It takes Sir Gulam Noon only 18 pages of his autobiography to get to the hurtful bit. Forget cash for honours, the 2006 scandal that denied him a seat in the House of Lords because of a £250,000 loan he had given the Labour party. What nibbles away is how others see him.
'A journalist once wrote that I was vulgar because I am fond of saying: "There is no substitute for money." As I said at the time, he is entitled to his view...'
He argues that if anyone should share his family background - impoverished Muslim market traders in Bombay (Mumbai) plunged into financial crisis after India's partition, when both Noon's uncle and father die - they too might feel the need to amass cash and show the world they are doing alright now.
But it's more than that. Sitting in his wood-panelled office above the Noon Products factory in London's Southall, Noon, 72, puts it simply. 'The only way out of the poverty trap was to earn money. I always had a hunger for cash.'
And so began his journey, rebuilding his father's business, making Indian sweets, then diversifying into property and manufacturing, and coming to Britain to try his luck. Now his factories are among the biggest manufacturers of Indian and other ethnic food in Britain, supplying Sainsbury's and Waitrose, and his business is part of Irish-based Kerry Foods, which keeps him on as 'ambassador' for the Noon operation.
In the process, he has become one of the best-known Asian entrepreneurs on these shores, wealthy in India and here, since he sold Noon Products and pocketed a fortune estimated at £50m. He is also a man who many feel was let down by party politics and the messy way we allow politicians to raise money in Britain.
His weakness, according to some, was a desperation to hobnob with royalty and prime ministers, and flaunt his wealth in Rolls-Royces and rich-list documentaries. No surprise that his chairman's office at Noon Products still has its long window-sill lined with framed photos showing Noon with the great and the good.
Perhaps his real weakness is people. He could have established Noon as a formidable food brand, but chose instead to supply supermarket own-label for two decades, as he didn't want to let down friends like Lord (David) Sainsbury. And much of his drive came from a domineering mother who instilled in him early the motto he lives by: 'You will be known by the friends you keep'. That window-sill is, I would guess, a display in her honour.
Anyway, as many of those photographed with Noon know, his obsession with people makes him an engaging host. His driver picks me up from Southall station. An aide takes me from the foyer to the first floor. Noon himself is waiting in his shirtsleeves at the lift doors. Short and stocky, his thick greying hair falling over an impatient-looking face, he appears less Indian than Iranian, testimony to his mother's Persian roots. 'I am half-Persian,' he says, proudly.
Tea is served. Noon has coffee, sitting by that photo-lined window. Outside, fireworks are already going off in Southall to celebrate the October festival of Diwali - good for business, as another of Noon's companies, Royal Sweets, will be dealing with the extra demand. Its Indian delicacies, made with nuts, ghee and cornflour, are the mainstay of every Indian celebration and where Noon's family wealth started.
'When a child is born: sweets. Diwali: sweets. Every function, from when you're born to when you die, you eat sweets. Moslem, Hindu, all religions,' says Noon with a broad smile.
He speaks Indian-inflected, occasionally mangled English with a sing-song cadence, and his face lights up as he talks. The impatience is replaced by a look of delight at capturing an audience. Noon is an expansive talker, his memories well-ordered by the process of completing his book (Noon, With a View: Courage and integrity, published this month by Whittles). In person, though, he throws in an earthy expletive or joke. He makes himself out to be a simple man. I suspect he is anything but.
The cash-for-honours scandal has left a taint. His generosity to the Labour party - donations of more than £100,000 - had already been linked with his knighthood in 2002. Three years later, the inference was that he had paid even more to get his name included on a list of those nominated for a peerage in 2005. He had, in fact, been asked for a loan for the party by Lord Levy, Tony Blair's fundraiser, which he had given. It was to be repaid with interest. He claims in his book that Levy told him not to declare the loan when his name was put forward for a peerage. When the press found out, there was a furore, and he was forced to decline the honour.
The affair became part of a police investigation, and eventually Noon was exonerated - but not before his motives were repeatedly questioned by hostile commentators. No charges were brought against Levy. Much hinged on the detail of who told what to whom with regards to declaring that loan. At this distance, it seems as if Noon was not well served by his friends in politics. Noon, for his part, suggests that he thought he was following legal advice in not declaring the loan. 'Who am I to contradict the mighty Labour party and its lawyers?'
But was he naive in thinking that, after the fuss in 2002, no-one would question the honour in 2005? Or was he just hungry for the esteem?
Neither, he counters: he did absolutely nothing wrong, and he felt he could make a contribution in the House of Lords. But looking back on it, he is sanguine. 'In life, you can't win all the time,' he says. 'Sometimes, you have to take a hit, and in cash-for-honours I took a bad hit.'
