Paris polyphylla
Common Name: Paris Family: Trilliaceae (The Trillium Family)
Notes:Perhaps more than any other perennial, this rare woodland treasure earns the right to be called "exquisite". Paris polyphylla is a Trillium relative from the Himalayas, Western China, and southeast Asia. The stem is circled by a single whorl of glossy, green leaves which is echoed by the flower with its own whorl of green bracts subtending threadlike yellow-green petals, golden stamens and purple ovary. Part shade in rich soil. Can take a 'year off' after planting and not emerge till the next year.
Geogrpahical Origin:Asia - China and Japan
Recommended Companion Plants: Impatiens omeiana Lilium martagon Arisaema sikokianum "Patterned Selection" Cypripedium formosanum

I've just returned from my most fabulous hotel stay to date at none other than the AMAZING Hotel Pelirocco in Brighton. My boyfriend and I chose to stay in the bowery room as I felt it was screaming my name (see first two photos and you'll totally understand why) and it was so beautiful and cosy. The theme is dedicated to performance artist Leigh Bowery and features so many gorgeous visuals around the room. The room is one of their smaller ones but it was super comfy and perfect for the two of us!
Whilst we were there the lovely Cecily showed me around some of their other themed rooms and I've featured my favourite ones down below. There are so many intricate details in every room and such a wide range of themes, there's something for all different tastes but especially ones who love a whole lot of quirk.
FYI they have a bar downstairs that features pink tables, a gold glittery sofa and some bangin' cocktails! The location is perfect as it's right next to the seaside and walking distance to everything else too. I'll 10000% be returning again so thank you so much Hotel Pelirocco for having me :D
Even the toilets are super cute!

Leather, printed silk, "animalier" prints, hand-printed jeans, patchwork and bright colours are the semantic traits of a language that in 40 years has renewed itself with the constancy and strength of the modernity imposed by 40 years of history, fast and furious in their passing.

The Alabama Supreme Court late today (Tuesday, March 3) ordered all of the state's probate judges to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, in defiance of orders from a federal district court judge overturning the Alabama same-sex marriage ban, and a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court refusing to block the district judge's order.
The Alabama Supreme Court is headed up by right-wing Chief Jerk… uh, Chief Justice Roy Moore, who has fought marriage equality tooth and nail. He has told probate judges they didn't have to follow the federal court rulings, and last month told Fox News he has a moral responsibility to defy the U.S. Supreme Court if the court violates "God's organic law" by ruling in favor of marriage equality.
The state's highest court said Alabama wasn't bound by this "new definition" of marriage, though marriage equality has "gained ascendancy in certain quarters of the country," including the federal judiciary.
The supreme court's ruling said: "As it has done for approximately two centuries, Alabama law allows for 'marriage' between only one man and one woman. Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to this law. Nothing in the United States Constitution alters or overrides this duty."
The court also said, " … state courts may interpret the United States Constitution independently from, and even contrary to, federal courts."
Probate judges have five days to respond to the order.
Lawyers who represented same-sex couples seeking the right to marry in Alabama decried the ruling.
Shannon Minter with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, one of the organizations representing same-sex couples fighting for marriage equality in Alabama, called the ruling "deeply unfortunate" that "the Alabama Supreme Court is determined to be on the wrong side of history."

The Really Cooks Make A Christmas Music Video to Raise Money for a Music Video
The Really Cooks decided that it was a great idea to make a music video to raise money for a music video. Yes you heard that right. They ran a huge Kickstarter campaign where they made a bunch of well-produced videos to raise money for a well-produced video.
Did they raise the money? Of course not.
John from social media says "Why do you need money, if you already can make music videos"
Good point John!

Noida, June 11: Four students from India made entire nation proud by winning world's biggest mathematical puzzle championship, KenKen International Championship, held in US. But, Noida's Gaurav Pandey doubled the celebration by becoming KenKen international champion.
KenKen is a grid-based numerical puzzle that uses basic math operations while challenging the logic and problem-solving skills of participants. It is recognised by NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, USA), an independent authority, as a powerful tool to build reasoning skills in kids.
As per an ANI report, held at New York's Pace University on May 31, 2015, the championship involved 4 gruelling elimination rounds - school, state, national and international. A total 35,000 Indian students from 200 schools and 16 states participated in the elimination rounds.
The championship was held for three categories - Delta for students of grade 3 to 5, Kappa for students of grade 6 to 9 and Sigma for grade 10 onwards.
The winners from India represented in Delta and Kappa categories. Three champions were selected from each category, so in top 9, Indian participants secured 4 positions. Five national winners from India made it to the international round, and four emerged as victorious.
In Delta category, all the winners came from India with Gaurav Pandey, of Nodia's Ryan International School, securing first position followed by Dhani Bhangani and Shristi Chakraborty.
Devika Pillai, from India, secured first position in the Kappa category, followed by Dorovitsine Peter from Europe and Hankewycz Zachar of Japan.
In the Sigma category, Grueskin Eleanor of United States, came first followed by Meller Mack from USA as first runner-up and Stricker Michael of Japan coming third.
Finally, for the World KenKen Champion title (across all categories), the winner from three categories competed in the final knock-off round where they all were provided the same puzzle which they solved in front of the audience.
Pandey, a class 5 student, made India proud by being declared the KenKen International Champion. In the final, Pandey took less than half the time taken by any other participants to complete the puzzle.
Devika Pillai of the OP Jindal School in Keonjhar, Odisha, was the first runner-up, while Eleanor of the Winchester County School, United States, was second runner-up.
ANI quoted Robert Furher, organiser of KenKen international championship in New York admitted, as saying, "Everyone is super impressed with the Indian team, and especially Gaurav, who has defeated Mack Meller, the defending USA national champion from our annual December tournament."

