The performance UNDER A LOW SKY by Syrian artist and director Wael will be presented for the first time in Bulgaria on September 27ht in the Black Box of the Drama Theater – Plovdiv. A journey into the past and the present through personal memories and documentary sources, UNDER A LOW SKY, mixes theater, dance, and video to revive the memory of Syria we used to know.
Onstage we will see the forty-year-old Jamal, Syrian documentarist – while living in France for a decade, he is observing the places from his memory being abandoned or destroyed, and his friends being spread all over the world. Exploring his memories and together with Wael Ali, they travel in time way back to the colonial archive and when the Syrian state was born.
Two performers – Sharif Andoura and Nanda Mohammad- engage in a captivating duet on the stage while the video wall behind them raises a series of questions. How to see the present if the past is lost? How to cope with today if yesterday is gone? How to do theatre in a period of war when we are out of the country? What is the context of the theatre we create, and who do we create for?
Wael Ali is among the leading Syrian writers, playwrights and directors. Based in Lyon, he is interested in topics that do not entertain but cause reflection. His works have been presented in Paris, Berlin, Antwerp, Beirut, Tunisia, Cairo and other cities.
Tickets are available to purchase online via EpayGo and at the EasyPay cash desks. For more information follow the event on Facebook here.
ONE DANCE WEEK, which will take place between September 20th and October 19th in Plovdiv, is an assiciated partner of the projects.
Young Arab Choreographers under the sporlight
Performances beyond two shores is a project supported by the European Commission within the framework of the Creative Europe Programme.

Okay Kaya, Chats Palace, live music review: 'A masterclass in understated fragility'
Arriving at Chats Palace on a Tuesday evening, the tone for the night is set when I overhear a group of girls, who turn out to be the support act, casually chatting in the loos about what to play five minutes before they're due on stage.
The feel is informal and intimate from the off, with artists and audience so in tune with one another that it verges on collaborative.
A homogenous mass of corduroy-clad 20-somethings fill the venue, an endearing mash-up of old-fashioned pub and community centre.
The crowd is the mirror image of the support, Woom, whose four young members take to the stage in coordinated red and orange with only an electric guitar for company.
As they work their way through a series of ethereal, near-acapella covers of the likes of Radiohead, Bjork and Frank Ocean, the atmosphere has echoes of a school talent show.
Some people are sat down on the parquet flooring, all supportively embracing the slow, haunting harmonies, and laughing when the guitarist admits to "fucking that bit up".
Before leaving the stage and joining the crowd, Woom enthuse with genuine excitement about how much they are looking forward to seeing Okay Kaya.
Five minutes into her set, it's obvious why.
Okay Kaya, real name Kaya Wilkins, embodies everything her fans are about.
The Norwegian-born New Yorker's melancholic music is angsty yet soulful, her highly personal lyrics candidly explore the issues, like mental health and sexuality, that preoccupy a generation.
Her laidback, shy and awkward stage persona perfectly supplements the moody minimalism of her stripped-back sound, and it has everyone utterly transfixed.
She opens with a typically unguarded and mildly sardonic song from her debut album, Both, about getting the contraceptive coil.
Alone on stage, her voice hovers beautifully above the simple chords strum on bass: "come with me to get an IUD / maybe if you come with me, I will let you come in me".
Sarcastic and meditative, it's these sort of tracks which resonate with audience members, who, rather strangely from an outsider's perspective, are almost all sat down for the entire 45-minute performance – silent and mesmerised.
She takes it all in her stride though, even joining them on the floor at one point. It is a masterclass in how raw, understated fragility can grip an audience.
Okay Kaya's version of DIY "bedroom pop" combines melodic experimentation with a relatability which chimes with her fans.
When she does an agonisingly slow cover of Leo Sayer's disco classic 'You Make Me Feel Like Dancing' and the cross-legged crowd sways ever so slightly more, the irony makes me smile – until I realise that perhaps that's the point.

