BBC hands back Panorama RTS award

The BBC has handed back an RTS award won by Panorama documentary Primark - On The Rack after the BBC Trust ruled a scene may not have been genuine.

The corporation said on Monday "a serious error" was made and it would be "inappropriate" to keep the award.

The trust ruled on 16 June it was "more likely than not" that a scene showing boys working in a Bangalore clothing workshop was "not genuine".

But reporter Dan McDougall, who filmed the scene, called the ruling "unjust".

The documentary, shown on BBC One on 23 June 2008, won a current affairs prize at the prestigious Royal Television Society Awards in February 2009.

The contested undercover footage showed three boys "testing" Primark brown vest tops to make sure that sequins would not fall off.

The trust ordered an on-air apology which was broadcast before last week's edition of Panorama.

The apology was also published on the front page of the Panorama website.

“We acknowledge that a serious error was made and therefore it would be inappropriate to keep the RTS award”

BBC statement

The BBC said on Monday that it had "apologised for including a short section of film which could not be authenticated in the programme".

"We acknowledge that a serious error was made and therefore it would be inappropriate to keep the RTS award."

Following the BBC Trust's ruling, Primark said millions of people had been "deceived by Panorama".

"Viewers who watched the programme, shoppers who were then fed the lie, sourcing experts who believed the lie, teachers and pupils who viewed the programme in lessons, have all been badly let down," a spokesman said.

But freelance journalist Dan McDougall said: "In the BBC Trust's own words, there is not 'one piece of irrefutable and conclusive evidence' to support the allegation that the sequence in the programme had been staged," he said.

These Gorgeous Spotlight Speakers Beam Sound, Not Light [Speakers]

I love cool things that look like other cool things. These bee-yoo-tee-ful speakers by designer Michael Young look like something you'd use to light up a zeppelin. But despite the Art Deco prettiness, they're teched-out iPhone-docking, iTunes-streaming speakers. More »

Summit 'to shape' forests policy

Related Stories

Forestry ministers from across Europe are attending a summit to shape future policy on how woodlands are managed.

Delegates from 46 nations are expected to decide whether they will go ahead and establish a legally binding agreement on forest management.

Ministers at the three-day gathering in Oslo are also set to adopt resolutions that will help shape European forest policy for the next decade.

It is estimated that forests cover more than half of Europe's land area.

"Forest Europe is a unique process for sharing information and experience between different countries," said host minister Lars Peder Brekk.

"It is a very important conference, and I hope we can get good results," he told BBC News.

“It can be a model for such legislation and work in other parts of the world”

Lars Peder Brekk

Mr Brekk explained that there were two main goals for the sixth meeting of ministers.

"One is to consider the goals, targets and actions for Forest Europe for the coming years.

"And for me, as the minister that is leading this work, it is also very important to make progress and launch the proceedings for the legally binding agreement."

He added that launching the process towards such an agreement would be a "huge success" for the sixth ministerial gathering since Forest Europe was established in 1990.

Mr Brekk said: "It is very important for the future - it can be a model for such legislation and work in other parts of the world."

However, he was keen to stress that management of forest resources remained under the sovereignty of individual nations, and any agreement through the Forest Europe process would be more about sharing information and experiences.

Among the resolutions to be considered by ministers are targets for nations to achieve by 2020, including developing and implementing national forest programmes.

Also, it is hoped that the conference will agree to look at standardising ways to assess the value of ecological services provided by forests.

As far as making progress on a legally binding agreement, delegations have been presented with plans to establish a working group that will oversee progress towards a universal approach.

On Tuesday, the conference is being officially opened by Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, and the State of Europe's Forest 2011 report is set to be published.

Norbert Leo Butz wins best actor in a musical Tony (AP)

NEW YORK ? Norbert Leo Butz has won the Tony Award for best actor in a musical.

Butz, who plays a frumpy FBI agent hot on the heels of a con man in "Catch Me If You Can" takes home his second Tony. His previous win was in 2005 for "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

Butz was in the original Broadway casts of "Rent" and "Wicked." He also famously replaced Jeremy Piven when that actor left the cast of the hit Broadway revival of "Speed-the-Plow" in 2008 after claiming he suffered from food poisoning.

