Tories say Sugar must choose between government and TV
Opposition grows to tycoon's appointment as 'enterprise tsar'
The appointment of Sir Alan Sugar as the Government's "enterprise tsar" has spiralled into the sort of disarray that surrounds those hapless losing candidates on The Apprentice.
Having already earned the scorn of the feminist lobby, Sir Alan has now attracted the fire of the official opposition, which says his political and broadcasting roles are incompatible and that he must either give up his government job or his BBC contract.
The Conservatives' culture spokesman, Jeremy Hunt, has written to the chair of the BBC Trustees, Sir Michael Lyons, demanding that Sir Alan choose between his work for the BBC, as the star of The Apprentice, and his public work as an adviser to the Government.
Mr Hunt wrote that Sir Alan's two roles were "totally incompatible" and he was "extremely concerned about the impact this appointment will have on the BBC's political independence ... It is hard to see how a Labour peer and Government adviser cannot be considered as being actively involved in political activities. It is even more significant that Sir Alan will be advising the Government on exactly the same set of public policy issues which his programme, The Apprentice, is about."
However, Sir Alan said he had made it "perfectly clear" to Mr Brown that he would not compromise his position on The Apprentice and had spoken to the BBC in advance for guidelines on the issue. He also implied that, contrary to the popular impression, and possibly that gathered by Gordon Brown, he might not in fact serve as a Labour peer nor as a member of the Government, but was "politically neutral".
He said he would not rule out serving on a Conservative government but had yet to meet David Cameron and knew little about him.
Sir Alan told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "It's very simple – all I am is an adviser, I'm not a policy-maker ... I wouldn't join the Government. I don't see this as a political thing.
"As far as I'm concerned I've just got a passion to help out young people, to help out businesses and act as a kind of giant Dragon's Den if you like – although not with my money."
Many observers interpreted Sir Alan's appointment as an attempt to sprinkle some much needed stardust on to a rather turbulent reshuffle but Sir Alan was clear that he was not being used by his new team leader, Gordon Brown, as "window dressing", and that this was no publicity stunt.
"It's a shame it looks like that, but I'm sure that ... you know I'm not the type of person to be used. I have a passion and commitment to try to help small businesses and enterprise to see if we can get things moving again," he said. Sir Alan has written some embarrassing things about Gordon Brown in the past, remarking when Mr Brown was a shadow economics spokesman in the early 1990s that "whoever he is, he has not done his homework properly. The man doesn't know what he is talking about ... Labour offers no route out of recession". Once a favourite businessmen of Baroness Thatcher, Sir Alan has since become a substantial donor to New Labour and he now believes that Mr Brown is precisely the man to lead the nation out of recession.
The BBC Trust said it had received Mr Hunt's letter and would respond to the points raised "as soon as possible".
The director of the Fawcett Society, which campaigns for women's rights, has already said that Sir Alan's appointment gives "grave cause for concern".
Dr Katherine Rake OBE claims that Sir Alan "has made outspoken comments which have set the women's rights agenda back. He claims that maternity laws give women 'too much' entitlement and wants to break with equality practice by asking women whether they are planning to get married and have children at interview.
"Finding ways of effectively supporting women's enterprise should be a key part of the UK's exit from recession and there are questions as to whether Sugar is the man to do that."

Are you looking for like-minded fellowship in your area? Do you want to be fruiful in your walk with Jesus Christ and lead others to become disciples? We invite you to prayerfully consider joining with this movement. It does not necessary mean you need to leave the Church you attend but you would commit to meet during the week with other like-minded believers from all different denominational backgrounds.
"Gospel Fellowships are fellowships of like-minded believers in Jesus Christ meeting together in autonomous groups of 2-3 or more on a weekly basis under the Headship of Jesus Christ."
Gospel Fellowships is not a organization, denomination or nonprofit
group but is simply a network of believers who agree with the basic burdens expressed in the Principles Book. Thus, Gospel Fellowships is centered on the fact that there is only one body of Christ universal in the world and that all true disciples of Jesus Christ are a part of that body.
In response to reading the Principles book consider to start a fellowship group under the Headship of Jesus Christ in your local area. Jesus Christ is the focus and great Unity of all true believers may He be glorified in every gathering. Join with a world-wide Unity and movement of believers and find true Christian Fellowship in your country. May the whole earth be filled with the knowledge of the glory of The Lord, even as the waters cover the sea! May we be found ready when He suddenly returns for His Bride!

Also i think i should give an update about some things:
About requests / art-trades : For the time being i will not take any kind of request, this is because i have a huge backlog of drawings i would like to finish first and my free time has been decreasing more than i'd like. Lately i've received many notes from some of you asking for requests and art-trades, unfortunately there have been some individuals who have dedicated themselves to spam my notes, and i lost track of multiple orders. That's why I could't answer to you all and for that i apologize. I must clarify that i will do no more requests for now until further notice. Thanks for your understanding.
About comissions : I have also received several requests for comissions and i've been thinking seriously about offering PayPal comissions soon (could definitely use the money ). But for this, first I would like to read some suggestions from you guys on how should i handle this if i decide to do it.
Well that's all for now, will finish several new drawings soon, looking forward to sharing with you all!

I am looking for suggestions for a place to stop between leaving Paris and arriving in Bayeux. We will have a car, so anyplace along the way that might be a nice place to explore for an hour or so, or longer in there is a great lunch place, is what I am looking for. We have never been to this area of France before, so everything in the area is new. We like small quaint villages, or anyplace with shops to stroll around. Considering Rouen, but don't want to fight traffic or get lost in a city. We will be spending the next few days in Bayeux to see some of the WWII sites. Any suggestions? Thanks.

There are restaurants on the harbor in charming Honfleur. Even if you don't stop there for lunch, make sure you visit Honfleur enroute to Bayeux.

Jumieges Abbey is smack en route - overlooking the Seine and there are small towns near it with typical French restaurants. -

Thanks for the suggestions. I was already considering Honfleur, so am glad t know it would be a good choice. I need to look into Jumieges Abbey, I have never heard of it. Looks like a nice area to stop in.

We will be traveling on a Monday. Are restaurants open for lunch in the smaller towns on Mondays?

Some photos and commentary if that helps. We spent a week in the area (day in Rouen and the rest in Bayeux). We did see Jumieges as well as Honfleur too.
Have fun.

NYX Cosmetics NYX Slide On Pencil Reviews
Awesome eyeliners
I give this 9 out of 10 stars, just because Milani liquify are a tad better. Regarding colour selection, I'd give it straight 10 stars, I have 5 shades so far and would love to purchase them all. Like the Milani liquify, they glide on without a problem over the lid and after they've dried, stay on all day long. My favourite colour is "Purple Blaze". — 1 year, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful
I bought this eyeliner in gold and brown, both of them gave amazing results that required patience at first. the color is actually very good, but it wasn't quite visible on first application. with extra time, you can swipe the second line on your first stroke, and the color would be there. the brown one is also good for eyebrow filler, some says, but still I opt for NYX slim eye pencil in Charcoal to fill my brows — 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Good for tightline
I really like this eyeliner. The colors are great and it's very easy to apply. I feel like when I put it on my waterline it looks crooked, even when it's not. So for right now I've just resorted to applying it to my tightline, which works so well! It's around $7 which is kind of pricey considering I only got it two weeks ago , I haven't been using it every day and it's almost gone! — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
No tugging, but needs more pigment.
I heard that these were amazing eyeliners. They definitely slide on and don't tug, which is a plus, but they're not very pigmented. I probably would try something else next time for a basic colored eyeliner, but I'd go back to these if I want something neon. Overall, they're good, just not perfect. — 1 year, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
Vibrant colours
I bought these eyeliners at a drugstore, picking up around 5 of them, and then having to find out they were actually quite expensive was a bummer. However, I did end up buying 3 colours which ranged from blue to bronze to a green. I have brown eyes hence all colours go on me. What I particularly loved about this product was how amazingly it glided across my eyelid without me having to pull or tug ...read moreon my skin. The colour payoff is amazing as well, comes off quite true and vibrant without any use of darkening it. The only con for me though was how annoying they are to come off, even with an oil based cleanser. Also, be careful around your lower lash line especially if you have longer lashes, this will cling to your lashes and clump them up making it look messy and smudgy, unless you like that look :) — 1 year, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars April 29, 2012
That was very nice but I dont think I can do extreme mode so fast. That was a lot fun and heres something u can do with the zombies to kill them without a gun:
You beat the game, get the cheats, put fly cheat on then if theres a place where u can fall and die, let the zombies follow u and "fly" then u wont die and the zombies will just fall XD. Hope u make a 2nd version of this! But since it isnt the best game every or something like that, I give it a 4.5.
PS. If u put the fly cheat on and the girl zombie is there, and she follows u and theres a place where u die then she will die and u will lose. So only do that trick with the zombies not the zombie girl. Hope u like that trick!

