French seemed puzzled by the 'Yes We Can' Sarkozy posters (Video)
December 2, 2008 in Barack Obama, Obama | Tags: change, France, hope, Obama, Paris, poster, sarkozy, world, Yes We Can | Leave a comment
The poster that saw Barack Obama rise to fame has been altered to accommodate the beaky face of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and plastered around the streets of Paris. Nobody knows who's behind the somewhat baffling idea; only that the mystery is attracting a lot of attention.
The image is a take-off of the poster designed by LA artist Shepard Fairey for Obama's election campaign. There are various accompanying messages, like "Make polluting companies pay: Yes we can", and "Save each household €1,000 a month: Yes we can".
The poster-plasterers in action: "Who are they?" "What do they want?"
The Associated Press says that Sarkozy's centre-right UMP party has denied being behind the campaign. Regrettably, according to a representative from the party's youth movement, who said: "we would have liked it to have been us, because we like this message". The Elysee has paid no heed to the campaign… Unlike the French media, which is tying itself in knots over the mystery. Young artists trying to be controversial? Subliminal messaging from industrialists? An anti-Sarko campaign in disguise? Whoever it is, they're certainly enjoying themselves. Yesterday the group posted photos and videos of themselves prancing around Paris, hidden behind the very posters in question.
European Leaders Agree to Inject Cash Into Banks
October 13, 2008 in Economy | Tags: Angela Merkel, Banks, Belgian, Brown, Elysée Palace, EU, EU members, European Leaders, European states, European Union, European Union members, France, German, German chancellor, Gordon Brown, Inject Cash, interbank lending, interbank lending market, Nicolas Sarkozy, President Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Minister, toolbox | Leave a comment
Government leaders from the major European Union members posed on the steps of the Élysée Palace in Paris on Sunday during their economic summit.
PARIS — European financial and political leaders agreed late Sunday to a plan that would inject billions of euros into their banks in a bid to restore confidence to the teetering financial system.
Taking their cue from a rescue plan announced last week by Britain, the European countries led by Germany and France pledged to take equity stakes in distressed banks and vowed to guarantee bank lending for periods up to five years.
Both France and Germany were planning to unveil national rescue packages on Monday worth hundreds of billions of euros, officials said.
"The meeting that we had was exceptional," President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, said at a news conference. "We need concrete measures, we need unity. That's what we achieved. The plan on which we agreed today will be applied in all our respective states."
"The goal is to kick-start the interbank lending market," he said.
President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, left, welcomed Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain to the Élysée Palace
The plan "treats all the dimensions of the financial crisis," Mr. Sarkozy said.
The Belgian finance minister, Didier Reynders, said, "We are committed in all European states to recapitalize banks if we establish a threat to solvency and a risk to the economy."
Mr. Reynders said the European Central Bank had also committed to helping to unfreeze the commercial paper market, which companies use to finance day-to-day operations.
Leaders of the 15 countries that use the euro did not put a price tag on any of their promises — contrary to Britain, where Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced £150 billion, or $255 billion, in government funds and other measures, and the United States, where a $700 billion bailout plan will now partly be used to recapitalize banks.
European officials said actions would be taken at the national level, within the framework of the agreed "toolbox." The idea, they said, was that governments face different challenges and needed to act quickly but that a common front would avoid the possibility that one country might undercut another.
Each country, Mr. Reynders said, will announce concrete figures for the measures they expect to take individually.
"There is no question of setting up a European fund," he said.
Announcements last week by Britain and the United States that they would move to take ownership shares in ailing banks, the 15 leaders of the countries that use the euro found themselves looking for a collective response to avoid tit-for-tat actions by individual countries that might harm their neighbors.
European officials said actions would be taken at the national level, within the framework of the agreed "toolbox."
Mr. Brown said earlier after meeting at the Elysée Palace with Mr. Sarkozy, that he believed Europe would "work together with America." Mr. Brown, whose country has maintained its own currency, the pound, also warned that the decisions made Sunday would have economic consequences for years to come.
In contrast to the meeting last weekend, European leaders on Sunday seemed to be reading from the same script.
"Our goal is to have coordinated action for the euro zone," Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, said, and the meeting "is a very important signal for the strength of the euro zone."
Germany is considering a plan to inject 50 billion to 100 billion euros into its banks, with a price tag for all of the new measures reaching as much as 400 billion euros, or $536 billion, according to a person briefed on the government's work. A German official cautioned that the numbers remained speculative.
Republican hot potato: Sarah Palin and the exorcist preacher
October 4, 2008 in John McCain, McCain, Palin, Sarah Palin | Tags: Alaska, Alaska governor, Bible literal, church, evangelical, France, McCain, muthee, Pentecostal, Republican Party, Republicans Abroad, thomas muthee, vote Democrat, Wall Street, wasilla | 1 comment
A video of Sarah Palin being blessed by a preacher and exorcist appeared on the Internet.
The video was posted on YouTube on Thursday, but the blessing actually happened in May 2005, two days before Palin officially put herself forward as a candidate for Alaska governor. Pastor Thomas Muthee, originally from Kenya, is from the Pentecostal movement, evangelical protestants who interpret the Bible literally. Pentecostal followers believe, for example, that the laying on of hands can heal sick people when other medications have failed.
Sarah Palin's campaign team immediately denied that she was a Pentecostal. But in another video, filmed in June 2008 (see below), the possible vice president of America explains how Muthee's prayers helped her to win the Alaska election.
"Thirty to forty per cent of Americans share these beliefs"
Stuart Haugen is vice-chair of Republicans Abroad France.
I don't see anything shocking about this video, even if there are some things that I don't agree with. I'd say that 30% to 40% of Americans share these beliefs and wouldn't find it strange at all. Me, too. When I was a student, I belonged to a similar church. The pastor's talking about sorcery, but what he means is that there are both good and bad forces in the world. If you believe in God, you also believe in the opposite.
I'd like to make it clear that in the US, religion and politics are quite separate. The video shows Sarah Palin's personal convictions, that's all. And a vice president doesn't decide on the law.
If the intellectuals and the media want to have a crack at Palin, that's because she scares them. I think she's already secured two million more votes for McCain. And among them are several hundreds of thousands of people who will travel the country to get even more voters on their side. That's what they were missing, while Obama had more money and a broader base of volunteers. In the end, McCain is a centrist, he needed Palin to reassure the conservative and evangelical voters. Now he'll be able to criticise Bush more openly, because he knows that the right-wing side will still follow."
"Palin and McCain scare Wall Street"
Dana Blankenhorn is a former finance journalist from Atlanta. He supports the Democrats.
Sarah Palin is a nutjob! There's a relevant saying here: 'If people find you too racist in Idaho [a state known for being particularly racist in the olden days], they'll think you're great in Alaska…'
McCain chose her because she makes up a very involved minority; not because she represents what Americans think. I doubt more than 10% of Americans believe in sorcery. But in an election, there's a small block who aren't interesting in anything but tipping the election. The Republicans know it, and that's how they've won in the past.
The Republican Party is supported by three groups: the Wall Street types, the neo-cons and the evangelists. But now, I think that their coalition is breaking up. Palin and McCain scare Wall Street. Especially since McCain ruined the plan to rescue the economy, while the White House and Obama both accepted it. The power always follows Wall Street. I don't think this video will change the election, but I do think the economic crisis will push a number of Republicans to vote Democrat."

