"At Microsoft we have a long-term vision that we refer to as 100/100/0 – that on all the world's grids, 100 percent of electrons, 100 percent of the time, are generated from zero carbon sources."
Microsoft understands that the increasing demand for its cloud services is leading to increasing demand for data centres, which require huge amounts of power to operate. They face an important challenge as a result, to scale their computing power whilst aligning with our common environmental objectives. According to BloombergNEF, Microsoft is currently the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy in 2021. But they are not stopping here.
Microsoft has recently expanded on their pledge to have 100% renewable energy supply by 2025. They have committed to have 100% of its electricity consumption, 100% of the time, matched by zero carbon energy purchases by 2030 - also known as the 100/100/0 goal. To do, Microsoft need to know:
How to understand the initial hourly synchronicity? (% of hours during which Microsoft's data center source zero carbon electricity)
How to certify the hourly match and avoid double counting of energy?
How to integrate the granular certificates into the official Energy Certificates and calculate hourly CO2 for reporting?
FlexiDAO's software solution will match one of Microsoft's Amsterdam datacenter's hourly energy consumption with Eneco's Dutch offshore wind.
FlexiDAO's software calculated the 24/7 synchronicity score of its PPA by matching energy production data and energy consumption data
Granular hourly energy certificates were issued and registered on the blockchain to avoid double counting
Obtained all the energy certificates (Gos) needed to submit the yearly Scope 2 reporting
Calculated the location-based and market-based CO2 emissions hour-by-hour in line with the GHG Protocol
Thanks to Eneco and FlexiDAO's integrated 24/7 solution, Microsoft will be able to:
Monitor and calculate the 24/7 synchronicity score of its CPPA supported by the claim of Granular Certificates (GCs) and guarantees of origin (GOs)
Obtain all the GOs needed to submit the yearly Scope 2 reporting
Calculate the location-based and market-based CO2 emissions hour-by-hour in line with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidelines
The learnings and outcomes of this project are constantly enabling more market participants to include 24/7 monitoring into their procurement strategies and Scope 2 reporting, incentivising adoption of 24/7 renewable energy matching at scale and fostering the decarbonization of local grids.
This pilot is matching one of Microsoft's Amsterdam datacenter's hourly energy consumption with Dutch offshore wind. Microsoft is a flagship customer of the integrated 24/7 solution, which is enabling Eneco's customers including Microsoft to have access to FlexiDAO's 24/7 renewable energy matching tools at scale.
Microsoft engaged with energy supplier Eneco and software provider FlexiDAO in order to pilot a procurement arrangement that can truly eliminate emissions from the electricity it buys for its data centres. In this pilot, Eneco is providing Microsoft with green energy not only on an annual basis, but for every hour of the day.
24/7 green energy is essential to push the energy transition since it's about moving from offsetting GHG emissions, to fully eliminating them from the grid. This pilot project was launched to demonstrate that 24/7 carbon-free energy is possible in compliance with official energy certification schemes and to enable more buyers to have access to 24/7 solutions.
In the context of the pilot, carbon-free power is produced by one of Eneco's offshore wind farms located off the Dutch coast. The generation is consumed by Microsoft Netherlands, and is now being matched hourly at one of its data centers.
Following the guidelines defined by the EnergyTag initiative, FlexiDAO is enabling the issuance, transfer and claim of Granular Certificates (GCs i.e. hourly time-stamped energy attribute certificates) in order to monitor and certify the 24/7 synchronicity score of the Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) while complying with the Dutch underlying certificate scheme – European GOs – as implemented in Dutch law. CertiQ (Dutch GOs issuing body) acts as the supervising party ensuring the compliance of the claims with the Dutch GOs scheme.
In line with the recommendations provided by this guide, the metering data used for the certification will be third-party certified settlement data, provided to FlexiDAO by a Dutch regulated metering company after receiving the permission from Eneco and Microsoft.
Moving towards zero carbon energy for data centers.
Microsoft will be a flagship customer of FlexiDAO's 24/7 solution, which will enable Eneco customers including Microsoft to have access to FlexiDAO's 24/7 renewable energy-matching tools at scale.

thank you marcel for the link
when I translate ( don´t know the french language ) I wonder a little: the "carte grise" is in the name of the son how sold the car. so he has been then the owner. as I know the carte grise is a document like in germany the former "fahrzeugbrief" ( now it says zulassungsbescheinigung teil 2 ) or in switzerland the "fahrzeugausweis" ?
sad to read what happens after some died and left a lot of values without caring about what would happen when he will be dead

The other brother and sister claim their father used to put their names on "carte grises" without really thinking about it, so for them, the GTO was part of their heritage, and their brother Patrick shouldn't have sold it for his own personal benefit.
Very sad story indeed. Many families have been torn apart for much less than 38 million Euros. This should remind those of us who have enough money to create issues once they're gone how important it is to make it clear who gets what.

"Carte grise" or "Grey card" is official documentation and registry for a car with his owner.
All fines, taxes will be paid by the owner indicated in this document.

Even well written wills get contested sometimes. That happened when my grandfather died, and one of my aunts contested it. Everything turned out fine, and justice was served, but the lawyers made a lot of ill-obtained money.

Hope the writer have seen cars in the garage...as he said: not so far away here, a wonderful collection is parked in the property.
In other way, prepares your helmet, riot guns etc....
Generally: Carte grise is the French title. However, AFAIK it does not automatically mean that the person listed in the carte grise is legally also the owner. It can be just the "holder".
In Switzerland we have a very similar legal situation with the "Fahrzeugausweis" (they grey form). The name listed may not legally be the owner. In Switzerland, if a car is owned by a bank or leasing company, there's an additional code (remark) in the grey form (Swiss title). This to avoid a sale without telling the truth about the real legal owner.
I do not know if such a code may also exist in France.
In the Bardinon case the situation looks to be different. For the (now ex Bardinon) Series II 250 GTO #5573 GT it seems that the old carte grise was issued decades ago in the name of the son, who apparently "was given" (gifted?) the car by father Pierre Bardinon, after the son's massive accident at an early age.
Much later, this may then have led this son to believe that he is the rightful individual and private and sole owner and therefore entitled to privately sell the car without asking brothers and sisters.
Once both Pierre Bardinon (17 August 2012) and widow Yanne Bardinon (11 December 2013) passed away the French Government asked for massive inheritance taxes and at least two of the three kids seem to have claimed "having no money for payment of such taxes".
And all this while the third kid got a huge amount for the sale of the S2 GTO (11 April 2014).
Looks like a fight between the three kids, and who really has to pay the inheritance taxes and how much. Needless to say, it's too bad they cannot sort out their disagreements.
The only people that make money here are the lawyers. I guess this is gonna take several years more in court.
Disclaimer: This is just my personal interpretation and may not be absolutely accurate or correct.
During the 2005 Sarkozy makes a law concerning Donation. 0€ taxes for gouvernement. You must to pay only the notary for registering this information.
As for the notary,
In the event of death, the properties that are under the name of the deceased must be registered in your name. In this case, and C is ligitime, the new owner will have to pay a percentage on the value of the property to the government.
Mr Bardinon did correctly the things, now children must to think about it.

I also don´t know how it works in france. in germany the former fahrzeugbrief, now zulassungsbescheinigung part 2 is the document for the car. this one who has this document has the legal right to this car, but not have to be the owner.
so the name in the grey card is the owner and the tax to be payed to the french government is counted only form this what pierre bardinon has at his own just before he passed away. and this GTO has been registered to his son long time before. so it is really sad that except of the lawyers none will have profit.

