text: Hi list, when changing the mms protocol over to use fifos I need a way to efficiently read data from a ByteIOContext into an AVFifoBuffer. The attached patch adds such a function to fifo.(c|h) but also makes those files depend on avformat.h If that is ok, feel free to review the patch. If not, please advice on a better solution (and skip the detailed reviewing for now). The suboptimal workaround as long as this function is missing is to first read data from the ByteIOContext into a temporary buffer and then write from that buffer into the fifo. -- Bj?rn Axelsson Phone: +46-(0)90-18 98 97 Intinor AB Fax: +46-(0)920-757 10 www.intinor.se Interactive Television & Digital Media Distribution -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Today was pretty much a busy day for me. The house was a pig sty again but even worse, and me and my siblings just found out that my poor mum was sick in the hospital. My dad said she will be coming back when we text or calls us. So I thought in my head what should I do to make kindness go viral and to help my mum feel better and happy when she comes back home. With quick thinking the only way that she could come home happy and not feeling homesick and stress is that if me my sibling and dad clean up for her. So we started cleaning up beds, doing the laundry, vacuum the floor, do dishes and all sorts of stuff. In the middle of cleaning I took a bath the truth because I was so smelly! Suddenly after I showed my sister gave great news that my mom is feeling better and is ok but a little uncomfortable. I was so happy! After finishing doing all the chores the phone rang. Then it was my mum she called to tell my dad to pick her up. Me and my little brother were staying to look after my papa, and my big sister went with my dad to pick my mum up. Now i'm in the middle of waiting for my mum till she gets home. I hope she feels better and comes home safely!

Amelia Sports Drinks - What are they/PMI about Sport drinks
|Walt: think critically about information.
Task Description: This is my blog post about What are the Positives, Minuses, and Interesting points (PMI) about Sport drinks. In my Sports Drinks presentation I explain what are sport drinks, and what they are used for. Did you know that people that sell these types of drinks use advertising to sell them and make money. People who buy sports drinks think that the sport drinks are going to help them with their big games and to build muscles, however sports drinks actually have a lot of sugar and it's really bad for you unless you are professional athlete, or do enough exercise to use that energy. If you want to learn more about advertising check out this LINK to see me and my group talking about advertising.

Silicon Valley tech moguls are conducting an enormous experiment on the nation's children. We should not be so trusting that they'll get it right.
Alphabet unit Google has taken a big role in public education, offering low-cost laptops and free apps. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook Inc. is investing heavily in educational technology, largely though the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Netflix head Reed Hastings has been tinkering with expensive and algorithmic ed-tech tools.
Encouraging as all this may be, the technologists might be getting ahead of themselves, both politically and ethically. Also, there's not a lot of evidence that what they're doing works.
Like it or not, education is political. People on opposite sides of the spectrum read very different science books, and can't seem to agree on fundamental principles. It stands to reason that what we choose to teach our children will vary, depending on our beliefs. That's to acknowledge, not defend, anti-scientific curricula.
Zuckerberg and Bill Gates learned this the hard way last year when the Ugandan government ordered the closure of 60 schools — part of a network providing highly scripted, low-cost education in Africa — amid allegations that they had been "teaching pornography" and "conveying the gospel of homosexuality" in sex-ed classes. Let's face it, something similar could easily happen here if tech initiatives expand beyond the apolitical math subjects on which they have so far focused.
Beyond that, there are legitimate reasons to be worried about letting tech companies wield so much influence in the classroom. They tend to offer "free services" in return for access to data, a deal that raises some serious privacy concerns — particularly if you consider that it can involve tracking kids' every click, keystroke and backspace from kindergarten on.
My oldest son is doing extremely well as a junior in school right now, but he was a late bloomer who didn't learn to read until third grade. Should that be a part of his permanent record, data that future algorithms could potentially use to assess his suitability for credit or a job? Or what about a kid whose "persistence score" on dynamic, standardized tests waned in 10th grade? Should colleges have access to that information in making their admissions decisions?
These are not far-fetched scenarios. Consider the fate of nonprofit education venture InBloom, which sought to collect and integrate student records in a way that would allow lessons to be customized. The venture shut down a few years ago amid concerns about how sensitive information — including tags identifying students as "tardy" or "autistic" — would be protected from theft and shared with outside vendors.
Google and others are collecting similar data and using it internally to improve their software. Only after some prompting did Google agree to comply with the privacy law known as FERPA, which had been weakened for the purpose of third-party sharing. It's not clear how the data will ultimately be used, how long the current crop of students will be tracked, or to what extent their futures will depend on their current performance.
Nobody really knows to what educational benefit we are bearing such uncertainties. What kinds of kids will the technological solutions reward? Will they be aimed toward producing future Facebook engineers? How will they serve children in poverty, with disabilities or with different learning styles? As far as I know, there's no standard audit that would allow us to answer such questions. We do know, though, that the companies and foundations working on educational technology have a lot of control over the definition of success. That's already too much power.
In short, blindly trusting the tech guys is no way to improve our educational system. Although they undoubtedly mean well, we should demand more accountability.