This year, Butz beat out Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells, both nominated from "The Book of Mormon," Joshua Henry from "The Scottsboro Boys" and Tony Sheldon in "Priscilla Queen of the Desert: The Musical."

Panama To Host Billabong ISA World Surfing ... - Adventure Travel News

One of the most important tournaments for international surfers, the Billabong ISA World Surfing Games, will take place in Panama from June 25 to July 3, 2011. While other destinations were considered to host this tournament, ISA and Billabong were impressed by Panama because of its perfect waves throughout the year, both on the Pacific and Atlantic coast.

Panama has the experience of hosting many surfing tournaments; however, this is the first time that the country will host a major championship for this unique sport. Its strategic location, warm climate and position as a major air hub for Latin America, make Panama the ideal location for the prestigious competition, which is expected to attract more than 200 participants from 35 countries. ?Panama is a suitable destination to enjoy a variety of water sports, but it is has especially ideal conditions for surfing. The celebration of the Billabong ISA World Surfing Games give us the opportunity to show the world the beautiful beaches and infrastructure that we have for all fans of this exciting activity,? said Mr. Solomon Shamah, Panama?s Minister of Tourism.

Panama?s beaches already enjoy worldwide recognition due to the white sands and clear waters that are home to many coral reefs. Moreover, some of Panama?s 365 San Blas islands in the Caribbean are completely deserted, making them ideal for experiencing full contact with nature while swimming or diving.

In addition to a wide range of hotels in Panama City and other regions, Panama offers a rich and lush natural biodiversity that positions it as an attractive tourist option for leisure travelers, ecotourism and adventure tourism. Among the various initiatives that Panama offers its visitors, is free medical insurance in case of emergency. This new service demonstrates to visitors the country?s interest in assuring a smooth and pleasant visit, and reinforces the position of Panama as one of the best tourist destinations in Latin America.

Juelz Santana To Appear On 'RapFix Live' Wednesday

After missing the Diplomats' 'RapFix' visit due to legal drama, Juelz will sit down with Sway on Wednesday at 4 p.m. on MTV.com.
By Alvin Blanco

Harlem is coming to MTV News this Wednesday, when Juelz Santana visits "RapFix Live." The flashy member of the reunited Diplomats was AWOL when Cam'ron, Jim Jones and Frekey Zekey sat down with Sway Calloway back in January, but Juelz will get a chance to discuss what he and the Dipset have cooking on the "RapFix" couch.

Juelz has been laying relatively low lately but will have plenty to discuss. In February, the "Mic Check" rapper was arrested on marijuana and weapons charges stemming from a raid of his New Jersey studios by authorities. Dealing with the ramifications of those legal entanglements — rapper Hynief, a member of Juelz's Skull Gang crew, was also arrested — is one of the reasons Juelz wasn't present when the Diplomats were on "RapFix Live."

With his legal troubles in the rearview, Juelz will also be discussing his forthcoming new album, Born to Lose, Built to Win. The Diplomats also have a new project on the way, which will be released via Interscope Records, according to various members.

MTV News will be sure to ask for updates on the status of I Can't Feel My Face, Juelz's long-in-the-works collaborative album with Lil Wayne, and his status with Def Jam Records.

You can also expect Juelz, who last weekend hit Hot 97's Summer Jam stage with Lloyd Banks and with the Diplomats, to a spit a hot 16 before concluding his visit. There is no telling what is going to go down on this week's episode of "RapFix Live"!

Visit MTV.com on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET to watch Juelz Santana on "RapFix Live"!

Home Staging on a Budget ? Nashville Real Estate - Nashville And ...

Post image for Home Staging on a Budget

Although hiring a professional home stager is very beneficial to sellers, there are also easy and inexpensive ways to make your home more attractive to potential buyers.

De-cluttering is absolutely free and so essential. ?Hiding your home behind too much stuff is distracting. ?Having personal and sentimental items out makes it more difficult for buyers to imagine themselves living in your home.

Have a very honest friend come over to share their thoughts about your home. ?Someone who doesn?t live there is more likely to notice the things we see every day and may overlook. ?Have them walk through and point out anything that stands out negatively.

