Edinburgh council reject plans for old Royal High school hotel
The 1825 building is one of the UK’s most-treasured neo-classical buildings. Plans were submmited to demolish part of the site and erect a five-star hotel Councillors in Edinburgh have narrowly rejected plans for a major luxury hotel on the site of the old Royal High school, one of the UK’s most treasured neo-classical buildings. Councillors voted by nine to six against the plans to erect two large stepped wings to flank the Greek revival building on Calton Hill – once mooted as a home for the Scottish parliament, and to demolish parts of the site to create a new five star hotel.

15 paradoxes that will make your head explode
The Death of Socrates by Jacques-Louis David (1787) "I know one thing," Socrates famously said. "That I know nothing." It's a crucial insight from one of the founders of Western philosophy: You should question everything you think you know. Indeed, the closer you look, the more you'll start to recognize paradoxes all around you. Read on to see our favorite Catch-22s from Wikipedia's epic list of more than 200 types of paradoxes. TO GO ANYWHERE, YOU MUST GO HALFWAY FIRST, AND THEN YOU MUST GO HALF OF THE REMAINING DISTANCE, AND HALF OF THE REMAINING DISTANCE, AND SO FORTH TO INFINITY: THUS, MOTION IS IMPOSSIBLE. Miguel/flickr The dichotomy paradox has been attributed to ancient Greek philosopher Zeno, and it was supposedly created as a proof that the universe is singular and that change, including motion, is impossible (as posited by Zeno's teacher, Parmenides). People have intuitively rejected this paradox for years. From a mathematical perspective, the solution — formalized in the 19th century — is to accept that one-half plus one-quarter plus one-eighth plus one-sixteenth and so on ... adds up to one. This is similar to saying that 0.999... equals 1. But this theoretical solution doesn't actually answer how an object can reach its destination. The solution to that question is more complex and still murky, relying on 20th-century theories about matter, time, and space not being infinitely divisible. IN ANY INSTANT, A MOVING OBJECT IS INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM A NONMOVING OBJECT: THUS MOTION IS IMPOSSIBLE. AP This is called the arrow paradox, and it's another of Zeno's arguments against motion. The issue here is that in a single instant of time, zero seconds pass, and so zero motion happens. Zeno argued that if time were made up of instants, the fact that motion doesn't happen in any particular instant would mean motion doesn't happen. As with the dichotomy paradox, the arrow paradox actually hints at modern understandings of quantum mechanics. In his book "Reflections on Relativity," Kevin Brown notes that in the context of special relativity, an object in motion is different from an object at rest. Relativity requires that objects moving at different speeds will appear different to outside observers and will themselves have different perceptions of the world around them. IF YOU RESTORED A SHIP BY REPLACING EACH OF ITS WOODEN PARTS, WOULD IT REMAIN THE SAME SHIP? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greek_Galleys.jpg Another classic from ancient Greece, the Ship of Theseus paradox gets at the contradictions of identity. It was famously described by Plutarch: The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had thirty oars, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their places, in so much that this ship became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same.

Carson Block said a company's 'financial statements are literally meaningless' ― and the stock tanked
REUTERS/Benjamin Myers Shares of French retailer Groupe Casino plunged after short-seller Carson Block, founder of Muddy Waters Research, issued a report calling the company "one of the most overvalued and misunderstood" he has ever seen. Groupe Casino fell 11.5% on Thursday to 43.34 euros, while shares of parent company Rallye fell 19% to end the day at 13.55 euros. "The basic problem with Casino is that its financial statements are literally meaningless to understanding the company's (poor) health. They do not distinguish between what Casino owns and what it owes. (Spoiler: we estimate Casino's LTM leverage ratio at 8.9x.)," the Muddy Waters report said. Muddy Waters then went on to compare the company's largest shareholder, Jean-Charles Naouri, to the "geniuses" who founded defunct hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management: Jean-Charles Naouri is a genius. He won first prizes in France's high school Latin and Greek exams, completed his baccalaureate degree at 15, and earned a PhD in math in only one year. Like the geniuses who founded the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management, which spectacularly collapsed, Mr. Naouri has an affinity for leverage. Muddy Waters' report says that Casino is "dangerously leveraged." He believes that shares of Rallye are likely going to zero. In a statement, Rallye said that the Muddy Waters' report "contains grossly erroneous allegations that the Group will not fail to answer in detail." "In light of this dissemination of misleading information, Rallye has filed a claim with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers and reserves the possibility to exercise its rights before national courts, including criminal courts," the company said. Here is the Rallye share price: REUTERS/Benjamin Myers NOW WATCH: How ISIS makes over $1 billion a year

2015: A Report Card on How We Did, and What's Next
Embed from Getty Images When looking back in fifty years, how will 2015 be remembered? Did the year help to progress mankind, or did it push us back even further? This is best answered by examining some of most the significant events of the year: Q1: CHARLIE HEBDO OFFICES ATTACKED IN PARIS, fueling pressure on the French government to heighten security measures and strengthen the rhetoric against global terrorism. SAUDI ARABIA'S KING ABDULLAH DIES, abdicating his throne over The Kingdom to his brother, Salman bin Abdulaziz. Abdullah was known for his efforts in improving women's rights, fighting global terrorism, and bolstering ties with the West. UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN RELATIONS ARE STRAINED, as both countries finally agree to a ceasefire on frail terms, after months of militant warfare and regional tension. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses Congress, pleading to the audience to mitigate the Obama administration's efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran. Netanyahu's covert visit was controversial, as he circumvented the White House through a direct invitation from top Republican officials. Q2: GREECE MISSES A DEBT PAYMENT OF MORE THAN €1 BILLION, causing the country to shut down its banking infrastructure. Later in August, the German government, alongside the rest of the European community, agrees to a bailout package for the struggling economy. THE AMERICAN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPS TO 5.4%, showing strong signs of domestic and global economic recovery. This continued trend of stability eventually leads to the Federal Reserve's announcement in December that it will start increasing interest rates after almost a decade. Q3: CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES COME TO A LANDMARK AGREEMENT TO OPEN EMBASSIES, re-establishing full diplomatic relations after nearly 50 years of dissension. Leaders are already looking forward to expanding ties and new economic opportunities. IRAN AGREES TO A HISTORIC NUCLEAR DEAL, limiting their nuclear program and allowing increased oversight by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). This would come in exchange for removal of sanctions and the opening of the country's economy to world markets. THE SYRIAN CIVIL WAR ESCALATES, triggering the exodus of millions of people, and sparking the global debate over countries opening their borders to asylum seeking refugees. PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI OF INDIA ANNOUNCES THE MAKE IN INDIA INITIATIVE. Since taking office, Modi has made several promises ranging from bettering women's rights to increased economic fortitude. Shortly after the launch of the initiative, the government boasted its recent promotion as the leading recipient of foreign investments. Q4: CHINA NIXES ITS LONG-STANDING ONE-CHILD POLICY, attempting to compensate for a quickly aging population. Critics are concerned with the availability of resources, as the exponentially growing Chinese population copes with the country's rash economic fluctuations. Attacks in Paris leave nearly 130 people dead, as the city faces its second large-scale terrorist attack within a year. The Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility, triggering an aggressive bombing campaign by the French government. Nations gather for a monumental conference on climate change (COP21), seeking to reach an agreement to decrease carbon emissions across the global community, amidst the growing evidence supporting global warming and deteriorating ecological patterns. How did we do? While 2015 did entail significant positive progress on many fronts (see: heightened diplomatic efforts, reduced nuclear arsenals, strengthened economic ties), the sheer amount of destruction and human suffering promulgated by terrorist attacks, civil wars, and political unrest, resulted in an overall net-negative for the world. If measuring the maturity of human kind, this year could not have scored above a B+ on anyone's report card. What's next? The year's events have left open a variety of action items. One of the most prevalent issues worth addressing will be the deteriorating stability of the Middle East. Amidst the Syrian crisis as well as the growing ideology posed by ISIS, increasing threats of violence and terrorism will continue to surface in the coming years. While initial instinct may beckon the global community to send ground forces or even counteract with increased militarism in order to quell short-term danger, this may not be the most viable long term solution. The conflict itself is riddled with a variety of different layers, dating back to issues with traditional Bedouin culture, to modern day Sunni- Shia conflicts. Therefore, any counter efforts must include deep and rigorous studies of the sectarian and faction based politics which are the true sources of the conflict. Only through such an in-depth approach, alongside economic restrictions barring products sourced from these groups, will a sustainable campaign be made to stabilize the region. Another issue that must climb to the top of the global agenda in the years to come is climate change. With increasing evidence of changing meteorological patterns, and natural catastrophes accounting for a bulk of global disasters, climate change can no longer be just an elective issue for governments to ignore. Rather, it is a matter of national security, as countries will have to innovate ways to protect their citizens from natural phenomena. Governments will have to take more aggressive measures to curtail their carbon footprint. While sessions such as COP21 are important strides, there needs to be increased emphasis on alternative energy research and stringent demerit/ incentive policies for corporations. While these two issues will likely be of extreme significance in the years to come, they are but two of the many. It will be interesting to see what the next few years entail, especially given that economies are growing, ideologies are evolving, and countries are reshaping their own footprints in the world. One can hope, that along with these changing shifts, global diplomacy remains a cornerstone of issues to arise, and will be the go-to solution for years to come. Indeed, perhaps there are better report cards to come. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

