "We leased a couple of flocks too. At peak, we had about 400 sheep out."
Fox says the first season went well. The animals thrived and there were no predator issues. "Most of the sites we do are ten to thirty acres," said Fox. "We have a couple smaller sites – we can put a lot of sheep on those sites for a few days then move them." Fox added that in the future, he'll place a large number of sheep on a site to graze for a short period of time, then move them to another site.
Fox talks to several companies a month who are interested in grazing sheep under solar panels. "Sheep work well for vegetation management," he said. "From the perspective of the solar owner, sheep do a great job getting under the panels, which can be difficult to do with mowers. They're the right size, they don't chew on wiring and in our experience, haven't damaged any equipment on the site. Sheep also eliminate the risk of mowers running into panels and causing damage."
As Fox works with more companies interested in including sheep for vegetation management, he has found those companies are willing to design sites to be sheep-compatible. That might mean starting with planting a seed mix appropriate for grazing sheep.
"Sites not designed with sheep in mind typically work fine with sheep," said Fox. "The main consideration we like to check out ahead of time is making sure there are no big gaps in the bottom of the exterior fence. But we haven't had to modify any sites to make them sheep-friendly."
To meet security requirements and energy codes, chain link fencing is the norm for solar installations. Fox prefers to see a tensioning wire at the bottom. Fences at some sites are topped with barbed wire, and one site has hot wire around the bottom to prevent coyotes from digging. When Fox visits sites to check sheep, he also makes sure all vegetation is under control in grazed areas and rarely has to do any additional maintenance. Electrical workers from the solar companies visit sites several times during the grazing season and signage at the gates directs workers to close gates when they enter and leave.
For those interested in having sheep under solar panels, Fox develops a comprehensive vegetation maintenance contract on a per-acre basis, "We guarantee that the grass stays below the leading edge of the panel so it doesn't shade the panel," said Fox. "We have the flexibility to adjust the stocking rate, move sheep on and off."
Fox provides water and minerals at each site. Some sites are suitable for rotational grazing, and for those, Fox says electric polynet fencing or three strands of polywire works well.
The ewes Fox chose for solar grazing are primarily Katahdins, with Texel rams as terminal sires. Ewes lamb in January and February, and lambs are weaned prior to the grazing season. After lambs are weaned, ewes graze from late April through October and are checked several times a week. Some lambs have been born on site, which requires more attention to rotation to avoid parasite issues. Rams are added in fall when ewes are still grazing to ensure early winter lambs.
Sheep gain well and maintain excellent condition on sites seeded in legume mixes. A well-managed grazing system for the length of the solar project will improve, not degrade soil quality. "Sheep are sized for solar," said Fox. "I think grazing sheep can be a productive use of land. We see no loss in forage productivity on solar sites, and even see higher production through July and August when it's hot and dry – the shade holds moisture better. If those sites are seeded well, they can produce a lot of forage."
Fox says a well-managed production system on a solar site can produce a lot of dollar value per acre of meat and compete with other forms of agriculture and believes it's possible for agriculture to co-exist with power production.
In areas where solar installations are controversial, Fox says the idea of sheep grazing might make the concept more appealing. "Solar grazing in the Northeast is in its infancy but we're seeing it start to take off now," he said. "I think developers realize they have to do everything possible to make it (solar) work for as much of the community as possible. It can be a hard sell, so we're making it benefit them as much as possible."

Comcast Head Brian L. Roberts Will Visit Newhouse School March 26
Tuesday, March 19, 2013, By Wendy S. Loughlin
Student Farron Stark will interview him in a public Q&A at the school
Brian L. Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast Corp. and chair of the board of directors of NBCUniversal, will visit the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications on Tuesday, March 26. Newhouse student Farron Stark, a graduate student in broadcast and digital journalism, will conduct a public Q&A with Roberts starting at 2 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium in Newhouse 3. Follow on Twitter at #ComcastTalk.
Under Roberts' leadership, Comcast has grown into a Fortune 50 company and is the nation's largest video, high-speed Internet and phone provider to residential customers under the XFINITY brand, and also provides these services to businesses. The company is the majority owner and manager of NBCUniversal, which operates 30 news and entertainment cable networks, the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, television production operations, television station groups, Universal Pictures and Universal Parks and Resorts. Additionally, Comcast has a majority ownership in Comcast-Spectator, whose major holdings include the Philadelphia Flyers NHL hockey team and the Wells Fargo Center, a large multipurpose arena in Philadelphia.
Roberts is a member of the board of directors of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), where he served as chair for two consecutive terms—from 2005 to 2007 and from 1995 to 1996, when the landmark deregulatory 1996 Telecommunications Act became law. He is director emeritus of CableLabs, the research and development consortium for the cable industry, where he served three terms as chair. He is a member of the Business Roundtable, a CEO-only organization based in Washington, D.C., and served on the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
Roberts has won numerous business and industry honors for his leadership. In 2011, he received the Ambassador for Humanity Award from the USC Shoah Foundation for his visionary leadership and philanthropic work in education and technology. He also received the Newhouse School's Fred Dressler Achievement Award at the 2011 Mirror Awards ceremony. Also in 2011, he and his father, Ralph J. Roberts, were inducted into Babson College's Academy of Distinguished Entrepreneurs Hall of Fame. In 2009, Institutional Investor magazine named him as one of America's top CEOs for the sixth year in a row, and named Comcast one of America's most shareholder-friendly companies for the fourth year in a row. In 2008, he was recognized by Big Brothers Big Sisters for his outstanding leadership in the community and for serving as a role model to youth. In May 2007, he was presented with the cable industry's highest honor, the Vanguard Award for Distinguished Leadership, from the NCTA. In October of 2006, he was inducted into the Cable Television Hall of Fame. In 2005, he was honored by the National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications for his commitment to diversity in the cable industry, and by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America (PDFA) for Comcast's unprecedented commitment of resources to champion the PDFA's drug-free message. He also was the recipient of the 2004 Humanitarian Award from the Simon Wiesenthal Center. In 2003, he received the Steven J. Ross Humanitarian Award from the UJA Federation of New York. In 2002, he was honored by the Police Athletic League of Philadelphia for his commitment to youth programs and community partnerships.
Stark, a graduate student in Newhouse's broadcast and digital journalism program, is a native of Fort Worth, Texas. She earned a bachelor's degree from Abilene Christian University, where she studied broadcast journalism and political science. During that time, she spent a semester at the Washington Journalism Center in Washington, D.C., where she also interned for The Daily Caller, a political news website.
In Abilene, Stark worked as an award-winning announcer for KACU-FM, and as a reporter and anchor for student media newscasts. Before coming to Syracuse, she worked as a producer and nightside and weekend reporter at KTXS-TV. She aspires to become a political reporter in Washington, D.C., or focus on local news as an anchor and reporter in her native Texas.
The talk is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Jean Brooks at 315-443-5711 or jabroo01@syr.edu.