We are 7 people from different nationalities that started AirBnB (Germany, France, Ukraine, Spain and Japan) , providing affordable accommodations, appropriate service and a warm welcome to tourists coming to Tokyo.
The location is our strongest appealing point. You can easily go anywhere since all the accommodations are within a 5 minute walk from the stations. For most of the places, the nearest station is JR Otsuka station, which serves the circular line JR Yamanote, the main and most used line in Tokyo. You can easily and quickly go to places such as:
Ikebukuro (2min)
Nippori (10min)
Shinjuku (11 min)
Ueno (13min)
Harajuku (15min)
Shibuya (17min)
Akihabara (18min)
Tokyo (22min)
The rooms are comfortable and fully equipped with all the utensils you need (microwave, oven, dishes, cutlery, fridge, toaster, water boiler, hair dryer, etc.).
The daily rent for guesthouse rooms (You have your own room, share kitchen and shower room with other tourists or locals) are three thousand nine hundred yen to four thousand eight hundred yen.

We also have monthly prices, they are ranging from fifty five thousand yen to a hundred fifty seven thousand yen/month.

Also, you can buy food from all over the world (Italian, Chinese, Thai, Halal food etc). There are several supermarkets that are open till midnight, and many 24/7 restaurants, bars and Izakaya.

We will guide you to the property and explain about our recommendations on our way, then how all the appliances and remotes work in the flat.

Finally, if you want to get along with locals and other international people traveling or currently living in Tokyo, we invite you to visit our international bar SPEAK EASY, which is located just in front of JR Otsuka station's North Exit too (taking only 10 seconds from the office!).

Be aware of calving dangers
I got a phone call from a friend last week.
"I want you to do a favour for me. I feel that I'm very lucky to be alive. Maybe if you can convey my experience, it can act as a warning to other farmers at this busy time of the year."
The man on the other end of the phone was Cyril Goode, Seabank, Arklow, Co Wicklow.
Vet, farmer and former secretary of the Irish Simmental Cattle Society. He was speaking from a hospital bed in Dublin where he was nursing broken ribs on both sides of his body.
His story went like this.
"Calving of our suckler herd was in full swing. So much so that the calving pens were full and the conveyor line was starting to back up. In one shed we had 30 first-calving heifers bedded on straw and with a feeding passage along a barrier.
"Overnight two of the heifers calved, then another and then another. With four newborn calves I was afraid of a mix-up so I decided to remove them to separate mothering-up pens. As it happened two of the heifers and calves were close to the shed door when I went to get them out.
"As I guided them out one calf hung back. It was nervous about coming down off the straw bed. When I went to handle the calf the mother suddenly attacked me. I had a fork in my hand and I tried to fight her off but she knocked me and kept hitting me.

Identifying old german photos from NY
My uncle has given me a huge collection of old photos that he received from his grandmother before she past. Nobody that is living in my family can identify the people in the photos. They are cardboard photos with a slight gloss on the front and the location and name of the studio on the back and bottom. I am guessing they are from the early 20th, late 19th century. All of them are studios in NY and have some sort of German writing or German sounding name as the studio name.
My question is....Is there a way to identify these people? Maybe a way to contact the studio or whoever has taken over the studio. Maybe somebody has been given the rights to the negatives and would be able to find names associated to each?
Here are some of the studio names. I have looked them up online but not too much shows up:
Shackell & Clauss
J. Goodman Studios
The Ollivier
H. Grimschl
JK Coole
Wm Hohenstein
The R&R Studios
Two of the photos have a number written on the back likely to be the number for the negative. Also, most of them state that duplicates can be had at any time....if only that is true haha.