So who was responsible? His book insists he was badly advised by Levy, but it refuses to point the finger at Tony Blair. It does, however, offer an insight into a world where favours are thrown around too freely. At one stage, Noon, the Curry King, insists he was offered a safe Labour seat - ie, to be an MP - by Ruth Turner, then director of government relations, as compensation for his troubles. 'I said I was not interested,' he writes, with commendable calm.
It all seems bizarre now, but with the involvement of the police, it became deadly serious for Noon. Characteristically, he makes a joke of it, but you can imagine he was furious.
He says people in India can't understand it at all. 'In the small village my family come from, a chap says to me: "Sir, you are a rich man, you have everything, such a good image. Why did you borrow money from the Labour party?" I said I didn't borrow from them, I loaned to them. He says: "So what is the fucking problem? You gave them money and they are harassing you?" I said: You won't understand this, but life doesn't work like it does in India...'
He laughs loudly. He doesn't keep grudges, he says. 'Tony Blair apologised to me. I've forgiven him. He said he was devastated... It was the same thing Gordon Brown said: "We have treated you very badly."'
So does he regret not going to the House of Lords? Yes, he says, and he'd go like a shot if he was asked again. He argues passionately for more Muslim integration into British life, and is sharply critical of madrassa inculcation against western values. 'I've had a tremendous experience of life, I could be of some use.'
It's doubtful whether the Labour party would risk it again - Noon stands more chance of being nominated by mischievous Conservatives. He blanches at the suggestion. 'I'd only go if Labour asked me. I am not going to change my party.'
He has noted, however, that nothing has changed with regard to how political parties raise money - as George Osborne found out this summer. 'The parties should come together and think about it so this episode is not repeated,' he says. 'Maybe the state should provide (for political parties) and we all pay for it.'
Does Noon think he was an easy target? He was always ambitious and likes to display his wealth ostentatiously: lots of cars, personalised number-plates, profile pieces.
'Ostentatious?' he says, shaking his head. 'I don't think my life is ostentatious. I don't have a huge house, I have a few cars with personalised number plates, but every Tom, Dick and Harry has personalised number-plates. Where is the "lots of cars" when I have only two? Well, three. Yes, I had a Rolls, but it was too much for me. And I have a big car, because I am fond of shooting and hunting, and use it for that. The other is a Mercedes; thousands of people have those. I don't drink. I don't go to casinos...'
The truth is, many who did business with him expected him to enjoy the trappings of success, and it gave them reassurance in their relationships with him. For those outside business, that can be hard to understand.
According to a friend of Noon, it also reflects an Indian cultural need to demonstrate success. 'Gulam is not shy to show what he has achieved, but he's not arrogant. In fact, he's quite a humble man.' And as even Noon's critics admit, anyone who meets him finds it hard not to be charmed by his upbeat dynamism.
So why is he still sitting here, when he has sold control of his company and could be out chasing his passions: cricket, charity, connections? Because this is what he enjoys, he says. 'I come in every day. Ten elephants couldn't drag me back to my apartment,' he grins. His role as ambassador, for which he gets a token management fee, involves promoting the company, testing its products and liaising with staff. Kerry has slotted in its own team under managing director Bob Carnell, and they work closely with Noon.
Carnell admits it is a unique relationship, but then Noon Products - which provides 10% of Kerry's £1.3bn turnover - is a unique firm, with a special bond between staff and founder. 'The main difference, I guess, is that it's an Indian business making Indian food, and the authenticity of its food depends on it being made by Indian people who understand the spices,' says Carnell.
And many of these staff have worked for Sir Gulam for three decades. This is a link that Kerry Foods doesn't want broken. Noon himself has no contract, just a way of interacting with Carnell that both men enjoy. It works, says Noon, because both men want it to.
'I love it because I married the company to Kerry Foods, which looks after my business,' he says. 'I look at the products. I have a clean palate. If I don't like it, I tell the right people. And Indian food is still a huge growth market.'
But the food could be healthier, perhaps?
He shakes his head. 'I want you to remember that our food has no artificial colours or flavours - no, sir. Show me one E-number - no additives, we're almost natural. It's the authenticity of the spices, the best chicken and rice - that's how we created our image in the marketplace. Noon is synomous with traditional Indian food.'
Despite his huge success as a supplier of ready meals to major supermarkets, it's odd that he never took the next step and made Noon a well-known consumer brand. Patak's did. Shouldn't he have done the same?
Noon goes silent for while, then nods agreement. 'If I had waited to build the brand, I would have needed more money, which I didn't have. But you are absolutely right, it was a missed opportunity. The problem was, any capacity increase was eaten up by my customers (the supermarkets). Whether it was my mistake or the circumstances driving the business, I didn't do it. It was about our relationships. A 20-year relationship with Sainsbury's - imagine that.'
