|Pixie Lott on beauty style and starring in Breakfast at Tiffany's
|Posted by Eliza on Aug 30 tags: Articles, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Interviews, Updates
Some people may have been surprised when pop star Pixie Lott landed the starring role of Holly Golightly in the stage version of Breakfast At Tiffany's, but the singer actually started her career in the theatre.Pixie, 25, joined stage school aged five and had appeared in a West End production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by the time she was 16. And, she says, she always knew that she wanted to be a star."There was never any other option in my head. As a kid I used to watch documentaries about Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and I knew that was what I wanted. I'd work out all the steps it took to get them where they were.
"I was fascinated by them going to auditions, learning dance routines. Even when I was 10, I was thinking I needed to hurry up.
Music was and is my first love and number one passion, but extending my energies into beauty felt like a natural addition to that.
What is your favourite product in the collection and why?
My favourite one is the pink sorbet wash in hair dye – I just love the colour. I'm also a huge fan of the chalks and sprays as I can play around with them when I don't have time to go for an all-over colour change.
How do you stay in such good shape? Can you explain your typical weekly workout regime?
I don't tend to work out or go to the gym but I always feel like I am racing around and on my feet.
When I did Strictly, it was such a great workout regime. I hope to get back into dancing when I have a little time off. I always make sure I drink enough water and generally eat healthily, however I don't ever limit myself or cut out treats.
What kind of diet do you stick to?
I've never dieted, I just tend to eat healthily and enjoy everything in moderation. If you want a treat, you should treat yourself.
She's such an inspiration, always so elegant and beautiful. While the Holly I play is based on the book, it's still such an honour to be mentioned in the same sentence as Audrey.
I really identify with the character of Holly Golightly, little things like we are both short-sighted, both live at Number 2 and have a brother we dote on. Has starring in Breakfast At Tiffany's influenced your personal style? I've found myself becoming more and more influenced by 1940s fashion and beauty. It's really opened up my eyes to that era.
What's your favourite make-up look for daytime and evening?
My favourite daytime look is dewy skin with the help of a highlighter, a simple coat of mascara and a subtle lip gloss. For the evening I like to go for a smokey eye and a set of Eylure lashes.
Which one beauty product couldn't you live without?
I couldn't live without my Nubo Cell Dynamic Day SPF20 Moisturiser – I love this moisturiser, and it also helps to protect my skin in the sun.
What's your best budget buy?
I love Max Factor's mascara – it's so good and last for hours. I would also recommend the Pixie Paint chalks – they're a lot of fun.
What is your one favourite anti-ageing trick?
Drink lots of water – it's the key to healthy, young-looking skin.

How does it feel to be making your West End debut in Breakfast At Tiffany's ?
The tour has been epic, how are you feeling?
Had you always wanted to be an actress?
I just had to learn the words really, it is such a wordy piece. I have loads of lines, so I had to properly get them into my head.
Were you a fan of the original book?
Was Audrey Hepburn a big influence?
How would you describe your Holly?
What has it been like working with Nikolai Foster as your first director?
Is it right that you're producing an album at the same time?
Was it hard to switch between the music studio and the stage?
Are you having to have very early nights and use honey and lemon?
So you didn't make a sneaky trip to Latitude last weekend?
You're working with a real life cat – how has that been?
Breakfast at Tiffany's is in previews at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, opening on 28 July and runs until 17 September.

|Why Britney Spears (& Everyone Else) Is Crushing on Pixie Lott
|Posted by Eliza on Jul 21 tags: Articles, Interviews
Pixie Lott first made waves back in 2009, when she released a series of hit singles that took Britain by storm, like "Mama Do (Uh oh uh oh)."
These days, she's taking a break from the pop star thing, and keeping it very classy with a gig as Holly Golightly in the stage adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's in the UK. Lucky for us, however, the actress-singer-songwriter took a break from her day job to answer some questions about dating when you're famous, guilty pleasure songs, and that one time Britney Spears shouted Pixie out for #WCW.
Is your real name Pixie Lott?
My real name is Victoria Louise Lott, but my parents called me Pixie from when I was a baby as I was so small. It's stuck and now all my family and friends call me Pixie, I am hardly ever called Victoria.
When did you dye your hair blonde?
I'm blonde naturally, but a little darker than I am right now. I started dying it when I was a teenager and have kept it since then. I've been enjoying experimenting with my PAINT range too — the sorbet shade was one of my favorites. While I am doing Breakfast At Tiffany's I have to keep it blonde though.
Who is your favorite designer?
That's a tough one… it's so hard to choose! I love Dolce and Gabbana, since all of their dresses seem to be a perfect fit for me. I also love Fendi and Dior.
What's a song people are surprised you like?
A random guilty pleasure that I know all the words to is Puddle Of Mud's "She Hates Me."
How do you feel about Instagram?
I love Instagram and it's one of my favorite social media platforms. What I like about Instagram is that you can still keep up an air of mystery, it doesn't need to be me sharing everything about my life. Oh! And Britney Spears picked me as her #WCW one week and I was blown away and so not expecting it. I haven't met her yet, but she's one of my favorite performers.
Who's your favorite British band of all time?
The Beatles. They've written some of the best pop songs of all time. I just love listening to them and always feel inspired afterwards.
What's the most important life lesson you've learned in the past year?
To never stop working hard, take risks and challenge yourself. This year I stepped fully out of my comfort zone and it was really daunting playing Holly in Breakfast At Tiffany's. I had to take dialect lessons to perfect her accent, learn a huge script, learn how to play guitar – it was certainly nerve-wracking, but I am loving every moment now.
What's your favorite flower?
At the moment, I love sunflowers. You can't go wrong with roses and lilies though, they're an all time fav.
What's dating like when you're famous?
There's not much difference dating when you're famous versus when you're not. There are more pictures taken when you're scooting about on adventures though.

