AMPYR and BELECTRIC execute framework agreement to install 200 MWp of solar projects in Germany
Agreement for construction of solar projects with total capacity of 200 MWp signed between AMPYR Solar Europe (ASE) and BELECTRIC
Solar farms to be set up in Brandenburg are developed by ASE, with EPC works to be executed by BELECTRIC
BELECTRIC and AMPYR Energy's Global Centre of Excellence New Delhi to collaborate on engineering design and supply chain management for these projects
Kolitzheim (Germany) / London (United Kingdom) – AMPYR Solar Europe (ASE) and BELECTRIC agree to install a pipeline of more than 200 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity in Germany. The first power plants to be constructed are located in Brandenburg, Germany.
AMPYR and BELECTRIC signed a framework agreement to construct a pipeline of several large-scale projects in Germany within the next two years.
"We are pleased to have a strong partner like BELECTRIC who brings in extensive experience in large-scale solar plant construction, operations & maintenance. We are particularly excited about collaboration in engineering and supply chain management within teams at BELECTRIC and AMPYR's Global Technical Centre (AMPYRTech), to bring in the latest solar PV technology, while at the same time navigating the supply chain volatility", says Tarun Agrawal, Partner at AGP Group (AMPYR Energy).
Two of the solar farms to be constructed are located in Brandenburg. The largest solar farm will have an installed capacity of 85 MWp. The second plant will consist of six sub areas which together make for a total capacity of 65 MWp. This project is especially challenging as a 25 km long line as well as a substation need to be built. Construction works for the two solar farms are expected to begin by the end of the year 2022.
Dr. Thorsten Blanke, CEO of BELECTRIC GmbH, explains: "Our framework agreement with AMPYR is a great basis to implement further German projects in the future. We are delighted to expand our collaboration."
AMPYR Solar Europe brings together AGP's experience in developing large-scale renewable power projects, Hartree's cutting edge power trading analytics and zero carbon solutions with NaGa's in-depth local knowledge and land development prowess. Combining these complementary skills will speed up the build out of solar capacity and offers an attractive opportunity for institutional investors to deploy in excess of €1 billion of capital and generate a reliable, long-term income.
BELECTRIC is one of Europe's leading EPC service providers in the development, construction and operation of solar power plants. The solar energy specialist looks back on more than 20 years of experience in power plant construction and has built over 4 gigawatts of capacity worldwide. BELECTRIC is a member of Elevion Group.

Kepler discovers five new worlds
Submitted by Marianne on 28 January, 2015
The Kepler telescope has delivered again. Yesterday scientists at the University of Birmingham announced the discovery of a Sun-like star, called Kepler-444, which is orbited by five planets with sizes similar to those of planets in our own solar system. Kepler-444 was formed 11.2 billion years ago — it is the oldest known system of terrestrial-sized planets in our Galaxy. By the time our own blue planet formed, the planets in the Kepler-444 system were already older than the Earth is today.

The first question most people are likely to ask is whether those newly-discovered planets could harbour life. With so much time to evolve, it's tempting to imagine them hosting super-advanced civilisations with unheard-of technologies. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the answer is "no": the newly-discovered planets are too close to their star to harbour life. But scientists still hope that the discovery will shed important light on how planets form. "We are now getting first glimpses of the variety of galactic environments conducive to the formation of these small worlds," says Bill Chaplin of the University of Birmingham, who played a leading role in the research. "As a result, the path towards a more complete understanding of early planet formation in the Galaxy is now unfolding before us."
The new worlds were discovered using something called asteroseismology - listening to the natural resonances of the host star which are caused by sound trapped within it. These oscillations lead to miniscule changes which allow the researchers to measure its diameter, mass and age (you can find out more about asteroseismology in A new kind of singing star). The planets were then detected from the dimming that occurs when the planets pass across the stellar disc. This fractional fading in the intensity of the light received from the star enables scientists to accurately measure the size of the planets relative to the size of the star.
If you'd like to find out more about how planets form from minuscule specks of dust, read our recent article From dust to us. And to read more about the search for life, see Hunting for life in alien worlds. Or, if you'd just like to sit back and watch, have a look at the animation below. It starts by showing us Kepler's field-of-view in the direction of the constellations Cygnus and Lyra. We are next taken to the vicinity of the Kepler-444 planetary system, located some 117 light years away. Its pale yellow-orange star is 25% smaller than the Sun and substantially cooler. The last segment of the animation emphasises the compactness of this system. The five planets orbit their parent star in less than 10 days or, equivalently, at less than one-tenth Earth's distance from the Sun. In a way, this system may be thought of as a miniature version of the inner planets in our own Solar System. (Animation by Tiago Campante and Peter Devine.)

About $660m-worth of Wage Credit Scheme (WCS) payouts will be released to some 85,000 employers by the end of March, according to the Ministry of Finance and the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). About 70% of the funds will go to small- and medium-sized enterprises.
IRAS will send out letters by March 31 notifying employers of the amount they will receive. Payouts will be credited directly to their Giro bank account used for income tax and GST purposes, or issued as cheques to employers, the IRAS said.
Employers do not need to apply to receive the WCS payouts, the IRAS said last January.
The Government extended the initiative to 2017, with 20% co-funding of wage increases given to Singaporean employees. IRAS said the extension would give businesses more time to adjust to rising wages in the labour market.
Last year, over 95,000 employers in Singapore will receive about $1.9bn in payouts. It was higher back then, as the government's co-funding rate stood at 40%.
The WCS was introduced in 2013 as part of the Transition Support Package. It's intended to help businesses cope with rising wage costs so that they can free up resources to invest in productivity, and share their productivity gains with their employees.
How many employees in Singapore received annual bonuses this year?

Home Stocks Former exec at Apple says Amazon is in trouble
Former exec at Apple says Amazon is in trouble
Ron Johnson, the former SVP of Apple Retail who over saw Apple's retail stores along side Steve Jobs, knows a thing or two about the retail. Mr. Johnson pioneered the concept of the Apple Store and helped it grow to a worldwide phenomenon.
It is safe to say that Ron Johnson, knows a thing or two about retail, and he has some ominous predictions about retail giant, Amazon.
He believes after dominating retail for the better part of the last decade that Amazon is coming to a crossroads. He states, I think the next decade is tough for amazon, they are on their heels," Johnson said in an interview. He goes on to say, "Amazon is in an interesting place."
And you would think this has everything to do with government regulators poking around the retail giant, and if you thought this, you would be wrong. Instead this has everything to do with legacy brick and mortar retailers learning from Amazon's business model and adapting to this new model.
Till now, Amazon stood alone as the only game in town, but now big retailers such as Target and Walmart are beginning to turn the pain of the last decade into a learning experience, and they seem to be catching on quick.
In fact, Walmart has almost 4,800 stores in the US and almost 11,800 worldwide. They are leveraging the stock of merchandise in their stores and using these locations as distribution points in their door-to-door supply chain. This could get interesting as scales of economy kick in.
Until now, Amazon has gone largely unchallenged as the king of retail, however now these brick and mortar businesses could be able to utilize their existing legacy infrastructure in an entirely new way to not only compete with amazon, but potentially beat them at their own game.
This could prove to be a problem for Amazon in the long term, the next decade could be very interesting for the retail giant.