It is Lord Sainsbury who writes the foreword to Noon's autobiography, and - probably - it was Lord Sainsbury who first allowed his friend to put the Noon name on the back of the supermarket's own-brand Indian ready meals. That's highly unusual in the own-brand sector, a mark of the special relationship that Noon brokered.
It also explains his reluctance to go it alone. 'It is a question of my mindset. I was very loyal to Sainsbury, I would not let David Sainsbury down.' But, he says, the idea of a Noon brand launch is still a possibility. 'Now, we are making a concentrated effort. Next year we are coming out with Noon brands.'
Carnell is more reticent, admitting there are plans in the pipeline, but points out that establishing a brand - in Indian sauces, for example - would be hugely risky and expensive.
Noon might have had a run at it sooner if he hadn't spent much of the 1990s rebuilding his business after a serious factory fire. The event clearly traumatised him, and in his book he compliments those who stood by him, but rails against others: the insurance company, which was reluctant to pay him a penny, and the rivals who shamelessly strove to take advantage. One offered him a cut of future profits to hand over his contracts, abandon his staff and walk away, cash in hand.
'I would never do that,' he says. 'There were 250 people crying with me outside, that night. I am not going to say: "I have a pocketful of money, you can go home."'
Then there was the rival who phoned round Indian suppliers saying: 'Don't accommodate Noon. We can get his business from Sainsbury and Waitrose.'
Noon turns up his palms. 'God has a way of dealing with people. A few years later, this same rival's factory was on fire, and I sent my daughter to stand there and say: "If there is anything we can do for you, we will do it." That's the difference. And we did produce things for him.'
And while the setback nearly killed his business, others say it also cemented a bond with staff - who were kept on full pay without work - that other firms could never replicate. It also focused Noon's investment. 'I think adversity of such a nature gives you opportunity,' he says. He got bigger factories, more modern sites, he turned a setback into a step forward.
But that positivity is Noon to the core - he believes the best of most that he encounters. When disabused, he just moves on. This desire to keep building is the code that underpins his life. He says he was just born different to his five siblings. 'I was restless, I had a hunger to get out of the poverty trap, not be poor. My elder brother was more like my father, more calm. He's retired now and thinks I am bloody working like a dog. He will never understand my philosophy...'
He laughs. Noon was the third child of six, with an elder brother and sister. He says his father was hen-pecked. His mother had been married first to his uncle, then, when he died, to Noon's father, already married to another woman (as a Muslim, he could take two wives). In the book, Noon's mother emerges as a formidable character, determined to hold the family together, covertly encouraging her entrepreneur son but never letting him upset the pre-ordained hierarchy of a family business.
Noon, it turns out, is his mother's nickname for him, not his real name. But he is quick to see where names count. As a young man he changed the name of his family's sweet business from Kamruddin Ebrahimjee - his uncle's Muslim name - to Royal Sweets, to encourage non- Muslims to shop there. His mother, he says, slapped his face for disrespecting the family name, but she had to acknowledge he was right.
The family had a shop in Mumbai's Crawford Market, and a small room where people made the sweets. When Noon's father died, that business was close to bankruptcy but was held together by his elder sister's husband. The trail from there, learning at the knee of his father's accountant, pushing at the conservative instincts of his brother-in-law, is well told in his book.
His early attempt to investigate commercial possibilities in Britain was blocked by his mother. But by 1966, with the family business now resting on solid foundations, she let him go, with introductions to a Pakistani business family who had interests here. Noon arrived the day England won the World Cup, and fell instantly in love with the country.
'And that has never diminished.' He had been fascinated by Britain from the newsreels he'd seen at the cinema in Mumbai. 'The British are such a cultured people, nobody is honking horns, nobody is shouting, you ask a policeman something and they bend over backwards to help you. I vowed then and there to come back and start a business here.'
He began with sweets, then was drawn into a food venture with the Taj Hotel group in America. It lost money, but what he learnt about food technology there was invaluable. When he returned to Britain, he launched into frozen Indian ready meals. His empire was born.
He made sacrifices. His first wife left him - England was too cold for her. He has since remarried twice. He has two daughters from his first marriage. He loves cricket, and he compares his decision-making to a wrist shot - instinctive, done in a split second. 'There are entrepreneurs like me: they take opinion from consultants but do exactly what instinct tells them. My rationale is: if those consultants are so bloody good, why aren't they entrepreneurs? You don't build ships to keep them in harbour; they should be on the high sea. My motto is: if you don't take risks, you risk even more.'