In the late 80s and early 90s, many were worried that the big cars would go into non-profits rarely to be seen and never to be driven or sold again. The bubble burst and all sorts of cars went all sorts of directions.
BMWairhead said: ↑
Well I'm glad that didn't happen and I would hope the 503(c) I suggested is used what it was intended for. My two favorite museums are 503(c) organizations. The Simeone Museum and I caught them on a demo day thankfully since they actually drive their cars in front of others. The other is the Barber Motorsports Museum. Very nice Lotus and Ferraris in there plus 1,000+ motorcycles. Pretty much all the motorcycles run and they have put them out on their private race track for events.
Hopefully someday there is someone wealthy enough to build a museum and a racetrack like the Barber museum, but fill it with historic cars and do the same thing. I doubt I will ever be in a position like that, but that's definitely what I would do and require the cars get run publicly.

Few comments from legal side:
1.in France like some other countries, like UK, registration documents in your name is not a proof of ownership. But still a strong assumption. Best if you want to be on safe side and for any reason you need to register in a different name, is to have a notarized document confirming ownership and registration.
2. Nothing prevents people from making donations to one or several but not all their children during their life. Tax issue on this is specific. But still donation made during your life have to be re incorporated into your overall total assets when the deceased assets are liquidated. So unlike some other jurisdiction ( like US) you cannot give something to one child and nothing to others, ( whether they have accidents, or you prefer the color of their eyes etc) or everything to charity. You have to give in similar proportion to each children, incidentally legitimate or illegitimate ones! ( of course situation is more complicated when you have assets in several countries and residency/ citizenship in others see Halliday family issue). Valuation can be an issue because of timing of donation and pricing then, but the principle is clear.
3.i think it would be very difficult in France to donate your collection to a foundation and deprive your children of any inheritance. What you can do though is to give a part to a museum and donate other things to the children like cash, properties and other assets. By doing so and striking a deal with IRS you can cover your tax liability. This is how the Picasso family ( the legitimate and illegitimate children - no moral judgement here, talking of those born in or out of wedlock for legal reasons) solved their inheritance tax. Part went to a newly created museum and covered inheritance taxes and the rest was kept by the family.
4. So in this case it is pretty simple, they have to re integrate everything into the estate and then split everything between them and then cover all the inheritance tax and split between them what is left. Of course we can figure out that in this case there are 2 different issues intertwined, the dispute between family members and the looming dispute with the tax office on real value of the deceased estate. But litigating in spite of the illness of the judge is a waste of time, it will end up as mentioned because those are the rules. Of course the issue is enforcement because one of the child sold the car and kept the money so the others and tax office have to collect! So this is a nice delaying tactic!
Final disclaimer : I know personally one of the children, but never discussed the topic, so this is my personal view!!
I don't expect to get a single cent from either of my parents when they pass and I'd expect the same of my kids and grandkids. Hopefully they don't disagree with that logic and try to earn what they have. My parents did help me a little for undergraduate education (not much as scholarship covered basically everything), but they made it clear early in my life they wouldn't after that.

This article explains the connection between cell phone recycling and Gorillas the hidden connection.
Like many people, I never thought there is a connection between cell phone recycling and endangered African gorillas. When I started doing research on the dangerous chemicals found in cell phones , I came across this little known connection between the widespread use of cell phones today and survival of African Eastern Lowland Gorillas.
When you consider the sheer number of cell phones being dumped to our landfills every year, the threat of toxic chemicals these cell phones contain: antimony, arsenic, copper, cadmium, lead, and zinc is quite real and alarming. There are 140 million estimated cell phone users in the US today. Due to rapid changes in cell phone technology, it is estimated that the average cell phone user changes their cell phone model very 14 months. Last year, more than 100 million cell phones were discarded, but less than 10% of these were recycled.
We shall explore the danger of toxic substances present in cell phones in another post. Today, let's examine the impact of cell phone production and cell phone recycling on the continued survival of a species of gorillas in Africa, which brings us to the subject of Coltan.
What is Coltan? Coltan is the African term for the metallic ore columbite-tantalite used to produce niobium and Tantalum. The metal that allows your cell phone to run efficiently – Tantalum – is the very same metal that's fueling the civil war in the Congo and decimating gorilla populations in the area.
Tantalum is prized for its resistance to corrosion and extreme heat, and is used to produce capacitors and other parts of cell phones, DVD players, laptops, and video game consoles. The burgeoning cell phone and electronics industries by necessity require huge supplies of Tantalum and the ore from which it is derived – Coltan.
Coltan is found and mined in several countries, including Australia, Canada, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Egypt. However, the largest supply is coming from the Congo or the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Africa, which is believed to possess 80% of the world's Coltan reserves. In particular, Coltan is mined extensively in the eastern part of Congo where the Kahuzi Biega National Park, home to the Eastern Lowland Gorilla, is located.
Coltan is fueling the war in the Congo. The huge demand for Coltan and its derivative metal Tantalum coming from the cell phone and electronics industries, has jacked up its price in the world market (reaching $600 per kilogram at one time) and has made its mining and extraction quite profitable for the different armed groups (rebels, bandits, Rwandan invading troops, etc.) in the area. Profits from the mining operations by these groups are then used to buy more weapons and ammunitions, thus prolonging the conflict that has already claimed 3.2 million lives since 1998.
The Coltan bonanza has also attracted thousands of impoverished migrants into the area. As the mining concerns widen and more people arrive, thousands of acres of tropical forest, the natural habitat of the Eastern Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri) are destroyed. The destruction of their natural habitat and the hunt for "bush meat" to feed the hungry miners and armed groups has brought the Eastern Lowland Gorillas to the very brink of extinction reducing their population by about 90%.. Before the civil war broke out in 1998, there were over 17,000 silverback Gorillas in the Congo. Today, their number is estimated to be below 3,000.
While many American cell phone manufacturers since 2001 have taken the position of purchasing Tantalum produced by non-African Coltan suppliers, like Australia and Canada, or from African suppliers who certify that their ores aren't mined from conflict areas, illegal Coltan mining continues to this day. The ores are smuggled through the bordering countries to Europe and the sheer volume of contraband Coltan in the market makes the likelihood of some blood-tainted Tantalum part of the handset I or you are using today.
How can we help? The obvious answer is cell phone recycling. It may not be that simple to end the conflict in Africa, but following the basic law of supply and demand, cell phone recycling would effectively lessen the demand for Coltan by the manufacturers. If done in a concerted and high rate (certainly higher than 9 plus percent rate today), it will make Coltan mining and the collateral forest destruction in the Congo less profitable for the armed groups and migrants.
"Most people don't know that there's a connection between this metal in their cell phones and the well-being of wildlife in the area where it's mined," said Karen Killmar, the associate curator of mammals at the San Diego Zoo, as reported in The National Geographic.
"Recycling old cell phones is a way for people to do something very simple that could reduce the need for additional coltan…and help protect the gorillas," Killmar added.

Cell Phone Recycling in America, Why Not? Reason why some people are reluctant to recycle their old or used cell phones.
Cell Phone Recycling – The Poison in Our Cell Phones . Discusses the toxic heavy metals and chemicals found in cell phones.
Powerful content! Well done! It's unfortunate that we have to destroy everything and drive other species to extinction to fuel our insatiable consumerism. Time for a reboot for a world gone mad.
Well done. Sad to see the connections that we never think about. It is IMPOSSIBLE to do ANYTHING without having an effect on something else. Thanks for doing the homework on this one.
Recycle that cell phone, folks, please.