Take a weekend to find out more about your family history story in Fort Wayne, Indiana!
Save on Your Next Visit to Fort Wayne, Indiana!
There are a few things to know before you get started and head to the Genealogy Center. Once you have all the information, you can decide how far you want to dig into your roots. Keep in mind that you will need to know some of your facts, such as your grandparents' names, maiden names, and/or birth dates.
Your first stop to make can be done at home! Go to genealogycenter.org, which is the Fort Wayne Genealogy Center's official page. It's a free database where you can search for your last name, grandparents, Sanborn fire insurance maps or passenger lists. You also have the option to search the library catalogue or the genealogy database, specifically. The great news is that it's free! Before you come to the library, you can check to see if they have the microfiche you've been looking for, for example.
Before you start your search, I'd suggest choosing a type of pedigree or family chart you want to print off. These can be found on the genealogy website or the BYU Family History Website found here.
Upon entering the Genealogy Center, make a stop at the Front Desk. There is always a librarian available for questions. If you have no idea where to start, the Front Desk will be able to assist you.
Aside from a librarian's help, there are also countless fliers and handy papers to help you navigate the area. There are also maps of the Genealogy Center for you to take, and a booklet of library events.
Insider Tip: The pink papers give you the call numbers for city directories, passenger books, yearbooks, etc.
Visitors without a library card do not have to worry about checking out books because genealogy books cannot be checked out. You can print or scan all of your researched materials though with a printer's card that you get from the front desk. The card can be scanned and filled with at least one dollar or as much as you would like in the East Room. If your research begins online, you can print from library computers.
Color printers and scanners can be found in the West Room and are typically used for copying pages from a book, and the back and white printers for the computers can be found sitting on the tables behind the rows of computers in the East Room.
Insider Tip: Printing and copying information will help save you time later when you're searching for more clues.
If you need to use a computer while at the Genealogy Center, anyone with a library card can utilize any of the computers, and librarians can help you get logged in and to your destination. Please remember that computers are usually available, but they are to be used for RESEARCH ONLY. If you do not have a Library Card, ask a librarian to help you get started.
Insider Tip: If you have no previous family history information, a good place to start is on Ancestry.com. Start with searching for your last name, and the "leaf clues" will start popping up. You can also simply search for specific books if you know, generally, what you need to find. There are catalogue computers designated for this purpose, located on the left side when you walk into the center and pass the front the desk.
There are two separate rooms where you'll find completely different types of books. When you first walk in, the West Room is to your left. This holds family history books, military books, city directories of most city and states in the U.S., even Canada.
To the left and right of the numerous desks in the West Room, you can find family history books that may include your last name! It's fun and easy to search for your family name or great-grandmother's maiden name, for example.
Towards the back of the West Room, the city directories are found in the moving stacks, which means you must control the shelves by pushing buttons left or right to get into the row you want. The moving stacks also house various books on genealogy in general, South African books, Irish books, a German collection, and oversized books.
The Genealogy Center also has a collection of marriage licenses and ledgers that must be requested. In fact, there are many items locked downstairs that you may find interesting. To request these materials, ask a librarian and they will send someone to bring it to the front desk.
The East Room, with the computers to your right upon entering the Genealogy Center, also has two parts to it.
Towards the back, there is a collection of microfilm that may hold city directories and newspapers from Fort Wayne, New York, etc. that you can't find elsewhere. If you don't know where to search for microfilm among the black cabinets, which can be intimidating, there are a few books at the micro text desk to show you where everything is located.
The books are sorted by state among the rows in the East Room. They have included everything from military records to school yearbooks here. Note that Allen County yearbooks, passenger lists, and censuses are closer to the microfilm section.
What would be a good 2-day family digging adventure? Here's a recap.
Do your homework and find out as much as you like about your grandparents and their stories. Use the Genealogy Center's website to start your search.
Figure out what you want to find out. Do you want to know where your mother's side of the family came from? Do you want to know if you had relatives in the Revolutionary war? Maybe there was an uncle who was adopted, but you aren't sure?
If you're new at this, tell a librarian what you want to find and ask them where to start. It is much better to ask "Where did my great-great grandma die?" instead of "I want to know all about my family." It is best to be as specific as possible on what you want to find out.
A librarian may direct you to the computers or ask if you prefer to search the catalogue there for passenger books. This is common if you have evidence or believe your family traveled to Ellis Island from Poland, let's say.
I have personally drawn out my family tree and can tell you that you may find a clue that will change what you want to find. Don't fret that you only have a weekend to figure everything out. The journey can be surprising, and spontaneous derailments are interesting!
Now that you know how the Genealogy Center works, you are well on your way to spending a few days (or more!) at the library!
Remember that no books can be checked out of the Genealogy Center, and the library closes at 6 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Sundays, you can visit the library from noon to 5 PM.