He could go on. And he will, because he has no plans to retire. 'I have put in a date for my retirement. It's when I am 102,' he chuckles.
Will he really still be putting in the hours in 10 years' time? He shrugs. 'Ten years is a long time. My roots are here, but it doesn't mean I love India any the less. I have just opened a hospital in Rajasthan. I am very fond of that place, given five years to that. It was my dream to build it there for the poor community, and wipe their tears.'
And next? 'If life is still with me and I have energy, I would like to build a boarding school there too, for everybody, rich and poor.'
But now, he needs to go to the MT photo-shoot. 'Wait,' he says, and bustles off down the corridor, leaving me to admire his friends. He returns with a chill-bag stuffed with ready-meals. 'You must try these,' he smiles, and hands them over with a stiff bow. His driver takes me back to the rail station, talking so affectionately about his boss and the business he has built up that it's hard not to be won over. When I get out of the car, he asks ever-so-politely: 'Do you like Indian sweets?'
Love them, I say. He opens the boot and hands me a box. 'For Diwali,' he says and smiles, as another firework pops in the distance.

Inflatable Kayak Review – Innova Helios EX
By Victoria Holt-Adams
I got a new kayak a couple of months ago and wanted to tell you all about it. The Innova Helios EX is a versatile lightweight kayak. It handles like a dream once you get used to it, though I do recommend buying the Helios tandem model if you're paddling with a partner.
I will admit I was attracted to it not just because of its light weight and faster drying time, but also because it is used by the Canadian Ranger Kayak Patrol for search and rescue work.
I tried the Helios EX, both by itself and with the foot rudder and sail. I have to say, it was very easy to control and handled much better than I expected. Water does tend to get into it quite easily though, and I ended up with a wet bottom. It was a good thing I was wearing a swimming suit so the water didn't bother me very much.
Much to my amazement, the Innova Helios EX glides right over small obstacles with no damage to the boat. It is very durable and doesn't roll easily.
I did make certain to intentionally roll it, and found re-boarding to be a breeze. There are no rough spots to catch you up upon re-entry; you just slide right in as if you are greased.
I would recommend the Innova Helios EX to anyone looking for a light weight, yet durable kayak and an investment in good clean fun.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Editor's Note: The photo above is a file image. Scroll down for photos of the plastic.
A South Florida nature center made a sad discovery while a turtle in its care was recovering from surgery.
The turtle came into the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center for hook removal surgery and began passing large pieces of plastic debris.
Over the course of a week, the turtle -- named Zatanna -- passed more than 100 pieces of plastic. There were bottle caps, pieces of cutlery, garbage, Zip-lock bags and large plastic shards.
Those at the center believe Zatanna was likely searching for food in open water where floating mats of trash are more commonly being found.
In a Facebook post, the nature center took a stance against single-use plastics saying, "We must take a stand by refusing single-use plastics!"

A man who led Gardai on a high-speed pursuit in Letterkenny has been spared prison.
James Deegan (27), of 23 Prehen Park in Derry, was given a six-month suspended sentence following the incident on October 20, 2018, described a Judge as 'truly atrocious'.
During an 11-minute pursuit, Deegan reached speeds of 170km/h and, somehow, avoided injuring or killing someone in the process.
At 11pm on the night in question, Gardai observed a grey Scoda Octavia traveling at speed from the Ramelton Road to De Valera Road in Letterkenny.
Sergeant Jim Collins told Letterkenny District Court that Gardai activated the lights and siren and pursued the vehicle, which 'took off and failed to stop'.
Deegan travelled at speeds of 120km/h on De Valera Road, overtaking vehicles and forcing oncoming cars to 'swerve from his path'.
At Port Road, cars again had to take evasive action, with Deegan now reaching speeds as high as 140km/h.
Deegan, the court heart, swerved into two-lanes of oncoming traffic after the Polestar Roundabout after overtaking vehicles.
Gardai followed Deegan onto the dual carriageway on the N14 Letterkenny-Derry road, with the defendant traveling at 160-170km/h.
"The traffic unit deployed a stinger and caught the vehicle's front tyres" Sergeant Collins said. "The vehicle continued at 160-170km/h for a number of kilometres until it began to slow down."
The front tyre of the Octavia blew out at the Manor roundabout.
Three patrol cars stopped Deegan, who was arrested for dangerous driving and driving under the influence of intoxicants. €40 of cannabis, which was for the defendant's own use, was found in the vehicle.
"His actions were inexcusable," Deegan's solicitor, Gordon Curley, told the Court.
Deegan, a 27-year-old father-of-one whose partner is expecting their second child, has been receiving treatment for lymphoma.
