Servicemindness. Fin mottagande. Fantastiskt läge och utsikt från rummet.
Perfekt centralt läge vid Croisetten. Den gamla historiska miljön. Hög klass på personalen. Onödigt högt pris på frukost i matsalen. Störande reklamdisplay med rullande bilder i matsalen.
Vackert, elegant med hög service nivå på personalen. Läget var nära centrum.Dock var piren stängd för servering och bad.(enda negativa) Piren stängd för servering och bad.(enda negativa)

Hotellet är internationellt,modernt, och lyxigt. En tråkig överlägsen attityd,kanske beroende på att vi köpt rummet till ett sista minuten pris.
Bra läge och att det var priset som avgjorde. Vanligt pris och vi hade inte stannat där. nej
Very good location, definatelly one of the best place in Cannes. Service of reception staff was very good and helpful. I also liked the stuff of the bathroom very much. Staff of the restaurant in the morning was rather slower, although not bad. I stayed during the TV market, the price for the first three days was very expensive. But after the fourth day, the price was very reasonable. During the market, there were parties every night until around three mid night in the hotel garden. My friend was complained as it was noisy, but I did not care much. If you want to sleep quietly, check the schedule of the market. I think all hotel along Croisette is noisy duirng the market.
5* room with 3* bathroom..... I think it's not worth the money as u can find better for less in cannes. Staff with false smile all the time.
Convenient for shopping and beach. Quiet yet on La Croisette. Only one easy chair in room - Stupid if two occupants.
We were upgraded to a suite, with a huge terrace overlooking the sea. The view was fantastic.
The location of the hotel For the price, the whole experience was disappointing. The 'sea view' was partial since we were on a lower floor. Since we stayed 8 nights, I asked to be moved to a higher floor when another room became available and they said they were reserved for 'their regular customers'
nothing big from the out side nothing in the inside 3 stars to be fair
The hotel is in a great location being opposite to the beach on the croisette. The hotel has been refurbished to reflect the original design from the 1960's. The hotel felt a little impersonal and this is also reflected by the attitude of the staff.
The bar man was friendly and had good champagne. Maid knocked/entered too early in the morning.
Room with terrace and seaview! The duplex was very clean, new, the kitchen equipped. No hairdryer (but you can ask the reception) / Stanza con terrazzo e vista mare! Il duplex (monolocale soppalcato) era pulito, nuovissimo, cucina attrezzata. Manca il fon (chiedere in reception). Per gli italiani: portare presa con attacco francese! Studio for 4 people really small, no armchair; we change in a duplex for 4-6 (we were 3), but it's maximum for 4 people. / Il monolocale x 4 è troppo piccolo, non ci sono armadi, abbiamo chiesto per il duplex per 4-6 anche se eravamo solo 3, il quale potrebbe essere al max per 4.
clean rooms that they behave like a three star hotel
The hotel has recently been refurbished so everything is very clean and new at the moment. Very close to the main shopping streets of Cannes as well as the beach and the train station. The room we ordered for 4 adults contained a pull out bunk bed, a single bed and a bed that you pulled out from underneath the single bed - not really what we were expecting.
Nära till stadskärnan, till stranden, och till croisetten. Strandsavgift när man ändå är gäst på hotellet.
Det var ett oväntat bra läge på hotellet c:a 100m från stranden. Om man inte absolut måste ha balkong eller havsutsikt från rummet så är detta ett perfekt strandhotell med väldigt centralt läge i Cannes. nej.
Bra läge, fint hotell -
Ett kvarter från stranden och den centrala strandpromenaden. Två kvarter upp till shopinggatan, Snygg foaje och bar, Rummen inget lyx men väl fungerande snygga och trevliga. Ett normalt 4 stjärnigt hotell. Trevlig personal
trevlig och proffsig personal. Killen i receptionen sa till i baren att vi skulle bjudas på champagne eftersom det var vår bröllopsnatt. kommer att bo där igen. dyrt, men värt vartenda öre
Excellent location. Hotel was very clean. Breakfast plentiful with a good choice. Room was upgraded and we were offered late checkout without asking and extra payment, as we were there for Nice marathon and our runners required showers afterwards. Hotel staff very efficient, friendly, polite and spoke good English. Would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in Cannes.
Outstanding service. Incredibly friendly people working at the hotel, nothing was too much trouble. Most of the other guests were regulars and I am sure that when we stay in Cannes next it will be there. The breakfast was simple and delicious too. Perfectly situated in Cannes a really good place to walk to and from shopping, the beach and when going out in the evening. In short 'friendly, clean and a great location'. Initially, I was a little disappointed with the size of the room. However it was one of the cleanest hotels I have ever seen and I was out and about most of the time, so it didn't trouble me. Also, given the price we paid for our room, in an expensive town like Cannes, it probably was the right size!
Great, central Cannes location. The rooms are modern, clean, have efficient air conditioning and contain flat screen TVs. Free desktop Internet access is available in the lobby. The multi-lingual staff was wonderful. As with most smaller, city-central European hotels, the facilities are limited (no pool, no exercise room, parking is available one block away, etc), but the friendly, cozy and secure nature of the establishment makes up for this. Excellent shopping, cafes/restaurants, the beach, etc, are all nearby and easily strolled to. The staff was always patient with our requests, willing to help with a smile and made us feel welcome. Our week-long stay there was an exceptional experience and we would highly recommend this hotel.
The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were always kept very clean. The location of the hotel is excellent and enormously convenient in a quiet street in the middle of Cannes.
Our stay at Hotel America was excellent, the hotel was ideally located, good value and the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. We will stay there again.
The location is very good, right in the center of Cannes. Friendly staff. A great hotel. No free internet
Very clean and welcoming. Excellent staff. Quiet and yet ideal location for beach and shopping. Everything worked as it should.
Hotel staff is very nice and the location is good.
location was terrific. staff were phenomenal. rooms are small.
Location excellent clean and modern with friendly staff I've stayed at more expensive not as good as this one
Avspänd trevlig naturlig och vänlig personal, alltid med ett leende. Ett helt fantastiskt hotell. Mycket prisvärt även om i kronor räknat det blir ett flertal. Men att bo på detta som många säger ett av världens bästa hotell känns prisvärt. Byggnaden är fantastiskt vacker och fylld med konstföremål som bara det är ett stort nöje. Resturangen har även förstklassig mat, även den prisvärt kostade 90 Euro för en fantastisk måltid. Inget.
Kan verkligen rekomendera detta hotell. Spånnande inredning och personalen gör sitt yttersta för att man ska trivas.Mycket prisvärt!
Vi var två vuxna och fem barn som bodde i Presidentsviten. Det var ett perfekt upplägg för oss. Den bestod av tre rum och var totalt på c:a 100kvm. Bra standard på rum, sängar och badrum. Skulle tro att det var helt nyrenoverat. Läget var helt ok. 100 meter från shoppinggatan och restaurangkvarteren.

