Notations On Our World (Special Quarter-End Edition): Out & About.....

Our World was witness yet again to change this week as we were witness to an iconic American Brand of Journalism, Time Magazine, being bought by the Co-Founder of SalesForce.Com.   We also were witness to Comcast (The parent of NBCUniversal), buy out Sky of theUK.    Our team has featured the SkyNews live broadcast in our Live Broadcast POD in our Visions and Education Property and we hope that Comcast will continue its' commitment to maintain Sky's independence.

The Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, is due to arrive in New York for the upcoming UN General Assembly Session that is slated to start this week.   An Iranian Human Rights Organization organized a Street Campaign to remind all of the Human Rights Record of the current Government in Tehran as a number of leading defenders of Human Rights including Nasrin Soutodeh (currently on hunger strike as we went to press with this final edition of Notations), Mr. Shoulesadri (a former Presidential Candidate, Member of Parliament and Attorney) and other continue to be detained:
