World Bank Commends Fijian Government Financial Reforms
Governments reforms and initiatives will further strengthen the Fijian economy, says the World Banks Executive Director for the South East Asia Group, Dr Sundaran Annamalai. Dr Annamalai commended the financial reforms implemented by the Bainimarama Government following a meeting with Fijis Ministry of Finance permanent secretary Filimoni Waqabaca in Suva. There has been a lot of important work that has been carried out on the reform side and I am happy to see that, Dr Annamalai said. This is the message that I will take back to the World Bank. The senior World Bank official was also briefed this week by Fijis central bank; the Reserve Bank of Fiji, on Fijis overall financial standing. The RBF has given me a good overview of the economy and with the changes that have occurred over the last few years, Dr Annamalai said. There is quite a lot of optimism and the Fijian economy has recovered well from the financial crisis. Highlighting his meeting with the Ministry of Finance, Dr Annamalai pointed out that he now has a better understanding of the growth trajectory

Public Service Commission permanent secretary, Parmesh Chand is currently in Korea at the invitation of the Government of Korea. Mr Chand is attending the Public Relations and Goodwill Program organized by the Korea Foundation. Since its establishment in 1991, the Korea Foundation has been promoting mutual understanding and friendship between the people of Korea and other nations including Fiji through various international exchange programs. Within the scope of these programs, the Foundation invites prominent individuals from abroad who have distinguished themselves in various professional fields. According to PS Chand, the Korean Government identified candidates for this program based on their role in community and public affairs matters and upon initial identification by the respective Mission overseas. I will also take this opportunity to visit relevant institutions dealing with

of Fijis economy. Our discussions include an overview of macro-economic and physical policy issues which is also a regular consultation that the bank does with our client countries, Dr Annamalai said. We know that Fiji has medium term plans and needs infrastructure such as roads and ports so when the bank starts to engage with the government here, these are some of the priority areas that the bank can consider supporting. Fijis Ministry of Finance permanent secretary Filimoni Waqabaca said that the Ministry has highlighted certain critical areas that would assist Fiji in growing the economy. There are certain needs from governments side that needs to be addressed and these needs were presented to Dr Annamalai during his visit, Mr Waqabaca said. There are normal processes that we have to go through but we have highlighted certain areas that are critical for us in terms of growing the economy. We also have the objective of increasing investment and the emphasis is therefore on certain sectors such as infrastructure development.
Fijians and international visitors travelling through Nadi International Airport will see new big bright posters spotlighting the FIJIAN HOSTS program. Supported by the eight organizations that are responsible for processing travelers at the airport, the Ministry of Tourism launched the Fijian Hosts program in September last year to award top-performing frontline staff at Nadi International Airport. Winners are selected on the basis of comment cards filled out by international visitors, and placed in Fijian Hosts kiosks located in the airports secured areas. Three hard working frontline staff members at Nadi Airport were awarded FIJIAN HOSTS of the Month for their excellent customer service to arriving and departing passengers. Rakesh Mudaliar (FRCA), Mereani Naiveli (FRCA) and Rusiate Waqa (AFL), were given their awards for Fijian Hosts of the Month for March, April and May respectively by the Permanent Secretary for Tourism, Ms Elizabeth Powell, at a presentation ceremony at Nadi International Airport. Permanent Secretary for Tourism, Ms Elizabeth Powell congratulated the three winners for their valued contributions to the Nadi Airport experience for international visitors and Fijians travelling to and from

overseas. It is our airport front-line staff who greet our international visitors as soon as they arrive, and who farewell them on their departure from Fiji. It is their dedication and their friendliness that make all the difference to the visitor experience," Ms Powell said. The Fijian Hosts program is designed to raise public awareness of the importance of the role of the teams who greet and farewell our visitors at Nadi International Airport, Fiji's gateway, and their significant contribution to the tourism industry. It is encouraging to see the support of our visitors who participate in the Fijian Hosts program by submitting comments about individual members of our airport teams. We are pleased to learn that travellers are very much impressed by the service our Nadi Airport teams provide and that our tourism industry has been so generous and consistent in their support for this important program, she added. Each of the winners received a FIJIAN HOSTS of the Month certificate that is signed by the Minister for Tourism acknowledging their exceptional service, a $250 grocery shopping voucher, and a dinner for two (courtesy of Tanoa Hotels, Captain Cook Cruises and Jacks) with ground transfers provided by Tourism Fiji.

I will also visit the training institutions where our students and in-service officers are studying. Mr Chand will not return to office until July 15 and in his absence, the Permanent Secretary Labour & Industrial Relations, Mr Taito Waqa will oversee the day to day functions of PSC.
Regional Health leaders have expressed concern at the growing trends of diabetes related diseases and deaths in the South Pacific region. This was the topic of discussions at the recent Pacific Ministers on Non-communicable and Post 2015 Development meeting held in Apia, Samoa which was attended by Fijis health minister Dr Neil Sharma. Highlighting the increase in premature deaths which is directly linked to diabetes, hypertension and obesity, Minister Sharma said that a collective commitment can decrease statistics. Obesity underpins all the noncommunicable diseases. What we have seen is that obesity is on the increase and when that increases, other related diseases like hypertension, cardiovascular diseases takes place, he said. Dr Sharma highlighted that NCDs not only impacts individuals but also their families, their communities and ultimately, a nation as a whole. The health minister pointed to the signing of a communiqu at the end of the meet as a tool that all leaders can commit to. In the communiqu, the Ministers agreed on the need to include NCDs and mental health as a specific goal in the post- 2015 development agenda, Dr Sharma said. Meanwhile in a new development, the

Police Guard Crime Scene

AS people in the Northern town of Labasa tuck themselves away for another night in the warmth of their beds, a group of four police officers brave the cold night to keep watch at the murder scene on Korosomo Hill. The place is not a comfortable spot to be at especially during this harsh cold canecutting season. The elevated location of the crime scene surely does test one's patience and ability to endure the cold. I had the privilege of visiting the team at the scene on Tuesday evening this week and believe me, the roar of the wind at the top of the hill given the chilly conditions was something I had not anticipated. All that was there for the officers was a makeshift open tent and they braved the night telling stories, sharing jokes and laughing away as they waited for another day to come. As the sun set behind the rolling hills in Tabia, the cold harsh conditions set in followed by chilling winds. According to police at the scene, they had been keeping watch night and day for almost a week. The watch will continue until work at the scene is completed by the crime investigators from Suva. Police say the process could take another week depending on the investigation. After speaking to the police officers, I realised what these men and women go through to ensure justice is served at the end of the day. The crime scene at Korosomo Hill is the spot where the bodies of two youths were discovered last Sunday morning. Known to locals as Long Bay, the hill has been a spot for merrymaking, fun and parties for people that live between the Savusavu and Labasa corridor. However, the news of the death grips the town of Labasa and has changed peoples' view of the party spot. The police tent erected at the spot has not helped much in changing these views. It is a spot that may hold the secrets of the terrible death that met 20-yearold Tuatua resident Abhishek Kumar and 17-year-old Dreketi youth Samuel Vikash Nand. Police are still combing the drinking spot in search of clues that may uncover the truth to the gruesome and untimely deaths of the two best friends. Tabia farmer Aporosa Daunivalu summed up the conditions of the two victims after he first found them, describing the sight that greeted him that morning as hideous and gruesome. In the meantime, the families of the deceased wait for answers to bring them some form of closure as they continue to mourn the untimely and cruel deaths of their loved ones.
61K Pension Claim

A 69-YEAR-OLD woman charged with 30 counts of obtaining money by false pretence will reappear in court on August 30 for a plea. It's alleged Unaisi Marama collected a pension on behalf of her deceased husband although she failed to notify the authorities she had remarried. It's alleged that between March 15, 2005 and March 19 last year, Ms Marama collected her deceased husband's pension. It was only on May 18 last year that the matter was reported to the police by an employee of the Finance Ministry. It's alleged the total amount of money Ms Marama collected from 2005 until last year was about $61,000. Police prosecutor Caroline Fisher said the accused was willing to repay $10,000 upfront to the ministry.
A MAN wanted for various criminal offences in the People's Republic of China has been arrested in Fiji following a multi-agency operation led by the Fiji Police Force. The operation was executed after international policing agency INTERPOL issued a Red Notice for the Chinese national. With support from the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL), the Department of Immigration, the People's Republic of China's Ministry of Public Security and Vanuatu Police the fugitive who had been evading Chinese authorities was arrested at the Nadi International Airport last week. Chief Operations Officer Assistant Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu said the successful
Local Police Arrest China's Wanted Man
implementation of the Red Notice in Fiji was only possible with the cooperation of all parties on the local and international front. The execution of the Red Notice is a show of Fijis obligation as an INTERPOL member to aid and assist other member countries in the global network where in this case was with the Chinas Ministry of Public Security, ACP Tudravu said. INTERPOL Notices are international requests for cooperation or alerts allowing police in member countries to share critical crime-related information. In the case of Red Notices, the person concerned is wanted by national jurisdictions for prosecution or to serve a sentence based on an arrest warrant or court decision

Cash Returned To Rightful Owner

A NADI International Airport cleaner who found and turned in $10,000 in cold hard cash said she handed the abandoned bag to authorities because it was "the right thing to do". Saravina Lutuvou, 35, said she had strong Christian values and did not believe in the "finders keepers losers weepers" saying. "Firstly, the item was not mine to keep," the Rentokil worker from Nakorotubu, Ra said. "You get a good feeling when you do the right thing. I handed it in to the right people, and that's the most important thing." Ms Lutuvou's honesty was acknowledged at an afternoon tea party by Airports Fiji Limited. She and workmates Viniana Qima, Kelera Ratu and Mareta Rakai received mobile phones, gift vouchers and day cruise tickets, courtesy of Vodafone, Rentokil and Captain Cook Cruises. "In every organisation, individuals will be faced with challenges," said airport manager Joe Grey. "That is why we should acknowledge and support individuals like Lutuvou and her colleagues. They create a positive vibe and spread the gospel of honesty." Ms Lutuvou said her actions were a reflection of the Christian values instilled by her membership of the Assemblies of God and Pentecostal churches. "The bag was in an abandoned trolley during one of those morning flights that the Fiji Sevens team arrived in. I looked around and saw that no one was nearby and it was sitting there for some time. So I went and took the bag and trolley to the airport security. "They then told me what was inside the bag. I didn't even open the bag, it was not the right thing to do. When they told me it contained such a huge amount of cash, I became very afraid." She said she was later informed the money was returned to its rightful owner. When asked what was the biggest amount of cash she had ever handled, Ms Lutuvou said: "It was $1000 of my FNPF money." And when prodded on what she would do if given $10,000, she promptly answered, "first, I will work out and give my dues to the church before I think of anything else". Vodafone and Captain Cook Cruises have offered rewards such as mobile phones and day cruise tickets to acknowledge staff members who hand in and declare lost and found items. Rentokil country manager Edwin Pillay said the acknowledgement of his employees was one of the proudest moments for the firm.

Japan Provides 178K Aid

THE Japanese Government has provided three new classrooms and a tailoring room all worth $178,834 for the Wainibuku community. Children from the Wainibuku HART and neighbouring communities will benefit from the new school which will be opened for classes from next year. Japanese Embassy first secretary Hideyuki Shiozawa said his government was committed to helping Fijians by contributing to the empowerment of women and children through its grant assistance programs. "In January 2012, the embassy received an application from HART Fiji requesting our support to assist the Wainibuku community with its ambition to pursue a project consisting of building three classrooms and a tailoring room," Mr Shiozawa said. "Financial difficulties amongst other factors were the reasons behind such a request while the project was considered significant and noteworthy." Mr Shiozawa said the project was implemented through Japan's grant assistance for grassroots human security project program. "Japan recognises the empowerment of single mothers and children's education as very important elements in supporting human security. Empowering women and providing basic education to children will not only benefit individuals and the community at large, but also greatly contribute towards nation-building, not only for now but for the future generations."

Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry is calling on the international community to wait before committing to assisting next years elections. As international support for the elections grows, former prime minister Mr Chaudhry said in written comments to the Fiji Sun: Before the international community commits to provide assistance to hold the next elections, it must ensure that the new constitution meets universally accepted norms of democracy and human rights, will provide for credible elections, and is broadly acceptable to the people of Fiji. Mr Chaudhry, who was Finance Minister in Commodore Voreqe Bainimaramas post-takeover Cabinet, reiterated that Fiji still has no constitution. -Attorney-General and Minister Responsible for the Elections Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has said that the constitution release details are expected to be finalised soon. -Expressions of interest were sought over two weeks ago for iTaukei and Hindi language experts to translate the final document into the vernacular. -This follows extensive public consultations on a draft constitution. -Comment has been sought from
Mahendra Chaudhry Tells World: Wait For Constitution
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum on a number of comments Mr Chaudhry made. Mr Chaudhry said: There can be no elections without a constitution therefore, we see the current focus on general elections as being somewhat premature. Indeed, as we see it, the regime has a lot to answer for under a genuine democratic constitution and the restoration of the rule of law. Mr Chaudhry added: As far as the Fiji Labour Party is concerned, the 2014 elections are not the be-all and end-all. Our concern is that there is much that is wrong with the current Fiji situation. These must be addressed first before we can move to credible elections. He echoed similar sentiments to the Labour Partys fellow members of an informal group called the United Front for a Democratic Fiji. Mr Chaudhry said there was a need to set up an independent caretaker administration to oversee the holding of free, fair and credible elections and to lead Fiji back to constitutional and democratic rule. Seven years under the regime has taken a heavy toll on the nation and our people. The only beneficiaries are those in power and their close connections, Mr Chaudhry said.

Solomons Grateful For Fijian Digicel Appoints Satish Narain As Assistance", PM Is Told On First Public Relations Manager Day Of Honiara Visit
areas of mutual interest, including developments in the Melanesian Spearhead Group. Sir Frank told the Prime Minister that Solomon Islands was grateful for the assistance of Fijians living in the Solomons, who continued to contribute to the economic and social growth of the country. "We have a very big Fijian community here in Honiara and we are happy with the contributions they have made to our country over many decades", he said. The Prime Minister then proceeded with a program that included a meeting with his Solomons counterpart, Gordon Darcy Lilo. After that, he laid a wreath at the memorial to Fijian troops who lost their lives in the Solomons campaign against the Japanese advance in World War Two. 50 Fijian soldiers died in the Solomons Campaign during World War Two. He was accompanied by two Fijian veterans of the campaign who are part of the official delegation. Later in the day, the Prime Minister will attend a dinner in his honour hosted by the Solomon Islands Government. He also attended a church service and then another gathering hosted by the Fijian community in Honiara. The main Independence anniversary celebrations took place on Monday at Honiara's Lawson Tama Stadium. They include a military parade in which both Solomons security personnel and visiting Fijian troops will take part.
The Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama, has begun his visit to Solomon Islands as chief guest for the celebrations to mark the 35th anniversary of the country's Independence. He flew into rain-swept Honiara to a full ceremonial welcome and inspected a guard of honour before leaving the airport to pay a courtesy call on the Governor-General, Sir Frank Kabui.