Scleroderma XXXXXXXXXX Biology 1406 Class XXXXXX Fall 2010 Dr. Andrei Nesterovitch
What is scleroderma? From the Greek words "sklerosis," meaning hardness, and "derma,"meaning skin, scleroderma means hard skin. Scleroderma is a chronic, often progressive autoimmune connective tissue disorder, in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues.
Scleroderma is in the same category as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Hard, tight skin is usually the extent of the disorder, however, the problem can affect blood vessels and internal organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
The immune system is thought to stimulate cells called fibroblasts so they produce too much collagen forming thick connective tissue that builds up within the skin and internal organs.
In the United States, an estimated 300,000 people have some form of scleroderma.
Causes The exact cause is unknown, but scientists are certain that scleroderma is not transmitted from one person to another. Several factors may include genetic makeup, environmental triggers, and hormones.
Most persons with scleroderma do not have relatives with scleroderma, nor do their children. Research indicates there is a "susceptibility gene" which raises one's chances of having scleroderma, but does not cause the disease by itself. Genetic makeup
The idea of the susceptibility gene has been confirmed by scientists at the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSC) Houston. A research team headed by Dr. Maureen Mayes at UTHSC is a quarter of the way to finding the genes and pathways responsible for systemic scleroderma.
A genetic research technique called a genome- wide association study was used, allowing researchers to detect genetic variations associated with a particular disease. When the important genes are found, scientists can focus on developing interventions to block their activity.
If one is genetically predisposed to scleroderma, suspected triggers include viral infections, certain adhesive and coating materials, and organic solvents such as vinyl chloride or trichloroethylene. No environmental agent has been shown to cause scleroderma. Environmental triggers
Because of female predominance of scleroderma, scientists suspect that hormonal differences between women and men play a part in the disease. However, the role of estrogen or other female hormones has not been proven. Hormones
Types of scleroderma There are two basic types of scleroderma— the Localized form and the Systemic form.
Forms of scleroderma
Localized scleroderma Localized types of scleroderma are those limited to the skin and related tissues and, in some cases, the muscle below. Internal organs are not affected by localized scleroderma, and localized scleroderma can never progress to the systemic form of the disease.
Often, localized conditions improve or go away on their own over time, but the skin changes and damage that occur when the disease is active can be permanent. For some people, localized scleroderma is serious and disabling. There are two generally recognized types of localized scleroderma: morphea and linear.
Morphea comes from a Greek word that means "form" or "structure." The word refers to local patches of scleroderma. The first signs of the disease are reddish patches of skin that thicken into firm, oval-shaped areas.
The center of each patch becomes ivory colored with violet borders. These patches sweat very little and have little hair growth. Patches appear most often on the chest, stomach, and back. Sometimes they appear on the face, arms, and legs.
Linear scleroderma is characterized by a single line or band of thickened or abnormally colored skin. Usually, the line runs down an arm or leg, but in some people it runs down the forehead.
Systemic scleroderma This form of the disease not only includes the skin, but also involves the tissues beneath, the blood vessels, and the major organs. Systemic scleroderma is typically broken down into limited cutaneous scleroderma and diffuse cutaneous scleroderma.
Limited cutaneous scleroderma affects the skin only in certain areas: the fingers, hands, face, lower arms, and legs. People with limited disease often have all or some of the symptoms that some doctors call CREST syndrome, which stands for the following conditions: Calcinosis, Raynaud's, Esophageal dysfunction, Sclerodactyly, and Telangiectasia.
