1. Minimum attendance numbers
1.1 Our events guarantee a minimum of 8 dates at any regular speed dating event. If you meet less than 8 people at any one event, you will be offered a complimentary ticket to another regular speed dating event. No refunds will be granted.
1.2 Some social events such as wine tasting, walks, bowling, rock climbing etc require a minimum of 12 guests to go ahead. If the minimum is not met you will be offered a half price ticket to another social event, or a free ticket to a regular speed dating event or party.
1.3. While we aim to have a 50/50 gender split at every event, this is not guaranteed and may not always be possible due to no shows etc. At regular speed dating events, if the there is a difference of more than 5 guests, you will be offered a complimentary ticket to another event of the same value. At the large parties, a minimum of 40/60 will be achieved in the gender balance. If this is not reached you will be offered a complimentary ticket to another party. No refunds will be issued for imbalanced numbers due to the unpredictability of 'no shows'.
2.1 As part of your membership we will inform you through our Services about our events.
2.2 The price of attending an event will be confirmed on our site.
2.3 We guarantee that you will meet someone you would like to see again at each PAID event. If you do not meet someone you would like to see again you can come to another event free of charge.
2.4 The guarantee only offers free tickets to events you have not already booked for. We will not refund tickets already booked for future events under the guarantee. If you tick anyone you have met at an event you have indicated that you would like to see someone again and therefore do not qualify for a free ticket to a future event.
2.5 If you are using the guarantee on a ticket that you bought for a discounted price, you must pay the balance when claiming the guarantee. For example, if you purchase a ticket for the discounted price of £14.95 and then wish to claim a guarantee and use it on an event which is £23.95, you must pay the £9. If you wanted to book another event which was £14.95 that would be no problem.
2.6. The guarantee is also limited to one free ticket per paid for ticket. The guarantee may not be rolled over. If you claim your guarantee and then do not tick anyone again at your free event, you may not claim another guarantee.
2.7 To qualify for a free ticket under the guarantee you must take part in the whole event. If you arrive late, leave early or choose not to take part you do not qualify.
2.8 This guarantee does not apply to special bigger ticket events such as days and evenings out (punting, walks, wine tasting, bowling etc) or to Lock and Key Parties or Balls. Guarantees may not be used to book these special events.
2.9 The guarantee remains valid for three months from the date of the original event. For Elite and Super Elite events, the value of the guarantee is limited to a ticket to a normal speed dating event (i.e. not exceeding £23.95). If purchasing a ticket to an Elite or Super elite event with a guarantee, you must pay the difference in price. The guarantee also does not apply to complimentary tickets.
3.1 When you book an event you must supply a daytime telephone number or mobile phone number.
3.2 If you want to change the event you attend, provided you let us know a minimum of five working days before the event, we will move you to another event free of charge or refund you less a £7 per ticket administration charge. Between 1 and 5 working days before an event no refunds are possible, however, we will move you to another event for a £5 per ticket administration fee.
3.3 If you let us know less than 24 hours before an event you can send a friend of the same gender in your place for no additional charge. We cannot move you to another event with less than 1 working day's notice. However, do please let us know if you are unable to attend, for whatever reason, as imbalanced numbers spoil our events for other people attending.
3.4 For logistical reasons we are not able to refund any New Years Eve tickets (with or without hotel accommodation) although you can send someone in your place provided you contact us at least 24 hours in advance.
3.5 To move to a different event or send a friend in your place please call us during office hours (10am-6pm Monday to Friday) on 0845 838 5600 (local call rate). All requests for refunds must be in writing.
3.6 Each of our events are based on a minimum number of attendees and we reserve the right to cancel an event if such numbers are not reached. You will then have the choice of booking an alternative event with us at the appropriate additional cost or reduction (depending on the cost of the event), or a full refund.
3.7 Cancellation may be necessary in exceptional circumstances and we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to cancel your event. If this occurs: (i) we will use reasonable endeavours to contact you, but will not be liable for any transportation or other costs incurred by people who arrive at a cancelled event; (ii) you will be offered an alternative event of comparable standard (if available) together with a refund of any price difference or a full and prompt refund of all monies you have paid. Circumstances outside of our control include but are not limited to war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions. If cancellation or curtailment of your event occurs as a result of circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even with all due care, we will not pay any compensation, nor be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by you as a result.
