12 x the best new coffee bars in amsterdam of 2017
The Maker Café: This new coffee spot in Amsterdam is not only ideal for the flex workers, they also serve great coffee here. The Maker Café can be found in the Foodhallen in the West of Amsterdam. Besides good coffee they also serve some tasty sweets, like the sticky toffee. Yum! Hannie Dankbaarpassage 39, Amsterdam – themakerstore.nl
Miss Louisa Coffee & Beignets: In the Kimpton De Witt Hotel you can find coffee hotspot Miss Louisa Coffee & Beignets. Here you can get the best coffee and beignets to go. A good spot to know whenever you're in the centre of Amsterdam and you're in a hurry. You can also stop by before you go to work, as they open as early as 6.30AM.
Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 5, Amsterdam – website
Bistro Zebra: In the East of Amsterdam on the Valentijnkade has Bistro Zebra opened its doors in 2017. Not only is it a coffee place, but also a very good restaurant! During the day you can come here for a cup of coffee that has been brewed by locally roasted beans. And not only the coffee beans are local, the menu of Bistro Zebra is full of dishes prepared with local products. Yummy!
Valentijnkade 34, Amsterdam – bistrozebra.com
Pluk: YES, our favourite spot in the Nine Streets has a second location. They already have a location in the Reestraat, but since 2017 Pluk is also in the Berenstraat. And coincidence may be that that's just around the corner of our office ;-) Besides a coffee spot this hotspot is also perfect for lunch or breakfast. And of course I can never let the opportunity slide to buy some of the great accessories. Berenstraat 19, Amsterdam – plukamsterdam.nl
House of Watt: In the fall of 2017 the House of Watt has opened its doors. This is not only a lovely coffee spot in Amsterdam, but also a great place for flex workers, as it's situated in a former hotel lobby. Besides that it's perfect for some quiet working is also just a great place for coffee with friends in the area of the Amstelstation, or to get a (affordable) lunch.
James Wattstraat 73, Amsterdam – houseofwatt.nl
The Corner Bakery: This spot in the South of Amsterdam has been a favourite for quite a while, but they've opened a second location in 2017 at the World Fashion Center. And what's extra fun (and delicious ;-) ): they sell the pies from Life of Pie here! They look too good to let them slip… A good cup of coffee is also possible in this lunch and coffee spot in Amsterdam, but for the real sweet tooths the freak shake is a must.
Koningin Wilhelminaplein 60, Amsterdam – Facebook page
Ox and Bucks: This coffee place on the Zuidas in Amsterdam is perfect for a good cup of coffee in the morning, but also for a (business) lunch meeting. Also if you're not working on the Zuidas this is a great spot in Amsterdam to go to, just like these other hotspots on the Zuidas in Amsterdam. Strawinskylaan 1, Amsterdam – oxxbucks.com
Lunchroom Eerlijk: Honest coffee and more great food at Lunchroom Eerlijk. This new coffee place in Amsterdam on the Weesperstraat is open for breakfast and lunch. During the weekend they also serve high tea, nice! As the name might suggest they work with honest and pure products here and it shows in the menu. Fun detail: the chicken that lay the eggs can be followed through a webcam. Weesperstraat 101a, Amsterdam – eerlijkamsterdam.nl
Hoed & Krelis: Hoed & Krelis has opened its restaurant in 2017 on the corner of the Ferdinand Bolstraat in Amsterdam. In the morning and during the day it's a very nice spot if you're looking for a coffee place where you can also have a delicious lunch prepared with sustainable, local products. The interior is also welcoming and cozy, and of course you can go shopping after your coffee on the Albert Cuyp or the Gerard Doustraat!
Ferdinand Bolstraat 58, Amsterdam – Facebook page
Park Café Restaurant: Coffee with a view at Park Café Restaurant at Hotel Arena. The place has been rebuilt – and it's quite the transformation! From early in the morning you can get breakfast here or just a good cup of coffee, to a great dinner in the evening. The interior is really light and the view through the large windows is stunning, but when the weather's nice you can have an even better seat on the terrace with a view of the park.
's-Gravezandestraat 55, Amsterdam – parkcafe-restaurant.nl
Selma's: Cute coffee place in Amsterdam that mostly will make the sweet tooths really happy. Because here you can order all sorts of sweets with your coffee: cinnamon buns, coffee buns and the chocolate balls are too good to miss out on. It's a 'Nordic bakery' so all the products are Scandinavian goods. Also the savory dishes originate from Scandinavia, like the burger of moose that you can order for lunch.
Jan van Galenstraat 70h, Amsterdam – Facebook page
Lavinia Good Food: This hotspot at the Amstelveenseweg is so much more than just a coffee spot in Amsterdam, because the lunch here is delicious. Something for everyone: the vegans among us also have lots of options at Lavinia Good Food. Big plus is that they open as early as 7.30AM so perfect for a good wake up call with a great cup of coffee.

text: A new initiative was started at Bristol Airport to try and work smarter across the whole organisation, using IT solutions. With eight board meetings per year they were still printing or emailing documents and board packs. They initially switched to a Cloud-based system, which took away the need to email the documents but didn't provide the functionality needed. That is when Convene came into the picture to provide a secure board meeting portal and app.