Calcinosis is the formation of calcium deposits in the connective tissues. These deposits are typically found on the fingers, hands, face, and trunk, and on the skin above elbows and knees. Deposits can break through the skin.
Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition in which the small blood vessels of the hands or feet contract in response to cold or anxiety. Hands or feet turn white and cold, then blue. As blood flow returns, they become red.
Fingertip tissues may suffer damage, leading to ulcers, scars, or gangrene.
Esophageal dysfunction is impaired function of the esophagus that occurs when smooth muscles in the esophagus lose normal movement. In the upper and lower esophagus, the result can be swallowing difficulties. In the lower esophagus, the result can be chronic heartburn or inflammation.
Sclerodactyly is thick and tight skin on the fingers, resulting from deposits of collagen within skin layers. The condition makes it harder to bend or straighten the fingers. Sclerodactyly also causes the skin to appear shiny and darkened, with hair loss.
Telangiectasia is a condition caused by the swelling of blood vessels, in which small red spots appear on the hands and face. A "butterfly rash" on the cheeks is common.
Diffuse cutaneous scleroderma typically comes on suddenly. Skin thickening begins in the hands and spreads quickly and over much of the body, affecting the hands, face, upper arms, upper legs, chest, and stomach in a symmetrical fashion. Internally, this condition can damage key organs such as the intestines, lungs, heart, and kidneys.
Death occurs most often from pulmonary, heart, and kidney complications. In diffuse cutaneous disease, 5-year survival is 70%, 10-year survival 55%. About 10% to 15% of people with scleroderma develop severe lung disease during the course of their illness.
Virtually all people with systemic sclerosis have some loss of lung function. Severe lung disease, comes in two forms: pulmonary fibrosis, hardening or scarring of lung tissue because of excess collagen, and pulmonary hypertension, high blood pressure in the artery that carries blood from the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary complications
Heart problems include cardiomyopathy, scarring and weakening of the heart; myocarditis, inflamed heart muscle; and arrhythmia, abnormal heartbeat. Heart complications
Renal crisis occurs in about 10% of all patients with scleroderma. Renal crisis results in severe uncontrolled high blood pressure, which can quickly lead to kidney failure. Kidney complications
There is no direct cure for scleroderma. Because the cause is unknown, any treatment is patient-specific and aimed at ameliorating symptoms of the disease. Example: Patients with Raynaud's phenomenon may be treated with agents to increase blood flow to the fingers. Treatment
Fibrosis of the skin has been treated with varying degrees of success with agents such as d-penicillamine, colchicine, PUVA, Relaxin, and cyclosporine. Because scleroderma is an autoimmune disease, one of the major pillars of treatment involves the use of immunosuppressive agents.
With systemic scleroderma, skin changes may occur suddenly and progressively worsen during the first one to two years of the disease. After that, changes level off or subside, and sometimes even resolve on their own without treatment. When internal organ damage has occurred, treatment for the specific condition is required.
Pulmonary fibrosis may be treated with drugs that suppress the immune system, along with low doses of corticosteroids. Pulmonary hypertension may be treated with drugs that dilate the blood vessels, or with newer medications that are prescribed specifically for treating pulmonary hypertension.
Treatment for heart conditions related to scleroderma ranges from drugs to surgery and varies depending on the nature of the condition. Treatment for kidney conditions related to scleroderma, includes regular blood pressure checks and prescribed medications such as ACE inhibitors.
Summary Learning to live with scleroderma can be challenging. There are many areas of one's life that are changed by the disease. Finding ways to remain active and cope with uncertainty will lead those affected by the condition to feel better physically and emotionally.