"When Christine Blacksworth's larger-than-life father is killed on an icy road in Magdalena, New York, a hundred miles from the getaway cabin he visited every month, she discovers a secret that threatens everything she has always held to be true. Her father has another family which includes a mistress and a daughter. Determined to uncover the truth behind her father's secret life, Christine heads to Magdalena, prepared to hate the people who have caused her to question everything she thought she knew about her father. But what she finds is a woman who understands her, a half sister who cherishes her, and a man who could love her if she'll let him. The longer she's around them, the more she questions which family is the real one." -Goodreads.com
I think more and more I'm not liking books with several POVs.
And A Family Affair is no exception. Even though some parts were helpful with the story, a majority didn't really help it flow. Even now after reading it some feels like a slight jumbled mess because of all the plot lines going on… Just glad I got it cheap on kindle.
3 stars.

Comcast Ditching 250GB Data Caps, Exploring New Options
Comcast on Thursday announced plans to ditch its current 250GB data cap for residential Internet customers in favor of a plan that will provide at least 300GB of data per month.
In the next few months, the provider will be trying out two approaches in select markets: a 300GB monthly cap for basic service and higher caps for more advanced levels of service, plus $10 for an additional 50GB; or 300GB for all tiers of service and $10 for 50GB more. Comcast said it has not yet determined what the data limits would be for the higher tiers with the first option.
"In both approaches, we'll be inreasing the initial data usage threshold for our customers from today's 250 GB per month to at least 300 GB per month," said Cathy Avgiris, executive vice president and general manager for Communications and Data Services at Comcast.
In markets where Comcast is not testing these options, it will suspend enforcement of the current 250GB data cap.
Comcast said it has not yet determined which markets will be involved in its trials. The company will "test different models in a couple different markets," Avgiris said.
"In the vast majority of our footprint," the data cap will be suspended while we conduct the tests, David L. Cohen, Comcast executive vice president said during a conference call with reporters.
Those test will begin as soon as Comcast has "operational readiness" and is able to notify customers, Avgiris said.
Comcast first introduced data caps for its residential customers in Oct. 2008. That came after accusations in 2007 that Comcast was cutting off bandwidth hogs without warning. Consumer groups filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission, resulting in an enforcement action against Comcast - and the birth of the FCC's activity on net neutrality.
Comcast denied any wrongdoing, but it agreed to abide by the non-discrimination policies laid out by the FCC, and implemented its 250GB residential cap. But the issue kicked off a tug of war between ISPs and the FCC over how much oversight the agency should have on the issue.
Today, Comcast stressed that it "never had any intention to limit the lawful use of the Internet or restrict our customers' ability to view online video."
In a conference call, Cohen said that "even today, only a very small number of our customers have ever even come close to the [250GB] cap."
Cohen said Comcast is not comfortable giving out specific numbers, but he acknowledged that "the vast, vast majority of our customers will be totally unaffected by this announcement."
When asked why Comcast would increase the limit if most customers are not even coming close to hitting the cap, Cohen said "it's a matter of messasging way more than it's a message of capacity."
"We want you to feel free to use Netfix and YouTube and Hulu," he said. "We want to send a signal that our network is robust ... and we don't need to use four-year-old terminology in terms of having a static byte cap to deal with data-management usage on our high-speed data service. We believe we can use these more flexible, more consumer-friendly, [and] improved data-mangement practices.
Heavy users who bump up against the caps will be provided with notifications, Avgiris said, but those who don't alter their usage will incur additional fees. The trial, however, will provide more details on how best to pursue that, she said.
Why now? Cohen said that "a lot has changed in the last four years," pointing to new technologies and the growth in online video usage.
"For the last six months we have been analyzing the market and our process and think that now is the time to begin to move to a new plan," Avgiris said. "This conclusion was only reinforced when, in recent weeks, some of the conversation around our new product introductions focused on our data usage threshold, rather than on the exciting opportunities we are offering our customers."
Yesterday, Comcast rolled out Skype video calling to customer's living rooms. Cohen said today that that app will count against a monthly data cap, but "we do not ancitipate that [it] will push any of our customers to go over any of the data use thresholds."
Recently, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings criticized Comcast for not imposing its data cap on Comcast's Xfinity TV service for the Xbox 360. Hastings said this ran afoul of net neutrality rules, but Comcast said its Xfinity TV/Xbox 360 service does not run over the public Internet and is not subject to open Internet rules.
For its part, Netflix allows users to manage their video quality if they want to avoid hitting Internet data caps.