The inaugural SEA CHANGE Arts Festival on the Rosneath Peninsula over the weekend of 8-10th June was a huge success. From the fully-booked opening night reception at Cove Park, where Jo Royle of "Plastiki" fame gave an inspirational talk, to the 120 folk who turned up on Sunday for the Poetry and Sea Shanties concert at Kilcreggan Pier, every event was enthusiastically supported.
One of the highlights was the 150 entries to the Noah's Ark building competition from the children at Kilcreggan and Rosneath Primary Schools. Jo Royle selected the winners who were Ryan Barbour, Stephen Reid, and Ian David from Kilcreggan PS, and Jake Hannigan, Reece Arnold, Connor Wilkes, Cameron Stokes, and Callum Byles from Rosneath PS.
On Sunday morning over 60 of the boats were launched opposite Cove Burgh Hall. Few survived this experience and were regathered at the shore, although some had to be captured by the Royal Navy "guard rib" and Cove Sailing Club recorded that one stalwart entry crossed the Cove finish line at 11.32am.
Saturday's fancy dress parade from Kilcreggan Pier to Cove Sailing Club was held in one of the weekend's few sunshine windows and was much enjoyed by walkers and watchers alike. The Kilcreggan Youth Cafe won the group award, Eleanor Ironside wore the best costume, Annie Ferguson waved the best umbrella, Rohan Dunbar was best pirate, and Marianne McNeilage was an outstanding best mermaid.
The Poetry and Sea Shanty concert by Kilcreggan pier drew a large crowd. It was organised by Stephen Adam whose Peninsula Choir formed the core of the performances around which the accordion playing of Andrew Mortimer, and the atmospheric poetry readings by actors Veronica Ferguson, David Mullen, and Joyce Falconer provided a funny and moving decoration.
The Rosneath Peninsula West Community Development Trust thanks all those who contributed to the Festival, from the sponsors, Argyll & Bute Council, and Babcocks to the Mermaid Tea Ladies, from the Fire Brigade and Police to the pipers and parade marshals, from Cove Film Club to the Royal Navy, and from all the performers to all those who attended the various events.

Cheshire West and Chester Council's libraries have a wide range of events planned for this year's Summer Reading Challenge. The Roald Dahl inspired "Big Friendly Read", which officially starts on 16 July.
Events planned to support the Challenge include animal handling events likes the 'Zoolab Animal Handling Show', the 'Get me out of here — Creepy Crawly Show' and 'Animals Take Over', as well as talks by Chester Zoo Safari Rangers.
The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to read six books during the long summer holiday. There is a different theme each year. Children can read any library books they like — fact books, joke books, picture books, e-books or even audio download books.
There will be rewards including stickers and "rainbow glasses" when they visit the library after reading a couple of titles. There's a certificate and medal for everyone who reads at least six books.
Children who take part in the Summer Reading Challenge return to school for the new school year as more fluent, confident, happy readers. Children's reading can 'dip' during the long summer break.
The Summer Reading Challenge is open to all school children and is designed for all reading abilities.
Just visit your local branch from Saturday 16 July onwards in order to take part. It's all free and if you're not currently a library member you can join for free either online or at any Cheshire West Library.
To find out about events at a library near you go to: http://www.yourwestcheshire.co.uk/pages/3885/1/Summer_Reading_Challenge_2016.html

Type your audio recordings with ease and as a team. Oral translation projects must take extra steps to ensure quality and consistency because primary tools that we use to ensure quality—Paratext and FLEx—are focused on text, not audio. SIL Transcriber makes it clear and simple to get audio translation drafts typed, checked, and into Paratext.
You've got a lot of typing to do. SIL Transcriber helps you listen and type more efficiently, with audio controls optimized for transcription—not music! Control speed so you don't get behind, or skip back to catch a word you missed. Keyboard shortcuts and—even better—a foot pedal, let you make one pass through the audio file without ever taking your hands off the keyboard.
SIL Transcriber's simple design makes it possible to include native speakers with beginner computer skills. Everyone has a role to play: administrators manage audio files as tasks. transcribers type them, and reviewers check for quality. By working as a team, you can include more people and make gradual progress on big undertakings.
Once you've typed and reviewed a passage, send it directly to Paratext. SIL Transcriber keeps track of book, chapter, and verse ranges, and it links directly to a Paratext project on your computer.
Need to send it somewhere else? Copy a transcription to your clipboard and paste it into an app of your choice.
Do I need a foot pedal?
No, but you can use one to enhance your performance. Audio controls like start, stop, skip (forward/back), and speed can be controlled with keyboard shortcuts or buttons in the app. Start, stop, and skip can also be controlled with a USB or bluetooth foot pedal.
A pedal is the industry standard tool for controlling audio in transcription. It may take some time to get used to, but using your foot to control audio lets you keep your fingers on alphabetical keys so that you don't have to keep resetting them every time you control the audio.
Language Support
Transcriptions can be typed in any language, as long as you have a font and keyboard for that language installed.
Interface available in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hausa, Russian, Swahili, and Tamil. Request or offer to translate additional languages on the community forum.
System requirements
Requires Windows 10+ or Linux.
To use SIL Transcriber on macOS, you need to run it within a virtual machine with Windows or Linux. Not available for Android or iOS.