Boris Johnson faces the possibility of an inquiry by anti-sleaze watchdogs after failing to declare his shareholding in a television company.
The Labour MP Karen Buck, called on the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner to investigate after it emerged that Mr Johnson did not register shares in Finland Station, for more than 18 months. Aides to the Tory candidate for London mayor said he had not declared his 33 per cent shareholding because of an "oversight" and they had now ensured the shareholding was registered.
Ms Buck said: "Boris Johnson is trying to repackage himself as a serious and competent politician whilst claiming his failure to comply with rules on reporting these shareholdings to the parliamentary commission was simply an oversight. I am afraid this, once again, calls into question Boris Johnson's competency for one of the most serious jobs in the country."
Mr Johnson did declare a £30,000 fee from the company for filming a documentary, The Flame of Rome, which was the only income he had received from Finland Station, his spokeswoman said. "There have been no dividends paid nor are there expected to be in the near future. Finland Station is properly registered with Companies House as is Boris Johnson's interest in that company," the spokeswoman said.
"Although he has received no other income, his shareholding has been registered after this matter was brought to his attention. This is an oversight which Boris Johnson takes ultimate responsibility for."Reuse content

Getting fired from work when you're sick or caring for a loved one can put your finances in jeopardy and risk ongoing medical care. But it is legal for your employer to fire you when you're under a doctor's care in circumstances that do not violate laws relating to discrimination, worker's compensation or the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Worker's Compensation Cases
It's very difficult for an employer to fire you while you're receiving care for a work-related injury. The federal government and every state across the country have laws designed to protect you from your employer's retaliatory actions resulting from your assertion of your legal rights. These laws do not directly stop your employer from firing you, but the laws do provide you with immediate legal recourse including the right to seek lost wages, compensatory damages and punitive damages from your employer in civil court.
General Medical Care
Technically speaking, receiving prescription medication from a doctor for an infection or other illness means you are under that doctor's care. Your employer may terminate you at any time regardless of the status of your illness. Your employer may do this because at-will employment laws in your state allow it. At-will employment laws are in place for every state in the country except Montana. These regulations permit an employer or employee to end a working relationship at any time without notice. Company personnel regulations may restrict your employer's ability to fire you if you provide proof of your illness, including a doctor's note.
Excessive Absences
If an illness causes you to miss work past your available sick days it may put your employment in jeopardy. An employer is within her rights to terminate your employment if you cannot show up for work on a reliable basis. Termination from work could end any employment-related health care you are receiving. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) allows you to continue receiving your health care benefits for up to 18 months after you lose your job. The downside is that you have to pay the total cost of this health care without the affordability of a group health care plan.
Family and Medical Leave Act
It is illegal for an employer to fire you if you leave work under the conditions of the Family and Medical Leave Act. The FMLA allows you to leave work for up to 12 weeks in any 12-month period for a medical procedure or illness including the birth of a child, a serious health condition or to care for a sick spouse or immediate family member. Your employer must have your position available to you when you return from this leave.