Satish Narain, former Fiji TV journalist,has taken on his new position as Digicel Fijispublic relations &sponsorship manager. His appointment was effective from July 8. In doing so, the now former appointee, Zaheer Hassan, has resigned to continue further studies pursuing an MBA overseas. Speaking on Mr Narains appointment, Digicel commercial director, Andrew Skelton, said he had interviewed Mr Narain for the role and he was the best candidate for the position. We are excited that Satish has decided on Digicel as his next big challenge, Mr Skelton said. The role will look to strengthen our activation programme around key sponsorships, including the Digicel Cup.
Work reflection
Mr Hassan reflected on the recent development he had made on his
former position. The position of public relations and sponsorship manager was an exciting one and I have thoroughly enjoyed my tenure at Digicel Fiji, Mr Hassan said. It has been an incredible journey and an excellent learning experience for me. My major achievement would be writing the winning proposal for Digicel Groups Community Project Competition. Through this, Digicel Fiji was able to acquire funding of US$50,000 to refurbish the CWM Hospital maternity unit. Mr Skelton noted: Zaheer has been a valued part of the Digicel team with qualities such as integrity and professionalism driving the desired outcomes. Zaheers decision to complete his MBA will ensure his ongoing development, that will further enhance his achievements.

Fiji Fares Well In Disaster Preparedness, Mitigation
Start Your Own Business!
Esala Nayasi (with glasses) Director Political-Foreign Affairs, Fiji at the Disaster Meet in Nadi.
The Joint Meeting of the 2013 Pacific Platform for Disaster Risk Management & Pacific Climate Change Roundtable underway in Nadi is timely with Fiji experiencing an increase in the number of hurricanes and cyclones almost every year in the last five years. Ministry of Strategic Planning, National Development and Statistics permanent secretary Pita Wise said there was an urgent need for a more integrated approach in addressing natural disasters and climate change as Government did not have all the resources. Mr Wise said the partnership between multilateral and bilateral donors, the private sector, the civil society organisations, communities and the Government plays a crucial role in ensuring a well co-ordinated assistance to people affected by natural disasters. If things are co-ordinated well, then its easier for us to be able to address things when there is a disaster. The two issues here are mitigation and adaptation. We should not wait for a disaster to happen and then we react. This forum teaches us to put into play some of the strategies to minimise the risks and losses, Mr Wise said. Mr Wise highlighted that due to Fijis preparedness for Tropical Cyclone Evan in December last year, there was no loss of lives when disaster struck. If we all participate, we minimise the risk, which leads to less cost not only to the government but also the communities. We can rehabilitate very quickly. The lesson to be learnt is as to how we can build strategies so that we are ready for a disaster, Mr Wise added. The permanent secretary reiterated the need for all the stakeholders in disaster risk management and climate change to work together. The total economic value of the disaster effects caused by the TC Evan is estimated at around $194.9 million equivalent to about 2.6 per cent of Fijis Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Take Responsibility, PM Tells Industrialised Countries
604.581.0101
Australia, New Zealand Should Be Apolitical: A-G

Attorney-General and Minister Responsible for the Elections AiyazSayed-Khaiyum says Australia and New Zealands aid towards the democratic elections next year needs to be apolitical. Mr Sayed-Khaiyum says he has been told by Australian and New Zealand officials that the government needs to help build a credible political opposition in Fiji prior to the elections. But he says many other countries have pledged donations for elections without those demands, which he says are too political. Mr Sayed-Khaiyum says the coverage of the recent United States million dollar donation is overrated, considering PNG has given 11 million US dollars and many other countries are helping as well. He says the funding should be apolitical. This is not their job, its not their responsibility nor is it their business. He told Radio New Zealand International: We dont tell you what sort of opposition you need to have nor should Australia, nor do we tell Australia. So what we have said and made is emphatically clear to them is their assistance to the elections office needs to have apolitical approach. The elections office needs to be an apolitical institution.
PRIME MINISTER Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has called on industrialised countries to take responsibility for extreme weather events in the Pacific, including rising sea levels which is causing a whole nation to slowly sink below the waves. He said destructive and frequent hurricanes that gravely affected island countries were one of the consequences of the activities of the industrialised world and therefore "they should shoulder more of the cost". Commodore Bainimarama said the world should stop "dragging its feet" on the need to tackle global warming. "Let me say this to the big polluters, the big carbon emitters: Whatever the science of climate change, it is you who must respond to global warming, which threatens the very existence of some of our small island developing states," he said. "You need, for our sake, to set targets to curb your carbon emissions. Because the majority scientific opinion has it
that you are causing global warming. And we are seeing dire effects in the Pacific from rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events. It is not good enough to say 'it is all too hard', to put the protection of your own carbon-emitting industries first. "It's time for you to place yourself in the position of a citizen of Kiribati, one of the small island developing states whose very existence is under threat. "As they watch their islands sink, Kiribati has been forced to buy 6000 acres of higher ground in Fiji. We welcome them as neighbours and friends. But for the industrialised countries to put themselves first, to let a whole nation sink slowly beneath the waves, is bound to be regarded by future generations as the height of selfishness." Commodore Bainimarama was speaking at the opening of the Pacific preparatory meeting for the Small Island Developing States 2014 meeting in Samoa, held at the Radisson Blu in Nadi over three days.

Home Detention For Fiji Holiday Fraud

The woman who fragmented the dreams of Fijian holiday makers will serve her home detention sentence in the seaside settlement of Omaha. Anita Cranston admitted a charge of dishonestly using documents by accepting bookings for a luxury Fijian holiday home that she no longer had a right to. Ms Cranston ended up taking more than $61,000 of deposits from wouldbe holiday makers who planned to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and family weddings. In sentencing her at the Auckland District Court, Judge David Harvey said he was tempted to send her to jail as retribution for her victims. But Judge Harvey said according to the law, he had to impose the least restrictive sentence and imposed a home detention sentence of 11 months. alcohol and travel.

The guilty plea
Offence out of greed
He took into account Ms Cranstons reparation payments of $29,000 and her promise to continue paying $50 a week from her sickness benefit. Judge Harvey evoked the poet WB Yeats in sentencing and quoted the poem: Tread softly, for you tread upon my dreams. He added: You didnt do that. You fragmented the dreams of everybody. Judge Harvey said Ms Cranstons offending was born out of greed and her desire to live the high life. She spent much of the money on
Ms Cranston changed her plea to guilty eight days into her trial after an exchange with Judge Harvey while giving evidence in her defence. She had told the court she mistakenly sent one of her victims, Mericia Waqanimaravu, an email in April, 2011, confirming her booking for the home that included four bedrooms and bathrooms, a pool, spa and a garage full of holiday toys including a golf cart. Ms Cranston also asked for $2097 as a deposit. She told the court she had meant to send the email to a person called Mericini not Mericia. However, Judge Harvey pointed out that Ms Cranstons email was a reply to email. You cant make that sort of mistake, said the judge. Ms Cranston said she had made a mistake but Judge Harvey persisted. Give me some credit, Ms Cranston, for knowing a little bit not a lot but a little bit about how technology works. It doesnt work that way, he said. After the exchange Ms Cranstons lawyer Alice Kemp asked for an adjournment. Crown prosecutor Rachael Reed then presented a new charge that included all the complainants. Ms Cranston pleaded guilty.

Vijendra Prasad begged his 68-yearold mother-in-law not to be part of the fishing trip because of her health condition and the unfavourable weather condition. But Sarla Devi's love for fishing turned into a nightmare for the family when she did not return alive on the same day. Ms Devi accompanied two other people on an early morning fishing trip when the boat they were travelling in capsized in the Vunivadra waters outside Nadawa. The mother of five usually fished at the Nabukalou Creek and along the Suva seawall. However, her plan changed when she received a phone call from 53-yearold Montatau Akanisi on Wednesday morning asking her if she wanted to join her. She last spoke to her 17-year-old granddaughter Rani Kumar on that same morning asking her to arrange for

a date for the family prayer meeting to take place. When the media visited the family home at a settlement in Laqere, the family had gathered around the family's corrugated iron home while Ms Devi's husband Chandar Bali, 75, was standing at the corner of the house weeping. One of his son's Gyan Bali said despite being frustrated, the memories of his mother was all he had. "First we were told that the boat has capsized and my mother was alive. We asked to pick her bag from Babasiga in Nepani," Mr Bali said. However, he said their hopes were shattered when Ms Akanisi's husband Mohammed Hussain informed him that his mother did not make it. "She loved fishing. That was one of her hobby but I was half-an-hour late to stop her from going to this fishing trip. I could have stopped her if I was there on time."

SPR Invests $1.4M In Production Equipment
With more film productions expected to come to Fiji, South Pacific Recordings Limited (SPR) is taking the opportunity to extend its business. SPR confirmed its $1.4 million investment in new production equipment which it will be giving for rent. Director Ravindra Patel, said the company has brought in some lighting equipment that will assist during movie productions. We got in a lot of new lights as more opportunities for film productions are coming to Fiji, he said. We thought it is a great opportunity to invest and lights are something that lasts long and can be used in variety of ways. New equipment uses The $1.4 million investment has been for lights, transport and generators. These are a few of the things that we have brought in from Germany this year and we hope to invest in other things in the future as well, Mr Patel said. The company also has new cameras that can be mounted on vehicles and shoot scenes while a vehicle is moving. The new equipment is supposed to boost the quality of production because camera and lighting quality is one of main ingredients for a good movie, he
THERE is potential for local farmers to export their produce such as dalo to more overseas markets. And according to Ministry of Agriculture permanent secretary Ropate Ligairi, China joins the list of export markets that locals could tap into apart from the traditional markets in New Zealand and Australia. "We have quite a lot of opportunities for markets and China has a market now for taro," he said. "At the moment, we don't have enough taro to go to New Zealand and this is something that we want to tell our farmers that there are markets out there for their produce and it's something we could work on together." Mr Ligairi recently received a $5000 cheque from the Fiji Development Bank for this year's Crest Agricultural Show in the Western Division later in the year. He said interest in the show had grown over the year and farmers were utilising
Export Potential
said. We want to cater for all the requirement needs of film producers that come in the country either from Bollywood, Hollywood and even for local film production. Movies in line After 3G and Table No 21, Fiji is emerging as a hot spot for Indian Films. We are grateful for the Government to be able to get in Bollywood movies to the country, however more works are needed so that more opportunities come in, Mr Patel said. We have a few movies this year, one will begin in September and another one around November and December. Currently we were supposed to be shooting movies with the famous Sudhakar Bokade, producer of Saajan,but sadly he passed away Monday. He had three movies in line with Mr Bokade unfortunately it is a sad loss for the film industry as well as Fiji. The Fijian Government provides a 47 percent tax rebate to fully fund overseas film productions as a means to encourage film producers to use the enormous potential of the islands, with that it is also boosting local talents and employments. the opportunity to earn money from their crops and livestock. "For our farmers, it's a time where they can bring their produce and sell it. "Last year, one of our livestock farmers was able to get $12,000 within four days from selling his produce there is cash in crops and livestock," Mr Ligairi said. "Another farmer from the Central Division travelled to the Western Division where the show was held with farming equipment and sold all." He said another objective was to showcase latest technology that were available to farmers, adding it was also a time for farmers to interact and gather information from staff and experts from the ministry. The show, which is expected to run from September 3-7, has a budget of $250,000. So far, government had allocated $150,000 with about $50,000 collected as contributions from stakeholders.
Tuna is an important commercial fish but increased competition for tuna is causing tension between local fishers and industrial vessels in some Pacific Islands. Therefore, the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), has been tasked by the Heads of Pacific Islands Fisheries Departments to examine this issue. SPC in a statement says the problem occurs when industrial vessels compete with small-scale local fisheries (artisanal fisheries) for the same fish, in the same area and the same season. It is worse in areas where the industrial catch is large. Head of the Oceanic Fisheries Programmes Stock Assessment and Modeling group at SPC, Dr Shelton Harley, says three recent changes have the potential to cause the current concerns, including an increase in fishing activity. There are now fewer fish in the water to catch, he said. More fish are being taken than ever before by the industrial fleet and more of the industrial catch is being taken closer to artisanal fishing grounds. Taken together, these three factors can bring industrial fishing operations directly into competition with artisanal operations.
Tuna Competition Heats Up In Pacific
and artisanal fisheries, and suggests a number of solutions. These include the establishment of industrial fishing exclusion zones, the installation of near-shore FADs to make fish more accessible to artisanal fishers, and improving our understanding of the activities of small-scale fisheries, he said. SPC will work individually with Pacific nations to identify the extent of the problem and the changes they can make to resolve these issues. Dr Harley said SPC will also work with regional organisations on possible management actions. He however said that despite the shortages artisanal fishers may be feeling, scientists estimates show that fish stocks are still at biologically healthy levels.
Local reaction
Variety of tuna targets
The statement stressed that in tropical waters, competition is for skipjack and yellowfin tuna. Increasing use of fish aggregating devices (FADs) means industrial vessels are accidentally catching more of the other species important to the artisanal fisheries, such as mahi mahi, wahoo and rainbow runner, it said. In sub-tropical areas, industrial longline vessels target albacore tuna, but take as bycatch fish such as yellowfin and wahoo that are also important to local fishers.
Finding a balance
Dr Harley said a balance has to be found between the interests of industrial
Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Fiji Tuna Boat Owners Association, Russell Dunham, said the problem lies with the fact that there are more hooks in the water for the same number of fish. Mr Dunham, who is also the chief executive of Fijis biggest fishing company Fiji Fish Marketing, said there are too many vessels. He feels the efforts by SPC, which is a research-based organisation, would not be enough. We think that there should be more of a regional approach to this, he said. We need members of the Pacific island countries, including the Melanesian Spearhead Group countries, to sit and look into resolving this. Mr Dunham said the Fijian Government has currently issued 65 vessels with fishing licence for this year, which he feels is quite a lot. However, he acknowledged the decision indicated by Government to reduce this number to somewhere around 50 to 55 next year. This is a step in the right direction and the domestic industry is hopeful for a solution to this issue, Mr Dunham said.

The Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama, has announced that a further 380 Fijian troops are being sent to join the United Nations peacekeeping force in the Golan Heights. The contingent will leave Fiji at the end of the month to link up with the 183 Fijians who have already been deployed in the troubled zone that separates Israel and Syria. The Prime Minister made the announcement at an official dinner in Honiara at the end of the first day of his current visit to Solomon Islands.

BSP Lifes Bula Elite Gains Interest
Fijis government is now targeting the month of August to complete and release the country's new Constitution. Attorney General Aiyaz SayedKhaiyum told the media that the release of the new Constitution will depend on when the translation of the text are done and they have targeted the month of August to complete everything. We hope to have that done fairly soon; we have targeted the month of August. But as you may have seen we have also taken the approach that we need to translate the draft constitution

into the vernaculars after taking into account some of the submissions weve received. So that will be distributed to the population in vernacular also before the president assents to it. He said the constitution will put in place a code of conduct and an office of accountability and transparency. The new Constitution which will replace the 1997 constitution was expected to be released by the end of June as revealed by Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama to Radio Tarana.