"This was totally out of character," Mr Curley said. "This was totally out of the blue. He is very contrite and ashamed. He has no rational explanation for his actions."
Mr Curley said his client 'panicked' as he was in possession of a bag of cannabis and 'didn't want to get caught'.
Addressing the court, Deegan admitted that his actions were 'unacceptable'.
Judge Kelly said he was taking into account Deegan's early plea, the defendant's personal circumstances and the fact that he appeared 'very contrite' in court.
"Fortunately, in spite of that, and no thanks to you, no-one was injured and that was a matter of pure luck," Judge Paul Kelly said, noting that the case 'undoubtedly warrants a custodial sentence'.
Deegan was given a six-month sentence, suspended for two years on his own bond of €500, disqualified for two years and fined €500.
Judge Kelly reminded Deegan of the tragic accident on Sunday night in west Donegal, in which four young men lost their lives.
The Judge said Deegan could consider himself 'extremely lucky' to avoid a custodial sentence.

Marcy's memory test for PRO v0.5.apk (Mediafire)
- OS: Android 5.1 or later
- MB allowed / app in ROM: 384 - 512 MB ( check the app above ↑↑ )
- RAM: 1.5 Gb +
- CPU: 1.2 Ghz (dual core) +
- Graph: OpenGL ES 2.0 or later
2. Facts to check
- General knowledge
- Make sure you have installed the latest version of the APK
- Your device is qualified because you know its properties and are similar/better than you read before
- The APK installed correctly because you had "Unknown sources" active and so on
- You have closed all the background app's that you had opened before to clean up RAM
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: There have been some problems with downloads directly from devices. I highly recommend to download the apk archive from your computer and then transfer it to your mobile device.
IF YOUR KEYBOARD DOESN'T SHOW UP: Try installing another another and disabling/uninstalling the old one. This usually fixes it. I highly recommend Google Keyboard. Those that don't consume too much RAM memory are the best.
AVOIDING "PARSE ERROR": You'll need to try several file explorers. The best for installing apk archives is Astro File Explorer
- Developer options
- "Force GPU rendering" = disabled.
- "Force MSAA 4x" = disabled.
- "Disable HW overlays" = unchecked.
- "Background process limit" = "Standart limit".
- "Allow mock locations" = disabled.
- "Logger buffer sizes" = 256K per log buffer.
- "Simulate color space" = disabled.
3. Clean installation
- Go to Settings -> Apps and look for PRO
- Force stop
- Clear both data and cache
- Uninstall
- Reboot your device
- Install again the apk and retry
4. Increasing VM Heap Size (ROOT users)
- Download my app from "Requirements section" and check the memory
- Download and install from Google Play this app: RAM Manager Free
- Open it and grant Root permissions
- Skip ads and slide from left side to right (options menu)
- Tap on "EXTRA"
- Select "VM HEAP SIZE"
- Slide the bar to the maximum allowed (if it's at its max value, stop here, you can't upgrade it)
- Accept to reboot your phone
- Run my app again to check if it changed
- Perform a clean installation (Point 3)
5. Changing the runtime system on 4.4 version
5.1. If you do NOT have root access
- Go to "Developer options" under settings.
- Tap on "Select runtime".
- Choose "Use ART".
- Reboot your phone manually.
- Reinstall APK of the game.
5.2. If you DO have root access (advanced and risky)
- Make a full back up of your phone from your recovery, please.
- Wipe DALVIK cache and reboot (optional)
- Download and open a terminal.
- Write this and press enter
- Now, write this and enter again
setprop persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib libart.so
- Reboot your phone manually or by writing this and enter then
- Reinstall APK of the game.
6. Flash another Kernel/ROM (very risky)
If you've reached this point, it means that you didn't get it to work properly following the other points. Unfortunately, there is nothing more in this guide that could help you, since each device is unique and there are thousands of them. The title says it all: you need to find another ROM. It will be a complicated road with a lot of obstacles. Life is hard and we have to fight it. If something makes you sweat, it worths to be done. Don't let anyone tell what you can do or not. It's inside yourself. Stand up and start building a better future! Act! Jump high! You have the power of changing your own life. You are the only one that can rise up everytime you fall. Forget about being stuck in
Now, seriously, due to general request, here's a brief introduction about this point:
6.1. What is a ROM?
One of the best things about the openness of the Android platform is that if you're unhappy with the stock OS, you can install one of many modified versions of Android (called ROMs) on your device. A new ROM can bring you the latest version of Android before your manufacturer does, or it can replace your manufacturer-modded version of Android with a clean, stock version.
