Why have I not seen River's Edge? It looks and sounds like something I would dig. So thanks for the recommendation! And I love all your little illustrations on the Twin Peaks page.

I am addicted to nostalgia! I watch movies and series again to create the feeling I got when I first watched it! I love series from the 90s and the way people dressed and the life back then, it seemed more free and individual. I love love love the original movie of The Stepford Wives! I checked out Rookie magazine, and, although I'm not in school anymore it totally resonated with me. Very inspiring, and I think it will really help people!
If you ever get the time (and it's ok if you don't, cause I can tell you are very busy with the mag and school) I'd love for you to check my blogs out sometime. I'm just starting out, and you are a big inspiration. you are totally the kind of girl I wish I had known in school!

When I said Stepford wives, I meant the original movie you have the poster for in the post. The new one ruins the point with a happy ending. The original movie is amazing!

- So much of your writing and drawing! Thank you, Tavi <3
- But it's not just the visual aspect of the writing and drawing that I love here. I'm also really impressed by the content. I think it's great how you've set out your points of inspiration. I should do a lot more of this, because I think that by doing it, not only are you left with a reference, but I also think you kind of create building blocks in your brain that you can move around and add to at any point in the future.
- suburbs/small town/industrial town <3:-)
- That quote you have for Twin Peaks, I wonder if it was being referenced in Mean Girls, where it's suggested that someone's hair is full of secrets? :-)
- The screencap of the girl leaning over the basin reminded me of Jan Svankmajer's version of "Alice". Please have a look if you haven't already.

hey i don't know why i never thought of this but i just wanted to mention this series of chick lit i used to read when i was in early hs/maybe late middle school. it's the jessica darling series by megan mccafferty and i really urge you to check it out; i think you'd really enjoy it, it's so appropriate for rookie mag, too...basically the protagonist is this girl who doesn't really fit into the crowd cause she's really bright and not mainstream, etc, etc, etc. well there's a love interest who's totally dreamy as well, it follows her from hs to college and i think beyond... either way the first 3 books were fantastic ... here's a url:
p.s. ah and if it helps boost my legitimacy any, in case you're wary of taking this absurd lit suggestion, i now read mostly classics/modern classics :P - September 26, 2011 11:02 AM

These are definitely the most perfect fall vibes ever! Ugh, so on point with what I've been feeling for fall!
Also, rookie is AMAZING. All caps is necessary. It's perfection. - September 26, 2011 5:01 PM
- damali said...
i definitely think it's worth watching both Stepford movies...the first is closer to the book with overall creepiness but the second one is more of a comedy and laughs at itself, which is nice.

Your NPR interview was really interesting to listen to. It's awesome to hear audio or see videos of my favorite bloggers because I piece together an image of you in my mind based on your posts, but to add a voice to it is really cool. Congrats, you're doing so many awesome things.
Also I love how much you get into your vibes and themes for dressing. That to me is the inspirational part. - September 26, 2011 5:38 PM

Hi Tavi , my name's is maria . I follow your blog for one year now , and I never though about posting a comment . So , let's comment ...
You're a teenager like me , I'm 17 , and you love fashion . When I saw you few years ago in a magazine , I was like :" okay , she's 13 , and everybody loves her ? Don't understand !! " I didn't like your grey hair , I didn't found you appealing like all people used to say ... But I went to your blog , because i'm curious , and I started to read all your post ... without a mistake , and you were writing like a mature women . I was .. shocked , yes , shocked . I never though I'll find such a lovely girl , behind all these clothes ... And I really love your personality . You're so cute , now I understand why people find you so appealing :) But I didn't follow you so much these last month ... You know , school , homework ... And I returned on your blog like ... 2 weeks ago ! i saw you're redhead , like me , I did my redhead hair like one month ago ! Haha , I really love red hair ( you're know , not ginger , but beautiful red , without being so red ... hard to explain ) I have the same color as you I think . And I saw you have a TUMBLR yay !!! I have a few friends who have a TUMBLR , but not most of it , and you have one , that's so funny ! I really love TUMBLR , it's like another world .... ( I'm sure you understand what I'm meaning ) . So . Sorry to tell you all my life ; And then , I love your personality , you're such a cute person , you have your own style , and I love it . I like to have clothes that nobody wear , but , you know , it's hard ... I love going to vintage stores , to look on internet ... But finally , I look normally . I hate being like the others , to look like the others , I'm feeling so uncomfortable , but sometimes , you have no choice ....
So , I'll stop here , because I talked too much , sorry for that . I hope you'll have a great day :) And I don't know if you're going to read my ( long ) message , but I hope you will ! So ... bye-bye tavi ! - October 03, 2011 9:53 AM