AG Steps In To Protect Ba Squatters
Attracting and retaining the best international talent to fill skills shortages in key occupations is critical to Canadas economic success.
- Hon. Jason Kenney, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Citizenship, Immigration & Multiculturalism
The Bainimarama Government has made a dramatic intervention on behalf of hundreds of people living in a squatter settlement in Ba who are questioning the Special Administrator's plans to move them and sell off the land. The Attorney General and Acting Minister for Local Government, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, and his team made two visits to the Clopcott Subdivision in 24 hours to assess the residents complaints. He said that he had been deeply disturbed by the way in which they had been treated. I cannot believe the insensitive way in which the Ba Council and its Special Administrator have treated the legitimate concerns of these poor and vulnerable Fijian families. It is very upsetting that this was allowed to happen, he said. The AG said he had spoken to the Special Administrator, Arun Prasad, and told him to stop harassing local residents, some of whom have lived in Clopcott for up to 50 years. He said that he had been disturbed to learn that the Special Administrator had threatened to cut off the water and electricity of some of the residents if they did not listen to his dictates. "Apart from the fact that it is unbecoming of the Special Administrator to make such threats, he clearly has no legal authority to do so", he said. At their meeting with the AG, distressed residents told of how the Ba Council had sent earthmoving equipment into the area without warning and had begun demolishing cassava patches and coconut trees that were vital for their survival. The Bainimarama Government will not tolerate such an outrageous assault
on the basic rights of ordinary people and we have ordered an immediate stop to it, the AG said. He strongly criticised Mr Prasad the Ba Special Administrator and accused him of misrepresenting the true position of the Bainimarama Government at Clopcott and using bullying tactics against the residents. The Special Administrator claims that he had widely consulted the residents before all this happened. The truth is that he didnt and, as Minister, I have been misled, he said. The AG said that contrary to normal procedures, no Environmental Impact Assessment had been finalised for the proposed subdivision before the bulldozers were sent in. We can assure local residents that we are now ordering a complete halt to this development and there will be no forced removals until the entire project has been reassessed, he said. The AG said he had been struck by the willingness of residents to cooperate with the authorities and there was no question that they were being unreasonable or that they were opposed to development. We are now going to sit down calmly and work our way through these issues. But as far as the Bainimarama Government is concerned, people come first. If the Special Administrator wants to exploit this land then he will need to ensure that these long term residents are given a viable option which ensures their dignity, rights and sustained livelihoods, he said. The Minister visited the settlement after the community-formed Clopcott/ Valele and Vatuni Squatter Settlement Residents Committee wrote to him seeking his assistance.

George Goundars New $1.5M Vessel Has Arrived
Two In Custody Over Labasa Murder

Tabia farmer Aporosa Daunivalu, 44, could only stare and turned away after discovering the bodies of the two youths who were reported missing by their family last Friday. Mr Daunivalu said he would not forget the gruesome find at Korosomo Hill in Tabia, Macuata, as this was the first time he witnessed such a horrific sight. Police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro confirmed that a man and a woman were in police custody in relation to the deaths. Dead are best friends Samuel Vikash Nand, 17, of Dreketi and Abhishek Kumar, 20 of Tuatua in Labasa. Returning from Korosomo Village after visiting his relatives last Sunday, Mr Daunivalu said he was stopped about two kilometres from the scene by two people, whom he believed to be one of the victim's relatives. The scene, he said was locally known as Long Bay because it was a famous drinking spot to locals. "I was walking towards the scene when I met the relatives who enquired whether I had seen the two youths anytime while walking," Mr Daunivalu said. "I told them that I had no idea but one thing came to my mind and that was to check the drinking spot. "The two continued their search towards Seaqaqa and I decided to check the drinking spot suspecting that the victims would have been part of a drinking party at the well-known spot. After walking for about 45 metres, I could see two bodies lying on the path and that's when I stopped. "They were lying side by side and there was not much blood spilt on the spot." Mr Daunivalu said he walked back to the main road and used his cellphone to call police. "Police arrived at the scene a few minutes later and the area was cordoned off." Ms Naisoro said investigators were following another lead that could provide information on what led to the death of the youths. "We are also searching for another woman who is believed to have been last seen with the two youths," she said. "For now, investigations into the matter still continue." Naisoro said a post mortem examination was conducted and the reports showed that the cause of death was due to the injuries sustained. They were reported missing by family members after they failed to return home.

Three election experts are in Fiji to begin assessing what the countrys Elections Office will need to successfully conduct the 2014 General Election and subsequent polls. They have commenced what is officially being called a Gap Analysis/ Needs Assessment that will concentrate on capacity building in the Elections Office. The team includes a specialist from the Commonwealth, (Carl Dundas), one from the Elections Office of New Zealand, (Melissa Thorpe), and another from the European Commission, (Etienne Claeye). The three are required to identify the capacity needs of Fijis Elections Office, which will assist countries and development agencies best identify how they can contribute to the election process. The Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Elections, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum, welcomed the three experts to Fiji. The Bainimarama Government is treating the Elections Office as totally apolitical in our quest to ensure that the 2014 parliamentary elections are fair, transparent and have complete credibility. We also expect that this assessment and all development partners will also be apolitical, which is in the best interests of the country and sustained parliamentary democracy, he said. The AG said the Government was intent on building capacity in the Elections Office not only for next years poll but subsequent elections. From now on, we will be holding elections every four years and they can actually be called every three and

a half years. This means creating an Elections Office that has a permanent staff trained to a high level and capable of delivering elections held to the highest international standards, he said. The Attorney General said that previous elections had been hampered by a lack of expertise on the part of those charged with conducting them. We need to establish proper career paths within the Elections Office to ensure that we not only attract the best people but keep them, he added. Last week, the Attorney General chaired the inaugural meeting of a Coordinating Committee made up of representatives of countries with which Fiji has diplomatic relations to begin the process of discussing Fijis election needs. For the first time, the Government is considering the idea of having the election conducted in one day instead of over a week. This will obviously involve the Elections Office in a far more demanding logistics exercise than it has been traditionally prepared for, the AG added.

Chai Time
It's rare when you can't get her motor started, but this could be one of those days. This week is for dreaming, sleeping late, and letting your imagination do the work. Can't stay in bed all time? Then cancel your appointments and steal as much time for yourself as you can. Being alone is not being lonely. In the quiet moments of apparent inactivity, inspiration rises and carries you toward the next adventure.
Aries -
Cancer -
Taurus -
It's time for the skeptics to find out how right you are. You see, all they want are the facts, but you've got instincts that come closer to the truth. You acquire leadership without even trying for it. Friends can be working on your behalf without your knowledge. Trust your intuition now. Answers appear as if by magic. You're in the know. If you go for a stroll or a drive, you may discover wonders in the most unexpected places.
Libra -
Friends with unusual ideas begin to make sense to you now. Your usual resistance to new concepts softens as you discover the practical side of spirituality. Going with the flow can earn you group support. Alternative sources of income may arise for you today. Consider turning a hobby into a moneymaking venture. If it's inspiring, you'll profit. If you're just after the bucks, you're not likely to get the big prize.
Leo -
A message from a distant friend is full of interesting news. It stimulates your urge to travel. This is not an easy time to stand still. Your Libran charms allow you to help others in a most gracious manner. You seem to ask for little now, but are ready to give so much. It is truly a week to be of service, but try not to exhaust yourself in the process. Just make sure to match your compassion for others with an equal level of care for yourself.
Gemini -
No one is more adaptable than you, dear Gem, and you'll need all the stretch you can find now. On the one hand, you're a regular god or goddess this week. Lovely Venus entering your sign has anointed you as gorgeous. Men and women alike appreciate your charms. On the other hand, you could feel like a slave at work. It's as if you're a non person - no name, no face, just a production unit. Use your imagination to bridge the gap, and you'll find beauty everywhere.
A trusted woman could be disappointing to you in this week. Your usual generosity may be tested in the face of deception. It would be better to meet the truth head-on than to continue investing in a meaningless fantasy. Don't let your generous nature lead you to pay more than your fair share. Confidence is a wonderful thing, but one person does not a relationship make. Count on a friend to give you an objective point of view and help clear up confusion.
Scorpio -
It's amazing how much you can get done when everyone else is running around in a state of confusion. You may have to put up with many distractions this week. So many people are pulling at you with their little needs and demands. Fortunately, you've got the stuff to stay firm in the shakiest of situations. It probably would be best to listen more than you speak. Your silence will likely be interpreted as real caring and understanding.
Virgo -
It's your week to be a movie star, but not necessarily a villain or a vamp. You can be the gentle little lamb in this week. It's time for romance, but not the hot and heavy kind. This is more like puppy love, wide open and innocent. That's because this is more a story of play than one of commitment. It's only fiction. You're free of reality, free to imagine yourself just as you like. Even if you're dressed for business, underneath you're all silk and lace. Enjoy the feeling. Jeez, you tell a little joke, a playful little story, and everyone takes it so personally. Come on people, this is not serious. Skins are just too thin for your humour this week. You may need to temper your truths with subtlety. We know you love to go all out, but restraint is a key to the week. Evenings spent looking at family photos, or calling old friends, can bring tenderness. You could use that right now.
Aquarius -
We know you don't like to think about money very much. It's necessary, of course, but so far below your high ideals and aspirations. This week, however, is a time to consider your resources, both material and emotional. The big surprise is that your greatest gift might well be your imagination. Let the facts go, let the philosophy go, and see what you feel. A dream is waiting. It wants to come out, wrap you in its arms, and carry you to the stars.
OK, so you may not be at your coolest. Your usual sharp reasoning may not prove convincing to an emotional partner or colleague. Stretch yourself so that you're not limited to logic. Use imagination to see the other person's point of view. A little faith can go a long way in overcoming your critical nature. If you must vent, the evenings are good time to clear the air. Sometimes we need the pressure to build so that we can finally make the big changes.
Sagittarius -
Pisces -
Capricorn -
The Moon, the planet of emotion, is in your sign this week. Your usual sensitivity may be even stronger. Fortunately, everything you feel is not about you. You don't have to react to every sensation and thought. You're a kaleidoscope of impressions and images. Breathe them in and collect them. They'll sort themselves out in the days and weeks ahead. If you open your mind and your heart in a safe place, the inspirational muse may come for a visit.

Murder Trial: 'Feverish' Cleaning After Death
New Zealand Teacher Caught Stealing Pupils' Lunches

A NEW ZEALAND teacher has been censured after she was caught stealing lunches from her pupils. At first, children at the childcare centre were ignored when they complained food was being taken from their lunchboxes in November, 2011. It wasn't until the teacher was captured on a security camera opening the children's lunchboxes and pocketing food - or putting it directly into her mouth - that her pupils were taken seriously. The teacher did not deny the allegations. The New Zealand Teacher's Council ruled her behaviour amounted to serious misconduct and put limits on the woman's teaching certificate.

'Dead' Patient Colleen Burns Wakes Amid Organ Donation At St Joseph's Hospital In New York
Colleeen Burns, 41, of Syracuse, New York, was admitted to St Joseph's Hospital Health Centre in October 2009 after a drug overdose. Doctors concluded that she was brain dead, when in fact she was in a coma, and were preparing to harvest her organs for donation when she woke up on the operating table. The hospital was fined $US6000) after the state Health Department found that doctors ignored signs that Burns was still alive. The day before her organs were to be removed, Burns responded to a reflex test. Her toes curled down when a nurse scraped the bottom of her foot with her finger. Also, her nostrils flared on her way to the operating room, indicating that she was breathing independently. Her lips and tongue were also moving. Dr David Mayer, a general vascular surgeon and associate professor of clinical surgery an New York Medical College, told the Post-Standard that the decision of doctors to apply a sedative before removing the organs was strange. "It would sedate her to the point that she could be non-reactive," Dr Mayer said. "If you have to sedate them or give them pain medication, they're not brain dead and you shouldn't be harvesting their organs." Sadly, Burns committed suicide 16 months later. The family didn't sue the hospital because her mother, Lucille Kuss, said she had been severely depressed before the incident and afterwards was not concerned that doctors almost took her life. The hospital did not report the incident or provide an explanation until the Post-Standard journalists started asking questions. The hospital was also fined $US16,000 for a separate incident in which a patient fell and injured her head after she was left unattended. The hospital spokesman said that

William Avery-Wright's School Criticised For Naming Dead Student
A father whose son died after being hit by a car while crossing the road has criticised his school for telling other parents about his death before him. William Avery-Wright, 13, was running late for a rugby match when he was hit by a Land Rover while crossing the road at Worth School, near Crawley. An inquest at Crawley Town Hall recorded his death as accidental. His father William found out about his death on the way to hospital after receiving condolence text messages. The school said it told other parents in "good faith" believing William's parents had been informed by police. The inquest at Crawley Town Hall heard William should have been supervised by an adult while crossing the road. Assistant deputy coroner Bridget Dolan said: "A school rule was not enforced or adhered to." The accident took place on 30 November on Paddockhurst Road outside the public school's gates. William was pronounced dead at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill later that day.
School apology
Speaking after the inquest his mother, Lisa, said: "We feel very strongly
that we put a huge amount of trust into the school and expectation, and unfortunately those expectations weren't met." His father, Christopher, criticised the school after it sent out an email telling parents that William had died before he was informed. He said: "When I was collected by police I was getting text messages saying William had died. "Clearly I had no knowledge of whether this was correct." Mr and Mrs Avery-Wright are suing the school claiming their son should have been supervised while crossing the road. In a statement the school said it "respects and accepts" the coroner's verdict. It added: "Her findings reflect the school's admission that the rule that year seven and eight pupils should be escorted across the Paddockhurst Road was not enforced or adhered to. "For this failure the school apologises." The school said the speed limit along the road had been reduced from 60mph to 40mph and a bridge over the road for pupils to use is currently under construction.
A US man has devoured 69 hot dogs, beating his own world record at an annual 4 July competition at Coney Island in New York. Joey "Jaws" Chestnut ate the sausages with buns in 10 minutes, breaking his old record of 68 and winning the world title for the seventh year in a row. In the women's contest, Sonya Thomas kept her title with nearly 37 sausages. The first such hot dog eating contest was held in 1916, when the winner put away only 13 frankfurters. Thousands of spectators cheered on the competitors of the 97th Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. Mr Chestnut's main rival, Matt "Megatoad" Stonie, only managed 51 hot dogs.
US Man Beats Own Hot Dog Eating World Record
"I feel a little full," Mr Chestnut, 29, who weighs in at 210lb (95kg), joked after his victory. "I'm happy as heck. Things couldn't have gone much better." Meanwhile, Ms Thomas, known as The Black Widow, beat her closest competitor by three-quarters of a sausage. But she was not able to match her feat of last year when she ate 45 sausages. "It was very hot water, maybe too hot," said the 45-year-old, who weighs just 100lb. "I think it made me sick because I had to dunk in the water the buns, right? Then I tried to eat." The competition contest was broadcast live on sports channel ESPN, and featured much of the fanfare usually reserved for professional sporting events.