Starting September 9, only fully vaccinated individuals can enter the movie halls kept at half capacity. As we await an announcement from our local theatres, we've curated a list of 2021 movies to look forward to before entering the new year. From Marvel releases to movie sequels, we can't wait to be back in the theatres once again.

Halloween Kills (October 15)
The movie takes place after the 2018 release of Halloween as a sequel and the twelfth instalment of the slasher-horror franchise.

We bet you've heard the buzz revolving around Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya lately, and with a duo like these charming stars, Dune is going to be a guaranteed hit. The 1965 sci-fi novel hits the big screen in October, and we're looking forward to seeing Timothée's debut as Paul Atreides.

Starring Ansel Elgort as Tony, he acts alongside newcomer Rachel Zegler as she makes her acting debut as Maria.

Jesus' words are clear: "in this world you will have trouble" (John 16:33).
Often, harder than facing our own troubles is watching those we love struggle. We don't always know how to help.
When Lazarus died and his sisters mourned, Jesus wept. Standing with His friends, mourning their shared loss, Jesus knew He was going to raise Lazarus from the dead. He knew His friend wouldn't be in the ground forever. Yet Jesus, fully man and fully God, grieved with them (John 11).
So often our first reaction when we witness pain is to want it to end immediately. Rather than experience natural, God-created emotions, we want to skip to what we're comfortable with. We'd prefer to point to how it's going to be okay or to put it in perspective.
Yet, as the passage in Romans 12 states, we are also to weep with those weep.
Like Jesus, even as we know that God has a sovereign plan to work all things for good, we sometimes need to wait on the "fix".
We are, instead, to experience sorrow and other emotions alongside others. There is a time for all things, as Ecclesiastes 3 says, including feeling what is only natural to feel.
At such an emotional time (Jesus sweat blood in anguish!) Jesus desired to have loved ones nearby. They were simply to keep watch, waiting while He prayed and wrestled with the Lord.
The Greek word for "keep watch," which is transliterated "grégoreó," literally means "stay awake". Jesus wanted His friends to be awake with Him in the difficult hour. Many of us have friends whose troubles have them spending sleepless nights and lonesome days wrestling with God and crying out to Him.
What a simple task it is to simply be there, and be aware. The disciples weren't asked to intervene or intercede. They couldn't possibly know all the turmoil in Jesus' soul. But they could stay near. We can too.
There is a time for comfort. Just as much as we need to share each other's burdens, we also must build each other in hope. Paul alludes to our hope –our comfort- in 2 Corinthians 1. He explains: through the experiences we simply cannot bear ourselves, we learn to rely on God.
Our God is our comfort and our hope. He is also our comforter.
No words we can come up with is as comforting as the truth of the Lord. Suggestions that everything will be okay, or that it will get better in time, are words spoken without full assurance. Plenty of things aren't okay and don't get better in this world. Yet we have comfort to offer, and it is what (who) God gives us: His only son.
In times of trouble, our hope is secure. Our God is unchanging. Jesus saves us. Nothing can separate us from His love. He works all things together for good according to His purposes. He is perfect. Christ is sufficient, His power made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
This is the comfort we receive, even as He identifies with our sufferings. Pointing to Him is the best comfort we can give.
Next PostDon't Spoil the Surprise!
Thank you for sharing this post, Bethany! What a wonderful reminder that we are human, and in our creation we were designed to feel with each other and bear our most authentic emotions with each other, and not rush past to experience only the comfortable feelings. This a great reminder that we are here to pick each other up, but we are also here to share our tears with one another in empathy. Beautiful. Thank you and God bless!
Thank you Lance! I'm so grateful God teaches us how to be godly in loving each other as human beings, even in the hardest times.
Thank you for sharing this, Bethany! Living in this fallen, broken world means that we and others have to go through trials and hard times. It's so good to recognize that in His Word, God gives us ways to sit with those who are hurting. That is so important. God bless you!
True, Ronja! I'm thankful God is clear about hardship and about helping others through it. I know He uses you to comfort many in your line of work : ) God bless you too!
So beautiful, Bethany. It took me a lot of years to learn how to respond like this (still learning, actually). These three responses are so much more helpful and comforting than trying to "fix it" or (worse) pretending the situation doesn't exist.
Thank you Lois, I'm absolutely still learning this too. Being a doer, "fix it" is my tendency, but God's Word shows another (better!) way!