Categories: The News Date: Aug 21, 2012 Title: Overdue NotificationHow does it work?
Three possible notices are sent when an item is overdue. If we have your email address, you will receive a notice when your items are one week passed due. If we only have your physical mailing address, you will receive a notice when your items are 4 weeks passed due. In both cases, fines will accrue at $.10 per day, per item. When an item is 6 weeks passed due, it is assumed lost and we send a notice to your physical address with the cost for replacing the item. Occasionally, we will phone about an overdue item that has many holds (requests for) by other patrons. However, do not expect a regular phone call about overdue items.
You can greatly reduce your overdue fines by having an active email address on file, and this also saves us postage fees. Of course, the most cost effective method is to return your items before or on the due date.

Revision as of 09:41, 11 September 2008
Welcome to the home page of Paul O. Lewis. I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut. Although much of my professional training was in the area of flowering plant systematics, specifically the evolution and biogeography of the North American genus Polygonella (P. gracilis is shown at left), my research now focuses primarily on phylogenetic theory and methodology. Please visit the research section below to learn more about the ongoing research in my lab.
Contents |
Paul's office and lab is located on the first floor of the Torrey Life Science Building on the Storrs campus of the University of Connecticut. Our mailing address is
Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 75 North Eagleville Road, Unit 3043, Storrs, CT 06269-3043 U.S.A.
Current Lab Members
Paul O. Lewis is an Associate Professor in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department. He obtained his B.S. in Biology and Mathematics from Georgetown College in 1982, M.S. in Biology from Memphis State University in 1984, and Ph.D. in Plant Biology from Ohio State University in 1991. He was a postdoc at North Carolina State University with Bruce Weir, and at the Laboratory of Molecular Systematics, Smithsonian Institution, with David Swofford (now at Duke University). Paul came to UConn after 3 years as an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at the University of New Mexico. Office: TLS 166A Voice: (860) 486-2069 Fax: (860) 486-6364 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Past Lab Members
Mark T. Holder was a postdoctoral research associate in the lab for 2 years. Mark received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas, Austin, in 2001, and moved on to a postdoctoral position with David Swofford at Florida State University in 2003 and is currently an Assistant Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas. Kris (also Ph.D. 2001 from Univ. of Texas, Austin) and Julia (b. 2001) are also pictured. Not pictured is the latest arrival, Susan (b. Nov. 13, 2004). For Mark's current contact information, see http://people.ku.edu/~mtholder/Research
Below is a brief description of several recent projects to give you a sense of the kinds of research questions I address. The biggest emphasis currently is on Bayesian phylogenetic inference. This field is perhaps not in its infancy anymore, but it certainly has not yet achieved adulthood, and there are many important problems still needing work, especially in areas such as model comparison, mixing, and convergence diagnostics. A list of published and in-press papers follows the project descriptions.

If sequence data are simulated using a 4-taxon star tree (such as the one shown on the right) and evaluated with standard software tools for Bayesian phylogenetic inference, one of the 3 possible fully-resolved trees is often supported very strongly. This is paradoxical in that most people expect the three possible resolutions to be equally supported in this case, but such an outcome is only seen when the sequence length is tiny (e.g. 1 site). It appears that uncertainty in this case is manifested in the inability to predict, from dataset to dataset, which of the 3 possible fully-resolved tree topologies will be favored. This behavior is troubling, and possible examples of this behavior have been pointed out by several researchers. Many more potential examples can be found in the literature by looking for high posterior probabilities but low bootstrap support, combined with tiny internal edges.We argue that the central problem here is the non-identifiability of the tree topology, and propose a solution using reversible-jump MCMC. Our rjMCMC sampler visits not only fully-resolved tree topologies, but can visit topologies containing hard polytomies as well. This effectively places a point mass prior probability on polytomies, providing an alternative in situations in which a fully-resolved topology is not a reasonable option. The analysis can be made as conservative as desired by modifying the prior distribution assumed for topologies, but in our (albeit limited) experience it does not appear easy to destroy support for real edges by using a prior that strongly supports polytomous topologies.