A girl dresses up as Mary Jones
British and Foreign Bible Society
The 15-year-old girl's dream that changed the world
Copy link Related Reading
British and Foreign Bible Society | March 8th, 2018 09:11 AM	| Add a Comment
In 1800, a 15 year-old girl walked 26 miles (42km) from Llanfihangel-y-Pennant in Wales to the town of Bala to buy a book. That book was the Bible, the girl was Mary Jones, and her journey would inspire others to form the first Bible Society, to get the Bible out to people all across the world.
On this International Women's Day, we think you should know her story.
Mary lived with her mother in a small grey stone cottage in the Welsh countryside. Her home was in a green valley in the shadow of a mountain, and from there you could sometimes see the sea in the far distance. Her father was a weaver who worked very hard to support his family, but he died when Mary was young.
Mary knew what was expected of a nine-year-old girl. Without grumbling, she would do her share of the chores. She would scrub the floors, feed the chickens, cook and help to keep the house tidy.
6 women who influenced Christianity for the better
On Sunday mornings, Mary dressed in her Sunday best, would walk to the little chapel in the village, 3 kilometres away. At the front, the minister would open a large, black, leather‐bound book. As he began to read, Mary would marvel at the wonderful words and store them up in her heart. After the service, she would cautiously go to look at the impressive book.
On its cover were two words printed in gold. Mary guessed that these said "Holy Bible" because she had heard the minister mention the name of the book. The words inside looked odd to her.
"How can anyone ever make sense of these squiggles?" she thought. "Oh, how I wish I could read this book for myself, or even have one for my own!"
Then, on Sunday morning, the minister announced that a school was to open in the village. Mary was excited. "Now I can learn to read," she said, "and make sense of those strange marks in the book at chapel."
"Oh, how I wish I could read this book for myself, or even have one for my own!" – Mary Jones
The schoolmaster, Mr Evans, and his wife moved into a farmhouse not far from Mary's home. Mary worked extra hard to finish her chores quickly so she could go to the Evans' house to learn to read. Her mother saw how hard her daughter worked at both schoolwork and her duties at home.
Months passed and seasons changed, until at last Mary was asked to read from the chapel Bible one Sunday morning. She was not very tall, so a special wooden box was made for her to stand on so that she could see the words properly. Now the squiggles were no longer strange to her. She read perfectly. Mrs Jones was very proud of her daughter.
After the service, Mary rushed up to her mother. "I must have a Bible, I must have a Bible!" she cried. Her mother gently placed her hand on her shoulder. "But Mary, Bibles are expensive, and we haven't much money."
"But Mary, Bibles are expensive, and we haven't much money." – Mary Jones' mother
"I know, I know, that's why I am going to save up for one, and I don't care how long it takes me. I'll do jobs for other people and I'll save all my pennies. I'll do anything just to have my own Bible.' Mary did just that. For six long years she saved all she could until the day came when she had enough money to buy a Bible. Mr Evans had told her that there was a man in a town called Bala who had a number of Bibles. Mary, now 15, told her mother that she was going to walk to Bala.
Her mother exclaimed, "That's nearly 26 miles away!" But there was no changing Mary's mind. So, with her purse of money and some bread and cheese tied up in a bundle, she set off.
The journey to Bala seemed endless. Mary followed many paths, crossed valleys and streams and found her way around hills. As her weariness grew and her aching limbs seemed almost too much to bear, she muttered words of encouragement to herself. "Come on, Mary, not much further now," she thought.
Eventually she came to the brow of a hill, from which she could see the edge of a town. Dusk was falling, and candlelight had begun to flicker in cottage windows. Mary's heart pounded with excitement. Here was Bala at last! She recognised it from Mr Evans' clear description. With renewed energy and determination, she set off again down the hill.
"I've walked 26 miles to get here, I've saved up for six years to buy a Bible … please can I have a Bible?" – Mary Jones
Mary asked for directions to find Mr Charles. After knocking on several doors and asking for directions, she found his house. She ran up the garden path and knocked loudly on the large oak door.
As it was opened, Mary made her request for a Bible, the words tumbling over themselves in her eagerness: "I've walked 26 miles to get here, I've saved up for six years to buy a Bible, I've got the money here, you can count it if you like ‐ please can I have a Bible?"
Mr Charles was very moved by this request, but sadly all his Welsh language Bibles had been sold. He provided food for Mary, and arranged lodgings for her while he waited for more Bibles to arrive.
Two days later, he was able to provide Mary with a Bible of her own.
Mary stared at it for a long moment before taking it with both hands. She expressed her heartfelt thanks. Then Mr Charles did something that Mary did not expect. He gave her two more Bibles for her family to keep!
"If for Wales, why not for the kingdom? And if for the kingdom, why not for the world?" – Rev. Joseph Hughes
The next morning, Mary, clutching her treasured possessions, said goodbye to Mr Charles and started on her way home. She arrived to a grand reception. It seemed as if everyone was there. Her mother threw her arms around her. Nearby stood Mr Evans and the minister, smiling broadly and clapping their hands. Everyone was cheering and wanted Mary to show them the Bibles. As she held the books up, she murmured a few quiet words: "Thank you, Jesus; thank you, Mr Charles."
Inspired by Mary's story, and by the recent arrival of reduced-price Bibles for Welsh speakers, Rev. Joseph Hughes asked a daring question to other church leaders: "If for Wales, why not for the kingdom? And if for the kingdom, why not for the world?"
They made this vision part of their campaign to "make goodness fashionable".
That question, posed at a meeting of the Religious Tract Society on 7 December 1802, would reverberate across Wales and, ultimately, the world. It was the moment that set in motion the founding of the British and Foreign Bible Society.
Captured by the vision of God's word being available for all people of the kingdom and wider world, William Wilberforce and other members of the Clapham Sect decided to do what they do best – they decided to act. They made this vision part of their campaign to "make goodness fashionable" – in the hope of inspiring people to fall in love with the Bible and a biblically inspired lifestyle.
On 7 March 1804, at a meeting of around 300 at the London Tavern in Bishopsgate, Wilberforce and the campaigning groups he was a part of formed the British and Foreign Bible Society.
Since that day more than 200 years ago, the British and Foreign Bible Society has become Bible Society – a charity committed to offering the Bible to the world.
The BFBS established local Bible Societies in 146 countries of the world, to undertake its work in their locations. In 2011, it celebrated the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible with cultural events across the country.
Today, it stand on the shoulders of those in its past who were committed to faithfully living out their belief that the Bible should be made available for every man, woman and child in the world.

Oxitec do Brasil is today holding the inauguration of its first production unit of its OX513A Aedes aegypti mosquito in order to help in the fight against the principal vector of dengue and chikungunya. With 240m2 for production, dispatch and analysis of mosquitos, the opening of the factory marks a new phase for the company in Brazil. "With this production unit, Oxitec do Brasil is consolidating its presence in the country. Now we are more prepared than ever to support our project partners", said Glen Slade, Head of Business Development and responsible for the company in Brazil.
The use of OX513A Aedes aegypti, a genetically modified strain, has been shown to lead to a significant reduction of the wild population of the dengue mosquito four to six months after first release. A project led by Moscamed in the town of Jacobina, Bahia, has reduced the wild population of Aedes aegypti in the Pedra Branca neighborhood by 92%. This project is ongoing and is now being extended to other neighborhoods in the city. In the city of Juazeiro in Bahia, two other projects led by Moscamed and the University of São Paulo (USP) achieved a further decrease of wild Aedes aegypti. In the neighborhood Itaberaba, the reduction was 94% and Mandacaru, 99%. In other trials in the Cayman Islands, the Caribbean, the decrease was 96%.
Located in TechnoPark, Campinas, Brazil's Oxitec factory has an initial capacity to produce 2 million Aedes aegypti OX513A a week. "This production unit is sufficient to initiate projects, but we intend to invest in the construction of larger units in the coming months," says Glen Slade.
Oxitec do Brasil is a subsidiary of Oxitec Limited, a pioneer in controlling insects that spread disease and damage crops. Oxitec Ltd was formed in 2002 as a spin-out from Oxford University (England). The technology developed by Oxitec creates genetically modified insects whose males are able to mate with wild females but the offspring do not develop into fully functional adults. This technology is an evolution of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which has been used to great effect for more than 50 years.
The first product strains created by Oxitec are to control Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that transmits the dengue virus, and Ceratitis capitata, the Mediterranean fly, a major pest of world agriculture.

