Could This Be Amazon?s New Kindle Fire?

New Kindle FireAfter this morning's news that the Kindle Fire is now sold out, The Verge received a leaked photo of what is purported to be the next Kindle Fire. Two models are supposed to be released, a 7-inch variant that will replace the existing device and a new 10-inch device that would put it in competition with Apple and the iPad. The Verge's report lines up nicely with previous rumors that circulated before Amazon told its employees to stop talking to tech blogs. The first generation Kindle Fire bore a striking resemblance to the BlackBerry Playbook since it was based on the same reference design, but if this image is actually legitimate, Amazon has clearly gone in a different direction.

Global shares slip, euro flat ahead of central bank moves

LONDON (Reuters) - The euro hovered near an eight-week high on Wednesday, with investors reluctant to push it higher ahead of a speech by the U.S. Federal Reserve chairman and before seeing the European Central Bank's plan to tackle the region's debt crisis.

But global growth worries weighed on equity markets, dragging world shares lower, while oil prices eased after Hurricane Isaac in the Gulf of Mexico looked set to spare local production facilities from significant damage.

U.S. stock index futures pointed to a slightly lower open on Wall Street on Wednesday.

Moves in major risk asset markets are being limited by hopes that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will signal an easier U.S. monetary policy in a speech to international central bankers gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, at the end of the week.

There is also rising optimism that the ECB, which will meet on September 6, is close to producing a decisive bond-buying plan to bring down high Spanish and Italian borrowing costs, and ease Europe's three-year-old debt crisis.

But with the risk of disappointment on both fronts high, investors were adopting a cautious approach.

"We've got the prospects of further quantitative easing in the United States and a rate cut in Europe, but against that we've got a worsening economic outlook, so we're in limbo for the time being," said Richard Griffiths, associate director at Berkeley Futures Ltd.

Concerns about the global economic outlook were firmly outweighing any potential positive impact of central bank actions in the equity markets, pulling the FTSEurofirst 300 index down 0.4 percent to 1,083.80 points.

The euro area's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index was also down 0.6 percent at 2427.95 points.

A mixed session in Asia, where evidence of slowing activity in China has been weighing on sentiment, left the MSCI world equity index facing a sixth day of losses. It was down 0.1 percent at 323.27 points.

Emerging stocks also hit their lowest levels in nearly four weeks due to the sharp drop in Chinese shares, which are the largest component of the index.

ITALIAN AUCTION TEST

In the debt markets the approach of Bernanke's speech and a lack of fresh details on the ECB's plan for containing the euro area's debt crisis, which is expected to involve new sovereign debt purchases, kept most key rates steady.

U.S. Treasury bond yields and German government bonds were little changed across the curve.

Investors are looking ahead to Thursday's sale of up to 6.5 billion euros ($8.2 billion) of new Italian five- and 10-year bonds, which is seen as a guide to the market's view on how successful the ECB plan is likely to be.

The auction is the first sale of longer-term debt since ECB President Mario Draghi said in late July he was ready to do whatever it took to preserve the euro.

In an opinion piece written for a German newspaper on Wednesday, Draghi defended the central bank's proposed bond buying plan, saying it must employ "exceptional measures" at times to fulfil its mandate of delivering stable prices.

The comments were seen as a retort to German officials who have criticized the bank for considering what they see as a scheme that amounts to outright financing of governments, which is outside its remit.

"The ECB (is) basically trying to convince policy makers in Europe that this action (bond buying) is required to repair the monetary policy transmission mechanism," said Ian Stannard, head of European FX Strategy at Morgan Stanley.

"And I think the policy might be very difficult for policymakers to disagree with," he said.

ISAAC BLOW SUBDUED

Oil markets were more focused on Hurricane Isaac, which is moving along the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico, a region that accounts for about 23 percent of all U.S. oil output.

Oil production dropped by more than 90 percent on Tuesday as coastal refineries shut down in a precautionary move ahead of the approaching Category 1 hurricane.

But as Isaac left local oil production facilities without significant damage, Brent crude futures for October slipped $1 to $111.58 a barrel, and U.S. light crude was down 80 cents at $95.53.

"Oil prices are slightly down this morning because it is expected that oil production in the Gulf of Mexico will quickly return to normal," said Carsten Fritsch, an oil analyst at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.

($1 = 0.7958 euros)

Steel pollution case highlights Italy's slow decline

TARANTO, Italy (Reuters) - The sprawling ILVA steelworks has loomed over the skyline of Taranto and dominated the city's economy for 50 years, but toxic pollution has transformed the site from a symbol of postwar prosperity to an emblem of Italy's long industrial decline.

Following years of uncontrolled environmental abuse, the future of the plant, the largest steel producer in Europe, now hangs in the balance after judges finally stepped in last month and ordered it to clean up or be shut down.

The plant's owners, the family-owned Riva group, must now wait until the end of September for a specially appointed group of experts to decide what action it must take to gain a new environmental certificate allowing continued operation.

As many as 20,000 jobs are at risk in an area already weakened by high unemployment, while officials look for a solution to a problem that has produced abnormal levels of tumors and chronic respiratory disease in the city, located on the "heel" of southern Italy.

"How are people supposed to live?" said former ILVA worker Michele Fiorino, as he stood in Tamburi, a rundown Taranto suburb that stands in the shadow of the plant and where mortality rates are as much as 70 percent above the city average.

"At night when it's hot like this, you've got a choice; sleep with the windows open and risk getting covered in black dust, or closing the windows and turning on the air conditioning, and not everyone around here can afford that," he said.

Behind the immediate health threat, ILVA is a stark example of the suffocating mix of short-term political expediency, poor oversight and endemic corruption that has given Italy the most sluggish economy of any euro zone country over the course of a decade, with average growth of less than one percent a year.

Unlike more modern steel plants in Germany or France, with their advanced filters and safety systems, ILVA's huge smokestacks dump thousands of tons of choking dust on the city every year, giving many of the buildings in Tamburi a distinctive black or dull-red tone.

Emissions of dioxins, benzoapyrene and other cancer-causing chemicals have poisoned fishing and farmland for miles around in what a Taranto court described as an "environmental disaster".

Court documents say the Riva group has made numerous unfulfilled pledges to clean up at the site, and company head Emilio Riva has been convicted twice of environmental offences over the past decade.

However, until magistrates seized key parts of the site at the end of July, no effective action had ever been taken to stop the pollution or make ILVA match environmental standards laid down in European Union regulations.

Giorgio Assennato, head of the ARPA environmental authority in the Puglia region where Taranto is located, said the fact that it took the courts to intervene and shut the plant despite repeated warnings from ARPA and other authorities laid bare a dangerous weakness in regulatory control.

"We have to accept the fact that in Italy you have to turn to the criminal justice system because the system of environmental governance is unbalanced by lobbies, which use improper practices to influence institutions for their own advantage," he said.

"MANNA FROM HEAVEN"

As national elections approach next year, the case of ILVA, one of the few big industrial employers left in the south, underlines the complexity and scale of the challenge that will face any government trying to make the deep structural reforms needed to restore Italy's sclerotic economy.

"The story of Taranto is not just a story of pollution and jobs, it is the story of a country that has been unable to create an alternative to its old heavy industry," said Andrea Colli, a professor at Milan's Bocconi University and a specialist in industrial and business history. "It says a great deal about the wider problems in the Italian economy."

Built by the state-owned Italsider group in the late 1950s during a drive to industrialize the poor and underdeveloped south, ILVA was originally intended to be a specialist maker of steel tubes for Italy's then-booming oil refinery sector.

By the time its furnaces began operations in 1964, political interests had changed the original project and created Italy's fourth large general-purpose steelmaker, aimed in part at providing jobs in an underdeveloped region and incidentally serving as a votes factory for local politicians.

Thousands of agricultural workers left the land for secure and relatively well-paid work in the factory, joining the economic boom that was transforming postwar Italy but which at the same time was leaving the south dangerously dependent on a few isolated industrial mastodons.

"It was like manna from heaven for the region when it opened," said Franco Tocci, who worked at the plant from 1964 until he retired in 1995, a month after ILVA was privatized and sold to the Riva group. "No one talked about pollution until much later."

Environmental concerns counted for little, and the economic justification for the plant played second fiddle to regional development and the political convenience of a large workforce and major industrial site.

The plant's workforce has since fallen from more than 22,000 at its height in the 1980s to just 12,000 today, with another 8,000 workers who depend directly on the plant.

Fears of job losses have continued to hamper action in a region where unemployment stands at 37 percent in some areas and where only one working-age person in three has a job.

Concerns about pollution were easily brushed aside by management, unions and local politicians, despite plentiful evidence of serious problems at the site.

"This has been a problem for 40 years," said Ippazio Stefano, the mayor of Taranto and a doctor who has observed the effect of the pollution at first hand.

"I got my degree in 1970, when ILVA had been operating for 10 years. My thesis was: 'An increase in lung tumors in an industrial city'".

ABUSES

Prosecutors finally acted after a damning series of reports from ARPA and an analysis of dioxin in a sample of local pecorino sheep's cheese commissioned by a local environmental group in 2008 added to growing evidence of abuse.

Documents from the Taranto court that ordered the ILVA plant be put under special administration and cleaned up suggest the problem was deliberately concealed by management.

The court, which initially ran into fierce union and government opposition, accuses the Riva group of obstructing environmental inspectors and knowingly allowing the deadly pollution to continue.

It has placed Emilio Riva and two others under house arrest pending further investigations that involve a number of politicians and public officials.

However, many questions remain about why the problem was allowed to persist without anyone intervening to stop it, and in particular why the plant was granted an environmental clearance in 2011.

Prosecution wiretap evidence cited in the documents alleges that senior executives of the group tried to silence journalists and, in at least one case, pay off an outside expert to provide a favorable environmental assessment of the site.

"There's been no conviction, and it's still unproven of course, but it does seem that there has been corruption involved," Stefano said.

ILVA did not respond to repeated email and telephone requests for comment, but Bruno Ferrante, the former government official named in July to run the plant, has pledged to cooperate with environmental authorities in the clean-up.

Beyond the allegations of individual wrongdoing, the case points to the weakness of the institutions supposed to regulate industry and ultimately ensure that it matches the standards observed by competitors in other countries.

"This is a potential bomb in terms of jobs," said Marco Bentivogli, secretary of the FIM-CISL metalworkers union. "But there shouldn't have to be a choice between jobs and the environment."

Learn These Simple Easy Steps For Home Improvement - Typepad

A breakfast bar makes a charming and functional addition to your home. If your kitchen and den already run together, you can easily add one that will fit nicely into the open space that you enjoy. You can add a quaint breakfast bar with counter and chairs for around five hundred dollars.

If one loves water and swimming then getting their own pool may be just the home improvement thing for them. There are many options for different kinds of pools one can get for their home allowing a custom fit pool for one?s needs. A pool can be just the thing for home improvement.

Childproofing your home can have a lot of great long- term effects. Your child will grow up much healthier if you make sure that your home is safe from harmful gases and contaminating microscopic particles. Such steps to keep your child safe should begin with conception and not after your baby is born.

When it comes to home improvement, think twice about decorating the walls of your house in anything extreme such as a wild color or print. A potential buyer may get a bad impression by seeing a house decorated in a way that is distasteful to them. They may choose to look elsewhere, if they do not want to put in the work to redecorate.

In home improvements the kitchen usually makes up the foundation of the home. Putting in new wooden cabinets along with shiny new faucets and a marble countertop, can immediately add brightness to a room and make it such a much more enjoyable space. This will also make the house more desirable to others if you decide to sell.

If you are looking to recreate your dining room living space, you can sand down your old table and refinish it. While this is a lengthy task, a new finish can make an old table look like new again. If you do this, make sure you take your time so it looks great.

Most of the home improvements that you need done can be done on your own. Hiring a contractor is important if it is an extensive job that takes professional experience. Certain drywall jobs, simple plumbing repairs and interior painting can be done without professional experience. You can save a lot of money by simply doing the repairs yourself.

Store your paint cans upside down. A skin forms inside used cans of paint. When you open the can it?s a mess to remove. One solution is to put the used paint cans in your storage area upside down! That way when you turn the can over and open it, the skin is underneath the paint where it can?t cause a problem.

A great home improvement tip is to not let your ego get in the way when making renovations. Sometimes, a renovation you may have in mind does not need to be done because it could violate a particular building code, or it could even harm the value of your home.

Replace old and outdated sliding glass patio doors with french doors. The look is bold and modern, something that new buyers will really appreciate. It?s the kind of small touch that is quick, easy, and inexpensive but will give you the most bang for your hard earn buck.

When signing a contract with a contractor doing home improvements, look for a place of business for that contractor. A clear sign that something is not up to par with your contractor is when they only give you a phone number for a contact and not a brick and mortar building address. If a problem arises it is very easy for them to just change numbers and start shop elsewhere.

Home improvement has to incorporate research, skill, and detail. It is an activity that takes advantage of your property with the intent of making it better. Don?t be fooled by the simple goal, because it takes work. If you are willing to put in the effort and if you follow the tips, you can do it!

How To Be A Man To A Woman

How To Be A Man To A Woman

If you haven?t had a great track record with women in your past relationships, or even if you are starting a new relationship, you might be wondering if there is a better way to learn how to be a man to a woman. From learning what my partner has taught me, reading about relationships and observing other men whom I admire, I believe that men can learn to be a better person just as much as women.

When I attend self development seminars, there were always more women who attend then men. So I thought why is that?

Men tend to let their ego take control of who they are so much more than women do. Men think that if they seek improvement, then they won?t appear to be man enough.

Being partnered to a Christian of faith, I would like to share what the bible states to be character requirements of men: Be determined and decisive, to pray and ask for guidance, to be courageous, to be humble, to love their partner, to spend quality time with their children, and to have self control towards their desires.

Another word I strongly admire in relation to men is for them to be a gentleman. If you break that up it means exactly what it says ?gentle ? man?. ?Your Dictionary? online also describes the word gentlemen as ?... a man in a high social position, or a man with excellent manners?.

How to be a man to a woman also means to always be honest no matter what. This includes with your feelings towards her, your intentions about how you feel or to have the courage to tell her you are not interested in a relationship when you don?t feel the same way as she might.

Many men who I have dated have continued to see me despite not being as interested as I was for a relationship. Perhaps they didn?t want to be alone, or perhaps there was no other woman around at the moment. But if they had of been honest from the beginning, I would of had a lot more respect for them.

A man should know how he feels about a woman before they even kiss. He should know whether he would like to pursue a serious relationship with her within the first month. The less a man can drag on casually dating a woman, the more respect women will have for him for being honest.

This also means that a man needs to take responsibility for every action he takes towards a woman. By being honest and responsible you are looking after her feelings and her heart. Being responsible also means admitting to mistakes you make as well as pointing out the truth you feel.

When you are thinking about how to be a man to a woman, then you will also need to appreciate her, thank her for the small things she does and take notice when she does do things for you and the relationship. A woman enjoys communicating and talking through her feelings and thoughts. So the best thing a man can do regarding that is to just listen to her when she speaks. He doesn?t even have to offer an opinion, or offer to solve the problem, unless she asks.

So the best way to be a man to a woman is to be a gentleman. If you don?t know how to be a gentleman, then learn and practice. Then next best way to be a man to a woman is to listen to her and look to understand her fully. Other important aspects include kindness, compassion, confidence and giving. Not just giving with your money, but giving with your time that you spend with her and how you can assist her with her needs.