The Boyne Valley and its Megalithic Monuments
July 15-16, 1999:
The 'Big Mamas' of Megalithic Tombs are in the Boyne Valley. About an hour north of Dublin, the trinity of Dowth, Knowth and Newgrange contain 80% of the megalithic art in Ireland and are by far the largest passage tombs known.
Dowth is closed to the public because of the excavations going on there, and Knowth is only open on the outside because the passageways have collapsed due to the millennia of construction on the hill by by Bronze Age Kings, Saxons, Normans, and Monks.
The complex at Knowth is a series of passage graves. The giant one in the center is unique in that it contains two passages, each over a hundred feet long.
The kerb stones which the builders put in place to hold the mound up were decorated (sometimes on both sides) with these non-linear designs.
Is this squiggle a snake (there are none in Ireland, but the ancient Irish may well have known of them) or a river? Or something else? If you've got an idea you can e-mail us, we'd love to hear.
Some think these Horseshoe shapes are symbols for the sun. We wondered if it was maybe the eclipse. What about the moon?
One reader in 2003 e-mailed to suggest they are cross-sections of boats for the journey onward.
And spirals, spirals everywhere. Maybe this was like the generic people signs we see today and had a universal meaning for stone age humans.
Next stop on the tour bus was Newgrange. Unlike Knowth and Dowth, this tomb's been left almost untouched inside. The white stone facing is made of quartz and was reconstructed from the fallen stones found on site. In the sun it glistens like studded glass and to the ancients it must have looked like magic.
They risked their lives to bring these stones from sources many weeks away by dugout canoe.
This stone is famous. On the left hand side you can see one of only three known examples of the tri-spiral.
The second example is in the passageway that leads up into the darkness under the mound. It's on the left hand side.
And the third example is in the small chamber at the end of the passage, facing back towards the door. Though the main chamber can hold two dozen, this last chamber could only fit one or two people. Long ago, perhaps, the high priestess would stand here and pour sacred water on the tri-spiral as she waited in absolute darkness on Winter Solstice Morning.
Then, when the sun rises, a ray of sunlight shaped like a dagger slowly creeps up the chamber and strikes the panel in the back. It only happens on the five days surrounding and including winter solstice (and then only if the sun is shining).
If you want to see it, you're out of luck. The waiting list is already full till the year 2006 when they're going to do something else, perhaps a lottery. (But if you want to see it, you should become a guide. Most of them won't tell you this, but one of the five days each year is reserved for the Newgrange guide staff. They deserve it after dealing with so many tourists day in and day out. )
Whenever you can see something amazing that other's don't know about, you feel really proud of yourself. Such was the case with us at Loughcrew. The Dutch couple we met at Carrowkeel told us about Loughcrew, and we were glad we went. Not technically part of the Boyne Valley, they're not too far away by modern transportation.
Nobody else was there. We left a deposit for the key and walked through fields past standing stones and ring forts
We were rewarded by time alone with some amazing cairns and rock art.
We learned at Newgrange that the right-hand chamber is always bigger and more ornate. Here you see it also has a basin stone.
These double spirals are everywhere. They have that same sort of non-linear placement that seems to be trying to say something, but not loud enough for our modern ears.
At Loughcrewthere's also a unique tomb that has seven chambers. It was once as big as Queen Maeve's, but now most of the covering stones are gone.
This site was used in the Bronze age as well and contains an altar stone that was a bronze age addition.
More swirls and spirals. Could be the sun and moon, but we'll never know for sure.
There's a great site showing some equinox pictures from Loughcrew.

Russian Opposition Leader Challenges Estonia's "Black List"
Vladimir Linderman, member of the Russian opposition's proto-parliament, the National Assembly, and deputy chairman of the banned National Bolshevik Party (NBP), will make a second attempt to travel from Helsinki through Estonia back to his country of residence, Latvia, on 10 December 2008.
During his previous trip to Finland in late October 2008, Linderman was stopped on the Estonian border and deported back to Finland. The Estonian Border Guard informed Linderman that he was blacklisted and was barred entry to Estonia.
"I am of the firm opinion that the very fact that such "black lists" exist in Europe is appalling," Linderman said.
"Such lists are absolutely contradictory to the principle of developing a common European legal environment. Europe should follow common legal principles. Measures such as banning my entry to Estonia creates divisions within Europe," Linderman said.
On 10 December 2008, Vladimir Linderman will take the ferry, M/S Viking XPRS, from Helsinki to Tallinn, on his way home to Latvia. He has informed the Estonian authorities about his second attempt to cross Estonia, and has asked them not to obstruct his passage.
10 December 2008 is the United Nations' Human Rights Day and the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Air Canada says it has filed documents with the Quebec Superior Court asking to cancel its contracts with Aveos Fleet Performance Inc., which has shuttered its doors and filed for creditor protection.
Aveos filed for creditor protection last month and laid off more than 2,600 employees across the country when it ceased operations.
An Air Canada spokesman said Wednesday the company is asking to end the contracts and for clarity in Aveos's dismantling process.
Air Canada wants to "facilitate direct negotiations with the various maintenance suppliers, including those identified through the divestiture process, to achieve viable, competitive long-term arrangements," Peter Fitzpatrick said.
Frustrated former Aveos employees have accused the Harper Conservatives of being in a conspiracy with Air Canada by not enforcing a law they say requires heavy maintenance work to be done in Canada.
If Air Canada's motion is successful, it would make it more difficult to sell Aveos as one business — and save the jobs of some 2,600 employees, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Canadian general vice-president Dave Ritchie said Wednesday.
He added that the government needs to step in to prevent jobs from being lost to overseas companies.
"We have a problem because the federal government has to date refused to step up on this issue and Air Canada's legal actions contradict the commitments of its CEO Calin Rovinescu," Mr. Ritchie said in a statement.
"These court actions contradict the commitment Mr. Rovinescu gave to the parliamentary Standing Committee on Transportation, Infrastructure and Communities in early April of this year. He said Air Canada would participate in any effort to find new investors to create a new MRO that would provide jobs to Aveos workers. This is not the way to go about it."
The Montreal-based airline has said it has sent several aircraft to government-approved Canadian and international maintenance providers since the Aveos closure.
For the long-term, it is taking proposals from maintenance suppliers and said it will give preference to suppliers that have or will have some portion of operations in Montreal, Winnipeg, Vancouver or Toronto.
Air Canada said last week its first-quarter results, scheduled for release May 4 ,will include $120-million in charges related to the shutdown of the insolvent aircraft repair and overhaul provider.
Meanwhile, the province of Quebec has said it's willing to provide financial support to potential buyers of Aveos as long as they maintain jobs in Montreal.
It is also taking Air Canada to court, aiming to force it to adhere to the law enacted when the airline was privatized in 1988.
Montreal-based Phoenix Aerospace Inc. said last Friday it was interested in re-launching part of Aveos's maintenance activities as a prelude to a major expansion project.
Phoenix Aerospace currently employs about 90 full- and part-time workers and is prepared to hire dozens of terminated Aveos workers in the short-term to complete the refurbishment of an Air Canada Airbus A320 that sits in an Aveos hangar.