Q: Handling Variables To Be Used Across Functions Without Global Variables So I'm working on a basic word game where you're dealt a "hand" (a dictionary object) of letters that you use to create words and get points.
This "hand" is used in the parameters of a number of functions: calculating a player's score, updating the number of letters in a hand after a player has used one or more letters, displaying the hand, checking the validity of the player's word, etc.
From all that I've read, I know that I should avoid global variables if I can (though I'm still not totally sure why).
So what other general approach could I use for a number of functions that use "hand" as a parameter?

A: It's called an object. Create a class with the shared state, and the functions that share that state.
The reason why this is better than global variables is that it's a much more restricted version of the same concept - you can clearly see which functions are manipulating those variables, and document (and enforce) the expected invariants on those variables. With global variables it ends up being quite easy to have functions which have different expectations about the state of the shared variables.
It also allows you to have multiple copies of the same object, so instead of having to cast your variables as collections, and correlate between members of the collection, you have a collection of objects, which makes your code simpler. It is then a simple matter to manipulate those objects only through the functions you have defined.

A: Use class encapusulation ... see below ... game is aware of both hands
class Hand:
    def __init__(self):
       num_cards = 7
       self.cards = ["a" for i in range(num_cards)]

class Game:
    def __init__(self,num_hands=2):
        self.hands = [Hand() for i in range(num_hands)]
        self.current_turn = 0
    def play(self):
        self.hands[self.current_turn].play()
        self.current_turn = (self.current_turn+1)%len(self.hands)

This is Python 3 code; classes in Python 2 should derive from object.
... although they are not required to. if they do not they lose some functionality

As some of you may know, the AIA New Hampshire Board of Directors has been busy since late winter with the work of finding a new Executive Director to take on the role in October when Carolyn Isaak retires from the position. Thanks to the efforts of a dedicated committee of the Board, we were all able to interview four well-qualified persons from a field of eighteen candidates. Special thanks go out to Shannon Alther AIA, our past, past president who volunteered to follow through as committee chairman and brought us together for the final candidate interviews. Other Board members on this committee were Alyssa Murphy AIA, Susan Philips-Hungerford AIA, and Paul Bourbeau AIA. They also deserve a note of thanks for above and beyond service.
I'm happy to report that the Board's offer to our selected candidate was accepted, and that Bonnie Kastel will become our new Executive Director. With Carolyn's help during a three-month transition period, we feel Bonnie will be up to the task. As we went through this search process, we realized more than ever the multifaceted nature of this position. Yes, Carolyn has been wearing many hats all these years, and we are extremely grateful that she will be helping Bonnie get up to speed quickly.
Bonnie, who resides in Portsmouth, brings some excellent experience to AIANH with a background in project management and marketing management for corporate clients, much of this as an independent consultant. She also spent some time as a development director with the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston some years ago. (Her degree is in Art History; coincidentally Carolyn also has a degree in Art History, so something good there.) One of the characteristic traits she projects is enthusiasm, and the Board noted her background as a self-starter and good communicator as important qualities that will make this a good fit.
With this part of the Executive Director transition completed, and this year's monthly events all planned out (yes, we have had some great events this year and there are more to come), we are now able to turn our focus to other tasks that need our attention. One of these is identifying candidates for new Board members, since we have three positions completing their terms this year, and one member relocating to Virginia. We will all miss Dennis McNeal AIA, who has been doing an excellent job as the Board's secretary/treasurer, but wish him the best of luck in his new position in Virginia.
Our nominating committee has been working to identify candidates, and this is currently ongoing. Those of you who know AIANH members who you think would be good AIANH Board member candidates, please get in touch with me through Carolyn at office@aianh.org. And if you yourself are interested in serving now or in the future, let me or another Board member know.

The First Thing You See In These 4 Pictures Reveals Your True Self!
Art is a powerful medium. It engages the senses, makes life extraordinary, conveys emotion, and creates community. Pictures, sculptures, paintings and other art forms can express the thoughts, perspective, and beliefs of the artist, but it can also say something entirely different from what the artist had intended. It all depends on the perspective of the one beholding it.
And your perspective might indicate a thing or two about your personality.
Scroll through the pictures below. Then read the analysis below each image to see what your perspective might suggest about your personality.
Did you see a young woman? If so, chances are you're optimistic and a little impulsive. You are likely a happy person.
Did you see an old woman? If you did, you probably have a lot of life experience. You're inclined to think critically and approach life's problems from all angles.
Did you see a skull? Then you're likely a realist and a cynic. You understand that all good things in life are only temporary.
Did you see a woman? If so, you likely are innately naive. You probably fail to notice danger or problems.
Did you see a duck? This means the right hemisphere of your brain dominates over the left one, indicating that you're a humane individual.
Did you see a rabbit? If so, the left hemisphere of your brain is dominant. This means you're probably more technically minded than you are caring.
Did you see a rabbit and a duck at the same time? If so, you probably have a creative personality. Your imagination is powerful and you can read between the lines.
Did it look like the cat was ascending the steps? If that's you, you don't pay attention to detail. And you're probably disorganized or naive. You believe what you see, and this makes you have a zest for life and frees you from cynical thoughts and worry.
Did it seem like the cat was descending the steps? If so, you're either an attentive individual or you have superb intuition. You scrutinize important questions with care and don't rely on luck to help you solve problems.
Cloning has been unsuccessful in Rh negative people as well as pregnancy sometimes. If a pregnant mother has an Rh negative blood type, her body will reject or attack the fetus if it has and Rh positive blood type. Rh negative women must be treated with a special sterilization solution during their pregnancy Why would a mother's body attack her own offspring? It's almost like as if it was an alien to her.
We have all heard countless conspiracy theories claiming that the Moon landing was a hoax, but what is the truth?
Many times over the conspiracy theories behind the moon landing have been falsified and cast out. Many good points are usually brought up things like, why haven't we gone back and how it might have been a scam intended to let us get one in over Russia. These are things that should definitely be taken into consideration when looking into the moon landing.
Back in 2015, NASA had finally had enough and decided to release over 10,000 photos from the Apollo Moon Mission. These photos leave no question as to whether the moon landing was real or not. What do you think after seeing them? Did NASA release these photos as a means to disprove or prove the theories?
To see more of these pictures please click here. Was this a means of silencing the conspiracy theorists on the event itself? These pictures are quite captivating whether they are real or not. Why weren't these released sooner?
Is there something much bigger going on out there? Maybe the reason for not returning to the moon is based on something they found there? Eventually, it will all come to the surface. If you want a little more information on Moon landing conspiracy theories please watch the video below.