At the end of this chapter, readers should be able to:
v Define Contact management.
v Discover the reasons why contact management is being equated to CRM.
v Identify the limitations of Contact management.
v Identify how Contact Management can help organizations to serve their customers better.
Contact management is one functionality or application that is often confused for CRM. Many applications that complement CRM such as Goldmine, ACT! Are often confused as CRM; some have even confused Contact management with limited CRM functionality.
Contact management is a component of CRM but it is very different from CRM as the application called contact manager cannot be customized and has a limited capability for sales. It also has limited Data Synchronization, lack of integration with the legacy system. Contact management is also not scalable.
The goal that contact management sets to achieve is to provide views that are only limited to the contact history of your customers. It does not include the record of your past transactions with your customers. One immeasurable benefit of contact management is the ability to track complete contact information including name, company, phone numbers, address, website, email address and much more.
At times contact management can be used as storage management for keeping records of important conversions, commitment and meeting notes that the organization have with their customers.
There are many ways that contact management solution can improve sales efficiency and customer service. One of such that it will enable access to all relevant customer data across the enterprise to facilitate informed customer services and sales. Contact management allows the organization to share unified information about the customers as the front offices and back offices. This allows them to have access to customer information without delay.
It helps in designing and implementing new contact or commerce channels such as websites, portals, WAP and integrating them with the customer database. It will help the organization to open up channels through which management will help the organization. It will also serve as a repository for other channels that the customers are using to interact with the organization.
Contact management allows organizations to design and implement call centres with integrated access to the customer database. The call centres attend and resolve customer issues. One unique feature of a call centre in CCE is that they always resolve customer issues completely. A well-trained staff in a CCE will not go "to sleep" without resolving customer issues completely.
The management software can be used to find more details about your customers. It could help you to manage information such as their names, phone number and customer interaction history across multiple channels. Contact management can also be used as calendar management as it can be used to manage schedules and can act as E-mail clients.
Contact management can bring about Return on Investment if it is designed to support customer selection, acquisition and retention processes, interfaces with central customer Database and delivers all relevant information to each contact channel. It will help the organization to know the relationship that their customer keeps, their likes and dislikes and use the pools of resources of the organization in meeting their customers at the right place with the right products and services.
From this chapter, we have been able to discover:
- It is different from CRM as it cannot be customized and has fewer sales processes.
- It only has historical records, but it does not have information about the transaction with the customers.
- Contact management can be used to track contact information such as name, phone number and interaction history across multiple channels.
Brainstorming Session
- Define Contact Management?
- What are some of its features?
- Is it relevant to good CRM?
- As the overall Manager in charge of sim registration in GLO Nigeria, how can you turn information gathered from the just concluded mandatory sim registration into a pot of soup for your organisation?

Freestyle Academy proudly presents
Start Me Up: A Senior Narrative Production by Sydney Mozer (2018)
My narrative story is about a man named George who attempts to balance his chaotic life of taking care of his mother, Susan, who suffers from alzheimer's, and his autistic student, Eli. George is a sensitive, caring man, but often cares too much leaving little time for his own personal growth. Going from his work, back to home, the two most important people in George's life constantly, uncontrollably lash out at him. George remains patient through it all despite the overwhelming pressure he is faced with.
I made my main design of the timer on Illustrator. The hourglass represents George's time running out as he is maturing physically but not emotionally. The letters represent his uncontrollable life and the scramble behind him trying to balance his important relationships. They also represent his mother's alzheimer's and the confusion she is put through as well. A lot of steps were required to create individual letters of different sizes, colors, and styles to fill the hourglass. I matched this style by putting more random letters on the back as well. I am really happy with how it turned out. I wanted to create a simple design with a lot of whitespace which is why I limited the amount of designs and used a white cover. If I were to go back and do this differently I would have created a more sand-like effect with the letters in the hourglass.

BROOK PARK, Ohio -- You won't see a Hollywood set, but Brook Park City Council is booked for prime time next Tuesday.