Phylodiversity in Desert Green Algae (the other land plants)
A major thrust in the laboratory of Louise Lewis is diversity and systematics of green algae (Phylum Chlorophyta) living in the soils of North American deserts. These unicellular green algae are capable of tolerating the harsh conditions posed by desert soil environments, and represent an important (yet not well understood) component of desert microbiotic crust communities. The 18S rDNA sequences of a number of green algal isolates have been determined, and these data suggest that several lineages of green algae have diversified within deserts. One might be tempted to think that the green algal cells isolated from desert soils are simply the result of spores dispersed into deserts from distant aquatic sources. This study shows that the 18S sequences of these desert isolates are more divergent from their nearest aquatic relatives than would be predicted if they were merely incidental visitors. We characterize the molecular phylodiversity of desert green algae and demonstrate with a Bayesian analysis of 150 green algal 18S sequences that all freshwater classes of green algae have yielded desert lineages. The numerous transitions from desert to aquatic existence apparent from the phylogeny argue that it is no longer accurate to portray land plants as resulting from a single origin. The highly celebrated origin leading to the embryophytes is but one of many transitions to terrestriality.

Attention Europeans8/9/2008 7:21amThe portfolio is everything the article says. I am very pleased with mine, except for one thing. I live in Denmark, and the Danish standart paper size, A4, isn't the same as the American. I have to cut the top off every piece of paper to fit them into my portfolio. So if you're not from the USA, be aware that the sheet music you print out might not fit the portfolio.
Digital Sheet Music Portfolio8/30/2008 2:29pmI like the actual portfolio but the page inserts need to be "non-glare" instead of the slick clear finish. If you are using a piano lamp the entire sheet reflects the light and it is almost impossible to see the music. I have replaced the pages with non-glare inserts from Office Depot which eliminates the glare but the pages do not turn as well. |