Millions of people around the world look to the lines on their palms talk to discover about their character and destiny.
Palmistry is an ancient art whose roots have been traced back several thousand years to India, where it was born from Hindu astrology and first mentioned in the Chiese book the I Ching.
It quickly spread all over Asia and Europe, whereupon Aristotle took up an interest in it and passed the knowledge on to Alexander the Great. The Macedonian king often used it to judge the character of his military officers and would closely read the lines of their palms. It must have helped him out because in fifteen years of nonstop conquest he never lost a single battle.
The practice has since endured throughout the ages. Today, most people view it as pseudo-science and are quick to dismiss it as superstitious beliefs. Part of why people are so skeptical is that they don't truly understand it.
They only know what they see in the media, and it has been wrongly portrayed in the many books, films, and TV shows that have touched upon it over the years. If you're further interested in the subject, the video bellow does an excellent job introducing and describing what the main lines and patterns on your palm signify.
One specific attribute that people often wonder about is the appearance of the letter M on the palm of the hand. The letter M on the palm comes into formation by the way major lines, mainly the heart, head, and life lines, both appear and align on the palm. Not all people have such a defined marking, it's even kind of rare, and those who do have one are said to be special.
They are blessed with good fortune and thrive in the careers they choose because they have strong self-motivation and discipline. Oftentimes they end up pursuing jobs in the legal or political field and work their way up to top management positions. They are seen as gifted individuals who hold extraordinary intuition and because of this they make strong business partners in any endeavor they set their heart and minds to.
Furthermore, people whose palms have the letter M are masters at seeing through lies and deceit. Not much gets past them and they almost always figure out if someone is less than honest, lying, or cheating.
This sense of intuition is often stronger in women than in men, but it comes down to the individual. Overall, the letter M on the palm has long been associated with the aforementioned traits, as well as the following qualities in life; leadership, good fortune, riches, and excellent prospects.
There is a lot more information and many details covered in the video. Check it out and compare your own hand closely to whats being described in the video. Share this with your friends and family and try reading their palms, it's really fun and you may just learn something about them.
Is Palmistry real or not?
If in the picture the first figure you saw is the little girl sitting, it is very likely that your repressed emotions will come from your childhood. It may be a trauma immediately in the infancy, or even in the perinatal phase, during gestation, delivery or early life. There are numerous types of events that can mark a child's mind and, in fact, if they are not properly elaborated, they can be dragged to adulthood and cause problems or consequences. First, the relationship with your mother is crucial to emotional development, for example, if the child had to spend too much time in the hospital away from the maternal figure, or if the mother has given little or no affection during the early years of Life, it is possible that everything is projected unconsciously through fears and fears in decisions that will have to be taken by adults.
The butterfly is one of the symbols to which different types of meanings have been attributed. According to the interpretation of dreams if the butterfly is bright and colorful it is a sign of good hope, a new happening in one's life, a new happy and prosperous stage. While the butterfly is dark and light, its meaning can be linked to an opportunity that we did not know or cannot grasp, to a circumstance that could be useful but we did not exploit. Finally, the meaning of this symbol deriving from the spiritual side leads the butterfly to the world of the dead and is seen as a conveyor of souls in the afterlife. If your attention has been drawn to the butterfly, it is very likely that you need is to find your way through your soul, or that of people who have disappeared. This could also result from a feeling of lost trust or the unconscious fear of death.
This strawberry placed perfectly in the center of the image and in size far greater than the fruit that exists, in reality, represents the heart. Since antiquity, the strawberry is represented as a symbol of love, because legend says that because of Adonis' death, Goddess Venus could not stop crying, and every tear that fell on the ground produced strawberries. If the first figure you saw is that of strawberry, what you are looking for is in your heart. The greatest fear is probably to come across a loving relationship that may end badly or to fall in love with someone who does not match our love. Those who have these fears often hide behind relationships that do not trust and start with the awareness that they will be short. The origin of this fear of such an emotion often has a complicated relationship with one of the parents since childhood, but also the relationship between our parents and the way they expressed their feelings about it One of the other in front of us.
The skull image is not really present, but it is an optical illusion that can only be distinguished by the conjunction of other elements that are truly represented. If the first image you saw is a skull, it is very likely that you unconsciously live the fear of facing the disappointments that may result from relationships with other people and, above all, fear of your death or that of a person to you Dear. This may be due to the fact that it has in the past proved a sense of helplessness in situations in which it has not been possible to intervene, such as on other people's choices or even on the life of someone very dear to us. The sense of guilt and helplessness should not be underestimated, but it is imperative to deal with an elaborate your own emotions.
As already mentioned one of the best-known tests is where one is asked to draw a tree. The tree is the symbol of our roots and in this case, two trees forming a bridge are likely to mean that within us there is an inner conflict that we have not yet been able to solve. Often we know our doubts and uncertainties very well and, precisely for this reason, we can not find the best solution. In these cases, the best thing would be to consult someone who has an outside point of view, without any preference or purpose or purpose on our person, as it may help us to see the situation differently.