This week, we have the latest real estate numbers for La Plata County for the month of January. The attached charts show a detailed breakdown of several market segments in La Plata County, showing La Plata County as a whole, Durango In-Town, Durango Rural, Bayfield In-Town, Bayfield Rural, Ignacio In-Town, Ignacio Rural, and Durango Mountain Area.
These charts indicate the statistics and key metrics for single family homes and townhouses/condos, including new listings, sold listings, median sales price, and more. They compare January 2019 to January 2018, (with the year to date information the same at this point in the year). We also see the rolling 12 month median sales price for single family homes and townhouses/condos in these segments. We always appreciate these charts to be able to spot trends within our local market, and compare results to previous years.
La Plata County single family homes had a significantly lower number of new listings this January compared to last January; however, the sold listings were completely even. The median sales price increased substantially this January. So, although the new listing activity was slower, it's excellent to see the high median sales price and comparable sold listing number. The La Plata County townhouse/condo market had a few more new listings with a slightly lower number of sold listings and lower median sales price.
Durango In-Town single family home numbers reflect fewer new listings, a marginal increase in sold listings, and a solid increase in the median sales price. The Durango In-Town townhouse/condo market had fewer new listings, and even number of sold listings and a lower median sales price this January compared to last January.
The Durango Mountain Area townhouse/condo market had a standout month. There were several new listings, an even number of sold listings, and the median sales price is substantially higher this January compared to last January.
Overall, with only one month into the year, it's too early to tell what trends we will see for 2019. As always, we encourage you to take a look at each of these segments in detail, and let us know if you have any questions. We will be holding an open house on Saturday at 184 Sierra Vista Street from 1-3. We'd love you to stop by!

When a disclosure document isn't required
Automotive, Blog, Cannabis, Grocery, Health, Home Services, Hotel, Jean-Marc Leclerc, Personal Services, Professional Services, Restaurant, Retail
An Ontario court just ruled in favour of Pizza Pizza, saying it does not have to give a new disclosure document to a store owner when a franchise agreement is renewed.
The court relied on a renewal exemption in the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000, saying that because the franchise holder knew the facts—he would have to renovate his store at some point in the future, as described in the original agreement signed some 15 years ago—there was no requirement to provide them again formally in a new disclosure document.
There are very few court decisions on how and when exemptions to disclosure obligations are available to franchisors. This case makes it clear that disclosure on renewal will not be required, provided the franchisee has full knowledge of material facts as defined by the province.
But franchisors still need to pay close attention to disclosure requirements. Relying on exemptions in the legislation can be costly, and fraught with uncertainty. Though Pizza Pizza won this case, there remain many unanswered disclosure questions.
Whenever a franchise agreement is being considered or renewed, legal advice is needed to understand how Ontario's disclosure laws will apply.
The full decision is available on-line.

This module examines the role of science in addressing key contemporary issues in Human Biology and Biomedical Sciences. The module aims to take an integrative approach, aiming to develop in students both a critical appreciation of the ways in which issues in Human Biology can be approached and resolved, and to develop an understanding of the skills and attributes needed for effective study of such issues at undergraduate level.
Molecules to Cells (FMD001)
This module introduces key concepts involved in cell regulation including genetic inheritance, metabolism and protein expression. The important role of enzymes in the control of biochemical pathways will be introduced, as will an introduction to cell signalling. Cellular organisation within different tissues will also be outlined, enabling students to recognise links between structure and function. Students should develop sufficient theoretical and practical understanding to enable progression to relevant honours degree programmes.
Introduction to Human Physiology (FMD002)
This module will provide a foundation of knowledge and understanding of human anatomy and physiology. Using example systems, it will emphasise relationships between structure and function and examine homeostatic regulation in these systems. Students should develop sufficient theoretical and practical understanding to enable progression to relevant honours degree programmes.
Interdisciplinary Learning and Team Based Learning (Enquiry learning) (FMD004)
This module is designed to enable learners to develop key skills required for working in multidisciplinary teams. Students will be encouraged to work with their colleagues to manage tasks and tailor learning according to their own particular discipline

Joe's positive experience of studying BSc (Hons) Dental Therapy and Hygiene at Plymouth has left him keen to encourage more males to apply.
"Plymouth offers a modern and unique way of learning, with a large emphasis on integration. You learn alongside Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students throughout, working together as a team to offer a holistic approach to patient care. I was aware dental hygiene and therapy was a female-dominated career but finding out I was the only male dental hygiene and therapy student of my cohort was quite surprising. However, I integrated well and we all supported each other. Working so closely with BDS gave us the opportunity to make friendships across the courses and this is what made Plymouth stand out to me."
Joseph Burchell, Dental Therapy and Hygiene Graduate
Ruby, a first year Dental Therapy and Hygiene student, talks about what inspired her to join the course and what it's like studying at Plymouth.
"Studying at Plymouth is great because the Dental Therapy and Hygiene course and Dentistry course are closely integrated. This team working approach to learning is really useful as working as part of a team is an essential part of the dental profession."