6.2. How can I flash one?
There are thousands devices and all of them are different each other. Thus there is not a unique method for all of them. I highly recommend to check XDA Developers forum and look for your model. There are lots of guides and tutorials around it. Remember, it's a complicated process in most of the cases. Take care and remember always to make a back up of your important data and current ROM.
Of course!But, marcylene, have you tried it all yourself or you messing us? :proud:
Feel free to ask whatever and, please, give me a feedback if you tried it! :Shy:Self-Tested devices:
- Jiayu G5S + Stock 4.4.2 = worked after changing Dalvik to ART.
- Jiayu G5S + Cyanogenmod 12.1 (5.1.1) = works.
- Sony Xperia M2 Aqua + Stock 5.1.1 = works.
- Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 + Sotck 4.4 = worked after changing Dalvik to ART.
IMPORTANT NOTE: it seems to work in all Cyanogenmod's ROM!
Thanks to my super-reporters:
- BigBrainAFK for testing the game on all Sony Xperia Z series: Z1, Z1c, Z2, Z2c, Z3, Z3c and Z5 + 5.1.1 on all = works.
- ImMrLemons: "I finally gave in and flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 for my Galaxy S5. Thankfully PRO did work after it was installed."
- shay3100 for testing on Nexus 5x with 6.0.1 MM = works.
- Rafaella: Samsung Galaxy Gran Prime Duos VE [G531H] - Works with Little to none graphic stuttering (Android 5.1.1 Lollipop [stock with Touchwiz UI])."
- Arnie for running benchmark with Galaxy S4 and Note 4 (Both are running CM12.1). "PRO requires upwards of 748MB of free operating RAM to work properly. Shane developes android PRO on a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE, and a note 4/5. The former of which has 2GB RAM."
- Aeolian successfully changed Dalvik to ART runtime under android 4.4.2 in a Samsung Galaxy (did not specified which model)
- Jasmer: "I can confirm this game works no problem on the HTC Desire 626s (T-Mobile Model) You don't have to do any special things to get this game to run on it."
- Kebren: "I would like to inform that the game runs on Samsung Grand Prime now too! and really smooth."
- tanfo92 who got it to work in a Samsung Galaxy S4 after updating to 5.0.1 version.
- northedan: "I installed the game on my Moto G2 (Android 6.0). The game opens, but when this loading files it closes suddenly... (later) ...Thanks Marcylene, I did you 'Clean installation Tutorial' and worked for me."

An Academic Paper for The University for Peace in Costa Rica - by Caroline Kennedy The first time I became personally involved with "global initiatives" involving theatre was in 1982 when Peace Child International, a British NGO, was conceived in the living room of a friends' house in Buntingford, Hertfordshire, some fifty miles north of London.

By Caroline Kennedy 1993 Over the years friends have given up asking me what I am doing. Few of them are ever surprised any more.

The Letter
There is a letter, quite a long one, in fact. Since I can't show it to you, I shall describe it. It is handwritten, in ballpoint pen, in a sprawling, unfamiliar script, covering both sides of a sheet of graph paper, probably ripped from a child's exercise book. You can see it was written in … Continue reading The Letter
Nestled into the lush foothills of the massive southern mountain range overlooking Costa Rica's Central Valley the ramshackle fortress of El Buen Pastor has obviously fallen on hard times. Not so long ago it was deemed unfit for its current use and condemned for demolition. So further down the road a more modern extension is … Continue reading

French drinks company Pernod Ricard is set to launch a series of music events across three continents, called the Boiler Room Festival.
The Boiler Room Festival which will hold in London, Los Angeles and Johannesburg, will be the first partnership between Pernod Ricard and the music platform Boiler Room.
For the London edition, the main festival destination will be the 'Basecamp' in Copeland Park, in Peckham. Four Pernod Ricard brands will work with Boiler Room to host a series of interactive, multimedia exhibitions that reveal stories behind each music 'pillar' at the show.
The four pillars will include: the London Jazz Scene, supported by Beefeater Gin; Underground Rap, supported by Jameson; Sound System Culture, supported by Ballantine's; and Future Club Sounds, supported by Absolut Vodka.
Alexandre Ricard, chairman and CEO of Pernod Ricard, said: "Music, like our products, brings people together and creates moments of conviviality.
"Blaise [Belville, founder and CEO of Boiler Room] and I share the same values of sharing and authenticity, and I am very happy about our partnership to work alongside Boiler Room and have consumers get to know our brands at the Boiler Room Festival."
Furthermore, Boiler Room has launched Brand Labs, a new arm that will work to connect "forward-thinking" brands with Generation Z audiences, to maximise the potential of Boiler Room's cultural knowledge and global network of music artists.