Council meetings will be streamed on cityofbrookpark.com, starting with a 7:30 p.m. caucus and 8 p.m. meeting on Aug. 18.
Don't expect glamorous visuals. The meetings will take place in the same old council chambers at the municipal campus at Holland and Engle roads, where harsh overhead lights glare off foreheads and bald spots. But Mayor Tom Coyne says it's important to help residents see the meetings all the same.
"They'll see the characters in their best and worst way," he said. "I hope they'll have a better appreciation of the situation of the city."
While mayor from 1982 through 2001, Coyne broadcast meetings on cable television. "We can't do that anymore," he said. "Live streaming is the next best thing."
The city is paying BoxCast of Cleveland $200 per month for the service. City workers will turn on two cameras for each meeting. The public can watch the webcasts live or any time later.
Coyne hopes for a better set soon. Plans are being drawn up to move the administration and council from their current two buildings into the community center next door.
The webcasts are one of several new Internet communications tools since Coyne returned to office in January, 2014. The city has also created social media pages and revamped its website, adding announcements, meeting agendas, meeting minutes and a sign-up list for official emails.
"We're trying to do everything to reach all of the audience that's possible," said Coyne. "The more the voters are informed, the easier my job."
The city hired Julie McCormick last year to handle the website for $400 per month. Now McCormick is running for a council-at-large seat, and the city has turned to Tim Kirker of New York for the same price. Jennifer Sinatra, the city's human resources commissioner, says staffers send items to Kirker, who posts them within 24 hours.
The website accepts no comments, but they're allowed at the city's new Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. Sinatra says she allows negative comments but has taken down two defamatory ones.

Walk 'Barefoot In the Park' - the weather's fine
Center Stage Theatre's current production of Neil Simon's "Barefoot In the Park" at MCFTA confirms that even after nearly five decades, a good comedy is good box office if it's grounded in loving appraisal of human frailty.
Newlyweds Paul and Corrie Bratter - button-down lawyer husband and free-spirit wife - transition to married life in an under-maintained Manhattan walkup that, then as now, appears overpriced. Still, Corrie is thrilled to be in it, and stays starry-eyed about the future even when the furniture hasn't arrived and visitors risk cardiac arrest thanks to multiple flights of stairs.
When Corrie's mother drops in, it's clear that she has more in common with her son-in-law, being of a practical turn of mind though lovingly quizzical about the new homestead. But she accepts a dinner invitation for a few nights hence, one which Corrie thinks would be a perfect opportunity to hook up her single mom with a dashing upstairs neighbor. That evening's events, fueled by alcohol, wind up pushing everyone a bit more toward common ground.
"Barefoot" turned out to be Simon's longest-running hit following its Broadway debut in 1963, a year that stands alone for Americans of a certain age as the last days of innocence before violence, Vietnam and civil unrest reshaped the scene. "Barefoot" is infused with that blend of guilelessness and sassiness, which director Jan Huff has honored by setting it in its time, including an eye-catching yet functional set furnished straight out of Barbie's Dream House.
Huff has a strong cast, led by the real-life husband and wife team of Shawn and Ellen Finney as the Bratters. Ellen Finney, with her open smile and delicious mane of hair, embodies Corrie's wide-eyed embrace of the world, her desire that everyone should walk "barefoot in the park" in the winter snows. Shawn Finney is equally convincing as the fledgling head of household who finds that what's charming on the honeymoon might be a little overwhelming in daily life.
As Victor Velasco, the Lothario aimed at Corrie's mother, Kevin Kendrick provides perhaps the production's most modern touch. He's more African-American than the European matinee idol painted by Simon, and subtly seductive, with a lilt in his delivery that gives Velasco the required exotic appeal. Although this casting seems anachronistic for a play so determinedly set in 1963, it's dramatically satisfying thanks to a very attractive actor and the enlightened sensibilities of today's audiences.
