These Top-Funded APAC Edtech Companies Raised US$2B This Year
By Sharon Lewis
With rounds ranging from $100 million to $1 billion, here's a snapshot of 2020's most well-funded APAC edtech companies
This year has been massive for edtech platforms, accelerating a much-needed transformation in the way education is planned and delivered.
The edtech market was already expected to grow to US$252 billion by 2020, and continue to increase to $350 billion by 2025. Further, global venture capital investments in edtech reached $7 billion in 2019, reflecting a growth of 14x since 2010.
This growth can largely be attributed to the fact that while global education is a colossal industry, it has been slow to catch up with digitalization and technological intervention. COVID-19, however, changed this significantly.
The global pandemic caused schools in over 190 countries to close at its peak in April. Subsequently, this year has seen substantial amounts of money flowing into edtech startups, especially in its fastest growing regional market, Asia Pacific.
APAC edtech companies raised a total of over $1.2 billion in the first half of 2020. In the three months following, they raised an addition $1 billion, cashing in on $2.2 billion in disclosed funding so far, according to data on Crunchbase.
From this pool, nearly $2 billion was raised by six APAC edtech companies alone. Here are the biggest winners that have emerged triumphant from 2020's edtech funding spree.
Edtech companies Eruditus, Vedantu and Wanxue Education raise big tickets
Unlike its popular K-12 counterparts, Singapore-headquartered education startup Eruditus focuses on professional education programs and online certifications. The company raised $113 million in September this year, in a Series D round led by Leeds Illuminate and Prosus Ventures.
Some of the world's most elite educational institutions count as its partners, including MIT, Columbia, Harvard, Cambridge, INSEAD, Wharton, UC Berkeley, IIT, IIM, NUS and HKUST. The company's Series D round reportedly valued the company at $700 million.
In another Series D round, a similarly valued edtech startup from India raised a similar amount this year. With a valuation of $600 million, Vedantu is India's second-most valued startup after Byju's.
The edtech startup raised $100 million in Series D funding in July this year, led by U.S. tech investor Coatue. The funding came on the heels of $30 million that the company raised across two Series C tranches this year.
Interestingly, Vedantu counts Tiger Global, an investor in Byju's, as one of its backers. Tiger Global even led the company's Series A round in 2015 and a Series C round in 2019.
Another edtech platform to have raised $100 million this year is China's Wanxue Education. A 2006-founded education company based in Beijing, Wanxue Education raised the funding from Hong Kong-based private equity investor ADV Partners and Beijing-based Index Capita.
The Baidu-backed company caters to students at or above the university level, offering postgraduate training, entrance exam tutorship, and admission consulting services.
Huohua Siwei nears unicorn status
2017-founded Huohua Siwei, a Chinese edtech startup based in Beijing, raised $150 million in a Series E1 funding round led by investment top dog KKR in August this year.
The round also saw participation from notable institutional investors GGV, GSR Ventures, Longfor Capital, Sequoia China, and IDG Capital, and grew the company's funding pool to a total of $340 million.
All of the company's Series E1 investors, including lead investor KKR, are returning backers of the company. In fact, this is the second time KKR is leading a funding round for the company. Both KKR and GGV Capital had led the first tranche of Huohua Siwei's Series D round in 2019 for $85 million.
The company was reported to be nearing the close of its Series E2 round, which would take its valuation up to $1 billion, making it one of China's latest unicorns.
In addition to the fundraise, the edtech startup also announced the launch of its English tutoring solution, a learning course for children aged 3-5 years.
Huohua Siwei offers AI-enabled math education and critical thinking courses for children between the ages of 3 and 12. The company focuses on three core areas in this sphere–spatial thinking and graphics, computing power, and logical reasoning.
The company rakes in $29 million monthly revenues with over 250,000 paying students, according to its CEO and Founder Luo Jian.
Earlier in the year, Huohua Siwei had raised $30 million from Chinese video-based social media app Kuaishou as part of an ongoing Series D round.
Byju's makes headlines with a series of announcements
Byju's is the world's biggest edtech unicorn, and has become to edtech what WeWork once was to co-working. The company smashed through multiple major milestones in 2020, including a series of funding rounds and the acquisition of WhiteHat Jr for an all-cash deal.
The company was founded in 2011, although the app launched only a few years later in 2015. The India-based company kickstarted 2020 with fresh funding to the tune of $200 million from General Atlantic in February as part of an ongoing round.
At this stage, the edtech company was valued at nearly $8.2 billion with a total capital haul of around $1.3 billion.
The company had 3 million paying subscribers at the time and expected 2020 revenues to cross $400 million, twice its revenues in the previous year. Interestingly, the company had only spent about $300 billion from its capital pool as of March, saving the larger part of it for exploring markets outside India.
By April, Byju's founder Byju Raveendran had become India's youngest billionaire. The company's user base grew 3x during India's lockdown and the company eventually became one of the world's top 10 most downloaded edtech apps according to an April report, mostly on account of free app access due to the pandemic.
In Mid-2020, Byju's raised a further round of funding from global tech investment firm Bond. Although the funding amount was not disclosed, the deal valued the edtech platform at $10.5 billion, unlocking decacorn status for Byju's and making it the second most valued startup in India.
Just two months later, it raised a further $122 million at the same valuation from DST Global. The company's total capital raise for the year stood at $550 million at this point.
Byju's funding bout continued well into September, when it announced that it had received even more funding, this time from Silver Lake. While the company did not disclose the amount of funding, reports suggest that the company had raised $500 million in the Series F round.
Further, the company's user base also grew by a million new joiners within the year, taking its annual paying subscribers to 4.2 million.
Yuanfudao's $1 billion funding cheque
Yuanfudao's valuation jumped up to $7.8 billion this year after it raised what was one of the biggest funding rounds this year so far.
The 2012 founded company is an online education platform whose offerings focus on K-12 education. Yuanfudao facilitates live online tutoring from teachers across China, and the startup claims to have over a million paying users on its platform.
Overall, the company is noted to have over 400 million users and 11 teaching and curriculum development centers across China, and between January and mid-March, ranked first in-app purchases in China's education category.
Announced in the far end of March, Yuanfudao's $1 billion Series G funding round put Yuanfudao at the center of a very small group of companies that have raised such substantial amounts this year.
This includes Qingju's $1 billion venture round, GO-JEK's $1.2 billion Series F, Epic Games' $1.5 billion venture round, WM Motor's $1.5 billion Series D, and funding rounds of over $2 billion by Waymo and Ke.com.
Hong Kong-based Hillhouse Capital and Yuanfudao's existing investor Tencent led the company's funding round, with participation from Boyu Capital, IDG Capital, and Matrix Partners' China wing Matrix Partners China.
The Chinese edtech platform's Series G round is its largest fundraise yet, with earlier rounds bringing in amounts of anywhere between $7 million to $300 million, according to data on Crunchbase.
Three of the six biggest APAC edtech funding rounds noted in this article came from companies in China, an apt representation of the country's lead within edtech.
Of the world's 19 edtech unicorns, over half are based in China. Moreover, in the first half of 2020, U.S. edtech companies raised over $800 million in funding, a figure beaten single-handedly by Chinese edtech unicorn Yuanfudao's $1 billion funding round.
Its neighbor India, too, is catching up. The subcontinent recorded four times the investment inflows in its edtech sector this year, as compared to 2019, raising a total of $1.5 billion so far.
Subsequently, APAC edtech companies are well poised to maintain their lead when it comes to the burgeoning edtech market, spearheaded by developments in these two giant economies, and supported by efforts from Southeast Asia.