4.1 By booking an event you are registering your acceptance of these terms and conditions.
4.2 You represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions.
4.3 We reserve the right to invite media to attend events or to take our own promotional photographs.

text: Album #2 from SF's leading in-your-face, in-your-pants, queer rock punk pop combo features a louder, fuller, crunchier guitar sound a la the Buzzcocks, Fastbacks, and the famous Ramones. "Deflowered" delivers all you've come to expect from Pansy Division, but also includes several introspective songs covering various aspects of gay life. Sexy cover art too! Direct from the band's personal stock! "Having already made a noteworthy splash with their debut, Pansy Division -- still searching for a permanent drummer, with Liam Hart doing the duties on this effort -- followed it up with Deflowered, another collection of wry, silly, and heartfelt takes on love and life among gay men and boys. Song titles like the Chris Freeman-sung "James Bondage," "Rachbottomoff," and "Beercan Boy" -- the latter about a guy favored by nature not so much with length as with girth -- show that their frank sense of humor hadn't gone anywhere. Musically speaking, Pansy Division here aren't so much punk as enjoyable enough power pop with a flash of metal stomp here and there, with Jon Ginoli's engagingly nerdish voice obviously betraying his love of Pete Shelley (which, among other things, explains the fierce and fun cover of "Homosapien" that concludes the CD). His guitar playing, in general, is engaging rather than rampaging and his harmonizing with Freeman is sweetly enjoyable (check out "Groovy Underwear") -- even quicker clips like "Anonymous" are active but not knock-the-walls-down explosive. That song, along with a number of others, gives a hint as to where things would go in the future with the band. The sense of loss and regret started to step forward with tales about feeling lost and desperately alone in a small town ("Deep Water") and suffering in the age of AIDS ("Denny," with a perversely chippy melody), as well as the general romantic angst of "Not Enough of You to Go Around." A winning version (with gender changed) of Jonathan Richman's "A Song of Remembrance for Old Boyfriends" fits in perfectly with the general mood. But for all that, there are hilarious slams like "Fluffy City," a portrait of L.A.'s mainstream gay/club scene with one sharp putdown after another, and the says-it-all "Negative Queen" ("He thinks he's Oscar Wilde, but he's Paul Lynde")."- All Music Guide

Alopecia areata is a condition that causes round patches of hair loss. It can lead to total hair loss.
Alopecia totalis; Alopecia universalis
The cause of alopecia areata is unknown. About 1 in 5 people with this condition have a family history of alopecia .
Alopecia areata is thought to be an autoimmune condition . This occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue.
Alopecia areata is seen in men, women, and children. In a few people, hair loss may occur after a major life event such as an illness, pregnancy, or trauma.
Forms of alopecia include:
Hair loss is usually the only symptom. A few people may also feel a burning sensation or itching.
Alopecia areata usually begins as one to two patches of hair loss. Hair loss, is most often seen on the scalp. It may also occur in the beard, eyebrows, and arms or legs in some people.
Patches where hair has fallen out are smooth and round in shape. They may be peach-colored. Hairs that look like exclamation points are sometimes seen at the edges of a bald patch.
A scalp biopsy may be done. Several blood tests may also be done to check for autoimmune conditions and thyroid problems.
If hair loss is not widespread, the hair will often regrow in a few months without treatment.
Even for more severe hair loss, it is not clear how much treatment can help change the course of the condition.
Common treatments may include:
Wigs may be used to hide areas of hair loss.
Full recovery of hair is common.
However, some people may have a poorer outcome, including those with:
Call your health care provider if you are concerned about hair loss.

Revision as of 18:14, 6 December 2012
This article explains how to change the Lock screen image of Windows phone 8 using application that can be set in Lock screen setting. Going further, this article also explains how we can change the lock screen periodically with new image which can located on app folder or over internet. We will also see code demo for each method to set lock screen.
Note: This is a community entry in the Windows Phone 8 Wiki Competition 2012Q4.
Windows Phone 8
Contents |
Windows phone 8 has awesome features like new personalised home screen, Dynamic Lock screen, Integrated VOIP Skype etc. In Windows Phone 8, a user can choose to use an app as its lock screen background image provider. I think best feature is Dynamic Lock Screen as user first see Lock screen on his/her phone.
This article explains how to change the Lock screen image of Windows phone 8 using LockScreenManager. We will also show you how to change the Lockscreen wallpaper in background periodically using Background Agent Scheduler.
To provide the lock screen background image in the phone, we need to declare the app's intent in the app manifest file WMAppManifest.xml, and add code to handle changing the background image and then to change image periodically we need to use Windows phone Scheduler as Background Agent.
Video Demo
Here you can see the app in action changing lock screen image every 30 sec.
We are going to create this app. So let's get started! First we will show you how to set a default image to lock screen by app acting as Background image provide.
