Frish Brandt Appointed President of Fraenkel Gallery
We are pleased to announce Frish Brandt has been named President of Fraenkel Gallery. This new appointment comes on the 30th anniversary of Brandt joining Fraenkel Gallery and marks her significant contributions to the gallery's growth over her tenure.
As President, Brandt will continue to oversee gallery operations and client relationships, while playing a key role in setting the gallery's artistic direction with founder Jeffrey Fraenkel. "Frish is a beloved figure in the Bay Area art world and beyond," notes Fraenkel, "and her vision, influence, and special touch is felt in every aspect of what we do."
In recent years, she has worked especially closely with more recent additions to the gallery's stable of artists, including Richard Learoyd, Katy Grannan, and Idris Khan, in addition to her long history with gallery artists such as Hiroshi Sugimoto, Robert Adams, Adam Fuss and Nicholas Nixon, as well as The Estate of Ralph Eugene Meatyard.
Brandt came to Fraenkel Gallery in 1985, at the time of Chuck Close's first exhibition of large-scale photographs on the West Coast. "When Fraenkel Gallery first opened, photographs were not widely regarded as art," said Brandt. "It has been an incredible trajectory to see photography become central to any serious consideration of contemporary and modern art."
She has been pivotal in the organization of countless exhibitions over the past 30 years, including Open Secrets: Seventy Pictures on Paper 1815 to the Present (1997), Not Exactly Photographs (2003), anniversary shows such as The Plot Thickens (2014), and the eclectic series Several Exceptionally Good Recently Acquired Pictures.
Congratulations, Frish!

Alec Soth's Photographs Mine the Margins of the US
Brian Karl, examines Alec Soth's most recent work in this online review. Karl examines Soth's most recent show, Songbook, and marks interesting transitions in Soth's career as photographer and documentarian. Songbook is on view until April 4th.
Not only do we sense natural and social pressures, we also see evidence of those failed schemes and hopes played out in architectural structures, as in the neat walkways and stairways of untenanted motels and their carefully measured out, yet near-empty parking lots. –Brian Karl
From the Hyperallergic online posting by Brian Karl on 25 March 2015.

Alec Soth interview at Fraenkel Gallery
Alec Soth sat down with us to chat about his current exhibition Songbook, on view through 4 April 2015.
A lot of the language surrounding Songbook is about community and American culture…and that stuff's in there, but actually what I wanted to do with it is talk to something more primal, more internal, and more about the human condition than the American condition. It's the great problem of consciousness. –Alec Soth

Interview: Alec Soth's Tragicomic American Songbook
Eugene Reznik of American Photo interviews Alec Soth about his latest work, Songbook, his connection with music, and the idea of narrative in photography.
My whole career in photography has been this sort of battle with text, and with story, and narrative…The Songbook, it sort of liberated me of that, and the pictures can just exist on their own. –Alec Soth
From the American Photo online posting by Eugene Reznik on 26 January 2015.

Garry Winogrand at Jeu de Paume
In this short video, curators at the Jeu de Paume discuss the work of the late photographer, Garry Winogrand (1928-1984), known for his images of American life. Winogrand's images are currently on view at the Jeu de Paume (14 October 2014 – 8 February 2015), and is the first retrospective in twenty-five years. Divided into three sections, the exhibition allows viewers an opportunity to see images that were previously unprinted, and some that have never been exhibited before.
When I'm photographing, I don't see a picture, I see faces. –Garry Winogrand
From the Jeu de Paume / magazine online posting from 12 November 2014.

The Plot Thickens: 35th Anniversary Show Opens
No claim is attempted here about the state of the art-only something about the state of the gallery. –Jeffrey Fraenkel
Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to announce The Plot Thickens, an exhibition accompanied by a 250-page catalogue celebrating the gallery's 35th anniversary. The Plot Thickens features 100 photographs selected with forethought over the past five years. By juxtaposing works from the masters of photography with prints from the anonymous and unknown, The Plot Thickens offers an unorthodox insight into the medium spanning three centuries. The majority of the images featured in The Plot Thickens are being exhibited for the first time.
Fraenkel Gallery opened in San Francisco in September 1979 with an exhibition of recently discovered albumen prints by the nineteenth-century photographer Carleton Watkins. Since then, the gallery has presented more than 300 exhibitions exploring photography and its connections to the other arts, and published 55 books on subjects ranging from Edward Hopper's influence on photography to the sculptor David Smith's multi-decade involvement with photographs, as well as the complete library of Diane Arbus and nine monographs by Lee Friedlander.

Video Interview with Nicholas Nixon
Nicholas Nixon sat down with us to talk about his series "The Brown Sisters," which celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year. The series, which began in 1974, depicts Nixon's wife, Bebe, and her three sisters.
We're all aware of time passing and us not being aware of it while it's passing…so seeing the sisters, for a lot of people, just gives them the sort of reliable marker that a year has passed. –Nicholas Nixon

Robert Adams's healing images of "A Road Through Shore Pine"
Kimberly Chun sat down with Robert Adams to discuss his recent body of work, "A Road Through Shore Pine," on view at the gallery through 15 November 2014.
One can go back along the spit, back to town and to one's duties, and the pictures record an attempt to find peace. It's a walk we all make sooner or later, and the actual act of photographing is the most healing thing I can do. –Robert Adams

Robert Adams Photographs and Books
Kenneth Baker of the San Francisco Chronicle reviews our exhibitions Robert Adams: A Road Through Shore Pine and Robert Adams: The Complete Books 1970-2014 on view through 15 November 2014.
His level-eyed approach almost makes us feel like resisting the call of nostalgia, even perhaps of reminiscence, as if revisiting these vistas were an exercise in self-discipline. –Kenneth Baker

Where There's Smoke. John Gossage: Who Do You Love
The two exhibitions on view through August 23, Where There's Smoke and Who Do You Love look at a new materiality, offhanded gestures, and emerging visions from the perspective of four contemporary photographers, and in little seen mixed-media works by John Gossage.
Gallery director Darius Himes raises questions about how works were made and exploratory intentions. 'Is the photographer off-kilter,' he asks, 'or is the subject?' His selections suggest transition, the artists caught in the act of formation. –Glen Helfand
From the Photograph Magazine online posting by Glen Helfand on 29 July 2014.