I am 100% a fan of music, and specifically metal, that goes into some very weird and crazy places. Mike Patton rates at the top of my musical food chain with all the weirdness that he consistently has brought to his various projects. While I love a lot of mainstream stuff, there's always a soft spot in
… Read More Shrapnel
For the last five to ten years, I have been championing the return of thrash metal by a series of new bands. Some have made it and built pretty solid careers (Havok, Municipal Waste), and others have come and gone (what happened to Lazarus AD). That said though, there's be no shortage of bands in the last decade that
… Read More Adrenaline Mob
Being completely honest, the debut Adrenaline Mob release OMERTA didn't do a lot for me. This is surprising actually, as vocalist Russell Allen is one of those guys that I always look forward to hearing from, regardless of the project he's doing at the time. Still, OMERTA was one of those supergroup releases that just didn't have a
… Read More Ron Keel
There's something very unique about Ron Keel that I think has escaped most of his peers that were spawn from the 80s hair metal scene. For most, they have been content to stick to the formula that made them famous, only take an experimental shot once the mainstream popularity had run it's course, and then returned to their classic
… Read More Hatriot
Steve "Zetro" Souza is clearly a godfather of all that is thrash metal. While he wasn't the original vocalist of Exodus, he was by far the most recognized. He's definitely a "love him or hate him" type of guy, both with the sound of his voice and with some of his actions in the later days that
… Read More Ektomorf
Since I first discovered Ektomorf back in 2004 on their DESTROY release, they have been one that, while I never sat around waiting for a release, I've always loved when they had something new out there. As heavy music goes, they are the perfect combination of what I like. They are kind of like the lovechild of Sepultura, Soulfly and Machine
… Read More House Of Lords
As melodic hard rock goes, James Christian has not only kept the band House Of Lords alive, but he's kept it relevant and smart throughout their career. While he was not the original voice of the band, he's been "the guy" on every release and has proven always seems to have some good ideas to keep the band
… Read More Scorpions
After listening to this every day for about a month, it's finally come time to write something about this latest effort from Scorpions. As a giant fan of the band, I firmly wanted to like this release, but after at last 20 listens, it's just not clicking with me. There's just something about it that feels wrong. The arrangements are
… Read More Earth Crisis
I know that I have a pretty distinct label on me of what most people think I like to listen to. I believe that most people think that I'm a classic metal fan whose musical taste basically goes from 80s hair metal bands to Bay Area Thrash. I can't lie - I do love that style a ton...probably the
… Read More Blowsight
Sometimes you hear a band, you can define their intention from the second you hear them. For some, you know they are looking to make as large a statement against anything mainstream as they can. For others, you can just sense the desire for radio airplay and mainstream success. With Blowsight, there's very little doubt that this band is
… Read More Battle Beast
With the overabundance of traditional and power metal bands out there, it's not surprising how many of them just sound the same. Without question, Finland's Battle Beast takes their influences from the classic tones of power metal. Unfortunately for them though, they take a bit too much influence without incorporating much of their own style into it. After multiple
… Read More Red Dragon Cartel
Jake E. Lee - where have you been for the past two decades? Calling it the way it is, Jake E. Lee was one of the most recognizable sounds in hard rock/heavy metal for about five or six years. His work with Ozzy Osbourne on BARK AT THE MOON and THE ULTIMATE SIN were signatures to the Prince
… Read MoreHavok
The single hardest working new thrash band in the world has returned with a quick four song EP that is designed to do one thing and one thing only - give them a reason to stay on tour! Mission Accomplished.
Since this is a four song EP, there's not a ton to write about. POINT OF NO RETURN featured two new songs and two covers. Starting with the new material, this stuff has to be material that didn't make TIME IS UP. I have no idea why.
These two songs, "Point Of No Return" and "Cradle To The Grave" flat out smoke. "Point Of No Return" is a brilliant song; arguably the best the band has put forth to date. Lead guitarist Reece Scruggs and rhythm player (and lead vocalist) David "Dirty" Sanchez absolutely destroy on this song. They are equally vicious on "Cradle To The Grave", although the bass line provided by Jesse De Los Santos drives that tune. Vocally, Sanchez has developed into more of a Mark Osegueda (Death Angel) clone. His vocals through this and TIME IS UP remind me a lot of Death Angel's last two or three releases where there's been more screaming and less clean singing.
As for the covers, you have to give Havok a lot of credit. It takes balls the size of overgrown watermelons to take on classics by Sepultura and Slayer. Especially with Slayer, you could really hurt your career if you do a bad job. Not to worry though, Havok drives it home here. While their cover of Sepultura's "Arise" starts out a bit flat (translation, less dynamic than the original), they quickly find their way and do justice to the signature song from Brazil's best export. As for the Slayer cover, they more than adequately thrash hard and fast through a blistering cover of "Postmortem/Raining Blood". Yep...they went after Slayer's biggest "hit" and absolutely nail it.
PITRIFF RATING - 94/100 - There's no one more happy than me that old school, Bay Area sounding Thrash has a whole new collection of bands carrying the torch. There's a lot of great bands out there now making this kind of music - Lazarus AD, Warbringer, Municipal Waste...and of course Havok. Of the new age Big 4, I'd put Havok as the headliner. This EP just makes me long for another new release. Killer, killer stuff!