Happy Birthday, Karisma Kapoor: Still No 1 @45
Karisma Kapoor was born on June 25, 1974 to actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita. She is the granddaughter of renowned actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor and the great-granddaughter of actor Prithviraj Kapoor. Her younger sister Kareena Kapoor is also a very successful actress in Bollywood. Her relatives include actors Ranbir Kapoor and Armaan Jain, brother-in-law Saif Ali Khan, uncles Rishi and Rajiv Kapoor and aunt Neetu Singh.
Nicknamed Lolo, Karisma studied at the Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai. She also went to Sophia College for a while.
Karisma reportedly dated actor Ajay Devgn while they were shooting for the movie Jigar. She was also briefly engaged to Abhishek Bachchan, before breaking up in February 2003.
At the peak of her career, Karisma married Delhi-based industrialist Sunjay Kapur on September 29, 2003. However, the couple divorced in 2014.
Karisma and Sunjay have two children together. Daughter Samaira was born on March 11, 2005 and son Kiaan Raj Kapoor on March 12, 2010.
Karisma made her debut in the 1991 movie Prem Qaidi, with southern star Harish. The movie did average business at the box office.
She acted in a couple of flops the same year like Police Office, Jaagruti, Nishchaiy and Sapne Saajan Ke.
Her only hit in 1992 was Jigar, opposite Ajay Devgn.
Karisma's first release in 1993, Anari, was a huge success. She acted opposite another southern superstar Venkatesh in the movie.
Her next few releases like Sangram (1993) and Dhanwaan (1993) were flops.
Karisma then formed a hit partnership with Govinda, appearing in movies like Raja Babu (1994) directed by David Dhawan.
Karisma appeared in a song, originally made as Sexy Sexy Sexy Mujhe Log Bolein, in the movie Khuddar (1994). The song became a huge hit but also ran into controversy. The lyrics were later changed to Baby, Baby, Baby Mujhe Log Bolein.
In 1994, Karisma acted in Rajkumar Santoshi's comedy Andaz Apna Apna, which also starred Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Raveena Tandon. The movie was a huge flop when it released, but later became a cult classic. It is now considered one of the best comedies ever made in the history of Indian cinema.
In 1994, Karisma delivered average movies like Suhaag and Gopi Kishan
In 1995, Govinda, Karisma and David Dhawan reunited for the hit Coolie No 1.
She acted with Sunny Deol and Salman Khan in the love triangle Jeet in 1996.
The same year Karisma played the female lead in Dharmesh Darshan's Raja Hindustani, opposite Aamir Khan. This movie was the turning point in Karisma's career. She went through a complete image makeover in the movie and her fans loved it.
Raja Hindustani was the highest-grossing film of 1996 and fetched Karisma her first Filmfare Best Actress Award.
In 1997, Karisma was directed by Yash Chopra in Dil To Paagal Hai, in which she co-starred with Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit. She won the Filmfare and the National Film Awards for Best Supporting Actress.
In 1999, Karisma appeared in another David Dhawan hit, Biwi No 1, this time with Salman Khan.
Yet another David Dhawan movie, Haseena Maan Jayegi, also released the same year and was a huge hit.
Karisma also collaborated for the first time with the Rajshri Productions banner in ensemble film Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999), which was a hit.
Her movies in the year 2000 were Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge and Chal Mere Bhai, which also did well at the box office making her the most successful actress of that time.
In 2000, she won her second Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance in Khalid Mohammed's Fiza.
The very next year Karisma acted in Zubeidaa, directed by Shyam Benegal, and won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance.
Her performance in Shakti - The Power (2002) was highly praised and earned her nominations in the Best Actress category at award shows.
Karisma made a much-awaited comeback to the silver screen after a gap of nine years, with Dangerous Ishhq in 2012. The movie tanked at the box office but the actress said that she did the movie only for her two children Samaira and Kiaan Raj. The actress said she is open to doing more films but is waiting for the right script. In 2013, Karisma also made an appearance in Bombay Talkies as herself.
In 2018, she starred in a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan's Zero.

This commoncraft video on social media, by using the analogy of ice cream production, does a great job of demonstrating an outcome of Web 2.0 that I increasingly see as inevitable (and positive): a significantly more entrepreneurial world where business, interest, and passion can intersect on idea and projects in the "long tail."
Because many traditional barriers to product or service creation and marketing have been obliterated by the web, and the cost of failure has largely been reduced as well, specialty and niche businesses are likely to explode. I believe that a cornucopia of businesses (and social movements) will provide opportunities for amazingly varied work and careers, and that traditional businesses will also have to gravitate toward a more "engaged" relationship with their customers.
The impact on education seems clear. Students who learn to be self-motivated, highly-engaged, and proactive will thrive in the new world. The same "long tail" effect, when applied to educational opportunities, means that students will be able not only to study from a much broader range of topics than we've traditionally offered in "brick and mortar" schooling, but they will likely be able to actually participate in original work and research in a field of their choosing well before even applying to college.
Steve, great post. I agree 100% that students will have more opportunities to learn than "brick and mortar" education can currently provide. However, I think there's a battle waging currently between those who think that students are capable of learning online (or in other non-traditional ways) and those of us that do believe (and know!) that they can.
We need to provide more opportunities yesterday, but as community colleges and universities alike are canceling courses it seems that there's some work to be done. Thanks!


Both identify unmet medical needs, provide direct medical care when possible, and facilitate referrals to appropriate cooperating medical and social agencies.
Both clinics provide free medical care, primarily to the uninsured poor and sick, and the homeless. The clinics offer physical exams, laboratory testing, x-rays, electrocardiograms, ultrasounds, and immunization. Patients often suffer from chronic medical conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), and asthma. The clinic provide immunizations for tetanus and influenza and tuberculosis skin testing. The clinics do not perform surgery or other invasive procedures.
Each clinic is staffed by volunteer physicians and nurses. For example, in the Oakland clinic, 12 physicians donate an average of six hours each week, 24 nurses donate an average of three hours each week, and four clerical volunteers assist with paperwork and provide translation services, as required, in three languages (Chinese, Spanish and Tagalog). The Oakland clinic also has a nurse practioner on staff.