Interview: Positive space: Hookworms
Despite being dealt their fair share of bad luck in the last two years, turns out a little distance was just what Hookworms needed. "It's important to remember the positives," they tell Joe Goggins.
Words: Joe Goggins
Hookworms have taken a left turn. After releasing two albums that were heavily influenced by krautrock and psychedelia - frontman MJ rather self-deprecatingly suggested recently that he felt as if the Leeds five-piece had "made the same record twice" with 'Pearl Mystic' and 'The Hum' – their latest offering, 'Microshift', fizzes with a new energy that almost borders on – whisper it - poppy. It's certainly danceable, thanks to a greater focus on synths and less on guitars, and even the band themselves have recognised that it's their most uptempo material that really ignited the crowds at their live shows.
Really, though, the most remarkable thing about 'Microshift' is that it even exists at all. A spectacular run of bad luck after 'The Hum' was released saw their 2015 North American tour falling through at the eleventh hour because of visa issues, before the Boxing Day floods that swept across Yorkshire hit MJ's north-west Leeds studio, Suburban Home, with catastrophic effect.
"When the flood happened, the idea of a new Hookworms record was way down the list of priorities," says MB, the band's bassist. "We were all more concerned about the fact that it's Matt's day job; being a producer is what he does from day to day, so the studio really is his livelihood. The things we were worrying about in the immediate aftermath were about how Matt was going to be able to make money, and whether or not he'd be able to pay his rent; the band was just something we put on the back burner for a while, and it helped that we weren't being expected to play shows or anything like that, because it was about eighteen months after 'The Hum' came out. We all helped to clear the studio out and gut it, but there was a lot of waiting around that Matt had to do, on things like insurance payments and help from his landlord, before he could even think about starting to rebuild."
That's exactly what he eventually did, though; by June 2016, Suburban Home had reopened its doors, and the queue of up-and-coming bands waiting to work with MJ was, if anything, even longer than before. It was around that same time that ideas for Hookworms began to circulate again; an EP that they'd been working on before all the upheaval was scrapped, but they resolved to make a third record as a gesture of defiance more than anything else - as concrete proof that they'd overcome the adversity they'd faced.
"We'd really missed the band."
— MJ
"We knew we wanted to start work on it straight away, as soon as we reopened the studio," explains MJ. "It was a priority for us, because we'd really missed the band. We practice every Thursday, and we don't all live in Leeds any more, so it's nice to just get everybody in the same room once a week, if nothing else. When we didn't have the studio, we basically didn't practice for six months, so we barely saw each other."
Despite considerable tumult in both the life of the band and its members, MJ can see the positives in Hookworms' enforced lay-off, which would double as the first proper break they'd taken in five years. "Everything that happened with the band leading up to the flood - the first record, the second record, signing to Domino - it all felt very much as if it happened in a row for me - I don't really see any gaps in those first five years. Once we ended up with that enforced time off, things started to happen in our personal lives, and we started to think about why it was that we started the band in the first place. Our sound engineer died, and my dad has Alzheimer's, and then he developed cancer whilst I was rebuilding the studio. Things like that really focus what it is you want to do. When the flood happened we'd been doing everything constantly for so long that we'd almost come to take it for granted. It was nice to have the space to realise that we wanted to carry on and throw ourselves back into the band for no reason other than that we enjoyed it."
Whilst MJ was in the process of rebuilding Suburban Home, the rest of the band kept themselves busy with other projects; MB, for instance, began to seriously indulge his new-found affinity for synthesizers with his XAM Duo project, which sees him collaborate with Christopher Duffin of dream-pop outfit Deadwall. Those stylings fed back into the more pointedly electronic sound of 'Microshift', as did the sensibilities that drummer JN brought with him from his own synth-driven side gig, Game Program. For MJ, though, the influence of his own musical work outside of Hookworms on 'Microshift' came more in thematic terms.
"I was going to have to work really hard on the lyrics, which I maybe hadn't in the past."
"I've worked recently with bands like Martha and The Spook School, and what I found really inspiring about them was the way that they put together really personal, political lyrics about mental health or gender politics and were able to pair them up with pop songs. I wanted to move towards that more. My vocals are much more at the front of things on this record, and that also meant that I was going to have to work really hard on the lyrics, which I maybe hadn't in the past."
With the release of 'Microshift', it seems as if Hookworms are finally putting a string of difficulties firmly behind them; if nothing else, the flood and its aftermath have clearly galvanised the group in a way that seems sure to secure their long-term future together. "I feel super hopeful," says MJ. "I always thought of of our records as being one album of ten, and I'm excited about the things we're going to do in the future. I think you can become quite normalised to the things that happen in your life, because they come unfold so gradually. It's important to remember the positives - I get to make records for a living, and my band's signed to Domino. Regardless of all the bullshit, I can't complain about any of that."
'Microshift' is out now via Domino.

Southampton University Bows to Zionist & Tory Pressure and Cancels Conference on Israel & International Law
The decision by Southampton University to cancel a conference on Israel and International Law, of all subjects, is an act of sheer cowardice. Universities have a duty, not only legally but morally, to uphold academic freedom, the cut and thrust of debate, the right to present alternative ideas to those of the mainstream.
A Police State University
It also demonstrates the hypocrisy of the state. It was less than 3 months ago that 8 journalists and cartoonists from Charlie Hebdo were murdered in their offices. World leaders, including those from the most repressive states such as Saudi Arabia and Israel, attended a march dedicated to upholding the values of freedom of speech. David Cameron also attended but that hasn't prevented his Communities Minister, the loathsome Eric Pickles from adding his (considerable) weight to the call to ban the Conference. Tory MPs have also weighed in to support the call from the misnamed Board of Deputies of British Jews and various other Zionist front groups.
The loathsome Eric Pickles MP - Called for the Conference to be Banned
The pretext is 'health and safety' because the Zionists have promised a demonstration. If Southampton University's administration cannot protect its conferences from a small demonstration then it should collectively resign and make way for those who can.
A University of Cowardice
There is an appeal later today and the Vice-Chancellor Professor Don Nutbeam will make the final decision, however it is likely to be a charade as this decision is likely to have already met with his approval. There is the promise of legal action, either in the form of judicial review or an injunction, though our judiciary are not known for their upholding of the right to academic freedom, other than when the rights of fascists such as Patrick Harrington at NE London Polytechnic some years ago, are concerned.
My own view is that we should hold a demonstration at Southampton University to ensure that the Administration is left in no doubt as to our anger.
Statement from Organisers
The March of the World Hypocrites and Tyrants 1
It is with extreme astonishment and sadness that we have to inform you that the University of Southampton has told us earlier yesterday (Monday 30 March 2015) that it intends to withdraw its permission to hold the academic conference on International Law and the State of Israel. We were told that the decision was taken on the grounds of health and safety: a number of groups may be demonstrating for or against the conference which could present risks to the safety of the participants, students and staff. The University claims that it does not have enough resources to mitigate the risks, despite a clear statement from the Police confirming that they are able to deal with the protest and ensure the security of the event.
Southampton University - Where Freedom of Speech Carries no Weight
As the law stands, the University is legally obliged to uphold freedom of speech, and - unlike in some engineering projects for example where health and safety may be the only legal obligation – the requirement of minimising risk should also fall onto the Police as the agency that is entrusted with the enforcement of the law (freedom of speech) and the provision of security. The mitigating measure should therefore include policing in addition to what the university can reasonably provide using its own security resources. We are therefore extremely dissatisfied with the risk assessment conducted by the University which seems to lack consistency; high risks remained high even when seemingly effective mitigating measures were put in place. Crucially and additionally, the risk assessment does not seem to include all possible risk mitigating measures that could be provided by the police.
A number of risks have been identified by the police but it is very clear from the Police's report that they are more than capable of policing the conference and ensuring the safety of university staff, speakers, delegates, students and property. However, instead of accepting this at face value the University decided to focus on the risks identified by the Police and ignore their statement about their ability to police the event – we were told the Police will never say in writing they are not able to police an event, in other words the University had doubts about the Police's ability to do their job of upholding the law! The university claims that the Police are not able or unwilling to become too involved because the University is 'private property', which we find astonishing. The University is a public space, it was established by a Royal Charter and it has public roles and duties including upholding freedom of speech and to that extent it should be able to resort to police assistance in order to curb security risks to enable it to fulfil its legal obligation to uphold freedom of speech. If this is not done, if commitment to safety is not undertaken by the police, freedom of speech becomes an idle worthless notion. At no point were we given an indication that the University has indeed allowed itself the time to seek viable police assistance to supplement its own resources. Additionally, and unconvincingly, the University claims that it is now too late to put proper security arrangements in place. We do not accept that in any way as there are still 18 days left before the conference.
Given the Police's confidence in providing security and given that there are other possible mitigating measures that are yet to be explored that could be put in place to minimize the risk, a decision to cancel the conference would be grossly disproportionate and therefore may well be illegal and unconstitutional. Such an action by Southampton University will severely undermine the public's confidence in the Police's and the in the University's ability to protect freedom of speech. Indeed it will have wider implications to all Universities and organisations. We feel that the manner the university communicated with the police and conducted the risk assessment shows that the security argument was used to rationalise a decision to cancel the conference that has been taken under public pressure of the Israeli Lobby. It is quite simply unbelievable that the University cannot ask the Police to handle the risk of demonstrations.
Freedom of speech inherently involves taking risks, and hence the presence of risk cannot be used to curtail it! The UK Government and many other governments have refused to give in to attempts by Islamic extremist to stop the publication of pictures of Prophet Mohammad despite serious risks of violence. The correct response by the governments was to confront and contain that violence and not to cancel the publication of these pictures by Charlie Hebdo and others.
This is a sad decision for freedom of speech and for historic Palestine (which includes what is now the Jewish State of Israel and the 1967 Occupied Territories) and ALL the people who live there.
We will explore legal emergency measures to prevent the University from cancelling the conference, to reverse its decision and to properly collaborate with the police so that the demonstrations can be managed. In addition we call for the widest and most intense public campaign possible that would urgently encourage the university to reverse its decision and which would allow the conference to go ahead.
Finally, we must make it clear that we have made several attempts to meet with the Vice Chancellor to consult him on the organisation of this conference, and to invite him to open the conference but we have never been given the opportunity to do so. On the other hand, the Vice Chancellor has met with pro-Israel representatives without ever calling us to attend meetings and we, as Professors in the University, feel disempowered and marginalised by this disrespectful behaviour.