Document Type
Publication details
Singer, J 2008, 'Listening to refugee bodies : the naturopathic encounter as a cross-cultural meeting place', PhD thesis, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW.
Copyright J Singer 2008
This thesis examines the meanings of naturopathy through the experiences of twelve women with refugee backgrounds involved in naturopathic treatment at the Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture (Foundation House), a refugee torture and trauma rehabilitation service in Melbourne, Australia. The findings of this research show that the naturopathic encounter provided a transformative and meaningful meeting place for healing, a place in which the women felt at ease and in place. At Foundation House naturopathy has been practised alongside counselling since 1989, two years after the organisation's inception. The women I interviewed for this project came from diverse sociocultural backgrounds and a wide range of countries including Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Burma and Serbia. The thesis brings together two contemporary fields of practice: Western models of refugee health care and traditional medicine. It argues for the place of non-biomedical approaches in refugee health care in a Western setting. The thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to theorise the naturopathic encounter. The distinction between holistic and reductionist perspectives on health, illness and the body is underpinned by the theoretical work of medical anthropologists Nancy Scheper-Hughes and Margaret Lock and that of medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky. A cultural studies perspective, influenced by the work of embodiment scholar Elspeth Probyn is employed to theorise these women's experiences of the naturopathic encounter. This qualitative study is based on in-depth interviews and draws on grounded theory as an approach to data analysis. Descriptions of respite, renewal, and healing in the naturopathic encounter are cited as the most observable themes emerging from the women's stories. These themes represent a health-oriented, as opposed to a disease-focused, perspective. Importantly, a health-orientated approach is congruent with the core tenets of naturopathic philosophy. Listening to the body is a crucial therapeutic tool in the naturopathic encounter, where primacy is given to supporting and strengthening health-creating strategies. I argue that this orientation disrupts the existing dominant biomedical approach to refugee health care. I draw on the work of Probyn to theorise the movement from the naturopathic encounter (NE) to the naturopathic meeting place (NMP). Central to this transposition is Probyn's articulation of the body's awareness of being in and out of place. This awareness lends itself to an understanding of the connectedness between past and present in the bridge-making that these particular refugee women have engaged in across cultures in the NMP. The thesis addresses an important but often neglected focus in refugee research: the resilience and agency of refugees. This positive aspect of refugee recovery is revealed in the research by theorising the women's stories through Probyn's embodiment analysis and cognisance of the 'everyday' as a productive and creative process. The research interrupts the ubiquitous image of the 'disempowered refugee victim'. It highlights the practical wisdom and agency of these particular women that is often overshadowed in the complex resettlement process. It makes a call for further health-orientated research to broaden and deepen our understanding of the refugee experience.