Setting up a default lock screen background image
To provide the lock screen background image on Windows phone 8, first we need to update the app manifest file to declare your app as a lock screen background provider so that app can get permission to access the lock screen of the phone.
Updating the app manifest file
To Update the app manifest file so that app can access the lock screen of the phone, we need to update WMAppManifest.xml file as below.
- In Solution Explorer, expand Properties, right-click WMAppManifest.xml, click Open With, and then click Source Code (Text Editor) With Encoding.
- Add the lock screen background <Extension> element in the <Extensions> element. If the <Extensions> element doesn't appear in the file, place the entire code example below into the file. The <Extensions> element must be placed below the <Tokens> element.
Here in <Extension> element, we need to define ExtensionName, ConsumerID and TaskID. In your application, you can use same ConsumerID and TaskID as below.
<Extension ExtensionName="LockScreen_Background" ConsumerID="{111DFF24-AA15-4A96-8006-2BFF8122084F}" TaskID="_default" />
Now users can see the app in the Lock Screen Settings and choose to let the app change the lock screen.
Once, User set our app as default lock screen provide in setting, our default image is set as lock screen as our app service agent is not yet got chance to set image dynamically.So for this reason, we should include a default lock screen background image at the root of your main project's XAP package. Name the image DefaultLockScreen.jpg.
Size of the Lock screen image
Recommended image size for lock screen is 480px X 800px or 960px X 1708px but if provided image is too big than it will be automatically cropped from center and set in lock screen. Also if provided image is too small than it will be re-sized to big automatically but it will be blurred/scratched and look odd.
Adding code to change the Lock screen background
We can change background of Lock screen using Windows.Phone.System.UserProfile.LockScreenManager namespace. To change the background, our app must have selected as Lock screen background provider in Lockscreen setting, to check that Go to Setting -> Lock Screen.
To check that whether our app is selected as Lock screen image provider or not through code, we can use LockScreenManager.IsProvidedByCurrentApplication method. And if it return false, we use LockScreenManager.RequestAccessAsync() method to ask user to select our app as Provider.
if (!LockScreenManager.IsProvidedByCurrentApplication)
// If you're not the provider, this call will prompt the user for permission.
// Calling RequestAccessAsync from a background agent is not allowed.
await LockScreenManager.RequestAccessAsync();
// Only do further work if the access is granted.
if (LockScreenManager.IsProvidedByCurrentApplication)
// change the background here.
This code ask user to give permission to our app to access lock screen. Once user click on Yes, our app is granted to change the lock screen and become current Lock screen image provider.
Then, we need to call the LockScreen.SetImageUri method with the URI of the picture. The URI must be prefixed by ms-appx:/// if the picture is stored in the resources, or ms-appdata:///Local/ if the picture is stored in root folder.
- ms-appx:/// for resources bundled within the .xap
- ms-appdata:///local/ for local images within the root folder.
We can not set image located on server using Image URL directly on LockScreen.SetImageUri method. But we do it by downloading image using WebClient and storing it on IsolatedStorage and then can use above ms-appx:/// on LockScreen.SetImageUri method.
The following final code example shows how we can change the lock screen background image. We need to call below function. Here method uses async as 'the user for permission can only be done by using an async call.
private async void LockScreenChange(string filePathOfTheImage, bool isAppResource)
if (!LockScreenManager.IsProvidedByCurrentApplication)
// If you're not the provider, this call will prompt the user for permission.
// Calling RequestAccessAsync from a background agent is not allowed.
await LockScreenManager.RequestAccessAsync();
// Only do further work if the access is granted.
if (LockScreenManager.IsProvidedByCurrentApplication)
// At this stage, the app is the active lock screen background provider.
// The following code example shows the new URI schema.
// ms-appdata points to the root of the local app data folder.
// ms-appx points to the Local app install folder, to reference resources bundled in the XAP package
var schema = isAppResource ? "ms-appx:///" : "ms-appdata:///Local/";
var uri = new Uri(schema + filePathOfTheImage, UriKind.Absolute);
// Set the lock screen background image.
// Get the URI of the lock screen background image.
var currentImage = LockScreen.GetImageUri();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("The new lock screen background image is set to {0}", currentImage.ToString());
MessageBox.Show("Lock screen changed. Click F12 or go to lock screen.");
MessageBox.Show("Background cant be updated as you clicked no!!");
Once you say Yes, This app becomes current background image provider of Lock screen and we can see the image set by above method in lock screen by pressing F12 during using in Windows Phone 8 Emulator.