Belville added: "With Boiler Room Festival, we are creating a shared music moment on our biggest ever stage. It's the culmination of everything we've built up over the best part of a decade, and we're happy to have found in Pernod Ricard a partner who shares and supports this vision."

New Museum Tells Krakow's Stories of World War II (Ruth Ellen Gruber)
KRAKOW — In the mid-1990s, I took a "Schindler's List" tour of sites made famous by Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-winning movie, which recounts how the German businessman Oskar Schindler saved the lives of 1,100 Jews by employing them at his enamelware factory in Krakow during World War II.

Since early October, millions of people around the world have been fascinated by the story of a 15-year-old murder. It's a true-life tale documented not on HBO or Netflix, but in the form of a free podcast called Serial. As it turns out, Serial is the most popular podcast ever in the history of the medium, garnering over 1.5 million downloads for each episode. So why did this particular story spread like wildfire, and what can we learn about storytelling from Serial's tremendous popularity?
First, for those not familiar with the series, Serial delves into the story of the 1999 murder of high-school senior, Hae Min Lee, a promising student and athlete. Fellow student and ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed was tried and convicted of her murder in 2000, and is serving a life-plus-30 year sentence for the crime. He has claimed his innocence for over 15 years.
A Winding Path of Intrigue
Starting with the very first episode of the podcast, host and executive producer Sarah Koenig leads us down a winding path littered with false evidence, possible red herrings, unreliable witnesses and potential legal malfeasance. The story is intriguing, as intriguing as anything on television or the big screen, maybe more so.
Koenig points out that there are many inconsistencies with the case. An eyewitness, the prosecution's star witness, is a friend of both Syed and Lee whom Koenig refers to only as "Jay." Jay could be exaggerating, lying or telling the truth. Each possibility is plausible, depending on the episode and the evidence at the time.
As intriguing as Serial is, it's not perfect. The pace of the story seems both too fast and too plodding at the same time. Plunky piano music marks the beginning and end of each episode, symbolizing both anticipation and disappointment: Anticipation for answers and disappointment when the answers don't come or are vague. Despite these glitches, we return week after week, riveted to our devices, listening for that "a-ha" moment and feeling crestfallen when it doesn't come.
Extensive Media Coverage
Many supplementary podcasts discuss the ins and outs of the case, and there is a SubReddit dedicated to not only discussions of the case, but also to the creation of a scholarship fund for students of the high school in the name of the victim. Traditional journalistic outlets such The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are among the hundreds of news outlets and blogs that discuss the story, dissect the trials and include photographs of key locations in the suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, where the crime took place.
For storytellers, Serial is a great case study on storytelling done right. So what can we take away from Serial? Following are three essential storytelling "truths" that this series has masterfully put into practice.
Truth #1: Don't Sacrifice Quality Storytelling for Style
First, Koenig doesn't try to make a stylistic statement by jumping ahead in the story, nor does she force our hand by leading us to conclusions. She never make clear what her position is until the final episode, episode 12. Even then, she leaves us to come to our own conclusions. We all learn the facts with her. Koenig is the protagonist in this drama, our grown-up Nancy Drew investigating leads, questioning witnesses bringing us into the case clue-by-clue.
Truth #2: Keep Your Audience Coming Back
Week after week, we return, ravenous for new clues or new insights into this increasingly troubling case. Much like peeling the skin of an onion, Koenig pulls back each layer of the story to reveal more questions—some about Syed's innocence, some about Jay's guilt, questions about who is lying and to whom. Each episode is punctuated with a subtle cliffhanger, a small revelation or question to ponder for the seven days between each podcast.
This technique is not new; it dates back to the old penny dreadful pulp novels of the 1900s and the movie serials and radio dramas of the early 20th century. All serials have a continuing plot that unfolds gradually, episode by episode. This adds to the anticipation and sometimes the major disappointment of the finale.
Truth #3: Leave Your Audience Wanting More
Some books and modern television programs have done masterful jobs of concluding serial dramas. But it seems that the serial dramas that do an unsatisfactory job of tying up the story seem to make the most headlines. Usually, the mistake is tying up loose ends too well; that is, not allowing those of us in the audience, who essentially have our own relationship with the characters, to naturally come to our own conclusions. Conversely, if the ending is ambiguous or hard to understand, such as the finale of Lost or The Sopranos, that can also cause an uproar in the serial world.
When we conclude with one highly engaging series, we naturally want to grab on to something similar that will bring us that same feeling. Like junkies looking for a fix, many of us who absorbed the Harry Potter series then gravitate to the Twilight books and other adolescent fare such the Hunger Games. Will we then see more serial podcasts? More true crime dramas drawn out over weeks to inspire speculation and build mounting suspense? Many people believe that Serial will bring podcasting into the mainstream and encourage the medium. Maybe so, but ultimately what we as humans crave is good storytelling. And when we're given what we crave, the medium–books, television, theater, or podcast— is perhaps irrelevant.