It's been five years since the public first eyeballed the Panono, a green rubber ball that shoots 360-degree images. It's been another three since we went hands on with the super cool prototype. Now the Panono is finally here, shooting very pretty picture and costing a wallet-puckering $US1400 ($1,831).
All Images: Alex
A lot has changed in the interim.
When the Panono was announced, it was a novel camera ball capable of shooting more stunning (still) panoramas than your iPhone could ever manage. Now it's competing against Frankenstein GoPro rigs that shoot 4K video for VR headsets that can be had for a lot cheaper.
There's competition. Granted, that competition can't be tossed in the air for an effortless shot, and it can't be attached on a stick — $US44 ($59) — for a quick, widest-angle-possible selfie. The Panono has some cool tricks in its stable, but they still feel like just that, tricks.
Selfie stick bonus: it makes the camera look like a boss mace. The main reason you'll want to put down a chunk of change for the Panono is so you can show off outdoor vistas. Maybe you're a realtor looking to unload a property, or a landscape photographer looking to expand your portfolio. Or maybe you just have a lot of disposable income.
The Panono takes wonderful photos when it's outdoors. They're crisp and clean (when the stitching works) and friends in your office will be very impressed when you show them the images on your phone.
You'll want to use the selfie stick or a tripod though. Tossing the ball into the air definitely gives you a true 360 degree image, but you can't put a spin on the ball or you'll cause significant blurring (I'm terrible at that) and you will be in the image and you will look like a tit, with your eyes wide and arms outstretched to the metaphorical heavens.
At least with the selfie stick you can look away, and with the tripod you can remotely take photos with the Panono app.
The phone app you can shoot with (available on iOS and Android) is one you should be prepared to love — because it's required to do anything with the ball beyond tossing it in the air. Want to access your photos? Name them? Share them? Stitch them so they don't look like modern art?
The app is required.
Stitching, the act of piecing together images provided by all 36 cameras to create one cohesive whole, is a double-edged sword on the Panono.
You don't need expensive and mystifying software to stitch panoramas like you do with other 360-capable cameras. You tell the Panono app to upload the panorama to their servers and you're done. But you're also subject to the capabilities of Panono's servers and your own connection.
Which helps explain how I ate through 2GB of data on my phone in a couple of weeks. You have to connect to the Panono via wi-fi to interact with it, and, at least in the case of my iPhone, it does not automatically reconnect to other wi-fi after latching onto the Panono. So images would be uploaded to Panono's servers not via my home connection, but via my phone's data network.
From left to right: An image waiting to be uploaded. An image before stitching (note the lines). A queue of images processing on Panono's servers. The process, besides being a data hog, also takes forever. There was a long, excruciating, thirty minutes between the time I uploaded one photo and the time I had the stitched final product on my phone. Worse, there was no clear estimation of how long processing would take.
And because the stitching all happens on Panono's server, there's no tweaking it. Problematic when you take a lovely picture of a neighbourhood church and Panono starts stitching spires to the wrong parts of the building.
And just deeply disappointing when you try taking a cool shot as the ball is in motion and would like to do some colour correction.
The Panono, out of the box, just doesn't give you enough control. If you want to edit the image you'll have to go to the site, log in, and download the raw image (stitched or unstitched) and use your own software.
It should be noted that you do get some control in-camera (using the app). You can adjust the white balance and shutter speed, but the image sensors in the 36 cameras wrapped around the Panono are terribly low quality — like three or fours years ago smartphone quality.
Every single image I took indoors was dark, grainy, and blurry. It didn't matter if I was taking it in my sun-dappled apartment or under the bright, industrial lights of the Gawker offices. The images just. Looked. Gross.
The quality of the camera sensors is what I really found myself struggling with. Because I want to like the Panono. It's a cool concept and it has some neat tricks, but it's all far too little and too late. That's part of the problem with crowdfunded gadgets. There are brilliant ideas attached to them and, often, there are brilliant people making the gadgets. But the rollouts are too glacial, and hyping the product five years before it hits the market isn't as much marketing as it is genital teasing.
When the finished product finally lands in your hand you wind up saying "that's it?" The me from three years ago would have loved the hell out of the Panono. The me from 2016 is wishing for something more.