Do you want to lead a Startup?
This summer, Launch Factory will be hosting its first Founders Recruitment Process to identify the leaders of its new startup!
Throughout this 6-week process, teams of two entrepreneurs will be tasked with delivering work products related to a real Launch Factory startup. These tasks are designed to test each team's ability to develop and lead a startup company.
Each team consists of two founders, a President & VP of Operations.
Launch Factory's referral program is now open!
We encourage anyone interested in the recruitment process to register as a Scout. Scouts are eligible to receive up to 100,000 shares of stock in our new company and will be automatically notified when Candidate registration opens in May.
Becoming a Launch Factory Scout is simple! To join, fill out the form below to be enrolled as a Scout for our 2019 Founders Recruitment Process. After enrolling, you will receive an email with your custom Scout link and instructions on how to refer Scouts and candidates for the event.
How / Where did you hear about us?
Do I need to have my own startup idea to participate?
No! Launch Factory is recruiting leaders for a startup that we've vetted and are ready to pursue. You'll have ample opportunity to familiarize yourself with this concept throughout the recruitment process and you will work to develop your own ideas and business plan to support this Launch Factory startup.
Where will the recruitment process be hosted?
Launch Factory is located in San Diego CA and will be hosting local in-person events throughout the recruitment process. However, candidates do not need to live in San Diego to take part in the events. All materials and events will be made available all teams no matter the location!
Do I have to be located in San Diego?
No. Teams and team members do not need to live in San Diego to take part in the process. All materials and events will be made available all teams no matter the location! Launch Factory will provide a travel stipend to any teams based outside Southern California that are chosen to attend the in-person Finals event.
Selected Founders will, however, be expected to relocate to the San Diego area after the recruitment process is completed.
Does it cost money to enter?
No it does not. The Launch Factory Recruitment Process is free to enter.
If I am in work/school full time will I still be able to participate?
Yes! The launch Factory Recruitment Process is designed to be flexible for any schedule. Each week, teams will be tasked with completing certain business objectives. These tasks can be completed on your schedule. However, the selected founders do need to be able to start work full-time within a month of the competition's conclusion so we'll only consider candidates near to graduation.
Can I refer someone to the recruitment process?
Yes! Soon we will have a contact section where you can refer individuals for the Launch Factory Recruitment Process. Scouts referring candidates in this manner will be eligible for equity compensation in the new startup should they refer a candidate from the winning team.
Can I register alone or do I have to have a teamate?
Yes, you can register alone. There will be several ways for individual team members to find partners before the recruitment process begins. Each team will need two members to take part in the event.
How much time will be required from candidates each week?
This process will push you and your teammate to deliver well-developed work products in a very short period of time. While the weekly time commitment will vary from person to person, we expect it to be fairly significant for successful teams.
Scouts are eligible to receive up to 100k shares in our new company and will be automatically notified when Candidate registration opens.

NHL Capsules
DETROIT (AP) - Henrik Zetterberg scored his second goal of the game with 10:07 remaining, and the Detroit Red Wings snapped the Washington Capitals' nine-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory over Wednesday night.
With the game tied at 2 and Detroit on a power play, Zetterberg flipped the puck on net from a severe angle to goalie Michal Neuvirth's left. Neuvirth appeared to have his near post covered, but the puck went past his glove and into the net. Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson scored for Washington, which missed a chance to move past Philadelphia into first place in the Eastern Conference.
Valtteri Filppula added a goal for Detroit, and Brian Rafalski, who hadn't played since Feb. 24 because of a back injury, had three assists.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Defenseman Dion Phaneuf had two power-play goals and added an assist, and rookie James Reimer made 36 saves in Toronto's victory over Carolina.
Toronto is 10th in the Eastern Conference, two points behind ninth-place Carolina and four back of eighth-place Buffalo for the final playoff spot.
Phaneuf broke a tie with 9:09 left in the second period, then helped set up Tyler Bozak's goal 12 seconds later. Coming off a 6-2 home loss to Tampa Bay on Monday night, Toronto is 5-0-2 in its last seven road games.
Chad LaRose scored for Carolina. The Hurricanes are 1-4-1 their last six games.