Jerry Gwisdala bookends the play as a very funny telephone repairman who gets an eyeful of the Bratters' shifting relationship. Dick Jellum has a cameo as the overburdened delivery man who huffs and puffs the wedding presents up all those stairs.
But Carol Rumba puts them all in the shade with a wonderful performance as Corrie's mother, Ethel Banks, which is one of the best roles Simon ever wrote for a character actress. Rumba doesn't miss a thing; she calls up comparisons with Mildred Natwick (who originated the role on Broadway and repeated it in the movie version) and Myrna Loy (who played the national tour). Exquisitely polite, game but wary, and as charming a mother-in-law (or mother) as you'd desire, she fine-tunes the portrayal to timeless perfection. She'd be believable - and welcome - in any decade in which this play was set.

For video games and the people who love to play them, 2016′s holiday season is the first since 2013 in which brand new video game consoles are being sold. Granted, these aren't brand new in the same way the PS4 and Xbox One were brand new three years ago, but they do represent significant refreshes to both Sony and Microsoft's gaming systems.
After a long wait, we finally have an official announcement from Sony that the new PS4 Pro – what the company originally codenamed PS4 Neo – exists, and is coming soon. So, how does the new console compare to the existing PS4 we all know and love? That's what we're about to find out.

1) Kevin Owens: This has to be one of the hardest weeks to make these choices ever. A lot has happened but the thing I have to put at the top was Kevin Owens winning the NXT Championship. The guy has only had three televised matches but vaulted of the top of the brand. His mach was Sami Zayn featured storytelling at its finest and was another in a string of fantastic matches from NXT on their specials. He came out looking like an absolute monster as he destroyed Sami until the referee had to call for the bell in an impressive performance. Some people have complained online because he's only been around for two months but there was no better choice right now. The story we got at TakeOver: Rival was incredible. Owens could be Brock Lesnar like as a dominant force.
2) AJ Styles: Since leaving TNA AJ Styles has rejuvenated his career. He won the IWGP Heavyweight Title last year before recapturing it this week against Hiroshi Tanahasi. With the fact that the Bullet Club seems to have a stranglehold on the titles in NJPW, I can see Styles having a pretty sustained run with the gold. The match itself wasn't up to snuff with what I have come to expect from AJ Styles but that was more because he has set such a high bar. Don't get me wrong, it was good stuff but I was a tad disappointed. The Bullet Club seem poised to have another huge year in 2015, with AJ Styles at the very top of it all.
3) Sasha Banks: Yup, I'm going there and putting her in third. I realize that Tomohiro Ishii had a match of the year candidate but as a big fan of Sasha Banks, I had to show her love. The girl loves the business and she finally won the NXT Women's Championship. With the SHIMMER Title, it's the belt that I consider to be the pinnacle of women's wrestling. Banks went out with Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Bayley and had a fantastic match. She pinned the champion to win, which was unexpected, and her celebration was very emotional and just made me like her even more.
4) Tomohiro Ishii: This guy is built like a tank. I haven't seen much of him since I only recently got NJPW World but dammit if the match at New Beginnings wasn't incredible. It was for the vacant NEVER Openweight Championship and it stole the entire weekend. This was just two guys hitting each other hard and it was damn entertaining. It's another run with the belt for Ishii but the biggest thing is that he had the best match of the week during a time that saw NXT put on three match of the year candidates. Think about that.
5) Finn Balor: At NXT TakeOver: Rival, there was a series of three awesome matches. The first of those three was the finals of the Number One Contender's Tournament as Adrian Neville took on Finn Balor. I expected the outcome but getting there was glorious. Neville and Balor put on a great showing. Finn rocked the awesome body paint again, giving us goosebumps with his slightly modified entrance. Once the match started he continued to perform and they nearly stole the show. Balor won a hard fought match, being the only person besides Sami Zayn that I can remember pinning Adrian Neville. He is moving towards the top of NXT and it's going to be great.