Web Summit is often a assured staff outing for us, whether or not it is in Dublin or Lisbon. This yr, what with our big, fancy Wareable Tech Awards final week, we have needed to stay content material with maintaining a tally of the convention – recognized for its excessive profile audio system and fashionable future gazing tendencies – from afar. First world issues, we all know.
Aside from Uber's flying cars and Al Gore's plea for tech to battle local weather change, VR and AR chat dominated the related tech periods in 2017- this is our picks of probably the most newsworthy notes out of Web Summit.
Google's ARCore ambitions
Apple's ARKit platform for iPhones is hogging a whole lot of consideration, what with augmented reality Ikea apps and Take On Me homages, so Google's VP for VR enterprise and operations took the chance to speak up Google's rival ARCore for Android.
Listen: You Wear It Well: Episode 4 – the Wareable Tech Awards edition
Speaking to BuzzFeed's Mat Honan on stage at Web Summit, he stated, "There will be hundreds of millions of phones that will be AR ready." Singh has already hyped that we'll see 100 million AR prepared Android telephones by the top of this yr – his lots of of tens of millions determine refers back to the finish of 2018.
If you'll be able to't afford a Pixel or a Galaxy S8, extra excellent news – Singh stated AR apps will turn into a "core feature" to "most of Android over the next few years."
Zero to VR porn hero
Elsewhere, BaDoink's VR studio director and producer Dinorah Hernandez was talking up next-gen VR porn. Hernandez pointed to extra romantic storylines through which viewers can "be the hero" of a 180-degree scene. Essentially, she means extra speaking. Hernandez additionally famous that additional senses, like odor and style, might improve the general phantasm – one thing we're additionally seeing in gaming and cinematic experiences.
Still, this type of course brings up some disturbing prospects. Reacting to what BaDoink is proposing, Newcastle University's Dr. Madeline Balaam, advised The Independent that VR porn might escalate the drive in the direction of "perfect" intercourse robots and virtual companions that merely do not exist in actual life: "Our research highlighted not only a drive for perfection, but also a crossover between reality and fantasy. Some of our findings highlighted the potential for creating 3D models of real life people, raising questions over what consent means in VR experiences."
WWE could possibly be moving into VR
Paul "Triple H" Levesque, now government VP of expertise, reside occasions and artistic at WWE, was at Web Summit where he said that virtual reality is "custom made" for the Wrestlemania occasion.
"In some ways, it is kind of custom-made for what we do," he stated, "and I think as the technology improves it will get better and better. Everybody wants to be there live and in person and if it's Wrestlemania and you can put a headset on, or whatever that device is at the time, and you can actually put yourself on that front row sitting there experiencing it… that's a whole different point of view."
The WWE has already dipped a toe in with a few WWE 360 videos for Samsung Gear VR. Sounds like he is a fan of VR headsets, and no matter comes next.
Memory hacking implants
Getting a bit Eternal Sunshine on us, neuroscience startup Kernel's CEO Bryan Johnson took to the stage to get us stoked about inserting chips into our brains to switch them.
Johnson's courageous new world consists of attaining good reminiscence – which sounds frankly terrifying – deleting reminiscences, mind to mind communication and increasing our studying capacities to match computer systems. All this is apparently simply 15 to 20 years away so, you understand, center age sounds a hell of quite a bit much less miserable than I used to be anticipating.
He additionally posited a VR-like expertise platform whereby we might fee an expertise e.g. a cowboy within the 1800s then somebody would construct this world for our related implant for us to stay. File this one in freaky however sure, please.
Language studying in VR and AR
Web Summit is a reasonably useful spot for searching down new European startups. Showing off its language studying apps for Google Daydream and now, AR too, was Romanian startup Mondly.
Tapping into the concept we will create reminiscences – and subsequently study – in VR, the cellular app enables you to select virtual environments to work together with characters in 30 languages and Mondly has already confirmed its value with its conversational chatbot app for Facebook. Mondly's advertising group tells us that the blokes at Apple are impressed with the brand new AR app in order that's one thing. We'll be checking it out for ourselves quickly to see if this is extra than simply one other Google Goggles.