Man In Police Custody After Car Crashes Into Gates Of US Embassy In Canberra
A man is expected to face court after a car was driven into the gates of the United States embassy in Canberra. A car with Queensland number plates appeared to ram the main gates of the embassy, in the suburb of Yarralumla, about 6:00pm. Police arrived to find the car wedged against the gates with only minor damage. The 30-year-old driver was not injured and has been charged with causing damage to the embassy. The bomb squad was called to inspect the vehicle but there were no explosives inside. "We have deployed a number of specialist resources, including the ACT AFP bomb squad, as a matter of precaution," Acting Superintendent Darren Rath said. Roads surrounding the embassy zone near Parliament House were closed and embassy cars turned away, some unable to return to their official residences.
A fire has caused serious damage to a 17th century palace in central Paris, burning away a huge portion of its rooftop just as a costly renovation was near completion. The Qatari-owned Hotel Lambert on the Ile Saint-Louis island on the River Seine was one of the most wellpreserved private mansions in Paris. Its architect Louis Le Vau also designed the Palace of Versailles. "This is a setback for our historical heritage," Paris Mayor Bernard Delanoe told journalists at the scene. Firefighters rushed to the mansion at around 1am, struggling for six hours to contain the blaze, which broke out in a hard-to-access area below the rooftop for reasons as yet unknown. No-one was injured. By the time the fire was put out, 650 square metres of the roof had gone, part of a central staircase and some facade masonry had collapsed and rooms had been damaged by water and smoke, fire brigade spokesman Pascal Le Testu said. Art historians were evaluating the
Fire Damages Historic Palace Hotel Lambert In Heart Of Paris
damage to works of art, which firefighters had tried to protect, Le Testu said. They managed to prevent the blaze from spreading to surrounding buildings, which were evacuated as a precaution. The damage came as workers were putting final touches to a renovation agreed between Paris authorities and the owner, a brother of Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, the former emir of Qatar. Plans to renovate the mansion were only finalised after a lengthy legal battle between al-Thani, who bought it in 2007 for a price that media estimated was up to $102 million, and groups defending Paris monuments. Opponents to the original renovation scheme objected to plans to build an underground garage, install an elevator and new bathrooms as well as redesigning its garden. The mansion was occupied for 150 years by the Polish Czartoryski family, who sold it the French branch of the Rothschild family in 1975.

I was screaming for help. His 22-year-old daughter, Rachael, was inside the house and heard her dad yelling. I ran out of the house and I saw him under my car, she said. I just lifted so he could get free. It was just the

adrenaline rushing right through my body. I dont know if I would have been able to do it otherwise. Paramedics arrived and doctors at a nearby hospital told Simmons his injuries could have been much worse if he had been pinned under the Jeep longer. The grateful father is thankful his daughter was home and acted so quickly. Shes my hero for it, he said. I dont know what would have happened if she wasnt here to rescue me. Simmons said he has worked on several vehicles over the years and has no idea what went wrong this time. He only has some lacerations, and his daughter sustained a sore back.
19-Foot Python Breaks Into Australian Charity Store
Dozens Buried In Landslide At Zhongxing In China
Australian police were mystified by a chaotic crime scene including a hole in the ceiling and a smelly pool of vomit-like liquid until they found the culprit was a 5.7-meter (19-foot) python. The massive snake weighing in at 17 kilograms (37 pounds) was captured a day after a suspected burglary was reported at a charity store in Queensland in northeastern Australia. Its head was the size of a small dog, Police Sgt. Don Auld said. Before they found the python, investigators working theory was that a human burglar with an appetite for destruction and a serious illness had gone on a rampage inside the St. Vincent de Paul
store in the small town of Ingham. We thought a person had fallen through the ceiling because the roof panel was cut in half, Auld said. When theyve hit the floor, theyve vomited and then staggered and fallen over. Thats what we thought anyway. Police now suspect the python entered the store through the roof, which was damaged in a cyclone two years ago. The animal then plummeted through the ceiling, knocking over dishes, clothes and other items, before relieving itself on the floor. It somehow managed to hide from officials until staff spotted it lying alongside a wall the next day. A local snake catcher was called in to capture the reptile, which has been relocated to nearby wetlands.
Between 30 and 40 people have been buried by a landslide in southwest China as heavy rain in the area destroyed homes and bridges. The landslide in Zhongxing in Sichuan province was triggered by rain, the fire brigade of the provincial capital Chengdu said on its micro blog account. A Zhongxing official said "so far we only know 11 families were buried and more than 200 residents have been evacuated", but that workers were still searching for others. Much of China has been hit by heavy rainfall in recent days, including most of Sichuan, where three bridges have collapsed since Monday. More than 2,700 rescuers were deployed to search for 12 people missing after a bridge in Jiangyou fell down on Tuesday, local officials said. Accounts varied over the number of vehicles that disappeared in that incident. Lin Rui, who was driving a minivan across the bridge and swam to safety
through a torrential river, said there were 15 to 18 vehicles on the structure at the time. "There were several cars ahead of me," he told state broadcaster CCTV. "A bus or a coach, I can't remember clearly, was running ahead." Downpours have destroyed 300 homes in Sichuan and neighbouring Yunnan, the state news agency Xinhua said, and about 36,800 people have been relocated. Several major rivers were seeing "excessive water levels", the report said. Mountainous areas in China's southwest are prone to landslides and earthquakes. A landslide east of the Tibetan capital Lhasa buried 83 mine workers in April when it crushed their camp. In January, 46 people - many of them children - were killed in a landslide in Yunnan province after more than 1,000 rescuers worked in freezing temperatures overnight in search of survivors.
Nelson Mandela is responding to treatment but remains in a critical condition, South African President Jacob Zuma said after visiting him. The former president and global statesman, 94, has been in hospital battling a recurring lung infection since June 8. President Zuma's statement urged the public to continue "providing support and showering him with love". People who have seen him say he remains responsive. "We are encouraged that Madiba is responding to treatment," said President Zuma, referring to Mr Mandela by his clan name. The head of Mr Mandela's Thembu tribe, King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo, told the AFP news agency on Wednesday that he was "conscious" when he visited his hospital in Pretoria. "He could not talk, but he recognised me and made a few gestures of acknowledgement, like moving his eyes," he said. Last week, President Zuma denied
Nelson Mandela 'Responding To Treatment' - Jacob Zuma
reports that Mr Mandela was in a vegetative state. Mr Mandela is revered across the world for his role in the fight against white minority rule in South Africa. He was jailed for 27 years, before being freed in 1990 and elected president in 1994. Since Mr Mandela was hospitalised, his family's battle for control of his legacy has escalated. Last week, his grandson Mandla lost a court case brought by rival family members over the burial site of three of Mr Mandela's children. Mandla had relocated the bodies to his village of Mvezo without the rest of the family's consent. However, the court ruled that the bodies should be reinterred in the family graveyard in Qunu. He may now face criminal charges for alleged grave tampering. After visiting Mr Mandela, King Dalindyebo said he was doing all he can to give the former leader peace of mind over the affair.

Receipe
Easily digestible and packed with goodness and nutrients, New Zealand Spring Lamb is low in cholesterol, fat and calories, and is an ideal ingredient in a well balanced diet. A cooked 100 g fat trimmed portion of lamb provides: At least 25 per cent of protein RDA All essential amino acids Less than 6.0 g saturated fat and 0.4 g polyunsaturated fat Less than 50 mg of cholesterol Approximately 220 kcal of energy A rich supply of B vitamins particularly B12 and niacin A good supply of iron and zinc HOW TO STORE, THAW, AND COOK NEW ZEALAND SPRING LAMB TO STORE: Frozen New Zealand Spring Lamb may be kept safe and flavourful for six to nine months. If the original wrap is intact, simply place in your freezer. If the wrap is broken, rewrap the lamb in plastic wrap or place in a large plastic freezer bag. TO THAW: To obtain the best possible results, New Zealand Spring Lamb should be allowed to thaw completely before cooking. 1. Allow 4 to 6 hours per pound for thawing unwrapped lamb roasts in the refrigerator. Boneless cuts and chops will require less time. 2. Allow 2 to 3 hours per pound for thawing wrapped lamb at room temperature. COOKING TIPS: Don't overcook lamb roasts, chops, loins or tenderloins. Lamb is at its best still pink and juicy inside. Always serve lamb piping hot or completely cold. Marinate cuts to enhance lamb's mild flavour. Stuffings, glazes, and sauces add interesting variety to all cuts of lamb. New Zealand Spring Lamb can be cooked from the frozen state; simply increase the cooking time by one-fourth to one third. FREEZING COOKED DISHES: Casseroles and meat pies can be frozen for future use. Make double quantities, chill half in the refrigerator in an ovenware or foil container. Cover, allowing 1/2 inch at the top for expansion, and store in the freezer. Potato or dumpling garnishes should be added fresh at the time of reheating. Allow enough time to completely heat through to the centre. To see if thoroughly heated, pierce with a fork. BARBECUING NEW ZEALAND SPRING LAMB: New Zealand Spring Lamb is tender, succulent meat that lends itself ideally to barbecuing. Although it is lean meat, it has the right amount of marbling for flavourful grilling, without causing problems with flame flare ups. It has enough fat to drip down onto the coals, ceramic briquets or mesquite wood, to provide the necessary smoke for the characteristic barbecue flavour. Spring Lamb needs little basting or marinating to be tasty and juicy - a light brushing with oil and a sprinkle of herbs or garlic is sufficient. However, Spring Lamb combines well with a large variety of flavours and you may wish to try some of the tasty marinades
New Zealand Spring Lamb - A Healthy Food For Healthy Eating
for your everyday cooking or when you're entertaining. BARBECUING TIPS: Always clean, oil and pre-heat grill before cooking to prevent sticking. Don't pierce meat with a fork when turning or juices will run out. If glaze or marinade has a sweet base, add only in the last few minutes of grilling. If marinating at room temperature, an hour or two is sufficient, otherwise marinate meat in the refrigerator overnight. Brush salad oil on Spring Lamb for a tasty, quick glaze. Have all marinades, sauces and equipment like brushes and tongs on hand before you start cooking. Bring meat to room temperature before grilling. Trim off excess fat to prevent flare ups. Nick fat on outside of chops to prevent curling. For even cooking, make sure kabobs are the same size and chops are the same thickness. Soak wooden skewers in water before using. If alternating vegetable chunks with lamb cubes on skewers, make sure the vegetables require the same cooking time as the lamb. Tasty lamb sausages can be served on buns or used for kabobs. If barbecuing a whole or threequarter leg on a spit, be sure the spit is well balanced. The boneless shoulder and butterflied leg are good for kabobs. Shoulder chops should be marinated a little longer than loin chops. Boneless loins and racks are elegant cuts for barbecues. BARBECUE TIME GUIDE:
Times are only approximate because many variables can affect cooking: type of barbecue and fuel, location of grill, temperature of food and air, wind conditions, etc. Check Spring Lamb often to avoid overcooking. It will be much juicier and more flavourful if rare it should be slightly crusty on the outside, but pink inside. SAUSAGES: Rare 6 minutes turning frequently Medium 8 minutes turning frequently LEG STEAKS: 3/4" thick Rare 3-4 minutes each side, Medium 4-5 minutes each side LOIN CHOPS: 1" thick Rare 4-5 minutes each side Medium 8 minutes each side SHOULDER CHOPS: 3/4" Rare 5-6 minutes each side, Thick Medium 8
minutes each side BONELESS (Butterflied) LEGS: Rare 20-25 minutes, Medium 30-35 minutes LEGS, BONE IN: Rare 20 minutes per lb., Medium 25 minutes per lb. RACKS: Rare 15-20 minutes, Medium 20-25 minutes KABOBS: Medium, Rare 7-10 minutes TIPS FOR CALORIE-WISE COOKING: Since lamb is easily digestible and has a low saturated fat content (4.2g/1000 gram serving) it is ideal for weight control diets and low cholesterol diets. Other ways to minimize calories and maximize nutrition depend on the cooking method - braising, broiling, stir frying and microwaving are the most calorie efficient methods. The selection and preparation of foods should contain limited amounts of fat, sugar and salt. Trim meat of all visible fat; always roast on a rack to let the fat drip off; use herbs such as dill, rosemary, thyme, and other flavourings like garlic for added flavour without added calories or salt. MICROWAVING NEW ZEALAND SPRING LAMB Microwave cooking of meats retains juices and flavour. To ensure a crispy crust, because some microwave ovens do not produce one, pre-roast in the microwave oven and finish in a conventional oven. Browning agents, soy sauce or teriyaki sauce can be brushed over the surface of the meat before placing in the microwave oven. New Zealand Spring Lamb should be completely thawed before microwaving. To roast lamb, consult the cookbook accompanying your microwave unit for roasting times. Roast New Zealand Spring Lamb uncovered on a microwave roasting rack. Set the rack in a shallow glass baking dish and turn according to directions to make certain meat cooks evenly. Roast to 150F-165F (66C-74C). A microwave meat thermometer is the most accurate test for doneness. Leave roast foil-wrapped to rest in a warm place, to set the juices and complete cooking. The temperature will rise a further 15F (9C). Lamb chops should be cooked uncovered to the medium rare stage. A browning pan will yield a crisper surface.