Delta Air Lines slapped United Airlines in the face earlier this week after they revealed that they would pay passengers $10,000 to give up their seats for a crew member.
Last week, United Airlines came under fire after a video surfaced showing them forcibly removing a paying customer from a plane that they overbooked. The passenger was a doctor that needed to fly home to care for some of his patients.
Conservative Tribune reports:
In an internal memo obtained by The AP, Delta has given the green light for Delta gate agents to offer passengers up to $2,000 to give up seats on an overbooked flight, and supervisors can offer up to a whopping $9,950, Fox News reports. Those figures are up from $800 and $1,350, respectively.
While there have been major travel hiccups in the past several week, the major incident Delta hopes to avoid is the incident in which United Express had airport authorities violently remove a man who had paid for the ticket in which he sat to make room for United employees who needed to operate a flight the next day in Louisville, Kentucky.
Delta Air Lines understands how to treat their customers, unlike United Airlines. You do not kick a paying customer off of a plane that you overbooked. If this happens, you find a different flight for the crew members to fly on, you do not forcibly remove a paying customer.

Thanks G

The relationship between mothers and their daughters is an incredibly strong one. Moms raising girls have the power to shape the next generation of women and those to come by teaching their kids important lessons.
1. That confidence and independence are beautiful.
2. That size doesn't matter, but wasting her time worrying about it does.
3. That brilliance should never be downplayed.
4. That emotions are liberating so she should go ahead and laugh, cry or scream.
5. To always have enough i
money to pay her own way, but to be gracious when someone else treats. And to be generous with what she has.
6. To not make age an excuse for her actions.
7. That "mean girls" are really just insecure.
8. That she has an amazing power to make a difference in life.
9. To actively pursue her dreams especially those that seem unattainable.
10. That the love she will give and receive is limitless.

Not sure what time I actually woke up, but I do know I watched a number of different things on Netflix. Around eleven I head out to meet my mom for lunch. I misunderstood what she had meant and end up sitting in front of La Coasta until almost one. I finish the SMODCAST I had been listening to and switch over to youtube. While I wait I end up listening to the whole Drowning Pool album Sinner. God I missed this music.
Around one my mom arrives and we head in for lunch. Caroline has a new stuffed frog and amusingly her pronunciation of frog comes out fuck. Lunch is great. I haven't has Pollo Funditto in so long.
After lunch we ride downtown for the Azalea Festival. We make a full round of the street fair and I realize why we haven't been since I was in the single digits. There are far to many people and not a whole lot that catches my interest. I do find a great company that makes olde style sodas, so there is that.
We head to my Nana's from there. After a while my mom takes me back to the Green Ranger and I head home to find Sean and Travis in the driveway. They're changing the brakes in Travis' car and Clay is putting up some tile in the kitchen. I turn on some Evan's Blue and reading the back half of the newest Waking Dead trade and the first two issues worth of the first trade of Gotham Academy. I forgot how great of an idea that series really was. I'm going to get in on Next Semester when it starts up.
For dinner we head to Hardee's. I get a big bag. Easy, cheap, filing dinner. We head back to the house to wait for Sean and Travis to come back, but I'm feeling off and end up being in and out of sleep for the rest of the night.

The entire matter including what led up to the confrontation is being reviewed by CPD at this time. The review includes, but is not limited to, reports, interviews, and video."

This time two weeks from now another English football stadium will have emptied and stories for the next decade and beyond will start to be retold. Will Kell Brook be able to pick up from where countryman and Matchroom stablemate Anthony Joshua left off on that astonishing night last month, or will Errol Spence be able to do what Wladimir Klitschko could not and silence hordes of supporters? Like that heavyweight epic for the ages, this is fascinatingly poised but for a multitude of different reasons. While Joshua-Klitschko featured one boxer at the start of his journey and the other near the end, this stars fighters closer to their peaks.
There has always seemed to be something special about Brook, and that's not just because of his 'Special' nickname. He looked out of place on undercards on the way up, as though he was always likely to find a spot higher up the bill. He had it all; talent, quickness, speed, arrogance, swagger and a finishing instinct. He could take people out with one shot – to the head or body – and as he rose in levels his performances tended to improve. He hasn't had many off nights, he just hasn't had many of the right fights, the kind of battles that will linger long in the memory against the type of opponent who will bring out the best that might still be within him. However, it might not be there. Not anymore. The potential could still go untapped. He is getting older. He's fought back from a near death stabbing incident. And, of more immediate concern to the purists, he's shrinking his body back down to 147lbs for the first time since his March 2016 beating of Kevin Bizier having fought in a potentially damaging loss to Gennady Golovkin up at middleweight, which ended in round five with the Kazakh starting to turn the screws.
Many questioned early on in his career whether Brook would fulfil his vast potential. They said he was skilled but not motivated. They said he had power, but might not use it in the right circumstances. They said he could have it all, but he might not have the discipline to make it. Across the Atlantic, in the gyms and on undercards, a quiet buzz could be heard around the name Errol Spence. He often impressed in short outings, then came the stories of marking up Floyd Mayweather and supposedly decking Adrien Broner in sparring. His reputation was continuously enhanced. Word got out. The bubble grew bigger.
Neither have the wins that either fulfil or validate their potential. Brook's career high is defeating Shown Porter to win the IBF belt he puts on the line in a fortnight, Spence's best victory was stopping Chris Algieri. At 27, Spence has big nights ahead while there's a feeling the big fights that have been rumoured for 30-year-old Brook, be it against Manny Pacquiao or UK rival Amir Khan, should have happened by now. Yes, the Khan fight for British bragging rights may always be there, but it doesn't mean either will be at the best by then. We will see. The biggest fight of the Sheffield man's tenure as the IBF's welterweight champion wasn't at welterweight, it was that audacious middleweight challenge of Golovkin. Some felt sure it would result in the Sheffield man's career being cut short. It was violent while it lasted, and Brook was certainly more competitive than many feared, but it wasn't enough. It was not ever going to be. Not against Golovkin. Not at 160lbs. The surgeon who helped rebuild his battered face afterwards said he could have been one punch from going blind. This isn't at middleweight, but Brook was struggling at 147lbs long before that. Should he have vacated the title and looked for challenges at 154lbs? It's almost without doubt he will move there should he lose to Spence – and we will probably then be told that he is no longer a welterweight. If he wins, however, he will be expected to stew his body back down to 147lbs, to look towards messrs Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia and even Manny Pacquiao. All would be big fights, all arguably bigger than Spence, who is having his first real marquee contest.
Worth noting, also, is that this marks Brook's first outing following a loss. He reckons coming back from defeat will bring the best out in him, unlike former Sheffield idol Naseem Hamed, who after losing to Marco Antonio Barrera allowed his career to fizzle out with one drab bout before walking away. Brook-Spence is unlikely to be dull. The weight is a serious question mark, though. Remember how drained Chad Dawson was after dropping to super-middle to face Andre Ward? He was never the same again, neither was Roy Jones, who after defeating John Ruiz at heavyweight, couldn't rekindle any of his earlier career magic when the poundage had to be dropped again. The same could be said for Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Oscar De La Hoya, all who suffered having dropped back down in weight at some point in their careers.
Spence has started every pro fight he's had as a heavy favourite, while expectations of Brook have always been high – with the exception of the GGG fight, when no one expected him to put up the game argument he presented in the early rounds. Spence is not Golovkin, but Brook is also not allowed to weight 160lbs. It's a cauldron of ambition, potential, desire, promise and both have points to prove. Both will want to move on to bigger things, even though this is plenty big enough in its' own right. This time in two weeks, when the trash collectors clear the debris left by around 25,000 fans, one man will be dreaming about what might still be, the other will have his own pieces to pick up.

