In Coldplay's hit 2011 song, frontman Chris Martin crooned ""Every Teardrop is a Waterfall."" Okay, while that's a totally ridiculous sentiment, it may have made a little bit more sense if the band had released the song this year, considering all the movies that caused us to cry waterfall-sized tears. Even with those movies that you approached fully prepared, knowing that they would turn you into a sniffly, blubbery mess (Les Misérables, Amour, and The Impossible), it didn't make them any easier to get through.
From the movies that broke our hearts in the most wonderful way possible (Beasts of the Southern Wild, The Perks of Being a Wallflower), to the movies that just plain broke our hearts (Bully, Amour again) here are the 10 saddest movie moments from 2012. WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF CRYING AT YOUR DESK AHEAD!
Les Misérables:
Fantine's swan song always brings down the house with tears, and Anne Hathaway's heartbreaking turn with the showstopper is no exception. In fact, the only thing that could hurt Hathaway's chances for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar is if voters' eyes are still too blurry and can't read the ballot.
The Beasts of the Southern Wild:
Take your pick from Benh Zeitlin's visual masterpiece, because the last 45 minutes of the film is basically one extended unabashedly crying in public session. But the scene that really hits the hardest is when Hushpuppy (the staggeringly great Quvenzhané Wallis) has to say goodbye to her dying father Wink (Dwight Henry). She may have been a strong warrior during her journey, but we were reduced to sobbing puddles.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a bittersweet anthem to the ups and downs of high school life. So when Charlie (the criminally underrated Logan Lerman) reunites with his friends after his tragic stint in the hospital and they play their anthem and drive through the tunnel once more, our own high school memories came flooding back. So did the tears.
Cloud Atlas:
When Adam Ewing (Jim Sturgess) is finally reunited with his wife in San Francisco, he gives a stirring, inspirational speech to her father. Once you realize that Adam and his wife are past reincarnations of Sonmi and Hae-Joo, the tears can't help but flow. Quitting the slave trade is just icing on the sadness cake.
Life Of Pi:
They could have called this thing Life of Cry, amirite?! Between Pi sitting on the boat after his family has perished and the sad death of the orangutan, we were already goners. But it's when Pi's loyal tiger leaves his side after their journey at sea, without even a goodbye, that did us in.
Just...all of it.
The Hunger Games:
There were a lot of changes made from Suzanne Collins' wildly popular saga when it hit the big screen, but sadly, Rue's horrendous death remained the same in that it made fans cry a whole lot. When Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) gives Rue peace in comfort in the final moments of her all-too-short life by singing to her, we were chanting for her to win even more between bouts of weeping.
Like Rue's death, we knew the fate of poor Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio). And while our hearts have gone on since 1997, watching him die an icy, watery death in 2012 in 3D made all those emotions come rushing back. We'll never let go.
There were plenty of documentaries in 2012 that struck a nerve with viewers. But hearts everywhere broke when we met sweet, quiet middle school student Alex Libby for the first time, and witnessed the hell he has endured at the hand of his bullies. Whether we were crying because we related, crying because we felt helpless to do anything for him, or even crying out of regret for the way we treated our classmates, it didn't matter: we were just crying.
The Impossible:
As much as you try to brace yourself for The Impossible, the harrowing, inspirational account of a real-life family who, against all odds, survived the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia, nothing prepares you for how emotional the experience of their reunions after being torn apart is. Don't believe us? Try to make it through the trailer without losing it, let alone a two hour movie.

