A soloist and chamber musician, founder of two ensembles dedicated to the performance of Spanish and European Renaissance and Baroque music – La Romanesca and Orphénica Lyra – José Miguel Moreno is recognized worldwide as an original instrument and early music specialist. He plays the vihuela, a flat-backed stringed instrument contemporaneous with the lute, as well as Renaissance and Baroque guitars, lute, theorbo, and Romantic guitar.
His performances display not only extraordinary mastery of his instruments, but also reflect his deep knowledge of period performance and extensive research into the construction of early plucked string instruments. He has appeared in festivals and recitals around the world, collaborating with such artists as mezzo-soprano Teresa Berganza and gambist Jordi Savall.

Marina Beach è la naturale spiaggia urbana di Chennai (l'ex-Madras), la capitale del Tamil Nadu, stato federato dell'India posto di fronte al Golfo del Bengala (facente a sua volta parte dell'Oceano indiano).

Principalmente sabbiosa, si estende su una lunghezza di circa 13 km; la larghezza media della spiaggia è 300 metri, mentre nel suo tratto più ampio è di 437 m.

Ampiamente frequentata sia da turisti indiani che stranieri, è stata la principale sede di partenza per i soccorsi dopo lo tsunami del 2004, oltre che essere sede di varie festività e celebrazioni nazionali in cui si richiede l'immersione in acqua di mare della statua divina (in special modo Ganesha).

If you struggle with meditation, there's a good chance that this advice will help you. I'm not much of a gambler but I'd put money on it. It's something that every meditator experiences and, for many of them, it's their last experience.
Meditation is like anything else: some days are easier than others. Sure, some of you are naturals. And, yes, if your practice, it does become easier. But no matter how much experience you have, there are days where your thoughts loop and you can't let go.
It's tough. I know how bad it is – thanks to my obsessive personality, I'm probably poorly suited for meditation. It's something I've had to tame, channel and overcome.
Partly because my obsession with writing is why you're reading these words in the first place.
And also because I know how to settle your thoughts, even when they won't cooperate.
It's a simple enough process. It's not easy, but it sure is simple.
Now, this is a challenge at the best of times. Noticing that your thoughts are racing is a judgement. To settle your mind, I recommend practicing the art of noticing without judging.
It's passive but don't let that fool you. It's harder and more nuanced than doing anything.
View your thoughts. Breathe through them. Know that whatever they are doing is good, right and proper. Accept them for what they are.
And if your attitude of acceptance isn't perfect, then accept that too. This is the challenge – to avoid judging your thoughts, then avoid judging your judgement.
Another strategy is to bring your awareness to the present moment. This might make it easier to accept your thoughts, or accepting your thoughts might make this easier.
Your thoughts never race about the present moment. You either fixate on a memory or a projection into the future. Imagination and recall are both seductive, and meditation is the art of letting go.
You breathe in the present moment, so focus on that. You experience your body in the present too. Bring your awareness to anything that grounds you in now.
The final strategy is to give it time. Your thoughts probably won't settle immediately. Practice non-judgement and present awareness, and your thoughts will calm a little. This is progress worth acknowledging. Keep it up and you'll finally let go.
As I said, these skills aren't easy. You could spend years truly mastering them. Fortunately, any improvement in these yields results. As long as you keep working on yourself, you'll grow stronger.
There are self-hypnosis techniques that use this stream of consciousness. If you can't switch it off – or don't want to – maybe try learning how to use it.
My eBook covers everything you need to know, from a range of inductions to what masters of the art enjoy to do. Whatever your experience with your inner mind, there's something you can learn now.

