Calling all French ex-pats - Help!

Having finally summoned up the courage to follow our hearts my wife (54) and myself (68) have sold our UK home and are looking for somewhere to live in the Lot/Dordogne/Garonne area. Up to £180,000, about 1800 sq m of garden/land and min 4 beds, 2 wc, in a quiet but not remote location. Must be modern/modernised. All suggestions/contacts/advice joyfully welcomed.

I've lived in the north of France for more than 20 years - and still love the life in this area. Property prices are much lower, of course and people here are extremely tolerant, kind and flexible in their attitude towards one another and gladly welcome "foreigners" from other EU countries. It's also handy for frequent trips to Britain via the Channel tunnel - with car of course and no weather holdups.

With the greatest respect, first hire somewhere in an area you fancy and go and live there, ideally in the winter. I stress LIVE, not whizz bang holiday mode. This will give you an idea of what goes on, who's about and what sort of a life you will enjoy as residents. Think carefully about your situation in, say 20 years time. Would you really want a big plot to have to keep maintained? Maybe you're mega rich in so hiring probably expensive help won't be a problem! The Lot is our favourite. Every good luck with your new adventure. David Shute, ex Senior Talk Producer, Pebble mill. davidshute.co.UK

Remember....Today is not the Rehearsal
If the post is still valid (the original was in January) here are my thoughts.
France is a huge country and so it has a great variation of climate, tastes, style, prices, character.
We know of people who loved an area, and who actually bought a plot of land in preparatin to having a property built, only to find that, at certain times of the year, the humidity was too much for him. They had to sell their plot.. and bought further south... way way south.
People we know bought a huge plot of land in France, and then had difficulty maintaining it. Especially when they came to Spain for the winter, where the climate is much better! Upon their return they often had to contend with no electric as it had tripped out during one of the many storms to which their area was prone, and grass which took a lot of effort to bring back under control. Everything was green, because it rained a lot!
Do NOT assume that your chosen area will always have excellent air connections to the UK. That small French airfield with daily connections to Gatwick might not last very long.
Rent for 12 months, live, try, and then step back and observe.
Better to see prices increase than make a very costly error.
Also beware of TAX and health insurance. Check them out for UK pensioner's arrangements. Age allowance? Inheritance Tax?
I don't know all the facts.
What I do know is that we couldn't set up our business in France due to a high TAX regime, and our friends (UK Pensioners) could not afford to live in France. They were much better off in the UK (they said). They have sold up and are returning......
Check it out first. Perhaps keep a UK domicile?
Don't assume all services will be available everywhere. A promised "Land-Line" telephone might never materialise. If there is one already connected there, you might not be able to take the line over... if your chosen location is miles away from a village it might not be capable of the internet and so contact might not be 100%. No SKYPE, no UK papers, no BBC Radio on line...
Befriend the local maire.
Amigo (In Spain)
who gave a lot of thought to living (and working) in France. We went, we looked, we studied, and listened.... and decided...
elsewhere, with no regrets.
But that was US.
We know of others who are quite happy.
Rent for 12 months- see a year through..

Thanks to all who responded. We are now settled in Brittany (border of Morbihan/Cote D'Armor) with mains water, broadband, full oil CH, and a cider orchard to give me a new project and intend to be here for the rest of our days. For anyone who is thinking of making the move I am very happy to share our experiences, what costs we encountered etc. For the record, all our budgeting was done on a like-for-like basis, i.e. One Pound = one euro and on that basis we don't expect to be caught out by the kind of fluctuation that there was in the early days when a euro was worth 67 pence. All we have to do to reassure ourselves that we are in the right place is to visit Loudeac, three miles from here, driving down an empty motorway-standard dual carriageway, park free of charge, walk crime and vandalism-free streets filled with flowers, and buy fresh produce like apricots and peaches at less than 2 euros a kilogram. True some things are mysteriously expensive like toilet seats!!!, shower doors!!! fresh chicken!! but on the fish counter stuff is about half UK price. And we're buying very quaffable Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon in boxes at 8.42 euros for five litres, diesel at 1.09 a litre and "council tax" equivalent is less than a quarter of what it was in Dorset. C'est la vie, indeed.

My folks made the move 6 years ago (also Morbihan) and loved it. From what I recall BBC pensions are quite amenable to paying into a French bank account too (but I may be wrong so don't quote me).
The BBC Pension is, I believe, capable of being paid anywhere. The exchange rate isn't always the best you can get, but it works fine, and is regular.
The only point I was making is that we have been led to believe that many French taxation rules can make living in France expensive for pensioners.
We do not live in France!

