...cheesy slogan: "all you have to do is dance to save the world." But Club4Climate's silly-sounding premise--that partygoers can groove their way to a greener planet--is based on real science. The environmental group, founded by British real estate mogul Andrew Charalambous, is set to open what is being touted as the world's first eco-club on July 10 in London. And as the dancers get pumped up, Club Surya will get powered up. Literally.

The money provided the basis for the Fundação Oriente's present riches, and helped elevate it to the ranks of Europe's 20 largest foundations. Ho has said he hopes the new museum will further...
...Rajabpour's observation on Iranian tastes would certainly help explain the popularity in Iran of Chris de Burgh, the Irish balladeer best remembered for his early '80s saccharine pop hit "Lady in Red". The pop mogul has been hosting De Burgh in Iran this past week, and a concert tour planned for the fall would make the British singer the first Western pop star to perform in Iran since 1979. De Burgh will share the stage with Iranian pop giants Arian, on whose forthcoming album he has collaborated - in one song, De Burgh even sings "I love you," in Persian...