Oregon: Beginning of the End? Or Something Else?
Posted on January 5, 2016	by TPOL Nathan
Libertarian Commentary, 05JAN2016, #16-01D
Difficult as it is to sort through what is going on at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, after watching it for several days it appears to be a case of "too little, too early." To steal a thought from Claire Wolfe, it is NOT yet time to "shoot the b****s" and little significantly good or bad is likely to come from the situation.
The various mainstream and alternative media all seem to agree on the basics: On Saturday the 2nd of January 2016, a group of about 100 people broke off from a protest in Southeastern Oregon and went to the headquarters of a nearby National Wildlife Refuge and occupied it. The occupation was peaceful although the protesters/occupiers were openly armed. The protest was in support of two ranchers who are being returned to prison in a bizarre court case in which they were convicted and sentenced to prison for arson and poaching on Federal lands. (Their defense was that they were doing a prescribed burn on their own land and the fire got away from them, and that they were not attempting to cover up evidence of poaching which they did not do.) Apparently, a federal "appeals" court decided that their sentences were too short and added more prison time, so the men agreed to give up and return to prison. They do NOT gain from, or support the occupation.
So the protesters were really there to protest the court action and NOT to support the two ranchers, who had already decided to submit. Rather, as Ammon Bundy, one of the leaders said, the group is standing up against government "overreach" because "the people have been abused long enough… " I feel we are in a situation where if we do not do something, if we do not take a hard stand, we'll be in a position where we'll be no longer able to do so…" (WaPo)
What differs is the spin put on the story by various groups, including the media. The WaPo and the MSM in general claim (despite the facts that they report) that this was an armed takeover of a government office building; some have described it as an "armed assault" and called it "terrorism." (In the original version of the WaPo story, the WaPo listed a "related story" as one involving a man arrested for plotting an "Islamic" terrorist attack on New Year's Eve in Times Square. A very interesting comparison.) The very facts that the media (of all types) report do NOT support their headlines or claims. The building was unoccupied at the time it (or the area around it) was "occupied," and the occupiers seem to be imitating the "Occupy Wall Street" model far more than any other. Hardly "terrorists," which should be shot to kill. At the same time, too much of the alternative media seems to be reporting this as a "last stand" for the West and ranchers; as much overreaction as the MSM. Also we can see a vast difference in how the various media are reporting local reactions and response. Either the local people and authorities are in strong support or are totally opposed. (The reality seems to be in between, as discussed in this story at Freedom Outpost. After four days, even the MSM seems to be willing to point out that this is much more a protest than a rebellion, at least so far.
What is important in the spin is what is being reported and claimed as to the motives and background. Once more, the MSM (as represented by the WaPo and NYT) demonstrates that it does not understand and cannot relate to the West, or even a conservative view of limited government. As with so many things, there are many roots to this act of defiance and lawbreaking. Even the WaPo has accurately identified SOME of the issues, but is unable to interpret them in a way that makes sense.
Mama's Note: Other good non MSM articles on the subject of the Oregon situation.
The Case for Civil Disobedience in Oregon
Powder Keg Occupation of Oregon Wildlife Refuge Just Needs a Spark
Ammoland Blog
Here are some various attempts to explain things:
The WaPo tells us about the land complaints and history, as the WaPo sees them, and has some neat maps. (Most of which are not properly explained and do not relate to the situation in Eastern Oregon: indeed, some of the maps of the Dakotas seem to be intentionally misleading and even inaccurate.) The WaPo also is clearly using this incident as an opportunity to blacken ALL Westerners and anyone one "anti-government" in attitude.
Pacific Standard Magazine writes "A father and son's run-in with the law has thus become a rallying cry for armed libertarian "patriot" groups…" and has therefore already used the "standoff" as an excuse for attacking libertarians, even though (as far as I know) none of the participants have even claimed to be libertarian. The PS goes on to condemn this as vigilantism and blame it on white people who hate a black politican in the White House, while wanting "government handouts" – possession of federal lands. And blames the FedGov itself for "encouraging" and allowing settlement of Western lands starting with the Old Northwest in 1787 nearly 230 years ago.
Reactions to the protest occupation range from talking head Montel Williams (as reported by World Net Daily) calling for the National Guard and "shoot to kill" orders to deal with "hillbilly American Taliban" types, to Karl Denninger, who noted the importance of picking one's battles: "There's an old saying that I've heard many times before — if you think it's time to take a stand grab your rifle and head out the front door. If you're the only one out there it's not time." as reported at Freedom Outpost. Meanwhile, apparently SOME people are responding to the occupiers' appeal to come join them for a long-term protest (lasting years), coming from across the nation, as happened with the original Bundy confrontation in Nevada in 2014. That did not spark a general crisis; I do not believe Mahleur will either.
One of the elements which has been touched on, even by the Mainstream Media, is the religious nature of this occupation. But the response by the MSM to this is, frankly as disturbing as expected. At least part of it seems to be to lump this with the Branch Davidians and Fundamentalist "Mormonism." It is true that the LDS Church (the Salt Lake corporation) is involved in the situation, as many of the occupation organizers appear to be LDS, and some cite a person from the Book of Mormon (Nephite Captain Moroni) as their example, according to the WaPo.
The WaPo (no surprise) insults and derides the LDS hero as a "military stud-muffin," even while claiming that government officials are victims of racism. Bob Newland (a libertarian friend) told me, "The Mormon church just issued a statement: "In no way can the armed occupation of the building in Oregon be justified on a scriptural basis." Y'gotta love that, coming from the same folks who maintained until 1970 that black folks couldn't hold the priesthood because they were being punished by their skin color for sins committed before they were born. Then god [sic] told them to change scripture so that the rest of the WAC would show up to play football at BYU." (Bob, despite his biases, does exhibit a healthy skepticism for Salt Lake's actions and motives.) Neither Bob nor the WaPo thought to research LDS sensibilities on this sort of thing, much less to quote Brigham Young on the subject, however: "I do not lift my voice against the great and glorious Government guaranteed to every citizen by the Constitution, but against those corrupt administrators who trample the Constitution and just laws under their feet." LDS doctrine says that the Constitution is second only to Scripture in being inspired by God, and at least many of those at Malheur believe this. Despite Salt Lake's disavowal of their actions, the LDS General Authorities seem NOT to have disavowed the principles BEHIND the actions of the occupiers. The media (both kinds) does not understand this; the FedGov probably does not either. This is one of the dangers of the current situation.
Which brings me to my conclusion: this action, by a few dozen or even a couple of hundred men and women, in the wilds of Eastern Oregon, is too little and too early. Therefore, it is an action which will probably not have any great, significant consequences, UNLESS someone on one side or the other goes to extremes. (So far, neither side seems to be likely to do that.)
Mama's Note: I think that some small happening, whether a gun is fired by accident (negligence) on either side, or by a deliberate act of anyone – including agent provocateurs – could most certainly set this off like an atom bomb. I pray for cool heads, good trigger discipline, and the immediate eviction of agitators and stooges of every kind – from every side.
Seems to me that it is a great tragedy that religion has any part in this, since emotional conflict in that can so easily cloud the judgment of all involved. I hope everyone will be able to look at plain, hard facts and leave their emotional and religious feelings aside. Unfortunately, that's probably asking too much.
Although it is clear that the Bundys and those with them HAVE planned and prepared for this, I believe that we already can see that their plans and preparation have been inadequate. Coupled with the understanding that the very people that they are purporting to support are rejecting that support (the Hammonds), and other factors (location, timing, participation, to name a few), this makes their effort unlikely to succeed.
What little opportunity which the situation with the Hammonds may have offered seems already to have been squandered by poor communications on the part of the occupiers and this, in turn, leads me to believe that their preparation was inadequate. They have not made a good case for their actions that even the "3%" of Americans can understand and accept. They have sent mixed signals to the media, the government agencies (at all levels), and to the pubic, both locally (in Harney County), regionally (in Eastern Oregon and Washington, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada), and nationally. They have failed to response adequately (through their actions and lack of communication) to their portrayal (even by those sympathetic to them) as things that they are not: extremists, hicks, and terrorists. Surely they must have expected such claims.
They also, at least at this point, do not seem to have developed the network that would deal with the challenges they should have expected. They have not applied the lessons learned from history, and even their own religion, to the current situation. They have not taken, or prepared to take, the necessary actions to present and defend their cause: too little. They do not yet have enough key support to allow them to be anything more than a single isolated and insulated point of resistance. There is not a sufficient reservoir of anger and demand for action in the Fifty States. Not yet (too early).
Lovers of liberty should glean lessons learned as this situation develops, just as we did from Ruby Ridge, Waco, the original Bundy standoff, and the Tea Party and Occupy movements. Lessons that will need to be applied with when there is enough that can be done and the time is right.