A BBC pension can indeed be paid in France, and the rate is not bad. I settled here (in Paris, not the Dordogne/Luberon/Brittany) 15 years ago. Just be warned that if you become tax resident in France you lose control over your estate when you go to the great BH/TC in the sky. French law dictates that half your estate must go to your child(ren), You must decide what your financial relationship with your spouse (common or separate property). Means using the services of grossly overpaid notaires.
This is what I was refering to, stephenj. Every country has different rules. You can not presume that what you think will happen upon your demise, actually will!
Here in Spain, the children take priority over the spouse. This can lead to all sorts of problems!
The further you are away from the main trunk of the family tree, the greater the amount of inheritance tax you pay. This explains why there are often empty properties, as the 'distant relative' would have to pay so much inheritance tax, it wasn't worth it for them to claim their inheritance.
The best advice is get good independent advice wherever you are.
And finally, remember that if you write two wills, one in the UK and one in your chosen foreign country, make certain that they don't inter-act.
If you have written a (say) Spanish will, and then go to the UK and write a UK will which will (usually) start with the statement that it supersedes all previous testaments, immediately you cancel the Spanish will. Tell both lawyers that the other exists! Say in each will that there is another will in existence when you write them. It can save your family a lot of hassle, expence and worry. Exchange telephone numbers- it makes life so much easier if they know what's going on, and with whom they are dealing.
For what it's worth that's OUR experience, anyway.
Oh, and keep them up-to-date as well!

Good advice Amigo. We've lived in Spain for nearly ten years now, and we find that the better we speak the language, the more questions it throws up about the Spanish nationa/regional character, thought processes, attitudes etc. I think anyone moving to a foreign country, even one so close (geographically) to the UK should realise that there are massive differences, and not only in the language....
BTW, it seems that the Spanish inheritance laws don't apply to foreign nationals: check out Article 9 of the Codigo Civil.

We've lived in France for 9 yrs now, and pay all taxes in France.
Pensions are paid into UK bank accounts, and we are considered as French residents, so no UK tax is paid. Tax is therefore paid in France, at an agreed annual exchange rate based on the average euro/pound rate for the year, OR on the rate on the 31st December, the end of the French tax year. This offers the opportunity of timing your transfers to take advantage of the changing bank rates.
I recommend reading "Living and working in France" by David Hampshire. We found this invaluable to us as we trudged our way through the layers of France's infamous bureaucracy!
p.s. they rather like to speak French here!

A question for any BBC pensioners living outside of the UK.
I read (in previous comments) that "the BBC Pension can be paid anywhere". This seems entirely reasonable, but can I ask how you went about getting your BBC pensions paid gross?
And were BBC Pensions "helpful" in this respect - or did you have to provide reams of paperwork to HMRC to convince them to let BBC Pensions not deduct Income Tax from your payments?
I've recently moved to the Isle of Man and will need to declare my BBC pension to the authorities here - and then pay all taxes due "in advance"! - so I'm rather keen not to have to be paying Income Tax to HMG as well! As we moved part way into the UK's Tax year, getting my UK Tax payments returned for the part of the year we've been out of the UK will be a job and a half I'm sure, but that's a different story.
New wills - compliant with Manx law - have declarations that my wife and I are now "domiciled" in the Isle of Man, and we've had to move all bank accounts over here to properly comply. BTW, this 'domiciled status' appears rather more important than I'd ever realised!
My State pension is now paid by Manx Social Services rather than UK's. [My wife's State Pension seems to be taking considerably longer to move here!]. But once that's done, then we're (hopefully) beyond the grasp of HMRC when our "final moments" come, and our estates can then pass on completely in accordance with our wishes.

Tall, handsome and well built, Vince Vaughn is an actor who could have easily been typecast as an action hero had it not been for his consistent efforts to try out different roles. The versatile actor is as talented as he is good looking and has effortlessly played romantic leads, action hero and mentally deranged psychopaths with the same elan. Born into a well-to-do family he had a comfortable childhood—but could not find the excitement he longed for. He developed an early interest in theatre and that was what he longed to do. As a student he was not at all interested in studies and considered himself average. A chance to appear in a television commercial for Chevrolet motivated him to try his hands at acting. The confident youngster moved to Hollywood only to find himself struggling for work. Even though he made his film debut in 1993 he would not find mainstream success till years later. It was his role as Trent Walker in the comedy drama 'Swingers' that got him widespread fame. In spite of not being a commercial success the movie changed his fortune as Steven Spielberg decided to cast him in the mega movie 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' which set the momentum for his career.

Our hearts beat endlessly: all day every day, all night every night. We don't think about them until there's a problem, but we should. This is your heart we are talking about, after all! The one that you follow, the one that you wear on your sleeve, the one that breaks or the one that you give away. How often do you use those sayings, or these phrases: that's heartwarming, your heart is in the right place, heartfelt, wholeheartedly, crazy heart, my heart belongs to you.
Your heart is at the center of your emotional self and the center of your physical self, which is why heart trauma and cardiovascular surgery go right to the emotional center of our soul and the physical center of our body. Think about it: we don't feel the same way about our gallbladders as we do our hearts, and we don't regard gallbladder surgery with nearly the same weight as we regard cardiac surgery.