ExperienceWelcome to my page!
If you're looking to add that extra spark to your essays, need help studying for that upcoming test, or just need help understanding the great American novel, look no further! As a college level writing tutor, I assisted students with their class assignments at any stage of the writing process: pre-writing/idea generating, outlining ideas and setting up paragraphs, and proofreading rough drafts and final copies.
As an English major, I've read my share of 'classics' and, I'll admit, I had some trouble understanding some of what the author was really trying to say. As your tutor, I will do my best to make sure that you are able to 'pick out' the real meaning of the text in order to accurately respond to almost any test question.
In addition to the college age crowd, I have worked as a summer camp counselor for four summers and love working with kids. Most recently, I ran the photography and darkroom program at camp and taught the kids some basic photography shooting techniques, as well as all the steps included in developing film the old fashion way in a chemical darkroom.
HobbiesI love sports and swim recreationally, run competitively, and have fallen in love with the snow covered mountains of Vermont during recent ski trips.
I also enjoy wring poetry, fiction, and one of my dreams is to write a novel.

Recently I've written quite a few articles and did a little experiment to see which revenue sharing site ended up bringing in more income. I wrote an article last week about whether Factoidz or Triond is the better site to bring in an extra income as well. (I go into more detail in that article, so if you are looking for a lot more information on which is better, check that out.) I really wanted to start at the beginning of the month, submitting the same amount of articles to both sites and see which brings in more page views and income. I found out that Factoidz brings in quite a bit more than Triond.
It is sad since Triond used to be a great site. When I first signed on with Triond, I was getting decent money and my Factoidz earnings were dwindling down. However, that's completely changed and Factoidz is bringing me in a great amount of income at this point. There are a few reasons for that, I believe:
- Factoidz helps to promote their site and your articles. On Triond you are on your own. You have to submit your site to Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon and other Social Networking and Bookmarking sites or your article will go unseen. It doesn't seem as if Google will crawl the sites of Triond and list them in their searches, while they do Factoidz.
- Triond does not require a writing sample for their sites, meaning there are a lot of low quality articles there. It is really hard for Triond to be taken seriously as a professional site when there are many typos and articles with no substance. They need to do more editing and refusing articles that are not up to standards. However, they don't.
- Triond has forums that are extremely unhelpful. Their forums are full of profanity and users putting other users down. It reminds me of High School with the cliques and bullshit from the "popular kids". New users are getting discouraged that they are being put down the way they are and they're leaving the site.
The only advantage that Triond has over Factoidz is Triond gives you Google AdSense earnings while Factoidz does not. Now, if more people could see your Triond articles and actually get to see the ads on the site, this could be a great advantage. If only Triond did more to actively help their users, maybe they would gain more readers and more writers.
Factoidz, however, gives you an activity bonus per article. It ranges from $.20-$4, but that seems to be decreasing for seasoned writers. Many Factoidz writers agree that their bonuses are drastically going down and I am curious as well. While the bonuses going down is very frustrating to their writers, they still do more for their writers than Triond and articles still get 50> views per day with no promotion on the writers part. Triond gets maybe about <20.
It is only the beginning of the month, but I've been experimenting with this for 11 days. My Triond earnings are at $3.96 (not including adsense) while my Factoidz earnings are $18.33. (This does not include Factoidz product reviews.) I really do feel that until Triond gets their act together, Factoidz is definitely the site to go to make that extra pocket income.

Picture: Dead Prez The Rock The Bells festival at the First Midwest Bank Ampitheatre Chicago, Illinois - 19.07.08
American rappers Dead Prez are heading to Britain later this month (APR06) to headline The Bigger Than Hip-Hop Tour in a bid to promote equality and political awareness. The hip-hop stars will appear alongside a host of established UK acts, including RODNEY P, SKITZ and Blak Twang, as well as emerging artists, to draw attention to groups promoting political awareness and social equality. Organiser KATE GLINSMAN tells AllHipHop.com, "The participation of all these organisations is testament to the need for more community activism. "It is crucial that this generation understand the philosophy and guiding principles behind positive action to create a united and progressive society. It's about more than music, but it's a great place to start." A third of the profits from the tour - which runs from 27 April to 4 May - will be donated to charities including Justice For Colombia and AfriKids. The organisation Love Music, Hate Racism will provide speakers at each of the shows to spread an anti-racist message.