He has a long time ahead of him even with a good few seasons under his belt. Not bad for a first try! "Balance-wise, still not there, still we have huge margins of improvement, so I'm going to be patient, wait for next week". But so far it's good. Bottas won three races previous year after moving from Williams to Mercedes while Hamilton won nine and the title. Honda, Honda, and Honda again.
This campaign has been a hard one, though, with the Blues in fifth place and constant speculation surrounding Conte's future at Stamford Bridge. The scheduled Premier League match against Brighton has been postponed, with the Seagulls playing Manchester United in the sixth round of the cup.
Lucas Holer took advantage of uncharacteristic space in the visitors' backline to latch onto an incisive throughball. Freiburg were unable to build on their positive start, though, as Bayern edged ahead in a freaky manner a little over a quarter of the way through after Thomas Muller's cross hit Alexander Schwolow and ended up in the back of the net.
That's what's so cool about it is I'm not playing for my own passions or exclusively for my own passions. LSU connection: Receiver D.J. Chark of Louisiana State is a fast, 6-foot-3 receiver who could be attractive to the Bills if he lasts to the middle of the second round.
Astori, a graduate of AC Milan's youth academy, made 289 appearances in the Italian top-flight, representing Cagliari , AS Roma and Fiorentina . Fiorentina's match with Udinese was called off along with the remaining Serie A fixtures as a mark of respect to Astori.
Having faced Sri Lanka in 18 global matches this season (6Tests, 8 ODIs and 4 T20 Internationals) on home and away basis, another face-off can only add to the players as well as viewers' fatigue due to lack of context. Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal are the two spin bowling options at the floodlit Premadasa, where the wicket gets slower as the night progresses.
While that's commonplace these days, Cech's fronted straight up and admitted that his two mistakes directly cost Arsenal the game. He was first beaten to the ball by Shane Duffy, before Lewis Dunk fired in the opener. It leaves Arsenal nine points behind fifth-placed Chelsea having played a game more and 13 points off Tottenham in fourth. And with their Premier League campaign having fallen apart, the season is now riding on success in Europe to get them back in the Champions League.
The Manchester City superstar has been phenomenal for the Premier League leaders who are enjoying a dominant run in the English top flight. This year's race for the Premier League's Player of the Year is a hot one as a series of incredible individual performances have helped carry teams to great heights.
Usually, we snooze through the look-alike tuxedos on the red carpet . The tuxedo was designed by the creative director of Moschino , Jeremy Scott . In a word, people were thirsty. "Somewhere in heaven, Oscar Wilde, Harvey Milk, James Baldwin, and Michelangelo just shared a margarita", tweeted Chris Rovzar, of Bloomberg.
It was his 13th goal since January, and he looks certain to start against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday. Angers pulled clear of the relegation zone with a 3-0 home win over Guingamp, but Metz remain firmly rooted to the bottom after conceding a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Toulouse.
The Hokies get a first-round bye and will play the victor of No. 15 seed Pittsburgh and No. 10 seed Notre Dame, Wednesday night at 7 PM. Syracuse has yet to win an ACC Tournament game since joining the league in the 2013-14 season. Game 11 victor, 9 p.m. GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Jalen Hudson scored 22 points and Chris Chiozza broke the school's all-time assist record as Florida ended Kentucky's four-game winning streak.
Smith left a San Francisco resident before police arrived and tended to the victim, who suffered non-life threatening injuries. Smith has a long history of off-field incidents that have derailed his National Football League career, and his life.
Wenger blamed his side's miserable first-half display on a loss of confidence off the back of a dispiriting week, in which they lost the EFL Cup final to City before a league defeat to the leaders by the same scoreline. I am sure that he is upset with former players talking about Arsenal and Arsene, the way the club is managing the players, the frustration with former players and how unhappy he is with what they say in public.
The film is about six minutes long and features hand-drawn animation. Animator Glen Keane accepted the award alongside Bryant. "You don't have to sit in a tub of ice", Keane told Bryant backstage. "Thank you, Academy, for this unbelievable honour". You are my inspiration. "When you have mentors like that in your life, everything tends to work itself out", he said.
Against Stoke [City's next Premier League game on 12 March], we are going to try and play like we play all season. And City did break one record in the match with 902 passes against Chelsea - more than any team has managed in a single Premier League game since the stat began being recorded.
Coach James Beattie, who worked with Monk in all three of his former managerial roles, also joins the backroom staff at St Andrew's. Monk and Clotet will arrive at a Birmingham side definitely feeling the Blues and now sat in 22nd place in the league, that last of the relegation places.
At the post-match interview, Manchester City's goalscorer, Bernardo Silva said it was not easy to create chances against Chelsea because they deployed 11 players behind the ball. 'I tried to wait because the substitution was with Hazard, ' explained Conte. They have a great mentality and we must give the best compliment for Manchester City .
There's little hope of any club catching Manchester City at this point considering their dominance through 28 matches. Sane was then the architect of City's next opportunity as he picked the ball up wide on the left and cut inside, bursting into the Chelsea penalty area at speed before being crowded out, with Bernardo Silva collecting the loose ball and curling a left-footed strike over the bar.
Granted, Ball showed nearly no skill offensively, missing layups and wide open 3-pointers. San Antonio are slowly dropping down the pecking order in the Western Conference standings. As of Saturday night's game, they are the only team in the National Basketball Association not allowing 100+ points a game (99.4). Manu Ginobili (12), Dejounte Murray (12) and Davis Bertans (11) rounded out San Antonio's double-figure scoring.
Chelsea have now lost four of their last five Premier League outings, with their other defeats coming against Bournemouth, Watford and Manchester United. And that outburst came just days after Arsene Wenger's dismal side was in his bad books for their insipid display against all-conquering Man City .
Loyola's most famous team, which won the 1963 NCAA championship, was represented in St. Louis as Jerry Harkness, the star of that team, handed the Ramblers the MVC Tournament trophy. Loyola answered with its second 7-0 run of the half, pushing ahead to a nine-point, 36-27 halftime advantage. "They said, 'You come here, we'll develop you and have moments like this.' They had a vision for me, and I made a decision to go there and obviously it's paid off".
Markram was 38 not out at lunch but South Africa had only two other specialist batsmen left. Rabada then had Mitchell Marsh caught by Hashim Amla at first slip, a 100th test catch for the latter who joins Jacques Kallis (200) and Graeme Smith (169) as only the third South African to reach that mark.
Liverpool have begun negotiations with the 26-year-old who has scored 22 goals in all competitions and formed a devastating partnership with Mohamed Salah . "You need players who are good on the ball and have Roberto's football intelligence". There is no doubt we want to do that. Now we play with whoever plays and they are really good and sometimes it makes sense to pass the ball from one to the other and create a gap, run into the gap and use the chance.
It appears that we have our concrete answer when it comes to whether or not Conor McGregor will be keeping his UFC lightweight championship. According to Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times , UFC President Dana White said Friday that the victor will take home the UFC lightweight belt, which belongs to Conor McGregor.
Arsenal travel to the Amex Stadium to visit in-form Brighton as the Gunners try to avoid a tenth defeat of the Premier League season and get back to winning ways. On top of that, it's a top side, top quality, so I knew before the game that it could be a hard game, but you always hope that things go for you. Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta has added of a man who admits it is his "dream" to one day take charge of the Gunners: "The same requirements we were appreciating in Pep ...
Reince Priebus , Trump's former chief of staff, said on the same program that he agreed with most of what Christie said. "Mr. Kushner's role in the campaign and transition was to be a point person for completely appropriate contacts from foreign officials and he did not mix his or his former company's business in those contacts and any claim otherwise is false", the spokesman said.