How data scientists are using AI for suicide prevention
in: AI,Big Problems,Human Behavior,People Making a Difference,Science & Technology News
The Crisis Text Line uses machine learning to figure out who's at risk and when to intervene.
When horrible news — like the deaths by suicide of chef, author, and TV star Anthony Bourdain and fashion designer Kate Spade, or the 2015 Paris attacks — breaks, crisis counseling services often get deluged with calls from people in despair. Deciding whom to help first can be a life-or-death decision.
At the Crisis Text Line, a text messaging-based crisis counseling hotline, these deluges have the potential to overwhelm the human staff.
So data scientists at Crisis Text Line are using machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence, to pull out the words and emojis that can signal a person at higher risk of suicide ideation or self-harm. The computer tells them who on hold needs to jump to the front of the line to be helped.
They can do this because Crisis Text Line does something radical for a crisis counseling service: It collects a massive amount of data on the 30 million texts it has exchanged with users. While Netflix and Amazon are collecting data on tastes and shopping habits, the Crisis Text Line is collecting data on despair.
The data, some of which is available here, has turned up all kinds of interesting insights on mental health. For instance, Wednesday is the most anxiety-provoking day of the week. Crises involving self-harm often happen in the darkest hours of the night.
CTL started in 2013 to serve people who may be uncomfortable talking about their problems aloud or who are just more likely to text than call. Anyone in the United States can text the number "741741" and be connected with a crisis counselor. "We have around 10 active rescues per day, where we actually send out emergency services to intervene in an active suicide attempt," Bob Filbin, the chief data scientist at CTL, told me last year.
Overall, the state of suicide prevention in this country is extremely frustrating. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that between 1999 and 2016, almost every state saw an increase in suicide. Twenty-five states saw increases of 30 percent or more. Yet even the best mental health clinicians have trouble understanding who is most at risk for self-harm.
If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:
In the US:
Crisis Text Line: Text START to 741741 from anywhere in the USA, at any time, about any type of crisis.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-825
The Trevor Project: 1-866-488-7386
Outside the US:
The International Association for Suicide Prevention lists a number of suicide hotlines by country. Click here to find them.
Befrienders Worldwide
"We do not yet possess a single test, or panel of tests that accurately identifies the emergence of a suicide crisis," a 2012 article in Psychotherapy explains. And that's still true.
Doctors understand the risks for suicide ideation better than they understand the risk for physical self-harm. Complicating matters, the CDC finds 54 percent of suicides involve persons with no known mental health issues.
But we can do better. And that's where data scientists like Filbin think they can help fill in the gaps, by searching through reams of data to determine who is at greatest risk and when to intervene. Even small insights help. For example, the crisis text line finds when a person mentions a household drug, like "Advil," it's more predictive of risk than if they used a word like "cut."
Sending help to people in crisis is just the start. The hotline hopes its data could one day actually help predict and prevent instances of self-harm from happening in the first place. In 2017, I talked to Filbin about what data science and artificial intelligence can learn about how to help people. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
The crisis text line is a 24/7 service to help people through their toughest times
Brian Resnick
Tell me about the service Crisis Text Line provides.
Bob Filbin
The idea is that a person in crisis can reach out to us — no matter the issue, no matter where they are — 24/7 via text and get connected to a volunteer crisis counselor who has been trained. The great thing about that is people have their phones everywhere: You can be in school, you can be at work, and whenever a crisis occurs, we want to be immediately accessible at the time of crisis.
[Suicide attempt] is the greatest type of risk that we're trying to prevent.
You're also collecting data on these interactions. Why is that necessary to run the service?
We have 33 million messages exchanged with texters in crisis. We have had over 5,300 active rescues [where they've dispatched emergency services to someone attempting suicide] and the entire message and conversations associated with those.
Our data gives the rich context around why a particular crisis event happened. We get both the cause and the effect, and we get how they actually talk about these issues. I think it's going to provide a lot more context on how can we actually spot these events and prevent them.
How can we spot these events before they occur? Seeing the actual language that people use is going to be critical to [answer] that.
From the very beginning, we believed in the idea that our data could help to improve the crisis space as a whole. By collecting this data and then sharing it with the public, with policymakers, with academic researchers … it could provide value to people in crisis whether or not they actually used our service.
How the Crisis Text Line deals with "spike events"
So, someone in crisis texts your service. I'm curious about the specific data you're collecting from that interaction.
There are three types of data we're collecting:
The conversation — the exchange between a texter and a crisis counselor, and then a lot of metadata around those conversations (timestamps; the people who were involved: the crisis counselor, the texter). If the texter comes back, we know, okay, this is a texter that has used our service before, or this crisis counselor has had other [interactions with the texter].
Second: After the conversation, we ask our crisis counselors [questions like], "What issues came up in the conversation?" and, "What was the level of risk?"
The third piece: a set of survey questions to the texter asking for feedback: Was this conversation helpful? What type of help did you experience? What did you find valuable? What would you hope would be different for other people in crisis? Or the same.
So how has this data helped you do your job better?
We've seen problems arise, and then we think about how to use data to solve these problems.
So one problem is spike events.
A spike is when we see a huge influx in texter demand — this happens to crisis centers all the time. When Robin Williams died by suicide, around the election, around the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015, or perhaps somebody who used the service and found it beneficial, and that goes viral — we'll have a big spike event. Our daily volume will more than double.
So how do you respond to that?
Traditionally, crisis centers respond to people in the order in which they come into the queue. But if you double your volume instantly, that's going to lead to long wait times.
We want to help the people who have the highest-severity cases first: We want to help somebody who's feeling imminently suicidal before somebody who's having trouble with their girlfriend or boyfriend or something.
We trained an algorithm. We asked, "What do texters say at the very beginning of a conversation that is indicative of an active rescue?
So we can triage and prioritize texters who say the most severe things.
How machine learning can help
When you say you're "asking" these questions, you mean you're using a computer? Machine learning or some type of AI?
We're asking a computer to figure it out.
[We ask it] basically, look at active rescue conversations and is there anything different about the initial messages that texters send in those.
So what type of words did the computer pick out that indicated imminent risk?
Before we used the computer, we had a list of 50 words that [we thought] were probably indicative of high risk. Words like "die," "cut," "suicide," "kill," etc.
When a data scientist ran the analysis, he found thousands of words and phrases indicative of an active rescue that are actually more predictive.
Words like "Ibuprofen" and "Advil" and other associated words [i.e., common household drugs] were 14 times as indicative of suicide as a predictor.
Even the crying face emoticon — that's 11 times as predictive as the word "suicide" that somebody's going to need an active rescue.
This allows us to do a task that we never otherwise would have been able to do. We just don't have staff to triage. And most [other crisis] centers don't either. So then people who are high-risk get stuck waiting for two hours.
That's the whole idea and the power, really, of AI — it gets smarter over time. We started at a baseline of "here's what crisis centers do already. How can we use data to improve on that?" We're never rolling out a product that decreases performance. And that's something we always monitor.
What about privacy?
How do you keep all this information private?
Privacy of our texters is our No. 1 concern. One really concrete way we do that is we have this keyword that texters can text at any time — it's "loofah" — which allows you to scrub your data at any time. (It's kind of a pun. Or a lame joke.) We want to make sure our texters are in charge of the data. And we do have an algorithm we built to scrub personally identifiable information. It removes names, locations, phone numbers, emails, birth dates, or other numbers like that.
This is all after the data is encrypted. So there are many layers of security and privacy that we go through to protect the data.
A lot of therapists and people who work in the therapy space have a long-held aversion to data, relying instead on their experience and intuition. (The Atlantic recently had an interesting feature on this.) What do you say to people who may be skeptical of using data in crisis counseling?
So the underlining philosophy that I'm always coming back to for data science is, "Can we provide the most possible value back to our users?" And the way you do that is by learning from every interaction.
That's true about the smartest people in the world, right? You reflect on an experience, you learn from it, and you then you behave differently next time. I think data is a way to do that at scale. We're saying, no human can understand the scope and reflect on the performance and service as a whole, so we need data to allow us to reflect and improve.
We're helping people who are in imminent crisis, maybe imminently suicidal. And so we want to make sure we put any recommendations from our computer systems through the lens of a person, that a person is evaluating whether or not it's the correct decision.
What do you mean by "put any recommendations from our computer systems through the lens of a person"?
One of the first major insights from our data was that we had about 3 percent of our texters using 34 percent of our crisis counselors' time — draining a huge percentage of our crisis counselors' resources.
They were treating us, in some sense, as a replacement [for] therapy, not as a crisis service.
That was a problem that was exposed in the data, but the solution wasn't intuitive. It was actually kind of a philosophical decision as an organization to say, we're here for people in crisis, we aren't replacement therapy, that's a very different-looking service.
Our goal is going to be to identify these [frequent] texters who may need [long-term] therapy.
The data really exposed that difficult question and forced us as an organization to make a philosophical stand that we're here for people in crisis. And so it does lead to, really, data and that revelation leads to difficult decisions, and that does happen.
Are you scared of using data alone to make that decision to nudge people off the service? What if one of those circlers truly is in a crisis?
The first step is we put this through our supervisors. We flag a texter who appears to be circling. Then the supervisor makes the call. We always have the human making the decision.
We don't block anybody, because that person could legitimately have a huge crisis. We never block people from entering the system. But we do limit or throttle access.
Putting it through that human lens always is very important because we don't want to miss anything. And it's so critical that we're there for all these people.