My Pregnancy Update
Hello everyone! How are you? I'm doing great! Today I'm off to the farmers' market to buy some lovely "props" for my home - tomorrow and Friday we are doing shoots here for my next book which releases on my birthday next year, March 21, so I have to get the photos in asap so they make the book. I've been too ill up until now to style and shoot anything, so I'm glad my head is above water enough so I can work. This is such an important book to me - it's going to be really unique and full of color, I just know that you will love it.
Leslie Shewring and I have been working non-stop since May - so we're about ready to wrap it up now and move on to other projects - so we're in the twilight stages. We just can't wait to see it in the upcoming months printed and ready to go out into the world. Next year will be an exciting time for me with a new baby arriving in January, a book in March and then a book launch party in London in May with some book tours and stuff to follow. I really want to bring the baby to the launch party in London - though it will be so tiny, I think it would be wonderful to share something so special with someone so special - and to have the baby meet everyone and be in one of my favorite cities - bliss! I have so many dear friends in London, I'd love to share the joy and also to meet my uncle who lives nearby. So we'll see. It's only a 50 minute flight and depending on the baby's sleep schedule, we'll know by May whether or not a plane ride is feasible and good for the health of the little one. If not, no problem - I'll leave little cutie with daddy and escape for a day or two on my own. We'll just have to see how I feel and where I'm at in May. Still a long way off...
Oh and by the way... My ultrasound yesterday went wonderfully and we found out that though I'm still not gaining any weight, the baby is growing and is the right size, kicking around and doing so beautifully. My doctor said the growth is perfect according to the charts. Yay! I'm not nearly as nauseous (though I still have nausea) either, which is such a relief. I laugh because I thought by now I'd be a beached whale but I lost 20 lbs and look great - though it's obvious when you look at my stomach that I'm pregnant. The doctor thinks she knows the gender but wasn't sure because of the position the baby was in during the u/s - so we will know when I have the 3D u/s in two weeks during my 21st week. I have to say, Germans have no problem giving regular ultrasounds - I think I've had 5 already and I'm only 19 weeks! Here you have to see your doctor every 4 weeks and then towards the end of December, I'll have to go weekly. They monitor pregnancy closely here and watch for every possible sign of problems. What she predicts though, gender-wise, made me smile because I've had this funny intuition from the start that came naturally but I'm happy either way so I don't care what the gender is. My mother didn't know when I was born if I'd be a boy or girl, but she knew instinctively that she was having a girl so when I was born and the nurse told my mother, "It's a girl!", she said she replied, "I know, and her name is Holly Elizabeth". She said the nurse was surprised and my mother told her she knew from the first day she found out she was pregnant. Funny! When it comes to gender, maybe I would care if I already had children and for instance, had 3 boys - I may want a girl. Or vice versa. But when it's your first, how can you really have a strong preference either way? I just want a healthy child who is happy and who thrives in our home. I know that even u/s can be inaccurate with determining the gender, so I've decided to go neutral in the nursery so that if there are any surprises at birth, I can swap out accent colors and not be bothered with it. And that works for me because that's my design style in the rest of the house anyway.
I'm also planning to buy clothing that can go either way, boy or girl, so I have the necessities at the hospital to wrap my little bundle in so if there is a surprise, we are prepared and not putting a girl in a boy's outfit or a boy in a little Liberty dress. Though, hey, anything goes these days right?! It will be the dead of winter so I'll need to bring a few things to the hospital though so the baby has proper attire. I'm not a big planner and tend to be really spontaneous, so I have to admit that thinking ahead about any of this is a trip for me - I'm just not a planner type, but I guess this will come with parenting and also with parenting in Germany where everything is timed with precision and planned so expertly. Up until now though, I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing. Plus, I have a wonderful midwife so I have an expert to go to for all of my questions because though internet opinions are well-intended, I am keeping my circle pretty tight when it comes to who I'm listening to when it comes to advice. And thank god because the internet is full of wannabe medical experts!
I want to wish you a lovely day - I'll be back with some more posts later on. I have a new recipe for a delicious Fig and Raspberry Frangipane Tart to share from Jillian Leiboff, a second recipe and video to share from Liz & Jewels, a new contributor to tell you about whom I've signed on for a year to do home tours on decor8, and lots more to talk about. See you later! xo