"In the early 1900s, around 5 percent of fatalities were civilians," Archbishop Auza said, "while in the 1990s, over 90 percent of the fatalities were non-combatants."
Civilian fatalities in wartime has climbed from 5 per cent at the turn of the century, to 15 per cent during World War I, to 65 per cent by the end of World War II, to more than 90 per cent in the wars of the 1990s.
His comments came during an open debate with the U.N. security council on the "Protection of civilians in armed conflict." He said that the number of civilians killed during wartime is staggering.
These numbers only continue to get worse, Archbishop Auza said. Some of the citations can be traced back to the statistics from the June 2015 Report of the U.N. Secretary General on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict. That report found "that the deliberate targeting of and indiscriminate attacks on civilians are still increasing."
He gave a quick run down on some actions the international community should take note of in putting a stop to this "continuing tragedy."
First, he said, the "barbarity" of civilian targeting "must be denounced by all without exception and in the strongest possible terms."
The international community must next use all possible resources, including "the legitimate use of force" to put an end to these practices and bring those responsible to justice.
Lastly, those populations who have been torn apart by war crimes need "all the help we can and must provide."
Both targeted and indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians result in "clear violations of international humanitarian law."
"The consequences are there for the whole world to see: huge civilian casualties including many children; massive population displacements; the refugee and migration crisis," Archbishop Auza continued.
"The use of civilians as weapons of war represents the worst of human behavior," the international community should show itself at its best by conquering evil with good, by beating our swords into ploughshares and our spears into pruning hooks, by combating indifference with solidarity, and by rising above narrow national and geopolitical interests to spare all of us from the scourge of wars," he added.
He concluded by saying that Pope Francis specifically thanked Lebanon, Jordan, Italy, Greece, and Turkey "for all their efforts and commitments to save lives and ease suffering."
"These countries need the help of the entire international community to face the challenges posed by massive movements of refugees and migrants," he said.

There are seven signs that are thought to show whether or not an organisation is ready to implement an employee wellbeing programme.
They can act as an invaluable checklist for defining the current state of readiness for health and wellbeing within your business. Most businesses are able to tick some of these boxes with ease, but there are at least a couple that require further discussion and decision making. If you hold overall responsibility for the wellbeing of your organisation, these seven areas will help develop firm foundations for your long-term approach.
When considering designing, refining or implementing business-wide approaches, take these following steps into account.
Views of 'organisation wellbeing' vary across job levels, so it's important to establish what it actually means to your business and your staff. Once you have identified something which is accessible, universal and, above all, will resonate all aspects of working life, this will act as the basis of any wellbeing measurement you later undertake.
First of all, you must agree on why your business should 'invest' in occupational health and wellbeing. What purposes will it serve within your business, and how it will benefit you and your employees? Ensure you have a balance of outcomes that benefit the welfare of your business as well as your employees.
Acknowledge what you aim to achieve by introducing a well-being programme. What are you hoping to achieve overall by introducing this? are you hoping to reduce employee absence There are lots of different views to this, all of which are valid, but it's important to acknowledge the position before plans are made and budgets built.
It's important to assign owners for specific aspects of your wellbeing strategy. Don't set out to do it all on your own. Identify the support needed from senior leaders, how line managers can support the roll-out and what skills/resources each need in order do so. What is the role of your internal communications and engagement team? How can you use your network of HR business partners to maximise the impact and effectiveness of the implementation? These are just some of the questions you can use to map the ownership structure across the business.
In recent years, responsibilities for health and wellbeing have shifted: while employers still have a duty to provide a healthy environment, employees also have a critical role to play, taking responsibility for their health and having a greater say. With the rise of health movements like Robertson Cooper's Good Day at Work and the Movember Foundation, wellbeing approaches are shifting from a management driven approach to one that's led by employees and even technology.
With the right solution in place, you can provide staff with support and guidance, improve their quality of life and increase productivity. A meaningful conversation about wellbeing across the whole organisation will help employees to talk about this subject without fear.
It's important that your definition of wellbeing is consistent. Identifying the things that block and enable "a good day at work" can help you to reach a conclusive definition.
Ultimately, the change comes from key people at the top level of the business. Their role isn't just about "permission", it's about buy-in, involvement and role modelling. It's important that they understand and accept their role, encouraging them to create a culture that values and drives wellbeing. This may take some influencing or coaching to understand the personal impact that they have on the mental and physical wellbeing of those around them.
Using these seven signs as a checklist, you can highlight the aspects that the business is already focussing on and the areas that need further discussion. Then you're ready to really hone in on the details of what a health and wellbeing programme would entail.