Weinstein's lawyers: New evidence undermines rape charge
Harvey Weinstein, American film producer and film studio executive. He is best known as co-founder of Miramax., Photo Date: 5/23/17 / Photo: ZUMA Press / (MGN)
By TOM HAYS, Associated Press |
Posted: Fri 1:30 PM, Dec 07, 2018 |
Updated: Fri 2:54 PM, Dec 07, 2018
NEW YORK (AP) — A woman who claims Harvey Weinstein raped her in 2013 attended one of his screenings the same day of the alleged assault, Weinstein's lawyers said Friday in a letter to a New York City judge overseeing his criminal case.
The letter says a friend of the alleged victim received an invitation to the screening and responded to an assistant for Weinstein in an email that the two would attend. When the email came to its attention, the defense team interviewed the friend, who confirmed that they went to the event and met up with Weinstein there, the letter says.
The account calls into question "why would an alleged rape victim go out of her way to spend time with her 'rapist' merely hours after she was allegedly attacked," the letter said.
The letter also claims that the witness had already disclosed the information to New York City Police Department investigators but it was never disclosed to the defense - legal grounds for dismissing the charges.
The Manhattan district attorney's office responded on Friday with its own letter accusing the defense of trying to distort the core facts of the case.
"That the defendant has a misguided and antiquated view of how a rape victim should react after having been assaulted does not change this reality," it read.
The filings follows one last month in which Weinstein's lawyers said the same friend told defense investigators that Weinstein and the rape accuser had been "hooking up" consensually for a long time and that she never heard the accuser say anything bad about him until last year. The friend has not been identified in the court papers.
Prosecutors dropped part of the case in October after evidence surfaced that a detective coached a witness.
Three of the five remaining charges stem from the allegations at the heart of the recent defense filings, that Weinstein raped a woman in a hotel room in March 2013. The two other charges allege that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on another woman in 2006 at his Manhattan apartment.