The Secret Code Of Fashion is an international platform specialized in public relations and brand strategy agency based in Milan, dedicated to young designers and new talents worldwide. The agency curates year-round events based on fashion scout that connects new talents in fashion industry with visionary brand partners like Mad Mood Milano. The agency decided to bring to life in a different way her new platform dedicated to new talents from fashion industry through her branding agency, The Secret Code Of Fashion from Milan, and decided to create creative runways for international young designers from all over the world. After the huge success at Feeric Fashion Week, the projectdecided to move forward with the project bringing fashion students and emerging talents from different European countries like United Kingdom, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Polonia or France at Mad Mood during Milan Fashion Week in September 2017.
Katie Gementera is a young Fashion Designer located in London, United Kingdom. From a young age, Fashion Design was the dream career to pursue. With fashion and textiles training over the years and a foundation degree in Art & Design, Katie was accepted into the renowned Parsons: The New school of Design in NYC, US, in 2013 where she began her BFA degree. In 2015, Katie transferred campus' to Parsons Paris, France for a semester abroad. After falling in love with the City, Katie applied to complete her Final Year in 2016 at the Parsons Paris campus. During 2015 and 2016, she was based in London, UK and spent the year interning for high end luxury womenswear and couture brands where her knowledge was extended and skills enhanced in the working industry. This placement year allowed for a strong basis leading into her 2017 Graduate Collection: Growing up Now. The brand strives for creativity and playfulness throughout design with strong emphasis on creating something fresh, feminine and fun! The clothes are about creating a 'feeling' in people that they can resonate with instantly.
The personal memories of the open-air games and childhood experiences lived by the designer give rise to a womenswear collection in which playfulness, freedom, innocence and nostalgia are expressed through the contemporaneity of oversized geometries, exuberant ribbons and ludic accessories.
The collection is built in response to today's childish ideals. It is simple to forget how we started our life, and in an increasingly digital generation, it's important to keep childish traits, such as freedom, naivety, or innocence.
Boryana Petrova has strong interdisciplinary background in art with a Bachelor's degree in Painting (National Academy of Arts) and Masters' in Digital Arts (NAA) as well as Fashion and Business strategies (New Bulgarian University). The inspiration behind the brand BoryanaPetrova comes from the field of visual arts, but it speaks of present day subjects, such as technological progress, biomimetics and environmental issues. The designs stand out with innovative color usage and the integration of electronic components and external to the body elements like light, wind or magnetic fields. The form and patterns presented by the brand are crafted through traditional garment and textile construction techniques and are influenced by nature, civilization and history of art. Petrova's first collection - Biotrace, is inspired by images of microbes under a microscope. The color palette is influenced by Impressionism and Neoimpressionism in painting and the patterns - by Glitch and Pop art. The textiles are covered in neon prints and silicone tubes which glow under black light and in the dark, much like some strains of microbes. The silhouette and tailoring patterns are a take on the typical tomboy look - bomber jacket and oversize trousers, but combined with round shoulders, pleats and tight waist. The merging of these elements, normative for both men's and women's clothing, gives women the chance to find their identity, wherever in the full gender spectrum that might be. The materials used in the collection are wool, cotton and polyester. The Biotrace collection was first shown at the end of May as part of Fashion Forecast 2018, the graduate fashion show for New Bulgarian University's Master Program in Fashion and Business Strategies. A few weeks later it was presented a an individual show during Balkan Fashion Week 2017 and was part of the young talents project during Feeric Fashion Week 2017.
Sanja Matijevic finished BA in fashion design in 2007. She showcased her first collection in summer 2007 amoung 7 international names (Tony Ward, Gianni Calignano etc. ) at Fashion festival Budva. In 2010 she did her fashion design course at Instituto Europeo di Design in Milan. In 2012 she finished her master studies in fashion design. Since then , she has been actively showing her collections. Inspiration is traditional wear from Boka bay , where she comes from, with a modern twist and cuts. She is mainly inspired by men' s wear traditional uniform , especially by captains and generals uniform where she transforms masculine cuts into feminine pieces. Lot of hand made details are used in her collections. She focuses a lot on details and cuts , but keeps the form of the garment simple and elegant. Her last Spring-Summer 2018 collection "Military Glam" is inspired the the dukes of Montenegro and was shown at Mad Mood in Milan, during Milan Fashion Week this September 2018. Apart collection, she is also doing custom made clothes for women and men, too.
The youngest and only African-American designer of 28 chosen to appear in New York's Fashion Week, was suddenly recruited to appear in Milan, with designs described as "incredibly fresh and different." The reluctant designer is here to impress, and to unite people in fashion. The twenty-three year old phenom recently graduated from the prestigious Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), but fashion chose her. Offered scholarships at several colleges for filmmaking, Nikki first aspired to be a filmmaker. But all that changed when she developed a fashion line in 2015, called L'Oshun de Marine for a college class. Six local presenters asked to show her line, plus DC Fashion Week. The next year she developed, "the Blends." She was invited to four more shows, then to the New York and Paris Fashion Week. A star was born. Nikki Hendricks uses bold patterns and eccentric materials in her designs. She draws inspiration from the futurism genre for her style and underlying content about race, religion, gender and sexuality. She has a fine arts background and works conceptually when creating themes for her lines. The exploration of different culture and identities are consistent within her collections. Nikki Hendricks Designs includes looks that are gender neutral, masculine and feminine. "There is a global diversity trend transcends race, gender, size or sexuality. It defies the hate and division around us. That's what I try to capture in my fashion. The colors and textures of fashion, in its most pure form, are what binds us, even in the most difficult of times." Nikki Hendricks started her collection "The Blends" by interviewing 16 models of different religious, racial, and sexuality backgrounds about their cultural identity. With the global political and social atmosphere becoming more divided, despite the gains in diversity, the purpose of creating this line was to help people see what collectively unites them. She asked the models such questions as "what do you do with your family on a Sunday afternoon" and surprisingly there were similar answers. She also asked what symbol best represented their cultural identity, then she designed a pattern incorporating most of what the models chose. The pattern is meant to look abstracted from far away but up close one can see each of the symbols. The use of vinyl and neoprene were aesthetic choices to dress up the basic designs. She is working on lines for larger "real" women, and was asked to develop a specialized line for clergy.
Roses of the Queen's Dog is a Bulgarian fashion brand based in Sofia, Bulgaria. The brand starts its life in March 2017 with poetical, flamboyant collection under the brand's name. ROSES OF THE QUEEN'S DOG is a poetical, enchanting and picturesque collection named after the label. Perfectly beautiful and mystically surrounded with thorns, the rose protects, when entangled in barrier walls. Here is where the symbolical connection with the contemporary person is represented. Lost his ground under his feet, uncertain and somehow destined to imperfection. Colors of red, blue, white, yellow, green and brown form three dimensional pictures and the style is a fresh youth eclectic between the vanguard, sporty and classical patterns with a fresh wink. The presentation of the collection is inspired by the beautiful allegoric Dutch still lifes from the 17th. century. The topics of the opulence, of the magnificence and the general transcience in the world are now represented by the modern design which reverts the sent messages.
Founded in 2015 in Geneva, ODYSAY was born with a wish: to make every important moment of a woman's life more sumptuous. The ODYSAY silhouette has a distinct look: dresses are cut to clean and minimalist lines. Styles are deliberately uncluttered. Distinctive embellishments add surprising, delightful and highly feminine accents. The result is a dress of sensual and timeless elegance that favors lasting style over fleeting trends.
All ODYSAY pieces are designed in Switzerland and crafted in small ateliers in Europe. Geographical proximity allows for a tight quality control but also provides a 'responsible' approach to manufacturing. Each piece is created with carefully sourced natural materials and the finest fabrics.
Soňa Šidalová Barras, the designer behind ODYSAY, presented some of the pieces of her new SS18 collection at the Mad Mood Milan Fashion Week on Sunday, September 24th. The featured brand is a luxury, yet approachable ready-to-wear evening wear and bridal label based in Geneva. Quality, style and a strong sense of feminine aesthetics are the cornerstone of the brand's DNA. ODYSAY's collection features ultra-feminine dresses that are infused with sensual and timeless elegance. The collection is inspired by the theme of light and movement: floating fabrics and transparencies are central elements of every design, allowing for a total freedom of movement without compromising comfort and luxury. Transparencies and metallic touches introduce subtlety and luminosity to each piece. The designs are almost like a second skin, easy to wear, suitable for the everyday life. The color palette touches all pastel shades - pale pink, light green, lilac, sometimes glittered with gold threads - and evokes a midnight walk through an enchanted garden. The collection focuses on the use of lightweight natural silks, sourced from the finest UK, French and Italian suppliers: 'I like to create pieces that are paradoxically quiet and modest and surprisingly bold: dress intended to be worn time and again, to retain their appeal and grace over the years' explains Soňa, the founder and designer of the brand.
Designer Nataliya Kholodylo has worked in area of Ukrainian fashion for long time. She worked with prominent Ukrainian brands and several years ago has founded her own studio. Now she works as an independent creator of female clothes for her label NOVANA STUDIO, based in Lviv, Ukraine. Her Spring Summer 2018 Collection is for independent women with a strong personality. The looks are soft and color palette is composed by white, black and red.

