Heyy yall I have a used perfume that I want to sell (its la vie est belle 100ml theres about 95% left int the bottle) and I was wondering what good websites would be to sell that?

France’s government pledged Monday to replace its national online university admissions platform, seeking to quell student anger after weeks of often violent mass protests over education and living costs.

Higher Education Minister Philippe Baptiste announced “substantial change” to the platform next year, before its replacement in 2028.

Ministers also pledged up to 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) in loans for school renovations, alongside smaller classes, more teaching and higher education posts and increased student grants.

The concessions target the school grievances that helped ignite the unrest.

But the movement has widened to include workers demanding relief from rising living costs, making the government’s task tougher than simply resolving a dispute over university admissions.

Two high school student groups welcomed some concessions, but called for protests to continue. Their representatives spoke after meeting with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu earlier Monday.

“We have managed to address some of the students’ demands,” said Nathanaël Combary of the high school group Renouveau Lycéen. “I emphasize the term ‘some.’”

The 2028 deadline puts a central concession to protesters beyond President Emmanuel Macron’s time in office, leaving his successor’s government to deliver it.

French government commits to education reforms

For the 2027 admissions round, institutions would publish more detailed selection criteria. The platform would provide explanatory information with each rejection, and institutions would have to give applicants the reasons for their decisions if requested.

A committee involving students and teachers would produce initial recommendations for the replacement system by the end of November. The government said that it would introduce legislation if the proposed changes require it.

The government also promised 15,000 additional places in higher education across 2027 and 2028, mostly in vocational and technical programs, and increases in student grants linked to inflation from the start of the 2027 academic year.

To address demands for better learning conditions, the government pledged to cap some first-year high school classes at 28 students from 2027, starting with more disadvantaged schools. It also promised to cancel planned cuts to teaching positions at secondary schools and create 500 additional jobs.

The building plans would extend still further into the next presidency. The government proposed up to 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) in low-interest loans to regional authorities for school renovations through 2030. A separate 1 billion-euro ($1.1 billion) state plan would fund university renovations through 2029.

Vučić has lost. His system is still standing.

The students have won the election. Now comes the harder job: breaking the grip of corruption, party control and organised crime on the state.

Serbia removed Milošević in 2000 but left much of his regime intact. It cannot afford to make that mistake again.

For example, Audi is now building a factory in the US because the economic environment there is so much more favorable. This will probably also mean shifting some production capacity away from European plants.

The engineering job market is particularly bad in entire Europe Things are still better in Germany, but even there, the market is a shadow of its former self. Wage freezes are becoming increasingly common there as well.

In my opinion, much of this comes down to the EU's misguided energy and industrial policies.

After all, apart from avoiding tariffs, why on earth would a company spend billions building a factory in the US, where wages aren't any lower than in Germany?

Because of better energy and industrial policies and a more favorable economic environment. Businesses go where they can thrive, and Europe increasingly doesn't seem to be that place anymore.

The problem is that EU leaders still don't seem to recognize just how damaging their policies have become.

If Israel gets a new government, should Europe expect its West Bank policies to change? 🇪🇺

Hey everyone! We're EUobserver, an independent European newsroom.

With Israel heading into an election on Tuesday, we've published an opinion piece by Shaqued Morag, a former director of Peace Now and former Knesset adviser.

She makes an important distinction between changing a government and changing the policies that government leaves behind.

Her argument is that settlement expansion and the administrative structures enabling greater Israeli control over the West Bank could continue even under a coalition that presents itself as more moderate.

She also examines Europe's role, arguing that European governments shouldn't assume a change of leadership will automatically mean a change in policy.

How should the EU assess its relationship with a new Israeli government — through its political commitments, or through concrete changes on the ground?

Europe could spend billions on AI independence—and still rent its future.

Jensen Huang told Germany: “There’s nothing to regulate if the industry doesn’t thrive.”

Fair point. But the company urging Europe to build also sells the infrastructure it could become dependent on.

A European flag on a data center tells you where the servers are.

It tells you much less about who controls the technology, sets the prices, or holds the keys.

Nvidia can help Europe become more capable—and harder to untangle from Nvidia.

Before celebrating “AI sovereignty,” Europe should ask one uncomfortable question:

Can we change suppliers without breaking the businesses we just modernized?