Remember Annie, the Greek immigrant who set up the recent march against sharia in Bristol? Just days after her march, she was violently attacked by Antifa.
I spoke to Annie about her experience. She told me about how she was kicked and dragged, her friend's camera was stolen, and antifa locked the doors so that the police couldn't get in. Which wasn't surprising, given they were running an anti-police workshop!
I thought it was amazing how antifa, who claim to stand up for the rights and safety of immigrants, were so quick to violently attack an immigrant who loves Britain.

Just because you're different...
Last night we went to see a movie called Beatriz at Dinner. It showed a lot of promise: Salma Hayek looking unusually plain, John Lithgow in a more serious role (unusual for him) as an unscrupulous billionaire developer... We were even told Hayek's performance might just be Oscar-worthy. What could possibly go wrong?
But in reality, despite Lithgow and Hayek, the movie was pretty awful. All the characters were stereotypical, none of them were likeable, none of them grew in their roles or appeared to learn anything from their interactions with one another, and there were WAY too many 70's-style interjections of fraught unintelligible mystical moments: rather like the callow and pretentious posturing of a third-year film studies major.
Not only did the movie reinforce all our prejudices about wealth and poverty and the victims of each, but it was also clear the writers had no idea how to end the film, any more than they had any idea how to help either characters or audience learn from the depicted events.
And yet -- there was this sense, just fleeting, that it could have been great; that the premise for the movie -- a humble Mexican massage therapist invited to dine with a ridiculously wealthy group of developers -- could have made a difference, could have offered a chance to cross that great divide. Which is, I suspect, why this image leaped out at me this morning; that sense that a situation becomes more interesting when you add a little variety, shake things up a bit. And so this poem, because I'm always optimistic that things COULD change, even when they don't.
Just because you are outnumbered,
just because you're different, or you don't fit in,
doesn't mean you don't belong.
Where you are is exactly where you're meant to be,
and what you add could surely be
exactly what is needed in this moment.

It is five six seven eight nine TEN years later.
This is still one of the toughest days to get through.
May you find peace in your lifetime Mr Bond.
I want to cry again, as I've been doing on and off all day. Murdered is the right word, Vinny. It isn't said in that way too often, but it is true.
So glad you made it out OK.
I can't imagine what it was like to be in the city that day. It had to be terrible.
Reading it again year after year is like reading anew. I think of you often but in a different way each year this day approaches. Crossing off the "five, six, seven, eight, nine" portion near the end of your article...it doesn't get easier does it? Love to you and Nancy...and prayers that you feel her near while she's away.
Wow! I have no concept of what it must have been like to be ....there!
Unlike you, I have no direct ties to what happened in NYC or Washington. I knew someone who was supposed to be in the WTC that day, but miraculously, his meeting was rescheduled for later in the day, and he was a mile or so down the street when the planes hit.
I was here, at home, sleeping, thousands of miles from the scenes of these horrific events, and yet.......no one has been unaffected by what happened. My children have lived most of their lives in a post-9/11 world, hearing of threat levels and enduring multiple security screenings at airports and public buildings.
My children are affected, and they don't even realize it. And THAT is what makes me sad. Sad that their lives were affected by something that happened before they could comprehend the atrocity.
I talk about that day with them. Often. I answer what questions I can. And I tell them that Muslims were not to blame. My grandmother was a Muslim, and she was the most gentle, peace-filled woman, despite the horrors of her life during wartime. Terrorists know no religion, no spirituality, no ethical code. Terrorists know only how to inflict fear in the hearts of those they target. Muslims are not to be feared.
Hatred is to be feared.