DRAKE'S DRUM MOVED – ROBBERS WARNING – ROADWORKS BACKGROUND ….
If anyone with mariner blood has noticed a chill in the air, it could be coming from the ghosts of Buckland Abbey, who have had to say goodbye to Drake's Drum – far as anyone knows, the one which legend says will sound again and recall the old rogue from the other side if the nation is in peril.
Nobody can say for certain that it is but it is from the right period, it was kept in his house and it was sold to Plymouth Museums by the Drake family more than 50 years ago. It has remained at Buckland, on loan, almost ever since – but now Plymouth wants it for a new exhibition space, The Box, being built for the Mayflower anniversary shenanigans in 2020.
The drum was handed over during the winter closure at Buckland and is now being assessed and repaired in readiness for acclimatisation in its new home as soon as possible.
Officially, no hard feelings. Unofficially, there is some mourning at the Abbey. However, the decision is made.
According to Wikipedia, the real drum is in storage somewhere and Buckland has one of two copies. But the National Trust, which runs Buckland Abbey, says it has no knowledge of any duplicates of the one it is passing on.
The Walkhampton road was due to close this week for mucking out under cattle grids – a rolling maintenance job which will affect quite a lot of roads around here until the end of March.
Devon Highways has booked closures for five days for each but most should be done in one to three, depending on weather.
Tool thieves have been at work locally this month.
A local farmer caught two men wheeling his motorbike out of a shed on one of his premises and trapped their van with his. The suspects fled and later, after a night-time hunt by helicopter, two men on foot were arrested.
There was an airgun in the van and the word is that it held tools stolen from elsewhere over the previous day or two, including a premises at Whitchurch.
But nobody has yet been charged with anything.
The police said this week: "We were contacted around 3 am on Saturday January 5, with reports of a break-in in progress at Sampford Spiney. It is alleged that the suspects had broken into an outbuilding and attempted to steal a trial bike. Officers attended and found an unattended white van which contained an air rifle; then undertook local searches with the help of the police helicopter in efforts to locate the suspects.
Horrabridge's rowing marine, Lee Spencer, has made a pit stop in the Canaries, for repairs to his navigation system, after making good progress, guided mainly by the stars, over the first two weeks of his journey across the Atlantic.
Big supporting rowathon planned 12-9 this Saturday, Jan 26, on the rowing machine set up in the London Inn.
Still smiling through: Lee Spencer being helped ashore at Las Palmas on Tuesday.

Can two universities have the same name?
I am now developing a database having information about universities. The database has a feature to prevent a duplicate name for the university title. I actually wonder of whether it is possible for 2 universities/colleges to have the same name in one country or different countries.
EDIT: I am actually not asking to make this database field the unique identifier for my university entries, but rather for preventing potential duplicate of a university when the the data entry guys use the system. I know I can do a quick check on duplicates but I thought to use this Unique attribute if universities have unique names worldwide.

There are a number of Belgian universities which were one institution formerly, but have been split in two independent institutions during the language conflicts between the French and Dutch speaking citizens in the 1960ies. At the moment they in principle still carry the same name, but in the different languages. Examples are the Free Universities of Brussels (Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Université Libre de Bruxelles) or the Catholic Universities of Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and Université catholique de Louvain).
silvadosilvado
In Leuven/Louvain they did not only split off to start their own university, they founded an entire new town, such that there are now two cities Leuven/Louvain each speaking a different language. In a country where signs are only posted in the language of the location of the sign, that must be incredibly confusing. – gerrit Aug 17 '18 at 8:54
@gerrit Well "Louvain" is really called "Louvain-la-Neuve" (New Louvain), so I imagine that on signs they do add the adjective. – user9646 Aug 17 '18 at 9:00
@NajibIdrissi You'd hope so, but if their sign making is as bad as their road maintenance (and I've seen some very troublesome sign collections in Belgium), I wouldn't count on it. – Mast Aug 17 '18 at 13:37
Yes, for example there is a Heidelberg university in Heidelberg, Germany, and one in Tiffin, Ohio, USA.
Note that non-English names are sometimes rendered inconsistently in English, e.g. Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg is sometimes called "University of Heidelberg", sometimes "Heidelberg University" (even on their own website).
fqqfqq
Yes, two universities can have the same name.
Many universities are named after the place they're located in.
Many places in North-America, Australia, and New Zealand are named after places in Europe, in particular after places in Great Britain and Ireland.
Although I haven't done a complete survey, the chances would seem pretty high that this leads to a collision somewhere.
As ChristianW, OBu, and user2768 have all correctly pointed out, you should design your database such that a key is designed to be unique, not the university name.
gerritgerrit
Yes. As another example, many Catholic (or historically Catholic) Universities are named after Saints. For example, there are several "St. Mary's Universities". On a related theme, many colleges have Christianity based names including Trinity College, Christ College, Wesley among others (Thanks to Pedro and Peter for suggesting this).
Also, it seems "Queens" and "Kings" are popular college/university names.
Another thing to be careful about is the change of "Colleges" to "Universities". At least in the US, many "Colleges" changed their accreditation to "Universities". On a related note, you may also want to consider historic names versus present, depending upon the purpose of your database.
Richard EricksonRichard Erickson
Also "Trinity", like Dublin and Cambridge, among others. – Pedro Tamaroff Aug 17 '18 at 19:11
@PedroTamaroff : Trinity College also exists in Hartford, CT! trincoll.edu – Peter K. Aug 17 '18 at 19:55
@PeterK. - and Trinity University in San Antonio, TX just to further confuse things... – Jon Custer Aug 20 '18 at 17:34
@JonCuster It's ... disappointing that there are more than three of them. ;-) – Peter K. Aug 20 '18 at 18:21
As far as I can tell, the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul is entirely unrelated to the University of St. Thomas in Houston and they share a name.
There is a Metropolitan State University in Denver CO and another one in Saint Paul MN. They are completely separate. So, yes, two universities can have the same name. As others have recommended, you should use a surrogate primary key in your database design. That is usually a good idea anyway since you don't know when something that is unique today might become non-unique tomorrow. Plus integer surrogate keys are more efficient in joins than text fields.
Example: There are three unrelated instances of Westminster College, all in the United States.
Missouri (founded 1851): https://www.westminster-mo.edu/
Pennsylvania (founded 1852): http://www.westminster.edu/index.cfm
Utah (founded 1875): https://www.westminstercollege.edu/

Yes, two university can have the same name. One example is the Indian Institute of Technology, which is located in several places in India.

