The company which has supplied our Long Line system, specialist moulds and production equipment for the past 6 years of production operations is Railway Moulds & Systems Ltd. Their quality of workmanship and excellent back up service has ensured there have been no major technical issues with the current sleeper production. We recommend RMS as a lead machinery equipment and sleeper mould manufacturer.


Whether teeth are busted from bar fights or chipped from falling facedown, ground and decayed from drug use, or riddled with cavities from passing out nightly without brushing, dental care is important. It's not too late to start brushing at least twice a day and flossing once daily—even if it's a drag. And a trip to a dentist or hygienist is always a smart idea. Affordable care is available at dental schools, where a supervised student dentist can perform most services. Tooth whitening can be a nice luxury (and it helps to undo stains from all the coffee guzzled in 12-step meetings!).
A new hairstyle can change everything—plus, it's a great way to leave at least part of the past behind. One newly sober person gave her reason for shaving it all off: "Now I don't have any hair left on my head that could test positive for drugs!" A lot of people in recovery have found new careers as hairstylists or barbers; you can ask one of them for a recommendation. Chances are someone will offer a discount. Similar to dental colleges, many cosmetology schools and salons need hair models. And a flattering haircut can help you in interviews if you're looking for a job.
…a flattering haircut can help you in interviews if you're looking for a job.
Self-esteem champion RuPaul (who is also in recovery) once said: "Keepin ya nails lookin fly is a true sign of self-love." Ru speaks the truth, honey. Go on, cut your coke nail down! Get a pedicure. It's a great way to feel pampered, and express yourself with a pop of color or a shiny buff. It's not just for the ladies—a soothing hand or foot massage can be enjoyed by anyone. These parts of the body are often an afterthought to a drunk. Now the hand-holding at the end of the meeting won't be so rough (literally).
Drinking water is the simplest way to beautify from the inside out. Adequate water consumption helps organs function properly and washes out toxins. Water provides energy and adds a fresh and dewy look to skin. Whether you like your water flat—or with bubbles—the standard suggestion is eight 8 oz. glasses of water (2 liters) a day. And water's not just for drinking: a hot bubble bath is a well-deserved indulgence. And it might just help you relax more than alcohol or drugs ever did.
"H.A.L.T." is a 12-step acronym that stands for "hungry, angry, lonely, and tired." It might seem obvious, but these four issues can trip us up in a big way—and they're all pretty easy to remedy. Most alcoholics and addicts in early recovery are not accustomed to regular meal or sleep routines. Until you've learned to rebuild a structure into your life, remember to eat when you're hungry, and rest when you're tired. As for the other two? Call a friend or your sponsor and talk it out.

Home News Moto G4 Play Is Coming Soon?
Moto G4 Play Is Coming Soon?
Further expanding its formidable smartphone portfolioMoto G4 and Moto G4 Plus, Lenovo is gearing up for supposed launch of Moto G4 Play, as per the reports. There hasn't been any official announcement about Moto G4 Play availability yet, but recently it was spotted on Indian import documents. If whatever has been reported is true, the Moto G4 Play could come with a price tag of Rs. 8,999 in India. In the past, Moto G4 Play was once spotted on Moto's official website in the United States.
The phone is rumored to feature a 5-inch HD display. At the heart of it sports a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. It also houses 16GB of internal storage, which can be further augmented by up to 128GB using a microSD card.
For photography enthusiasts, the Moto G4 Play bears an 8-megapixel rear camera, coupled with a 5-megapixel selfie camera. It is also backed by a 2,800mAh battery and supports connectivity options like 4G LTE support, dual-SIM, Wi-Fi 802, GPS and Bluetooth.
There is no information about the VoLTE support. Like Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus, it will also be running on Andriod Marshmallow 6.0.1 and is very likely to be timely updated to Android Nougat. It is also expected to feature water repellent coating treading on the lines of Moto G4 series.
If rumors are true, it certainly makes life difficult for the likes of Coolpad Note 3, Honor Holly 2 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy On5 which are retailing in the same price range.