If your baby is still unsettled after checking whether they are hungry, cold or hot, needs changing or tired and just wants a cuddle you could try some of the following;
Babies love to hear your voice so try talking to your baby.
Babies love gentle rhythm so try rocking them. Patting him may also help to soothe. Its thought a gentle patting noise will remind your baby of your heartbeat.
Make shushing noises, or other white noise such as the hairdryer, will remind your baby of being in the womb.
Wrap them up and hold them tight, keeping your baby snug just like when they were in the womb will reassure and settle your baby.
Try baby massage, a great way of forming a bond and closeness with your baby.
Take a drive. Driving around the block combines steady motion and white noise. If driving isn't convenient, try a vibrating bouncy seat or swing, which also have the white-noise/movement combo.
Many mum's swear by baths to calm their babies. The sound of the running water and the warmth on the skin can do wonders for a crying baby. You can get into the tub, too, to add soothing skin-to-skin contact.
Distract your baby. Introduce a new toy or shift his attention to the family pet or a mirror (so they can gaze at themself). They may well forget all about their cranky mood.
ALWAYS keep your cool. If you get frustrated, your infant will pick up on that tension and react, and this pattern can become a cycle that's hard to break. Trying too hard to calm your baby can also backfire - some simply don't like to be handled as much as others. While you shouldn't let infants under 3 months cry it out, it's okay to let them fuss for five minutes. This will give yours the opportunity to start to figure out how to soothe themself (and it may give you a chance to regroup, too).
Keep your baby close for comfort, lie your baby on your chest or hold them over your shoulder, they will enjoy seeing the world from a different angle. Your baby will also enjoy sucking so offer your breast, bottle or pacifier.
Never hesitate to consult medical advice if you are unable to calm your baby once you have addressed all the common concerns as listed above. When a baby cries, it triggers the release of the hormone prolactin (dubbed "the mothering hormone") in mums, which creates an urge to pick up the baby and meet their needs. You're hardwired to soothe your baby, and when that doesn't happen, it can make you feel like a failure. But your baby's fussiness is not a reflection on your parenting skills - and it's completely normal for a baby to cry even when there doesn't seem to be a direct cause. If you're ever in doubt, however, don't hesitate to call your doctor to make sure there isn't an underlying problem.

I expect my children to play nicely together, but I don't mandate sharing either. If a toy is being fought over too much, it goes in time out. Often times, they will come up with their own suggestions about how to solve the problem, like setting a timer for turn-taking. Most of our toys are group toys and they're not allowed to say "this is mine and you can't play with it" but they do have individual special toys that they can keep to themselves and don't need to share at all.
If we are out and they see someone else's toy, I just tell them it belongs to someone else and they can't have it. Same as at the store and they can't touch stuff we are not going to buy. They are generally really good (with a few reminders) about not being grabby with other people's things, because I have never let them play with other people's things unless they were specifically invited to play with them.

The Paddy's Pub gang is getting a new location. Don't worry, the demented It's Always Sunny crew isn't moving out of Philadelphia, they're just heading to a new network. Well, sort of. FX announced at their New York City upfronts on Thursday that they are expanding on their brand by launching FXX. (It's not what you're thinking, so get your head out of the gutter, Dennises of the world!)
RELATED: 'It's Always Sunny' Promo: Haley Joel Osment as Mac!
FXX will be a comedy-based spin-off network (just one of the FX off-shoots, that also includes FXM and FXNOW, in case you aren't sufficiently confused) aimed at younger audiences. Cult darlings like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League - both renewed for their tenth season and sixth season, respectively - will lead the charge. (Sunny and The League will have Season 9 and Season 5, respectively, on FX until the new network launches).
RELATED: Why 'It's Always Sunny' Star Kaitlin Olson Deserves An Emmy
Additionally, Legit -which debuted last year - will get a Season 2 on FXX and the pop culture topic series Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell will also be making the move to the new network and expand to a 5-nights-a-week format.
RELATED: 'It's Always Sunny' Season 8 Premiere React
The sister FXX network - which will also air comedy movies in addition to their original television programming and will eventually introduce dramas to their line-up - will launch on September 2 to an estimated 74 million households.

One woman was killed in a single-vehicle highway crash late Wednesday night near Tyler.
55-year-old Virginia Wyatt of Tyler was killed in a one-vehicle accident around 11:45 p.m. in the 13000 block of Highway 64 West, according to authorities.
A Dixie volunteer firefighter said the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, when the driver left the roadway and hit a tree in the parking lot of the 64 RV Park. Wyatt was the only occupant.
Roads in the area were wet at the time, but it's unclear if that was a factor in the crash.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating the wreck and said further details would not be available until later Thursday morning.

In final of Chekouras Classic, HHS falls in OT to Oshkosh North, 55-54
In a wild, physical and messy affair, the Homestead boys basketball team had its chances but couldn't come with the title in its own John Chekouras Classic Tuesday night, as Oshkosh North's Taylor Cameron hit one of two free throws with five seconds left to break a 54-all tie and give the Spartans the championship, 55-54.
But the late Homestead Hall of Fame coach Chekouras probably would have loved the effort put forth in the final of this fourth annual event and he probably wouldn't have minded a friend taking home the hardware in the end. Chekouras passed away surprisingly in 2006 after a long and successful career as Highlander coach and Homestead has now lost in the final of his tournament three of the four years its been held.
"Maybe I shouldn't schedule all these top four in state teams (that's where the Spartans finished last season)," chuckled a rueful Highlander coach Ray Curry. "The big picture is, is that we would love to win the tournament, but I'm OK with the other guy winning it. Frank Schade (North's coach) was tight with John. He respected John and he's been around a long time. He understands why we do the tournament and what it means to us."
Both of the veteran mentors would have definitely liked a lot fewer turnovers, a lot more made free throws and many fewer missed no-footers.
It was just that kind of game.» Read Full Article
Delivery man cited for swearing when woman asks him to move his truck
A delivery man making a delivery outside Walgreens was cited for disorderly conduct after yelling and swearing Sept. 3.
According to the Mequon police report:
The 26-year-old Oconomowoc man was making a delivery outside of Walgreens, 11270 N. Port Washington Road, at 3:55 p.m. Sept. 3.
He left the delivery truck blocking parked cars outside of the store, and a woman asked him to move the truck so she could leave.
He responded by yelling at her in front of her child, saying, "I can park wherever I (expletive) want to," and then saying, "I don't give a (expletive)."» Read Full Article
Preps football photos of the week: Sept. 19
Big conference games and intercity rivalries were a big part of high school football as the season continued in Week 5 on Sept. 19.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 5.
River Hills adopts sex offender zoning restrictions
River Hills — River Hills is the latest community to adopt sex offender residency restrictions.
The Village Board on Wednesday night adopted an ordinance restricting sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools, parks and other areas where children gather.
Last month, Whitefish Bay set a 1,750-foot buffer around those child-friendly areas. Shorewood is considering similar legislation, with a vote expected to come before the Village Board in November. Hales Corners is the only other Milwaukee County community without residency restrictions.
The actions of these three North Shore communities is prompted by the Milwaukee Common Council's recent vote to prohibit sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school, park, or place where children congregate. That ordinance would severely limit where sex offenders can live within Milwaukee, which is home to more than 85 percent of the county's sex offenders.
Sears will close Bayshore store
Glendale — The Sears store and Sears Auto Center in the Bayshore Town Center will close to the public in early December.
Howard Riefs, the company's spokesman, said the store's closing is part of a larger pivot in business operations.
"Store closures are part of a series of actions we're taking to reduce on-going expenses, adjust our asset base, and accelerate the transformation of our business model," he said. "These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers and members through integrated retail – at the store, online and in the home."
The store will begin its liquidation sale on September 26.
The store and auto center have a combined 86 employees. Those associates that are eligible will receive severance and have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Sears or Kmart stores.
Hassless Mattress opens 4 worker-less retail outlets
Hassless Mattress, a retail business spun out of the Penny Mustard furniture chain, has opened four Milwaukee-area stores with an unusual twist — no employees are on hand to staff the locations.
The outlets open and close remotely, and are fitted with security cameras that can be monitored over the Internet. The shops are stocked with mattress that customers can order from a computer or by phone. The firm delivers from a warehouse in Greendale.
The business model is somewhat similar to that of laundromats, but is being used to sell a product rather than a service. One decades-long observer of the mattress industry said he'd never heard of anything like it.
Running the business is Weston Huth, a nephew of Penny Mustard owners Arvid and Ben Huth. The three men are co-owners of Hassless Mattress.
The stores are at 7740 W. Layton Ave., Greenfield; 18110 W Blue Mound Road, Town of Brookfield; 11018 N Port Washington Road, Mequon; and W188-N10707 Maple Road, Germantown.
Mequon named top K-12 district in state
Mequon — For the second consecutive year, the Mequon-Thiensville School District has been named the top K-12 school district in the state by the state's Department of Public Instruction.
The DPI released report cards this week for all Wisconsin public schools and school districts for the 2013-14 school year. Mequon-Thiensville ranked as the top K-12 school district in the state of Wisconsin with an overall accountability score of 86.1. This is the second consecutive year Mequon-Thiensville has received this recognition.
"I want to thank our students, teachers and parents for their continued commitment to our district's success," said Mequon-Thiensville Superintendent Demond Means. "The report cards reinforce the educational excellence that we model each and every day at all six of our schools."
All six of MTSD's schools scored 83 or higher on the DPI issued school report cards, meaning they all "Significantly Exceed Expectations."
Mequon-Thiensville, Fox Point-Bayside and Whitefish Bay all reached the DPI's top standard: "significantly exceeds expectations." Nicolet, Glendale-River Hills, Maple Dale-Indian Hills and Shorewood all reached the next tier: "exceeds expectations." Brown Deer "meets expectations," according to the DPI.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer trustees approve Lighthouse project
Brown Deer — A hotly contested assisted living center has been approved by Brown Deer trustees, with the expectation that the village will also buy the company's existing building and loan $2 million to the new project.
Minnesota-based New Perspective Senior Living received approval Monday, Sept. 15, to build a four-story assisted living center on 60th Street, north of Brown Deer Road. The 119-unit, 133-bed facility, called Lighthouse of Brown Deer, will feature about 46 memory care units and 87 assisted living units.
New Perspective would relocate from its 28-bed Lighthouse facility at 7909 N. 47th St. to the Beaver Creek condominium site left uncompleted by developer General Capital in 2008. By relocating Lighthouse, village officials hope single-family housing will be developed near Bradley Road and 47th Street, including the current Lighthouse site, the former Algonquin School site and potentially the deteriorating strip mall containing Salvation Army at 4747 W. Bradley Road.
The Village Board also agreed to purchase of the existing Lighthouse building on 47th Street for $1.35 million with a closing date at the end of November. Lighthouse has agreed to lease the 47th Street property from the village for $4,500 per month until its new site at Beaver Creek is complete.