Using office cubicles, you can design an ideal area that emphasizes efficiency without sacrificing the need for personal space. Wall partitions can create a perfect office environment in a cost-effective, attractive way.
There is a reason that so many offices utilize cubicles. Unlike permanent walls, portable partitions can be moved around easily. They provide all of the privacy and personal space that walls offer with the added advantage of easy rearranging. Rather than having to undertake costly construction projects that can render a workspace unusable for months, everything can be moved into a new configuration in less than a day. In fact, if you start to rearrange office partitions after employees leave for the night, you can probably have everything ready before they come back to work in the morning.
The great thing about purchasing a number of individual panels and arranging them yourself is that you have total control over the configuration. Whether you like the traditional cubicle design or you prefer more open workspaces, you can set up office partitions to your liking. They are so simple to move that you can even decide one thing when you first move in and try something else a little while later to see which works better.
One thing is for sure: any company with a large open space in the middle of a room should consider how to divide it in order to create a functional space. It doesn't necessarily have to be split into personalized offices, especially since modern trends are moving away from small enclosed spaces in the workplace. However, some small collaboration spaces, like mini conference rooms, can be extremely helpful. Rather than having to squeeze chairs around one desk and invade someone's personal workspace, everyone can meet around a small conference table and get the creative juices flowing. With partition walls separating the space, distractions will be minimized.
There are still many companies that are using the cubicle model to create private workspaces. To make arranging such a space easier, the Hertz Design Center has free project-planning services. For a corporation that wants to configure a large space with office cubicles, the Hertz Design Center can create a plan and identify how many wall partitions are needed and what their exact sizes should be.
The classic models for office cubicles are "H" and "C" configurations. Each has its advantages, but there are many other options as well. Straight rows can be arranged using t-base pieces. Because portable partitions com in lots of sizes, they can be used virtually anywhere. Getting them arranged is as easy as simply snapping connectors on to the top and bottom of one panel and sliding the adjacent partition into place.
Once the wall partitions are in place, it's time to get decorating. Hanging shelves can be added right onto the temporary walls to maximize space above a desk. An artwork hanger facilitates a more inviting space where executives will be happy to work every day. It's important to add personal touches to the office so hard-working professionals feel good about coming in to their offices.
Get your office arranged and ready for productivity with office cubicles and wall partitions. With a few well-placed office partitions, one can create a whole new space. For perfectly-sized office workstations and small meeting areas, there is nothing better than some sleek portable partitions.

We'll always remember China's largest city for the kindness shown to us by a woman who lives in one of the city's smallest rooms.
Hong Kong and Macao are special administrative regions of China. If you are contemplating travel to these regions, consult the Travel Advice for Hong Kong and Macao.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Sporadic violent clashes occur in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Attacks using explosive devices, firearms and knives have taken place, often resulting in deaths and injuries. Unrest and sporadic acts of violence are expected to continue. The presence of armed police is visible, and local authorities continue to monitor the situation very closely. Curfews and restrictions may be imposed on short notice. Attacks do not specifically target tourists or foreigners, but the danger of being in the wrong place at the wrong time is always present. Avoid gatherings and demonstrations, and follow the instructions of local authorities.
Petty crime, such as pickpocketing, purse snatching, and theft of mobile phones and laptop computers, is prevalent, even during the day. Foreigners are targeted, especially in major cities and tourist areas. Be vigilant in all crowded locations, including tourist sites, trade fairs, restaurants, coffee shops, Internet cafés, markets and department stores. Do not carry large sums of money. Secure valuables, with the exception of passports, in hotel safe-deposit facilities. Violent crime is relatively rare, although foreigners have been attacked and robbed.
Petty crime and sexual harassment occur on buses and overnight trains. Ensure that the train compartment contains packages belonging only to you and other occupants. Store personal belongings in a safe place and do not leave the compartment unattended. Doors should be securely locked.
Cases of extortion by taxi, motorcycle and pedicab drivers have increased. Foreigners have also been approached by strangers and invited to a nearby establishment for a drink (usually tea or alcohol). They were then presented with an exorbitant bill (sometimes hundreds of dollars) and forced to pay under threat of injury. In some cases, the person was harmed. Be cautious of unsolicited requests from strangers to "practice English" or to accompany them to an "art gallery" or unknown location.
There is a risk of armed bandit attacks in remote parts of China. Police presence is poor in areas bordering Burma, Laos, Pakistan, Russia and Vietnam.
Demonstrations are illegal and should be avoided. Participants may be subject to severe legal action.
Poor driving standards and poor road conditions outside major cities make travelling hazardous. Travelling after dark outside major cities is not recommended.
China has an extensive system of passenger trains. Most trains are slow, although there are express trains on the well-travelled routes. Taxis are plentiful in major cities and can be obtained at hotels or taxi stands. Most taxi drivers do not speak English or French, so you should arrange for a Chinese-speaking person to write out your destination in detail on a card before you go. Rental cars are available only in the largest cities, generally with a driver.
Ferry accidents have occurred in China due to overcrowding. Exercise caution and common sense when using marine transportation and do not board ferries that are overloaded.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Pirate attacks occur in coastal waters and, in some cases, farther out at sea. Mariners should take appropriate precautions. For additional information, consult the Live Piracy Report published by the International Maritime Bureau.
If you intend to trek:
a) never trek alone;
b) always hire an experienced guide and ensure that the trekking company is reputable;
c) buy travel health insurance that includes helicopter rescue and medical evacuation;
d) ensure that you are in top physical condition;
e) advise a family member or friend of your itinerary;
f) know the symptoms of acute altitude sickness, which can be fatal;
g) register with a Canadian government office in China; and
h) obtain detailed information on trekking routes before setting out.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Chinese authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the People's Republic of China or its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit China, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the date on which they applied for their visa. Before you leave, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Canadians must also be in possession of a visa, except in the cases listed below.
Tourist visa: Required (see exceptions)
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Working visa: Required
You do not need a tourist visa if you are:
a) on a continuing international flight;
b) hold tickets on connecting flights or if you remain at the airport for less than 24 hours; (If you wish to leave the airport while awaiting transit, you must request a stopover permit from the Chinese border authorities at the airport.)
c) visiting Beijing for up to 72 hours while in transit, between two pre-purchased international flights, via the Beijing Capital International Airport;
d) visiting Shanghai for up to 72 hours while in transit, between two pre-purchased international flights, via the Pudong or Hongqiao international airports;