When I took over at New Star United, they were a team on the brink. Out of the top four divisions, struggling to make ends meet. No one thought I'd last long there. Oh but how I have proved them wrong.
Almost 20 seasons into my career, I've won every piece of silverware the top of the beautiful game has to offer. I've done the treble, missed out on the quadruple by the width of a post. I've beaten a Barcelona analogue 6-1 in the champions league final.
I've spent 300 million on players, started the careers of some of the brightest young stars playing right now. And, despite the fact I've spent more than 72 hours of my real life playing the game, it's unlikely I'm going to stop any time soon.
The game is an extension of the New Star Soccer formula. Rather than just controlling the career of a single player, here you're in charge of an entire club. Not just the players, but the infrastructure as well.

Q: Creating an Array of values from DB and passing into a Form I want to create an array of Values taken from the DB and pass them into a Form.
I have a set of functions that calculate and fetch results:
$uid = $current_user->ID;
$user_email = $current_user->user_email;
$oid = $_GET['oid'];
$order_total = walleto_get_total_for_order($oid);

All functions have been tested and work well.

*

*How do I create an array of the values?

*How to take the values and paste them into a FORM and send ?

------- This is the a request for solution after tests on the question from here - not resolved ----------

A: Creating an array is quite simple :
$myarray = array() ;

$myarray['uid'] = $current_user->ID;
$myarray['user_email'] = $current_user->user_email;
$myarray['oid'] = $_GET['oid'];
$myarray['order_total'] = walleto_get_total_for_order($oid);

Then you don't "paste" the values into a form, you set them as values and they will be sent when the user click on the submit button

Southern Maryland is where Maryland's history began when 140 brave colonists established the forth permanent settlement in British North America. As time marched on, native woodland trails gave way to the rolling roads of tobacco plantations, and square-riggers gave way to steamboats and skip jacks. Southern Maryland's unique past is richly preserved in its numerous historic sites, dynamic museums, and rural scenic byways all awaiting your discovery. Southern Maryland is a natural wonderland, with fossil-filled cliffs and sculpted sandy beaches, lighthouses standing watch over limitless waters and an American Heritage River teeming with largemouth and striped bass.
Local sites provided by Southern Maryland Tourism:
Planters and Plantations - In 1635, early settlers established St. Mary's City along the banks of the beautiful St. Mary's River. By the late 17th century, the colony had grown and outlying plantations thrived along the creeks and rivers which formed the economic lifelines to the Chesapeake Bay and the greater world beyond. Start the day with a visit to Historic St. Mary's City, Maryland's premier outdoor living history museum. While there, board the Maryland Dove, a manned working replica of the ship that carried colonists from England. Experience the life and daily concerns of an early colonial family at the Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation. Tour the reconstructed State House and Ordinary Museum Shop. Stop in Leonardtown for lunch at one of the quaint town's restaurants, then travel up the road and into the 18th century at Sotterley Plantation. Enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the Patuxent River and tour the Manor House. We are a smaller, tight knit, community that offers many events to the public sponsored by local businesses. There are also a variety of groups and clubs offered for children from Boys and Girls Club, Girl Scouts, various sports, and Parks and Recreation. You can get away from it all at any of Southern Maryland's State Parks. Hike along a river trail at Greenwell, Freshwater fishing and paddle boats at Gilbert Run, Bass fishing and boating at Smallwood, Water sports at Benedict, relaxing picnic area and public beaches throughout. You could choose to head to Waldorf for some well deserved shopping time. After shopping, enjoy a meal at any of the fine restaurant in and around Waldorf. For extended family outings you could choose to drive to one the many easily accessible cities to visit Smithsonian Museums, The National Zoo, The Maryland Zoo, Baltimore Aquarium, Six Flags America, King's Dominion Theme Park, Great Wolf Lodge Indoor Water Park, The Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, FedEx Field, Camden Yards, Richmond International Raceway, M & T Stadium, MCI Center, and much more.