Preps football photos of the week: Sept. 12
The football season continued in Week 4 with colder-than-normal weather and spotty precipitation Sept. 12.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 4.
Banks delivers big run as Greenfield rallies
Depth and heart won out for the Greenfield football team on a cold and soggy night in Shorewood, as the Hustlin' Hawks football team overcame a 12-0 deficit on the strength of big defensive stops and an electrifying 95-yard fourth quarter TD run by Ezekial Banks to pull out a 20-12 victory over the host Greyhounds.
"We saw some of this two weeks ago when we fell behind 14-0 to Pius (only to pull out a 20-14 victory)," said Greenfield coach Joe Koch. "We're a two-platoon team. We're not as or as fast or as strong as other teams, but we do have big hearts.
"The kids knew that they could come back, and they didn't quit."
The win was the third in a row for the Hustlin' Hawks as they improved to 3-1 while Messmer/Shorewood (Messwood), fresh off its first Woodland win in many years last week against Whitnall, fell to 1-3.
Greyhounds' coach Drake Zortman said his team just ran out of gas.» Read Full Article
Four-story assisted living center moves forward in Brown Deer
Brown Deer — Despite a contentious public hearing on Monday, Sept. 8, plans for a four-story assisted living facility are moving forward in Brown Deer.
New Perspective Senior Living is proposing to build a 164,470-square-foot building featuring a four-story assisted living facility and an attached one-story memory care facility behind the Beaver Creek Condominiums on the west side of 60th Street, north of Brown Deer Road. The 119-unit, 133-bed Lighthouse of Brown Deer facility will feature about 46 memory care units and 87 assisted living units.
Brown Deer plans to offer $2 million in tax incremental financing to the developers: $500,000 at the time of occupancy and another $140,000 annually for the next 10 years. The developer has guaranteed the building would be valued at $14.8 million, creating an additional $12.5 million in value. Community Development Director Nate Piotrowski expects the increased tax revenue from the project would pay off the village's $2 million loan by 2024.
The Community Development Authority unanimously approved the village's financing plan. The Plan Commission approved rezoning the land, as well as the project's site plan, in a 5-2 vote. The developers will seek final approval from the village board on Sept. 15.

