The present service is owned and operated by 2L Multimedia, SAS, registered in the trade and companies register of Annecy, under number rcs 439 055 591, with registered offices at Park Nord Les Pléiades n°33 - 74370 EPAGNY-METZ-TESSY – France, represented by its current chairman.
2L Multimedia has developed an online dating service. 2L Multimedia therefore provides an online platform to visitors, where they can communicate amongst them and therefore plays the role of technical service provider. The service is neither a consultancy nor a dating agency, and does not organise encounters between its members. The service is exclusively reserved to members registered on the platform in compliance with the present rules.
The members confirm having received all necessary documentation on the proposed services from 2L Multimedia and comply without reservation to the present service terms and conditions.
The members recognise that the use of the platform requires compliance with all the provisions defined in the present contract.
The members can benefit from the services proposed on the platform subject to compliance with the following prerequisites:
The terms below will have the following meaning among the parties:
The objective of the present document is to define the conditions of use of the services proposed by 2L Multimedia.
The mandatory contractual documents for members are: The present service terms and conditions; The data-processing and liberties rules of service; The ethical charter of the service.
In case of contradiction between documents of different nature or rank, it is explicitly agreed between the parties that the provisions of higher rank contained in the document shall prevail for obligations in a conflict of interpretation. In case of contradiction between terms of documents of the same rank, the latest documents shall prevail on the others.
Rank criteria will be applied according to the following principles:
The present terms and conditions are opposable as soon as they are accepted by the member when subscribing to the service.
2L Multimedia reserves the right to modify the present terms and conditions as it considers necessary and useful. It shall do its utmost to inform members of the existence and date of application of new terms and conditions.
Any use of the service by the member within 30 days after a modification of the terms and conditions confirms the latter accepts those new terms and conditions.
The member may end using the service but remains responsible for any anterior use.
Members can access archived terms of use upon request by e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com
The online terms and conditions on the platform prevail on any earlier printed version.
Access to the Service is reserved to persons registered on the platform.
To open an account and become a member, the user must previously register via the online form on the platform.
Two registration procedures are available:
Registration via facebook connect; Registration via online form.
To facilitate the service registration process, the user can use the identification information of his/her natural person facebook account and entering its username and password.
With the facebook connect application the fields to be completed will be automatically filled with the information taken from the user facebook account, under his sole responsibility.
The use of the facebook connect application is a simple technical feature provided to the user to facilitate his/her registration and complete the registration fields for the service: facebook connect is a third party service to the service and 2L Multimedia does not in any way guarantee the correct operation and reliability of the information obtained through that application.
No information on the registration to the service will be displayed on the facebook account of the user.
The service registration procedure via the online form on the platform consists of the following steps:
Step 1: the user completes a registration form by completing the required fields - some are mandatory - depending on the services selected by the user. Some requested information builds the user profile and can be accessed by other members of the service: they must be correct and regularly updated.
Step 2: the user acknowledges and accepts the terms and conditions of the service by ticking the appropriate box; if the user does not accept the service terms and conditions, he/she shall stop the registration process and immediately leave the platform;
Step 3: once the profile is correctly informed, the user validates the form and receives a confirmation email at the supplied email address.
Once the user has confirmed the registration, he/she becomes a member of the service subject to formal acceptance of the present terms and conditions.

As soon as the service is subscribed to, the member profile is displayed as 'pending': during that variable period, the member profile is checked by 2L Multimedia to ascertain that the data and information supplied by the member meet the present terms and conditions and the ethical charter of the service. Finally, the user is offered the exclusive power to multiply his chances of finding love through the orientation on other sites if already registered or wants more contact.
If the terms and conditions are not complied with, the member is informed by email of the rejection of the profile and is proposed to modify it. If the member does not modify the profile in comformity with the terms and conditions 2L Multimedia reserves the right to definitively refuse it.
Acceptance of the profile does not validate its content, nor does it mean 2L Multimedia recognises its lawfulness.

"Once again, absolutely nothing enters the Public Domain this year". [04jan11]
A new landscape of possibilities for research and education in the humanities. [17dec10]
The second edition of the Public Domain Day celebration was organized at Warsaw's National Library by the Coalition for Open Education, a group of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the fields of education, science and culture and promote open access to knowledge. Attended by representatives of NGOs, libraries, cultural institutions and lawyers, the debate focused on the current state of the resource-sharing culture in Poland.
During the event, members of the Coalition also hosted a multimedia presentation on the public domain, held a workshop on cultural resource sharing led by Dr. Alek Tarkowski (Creative Commons) and Jaroslaw Lipszyc (Modern Poland Foundation). Piotr Waglowski introduced a legal analysis of problems related to the public domain.
The most important concern emerging seems to be the lack of public domain protection, thus creating a ripple effect with difficulties and problems at each step. In Poland the whole issue is poorly understood and supported, starting with its very legislation: the translator of the Berne Convention (to which Poland is a signatory) used the official term of 'nation public ownership'. [11jan10]
While digital libraries provided historical source materials also involving National schools and social networks, some publishers took advantage of those works entering the Public Domain on 1. January 2010: Jirafa Roja Publishing House just released a special edition of "Narkotyki" ("Drugs") by Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz. Actually his works were already in the public domain but the 2001 copyright extension law (70 years after the author death) prevented them to be freely used for another 8 years. Ans similar controversies abound in the cultural landscape.
Another problem is the technical security or works' appropriation by a commercial database, which may restrict access to works in the public domain works, regardless of the principles of law. These actions are controversial, because according to globally accepted principles, nothing can hinder access and define the scope of use of works for which protection has expired.
During the public debate, various speakers pointed to the worrying trend of extending copyright indefinitely, thus threatening the efforts made so far by education and culture institutions to expand access to culture and arts, which in turn might result in increasing the cost of education.
Overall the Public Domain Day celebrations demonstrated that an actual public domain environment requires a series of complex and mutually dependent regulations. Activities aimed at introducing a system of legal protection in the public domain are grounded in legislation. Abandoning these actions could only increase the erosion of the whole system based on open access and free use of cultural goods.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- British actor Sacha Baron Cohen says director Martin Scorsese intended to create an enchanting, intelligent work of art with their new family movie "Hugo" and wasn't concerned little ones might find it too long to sit through at 127 minutes.
Scorsese's adaptation of Brian Selznick's 530-page children's novel "The Inventions of Hugo Cabret" is earning rave reviews from critics. It was No. 5 at the U.S. box office during the Thanksgiving weekend, even though it played on 1,277 screens -- about a third of the number of screens on which each of the other films in the Top 5 could be found.
"It seems to me, Marty makes films for himself. He is an artist, a true artist, and he makes the movie that he wants to see. My first line in the movie had the word 'malfeasance' in it, which I barely understood, and I said, 'Aren't you worried some children won't understand that, let alone the grown ups?' And he said, 'No, it's the right word to use there,'" Cohen told reporters during a recent press conference in New York.
Scorsese "is one of the last remaining artists and I think we should respect that," the actor added.
"The movie is not focus-grouped and it's not tailored for a 7-year-old in Iowa or Berlin or anywhere to appreciate," Cohen said. "Marty made a work of art in the same way [pioneering French filmmaker Georges] Melies did. I think that's a beautiful thing and an incredible achievement for a filmmaker to be able to do that."
"Hugo" is about an orphaned boy, played by Asa Butterfield, who secretly lives in the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris and takes care of all its clocks. Hugo, who has a gift for fixing broken machines, strikes up a friendship with the once-great but forgotten filmmaker Georges Melies, as well as his wife, Jeanne, and their goddaughter Isabelle, played by Ben Kingsley, Helen McCrory and Chloe Grace Moretz, respectively.
Cohen plays a by-the-books train station inspector who rounds up unattended children and either returns them to their parents or sends them to the local orphanage.
The actor acknowledges the inspector is Hugo's nemesis but insists he is not a villain. Instead, Cohen surmised, he is a decent man trying to fulfill his purpose.
"When I first approached the character, I wanted to know why was he so obsessed with chasing children," the actor explained. "Was he a classic villain? Or was there a reason for his malice? And I sat with [screenwriter] John [Logan] and Marty and we started to talk about how he was a World War I veteran and maybe he was injured and we came up with the leg brace. Originally, it was a false leg which the audience wouldn't have realized until the first chase and I would turn a corner and my leg would fly off into the camera in 3-D. Unfortunately, practically, I was made aware that I would have to strap up my leg for four months in order to do that and I wasn't prepared to do that and, ultimately, we used a leg brace."
Cohen said he and the filmmakers decided the inspector might himself have been orphaned as a child and raised in a workhouse.
"And this was the only structure he knew and that's what he tried to impose on these young children," the actor said.
Cohen also confessed he enjoyed playing a character so different from those he portrayed in his outrageous R-rated comedies "Borat" and "Bruno." He said he was particularly fond of how the inspector demonstrates his humanity through his budding romance with a lovely flower girl named Lisette, played by Emily Mortimer.
"We didn't actually have a kissing scene, but there was a bit of romance in there. So that was a little bit different," Cohen noted. "He's a bumbling authority figure. And he's dark, but he does have some beauty and softness underneath him. So a bit like my other characters. You know, he's a mix of things."

Abortion Myths
Many myths about abortion have been created by people who are against choice.
Fertility problems
Safe abortion does not increase the risk of future infertility or pregnancy problems. Sexually transmitted diseases and unsafe abortions do increase these risks.
Medical problems
There is no evidence of any medical problems related to safe abortion. Opponents of abortion use selective, biased and unscientific interpretation of research to try to suggest that there is an increased risk of breast cancer.
Psychological problems
For most women the decision to have an abortion is difficult and may provoke feelings of sadness or guilt. Still, most women also feel relieved afterward. There is no evidence of increased risk of long term 'post-abortion' stress, depression, anxiety, or any other psychological illness.

The World Water Forum, organized every three years by the World Water Council in close collaboration with the authorities of the hosting country, is the largest international event in the field of water. It primarily serves four main purposes:
The successive editions of the World Water Forum have served as stepping-stones towards global collaboration on water problems. The Forum offers the water community and decision-makers from all over the world the unique opportunity to make recommendations for ensuring the security of water resources in the different parts of the world.
The 1st World Water Forum was held in Marrakech, Morocco, in 1997. This Forum led to the preparation of a "Vision for Water, Life and the Environment in the 21st Century", whose results were discussed during the 2nd World Water Forum in 2000 in The Hague, Netherlands. A great number of Governments and organisations from the water sector committed themselves to work towards its concretisation. As a privileged witness of these commitments, the Council has since verified the implementation of promised actions in this direction.
In March 2003, the 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto, Japan, clearly stated its resolution to involve all stakeholders through, for example, the creation of a "Virtual Water Forum" and the gathering of thousands of testimonies within the "Voices of Water." The Council, following its commitments made at the 2nd World Water Forum, presented its "World Water Actions" Report: an inventory of 3000 actions on the ground. By gathering more than 24,000 participants, the 3rd World Water Forum was the largest water-related event ever organised. One hundred and thirty ministers attended the Ministerial Conference. Several hundred commitments were made both during the Forum and during the Ministerial Conference. Each session-organiser was also asked to formulate a list of concrete actions to be set up in the near future.
For the 4th edition, the World Water Forum was organised for the first time on the American continent in Mexico City, gathering approximately 20,000 participants.

Heads up! We're working hard to be accurate – but these are unusual times, so please always check before heading out.
The new street-art class
These seven artists are doing their part to make NYC more beautiful.
Dan Witz
Who he is: Having worked on the street since 1978, Witz's style has evolved with police enforcement. "I used to paint tiny hummingbirds that took two hours to do, but the zero-tolerance graffiti policies of the '90s forced me to adapt," he says. "Now I paint them on plastic and install the pieces on-site in under 10 seconds. These new techniques have actually helped me do way more street art than if Giuliani had left well enough alone." Look behind grates on highway interchanges and buildings for Witz's creepy, trompe l'oeil "WTF" paintings, which resemble human parts lurking in the darkness. The artist always has a new project in the pipeline: "The Williamsburg and Bushwick area is like a giant self-replenishing collage," he says. "I can't resist."
RECOMMENDED: Street art and graffiti guide
Where his work has been:
1. Suicide Girl: Find it at a secret location on the Van Wyck Expressway. Says Witz, "Keep an eye out for it on the way to JFK."
2. West Side Highway, NYC: It's located on the eponymous highway, but as for the exact location, Witz is mum—you'll have to hunt it down.
Who he is: XAM is a whimsical mainstay in the street-art scene. Last year, he began building and painting small, hardwood birdhouses and attaching them to street signs. Since August, he's installed more than 25 in Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods ranging from Bushwick to the Upper East Side—including in front of the Guggenheim and MoMA—though they rarely stay up long. His newer birdhouses will have a barcode; when you scan it with a smartphone you can immediately download facts about the wrens, swallows or warblers that would use the houses. "I want people to question morality," XAM says. "Yes, my work is illegally placed in public, but should [poeple] take it down? It expands the audience of street art and brings birds back to the urban environment." He plans to drop 30 more birdhouses in a mystery areas this spring.
