Turtles need you, so start crawling

Article Abstract:

A research project being undertaken on Buck Island, situated off the coast of St Croix, the largest of the three US Virgin Islands, is looking at the hawksbill turtle. The female turtles swim more than 3,000 miles to lay their eggs on the island's beach during the season Mar-Oct, and are urgently in need of protection if they are to be saved from extinction. The US has already declared the hawksbill an endangered species, and now only 20 females a year return to the island.

Every room has a view

Article Abstract:

Every fortnight the Roger Smith Hotel in the middle of Manhattan, New York holds a midday meeting where people are admitted free of charge to a talk on art, and receive a packed lunch. These 'Brown Bag Lunches', as they are called, were started in early 1992 by art dealer Molly Barnes with the intention of restoring impassioned and informed debate on the arts. The hotel gives discounts to artists and they will accept paintings as payment for accommodation as well as cash.

Draw a veil over taste: this is My Day

Article Abstract:

Women who are planning their wedding tend to become so involved in the preparations that they fail to realise that they are taking seriously advertising for products and services which they would not normally consider. They fall victim to many different fantasies, which are fuelled by stores offering a wide range of wedding clothes and related items. They often choose many 'extras,' some of which are of doubtful taste.