Preps football photos of the week: Sept. 5
The football season calendar rolled along to September, and some teams faced off against familiar opponents on Sept. 5.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 3.
Germantown football team rallies to beat Bay
After two easy routs to open the season, the Germantown football team found itself in a stunning 14-0 hole in the first quarter against visiting North Shore rival Whitefish Bay Friday night.
Warhawks coach Jake Davis wondered if his team had the heart to come back.
The answer was an emphatic yes. Behind dynamic third-year quarterback Dwayne Lawhorn, Jr. and a big play defense, the Warhawks rallied for a 38-28 victory to improve to 3-0 on the season.
"There's something to be said about getting into a dogfight right away (in the league race)," said Germantown coach Jake Davis. "I wanted to see how they'd respond. If we folded, that would have told me one thing, but we didn't, and that told me another.
"We have a lot of things to clean up, penalties (two of which wiped out touchdowns), turnovers (both of which the Blue Dukes turned into TDs), other things and that'll give us something to focus on."» Read Full Article
Despite another Herculean effort from Brown Deer's Baun, Rockets win thriller
In a battle of two offenses that entered their Sept. 5 contest averaging more than 40 points per game, the balance of South Milwaukee prevailed over Brown Deer and their stellar quarterback Zack Baun.
But just barely.
South Milwaukee running back Ian Pribyl rushed for 177 yards and three touchdowns, and senior quarterback Justin Oliden passed for three more as the Rockets withstood a last-gasp drive from Baun and the Falcons to prevail in a Woodland East thriller, 41-35. A 36-yard scramble from Baun gave Brown Deer the ball at the South Milwaukee 32 with one second remaining, but his final heave was batted down to preserve the victory for the Rockets.
"They have a great player, and some other really good players, but we have a team," said South Milwaukee head coach Derek Hoff.
The win puts the Rockets (3-0, 1-0) in early control of the Woodland Conference Eastern Division, which they won last year, while Brown Deer fell to 2-1, 0-1. The Falcons will look to bounce back when they visit Cudahy (1-2,0-1) at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12.» Read Full Article

Police say the dad saw a series of text that were inappropriate for a teacher and a student to be sharing. The teacher then actually came to the parents home wanting to speak to the girl's father but was told to leave. When he refused, the dad whacked him with a baseball bat. The teacher sustained minor injuries. The best part of this story is that the dad will NOT be charged with anything.
Would you do the same in the father's position, or would it have been worse?

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.
The positive test comes during the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the first case of Ebola that's been diagnosed in the United States.
This person who is infected left Liberia on Sept. 19 and arrived in the U.S. the following day with no symptoms. They began showing symptoms four days after arriving in the U.S.
"The bottom line here is that I have no doubt that we will control this importation, or this case of Ebola, so that it does not spread widely in this country," he said. "It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual could develop Ebola in the coming weeks. But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) â€" Researchers from the National Cancer Institute want to know how many past and present cancer cases in New Mexico may be related to the U.S. government's test of the world's first atomic bomb over a remote stretch of desert nearly 70 years ago. The team is particularly interested in filling in gaps when it comes to Native American and Hispanic populations and any links to fallout radiation exposure and food and water contamination. Dr. Steven Simon, the project's lead investigator, said Monday that the information about diet and lifestyle will help his team more accurately project radiation doses from the fallout. For the first time, researchers are taking a closer look, and that's a step in the right direction, said Tina Cordova, an Albuquerque businesswoman who was born and raised in Tularosa and spearheads the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium.