Echo and Reverb by Peter Doyle
Book DescriptionEcho and Reverb is the first history of acoustically imagined space in popular music recording. The book documents how acoustic effects-reverberation, room ambience, and echo-have been used in recordings since the 1920s to create virtual sonic architectures and landscapes. Author Peter Doyle traces the development of these acoustically-created worlds from the ancient Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus to the dramatic acoustic architectures of the medieval cathedral, the grand concert halls of the 19th century, and those created by the humble parlor phonograph of the early 20th century, and finally, the revolutionary age of rock 'n' roll. Citing recordings ranging from Gene Austin's 'My Blue Heaven' to Elvis Presley's 'Mystery Train,' Doyle illustrates how non-musical sound constructs, with all their rich and contradictory baggage, became a central feature of recorded music. The book traces various imagined worlds created with synthetic echo and reverb-the heroic landscapes of the cowboy west, the twilight shores of south sea islands, the uncanny alleys of dark cityscapes, the weird mindspaces of horror movies, the private and collective spaces of teen experience, and the funky juke-joints of the mind.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 436680
Boot crashes bringing up rt61 wireless interface after upgrading to kernel 126.96.36.199-12
Last modified: 2008-03-14 10:01:44 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:188.8.131.52) Gecko/20080208 Fedora/22.214.171.124-1.fc8 Firefox/188.8.131.52
Description of problem:
After upgrading from kernel-188.8.131.52-12.fc8 to kernel-184.108.40.206-137.fc8 and rebooting, wireless did not work. I re-configured the wireless adapter using system-config-network. Now the boot stalls / crashes at the line "Bringing up interface wlan0"
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from kernel-22.214.171.124-12.fc8 to kernel-126.96.36.199-137.fc8
2. Reboot -- wireless does not work at all
3. Use system-config-network to re-configure wireless adapter
4. Reboot
5. Boot stalls at "Bringing up interface wlan0"
Actual Results:
Machine will not boot -- stalls at "Bringing up interface wlan0"
Expected Results:
Boot should have proceeded, interface should have come up and then obtained an address through dhclient. (Still works reliably under kernel-188.8.131.52-137.fc8).
Additional info:
May have something to do with setting Mode=Managed for the wireless card; on some reboots, the machine stalls after "Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :"
Confirm this can be worked-around by downloading, building & installing a more
up-to-date version of the rt2x00 wireless modules (I used the
rt2x00-cvs-2008030906 snapshot). Download from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com. Could
updated rt2x00 wireless module be included in the next kernel update? Thanks,
The kernels here contain an update to rt2x00 version 2.1.4:
Could you give those kernels a try to see if they resolve this issue for you?
Thanks. I confirm updating to 126.96.36.199-34.fc8 resolves this problem for me.
Note: I do see the following during boot (which I had not seen before):
"Bringing up interface wlan0: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A):
SET failed on device wlan0; No such file or directory."
This seems like an unrelated problem though, and doesn't seem to affect the
operation of wlan0, which now works fine.

I absolutely love Boulder and I cant imagine a better place to live. Everyone is fit, outdoorsy, nice and down to earth. The setting is idealistic. The community is tight knit. The town does an incredible job of maintaining all the landscape etc. It has great public schools, and i love how its a college town. It's also within range of both great skiing areas, and Denver.

I've lived in the Silverlake/ Everett area for several years now, and extremely love it. I love the people I live around, the schools, and the restaurants nearby. I personally love the state of Washington and think it's the best State in the United States. I would love living in Washington for the rest of my life.

The general atmosphere of living on the campus at the University of Utah is overall very pleasant. The people are very friendly and outgoing. It is not a struggle to meet new people. There is plenty to do especially if you love the outdoors. Compared to other places, especially campuses, I think that I am very lucky to have the beauty that surrounds me and I am lucky to be able to go outdoors and explore the nature.

Lakewood is a place I like calling home because of how safe I feel when I'm walking my dog at night. The public transportation is easily accessible with many bus stops and multiple light rail locations. Everything is close by and just a fifteen minute drive to be in downtown Denver. Only thing I wish I could change would be to make it more affordable. I can only dream of one day owning a home here.

I wouldn't say it's bad but neither would I say it's good. You have to deal with the typical person trying to rob things around your yard and behind your house. Then there is always the possibility of your car getting broken into as well. I like where I live but if I could choose, I would choose a better place to live.

The area I live in is growing exponentially and expanding further out into the plains that used to dominate the area. New houses and neighborhoods are expanding everyday, so many of the companies or businesses open are newer and clean. However, the cost of entertainment around my area is rather high, so I often find myself with no inexpensive activities to participate in. The schools I went to were also high quality.

Lists of nutrition information posted in supermarkets were designed to reduce the information-processing costs of comparing alternative foods. In Experiment 1, lists of vitamins and minerals increased nutrition knowledge but had no influence on actual purchases. In Experiment 2, a list of added sugar—a negative component of food—increased the market share of low-sugar breakfast cereals at the expense of high-sugar brands. We conclude that effort-reducing displays are a successful technique for increasing information use, especially for the more highly valued negative nutrients.