|EXCLUSIVE – Interview with Pixie Lott | Sunday World
|Posted by Eliza on Jun 1 tags: Articles, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Interviews
SHE is the pop princess and style icon with the golden touch and Pixie Lott is convinced her success story will continue when she transports her latest venture to the Dublin stage.
The 25-year-old who boasts a trio of UK No.1 singles in a career that has seen her shoot to fame with a winning combination of her vocal talents and her stunning looks is now set to turn her attention to a whole new challenge, as she makes her acting debut in the role of Holly Golightly in the stage adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
As Pixie sat down with the Sunday World (below) at a plush London hotel, her infectious enthusiasm for all aspects of her relentlessly scrutinised life shone through, as well as her sparkling beauty that was presented in a colourful dress that few could carry off with such grace.
You might expect the star who has been the focus of so many camera lenses down the years to have a modicum of nerves bubbling inside as she throws herself into a debut stage role, yet we found her bursting with enthusiasm to entertain an Irish audience in a week-long run at the Bord Gáis Theatre starting on June 13th.
"In this role, I can get into the zone of being someone else, but I guess there will be more pressure when we are performing in front of the press or whatever is coming up ahead of these shows.
"I feel more excitement than nervousness right now as it is a great thrill to get this part. I am determined to make the most of it.
"One of the best parts of this for me is that we are taking the show to Dublin, which has always been one of my favourite cities.
"I have very fond memories of my trips over to Ireland. On my last trip there, I had a rare day when I wasn't working and we could explore.
"We went up to the Guinness factory, which was great fun. Then we went to Johnnie Fox's pub and they had some amazing Irish dancers up there. It was a great experience.
"Then we moved around a few different Irish pubs and in every corner, there were musicians singing songs and the atmosphere was so incredible. It is such a good vibe. I just love it.
"I don't know why everyone seems to be a good singer in your country, but from my experience, everyone loves to get up and sing a song in a pub in Ireland and I just love that culture."
Pixie's adoration of all things Irish extends to some of our musical heroes, although she needed a little prompting when we asked her to pick out her favourite musicians from our shores.
"I don't even know what bands are Irish, can you help me out here and give me a few," she responded, as she scrambled uncomfortably to find an answer.
"Oh hang on, I love The Script," she interjected. "Breakeven is an amazing song. The lyrics are just fantastic.
"I supported them was I was 18 or whatever and they were really nice to me."
This former X Factor guest judge has crammed so much into her short career and yet she is stepping out of her comfort zone to take on her new stage role.
Holly Golightly is the fictional and iconic American socialite in 1940s New York, with her willingness to befriend the richest men in the city ensuring she was showered with gifts and invitations to attend the most glamorous events in town.
After a successful run of Breakfast at Tiffaney's in the UK, Lott hopes Irish audiences will enjoy the adaptation of Trueman Capote's novel that has plenty of differences compares to the movie that featured Audrey Hepburn in the role she is now playing on stage.
"I read the book and tried to visualize how I saw Holly, to make her as real as possible" continues Pixie, who has learned to play the guitar for this role. "That's when I quickly discovered am like her in so many ways
"The book says she is forgetful and short sighted, which I am. She lives at Flat No.2 and so do I. She has a Japanese next-door neighbour and so do I.
"She is free spirited a loves her brother so much, which are two aspects of her that as so closely related to me as well. I can associate with Holly in so many ways.
"Also, I've always wanted to do a play because I love acting. I went to theatre school as a kid, but singing was always my focus. Acting is something I thought I might have a go at one day if the right opportunity came along.
Lott is already working on a new studio album and insists "music will always be No.1 for me", but she is open to all ideas for the next chapter of her career, which may even include a more permanent return to the X Factor set-up.
"I love acting and dancing as well, obviously I am a massive fashion fan as well," she says.
"Luckily in my life so far, a lot of different opportunities have come along and you never know what exciting opportunity will come up next.
When you look at Lott's delicately petite appearance, it can only be assumed that she spends most of her spare time working hard in the gym, yet she has stated that she avoids the gym for the good of her career.
"My vocal coach told me that going to the gym too much can put a strain on your vocal chords, so that was good enough reason for me not to go," she added with a smile, as she confirms that her model boyfriend Oliver Cheshire (below) spends plenty of hours working off the pounds on running machines.
This is a young lady who has grown up in the spotlight, with the paparazzi perched outside the hotel waiting where our interview took place in the hope of catching a glimpse of a girl who has got used to being the centre of attention serves as a reminder that this is one star camera lenses will never tire of seeing.
Who knows where this versatile performer will pop up next, but Pixie Lott is here to stay.
Breakfast at Tiffany's has a week-long run at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre from 13 – 18 June.