IHEU – Freedom of Religion and Belief
Information on UN Protocols of Human Rights Violations
The UN Human Rights Council
What are Your Rights?
The Freedom of Religion and Belief covers a wide variety of Human Rights. Several of these rights are of particular value to Humanists and the Humanist community.
This includes the right:
1) To change or renounce your religion.
2) Of expression and to blaspheme against a religion.
3) To provide moral education for your children.
4) To print and disseminate relevant publications.
5) From coercion of religion or belief.
6) To life, liberty and security from discrimination.
This section will explain in more detail the above rights as well as go over a contentious subject for much of the international community – whether or not 'Defamation of Religion' is merely a thinly veiled Blasphemy Law.
Please refer to the Further Resources section
There are three levels at which the State must protect these Rights:
1) RESPECT human rights within the States own policies and institutions;
2) PROTECT those rights from possible violations by others;
3) PROMOTE the enjoyment of those rights in the lives of society at large by contributing when possible to a sustainable culture
1) Freedom to Change or Renounce Your Religion
Apostasy has historically been one of the most heinous crimes you can commit within a religion. However, we now enjoy the freedom to change and renounce any past religions or beliefs we may have held.
Religions and worldviews do not have a right to keep any individual or group imprisoned within their communities. They cannot punish individuals for changing their beliefs and leaving those communities and worldviews. We are therefore free to do this when and as we choose.
2) Freedom of Expression and to Blaspheme Against Religion
As we are allowed to leave a religion or worldview when we see fit, we can also express our beliefs and perspectives about those other religions or beliefs. While Blasphemy laws are often condemned, many countries still attempt to introduce protection under 'Defamation of Religion' clauses, discussed in more below.
However, virtually every religion and worldview conflicts with every other, and often over sensitive issues. Because of this symmetrical and unavoidable conflict and to protect the expression of our beliefs, we maintain the right and freedom to state that another religion or worldview is wrong or immoral, what they consider holy we do not and that we do not worship or otherwise honor what they may think we should.
3) Freedom to Provide Moral Education AND
4) Freedom to Print and Disseminate Relevant Publications
One of the key issues in the Special Rapporteur's 2011 report on Paraguay (see: Further Resources) was the dominance of the Catholicism in public education and subsidies for their universities.
Hegemonic domination of an education system violates our basic freedoms to access of education. States must not endorse one religion to the exclusion of others, but instead maintain, when possible, an "education system [that] promotes principles of tolerance and respect for others and cultural diversity and the freedom of religion and belief."
Outside of the classroom this also means that individuals or organizations are allowed to disseminate educational materials for their own communities and publicly for others. So long as it does not violate other freedoms and rights, they cannot be barred from publishing and disseminating whatever they wish. Though this includes 'missionary activities', it does not, as discussed below, allow individuals or groups to step over the line into coercion.
5) Freedom from Coercion to a Religion or Belief AND
6) Freedom to Life, Liberty and Security from Discrimination
Many religions express a disdain for coercion. Unfortunately, many also do not or at least do not in practice. The UN guarantees everyone the right to be protected from coercive efforts to believe one religion or worldview. Just as we are guaranteed the opportunity to leave a religion, we cannot be forced to join any religion. This includes psychological and emotional coercion and threats of punishment in this or 'the next' life.
We are also protected from other indirect forms of coercion like discrimination from adequate housing, employment, protection from the law and other basic needs. And protected especially from torture, arbitrary arrest and from being barred from our rights to seek asylum.
'Defamation of Religion' and Blasphemy Laws
The Further Resources section contains a number of articles on recent cases of Blasphemy laws and their abuses in countries in Africa, Pakistan and the UK, among others.
Since 1999 several UN resolutions titled "Combating Defamation of Religions" have been adopted by the UN Human Rights Council, the General Assembly and other UN bodies. However, many critics, including the IHEU, continue to condemn the resolutions as subtle 'Blasphemy Laws' that criminalize criticism of religion and therefore violate our freedoms of religion and belief.
Blasphemy Laws are laws that prohibit statements that a given religion deems as sacrilegious, irreverent or profane. This has included clauses as weak as 'derogatory remarks' and in some countries has led to convictions as severe as the death penalty.
Defamation of Religion, however, is discussed in terms of competing rights, namely freedom of expression and freedom of religion. It is argued the former must be limited to protect the latter.
This includes 'negative projections' of a religion, stereotyping or 'frequent' and 'incorrect' associations of the religion with negative characteristics like terrorism. The main thrust of this movement has come mostly from the Islamic world pointing to a rise in Islamophobia.
The IHEU takes the stance and argues that:
1) Defamation of Religion Laws impair our Freedoms of Religion and Belief in addition to our Freedoms of Expression.
2) Defamation of Religion Laws contain the same potential for manipulation and human rights abuses and are therefore analogous to Blasphemy Laws.
3) Defamation of Religion Laws seek to address wrongs that would be better protected under already existing UN laws, specifically those concerning intolerance, incitement to violence and discrimination.
For further information, please see IHEU's detailed policy paper Speaking Freely About Religion: Religious Freedom, Defamation and Blasphemy.

The only really interesting thing is what happens between a mask and its wearer. This handmade raven mask is adorned with rooster feathers. Side view it appears to be swooping. Underside fully lined in velvet. Feather capped cord tie closure.


No notifications were sent to those who had messages deleted, nor was there any disclosure that such a thing was even possible. Only recently has the social media company taken steps to secure user data. And let's not forget that the company gave Zuckerberg and others the power to remove personal information, while at the same time distributing massive quantities of personal data to entities like Cambridge Analytica.
As the statement makes clear, it is not known quite when the "unsend" or "delete message" feature will be made available to everyone, and the claim that Facebook will not delete its own executives' messages is something that will be very hard to monitor. Lots of users are viewing that move as a breach of trust.
Facebook has plans to introduce a new "unsend" feature in a bid to keep users on side. Facebook is facing calls to separate the chairman and CEO roles, and some investors and observers want more oversight of Zuckerberg, the founder of the company, who has a controlling stake. Initially its starting in the USA and expanding to the rest of the world in the coming months.
The news has wiped-off nearly $50 billion from Facebook's market value as investors fear the Cambridge Analytica scandal could permanently damage the social network's reputation, deter advertisers and invite tougher regulation.
Facebook's newest feature for Messenger comes at a time when another controversy could be brewing for Facebook. It explained that during this time while it is working on the unsend feature that it will not be deleting the messages of any of its executives.
Facebook has also pointed out that similar tech has been available for Facebook Messenger already with an expiration timer for messages that can be set.
Facebook Messenger now offers a Secret Conversation mode where users can set a timer on when messages will be destroyed. "Mark is really sorry for that, and what we're doing now is taking really firm action". It's only for mortals like you and me. Users dont have to ability to delete sent messages, but those at the top of the platform did so anyway, leaving the received messages intact.
"We've seen a few advertisers pause with us and they're asking the same questions that other people are asking", Sandberg said Thursday in an interview at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California.

La Plaza de los Presidentes Argentinos Cordobeses es un espacio verde de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina.

Ubicación

La plaza se encuentra en la intersección de la Avenida General Paz y la calle La Tablada, en el centro de la ciudad de Córdoba.

Está formada por cuatro plazas más pequeñas, cada una de las cuales rinde homenaje a uno de los cuatro mandatarios nacionales originarios de la provincia, los cuales son:

 Santiago Derqui
 Miguel Juárez Celman
 José Figueroa Alcorta
 Arturo U. Illia

Este último no era nativo de Córdoba, pero fue incluido como "cordobés por adopción", ya que residió gran parte de su vida en la ciudad de Cruz del Eje y desarrolló su labor médica y política en la provincia.

Historia

En 1886 la Municipalidad de Córdoba creó en la intersección de la "calle Ancha" (hoy Av. Gral. Paz) y calle Tablada la Plaza General Paz, para ubicar en la misma un monumento ecustre al militar, el cual se inauguró el 18 de diciembre de 1887.

Allí permaneció por más de ochenta años, hasta que en 1970 el comisionado municipal de la ciudad de Córdoba, el arquitecto Hugo F. Taboada, a fin de agilizar el tránsito en la avenida, decide eliminar la plaza trasladando la estatua a otra ubicación.

Se abrieron las dos calles, quedando formadas cuatro plazoletas en lo que antes fue la Plaza General Paz. En las mismas se colocaron algunas figuras escultóricas.

Si bien ni se impuso nombre alguno a las nuevas plazoletas ni se realizó ninguna remodelación, el conjunto fue conocido con nombres como "Plazoleta del Suquía".

El 10 de junio de 1990 el edil Bernardo Martín de la Unión Cívica Radical presentó en el Concejo Deliberante de la ciudad un proyecto en el cual proponía el nombre de "Plaza de los Presidentes de Córdoba". El 23 de septiembre de 1992 se sancionó la ordenanza N° 8787 que impuso el nombre de Plaza de los Presidentes Argentinos Cordobeses (suprimiendo cualquier nombre anterior), ordenando colocar sendos bustos de los mandatarios homenajeados, uno en cada plazoleta.

Pero ello no quedó más que en una ordenanza, ya que por muchos años la situación de la plaza fue la misma, hasta que se procedió a su cumplimiento cerca de 2010.