To set lock screen image, call LockScreenChange method as below. Here we need to pass Image file path that we want to set as Lock screen and whether it is in app resources folder or in root.
LockScreenChange("wallpaper/CustomizedPersonalWalleper_0.jpg", true);
You can see new lock screen image in below image.
Linking to the lock screen settings screen from within your app
We can't programmatically turn off our app as a lock screen background image provider from within the app. The user will need to visit the phone's settings screen and make the change themselves. Providing a link to the settings screen makes this useful and easy for user. The following code example shows you how you can route a button click to the phone's lock screen settings screen using URI of setting page in Windows Phone 8 .
private async void btnGoToLockSettings_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
// Launch URI for the lock screen settings screen.
var op = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("ms-settings-lock:"));
Dynamic Lock screen
We saw above how we can change the lock screen image. Now We want to make app that change the lock screen periodically like in built 'Bing' app of Windows Phone 8. To change the lock screen after some period, we need to use Windows Phone Scheduled Task Agent', also known as Background Agent.
Change Lock screen image Dynamically using Background Agent
First we need to add Scheduled Task Agent to our solution from "New Project" as seen below. To do that go to New Project -> Windows Phone Scheduled Task Agent.
In MainPage.xaml.cs class, we need to add PeriodicTask type ScheduleAgentTask as shown below which run after some time (normally after 30 min). But to test this in simulator we cant wait 30 min, so we have made it to run after every 30 sec using LaunchForTest(String, TimeSpan) method which run only on device/simulator when application is in debug mode. You can see we have defined #define DEBUG_AGENT before calling LaunchForTest(String, TimeSpan) method.
Here we also defined ExpirationTime of this PeriodicTask by periodicTask.ExpirationTime to 14 days or less from the current date. The default value is 14 days from the current date. Applications that use ScheduledTask must renew their schedule at least once every two weeks by calling Remove(String) and then Add(ScheduledAction) to add the task when the main application is running in the foreground. This helps to ensure that unused applications are not draining device resources.
Note: The LaunchForTest(String, TimeSpan) method is provided so that you can run your agent on a more frequent schedule than it will run on an actual device. This method is only for application development. It will not function except for in applications that are deployed using the development tools. You should remove calls to this method from your production application. In this example, the call is placed in an #if block to enable you to easily switch between debugging and production functionality. To enable the call, put the following line at the top of the ScheduledAgent.cs file. #define DEBUG_AGENT
First we need to define PeriodicTask in MainPage.xaml.cs as below.
PeriodicTask periodicTask;
string periodicTaskName = "PeriodicAgent";
Here is the Method which add our PeriodicTask to ScheduledActionService.
private void StartPeriodicAgent()
// is old task running, remove it
periodicTask = ScheduledActionService.Find(periodicTaskName) as PeriodicTask;
if (periodicTask != null)
catch (Exception)
// create a new task
periodicTask = new PeriodicTask(periodicTaskName);
// load description from localized strings
periodicTask.Description = "This is Lockscreen image provider app.";
// set expiration days
periodicTask.ExpirationTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(14);
// add this to scheduled action service
// debug, so run in every 30 secs
ScheduledActionService.LaunchForTest(periodicTaskName, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Periodic task is started: " + periodicTaskName);
catch (InvalidOperationException exception)
if (exception.Message.Contains("BNS Error: The action is disabled"))
// load error text from localized strings
MessageBox.Show("Background agents for this application have been disabled by the user.");
if (exception.Message.Contains("BNS Error: The maximum number of ScheduledActions of this type have already been added."))
// No user action required. The system prompts the user when the hard limit of periodic tasks has been reached.
catch (SchedulerServiceException)
// No user action required.
In ScheduledTaskAgent1 Project, ScheduledAgent.cs file, in OnInvoke(ScheduledTask) method which call periodically we need to write code that change the lock screen image periodically. We want to set 10 image one by one periodically in this sample application.
We have 10 images in wallpaper folder. Each images name is start with CustomizedPersonalWalleper_ and ends with image number(0 to 9). Here we first check which image is currently set as lock screen by LockScreen.GetImageUri method.
// Get the URI of the lock screen background image.
var currentImage = LockScreen.GetImageUri();
Then we find image number from it by using Substring and String.IndexOf method as below and create the image name that we want to set next and pass it to LockScreenChange method. So logic becomes as shown in code below.
string imgCount = currentImage.ToString().Substring(currentImage.ToString().IndexOf('_') + 1, currentImage.ToString().Length - (currentImage.ToString().IndexOf('_') + 1)).Replace(".jpg", "");
if (imgCount != "9")
Imagename = "wallpaper/CustomizedPersonalWalleper_" + Convert.ToString(Convert.ToUInt32(imgCount) + 1) + ".jpg";
Imagename = "wallpaper/CustomizedPersonalWalleper_0.jpg";
LockScreenChange(Imagename, true);
So Final code of OnInvoke(ScheduledTask) Method is as below.
protected override void OnInvoke(ScheduledTask task)
// Get the URI of the lock screen background image.
var currentImage = LockScreen.GetImageUri();
string Imagename = string.Empty;
string imgCount = currentImage.ToString().Substring(currentImage.ToString().IndexOf('_') + 1, currentImage.ToString().Length - (currentImage.ToString().IndexOf('_') + 1)).Replace(".jpg", "");
if (imgCount != "9")
Imagename = "wallpaper/CustomizedPersonalWalleper_" + Convert.ToString(Convert.ToUInt32(imgCount) + 1) + ".jpg";
Imagename = "wallpaper/CustomizedPersonalWalleper_0.jpg";
LockScreenChange(Imagename, true);
// If debugging is enabled, launch the agent again in one minute.
// debug, so run in every 30 secs
ScheduledActionService.LaunchForTest(task.Name, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Periodic task is started again: " + task.Name);
// Call NotifyComplete to let the system know the agent is done working.
Set Lock screen image located over internet (like Bing App)
Setting image as Lock screen directly using LockScreen.SetImageUri() is not possible currently. So how we can set image which located over internet. There is one way to do that by downloading image on IsolatedStorage and then using LockScreen.SetImageUri() we can set image as Lock Screen.
Below we will see how to download image from internet and store it in IsolatedStorage and then how to set that image as Lock screen.
private void DownloadImagefromServer()
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.OpenReadCompleted += new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(client_OpenReadCompleted);
// give the image url that we need to download and store on IsolatedStorage
client.OpenReadAsync(new Uri("http://ajtroxell.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wp7_vintage.jpg", UriKind.Absolute));
void client_OpenReadCompleted(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
//img.Source = bitmap;
// Create a filename for JPEG file in isolated storage.
String tempJPEG = "DownloadedWalleper.jpg";
// Create virtual store and file stream. Check for duplicate tempJPEG files.
using (IsolatedStorageFile myIsolatedStorage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
if (myIsolatedStorage.FileExists(tempJPEG))
IsolatedStorageFileStream fileStream = myIsolatedStorage.CreateFile(tempJPEG);
StreamResourceInfo sri = null;
Uri uri = new Uri(tempJPEG, UriKind.Relative);
sri = Application.GetResourceStream(uri);
//BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
WriteableBitmap wb = new WriteableBitmap(bitmap);
// Encode WriteableBitmap object to a JPEG stream.
Extensions.SaveJpeg(wb, fileStream, wb.PixelWidth, wb.PixelHeight, 0, 85);
//wb.SaveJpeg(fileStream, wb.PixelWidth, wb.PixelHeight, 0, 85);
// call function to set downloaded image as lock screen
LockScreenChange("DownloadedWalleper.jpg", false);
You can see below in screenshot that a image located over internet is now set as Lock screen.
Dynamic Lock screen image like Bing App
We need to upload different image over internet periodically in other platform so that our app in Windows Phone 8 can download it and set it as Lock screen image. To Upload image periodically over internet in other platform, We can create some Windows Service in .net that will run on Windows and upload images to a specific URL over internet by picking image from provided folder path. OR we can have bunch of image URL to set as lock screen periodically.
Concept becomes Reality
Below concept can now become reality. To make it real, We need to have one image URL path which will have different images periodically with some details written on image and our lock screen app will download image from that Image URL path and set as Lock screen. We just need to upload different images to specific image URL path. To upload image, we can use Windows Service of other platform or we can upload it manually.
We can not write text over image at runtime in Windows Phone 7 and 8 but we can do that in other platform using imaging API for example in .net and upload composed image to specific Image URL and our lock screen app in windows phone 8 will set it as lock screen.
So this way, below concept becomes real app.
So this way, we can create application for Windows Phone 8 that change the lock screen background periodically. We can also set image which located on server as lock screen. This image located over intenret server might have some information written on it as text or image.
So we have seen how to create set a image as lock screen, how to make lock screen image dynamic with images located on app folder or over internet.

On 26 september 2013, a Ministerial meeting of the « LGBT Core Group » was held in the margins of the opening of the 68th UN General Assembly to end discriminations against LGBT persons and to promote their fundamental rights.