AlphaWaveT: A New Source of GRAS affirmed L-Theanine from Ethical Naturals
AlphaWave™: A New Source of GRAS affirmed L-Theanine from Ethical Naturals
San Anselmo, CA, May 26, 2010 – Could L-Theanine be the perfect antidote to our over-stimulated, over-caffeinated world? Many it seems would agree including Ethical Naturals Inc. (ENI) which has developed AlphaWave™, purified L-Theanine for use in supplements and beverages to promote relaxation.
Today, purified L-Theanine is widely used in supplements by major innovative brands such as Dr's Best, NOW Foods and Jarrow Formulas. The use of L-Theanine as a key ingredient in a new wave of calming beverages and calming "shots" is expanding almost daily. Several high profile companies in this area are: RelaxZen, Mellow Day, Tranquila and V.I.B. (Vacation in a Bottle)
For the beverage area of the industry, GRAS affirmation becomes ever more critical, and for both supplement and beverage use, the new AlphaWave™ material provides a highly purified alternative to the widely used Suntheanine brand.
Purified L-Theanine: Can you drink enough tea?
Because L-Theanine is found in tea leaves at a concentration of less than 2%, and effective dosage levels are 100mg – 200mg/day, one can't consume truly effective levels just by drinking tea. For this reason, it's also not practical to refine a purified form from this source.
ENI's AlphaWaveTM purified L-Theanine is manufactured in a proprietary process by which it is derived from another naturally occurring amino acid, and is standardized to 98% L-Theanine. This purified material is chemically identical to that found in green tea (Camelia sinensis), and is ideal for use in supplements and beverages.
Taiyo Inc., the manufacturer of Suntheanine (the other prominent brand of purified, GRAS affirmed L-Theanine) describes their manufacturing process as synthetic enzymatic fermentation. Both companies emphasize the importance of purified source of material which is chemically identical to the constituent in green tea.
AlphaWave™ is also offered in a Calming Blend, containing purified L-Theanine with extracts of: Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Passion Flower, Hops and Valerian.
Cal Bewicke, President of ENI states, "We are very pleased to be able to offer our AlphaWave™ source of purified L-Theanine which meets the same level of quality as our other ingredients. We feel that an alternative source, which is GRAS affirmed and passed through our ProfileProven™ quality assurance program, will make a genuine contribution to the industry, and enable more people to experience the benefits of using purified L-Theanine. We encourage people to Ride the Wave," Bewicke ends.
Background of L-Theanine
L-Theanine (gamma-glutamylethylamide, or 5-N-ethyl-glutamine) is an amino acid derivative that was first isolated and identified in green tea leaves in 1949 and in mushrooms (Xerocomus badius) in the early 1950s. Since then, clinical trials have confirmed the ability of L-Theanine to promote a desirable state of alert relaxation – a focused calm without drowsiness.
L-Theanine creates this sense of relaxation via at least two different mechanisms. First, it directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness similar to that achieved through meditation. Secondly, L-Theanine is involved in the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma amino butyric acid (GABA). GABA influences the levels of two other neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin, also producing key relaxing effects. Furthermore, L-Theanine has been shown to reduce mental and physical stress, and improves cognition and mood in a synergistic manner with caffeine.
About Ethical Naturals Inc.
ENI is dedicated to bringing a new level of knowledge and integrity to the supply of key natural raw materials for the health supplement industry. For more information, please visit: http://www.ethicalnaturals.com <http://www.ethicalnaturals.com/>

Aspire X-QPack ReviewFeatures »
A closer look
The case can take two 5.25 inch parts and one 3.5 inch part. The black round button is the power button, which makes it easy to reach for, considering the contrast to the silver. The case has three windows, which are covered with thin plastic on the in- and outside to protect it during shipment, or even during installation. I will not remove the plastic until the installation is completed. The back has room for the installed 12cm fan and the power supply. Below that is the slide out mainboard tray, which will come in handy during installation. Last, I have put one of my aluminum midi towers right next to the Aspire X-QPack, which is much wider, just a bit over half as high, and a bit shorter than the midi tower.
One thing I missed here, were punch outs for legacy connectors like COM ports. There is plenty of unused space on the back of the mainboard tray and making one or two punch outs for such devices may prove useful. I, for one, use a serial port for my remote control infrared receiver.

MILAN, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Italian yellow pages company Seat Pagine Gialle said on Monday it had decided to suspend the payment of 42.2 million euros ($56.8 million) of interest due on Jan 31 on senior secured notes, as its business environment worsens.
It said its 2011-2013 strategy plan as well as 2015 target set by previous management were under review.
The decision comes as the company carries out an assessment of its debt and asset profile on the back of worsening economic and market conditions, according to a statement.
Seat, which underwent radical debt restructuring, said any decision on the interest payment will depend on the outcome of the assessment and will be made before the end a grace period.
Seat said it had enough financial resources to meet coming debt maturities. Its board will meet again before Feb. 6.

