The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the public service broadcaster of the United Kingdom, headquartered at Broadcasting House in London.
The BBC is the world's oldest national broadcasting organisation and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees, with over 20,950 staff in total, of whom 16,672 are in public sector broadcasting; including part-time, flexible as well as fixed contract staff, the total number is 35,402.
The BBC is established under a Royal Charter and operates under its Agreement with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. Its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations using any type of equipment to receive or record live television broadcasts. The fee is set by the British Government, agreed by Parliament, and used to fund the BBC's extensive radio, TV, and online services covering the nations and regions of the UK. From 1 April 2014, it also funds the BBC World Service, launched in 1932, which provides comprehensive TV, radio, and online services in Arabic, and Persian, and broadcasts in 28 languages.

Social entrepreneurship is as much about business model innovation as it is about creating transformational approaches to address major social and environmental challenges. Hence, the financing models required to catalyse and support the diversity of such ventures necessitates reevaluating traditional philanthropy as well as current mainstream investment. Engage with experts who have successfully pioneered new forms of flexible financing for both legal charities and new profit-generating entities.

The Forum Today (11/4/2016) - A single world, many identities? - BBC World Service Bestselling Turkish novelist Elif Shafak, Nick Bostrom from Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute and Ann Phoenix from UCL's Institute of Education trace the evolution of 21st century identity with the BBC’s Jo Fidgen. Are technology and geopolitics conspiring to create a new type of human, unrecognisable to our forebears? Is ‘serial migration’ the new norm for transnational families and what effect is this having on the identity of the young? Or perhaps we should drop the concept of Identity altogether?

Blink 182 - The Forum California Tour September 30 2016
A few problems occurred during the official forum migration, delaying the process until next week. What's interesting about it is that along are some of the new icons seen. Archaetect shared them on Reddit, and some have a quite "unique" style to them - once again sparking our curiosity. Could they mean more than just a style change to the forums? Could they be a preview of something new we'll see in the near future?
I will answer peoples questions from the spartanlifecoach forum.

Pseudolus is the laziest slave in Rome and has but one wish, to purchase his freedom. When his master and mistress leave for the day he finds out that the young master has fallen in love with a virgin in the house of Lycus, a slave dealer specializing in beautiful women. Pseudolus concocts a deal in which he will be freed if he can procure the girl for young Hero. Of course, it can't be that simple as everything begins to go wrong.

Faceless criticism
Fearless stupidity
Open mouth to say it loud
Nothing worth to be proud
The stage is set for another bloodbath
When you say something say you didn't say nothing
The industry, the mistery, democracy our misery
Can't you tell, can't you see? tecnology shows no mercy!
You think you're free, you know you're not free
You think you´re high, you know you´re not high