Kate took a long slow breath, savoring the hot, humid scents of the woods. Suddenly her mood was shattered by a loud bang immediately followed by a second report. The steering wheel jerked almost out of her hands. The car lurched out of control.
The purple jalopy careened toward the side of the road– a rough flapping noise coming from the right front side of the car.
A blowout.
She fought for control. A fleeting regret for all the things she would miss if she died flashed across her mind. She wasn't ready to die. She fought to hold the jalopy on the narrow pavement–to keep it from rolling over into the deep ditch beside the road. No brakes; that might destroy any chance at control. She took her foot off the gas to let the car slow naturally. Time seemed to crawl while the car lurched first to one side of the road and then the other as the adrenalin surging through her veins made her overcorrect. She clutched the wheel, knuckles white, battling to straighten out after each swerve. She had just begun to think she might make it when the road made a right angle turn by the Miller farm. She couldn't hold the curve. The jalopy hung on the side of the road momentarily then plunged off the road and down the embankment. With a last desperate turn of the wheel, she aimed the car directly down the slope to prevent it from rolling over. The jalopy came to rest in a shallow stream at the bottom of the embankment, nose down in a foot of muddy water.

The Sun enters Gemini on May 21, 2019 at 3:58 am ET
The Sun is now in the 3rd and final zodiac sign of the spring season. The birds are singing a lot these days, sending many messages to their siblings and family – a perfect demonstration of the talkative, communicative nature of Gemini. The desire to communicate will be increased with the Sun in Gemini, and the subject matter of interest at this time is likely to be geared toward the topics associated with your own sun sign.
Gemini is a mutable sign, and is therefore considered flexible and adaptable which works well to change subjects in conversations and interactions.
Gemini also represents a duality, and is considered highly versatile, liking to dabble in a lot of different areas at once, considering different perspectives, and multitasking.
Conversations that energize and enliven will give you a boost of mental energy and clarity. Though gossip and small talk can be fun in the spring air, do keep things light and considerate so everyone can feel good enjoying the interactions.
When the Sun is in Gemini opinions can change quickly, with new information putting you on a different train of thought. It is wise to be open to listening to a variety of points of view regarding decision making when the Sun is in Gemini.
Gemini does tend to look at things in a superficial way and may quickly accept information as true at face value without probing a little deeper for foundational facts. Though logically oriented, rather than emotional, Gemini can be more interested in opinion and gossip than deeply educated or philosophical perspectives.
Knowing a little about a lot of different subjects can make for good conversation starters, but having full knowledge of a subject is less likely for the Gemini way of thinking. Because of this, deep debates on heavy subjects with full facts and figures can be difficult and frustrating. Do be cautious as the superficial nature of Gemini can l make it easier for information powerhouses to take advantage of people's naivety: News outlets can suddenly sway opinions in different directions depending on the information that is selectively on display while other information is purposefully omitted to create an intended perception.
The Sun is in Gemini until June 21, 2019 at 11:53 am ET.
Mercury in Gemini meets the Sun in Gemini on May 21, 2019 at 9:06 am ET.

Dental Implants – Battle Creek, MI
With today's modern dental techniques & technologies, dental implants are the best choice for replacing missing teeth & restoring your smile to both beauty & functionality. Here are a few answers to the most common questions we hear about dental implants so you can understand how this innovative & reliable treatment works. If you are interested in dental implants to restore your smile, please contact us for a consultation.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots made from titanium & are anchored in the gum & jawbone. The implant's screw-like shape helps it stay in place by providing more surface area for your bone to grow into, a process called osseointegration. Replacement teeth, referred to as crowns, are then permanently secured to these metal implants. They can improve your appearance, boost your self-confidence & allow you to speak with greater clarity.
What are mini dental implants?
Those who may not be eligible for standard implants due to bone loss may be eligible for mini implants. Mini implants are smaller than standard implants so they don't need as much space in the bone to be installed. Mini implants are used to secure an advanced kind of dentures or partial dentures. These dentures are much more secure than standard dentures because they clip on to the mini implants instead of being attached by adhesives. Patients who have implant-supported dentures are often able to eat many foods that they might not have been able to with standard dentures.
Mini dental implants can also be a slightly more affordable option for whole-mouth restoration than a full set of standard dental implants. You will need to have a consultation with the dentist in order to determine if mini implants is a good option for you.Request Your Appointment Online or Call us today at 269-963-3894.