The Trump sledgehammer is coming down about as hard as it can on the Environmental Protection Agency -- no muscle spared.
The administration has been working overtime talking up Scott Pruitt, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the EPA -- no, not lead the EPA, rather savage it. By all accounts, they were running around Thursday delivering copies of Steve Milloy's "Scare Pollution: Why and How to Fix the EPA" to key members of Congress.
In a telephone interview Thursday, a congressional aide told Sunshine State News, "It's so visible. In spite of the Democrats' opposition to Pruitt and their counter-maneuvers, the administration is putting its full weight behind him, more than they did for most nominees. I wouldn't bet against Scott Pruitt."
In fact, amid a Democrat boycott, Republicans in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Thursday suspended committee rules in order to advance Pruitt's nomination.
The committee's approval now pushes his nomination to the full Senate floor for a vote. Republicans unanimously approved Oklahoma Attorney General Pruitt with an 11-0 vote.
Pruitt is no mystery. He's built his political career on trying to tear down environmental protections. His official biography even states he is "a leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda."
Pruitt has filed briefs in 14 lawsuits against the EPA. Although many of his cases have been dismissed by the courts, his critics say it's worth considering "the impact if he had succeeded: 850,000 additional asthma attacks every year, 28,000 emergency room visits, and three million missed school days and work days."
But it is author Milloy, who runs the website Junkscience.com, who shapes the president's powerful case for Pruitt.
Milloy has chronicled the scientific and bureaucratic abuse at the EPA for two decades, and says he's thrilled by Trump's plans to finally reform the EPA.
"I can think of no agency that has done more pointless harm to the U.S. economy than the EPA -- all based on junk science, if not out-and-out science fraud," Milloy told National Review writer Julie Kelly. "I am looking forward to President Trump's dramatically shrinking the EPA by entirely overhauling how the remaining federal EPA uses science."
Milloy's book Scare Pollution is a pretty scathing analysis of an unelected body with clout that rivals the president's -- and a bad record that gets worse, the more encouragement it gets.
To say the author doesn't like these agency folks much is akin to saying the French didn't like the Nazis occupying Paris.
Here's what Milloy says in his book -- in a passage Magic-Markered in yellow in the copies that went to senators:
"The EPA has over the course of the last 20 years marshaled its vast and virtually unchallenged power into an echo chamber of deceptive science, runaway regulations and fatally flawed research derived from unethical human experiments.
"The EPA's conduct runs the gamut from subtle statistical shenanigans to withholding key scientific data, from seeking to rubberstamp baseless research data to illegally spraying diesel exhaust up the noses of unsuspecting children and other vulnerable populations."
The signs are all there: Trump officials and Congress are ready to make major changes in the EPA.
A leaked memo written by Trump's EPA transition team details how the new administration wants to tackle shoddy science at the agency. The memo asserts that the EPA should not be funding scientific research, and it must make any data publicly available for independent scientists to review. It also said that the agency must eliminate conflicts of interest and bias from the science advisory process.
The administration also put a freeze on most contracts and grants, pending further review by incoming staff. National Review reports, a good chunk of the EPA's $8.3 billion budget is spent on grants to universities and units of government; its 2017 budget for state- and tribal-assistant grants was nearly $3.3 billion.
The agency also has nearly $6.4 billion in outstanding contractual obligations to dozens of companies across the country, dating back to 2001. These will get much-needed scrutiny over the next several months. Milloy insists it's a necessary step:
"The EPA uses tax dollars to fund its friends and allies, who tend to be political activists and 'political' scientists. There has been no effective oversight of the EPA because Republicans have lacked the numbers and often the will to challenge the all-powerful EPA."
Milloy said he isn't surprised by the scientific community's apoplexy; his book details how the EPA funded nearly $600 million in bogus research to buttress the agency's regulatory overreach:
"It's all about the money," he said. "The EPA pays university scientists massive amounts of money to support its agenda and their institutions are more than happy to oblige by doing what the EPA wants, regardless of merit."
(Now I know where the Everglades Foundation got its operating model.)
Meanwhile, prior to Thursday's vote, Environmental Public Works Committee Chairman Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said, "Elections have consequences and the new president is entitled to put in place members to complete his agenda. Now it is time to set up a functioning government. That includes a functioning EPA."
Democrats on Wednesday said they boycotted the vote because Pruitt had not answered questions they submitted to the nominee in writing.
"The committee Democrats are deeply concerned about the lack of thoroughness of Mr. Pruitt's responses to our questions for the record," Delaware Sen. Thomas R. Carper, the committee's ranking Democrat, wrote in a letter to Barrasso. "We believe these inquiries, and our questions for the record, elicit information from the nominee that he possesses and that he should be able to provide to the committee ... Failure on his part to do so is not only an affront; it also denies Democratic committee members, and all members of the Senate, information necessary to judge his fitness to assume the important role of leading the EPA."
Writer Kelly said scientists feel so threatened by the Trump administration that some are planning a protest this spring modeled after the Jan. 21 Women's March.

As part of efforts to strengthen health care delivery in Abia State, the state government has warned medical doctors in her employ who allegedly abandon their statutory duties for private practice that those caught would be sanctioned .
The commissioner for Health, Dr. John Ahukanna said the ministry was disturbed by the attitude of some doctors, who instead of working conscientiously in the hospitals they are posted to, spend more time in their private clinics.
He appealed for a change of attitude to work and more commitment to their statutory duties warning that if there was no appreciable change sanctions would be the appropriate option.
Speaking to journalists in Umuahia, the commissioner disclosed that the ministry has given the newly constituted Hospitals Management Board directive to constitute a monitoring team to supervise the activities of the doctors and other health workers in government health institutions and report regularly to him for appropriate action.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
He also frowned at the over bloated work force at the state Hospital Management Board which he said is not justifiable in terms of productivity adding that government "cannot continue to waste resources on redundant workers."
The commissioner added that the state government has stepped up measures to make the hospitals and other health facilities in the state functional and give optimal services to the people.
He said the government has embarked on the construction four residential quarters for doctors with utilities like bore holes, and electricity adding that the quarters are located at Okeikpe, Arochukwu, Ikwuano, and Obingwa local government areas.
Dr Ahukanna said that it has become necessary to rekindle the confidence of the Abia residents in the government hospitals through the provision of enough qualified medical staff and equipment.
He added that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has approved the employment of specialized health workers including Doctors, Pharmacists nurses laboratory Scientists to ensure that the health care delivery in the state was standardized.

(Adds context)
By Robert Hogg
LONDON, May 15 (IFR) - France has mandated banks for a 30-year syndicated bond that will be the first test of investor appetite since centrist Emmanuel Macron was elected President in early May.
The sovereign has mandated BNP Paribas, Citigroup, HSBC, JP Morgan and Societe Generale for the May 25 2048 transaction, and will follow French public sector and bank borrowers which poured into the market last week, taking advantage of tighter spreads on offer.
Bpifrance printed its largest ever deal, while Compagnie de Financement Foncier was able to issue through its outstanding curve. Other credits joined in as international investors rushed back to the jurisdiction.
"They had a deep think about the best timing," said a lead. "Waiting for the election to pass made a lot of sense because of the volatility...clearly market conditions are good. Also we saw a flurry of issuance last week and everything went quite well."
The spread between France and Germany blew out from 21.5bp in September 2016 to 79bp in February 2017 as concerns about a potential win by far right candidate Marine Le Pen escalated. It has since recovered to 39.5bp.
France's transaction will be launched by syndication in the near future. All other primary dealers in the Republic of France government bond market will be invited into the syndicate.
The issuer is rated Aa2/AA/AA/AAA, all with stable outlooks. (Reporting by Robert Hogg, Editing by Helene Durand and Sudip Roy)