|Pixie Lott interview with What's On
|Posted by Eliza on Mar 23 tags: Articles, Interviews
The singer/songwriter and actress, currently playing Holly Golightly in the new UK touring production of play Breakfast at Tiffany's, talks diamonds, hot showers and high heels.
Tell us about the new stage version of Breakfast at Tiffany's…
How does it feel to be playing such an iconic character as Holly Golightly?
Do you feel the pressure is on because Holly is such a well-loved character?
Some might say this is quite a departure for you as you are best known for your music…
Was there a tough audition process?
Did you have the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's Audrey poster when you were growing up?
Did you know that Truman Capote originally wanted Marilyn Monroe for the role, but her agent advised her against playing 'a lady of the evening'?
Are you like Holly in any way?
Does it concern you that audiences will be making comparisons with Audrey, as that is the Holly they know best?
The song Moon River is obviously hugely associated with the story – how does it feel to be performing such a classic song?
You learned to play guitar especially for the role – what was that like?
There is music from the era and original music by Grand Olding – so do other songs feature in the play?
This is your first major stage role since you were a child/teenager – why did you leave theatre for so long?
The chemistry between 'Fred' and Holly is intrinsic to the story – how do you get on with your co-star Matt Barber?
At its heart, this is a love story, focusing on Holly's self-discovery – would you agree?
Does your Holly have a cat?
Can you remember the first time you became aware of Breakfast at Tiffany's (the novel or the film)?
Let's talk about costumes as Holly's look is so iconic – will you be wearing Givenchy like Audrey?
Have you ever done the whole having a coffee and Danish pastry outside Tiffany's thing?
The play is touring before it moves to the West End – you must have packing for the road down to perfection?
What can we expect to find in your dressing room – will it be as chaotic as Holly's apartment?
Has your boyfriend Oliver [Cheshire] been helping you with your lines?
What will surprise audiences most about the play?
How would you sum the play up in a few words?
Quickfire Questions
Danish pastries or croissants?
Diamonds or Pearls?
Night in or Night out?
Couture or High street?
Acting or Singing?
Cats or Dogs?
Baths or showers?
Champagne or Whisky?
Heels or flats?

|Pixie Lott's Uxbridge shop raises thousands for charity
|Posted by Eliza on Mar 2 tags: Articles, Updates
A shop full of a pop-singer's clothes, which showed up in Uxbridge for just one week, has raised thousands for a young person's charity.
Singer Pixie Lott donated clothes and accessories from her tour for a pop-up shop at intu Uxbridge from Monday 15 – Sunday 21 February.
£2,500 was raised for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), a charity which has been working to reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death since 1995.
Dr Steven Cox, CRY Chief Executive, said: "What a great week at intu Uxbridge!
"We are so grateful to the intu team who allowed us to 'set up shop' over the half term – and timing couldn't have been better, leading up to a high profile BBC TV Lifeline Appeal, fronted by Pixie, that was broadcast last Sunday.
"Many of the visitors we met wanted to learn more about CRY's work and Pixie's involvement with the charity and it was a real pleasure for our staff and volunteers to chat to shoppers of all ages who showed so much interest in our ongoing mission to prevent young sudden cardiac death.
CRY supports young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions and offers bereavement support to families affected, as well as funding heart screening programmes and medical research
Mr Cox added: "Overall we raised the fantastic sum of around £2,500 – not to mention the value of raising awareness in such a busy and vibrant shopping mall.
"As one of intu Uxbridge's nominated charities of the year, we look forward to working with the team again during 2016!"
The All About Tonight singer is a a patron of CRY and uses the role to help spread the word about the charity's vital work.
Natasha House, Marketing Manager at intu Uxbridge, said: "It was fantastic that CRY were able to open a pop-up charity shop here at intu Uxbridge, with thanks to their patron Pixie Lott.
"The store was hugely popular with our shoppers, and spread awareness for the charity and their fantastic work."
At least 12 young, apparently fit and healthy people (aged 35 and under) in the UK losing their lives due to undiagnosed heart conditions every week.
As well as working with Cardiac Risk in the Young, intu Uxbridge will be supporting Rainbow Trust and Hillingdon Carers to raise awareness and funds for the causes. For more information on charity partnerships at intu Uxbridge, check out their website .