Six members of The University of Scranton women's lacrosse team were named to the 2019 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-Boardwalk Region Teams this afternoon. In all, Scranton was tied for the most selections to the All-Boardwalk Region Team from one school, as well.
Earning First Team All-Boardwalk Region honors were junior midfielder Kate Calabro (Seaford, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial), sophomore attacker Jill Henson (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy), and junior defender Becca Russo (South Windsor, Conn./South Windsor). Nabbing Second Team accolades were freshman midfielder Halle Conklin (Point Lookout, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial), senior attacker Elena Gallo (East Meadow, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) and freshman defender Emily Schum (East Hanover, N.J./Morris Catholic).
The six players led the Royals in a season for the record books in 2019, as Scranton finished with their best record in program history at 16-3 and were runners-up in the Landmark Conference. The Royals were also a mainstay in the IWLCA Division III Top 25 for most of the season, ending the regular year 18th in the rankings nationally.
Earning IWLCA All-Boardwalk Region First Team accolades for the second straight season is Calabro, who once again was a force in the Royals midfield in 2019 on her way to earning All-Landmark Conference First Team honors for the second straight year, as well.
For the season, Calabro scored 26 goals and added seven assists, while igniting the offense with 69 draw controls in 14 games played. She also scooped up 33 ground balls and caused 26 turnovers on the season, as well.
Earning a spot on the All-Boardwalk Region Team for the first time is Henson, who had a banner sophomore season leading the Royals offense in 2019. In all, she tallied 82 total points (48 goals and 34 assists) and had 14 multiple goals games on the year, with her best effort coming in the Landmark Conference semifinal against Moravian, where she finished with eight total points (five goals and three assists).
The leader of one of the best defensive units in the country, Russo also earned a spot on the All-Boardwalk Region First Team for the second straight season and on an All-Region Team for the third consecutive year.
On the season, Russo led the Landmark Conference in ground balls with 74 and was second in caused turnovers with 41. She also helped ignite the offense, ending the year with 79 draw controls, the seventh-best mark in the Landmark. For her efforts, Russo was named to the All-Landmark Conference First Team as a defender for the third straight season, as well.
Conklin bookends a banner freshman season with her All-Region Second Team selection, as she also earned All-Landmark Conference Second Team accolades earlier this month. Overall, she played in 18 games on the year, scoring 30 goals with 10 assists for a 40 point total in her rookie season. Meanwhile, on defense, Conklin caused 36 turnovers, and scooped up 47 ground balls, while kick-starting the offense with 66 draw controls, as well.
Gallo, meanwhile, ends her career at Scranton with another All-Region Second Team selection, as she earned the honor after her junior season, as well.
An All-Landmark Conference First Team pick in 2019, Gallo scored 45 goals and added five assists for a 50 point total. For the year, Gallo scored multiple goals in 14 games doing so in the final eight games of the season for the Royals. With 163 career goals, Gallo ends her career fifth in program history in goals scored, while being eighth in total points with 185.
Rounding out the All-Region picks for Scranton is Schum, who was outstanding on the defensive end in her rookie season on her way to also earning All-Landmark Conference First Team accolades. Starting all 19 games the Royals played on the year, she posted 42 ground balls and 27 caused turnovers. Schum's best game of the year came against Farmingdale State on Mar. 27, as she finished the game with seven ground balls and six caused turnovers.

MOTU PCI-324 Compatibility with a Windows PC
Hardware considerations for PCs when using the PCI-324 card
MOTU recommends Intel machines for use with the 324, particularly Pentium IIIs using Intel chipsets. AMD machines sometimes ship with less efficient PCI chipsets. There is also a known incompatibility with Pre-1999 Via Chipsets. We have been able to get some VIA chipsets to work by downloading the "4 in 1 update" from www.viatech.com, particularly the IWILL KK266 plus. If you're considering getting a PC using the DDR RAM based motherboards and wish to use the PCI-324 card we recommend the Gigabyte GA8INXP and HP 753N.
