Media of France

Compared to other European nations, the French are not avid newspaper readers, citing only 164 adults out of every 1000 as newspaper readers.
The French press was healthiest in the aftermath of World War II. A year after the end of the war, 28 papers had a combined circulation of about six million. However, seven years later that figure had been nearly halved.
This decline was principally due to the greater popularity of the broadcast media and the subsequent diversion of advertising revenues. Recently, newly produced free papers have further weakened the established press. Still, 80 daily papers remain, and there are a wide range of weeklies, many of which now feature internet sites.
Regional papers have remained relatively unaffected by the decline, with provincial newspapers commanding a higher degree of reader loyalty. For example, Ouest-France, sells almost twice as many copies as any of the national dailies.

Silver prices up and strong: Want to buy your next house with silver?

Front and center today, we have gold and silver piling on to their strong performance versus the dollar yesterday. Gold tipped the scales at over $1,400 yesterday afternoon, and hasn’t looked back, adding another $9 this morning! I think that Friday’s sell-off was profit-taking by the hedge funds, etc. and what we are seeing now is more of the “run to wealth providers” as more and more analysts believe that the FOMC is just kidding itself if it thinks $600 billion of quantitative easing (QE) is going to be enough!
In fact, Laurence Meyer, former Fed Head, and vice chairman of Macroeconomic Advisors had this to say about the latest announcement by the Fed Heads of their QE2…. “This is not a very powerful program. The more reluctant they are to expand the balance sheet, the less stimulus they will be putting into the economy and the weaker the recovery will continue to be.” Before the FOMC announcement last week, Meyer had calculated what would happen if the FOMC pumped $1.5 trillion into the economy via QE2… He estimated that if that happened, 2/10ths of a percentage point would come off of the unemployment rate, and economic growth would increase by 3/10ths of a percentage point.

Cathie Black, the future chancellor of the New York City public school system, was just 12 and a "skinny, awkward preteen with big dreams" on the south side of Chicago when she decided she "wanted to be different."

Obesity often follows the young into adulthood

People who were obese between the ages of 12 and 21 are seven times more likely than normal-weight or overweight peers to develop severe obesity by the time they reach their late 20s to early 30s, a study finds.
November 09, 2010|By Melissa Healy, Los Angeles Times
Some adolescent memories — prom dates, fashion choices, Facebook postings — tend to fade and, mercifully, disappear in the transition to adulthood. But a study released Tuesday finds that one increasingly common source of teen angst — obesity — has a cruel knack for following adolescents into their adult years, then tightening its grip.


Obesity

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. Body mass index (BMI), a measurement which compares weight and height, defines people as overweight (pre-obese) if their BMI is between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2, and obese when it is greater than 30 kg/m2.
Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive dietary calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass.


Kristallnacht & Nazi Attacks Remembered Worldwide

Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, is being recognized across the world. Kristallnacht, also known as Reichskristallnacht, Pogromnacht, and Novemberpogrome, was a pogrom or series of attacks against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and parts of Austria on November 9–10, 1938.


Kristallnacht


Jewish homes were ransacked, as were shops, towns and villages, as SA stormtroopers and civilians destroyed buildings with sledgehammers, leaving the streets covered in pieces of smashed windows—the origin of the name "Night of Broken Glass." Ninety-one Jews were killed, and 30,000 Jewish men—a quarter of all Jewish men in Germany—were taken to concentration camps,