Just thought I'd throw out this topic -- what cities do you find casual and what cities do you find formal? Largely, I mean in terms of dress -- are suit and tie the norm for business or going out to a nice restaurant, or can you get by in a golf shirt or sweater with khakis? Also, in terms of interaction.. which cities seem more casual or formal? The difference between calling someone Mr. or Mrs. so-and-so and seeming very rigid, or calling people by their first names and treating them like friends.
Overall, I have found Southern California to be a little more formal than I expected, particularly when it comes to dress at restaurants, etc. There are some places where jacket and tie seem expected, and even some very casual places have dress codes.
Denver is very casual -- jeans work almost anywhere, and I believe the Brown Palace is the only place in town that requires a jacket. Work attire is very casual.
Minneapolis/St. Paul is pretty casual for the most part, jeans and sweatshirts work when going out. Work attire still seems casual in most areas.
Any thoughts on your -- or any -- city?
Southern California more formal? Perhaps my surprise comes from growing up in the southeast & more familiar with the east coast. I do find Denver to be casual, & even more here in Boulder. My "office-casual" wardrobe is more like a 3 piece suit where I work, there are no casual Fridays because everyday is casual. T-shirts, shorts & jeans are the norm while I'm a sucker & dress up in my slacks & dress shirt.
Fashion types are different varying what part of the country you are in. If anywhere, people in South Florida are the most less formal with their summer clothes on, year round pretty much everywhere they go. Everywhere else ive been, people dress accordingly to the occasion and where they are going exactly.
It seems like dress is becoming more and more casual in the workplace these days. Many companies/agencies don't even bother with dress codes anymore. I work for a regional planning agency and almost never wear a tie. Jeans are a go anyday and at the most I wear khaki's and a polo shirt.
^ Man that's cool. Down here even low-class office workers wear ties and there a lot of restuarants in town that won't let you in without a coat and tie (found that out one day).
I always thought New Orleans was very formal. Even in the heat of the summer, people wear coat and tie to lunch. When one of their old restaurant's quit requiring a coat for lunch, people were up in arms. You would have thought they killed Jesus. On Sundays, the city looks like a seersucker suit convention.
Lucky you! I find that public sector agencies are usually more lax with their dress codes, though. I work for a stuffy consulting firm and while ties aren't REQUIRED, I feel awkward if I don't wear one at least 3 days a week. Khakis and polo work only on an occasional Friday, and jeans are a no-no (unless you're doing field work)!
For my area overall, if you're doing business in New York (incl NJ) you've gotta be dressed to impress.
In Florida, especially in South Florida, the least u wear, the better you are. Everybody have to keep a good beach body.
San Diego is incredibly casual. I think there is only one restaurant in the county that requires a jacket to get in. A few of the newer clubs downtown are maintaining a dress code much to the consternation of the long-time locals- old navy dives now have $20 covers and dress codes-sheesh!
Most of the time if you are dressed up you are looking out of place (except maybe at a wedding and even there one will see the youngsters VERY casual) but maybe it's just the crowd I hang with.
Good thing for me because I am terminally clothing challenged and don't own and can't afford a whole new wardrobe anyway.
I hope u can at least afford a pair of speedo, living in San Diego.
Where I live, a dress shirt and tie are almost a most. There's some places that are more business casual, but the majority of businessmen wear shirts and ties.
Interesting responses so far. Recchia -- I presume you're in Providence, from your quote? When I visited Boston and Providence a few years ago, I found the area surprisingly casual (a good thing). I'd always heard the stereotype that New Englanders liked to wear a suit and tie on weekends (like Frasier Crane), but I found the opposite -- jeans and sweatshirts seemed to fit right in, even at most of the restaurants I went to downtown and in Back Bay (keep in mind though, I'm not into overpriced, pretentious restaurants -- Houston's is about as formal as I get). I really liked Providence -- I believe it to be the most underrated city in the country!
New York does seem more formal alright, although I actually have not been there, so I'm going on reputation and what I've heard.
Florida... I've heard the central parts (including Orlando and Tampa Bay) are casual -- golf shirts and khakis will get you almost anywhere. At the same time, I've heard Miami and Jacksonville can be quite formal.
The formality of Northwest Arkansas surprises me, with the reputation of the area as an outdoorsy area -- not to mention Fayetteville being a college town. Of course, I have not been there in a decade -- I suspect Wal-Mart's influence has increased since then, and I suspect many of the vendors in the area dress formally (ironic, since Wal-Mart is not really for the suit and tie crowd).
I have to say, I never understood the "Dress to impress" comment. A suit, for example, doesn't impress me. If someone is selling something to me in a suit, that's a HUGE obstacle to overcome -- I guess I naturally distrust people in suits. A sweater and khakis "impresses" me a lot more, and I know a lot of people like that.
Not everyone wears a shirt and tie, but a lot of the vendors, Wal-Mart HQ employees, and JB Hunt (trucking) employees. Most of the other businesses are real casual. It's extremly hard to find someone in a full suit up here, but a tie & shirt or polo and khaki's is extremly common. Fayetteville is a bit different since it's a college town. Most people wear casual there. There's probably about 6 or 7 real upscale restaurants that require jacket and tie here.
Where I live, in my small town northern MInnesota haunt, a lot of people wear suits with ties during the workweek just simply because they are white collar workers, but we also have a university, so anything is going to be more casual. We really only have a few nice restaurants, but a nice shirt with khakis or jeans would suffice.
I have noticed in my travels that Milwaukee tends to be pretty casual, or at least business casual, while Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Louisville tend to be more formal for business people.
Bay Area, definitely casual, especially Silicon Valley. Sure, you can find suits, but I don't see too many on the streets of my hometown! Been to a few city council special agenda meetings, and the officials were all very casual. Maybe that's typical though of city council meetings.....?
Here in Orlando in the workplace, jeans are usually acceptable and the newer companys such as EA sports where they design video games, flip flops, shorts, t-shirts, caps are all acceptable, most employees there are 20 somethings. I work in the brokerage industry (behind the scenes) and jeans are acceptable but have to wear a shirt with a collar, polo or oxford, sneakers are ok, there are special tshirt or jersey days, hat days, tropical shirt days, etc.
this is a strange discussion. not because it's not interesting, but because i've always thought of cities to be a combination of everything, from formal to casual and everything in between.
as for the work place... i work in a freaking college that freaking makes me wear a freaking shirt and tie!!!
I can't imagine anyplace in California being that formal! Maybe in the OC or something I could understand, but Cali's always been the relaxed kind of place, especially by the coast. Even in the workplace, there's a lot of the high-tech companies that have casual friday every day.
NYC struck me as being pretty formal in a lot of ways (and yet, super casual in others), and the Dallas Metroplex always feels semi-formal to myself as well.
Arizona and NM both struck me as being "comfortable" - whatever you want to wear that's comfortable is the way to go. Montana was formal in its casualness - you feel out of place if you're not wearing jeans, a plaid shirt, and a cowboy hat (don't get me wrong, I thought Montana was a beautiful and friendly place).
Other than that - I'm not sure any of the other places I've been really struck me as being either particularly formal or informal as far as dress.
In general I think the South places more emphasis on dressing "up". My experience has been that the midwest is very comfortable, CA is casual - but always image-conscious, and the northeast is chic.
I come from a very Southern family, and my mother and sister wear heels around the house. Not kidding.
I work for a southern university, though, and it's very casual here. Today, as always, I'm wearing a polo and jeans that have holes in the knees.
^ I find the whole south pretty casual. Va Beach is very casual. At church on Sundays usually you will find anything from shorts to jeans to folks dressed up.
I've been living in the Orange County, CA for 21 years. This is a very casual place. When I see someone in a tie, I figure he's a Jehovah's Witness or a Radio Shack salesman.