Facebook keeps your love liaisons, calls and more!
Kazi Mahmood
Home NewsFeatured News
After the revelations about the Cambridge Analytica data leak which exposed the personal information on fifty million Facebook users, time to ask what information does Facebook keep on us?
Everyone who has a Facebook account will be surprised at the amount of information, which is much greater than expected, that Facebook has on them.
First of all, every single account holder can download their own profile information.
Just go to settings, then click on "Download a copy of your Facebook data".
To browse them fully, it's better to have time in front of you: there are hundreds of files, says Le Monde.
What is the content kept by Facebook?
In the big file downloaded, there is first of all the daily contents posted by the account holder: photos, statutes, first to last.
There are also all your exchanges with pages, or with your friends.
This includes messages (private ones like those on your profile), documents, audio files, videos, emojis, gifs, stickers or pokes sent.
Nothing that you do on Facebook is ever erased and they invested massively in servers that will keep all the information you posted, and the interactions you had on the platform.
Perhaps this information will remain available after you delete your account!
And there is also a list of events to which the account holders were invited, the history of advertisements that were clicked, the list of all the places and devices from which we have connected.
And it goes on. The list of more or less shameful groups integrated, liked pages, deleted friends. They are all recorded.
"If you've filled them in, Facebook also keeps the names of your siblings, and your ex-boyfriends and girlfriends," says the French newspaper.
Of particular worry are calls made even from your mobile phone.
Dylan McKay, a developer from New Zealand, has noticed that the history of his calls with his mother-in-law (passed from his mobile phone, not from Facebook) was included in his data.
He also retrieved information about SMS messages that he sent or received, such as the date and time of sending, and the recipient's phone number.
Finally, all the numbers of the people he had spoken to one day or the other in the contacts of his mobile also appeared.
Several Internet users have made the same observation. Would you considering all this "a little scary"?
The list of numbers in your contacts is related to whether or not you have synchronized your contacts.
Le Monde says according to their tests, this is possible for both Android and iPhone.
Call logs and SMS, on the other hand, appear only for people who own an Android phone, and use either Messenger or Facebook Lite, a smaller and lighter version of the application, useful for devices with a low power or in case of limited Internet connection.
However, it is possible to go back to delete the contacts already imported.
But it is done through a very difficult page to find called "Importing and managing your contacts".
To disable synchronization, go to Messenger settings and then "People" or "Contacts".
The story is adapted from an article that appeared on Le Monde