Trump proposes new network to compete with CNN: 'Something has to be done'
President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon proposed the creation of a new, United States-funded television network to compete with CNN globally.
"While CNN doesn't do great in the United States based on ratings, outside of the U.S. they have very little competition," Trump tweeted. "Throughout the world, CNN has a powerful voice portraying the United States in an unfair.... and false way. Something has to be done, including the possibility of the United States starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT!"
The president has had a rocky relationship with the network and recently revoked the hard press pass of CNN Chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta. A federal judge later ruled in favor of the network after CNN filed a federal lawsuit. Acosta has since regained access to the White House.
Acosta's press pass was suspended earlier this month after he engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with President Trump during a press conference. Acosta refused to pass the microphone to a female White House aide and there was brief contact between the two. Later in the day, the White House revoked Acosta's credential.
CNN filed the subsequent suit against the Trump administration, demanding the White House restore the star reporter's press pass, a move White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders labeled "more grandstanding from CNN."

Fnac Darty strengthens its offering in the natural and well-being product sector Exclusive negotiations to acquire Nature & Découvertes
Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 16 Apr 2019 11:45:24 America/New_York
Ivry, 16 April 2019
Fnac Darty strengthens its offering in the natural and well-being product sector
Exclusive negotiations to acquire Nature & Découvertes
Fnac Darty announced that it is in the advanced stages of exclusive negotiations to acquire Nature & Découvertes, a leading omnichannel retailer of products in the natural and well-being sector.
Formed in 1990, Nature & Découvertes offers a unique range of products, thanks in particular to its network of 97 stores in Europe and a website with over 17 million visitors a year. The company makes the customer experience its core strategic priority, using the expertise of its sales associates to deliver a high-quality range of services.
This acquisition would enable Fnac Darty to capitalize on the strong brand recognition of Nature & Découvertes as well as its DNA, which complements the Group's brands, with the aim of strengthening its product offering around the segments of well-being and committed natural product consumption, themes that are increasingly important to consumers.
The acquisition would open up a number of areas for collaboration between Fnac Darty and Nature & Découvertes. The Group aims to use this to enhance the power of the brand through dedicated corners in the Fnac stores in France. The brand's accelerated growth would also be made possible by Fnac Darty's strong local presence, particularly in France and in the Iberian Peninsula. Finally, Nature & Découvertes would benefit from the Group's digital expertise.
Enrique Martinez, Chief Executive Officer of Fnac Darty, declared: "This acquisition will allow Fnac Darty to continue to diversify its product offering by integrating a strong brand whose commitment to the values of curiosity, discovery and well-being will strengthen and enhance our strategic positioning. Nature & Découvertes is indeed an inspiring company based on the visionary idea of François Lemarchand and his family of an environmentally responsible model supported by an innovative Foundation working to protect biodiversity and education about nature. Its commitment to ethical, greener consumption converges with Fnac Darty's commitment to promote an educated choice to customers as well as a more circular and responsible economy."
François Lemarchand, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Nature & Découvertes, stated: "As a result of this merger with Fnac Darty, Nature & Découvertes will be able to step up its growth with the opening of new stores or "shop in shops" and strengthen its digital platform. Fnac Darty's expertise at an international level will be very valuable and will allow us to reach more quickly a community of customers who are looking for something natural and sophisticated. "
Fnac Darty's objective is to complete the transaction at the end of the first half of 2019.

@matthias.lisin @michaudg Guess I misunderstood, looked to me like many people were recommending it. Yup, I got flatpak for now, was my first idea when this happened. Hoping they fix this soon though.
@michaudg @mmgoilf Downgrading is NOT recommended. Until the bug it fixed, you can run RocketChat (or other electron apps) using flatpak.

edit: replied 1 min later.
@mmgoilf As described in this issue, you can install this Rocket.Chat Flatpak to solve the glibc problem.
Also, an Electron patch seems on the way: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/13988
@michaudg What do I do about the fact that half of my applications depend on glibc_2.28 and downgrading basically breaks the system? A lot of people are saying to downgrade but I don't know why, is there a way to make it work?
@mmgoilf As described by matthias.lisin, the last version of glibc is causing this segfault. For now, you have to downgrade to glibc-2.27-3 if you still want to use Rocket.Chat client. You can use downgrade from AUR do to that.
I am getting a segfault too. Is there a way to fix this?
@xteixeira glibc is causing this. it works with glibc 2.27-3
@michaudg Tried it. Even removed the Rocket.Chat+ folder in ~/.config
Still segfaulting. Is your system fully updated?
@xteixeira Fresh installed on my side and no segfault. Try to uninstall and reinstall.