Smaato Names Accomplished Adtech Product Strategy Expert Freddy Friedman Chief Product Officer
Home » Press Center » Smaato Names Accomplished Adtech Product Strategy Expert Freddy Friedman Chief Product Officer
Posted on October 5th, 2017
San Francisco, CA – WEBWIRE – Thursday, October 5, 2017 – Smaato today announced that former Glispa Global Group CPO Freddy Friedman has joined Smaato as Chief Product Officer, effective October 2, 2017. Reporting to Ragnar Kruse, CEO of Smaato, Mr. Friedman assumes responsibility for overseeing Smaato's global product and advertising technology strategy.
Mr. Friedman brings more than 15 years of product leadership experience across the digital and mobile industries to Smaato, where he will play a key role in leading the company's mobile advertising and product experience efforts during the company's next evolutionary stage. Smaato already delivers more than 19 billion daily ad impressions globally and reaches approximately 50 percent of the world's smartphone users–and that number is steadily increasing. Alongside Smaato's established executive team, Mr. Friedman will tap into his adtech expertise and knowledge around app development, big data and digital media to further scale Smaato's growth globally.
"We are thrilled to bring Freddy Friedman on board as CPO during this period of rapid growth and dynamism in the company," said Smaato CEO and Co-Founder Ragnar Kruse. "His analytical thinking, customer focus and proven track record of mentoring and driving product teams positions him as the perfect candidate to serve as part of Smaato's distinguished executive team in heading global expansion."
Mr. Friedman was most recently the CPO of Glispa Global Group in Berlin, Germany, where he focused on developing and managing the company's adtech strategy. Prior to joining Glispa, he served as Senior Product Director at Amobee, where he headed the company's core product lines, including its SSP, DSP, Trading Desk, and DMP. Before Amobee, he was a Product Marketing Director for the mobile VAS company Mobixell, where he oversaw all global media partnership activity for their mobile advertising unit. Prior to that, he served in a range of product positions at Pelephone, a leading mobile operator.
"Smaato has raised the bar in mobile advertising by creating one of the cleanest, most brand-safe and transparent exchanges for publishers, app developers and advertisers in the industry," said Friedman. "As CPO, I look forward to broadening and evolving Smaato's capabilities and bringing new products and services to market."
Mobile ad spending is anticipated to grow faster than ever, rising from $45.95 billion in 2016 to $86.84 billion in 2020 in the US alone, according to eMarketer. As consumers' appetite for apps continues to grow, in-app advertising will be a main driver of mobile ad spend. In Q2, in-app ad spending hit a record-high 94 percent of total mobile ad spending on Smaato's platform. Mr. Friedman will play a critical role in spearheading the development of new products and services that are built specifically for mobile and in-app, and lead product strategy to meet demand in fast-growing markets worldwide.

127.2.1 Introduction
Cultural Resources can include archaeological sites, buildings, bridges and other structures such as dams and tunnels, and even landscapes that still maintain a palpable connection to the past. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), as an agency of the Federal government, has responsibilities for the identification, protection, and stewardship of historic properties in their control so future generations can experience our history. These tasks are codified in a series of laws and policies. Much of the responsibility to follow these laws has been delegated by the FHWA to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
MoDOT must consider the potential impacts any MoDOT project may have on significant cultural resources to comply with federal and state historic preservation laws and to be environmentally responsible. For projects being developed, this process is typically started at the time the project manager submits a Request for Environmental Services (RES) to Design.
A cultural resource is any archaeological site, building, structure (e.g., bridge), district, or object. A significant cultural resource is one that meets certain criteria and is included in, or eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) and is termed a historic property or historic resource. Not all cultural resources are historically significant, but potential project impacts to all must be considered.
MoDOT may have historic preservation concerns for any project or activity that involves:
Ground disturbances within existing or proposed MoDOT right-of-way or easements;
Modifying or removing a bridge or culvert;
The destruction, relocation, or encroachment upon a building(s); and/or
The purchase or sale of right of way
These actions may be associated with initial highway construction, maintenance, or subsequent improvement activities. Even if a project plan does not include these actions, later contractor or maintenance tasks could meet one of these criteria. Evaluating whether a project or activity may impact a cultural resource requires specialized training and experience. MoDOT staff able to make these determinations is in the Historic Preservation Section of Design in the CO. It is imperative that the Historic Preservation Section be involved in project determinations about cultural resources and be notified if cultural resources are encountered within job limits during construction or on highway property in general.
127.2.1.1 Historic Preservation Regulations and Laws
The primary legislation that requires cultural resources investigations is Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Compliance with this law is required whenever a project uses federal funds or requires federal permits. Section 106 requires three things: identifying resources that could be impacted by the proposed action; evaluating the nature and severity of the project impacts to historic resources; and attempting to avoid, minimize or mitigate project impacts to the historic resources.
There are additional historic preservation laws and guidelines that MoDOT must comply with. Potential project impacts to certain kinds of historic resources that are identified during project development may require the preparation of a Section 4(f) evaluation that requires comparison of costs and impacts associated with avoiding the resource. The Section 4(f) process states that an alternative that is generally similar in cost and constructability but avoids the significant resource must be selected whenever possible. Federal laws also require that American Indian tribes be consulted if a project will impact prehistoric burials or sites that the tribes may consider important.
There are two state laws that involve projects encountering human burials. The Unmarked Human Burials law (RSMo 194) addresses situations where activities impact prehistoric burials and previously unrecognized historic burials. The Cemeteries law (RSMo 214) addresses project impacts to cemeteries and historic burials that are marked by headstones, particular kinds of vegetation or local folklore. If burials are found during construction (see Sec. 107.8 and 203.4.8 of the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction ), construction in that area must cease and MoDOT's Historic Preservation Staff must be contacted. If contact cannot be made with the Historic Preservation Staff, then the county sheriff must be contacted.
127.2.2 Construction Inspection Guidance
Mitigation by investigation and removal is usually completed prior to construction if the presence of cultural resources is known. If artifacts are discovered during construction activities, the Design Division must be immediately notified. This will allow an inspection of the site by professional archaeologists to determine if further investigation is necessary before construction activities continue.
Sec. 107.8 and 203.4.8of the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction require the contractor to take steps to preserve any such objects that may be encountered and to deliver them to the custody of the engineer. If it is necessary to discontinue operations in a particular area to preserve such objects, this section of the specifications is basis for a work suspension.