Ghana: Balancing costs of education
GhanaEducation
Several issues debated during Ghana's 2012 campaign season regarding education funding are expected to be revisited in 2013. The cost and quality of education ranks as a high priority for citizens, and as the new government articulates its policy, it will be seeking to balance that priority with fiscal discipline.
To be sure, spending levels are not the problem. According to figures from the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), Ghana spent 5.6% of its gross national product (GNP) on education in 2010, the most recent year for which statistics were available for its Education for All Global Monitoring Report, released in March 2013.
This figure is higher than the global average of 4.8% and the average in sub-Saharan Africa of 4.7%. It is also higher than the average for middle-income countries, which currently stands at 4.8%. Indeed, spending levels are an improvement on the past, with UNESCO data showing that Ghana's spending on education in 1990, at 4.2% of GNP, lagged behind the global and regional averages at the time.
Schooling is no longer free once students begin their senior school careers; fees and costs apply, which in part serves to explain why two-thirds of students end their formal education after junior high school, according to a study by the Imani Centre for Policy and Education, a Ghanaian think tank.
The Ghana Education Service, a department of the Ministry of Education, has placed caps on tuition and costs for public high schools, such as a maximum of GHS161 ($83) per term for tuition, and a daily meal cost of GHS1.8 ($0.92), to make schooling more affordable, particularly for families and students in rural areas. In some cases, scholarship money is available from the government. These costs, however, are still unaffordable to many families.
The fees were implemented in part to bring about greater fiscal discipline – a significant concern given that deficit spending in 2012 surged to 12.1% as election-year expenditure ballooned and oil revenue was less than anticipated due to production problems. The 2013 budget, introduced in March, aims to cut the figure to 9%, though analysts had expected this figure to be 6-7%, according to a Reuters survey. The shortfall in revenues versus expenditures is significant, and concerns regarding the deficit impacted Fitch Ratings' outlook on Ghana, which was downgraded from stable to negative as of February 2013.
With these economic factors at play, Ghana will need to navigate its way to a middle ground that allows education accessibility without further stress on the country's balance sheet. Indeed, making education free at the senior level, which was one policy proposal suggested by a political party during last year's elections, would require significantly more funding and investment from the government as well as aid and development groups, which currently provide around 10% of the sector's annual spend.
According to the study by Imani, reforming the scholarship secretariat and targeting associated costs would perhaps be a better idea. "Fixing the scholarship secretariat and providing money to even 50% of students will be cheaper and easier than scrapping the merit-based admission system and paying fees for all students regardless of their economic status," the report said.
The priority of the new government and the Ghanaian people remains aligned: the provision of improved education. Certainly, if the country is to sustain its very robust growth rates of around 7% over the medium- and long-term, ensuring it has an educated and skilled work force is crucial. However, with tighter budget restrictions in 2013, the trick will be doing so in a measured fashion that does not worsen the government's already overburdened balance sheet.