I think graffiti is a good way for express feelings, although I think tags are not impressive, because it's just a name, a picture on a wall has a big impact, it's more beautiful. It's a great way to show your opinion, if you do it well, but tags I don't really see the point on it.
Yeap, graffiti is an art of community so it shows real situauions, problems of people's life. It's worth progress!
One of my favourite graffiti lines is: "Save water shower together :D".
ya..its great...I think every thing which belongs to heart nd passion that belongs to "ART"..
I knew new kinds of art!
I live in Taiwan.I love to go to the graffiti zones to see those pictures.I think the pictures are so beautiful.
Of coure graffiti is art! For ones who apreciate it, it makes the world better! WAY BETTER!
I like very much of graffitti, because gives colour to cities and I also like the contrats between the street art and the buildings, houses and trees.
I am not a fan of griffiti!!!
I do Graffiti with my mates too!
I don´t like Bansky, I like Buster,Bates,Dare,MadC,Seen and Cope2.


This dish is very nourishing and filling. If you can't be bothered to make up the sauce, simply use ready made teriyaki available at most supermarkets. Since I prefer my broccoli a bit more cooked, I fry it for a bit longer, but if you prefer yours to have a bit more crunch just reduce the cooking time to one or two minutes.
Cashew noodles. Love the recipe.
Ben: If you look at the date the recipe was published ages ago when I still tried to file every recipe under a different nationality. It was a mistake, so now I removed it from the Japanese section. "Asian" doesn't fit into to current categories. It's a tricky business.
I'm sorry to have to say this but that dish is most definately NOT Japanese in the slightest. In fact the only japanese ingredient in it is Mirin. It is more like a noodle dish from a bad English/Chinese take-away.
Why did you call this a Japanese dish, i'd like to know please?
Ben, can you have some better manners? Why don't you have better manners? Why are you being an arse?
Ruth – It's my pleasure. I love participating!
Dayna – Thanks! I do try to make things look as appetising as possible. What's more, it's the real deal!
Passionate Baker – Thanks! Eating dishes like this really doesn't make me want to eat meat all the time.
Lovely picture…and great recipe too. I love veggie versions. Makes me feel very greedy just looking at the picture!!! Clap clap!!
thank you, dear michelle. lovely recipe and entry. just for the record, carnivorous dishes are welcome.
Your photo really caught my eye in Ruth's roundup. Your dish looks fantastic!
What a great dish. Thanks so much for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.

The thing is, without fixing your issues, you aren't going to get any dates. That's just how it's going to be, and if nothing else, you can consider this a way to improve yourself, too.
Even if you think it's a great picture, you might actually be deterring a lot of ladies from ever even talking to you. If it's blank or generic or unflattering, make sure to update it.
You always need to have a profile picture, no matter what. If you don't have a good one, ask a friend of yours to take a new one, or at least get a good selfie up there.
You need to always make sure that you're smiling and confident in your profile pictures, too. If you don't do that, you're really going to end up turning a lot of ladies off.
Think about what you're saying to her.
This isn't just a matter of messages, but that counts, too. Your profile is the first step to making sure that you're getting the kind of image across to her that you'd like.
If it's too sexual, tone it down. If it's just kind of mopey and complain-y, then you need to make sure to revise it to have a much more positive tone, or she won't waste her time.
In general, you really do want your profile to come off as fun and confident. Without this, you're just never going to end up getting the kind of attention that you want.
If you find your messages turning into whining fests about your past relationships, then you need to really step back and reevaluate why you are using these sites.
If you want to become successful at dating online, you need to really tune that kind of stuff down, or just eliminate it entirely. Without doing so, these ladies will never give you the right amount of attention.
Women don't want to hear about your past, failed relationships. They want to be with men that are interested in what they are interested in, and they want to have fun.
Literally, the most common reason that most men are rejected online is the fact that they aren't positive and outgoing enough, and that's really going to turn ladies off.
Always keep a smiling face on. She doesn't need to know about your past heartbreak until much later on when you've gotten to know one another and are talking about it.
Good luck, and do make sure to keep these tips in mind. Otherwise, you might still get that cold shoulder.