During this first meeting held at ministerial level on this topic at the United Nations, Mr. Pascal Canfin, Minister Delegate for Development, attached to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that respecting LGBT people's human rights was not about creating new rights but actually ensuring throughout the world respect for the most essential human rights, regardless of traditions and cultures. Commitments presented during this meeting have been included in a Ministerial Statement
26 March 2013 - Conference on LGBT rights in Europe
France, in cooperation with Poland and the European Commission, invited on 26 March 2013 in Paris, representatives of 56 countries of the European continent, civil society and regional and international organizations to address the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) people in Europe.
Discussions will focus on ways to fight discrimination and violence against LGBT people in Europe and the role of regional and international human rights mechanisms on these issues.
This conference is part of a global process in which countries involved in the fight against discrimination and violence against LGBT people decided to organize early 2013 wide consultations on these issues on several continents. Conferences will be held in Brasilia, Kathmandu and Paris. The outcome of this work will be presented at an international conference in Oslo on 15 and 16 April 2013.
On 15 June 2011, the Human Rights Council adopted a resolution 17/19 explicitly stating equality regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The text proposed by South Africa and supported by 39 states including France, reasserts the universality of human rights and requests, by the end of 2011, a report on discriminatory practices linked to sexual orientation.
Defending the principle of non-discrimination, a key human rights principle, is of major importance to France. Although human rights should apply to everyone without any exception, violations of fundamental rights based on sexual orientation take place all over the world. The Human Rights Committee and the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognize sexual orientation as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination through their respective international covenants. Within this framework, France has introduced and participated in concrete initiatives to protect the rights of LGBT persons.
During the 61st Commission on Human Rights held in 2005 in Geneva, France joined the statement made by New Zealand on behalf of 32 countries, in which discrimination based on sexual orientation of individuals were strongly criticized. It also co-sponsored with 54 other states the statement on sexual orientation or gender identity made by Norway during the 3rd Session of the Human Rights Council held in 2006, calling for a dialogue to be opened on this issue within the HRC.
France, together with the Netherlands and a pilot group of States (Argentina, Brazil, Gabon, Japan and Norway) initiated a Declaration on Human Rights and Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity , which was brought before the 63rd session of the UN General Assembly in December 2008 in New York. This initiative which was endorsed by 68 countries, i.e. more than one third of the General Assembly members, was a great success: for the first time in the history of the UNGA, States from all continents spoke out against human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The signatories of this Declaration are: Albania, Andorra, Argentina,
Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica (which signed this declaration in March 2010), Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Gabon, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Montenegro, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Sao Tome and Principe, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Timor-Leste, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America (which signed this declaration in January 2009), Uruguay and Venezuela.
On the first anniversary of the adoption of this declaration, the spokesman of French Ministry of Foreign Affairs made the following statement on 18 December 2009:
"France reaffirms, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Declaration on Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, its determination to fight against human rights violations and discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and condemns the resulting executions, arbitrary detentions, and deprivation of rights. Let's not forget that today more than 60 countries forbid sexual relations between persons of the same sex or systematically suppress them, including through criminal penalties, with penalties sometimes as extreme as the death penalty.
"In accordance with its commitment, France organized a World Congress for Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity on 15 May for the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia. On this occasion, France announced the creation of a support fund which would receive financial contributions to encourage, promote awareness of and support civil society projects and actions, where funding is most needed. These projects and actions are helping to affirm the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of the victims of discrimination.
"This fund was introduced by the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs. Its goal is to provide a structure for all public partners, as well as private ones (States, businesses, NGOs, foundations, communities, individuals) wishing to support the fight against homophobia and transphobia. The actions that are funded will make it possible to inform and increase the awareness of the local, national and regional authorities, in order to implement programs to promote awareness as well as programs to defend and protect victims and provide them with access to justice.
"We invite all of our partners to make commitments together with us by contributing to this support fund. This fund will make it possible to provide funding to NGOs, associations, universities, the media, foundations and national human rights institutions. The support fund represents a new stage in the process of affirming universal and indivisible human rights."
On 10 December 2009, on the occasion of the international day of Human Rights, a side event organized by Sweden, Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, the Netherlands, Norway and France was held on the theme "Opposing grave human rights violations on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity." Consisting of a round table discussion, this event brought together some fifty delegations and numerous NGOs. (Watch the parallel event)
On 21 December 2010, the UN General Assembly adopted an amendment that reintroduced the mention of the executions of LGBT persons in the resolution on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. It is the only resolution that specifically mentions sexual orientation. This reference was deleted in Third Committee. France and its partners called successfully for the reintroduction of this reference in the resolution.