Hey everyone--
I just "rejoined" APA (became active again) last week when I found out out I had BFP!!! Beta was 64 last Wedesday at 4 weeks 2 days. I was excited....but yesterday I had bright red bleeding. I went in for another blood test and beta hcg was only at 97.
I had two miscarriages before my daughter---and have since been using progesterone with each new pregnancy (including this one).....but, the beta numbers pretty much say it all.
I'm really sad about it.... I have to go in for an ultrasound on Monday to make sure, but I'm positive it's not good. I hate this feeling like you're in limbo.
Over the last few years after my son was born, I've lost 100 lbs and feel like I'm at the healthiest I've ever been---and yet here we are again with a miscarriage.
I guess I was just hoping to hear from some other gals who've had early miscarriages, too. Not bleeding right now, but--they told me to keep using my progesterone until we have the ultrasound.
Blessings and healthy babies to all!!!


text: Tokyo Information When you visit Tokyo Destination Routes Etihad Offices Facts The City Do & See Dining Essential Information Previously a relatively hidden destination, Tokyo's technological leaps and passion for everything new has made the rest of the world sit up and take notice. A city of smaller cities, Tokyo's neighbourhoods are individual and unique in what each can offer, from cultural sights to vast shopping malls. Get ready for a whirlwind of modernity and tradition - this is Tokyo! Facts Population App. 12 700 000 Currency Japanese Yen, 1 ¥ = 100 sen Opening hours Banks 9am-3pm Mon-Fri, major banks/branches are closed also on Sat. and Sun. Closed national holidays. Shops are generally open 10am-8pm Mon-Sun. Newspapers Japan Times, Yomiuri Daily Asahi/International Herald Tribune Tokyo Journal Metropolis magazine Tourist information Tokyo TIC Akihabara Tourist Information Center 4-1-1 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo +81 3 3253 1164 Open daily from 11am-6pm JR EAST Travel Service Center (Tokyo Station) 1-9-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo Open daily from 7.30am-8.30pm Before you set your foot outside the hotel door, be aware of Tokyo's complicated address system. Very few streets have names and instead are identified by numbers indicating building, block and area. 1-11-18, Shibuya, Shibuya-ku would therefore translate as the 18th building of the 11th block of the 1st area of Shibuya in Shibuya ward. Invest in a bilingual map of Tokyo and don't hesitate to ask police for directions, as even the locals can get confused. Once you have grasped the navigation system, Tokyo is a delight to get around. The metro is super efficient, the city is clean and people are courteous and friendly. Though addresses may be confusing, Tokyo is divided neatly into 23 wards, each with a certain distinctive characteristic. Visit Asakusa for old-town charm and temples, Ginza for shopping, Mecca and Akihabara for electronics galore. Blend old and new to get a taste of Tokyo's great diversity. Variety is Tokyo's key. Few other world cities are as wonderfully idiosyncratic. International and local influences intertwine in cuisine, festivals, music, galleries, shopping and even accommodation. Bizarre and fast-moving, yet peaceful and intrinsically religious, Tokyo's identity is above all, distinctly Japanese, despite existing as a world of its own. Whether you're a techno buff or want to take in some more traditional Japanese sights and sounds, this city can offer it all. Visit splendid Shinto shrines or indulge in some shopping on Tokyo's equivalent of Fifth Avenue. Here are the highlights: Meiji-jingu This nationally recognised Shinto shrine is considered one of Japan's primary symbols of the country's major religion. Take in the huge 11 metre cypress tree torii (gate) before wandering peacefully along winding paths to the wonderful inner buildings.

Address: Tokyo Bay, 3-33 Kaigan, Minato, Tokyo Boasting more than 300.000 restaurants, cafés and food stalls, the only problem when going for dinner in Tokyo, is too much choice.

Commitment for mobility and travel
Mobility and travel play an important role in Germany: The Germans love travelling. And Germany itself is becoming increasingly popular as a travel destination for guests from Germany and abroad. Additionally, there are about 150 million business travels registered each year in Germany. People want to be mobile, they want to travel, meet friends and business partners, make new acquaintances and learn about different cultures. Precisely this is the aim of the Federal Association of the German Tourism Industry (BTW) and its members. About 40 of the largest enterprises and federations of the tourism industry in Germany are members of BTW. The spectrum covers air, road and rail traffic, hotel and catering services and tourism marketing. It covers private tourism and private mobility as well as the business travel sector.
Since its establishment in 1995, the BTW is committed to represent the common and overall interests and needs of the tourism industry. The ultimate goal is to maintain and to optimize mobility. Fiscal and labor policy, competition, the implementation of climate protection and infrastructure play important roles. At present about 2.9 million people work in the German tourism industry.
The BTW focuses especially on the following requirements for its political activities:
