***Thief II: The Metal Age*** is a 2000 stealth video game developed by Looking Glass Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. Like its predecessor *Thief: The Dark Project*, the game follows Garrett, a master thief who works in and around a steampunk metropolis called the City. The player assumes the role of Garrett as he unravels a conspiracy related to a new religious sect. Garrett takes on missions such as burglaries and frameups, while trying to avoid detection by guards and automated security.

*Thief II* received positive reviews from critics, and its initial sales were stronger than those of its predecessor. However, the game's royalties were gained slowly, which made Looking Glass's financial troubles worse. As a result, the company closed in May 2000, with plans for *Thief III* cancelled. The third game in the series, entitled *Thief: Deadly Shadows*, was developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos in 2004. *Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age*, a widely praised expansion mod for *Thief II*, was released in 2005. In 2014, Square Enix published a reboot of the series, developed by Eidos Montréal.

Gameplay
--------

*Thief II* is a stealth game that takes place from a first-person perspective in a three-dimensional (3D) graphical environment. The player seeks to complete mission objectives and to evade the notice of opponents such as guards. The player must minimize the visibility and audibility of the player character, Garrett, to escape detection. Players try to avoid lit areas and loud flooring in favor of shadows and quiet flooring. A light monitor on the heads-up display (HUD) indicates the player character's visibility. While it is possible for the player character to engage in direct combat, he is easily defeated.

Bagel with lettuce, sprouts and avocado.
Bagel half spread with cream cheese.
**Bagels** are a type of bread made with flour. They look like doughnuts, and they are leavened with yeast. They have a crisp, shiny crust and a dense inside. Bagels are glazed, and in a ring-shaped roll. They are different from doughnuts because they are boiled before baked. Bagels are sometimes called "the cement doughnuts". 
The bagel is regarded as a special kind of Jewish food. They are eaten usually for breakfast or a snack.

Bagels are made from the basic bread ingredients of flour, yeast, salt, and sweet kinds of spices. Flour gives the bread its chewy taste, which can be made more light by eggs, milk, and butter. They are the only bread product that is boiled before it is baked.

Serving
-------

Bagels are often toasted in a toaster and then paired with foods like cream cheese (a soft cheese that tastes a little sweet) and jam, or with butter. Bagels can also be used to make sandwiches, with meat (for example smoked salmon) and egg and cheese. Bagel sandwiches are usually eaten for breakfast or lunch.

History
-------

Bagels were formally an obscure ethnic treat found only in the city's Jewish neighourhoods. Bagels were first sold in grocery stores in the 1950s. Frozen bagels were first introduced in 1960.

When Polish Jews went away to America, they brought the beugel with them. The first beugel bakeries were founded in New York City in the 1920s. Later the name was changed and called a bagel. Bagels have been used as a symbol of the continuous cycle of life—without beginning and without end.

In the East End of London, the bagel is known as a beigel, and poplar in many of the areas where many Jewish immigrants first arrived in London in the 19th century, such as Whitechapel and Spitalfields, and Brick Lane in particular, home to the Beigel Bake.
**OpenVMS** is an operating system, which Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) originally developed for their VAX servers. Later, it was ported, and now also runs on DEC Alpha and Itanium-based systems. It is a 32 bit operating system. When it was published in 1977, it was one of the first of its kind. OpenVMS is capable of supporting many users at a time; each user is able to run several programs at the same time. It was also one of the first operating systems with a Graphical user interface, the VAXstation was a very popular workstation at the time. OpenVMS uses virtual memory, and was originally developed as a time sharing, batch processing system. It was made for transaction processing. The jobs users submit can have a higher priority than those of the operating system. The operating system offers high availability through clustering: The system load can be distributed over multiple computers. That way, the system is "disaster-tolerant": One machine that fails will not shut the operation down.

OpenVMS introduced many features that became standard in later operating systems:

* It supported computer networks, first using DECNet, later using TCP/IP
* Symmetrical, asymmetrical, and NUMA multiprocessing, including clustering
* A distributed file system
* An integrated database: first RMS, later Rdb
* Support for different programming languages, including a standardized mechanism of calls between those programming languages
* An extensible Shell
* A high-level of security

Today, OpenVMS is used in many projects where availability and uptime are critical: These include banks and insurance companies. Systems staying active for over a decade have been reported. A feature called "rolling upgrade" allows to upgrade software or hardware without the need to shut the system down. A data center that is destroyed will not lead to downtime either, if the system is configured properly. Customers using OpenVMS include banks and financial services, hospitals and healthcare, network information services, and large-scale industrial manufacturers of various products.
**Elsie "Elsa" Katz** (born **Elsie Taussig**; (1892-11-15)15 November 1892 – (1944-08-06)6 August 1944) was a Czech-born Jewish woman who kept a diary documenting daily life of inmates in the Theresienstadt Ghetto during World War II. She began writing the diary in 1943 after her eldest daughter Eva died from disease in the ghetto. The diary is written in 1943 and 1944. The diary was first discovered in August 1944 (the same month she died), by Elsa's daughter Vera in her mother Elsa's bed. After the war ended, Vera made her mother's diary available for publication.

Biography
---------

Elsie Katz was born as Elsie Taussig on (1892-11-15)15 November 1892 in Prague, Austria-Hungary (modern-day Czech Republic). As a adult, she married Hugo Lederer, but when their marriage relationship ended (because he died or they got divorced), she married Sigefried Katz.
They had two daughters, Eva (the oldest) and Vera (the youngest), ranging from 1924 to 1926. Their lives were disrupted by the German invasion of Bohemia and Moravia (provinces of Czechoslovakia) in March 1939. When those provinces surrendered, the Germans began occupying Bohemia and Moravia. Over the years, the persecution and deportation of the Jews began. On 8 May 1942, Elsa, her mother, her husband and their two daughters were put on transport to Theresienstadt. Elsa's mother was in a semi-conscious state, when they arrived in the ghetto, and therefore died shortly after. After her, Elsa's daughter Eva died one year later in 1943 from disease. 
The conditions of the ghetto were so horrible that Elsa, and many other inmates, catched tuberculosis and later got gravely ill and weak.

Death
-----

In the first week of August 1944, the Nazis ordered inmates who had tuberculosis to be sent to Auschwitz, so they can die in the gas chambers. Vera wanted to go to Auschwitz with her mother Elsa, so she would not be alone, so Vera asked a Nazi guard whether she could go too, but to their surprise, the guard allowed both Elsa and her daughter Vera to stay behind in the Theresienstadt Ghetto. Elsa died sometime later on 6 August 1944, from tuberculosis, at the age of 51. Her body was later buried. Her husband died in the Theresienstadt Ghetto in 1944 (the same year Elsa died). The same month her mother died, Vera discovered a notebook in Elsa's bed. When she opened and read it, she found out that it was a diary which was written by her mother.
**Larry** is a cat who has served as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office of the United Kingdom at 10 Downing Street since 2011. He is a brown-and-white tabby, believed to have been born in January 2007. By July 2016, when Theresa May became prime minister, he had developed a reputation of being "violent" in his interactions with other local mousers, especially the Foreign Office's much younger cat Palmerston. His Prime Minister's are David Cameron and Boris Johnson. And his monarch is Elizabeth II.

Health
------

Since being a kitten, Larry has been in good health and has lived over the average of other cats. 

In January 2016 Larry had suffered an infection, which he later recovered from. 

On the 24th September 2023, it was reported that Larry was seriously ill. 10 Downing Street are currently in the process of preparing his death.

Early life
----------

Larry is a rescued stray cat from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home who was chosen by Downing Street staff. Larry was intended to be a pet for the children of David and Samantha Cameron, and was described by Downing Street sources as a "good ratter" and as having "a high chase-drive and hunting instinct". In 2012, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home revealed that Larry's popularity had resulted in a surge of 15% more people adopting cats.

Career
------

### Official duties

Larry outside Ten Downing Street
The Downing Street website describes Larry's duties as "greeting guests to the house, inspecting security defences, and testing antique furniture for napping quality". It says he is "contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house" and has told Downing Street that such a solution is still in the "tactical planning stage".

Unlike his predecessors since 1929, Larry's upkeep is funded by the staff of 10 Downing Street. Fund-raising events to pay for his food are believed to have included a quiz night for Downing Street staff held in the state rooms.

### Work as a Chief Mouser

He made his first known kill – a mouse – on 22 April 2011. On 28 August 2012, Larry made his first public killing, dropping his prey on the lawn in front of Number 10. In October 2013, Larry caught four mice in two weeks and one staff member rescued a mouse from his clutches.

In July 2015, George Osborne and Cabinet Office Minister Matt Hancock cornered a mouse in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's office, trapping it in a brown paper sandwich bag. The press joked that the Chancellor of the Exchequer might take over the Chief Mouser position. Freya (cat) is the queen

David Cameron explained during his final Prime Minister's Questions in 2016 that Larry is a civil servant and not personal property, so would not leave Downing Street after a change of premier. Larry has retained his position with the Boris Johnson administration.

**Trichloroethylene** is a chemical compound with the formula C  
2HCl  
3. It is known as **TCE** for short. TCE is pleasant-smelling colourless liquid. TCE is used as a solvent to dissolve oils. It was previously used in anaesthesia after chloroform, TCE for use in anaesthesia was dyed blue so it would not be confused with chloroform which smells, weighs and looks the same. It was sold under the name *Trilene*. 

Bottle of trichloroethylene for anaesthesia, from the United Kingdom
TCE was a very common dry cleaning solvent but it was way too strong and caused damage to clothes. Dry cleaners today use the safer perchloroethylene (PCE). TCE is still sometimes used as a stain remover.

TCE is used as a solvent to clean oils from metals but it can break down in presence of metals so producers add various chemicals into commercial TCE to prevent any unwanted reactions.

Breathing trichloroethylene vapours can cause unconsciousness. It should be used in well-ventilated places. Its effects are similar to being drunk with alcohol. It can harm the liver in long time.
**Étienne Pierre Ventenat** (1 March 1757 – 13 August 1808) was a French botanist born in Limoges. He was the brother of naturalist Louis Ventenat (1765–1794). 

Ventenat took a trip to England while he was employed as director of the ecclesiastic library Sainte-Geneviève in Paris. While in England, he visited the country's botanical gardens. This inspired him to pursue a career in science. Later he studied under and worked with a botanist named Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle (1746–1800). In 1795, he was elected a member of the *Institut national des sciences et des arts*. They later changed their name to be the *Académie des sciences*. 

In 1794 he wrote a treatise on the principles of botany. It was called *Principes de botanique, expliqués au Lycée républicain par Ventenat*. It did not receive much interest when it was released, and Ventenat became so disappointed that he reportedly made efforts to buy all copies of the book and have them destroyed. In 1798 he published a French translation of Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu's *Genera plantarum* as *Tableau du règne végétal selon la méthode de Jussieu*. In his translation of the work, Ventenat added information about the properties and uses of plants.

In 1799 he published *Description des plantes nouvelles et peu connues, cultivées dans le jardin de J.-M. Cels*. This book described plants in the botanical garden of Jacques Philippe Martin Cels (1740–1806). In 1803 he published *Le Jardin de la Malmaison* because Joséphine de Beauharnais (1763–1814) asked him to write it. He wanted to make sure the rare species of plants found in the gardens and greenhouses of Château de Malmaison were remembered forever. The pictures and drawings in the two aforementioned works were performed by famed botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840). Ventenat is also credited with continuing the work on Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard's *Histoire des champignons de la France*. This was a landmark (very important) work on mushrooms native to France.

Albers on a postage stamp.
**Josef Albers** (March 19, 1888 – March 25, 1976) was a German-born American artist and educator. His work in Europe and the United States was highly influential and far-reaching. His ideas formed the basis of many art education programs in the 20th century.

Life
----

Albers was born in Bottrop, Westphalia, Germany. He studied art in Berlin, Essen, and Munich, before enrolling as a student at the prestigious Weimar Bauhaus in 1920. He began teaching in the preliminary course of the Department of Design in 1922, and was promoted to Professor in 1925, the year the Bauhaus moved to Dessau. His work at this time included designing furniture and working with glass.

With the closure of the Bauhaus under Nazi pressure in 1933, Albers emigrated to the United States. In 1950 Albers was appointed head of the Department of Design at Yale University. In 1963 he published *Interaction of color* which presented his theory that colors were governed by an internal and deceptive logic. A key idea, which he proved by examples, was that our perception of color is not constant. It is influenced by the juxtaposition (placing together) of one color with another. This interested artists interested in optical illusions (Op art).

Albers is best remembered for his work as an abstract painter and theorist. Most famous of all are the hundreds of paintings and prints that make up the series *Homage to the Square*. In this rigorous series, begun in 1949, Albers explored chromatic interactions with flat colored squares arranged inside each other. This was a union of geometric abstraction with experiments in color.

Simulation of coin tosses: Each frame, a coin is flipped which is red on one side and blue on the other. The result of each flip is added as a colored dot in the corresponding column. As the pie chart shows, the *proportion* of red versus blue approaches 50-50. The difference between red and blue dots is never zero.
The term **Gambler's fallacy** refers to a misconception about statistics. It is also known **Monte Carlo fallacy** or **fallacy of the maturity of chances**. In statistics, a random event has a certain probability of occurring. The fallacy is that if the event has occurred more frequently in the past, it will occur less frequently in the future; or that if it has been less frequent in the past, it will be more frequent in the future.

Childbirth
----------

As early as 1796, the idea of the gambler's fallacy was used to "predict" the sex of children. In his work *A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities*, published in 1796, Pierre-Simon Laplace wrote of the ways in which men calculated their probability of having sons:"I have seen men [who wanted to have] a son, who could learn only with anxiety of the births of boys in the month when they expected to become fathers. Imagining that the ratio of these births to those of girls ought to be the same at the end of each month, they judged that the boys already born would render more probable the births next of girls." In short, the expectant fathers feared that if more sons were born in the surrounding community, then they themselves would be more likely to have a daughter.

Some expectant parents believe that, after having multiple children of the same sex, they are "due" to have a child of the opposite sex. While the Trivers–Willard hypothesis predicts that birth sex is dependent on living conditions (i.e. more male children are born in "good" living conditions, while more female children are born in poorer living conditions), the probability of having a child of either sex is still generally regarded as near 50%.
**Ellis Park** is a sports stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is also known as **Coca-Cola Park**.

The **American Shorthair** is a breed of cat. This breed was first used as ship's cats that sailed from Europe to North America with early settlers. They kept the ships free of mice and rats and protected the food and cargo. Even the Mayflower carried several cats to hunt the ship’s rats, in 1620. The cats who were still alive after landing in the New World had kittens. Over time, the breed changed so the cats could survive better in their new land and climate.

Appearance
----------

The American Shorthair is a working cat. It has a large and strong body. It is usually healthy, calm and loving with its owners. This cat is friendly and not shy with strangers. Males weigh eleven to fifteen pounds. Females weigh eight to twelve pounds. It takes three or four years for them to become adult cats. With a good diet and good care, they can live 15 years or longer.

The American Shorthair comes in more than eighty different colors and patterns. These include a brown-patched tabby, a blue-eyed white, shaded silvers, smokes and calicos. Some even come in deep shades of black or brown. Only hybrid cats that are chocolate, sable, lavender, lilac, or a Siamese pattern are not allowed in cat shows.

Behavior
--------

American Shorthairs are intelligent cats who are interested in what is happening around them. They will watch outdoor birds, other animals and other activity from an inside window perch. These cats are calm but playful. Some enjoy sitting in laps. They get along with children, so they make good family pets. American Shorthairs are social cats, but still like to have their own way. They use their hunting skills to catch insects or pests that come into the house.

History
-------

In the early 20th century, a breeding program was started to develop the best qualities of these cats who came from Europe. Before, there had not been a lot of mixed breeds that had the American Shorthair background.

The American Shorthair cat now has standards set by cat fanciers of the breed. The breed is accepted by all North American cat registries. In 1966, the breed was given the name "American Shorthair". This was to separate the pure breed cat from the many mixed domestic short-haired cats that live all over North America. All these short haired cats are called "working cats" because they were used to catch rodents on ships and farms.

**Lalon Shah Bridge** is the second longest bridge in Bangladesh. Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia inaugurated the bridge at a ceremony held at Paksey. The bridge directly connects the north-western and south-western regions of the country by road. The river Padma had separated the two regions.

The 1.8 K.M long bridge has been constructed parallel to historic Hardinge Railway Bridge over the river Padma with the financial assistance from Japan. To construct the bridge, the Government of Japan through JBIC extended soft ODA Yen loan to Bangladesh in two phases. The first phase loan agreement was signed between Bangladesh and Japan on July 01, 1997 while the second phase loan agreement on March 31, 2001. The total cost of the bridge is US $ 184 million of which JBIC contributed US $ 141 million, which is about 80% of the total cost.

An inauguration ceremony was held at the bridge site at Paksey on May 18, 2004. Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia was the Chief Guest while Ambassador of Japan to Bangladesh H.E. Mr. Matsushiro Horiguchi spoke as the special guest. Mr. Ryutaro Koga, Deputy Director General of JBIC Tokyo read out the message from JBIC Governor Mr. Kyosuke Shinozawa in the ceremony. Mr. Tsutomu Uchida, Chief Representative of JBIC Dhaka was present, among others, in the function.

The Lalon Shah Bridge has some of the deepest concrete piles in the world and the longest continuous segmental deck in the world, erected by using the balanced cantilever technique.

**Electrical wiring in the UK** refers to setups in buildings like homes, offices, and factories for using electricity. This also includes special places like marinas. But it doesn't include sending electricity over long distances. These setups differ based on factors like voltage, phase, cable type, and circuit design.

Rules for electrical wiring safety are overseen by regulations like the Building Regulations 2010 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. These rules specify standards for things like wiring. The specific guidelines are found in BS 7671 Requirements for Electrical Installations (IET Wiring Regulations), currently in its 18th edition.

Wiring colours
--------------

As of 2006, the standard wiring colors in the UK are the same as in the rest of Europe, following the international standard IEC 60446. This color pattern was initially used for appliance cords in the UK in the early 1970s. However, the original red/black color scheme recommended by the IEE for permanent wiring was used until 2006, though a change to a green/yellow striped wire for grounding was made in 1976. The international standard blue/brown scheme is now commonly seen in most appliance cords. In permanent wiring, the blue/brown arrangement is only present in newer installations after 2004, and the old IEE red/black scheme is likely to continue in existing installations for many more years.

|  | Pre-1977 IEE | Pre-2004 IEE | Current IEC |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Protective earth (PE) |  |  |  |
| Neutral (N) |  |  |  |
| Single phase | Line (L) |  |  |  |
| Three-phase |   L1 |  |  |  |
| L2 |  |  |  |
| L3 |  |  |  |

The standard colours in fixed wiring were harmonised in 2004 with the regulations in other European countries and the international IEC 60446 standard. For a transitional period (April 2004 – March 2006) either set of colours were allowed (but not both), provided that any changes in the colour scheme are clearly labelled. From April 2006, only the new colours should be used for any new wiring.
The **Javanese calendar** is the calendar used by the Javanese people. It is used together with two other calendars, the Gregorian calendar and the Islamic calendar. The Gregorian calendar is the official calendar of the Republic of Indonesia and civil society, while the Islamic calendar is used by Muslims and the Indonesian government for religious worship and deciding connected Islamic holidays.

The Javanese calendar is used by the main ethnicities of Java island—that is, the Javanese, Madurese, and Sundanese people—mainly as a cultural icon and identifier, and as a maintained tradition of antiquity. The Javanese calendar is used for cultural and spiritual purposes.

The epoch of the Javanese Calendar was in the year 125 CE (AD 125).

The current system of the Javanese calendar was started by Sultan Agung of Mataram in the Gregorian year 1633 CE. Before this, the Javanese had used the Śaka calendar, which has its epoch in 78 CE and uses the lunisolar cycle for calculating time. Sultan Agung's calendar kept the Saka calendar year system of counting, but differs by using the same lunar year measurement system as the Islamic calendar, rather than the solar year. Occasionally, the Javanese calendar is referred to by its Latin name ***Anno Javanico*** or **AJ** (Javanese Year).

History
-------

Birman cats are said to have originated in Burma, and there was treated like a sacred cat. A story was made, "Originally, the guardians of the Temple of LaoTsun were yellow-eyed white cats with long hair. The golden goddess of the temple, Tsun-Kyan-Kse, had deep blue eyes. The head priest, Mun-Ha, had as his companion a beautiful cat named Sinh. One day the temple was attacked and Mun-Ha was killed. At the moment of his death, Sinh placed his feet on his master. The cat’s white fur took on a golden cast; his eyes turned as blue as the eyes of the goddess, and his face, legs and tail became the color of earth. However, his paws, where they touched the priest, remained white as a symbol of purity. All the other temple cats became similarly colored. Seven days later, Sinh died, taking the soul of Mun-Ha to paradise."
Kharagpur is a big city in West Bengal, India, 120 km west of Kolkata. It's known for having the oldest and largest Indian Institute of Technology, IIT Kharagpur. It also has one of India's biggest railway workshops and the fourth longest railway platform in the world at Kharagpur Junction.

History
=======

Kharagpur got its name from King Kharga Malla. It used to be part of the Hijli Kingdom, ruled by various dynasties including Hindu Odia rulers and later the Mughals. Back then, Kharagpur was a small village surrounded by forests, while Hijli was a nearby port town. In 1687, Captain Nicolson, an English colonialist, captured Hijli, but due to losses in a war with the Mughals, Job Charnock left. This eventually led to the establishment of the East India Company in India. In the 19th century, the British created what we now know as Kharagpur. Another port town, Khejuri, was established in the 18th century but was destroyed by a cyclone in 1864. Today, Kharagpur is a small part of what was once the Hijli Province.

A specially-designed airplane spraying pesticides over a field
A **pesticide** is a chemical that is used to kill or prevent small animals (or organisms) which are considered to be unwanted. These organisms are called pests. Some of these pests that people do not want are insects, microbes that destroy plants, and other things that affect humans in a bad way and it may kill humans too. Many pesticides are poisonous, and are bad for not only the organisms they kill, but for humans too. A pesticide also affects the environment
and the atmosphere. 

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants lists chemicals that are very hard to destroy, or very toxic. In total, twelve chemicals are listed. Nine of them can be used as pesticides.

Types of Pesticides
-------------------

There are different types of pesticides for getting rid of different pests.

* Herbicides kill weeds
* Insecticides kill insects that eat plants and crops
* Fungicides kill any bad fungi

Effects of Pesticides
---------------------

Pesticides are used to kill pests, but many are bad for human health. They may pollute water, and go into rivers, lakes, and ponds. This will cause acid rain, and organisms living in the water can get sick and die, because the water where they live has more acid.

Pesticide 
runoff
 is very bad for animals, especially amphibians.

Alternatives
------------

In many cases, there are alternatives to the use of (chemical) pesticides. These include:

* Use of genetic engineering
* Release of other organisms to control the pests, such as predators or parasites. That way, ducks can be used in rice fields to act against snails, for example
* Some foods can be processed and used to control certain pest
* Use of polycultures, that is growing many different crops together, rather than just one crop.
**Jean Peyrelevade** (born 24 October 1939 in Marseille), is a French civil servant, politician and business leader.

Biography
---------

He always presented himself as a man of center-left.

Appointed in 1981 deputy chief of staff of Pierre Mauroy and economic advisor of Prime Minister, he manages nationalization, while professing his skepticism about their interest.

Long time economics teacher at the *École Polytechnique*, he has written books about the evolution of contemporary capitalism, including *Le capitalism total* published through the think tank of *La République des idées* in 2005. Denouncing in this book an extreme form of capitalism, he proposes to ban stock options as part of executive compensation to avoid conflicts of interest and offer better dividends to existing shareholders to limit the round- speculative return.

He argues Francois Bayrou at the French presidential election of 2007, and joined his campaign team, particularly to address the economic program. In 2008, at the municipal elections, he led the MoDem list in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, which collects 8.64% of votes in the first round, ranking fourth. Only elected on its list, he is borough councilor. June 13, 2008, he was appointed vice president of the MoDem for economic issues. He resigned from the board of the 16th arrondissement of Paris the 6th of January 2009 and of all his functions within the MoDem at the same time. He no longer has any ties partisan but an active participant of *Terra Nova (think tank)*, the think tank of the left.

In an opinion published in *Le Figaro*, he advocated a separation between bank deposit and investment bank to regulate the financial system to prevent another financial crisis. He said the bank is a real public service, which must be managed as such.

On 7 September 2011, he says support the candidacy of François Hollande to the French Socialist Party presidential primary, 2011. During summer schools of MoDem the 17th of September 2011 and during radio interviews, Jean Peyrelevade said he would vote for Manuel Valls in the first round and - probably - for Francois Hollande in the second round. Jean Peyrelevade recognizes to Manuel Valls the quality of being politically incorrect when he speaks about "35 hours" as a major error on which we must return. On January 5, 2012, he states that he changed his mind "Bayrou's speech is more consistent, clearer". He is a member of the campaign strategy of François Bayrou and says that we need a period of wage moderation to revive French competitiveness.