This week is brought to you by the letter C, thinking a lot about people and data.
After speaking about it a while ago, I finally had a coffee with the excellent Steve Messer from the Government Digital Service, our building-mates. We shared our experiences working in similar spaces - providing services to other development teams - and started to conspire about having a Whitechapel building tech event for cross-organisation collaboration.
Given we both work in the Whitechapel building, the branding opportunity is just too good to pass up!
I've recently been spending some of my "in between meetings" time with Esther, our testing coach, thinking about observations we can make about the nature of work we're doing by inspecting the commit messages in our codebases.
Almost all of our teams have adopted some form of the Conventional Commit spec, also known as Angular commits, Karma commits, or Semantic commits - having a machine-parseable format meant we could quickly script up (using Python and Dulwich) a CSV export of the last 4 months on our ad-exchange, and used Google Data Studio to make some COOL CHARTS.
We drew a number of different conclusions from this about the way we work, the frequency of our commits, and the nature of the work we're doing (for example, what's the breakdown of "proactive" vs "reactive" development), and we'll be pulling this thread a bit more to see what we can learn.
As with all code metrics, these won't become targets, but are an "elephant's tail" that can be combined with other observations to promote discussions about the way we work.
In particular, it now gives us a vocabulary to think about how we class the work we're doing.
Sarah from my team ran the first of a five-part workshop series on Conflict Transformation - it's great to see people talk about their passions, but it made me take the conflict I experience both at and outside work in a different frame.
Personal relationships - how you actually relate to the person you're conflicting with. The issue might be about dirty dishes, but it's wrapped in the relationship dynamic between you and your housemate.
Environment - the environment in which the conflict takes place. The issue might be about who takes notes in a meeting, but it's wrapped in both the relationship with your manager and the context of the organisational structure.
Society - the underlying social implications. The issue might be about who takes notes in meetings, but it's wrapped up in the 'isms' that underpin a lot of interactions - some parts of the software development industry have a well-documented trend of sexism, for example.
If a conflict provokes a strong emotional reaction, it could be about more than just the issue itself.
I'm excited for the future sessions in this workshop!
This was a bit of a head-scratcher for me - Unruly emphasises collaboration highly, and we decentralise a lot of our responsibility within teams. Our Team Leads are a lot like "Team Captains", still playing the game but have wider concerns extending from the well-being of their teammates to strategic thinking.
As a result of this, there are few times that a Team Lead will have to "exert their authority" and indeed we want to avoid those situations where possible. They feel like a symptom that something, somewhere is missing, whether it's context or a wider picture.
In these situations, it can feel very jarring for a collaborative team to suddenly be told "what to do", for example in a crisis situation where someone has to take control and make calls.
The question I'm wrangling with is - are there ways that we can insulate our organisation and process against this sudden culture-shock, in the same way that some companies chaos-test their code and infrastructure?
I'm interested to hear if anyone has ideas about this.
A pair from one of the core development teams had a task to ensure their workstations were provisioned correctly, and after chatting with us they started an ad-hoc mob across both teams to propose ideas and spike solutions.
I loved this, because it moves from a model of "we we schedule time together" to "let's form a group to solve a problem and then dissolve", like ephemeral sub-teams dedicated to exactly one issue.
It feels a lot closer to a model that Woody Zuill described as analogous to "jamming" together at a music festival - we listen for situations where our input or expertise is needed, and then go there for as long as we need.

We first tried padron peppers over twenty years ago in a small restaurant on a keyside in Mallorca. I still remember my mothers excitement the first time she saw the peppers for sale in the UK nearly fifteen years later which goes to show just how much this very simple dish had stuck in our memories.
Many might question what can be so exciting about a bowl of fried peppers?
Firstly it is the peppers themselves. Often called the Russian roulette peppers, most are relatively mild but the odd one will be fiery hot and there is no way to tell until you pop it in your mouth. They have an intensity of flavour with a bitter kick that have been bred out of most water pumped hothouse varieties and their thin skin makes them perfect for quickly stir frying. The addition of good quality olive oil and salt takes them to a different level of taste sensation.
It took a while for padron to be available in the UK but you can now buy them from Waitrose and Sainsbury's. They are also extreme easy to grow yourself , both indoors and out and are one of the easiest peppers to grow in the UK.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok until sizzling hot. Add the peppers and salt and stir fry, turning frequently for 3-5 minutes until the skin begins to blister and the peppers soften. Serve immediately.
These remind me of the skinnier chile peppers that have become trendy in the US, called Shisito peppers. They're so good grilled. Hopefully I can locate some of your peppers!
Yes they are similar. Padron has the edge taste wise and is slightly more mild but the shishito fruit quite late when the Padron have run out of steam a bit so I grow both.


This week's science topic (from Classical Science courtesy the Lab of Mr. Q) is the Three Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. IBAP's and MBAP's activity for the week was to recycle newspaper; this involved soaking bits of newspaper, blending it into a pulp with a mixture of cornflour and water, then straining and spreading the mass onto a sieve.
After leaving it to dry for two days, we were able to peel off our home recycled paper from the sieve.