As a recent article in the THE illustrated, there is a new educational trend in British universities: 'liberal arts style' courses that emulate a common mode in the US. The clue is in 'style': as with many imported models, the UK versions select bits and pieces and come up with courses that range from 'faux' (merely combining a variety of humanities subjects) to bespoke (using the name but constructing a fairly inflexible course of study: single-honours in fact).
The customary UK model of higher education is predicated on depth over breadth: it's highly specialised and offers disciplinary concentration, continuing the contracting of choice that begins when children move from GCSE to A-levels. This early specialism and the linear and progressive model of single and dual honours create graduates with a strong understanding of a very straitened syllabus; moreover, it forces students whose interests cross the arts and the sciences to choose one or the other. Should higher education be in the business of narrowing learning horizons?
True liberal arts study specifically enjoins the bridging of this gap; it's fully informed by multiple disciplines and privileges breadth, while allowing for in-depth study of a major subject, sometimes complemented by a minor as well. In the US, this can work because full disciplinary specialisation happens at postgraduate level, for those who desire to really get to grips with their subject-based knowledge. Liberal Arts undergraduates are allowed the freedom of choice within certain parameters that ensure discipline coverage and create a humanities/social science/science nexus.
Introducing this mode of study into UK higher education, therefore, requires some major adjustments to our traditional modes, which is probably why there are so many types at the moment. And given the disruptive nature, why should we do it at all? Single and dual honours are well-beloved, and many academics notoriously don't like change, with a conservative approach to teaching and learning that belies the adventurous creativity characterising most research. We raise concerns about rigour, coverage, workload. We worry about pre-requisites and preparedness. And, importantly, we wonder what, exactly, this mixed mode of study is aiming for; and what is interdisciplinarity, anyway?
While I don't believe that university course content should be led by the not always fully informed opinions of 'employers', I am sure that graduates who can think flexibly and creatively, apply concepts outside their usual contexts, and work across barriers imposed by knowledge silos, are eminently 'employable'. And I know that there are many students with a hunger for gaining knowledge, who want to keep their horizons broad, who are dismayed and disheartened by the strictures of single and dual honours.
At the University of Sheffield we've created the Combined Honours Triple degree, which offers students the chance to creatively combine three subjects through guided module choice. Now with its first intake of very highly-qualified students, we've seen a tripling of applications for next year, and the current students are models of initiative, independence, and talent. It's humanities-based at the moment, and it's teaching us how we might think through what we mean by interdisciplinary teaching and learning. It's forcing us to figure out ways to enable access to subjects that traditionally want to see a subject-specific A-level. We're confronting some interesting attitudes about discipline hierarchies and course ownership. The crucial underlying principle of student-led choice has thrown up some challenges in logistical terms as well as academic support. The proof will be the students themselves, their achievements in negotiating (with support) a structure built for a different model.
So, is 'liberal arts' the same as 'interdisciplinarity'? Our degree is emphatically not liberal arts (yet): although the aim is to create opportunities for study in the sciences and other disciplines, this will require careful thought and discussion, particularly for lab-based subjects and those with accreditation requirements. Indeed, one question the sector is not yet grappling with, but should, is whether multi-subject study will be possible within accredited disciplines. The desirability of trying this out has struck some educators in the US; a recent Chronicle of Higher Education article specifically sought to make common cause between Humanities and Engineering.
Still, this doesn't address the question. And I would say no, liberal arts and interdisciplinarity are not the same. The former combines subjects; it's multidisciplinary. The latter requires disciplinary knowledge to be gained first and then delved into. At Sheffield, we're addressing this by offering an interdisciplinary dissertation module as a capstone to the creative subject combination followed by students on the Triple degree, but this will be open to other students as well, those who feel ready to cross the boundaries their single or dual honours study has imposed. Interdisciplinary study requires the preparation offered by (multi)disciplinary learning.
Truly interdisciplinary teaching and learning is a challenge and the sector is still learning what it means, finding its way through a bewildering array of formats. Sheffield's is only one of them. But it's a necessary evolution. Our students need a form of education as complex and fluid as the world they'll find themselves in.


We're hopefully just five days away from the official unveiling of the long-awaited "iWatch" at a special media event on Tuesday, Sept. 9.
But that's not stopping Jon Fawcett at Fuse Chicken from coming up with this interesting new concept featuring a round design and what looks to be an integrated Touch ID sensor.
The center of the device is reserved for notifications.
For the complete gallery, visit Fawcett's blog post on Fuse Chicken's site.
While I do think the overall design looks nice, I don't think the actual "iWatch" will look anything close to this design. More than likely, it will feature some type of square or rectangular shape. Would you purchase something like this?
The trickle of rumors about the wearable device picked up steam yesterday. Multiple reports said that Apple will offer the device in two different sizes and that it will feature a flexible display protected by a sapphire crystal cover. It will also be Apple's first device to offer wireless charging.
With an integrated NFC chip, the device will reportedly be a big part of Apple's rumored mobile payment platform.
The entire event, which kicks off at 10 a.m. PDT, can be seen on a live stream from Apple's site. We will also be there covering all the latest news.

Totally embarrassing performance. First time ever my grandson wanted to leave early. Totally out-played and clueless to react to their passing game. We got lucky it was only 4!!! What the hell would have happened if they'd have had another striker alongside MG?
I appreciate we're criticized for daring to say that DF is out of his depth............but he is.
That was painful to watch, and to listen to. Does Frannt know anything about football, from minute one he was banging on about having a centre forward nn the field, has he not seen our centre forward this season, which has been as much use as a chocolate teapot. Playing Mumba from the start turned out to be a bad decision. I feel sorry for Tomlinson, who has done nothing wrong in his one and a half games thus far. He's a fullback, not a Dembele clone, the lad is not a defender, if you want to play him he should perhaps replace Burrows who has been underwhelming in the last few games. Admittedly he looked better in the second half when played as a wingback.seemed to be rather a lot of self harm wrist slashing going n across on the other forum. Especially about he goalkeeper, who the first goal aside was probably our second best (or least bad player) aside from Knight.
Indeed, looking for positives, we came out of it only conceding four
Sad to say my tickets for West Brom arrived today
It didn't take long for an astute and good manager to work out how to play against Fergies magical diamond system.
Outplayed outfought for virtually 90mins.
Embarrassing to put it mildly, but nevermind, I'm sure the Chairman will convince us all on his next Podcast that we are still in a false position and that certain players haven't come to the party yet.
All I saw today were players who were simply out of their depth at this level and have been for much of the season.
We are trying to play big boys football with little boys and it ain't working.
Forget 40 million for a new ground . Spend it on quality, experienced, championship players.
Unless the Chairman, Manager and Director of football all wake up and smell the coffee, then I predict we will finish bottom of this league with less than 30 points and back in League1 with the rest of the have beens!.....Fact!!!!!