Toponimia

Los nombres oficiales que ha tenido son los de "Plaza General Paz" y el actual, "Plaza de los Presidentes Argentinos Cordobeses". Asimismo, fue conocida por muchos años como la "Plaza del Caballo" (debido al monumento ecuestre ubicado en ella entre 1887 y 1971) y luego, como "Plazoleta del Suquía". Hoy es también nombrada como "ex Plaza General Paz".

UK to Crack down on Foreign Money Laundering in Real Estate
July 30, 2015 by Allison Halliday
The UK prime minister, David Cameron was recently in Singapore to give a speech at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. During the speech Mr Cameron outlined plans to clamp down on foreign criminals who are using shell companies to invest in real estate in London.
The announcement came after the National Crime Agency said that foreign criminals were pushing up prices in London when they invested laundered money into real estate. Now Mr Cameron says the UK Land Registry will publish data on foreign companies who own property in the UK. This will affect around 100,000 property titles. In addition the government is to look into ways to make foreign companies more transparent.
During the speech David Cameron talked about a recent case of a former Nigerian governor who was sentenced to 13 years in prison for laundering money in the UK. The Nigerian governor owned property in Dorset, Regent's Park, Hampstead and St. John's Wood, all of which had been bought with money that had been stolen from the Nigerian people.
The problem of foreign criminals investing laundered money into real estate isn't just confined to London as according to the article in WSJ.com, it's also an issue in New York City. This is trying to address the problem under new rules introduced by the current Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration. This requires that the names of all members of the shell company buying or selling real estate have to be disclosed to the city. The rules were introduced after a New York Times series looked into laundered money being used to purchase a property in New York City.
While activists have welcomed the news that these measures will be introduced in the UK by Mr Cameron, they feel things still need to go further. A London-based activist and research group, Global Witness says that introducing a list of foreign companies isn't enough if the real owners of these companies aren't actually revealed. They point out that unless it's known who is really behind these companies and where the money has been obtained from then it's likely that cash will continue to come into the UK.