|Pixie Lott interview with Fabulous Magazine
|Posted by Eliza on Feb 21 tags: Articles, Interviews
THERE aren't many people who do Positive Mental Attitude better than Pixie Lott. She's so relentlessly cheerful, so permanently bushy-tailed, that it's difficult to imagine anything getting her down.
Take the disappointment of her eponymous third album – released in the summer of 2014 – failing to break into the Top 10, and the last couple of singles not faring particularly well either.
Bromley-born Pixie, 25, simply shrugs her shoulders. "I just keep on going," she says on coping when music she's poured her heart and soul into doesn't, for whatever reason, quite cut the mustard in terms of chart performance.
"I do stuff that I believe in myself. You can't keep everybody happy all the time, so you need to keep doing what you enjoy and do what you think is right.
"When I stop enjoying myself, I'll just pack it in! But I don't think that'll ever happen, because I have the bug to just keep going. I've been doing this for ages and the buzz is still the same as it was from the start."
Nevertheless, she acknowledges that it's important to diversify, which is why she's put music on the back-burner in order to concentrate on adding strings to her bow – hence her upcoming lead role in a new stage version of Breakfast At Tiffany's. She's constantly writing new material, but admits it's unlikely anything will be released until next year.
"Music has been and still is my number one, but there are other areas I want to focus on," she says. "Doing Strictly [in 2014] was definitely branching out of my comfort zone, and I learned so much from that, and that's what I'm hoping for from Breakfast At Tiffany's.
"I remember going to see Chicago on Broadway when I was about 15 and Usher was performing as Billy Flynn, and I knew then not to be afraid to go into other areas and to be as rounded a performer as you can be."
Every time we've shot and interviewed Pixie for the cover of Fabulous, she's been nothing less than completely charming. She's unassuming, unstarry and undemanding, and so laid-back there can't be much in life that ruffles her feathers.
Since she arrived on the music scene back in 2009 with the No.1 debut single Mama Do, Pixie – who was born Victoria but was given the nickname as a baby – has gone on to establish herself as one of the country's most stylish celebs.
She rarely puts a fashion foot wrong and designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, who have become good friends, queue up to dress her. She's never afraid to experiment, doesn't ever take herself too seriously and switches easily between grunge, glam, classic cuts and more offbeat styles.
She makes flat shoes look sexy every time – nobody does a brogue quite like Pixie. And it all makes her the perfect choice to be our Style Issue cover star.
"I do love fashion," she says. "I think my favourite era will always be the 1960s. It can be quirky, fun and sexy, but also classic and beautiful. I love Brigitte Bardot, Edie Sedgwick, Marilyn Monroe…I love Audrey Hepburn as well. So I like to keep it contemporary but inspired by different eras."
The spare room of her east London flat sounds like a fashionista's heaven. She describes vast piles of designer clothes, vintage handbags and "millions and millions" of shoes, which means her second bedroom is not fit for purpose and bursting at the seams.
Organised chaos?
"No, just chaos," she says, holding her hands up. "Total chaos, like, everywhere. It's so bad and I need to organise it because it's crazy to live in. I've got too much stuff and I never put anything away.
"I've tried to do clear-outs, but there's just so much of it, I wouldn't know where to start. I get attached to things. I'm like: 'Ooh, this could come in handy if I ever have to dress up as a policeman…' Basically, I need a bigger place with more space."
Which is why she's spending more time on Rightmove than Net-A-Porter these days – not that there's much space in the schedule for house-hunting, either. Pixie is in the middle of rehearsing six days a week for the iconic role of Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's, which will tour the country between March and June before landing in London's West End for a three-month run at Theatre Royal Haymarket.
She's currently based in Leicester, where the cast are rehearsing for five weeks until the tour kicks off there. We meet at a cocktail bar in the East Midlands city, and Pixie – in typically upbeat spirits despite having just finished a full-on 10-hour rehearsal – arrives with her guitar slung on her back and orders a cup of tea.
She's dressed down in a pair of J Brand skinnies, a Bella Freud jumper and the cutest pair of Minna Parikka bunny "sneaks" (complete with rabbit ears and fluffy tail), and is wrapped up against the February chill in a toasty parka by Ruby Sky London.
Pixie is in the enviable position of often being handed expensive freebies, which no doubt add to the disarray in that out-of-control spare bedroom.
"I know I'm lucky, whether things are gifted or even if I just borrow them for an event and then send them back. I still get excited. Dolce & Gabbana sent me and Oliver a Valentine's his 'n' hers box. There was this amazing dress, purse and phone case, and I was all: 'Oh my god.'"
Oliver is Oliver Cheshire, 27, Pixie's live-in boyfriend and a male model with campaigns for the likes of D&G and Calvin Klein under his belt – and the sort of cheekbones that could slice metal.
She met him at a fashion show six years ago and the two of them quickly became friends. He came to watch her support Rihanna in London, and they later ended up in New York at the same time, where they went out with a group of friends. As they saw each other more, the friendship developed into romance.
"I always thought he was really nice because he seemed, like, really normal," says Pixie. "I think that was it more than anything else, and I sort of got him straight away. In that showbizzy world, he was just like a person from back home. He was really easy to talk to."
Does she ever worry that she met The One at the age of 19, before she'd experienced more of life?
"No," she replies, very definitely. "I think every relationship is different and there are no real rules. Some of my friends have dated loads of people and others are still with the first person they started going out with, a bit like me. If it feels right, you just go with it."
Both Pixie and Oliver's schedules mean long spells apart. He's been travelling to Leicester when work allows it, but Pixie admits there are stretches when, save for FaceTime, they barely see each other.
"Either I'm away or he's away, and those times are hard. But we're used to it because it's been like that since the beginning. We have complete trust, and I think if we didn't have that, it would be much more difficult than it is. I'd like to think we were heading that way [towards marriage], definitely."
Aside from performing, Pixie also has a collection of hair products called Paint – which includes chalks, metallic sprays and wash-out colours – as well as her own eyelash range. There's the possibility of a fashion line in the future, although it would be different from her collaboration with Lipsy a few years ago – an arrangement that produced four successful collections but that didn't sit comfortably with Pixie.
"Some of the pieces – which had to be there because they were their bestsellers – were not things I would personally wear. I'd want to do it so every single piece was my own," she says.
Pixie drains her teacup and happily poses for a selfie with an eagle-eyed fan who has spotted her huddled away in our low-lit corner.
As she leaves to head back to her temporary digs, she mentions a recent meeting in LA with the legendary producer Quincy Jones, who gave her some advice she now plans to live by: "He told me: 'Have humility with your creativity and grace with your success,'" she says.
Pixie already has both those things in spades.