Introduction of a new visa for overseas apprentices: the Trade Skills Training visa Subclass 471
A new visa enabling non-citizens to undertake an apprenticeship on a full-fee basis in regional Australia commences on 1 November 2005. On successful completion of the apprenticeship, the overseas apprentice will be able to apply for permanent residence through existing regional migration visas.
An apprenticeship is employment-based training combining workplace and classroom training, and may be undertaken in a range of traditional trades, including electrician, motor mechanic, chef or plumberˇŁ
For this visa, applicants must be sponsored by a DIMIA-approved organisation. Sponsors, who can be the employer or an organisation representing an industry or a region, undertake to monitor and support the apprentice to successful completion. The main requirements are that the organisation:
• is lawfully established and actively operating in Australia;
• has a satisfactory record of immigration compliance in Australia;
• is able to ensure appropriate training and employment arrangements are in place under the New Apprenticeship Scheme;
• if they will also be the employer of the apprentice, has a satisfactory record of, or a demonstrated commitment to training Australians; and
• is willing and able to meet the following undertakings:
to ensure the visa holder abides by the conditions of their visa;
to ensure the visa holder's accommodation arrangements are adequate;
to ensure the apprentice signs a New Apprenticeship training contract, and that this contract is lodged for registration with the relevant training authority within 3 months of the grant of the visa; and
to notify DIMIA of any material change of circumstances, in particular if the apprentice ceases to be employed in the apprenticeship for which the visa was granted.
The sponsorship application fee is $1050, and sponsorship approval is valid for 2 years, for the number of persons they have capacity to support.
To be eligible, an apprenticeship vacancy must be certified by a Regional Certifying Body as being one which has been unable to be filled by local recruitment. It must also be:
• in a traditional trade occupation (ASCO Major Group 4, requiring Certificate III or IV);
• in a trade with recognised skills shortage (MODL or other formal lists); and
• in a regional area (i.e. anywhere in Australia except the major metropolitan areas of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Wollongong, Newcastle and the Gold Coast as for RSMS).
Visa Applicants
Applicants can be offshore or onshore, so people with student visas or working holiday visas can apply. The main requirements for visa applicants are that they:
• are 18 to 35;
• have a TST sponsor;
• have a written offer of a full-time apprenticeship under the New Apprenticeship scheme in a certified vacancy;
• have the necessary education and skills to undertake the apprenticeship;
• have vocational English i.e. IELTS level 5 or equivalent;
• are able to pay for their classroom training fees, as well as living expenses for themselves and any accompanying dependants; and
• meet general health and character requirements.
The apprentice and their employer will sign a training contract, which must be registered under the Australian Government's New Apprenticeships scheme.
Sponsors will lodge the visa application on behalf of the applicant. All TST sponsorship and visa applications will be lodged at and processed by the DIMIA Brisbane Office.
Comprehensive information about this visa, including application forms, will be on the DIMIA website (www.immi.gov.au) from 1 November 2005. In the meantime, if you have further questions, please send them to email@example.com

Eyebrows are on a very visible place on our face. They do not look right, when we don't have full brows to show off, then we become self-conscious. This alone can defeat us in many ways and bring in a cloud of sadness and embarrassment.
Summing up the GrandeBrow serum to your rescue would be a powerful way to do.
Though this post is sponsored by Grande Cosmetics and brought to you by ShopShare Network, I am sharing my thoughts and opinions about this formulation.
Women love cosmetics that bring not just temporary beautification. We appreciate cosmetics that effectively correct those blemishes and imperfections making us feel confident again.
Losing eyebrows to lifestyle perils like over plucking, skin conditions, or a mistake during cosmetic procedure could push our self-esteem low to the ground.
My eyebrows were showing signs of sporadic baldness. There were spots where there was nothing, but skin. I was using a coloring pencil to fill out those bald spots.
I've heard a ton of things about eyebrow serum that supports regrowth of fine hairs in the brows. I gave it a try.
Using it twice a day – morning and night – I am happy to announce, I am celebrating my fuller eyebrows again! I feel so good that within a mere two-month period my eyebrows got their full lineage. NO bald patches, no need to use an eyebrow pencil to fill in those glaring-at-you skin spots.
I use it now once a day to keep the progress going. This GrandeBrow formula has a key ingredient L-Proline amino acid which is essential to the fortification of the eyebrow line.
Eyebrows frame our face and bring uniqueness to our facial expression.
If your eyebrows need a boost and hair regrowth, try GrandeBrow serum. Use it regularly and give it a time to do its job. At the end, I've got my fuller eyebrows, and so may you.