To the above comment:
Since when is permission required? They were 'told' but decided to exercise their own free will.
Don't blame Bundy for bringing the trouble. Theirs is a response to the decades long abuses of a power mad govt. Methinks the commenter does not comprehend the implications of a long series of land and water grabs made by stalwart persons using the authority of the govt to advance their agenda. Perhaps if your lands had been swiped, water been taken, you found in contempt, you held on spurious charges, you fined capricious dollar amounts, your family subject to harassment and physical threats, you would be kinder of the Bundys and other who have experienced these things and more.
There are woefully too many cases of this same stuff all around the eleven western states. I've mentioned land and water grabs but there also the salting of the ground with Native American artifacts to stop a building project, or artificially inhabiting ephemeral pools with endangered species to again, stop a project. A 5th gen rancher fined hundreds of thousands of dollars (and threatened with incarceration) for replacing a washed out bridge without permits from all 24 govt agencies. In that case, the only site work was regarding his road bed where it approached the streambed. And he laid a flat railroad car across the stream bed. As condition, he was forced to assign right of way easement to the BLM…or face other felony charges. Oh, there are many more such cases. How much should the people tolerate?
MamaLiberty says:
How much should people tolerate? Well, none. The first step to that is to recognize that the non-voluntary government has NOTHING good to offer us. How many of those people who are abused by government go on expecting it to protect and do right – with all the evidence to the contrary? How many of those people are ready and willing to actually take care of themselves and their communities without any government handouts and perks? How many refuse to comply? I suspect that most certainly expect the government to go back to working for THEM, either ignoring or ignorant of the fact that others must be controlled and robbed/killed in order to accomplish even what they think of as the good parts…
But in fact, government has no wealth or power of its own. It can only use and abuse what is stolen from others or, tragically, given to them by foolish people who expect good from evil.
The Bundys are the problem. They were told not to come to OR and stay home BUT these ass wipes want trouble and hope that the people will be on thrie side. From what I have read, most of the people, non MSM are not on the Bundys side.
The world is full of idiots, but the Bundys are not "the problem" by any means. The Hammonds rejected the support offered, and most of the rational groups agreed to stand down. Nobody, however, had any authority to issue commands to anyone to stay away. I don't at all agree with the takeover of the fed facility, simply because it is not going to produce any rational results, but Bundy and his friends have every right to make fools of themselves if that's what happens. They have not harmed anyone, or even threatened anyone. They have stated plainly that they will not intentionally fire the first shots, if any are fired. I just wish the Bundy bunch would recognize the agents provocateur among them and stop allowing themselves to be used by the statists.
They have harmed, they took over a federal facility.

Seven Worlds One Planet Best Of
2019 Nature
The most spectacular moments from the Seven Worlds, One Planet series that highlights the incredible rich and wonderful diversity of life found on our planet's seven unique continents. Millions of years ago incredible forces ripped apart the Earth's crust creating our seven continents - each with its own distinct climate, its own distinct terrain and its own unique animal life. Narrated by David Attenborough.
Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving.
Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families.
The Surveillance State
Frequent security expos feature companies like Megvii and its facial- recognition technology. They show off cameras with A.I. that can track cars, and identify individuals by face, or just by the way they walk. In China it's been projected that over 600 million cameras will be deployed by 2020. Here, they may be used to discourage jaywalking, but they also serve to remind people that the state is watching. Matching with the most advanced artificial intelligence algorithm, they can actually use this data, real-time data, to pick up a face or pick up a action.
A.I. is a technology that can be used for good and for evil. So, how do governments limit themselves in, on the one hand, using this A.I. technology and the database to maintain a safe environment for its citizens, but not to encroach on a individual's rights and privacies?

Formule X ist eine Abschuss-Stahlachterbahn des Herstellers Maurer AG im Freizeitpark Drievliet Family Park bei Den Haag in den Niederlanden. Für den Park gibt es eine Höhenbeschränkung auf maximal 15 Meter, daher ist dies gleichzeitig die maximale Höhe der Achterbahn. Sie beschleunigt von 0 auf 70 km/h in 2 Sekunden und bietet eine Fahrtzeit von 47 Sekunden. Die Besonderheit sind die Wagen der Bahn. Im von Maurer eigenständig entwickelte X-Car, welches erstmals auf dem Sky Wheel zum Einsatz kam, werden die Fahrgäste lediglich durch einen Beckenbügel gesichert. Durch die ergonomische Form der Sitze können jedoch problemlos Überkopfelemente durchfahren werden. Zwei dieser neuartigen Wagen sind auf der Achterbahn in Betrieb, was eine Kapazität von 650 Personen pro Stunde ermöglicht.

Die Fahrt
Die Wagen bestehen aus sechs Sitzen, jeweils zwei auf drei Reihen verteilt. Nach Verlassen der Station rollt der Wagen in Richtung Abschuss. Dieser ist ein 22 Meter langer LSM-Antrieb, welcher die Fahrgäste in zwei Sekunden von 0 auf 70 km/h beschleunigt. Das erste Element ist ein speziell für die Achterbahn entworfener Looping. Hier wird er Sidewinder genannt, da die Einfahrt schräg angesetzt ist und nicht wie bei einem normalen Looping gerade. Darauf folgt eine Steilkurve, die direkt in einen Camelback mündet, welcher sehr flach ausfällt und daher Airtime bietet. Der Wagen macht nun einen Linksknick und die Schiene hebt sich an, um parallel zur Station eine Heartline-Roll zu passieren, in der es sogenannte Hangtime gibt. Die Passagiere hängen also kopfüber in den Bügeln. Nach einer weiteren geneigten Linkskurve dreht sich der Wagen in eine überneigte Rechtskurve, die die Fahrgäste fast auf den Kopf stellt. Vor der Schlussbremse folgt noch ein kleiner Bunnyhop.

Sie ist baugleich mit Crazy Car in Happy Valley, Wuhan.

Sterling silver bangle textured with reticulation technique.
Distressed wouldn't be a good word to describe this bracelet, it's completely damaged by fire and heat and its original round cut is changed to twig style shape. But it is still very sturdy and durable without any weakening to its structure.
Made with wire and heat only, completely handmade, no prefabricated parts or textures.
Which makes it approx. size medium.
This is heavier than average bangle (15.4 grams).

Power to the Crowd - How are you engaging your employees, customers, supplier and partners?
A utility company client was tasked with growing their collaborative innovation program with limited budget. Another client had considerable budget but was daunted by the management effort which might be required in developing a program of collaborative innovation which scaled.
My advice to both was, think daisies, not orchids. Orchids require excessive amounts of care and maintenance and are more analogous to a corporation's notion of tight control. It is one that fails to promote intrapreneurship. Daisies by contrast require little more than fertile soil.
Therefore, consider creating a fertile environment. Of course enable the official sponsors of innovation to form communities (perhaps aligned with a line of business or company practice). But also allow for "rogue communities"; communities which are formed by budding innovators who have a passion and would like to explore it with others that share that passion. These rogues are your intrapreneurs and seek official sponsorship.
Of course, we don't recommend allowing just anyone to form a rogue community. The right to form a rogue community is earned by valued participation in an official community. In short, an official community propagates rogue communities which, if they deliver value or show promise, can earn sponsorship and become an official community.
However, as some platforms cannot accommodate true communities, we should describe the attributes of a true community. A community is formed around a common interest. Prescribed communities might align with the silos of an organization such as a line of business. For example in insurance that might be property casualty, auto and life. A community might align with a practice which cuts across the silos. Again in an insurance company, that might be underwriting. But communities can form around many other common interests; a client, a process, a technology, etc. Regardless, they gather to promote a common purpose.
On-line communities should generate activity which promotes their common purpose. They may schedule regular presentations, post meeting notes, share scholarly articles, have on-line discussions, ask questions of the community and of course, run on-line innovation challenges where they can seriously collaborate in addressing a problem or opportunity aligned with their community. It is important to note that communities go beyond ideation and can be a valuable source of resources needed to commercialize an idea.
Each community should have a leader or leaders. An official community is led by an executive sponsor who has budget and resources. A rogue community is led by a passionate innovator seeking to create value for the company by focusing on their area of interest. They are seeking official sponsorship.
Community leaders need to have control over their space. They need to be able to share or hide a view of their community with other communities. They need to be able to engage their members with little more than training and guidance as provided by the managers (the Innovation Management Team) of the overall on-line platform (the Innovation Management System).
As suggested above, the Innovation Management Team (IMT) can be small because it is not controlling every aspect of what occurs in communities and is instead promoting viral propagation as with daisies and not labor intensive cultivation as with orchids.
The IMT is therefore enabling the formation of communities, providing training and guidance, setting expectations and measuring value created. Communities, particularly rogue communities, are expected to generate a certain level of activity and in the longer term, value. The IMT measures the activity to ensure the community has not died. Dead communities, like dead underbrush, need to be cleared out so as not to choke the innovation program. Value created, needs to be measured and reported because it proves the significant Returns on Investment which can be generated by an approach which promotes your rogues, your intraperenuers, your daisies.

SMEs are important engines of economic growth and employment throughout the European Union. However, they are also substantial contributors to environmental pollution. Judging by a questionnaire sent by the European Commission to the Member States, SMEs make a collective contribution of around 50% to pollution and waste in the EU. Thanks to the presence of BAT-studies, SMEs do have up-dated information on all Best Available Technologies for in-process applications and end-of-pipe treatment. Nevertheless, there still seems to be a discrepancy between the amount of technological innovation and the penetration rate of new technologies into SMEs due to financial, technical, regulatory or staff restraints.
The overall aim of PRODESTS is to stimulate technology development by European environmental SMEs and technology demonstration at SME users to increase their commitment in future related Integrated Projects within the 6th Framework Programme.
PRODESTS wants to provide new business opportunities to European SMEs in the area of environmental technologies by providing easier access to European funding in the area of technology development and demonstration.
The understanding of what are the new and emerging technologies and translating these into EU funded projects will lead to economic benefits for SMEs. PRODESTS wants to deliver solutions for environmental technology users and to link environmental technologies suppliers with new market opportunities.
The outcome of the project will give concrete results about the benefits of integration of economic advantages into environmental issues considering the legal, administrative, financial and organisational aspects. The results of the study will direct SMEs to implement economically beneficial pollution prevention strategies in their company policies.
PRODESTS aims at the set-up of a market-oriented methodology for joining SMEs within Integrated EU Research Projects on Innovative Clean and Environmental Technologies. 27 Partners, spread over 17 European Countries, work together to join forces towards the stimulation of introduction of environmentally friendly technologies at SME scale.

Mariano Rivera Faithful in God's Plan After Possible Career-Ending Injury; Praying for Next Move
By Christine Thomasos, Christian Post Reporter | Friday, May 04, 2012
Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees closer and 12-time All-Star, tore his ACL and meniscus Thursday night before his team played Kansas City. Some observers have questioned whether Rivera will have to retire, but the Christian baseball star has said he is not questioning the Lord's plan.
Rivera, 42, tore his ACL while shagging the ball before the team's game on Thursday. While attempting to catch fly balls in the outfield, Rivera's footing caused him to fall and hit a wall in the Kansas City, Mo., arena.
The result was an injury that some have speculated could end his career. Alex Rodriguez, Rivera's teammate, spoke about his difficulty watching a teammate get injured.
"I saw it all go down. It's hard even to talk about it tonight," Rodriguez said in an NPR report. "I mean, Mo has meant so much to us on a personal level, and his significance on the field, on the mound. But the bottom line is we're the New York Yankees, and nobody is going to feel sorry for us."
Still, Rivera was teary-eyed when speaking to reporters after the game. He admitted that he did not initially know how bad his injury was.
"I got myself between the grass and the dirt, couldn't pull my leg up and twisted it," Rivera told reporters. "I thought it wasn't that bad. I was walking a little bit, but it's torn."
Instead of rushing into the decision of undergoing immediate surgery, Rivera told reporters that he wanted to stay with his team and pray about the situation.
"I just want to think and pray a little bit before I make any decisions. I want to stay for the team, just want to be here for the guys," Rivera said. " (I want to) make sure the guys are okay. It's not an easy situation but we've been through this before and (are being) tested one more time."
Despite speculation concerning the possibility of Rivera's injury ending his career, the closer said he had faith in God's plan.
"No, I never will second guess that or question the Lord," Rivera said while blinking back tears. "It happened for a reason and you just have to deal with it."
Rivera is considered one of the best closers in baseball and leads the MLB in saves. However, he said he does not know when, or if, he will ever pitch again after his recent injury.

Andrij Andrijowytsch Kljestow (, englische Transkription: Andrey Klestov; * 14. Oktober 1997 in Donezk) ist ein ukrainischer Billardspieler, der vorrangig in der Billardvariante Russisches Billard antritt.

Der Jugendweltmeister von 2014 wurde bislang fünfmal ukrainischer Meister und erreichte 2019 das Finale des Kremlin Cup. Er spielt auch Poolbillard und Snooker.

Leben
Andrij Kljestow wurde 1997 in Donezk geboren. Aufgrund des Kriegs in der Ostukraine zog seine Familie 2014 nach Saporischschja, wo er ein Jahr später die Schule beendete. Seit 2015 lebt er in Kiew, wo er an der Nationalen Taras-Schewtschenko-Universität studierte.

Sein Vater Andrij S. Kljestow spielt ebenfalls Billard.

Er ist seit 2021 mit Anna Kljestowa (geb. Kotljar) verheiratet, die er bei Billardturnieren in Kiew kennenlernte.

Karriere

Russisches Billard
Andrij Kljestow kam durch seinen Vater, der ihn gelegentlich zum Billardspielen mitnahm, zum Billard und nahm ab 2009 regelmäßig an den ukrainischen Jugendmeisterschaften im Russischen Billard teil. Seine ersten Podestplatzierungen erreichte er 2012, als er in den Disziplinen Dynamische Pyramide und Kombinierte Pyramide den dritten Rang belegte. Im selben Jahr erzielte er auch seine ersten Achtungserfolge im Erwachsenenbereich. So erreichte er bei einem Turnier des ukrainischen Pokals das Viertelfinale und bei der ukrainischen Freie-Pyramide-Meisterschaft das Achtelfinale. Im Dezember 2012 gewann er in Donezk den Hermes Open Cup, nachdem er unter anderem Oleksandr Bojko besiegt hatte.

Anfang 2013 gewann Kljestow durch einen 4:0-Finalsieg gegen Serhij Kowalenko die Meisterschaft der Oblast Donezk in der Kombinierten Pyramide. Im Oktober 2013 spielt er erstmals bei der Freie-Pyramide-Jugendweltmeisterschaft mit, blieb dort aber sieglos. Im selben Jahr gewann er zudem erstmals den ukrainischen Jugendpokal.

Nachdem er in der Dynamischen Pyramide im Halbfinale ausgeschieden war, wurde Kljestow im Juli 2014 ukrainischer Jugendmeister im Triathlon und in der Kombinierten Pyramide. Wenig später zog er bei der Kombinierte-Pyramide-Jugend-WM ins Halbfinale ein und unterlag dem Kirgisen Tschyngys Dscholotschijew (2:5). Im September 2014 schied er bei der nationalen Jugendmeisterschaft in der Freien Pyramide im Semifinale gegen Maksym Ossytschnjuk (3:5) aus. Zwei Wochen später gelang ihm im Viertelfinale der Jugend-WM gegen Ossytschnjuk die Revanche (6:0). Kljestow zog schließlich ins Finale ein und wurde durch einen 6:3-Sieg gegen den Belarussen Uladsislau Kurta Jugendweltmeister. Wenige Tage später wurde er zum ersten Mal ukrainischer Meister bei den Erwachsenen, nachdem er im Endspiel der Freie-Pyramide-Meisterschaft Pawlo Radionow mit 6:2 besiegt hatte. Zuvor war er nie über das Achtelfinale hinaus gekommen. Im November spielte er seine erste Weltmeisterschaft bei den Erwachsenen, die Freie-Pyramide-WM 2014, bei der er nach einer 3:5-Auftaktniederlage gegen den späteren Turniersieger Serghei Krîjanovski sein zweites Vorrundenspiel gegen Bolorkhuu Erdene mit 5:1 gewann, bevor er knapp gegen Sergei Goryslawez (4:5) ausschied. Ende des Jahres gewann er erneut den ukrainischen Jugendpokal.

Im Juli 2015 erzielte Kljestow mit einem dritten Platz sein bis dahin bestes Ergebnis im ukrainischen Pokal. Im September 2015 gewann er durch einen 4:3-Finalsieg gegen Ihor Lytowtschenko die Meisterschaft der Oblast Kiew in der Dynamischen Pyramide.  Bei den nationalen Meisterschaften der Jugendlichen war er 2015 in der Dynamischen Pyramide Dritter geworden und Zweiter im Triathlon. Bei der Freie-Pyramide-Jugend-WM 2015 schied Kljestow als Titelverteidiger bereits in der Vorrunde aus, nachdem er das entscheidende Vorrundenspiel gegen Artjom Balow verloren hatte. Im Oktober 2015 nahm Kljestow erstmals am Savvidi Cup teil, dem am höchsten dotierten Turnier im Russischen Billard, und gelangte dort bis ins Achtelfinale, nachdem er unter anderem den zweimaligen Weltmeister Jewgeni Stalew besiegt hatte. In der Runde der letzten 16 unterlag er dem Russen Dmitri Storoschenko (2:5). Wenige Tage später gewann er im Finale gegen Jurij Smyrnow (5:2) die Meisterschaft der Oblast Kiew in der Freien Pyramide. Nachdem er bei der ukrainischen Freie-Pyramide-Meisterschaft als Titelverteidiger im Achtelfinale gegen Wolodymyr Perkun ausgeschieden war, schied er bei der Freie-Pyramide-WM 2015 mit einer 3:7-Auftaktniederlage gegen Nikita Liwada, den Weltmeister von 2013, aus.

Anfang 2016 zog Kljestow im ukrainischen Pokal erstmals ins Endspiel ein und verlor nur knapp gegen Wladyslaw Kossohow (5:6). Im weiteren Verlauf des Jahres wendete er sich verstärkt dem Poolbillard zu, gewann im Russischen Billard aber dennoch einige kleinere Turniere in Kiew. Sein bestes Ergebnis auf nationaler Ebene war in diesem Jahr das Erreichen des Achtelfinales bei der ukrainischen Freie-Pyramide-Meisterschaft. Im November 2016 nahm er erstmals am Kremlin Cup in Moskau teil und erreichte dort die Runde der letzten 64. Zwei Wochen später erreichte er bei den Lviv Open das Halbfinale. Beim Finalturnier des ukrainischen Pokals 2016 schied er im Achtelfinale aus.

Im Februar 2017 gewann Kljestow durch einen 5:3-Finalsieg gegen Wladyslaw Prochorenko die ukrainische Studentenmeisterschaft in der Freien Pyramide. Im März gelang ihm sein erster Turniersieg im ukrainischen Pokal, als er im Finale des Auftaktturniers 2017 Jurij Smyrnow mit 7:5 besiegte. Zwei Wochen später erreichte er bei den UBA Open das Halbfinale und verlor gegen den späteren Turniersieger Wolodymyr Perkun. Im Mai erreichte er beim Moskauer Bürgermeisterpokal die Runde der letzten 64. Im August 2017 wurde Kljestow zum zweiten Mal nationaler Meister, als er sich im Finale der ukrainischen Dynamische-Pyramide-Meisterschaft mit 6:2 gegen Bohdan Rybalko durchsetzte. Ende des Jahres schied er beim Finalturnier des ukrainischen Pokals erneut im Achtelfinale aus.

Innerhalb von zwei Wochen gelangen Kljestow im Februar 2018 drei Turniersiege. Zunächst gewann er die Meisterschaft der Oblast Kiew in der Kombinierten Pyramide. Anschließend gewann er zum ersten Mal die ukrainische Kombinierte-Pyramide-Meisterschaft, nachdem er im Finale Wolodymyr Perkun mit 6:5 besiegt hatte. Zuletzt gelang ihm bei der ukrainischen Studentenmeisterschaft in der Freien Pyramide mit einem 6:3-Sieg im Endspiel gegen Jurij Smyrnow die Titelverteidigung. Im April 2018 erreichte er zum ersten Mal das Achtelfinale einer Weltmeisterschaft. Bei seiner ersten Teilnahme an der Dynamische-Pyramide-WM besiegte er Kairat Ongonussow und Vasif Məmmədov, bevor er in der Runde der letzten 16 dem späteren Finalisten Iossif Abramow mit 2:6 unterlag. Wenig später erreichte er beim Bürgermeisterpokal in Moskau die Runde der letzten 32 und gewann im Endspiel gegen Wolodymyr Perkun (16:6) den UBA-Pokal 2018. Bei der ukrainischen Meisterschaft in der Dynamischen Pyramide gelang ihm 2018 nach seinem Vorjahressieg erneut der Finaleinzug, diesmal musste er sich jedoch Oleksandr Istomin mit 5:7 geschlagen geben. Beim ukrainischen Pokal in der Kombinierten Pyramide erreichte er das Halbfinale und beim Savvidi Cup 2018 zog er ins Viertelfinale ein, in dem er dem Usbeken Nodirbek Mirzayev nur knapp mit 4:5 unterlag. Im November 2018 erreichte er bei der Freie-Pyramide-WM die Runde der letzten 32, in der er gegen Oleg Jerkulew (0:7) verlor. Ende des Jahres gewann er durch einen 7:6-Sieg im Finale gegen Artur Piwtschenko erstmals den ukrainischen Pokal in der Freien Pyramide.