Blockchain application beyond Bitcoin – More than just cryptocurrencies
PlanetCompliance
Most people associate the Blockchain technology with Bitcoin. What they don't know that it has already moved on to the next level of applications in Financial Services and it seems every day other subjects are added to the list of things the Blockchain might be used for. Let's have a look at the different areas:
The obvious application of the Blockchain technology is the transition of the use of it in virtual or cryptocurrencies for the transferring of funds. Ripple, which is a payment network that can be used to transfer any currency and its own ripple digital currency, uses distributed ledger technology. It's distributed financial technology allows for banks around the world to directly transact with each other without the need for a central counterparty or correspondent. According to its website already 10 of the top 50 banks work with Ripple and after RBS last year the Royal Bank of Canada only recently revealed it, too, had started a trial working on a limited-production proof of concept.
PayPal, the online payments system, is working together with Bitcoin payment processors and is looking how to integrate the technology, for instance by the acquisition of Braintree (the mobile and web payments specialist that was bought by then PayPal's former parent company Ebay and remained with PayPal after the split) or adding industry expertise like the addition to the board of Fintech entrepreneur Wences Casares in January.
However, since the Blockchain can technically be used for any form of value transaction, it isn't surprising that the list of financial institutions researching and investing in the technology. Ledra Capital, a NY based VC firm, lists 14 areas in Financial Instruments, Records and Models alone in its own Mega-Master Blockchain List of applications based on the technology Blockchain. The list includes private and public equity, bonds, derivatives and any voting rights associated with these instruments as well as commodities, spending, trading and mortgage/loan records. The use of the technology is theoretically possible along the whole cycle from the creation of securities to maintenance of positions to asset servicing and trading to clearing and settlement. For example, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) together with a group of six banks and financial services providers a few weeks ago announced that it had successfully tested Blockchain technology and smart contracts to manage post-trade lifecycle events for credit default swaps (CDS) (for more information, see here).
IBM, the tech giant, is a member of Linux Foundation's Hyperledger Project, which is an open source, collaborative effort to create a Blockchain for business. Hyperledger serves as the foundation code for the IBM Blockchain products, services, and solutions. As part of this project, IBM demonstrates on its website how to make a simple asset transaction with a Blockchain network and how a commercial paper trading network can be implemented using Blockchain (see link), which is quite useful for anyone interested in getting an idea of the process.
Edward Budd, Deutsche Bank's Chief Digital Officer, has been striking a sceptic tone in recent interviews on Blockchain, stating that the technology in his opinion is not going to destroy the business model of banks, but admitted that it will fundamentally change it though. No wonder the list of banks exploring the Blockchain technology published by LTP reads like a who is who of the financial industry.