ANCIENTS by Merwin
Yeah I know... this is likely to get a little "out there" for nearly everyone but please bear with me..?
BY Merwin
Previously - on the comments of my last Hub, "A heartless God..? Ha… Ha… more like heartless people." I posted this comment and thought it useful to begin this Hub with, I will notate when the selected comment ends and the rest begins… (some editing for clarity and grammar was made)
Stopping here this morning before moving on to finish the next Hub... ANCIENTS.
On the one hand... (you Chasuk, say) there is no God or anything else that might be considered supernatural. That the monster that is man, will hopefully one day grow out of murderous ways but you do not seem hopeful. (fair assessment?)
On the other hand... (I believe) there is a God and He, for the last maybe, 20 thousand years, has been maneuvering through the many efforts and failures of man's attempts to prove that he is his own god. Keeping man from totally destroying everything, perhaps, hundreds of times, and this all, to provide an ultimate eternal solution that showcases man's failure to be god over himself.
The rebellion in the Garden, was effectively, two perfect minds being obstinate and stating, "We want to rule ourselves, we will eat the fruit and know what we need to know to do so. We will be our own gods."
We have, in those many eras since, done nothing to prove that we are anything but desperately wicked and murderous, with some exceptions. And invariably those exceptions can trace their source to the influences provided by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
He, God, has sought to provide us a better way out of our self absorption dilemma from the very beginning, but it must be done in a way that truthfully shows our murderous choices from beginning to end. It must be done in a way that clearly... for all eternity, illustrates that we had every opportunity to do it right, and proved ourselves fiends every time.
We proved ourselves to be fiends. We did this while manipulating the hearts and loyalties of the devoted, and, while seeking to eradicate everyone's desire for God/gods. We have used religion for power, and we have used man's desire for freedom from religions for the same end, in all cases we have proven that we are murderous.
God... through Jesus has provided the saving solution and we have provided His proof, and it has all, finally come full circle in this generation.
In the last Hub I asked some questions and made statements about the many unexplainable structures that have been found around the globe. Most of which defy post flood descriptions, and that… might want to make us re-examine the descriptions for the most obvious obvious example, the Giza Pyramid.
Because of its accessibility to many sequential civilizations, a few theories for its construction have been rendered, but, few have departed from the earliest accounts or theories of its building. These earliest treatments in hieroglyphics have been considered by many, as the actual historical documentation as to the hows and whys of its development, but I disagree with this assessment.
I consider those accounts to be their best guess as to the Giza construction. It may be an educated guess, for they may have constructed the lesser pyramids as best as they could using the techniques they describe, but the larger ones those descriptions remain doubtful.
It must be said here that the earliest penetration of the Giza pyramid is in 820 A.D. by the Arab, Caliph Abdullah Al Manum, http://unmuseum.mus.pa.us/kpyramid.htm . There was no treasure, no mummy, it was never a tomb. There were no carved hieroglyphics of any kind, and certainly none that would describe the builder, providing him with praise for the building.
In an ancient civilization that thrives on carving hieroglyphs everywhere, one may reasonably speculate that, that was not the civilization that built Giza's largest structure.
My suggestion is, (borrowed from many sources, secular and otherwise) that the Giza Pyramid and many other similarly constructed (those beyond explanation by modern science) structures were pre-flood, by our high-technologically advanced ancestors, that were, for the most part in rebellion to God.
Brothers and Sisters in Jesus, below are links to History Channel programs. These programs are looking at these actual sites of ancient structures and are drawing extra terrestrial conclusions which I do not agree with, but these places actually exist. Remember these are not believers that put these programs together but even they speculate on the likely-hood of the flood.
My conclusion is that these structures were built pre-flood, so please watch the videos (none of which are longer than fifteen minutes) with that understanding, it will make it much easier to get through.
Below History Channel's, Ancient Aliens (Season 2: Episode 8) in three parts at top… part one.

And probably the most amazing…
Tihuanaco & Pumapunku
Below are some Wikipedia text references to sites that were featured in the above links.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwanaku http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumapunku
It is good, if for no other reason than to ADMIT that "I DON'T HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT...and I'm NOT God", to see others come to the conclusion that HE'S GOD....I'm not. His way's are not necessarily my ways and His thoughts are FAR higher than mine!
So, having said that...Throw this (I'll call it a fact), into the bucket... GOD doesn't deal in time! He's not bound by it's limitations or scientific definites, (if that's a word), but that's how, for example, the thief on the cross can simultaneously be "with Jesus THIS DAY in His fathers kingdom" and "Risen as the dead in Christ" to stand before the judgement seat thousands of years later.... It is IMPOSSIBLE at this point "In time" to even remotely conceive or wrap our noggins around the concept of NO BEGINNING! Great series my friend... I need to tell you that I love you more. Merwin Severtson, I love you!
Interesting take. No doubt there is a great deal more left to be discovered.
One thing I discovered in Genesis is a biblical timeline compatible with those of science, but based upon clues "hidden" in Genesis. I talk about this in several of my own hubs, including a series on Genesis.
But many researchers (called "fringe" by the mainstream) peg the building of the great structures at sometime between 15,000 and 10,000 BC. Genesis seems to point to the date 27,970 BC for the Flood. Curiously, Edgar Cayce had said 28,000 BC for the Flood -- a round figure only 30 years from that in Genesis -- a less than 1% difference. What makes this doubly interesting is that comparing this with the timelines of science reveals the probable culprit behind the need for the Flood and reveals the Flood's target.
Cayce also gave a date for one of the earliest events in humanity's existence -- 10.5 million BC. This would be the time of "Adam" -- the earliest tribe mentioned in Genesis 5:2 (male and female). Perhaps just as interesting is the fact that Genesis gives, by the interpretation I found, 10,434,130 BC -- also less than 1% difference from Cayce's rounded approximation.
I have spent countless hours thinking about much of what you covered above.... I almost HAVE to believe that Adam and Eve were not the only beings created by the hands of God... Nor were they the first, and nowhere in scripture does it say that they were. Who knows how many times this ball of water has been "re-arranged" for whatever purpose. I do believe that Adam, however, was special, for a specific purpose, the details of which would require an entirely new Hub to adequately cover... But, "The Son's of God",..."The men of renown", (The Nephalim makers), The "People" outside the garden that Cain was afraid would kill him... (Dinosaurs for that matter) ALL lend to the notion that 'modern man' was not God's first creation on this planet. Great Hub my fat friend!
Thank you Merwin. As usual you make me feel stupid with your writing (in a good way). I enjoy being challenged by your perspectives...
Awesome hub you got here!
Brilliant hub! I stand with you in what you've presented and concluded, and am left only to ponder the wonder of the most ancient world.
The videos were fascinating. I'd never heard of Gobekli Tepe. Interestingly, I've been about 215 miles from it, approximately a decade before excavations began.
I don't believe the deluge myths of worldwide flooding. Unquestionably, there have been numerous prehistoric "megafloods." I suggest that these inspired the deluge myths.
I don't know how or why our prehistoric ancestors moved some of the enormous stones, megaliths, and monoliths that they did. We trivially lift heavier things now, so I readily accept that our prehistoric ancestors were skillful with cranes, ramps, winches, and pulleys. To speculate other technologies would be to argue from my own ignorance, and I'm not going to fall into that logical fallacy.
Keep in mind that calculating the weight of monoliths isn't exact, as this Wikipedia entry discusses:
Thank you for the intriguing hub, Merwin.
You make two claims:
1. There exist many structures around the globe which were constructed by methods "beyond explanation by modern science."
2. These structures were built by our antediluvian ancestors.
You suggest the Great Pyramid of Giza as the most obvious example of one of these structures. However, instead of arguing your claims, you provide links to YouTube videos and Wikipedia articles.
I'll hopefully watch them over the next few days.