Wherever you are at, you have an innate understanding perhaps that the mindset and behaviours that got you here aren't going to be enough to move forward. Or maybe, you just need help thinking things through and making the plan.
That's where I come in.
I work with people who are:
Together we will co-create your best way forward, using you strengths, skills, and the gem that is the authentic you. We will also look at the roles that are going to best suited for these, and help you feel the most happy and fulfilled you can be. At times it may be fast, furious and challenging. At others we will linger, working through knotty issues and collaborating on a way forward.
But it's not enough to know what changes you want to make. Much of my career has been working with people who have a strong vision but something holds them back – confidence, Imposter Syndrome, bad organisation or time management for instance. We'll address anything that may be holding you back, including your strengths, as overusing your strengths is often a way to get stuck. I promise you that our work together will build your confidence and empower you to make the changes you desire.
My PR agency background makes me a great fit for coaching within these industries. I understand the issues that crop up again and again: acting as middle man between media and client, dealing with client expectations, mental health within the industry and keeping on top of all the latest technological developments to name but a few.
I am a career coach based in London. I have studied coaching to Masters' level and qualified with the ICF accredited Animas School of coaching. I have been coaching and mentoring people from a huge array of industries and sectors for over ten years.
Additionally, I am a Business Psychologist. This means that I bring to the table practical models, tools and exercises that can add clarity, focus and direction.
As a past owner of my own PR company, I have also personally experienced many issues pertinent to leadership and running a business. A a mentor, I can sometimes offer practical advice, contacts and suggestions that you may not have thought of. I find mentoring combines well with coaching. Sometimes you just want someone to hand you a shortcut, rather than have to figure it all out on your own!
"You are honest, open and sincere, and you always support me but also challenge what I have to say so I don't make any stupid decisions! You are always a great listener and never judge me and always encourage and never patronise." A client

Celebrate Prince, eat his favorite soul food dishes at Onyx Culinary Collective's pop-up
"American cuisine was created by black people in kitchens," says Tene Wells. She's a member of Onyx Culinary Collective (OCC), a group dedicated to promoting and advancing African American chefs and culinarians in creating their own successful businesses.
Wells is OCC's business manager and—on Wednesday at least—lemon zester. This was prep night for the collective's June 8 pop-up dinner, which will honor the culinary tastes of Prince.
As Wells zests in the Breaking Bread Cafe kitchen, other members of the collective finish cutting sweet potatoes, photograph the growing pile of lemons, ready tubs of chicken, and dish up salmon cakes they brought from home to serve as snacks for the group.
Prince plays loud through the speakers.
"We've lost recognition for what we did," Wells continues, "and we want to bring back honor to black chefs."
The collective was formed last August by Lachelle Cunningham, who has since departed to run her own catering company. Cunningham brought together blacks chefs and cooks—many of whom are also artists—to discuss how they might collaborate and forward their culinary dreams.
For Bershawn "Bernie" Medlock, that dream is a dessert truck, and catering parties with her cakes. For Nicole Pacini, it's honing her skill in and passion for food photography. For Kenneth Jordan, it's a food truck. For Vaughn Larry, it's the "first time I've worked with this many black cooks."
This sense of shared ownership and community fuels the group. Wells, who's worked in economic development in various capacities, notes that Onyx truly is a collective. Each member has invested $500 in the venture—as well as their time and expertise—and shares duties. Profits are added to the initial seed money.
This model has worked for centuries, here in the United States and around the world, particularly in immigrant communities and communities of color. Often, traditional forms of lending and economic development were created and are perpetuated to leave out those very communities. Wells says, for example, that the US Bank a block from Breaking Bread has never made a commercial loan to support a business in the neighborhood. "It's a glorified check-cashing place," she says.
After a successful pop-up dinner during the Super Bowl (just search #wherethesoulfoodatmpls), OCC decided to hold a summer series of pop-up dinners called The Evolution of African Cuisine. The first will be Friday's, which will offer three menu options based on the foods Prince loved to eat—both as a kid and as an adult. A July 13 event is all about family reunions, how families come together to pass down their knowledge and lineage, usually through the medium of food. August 10 honors the blending of African and indigenous cuisines, while September 14 will explore the Green Book.
The group chooses themes together and slowly builds out the menu through conversations. (When Medlock offered up her salmon cakes, Wells took one bite and said, "We should serve these at the family reunion pop-up.") All meals will happen at Breaking Bread Cafe in north Minneapolis (1210 W. Broadway), the collective's home base. There, they have access to a commercial kitchen and services from NEON, as well as the visibility of the cafe.
By November, OCC hopes to raise $50,000 through their pop-ups, catering, and Kickstarter. "We recognize we're investing in ourselves," Wells says. "We know there will be a return." She hopes an investor will be interested, and she's already had some initial conversations. Until that day, OCC is an experiment, says Jordan. "We want to see how long it will last."
"We work incredibly well together," says young chef George, who's surgically slicing peels from lemons. His sentiment is echoed by everyone else, whether outright in words, or in their easy back-and-forth preparing buckets of sweet potatoes.
OCC wants to use their dinners as teaching opportunities, not just around the evolution of African cuisine in America, but about the state of soul food today. While the Twin Cities has a few dedicated soul food restaurants, there aren't enough to offer up a full spectrum of the cuisine. (This is due largely to the very systemic factors OCC is combating.)
Wells hopes to serve white-tablecloth soul food, and to that end, future pop-ups will feature wine and other alcoholic beverages. Plus, every dish is made from scratch—even the macaroni in the macaroni and cheese—to amp up the deliciousness and the nutrition. OCC has spoken with the folks at PinKU and with Hmong chefs in town about future collaborations, too.
"Our food is about the merger of all people of color," Wells explains. It's a natural evolution of American cuisine and soul food both. And why should banks and traditional financing options stymie that progress? Reserve your tickets for OCC's pop-ups; support black-owned and -operated businesses in the community.
And share some damn fine food with friends and neighbors.

Hey loves!
Your girl SSS has made an appearance in this month's issue of Straight Stuntin Magazine! HOT97 's DJ JUANYTO gave me an interview for the issue, touching upon what it is to be a Latina in NYC, an influencer, and the inspirations behind SSS Blog.
DJ: What made you get into blogging?
Writing in general has always played a big role throughout my life. I'd always keep various journals growing up, then once the internet took over my journals went from pen and paper to keyboard and screen. That's when my blogging began. I first began blogging on a personal level, sort of like venting to cyberspace. Growing up, I kept my privacy to myself and began blogging about more general things in my life. Once I noticed my blogs effortlessly gather a large following, is when I took my blogging to another level... I began inspirational blogging. And here I am.
DJ: What influenced you into modeling?
Bills Bills Bills lol I began modeling when I started living on my own and paying rent, around age 20. Finances were tight. A friend of mine made extra cash by modeling and suggested I give it a shot. Once into it, my modeling was fluently successful. A year in, I was getting contacted by various publications and companies for work. All without an agent. I then took my modeling more serious when I saw it as a way to lure people into checking out my blog. Worked very well, actually.
DJ: Who would u like to work with in the near future?
I would like to work with organizations that positively inspire upcoming female generations. Helping build confidence and self love into growing young ladies.
Check out the rest of my interview as Flava of the Month inside Straight Stuntin Magazine issue #25!
Super huge S/O to @DJJUANYTO from HOT97!

Time is a very powerful thing. Almost any brokenness can be healed with time. The key is to be patient. It is a process that can't be done with the snap of our fingers. There are many steps to heal, and they all revolve around time. Keep this in mind, especially when you're hurting. It will pass. Keep the faith. Time can not only heal a broken heart, it can make it stronger than it ever was before. I feel like most of us were taught this as we grew up, crying on the shoulders of our friends and family because of harsh circumstances. Yet we still become bitter and unforgiving and harden our hearts, not letting time do its thing. Time is a blessing in disguise – despite the fact people die eventually, we are also given the chance to not just be alive, but live. Live through the pain and be our most powerful and best selves.

There is no product called "Vm ware XP" or "VMware Windows XP".
If you are talking about installing VMware, then running a virtual machine which has Windows XP installed on it, yes you can do that. You'll need VMware Workstation or VMware Server to do that.
Like he said, sure you can do it. Google VMWARE.
Make sure your processor supports the VM instructions and that you have plenty of HDD and memory to support the concurrent running of two OS.
I do and it works great.