Coming soon
Requested 3 months ago
When providing the shipping address for the company applying for the wholesale application, it would be great if this address could be validated against a prominent shipping carrier such as UPS / USPS / FedEx.
Requested 6 months ago
Allowing wholesalers to generate reports once they login to their account. For example, monthly expenses, most purchased products, order requests per employee, etc.
Requested 6 months ago
Option for wholesalers to login to their account and enter payments for orders pending payment. For example, if they wanted to pay with credit card after submitting an order instead of mailing a check.
Requested 6 months ago
Would be great to limit which products a wholesaler can and cannot purchase. Some of our wholesale users are not able to purchase some of our products due to country regulations.
Requested 6 months ago
Being able to manage which payment methods each wholesale account can use during checkout. Currently we have a few wholesale accounts that can only submit orders with credit cards whereas most can use offline payment methods such as purchase order, Net 30, or bank transfer.
Sort By
We purchased the B2B suite almost 2 months ago now and we are happy with it, although we are still using it only in a test environment. We would be happier if all the great features planned for the next months would already be included but we find other ways around to get our solution ready for our busiest time of the year at the end of the summer. The sales/support/dev team is doing an excellent job following up on our requests. Because we are on such a tight schedule, we ask modifications within short delays and we always get a polite and efficient feedback. For sure we would like everything to be ready for yesterday but IWD is professional enough to do the task well before it releases it to us, which is the good way to go. All in all, we are happy with the service and the product so far.

The functions of this extension are simple and fit. They are just right for our company as a furniture wholesaler. The sales we contact is very professional, he replied our email right away and gave us a detailed web meeting demo for every single function.
The only thing hesitated us is the monthly subscription. We prefer one time charge and own the code.

Winner of The Little Rebels Children's Book Award 2014 - Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2014 - Shortlisted for the Leeds Book Awards 2014, 11-14 age category & Longlisted for the 2013 Guardian Children's Fiction Prize Award winning Gillian Cross takes a brilliant 'what if' as the premise for this gripping and thought-provoking adventure. The British economy has collapsed. Civil disobedience sets family against family as raids for the scarce food leads to violent attacks. After Matt's Dad and grandfather are killed, his Mum is determined to keep the family going by growing food and by storing all she can. Soon they are attacked as 'scadgers' for hoarding. The only solution is to flee to France where British refugees are allowed to live in camps. Matt and those around him survive in the alien environment of the camp by adopting new behaviours that bring out their best – and worst – characteristics. Gillian Cross creates believable characters who's choices matter to her readers.

After Tomorrow has won The Little Rebels Children's Book Award 2014. Wendy Cooling, who judged the Award with Kim Reynolds and Elizabeth Laird, said: "This is a frighteningly believable story, a real page-turner with a strong sense of danger always present, and many big issues of a possible future just below the surface."

After Tomorrow by Gillian Cross
The picture changed and we were looking at a long line of people trudging down a country road. They were loaded with bundles and backpacks and babies and they all looked miserable and exhausted. Refugees, I thought automatically. But they weren't. They were people like us.
Matt's world is collapsing. Following 'Armageddon' Monday, when the five big banks crashed, armed robbers are roaming the streets, money has become worthless, and people are going hungry. Matt's family have survived by growing and trading their own food, but they have now become the target of raiders.
The only hope for Matt and his little brother, Taco, is to escape to France through the Channel Tunnel, herded together with other migrants in the back of a truck. But when they get there, life isn't much better. In a makeshift refugee camp in Les Mondeaux they find themselves the target of hostile locals and conmen, and prey to hunger and sickness. All Matt's inner resources are put to the test as he struggles to survive . . .

Twilight and Moonbeam Alley by Stefan Zweig
Book DescriptionA French country estate, and a dive bar in the sailors district of a German port provide the backdrop for these two exquisite stories 'Twilight' is the story of a fashionable lady who is banished from Versailles by the king. She tries to make the best of living on her country estate, but although she entertains lovers and friends from Paris, she comes to find it intolerable. Life at court, for all its essential emptiness, was the only thing that gave her existence meaning, and she moves inexorably towards suicide. In 'Moonbeam Alley', a traveller delayed in a French port explores the sailors' quarter. Enticed by a voice singing an aria, to a bar near the harbour, he learns the story of those who run it and frequent it: a tale of violence, unrequited passion, and a marriage that is no true marriage. Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he moved to London, where he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.