Toronto: Severe Thunderstorm Cuts Power, Stops Subway
Stranded Passengers Sleep At Ottawa Airport After Toronto Flood

The Ottawa airport looked like a campground Monday night as passengers on planes diverted from Toronto due to the heavy rainstorm slept on cots. At least 20 planes were diverted from Toronto to the Ottawa Airport because of the weather. It was a very, very busy night in the terminal. The planes began to divert from Torontos airport at 6 p.m. Monday. Most passengers were able to book hotel rooms. By the time a flight from Asia landed in Ottawa later in the evening a Cathay Pacific Boeing 777 from Hong Kong, according to the website flightaware.com there were no hotel rooms available. When flights began to get diverted to Ottawa, the airport pulled cots from storage to accommodate the stranded passengers. The airport stores the cots for the Red Cross with the agreement that they can use them if necessary. The airport has only used the cots one other time: During a snowstorm in 2009. Stranded passengers were given vouchers for food at Tim Hortons, while the airport provided water. There were a lot of very happy faces that we dealt with. Anybody who needed help, we did our best to help them, and they seemed to be happy and grateful. By mid-afternoon Tuesday all the stranded passengers had been flown out, with most flights leaving in the morning and early afternoon. Beyond absorbing the Toronto-bound planes, Ottawa responded to the situation in Toronto with other offers of help. Steve Kanellakos, Ottawas deputy city manager, said the city spoke up Monday to say it was ready to help with Torontos emergency response. We contacted the Ontario Provincial Emergency Operations Centre and Toronto Office of Emergency Management and offered our assistance. He said the kinds of help Ottawa was ready to send included public health inspectors, fire inspectors, paramedics, public works crews, sewer/water specialists, heavy equipment, pumps and generators. As of Tuesday afternoon, Toronto had not asked for the assistance. CHEO also contacted Torontos Hospital for Sick Children with an offer of help. We have been in touch with SickKids and are monitoring the situation closely, Ann Fuller, CHEOs director of communications said Monday night. We are advised their hospital is still fully operational but people cant easily get in or out of Toronto so it is possible that Ornge air ambulance, for example, might divert to CHEO. We are prepared for that and our Emergency and ICUs are open to CritiCall, the provinces 24/7 capacity management system for hospitals. Again, as of Tuesday afternoon, no help was needed. Ottawa Hydro was also in touch with Toronto Hydro and Hydro One but were told the situation was under control..
A severe thunderstorm forced the shutdown of Toronto's subways, cut power to 300,000 in Canada's largest city and caused Porter Airlines to cancel all flights out of the downtown airport. Environment Canada said some parts of the city had been drenched with more than 90 millimeters of rain in the evening storm, easily beating the previous one-day rainfall record of 29.2 mm in 2008. Downtown was dotted with abandoned vehicles, some sitting in water up to their windows. Some subway stations were flooded. Partial subway service later resumed, but large parts of the system were still shut down Monday night (local time). Some commuter overland trains were disrupted during rush hour after tracks were submerged. Metrolinx spokeswoman Vanessa Thomas said

Rail Chief Blames Engineer For Deadly Train Inferno In Quebec

they unwittingly unlocked the train's air brakes when they shut down the locomotive's engines to douse the fire. He has now clarified that the shutdown of the air brakes "was an important causal factor in this whole thing". "The fact that when the air brakes released on the locomotive the train ran away would indicate that the hand brakes were not properly applied," he added. The blaze forced about 2,000 residents to flee their homes, though many of them have now started returning. The coroner's office has asked relatives of the missing to bring in brushes, combs and razors so experts can extract DNA samples from strands of hair. "They know their loved ones were there, on the site," said Steve Lemay, the parish priest of Lac-Megantic, who has been meeting with families. "Most of them are now waiting for confirmation - because that makes it official. "It's clear that they are not waiting for the missing to return." Canadian police have opened a criminal investigation into the accident, and officials from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada are also investigating.
the police marine rescue unit had started to evacuate passengers from one train with water up to its windows. "There's a full-on river on either side of us... We. Are. Stuck. Hard," passenger Jonah Cait quipped on Twitter. It was not clear how many flights were affected when the Porter Airlines terminal at the downtown airport lost power and the North American airline cancelled all of its flights. Hydro Toronto spokeswoman Tanya Bruckmueller said efforts to resume power to customers might be slowed as night fell. Toronto's flash flooding comes two weeks after extensive flooding in Calgary turned parts of the Western Canadian city into a lake and forced up to 100,000 Albertans from their homes. Three bodies were recovered during the floods.
A lone engineer failed to set brakes properly on an oil-laden train that derailed and exploded in a small Canadian town, the rail company's head said. The train derailed on a curve and exploded into a huge fireball last Saturday, destroying the centre of the town of LacMegantic in Quebec province. At least 15 people have been confirmed dead, and a further 45 are missing, presumed dead. Edward Burkhardt, the chairman of the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, was heckled by locals as he arrived in the devastated town for the first time. He says the company owes them an abject apology, and told reporters he does not think sabotage was behind the explosion. Instead, he said an engineer did not set the handbrakes properly. "Adequate hand brakes were not set on this train and it was the engineer's responsibility to set them," he said. Before the crash, firefighters had been called to a blaze on board the train while it was stopped in the neighbouring town of Nantes. Mr Burkhardt has previously blamed the firefighters for the disaster, saying

Edgewater Casino To Relocate Closer To Bc Place
Edgewater Casino is firming up plans to move from False Creek to BC Place, two years after a major expansion in that location was nixed by city council. The move was announced on a newlycreated website of Paragon Gaming, which runs the casino, and BC Pavilion Corp., known as PavCo, which owns the stadium and adjacent land. Site10a.com refers to the casinos future site, immediately west of the stadium at Expo Boulevard and Smithe Street. Its expected Crown corporation PavCo will take in $3 million in revenue from the new lease agreement with the casino, half the revenue from the 2011 proposal for a mega-casino that was unanimously rejected by the mayor and council in 2011. At that time, amid major public outcry, council blocked the proposed $500-million expansion, which would have doubled the casinos capacity, but said Paragon could move across the street with its existing operation of 600 slot machines and 75 gambling tables. In January, B.C. Lottery Corporation president Michael Graydon told The Vancouver Sun the gambling regulator was close to revealing plans for a new
Edgewater Casino near BC Place, maintaining the location was ideal. Paragon spokeswoman Tamara Hicks said Wednesday the current facility was only intended to be a temporary venue as part of Expo 86 and is slated for redevelopment by the landowner. As for the mixed commercial and hotel development that was part of the initial proposal and demanded by council in the relocation agreement in 2011, its not clear how that will proceed. We are in discussions with various potential partners, Hicks wrote in an email Wednesday, but did not elaborate on who those partners might be. While no firm timeline was available from Paragon, its likely the new casino could open in less than three years. The company has applied to the City of Vancouver to extend the operating permit for its location at the Plaza of Nations until Dec. 31, 2016. The current permit expires at the end of this month. That application will go before the municipal development permit board on Monday. BCLC has final approval on the development plans.
Canada's second largest emergency department at Surrey Memorial Hospital is getting set to open and this Saturday visitors will get a sneak peek of the vast, complex facility. At 57,000 square feet five times the size of the current ER it's big enough to fit three NHL hockey rinks inside. And the size is just the start of its superlatives and unique attributes. Fraser Health officials say it will transform health care in Surrey when it opens Oct. 1. For one thing, it's really not one ER but two a second dedicated pediatric emergency department is built into it with separate public entrances. The idea is to separate kids from other patients, particularly the 8,000 adults a year who arrive who are mentally ill or addicted, so kids no longer have to face some of the sights and sounds of the adult ER. Those adult patients will be triaged and escorted to a separate and calming Mental Health and Substance Use Zone for treatment, rather than being mixed in with other adults. The child-friendly pediatric wing will have an entertainment centre, special low-glare lighting in treatment rooms, and isolation rooms for kids with infectious diseases.
Public To Get Sneak Peek Of New Surrey Memorial Hospital ER
The July 13 free tours run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Parking is free on Saturday visitors are to enter at the southwest corner of 94A Avenue. The bigger building also comes with 275 more staff and 3,750 new pieces of equipment, many of them being provided by the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. Officials say the advanced new Emergency Department will help SMH attract more specialized ER professionals. It's all in anticipation of continued growth as Surrey's population continues to rise. Fraser Health projects the SMH ER, which now handles twice the number of patients it was built for, will hit 109,000 patient visits next year, including 8,000 with mental health or addiction issues. Adult visits are projected to rise 30 per cent from 2010 levels by 2020 and climb a further 23 per cent by 2030. The new ER is just part of the $512-million SMH redevelopment and expansion. The rest of the project is slated for completion in 2014 and includes a new eight-storey critical care tower with 150 more inpatient beds, intensive care unit, academic space and perinatal centre.
Royal Columbian Hospital EmergeUndergoes Renovations

Fraser Health will begin renovations on Royal Columbian Hospitals (RCH) Emergency Department (ED), to improve the sites ability to deliver care and meet patient needs. Three projects totalling $5 million are expected to be complete by early 2015, and include upgrades to the Emergency Triage Area, Emergency Mental Health Substance Use Unit (MHSU) and the Emergency Trauma and Isolation Rooms. Once complete, the renovation projects will improve safety and infection control measures, create more space for trauma patients, and enhance the EDs ability to meet standards of care. The new MHSU unit will also provide a more therapeutic environment in which to assess and care for patients. All renovations will be undertaken in phases, in order to maintain operations and ensure no impact to patient care or safety in the ED, which sees more than 64,000 patients annually. RCH plays a critical role in the Fraser Health Authority network. It serves as a tertiary and trauma facility and regional hospital for the Fraser Health Authority, providing the highest level of trauma care and addressing the most complex patient cases referred from all other Fraser Health network hospitals. RCH has experienced a significant increase in patient volumes over recent years, resulting in a growing demand for services. In April 2013, Fraser Health received government approval to develop a business case for phase 1 (to include a new mental health facility), the first step in the larger RCH redevelopment project, which will ensure the site continues to accommodate new technologies, best practices and the changing health needs of British Columbians. The ED renovations beginning today will ensure the hospital is able to continue delivering care and meeting patient needs in the interim.
Chickens are now at the top of the pecking order on urban lots in Surrey. Surrey council has asked staff to draft a bylaw allowing up to four chickens on one-quarter-acre lots during a pilot period of one year. The plan was initially hatched by a South Surrey woman looking to change local laws around ownership of chickens. Kate McMaster a South Surrey resident who keeps three hens on her property wants the city to amend legislation allowing the farming of hens on quarter-acre lots. Her plan was unanimously endorsed by the city's Agriculture and Food Security Advisory Committee on June 13. On Monday, council asked staff to put a bylaw in writing that will legalize ownership of hens on smaller urban lots. Noise will not be an issue, because hens are quiet, and roosters will not be allowed. Previously, chickens were only permitted on properties once acre or larger. Mayor Dianne Watts said the plan has promise, and has the elements of where
Chickens Coming Home To Roost In Surrey
the city wants to head with respect to food production. In fact, not long ago, the former Agriculture Advisory Committee was renamed the Agriculture and Food Security Advisory Committee with an eye to ensuring residents will always have plenty of local foods to eat. "That was purposeful in changing the name," Watts said Tuesday. "A lot of people don't want the amount of herbicides and pesticides that are put onto agricultural land. So we have to look at other options, and it can't be an all-or-nothing proposition." It's just where the wishes of the public is trending to, she said. "When we look at fresh fruit, fresh produce, fresh free range eggs, all of those things, that's what people want," Watts said. McMaster agrees. That is where I think and where I hope were heading towards, she said. Food security begins in your own backyard, and thats where I am at with this.

Families Devastated As Rent-ToOwn Company Owes Millions
Ontario Wal-Mart Employee Says She Was Fired For Calling Police About Dog Locked In Hot Car
Several families in debt from broken rent-to-own housing deals are devastated after learning Golden Oaks Enterprises, a company that now faces more than $2 million in lawsuits, owes many more people than first thought. On Tuesday, Doyle & Salewski took control of Golden Oaks after the court ordered the company into receivership. One day later, it met with more than 100 people in Ottawa who said the company owes them money. Jean-Claude Lacasse, also known as J.C. Lacasse, owned Golden Oaks until the receiver took control. He has since been evicted from his office and few people have been able to reach him. CBC News first broke the story earlier this month with a family that had lost their life savings in a failed rent-toown transaction. Lacasse had then presented them with a $10,000 cheque to offset costs, but the cheque was refused by the bank. CBC then spoke to home sellers whose deals fell through, forcing them to pay for two homes at once. Investors and contractors also reached out to share how much they believed Golden Oaks owes them.

Debts worse than receiver first thought On Wednesday, most of those people were in attendance at a meeting with Doyle & Salewski but they did not hear good news. Brian Doyle said he continues to delve through all of Lacasse's files, but he admits the more files he sees, the more money is owed. It was a harsh statement he had to make to the crowd on Wednesday, adding many families would be a low priority when paying back funds. "I'm sick to my stomach. I want to cry," said Catherine Sherping as she left the meeting. Her family of five is owed $30,000 from a failed rent-to-own deal. They continue to wonder if they will retain the right to buy the home or get their money back. CBC News has also learned investors in Toronto and Hamilton have also come forward with claims related to Golden Oaks. The total reach of Golden Oaks is not officially known. That will be released on July 25 when Doyle & Salewski shares its findings with an Ontario court judge.

First, seek shade when the sun is at its highest overhead and therefore strongest (usually 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the northern hemisphere). If kids must be in the sun between these hours, be sure to apply and reapply protective sunscreen even if they're just playing in the backyard. Most sun damage occurs as a result of incidental exposure during day-to-day activities, not at the beach. Even on cloudy, cool, or overcast days, UV rays travel through the clouds and reflect off sand, water, and even concrete. Clouds and pollution don't filter out UV rays, and they can give a false sense of protection. This "invisible sun" can cause unexpected sunburn and skin damage. Often, kids are unaware that they're developing a sunburn on cooler or windy days because the temperature or breeze keeps skin feeling cool on the surface. Make sure your kids don't use tanning beds at any time, even to "prepare" for a trip to a warm climate. Both UVA and UVA/UVB tanning beds produce sunburn. And there is an increase in the risk of melanoma in people who have used tanning beds before the age of 35.
SUN SAFETY
With the right precautions, kids can safely play in the sun. Here are the most effective strategies:
Avoid the Strongest Rays of the Day
Cover Up
One of the best ways to protect your family from the sun is to cover up and shield skin from UV rays. Ensure that clothes will screen out harmful UV rays by placing your hand inside the garments and making sure you can't see it through them. Because infants have thinner skin and underdeveloped melanin, their skin burns more easily than that of older kids. But sunscreen should not be applied to babies under 6 months of age, so they absolutely must be kept out of the sun whenever possible. If your infant must be in the sun, dress him or her in clothing that covers the body, including hats with wide brims to shadow the face. Use an umbrella to create shade. Even older kids need to escape the sun. For all-day outdoor affairs, bring along a wide umbrella or a pop-up tent to play in. If it's not too hot outside and won't make kids even more uncomfortable, have them wear light long-sleeved shirts and/or long pants. Before heading to the beach or park, call ahead to find out if certain areas offer rentals of umbrellas, tents, and other sun-protective gear.
Use Sunscreen Consistently
Lots of good sunscreens are available for kids, including formulations for sensitive skin, brands with fun scents like watermelon, long-lasting waterproof and sweat-proof versions, and easy-application varieties in spray bottles. What matters most in a sunscreen is the degree of protection from UV rays it provides. When faced with the overwhelming sea of sunscreen choices at drugstores, concentrate on the SPF (sun protection factor) numbers on the labels. For kids age 6 months and older, select an SPF of 30 or higher to prevent
both sunburn and tanning. Choose a sunscreen that states on the label that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays (referred to as "broad-spectrum" sunscreen). In general, sunscreens provide better protections against UVB rays than UVA rays, making signs of skin aging a risk even with consistent use of sunscreen. To avoid possible skin allergy, don't use sunscreens with PABA; if your child has sensitive skin, look for a product with the active ingredient titanium dioxide (a chemical-free block). To get a tanned appearance, teens might try self-tanning lotions. These offer an alternative to ultraviolet exposure, but only minimal (or no) protection from UV light. For sunscreen to do its job, it must be applied correctly. Be sure to: Apply sunscreen whenever kids will be in the sun. Apply sunscreen about 15 to 30 minutes before kids go outside so that a good layer of protection can form. Don't forget about lips, hands, ears, feet, shoulders, and behind the neck. Lift up bathing suit straps and apply sunscreen underneath them (in case the straps shift as a child moves). Don't try to stretch out a bottle of sunscreen; apply it generously. Reapply sunscreen often, approximately every 2 hours. Reapply after a child has been sweating or swimming. Apply a waterproof sunscreen if kids will be around water or swimming. Water reflects and intensifies the sun's rays, so kids need protection that lasts. Waterproof sunscreens may last up to 80 minutes in the water, and some are also sweat- and rub-proof. But regardless of the waterproof label, be sure to reapply sunscreen when kids come out of the water. Keep in mind that every child needs extra sun protection. All kids regardless of their skin tone wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Although dark skin has more protective melanin and tans more easily than it burns, remember that tanning is also a sign of sun damage. Dark-skinned kids also can develop painful sunburns.
Sun exposure damages the eyes as well as the skin. Even 1 day in the sun can result in a burned cornea (the outermost, clear membrane layer of the eye). Cumulative exposure can lead to cataracts (clouding of the eye lens, which leads to blurred vision) later in life. The best way to protect eyes is to wear sunglasses. Not all sunglasses provide the same level of ultraviolet protection; darkened plastic or glass lenses without special UV filters just trick the eyes into a false sense of safety. Purchase sunglasses with labels ensuring that they provide 100% UV protection. But not all kids enjoy wearing sunglasses, especially the first few times. To encourage them to wear them, let kids select a style they like many manufacturers make fun, multicolored frames or ones embossed with cartoon characters. And don't forget that kids want to be like grownups. If you wear sunglasses regularly, your kids may be willing to follow your example. Providing sunglasses early in childhood will encourage the habit of wearing them in the future.
A sunburn can sneak up on kids, especially after a long day at the beach or park. Often, they seem fine during the day but then gradually develop an "after-burn" later that evening that can be painful and hot and even make them feel sick. When kids get sunburned, they usually experience pain and a sensation of heat symptoms that tend to become more severe several hours after sun exposure. Some also develop chills. Because the sun has dried their skin, it can become itchy and tight. Sunburned skin begins to peel about a week after the sunburn. Encourage your child not to scratch or peel off loose skin because skin underneath the sunburn is vulnerable to infection.
If your child does get a sunburn, these tips may help:

Double-Check Medications
Some medications increase the skin's sensitivity to UV rays. As a result, even kids with skin that tends not to burn easily can develop a severe sunburn in just minutes when taking certain medications. Fair-skinned kids, of course, are even more vulnerable. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if any prescription (especially antibiotics and acne medications) and over-thecounter medications your child is taking can increase sun sensitivity. If so, always take extra sun precautions. The best protection is simply covering up or staying indoors; even sunscreen can't always protect skin from sun sensitivity caused by medications. If Your Child Gets a Sunburn
Have your child take a cool (not cold) bath, or gently apply cool, wet compresses to the skin to help alleviate pain and heat. To ease discomfort, apply pure aloe vera gel (available in most pharmacies) to any sunburned areas. Give your child an antiinflammatory medication like ibuprofen or use acetaminophen to lessen the pain and itching. (Do not, however, give aspirin to children or teens.) Over-thecounter diphenhydramine may also help reduce itching and swelling. Apply topical moisturizing cream to rehydrate the skin and treat itching. For the more seriously sunburned areas, apply a thin layer of 1% hydrocortisone cream to help with pain. (Do not use petroleum-based products, because they prevent excess heat and sweat from escaping. Also, avoid first-aid products that contain benzocaine, which may cause skin irritation or allergy.) If the sunburn is severe and blisters develop, call your doctor. Until you can see your doctor, tell your child not to scratch, pop, or squeeze the blisters, which can become easily infected and can result in scarring. Keep your child in the shade until the sunburn is healed. Any additional sun exposure will only increase the severity of the burn and increase pain.
Be Sun Safe Yourself
Don't forget: Be a good role model by consistently wearing sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater, using sunglasses, and limiting your time in the sun. These preventive behaviors not only reduce your risk of sun damage, but teach your kids good sun sense.
Use Protective Eyewear for Kids

Your Health
If you are the type to suffer from any particular kind of headache then you will agree with the fact that the world of headaches is very painful to deal with on a daily basis.
But it's not that simple. There are several kinds of headaches and quite a few culprits behind that achy head. And if you think that by simply popping a pill would ease your pain then you are completely wrong. You must know what is causing the headache in the first place. fluctuating hormone levels in the body. The headache occurs when the level of estrogen dips down before menstruation, which affects the level of serotonin in your body.
Top Headache Triggers
Skipping meals
Relaxing weekend
Working tirelessly from Monday to Friday and suddenly having a pleasurable Saturday can make you bang your head on your wall with serious head pain. At times headaches can occur after taking a break from a high-stress environment. The reason for a headache during break is as we relax, the level of tension goes down which decreases the level of stress hormone in our body. This process releases neurotransmitters - nervous system's chemical messengers. This chemical further sends out impulses to blood vessels which make them release pain-causing chemicals due to constant constriction and dilation.
you are not used to it. A tight hairdo, strains your connective tissues of your scalp which further causes headaches. At times, even uncomfortable caps or hair gels can cause headaches. Hence, keep your hair-free of unnecessary accessories to avoid pains and aches in the head.
Your hunger pangs can also make your head hurt. When you skip your meals the level of blood sugar goes down which further affects the blood flow to the brain and causes headaches. Hence, always eat your food at the same time and never skip meals.
Smoking
Bad sleep
Strong scents
Being an angry-bird constantly
Flying off the handle constantly an also give you a very bad head pain. The reason behind is when you are angry, the muscles in your back of your neck and scalp tenses up. These muscles cause a tight-band like sensation around your head ultimately leading to a headache.
A good night's sleep will help you to stay focused and active during the day. Sleep is also important for the proper functioning of the various brain muscles and tissues. When your normal sleep pattern is disturbed, tiredness may arise due to lack of sleep. This causes contraction in the head and neck muscles and leads to a headache. Insomniac and people with other sleep disorders may be at a high risk with this type of headaches.
Smoking can trigger headache not just to the person holding the cigarette but also to the near the smoke. Smoke contains nicotine which narrows the blood vessels in the brain. The headaches caused due to cigarette are mostly cluster headaches and are extremely painful one-sided headaches.
Bright light
Fluctuating hormones
Your partner's favorite perfume or the aggravating paint smell can give you an intense headache. Some people are so sensitive to fragrances that once they smell something uncommon or strong, the odor stimulates the nervous system and causes a serious headache.
Stress
Bright or flickering lights can cause headaches. This is because bright and flickering lights boost the levels of Hair accessories certain chemicals in the brain, which The various hairdos and hairstyles further causes headaches.

Stress is one of the most common causes of headache. Headaches caused due to stress can even lead to migraines. When you are stressed, the muscles around your neck and shoulders tenses up which limits the flow of blood in that area and builds waste products in the tissues which further causes intense pain and dizziness.

A new study suggests that taking a twominute stroll around the office every half hour could save millions from the misery of diabetes. Leaving the desk for a walkabout can have a bigger impact on your health than a brisk 30-minute walk before work, as reported. Anthony Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, said lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, which is reaching epidemic proportions in Britain. He said that short bursts of regular exercise in people with sedentary
2 Mins Walk Around Office Could Brown Fat Main Culprit In Heart Help Keep Diabetes At Bay Disease-Related Deaths In Winter
occupations appears to be at least as good as longer, but less frequent, periods of exercise in improving sugar and fat levels. Scientists at Otago University in New Zealand found that volunteers who regularly walked for just one minute and 40 seconds had lower blood sugar and insulin levels. Raised sugar and insulin readings are warning signs that Type 2 diabetes, a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, could be setting in. But the latest findings show that brief walkabouts could be all that is needed to lower the risks. More people die from heart-disease during the winter months because brown fat is activated by the cold, a new study has suggested. The present study, which has been conducted by researchers at Karolinska Institutet, and Linkoping University in Sweden, and three universities in China, demonstrates a new principle by which the cold increases the risk of atherosclerosis. The researchers conducted their study on a strain of mice genetically modified with a propensity for atherosclerosis. Mice, like humans, have both white and brown body fat. Normal rolls of fat consist mainly of white fat, which is a repository of surplus calories; brown adipose tissue, on the other hand, can convert fat into heat. This heat-generation process is activated by cold temperatures and has been considered beneficial to the health since it can reduce the amount of unnecessary white adipose tissue in the body. Yihao Cao at the Department of Microbiology, Tumour and Cell Biology at Karolinska Institutet, and the Department of Medicine and Health at Linkoping University, said that I the
Keeping Blood Pressure And Cholesterol In Check Could Cut Heart Disease Risk By Half
Controlling your high blood pressure and high cholesterol simultaneously could decrease your risk of attaining heart disease by half or more, a new research has claimed. Brent M. Egan, M.D., lead study author and a professor of medicine and pharmacology at Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, S.C, said that undertreated high blood pressure and cholesterol affect millions of Americans - posing a major public health threat. He said that the reality is that they know more than enough to prevent 75 percent of heart disease and strokes, but people not doing everything that they can do or even do it at a reasonable level. Egan asserted that some gradual improvements have been made over the years, but there is still a lot of progress to be made. The findings are based on data of more than 17,000 American adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys during in 1988-94, 1999-2004 and 2005-10. In addition to reviewing patients' blood pressure and cholesterol levels, researchers considered race, age, insurance status, whether patients smoked, had diabetes, had diagnosed heart disease and/or chronic kidney disease, and if they visited a doctor every year. Egan also said that if patients' cholesterol tests show a good highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) level, which is the healthy, protective cholesterol, then the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) number might get overlooked. He explained that not all HDL is equally protective and some people with a normal HDL are at high risk and in those patients, there might be a false sense of assurance that cholesterol really isn't a problem. He added that LDL and non-HDL readings are the ones to really watch and patients seeing their doctors for BP treatment should ask about their LDL and non-HDL levels and make sure both are under control at the same time.
beginning they thought that the cold activation of brown fat would only make the mice thinner and healthier. However, the team found that that mice ended up with more fat stored in the blood vessels. It turned out that exposure to low temperatures accelerated the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the mice, which can cause myocardial infarction and brain haemorrhaging. Moreover, the cold made the plaque less stable, and if such plaque ruptures, stored fat can leak into the blood, blocking vessels in the heart and brain. The cold-activated breakdown of fatty acids in the mice's brown fat led to the accumulation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in the blood and an increase in fat storage in the plaque. Cao said that if this is also true for humans, it might be wise to recommend that people who suffer from cardiovascular disease should avoid exposure to the cold and to put on warm clothes when they are outside during the winter. The researchers hope to be able to extend their work on mice to studies on humans.
Bright coloured citrus fruits like orange, lemon and lime can make your skin glow. Bollywood beauty and makeup expert Puja Taluja reveals how these Vitamin C rich fruits, known for their antioxidant properties, work well for your skin. Lime juice: Take a lime, squeeze it and add it to a glass of warm water with honey in it. Take a spoon and mix the contents well. Drink it every morning
Drink, Apply Citrus Fruits For Natural Glow
before breakfast. Lemon: Get glowing skin by simply rubbing a peeled lemon on your skin. But, don't do it for long and be gentle while doing so. It shouldn't be done longer than three minutes. Then wash it off with water. Orange: After eating the fruit, do not throw the skin. It can be used on your face. Dry the peels and grind them. Use the powder with water on your skin. This works as a natural scrub.
Nearly half of the newborns develop flat spots on their heads by the time they are two-month old due to sleeping on their backs to prevent sudden infant death syndrome, a new Canadian study has found. Published in the US journal Paediatrics, the study investigated the occurrence of positional plagiocephaly, or flat spots on heads, in infants 7 -12 weeks of age who attend a two-month well-child clinic in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, as reported. Researchers from the Canadian Mount Royal University assessed 440 healthy full-term infants who had been born at more than 37 weeks of pregnancy. Of these infants, 205, or more than 46 per cent, were observed to have some form of flat spots on their heads. Of all infants with the condition, about 63 per cent had flattening on the right side and about 78 per cent had a mild form of the condition, they said. "Since the 1992 recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics to have infants sleep on their backs, infant mortality from sudden infant death
Babies Sleeping On Back Have Flattened Heads?
syndrome has declined dramatically," the researchers said in a statement. "One consequence, however, has been an increase in positional plagiocephaly, or flat spots on infants' heads." According to the researchers, the high rate of head flattening indicates that parents should be educated early about how to prevent the condition from occurring. Flat spots, however, are generally harmless. The researchers said there is some indication that children with positional plagiocephaly have mild developmental delays, but that those typically disappear by 18 months. Treatment for the condition is usually simple and painless, often cured by repositioning the infants while they sleep, encouraging them to alternate their head position while sleeping on their backs. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend using any wedge pillows or other devices to keep babies in one position, and only kids with severe cases may need to wear a special orthotic helmet.

Sonu Nigam Feels Composer Shouldn't Yearn To Sing
Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan confirmed on Tuesday that the premature birth of his and his wife Gauri Khans surrogate baby boy is named AbRam. Shahrukh Khan made the news official himself via a statement, Amidst all the noise that has been going around, the sweetest is the one made by our newborn baby, AbRam. He was born prematurely by several months, but has finally come home, said Shah Rukh. Gauri and our whole family have been dealing with his health issues for a long time now, he added. Explaining his silence on the matter, he said: As a family, our silence on this subject has been because of the personal nature of emotional strife that we have been going through due to his health. The superstar also confirmed, rubbishing all rumours that there was no sex determination for our child.
Shah Rukh Confirms The Birth Of His Surrogated Baby Boy!
The baby was born much before the speculations of sex determination and other issues pertaining to the same were being raised in the media by some organisations. Suffice to say his coming home puts to rest completely false and at times insensitive claims of sex determination and alleged illegalities, he added. The actor also apologized to the doctors and hospitals who faced unwanted scrutiny and questioning by some parties and thanked the doctor concerned, Jatin Shah for his expertise and help to make the surrogacy successful. We also wish to thank all the other doctors, nurses and medical staff who have made his life possible, added Shah Rukh, He has appealed to all to allow us to cherish this private moment as a family. We sure will! Congratulations Shah Rukh!
Singer Sonu Nigam, who has turned music director, says a composer should not crave to sing songs. "I feel a composer should not crave to sing songs because songs itself decides its voice. The films where I have given music, I have kept my option for the last. Many singers have sung the song in my music. I like to make music and not necessarily I should be singing all the songs," he said. He has composed music for "Jal" with Vikram Ghosh. He has also given music for "Super Se Upar" and "Singh Sahab The Great" where he has done
the title song. "I get a lot of offers. Many people asked me to give music." Known for singing mesmerising numbers `Suraj hua maddham, "Kal ho naa ho" and "Saathiya", the singer admits his passion for singing is intact. Sonu, who also tried his hand at acting, says at that time the audiences were not ready to accept singers as actors. "I feel I was the first one to set this trend but that time people were not ready to accept a singer as an actor. But now audiences are ready," said Sonu, who featured in the 2004 movie "Love In Nepal".
Kareena Kapoor's upcoming film has some strange coincidences with 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' that released in 2001
It's been 13 years since Kareena Kapoor Khan has been working in Bollywood and looks like life just came to full circle for her. The actress apparently had a nostalgic moment while shooting for her upcoming film at the Filmistan studio recently. For her film helmed by Punit Malhotra, Bebo is currently shooting a song at the studio. And according to sources, this is the same set where she shot for her Leja Leja track from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). And the similarities don't end there. Her current film is being produced by Karan Johar, who directed her in the Shah Rukh Khan-Hrithik Roshan starrer. Designer Manish Malhotra designed her costumes for both the films. And incidentally, Punit, who is the director of her Imran Khan co-starrer, assisted Manish in Kabhi Khushi. A source from the sets says, `Both Kareena and Punit have come a long way and this happy coincidence is hard to miss.`