Gareth Bale's potential world record move to Real Madrid has caught the attention of the world – including Spain's top players, writes Dean Jones of the Sunday People .
And according to Barcelona's Xavi, a price tag for the Spurs man that could top £100million raises the question of what Lionel Messi would be worth.
Xavi sees the brilliant Argentinian every day in training, and said: "There have been some big transfer fees paid already this summer – and now talk of £100m for Gareth Bale.
"I'm sure he's a good player – but when you're talking about £100m for players like that then there can't be enough money in football to buy Leo."
Madrid's Sergio Ramos is taken aback, too, but mainly because he cannot believe how much hype has surrounded the deal. "Players don't care about transfer fees – that's the business of the clubs," said Ramos. "I don't think Gareth will feel any pressure at all because of the fee involved.
Gareth Bale: Career in pictures
"Zinedine Zidane arrived as the most expensive player in the world and achieved great things. Cristiano Ronaldo arrived as the most expensive player in the world and has gone on to be the best player in the world over the last three seasons.
"Players don't care about fees, they just want to get on with playing for Real Madrid.
"If in five years' time Gareth has helped the club achieve success in both Spain and in Europe then nobody will even talk about the fee any more."
Bernabeu keeper Iker Casillas added: "Playing at Real Madrid makes even the best players better players.
"There's no doubt Real Madrid would take even Gareth to another level – and maybe even on to become the best player in the world."

HighlightsAuxerre | Chablis | Nitry | Noyers-sur-serein | Vezelay | Mary Magdalene Basilica | Morvan Natural Park | Canal du Nivernais Bags transported for you | High quality bikes | Wine tastings | Visits to Burgundy vineyards
Description of Burgundy cycling holiday, FranceThe itinerary for this wonderful nine day Burgundy cycling holiday in France reads more like a fine wine list than an activity holiday. But this is Burgundy, where vineyards dominate the verdant rolling hills and where all you have to do is cycle from one stunning town to the next and know that some of the worlds epicurean delights await at the end of the day.
Starting in Auxerre, a stunning medieval city on the banks of the River Yonne, a cycling path along the banks makes for the most delightful start to any cycling holiday, passing ancient monasteries, abbeys and all round pastoral prettiness. The next wine on the menu is Chablis where you stay at the historic four star Hostellerie du Clos and have a full day to explore vineyards and wineries for tasting sessions. More river paths await, this time on the Serein which leads you out of Chablis into more Bourgogne beauteous sur Serein towns and rural idylls. Such as Noyers-sur-Serein, which must be up there as one of the prettiest villages in France with its medieval half-timbered houses and meandering alley ways where flowers bedeck every balcony and doorway.
One of the final stops on this cycling holiday is in Vezelay, which has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status for cultural heritage highlights that include its much celebrated Mary Magdalene Basilica. We will stay just beside it at the Hotel Les Glycines before taking our final cycle through Morvan Natural Park along the Canal du Nivernais to Cravant where we take a train back to Auxerre. With your bags transported for you from one accommodation to the next, where wonderful breakfasts and dinners await, all you need to do on this holiday is pedal from one pretty spot to the next, and find the most perfect waterside spot to have your lunch. And this region isnt short of those.

Responsible tourism
Burgundy cycling holiday, France
Carbon reduction
Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.
UK Office:
We are well aware of the impact tourism has at home and abroad, and we make every effort to balance the environmental impact of travelling with the immense benefits sustainable tourism can bring to destinations and the people who live there. So we start in the office: we turn off all electrical equipment every night; we use energy-efficient bulbs; we measure print and paper consumption, and re-cycle wherever possible; we print our brochures on paper from sustainable sources, and send them out in bio-degradable packaging.
Leaders & local suppliers:
Over the past 20 years, Burgundy has invested in the transformation of hundreds of kilometres of canals and river paths to attract tourism, so we are delighted to be supporting the local efforts by ensuring that our suggested cycling routes use these paths wherever possible. Not only do they afford quiet, leisurely cycling, but they also give you an opportunity to see flora and fauna in abundance grey heron, egrets, kingfishers, ospreys and cormorants. 2013 will be our 25th year of offering holidays to the region we reckon that adds up to around 60,000 bed nights!
Group size:
Having no minimum number means that groups sizes can be small and therefore the trips have less impact on the environment.
Walking has minimal impact on the environment as you provide most of the energy yourself and, when youre strolling from village to village, you can enjoy a relationship with locals in a way motorists passing through never can. On foot, you get off the beaten track, and youll find that people treat you as a visitor rather than a tourist. Also, by walking independently, and not having to worry about keeping up with a group, you set the pace so you can soak up the sights, sounds and scents of your surrounds and really get under the skin of the place youre visiting.
We proactively encourage walking clients to think about travelling responsibly too: packing light, saving water, buying locally and re-cycling all maps and route notes at the end of their trip.