Vivitar's "Action" Camera
Thinking about getting a second camera for my bike; one that faces behind me. Don't have a lot of money at the moment, so a GoPro is probably out of the question. Was looking thru the Sunday ads yesterday and came across this camera on sale at Tiger Direct.....
Checking the specs both at Tiger Direct's and Vivitar's websites, it sounds like a decent enough camera to do what I want it to do.
Just wondering if anyone here owns one, or has experience with one? If so, could you share your opinion of it?
Thanks in advance.
I saw one at big lots. I looked up test videos on YouTube and the video quality kinda sucks.
When a product is as sparse on detail in the specifications as that is, it's generally not a good sign. It doesn't say anything about what the video resolution is, how it's stored (Motion JPEG, h.264, etc) or anything. It's not guaranteed crap, because for $30 you can get a #16 HD keychain camera that actually shoots reasonable video, but it's probably not very good.
Now, having said all that, I probably will be passing on this. May have a chance to pic up a used GoPro (first generation) that a friend may part with when he gets his GoPro 3 White this coming weekend.
AVI isn't really telling you much, AVI is just the bucket it shovels data into. I'd want to know the codec. That's more important than the container.
None of it matters much if they have a lousy compression chip or their bitrate is too low though, you'll still get crap video. It's even possible that they're interpolating up to 1280x720. You don't really know until you test it.

Letter(s) from Ekaterina Silaeva to Ken (USA)
Letter 1
Hello my dear friend Ken!
In this letter I want to tell to you about my family. I have no parents, my mum has died 4 years ago, and the daddy which 7 years ago has been lost in accident, my unique relatives who are alive, it is my grandmother and the grandfather, I very strongly love them as native parents. I think, that the ideal partner for me is that who does me better, than I am. I search for someone who adheres to his own values or beliefs and does not allow a society to do it by someone whom it actually is not, to change it. I search for someone who is fair and loyal to people who could cares of me, someone who will consider me yours faithfully and wants to learn me well, outside of superficial qualities. I believe, that "friendship" is a part of attitudes more important than something else which too is frequently ignored or passed for more seen purposes. It seems heavy for understanding, but it should have sense of humour, enjoy sports (or at least to be the fan), to be the active person and simply to rise since morning and to do things - me it is not pleasant to be engaged, sit and spend nothing all for nothing day!
It probably should like to travel and see new places. I like to travel and investigate new places, to look as people live in places excellent, than those to which I have got used. Let's look... My ideal partner should be intellectual and careful about his family. The family is so important for me... I also admire with people which work hard and care of that that they do, regardless of the fact that it. Roughly speaking me people which know to itself the price like. I search for someone who will force me to be happy all time, or this feeling at least will present me! It should also wish to eliminate mistakes in himself and to be ready will change for me. I assume, if you have some from these things, we probably could find common language and continue our dialogue. I think, that at us it will turn out to understand with ease each other. I am ready to understand you in everything, but also you should concerns with understanding to me. One thing which I cannot admit - people which the decision and inconcrete people for a long time cannot make!

After I had already captured the most amazing wildlife in the Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks, I decided to head northeast of Mount Kenya to Lewa Conservancy area. We camped at night and woke up very early in the morning, excited and hopeful see the unique black rhino. Park rangers warned me that the black rhino is very shy compared to the white rhino, and even the slightest irritation can make them aggressive and move quickly. On one particular morning, as the sun rose, we were watching over Lewa's plains with the hills in the background. Very slowly a black rhino approached the grasslands from the distance. As it came closer, I could hardly believe my eyes. It was out of this world! I had never seen a rhino of such beauty, with a horn of almost half a meter inRead more Read less
It was only about 45m away, and my finger was shaking on the trigger of my camera, when suddenly the rhino looked up at us. This gave me the chance to press the shutter exactly three times before it turned away again and disappeared into the open plains. We were stunned and in total awe of this incredible creature. A colossus, like from ancient times, stood in the grasslands as if it was reigning over its kingdom – so big, so strong, yet so delicate. I am very proud to share this amazing photograph with you, and I hope to create more awareness of this precious African animal. It must be protected. With this image I also want to help conserve its beauty while we still can.
This image of the PRIDE OF AFRICA Collection (African Wildlife) is available to purchase as a limited edition print in 5 different sizes.
The edition size is 101 prints per image plus Artist Proofs of which each size has a certain amount of prints allocated to it. All artworks are personally approved, individually numbered and signed by the artist, Klaus Tiedge. Each artwork is delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity.

text: The Hampton Bag is aptly named after Sherry's favorite summer spot....The Hamptons at the end of Long Island, New York. It is a place to go for fun and inspiration. This bag is so unique that words cannot do it justice. This handbag is all about great design, stunning details but does not neglect the need for practicality. Glamour combined with practicality gracefully transforms this bag from day to evening wear. A large semi circular outside pocket is pleated to hive fullness and grace. This bag not only has that pocket but an additional diagonal pocket in front of it for all essentials. There are two side pockets to add to 'pocket mania'. The details on this bag inject a modern, youthful exuberance into a classic tote. The roominess on the inside is amazing and necessary for the busy woman.