On the occasion of Human Rights Day (Dec. 10), a special event on "Stop Bullying - Ending violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity" was held on 8 December 2011 at the United Nations in New York.
Composed of a panel of inter-regional youth, this side event was dedicated to the fight against the harassment of young people because of their sexual orientation.
On 7 March 2012, on the occasion of its 19th session, the Human Rights Council organized for the first time and in accordance with its resolution 17/19 adopted on 15 June 2011 a Panel discussion on ending violence and discrimination against individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender identity. The High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay presented the results of the study she prepared on discriminatory laws and practices and acts of violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity (read the statement made by the High Commissioner for Human Rights )
Rejecting the concept of sexual orientation and condemning homosexuality, the members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) represented by Pakistan condemned the organization of this debate, requesting this discussion to be the last and walked out of the room.

Okay, so the Progressive Automotive X-PRIZE competition isn't exactly like the TV program, because the public doesn't get to vote on which vehicles will earn their developers a share of the $10 million that will be awarded in September. Consumers Union is evaluating a total of 36 vehicles from 28 teams in two categories – Mainstream (four-wheeled vehicles able to carry four passengers) and Alternative (two passengers).
Vehicles completed Shakedown testing at the Michigan International Speedway (MIS) in Brooklyn, Michigan this week. Those deemed sufficiently safe will move on to Knockdown testing June 20-30, and those that make that cut will enter the Finals July 19-30. Knockdown and Finals will also take place at MIS. The top Mainstream and Alternative finalists will undergo dynamometer testing at Argonne National Laboratory in August to verify performance results, after which the winners will be announced. The Mainstream grand prize winning team will drive off with $5 million and two Alternative winners – for side-by-side and tandem seating – will take home $2.5 million each.
X-PRIZE officials stress that the competition is not a science fair or concept car show. Evaluation criteria include safety, cost, performance, and the developers' business plan, in addition to road performance. The winning vehicles are expected to be production-ready (10,000 units or more per-year) as well as to achieve or exceed 100 miles per-gallon or the energy equivalent (MPGe) with low emissions (200 g/mi CO2e wells‐to‐wheels greenhouse gas emissions and low tailpipe emissions). Gasoline, E85, biodiesel, and battery electric vehicles are entered, and as you might imagine, the technology is cutting-edge.
Members of several development teams likened their efforts and the competition to the early days of the last century when the auto industry was gearing up and innovation made the industry exciting. Companies no one had heard of were on the verge of success. Is that likely to happen again? Will an X-PRIZE entrant become a household name?

Need more technical details?
Every window project is different. It's hard to provide an accurate cost range as a house can vary greatly in the number and size of its windows. Costs also depend on the frame material and glass options. Double and triple-glazed windows, or those filled with argon gas, increase energy savings but add to initial upfront costs. Often government or power company incentives include additional tax deductions or rebates for making energy-saving improvements to your home. These incentives may significantly reduce a project's total costs. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover how affordable a window replacement project can be.

I have been using 5-HTP for 3 years now (50mg per day, with a 2-3 day break every couple of months) and I can honestly say it has changed my life. It makes me feel more positive during the day, so I am more active too which helps me feel better and keep my weight steady. I also find that I am more tired at the end of the day (probably because I am more active during the day) so I fall asleep quicker and generally sleep deeper at night. It is especially good during the dark winter months when I am feeling a bit down. Definitely recommended.
I was advised to take this for stress and high blood pressure as a natural remedy and since Ive been taking it I have suffered the worst cluster headaches. I never had headaches like this before. Yes I may sleep deeper but the side effects I am getting are not worth it, Id rather not sleep headache free than to sleep deep. I read alot of people take this for migraines ... I cant see how as its caused mine. Will not be using anymore.
Just started taking. Amazed how quickly it has acted. We have a lot of stress at the moment which I was not coping with. Today woke up feeling like i can't wait to get on and feel like organising things. Have not felt that for a while and it is January worst month.