Mahira Khan to join Bollywood starlets at the Cannes Film Festival 2018?
Komal Zaheer
07:24 PM | 2 May, 2018
The 71st Annual Cannes Film Festival will soon feature the most sought after Bollywood actresses, like it does every year. Whether it is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone or Sonam Kapoor, the Bollywood divas always know how to make an entrance at the esteemed event.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BcpsQX5F5rc/?taken-by=mahirahkhan
Kangana Ranaut is set to make her own Cannes debut as an added ambassador for L'Oreal Paris from the 8th till the 19th of May. However, Kangana may not be the only actress to make her grand debut this year.
According to a report by Something Haute, sources reveal that Pakistan's very own Mahira Khan might just be out there representing her country as an ambassador for L'Oreal Paris as well!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BVPNO6mlYQJ/?taken-by=mahirahkhan
Mahira, who was selected as L'Oreal Paris's first Pakistani brand ambassador last year in October was appointed during the PFDC L'Oreal Bridal Week in Lahore.
If this bit of news is accurate, Mahira Khan will help her country make strides in the international community as has Asim Abbasi's acclaimed film 'Cake' when it became the first Pakistani film to be aired at the Leicester Square in London.

The so-called "live cat" market has come to life, albeit perhaps tentatively, as hurricane Matthew's approach towards the U.S. has increased the certainty of what looks set to be a relatively major impact (at this time) with a number of ILW's trading and as much as $100m of limit placed, Artemis understands.
Sources in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) and reinsurance broking community explained to Artemis that interest in livecat trading actually first emerged almost a week ago, when one large industry loss warranty (ILW) was transacted, as a protection buyer saw the potential for hurricane Matthew to pose a significant threat to the U.S.
Update 08:00 BST / 03:00 ET, Oct 6th 2016: Hurricane Matthew is battering the central Bahamas, with sustained winds of 115mph, higher gusts, torrential rain and a storm surge estimated at anything up to 15 feet. Matthew is then forecast to intensify again and head for Florida, where the outlook is worsening for the state.
Update 15:20 BST / 10:20 ET, Oct 5th 2016: Hurricane Matthew has the potential to be a significant loss event for the insurance and reinsurance industry. It could also cause issues to some catastrophe bonds, eroding aggregate retention and increasing their attachment probabilities, according to Ben Brookes of RMS.
That protection buyer may have been prescient, as no doubt prices for that ILW protection will have risen in recent days as the forecast path for hurricane Matthew has become increasingly targeted on a close pass or even direct hit on Florida and the certainty in the forecast has increased.
Live cat (or live catastrophe) trading occurs when an active catastrophe event, typically a hurricane or typhoon, is developing and insurance, reinsurance and ILS players can trade and structure transactions based on the potential for an impactful loss to occur.
Live cat trades are typically a way for a company with significant exposure in a region to buy extra protection, just in case the worst happens. That is likely the scenario that occurred last week with that single, supposedly large ILW trade, a player with a major stake in Florida just shoring up its coverage.
Interest in live cat trading increased again yesterday, we're told, as hurricane Matthew's forecast track shifted repeatedly westward with every update from the forecast models, until it now shows a very close brush with Florida as a still major Category 3 or stronger storm.
With the forecast for hurricane Matthew now showing this close encounter with Florida, followed by a slow passage up the Florida coast, before a curve slowly out into the Atlantic around Georgia and South Carolina, the potential for severe damage along that Florida coastline looks high.
We understand that another ILW was sold yesterday (Tuesday) as another protection buyer sought to lock in coverage at a price that has likely risen further today.
One broker representative told Artemis yesterday that the livecat market was particularly active over hurricane Matthew and that more than $100m in limit had been traded on the storm.
That is a significant amount, showing the serious manner in which the reinsurance and ILS market is taking the threat from hurricane Matthew.
Still this morning we understand that liquidity has not yet picked up in the secondary catastrophe bond market to any significant degree. There remains interest in selling, according to ILS market brokers, but few people are keen to buy at this time as prices will need to drop before that happens.
The current forecast suggests that while hurricane Matthew could be damaging for the Florida coastline, it is unlikely to cause the kind of industry loss that would trigger multiple catastrophe bonds at this time. Hence buyers remain scarce at pricing levels that are only slightly marked down still.
Any strengthening as the storm passes through the Bahamas and any further turn to the west could change that and at that point in time price expectations from sellers might drop further and more cat bond trading could occur.
We understand from sources that interest has also been shown in parametric triggers for live cat trading, something that makes a lot of sense, as a hedge can then be placed based on the potential for Matthew to cause wind speeds above a certain level on the Florida coastline.
For large, Floridian primary insurers, or reinsurance and ILS firms, with significant coastal Florida exposure, a live cat parametric wind hedge (likely in a catastrophe swap form) could be a very good solution to add an additional layer of protection as hurricane Matthew approaches.
It is at times like this, when a major hurricane approaches, that the value of an electronic platform for trading hurricane futures or options, either parametric or industry loss based, is apparent once again. There is still no way to easily and quickly purchase a transparent hedge against a hurricane like Matthew striking Florida and in 2016 that just seems wrong. Perhaps some enterprising insurance technology (Insurtech) start-up will solve that once and for all.
With some ILW's already transacted, as much as $100m in limit placed on hurricane Matthew, interest increasing (according to our sources) and the forecast remaining bad for Florida, it seems likely that live cat trading may pick up again today.