Warrant Against Mallika Sherawat In Obscenity Case

A local court issued a bailable warrant against Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat in connection with an obscenity case
Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, who recently underwent a brain surgery, reached out to his fans via social networking platforms Tuesday to gesture that he is "okay" and "fantastic"
Hrithik Roshan Gestures 'Okay' From Hospital Bed
The Vadodara district court issued the warrant and asked her to appear before it on August 19. Former president of the Baroda Bar Association, Narendra Tiwari, had filed a case and sought a non-bailable warrant against Sherawat over her "obscene" dance performance at a New Year eve party held in Mumbai on December 31, 2006. Tiwari had filed the suit after watching Sherawat's performance on television channels. He had made Sherawat and the management of the five-star hotel, where the event was held, respondents in the case.
The court had issued summons to Sherawat last week to appear before it on Saturday. Since Sherawat did not remain present in the court, Tiwari sought issuance of a non-bailable warrant against her. However, after hearing the application, the court issued a bailable warrant against her. The actress had been issued summons in this case in the past as well. She had moved to Gujarat High Court seeking quashing of the summons. However, her plea was dismissed and she was asked to approach the lower court.
Hrithik made the okay sign using the fingers of his left hand, while lying down on the bed at the Hinduja Hospital. A medical tube on his hand is visible in the photograph too. The 39-year-old star also posted a message for his fans on Facebook: "What's up! Hope everyone's making the best of their day! I'm horizontal but controlling and creating my environment to the best of my ability... That's all we ever need to do." "Hope you're doing the same! I'm fantastic by the way! Thanks to all your love and wishes." Hrithik was diagnosed with chronic subdural hematoma, and was admitted to the hospital July 6 evening, and was operated upon the next day. He informed his fans of his surgery via the

"Leaving you with this thought Everything can be taken away from you but one thing. The freedom of knowing one can choose their attitude in any given environment...Invent your own way! Love...supersonic style, he added. On Twitter, Hrithik did not miss the chance of wishing the best for his actor friend Farhan Akhtar, whose movie 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' is ready to release on Friday. "I believe 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' is phenomenal! Fills me up with bright light! miss running with you Farhan Akhtar. Certain you will conquer the highest with this, " posted Hrithik.
In Bollywood flicks, time and again one has seen an underdog character rising up to the challenge by learning English language in quick time and come up trumps in the face of adversity. While that is in real life, it was a tad different scenario in real life for Tusshar when it came to speaking Punjabi. "This happened during the making of Shashant A Shah's 'Bajatey Raho' which has a Punjabi backdrop, set in Delhi which demanded all the characters to
change their overall body language and mannerisms in order to get the perfect Delhi flavour. Though Tusshar did get it right for the limited duration that he had to face the camera, his discomfort with the language did have a little bearing. The pranksters that Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey (his co-stars in the film) are, they started pulling Tusshar's legs by conversing with him in Punjabi even when the camera wasn't rolling," informs a source.

Almost every Thursday since the last two years, Salim Khan has been organising special screenings of films for his close friends at a Bandra theatre The regular sighting of veteran writer Salim Khan with his close group of friends at a preview theatre in Bandra is quite heartening. After all, this group of senior actors, actresses and other Bollywood folk seem to be in no mood to languish at home. Instead, they are out there, making the most of their time together. According to sources, from during the time of Salman Khan's Dabangg, Salim has been consistently arranging special shows at Ketnav for his close buddies. And the latest films that the group
caught was Lootera and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. An insider says, `Salimbhai and his gang are regular members who come almost every week here. The producers normally organise the screenings for them a day before their films' release.` Some of the regulars accompanying Khan are his wives Salma and Helen apart from his friends Krishna Raj Kapoor, Asha Parekh, Waheeda Rehman, Sadhana, Shammi, Prem Chopra and his wife and others. And once in a while, accompanying the veterans would be Arbaaz, Atul and Alvira, who'd also drop by to catch a film.

At The Movies Grown Ups 2 (PG) * * * * Home Town Heros!

Sometimes it can be tricky to give a title to a film review. In the case of the latest film from Columbia Pictures, Grown Ups 2, I wasnt sure whether I should caption my review with the heading Home Town Heroes or Home Town Zeroes. Wanting to be fair to readers of all stripes, I think calling this a heroic film simply serves to highlight the good nature of this comical fare. Fans of both Adam Sandler and comedies in general should enjoy this outing now serving up some king-sized chuckles at the Empire Theatres Esplanade, Empire Studio 12, Colossus and Cineplex Odeon Theatres around B.C. With Grown Ups 2 we get back to vintage Adam Sandler mayhem. Thanks to the surprising popularity of the first Grown Ups ritual its three years forward and the same assortments of friends and oddballs embark on new crazy adventures. Only this time theyve given up on the backwoods for the friendly confines of big city life complete with big city problems. Back in action are Lenny Felder, Eric Lamonsoff, Marcus Higgins and Kurt McKenzie, along with their respective wives and children. Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore), Kevin James (Mall Cop), David Spade and Chris Rock are all great in their zany characters as parents just trying to cope. Guest shots by likeable Shaquille ONeil, Steve Buscemi (Fargo) further add to the funny business. Oh, and Salma Hayek adds her irresistible charms as Lennys caring wife Roxanne Chase Felder. All sorts of zany situations arise in this hilarious that come to a riotous head at a riotous party where its the old guys versus some hot shot younguns. Expect and receive great gags, cunning animals, sly humour and even a moral or two about bullying. Unlike many mainstream modern comedies Sandler, who cowrote this piece, puts together a film that has a certain charm and warmth amidst the comical chaos. No meanspiritedness or gutter humour is needed hear. Director Dennis Dugan succeeds in presenting a fun-filled 101 minute romp that is engaging and enjoyable and great for the whole family minus the sugar-coated saccharine of other G-rated films.

Cautions
Overall, the island of Taiwan is a very safe place for travellers of any gender and race. The Taiwanese are respectful of visitors and incidents of crime against tourists are very rare. A staunch police presence and harsh penalties also help to deter crime against foreigners. Taipei and other major cities are the main places to be concerned about your safety and security. Petty thieves are present in the crowded tourist areas and transport hubs of Taipei, so be sure and keep a close eye on your bags and valuables when in these situations. Night-time also warrants some extra precaution in the larger cities. Dont venture along dark streets or into parts of the city which dont feel safe at night.

buying travel insurance is suggested. Travel insurance will cover any medical bills or other health emergencies. Language Taiwans official language is Mandarin Chinese, which is spoken by everyone in the nation. Native Taiwanese is widely spoken, and English is becoming more prevalent since students are required to learn it in school.

Even in Taipei, the tap water should be considered unsafe to drink. No matter where you go in Taiwan, its wise to only drink bottled water, which is available everywhere. Many dairy products are made from unpasteurised milk and should be avoided. Ensure your meat and seafood has been thoroughly cooked, and your vegetables and fruits peeled The medical facilities in Taiwan are very good.

Foreign currency can be exchanged at the airport, in banks, and occasionally at hotels. When travellers arrive in Taiwan, they are required to make a written declaration of the quantity of foreign currency they are bringing into the nation. Unused currency can be exchanged back into foreign currency only with receipts from the original exchanger. Credit cards are widely accepted in every decent-sized town, making this a convenient way to cover expenses without exchanging cash. All major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard and American Express are accepted in most shops, restaurants and hotels. ATMs can be found in just about every town, and many of them accept international debit cards. Visitors should check transaction fees for each withdrawal. Travellers cheques are also widely accepted in hotels, shops and restaurants. The preferred currency
Despite the rapid development of Taiwan over past decades, life in this nation is still strongly influenced by traditional Chinese values. This translates to a lot of superstitious taboos which youll need to consider if you interact with any locals. Taiwanese are very superstitious about death. Anything to do with death should be avoided. It is against custom to write someones name in red ink, as this colour is related to death. Whistling at night is taboo, as this is believed to call evil spirits. Never point at cemeteries or graves as this will also alarm your Taiwanese friends. Clocks should never be given as gifts as these are also connected with death. Gifts are another subject of intense superstition. If the word for an object sounds even remotely like something considered unlucky, it makes a bad gift. Check with a local before bringing a gift to someone. Drinking is a common enough part of social life in Taiwan, but too much drinking is considered
If you are invited into someones home, be sure to remove your shoes before entering. Bedroom slippers will be provided by the host to wear inside the house, but if you use the bathroom youll be expected to change into a different kind of footwear. When you eat with someone, there arent many dining strict rules to follow. Remember the Taiwanese obsession with death, and never prop your chopsticks inside of your bowl. This image is connected to incense sticks, which are a part of death rituals. Always lay chopsticks on the rim of the bowl or to the side.
Visa and Passports
There are a number of different tourist visas available for visitors to Taiwan. Your plane ticket should include a Visa Exempt Entry that is valid for a twoweek stay. Otherwise, you can get a Visa Free upon arriving at the airport in Taipei which allows for a stay of two weeks. You can also prearrange a Landing Visa for a fee at a Taiwanese embassy which allows you to stay for 30 days. Visa extensions are not an easy prospect in Taiwan. Its best to fly to Japan or Korea for a short break and then return to Taiwan on a new visitor visa. Dont take visa overstays lightly in Taiwan. If you overstay without a valid reason, you will be banned from the nation for a determined length of time.
Volkswagen's Golf hatchback-along with its sporty GTI and high-performance Golf R variants-has a look and style that remains unmistakable among hatchbacks. And while it might have in many respects been a trendsetter over the long haul, the market for small, sporty hatchbacks is finally hitting the mainstream, with the Ford Focus, Mazda3, and Subaru Impreza hatchbacks, along with the Kia Forte and Hyundai Elantra GT, appealing to more than a narrow niche. Yet the 2013 Golf stands out as a different kind of car than those other models. On one hand, it has more of a premium small car look and feel, and that's a good thing. But the down side is that while the Jetta and Passat sedans were developed to be stronger values for America--meaning more space, lower price point--the Golf's true European pedigree keeps it one of the priciest models in the class. Compared to other hatchbacks, the 2013 Volkswagen Golf is still charming to drive, with a premium feel inside, excellent handling, and a firm but comfortable and quiet ride. If you spring for the base-model Golf, which starts at less than $19k, you should be aware that the base 170-hp five-cylinder engine is perky, but not all that refined or fuel-efficient. The best model in the standard Golf lineup is the TDI, with its excellent and very torquey clean-diesel turbo four-cylinder engine, available DSG dual-clutch transmission, and an EPA highway rating of 42 mpg, but that it's essentially priced as a premium vehicle, with a sticker price that starts more than $6,000 higher than the base gasoline Golf. The sporty GTI actually starts at a lower price than the TDI, and it's a blast to drive in its own right, as it includes all sorts of upgrades, in addition to VW's flexible and smooth

for both Golf and GTI models. Only with the Golf R do you get a ride that's somewhat harsher--as well as a little more engine noise. The Golf itself might not impress as quite as plush for the dollar as some of the newest Korean cars, but it has all the features and modern conveniences to distance itself from any econocar roots. TDI versions add an LCD interface for the audio system; satellite radio and a CD changer; steeringwheel audio controls; and Bluetooth. On the GTI, there are a few more standard features like heated side mirrors, a sport steering wheel, 18inch 'Detroit' alloy wheels, and a series of other appearance upgrades inside and out. A sunroof and touch-screen navigation are offered, but the Golf doesn't include Bluetooth at the base level and even at the upper end of the model line it's missing the active-safety options that have become available on some models, even in this class.
200-hp, 2.0-liter TSI gasoline four. Across all of these models, you'll find responsive electric power steering and a taut, not jarring, ride. Diesel models (and GTIs, of course) have even a bit more sport tuned into their suspensions. Braking is strong on the Golf, and in all, it's dynamically a cut or two above the Korean competition when it comes to road fluency. True enthusiasts are going to go for the new Golf R, which adds a higheroutput version of the engine making 256 hp and 243 pound-feet, and brings it to the pavement with a version of VW's 4Motion all-wheel drive system, a performance Haldex clutch pack, and many other performance improvements including stronger brakes, a lower, stiffer suspension, and dual exhaust outlets. And perhaps as a reminder that this is a low-volume performance model, it's only offered with a manual gearbox. No matter which one you choose, you get an interior that offers the same amount of space and usability--and nearly the same amount of comfort and refinement. The Golf, even in its
base form, includes good front seats and has a pervasive feel of quality throughout the cabin. But compared to other small-car models, it lacks backseat space--especially in threedoor models. Overall, refinement and ride are excellent across the model line
Use these tips to drive smart and save money

1. Slow down and save. Besides being dangerous, speeding wastes gas and creates more carbon emissions. Driving under 90 km/h improves your fuel-efficiency, and also decreases your emissions. Driving 120 km/h in a 100 km/h zone wastes up to 20 per cent more fuel. 2. Are you a jackrabbit? Accelerating and braking hard is often called jackrabbiting. This leads to hundreds of crashes every year. It doesnt save much time either. A European study found that jackrabbiting saved only 2 1/2 minutes on a 60-minute trip. However, fuel consumption increased by 37 per cent, and some toxic emissions were more than five times higher. Always accelerate smoothly from a stop, when passing, or merging on a highway. 3. Inflation is a good thing. Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure level. For every four PSI theyre under, your fuel consumption goes up by about two per cent. It may not seem like much, but it adds up over time. More than saving you money, properly inflated tires also last longer and are less likely to skid. 4. Plan to save. Why hit the road without knowing exactly where youre going? Plan your trip ahead of time, combine errands, and try to avoid heavy traffic and road construction to save fuel and time. 5. Turn offs? When your cars idling, youre wasting gas and pumping out carbon emissions. Turn off your engine if youre stopped for more than 60 seconds (unless youre stopped in traffic, of course). It wont hurt your ignition. And idling for more than 10 seconds wastes more fuel than it takes to restart. 6. Good tunes? A poorly maintained vehicle consumes up to 15 per cent more gas and produces even more greenhouse gas emissions. Keep up your vehicles regular maintenance schedule and save gas and money, reduce your long-term maintenance costs and lower your carbon emissions. A well-maintained vehicle is also safer and more reliable. 7. Junk in the trunk? You waste more fuel when youre carrying extra weight. Even an extra 45 kg (100 lbs) can increase your fuel costs by two per cent. Take out unnecessary items and save gas and the environment. 8. Not cool. Air conditioning may keep you cool, but it can also waste gas. There is a simple solution. Minimize your use of air conditioning to improve your fuel efficiency. To stay cool, use your car's flow-through ventilation when driving on the highway, and in the city, open a window. 9. Dont be a drag. Roof racks are like suitcases. If youre not using one, why carry it around? They create aerodynamic drag which increases your fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Reducing both can be as easy as taking off your roof rack. 10. Think small. Fuel consumption is different for every car. The choices you make today will either save you money or cost you for years to come. Larger vehicles are heavier and have more powerful engines, so consider buying the most fuel-efficient vehicle that meets your needs.