AP Investigation: WHO Ebola effort faltered in African city – Washington Post
KENEMA, Sierra Leone — Highly contagious corpses rotted in the rain amid a shortage of body bags. Nurses turned to plastic packaging as protective gear ran out. Even some of the chlorine provided to Sierra Leone's Kenema Government Hospital last year was suspect — in one case more than a year out of date and effectively worthless.
The 2014 Ebola epidemic pitted a lethal virus against barely-there health systems, and it was always going to be deadly. But an Associated Press investigation has found that a string of avoidable errors badly undermined the work of international aid workers.
The World Health Organization, charged with leading the fight against global outbreaks, already has been criticized over its management of its clumsy efforts to stop Ebola. Earlier this year, an AP investigation found the U.N. health agency delayed declaring an international emergency — similar to an SOS signal — on political and economic grounds.
Newly obtained emails, documents and interviews show that WHO and other responders failed to organize a strong response even after the signal was issued.
Experts say the fumbling ultimately cost lives across West Africa.
"We would like to think that WHO comes in as the cavalry, but they were bungling the response as they came in to try to rescue people," said Dr. Irwin Redlener, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University. He described the WHO problems uncovered by AP as "horrifying."
To date, Ebola has killed more than 11,000 people and officials estimate the epidemic won't be stopped before the end of the year.
Kenema, a diamond town in Sierra Leone whose potholed roads turn to red sludge in the rainy season, was a microcosm of the Ebola-fighting efforts across West Africa as the disease spiraled out of control.
The situation at the city's hospital was horrific. Blood-drenched patients lay in agony in understaffed wards and WHO staffers made repeated requests for support that went unanswered. Other aid workers declined to work there, citing the dangerous conditions.
As Ebola cases climbed in July 2014, WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan identified Kenema as one of two priority areas. "Transportation, PPE (personal protective equipment) and other equipment must (be) provided," she wrote on July 24 in an email to her senior staff.
But staffers regularly received expired or questionable chlorine, incidents that spooked already rattled staff, according to interviews and emails seen by AP. Nurse Donnell Tholley said workers sometimes resorted to donning ill-fitting gloves for their hands and using stray plastic packaging on their feet instead of the tall protective rubber boots they needed. More than 40 health workers died and others abandoned the hospital out of fear.
Joseph Fair, a U.S. disease expert advising the Sierra Leonean government in the capital, Freetown, described WHO as "paralyzed," recalling interminable conference calls debating things like the color of body bags — even as supplies ran out.
When the Red Cross offered to build an Ebola treatment center to alleviate the pressure on the hospital, it was held up because no one in Sierra Leone's government or WHO could tell them where to build it. Days passed without a decision as frustration built on all sides.
"We are at risk of very poor perception by the public when we send in IFRC (Red Cross) then block their ability to care for patients," WHO's Ian Norton wrote in a note to his colleagues.
Mark Honigsbaum, a medical historian at Queen Mary University of London who is writing an oral history of the outbreak, said Kenema was one of two key places in Sierra Leone where the spread of Ebola might have been averted. Honigsbaum said the AP's findings showed the "extreme confusion and lack of coordination in the critical months when they could have arrested the epidemic."
By the time the Red Cross clinic was finally built, the peak of the outbreak in Kenema had passed. Twenty health workers had been infected in the interim. Many patients who succumbed to the virus were buried in a cemetery behind the clinic, their graves marked with numbers instead of names.
Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO's top Ebola official, said it was common for Ebola treatment centers to be caught up in political wrangling. "Undoubtedly in some cases there was bureaucracy," he said.
But he argued it was wrong to lay the blame at WHO's door. "These were government decisions at the end of the day," he said.
Complaints about WHO leadership focused in part on Jacob Mufunda, the agency's top representative in Sierra Leone.
Requests to fix critical problems like the hospital's shaky generator regularly went unfulfilled by Mufunda's office, leaving staffers to cover thousands of dollars' worth of expenses out of their own pockets, according to two people there at the time. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk to the media.
An email from Chan which AP obtained corroborates allegations of tight-fistedness, not just in Kenema but across West Africa. Chan told Mufunda and other senior officials that only a tiny fraction of needed cash was being released and that the problem had festered for four months.
"I expect all our colleagues … to facilitate experts and staff to do their field work and not to post barriers because business as usual does not work during crisis," she wrote.
Mufunda, who was reassigned to run WHO's office in Mozambique shortly thereafter, didn't return messages seeking comment.
The problems that hamstrung the Ebola response have prompted soul-searching at WHO and across the world's public health community.
Two months ago, a WHO-commissioned panel criticized the organization's lack of leadership, but didn't mention the logistical problems uncovered by AP. All of the top leaders at WHO during the Ebola outbreak remain, except for its Africa director, who retired after serving out his term.
That has left outsiders dismayed.
"These official inquiries they just talk in general terms about leadership," said Honigsbaum.
Fair said the entire world had to share the blame.
"The world simply did not respond to the disaster in West Africa last summer," he said. "It truly was like fighting a forest fire with a spray bottle."

text: Hey everyone, I just got my first Android phone a week or so ago- an Optimus V. I rooted it with Ginger Break a few days ago, and I wanted to take the next step and overclock it today, so that I can play games and stream video more quickly. I've been using this guide: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/277500-optimus-v-gaming-overclock.html Unfortunately, I get stuck at part 2, "Flash Nandroid Recovery". More specifically, My phone reboots itself, but there is no "flash recovery mode" or an option to reboot. Just a black screen. When it reboots, it reboots, shows the LG splash, then goes into a black screen. I waited about a minute, pressed a few buttons to see if that would do something, then the phone rebooted, and everything booted normally. I tried again, same thing happened. Tried it again, but this time with the phone unplugged from the computer. My screen filled up with Out Of Memory errors. I ate some ice cream and cried myself to sleep. (not really) I'm doing everything the guide says except for rooting, because I'm already rooted. The files are on the root of my SD card. I have superuser installed. I installed a terminal emulator. Am I doing something wrong? Is the black screen normal, but I'm just not waiting long enough? Am I extremely impatient? Thanks a bunch, and I hope I can get helped. Screenshots can be provided upon request.

Archbishop Charles Scicluna, a Maltese Archbishop has been appointed by Pope Francis as adjunct secretary of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Scicluna was appointed adjunct secretary to the congregation. The Maltese archbishop was already a member of the congregation and president of a special college within it that decided certain legal matters in canonical processes. Scicluna, 59, will also remain Malta's archbishop. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is responsible for promoting and safeguarding the doctrine on faith and morals in the Catholic Church. Scicluna became the Vatican's investigator on sex abuse and last summer was appointed by the Pope to investigate allegations of abuse in Chile. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is currently led by the prefect Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria, a 74-year-old Jesuit. However, according to Canon Law, Ladaria would have to offer his resignation next year, upon reaching 75. The current secretary of the congregation is 53-year-old Giacomo Morandi.

August 3, 2015 - Over the last time you were at a dealership searching for a car, have you feel lost and confused by all the information? You are not alone. However, with a little preparation, it does not have to be this type of bad experience. The following tips will make it much better to buy a car.
Do some research prior to visiting a dealership. You can find online vehicle comparison websites as well as consumer magazines to assist you discover a car that suits your needs. You will discover out about features available and general pricing. It can save you yourself a considerable amount of time that would otherwise be spent wandering across the dealership.
If you're looking for a brand new car, speak to your bank regarding your loan options prior to going shopping. Doing this helps ensure your security. Ordinarily a dealership can present you with a better interest than a bank.
Know in the event it just isn't going to work out. You can even in almost all walks of life. If you don't approve of the offer, get outta there. Should you ever feel at all uncomfortable, wake up and go out. If you do not use whatever vehicles or green mountain variety pack keurig k you would like, try a different dealership. There are many other options.
Schedule a tech drive, as well as a test drive. When the car you need has lots of technological components, you should take the time to understand them prior to making a purchase. Plan a tech drive to find out the features that exist to you.
For that advanced and knowledgeable, a custom car may be the way to go. Some freebies here and there may prevent you from walking away. Otherwise, you can take your business elsewhere. You could have custom if you persevere.
Usually do not secure a lease through a dealership, because they are quite expensive. This is the main income source for dealerships. Try to aim for financing a car, which can reduce the blow on your expenses.
It is great to know a car's value before talking with a dealer, so check the Blue Book listing to ensure you know what it's worth. If you're buying a car from your private owner you must know they are going to try ot produce a lot form it. You're going to get a better deal if you are properly educated about car shopping.
Examine car prices online, in nearby cities as well as your city. Sometimes, nearby cities will provide you with a significant discount. It is possible to figure out which cities hold the best prices should you look online to see the price trends.
You ought not buy a car or truck if you do not have any proof the vehicle may be properly maintained. While an automobile might appear to stay perfect order, there are hidden dangers which come from poor maintenance and botched repairs. When the proof just isn't there, the owners probably did not perform routine maintenance.
Don't purchase a used car unless there is proof it has been properly maintained. Even when a vehicle looks good, you've got no way of knowing when the owner changed the oil at the due times. Each time a seller refuses to give you this important information, you can think that the vehicle has not been cared for properly.
Get your financing create before you visit a dealership. Go in to some credit union or bank to speak in person. This will often offer you a lower rate of interest, and when you get to the dealership, you will know the amount you are able to spend.
Don't allow a salesperson talk you into investing in a vehicle that you are unable to afford. Many individuals get hoodwinked into purchasing a sports car because salespeople the person looks good inside it. This dealer is working for a commission, which means that your money is his or her money. Stick with what you can afford.
Prior to buying a car, make sure you test drive it. Many problems don't appear until you turn a certain way or reach a particular speed. Test it out in every situation possible which means you truly feel confident in your purchase.
A reduced payment does not necessarily mean a lower sales price. Getting depressed by a lower payment is easy to complete. Some salespeople will take advantage of this fact during the negotiation period and provide lower monthly rates at the cost of a higher price. Read the contract you're given and don't sign it unless you understand it in full.
For your advanced and knowledgeable, a custom car may be the way to go. Some dealers will even throw in these add-ons free of charge. Otherwise, you are able to go somewhere else. When you are on the hunt for any fully customized vehicle, you need to retain treatments for the process.
Next time you go car shopping, are you going to feel well informed? That should definitely be, given that you're armed with the recommendation found above. You don't have to be scared to purchase a car now. You are aware of what you must do to get the best deal. co-blogger: Rheba Z. Magar