Kabul & Washington: On same wavelength
Mujib Abid |
The brutality of the Afghan war, while consistently downplayed – in civilian casualty reports, disputed territory, vulnerability of Kabul government, among other indicators – is breaking through the epistemic bounds set by government, its international backers, and its 'civil society'. The violence that has engulfed Kabul and Afghanistan over the last two weeks should expose the (non)existence, failures and stopgap nature (depending on how one looks at it) of the war strategy in Kabul and Washington.
Of the two possible courses of action, to militarily defeat Taliban or genuinely seek a political settlement (for Obama, it was reintegrate or reconcile), the former is not only taking precedence but has become the only policy. Massive losses in civilian lives, primarily victims of the Afghan war, ought to force decision makers, in many centres of power, to re-evaluate set directions, taken-for-granted in Trump and Ghani-Abdullah's rhetoric.
Sa'ad Mohseni, owner of Moby Group, the country's biggest and most influential private media conglomerate and, incidentally, part owned by Rupert Murdoch, declared that the Afghan war 'must continue until we prevail.'
Instead, it reinforces their 'commitment' to failed policies, more war, and reproduction of the status quo. Prospects for peace in Afghanistan have never looked bleaker. Through social media, glimpses of the site of the 27th January suicide bombing at the Chahrahi Sedarat area of Kabul are on display. An ambulance loaded to the brim with explosives blew up at the roadblock leading to the entry gate of the old Ministry of Interior.
Countless bodies lie around, dripped in blood, body parts torn apart, bones pointed outwards, knees and rib cages bare, brains splattered around. It is chaotic, no doubt. Cries of the injured and those looking for their kin coupled with sirens of ambulances and police, are at once all too familiar and shocking to the spectator. The eerie calm of the still photographs from the scene, widely shared on social media, I imagine both as a call for help and an expression of outrage, can be awesome in their capacity to deceive the sense of perception.

Despite the lesser value attached to native Afghan life, closely tied to space and culture, loss of life shocks. In its wake, the suicide attack left over 100 people dead and over 200 injured, according to latest updates. Just two days later, a military unit near the Marshal Fahim Military University was attacked; over 11 army members were killed and 16 injured. A week before the Ministry of Interior attack, the Kabul Intercontinental Hotel was under fire; the fighting that killed over 20 people lasted for 15 hours.
The 'civil society', the engine that legitimates the system, the partisan media – for reasons of funding dependency but also structural ideological overlaps, i.e. privately owned media thrives in American imposed capitalism – operates in mythic regimes of truth: a partisan accessory to the violence and chaos of the Afghan war.
In the same week, Save the Children was attacked in Jalalabad city, leaving 6 dead and another 26 injured. I can go on, knowing this list is not exhaustive and that civilian causalities often (intentionally and at times out of reach of resourceful observer's gaze) go unreported and unseen. The sheer violence and suffering caused, mostly to the poor and the working class, should be a call for drastic change.
Yet, perhaps not unlike my rendition of these horrific attacks above, the reaction that such episodes elicit in Kabul and Washington could hardly do it justice and are almost systematic and predictable. Important to note this is in relation to the wider leadership elite and not the immediate families of the victims. Social media condemnations (twitter is a favourite of the leadership), intelligence community covering its tracks by claiming they were aware of the impending attack, American leadership declaring victory is 'absolutely' possible and disavowing any possibility of peace talks, Amrullah Saleh and Rahmatullah Nabil (two former Afghan intelligence agency directors), relying on their former title, arguing it was the doing of Pakistan, and of course (repeated) calls for vengeance.

Then the initial shock slowly withers away. Within days, the impending amnesia takes over. The elite and their international backers treat such episodes like a bad nightmare, to survive from and forget about – collectively – as soon as possible. Recovery from such traumatic media events means survival of the status quo, that works so well for the leadership.
In their militarism, the Kabul government and Washington are on the same wavelength, dangerously. Abdullah's views on peace with Taliban, for reasons of historical grudge and identity politics, are well known: he is not a fan.
For the people in the 'population centres', of course, moving on is not so simple; it is survival from this one and fear from the next one (Afghans carry around notes in their pockets with emergency contacts, their blood type, and name; imagine living like that). For those outside big cities, such catastrophe too often befalls from all sides: aerial bombings and drone strikes (with their capacity for slow violence), and life under Taliban.
A sizable number, often forgotten like those under Taliban controlled territory, live in the 'in-between' spaces, the contested areas that are most volatile and exposed to violence. Such spaces are the 'state of exception', life has little value to derail set policies and there are no eyes to capture and report on the suffering of the forgotten. The Afghan war has dramatically intensified since Trump's inauguration a year ago.
He gladly handed over the reins of war 'back' to generals – which became public knowledge in the most violent manner with the dropping of the 'MOAB'. His militarism is evident in a new 'surge' of troops and 'trainers' set to join the existing 20,000 or so foreign forces and an estimated 30,000 contractors and civilian agents. 2017 saw 4,300 bombs dropped in Afghanistan, double than what was dropped in 2015 and 2016.

Taliban under pressure in the rural areas, flex their muscle in 'population centres' – official Washington policy to favour big cities – where its power is more visible, reported on, and discussed. The double-headed 'national unity government', is bent on military victory at all costs. Ghani recently, no doubt attempting to impress his American audience, in his signature irritated tone stated to 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan that his forces will fight for 'as long as it takes, generations if need be' to prevail in the battlefield.
Then the initial shock slowly withers away. Within days, the impending amnesia takes over. The elite and their international backers treat such episodes like a bad nightmare, to survive from and forget about – collectively – as soon as possible.
Abdullah's views on peace with Taliban, for reasons of historical grudge and identity politics, are well known: he is not a fan. The 'civil society', the engine that legitimates the system, the partisan media – for reasons of funding dependency but also structural ideological overlaps, i.e. privately owned media thrives in American imposed capitalism – operates in mythic regimes of truth: a partisan accessory to the violence and chaos of the Afghan war. Sa'ad Mohseni, owner of Moby Group, the country's biggest and most influential private media conglomerate and, incidentally, part-owned by Rupert Murdoch, declared that the Afghan war 'must continue until we prevail.'
These forces are all in cahoots, collectively calling for continuation of the war with little regard for its human cost – on all sides. The dominant discourse (of 'total victory' and absolute annihilation of the 'other') has dwarfed calls for reconciliation and peace. In their militarism, the Kabul government and Washington are on the same wavelength, dangerously.