Make The Right Lifestyle Choice

Tea or coffee?
Tea or coffee? Walking or running? We're faced with so many lifestyle choices throughout the day, but how do you know you're making the right ones? Here's what the experts say..
the evening will actually disrupt your sleep. and you won't solve anything.
Answer: Calm down
Floss or mouthwash?
The effective treatment for soft tissue injuries is the RICER regimen Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and Referral. Apply crushed ice within a plastic bag and a damp towel to avoid ice burns. Do this for 20 minutes every two hours.
Answer: Ice
Black tea usually has far less caffeine than coffee, while green tea is packed with heart-healthy antioxidants. Coffee acts a bit like rocket fuel, kick-starting the adrenal glands and triggering the release of the stress hormone, cortisol. Not the best start to the day.
Early night or lie-in?
Answer: Tea
Answer: Morning
Mints or chewing gum?
Walk or run?
Cleaning between teeth with floss or interdental brushes removes the sticky plaque that tooth brushes cannot reach. And while mouthwashes can be helpful to disguise breath odour.
Staying up late with the lights on keeps our stress hormone cortisol high and suppresses our sleep hormone melatonin when it should be rising. This impacts our ability to deal with stress, lose weight, repair our tissues, and be ready for the new day. Try to sleep in a dark room by 10 pm.
Answer: Early night Fresh fruit or dried?
Answer: Floss 15 minutes without sun screen or two hours covered in factor 30?
People need to be sun-aware and avoid sunburn at all costs. It's fine to be exposed to the sun for 15 minutes without sunscreen to reap Vitamin D benefits, but not in the midday sun.
Mints can cause extensive decay. If you want to freshen your breath, use mouthwash or chew a sugar-free gum.
Answer: Sugar-free gum Fruit juice or fruit?
Power walking not strolling ticks all the boxes. Running burns around 30 per cent more calories, most people can't run as far as they can walk. Walking as fast as you can while pumping your arms is not only a great cardiovascular exercise, it doesn't require as much energy as running either.
Answer: Both Fresh or frozen?

Fresh fruit has a higher water content (more than 80%), which means a larger volume, making the fruit more filling but with fewer calories. Dried fruit tends to stick to the teeth, increasing the risk of tooth decay.
Answer: Walk Hard or soft massage?
Answer: Fresh
Research shows that frozen vegetables are as good. So, they quickly retain all their nutrients. But when it comes to fruit, I'd advise fresh every time. As for meat and fish, there's little difference. Fizzy drinks or fruit juice/ smoothies? Nutritionally, the latter are a better option, but they're both bad for teeth. Fresh fruit juice is acidic and, in excess, contributes to erosion of tooth enamel. Water is by far the best drink for your health and teeth but if you do drink either fizzy drinks or fruit juice, limit the damage by drinking through a straw which takes the fluid away from your teeth.
The fibre in fruits make it far more satisfying and filling with fewer calories. Fruit juices tend to be loaded with sugar.
Answer: Fruit Exercise in the morning or evening?

Studies show that morning exercisers are likely to stick with it. You're likely to have a healthier day because of the endorphins flowing throughout your body. While exercise helps you sleep better, working out too late in
The point of massage isn't to stimulate the skin, but the muscles lying deep below the skin. A professional massage should be effective in relieving tension, increasing circulation to the muscles, so it requires medium to firm pressure.

All business owners are eventually confronted with a serious dilemma - how to advertise, in which advertising medium, and which is the best deal for each dollar spent.

Can deliver your message to all people in a room simultaneously. Is fast, but not as fast as newspaper or radio because it tends to require more production. Like radio it is intrusive. The customer does not have to seek out the ad, like they must to find a movie listing or a rummage sale. The ad comes to the viewer. Available nationally, regionally or locally. Television ads can be purchased to focus on concentrated geographical areas, especially with the advent of cable. Has a wide variety of programming to match the nature or subject matter of your ad. Want to sell rock-n-roll CDs? Buy ads during Beavis and Butthead or Melrose Place. Want to sell feminine hygiene products? Buy time sharing soap operas. Is good for repetition of ads. TV can deliver your ad at any time of the day, 24 hours a day. You can get an exclusive, that is, your ad need not compete with a clutter of other adsbut you may have to pay dearly for it. Tends to be more cost efficient in terms of number of responses it produces compared to dollars invested. Is probably best for reaching those people who tend not to use any other form of media. The Bad: Most often is very cluttered. your commercial may be sandwiched deep within a string of other commercials, which have long since caused the viewer to head to the refrigerator. Also weakens long-term memory of your product message. Is sometimes hard to get. There are usually a limited number of TV spots available, and you may not get the program you want. Is perhaps the most expensive. There are a lot of production costs related to TV advertising. May be less demographically selective as some other media forms, although cable TV has helped in this category. Your audience can fluctuate widely. If 10,000 people see your ad one night, a mere 100 might see it the next if a high-interest program airs on another channel. TV is cost-inefficient when you are after highly focused target markets. VCRs are helping TV ads get beyond the "invisible ink" problem of broadcast media. A taped program may be viewed again and againon the other hand, your commercial may be fast forwarded. Of course, the only perfect way to make a final decision is through test marketing with each medium. You can do that by starting out with small, inexpensive ads in each medium. Those that bring the best results deserve to get your future business and a larger share of your advertising dollar. Good Luck!
It's fast. A newspaper ad can come out the next day. If you need business fast, this is great. Newspapers have wide range of advertising. Newspapers also have international news, local news, etc., all of which help you focus your advertising effort. You get a lot of room, if you need it. Remember, long copy always sells better than short copy. The broad area of a newspaper page is ideal for long copy. Newspapers can insert your catalog, flyer or whatever preprinted materials you might have. You can use them to distribute reader response items, such as coupons, contest entry forms, surveys, and other such things. Radio advertising is sometimes called "invisible ink." That is because it is gone as soon as it is broadcasted. With a newspaper, you can give the customer something to clip, or something they may see a second time if they read the newspaper a second time. Newspaper can reach large numbers of people, depending on the circulation. They are available nationally, regionally, or locally. Newspaper allows you to reach possible nonreaders who might be part of your secondary target audience. Tend to be cheaper than other media, depending on a number of variables. Newspaper ads are easier to produce, and thus less costly. A TV ad, for example, may require special effects, actors, video footage, etc.
RADIO
The Bad:
Most people have the radio on "for noise." That is, they are usually otherwise engaged with something while listening, and often are only halflistening. Repetition is more important to overcome general lack of attention on behalf of the listener, and thus, you have to spend more for more spots, which can make up for the lower cost. Makes it difficult for the listener to take physical action as a result of the advertising message. For example, most listeners do not have a pen in hand when they hear an 800 number to call or an address to remember. You generally need more up-front money to buy up the large number of spots you need to get the job done. Is not visual, and many people retain better what they can see than what they hear. Also does not move, another

Canucks To Host Senators At Bc Place

2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic Goes West On Sunday, March 2, 2014 our brand. One of the cornerstones of the NHLs event strategy, the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic took place on a sun-drenched afternoon in Calgary where the home team skated away with a 4-0 victory over the visiting Montreal Canadiens. The event was a critical and financial success, driving substantial growth and fan engagement on North American television, via digital platforms such as NHL.com, through social media platforms, at retail outlets and at sold-out McMahon Stadium. The 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic set an NHL event record for both total sponsorship revenue and activation. Other highlights from the 2011 event include delivering the fourth-largest audience ever at the time for an NHL game on NBC Sports Network and big audiences for CBC and RDS. The 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic led NHL.com to its best Sunday performance of the season and was the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in Canada. Additionally, merchandise sales for the outdoor game were the third-largest in history for an NHL event. The 2014 matchup between Vancouver and Ottawa recalls and celebrates some of the earliest history of the Stanley Cup Championship. In 1915, the Vancouver Millionaires, the first professional hockey team on the West Coast, were crowned champions of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). Meanwhile, in the rival league from the East, the National Hockey Association, (NHA - which two years later became the National Hockey League) the Ottawa Senators were skating to a league title. Earlier, the two leagues agreed to play a series between the champions of each league with the Stanley Cup awarded to the victor. The Millionaires swept a best-of-five series to claim the Stanley Cup Championship. Canucks Sports & Entertainment is proud to bring the 2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic to Vancouver to share this marquee event with our fans, said Michael D. Gillis, President and General Manager, Canucks Sports & Entertainment. The NHL Heritage Classic allows our sport to further celebrate the history of the game while doing so in a unique venue. We look forward to showcasing our city, province, team and fans this upcoming March. The opportunity to participate in this years Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic is something that is very exciting for both our players and our staff, said Bryan Murray, general manager, Ottawa Senators. Particularly playing in Vancouver, and against another Canadian team, it is an event that will really provide some nice nationwide recognition for our hockey club. Outdoor games have quickly become marquee events within the NHL calendar and the chance to play in one for the first time is a significant occurrence for our franchise. The 2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at the newly renovated BC Place in Vancouver will be a tremendous experience for the fans and players, said Mathieu Schneider, NHLPA Special Assistant to the Executive Director. The players on the The Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic will return to the regularseason schedule next season when the Vancouver Canucks face off against the Ottawa Senators at BC Place in Vancouver on Sunday, March 2, the National Hockey League announced Wednesday. The Canucks become the first NHL team to host a game in a retractable-roof facility and just the third Canadian NHL team to host a regular-season game outdoors, following the Edmonton Oilers in 2003 and Calgary Flames in 2011. The game will be broadcast live on CBC and RDS in Canada and on NBC Sports Network in the U.S. SiriusXM Radio will provide live radio coverage. With one of the worlds great facilities as the setting, and one of the worlds most scenic cities as the backdrop, the 2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at BC Place in Vancouver will honor hockey's Canadian heritage, Commissioner Gary Bettman said. With the excitement, the entertainment, the competitiveness and the fun of this game, the Canucks and Senators will create special memories for hockey fans everywhere. Additional information surrounding the 2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic, a League-run event, including ticketing information for fans of both teams, will be announced in the coming months. Fans interested in news on this and other NHL events should register to receive updates at www.NHL.com/2014Heritage. Were very proud to further extend our title sponsorship of the Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic, and help bring the excitement of outdoor NHL hockey to Vancouver, said Bill Moir, Chief Brand Marketing Officer, Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons has an intrinsic connection with hockey at all levels, which makes this event a natural fit for
TIMES SPORTS
Canucks and Senators will embrace the thrill of being a part of the third regular season outdoor game in Canada, a unique event that will be broadcast across North America. British Columbia is excited to welcome the 2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic to our province, said Todd Stone, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister. This is an opportunity to celebrate the history of hockey in our country, and I can think of no better venue than BC Place. With its retractable roof, BC Place will give fans the outdoor experience, while enjoying all the indoor comforts of this fantastic stadium. NHL Network and NHL.com will provide extensive coverage live from Vancouver leading up to and after the game. NHL Social will have coverage on all social platforms, including the use of the hashtag #HeritageClassic. Official fan packages for all NHL signature events will be available from Global Event Forum, the Official NHL Events Fan Package Partner. For more information on ticketing packages please visit www.NHL.com/ FanPackages. As a supporter of the 2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic, the 37 hotel members of the Vancouver Hotel Destination Association will be featuring weekend packages on their booking site, www.bevancouver.com.

Connect the dots and the coaching line for the Utica Comets could lead to Travis Green. Nothing is official but according to multiple reports, the buzz is that Green will guide the Canucks new American Hockey League affiliate because of his ability to work with young talent and his admirable job of not only filling in for suspended Portland Winterhawks coach and general manager Mike Johnston last November, but leading the WHL club to within a victory of a Memorial Cup championship. The biggest thing is that he kept us calm and collected as a team and brought us closer together even though the sanctions happened, said Winterhawks centre Nicolas Petan, who had 46 goals and 120 points last season to share the WHL scoring title with linemate Brendan Leipsic. He kept us into an attack and we didnt fall off at all and kept with the same systems, and I thought he handled it very well. The WHL levied a series of sanctions against the Winterhawks in late November. Cited for a series a playerbenefit violations over the previous four seasons, the club was suspended from the first five rounds of the bantam draft in May and must also forfeit firstround picks the next four years. The Winterhawks were also fined $200,000 and Johnston was suspended for the
Castlegar Native Travis Green Would Be A Good Fit As Coach For Canucks Farm Team
TIMES SPORTS
Portland Winterhawks interim coach Travis Green speaks to the media at the Memorial Cup in Saskatoon last May. Under the Castlegar native the Winterhawks went 37-12-1-2 and one win from the Cup balance of the season. With Green elevated into a head-coaching role, Portland could have packed it in or pressed on. Petan added 28 points in 21 postseason games and was selected 43rd overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2013 draft. He believes Green is ready for a bigger challenge. Hell be great, added Petan. Thats a perfect fit for him and its one step up. I think hell be up for the challenge. He taught me about patience and waiting for the right time, letting things happen and playing a full 60-minute

game. I kind of figured an offer would come around for him, so this is very exciting. Canucks assistant general manager Lorne Henning was an assistant coach with the New York Islanders when Green played with the Isles in the early 90s. When the Canucks purchased the Peoria Rivermen from the St. Louis Blues on April 18, the obvious intention was to stock the AHL roster with their own talent and develop prospects from within, rather than sharing an affiliation like they had done the previous seasons with the Chicago Wolves and Manitoba Moose. The 42-year-old Green played for seven NHL teams. The Castlegar native collected 193 goals and 455 points in 970 regular-season games. The 23rd overall pick in the 1989 draft by the Islanders has also served as an assistant general manager and assistant coach to Johnston with the Winterhawks. Moving up to the AHL and allowing Johnston to move back behind the Portland bench makes sense on several levels. With Green at the interim helm, the Winterhawks went 37-12-1-2 and had an overall record of 57-12-1-2. They defeated the Edmonton Oil Kings in six games to claim the WHL crown before losing 6-4 to the Halifax Mooseheads in the Memorial Cup final.

The people in the Northern division will now get a chance to watch the first round of the Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants in Labasa after the tournament was shifted from Ratu Caokobau Park in Nausori. This was confirmed by the Fiji FA CEO Bob Kumar. The BOG tournament has been shifted from Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori

BOG Moves To North, West

and the first round will now be played at Subrail Park in Labasa while the remainder of the tournament will take place at Govind Park in Ba. Kumar said. The Ratu Cakobau Park which was scheduled to be the venue for this years BOG has been under going major renovation work and this has led Fiji Football house to make the decision to shift the tournament. We were notified by the Nausori Town Council that the ground would not be ready on time to hold BOG tournament as there are work left to be completed so the board of control has made the decision to shift the tournament to another alternative venue hence we decided to take the first round of tournament to Labasa and then the tournament will be concluded at Govind Park. he added. The first round of the tournament will
be played at Subrail Park from 10 to 11 next month while the remainder of the tournament will be played from 16 - 18 in Ba. Ba is the defending champions and host for this years tournament and is highly likely to be seeded along with last years runner up Labasa.