Eva Green on nudity, insanity and Bond
By Adrian Deevoy 6 August 2014
From the GQ archive: Only the most seductive of actresses could play the woman who broke Bond's heart. And, as her spellbinding portrayal of Vesper Lynd proved, Eva Green is certainly that. Now, ahead of two diverse new roles in 2009, the beautiful Parisienne talks Adrian Deevoy through the nudity, insanity and idolatry of a leading lady's lot.
Here's a strange thing. While waiting for Eva Green - accomplished actress, artiste, angelic goth goddess - to arrive at Dukes Hotel in London, you select a discreet table in the corner of the bar. It allows you to observe your guest's entrance and subtly positions her in a flattering light, all late-morning dusty shafts and sharp-edged shadows. She'll like that. Actresses simply adore being well lit.
You could have sat by the bar or closer to a courtyard window but this feels right. It allows you to be noticed or ignored as you choose, and offers the more journalistically inclined a wide-angle view of the room.
So it may not be mere coincidence that this was also the seat that
Ian Fleming would insist upon when he took his early-evening Martini at Dukes during his drinking years.
Similarly, it might just be a curious twist of fate that Fleming would have celebrated his century last year, as did Dukes. And it could just be another Fleming-inspired fluke that Tony Micelotta, the head barman, has recently reintroduced the "vesper" - a tie-loosening combination of gin, vodka and Lillet Blanc.
All of these unsettling concurrences are drawn together by a pale apparition in the doorway. Apologising airily for being five minutes late, Eva Green - whom you will know better as Vesper Lynd, the woman who tamed James Bond - breezes into the bar. It is heartening to see that she is wearing a broad smile because this woman, by her own admission, is French. And French women can be tricky. They can communicate using the most basic body language: the ennui-laden sigh, a sultry sideways glance, a sullen pout, the lengthy pause and, of course, the pièce de résistance, the mighty Gallic shrug. And, during her brief stay, Eva Green will deploy all of these devices with a few new ones thrown in for good measure.
That's not to say she doesn't laugh. She does, with surprising regularity. And even cracks the odd joke, although these are often delivered deadpan with gloriously impenetrable punch lines.
Eva is also one of the few brave souls in the entertainment industry who will answer an interview question with a protracted, Pinteresque silence. Thankfully, such interludes are rare. We speak in English. Having studied in London, the 28-year-old actress speaks in a hybrid accent that fuses the perfectly posh with the glottal-stoppingly common. You sense that she is proud of her linguistic abilities and she blushes lightly when you enquire which particular accent she is using today. "It's a mixture of German, Chinese and French," she says sharply. "Can't you tell?"
Dressed in black from head (dyed, she's naturally fair) to toe (sensible boots) via an overcoat that would delight an undertaker, Eva expresses unconvincing regret that she "didn't turn up in a wild dress and high heels. I shouldn't have dressed so... natural."
Her make-up, however, is anything but natural. The dramatic rings of trademarkkohl encircle almond eyes that appear to change colour with her mood. Her pupils are so big you fear they may have their own gravitational pull.
Which, in a sense, they have. These are the eyes that led legendary director Bernardo Bertolucci to gasp, "She is so beautiful it is indecent," before casting the then 23-year-old novice in his controversial hashish-puffing, clothes-free semi-classic The Dreamers.
But more of that later. First, we need to talk about breasts.
Eva's... Although we meet in a bar that modestly claims to serve "the best bespoke Martini in the world", we reluctantly agree that it's too early in the day for strong liquor and settle on a pot of Earl Grey.
But whenever Martinis are on the menu, it's never long before some smart aleck - your reporter, in this instance - brings up the well-loved Dean Martin line about the similarities between the high-octane cocktail and a woman's breasts. "One isn't enough, two is perfect and three is just... wrong." "I've heard that," she offers politely. "And, I guess it's true."
Which leads us to a discussion of Eva Green's breasts. In some cobwebbed corner of cyberspace, there exists a heated exchange of views about her bosom. Specifically, her nipples.
"I remember seeing that," Eva says, arching a long eyebrow. "It was when The Dreamers came out and I googled myself. My ego drove me to it. It was an insane thing to do. Then I saw that weird discussion and decided never to do it again. People can get very mean. They get angry even if it's just a dress you wore that they didn't like. It's actually quite masochistic to google yourself because you know that not everyone is going to like you.
Or your nipples."
Is that just a male fixation? You don't get groups of women discussing nipples online, do you?
"No, you don't." A sip of tea. "A penis, maybe."
Just lately, a more highbrow debate has swept through the media.
In the light of 007's vengeful pining in Quantum Of Solace, had Eva Green given us the greatest ever portrayal of a female Bond co-star as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale?
Let us examine the facts: James Bond - hardly the king of commitment - fell for her completely. And we did too. This was because Vesper was funny, whip-smart, passionate, soulful, mysterious, troubled and beautiful. (And, lest we forget she's not actually real, beautifully written.)
The character combined the sexual allure of Ursula Andress in
Dr. Nowith the sophisticated elegance of Sophie Marceau's Elektra King in The World Is Not Enough. The acting was sublime.
Eva used tiny brush strokes to create a delicate creature who touched your heart. You were heartbroken when she died. Grown men wept. "Then I did my job," Eva laughs. "That was what I was hoping would be the reaction."
**Why, to your mind, did Bond fall in love with Vesper?
** It's so far away. So long ago. She was an enigma and it's attractive for men not to be able to see through someone. And they were quite similar. There was a Ping-Pong game going on. But it's difficult to say why you fall in love, isn't it? It's more like a chemical thing rather than "here are the reasons why I'm in love with you".
**Have you been in love in your life?
** In my little life? Yes, I have. It's... quite exhausting.
It's great, then it becomes something else and you have to work on it. It's wonderful and you'd be dead otherwise. Love makes you feel alive.
**Have you had your heart broken?
** Not yet. And it's not something you can prepare for either. It's going to happen and it's going to hurt. What can you do?
**Could an Englishman break your heart?
** Who knows? The cliché of the Englishman - quite uptight, the head not quite connected to the body - I've found generally to be untrue. But everyone is different. A lot of them have been actors.
**How good an actor is Daniel Craig?
** He's fantastic. Daniel belongs to England now and for many people he is Bond. Just as I am Vesper as far as a lot of people are concerned. But Daniel is a great actor. And a great man. And he has the most beautiful eyes. He's not too bad looking.
**Is he the quality kisser he appears to be?
** Well, he's not my boyfriend so it's different. You're not really enjoying yourself when kissing on-screen. He's a great partner and we tried our best to make it look convincing but it's a long way away from real kissing.
**Would you have liked to have physically appeared in Quantum Of Solace and not just in spirit?
** I don't know how I could have without it looking like a horror movie. How could they have done it? Flashbacks would look so... stupid. No, I think it's good that I'm not in it. I'm glad I'm dead.
**Was it a strange experience for you watching Quantum Of Solace?
** This is a bit embarrassing, but I haven't seen it yet.
And I really should have. I'm going to go this weekend.
**Maybe you have some psychological block about seeing it?
** Maybe.
**Has Vesper been your favourite performance so far?
** My favourite performance was actually in The Dreamers. There was a magic about the film and an innocence that you can only really achieve when you are making your first movie. Everything's new and fascinating.
**Did you take the part solely because Bertolucci was directing?
** It was a major element. We used to go to his house in Paris for dinner. He became like a father figure. It was strange but... great. He doesn't have any children so he kind of adopted us... all these incredible stories about people such as Marlon Brando.
In retrospect, do you feel that the nudity ultimately overshadowed the movie?
I hope not, but it probably did for a while. In America it did because it was only shown in New York and LA. Like they're the only people in America who could deal with seeing a naked woman.
Ridiculous. It's a pity people want to talk about your bum and boobs more than how the film affected them. Though, it's funny becauseThe Dreamers didn't have great reviews when it came out.
Everybody likes it more now.
**Everybody, that is, except for your father.
** Yes, except my father. He didn't like it but he's married to my mother who's an actress [Marlène Jobert], he should understand that it's only acting and not a porn film. But for him it was as if I'd done a porn film. He buys the DVDs of all the movies I've been in, he has them there on his shelf, but not
The Dreamers.
If it is any consolation to him, Mr Green (a Swede, by the way, so it's pronounced "Grain") may be more taken with his daughter's latest brace of films. In Franklyn, Gerald McMorrow's ambitious directorial debut, Eva plays two contrasting characters: a needy conceptual artist and a long-lost childhood sweetheart who both share the capacity to entrance and terrorise. You're just never sure which is the more frightening.
Her second major release of 2009 will be Cracks, directed by Jordan Scott, Ridley's daughter. Shot in Ireland and set in the Thirties, this study of innocence corrupted in a girl's boarding school couldn't be further removed from
Franklyn's warped futuristic mindscapes.
As Miss G, Eva takes the role of a fervently adored and slightly deranged swimming teacher. "I seduce a student," she warns. By now, the more astute cinephile will notice a pattern emerging in Eva Green's painstakingly selected but perfectly formed portfolio. She does a good nutter. "They're such great fun," she enthuses, waving her arms in a swirling motion around her head like an especially uninhibited person. "But you can't just play a mad person as if they were this big ball of crazy energy. Madness can exist in the smallest details."
Do you find it easy to come out of character after a film's been made?
Well, I'm not Daniel Day-Lewis. It's a bit pretentious to come home and remain in character. Can you imagine? It must be pretty hard to live with. I'm sure Daniel Day-Lewis is very sweet but if he takes some of those roles home with him then it must be quite tense. I wouldn't want to be his wife.
**Was the maverick artist you play in Franklyn inspired, in any way, by *GQ'*s very own Tracey Emin?
** To a point. I read a lot about her but I didn't know her work, and somebody said maybe you should have a look at her video art... amazing. I read a book about her childhood in Margate, which was really interesting.
**Maybe the two of you should go out for a night on the town.
** I'm afraid she would think I was very uptight. She looks... bonkers. And she talks so much about sex. Not in a vulgar way, in fact it's often very moving. There's something very childlike about her.
**Well, we love her. You also worked with Sam Riley in
Franklyn. Did you see him in the Joy Division film?
** Control? Yes. Amazing. Especially the scenes when he was on stage. Very cool. His physicality was very interesting. That dancing! Sam's very sweet and humble to work with but also very naughty. He makes you laugh all the time on set which can be... fatal.
The tea is going cold and the talk in Ian Fleming's happy-hour hideaway is getting distinctly random. And if abstract conversation were an Olympic event, then the French would be tough to topple. Giggling with glee at GQ's more intriguing questions, Eva Green seems more at ease with this off-beat interrogation than the prosaic business of movie promotion. (A process she endearingly calls "the bollocks" and yes, she learnt that from Daniel Craig, the suave old spy.) Yet she considers each query with the furrow-browed concentration of a true Left Bank existentialist, before replying in a voice that appears to be getting breathier by the minute.
What was the first thing you did today?
Went for a run, down along the canal. Then had breakfast. You can't have breakfast first unless you want to vomit. And then did some gardening, which is my new passion.
**Is there something about gardening that literally connects you to the earth?
** It makes me feel very calm. In the beginning I was very much, "Oh God, it's a worm!" Now I love them all.
Would you agree that pulling a carrot from the ground can have a certain erotic charge?
Ooh, definitely...
Do you dream in French?
I'm sure I do. I can't remember my dreams but I am so French...
What does being French mean to you?
My mother's French, most of my friends are French. It's hard to analyse what it means but it's pretty deep.
So why live here?
I moved here four years ago initially to improve my English. I didn't know whether I'd stay but now I love the life, the village-y thing, the space. There's more air in London than Paris. Although Paris is more beautiful, it's small.
Is the food here a disappointment for a French woman?
No, not at all. I love the restaurants in London. The average restaurant in London is far better than in Paris. Of course there are still some of the great restaurants in Paris but London has improved and it's much more international. You can eat food from New Zealand or China here whereas in Paris you go to a little café and it's pretty disgusting. You get acroque monsieuror something.
I'm not the greatest cook. I like sitting down and eating. And drinking. Red wine. I love Australian red wine.
You're going to get beheaded in France for saying that.
Yes, but I don't care. Full-bodied, big Australian wines are my favourite. It goes straight to the head.
You live alone...
Yes, come and visit me.
**Do you live alone by choice or are you impossible to live with?
** I'm sure I'm not the easiest person but who is? I'm probably a pain in the arse at times.
**What are your least appealing qualities?
** I'm obsessive. Too much of a perfectionist. Not in that certain things must be in their place or the floor must be cleaned in a particular way. In fact, I'm really bad at cleaning. It's more about getting the things in my head in order. I should see a shrink about it. I'm disorganised. Everything is improvised at the last moment.
Can being beautiful become tiresome?
No, because if people don't like my tits there's always my face.
I'm joking.
But is it ever a burden?
Burden is a big word. I don't look at myself and think, "God, I'm so stunning."
Could you "ugly down" for a part?
Like Charlize Theron or something? Not for the sake of being ugly but if it's a good part, of course."
What would you do if you woke up ugly tomorrow?
Become a gardener.
Can you play the piano?
I used to play the piano. I stopped when I was about 17. If I sat down at a piano now I could probably play one or two pieces. Maybe Chopin's "Nocturnes".
What was the first pop concert you went to?
I think it was Blur in Paris. Weirdly. I was 14. I used to be in love with them. I really liked the guy with the fringe.
Alex James has let himself go now and makes cheese for a living.
Really. Cheese? Amazing.
What was the last music you purchased?
Liederby Strauss. I went to this exhibition of an Austrian artist and it was a revelation. This music was playing and you could buy the CD. So I did. It's very beautiful.
What was the last music you listened to?
Some Egyptian music this morning. I was listening to it while I was having my bath.
Who would your ideal dinner date be?
The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. I don't know him physically, I don't know if I'd sleep with him but I'm sure we would have a nice dinner.
Are you familiar with his work?
Yes, he lied. Such a wonderful writer. So interesting and unique.
A lot of it doesn't make sense. Cats that talk. Very Japanese.
Can you become invisible easily?
Yes, I hide a lot. You wouldn't know it was me. I put on my glasses, because I'm very short-sighted, and I wear a hat. You should see me, I look like a real geek.
What are you going to do next?
Go to John Lewis and buy a kettle.*[