Crime was at an all time high. It was getting out of control. Prison population was growing as well. There were more prisoners then places to house them.
Legislators were criminalizing everything. Things that were usualy not prosecuted were now punishable for crippling fines and or jail time. Jay walking, littering, improper disposal of chewing gum, spiting on sidewalk was all felonies. Manny could not afford the crippling fines so they opted to do jail time instead. Prisons were overun. There were getting more and more overcrowded. There were more prisoners then citizens. The electorate were decreasing as less and less people were eligible to vote.
Those who did vote were demanding the government crack down on crime and criminals. Even more draconian laws were being inacted. There were more arest and prosecution. Already crowded prison were getting more crowded. An already bad situatuon was getting even worse.
The minustry of justice considered housing male ans female prisoners together. This caused concern. While a prisoner guves up rights, the county was founded on basic human rights and basic dignity. Many law makers, even those who suport getting tough on crime want female offenders protected at least basic protection oforded to all life. There was objection to such a plan. Many thought it was a necessary reform but it needed work hoever
A female nurse turned member of parliament came up with an idea. She came up with what she believed was a solution. All prisoners , no matter the crime, would wear diapers all the time. They would not be allowed to remove there diapers and to even get inside. In addition to wearing diapers, the inmate would wear plastic pants equipped with a lock on it. Any attempt to interfear with the lock would be a punishible offense. Only prison officials and medical staf could change an inmates diapers. The idea did not come without controversy but the law was passed by both chambers and signed into law by the president.
Jack was a ceo of a huge company. He started out in the mail room and made it to the top post in the company. He felt an odd feeling in the back of his throat. He spit on the side walk. He did it without thinking about it. A busy body called the interior ninistry and reported on him.
The police arrested him in his office. They were not gentle. He was man handled and dragged into a police crusher.
Jake did not want to drag out a trial. There was plenty of evidence that he did it. He pled guilty and moved to proceed to sentencing. He was sentenced to five years in prison. He was immediately taken into custody.
When he arrived at the prison a nurse removed his clothing. He was given ab enema. She gave him a sponge bath. She put a diaper on him. She put plenty of baby powder on him. She put a plastic panty. She put a a padlock on his diaper. He was given his cloths back.
He was taken to the mess hall. Some of the inmates were in various sates if undress. He was told he could sit anywhere. He decided to sit with female inmates.
One had her hair in a poney tail. She wore. T shirt and diaper. The orther girl had her hair up in a bun. She wore a onesie over her diaper. He sat down. They had food that wac cut up and a baby bottle. He felt degraded.
"You dont mind bot wearing pants?" he asked. "Its cafs against my skin " she said. He introduced herself. The one with bo pants was nicky. The other girk was Becky.
After dinner,all inmates had to take a nap. The beds were cribs. All inmates were striped naked except for the diaper. He got to see becky and Nicky in just there diaper. He felt horney. He wanted to touch himself. His hands and feet were put in restraints. He was given a pacifier. All inmates are given dietetics in there food. He felt urine and fieces fall into his diaper. He had restfull sleep.
When he woke up a nurse pullwd off his diaper . his diaper was very full. He was given a sponge bath. He was given a fresh diaper.
He felt so degraded and humiliated. He feared that he would probably never regain his continence. A year of diapers would probably do him in. He decided that he had beter get used to diapers. That was probably his life now.
He liked seing half naked girl all around. Most of them had given up on modesty. He was ok with that. He still was fully clothed. It was a bit uncomfortable though. It was a smal price to pay to mantain some level of dignity.
There was not much prisoners could not do. They could do whatever they wanted. Activities offered were playing with toys or watching children telivison. Most of the inmates seemed to fully indoctrinated. He refused to believe he would ever get to that point. Others probably thought the same thing. He realy hopped he would not.
He bacame friends with Becky and nicky. They insisted he play doles with them and hide and go seak. He liked hanging out with them. He found he tired easily. He suspected they uaed drugs to keep them in check. He was not sure.
It was not the life he wanted. It couldbe worse he supposed. He decided to not be a problem. It was only a year. He could do this.
The end
This is a work of fiction and fantasy. It is no way based on reality.

Saving sight in remote communities
|Democratic Republic of Congo
|Saving sight
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the least developed nation on earth, ranked at the bottom of the UN's Human Development Index. An estimated 1.2% of the population are blind, with many people unable to access or pay for eye treatments.
Our important programme provides eye treatments to prevent avoidable blindness. As well as treating people in Vanga hospital, near Kinshasa, we conduct outreach camps, travelling with specialist staff to remote areas, far from the nearest large hospital, to identify people living with eye conditions and provide sight saving eye surgeries and treatments in their community.
The programme also trains eye health specialists and strengthens hospital systems, to improve eye health services for the long-term.Back