|Fans can buy Pixie Lott's clothes at intu Uxbridge
|Posted by Eliza on Feb 17 tags: Articles, Updates
Pixie Lott will bring a touch of showbiz to Uxbridge , by giving fans and fashionistas a chance to bag her clothes.
The pop singer has donated a huge amount of clothes, including tour outfits, dresses from performances and leisure wear, to help raise funds for charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
The celebrity sale comes after intu Uxbridge's announcement of their 2016 charity partners, choosing to raise funds for CRY, Rainbow Trust and local charity Hillingdon Carers.
The All About Tonight singer said: "I became a patron of CRY as it affects so many young people and it's crazy that a seemingly fit and young person can just drop down dead.
"I feel it's so important to raise awareness and will continue to use my role as Patron to help 'spread the word' about the charity's vital work."
With items ranging from £5 to £50, the shop will be staffed by the CRY team from Monday 15 to Sunday 21 February, who will also be handing out information about the charity and the work it does to prevent young sudden cardiac death.
Every week, at least 12 young (35 and under) apparently fit and healthy people die from a previously undiagnosed heart condition.
Many, but not all, of these young people will have been involved in sport at the time of their death. Sport and physical activity does not cause these undetected problems – but it can significantly exacerbate an existing, undiagnosed condition.
As well as being an inspiring ambassador for young people, Pixie also has a personal connection to the charity and the issue of young sudden cardiac death.
In 2012, dancer Matt Beadle, who taught her at the Italia Conti School, died suddenly from a previously undiagnosed heart condition, aged just 32.
In 2004, Adam Donnelly, who was a friend of Pixie's older sister, Charlie, tragically died from a condition known as Brugada syndrome, aged just 17.
Alison Cox MBE, Founder of CRY, said: "Pixie already does so much for us, such as this hugely generous donation of so many beautiful clothes and accessories to be sold in aid of CRY.
"I'm sure that during half term lots of girls will be heading down for some "retail therapy" at intu Uxbridge – which has also just adopted us as their charity of the year – so please do pop in and see us and have a browse through a selection of fantastic clothes, with some added star quality!"
Natasha House, Marketing Manager at intu Uxbridge, says the shopping centre is "honoured" to be working with the fantastic charities throughout 2016 and hopes to raise their profile in the local area.
She said: "Rainbow Trust, CRY and Hillingdon Carers all undertake amazing work in the community, and we are thrilled to be helping them further."

Platja de l'Home Mort, Sitges, Spain
Despite being a good 45-minute walk from town, Sitges nudist beach is surprisingly a popular choice. This may be partly due to the wooded area behind the beach (on the other side of the railway line) that can be as busy as the beach itself!
To get to Platja de l'Home Mort, walk (or take a taxi) to Club Atlantida. Continue along the coastal path past the straight nudist beach, after which you will come to the gay nudist beach.
Be very aware that some sections of the path run very close to the railway line and you proceed at your own risk!
This beach is mostly pebbles, so taking an inflatable airbed is recommended. Alternatively, a limited number of sun loungers and shades are available for hire, and there is a small bar serving (relatively expensive) drinks – so it's a good idea to pack what you think you will need for the day.

"3th stage: Nice" Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Favorite Tip by rich77
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur General: 63 reviews and 63 photos
Favorite thing: Sorry no pics about!
Fondest memory: In fact, I don't have great memories about Nice. I've been there twice, and was just a point of start for other places. Famous is the "promenade" across the coast, with great palaces in Belle Epoque's style. Nightlife is great for young people - lot of discos - but not only, there is also some theatre. Definetly a summer place, in my opinion, not more.

Earth's Biosphere by Vaclav Smil
Book DescriptionIn his latest book, Vaclav Smil tells the story of the Earth's biosphere from its origins to its near and long-term future. He explains the workings of its parts and what is known about their interactions. With essay-like flair, he examines the biosphere's physics, chemistry, biology, geology, oceanography, energy, climatology, and ecology, as well as the changes caused by human activity. He provides both the basics of the story and surprising asides illustrating critical but often neglected aspects of biospheric complexity. Smil begins with a history of the modern idea of the biosphere, focusing on the development of the concept by Russian scientist Vladimir Vernadsky. He explores the probability of life elsewhere in the universe, life's evolution and metabolism, and the biosphere's extent, mass, productivity, and grand-scale organization. Smil offers fresh approaches to such well-known phenomena as solar radiation and plate tectonics and introduces lesser-known topics such as the quarter-power scaling of animal and plant metabolism across body sizes and metabolic pathways. He also examines two sets of fundamental relationships that have profoundly influenced the evolution of life and the persistence of the biosphere: symbiosis and the role of life's complexity as a determinant of biomass productivity and resilience. And he voices concern about the future course of human-caused global environmental change, which could compromise the biosphere's integrity and threaten the survival of modern civilization.

GSI rescue back in court
The future of troubled lender, Gippsland Secured Investments will again be considered by the Federal Court today.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
A bid by prominent East Gippsland businessmen to keep the company out of receivership faced another hurdle in the Federal Court yesterday.
The court has knocked back a request for more time to further develop a business plan to save GSI, unless the rescue group agrees to cover legal costs for all parties involved.
Rescue group member Duncan Johnston estimates that figure to be in the vicinity of $400,000.
He says the group has agreed to put up the money for at least the next fortnight with conditions.
"Our legal advisors and GSI's legal advisors have agreed to cap their figures but we haven't been able to get the same agreement out of the trustee company and its advisors. They've refused to cap their figures to date," Mr Johnston says.
Mr Johnston has criticised trustees the Trust Company for apparently withdrawing its support for the rescue group's case yesterday morning.
He says he has an email signed by a representative of the Trust Company stating it would not object to a four week adjournment for the group to further develop plans to save GSI.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has also joined the action.
"They are significantly supporting the wind-up that was originally started on 25 July by the trustee company," Mr Johnston says.
"They (ASIC) joined it yesterday with an affidavit. That's caused the adjournment from yesterday until today."