Between Strasbourg and Nancy you can find many canals. Once build for industrial transportation, now they are mainly used by tourists. Or abandoned and reclaimed by nature, like this one.
For a second I thought I had cycled in the wrong direction:
During my stay in Nancy, my bike made a new friend:
From Nancy via Metz I came through Schengen. This small town in the corner of France, Germany and Luxembourg is famous for a good reason since 1985.
A proper summer needs at least two shiny things: Sun in the sky and new sprockets on the bike.
Flat tire #1, just outside Ljubljana. It did not stop me from reaching Croatia the same day.
The coast of Croatia features green-gray mountains and can be surprisingly hilly. Also, two times I stopped to let a turtle cross the street.
Novigrad near Zadar is literally a dead-end town. Featuring a fancy camping site full of Dutch people, a pizzeria and great sunsets.
In Kastela, just before the much bigger and more known city of Split, I found accommodation of a special kind: A fellow cyclist had gone on a big tour more than a year ago, left the door open and posted the address with some instructions on warmshowers.org. By now his (not) empty flat has probably hosted more than a hundred people. There still was a stove and electricity, and while the tap water had been turned off, the beach with public taps and showers is just a two minute walk away.
When I finally found the right door in the narrow backstreet I was greeted by many bicycles and their owners. Two of them were from South-Korea, had taken a plane to Paris and were now cycling home. There also was an intruder who was traveling with his VW bus - of course he was ridiculed and made jealous the whole evening.
Here is the meeting in the living room. Note the guitar! Actually two of the other cyclists were carrying one - pure craziness for a minimalist packer like me.
Appropriately, it was this perfect cyclists home where I finished and left behind the only dead tree book I was carrying with me: Silverland by Dervla Murphy, recommended and given to me by Hans in Nancy. Picking a quote from this treasure is hard, so here is a quote of a quote, originally from Interesting Time by Eric Hobsbawm:
"If physical mobility is an essential condition of freedom, the bicycle has probably been the greatest single device for achieving what Marx called the full realization of the possibility of being human invented since Gutenberg, and the only one without obvious drawbacks. Since cyclists travel at the speed of human reactions and are not insulated behind plate glass from nature's light, air, sounds and smells there was no better way in the 1930s - before the explosion of motor traffic - to explore a middle-sized country."
It was also time for the second flat tire this day, but who cares about that when you have literature and interesting people around?
Looking at Dubrovnik from a safe distance, after pushing my bike through masses of tourists:
At the Bay of Kotor I took the ferry to shortcut a few kilometers.
Some contrasts in Montenegro are big: People without legs begging in the city streets and a 5-star hotel occupying a whole island are just a few kilometers away from each other.
Letting the hotel be what it is, I went on to the mountains near Stari Bar where this perfect camping site is hiding. How could it get any better?
Add some cats and make the breakfast included!
Given the condition of the other streets, the highway was one of the safest places to cycle in Albania. Also, you can buy corn there.
The troll of the day award went to the idiot who marked a camping site on OpenStreetMap in the middle of nowhere which turned out to be a graveyard. It's fixed now. This was the only day I went to a hotel.
Know your bridges.
Follow the coast if you want less hills, they say. Albania has places where this method fails epically. Here's a view of the beach from above a 1000 meters:
Luxury problem of the day: Having to stop to relax your hands and cool down the breaking pads and rims.
A day at sea: From Sarandë I took the ferry to Corfu to cycle along its beautiful east coast.
I reached the much smaller harbor in Lefkimmi 15 minutes before the ferry to Igoumenitsa left, hooray!
North of Preveza people know how to build a camping site.
Greece was full of good surprises: There is a huge tunnel near Preveza which is forbidden for bicycles. The Internet tells you to just cycle to the traffic control booths and someone will take you through, but this only seems to work if you come from the south. My solution was a friendly French couple with a camping van including a big bed for my bike.
Later the same day I met this elegant velotraum bike (with a Rohloff hub!) and its owner who likes to carry a lot as you can see. We went on together for two days, which made the heat and my third flat tire much more enjoyable.
Camping comes with its surprises.
Greek infrastructure small — these miniature cathedrals are everywhere — and big: The bridge connecting the North of Greece with the Peloponnese, seen from the ferry.
After crossing the Corinth Canal I came to Athens. No pictures because I was mainly busy surviving the traffic. Instead, enjoy the beach at Nea Makri which was the easternmost point of my journey.
Here I visited a friend researching ants in the nearby national park, together with a few students and this lovely cat called Dobby.
Nea Makri and the national park on the left:
After going back to Patras by train and bike, I took a ferry to Ancona.
Goodbye Greece, with a sunset in Igoumenitsa.
Italy greeted me with bad weather, so I took a train to Bologna. Then going north, I came through Mantova, the Italian Capital of Culture.
Besides great cycling paths, Bolzano also has a young and cute university which hosted ESSLLI 2016 where I stayed for both weeks.
In the weekend between the courses I cyclimbed the Seiser Alm, where the Giro d'Italia had just been.
This was my daily commute for the second week. And when I got lost in the evening, sunny mountains showed me the way home.
Big parts of the following route I knew already from 2013 when a friend and me cycled the Via Claudia. This did not make the Lago di Resia / Reschensee less impressive.
Welcome to Austria, we like signs.
To skip one of the passes in Switzerland, I took a train through the 20km tunnel between Sagliains and Selfranga. This train which just goes back and forth is meant to transport cars and "all passengers must stay inside their vehicle"?!
My "small motorbike" (according to the invoice) and me got to ride at the very front of the train where it also has a storage space and 8 normal seats. When taking this picture the conductor was getting nervous. Maybe I even delayed a Swiss train?
This is the Rhine, really. I checked my map twice, because it looks so small.
Through fog and rain I reached Zürich, then Gränichen and then Basel, visiting friends in each place.
Same cat as two years ago.
Thanks to everyone hosting and helping me!