Note also that PCI slots with a 3.3 volt power specification cannot support 5 volt PCI cards such as the PCI-324. Motherboards that utilize hyperthreading, 64 bit processing, or DDR RAM typically utilize PCI slots with this 3.3v specification and thus may not be compatible. Additionally, the 324 card will not physically fit into the PCI-X slots found on most newer motherboards or into PCI Express (PCIe) slots found on many new PC motherboards. If you have any questions about your PC system and PCI-324 compatibility, please contact MOTU Tech Support. Generally speaking, the PCI-324 card is not compatible with most PC motherboards manufactured since 2002.
Our newer interfaces (FireWire, USB, and PCI-424 based) should work with virtually every motherboard out there, including DDR based machines and AMDs. PCI-324 users can upgrade to the PCI-424 or PCIe-424 card on our secure Upgrades page.

Journalists that rely on numbers to tell stories face three obstacles.
The first one is the absence of data. A few times we may have an idea for an article, but the data needed to write it do not exist. It would be great, for example, to analyze the relationship between political campaign's fundraising and donors' influence in government. But naturally it's very hard to quantify something as abstract as influence in government.
The second obstacle is inherent to journalism: sometimes simply there's no news. We get the data, do the math, but there's no story worth telling.
But while the first obstacle is not that surprising and the second inherent to our job, it's the third one that really gets to our nerves. It is the most frequent one, too. Often the data exists – and we know they're news-worthy – but those who hold them refuse to share them.
While producing this website, contaRio went through three experiences representative of how hard it is to obtain data – two with the public sector; one with the private sector.
One of the stories we wanted to tell regarded the removal of people living in favelas due to the infrastructure projects in progress because of the Fifa World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. On Monday, February 10, we contacted the Municipal Department for Habitation with a request for data about the removals of favela population in the last few years.
These are data that the local government certainly holds, as it is its responsibility to coordinate the relocations. In the request, we informed the department of our deadline. We never got an answer. Without the data, we could not analyze one of the most controversial aspects of Rio's preparation to receive the two largest sport events in the world.
We also sought to discuss the situation of public transit in the city. In order to do that, we sent an e-mail on January 31st, listing the data we would need to write a comprehensive story on the subject. No answer ever came. We had to find open data online, but the information was incomplete, thus curtailing the scope of the story.
It is true that the recently-signed access to Information Law asserts that all these data should be available upon a formal request. However, journalism and the law work in different paces. While the law states that government must provide an answer to the request within 20 days, this website that you now browse was built in more or less one week.
Finally, the law does not require that private institutions abide to the same standards of transparency required of public ones. And it was in trying to obtain information of public interest – held in private hands – that contaRio journalists had more trouble.
With the goal of examining the price variation in match tickets before and after the reform in Maracanã Stadium, we contacted at the start of the week the main soccer organizations in the country. We sought to have access to ticket prices and the number of tickets sold in the stadium in the last 50 years. These are data that those organizations certainly have – or once had — as the money distributed among the teams are based on them.
Upon hearing our request, the press secretary for the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) simply hang up and refused to answer our many calls; the Football Federation for the State of Rio de Janeiro (Ferj) informed that it was obliged only to provide data for the last two years – which was essentially useless for our purposes, as Maracanã Stadium was mostly closed during this time; and scholars researching the history of soccer who we contacted told us that they have been trying to obtain the same data for the last five years, without any results. Thus, the ticket prices of Brazil's main stadium you'll find in these pages are not official. Rather, they are the collaboration of a ticket collector.
Data journalism allows us to tell stories with unprecedented precision and with easy-to-grasp visualization. But without accurate data, there is no data journalism.
We know little about german journalism in Brazil, unfortunately. But during our workshop at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation I realised that, notwithstanding some cultural differences, we are closer than I thought we could be. We believe in the same sort of quality journalism.