Nachdem er bei der ukrainischen Kombinierte-Pyramide-Meisterschaft 2019 als Titelverteidiger im Achtelfinale gegen seinen Nachfolger Mykyta Homenjuk (0:5) ausgeschieden war, gewann Kljestow im Februar 2019 im Endspiel gegen Danylo Howtwa (7:6) zum dritten Mal in Folge die ukrainische Studentenmeisterschaft in der Freien Pyramide. Kurz darauf erreichte er bei der Kombinierte-Pyramide-WM das Sechzehntelfinale und verlor mit 5:6 gegen Vladimir Reyes. Im März 2019 gewann er durch einen 5:2-Finalsieg gegen Jurij Smyrnow die Elite Profi Open in Winnyzja. Beim Moskauer Bürgermeisterpokal 2019 erreichte er das Achtelfinale. Bei der Freie-Pyramide-WM 2019 gelangte er in die Runde der letzten 32 und verlor nur knapp gegen Jauhen Saltouski (5:6). Ende August 2019 zog er bei der ukrainischen Dynamische-Pyramide-Meisterschaft zum dritten Mal in Folge ins Endspiel ein und sicherte sich durch einen 6:5-Sieg gegen Wladyslaw Denyssow zum zweiten Mal den Titel. Zwei Wochen später gewann er im Finale gegen Wolodymyr Perkun mit 6:2 erstmals den ukrainischen Pokal in der Kombinierten Pyramide. Kurz darauf erzielte er seinen bis dahin größten internationalen Erfolg, als er beim Kremlin Cup in Moskau ins Finale einzog, nachdem er unter anderem Vladimir Reyes, Pawlo Radionow und Jauhen Saltouski besiegt hatte. Im Endspiel musste er sich jedoch dem zweimaligen Weltmeister Iossif Abramow mit 1:5 geschlagen geben. Beim Savvidi Cup 2019 folgte hingegen in der Runde der letzten 48 gegen Wolodymyr Perkun ein frühes Aus.

Im Januar 2020 fand im belarussischen Hrodna das Auftaktturnier der Baltic Pyramid League statt. Durch einen 5:1-Finalsieg gegen Uladsislau Bulyka gewann Kljestow dieses Turnier. Im Februar 2020 musste sich Kljestow bei der ukrainischen Studentenmeisterschaft in der Freien Pyramide nach drei Meistertiteln in Folge nun im Halbfinale Wladyslaw Denyssow mit 4:5 geschlagen geben. Wenig später erreichte er beim Heraldic Cup das Halbfinale. Im Juli 2020 wurde Kljestow zum zweiten Mal ukrainischer Meister in der Kombinierten Pyramide, als er im Finale Bohdan Schuhalej mit 6:4 besiegte. Es war sein insgesamt fünfter nationaler Meistertitel. Im weiteren Verlauf des Jahres erreichte er unter anderem das Halbfinale beim Vertical Cup und dreimal das Endspiel; beim Star-Turnier verlor er gegen Mykyta Homenjuk (1:5), beim Imperial-Pokal gegen Wladyslaw Wolyk (3:4) und beim Finalturnier des UBA-Pokals gegen Dmytro Biloserow (9:10).

Anfang 2021 schied Kljestow bei den ukrainischen Meisterschaften in der Kombinierten Pyramide und in der Dynamischen Pyramide im Achtelfinale aus. Daneben gewann er 2021 zwei kleinere Turniere in Kiew und erreichte bei den Odessa Open die Runde der letzten 32, in der er dem Weltmeister Jernar Tschimbajew mit 1:4 unterlag.

Zu Beginn des Jahres 2022 gewann Kljestow durch einen 7:1-Finalsieg gegen Illja Nepejpiwo das dritte Turnier des UBA-Pokals 2022/23 und zog beim Auftaktturnier des ukrainischen Pokals in der Kombinierten Pyramide ins Endspiel ein, in dem er Oleh Haluschko mit 4:6 unterlag.

Poolbillard
Nachdem er bei der Kiewer Stadtmeisterschaft 2016 im 14/1 endlos den dritten Platz erreicht hatte, erzielte Kljestow im März 2016 seinen bis dahin größten Erfolg im Poolbillard, als er durch einen Finalsieg gegen Witalij Pazura (100:77) den ukrainischen Pokal im 14/1 endlos gewann. Einen Monat später spielte er in Minsk zum ersten Mal bei einem Turnier der Baltic Pool League mit und verpasste nur knapp den Einzug ins Achtelfinale. Im Sommer 2016 gelangte er beim ukrainischen 9-Ball-Pokal ins Endspiel, musste sich diesmal jedoch Witalij Pazura (0:8) klar geschlagen geben. Ende des Jahres erreichte er beim 14/1-endlos-Wettbewerb der ukrainischen Meisterschaft 2016 das Viertelfinale.

Beim ukrainischen 14/1-endlos-Pokal 2018 erreichte er das Halbfinale und verlor gegen Danylo Kaljajew. Im Dezember 2019 gewann Kljestow seine erste Medaille bei der nationalen Meisterschaft, als er im 14/1 endlos das Halbfinale erreichte, in dem er dem späteren ukrainischen Meister Danylo Kaljajew mit 5:75 unterlag. Wenige Tage später erreichte er beim 9-Ball-Wettbewerb das Viertelfinale und verlor nur knapp gegen den späteren Turniersieger Witalij Pazura (5:6). Ein Jahr später trat er lediglich im 14/1 endlos an und scheiterte in der Vorrunde.

Snooker
Im Snooker nahm Kljestow 2008 mit 11 Jahren erstmals an der ukrainischen Meisterschaft der Erwachsenen teil und schied mit einem Sieg aus drei Spielen in der Vorrunde aus. In den folgenden Jahren spielte er nur vereinzelt einige kleinere Snookerturniere. Bei seiner zweiten Teilnahme an der nationalen Meisterschaft im Jahr 2016 erreichte er die Runde der letzten 32, in der er gegen Witalij Pazura (1:3) verlor. Im Juli 2018 zog er bei der ukrainischen Meisterschaft der U21-Junioren ins Endspiel ein, in dem er Julian Bojko mit 0:2 unterlag. Im Mai 2019 belegte er bei der Kiewer Stadtmeisterschaft den dritten Rang, nachdem er im Halbfinale gegen Julian Bojko (2:3) ausgeschieden war.

