Hur påverkar oroligheterna i Frankrike nästa års presidentval?
Frankrike fortsätter att sjuda av missnöje. Två veckor efter de första stora demonstrationerna med krav på ökade anslag till de offentliga skolorna kulminerade oroligheterna lördagen den 17 oktober. Omfattande förstörelse av småföretag, kaféer, stadshus och butikskedjors lokaler har fört den franska ekonomin ännu närmare en katastrof.

Best of Both Sides on protests across Europe: A post-War promise unfulfilled The likes of Macron and Sánchez, especially, are challenged by the political extremes. As protests grow violent, the far-right looks to assert its authority on law and order, a move Marine Le Pen in France has already made By David Lees In the past two weeks, Europe has witnessed demonstrations and riots in several countries.
What unrest on French streets could mean for next year’s presidential election Original
And so France continues to smoulder. Two weeks after the first mass demonstrations in support of increased funding for French state schools, events reached a peak on Saturday October 17. Widespread destruction of small businesses, cafés, town halls and chain shops have brought the French economy even further to catastrophe.

Γαλλία: Γιατί οι συγκρίσεις των φοιτητικών διαδηλώσεων με τον Μάη του ’68 εξυπηρετούν μόνο τα πολιτικά άκρα
Οι φοιτητικές διαδηλώσεις που έχουν εξαπλωθεί σε ολόκληρη τη Γαλλία τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες δεν αποτελούν πρωτοφανές φαινόμενο. Πράγματι, οι σχολιαστές έσπευσαν να κάνουν συγκρίσεις με τα γεγονότα του Μαΐου και του Ιουνίου του 1968, όταν, στην κορύφωση των κινητοποιήσεων, περισσότεροι από 10 εκατομμύρια φοιτητές και εργαζόμενοι βγήκαν στους δρόμους. Το 1968, όπως και σήμερα, υπήρχαν βάσιμοι λόγοι για διαμαρτυρία.
French student protests: comparisons with 1968 will only serve the political extremes
THE student demonstrations that have spread across France in recent weeks are not unprecedented. Indeed, commentators have been quick to point to comparisons with the events of May and June 1968, when, at their peak, more than 10 million students and workers took to the streets. In 1968, as now, there were legitimate reasons for protest.

Kuarden-Core - WARNING! Investor Ruin and Social Media Manipulation
The burgeoning cryptocurrency market has become a target for elaborate financial schemes, many of which leverage the intimate and fast-paced nature of social media. The operation known as “ Kuarden-Core,” like others of its kind, utilized a highly specific digital playbook to draw in a large pool of investors, leading to substantial and ultimately unrecoverable capital losses.
Will calls for Emmanuel Macron to go intensify after PM’s resignation?
Macron will no doubt continue to see his role as a statesman on the world stage and hope that one of his followers can bring the left on board, or else hope the prospective legislative election could bring some change. If not, these conditions means two years is a long time to wait for a change in president Paris: French prime minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned after less than a month in the role, making him the fourth to leave the office in the past year and a half.

France’s latest prime minister has resigned after less than a month - what will Emmanuel Macron do now? Original
French prime minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned after less than a month in the role, making him the fourth to leave the office in the past year and a half. When he was first elected in 2017, President Emmanuel Macron was supposed to be a figure of calm. After five turbulent years under the presidency of François Hollande, Macron heralded a new dawn.