Add/View Comments (0)Protect the coasts so they can protect us
Michael Gross
- With rising sea levels and environmental problems caused by population and economic pressures colliding at the world's coastlines, there are huge risks to people and the environment, but also opportunities to restore natural defences and help both. Michael Gross reports.
Main Text
Sea turtles spend most of their lives — which, like ours, may last around 80 years — in the ocean, but the females come to shore on suitably sandy beaches to hide their eggs in a hole in the sand. After months of incubation underground, baby turtles typically hatch at night, dig their way up, and instinctively trundle down to the ocean. Turtles have in recent years been the focus of much conservation work (http://www.billionbabyturtles.org/) and some populations have been brought back from the brink of extinction, often with substantial involvement of dedicated volunteer helpers.
Coming from the other side, humans also tend to feel an instinctive attraction towards the interface between land and water. Billions of us live in coastal towns and cities, and those who don't often invest inordinate amounts of money and effort to be able to spend at least a few weeks per year by the seaside. The emotional basis of this migration behaviour has only recently become a subject of scientific investigation (Curr. Biol. (2013) 23, R501–R504).
Apart from just wanting to be beside the seaside, we also depend on the coasts for many different economic services, including fisheries, trade links, and off-shore sources of energy. The accumulation of people and their economic interests have put pressure on the shorelines, damaging their ecology and even their geology. Subsidence caused by groundwater extraction makes many coastal cities sink below sea level at much faster rates than the sea-level rise caused by climate change.
All these problems add up to degradation of the coastal environment and substantial threats to the global economy. Major cities around the world are increasingly at risk of flooding. Poorer populations are most vulnerable to events like typhoon Haiyan, which devastated parts of the Philippines in November 2013, but hurricane Sandy brought the taste of things to come to the shores of New York and New Jersey in October 2012. At the same time, economic development still continues to destroy natural coastal defences, such as tropical mangrove forests. Ideally, saving and restoring coastal ecology could make a significant contribution to saving populations and industries on the shores from going under.
Mangroves in Myanmar
Myanmar (Burma) is a flashpoint of coastal concerns in the tropics, as the country has recently opened up to international investment, and ecologists fear that development of large-scale agriculture for export could drive deforestation of the still substantive coastal mangroves especially in the Ayeryawady delta, even though these natural wetlands provide the 7.7 million people living in the delta with vital protection against tropical storms.
Edward Webb from the National University of Singapore and colleagues have recently analysed deforestation rates for the Ayeryawady delta, where mangroves shelter an important biodiversity hotspot and also provide protection to a coastal population vulnerable to storm surges (Global Environ. Change (2013) http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2013.10.007).
Analysing satellite data from 1978 to 2011 in combination with ground-based observations, the researchers found that the area lost 64.2% of its mangrove cover since 1978 and that this cover is declining much faster than was previously thought. The only area that did not see substantial decline was the Meinmahla Kyun Wildlife Sanctuary, located on a group of remote islands. By 2011, the mangrove cover was severely fragmented, with no coherent patch larger than 300 km2.
If deforestation continues at the average rate determined for the 33 years up to 2011, the delta (with the exception of the Meinmahla Kyun islands) will be bereft of mangrove cover by 2026. So far, much of the deforestation has served to create land for rice growing. As part of Myanmar's economic development and opening, international investment in high-value crops, such as rubber, jute, cotton, sugar cane and palm oil, is becoming more important and may add to the pressure on the remaining mangrove areas. Shrimp farming, which has been criticised for poor environmental stewardship in neighbouring Thailand, could also take up parts of the coastline.
Given the demands and pressures of an increasingly competitive economy, Myanmar would require strong institutional backing for environmental schemes to save the ecosystem services provided by the mangrove forests. Unfortunately, as Webb and colleagues conclude, "given the current state of environmental governance and regional precedents, recent policy developments seem poised to deeply and negatively affect remaining natural ecosystems across Myanmar."
Rising protection
The loss of coastal ecosystems like the mangroves in Myanmar is even more tragic because these natural protection barriers have the ability to adapt to rising sea levels. Studies of ancient mangroves and marshes have shown that they very rarely lose the race against rising water levels, as Matthew Kirwan from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and Patrick Megonigal from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre, both in the US, have explained in a recent review article (Nature (2013) 504, 53–60).
The response of wetlands, including mangrove forests in the tropics and tidal marshes in temperate climates, to sea-level rise is a complex mixture of biomass growth below and above ground, along with changes to the amount of sediment that the plants can hold back. The net effect is a build-up of height that is fast enough to keep up with sea-level rises like the current rate of up to three millimetres per year. Marshes confronted with much faster rises in the middle of the Holocene (i.e. around 8,200 years ago), due to the thaw after the last ice age, have survived rates of 7 mm per year but failed to cope with a rise of 12 mm per year.
Local effects like subsidence can add to the relative change of sea level, and the damming of rivers reduces the amount of sediment available to estuarine wetlands. Further complexity is added by the changes in global temperature and carbon dioxide levels, which may affect the resilience of different kinds of wetlands in different ways. However, even taking into account all of these problems and the acceleration of sea-level rise through climate change, Kirwan and Megonigal estimate that the tidal wetlands are likely to remain functional — as long as they are not forcibly removed by human activities.