Bubble watch: California homebuying 'affordability' near pre-crash lows
Just 23% of California households this spring could theoretically qualify to buy

"Bubble Watch" digs into trends that may indicate economic and/or housing market troubles ahead.
Buzz: California's pandemic-era homebuying binge slashed affordability to levels last seen in 2007 when folks were grossly overpaying for residences.
Source: The "affordability" index from the California Association of Realtors is a yardstick that mixes price trends, mortgage rates and income patterns for existing single-family houses. I'm not a huge fan of most affordability indexes because they're far too simplistic. However, it's noteworthy — and sometimes eye-catching — to see the relative changes in payment pressures placed on house hunters.
By CAR's math, just 23% of California households in the second quarter could theoretically qualify to buy California's $819,630 median-priced home. That's down from 27% in winter and 35% in 2020's first quarter.
The last time this benchmark was lower was in 2007's fourth quarter when it hit 18%, just after bottoming out at 11% the previous two quarters. If you've forgotten, this was just as that housing market's bubble was crashing into the Great Recession.
The dissection
Just as affordability hasn't stopped buyers to date, it doesn't mean new owners aren't struggling to make payments or house hunters aren't rethinking their plans.
Forget the index for a moment. Let's look at house payments for new owners. The pandemic's buying frenzy wiped out any help low mortgage rates gave buyers, according to California Realtor quarterly stats …

Spring 2019: 4.17% average 30-year loan rate on the $608,660 median-priced house created a $3,070 payment, including taxes and assuming 20% down.
Spring 2020: 3.43% rate on $610,850 house was $2,880 monthly — down 6% in that year.
Spring 2021: 3.2% rate on $817,950 house (yes, that's up 34% in a year) was $3,770 monthly. So the check to the lender is 31% larger in a year and 23% bigger from 2019.
Still, painfully low affordability — detailed by high house payments or the index — certainly didn't chill buyer enthusiasm this spring.
Look at the state's 12 most-populous counties, the springtime swing in their affordability indexes, and how house sales soared vs. lockdown-cooled June 2020. Statewide homebuying jumped 28% during the 12 months ended in June …
Los Angeles: It had a 756,020 median selling price despite 22% affordability, down from 31% in spring 2020. June sales were up 42% in a year.
San Diego: $850,000 median; 22% affordability, down from 30%. Sales were up 29%.
Orange: $1.1 million median; 17% affordability, down from 25%. Sales were up 62%.
Riverside: $560,000 median; 33% affordability, down from 43%. Sales were up 17%.
San Bernardino: $420,000 median; 43% affordability, down from 54%. Sales were up 17%.
Santa Clara: $1.7 million median; 21% affordability, down from 22%. Sales? Up 47%.
Alameda: $1.3 million median; 18% affordability, down from 26%. Sales were up 45%.
Sacramento: $505,000 median; 38% affordability, down from 46%. Sales were up 13%.
Contra Costa: $1 million median; 26% affordability, down from 37%. Sales were up 29%.
Fresno: $365,000 median; 43% affordability, down from 51% vs. 2020. Sales? Up 12%.
Kern: $320,000 median; 45% affordability, down from 50% vs. 2020. Sales were up 22%.
San Francisco: $1.9 million median; 19% affordability, the same as a year ago. Sales were up 87%.
Nationally, affordability was 50% in the spring, down from 54% in winter and 59% in 2020's first quarter. It's the lowest since the end of 2010.
How bubbly?
On a scale of zero bubbles (no bubble here) to five bubbles (five-alarm warning) … SIX BUBBLES!
A healthy market requires an ample supply of potential buyers who can purchase a residence without bankrupting themselves.
If too many potential buyers can no longer afford to buy — and we may be nearing that situation — we likely will see marketplace changes that include heightened risk-taking: Wannabe owners stretching their wallets even further; more generous lending; and/or investors stepping into the buying void.
Or is it "different" this time?

Home Housing Buying Buying a property near or outside Paris
How to find a home in the suburbs of Paris or further out in the French countryside surrounding France's capital city.
If you work in Paris, you don't necessarily need to live in the heart of France's capital. Good connections to outer suburbs and towns make living outside of Paris a feasible option, particularly for those who are seeking more space and cheaper properties to buy in France.
Clements Worldwide provides international insurance solutions to expats around the world. Their international Personal Property insurance is designed specifically for expat lifestyles. So, wherever your life takes you, Clements Worldwide can help you protect your home and belongings.