Europe Stocks Rise on Earnings as Deutsche Bank Up on Reshuffleby
Banks trim gain of up to 1.1% after Morgan Stanley earnings
Miners fall the most among industries after China GDP data
A gain in Deutsche Bank AG and positive earnings reports helped push European stocks to a two-month high.
The German lender rose 3.7 percent as it's undertaking the biggest management reshuffle in more than a decade and splitting up its investment bank. Danone and Metro AG advanced after earnings, while miners fell as data showed China's economy expanded at the slowest pace since 2009.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.3 percent to 364.25 at the close of trading in London, with the volume of shares changing hands 34 percent below the 30-day average. The gauge climbed as much as 0.8 percent, before briefly erasing its gain as Morgan Stanley's earnings report dragged European banks lower.
"The commodity complex is a bit weak," said Veronika Pechlaner, an investment manager who helps oversee $10 billion at Ashburton Investments, part of FirstRand Group. She's based in Jersey, the Channel Islands. "That brings us back to earnings. We need to see reassurance that next year's numbers are OK for now. They should do better, and we hope to see more evidence of that."
European lenders recovered their losses and closed up 0.3 percent. Analysts project companies in the Stoxx 600 will growth earnings by 2.8 percent this year, helped by a forecast 15 percent increase in bank profits.
Danone gained 2 percent after the world's biggest yogurt maker reported third-quarter sales that beat analysts' estimates as Chinese consumers ordered more foreign-made infant formula. German retailer Metro rose 2.5 percent after reaffirming its earnings target for the year and saying it sees good Christmas results.
Wincor Nixdorf AG surged 17 percent after Diebold Inc. said it offered 1.57 billion euros ($1.78 billion) to buy the maker of ATMs and cash registers. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV climbed 1.8 percent after people familiar with the matter said Ferrari NV's initial public offering is oversubscribed.
The Stoxx 600 ended little changed last week, recovering from three days of losses toward the end. It's rebounded 7.4 percent from a low last month and closed 12 percent below its April record.

Triple agent (2004)
115 wasted minutes...
I wouldn't have believed it possible for a boring film to be made out of the Miller/Skoblin/Plevitskaya story - which has sinister Nazi and Soviet spies, impoverished old Russian emigres plotting away in cheap Parisian cafes, a larger than-life popular singer, kidnappings, tortures, murders and betrayals galore - but Rohmer has managed to do exactly that.
In fact other than giving him the excuse to write great turgid gobbets of expository dialogue about the Popular Front, Stalin, Trotsky etc (which must have gained him major brownie points amongst those elderly Paris intellectuals who managed to stay awake through the premiere) it is very difficult to know why Rohmer made this film at all - unless its all a pretentiously backhanded tribute to Vladimir Nabokov whose 1943 short story the Assistant Producer covered the same territory and is written from the point of view of a Hollywood film producer.
As other reviewers have pointed out even by Rohmer's standards this film is anti-cinematic - with by far the most striking visual images being the newsreel clips inserted at various points and which alone break up the verbose tedium.
Worse it completely inverts the true story on which it is supposedly based by making the 'triple agents' wife an innocent.
While the details will remain obscure until the relevant files in the Soviet archives become available (assuming they still exist), historians seem unanimous that the General's wife Nadia Plevitskaya - in reality a popular Russian folk singer and not a Greek painter - was every bit as active a Soviet agent as her husband.
Certainly she had happily served the Reds during the revolution and was singing for one of their army units when she was captured/'liberated' by her future husband - and if she was not a Soviet spy from the very beginning was presumably a cynical opportunist who stayed loyal to the Whites only until their money and hope of ever leading a counter-revolution evaporated and then returned to her previous allegiance taking her husband with her.
Even Nabokov who had met the woman and in 1943 evidently did not believe her to be a Soviet spy, unmercifully mocks her vulgarity and stupidity in his short story.
Anyone further from Rohmer's gentle Greek naif would be difficult to imagine.
Rohmer's Voronin seems rather closer to the real Skoblin - and particularly to Nabokov's version - but even his character never really becomes that interesting as whatever evil he is doing (and can you conceive of anything more evil than having your close friends and colleagues successively kidnapped and tortured to death by their worst enemies)is always kept offscreen and unreal.
All in all a complete waste of two hours and whatever you paid to buy/rent the film.
Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001)
Brilliant but botched
What can one add to everyone that has been said already.
Ultimately a film that is very much less than the sum of its parts.
Brilliantly acted with some superb visual effects (of which by far the most powerful is the way the twin towers suddenly loom at you from a drowned New York - although Spielberg can hardly take credit for that).
I so much wanted this film to succeed but as usual Spielberg could not stop himself from tacking on a ridiculous 'happy' ending.
Just as ET would have been perfect if the alien had stayed dead on the operating table, this would have been near perfect if creepy mecha boy had just been allowed to fade out praying for the impossible - but no he has to be rescued by Disney aliens who literally shake fairy dust over everything to make it all better.
Cut out the last half hour and you'd have a semi-masterpiece, with it there's nothing but a nasty emotionally manipulative mess.
Voskhozhdenie (1977)
So powerful once will be enough
This is one of the very, very few films that are so overwhelming that you are very unlikely to watch it more than once or twice in your lifetime (other examples are Claude Lanzmann's documentary Shoah and Come and See by the director's husband Elem Klimov - which covers much the same unbearable territory but in a very different way).
I suppose this is just as well given the difficulty of ever seeing a print.
Apparently it's extraordinarily overt Christian symbolism and admission that there were active Russian collaborators, ensured that it was hardly ever seen in the USSR - and of course post-soviet Russia has very little interest in films of that era.
The one time I saw it in London was in a festival of Russian movies shown during the Glasnost era (i.e. probably c.1988) - however it apparently has been shown several times in the UK more recently so at least one subtitled print must exist here.
As far as I know it has never been released in the west on DVD or video so if you haven't seen it, your best chance is probably to join a film society and endlessly nag them to find a print and screen it.