Puede alguien explicar este error? Gracias.

A: Estás asignando un entero alpha[pos] a un puntero auxcandidate lo correcto sería asignar una dirección de memoria que es lo que se espera de un puntero:
auxcandidate = &alpha[pos];

Aquí te dejo un link que quizás te sirva para entender un poco mas de arrays y punteros y sus correspondencias o equivalencias.
Nota: el mensaje de error te dice integer porque char se traduce a un entero

A: Lo que pasa es que en esta linea auxcandidate = alpha[pos]; estas diciendo que el puntero auxcandidate que es una dirección le asignas un char, solo agrega el operador &, así auxcandidate = &alpha[pos];.

Ice Age, Pompeii Exhibits at British Museum, Propaganda at British Library Draw Crowds to Bloomsbury Area of London This Summer
Renowned for its literary associations, the Bloomsbury area of London boasts three first class cultural institutions – the British Museum, the British Library, and the Wellcome Collection – all of which are putting on a series of exhibitions, talks, tours and events which draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area this summer.
A highlight of the cultural calendar in London 2013 is the British Museum's exhibition on Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Items which have never left Italy before are included in this British Museum exhibition which continues until Sunday 29th September 2013, bringing to life the daily routine of the Romans who were caught out by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Related events include 'Up Late in Pompeii', a special late-night event on Friday 10th May 2013 which will allow visitors to have a night out in the Bay of Naples complete with Roman food and forum debates.
One of two blockbuster exhibitions currently at the British Museum, equally as intriguing as Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum is Ice Age Art which brings together sculptures, figurines and engravings made in Europe from 40,000 to 10,000 years ago, placing ancient masterpieces alongside modern works of art. The exhibition includes fascinating stone, bone and ivory sculptures and continues until Sunday 26th May 2013.
Added to these are smaller, free exhibitions including In Search of Classical Greece, on display at the British Museum's Print Room until Sunday 28th April 2013, and Bubbles and Bankruptcy Financial Crises in Britain Since 1700 which continues until Sunday 5th May 2013.
To the north of the British Museum, the British Library hosts a major summer exhibition 'Propaganda: Power and Persuasion' which begins on Friday 17th May and continues all summer long until Tuesday 17th September 2013. Among more than 200 exhibits on display are propaganda leaflets dropped on occupied territories during WWII, Nazi propaganda, posters, films, cartoons and everyday objects including bank notes and badges.
Related events include a talk by Alastair Campbell on Friday 17th May, a late-night party on Friday 7th June 2013 with music by DJs Alexis, Al and Felix (Hot Chip), a debate on 'The Art and Business of Persuasion' between advertising legend Trevor Beattie and PR guru Mark Borkowski on Monday 1st July, and an appearance by former US Presidential candidate Mike Dukakis on Tuesday 6th August.
The British Library's ongoing 'Murder in the Library: An A-Z of Crime Fiction' exhibition, which ends on Sunday 12th May 2013, indulges our addiction to detective stories and includes the original manuscript of the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Retired Colourman' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
As part of Britten 100, the London-based festival celebrating the centenary of the great composer, The British Library presents Poetry in Sound: The Music of Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) a free exhibition in The Folio Society Gallery, from Friday 31st May to Sunday 15th September 2013 exploring the poetic and literary influences on Britten's work.
Just seven minutes' walk from the British Library, The Wellcome Collection remains open to the public throughout the GBP17.5m building project which begins this summer, due to be completed in summer 2014. Improvements include creating 30 per cent more gallery space and doubling the capacity for public events as well as adding a new restaurant.
In the meantime, the Wellcome Collection's spring/summer exhibition of Japanese Outsider Art, Souzou: Outsider Art from Japan, continues until 30th June 2013, showing more than 300 works in a huge diversity of mediums by 46 Japanese artists.
Insects are celebrated in the Wellcome Collection's 'Who's the Pest' series of events in April and May including an Insects Au Gratin Installation (Tuesday 23rd April 2013 to Sunday 5th May 2013) and a debate on 'Who is more of a pest?', humans or insects?
At the Bloomsbury Theatre comedy is a strong suit and this summer is no exception. Highlights include two nights hosted by Robin Ince, best known for presenting the BBC radio show The Infinite Monkey Cage with physicist Brian Cox, on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th May, and Stand Up for Women starring Michael McIntyre and hosted by comedian James Mullinger on Monday 13th May.
In May, Olivier award-winning choreographer and director Peter Schaufuss comes to the Bloomsbury Theatre for the first time with his Hamlet inspired dance drama (15th to 24th May). And June brings the inaugural London Student Drama Festival on Wednesday 19th June, drawing on the theatrical talent at four well respected London universities (UCL, King's, SOAS, LSE).
One of the more quirky events but still very much a part of spending summer in Bloomsbury, The Chap Olympiad is a celebration of buffoonery and sporting ineptitude. While dates and details of this year's event are yet to be confirmed it typically takes place in the summer in Bedford Square Gardens, Bloomsbury.
Looking beyond summer to autumn, the Bloomsbury Festival takes place from 15th to 20th October 2013 offering an innovative arts, community and cultural programme at venues across Bloomsbury.