Living outside Paris but close by
If you've got a young family to raise, you might find living outside the city walls more attractive than buying a home in the centre of Paris: property is cheaper, children have access to green spaces and the city's noise and air pollution problems are left behind. Because Paris is small compared to other European capitals, living outside does not inevitably mean travelling vast distances; transport links are well developed and reasonably cheap. Some important points to consider when looking at different areas are:
Check proximity of schools or crèches.
Make sure the metro/train links with Paris don't involve complicated, lengthy changes.
See which RER express train stations link into the centre of the capital.
Enquire about local town taxes, known as the impôts locaux, which you will pay every year.
Understanding the map
Excluding the overseas territories, France is administratively divided into 95 départements, each of which has a number as well as a name.
Paris is number 75, and its immediately surrounding départements are:
Essonne, 91 (south),
Hauts-de-Seine, 92 (south-west and west),
Yvelines, 78 (the outer south-west),
Val-d'Oise, 95, (the north),
Seine-St. Denis, 93, (north and north-east),
Val-de-Marne, 94, (the east and south-east).
The départements further away but still within commuting distances are the Seine-et-Marne, 77 (south east), and the Oise, 60 (north).
Living closest to Paris
The west and southwest (92 and 78) and the east (94) are great if you want a green and pleasant area close enough to get into the city for dinner appointments and back in time for the baby-sitter.
The hilltop towns of St-Cloud, Sèvres, Meudon and Ville-d'Avray (92) are surrounded by sprawling, tranquil forests and only 10 minutes into central Paris by train and, outside of the rush hour, less than 30 minutes by car. Prices are relatively high. Houses are exorbitant – you can easily spend over EUR 1.5 million on a large house in St-Cloud for example – but there are tasteful apartment buildings with private parks for around EUR 350,000.
East of Paris offers the only other sizeable patch of green, around the Bois de Vincennes (94), and among the towns of Nogent and Joinville. Prices are generally reasonable (a nice three-bedroom house can be around EUR 175,000) and the area is well-served by train, although accessing central Paris by car is slightly less convenient than from the south-west.
Head for the country
If you're looking further afield, look closely at a transport map of the Paris region to check out the RER express metro links which go right into the centre of the capital. Being beside one can mean all the difference between a 30-minute train hop and a gruelling one-hour car trip.
West are Versailles and Saint-Germain-en-Laye (78), surrounded by the Saint-Germain forest. Both are dormitory areas and well-served by train, but far enough out to feel a world away from Paris. Home of the Sun King, Versailles is not cheap: a modern, four-bedroom apartment can cost around EUR 400,000.
Further out, and south-west of Paris, the up-market area of the vallée de Chevreuse (78), with its modern housing estates and country villages with old stone houses, is just 45 minutes from Paris by public transport. A renovated traditional four-bedroom house in a hamlet surrounded by forest could set you back around EUR 400,000.
East of the Chevreuse valley, south of the capital, is the vallée de la Bièvre (91), with modern housing, much of it surrounded by countryside. The university town of Orsay and dozens of technical research centres are here. The greater south and west has a high-speed TGV train station at Massy, independent of Paris, and reasonable access to Orly airport.
East of the capital (94 and 77) are leafy areas surrounding the river Marne, with grand old houses and modern housing estates. A renovated, five-bedroom stone house costs under EUR 250,000 around here. The area is also home to Disneyland Paris and is well served by public transport. Charles de Gaulle airport is also not far away.
The outer north-east region offers pretty countryside but transport can be a problem. It's worth a look, but surrounded by areas of ugly modern buildings, are the towns on the southern end of the forêt de Sénart, and near Melun, (91 and 77), southeast of the capital.
If you're looking for something truly away from it all but within an hour or more from the capital, look at the south and south east, drawing a line west to east between Dourdan (78) and Fontainebleau (77). You'll find pretty villages with charming old properties and big gardens but you'll need a car to help you get into Paris. Fontainebleau itself is surrounded by the impressively huge Fontainebleau forest and is an hour from Paris by train – you can buy a pretty, four-bedroom townhouse there for under EUR 200,000.
Close to the forêt de Montmorency are a number of pleasant small towns, including Auvers-sur-Oise (made famous by Vincent Van Gogh), and I'Isle-Adam, both on the banks of the river Oise (60). Around EUR 300,000 will get you a pretty house and garden in Auvers-sur-Oise. The town of Senlis (60), north east of Paris, has good rail and motorway links and wonderful surrounding countryside, including the forest of Halatte.
Pretty villages including the equestrian town of Chantilly (60) are nearby. The area includes the Asterix amusement park and Charles de Gaulle airport.
How to find a property
While there are over 3,500 agents immobilièrs (estate agents) in Paris, almost all of them operate completely independently, without any co-operation (with the exception of a couple of companies like Orpi), and there are almost no multi-agent agreements. It's also been estimated that about half of all Parisian property is sold direct by the owners. So property hunting can be a bit of a nightmare, which is why many people choose to use property finders. Here are a few English language property and property finder websites to get you started on your search:
green-acres.com
idimmo.net
lodgis.com
orpirealestate.com
paris-aparts.com
pap.fr
A final tip
Property tends to move fast in Paris: sometimes a property is sold the same day it goes on the market. Once you find a place you like, you may have to act fast. So:
Do your research into the different arrondissements and know what the price per metre is for that area.
Make sure you know what you're after at the outset.
Remember that making an offer is legally binding (see our guide to buying property in France).
Have your finances sorted (get a French bank account).