Make your home sparkle and shine! ?Yes, it is a big hassle constantly keeping your home clean for showings, but it?s so important. ?Something that may help is having a professional come in and do a deep cleaning before you go on the market.

Add colorful flowers to your vases. ?So simple, yet so effective.

KCRW Presents: Hot Chip

  • "Take It In"
  • "I Feel Better"
  • "Hand Me Down Your Love"
  • "Alley Cats"
  • "One Life Stand"
  • "Thieves in the Night"

Hot Chip's 2010 album One Life Stand topped many "best of" lists last year and was a mainstay on KCRW's airwaves. For its Morning Becomes Eclectic debut, the U.K. electro-pop group played highlights from that release, while adding special extra touches, like steel drums in "I Feel Better." The guys had been touring quite a bit and were in fine form: When they get a solid groove going, you can just tell they're in a zone. Hot Chip released its debut in 2000, and it's great to see that the band just gets better and better in its second decade.

A Dream for a Better World ? Blog Archive ? Is Qivana The Answer ...

Qivana is a Multilevel Marketing home-based business that sells nutrition products. This is a remarkably new home based business, which just opened its doors to IBOs, independent business owners, a couple years back. The company was inaugurated by the following 5 men: Derek Hall, Rodney James, Devin Glazier, Justin Banner, and Craig Johnson, who are all veterans of the network marketing industry. They have backgrounds in multilevel marketing companies such as Xango Tahitian Noni, and NuSkin. Qivana?s line of products was developed primarily by one individual, Dr. Marcus Laux. He has professional training in naturopathic medicine, and is the Chief Science Officer of Qivana.

The Qivana Review uncovers a 3-part health philosophy: Stabilize, Vitalize and Optimize. The philosophy is split into two fundamental sections. The first there us the Qore System. This classification is additionally subdivided into Qore Essentials, Qore Probiotics, Qore Defense, and Qore Detox. There are different kinds of nutritional products, proposed to be taken in a definite arrangement. The second is Metaboliq, which is above all a loss of weight system. There are four main products within the weight loss system: Metaboliq Shake, Metaboliq Stick, Metaboliq Boost, and Metaboliq Resist.

From the time this is being written, the initial price is $45.00, plus a product purchase agreement, which starts at $65.00 monthly (on auto ship) plus $250 to obtain supplements to distribute. So the entire cost to commence your home based business is $315.00, but different people will request much greater autoship volumes, which allows them to become ready for bigger earnings plan earnings from the outset.

Qivana pays IBOs, Independent Business Owners, in three ways: team Commissions, Bonuses, and Retail Commissions. The home based business utilizes a Binary compensation plan. This means that your crew of representatives will fall into two separate legs, left and right. The leg with inferior revenue is where an IBO gains 10% of the aggregate gains of that leg. To begin acquiring profits you must be active with 100PV (point value) monthly, have 500GV (group volume) or bigger in the lower leg, and on one?s own sponsor at least 2 active IBOs, one in each leg. There is also a whole succession of Bonuses in which ancillary profits are attained, which can add notably to your profits, and Retail Commissions are obtained when you sell a product.

Positives

One: The Qivana review shows that it is a recent home based business, which brings with it much enthusiasm, and the potentiality to be on the high point of a mammoth downline of new representatives.

Two: Nutrition is a swiftly burgeoning industry, and people who are compelled towards these kind of products will often be extremely enthusiastic concerning them.

Three: As with any network marketing home-based business, there is no limit to profit possibility.

Four: There is a comparatively low price to sign up with Qivana, compared to numerous other organizations out there.

Negatives

One: Brand-new businesses can go through struggles, such as product delays, late checks, lost shipments, and occasional policy changes.

Two: New companies regularly fail. Over 95% of network marketing organizations have gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Three: People who have challenges growing their team many times cast away more money for their autoship products than they ever secure in proceeds.

Four: The organization uses a traditional relationship sort of marketing procedure. Persons frequently wrestle with this method in the information age.

If you do get involved with Qivana, the one thing that I propose is that you be taught to set up your field with professional Internet-marketing methods, along side the word-of-mouth technique that Qivana teaches. There is a way to build your entire multi-level marketing home business much easier on the Web.