"You are what you eat," isn't exactly a new idea, but how we get food has certainly changed over the years. Now that online food ordering is here to stay, what does your order history say about you?
Hey, we get it. You like to be fresh. Maybe you're looking to stay fit, or you could just like to keep it light around lunchtime so you can let loose for dinner. Either way, if it's salads that fill up your queue, you've got a bright personality, but aren't afraid to get a little messy!
You show loyalty to the king of breads. You like a strong foundation to your meal, but aren't afraid to mix it up a bit. From sesame to rainbow, from cream cheese to eggs and bacon, there's really no stopping your imagination. We bet you go from "plain" to "everything" without missing a beat.
The ultimate power lunch. The most sensational dinner. You're refined, suave, sophisticated, but not without losing that everyman edge. Sushi became popular in the US during the 80s, and the 80s are having a bit of a comeback these days. Why not celebrate with your favorite roll that's as complex, but comfortable, as you are?
Respect. Every pizza is a personal pizza if you make it so. You don't need to tell us who you are, you already know.

I've been to every Linux World Expo at Olympia in London and each year it gets a little bit more depressing. Earlier events have had such marvels as a giant ice penguin (provided by SGI) that had vodka flowing though its veins and Jon Maddog Hall pointing out how insane it is to refuse entrance to students to a Linux focused event (watching the management squirm was great fun) this year we had… well nothing of any real note.
A slow stroll through the conference hall took about twenty minutes and was more than enough to take in all the sights, from Novells horde of booth girls and desperate looking sales people to the marauding Java people wearing monitors on their backs and looking very confused the day was pretty much a washout. The only highlight of the day was the .Org section which was actually quite busy considering the low visitor turnout on the 6th of October; the day I attended.
After spending an hour speaking to some of the .Org stall workers who work their arses off for a couple of days as volunteers it was time to honour the second tradition of the expo and head down the pub. Here's to a better show next year.

Ben & Jerry's Doesn't Want to End the Conflict, It Wants to End the Jewish State
By James Sinkinson/ FLAME via JNS.org | August 05, 2021
The company's boycott is not about practical solutions to a thorny problem. Rather, it's an attempt to virtue-signal and appease extremists who do not want to see a State of Israel.
Ben & Jerry's board president Anuradha Mittal published a statement asserting that she isn't an antisemite. Mittal's disingenuous statement was emblematic of the entire Ben & Jerry's boycott scandal.
The outrage surrounding the ice cream manufacturer's decision not to renew a contract with an Israeli distributor at the end of 2022—because it sells its products in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank)—demands a close look at the empty virtue-signaling at the heart of such anti-Israel gestures.
"We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry's ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)," the company said in a statement on July 19. While the statement did say "the company would stay in Israel under a different arrangement," if Mittal has anything to with it—and she does—it might not.
According to NGO Monitor, Mittal has a discernible history of anti-Israel bias. In June 2021 she signed a petition to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken "demanding that he halt weapons sales to Israel," and in 2019, she tweeted: "Calling for Congress not to have allegiances to foreign countries (Israel) is not anti-Semitic" (tagging the pro-BDS group CODEPINK). She is also the founder and executive director of the Oakland Institute, which has partnered in the past with radical NGOs that support BDS.
These affiliations underscore that the opposition of Ben & Jerry's to the so-called "occupation" signifies thinly veiled hate for the world's one Jewish state. Indeed, it has long been clear that the BDS movement is antisemitic and has no interest in a peaceful solution to the conflict that leads the State of Israel intact. "We oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine," BDS co-founder and leader Omar Barghouti regularly admits.
Even prominent Israel critic and academic pariah Norman Finkelstein declared his opposition to BDS in 2012. "I loathe the disingenuousness—they don't want Israel [to exist]," Finkelstein said. "It's a cult."
The truth is, those involved in boycotts of Israel and the BDS movement, in particular, do not speak of their ostensible desired outcomes: how to resolve the conflict or specific peaceful resolutions. They don't so much support a Palestinian state as much as they demand the end of the only Jewish state, which is the stated goal of the Palestinian leadership.
Mittal and other critics of Israel also seem not to care about the welfare of individual Palestinians. Many will suffer as a result of this boycott, especially employees at a West Bank factory in Mishor Adumim, who will lose their premium salaries, many times what they could receive working in Palestinian factories.
So, what does Ben & Jerry's really want?
In fact, we don't know. The Ben & Jerry's decision is less about what it said than what it left out. Their statement did not advocate any path to peace or support reconciliation or an end to the conflict. It did not suggest any remedy to the current stalemate.
We do know that Ben & Jerry's is specifically boycotting Israeli residents of the disputed territories (though it will have no way to serve its two million Palestinian residents). Apparently, it supports the idea that Jews should be banned from living in these territories—thus the boycott is inherently racist and antisemitic.
The boycott also ignores the Oslo Accords, signed by the Palestinian Authority and witnessed by the international community. The Accords allow for Israeli Jews to continue living in Area C—where 400,000 of them are—and to continue normal life and conduct business. Under the Accords, services and goods for settlements' businesses in the West Bank are allowed. Does Ben & Jerry's oppose this agreement?
The authors of the Ben & Jerry's decision could have demanded (but did not) that Israel relinquish territory over the Green Line—the armistice line from the War of Independence in 1948-9. But, of course, they know that Israel has offered numerous times—in 1937,1947, 2000, 2001 and 2008—to turn over most of what they call "Occupied Palestinian Territories" to the Palestinians.
So, what do they want?
The wise Ben & Jerry's directors might also know that from every territory Israel has relinquished in the name of peace, it has been met with violence, as in the Sinai, southern Lebanon, Gaza and almost all of Palestinian-populated parts of Judea and Samaria. Is this what they favor?
In short, this boycott is not about practical solutions to a thorny problem. Rather, it's an attempt to virtue-signal and appease extremists who do not want to see a State of Israel or care about the security of Israeli citizens. The Ben & Jerry's action only makes sense if you ignore a complex reality—if you irresponsibly disregard extremely dangerous consequences.
Such censures of Israel need to be called out for what they are. They are not progressive, liberal statements of intent or noble aspirations. They are rarely, if ever, about the "settlements" or the "occupation." They are not intended to help decision-makers in the region find a peaceful solution to the conflict.
On the other hand, they do embolden extremists in the region, like the terror-incentivizing Palestinian Authority—which lauded the Ben & Jerry's decision—to say nothing of the Hamas group, which openly declares its intentions to destroy Israel.
It's easy to postulate a political position from thousands of miles away about a conflict that few outsiders intimately understand. In fact, Israel has attempted to make peace with Palestinians for decades—as well as protect its citizens from those who vow to kill them and destroy their state. Israel has consistently attempted to lure Palestinians to peace talks—to no avail.
Meanwhile, so far, Ben & Jerry's directors bear little price for their boycott. It is time they are called to account. It is antisemitic, anti-Israel, anti-Palestinian and anti-peace. Until the boycott ends, no American supporter of the Jewish people, no American supporter of the Jewish state, should purchase Ben & Jerry's ice cream … or any of the 1,000-plus consumer products of its behemoth owner, Unilever.