By Sen. RICK METSGER, State District 26
Special to the News
As you are aware, Gov. Ted Kulongoski was in Hood River Jan. 29. I extended an invitation to the Governor to visit the Gorge along with Representative Patti Smith.
Less than a week after our invitation, he accepted and we enjoyed a wonderful day in the Gorge. Oregon is facing many challenges right now, and I wanted the governor to see some of the economic struggles in Hood River.
There is universal agreement that getting Oregonians back to work is the most effective way to improve our economy and protect the valuable public services we all demand. That is why this trip was so intently focused on economic development and job creation.
The decision by the governor to visit Hood River demonstrates that early in his tenure, he is willing to engage our rural communities in an effort to ensure that all Oregonians have opportunities to prosper. We organized a series of meetings and visits that showed the governor a microcosm of key industries in the state.
The governor was able to see the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities facing Hood River and Oregon. We also spent time meeting with local business and civic leaders in an effort to better understand how the state of Oregon can help our communities to thrive. It was particularly notable that the governor brought his senior officials from his administration with him, including the Director of the Department of Agriculture and the Director of the Department of Economic and Community Development. This trip provided important context for the decisions the governor will make in the months ahead.
As we return to Salem, our next challenge is to translate the lessons and experiences of this trip into concrete action to get Oregon's economy moving. This will include developing new markets for our agricultural products, streamlining government regulation, promoting tourism, recruiting new businesses to settle in Oregon, and investing in infrastructure projects like roads and bridge repair that create living wage jobs.
As Chairman of the Senate Economic Development and Transportation Committee, I will be working closely with the Kulongoski administration to get Oregonians back to work. The road to economic recovery in Oregon will pass through my committee, Rep. Smith's committee, and the governor's desk. That is why this trip was so critical and why it is imperative that we continue to work together.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

Dirty Boy Carries A Plum Tree On His Head
Once upon a time, in a far away Dirty Land, there lived a small old woman, a tiny old man, and their grandson, the dirty little boy.
One day, when the little woman and the tiny old man were having their tea, the little boy came running inside, and said, "I am hungry, can I eat a plum?"
The little woman gave the boy a plum, and warned him again, "Don't spit out the stone, we want a plum tree to grow out of your head."
Though the little boy never believed her, he ate it all, and swallowed the stone as his grandmother told him.
The next morning, when he woke up from a nightmare, his head felt very heavy and strange. The boy asked his grandma, "What's happened with my head, something seems growing and it feels heavy."
His grandma carefully spread his messy hair, and saw a plant. "A Plum tree is growing out of your head!"She said, "Good boy, well done! Now you have plum tree of your own, we don't need to buy plums from the shop any more."
So the little boy carried the plum tree on his head, when he had a shower, he watered the plum tree; when he went to school, he carried it to school; The plum tree was growing very quickly, the next day it bloomed and started to bear some plums. When he was hungry, he just reached his hand up to pick a plum to eat. He shared his plums with his friends, and everyone in the school could pick one and eat, and the teachers as well. His friends all said, "This is delicious, it even tastes better than the ones from the shop!"