The Bizarre Dining Habits of Moths
Though adult moths are not streamlined into pure ‘eating machines’ as are caterpillars, if they have not stocked up the necessary reserves to power the adult stage, the adults still need to feed or seek additives not in the larval diet, and subsequently have developed some interesting strategies. Here, we examine some of the more bizarre dining habits of moths.
France's election: taking stock of a startling outcome
Despite weeks of opinion polls predicting France’s far right would sweep to power in the legislative elections, Sunday’s second round of polling resulted in Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) and its allies being forced into third place by the New Popular Front alliance of leftwing and green parties, and Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Ensemble coalition. France will now have a hung parliament. David Lees looks at what ‘s happened.
French election: far-right government blocked as Le Pen’s alliance pushed into third place
And so it did not come to pass. For all the expectation – and yes, fear among some in France and around the world – the far-right has failed in its bid to gain a majority in the French National Assembly (the lower house of France’s parliament). Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (RN) and its allies came top in the first round of voting in France’s hastily called legislative election.
Elecciones en Francia: la alianza de izquierdas frena en seco al partido de Le Pen
A pesar de todas las expectativas –y sí, el miedo de algunos en Francia y en todo el mundo– la extrema derecha ha fracasado en su intento de obtener la mayoría en la Asamblea Nacional francesa (la cámara baja del parlamento francés). La Agrupación Nacional (RN) de Marine Le Pen y sus aliados quedaron en cabeza en la primera vuelta de las elecciones legislativas francesas, convocadas precipitadamente.

Are SAP users embracing AI?
SAP has been on an AI rampage. SAP customers, and wider markets as a whole, now watch on as the software giant continues to promote its global offering of AI-powered innovations, primed and ready to strengthen users' toolkits. It's worth noting, however, that AI is not a new thing for SAP; they've long offered add-on applications that use AI (running on SAP BTP). We're talking about the likes of invoice matching, resume screening, guided buying, and delivery date predictions.

Probate Disputes Involving Assets In England And Scotland
We specialise in dealing with probate disputes involving assets in England and Scotland People in the UK often fail to realise that the law in England and Wales is very different to the law in Scotland.

Hiding in plain sight - rediscovering SAP as a growth enabler
Just as a houses’ plumbing is integral to an inhabitable home, SAP is crucial to almost all organisations. 94% of the world’s 500 largest companies use SAP. 77% of global transactions interact with an SAP system. It has become part and parcel of basic business functioning. But - just like the plumbing in our homes - we expect everything to run smoothly, rarely deliberating whether the system could be changed or improved, and only really consider it when something goes wrong.

Warum ist automatisierte, duale Wartung für SAP unverzichtbar?
Gestern bestellt, heute umgesetzt und am liebsten morgen in der Produktion. Je schneller ich meinem Unternehmen durch Innovationen entscheidende Impulse gebe, desto wettbewerbsfähiger werde ich. Die automatisierte, duale Wartung in SAP ist dabei ein entscheidender Faktor. Sie kommt vor allem bei großen Transformationsprojekten wie einer S/4-Migration zum Tragen. Der Umgang mit parallelen SAP-Landschaften, wie sie beispielsweise bei einer S/4-Migration auftreten, ist schwierig und komplex.

The True State of SAP S/4HANA in 2022
"By my estimate, more than 89% of the S/4 transformation is still to be done." As I was preparing for a recent webinar, I was looking for data on the current state of S/4HANA adoption from ECC customers, and what I found was quite interesting. Let's take a look at what SAP has said, what the data shows, and why the reality of the situation might be a bit more complicated.

Understanding SAP Landscape Set-Up, and Associated Challenges – Part 1 - DZone DevOps
How can I put this politely? The technical side of SAP isn’t exactly obvious or welcoming to novices. There are some similarities with other IT systems, it’s true, but plenty of uniqueness exists too. I was reminded of this fact recently when speaking to some of the new starters at Basis Technologies — the looks on their faces told me I was assuming too much about their technical knowledge.
British racing great Stirling Moss dies aged 90
Stirling Moss, the archetypal British racer widely regarded as the greatest Formula One driver never to win the world championship, has died at the age of 90. A team mate at Mercedes to Argentine five-time world champion Juan Manuel Fangio, the Briton won 16 grands prix in the 1950s and early 1960s when the sport was at its deadliest and most daring. Four times a championship runner-up, and also third overall on three occasions, no other driver has won as many races without taking the title.