Protesters at Dalhousie University on Dec. 19 demand the expulsion of 'DDS Gentlemen 'dentistry students (Yalitsa Riden/Twitter published in Toronto Sun)
A Facebook group called the Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen might sound respectable. It was anything but. This was a site of sexually-explicit and violent discussions, many of which were directed against the female colleagues of those Dalhousie dentistry students who were part of this group.
Since the contents of the misogynistic Facebook page have become known, Dalhousie University is scrambling to figure out how best to respond. Currently the 13 'DDS Gentlemen' involved are suspended from clinical practice and will attend classes separately from other students.
One of the approaches being considered to further address the issue is a restorative justice (RJ) approach. In a RJ process, victims and offenders meet to discuss the offence and the impacts it has had on them. Importantly, victims get to express not only how they have been effected, but also how they think the offenders should be punished.
Nova Scotian lawyer Danny Graham says this situation is an ideal opportunity for a restorative justice approach since it could address underlying issues like sexism and rape culture on university campuses. Similarly, Gerald Hashey, a senior manager with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, says the restorative justice process will "keep close to heart the interests of the female students and the general public."
However, there are concerns that a restorative justice approach, in which the victims must be in the same room as the offenders, could re-victimize the women and trigger painful emotions.
Recently, a group of fourth-year female students who were the subject of some of the offensive Facebook posts wrote an open letter to the president of the Dalhousie saying that they are being forced by the university to accept a restorative justice approach. They have been told their choice is either this or a formal process in which they would be publicly named.
The fact that these women are so fearful of being publicly named is telling. Like any other victims of sexual assault and harassment, they know they could face backlash not only from the male students but also from the broader community. They know this scandal could follow them for years and damage their social and professional reputations. Yet they were victimized simply because they are women and are Dalhousie dentistry students. This fear of shaming needs to be addressed as much, if not more so, than the misogyny of the male students.
The restorative justice process is meant to empower victims, ensure that their voices are heard, and give them a supported, not shamed, position. But the women at Dalhousie say they feel silenced by the university and coerced to participate.
Victims should never be forced into a restorative justice approach, especially victims of sexual violence.
By failing to ensure that the victims actually want to participate in a restorative justice approach, the university is undermining its potential to empower the women directly impacted. There is a risk that this particular RJ process at Dalhousie could backfire. This could jeopardize future RJ processes in Canada since, across the country, people are watching most closely.
What do you think? Is RJ appropriate for this situation at Dalhousie?
Resources on the use of restorative justice in cases of sexual violence and abuse can be found on Restorative Justice Online.

When Good Things Happen to Good People: The Return of Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan's story is one of the rare times in WWE where the script and reality of wrestling came together to make something special, a real honest to goodness Wrestlemania moment.
And what a moment it was: The final shot of Wrestlemania 30 with Daniel Bryan standing triumphant over two opponents with arms pumping up and down to a chorus of "Yes!" chants.
I wasn't part of the "YES!" movement. I hadn't followed the trials and tribulations of Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan as he journeyed through the indies to WWE and back again. I had been watching RAW and seen that fans were really, really behind the guy and I knew that him losing the Royal Rumble match had caused Mick Foley to smash his TV, but I didn't know just how good it was going to feel watching him hoist those two belts over his head.
To be clear: It felt really, really good.
Contrasting that goodness was the genuine empathy that I felt watching Bryan endure set back after set back, both in the ring and out of it, before ultimately retiring ltwo years ago after losing his medical clearance to compete in the WWE.
Say what you want about pro-wrestling (sorry, sports entertainment) as being fake, but watching a man give up his dreams in front of a live audience is as real as it gets.
The conspiracy theories, the fan theories, the accusations of the WWE "holding Bryan back" flooded the internet. The same people that were sick of being force fed Roman Reigns saw their hero, the guy they chose, laid low and they wanted a villain to blame. But Bryan carried on. He took the role of Smackdown General Manager, got married to fellow WWE Superstar Brie Bella and had a kid, and continued to dream. Time moved on, fans accepted that they would never see Bryan wrestle again, but that he was healthy and happy and that would have to be enough.
Cue the announcement this Tuesday that Daniel Bryan had been medically cleared to wrestle by the WWE and its doctors. I am honestly choked up just thinking about it. Watching the same guy that gave up his dream in front of an audience of millions announce that the same dream was alive again was nothing short of amazing.
There are writers, podcasters and fans everywhere discussing dream matches for Daniel Bryan. But you know what I bet? I bet every match is a dream match right now. I bet taking that powerbomb on the ring apron this past Tuesday, the one that made us all cringe, felt to Bryan like walking in the door of a five-star hotel room and jumping on the bed. I bet that when he got to the back, past the curtain, past the Gorilla position and saw the faces of his peers looking down on him (he was on a stretcher after all) Daniel Bryan saw nothing but dream matches.
Because his dream was alive again.
Every now and then, professional wrestling gets it right. Yes, it can be dumb, brutal, trashy, low-brow – take your pick. But give me one Daniel Bryan comeback moment and you can have all the high brow, "real" entertainment in the world and keep it. I'll be here on my couch with tears in my eyes and my index fingers in the sky chanting: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

I've been surprised. I really did think this series of X Factor was going to be one huge inevitable fail.
I never thought the programme could recover from the embarrassment which was the 2015 series with a poor judging panel, terrible presenters (if you recall they ditched Dermot and hired Olly Murs and Caroline Flack), and the contestants lacked personality.
When ITV revealed it was the new home of The Voice (so possibly their new big music talent show) then I thought that this year really would be it. ITV were contracted to one more year of X Factor which is this series, then I assumed it would be axed.
Matt Terry, the winner of the 2016 X Factor. He is on Twitter here!
But surprise surprise, the programme I have to admit has been amazing- brilliant production values, set, lighting, choreography, story telling, audience engagement, building of characters. It has been brilliant TV (I say this after making entertainment programmes for ITV for ten years).
I really think that this years X Factor has been one of the best 'come backs' I've seen in a TV show of this nature. It is just throwaway TV to entertain us, and they are not saving lives, but as a TV Producer I think when a television programme that was destined to flop managed to turn things around I feel it's worth mentioning.
More TV show opinion- 'What's wrong with Gogglebox'?
It's worth mentioning that credit to Dermot to go back to do a show that sacked him (if his ego ruled his head he would've said no- I worked with Dermot on his first TV show and he has an excellent attitude) and how hopeless Sharon Osbourne is with reading out the shortest links (again, namedropping, I worked with her daughter Kelly on 'I'm a Celebrity' and presenting was not her forte either).
Saara was an amazing contestant and really did have the x Factor.
Goodness knows how much they raised the production budget this year to pull it off (maybe Simon dipped into reserves), but they have certainly set the bar high for themselves in 2017.

Face mask ban won't cool things down: Ronny Tong
Executive councillor Ronny Tong has expressed doubt on whether an anti-mask law will be able to do much to cool the current crisis in Hong Kong.
He said it may be better to wait and see what comes out of the dialogue sessions between the government and the public before making a decision.
Reacting to renewed calls from pro-government politicians for an anti-mask law to stop protesters from concealing their identities, Tong said such a move would not be as simple as it seems.
The barrister said there is a wide spectrum to be considered about the implementation of such a law, from enabling law enforcement officers to request the removal of the masks, to ten years imprisonment as per Canadian law. "So exactly what kind of anti-mask law do we need?" he asked.
"There is also the issue of enforcement," he said. "You need to consider if the prohibition applies to illegal assemblies or applies to lawful assemblies. Now if it does apply to lawful assembly, and if there are tens of thousands of people attending the lawful assembly but wearing masks, do you arrest them all, or what do you do?"
Tong said the law can be brought in quickly under emergency laws, although he is against invoking that provision.
But the executive councillor told RTHK's Janice Wong that he sees very little chance of an anti-mask law passing through Legco in the current political atmosphere.