Restoring wetlands
Preserving existing wetlands is obviously a good thing for the sake of coastal protection, but could European coasts benefit from restoration of tidal marshes long lost to land reclamation? Restoring tidal marshes requires more space than conventional 'hard' structural flood defences, but it will be more cost-efficient in the long term, argue Stijn Temmerman from the University of Antwerp and his colleagues (Nature (2013) 504, 79–83).
As sea levels continue to rise and many heavily populated coastal areas also suffer subsidence, coastal defence is becoming more and more expensive. In the Netherlands alone, the cost of keeping the North Sea out of the country that lies largely close to or below sea level is predicted to rise to 1.6 billion euros annually by 2050.
In the Scheldt estuary in neighbouring Belgium, a large-scale wetland restoration designed as an alternative and more affordable flood defence has already begun (http://www.sigmaplan.be/en). By 2030, the project aims to convert up to 4,000 hectares of reclaimed land to flood plains, creating 2,500 hectares of tidal marshes. Dykes will be placed further inwards and, thanks to the protection of the marshes acting as a buffer zone, they will not have to be as high and strong as would be necessary directly at the sea front.
Other marsh restoration projects are also underway in the Humber estuary (UK) as well as in San Francisco Bay and in the Mississippi delta in the US. In some areas, moving defences inland is also necessary in order to prevent wetlands from being squeezed out of existence by coastal erosion. In other places, where there is no space left that could be reconverted, Temmerman and colleagues suggest that the creation of reefs could be considered as an ecosystem-based flood defence. The authors conclude that ecologists and engineers should join forces to explore further options.
Concerted efforts
Rising sea levels and disappearing ecological defences are not the only problems that coastal areas face. At the international level, there is an increasing awareness that many of the environmental problems that our civilisation has brought upon itself are either focused on the shorelines or most obvious in their vicinity. Fertiliser run-off from agricultural lands produces eutrophication of coastal waters, marine litter washes up on Norway's otherwise flawless beaches, and disoriented whales as well as dead sea turtles are brought ashore by the tides, while oil spills, such as the one from the Deep Water Horizon disaster in April 2010, threaten coastal ecosystems.
A recent report released by the European Environment Agency (EEA), Balancing the future of Europe's coasts (http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/balancing-the-future-of-europes), summarises the economic importance of the coasts and the pressures that they are exposed to and calls for a concerted effort to manage these conflicting interests.
A previous effort, the EU's Recommendation on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), dates from 2002, but the new report finds that its implementation across the EU is no better than 50%, which it blames on lack of clear administrative responsibilities for coastal matters. A new directive aiming to clear up the red tape is underway.
Meanwhile, an important issue highlighted by the report is the coordinated collection and use of high-quality geo-spatial data concerning the environmental health of coastal regions. Combining diverse and non-matching regional datasets to build an integrated high-technology mapping effort, as provided recently for forests on a global scale (Curr. Biol. (2014) 24, R1–R4), could transform the management of coastal areas as well as the research into coastal ecology.
The report also announces that the EEA is currently developing a system of accounts to quantify 'ecosystem capital', such as fish stocks or biodiversity, and to track changes to this capital, e.g. from environmental degradation or over-exploitation. Similarly, the report also calls for vulnerabilities of coastal locations to be assessed and monitored, such as coastal erosion, eutrophication, or loss of sediment in the Venice lagoon.
There is also scope for international research collaborations motivated by the shared problems of coastal regions around the world. For instance, the current EU Framework Programme, FP7, includes a project known as JERICO (Joint European Infrastructure for Coastal Observations, http://www.jerico-fp7.eu/), which runs until April 2015. The JERICO network aims "to build a solid and transparent organization towards an operational service for the timely, continuous and sustainable delivery of high quality environmental data and information products related to the marine environment in European coastal seas. This will give generic support to protect environment and biodiversity, understand climate change and better predict related impacts and facilitate the sustainable exploitation of marine resources."
The collaborative project uses a number of robotic monitoring devices such as Argo floats and remote-control gliders. It also aims at improving data compatibility in the field.
The green ray
In contrast to other fields where unsustainable use of planetary resources endangers the survival of our civilisation (Curr. Biol. (2013) 23, R1017–R1020), the current threats to coastal lands are directly endangering economic assets to an extent that it appears likely that mitigating measures will happen reasonably quickly. Even though North Carolina has passed legislation in 2012 to ignore climate change, other places like New York and New Jersey, along with much of Europe, will act to protect the valuable assets lined up along their coasts.
While economic interests in developing countries like Myanmar are still driving destructive changes to the coastal environment, the economies lining the European shores realise that they have to save their coasts to save themselves. In some cases, as in Belgium, they may even find that restoring wetlands is the more economic option, and helps both the coastal economy and the ecology. This unique aspect of the importance of the seashores for both people and nature may encourage mutual support, which may help to ensure that, even in a few decades from now, both turtles and humans will still be able to benefit from their visits to the beaches.