Hugely moving and tragic memoir, EVERYTHING'S FINE about mothers, sons, & brothers…one with severe mental illness, a horrific tragedy, healing, more–Vince Granata and I chat about this and more
By Leslie Lindsay An extraordinarily moving memoir about a family ripped from balance at the hands of a severally mentally ill individual, EVERYTHING IS FINE (Atria, April 2021) is about grief, mental illness, mothers and sons, and so much more. ~WRITERS INTERVIEWING WRITERS |ALWAYS WITH A BOOK~ Memoir Monday: Mental Health Awareness Month An extraordinarily moving memoir about a family ripped from balance at the hands of a severally mentally ill individual, EVERYTHING IS FINE (Atria, April 2021) is about grief, mental illness, mothers and sons, and so much more. I finished this book last night and I am so moved and yet, simultaneously disturbed. It's one of the most gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, authentic memoirs I've read in a long time. This family will stay with me. Vince Granata recalls standing in front of his suburban home, chalk in hand, as he greeted his mother and father and three siblings (triplets) home from the hospital. The family had just doubled in size. He was ecstatic; finally: playmates, siblings. But twenty-three years later, one of those siblings–Tim–will develop severe mental illness–likely schizophrenia. He's plagued by paranoid delusions, …

IF THE HOUSE…an arresting collection of poetry that begs the questions of obsessions, motifs, memories, flaws, and so much more–MOLLY SPENCER ON this plus how poems 'talk' to each other
By Leslie Lindsay IF THE HOUSE…a lyrical and emotive collection of poetry about the most basic structures of creation and recreation. ~WRITERS INTERVIEWING WRITERS|ALWAYS WITH A BOOK~ POETRY FRIDAY Well-known spaces of homes are examined with lush and precise prose in IF THE HOUSE by Molly Spencer (University of Wisconsin Press, 2019), and being a 'house person,' I found myself completely absorbed. Here, we navigate the experiences of land and home, person and family, the cycles of nature, as well as ordinary and extravagant things–a kitchen table, a memory, the sky. It's complex, it's metaphorical, it's all things good poetry should be. And like all good poetry, it is best savored and read aloud, and revisited–like an old homestead–often. Molly Spencer's poetry has appeared in various well-known and recognized literary journals. She is a poetry editor for Rumpus and this collection won the 2019 Brittingham Prize in Poetry. Please join me in welcoming the lovely and talented Molly Spencer back to the author interview series. Leslie Lindsay: Molly, welcome back. I so loved IF THE HOUSE and HINGE (see …
Gorgeously stark, yet lush poetry collection about homes, architecture, design, & more by Middlebury College President Laurie Patton
By Leslie Lindsay A deeply moving and stirring collection of poems about houses and homes inspired by Gaston Bachelard's 1958 classic, THE POETICS OF SPACE. Houses, homes, dwellings…they all have a mystical experience for me. They may be composed of timber and hardware, plaster and bricks and glass, but they hold truths deeper and darker still. A house may live only once, but it encompasses many lives. HOUSE CROSSING (Station Hill, May 2018) is a "simple poetry of houses," as author Laurie Patton says. Ultimately, she was inspired by the "geometry of intimacy" in urbane, basic architecture–a corner, the end of a hallway, a window, the attic. While the 32 short poems in the collection are a study in brevity, they pack such a soft-focused punch, going deep and leaving the reader with a disquieting contemplation. Titles are simple, but oh how they had me swooning: eaves, cupola, well, demolition, grave. I don't mean to be glib when I say these poems are haunting. Patton's work dwells in the white space, the what-might-have-been. One reads the words and imagines a scene, but …