Julien Faubert (Le Havre, 1 d'agost de 1983) és un futbolista internacional francès. Juga com a centrecampista i es troba actualment sense equip.

Trajectòria

Es va formar com a futbolista a les categories inferiors de l'AS Cannes, arribant al primer equip el 2002. A l'equip de la Costa Blava va jugar 45 partits, marcant 4 gols. El 2004 va ser traspassat al Girondins de Bordeus, on va jugar 96 partits, marcant nou gols. El seu gran paper al Girondins li van permetre jugar 17 partits amb la selecció francesa sub-21, arribant a debutar amb l'absoluta a l'agost del 2006, marcant el gol de la victòria bleu.

El jove jugador francès va despertar l'interès de diversos clubs europeus a l'estiu de 2007, entre ells el Glasgow Rangers que va oferir 6,5 milions d'euros i el West Ham United FC que va aconseguir els serveis del futbolista per 6,1 milions de lliures.

Durant la pretemporada amb l'equip anglès, va trencar-se el tendó d'Aquil·les a un partit davant el Sigma Olomouc, restant fora dels terrenys de joc durant sis mesos. El 12 de gener de 2008 va debutar amb el West Ham a la FA Premier League, encara que sense gaire sort al patir diferents lesions que només li van permetre jugar set partits de Lliga i un de Copa.

Durant la temporada 2008-09 va començar a jugar de lateral dret, posició a la qual s'ha pogut adaptar, jugant vint partits fins al febrer.

El 30 de gener de 2009 va entrar en negociacions amb el Reial Madrid CF per una possible cessió al conjunt blanc, que es va fer efectiva per 1,5 milions d'euros amb una opció de compra a final de la temporada per 6 milions.

The four famous faces of Mount Rushmore could be joined by a fifth under a plan to add former president Ronald Reagan to the giant sculpture.
Supporters say the man who dominated American and global politics in the eighties deserves to take his place alongside the presidents who shaped the United States.
But opponents say the addition would damage the rockface and destroy a great work of art.
Reagan: The century's greatest president?
The proposal to carve Mr Reagan's face into the South Dakota sculpture comes up for debate in the US Congress this week.
Mount Rushmore features the heads of four presidents - George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began his monument to American history in 1927. It took another 14 years to complete with workmen having to blast through 100 foot of rock.
Republican Congressman Matt Salmon, who is backing the proposal, says Mr Reagan should be added because he gave Americans faith in the future.
But park rangers say there is no room for another head and the addition would endanger the already fragile structure.
Former head of maintenance Eugene Koeving, who knew Mr Borglum, says Mr Reagan's face would also destroy the monument's artistic value.
''Would you take some of Michaelangelo's work and add to it?
''This is one of the most beautiful pieces of artwork in the world, and to go ahead now and change it from the original carving would absolutely desecrate it,'' he added.
BBC Washington Correspondent Philippa Thomas says congressmen are unlikely to approve the plan.
Previous suggestions to add John F Kennedy and Elvis Presley have got short shrift.
It seems Mr Reagan will have to console himself with other memorials in his name - a motorway, an airport and an office development.