Where his work has been:
1. CSD Dwelling Unit 1.6: In front of the MoMA
2. CSD Dwelling Unit 1.6: In front the Whitney Museum of Art
"Characteristics of location are important to me," says Gabriel Specter, who aims to enliven abandoned spaces with his site-specific paintings. "I often deal with socially marginalized people and places [in my work]." At Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Myrtle Avenue in Bed-Stuy, his ongoing If I Saw You in Heaven series features portraits of homeless people; Specter prefers to view his subjects as "celebrations of humanity rather than symbols of blight." Outside Flatbush's Parkside Avenue subway stop, the DOT- and ISCP-commissioned A Collection of Local Memories interprets stories from local seniors into a freestanding, three-sided mural. Also check out Unwanted Collaboration, painted with street artist Swoon, at Franklin Avenue and Dean Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
Where his work has been:
1. Mural portion of If I Saw You in Heaven: Corner of Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Myrtle Avenue, Bushwick, Brooklyn
2. A Collection of Local Memories: The Parkside Avenue B/Q subway station, Flatbush, Brooklyn
Veng merges a background in graffiti with a love of Dutch masters to create ambiguous but realistic portraits. He typically glues his oil paintings to building walls because, he says, working on the street allows his art to play off the environment and vice versa. "It adds a new feel to the work," he says. At Mercer and Spring Streets, Veng's small, cherry-red frog seems to pop out of a concrete wall, and at 36 Gardner Avenue at Ingraham Street in Bushwick, a walrus man overlooks an industrial block. He also paints with the collective Robots Will Kill (robotswillkill.com), which splashes murals around industrial Brooklyn.
Where his work has been:
1. Walrus Man: 36 Gardner Ave at Ingraham St, Bushwick, Brooklyn
2. Frog: Mercer St at Spring St
Peru Ana Ana Peru
Eclectic and exuberant, Peru Ana Ana Peru's work is easy to identify: The duo's name always figures prominently in each piece, whether the letters are dripping over a painting or incorporated as a logo. "We have a thrift-store aesthetic that utilizes random objects [like picture frames] and pulls from a lot of different genres," they say. "There's a joy of life in our work, and a childlike sense of rambunctiousness," they explain. Peru Ana Ana Peru mostly work in lower Manhattan and north Brooklyn, but they also produce distinctive block-lettered logo stickers that can be found all over the city. The duo is currently planning a series of pieces that will pop up both here and in South America.
Where their work has been:
1. Untitled: Prince St between West Broadway and Wooster St
2. Untitled: Bowery at Ludlow St
3. Untitled: Bedford Ave at North 3rd St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
White Cocoa
An attention to detail and a fine-art sensibility distinguish White Cocoa's figurative portraits, which she draws with colored pencil on craft paper and applies to walls with wheat paste. "I became frustrated with the cost and elitism of oil painting, and experimented with cheaper materials," she says. Most of her work, which is scattered around Brooklyn, disappears within weeks. But you can spot a double portrait near the DeKalb Avenue L stop on Wyckoff Avenue. Next up: a series of tiny portraits of street artists, in the style of Russian icon paintings.
Where her work has been:
1. Untitled: South 4th St between Bedford Ave and Berry St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (no longer up)
2. Untitled: 981 Dean St at Classon Ave, Crown Heights, Brooklyn
"Working on the street is an excuse to get to know neighborhoods through a new vantage point—sometimes while being chased," OverUnder says. "It's a kind of urban exploration." His casual, sketchlike paintings and graffiti of figures whose bodies are composed of inanimate objects (buildings, architecture) give off a stream-of-consciousness feeling. Lately, he's been drawing figures surrounded by brownstones or bodegas, which he says is a response to the city's high housing prices. Look for OverUnder's murals in the area between the Lorimer Street and Jefferson Avenue L stops, like one on Central Avenue, near Troutman Street. A piece based on Charles Joseph Natoire's Expulsion from Paradise is still on Skillman Street between DeKalb and Willoughby Avenues in Bed-Stuy, and ageing nicely.
Where his work has been:
1. Expulsion from Paradise: Skillman St betweem Myrtle and Willoughby Aves, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
2. Untitled: Johnson Ave at Morgan Ave, Bushwick, Brooklyn3. Untitled: A rooftop off Montrose Ave, near Leonard St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
SCOPE THE GOODS! Street Art Tour with Gabe Schoenberg
Graffiti Tours New York's Gabe Schoenberg designed a tour just for Time Out New York! He leads a two-hour van ride to Harlem, Soho and Long Island City to scope some of these artists' work. A guest street artist will come along to discuss the pieces and the ways in which the city's street-art scene has evolved. Meet at the northwest corner of Bleecker St and Bowery (grafftours.com). March 6 at 1pm. $50, students $40.