Tickets on Sale for BBC Proms 2013, Two-Month Music Festival in London Featuring Musical Firsts
Tickets are now on sale for the 2013 BBC Proms, a two-month festival in London featuring 92 concerts and many musical firsts including Daniel Barenboim first time conducting Wagner's Ring Cycle.
For those who want to attend the 119th BBC Proms season this summer, opening at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday, July 12. now is the time to book a London hotel.
In a series of firsts, this will be Barenboim's first time conducting Wagner and it's the first time the complete Wagner Ring Cycle will have been played at the Proms in one summer, with four concerts performed in the week beginning Monday 22nd July. Barenboim's concerts are not the only Proms events marking the 200th anniversary of Richard Wagner's birth, and there are also significant anniversaries for bicentenarian Giuseppe Verdi, and the centenary of Benjamin Britten.
The 2013 festival will be the first in Proms history to have the last night conducted by a woman. Marin Alsop, a New Yorker who has spent time in the UK including a stint as chief conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, is joined by mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, violinist Nigel Kennedy and the BBC Symphony Orchestra for the rousing Last Night of the Proms on Saturday, September 7, 2013.
It was also be the first Proms to include an 'Urban Classic Prom', to be broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, which will combine music by the German modernist Hans Werner Henze and the Soviet futurist Alexander Mosolov with performances by singers Faser, Laura Mvula and Maverick Sabre. The first BBC Radio 6 Music Prom, on Monday 12th August, will also appeal to a younger audience with Cerys Matthews, Laura Marling and The Stranglers all performing live at the Royal Albert Hall.
The 2013 season brings the first ever free main evening Prom with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and youth choirs from the UK and Ireland performing Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, also known as the 'Choral' Symphony, on Sunday, August 11, 2013.
Many well-loved Proms favourites return to the festival in 2013 including the Doctor Who Proms which makes a third visit to the Proms in the year that the BBC television celebrates 50 years on our screens. Nigel Kennedy returns and not only plays on the Last Night of the Proms for the first time but also plays at the Proms in the Park on the same night as well as playing in a Late Night performance of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons on Thursday August 8.
Leading concert pianist Stephen Hough performs on the First Night of the Proms, on Friday, July 12, when the festival opens with a 450-strong choir, and the premiere of Julian Anderson's Harmony performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Every Prom is broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 but with tickets starting from GBP5, and with such a huge variety of music to choose from, the best way to enjoy the events is by going in person to experience the unique atmosphere of the Royal Albert Hall.
Tickets are now on sale and the season opens on Friday July, 12 2013.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has warned that the digital transformation of health care will remain a pipe-dream unless nurses are involved more.
The results of a consultation led to the college warning that the NHS won't be able to realise all the benefits digital technology can bring for patients and staff until it takes better advantage of the expertise and views of nurses, who represent the largest single staff group in the health service.
Ross Scrivener, RCN eHealth lead, said: "In the past few weeks leading up to the 70th anniversary of the NHS, we've heard a succession of health care leaders arguing that the best way to transform health care in the UK is to utilise the full benefits of digital technology. But our consultation shows that that aim will remain a pipe-dream unless managers, technology providers and IT staff take more account of the views of nurses.
In response, Caron Swinscoe, NHS Digital's senior clinical lead, said: "The people on the frontline need technology to work as effectively as possible whether they are in a hospital or caring for someone in their home. The only way to ensure this happens is to involve those staff, who do the work day by day, in the design, development and implementation of digital health technology. Every nurse and midwife has something to contribute to the debate.

Today is the 70th birthday of the NHS – founded on 5th July 1948. Thousands of NHS staff are delivering world class healthcare to patients across the country, and today is the perfect opportunity to recognise their hard work and dedication.
The Prime Minister has unveiled plans for new homelessness prevention schemes, including targeted support for those at risk of sleeping rough.
David Cameron's speech to the Conservative Conference in Manchester today.


The land is barren and the farms are dry. The weather is harsh and the temperature is very high. You would think that this can mar the spirits of the locals. But no ma'am, no. You are wrong. The place beams, the buildings shine & the locals,the locals sparkle under the hot Sun with a heart of gold.
This is the city of Jaisalmer where all that shines is indeed gold.
Located at a distance of mere 286 kilometers from the blue city of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer is an old place where the Sun shines a bit brighter and the sand sparkles a lot shinier. Jaisalmer, often called as the golden city, looks like a painting that's been painted in yellow all over with occasional tinges of golden that give it a royal look.
Jaisalmer fort, the only living fort in India, is perched along the southern edge of the city and supervises the place from there like an elderly member of the family. As the day comes along, the fort changes its colors from lion-like yellow in the day to jewel-like golden after the dusk. In the evening, when the sky is engulfed in the dark and the moon peeps from the universe, the fort rises to glory under the soothing silver light of twinkling stars. It really is a sight to behold at that time.
Bharat Ratna awardee, famous filmmaker, Satyajit Ray wrote a novel set in the golden fort of Jaisalmer in the year 1971 which was later adapted to a movie titled Sonar Kella (Bengali: সোনারকেল্লা), also Shonar Kella meaning the fortress of Gold.
When you talk about Jaisalmer, the word 'Gold' always finds its way to conversations, books or movie titles because this is the city of Jaisalmer where all that shines is indeed gold.
Thar desert is probably why Jaisalmer sees so much of tourism. The vast, infinite desert of sand stretches in all directions. Many think of sand as something that's dead as no trees grow in sand and no birds frequent the desert, yet I felt very much alive in the Thar when I visited Rajasthan in the month of April, 2015. We were a group of three, crazy people, hungry for adventure. As soon as the opportunity knocked, the three of us hopped on to a jeep to do some dune bashing while our driver hurled a nugget of age old wisdom, "No hurry, No worry, Only Chicken curry".
As the jeep rolled and bobbed on the sand dunes of Sam, we giggled, laughed and chuckled till our stomachs hurt & our eyes teared. How else could we have felt livelier?
Sam sand dunes are the glossiest patch of the Thar that gleams with joy, glitters with hope & glares with abundance. And that's because this is the city of Jaisalmer where all that shines is indeed gold.
I recommend you to travel in non-peak season which is before 15th November and after 15th Feb. It brings down the cost by 50%. Also, you don't have to face a lot of crowd if you avoid peak season, and may enjoy the place in its sheer beauty.
Where to stay: there are many budget hotels in Jaisalmer where you could book a stay in advance. We stayed in Helsinki house, a Haveli-style built stay that is easy on pocket and royal on stay.
How to travel: If you can, take a road trip from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer. You would never forget it. Do not forget to visit Bullet Baba (Om Banna) Mandir (temple) on the way.
Camel and Jeep safari in Sam sand dunes before the Sun sets. That gives you enough room to negotiate & click the most beautiful pictures.
Cost tips: Camel safari costs INR 100 per person for 10 mins. (non-peak season). Jeep Safari costs INR 700 – 800 per person for half an hour (non-peak season). They will quote outrageous rates in the beginning. Prepare to negotiate for good 5 mins. – 10 mins.

Beautiful editing of the pictures. It looks straight out of Panchtantra story books. I just love the way you bring stories and facts together. They connect seamlessly.