We'd motored into country South Australia to celebrate my wife Val's brother-in-law's 70th birthday party. It was to be a big bash with more than 100 family and friends taking over the very small country town's hall.
We stayed in the larger nearby town (which was an old copper mining town in the late 1800s) and while unpacking the wagon, I discovered that I'd accidentally carefully packed my Garrett Ace 250 detector. Fortunately it was accompanied by my boots and a couple of hand tools.We had an hour and a half to spare so I sought consent from the boss for a quick swing before getting ready for brother-in-law Barry's party.
With the okay I was off like a shot to a nearby oval. I reasoned that I could hunt for modern coins in the city anytime so I would try and find some old ones here. The Garrett Ace falsed a fair bit due to the soil's high mineralisation and the machine's fixed ground balance didn't help so I turned down the sensitivity. I went along slowly and picked out stronger repeatable signals.

Earthquake Domino Effect Revisited
by Tony Elliott
April 12, 2011 23:24 EDT
In a revisit to my article" 8.9 Quake Sets earthquake Domino Effect In Motion" in which I present the evidence that a single quake of large magnitude will set off other large quakes and volcano eruptions shortly after the initial event. Many earthquakes above magnitude 6.0 have occurred in the world and volcano eruptions have also happened since the now upgraded to 9.0 Japan quake struck Honshu Island 3/11/1.
Within hours two volcanoes erupted in Kamchatka, Russia, one in Indonesia, Shinmoedake volcano resumed eruption after a brief quiet period.
The following is a list of quakes, which have occurred in the world since the 9.0 on 4/11/2011.
Magnitude 6.6 EASTERN HONSHU, JAPAN April 11, 2011
Magnitude 7.1 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN April 07, 2011
Magnitude 6.5 VERACRUZ, MEXICO April 07, 2011
Magnitude 6.7 SOUTH OF JAVA, INDONESIA April 03, 2011
Magnitude 6.8 MYANMAR March 24, 2011
Magnitude 6.6 OFF THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN March 22, 2011
Magnitude 6.3 VANUATU March 17, 2011
Magnitude 9.0 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN March 11, 2011
More importantly, what earthquake activity occurred in the world before the Japanese quake?
Magnitude 5.4 MYANMAR-CHINA BORDER REGION March 10, 2011
Magnitude 6.5 NEW BRITAIN REGION, PAPUA NEW GUINEA March 09, 2011
Magnitude 6.6 SOLOMON ISLANDS March 07, 2011
Magnitude 6.5 SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS REGION March 06, 2011
Magnitude 6.3 SOUTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND February 21,
Magnitude 6.6 OFFSHORE MAULE, CHILE February 14, 2011
Magnitude 6.8 OFFSHORE BIO-BIO, CHILE February 11, 2011
Magnitude 6.5 CELEBES SEA February 10, 2011
Magnitude 7.2 SOUTHWESTERN PAKISTAN January 18, 2011
Magnitude 7.0 LOYALTY ISLANDS January 13, 2011
Magnitude 6.6 VANUATU January 09, 2011
What the big picture reveals here is a very active western Pacific Rim of Fire from off the coast of Russia southward to around a thousand miles off the coast of Southern Australia. What we have here is adjustments being made to this day in the Earth's fault system in the western Pacific from the 9.1 Indonesia quake of 12/26/2004. The pressure put on the whole Pacific Rim of Fire fault system from the 2004 Indonesia quake is also responsible for the 8.8 quake in Chile, 2010.
The estimated fault movement from the 9.0 Japanese quake is a fracture of 150 miles long and 50 miles wide. The same massive movement only on a grander scale was made by the 9.1 Indonesia quake. Such great Earth displacement made in a matter of seconds puts pressure on the whole fault system worldwide, resulting in either several significant earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 and below occurring in different parts of the world or another monumental event of magnitude 8.5 or above occurring, perhaps across the planet.
The worldwide shock wave created by such strong quakes also has an effect on all fault systems, especially those where the slightest movement will set off a rupture.
Fault systems are basically cracks from stress in the Earth's crust. When an area has significant movement, the stress from this displacement must be rectified in the form of rupturing elsewhere in the form of an earthquake.
Volcano eruptions happening in connection with significant quakes are the result of magma being forced to the surface from the added stress. Most volcano eruptions act as stress relievers rather than adding to it. The release of magma takes the place of significant plate rupture as it is pushed to the surface.
Judging from the scenario, we are currently in, since the Indonesia quake we have around ten years to go before the Earth settles down from such monumental plate displacements.
We may have been lucky in escaping yet another magnitude quake of above 8.0 but the consensus isn't in yet.

Imagine your daily newspaper or magazine without images, your television news broadcast without a stitch of the video. Photos are known to create an impact to an extent that they can persuade audiences. These images have a different approach and can't be termed as an act of Photography.
Photojournalism is a branch of photography that uses the power of visuals to communicate a story. It has factors that differentiate itself from other forms of photography. This form is usually considered an effective way of communicating/disseminating information or telling stories to a diverse audience. Photos are considered visually appealing and compelling as compared to the plain texts or articles.
A person who practices photojournalism is known as a photojournalist. A photojournalist's job is to tell a story with pictures. Their works get covered in publications, stand-alone features etc. Photoblog serves as an important tool for them as their work is able to digitally penetrate and reach a larger set of audience. The job is no cakewalk, often photojournalists risk injury to document newsworthy events.
The power of photojournalism as a mass communication tool can be traced back to the World War II when the photos taken then gave the readers across the world a sense of what was happening the world away. Today's publication uses pictures not to just tell a story, but to create a connection with the public. Just like citizen journalism, photojournalism today is not restricted to photojournalists anymore. With the development of affordable and advanced camera equipment's and the internet, photojournalism has paved its way among the masses with photos flooded across various social networking sites, instant messaging applications and blogs.
GMB Akash is one of the famous photojournalists in the world. He is considered to be the first photojournalist from Bangladesh who threw light on the harsh living conditions of Bangladeshis. Growing up in a developing country filled with millions of impoverished people and abused children, GMB Akash had access to the darkest corner of the world for which he was passionate. He actively captures various shades of the place and posts it on Facebook, his blog (https://gmbakash.wordpress.com/profile/) and on Instagram and many other digital platforms. Talking about his profession he states that "Today, I count myself blessed, having become a photographer. To be able to articulate the experiences of the voiceless, to bring their identity to the forefront, gives meaning and purpose to my own life". His work has covered sensitive areas like child abuse, prostitution, the condition of the patients in the asylums etc. He has received 80 international awards, some highly prestigious awards like the first Bangladeshi to win The Young Reporters Award from the Scope Photo Festival in Paris (2004), World Press Photo Award (2009). His work has been featured in around 80 international publications like National Geographic, Vogue, Time, The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, and The Sunday Times.
Henri Cartier, Dorothea Lange, David Burnett, Philip Jones Griffith are some of other few famous Photojournalists. Many of them are known to have risked their lives while some sought psychological help due to the events they had to witness in their lifetime. The code of ethics for photojournalist's state they shall only document the event and shall not step in at an event of a crisis, they shall not help the victim, they shall not touch the subject, in short, and there is no space for personal emotions.