U.S.-Canada Harmonizing Border Security and Immigration Measures
The U.S. and Canada have made significant progress in advancing the Beyond the Border deal and continue to implement various perimeter security initiatives. Without much fanfare, they have signed an immigration agreement that would allow them to share biographic and at a later date, biometric information. As part of a North American security perimeter, both countries are further harmonizing border security and immigration measures. Canada is further taking on U.S. security priorities and this could include a bigger role in the war on terrorism.
It's been over a year since Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama announced the Beyond the Border and the Regulatory Cooperation Council action plans. On December 14, 2012, the U.S. and Canada issued the Beyond the Border implementation report that highlights the objectives that were achieved over the past year and the work that has yet to be done. It explained that moving forward, "Key future initiatives include harmonizing our trusted trader programs, making significant infrastructure investments at our key land border crossings, fully implementing an entry/exit program at the land border, expanding preclearance operations to the land, rail, and marine domains." The report also acknowledged challenges facing the Next-Generation pilot project which would permit teams of cross-designated officers to operate on both sides of the border. It was originally scheduled to begin last summer. While steady progress has been made, a lot more work is needed to meet the goals of the Beyond the Border action plan. Over the next several years, other aspects of the deal will be phased-in incrementally with specific deliverables due this year, in 2014 and also in 2015.
Another important facet of the economic and security perimeter agreement is the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC). A progress report to the leaders outlines accomplishments made in aligning regulations in the areas of agriculture and food, transportation, the environment, health and personal care products, workplace chemicals, as well as nanotechnology. This includes cooperation on pilot projects, scientific and technical collaborations and harmonized testing procedures. RCC working groups have developed detailed work plans for the various initiatives with objectives that will be implemented over the next couple of years. In Canada, some fear that deepening regulatory integration with the U.S. could weaken and erode any independent regulatory capacity. This could lead to a race to the bottom with respect to regulatory standards.
In December of last year, the U.S. and Canada signed the Immigration Information Sharing Treaty which is tied to the Beyond the Border deal. Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney stated that the, "agreement builds on our countries' mutual efforts to protect our common borders and the surrounding perimeter, through improved screening of immigrants and visitors." He went on to say, "Enhanced information sharing of foreign nationals will protect the safety and security of Canadians by helping us prevent terrorists, violent criminals, and others, who pose a risk, from entering Canada or the United States." Under the treaty, Canada and the U.S. will share biographic information from third country nationals who apply for a visa, a travel permit or claim asylum. In 2014, it will also include the sharing of biometric information. There are privacy concerns on how far-reaching the data collected will be shared. This threatens the sovereignty of Canada with regards to retaining control over information at its own borders.
On December 28, 2012, President Obama signed into law, the Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere Act which is designed to curb Iran's presence and activity in the region. The bill calls on the Department of Homeland Security to work with Canada and Mexico, "to address resources, technology, and infrastructure to create a secure United States border and strengthen the ability of the United States and its allies to prevent operatives from Iran, the IRGC, its Qods Force, Hezbollah, or any other terrorist organization from entering the United States." Julie Carmichael, spokeswoman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews discussed Canada's efforts to counter any perceived hostility from Iran in the Americas. She is quoted in the Globe and Mail as saying, "We continually assess threats while co-operating with international partners, including the U.S., to address threats to our common security." Carmichael added, "The Beyond the Border Action Plan as announced by Prime Minister Harper and President Obama provides a framework to identify threats before they reach North America." Under the perimeter security deal, Canada is further aligning itself with U.S. foreign policy interests and could be expected to play a greater role in the global war on terror.
Through the Beyond the Border agreement, the U.S. and Canada are deepening economic and security integration which is laying the foundation for a North American security perimeter. Both countries are also engaged in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations with Mexico and other member nations. This is part of efforts to create a free trade area of the Asia-Pacific and could be used to update and expand NAFTA. Another key priority for U.S.-Canada relations is North America's energy future. President Obama is expected to make a final decision on the Keystone XL pipeline sometime this year. Meanwhile, there is growing environmental opposition to the proposed project which would carry oil from western Canada to the Texas gulf coast.

Q: Auto-reload pdf viewer while editing latex files I use the llpp pdf viewer when editing my LaTeX files. To have it automatically refreshing the pdf file when I compile, I use a wrapper to launch it (cf. this).
The part handling the waiting and refreshing is this one :
inotifywait -m -e close_write $1 | while read; do
    kill -HUP $pid_llpp
done &

My problem is the following : whenever an error occurs in the compilation of the tex file, no pdf output is procuded and llpp is closing. I tried something like that :
inotifywait -m -e close_write $1 | while read; do
    if [ -a $1 ]
    then
        kill -HUP $pid_llpp
    fi
done &

It works partially : when an error occurs during the compilation, llpp doesn't close but does not refresh anymore...
Could anyone help me to solve this problem ?

A: Update: Since release v26 llpp ships the wrapper script in an polished version! You find it as misc/llpp.inotify in the llpp distribution.

I pushed a partial fix to your problem (full script here):
inotifywait -m -e close_write "$PWD" | while read dir ev file; do
if [ "$file" = "$pdf" ] && [ -e "$pdf" ]; then
    kill -HUP $pid_llpp
fi
done &

This checks whether the current pdf file is still available and only then fires the update event. This is similar to what you have done. However I can still be the case that llpp will close as the file might disappear directly after the check. I have no idea how to tackle this.
The problem of not refreshing after the error has been fixed is solved by watching the folder containing the pdf and filtering out the events for the pdf. If inotify is call directly on the file it seems to miss all events after delete.
If you are still interested in it, please let me know if it works for you.
(As a side note: The wrapper is now also able to pass flags to llpp)