– Bunk beds are wonderful for your kids room. They're space-efficient and fun for the kids but selecting the right type, design and dimensions isn't quite as easy as it might seem. A bunk bed needs to be secure, lasting and the children have to like it, the past being the hardest of all sometimes. How do you opt for the bunk bed that is perfect for your children? This advice might help. One of the most effective bedroom thoughts will be bunk beds. Traditionally straightforward and plain, bunk beds have commonly been used for stacking beds although little else.
Because they usually not especially user friendly, bunk beds are often foisted upon young children who do not get much say in the subject. Bunk beds surely are not regarded as residence décor. Modern bunk beds can do more than simply heap up mattresses. Capable of functionality and style, bunk beds are not just for kids anymore. They are beginning to earn a place in appealing interior layout for young adults who should make the best use of spaces.
Whether you are picking bunk beds for kids or oldsters, here are seven interior design ideas which will help you take bunk beds outside of the fundamentals in style and usability. Layout your bunk beds using the area's style and décor in your mind. You can either paint the bunk bed structure to combine with your room's color scheme, or you can set natural wood bunk beds with wood doors and wood floors. Bunk beds that are painted are modern; natural timber is going to have a more conventional look.
One of the reasons bunk beds are to get more than ones today is they can incorporate the privacy older kids or young adults desire. Adding a rod and curtains creates a few seclusion that is welcome. In the modest cubes made by bunk beds, it's hard to do much of anything but sleep — unless you've got a light. Adding a small, flexible reading lamp to the wall from the head of each bed will include to the bunk bed set-up.
In ordinary bunk beds, sleepers have no place to set an alarm clock, a phone, or even a glass of plain water. This has a tendency to make bunk beds unpractical for any but the tiniest children. You can incorporate a platform that could be used as a nightstand, if, nevertheless, you extend the amount of the bunk mattress. Extend it either way, as long as you are extending your bunk mattress, and shelves can be added by you at either end to get toys or publications. You can even have drawers under the decrease bed for additional storage.
The most typical bunk bed is designed for two equal-sized beds. You don't need to be limited. It is possible to create a bunk bed set with a lower bed that is larger so that an older child will be more comfortable. Really ingenious bunk beds are for more than simply sleeping. You are able to buy. However, there is a more complicated design a bunk bed construction that transforms every level into a couch daily. Since it makes for a wonderful hang-out place, this could work for young adults or teens.
Certainly, bunk beds also have risen up in the interior design world. Now more than just something packaged into a child's area, bunk beds can add flair and fun to bedroom décor. If you'd like to see what bunk beds may do for a bedroom you're designing, you can try them out first in virtual area to determine what they would look like in fact utilizing House Tipster's Virtual Rooms, a free 3D room styling organizer.

Breathlessness and conditions of restrictive lung disease (RLD), such as pulmonary fibrosis, may be a late complication of type 2 diabetes. These are the key findings of a joint study undertaken by researchers from the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) and the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) under the leadership of the University Hospital Heidelberg.
The research team comprised 110 patients with long-term type 2 diabetes, 29 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, 68 patients with pre-diabetes and 48 non-diabetic patients (controls). The study participants were examined for metabolic control, diabetes-related complications, breathlessness, and lung function. It was found that people with type 2 diabetes are significantly more likely to suffer from breathlessness and RLD than the control group. RLD was found in 27% of patients with long-term type 2 diabetes, in 20% of patients with newly diagnosed diabetes, and in 9% of patients with pre-diabetes. Patients with pronounced symptoms and RLD also showed CT-morphologically a fibrosating interstitial lung disease. There were also differences in the morphological analysis of the lung tissue of subjects with and without diabetes. Patients with diabetes had increased pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, the study showed that RLD is associated with albuminuria. In the disease, urinary albumin levels are elevated. This may be an indication that lung disease and kidney disease may be associated with diabetic kidney disease (nephropathy).

Other health workers and speakers will join us for a panel debate, and we'll have a keynote speech on the past, present and future of the NHS (3.30pm - 4pm, followed by Q&A and debate till 5pm).
This is accompanied by a weekend-long exhibition at the Line Gallery in John St - "How Come We Didn't Know" - featuring Keep Our NHS Public member Marion Macalpine's series of photographs exploring the hidden privatisation of our NHS.
We're also screening Michael Moore's documentary comparing health systems internationally and the health insurance industry, SiCKO, 7-9pm on Saturday night and further entertainment comes in the form of HEARTBEAT! A night of comedy, video and music at the SVA, John St. 8pm - late on Friday night, and a 'Doctors and Nurses' closing party with the Vine Club 9.30pm - late on Saturday night.

Sometimes I am super jealous of young people today. They have so many amazing and unique opportunities available to them! I was recently at #ISTE2015 and attended a session about developing the innovator's mindset. One of the things the presenter said that struck me was that the technology we have today is the worst it will ever be. Take a minute to let that sink in!
In that vein, one of the coolest things I have seen Camp Google. Students can "go to camp" with Google. According to their site, "Google Camp is a free camp for kids, full of fun science activities and adventures led by experts." There are several different themes and areas to explore, including Ocean, Space, and Nature. Google partnered with the National Parks Service, National Geographic, and Khan Academy to bring innovative and interactive activities for students. What an awesome way to spark creativity and curiosity in young people.
Camp Google is designed for students ages 7-10 and students don't need a Google account to participate. Students can participate throughout the summer; there aren't set times or deadlines. Many of the activities ask students to use household items, but the camp itself is completely free! I love the idea of students learning and then creating something new. Providing students options to be active and connected to their learning is so powerful.


Schools of Equality / Understanding Boys, Understanding Girls.
Having spoken at various Boys conferences, Jeff Perera shares some stories of sharing the White Ribbon with boys from Grades Four to Eight. Jeff also shares what happened when he spoke with hundreds of young girls on how created ideas of being a man impacts girls as well as boys.
Many public schools across Ontario have been holding Girls conferences for years now, creating important spaces for young girls to explore issues such as self-esteem and body image. The White Ribbon Campaign approached the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario with the model of creating Boys Conferences. White Ribbon ETFO conferences are now spaces where they can explore discussions around anti-violence, enthusiastic consent and healthy relationships. These are always great opportunities to connect with young men and boys. One experience really stood out for me, however, and it is an experience I hope to have again and again.
My enthusiastic yes was met in the middle by her widening smile.