My initial worries about an unproductive Spring for bird recording have been put to rest. I went to my sure-fire-can't-miss recording spot in central MA yesterday and found that, in this particular wilderness, the ice storms of this past winter did minimal damage to the trees. As a result, the birds were out in their usual splendor, singing their hearts out at dawn and well into mid-morning. Meanwhile, as I noted in previous blog posts, other forests of central MA have seen a reduction in songbirds due to tree falls caused by the aforementioned storms.
Interestingly though, the species composition at my sure-fire-can't-miss spot is a bit different from what it was last year at the same time. When I was at this same exact location last May (May 11, 2008 to be exact), I noticed a lot of Eastern towhees, no red-winged blackbirds, and no wood thrushes. Yesterday, however, there were no Eastern towhees at all, several wood thrushes, and a few red-winged blackbirds. I even noticed a catbird. I normally associate wood thrushes and catbirds with summer, and so it seems that this year, at least for the birds, summer has arrived a little earlier than usual. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the flock of wild turkeys that I encountered!
I will be releasing a new soundtrack soon, based on what I recorded yesterday. This year's dawn birds of May soundtrack will feature wood thrushes prominently, because they have such a hauntingly beautiful song. I've been wanting to release something with wood thrushes for a while, and I am delighted that I finally got a good recording of them. And you may even hear a gobble-gobble or two from the turkeys!

Special Events
Make it snow at the Cancer Support Community!
Join in the 2017 Snowflake Challenge, and help raise needed funds for the Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley, a nonprofit organization providing free programs to anyone impacted by cancer.
We're asking businesses, student groups, Greek chapters, councils, and other organizations to raise $1,000 per club by March 15, 2017. Our goal is to collectively raise $50,000 for the Cancer Support Community. Those meeting the $1,000 challenge will have their group's name added to the recognition wall in the activity room at our center, and thanked on social media and our website.
How can your group achieve the $1,000 mark? Invite friends, family members, co-workers, teachers, neighbors, and fellow students to support your efforts. Design paper snowflakes and ask people to sponsor them at $10 each. Contact us if you would like paper snowflakes supplied for your team. At the end of the campaign, we'll collect and scatter the snowflakes at our center – making it snow at the Cancer Support Community! Your efforts will help to improve the lives of people with cancer and their loved ones.
If that snowball keeps rolling, don't stop at $1,000! One weekly program costs us $3,000 to $5,000 each for the year, and monthly programs cost up to $3,000 each for the year. We offer 60 various programs every month, and operate entirely on contributions from individuals, private and corporate foundations, and proceeds from special events and projects like the Snowflake Challenge. Every donation matters!
On behalf of the individuals and families we are privileged to serve, many thanks for your participation. The community's support makes a difference in all that we do, so that no one faces cancer alone.
To confirm your involvement in the 2017 Snowflake Challenge, email to email@example.com or call us at 610-861-7555.

Last week's Autistic People Should flashblogging had a fantastic result - Google has agreed to step in and remove the hate speech from the autocomplete suggestions that pop up when you type "autistic people should" or "autistic people are" into their search box.
But that's no reason to stop now. Today is part two: Autistic People Are...
Autistic people are people: We are not a philosophical concept to be talked about in the abstract. We are not soulless, mindless husks who cannot speak for themselves (even if we don't all do it with spoken words). We are not your learning experience, put here for you to learn about respect and difference. We are not "self narrating zoo exhibits", to use Jim Sinclair's beautiful turn of phrase.
We are people.
Autistic people are all different: There is no archetypal autistic person who can be held up as the template for all of us. Autism affects all genders, ages, ethnicities, spiritual paths, social standings, economic levels, geographic areas and subcultures. "You don't look autistic" is a meaningless phrase, because autism can look like anything.
Autistic people are autistic: Autism isn't an aftermarket add-on that can be taken away without changing who the person is. There is no different, 'real' us hidden underneath our autism - our autistic selves are our real selves.
Autistic people are experts on what it's like to be autistic: Am I an expert on parenting autistic kids? Hell no, and I don't claim to be. Am I a neurologist? Psychologist? Teacher? No, no, and Dear Gods No.
But I have 30+ years experience at living in an autistic body. I know more about the actual lived experience of being autistic than any non-autistic person can, regardless of how much they've studied. By comparision, an Indigenous person would understand living and being an Indigenous person in a way a white anthropologist just wouldn't and couldn't. Autism's the same. There is a place for neurotypical experts - just like there's a place for white anthropologists - but that place isn't presuming to speak for the people they study.
That's our job, as the actual people in question.
And through initiatives like the flash blogging over the last two weeks, we are.

CHICKAMAUGA, Ga., Sept. 5 (UPI) -- A Georgia animal control officer said he found cat feces piled more than a foot high in some parts of a trailer home that housed more than 160 felines.
Chris Patterson, animal control supervisor for Walker County, said he visited the small Chickamauga trailer home Thursday on a complaint from a neighbor who reported a strong odor of cat urine coming from the house and he discovered the home housed more than 160 cats, as well as two women.
Patterson said one of the women told him there were about a dozen cats already living in the structure when she moved in about five years ago and she decided to allow them to stay.
"Then they started multiplying," Patterson told the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Patterson said there were piles of cat feces measuring more than a foot high in some areas of the home. He said some of the cats were feral from lack of care and many were kept in cages inside the residence.
The officer said officials are seeking room for the felines in nearby shelters. He said many will likely have to be euthanized.
Patterson said the women appeared to be well-intentioned in giving the cats a place to live, but the fact is "they can't take care of that many" cats.
