EU Bans Airlines From Philippines and Sudan on Safety

(Bloomberg) -- The European Union prohibited all airlines based in the Philippines and Sudan from flying in the bloc under the latest changes to a list of unsafe carriers.


The EU said “serious safety deficiencies” in the Philippines’ regulation of carriers and a “poor safety performance” by aviation authorities in Sudan justify the operating bans. The European Commission, the 27-nation EU’s executive arm, cited assessments by the International Civil Aviation Organization.


“We cannot accept that airlines fly into the EU if they do not fully comply with international safety standards,” EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas said in a statement today in Brussels. The EU also restricted the operations of Iran Air, eased curbs on TAAG Angola Airlines by letting it fly to all EU destinations under “strict conditions” rather than only to Lisbon, and permitted North Korea’s Air Koryo -- on the list since 2006 -- to operate in the bloc with two approved aircraft.


This is the 13th update of a blacklist first drawn up by the commission in March 2006 with more than 90 airlines mainly from Africa. The ban already covers carriers from nations including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Indonesia, Liberia and Rwanda.
Airline crashes in 2004 and 2005 that killed hundreds of European travelers prompted EU governments to seek a uniform approach to airline safety through a common blacklist. The list, updated at least four times a year, is based on deficiencies found during checks at European airports, the use of antiquated aircraft by companies and shortcomings by non-EU airline regulators.
Poor Safety Records
In addition to imposing an operational ban in Europe, the blacklist can act as a guide for travelers worldwide and influence safety policies in non-EU countries. Nations that are home to carriers with poor safety records can ground them to avoid being put on the EU list, while countries keen to keep out unsafe foreign airlines can use the European list as a guide for their own bans.
The new measures affect about 40 carriers in the Philippines including Philippine Airlines Inc. and Cebu Air Inc. and 12 in Sudan, Helen Kearns, transport spokeswoman at the commission, told reporters. None of those carriers currently operates services to the EU, she said later by telephone.

Italy immigrant names son Silvio Berlusconi

A Ghanaian immigrant to Italy has named his son after Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, despite his government's tough policy on immigration.

Anthony Boahene told an Italian newspaper: "I like the way Berlusconi talks, the way he moves."

Asked about Mr Berlusconi's tough stance on immigration, he said: "It's fine, laws need to be observed."

Mr Boahene said he would like his son Silvio to study politics and to become president of Ghana or Italy.

Mr Boahene, 36, came to Italy in 2002. His son was born in 2005 in Accra and has only recently joined his father in the northern Italian city of Modena.

There has been no word from Mr Berlusconi the elder about his young namesake, but his opponents are likely to take the view that one Silvio Berlusconi in Italy is more than enough, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy in Rome.

British actress Kate Winslet splits from husband

LONDON — British movie star Kate Winslet has separated from her film director husband Sam Mendes after nearly seven years of marriage, their law firm said Monday.

The surprise split puts an end to a golden couple of Britain's show business world, buttressed by matching Oscars and a host of commercial successes and artistic accolades. The pair's law firm, Schillings, said the split was "entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement."

Winslet, 34, shot to international stardom on the back of her appearance opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in James Cameron's "Titanic," and sealed her reputation with an Academy Award for best actress for her role in "The Reader" in 2009.

Mendes, 44, was already an acclaimed stage director by the time he won an Oscar for directing "American Beauty" in 1999.

The pair married in a low small, low-key ceremony in the Caribbean in May 2003. It was Winslet's second marriage. Her first, to British director Jim Threapleton, ended in divorce in 2001.

Winslet has an 9-year-old daughter, Mia, from her marriage to Threapleton and a 6-year-old son Joe with Mendes. Schillings' statement said Winslet and Mendes were "fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children."

LeStudio1.com - The Internet magazine


LeStudio1.com has been very busy in the last months. Firstly, there is the creator of the magazine Bernard Bujold who took the decision to change completely his lifestyle and he has given, thrown away or returned to their author more than 2 800 books in his personal library that contained 3 000. He then offered to his neighbors half his wine cellar ... before closing the loop by moving (See Pictures on Facebook); Miss X is very happy in his new job in a large International Accountants firm; and mascots Mr X and Miss Gym welcomed a new friend Dog Ulysses. This new team member quickly became so popular that we have granted him the title of "Official Mascot" for the magazine.
LeStudio1.com is now more than ever present on Internet through various social networks and the number of visitors to the official website have increased despite the absence of the weekly email message to 65 000 subscribers.

Formerly, the number varied depending on the day of the week and reached peaks of the 4 000 visitors the day following the email to decrease during following day at about 1 500. Since our adherence to various social networks, the rate of visits remains constant throughout the week. We can conclude that Google, Facebook, Flickr,YouTube and Twitter are very efficient internet vehicules. It must also be stressed that the home page LeStudio1.com has been transformed and it is now updated daily with links to new articles and comments posted by other major media in the world. All of these articles and links are published automatically on our various social networks. It must also be told that all our texts are now published in French and English.

U.S. Adding Body Scanners at 11 Airports

(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is expanding the use of scanners that can detect bombs under passengers’ clothing to 11 airports following the attempted Christmas day attack, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said today.

Scanners will be added at locations including Chicago’s O’Hare airport, Boston, Los Angeles and Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of the 1,000 machines the Transportation Security Administration has said it plans to install by the end of next year.

“We are enhancing our capability to detect and disrupt threats of terrorism across the nation,” Napolitano said in an e-mailed statement in Washington.

The agency, which runs airport security, is accelerating machine use after Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab allegedly tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight on approach to Detroit Dec. 25 by igniting explosives in his underpants.

Mark Rothko


Mark Rothko was born Marcus Rothkowitz in Dvinsk, Russia (today Daugavpils, Latvia), on September 25, 1903.

He was the fourth child of Jacob Rothkowitz, a pharmacist (b. 1859), and Anna Goldin Rothkowitz (b. 1870), who had married in 1886. Rothko and his family immigrated to the United States when he was ten years old, and settled in Portland, Oregon.
Rothko attended Yale University in 1921, where he studied English, French, European history, elementary mathematics, physics, biology, economics, the history of philosophy, and general psychology. His initial intention was to become an engineer or an attorney. Rothko gave up his studies in the fall of 1923 and moved to New York City.

One of the preeminent artists of his generation, Mark Rothko is closely identified with the New York School, a circle of painters that emerged during the 1940s as a new collective voice in American art. During a career that spanned five decades, he created a new and impassioned form of abstract painting.
Rothko's work is characterized by rigorous attention to formal elements such as color, shape, balance, depth, composition, and scale; yet, he refused to consider his paintings solely in these terms. He explained: It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.
