Greece debt crisis: France presses to keep Greece in eurozone

France will do all it can to keep Greece in the eurozone, because allowing it to leave would be too risky,  FRENCH PM Manuel Valls has said.

"The basis for a deal exists," he said, ahead of an emergency eurozone summit in Brussels.

However, Germany has warned against any unconditional debt write-off.

Eurozone ministers have called on Greece to put forward fresh proposals after Greek voters rejected the latest draft bailout deal in a referendum.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras met Greek political party leaders on Monday and headed to Brussels on Tuesday morning, where he is expected to present new proposals.

Time changes tomorrow morning.. Set your clocks one hour ahead.

Daylight saving time goes into effect at 2 a.m. tomorrow. Remember the adage, "Spring forward, fall back," and set your clock ahead by one hour before you go to bed tonight.

The clock change slices an hour of shut-eye from your routine, so there are a lot of strategies available to help you manage the switch. Several sleep experts suggest easing into the routine, such as going to bed a few minutes earlier reach night until you've accounted for the hour you'll lose on Sunday, says the CBC.

But if you haven't prepared ahead of time, the Chicago Tribune cites a sleep researcher who suggests adopting your normal schedule immediately after the time change and not letting yourself nap until you adjusted.

The National Sleep Foundation suggests people use the change to daylight saving time to "reset sleep habits," such as going to bed and rising at the same time each day, keeping quiet bedrooms free of televisions and computers, and creating bedtime rituals, such as listening to quiet music.

Of course, if you live in Arizona or Hawaii, disregard this advice: Those states don't advance the clock. Phoenix station KNXV-TV reports Arizona officials decided against time changes years ago, because it meant more sunlight and hotter temperatures later in the evening.

One quick plug from the Consumer Product Safety Commission: While you're changing your clock, change the batteries on your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, too.

74 per cent of Finnish  citizens believe that the president Sauli Niinistö  has operated  correctly in the Russian-Finnish policy interests . The results  were shown today  in  the  economic research  commissioned  by the newspaper  Iltalehti .  43 per cent  of the respndents feel that Niinistö should, however, be more closely contacted the Russian president Vladimir Putin. The majority of citizens feel that Niinistö does not contribute to the so-called Finlandisation. Only 14 percent of respondents are of the opinion that Niinistö has given the impression that Finland would give Russia too much influence in Finnish politics. The study also touched upon NATO. 59 percent of citizens support Niinistö's view that Finland is not applying the prevailing conditions for NATO membership.

A clear minority, or 29 per cent of them would turn NATO's position, if Niinistö tickets would be clearly in favor of membership.

President Niinistö receives in  the survey citizens overall grade eight plus. For example, the President of Finland Tarja Halonen got  in  her own office Taloustutkimus  at the end of October 2011 study, only  grade 8.

WHO IS SANTA CLAUS

NOWADAYS SANTA.

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle and simply "Santa", is a figure with legendary, historical and folkloric origins who, in many Western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children on 24 December, the nightbefore Christmas Day. However, in some European countries children receive their presents on St. Nicholas' Day, 6 December.

The modern figure of Santa Claus is derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, whose name is a dialectal pronunciation of Saint Nicholas, the historical Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra.