Fed interest rate hike: Wall Street dip curtails celebrations
Dow slips back but markets rally in Asia and Europe, the dollar strengthens, and commodities fall, after US rate rise * Christmas comes early to the City * But commodity prices slide again * Photos: Asian markets bounce * Introduction: Fed rate rise doesn’t cause alarm (yet) * Fed ends its dithering * Full story: first US interest rate rise since 2006 5.53pm GMT OVER IN ATHENS THERE HAS BEEN SOME COMMOTION THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN GREECE AND ITS CREDITORS. Our correspondent Helena Smith reports: In a highly embarrassing move, the leftist-led government has had to withdraw its much-touted “parallel economic program” - outlining measures to ease the debt-stricken country’s humanitarian crisis – under threat of having its next aid disbursement withheld. The program had been central to prime minister Alexis Tsipras’ promise that while his government had been forced to swallow the bitter pill of austerity – the price of being bailed out to the tune of €86bn this summer - harsh reforms would be offset with assistance for the most needy. Almost immediately there was uproar. 4.58pm GMT With the Federal Reserve removing the uncertainty clouding markets by finally raising US interest rates, European markets responded favourably to the news. But an opening fall on Wall Street - which had surged in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday’s Fed move - took some of the shine off, and European shares ended off their best levels. The rise in the US dollar following the announcement of dearer borrowing costs hit commodity prices, with Brent crude down 0.5%, and left energy shares lower.

Andy Warhol's legendary former Hamptons compound just sold to a Manhattan gallery owner for a record $50 million
elliman.com Feast your eyes on "Eothen," which is Greek for "from the east." A slice of Hamptons paradise that once belonged to Andy Warhol just sold for $50 million — a record for Montauk, listing agents told the Wall Street Journal. The family behind Arm & Hammer baking soda built the estate as a mere fishing camp back in the '30s. Pop art godfather Andy Warhol then scooped up the compound in the '70s for a mere $220,000, hosting the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Rolling Stones, and John Lennon. The most recent owner was J. Crew Group CEO Micky Drexler, who purchased the property for $27.5 million in 2007. Originally part of a 21-acre estate with a separate 24-acre horse farm across the street, the property has now been divided up. The Warhol Estate donated 15 of the estate's acres to a nature conservancy, and the newest buyer, art gallery owner Adam Lindemann, elected not to purchase the horse farm, which is still currently on the market. Douglas Elliman's Ronald White and Paul Brennan had the listing. _Brittany Fowler contributed to an earlier version of this article._ J. CREW CEO MICKEY DREXLER BOUGHT THE 30-ACRE, OCEANFRONT PROPERTY FOR $27 MILLION IN 2007. elliman.com EIGHT YEARS LATER, THE COMPOUND — WHICH INCLUDES SIX COTTAGES RESTORED BY ARCHITECT THIERRY DESPONT — HAS SOLD FOR ALMOST DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT. elliman.com THE HOME FRONTS THE SERENE MONTAUK COAST, AND THE KITCHEN NOOK'S BAY WINDOWS MAKE FULL USE OF THAT. elliman.com SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER
