Canadian forces are actually suffering the most. They're mostly deployed in the southern Kandahar, which adjoins the province of Helmand, where the bulk of British troops are posted. Both are Taliban strongholds.

And, if wounded soldiers are factored in, a shocking picture emerges.

Many other Bauhaus women simply vanished without trace.

The Jeu de Paume in Paris is hosting an exhilarating show featuring the personal collection of Martin Parr along with some of his own series of photographs. Parrworld. The Collection of Martin Parr mixes the everyday absurdities the photographer sees in every aspect of our society with a wonderful taste for contemporary photography and an unusual empathy for the scenes and people he portrayed in "The Guardian Cities Project."

A simple application to allow you to create a curated/moderated updating twitter display at conferences or wherever you choose. The application is designed for pre-moderation only.