George Berham Parr (1829–1867)
Sarah Pamela (Givens) Parr (1837-1918)
Archer "Archie" Parr (December 25, 1860 or 1859[2] — October 18, 1942), was a Texas cattle rancher and politician, who was nicknamed "the Duke of Duval County," where he was the local Democratic Party political boss. Beginning in 1914, Parr was elected to the Texas State Senate for numerous consecutive terms, serving nearly two decades, from 1915 to 1934. He had previously been elected as country commissioner, serving for a decade after repeated re-election. He amassed a great fortune through his career.
Anglo in ancestry, Parr spoke Spanish and acted as a patron, developing a power base among the Mexican Americans who constituted the majority of residents in the county. He retained their favor by supporting his constituents, showing sensitivity to their customs, and sometimes making cash payments. Parr controlled the party machine in the county. By his death in 1942, his son, George Parr, had taken it over, keeping control until 1975.
Early life, marriage and work[edit]
Archer "Archie" Parr was born on Matagorda Island in Calhoun County, Texas in 1860 to George Berham and Sarah Pamela (Givens) Parr.[2] He had a younger sister, and they were children when their father died. George Parr had been a veteran of Zachary Taylor's forces during the Mexican War (1846). As a boy, Archie Parr left school in third grade to work to help his family. They were also helped by Sarah's brother, John S. Givens. The boy Parr wrangled horses at 11, was a drover at 14, and at 17 was a trail boss on a Chisholm Trail cattle drive. He worked as a school teacher in Rockport.
In 1882 Parr went to Duval County, where he worked as a manager on the Sweden Ranch near Benavides, Texas. Social life there included euchre, dancing, and croquet. He soon bought his own ranch there.
In 1891, at the age of 31, he married Elizabeth Allen in Huntsville, Texas. She was a student at Sam Houston State Teachers College. From Allendale, she was five years younger than he.[2][4][5]
They had a family of five children, including sons Givens Parr, who attended Yale University and served two terms as a county judge, but mostly concentrated on ranching; and George Parr, who followed his father into politics and inherited his party machine.[2] In 1927 the couple adopted one of their grandchildren.[2] The children grew up speaking both English and Spanish. George preferred Spanish, and used it to discuss state and local politics with his father.[citation needed]
Political career[edit]
As a rancher, Parr learned Spanish and began to appreciate Mexican Americans as potential political supporters. They constituted a majority of the population in the county but had been largely ignored by the Anglo elite. Parr treated his workers in the manner of a patron, helping the people and their families, giving favors and looking out for them.[2] He established a system of paternalism.
Parr was first elected to political office in 1896, when he won the office of county commissioner; he was re-elected repeatedly, serving in that position until 1906.[4]
In 1901, the state legislature imposed a poll tax, which effectively disfranchised most blacks and many poor whites, effectively ending the competition from the Republican and Populist parties in Texas.[6][7] Throughout most of the state, the Democratic Party became totally dominant, and competitive elections were effectively held only at the primary level.
In 1907, John D. Cleary, the county tax assessor, was killed with buckshot in the back. He had "engineered a Democratic sweep of the county elections of 1906."[2] Texas Rangers investigated unsuccessfully. Parr fell under their suspicion because Cleary had been his main political opponent. With Cleary's death, Parr took over the party machinery in the county.[2] In 1908 Parr established his own party, which he called El Guarache (sandal) (the poor), as opposed to La Bota (boot) (the rich, both Democrat and Republican.)[citation needed]
He built up his power among Mexican Americans and sometimes resorted to fraud and coercion to control elections. Techniques included marked ballots, armed guards appointed by Parr who patrolled the polling places to intimidated voters, and altering election returns if needed.[5] "Parr's minions knew how to stuff a ballot box."[5]
Parr was first elected to the Texas State Senate in 1914, having won the Democratic primary; he won re-election for numerous terms, serving in the office for nearly two decades, from 1915 to 1934.[2] With his seniority and power, he became allied with the Democrats' patronage system in the state, and powerful party officials based in San Antonio, who managed much of the party patronage.[8] He amassed a great personal fortune over the years.
In 1928 Parr and the Democratic Party tried to defeat Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach, the only Republican elected to Congress from Texas in this period. He had won consecutive terms since 1920 from the 14th congressional district, which included Guadalupe County where German Americans had supported the Republican.[9][page needed] The Democratic candidate won the election, but Wurzbach contested it at Congress for irregularities. The committee found in his favor, and he was seated in 1930.[8] That year, Wurzbach won re-election to Congress, and died the next year in office.
In 1934, Parr lost in the Democratic primary for reelection to the Texas Senate. An IRS civil suit for unpaid income tax represented him as a tax cheat. He had hoped that launching a road project with a quicker route to Corpus Christi, Texas would help him win reelection. That road had to cross the King Ranch. His former friend and Democratic political ally, Congressman Robert Kleberg, Jr., opposed construction of the road across the ranch.
Legacy and honors[edit]
- Parr's power was recognized in his nickname of "Duke of Duval County".
- His son, George Parr, followed him into Texas politics and, by his father's death in 1942, already controlled the county political machine that "dominated Duval County until 1975."[2] He was elected to the state senate. Bitter about Kleberg's failure to support his father in 1934, in 1942 George Parr contrived the defeat of Kleberg in the Democratic primary.[citation needed]

By using loop unrolling and inner-round and outer-round pipelining techniques, a maximum throughput of 21.54 Gbits/s is achieved. A fast and area efficient composite field implementation of the byte substitution phase is designed using an optimum number… (More)
—This contribution describes the design and performance testing of an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) compliant encryption chip that delivers 2.29 GB/s of encryption throughput at 56 mW of power consumption in a 0.18-m CMOS standard cell technology. This integrated circuit implements the Rijndael encryption algorithm, at any combination of block lengths… (More)
This paper describes a solution for the generation of true random numbers in a purely digital fashion; making it suitable for any FPGA type, because no FPGA vendor specific features (e.g., like phase-locked loop) or external ana-log components are required. Our solution is based on a framework for a provable secure true random number generator recently… (More)
Recently, Edman et al. proposed the <i>system's anonymity level</i> [10], a combinatorial approach to measure the amount of additional information needed to reveal the communication pattern in a mix-based anonymous communication system as a whole. The metric is based on the number of possible bijective mappings between the inputs and the outputs of the mix.… (More)
—Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags need to include security functions, yet at the same time, their resources are extremely limited. Moreover, to provide privacy, authentication, and protection against tracking of RFID tags without losing the system scalability, a public-key-based approach is inevitable. In this paper, we present an architecture of… (More)
The security of sensor network s is ever more important nowadays. In this paper we propose a new protocol BROSK t o construct link-dependent keys by broadcasting key negotiation messages. The link-dependent key will be negotiated in an ad-hoc scheme. Most of the proposed security protocols in sensor networks are based on point-to-point handshaking… (More)
Using a Physically Unclonable Function or PUF to extract a secret key from the unique submicron structure of a device, instead of storing it in non-volatile memory, provides interesting advantages like physical unclonability and tamper evidence. However, an additional Helper Data Algorithm (HDA) is required to deal with the fuzziness of the PUF's responses.… (More)