I was clinically depressed for many years, to the point of being hospitalised on several occasions. I have tried many different types of antidepressants, anxiety drugs and mood stabilisers and this is the only drug that I would have reccommended out of any of them. I had no trouble with side effects, and it was easy to take. The only downside I found was that it has a period of time during which it helps (usually about 4-5 hours) and then wears off. I found taking 100mg 3x daily at certain times of day, (and keeping it to the same times every day) to be the most effective at managing my moods. If the schedual is varied or the dose is changed it can have the oppposite effect. There are no side effects if you decide you don't like it and would like to stop taking it. It is expensive but if you get a good brand, you will get what you pay for.
used for depressive/low mood time of illness and have found to be highly affective in improving emotional state. seemed to increase over time. have also had some vivid dreames since taking and have found my general imagination ability has also got better!! recomend talking to a medical profesional b4 trying though as it can react with other meds especialy some antidepresants! I have been taking holand and barrets own 50 mg tablets 1 or two a day if i remember too, for about a month and a half
I had begun to have low mood, difficulty in sleeping, irritability, tearfulness combined with recurrent migraine. i knew i need to address my mood. i have had st johns wort before (which works by the way) but st johns wort has a tendency to cause insomnia and makes me head-achy so i didn't want to try it this time. I have read about 5htp so thought i would try it. I took it on a night to begin with but it didn't help me sleep in fact it did the opposite and made me feel a little high and i found myself staring at the ceiling a lot. I changed it to the morning instead. I felt a bit 'floaty' for first few days but that passed. Within 3 or 4 days my mood had improved my headache finally lifted and i just felt calmer and happier. Things were no longer making me angry and i just felt better. I am on just 100mg daily and it seems to have done the trick. i would recommend to give it a try. I haven't noticed any side effects.
I have tried several different reputable brands of 5htp as a natural treatment for depression and I have never had any success with it. It does not make any difference to my mental state at all. It didn't work for me unfortunately. Back to the drawing board!
When I hit perimenopause, depression, anxiety and panic attacks started. The worst depression was over in 1/2 year, but anxiety, nocturnal panic attacks and insomnia went on. Especially at night and in the early morning. I tried several antidepressants, they did not work. My psych thought they provoke mania and prescribed lithium. I never took it. I first started taking 100 mg HTP before sleep, after dinner. It did not seem to help much - neither to fall asleep, nor to stay asleep. However mood started to improve slightly. Then I switched to taking 5-htp before dinner and after a couple of days the effect was obvious: no more early morning awakenings in panic. If I wake up in the early hours, I fall asleep and wake up at 6 or 7 a.m. with a happy relaxed feeling which I always used to have before. I've been also taking melatonine, fish oil, magnesium and vit. B 5,6, 12 for a year, but I think it's 5-htp which made the difference. The effect became visible after 3-4 weeks.
I have taken a prescription anti-depressant for the last 15 years or so and due to a variety of circumstances, I've been suffering with some side effects and wanted to try something new. I checked with my doc to make sure I didn't have any drug interactions or other issues. My physician said, "It couldn't hurt to try" and told me how to back off of my prescription and begin the 5-HTP - VERY IMPORTANT! It's only been a little over a week since I began, but I can definitely say that so far this treatment has been a godsend! I started with 100 mg a.m. & p.m. of the brand Natrol, which seems to be a very good balance for me. I feel calm, upbeat, more energetic than I have for years. It seems to be easier to get out bed in the morning and I haven't experienced any side effects other than maybe the "weird dreams" mentioned by some others. I hope this continues to be effective. If it does, I highly recommend for those looking for an alternative to a prescription.
Instead of 3-5 migraines a week, I now go 2-3 weeks without any headaches of any kind. Am using the Jigsaw brand (I take 2 AM and 2 PM) and the effectiveness has been amazing. Also reduces anxiety and I sleep all night w/o waking up. Was able to get off high doses of amitriptyline as a result.

paying so little for a sim cutter left me with some concerns about the quality, so my expecttions were pretty low. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the item. It has plenty of weight to it and feels like a real tool. I used it to cut my sim and it worked as advertised. The sim cut was clean and it fit the tray of my phone perfectly. I have only used it once, so take that into consideration.
Everything works great, only came with 3 sim card adapters.... sorta disappointing, however I only needed 2 sim card adapters.
The quality of this item is way below par, even not made up by the low price. In hindsight I'm lucky it didn't completely ruin my SIMs.
I suspect that I have used for the first and last time I will ever need it. But I was able to cut a SIM with it, being very careful to ensure that it was properly positioned in the cutter before pressing down on the handle. It's just not the sort of thing one needs very often, so it's good that I didn't have to pay much for it.
this is the first time i decide to this product, and i believe this product is good.
worked perfect to cut down my regular sim card. a little loose where i fit the sim into to be cut but that wasn't a big deal it came out fine. the adapaters are awesome too.
The sim cutter works as advertised. You need an emery board to trim edges to give a smooth fit in either the microsim slot or the adapters. The adapters are very flimsy and do not flex without breaking. So this is a one way cut, there is no going back.