Editor's note: This article was updated at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 13.
As U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GoM) oil and gas producers regroup from Hurricane Nate, the level of shut-in oil and gas production has dropped further with about seven weeks left in the Atlantic hurricane season.
The production pause, which shut-in more than 1 MMbbl/d of production at one point, will likely lower the 2017 production average, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) told Hart Energy.
The storm forced the shut-in of more than 92% of GoM's daily oil production and more than 77% of daily gas production before it made landfall late Oct. 7 near the mouth of the Mississippi River in southeast Louisiana.
Figures released Oct. 12 by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) show less than 20% of daily oil production and about 12% of daily gas production remained shut-in. That's about 344,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil and just less than 400 million cubic feet (MMcf/d) of gas.
By Oct. 13 the percentage of daily oil production shut-in was down to less than 13%, or just less than 220,500 bbl/d. The amount of daily gas production shut-in was down to about 7%, or nearly 238 MMcf/d.
BSEE also reported that personnel remain evacuated from less than 2% of the GoM's 737 manned platforms. All of the GoM's non-dynamically positioned (DP) rigs and DP rigs were back to work. The information was based on reports from 15 companies operating in the GoM.
"As the storm has passed, operators will continue to re-board and inspect their facilities. Once all standard checks have been completed, production from undamaged facilities will be brought back online immediately," BSEE said. "Any facilities sustaining damage may take longer to bring back online. Currently, no damages have been reported."
Earlier this week, several companies provided updates on production restarts. Chevron Corp. and ExxonMobil Corp. were among the most recent.
Chevron said Oct. 11 that it has resumed normal operations after evacuating offshore staff and shutting in at least five GoM platforms, and ExxonMobil said a day earlier it had resumed operations at its Julia and Hadrian South subsea production system, Reuters reported.
Nate arrived about seven weeks after Hurricane Harvey, which shut-in only about a quarter of GoM daily oil and gas production but wreaked more havoc onshore with flooding and shuttered refineries.
The Atlantic region has experienced a rather active season with nine hurricanes so far. This compares with seven in 2016 and four in 2015, according to the Hurricane Research Division of National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory.
In the latest Short-term Energy Outlook (STEO), the EIA estimated GoM crude oil production jumped to a monthly average of 1.7 million (MMbbl/d) in September, following Harvey. That's up 70,000 bbl/d from the August tally.
The EIA was unable to include the full impact of Hurricane Nate into its October 2017 STEO because modeling closed Oct. 5, the EIA's Tim Hess told Hart Energy in a statement.
The "EIA did assume an average outage 35,000 bbl/d crude oil production outage for the month of October," Hess said. "However, based on current data from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement the outage from Hurricane Nate, when averaged over the 31 days of October, is between 250,000 bbl/d and 300,000 bbl/d. An outage of this size would lower total 2017 production by average of about 20,000 bbl/d."
The updated figures will be reflected in the EIA's November STEO, which is set for release Nov. 7, he added.
But the U.S. still appears to be on course to grow total production, including from the GoM where seven developments were expected to come online in 2017 and 2018. These, according to an EIA report release in April, included the planned 2018 field startups of:
- Stone Energy's Amethyst;
- BP's Atlantis North;
- Hess Corp.'s Stampede-Knotty Head and Stampede-Pony; and
- LLOG Exploration's Otis.
The EIA forecast the U.S. to break the 1970 annual production record of 9.6 MMbbl/d for total U.S. crude oil production in 2018. Total crude oil production, led by growth from prolific shale plays, is forecast to average 9.9 MMbbl/d next year, growing from an expected 9.2 MMbbl/d this year.
Likewise, total dry gas production in the U.S. is also forecast to rise, ending this year at an average 73.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), up 0.8 Bcf/d from 2016.

Case 9
AirAsia: The World's Lowest Cost Airline*
By 2009, AirAsia had established itself as Asia's most successful low-cost airline. Between January 2002 and March 2009, AirAsia had expanded from two aircraft and 200 000 passenger journeys to 79 aircraft and 11.8 million passengers. Its route network had grown beyond Malaysia to cover 10 South-East Asian countries. In addition to its hub in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia, it had replicated its system by establishing associated airlines in Thailand and Indonesia.
* Written by Robert M. Grant. The case draws upon a report written by Sara Buchholz, Nadia Fabio, Andres Ileyassoff, Laurent Mang and Daniele Visentin, AirAsia—Tales from a Long-haul Low Cost Carrier, Bocconi University (2009), and from an earlier case by Thomas Lawton and Jonathan Doh, The Ascendance of AirAsia: Building a Successful Budget Airline in Asia (Ivey School of Business, Case No. 9B08M054 2008).

By 2007, UBS research showed that AirAsia was the world's lowest cost airline with costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) significantly below those of Southwest, Jet Blue, Ryanair or Virgin Blue (see Figure 9.1). It was also one of the world's most profitable airlines. In 2008, when very few of the world's airlines made any profit at all, AirAsia earned return on assets of 4%.1 In 2009 it won the Skytrax Award as "The World's Best Low Cost Airline." AirAsia had built its business on the low-cost carrier (LCC) model created by Southwest Airlines in the U.S. and replicated throughout the world by a host of imitators. AirAsia had adapted the basic LCC model to the market, geographical and institutional features...

International equity markets were mixed overnight amidst uncertainty surrounding the US budget discussions. European markets finished with modest gains after statistics showed that China's PMI increased to 50.6 in November, a seven-month high.
This was further augmented by Greece's offer to repurchase 10 billion euros worth of bonds and German Prime Minister Angela Merkel's announcement that there is a chance of a debt write-off.
In London the FTSE added four points (+0.1%) to settle at 5871 whilst Germany's DAX rose 30 points (+0.4%) to settle at 7435. France's CAC increased nine points (+0.3%) to settle at 3567.
US markets finished with losses as budget discussions continued and after statistics showed that the nation's factory index fell from 51.7 to 49.5 in November.
The Dow Jones shed 60 points (-0.5%) to settle at 12966 whilst the S&P decreased seven points (-0.5%) to settle at 1406. The Nasdaq lost eight points (-0.3%) to settle at 3002.
In the commodity space, crude oil for January delivery added $0.18 to settle at $89.09 a barrel as the expansion in China's manufacturing sector signaled higher demand.
Gold for February delivery increased $8.40 (+0.5%) to settle at $1721.10 as investors sought the commodity's safety due to speculation that a compromise in the US budget discussions might not be reached on time.
In the currency space, the Japanese yen traded lower than the euro due to market optimism in Europe, the positive outlook in China's manufacturing sector, and the upcoming elections in Japan.
Today will see the release of building approvals data (11:30am, AEDT), the current account (11:30am, AEDT), the all important cash rate (2:30pm, AEDT), and the RBA rate statement (2:30pm, AEDT).