Prince makes big impact at Big Bang Fair
More photos will be uploaded to our Flickr album
Students and staff welcomed His Royal Highness Prince Charles to the University of Essex when he arrived to visit the Big Bang Fair being hosted at the Colchester Campus in partnership with Engineering UK.
His Royal Highness stopped to speak to the crowds as he walked to the event with the Vice-Chancellor Professor Anthony Forster and Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant, Lord Petre, after arriving by helicopter.
Outside the Ivor Crewe Lecture Hall, His Royal Highness was presented to a number of dignitaries including:
High Sheriff of Essex Nicholas Charrington
Chairman of Essex County Council Cllr Norman Hume
Mayor of Colchester Borough Council Cllr John Elliott
Chief Executive of Colchester Borough Council Adrian Pritchard
MP for Harwich and North Essex the Hon Bernard Jenkin MP
Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh
Executive Dean, Science and Health Professor Graham Underwood
CEO Engineering UK Paul Jackson
His Royal Highness then joined 1,000 young people exploring science and technology at the Big Bang Fair.
The fair, organised in partnership with Engineering UK, is showcasing the exciting opportunities offered by science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM subjects) to Year 9 and 10 students from 39 schools in Essex and Suffolk.
Professor Underwood said: "I am very proud that Prince Charles came and showed his support for the Big Bang Fair and STEM subjects at the University. His visit raised the profile of the whole event and it was great to see him mixing with our staff and with the visiting students, business and education guests. Prince Charles was able to talk to members of the University community, visiting school pupils, and staff and students from the University when he toured the Market Place demonstrations. This went extremely well, with genuine interest and excitement all around the event."
His Royal Highness actively supports manufacturing and engineering job opportunities. During the visit he toured demonstrations and activities organised by national and regional employers designed to open the students' eyes to the possibilities and opportunities offered by science.
He then participated in a special workshop aimed at bringing businesses and head teachers together to help promote engineering careers to school pupils.
The Prince of Wales Engineering Workshop, run by The Prince's Trust, is an initiative created by His Royal Highness to raise the profile of engineering in schools, and launched earlier this year in conjunction with Engineering UK, The Royal Academy of Engineering, The Prince's Trust, Teach First and Business in the Community.
The Workshop gave head teachers the chance to hear from regional and national businesses about the skills they need, and to discuss ways of advancing engineering in schools.
Professor Underwood said: "His Royal Highness made an excellent speech about the need to enthuse and capture the interest of young people in engineering and science, and for educators and business to work together. Talking to delegates afterwards, it was clear how important Prince Charles' role has been in ensuring such initiatives are carried out."
Big Bang is the UK's largest celebration of STEM subjects for young people in the UK. Professor Underwood said: "The whole day was extremely impressive, with superb stands, talks and demonstrations and flawless organisation. Credit has to be given to the our professional service and academic colleagues who worked so hard to organise the events today. There was a great buzz around our Colchester Campus, and I am sure all our visitors left with a great impression of the University as a vibrant community."

Consumers are more loyal to their preferred airline or hotel chain than their doctors, he adds. Only 26 percent of the 1,980 adults surveyed said they would definitely leave a network if their doctor's participation ended.
Ninety-four percent said access to their medical records extremely important. They also valued things such as the ability to talk to their physician during and after business hours and tools such as online scheduling.
As health care plans respond to consumer preferences, new services are being brought to market. Group Health (now Kaiser Permanente) has recently introduced a number of services to give its members and patients the combination of control and quality that they want.
At our 25 medical centers, the entire clinic team—from primary care doctor to specialist, lab tech to pharmacist—has an up-to-the-minute record of your employee's patient history via our integrated system of electronic medical records. This makes care safer, more efficient, and eliminates duplicative tests. Patients also have online access to care and clinical records. They can schedule appointments, e-mail their doctor, review lab and test results, read visit summaries, and check records of children under age 12.
The Core Plan's additional 9,000 providers, who contract directly with us, are evaluated on a five-point scale of proficiency, far beyond the contractual arrangement most carriers have with providers. We work closely with these providers, sharing clinical guidelines and best practices, as well as helping them implement electronic medical records, practice evidence-based medicine, and improve outcomes and quality scores.