Q: Animation on qwidget is not working I want a widget to animate its opacity when it is shown/hidden. I used the below code, but it does not work.
If I animate the property "maximumHeight", it gets animated in show(), but not in hide(). Could someone tell me where I am going wrong?
Header file
byeform.h
#include <QWidget>
#include <QPropertyAnimation>

namespace Ui {
class ByeForm;
}

class ByeForm : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit ByeForm(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~ByeForm();

private:
    Ui::ByeForm *ui;

    QPropertyAnimation *mpTransition;

protected:
    bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event);
};

Source file
byeform.cpp
#include "byeform.h"
#include "ui_byeform.h"
#include <QDebug>

ByeForm::ByeForm(QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(parent),
    ui(new Ui::ByeForm)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    this->installEventFilter(this);

    mpTransition = new QPropertyAnimation(this, "windowOpacity");
    mpTransition->setDuration(1000);
    mpTransition->setStartValue(0.00);
    mpTransition->setEndValue(1.00);
}

ByeForm::~ByeForm()
{
    delete ui;
}

bool ByeForm::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (this == obj && QEvent::Show == event->type())
    {
        qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "in show";
        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Forward);
        mpTransition->start();
    }
    else if (this == obj && (QEvent::Hide == event->type() ||
                             QEvent::Close == event->type()))
    {
        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Backward);
        mpTransition->start();
    }

    return false;
}

A: Does this fix it?
bool ByeForm::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (this == obj && QEvent::Show == event->type())
    {
        qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "in show";
        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Forward);
        mpTransition->start();
        return true; // you might want to remove this line
    }
    else if (this == obj && (QEvent::Hide == event->type() ||
                             QEvent::Close == event->type()))
    {
        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Backward);
        mpTransition->start();
        return true; // you might want to remove this line
    }

    return QWidget::eventFilter(obj, event);
}

Ofcourse, it doesn't work because it's already hidden when you start the animation. You need to prolong the visibility until your animation has finished.
Like this, maybe:
void ByeForm::setVisible(bool visible)
{
    if(isVisible() && !visible) // transition to hide
    {
        // m_bHideCalled = true;

        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Backward);
        mpTransition->start();
        QTimer::singleShot(1000, this, SLOT(hide());
    }
    if(!isVisible() && visible) // transition to show
    {
        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Forward);
        mpTransition->start();
    show();
    }
//    if(m_bHideCalled)
//    {
//        m_bHideCalled = false;
//        hide();
//    }
}

Note that you MIGHT need the m_bHideCalled. Set it to false in the constructor. The name could be better though.

A: It works, but I think that it not good way to do this (I think that you should be do animate before close event will coming)
bool ByeForm::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (this == obj && QEvent::Show == event->type())
    {
        qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "in show";
        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Forward);
        mpTransition->start();
    }
    else if (this == obj && (QEvent::Hide == event->type() ||
                             QEvent::Close == event->type()))
    {
        mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Backward);
        mpTransition->start();

        while (mpTransition->state() == QAbstractAnimation::Running)
        {
            QApplication::processEvents();
        }
    }

    return false;
}

Other method
Also you can override closeEvent method like this:
void MainWindow::closeEvent(QCloseEvent* e)
{
    mpTransition->setDirection(QAbstractAnimation::Backward);
    mpTransition->start();
    e->ignore();
}

but in this case you should do something after animate will finished (for example connect on signal finished and call some method for closing window/application/etc).
Also you should be check, would manually call close event or by user operations.

IDB, FONTAGRO, Government of New Zealand sign agreement on climate change mitigation and agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean[1]
The Government of New Zealand, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Regional Fund for Agricultural Technology (Fontagro) signed an agreement to work together for the first time on climate change mitigation and agriculture projects in Latin America and the Caribbean to improve the national greenhouse gases inventories and develop mitigation options adapted to the farming conditions of each country.
"The Government of New Zealand, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Regional Fund for Agricultural Technology (Fontagro) signed an agreement to work together for the first time on climate change mitigation and agriculture projects in Latin America and the Caribbean to improve the national greenhouse gases inventories and develop mitigation options adapted to the farming conditions of each country.
In Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia, agriculture is the main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, representing 76%, 44% and 45% of total emissions respectively. One of the major issues is beef cattle production, which is both an important source of income to the local economies, and a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
The project will be coordinated by the National Institute of Industry and Agriculture (INIA) of Uruguay and will be implemented by a consortium of national research institutions and universities of Latin America with a contribution of Programa Cooperativo para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Agroalimentario y Agroindustrial del Cono Sur (PROCISUR) and the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC)."

Madison Outreach and Services through Telehealth (MOST) Network
Need: More mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment services in rural Texas.
Intervention: A network was formed to bring counseling services through telehealth systems and community health workers to Brazos Valley, Texas.
Results: The program improved health outcomes, increased general knowledge of the impact of substance abuse, and raised awareness of services among Hispanic residents.
Evidence-level
Effective (About evidence-level criteria)
Madison County, Texas is a part of the 7-county region known as the Brazos Valley. The area is both a mental health and primary care Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA), as the closest medical facility is at least 40 miles away for most residents.
Almost 20% of residents surveyed have been diagnosed with depression or anxiety, and 35% reported that they cannot easily get access to needed services. Madison County's growing Hispanic population is unfamiliar with services offered and hesitant in seeking medical assistance. Many residents have turned to using alcohol and other substances as coping mechanisms.
The Center for Community Health Development (CCHD) came together in 2011 to identify local organizations that could help start mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment services for Brazos Valley residents. This collaboration became known as the Madison Outreach and Services through Telehealth (MOST) Network.
The MOST Network's primary focus became finding a way to link behavioral and mental healthcare services in urban communities to rural residents. Based on multiple studies that have found telehealth mental health counseling to be as effective as in-office visits, the MOST Network replicated a neighboring community's model and brought it to Madison County. In order to better serve the Latino community, the Network also trained community health workers (CHWs) to introduce Spanish-speaking residents to health and social services.
This video highlights the MOST Network's impact through their telehealth services and CHWs.
Partners involved in the MOST Network include:
Texas A&M's Center for Community Health Development
Texas A&M's Counseling Psychology Program
Brazos Valley Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse
Madison Health Resource Center (MHRC)
>MHMR Authority of Brazos Valley
HMH Madisonville Clinic
Madison Consolidated Independent School District – Hispanic PTO
Madison County/City of Madisonville Law Enforcement
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church
Telehealth Counseling Clinic (TCC)
This program received support from a 2012-2015 Federal Office of Rural Health Policy Rural Health Care Services Outreach grant.
Under supervision, doctoral-level psychology students from Texas A&M offer counseling services in both English and Spanish from the Telehealth Counseling Clinic (TCC). Counselors connect with patients who are located in rural clinics electronically via video or phone.
Telephone counseling – is an attractive alternative to traditional face-to-face counseling because it allows for clients to stay anonymous.
Televideo counseling allows the counselor to observe the client during treatment sessions and obtain additional visual cues.
The MOST Network found that telehealth-based counseling circumvented obstacles to counseling such as client physical disabilities, social anxiety, geographic isolation, and financial and time constraints.
The MOST Network also partnered with BVCASA to provide 2 educational classes for residents that focused on substance abuse: Choices Not Chances (CNC) and Youth Sobering Facts. Classes for adolescents and adults were led in small groups via telehealth methods.
Community health workers (CHWs) are lay members trained to bring general healthcare direction to community members with whom they usually share ethnicity, language, socioeconomic status, and life experiences.
In partnership with the BVCASA, the Network trained CHWs whose duties included various outreach tasks, including transporting residents to and from counseling services, client visits, and conducting classes for Hispanic residents on the Madison Health Resource Center (MHRC) and MOST services.
After the 3-year grant period, the MOST Network saw the following results:
Assessments showed that telehealth-based mental health services improved the overall mental health among clients in Madison County. In all, 44 unique clients were seen via telehealth, with an average of 8 mental health counseling sessions each and a total of 487 sessions.
CHWs led classes for 27 adults and 19 adolescents. By the end of their course, adult attendees saw a 27-point average increase in knowledge related to substance abuse, and a 7-point average increase in adolescent clients.
Prior to MOST, there were no Latino-focused services related to health and social services within Madison County. Throughout the course of the grant, 2 individuals completed the 160 hour training certification program to become CHWs.
CHWs met with 24 Hispanic individuals and were able to refer their clients to various services. Hispanic clients made up 9% of those who received telehealth services and 18% of those who received CHW services.
Client outcomes were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Short Form B (CORE-B).

Consistency among staff varied as project directors and supporting partner staff resigned from their positions throughout the grant period
Connectivity between rural communities and the urban area where the services originate continues to be a challenge
The cost of point-to-point connectivity, which can exceed $6,000 per year, can steer rural communities away from signing up for telehealth services
The occasional dropping of a video feed due to a network outage was frustrating for network partners when using telehealth services
The MOST Network originally adapted the South Texas promatora/CHW model that did not translate well to Madison County
Implement an educational process regarding the role and scope of the CHWs to inform providers and community members how to fully take advantage of their services.
Consider paying your CHWs as an incentive and to increase retention rates.
Develop a strong referral and care coordination system to ensure that clients are not lost in service delivery system gaps.
Determine how to recruit and train individuals who will stay within the community long-term.
Increase awareness of the purpose of CHWs among residents.

Big Brother News Reality
'Big Brother': Swaggy Says Kevin Has No Cancer, So Doesn't Deserve Fundraiser Money?
February 6, 2019 Rachel Clark 18166 Views BB19, BB20, Faysal Shafaat, Kevin Schlehuber, Swaggy C
Big Brother news revealed Chris "Swaggy C" Williams and his BB20 friend Faysal Shafaat (Fessy) raked in thousands of dollars from a fundraiser. Ads listed prostate cancer victim Kevin Schlehuber as the event beneficiary. The event materials said it was to raise money and awareness. Swaggy promised fans that proceeds would go to help Kevin and his family. But in his own words, most of the profit wound up in Swaggy and Fessy's pockets.
Kevin announces his prostate cancer diagnosis last year. After surgery removed the tumor, he is now a cancer survivor. But that requires ongoing medical attention because of the disease. Marketing materials and Swaggy's own words make clear that Kevin's name and cancer diagnosis were used to promote the basketball game with Fessy.
Big Brother: Swaggy C and Fessy Took $4k Payday from Kevin Schlehuber "Fundraiser"
Swaggy C took to Twitter and YouTube and posted a now-deleted video to tell his side of the story trying to defuse the criticism. Yet, he only seemed to dig himself in deeper as he shared information that seemed to further enrage Kevin's supporters (and family) even more.
In a video posted by Swaggy C, he said the sold-out event brought in $19,100.
According to Swaggy, he paid himself and Fessy $2K each from the proceeds as a "talent fee". He then paid $800 dollars to ZERO – a charity supporting awareness of prostate cancer.
Big Brother fans were told the proceeds from the event would be used to help Kevin, yet the cancer victim only received $800. According to reports, this is less than what Kevin shelled out to travel to the event. In effect, Kevin Schlehuber lost money…
The Problem: Swaggy C Promoted a "Fundraiser"
In Swaggy C's deleted YouTube video, he says the basketball event was originally planned as a fan event. He and Fessy would play an exhibition basketball game for Big Brother fans. If that's all it was, things would have been fine. Former BB houseguests do events all the time to capitalize on their post-reality show fame. It's common.
Fessy was doing interviews with local Orlando Florida media outlets promoting the event as a charity event for Kevin. As seen in his interview with the Orlando Sentinel.
Doing it for Kevin?
But, when Swaggy C heard that Kevin Schlehuber had cancer, he changed the event to be a fundraiser. He specified in the advertising that it was a fundraiser. Swaggy pinned a tweet that said "We're doing it for Kevin" while asking fans to buy tickets. See the tweet above.
On the Event Brite sales site for the tickets for Swaggy vs Fessy (see below), it mentions that the event is a fundraiser, and even clarifies that it's "a fundraiser to support Kevin". It promised that a portion of all the revenue (there were several types) would go towards Kevin's family.
Big Brother: Video Promise to Benefit Kevin Schlehuber With Proceeds
Big Brother's Swaggy C also made a YouTube video where he said "We want to raise money for Kevin to help him with his fight. So you guys can help him [Kevin] by coming in person, or even comping a live stream, can help Kevin's family out a lot".
The implication was, if you buy a ticket or pay for a live stream, you will be helping Kevin.
At that point, Swaggy C was selling tickets and raising money as a cancer fundraiser. The event was no longer a simple fan event. Big Brother viewers and fans were buying tickets and merchandise to support Kevin Schlehuber, his family, and cancer charities. After all, it was promoted as a fundraiser.
Swaggy C Says Kevin Being "Cancer Free" Is a Problem
In the video explaining where the money went, former Big Brother player Swaggy C says that a problem arose before the event. He says Kevin became "cancer free". In the video, he explains that Kevin was going to get "most of it – if not half" of the proceeds. Then, he goes on to say: "Here's the problem… Kevin became cancer free".
Swaggy C seems to think that Kevin having successful surgery means that all of his cancer problems are gone. Cancer survivors require lifetime screenings and the medical bills for Kevin's surgery, medication, and follow-up treatment didn't magically disappear when his tumor was removed.
But the most interesting part of the video is when Swaggy describes Kevin's reported response to getting less money from the cancer fundraiser. There is a jump in the video, which shows part of it was cut out. What part of Kevin's response was taken out and why? It looks like a live video, but the jump cut shows it was not.
Swaggy says that Kevin Schelhuber is "cool with it". But Kevin later said he's "extremely hurt" but doesn't want to argue about it. A cancer patient (whether their tumor was removed or not) doesn't need that kind of stress in their life.
Many fans of Big Brother are outraged that they bought tickets and merchandise for an event billed to help Kevin and prostate cancer patients. Then it came out that the money was going elsewhere based on the excuse that Kevin had successful cancer surgery.
Swaggy Vs Fessy Basketball Fundraiser: Where Did the Money Go?
Swaggy said they split the profit 60/40 with Kevin Schlehuber, but that just does not add up. He said that "overall the event made $19K," then he explained how expenses were paid from that amount first. That's reasonable. He said that left $7,500 profit. From that, he explains that he and Fessy took $4,000 as a "talent fee", and he gave $800 to the prostate cancer charity ZERO.
He also says he gave a children's charity an undisclosed amount and made a big deal about it on his video. Big Brother followers commented it must not have been that much or he would have mentioned the amount when he was trying to account for the money.
He says he gave Kevin $800, not the $500 his daughter claimed. However, other reports indicate that amount didn't even cover Kevin's travel cost for the event. It seems that Kevin actually LOST money coming to an event advertised as a fundraiser to benefit him. While Kevin seems to be out some money, Swaggy appears to have profited off the cancer fundraiser.
I got 2k for putting the WHOLE event on myself, labor, & playing the game.
Fessy got 2k for bringing/drawing most of the crowd (Fessy fans) & playing the game.
Zero got 800 for their portion of the proceeds.
Kevin got 800.
60-40. Not speaking on it anymore. That's it.

The Swaggy Vs. Fessy Event – A Disaster From the Start?
To be fair, it sure looks like Swaggy C was in way over his head from the start. He may have grossly over-estimated his base of Big Brother followers. In the video, he explains how his job was to line up sponsors and he failed. He got very emotional when he talks about how Bayleigh Dayton had to bail him out and pay for expenses.
Swaggy says she took over the planning. In another video, he bragged that she booked them a giant 11 bedroom Airbnb for the event. Was the Orlando mansion one of the expenses paid for out of the fundraiser coffers?
He also talks about how he had to refund t-shirt buyers because it was easier than having the shirts made and sent to the fans. Swaggy C is known for his custom tees, so it's a bit ironic.
Swaggy C goes on at length in the video about how he would have given Kevin Schlehuber more money, but for lack of sponsors. Yet, Swaggy got paid. He said the $2,000 he took from the event and $2k he gave Fessy was a "talent fee" for him playing basketball.
Kevin Schlehuber Speaks Out
Kevin Schlehuber is a very nice guy by all reports. Everyone who has met him or watched him on Big Brother can attest to the good guy factor. He is a father to seven kids and has a big heart. The revelation that he was battling cancer caused fans everywhere to voice their support. Since Kevin is so kind, it is not surprising that he held back on speaking out on the charity event drama until now.
Via Twitter, Kevin shared that he had tried reaching out to Swaggy, but did not receive a response until his daughter tweeted about it. Then Kevin acknowledged the situation in a way that only he would. He wished Swaggy C well, but said he will not argue about it anymore. He said he is just disappointed how the whole thing went down.
Chris remember who looked out for you all the time! I'm extremely hurt by your actions! And you Know all u had to do was answer my calls or texts??I wish you the best I refuse to argue with you anymore about this matter???? @SwaggyCTV

Big Brother: Faysal Shafaat Apologizes To Kevin
One Big Brother participant showed genuine remorse. Fessy Shafaat tweeted an apology for his part in the fundraising fiasco. Fessy said he was invited to show up and play. But he had no part in the logistics, planning, or expenses. Fessy said he came for the fans, to play basketball, and "spread some love" for a good cause for his friend Kevin Schlehuber.
Everything else that happened was not in his control. Tweets from Swaggy back this up. He posted on Twitter that the event was all his. Fessy wasn't part of the planning.
Im truly sorry that all this miscommunication has happened. I showed up to meet my fans and play basketball and spread some love for a good cause at the same time. Everything outside of that was completely out of my control. I have no idea how much the event cost or the logistics
— Faysal Shafaat (@fessyfitness) February 5, 2019
Bayleigh Tells Critics "Don't Count My Money"
The video ends with other Big Brother houseguest Bayleigh taking over and saying that it is no one's business where the cash from the fundraiser went. She says clearly: "Don't count my money". Again, if this was any other fan event, she would be in the clear.
But for a fundraising event, people paying and donating have the right to know their money wound up in the right hands. There seems to be a lot of miscommunication surrounding this entire situation. Bayleigh concluded harshly saying: "I don't know if we'll ever try to do anything nice again."

A call to agents and sellers here: we are looking for an independent house in Ibiza at least 3 bdrms/2baths with at least 750 sqm of land and possibly (i.e. strong preference for…) a pool. Budget is up to 600k€ (or 650k€ but we REALLY have to like the house).


Public anger at the monarchy following the death of Princess Diana marked a turning point for the royal family, forcing a revolution in its communications machine that helped revive the brand. As mourners left thousands of bouquets of flowers at the gates of Buckingham Palace and nearby Kensington Palace, after Diana's death on August 31, 1997, the royal family were nowhere to be seen. Prince Charles, divorced from Diana, and his mother Queen Elizabeth II remained at their Scottish residence of Balmoral, saying nothing for days.
Despite the British public's mounting anger at the royal response — or lack thereof — it was not until the day before Diana's funeral that the queen finally broke her silence with a live broadcast to the nation. The monarch's distance from the public outpouring of grief for the woman dubbed the "people's princess" by then prime minister Tony Blair caused resentment.
Having been immersed in protocol and tradition for centuries, the royals quickly realised they were in urgent need of an image overhaul. In her tribute to Diana, the queen said: "I for one believe that there are lessons to be drawn from her life and from the extraordinary and moving reaction to her death." The result was royals "having to become more professional, and having to take real control and take outside advice and better professional people," public relations expert Mark Borkowski told AFP.
The out-of-touch Buckingham Palace press office, which Borkowski remembers used to close over the weekends while some of the most interesting Diana stories unfolded, underwent a shake-up.
Sluggish employees were replaced with PR-savvy professionals. Patrick Jephson, Diana's former private secretary, said the current image of the monarchy was the product of a "very sophisticated news management campaign". The current media strategy focusses on distributing positive information about the monarchy, while at the same time protecting the royals' privacy. One of the first tasks post-Diana was to create a more "human" image for the queen, who had been reported as being more concerned about her dogs and horses than her citizens.
Charles, mocked for being haughty and stiff, has also gone through a revamp since his ex-wife's death. "He has spent an enormous amount of money hiring very sophisticated, professional, political-style spin doctors to manage his image," Jephson said. The investment has paid off, with the public's gradual acceptance of Charles's relationship with his former mistress Camilla, whom he married in 2005.
The extent of the royal recovery could be seen in 2011, when Diana's eldest son Prince William married Kate in a ceremony watched worldwide as Britons held street parties in the couple's honour. "What they tried to do was to promote what was good about the royal family," said Robert Jobson, co-author of the book "Diana: Closely Guarded Secret".
Elizabeth II fell well and truly back in favour at the 2012 Olympic Games, when she approved a stunt which appeared to show her leaping out of a helicopter into the London stadium alongside James Bond, played by Daniel Craig. "They want to be a more approachable, less aloof family… Not these upper-class aristocrats who don't understand the people," said Borkowski. The media strategy appears to have succeeded, with the queen continuing her record-breaking reign with the support of her subjects.
"I think the monarchy under the stewardship of Her Majesty the Queen has certainly learnt lessons throughout the time". And as the monarch slowly steps back from some royal duties, her grandchildren Princes William and Harry are taking on more public roles — helped by a well-oiled media machine that helped burnish their image in the public eye. "The whole place has been revolutionised," Borkowski said.

Global born can provide you the relevant insights in terms of business intelligence reports to earn some time vis-à-vis your competitors generating new business models or new streams of income.
In the following section, the focus of this business intelligence report is on the necessity to generate new business models based on a full benchmark of the competitor practices. Many comments have been said to create Blue Ocean (Kim and Mauborgne) instead of Red Ocean as Porter did to make your competitors become irrelevant thanks to your new products/services or solutions.
The canvas depicted by Osterverlder and Pigneur goes I the same direction while insisting on how to depict at best the 9 blocks about value proposition, streams of income and elements of expenses.
But these two frameworks offer the best solution. Nevertheless, most of the time, companies will not be able to reach that goal. Therefore, the second best solution in the current globalized world where we are now is related to the ability to integrate the elements of the innovative business models your executives could gather from other competitors in the world, keeping in mind the future synergies of technologies.
When Mapfre, the Spanish insurer, goes to Andean countries to understand the parametrization of the risk for extremely low loans, it matches with its future expansion in low income countries and the ability to provide solutions to the bottom of the pyramid.
Indeed, the ability to benchmark and then to replicate the key success factors elements perceived in another competitor for your own company defines the future winners of the globalization.