g) visiting Chongqing for up to 72 hours while in transit, between two pre-purchased international flights, via the Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport;
h) visiting Shenyang for up to 72 hours while in transit, between two pre-purchased international flights, via the Shenyang Taoxian International Airport;
i) visiting Dalian for up to 72 hours while in transit, between two pre-purchased international flights, via the Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport;
j) visiting Hainan Province for up to 15 days with an organized tour group of five or more travellers led by an international travel agency approved by the State Administration of Tourism and registered in Hainan Province; or
k) visiting the Zhu Jiang Delta, also known as the Pearl River Delta, for up to six days with an organized tour group coming from Hong Kong or Macao and led by a travel agency registered in Hong Kong or Macao.
Contact the nearest Chinese diplomatic or consular office for more information.
If these exceptions do not apply to you, you must obtain a visa prior to arrival in China.
Visits to Hong Kong and Macao
If you plan to visit Hong Kong or Macao during a trip to mainland China, obtain a visa allowing multiple entries. For information about applying for visas for mainland China in Hong Kong, consult the website of China's Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong.
Visa issuance process
Thoroughly review all information available regarding the visa issuance process, consult the local visa issuing office and plan accordingly if you are travelling to or residing in China. Pay particular attention to the length of stay permitted after each entry on your Chinese visa. Overstaying can lead to fines and administrative detention for up to fifteen days.
All foreigners (tourists, visitors and long-term residents) must register their place of residence with the local Public Security Bureau within 24 hours of arrival. If you are in a hotel, registration is normally done as part of the check-in process; those staying with family or friends in a private home must register. Failure to do so can result in fines and/or detention. Canadians not staying in commercial accommodation are advised to carry proof of their registration in order to avoid problems.
Foreigners holding Z, X or J-1 visas must also apply for a Residence Permit within 30 days of entry, from the Exit and Entry Department of the local Public Security Bureau.
Obtaining a permit and taking part in an organized tour are required to travel to Tibet. Contact a reputable travel agency, either within or outside of China, for more information. Chinese authorities occasionally suspend issuing permits to foreigners. Where possible, make full payment for travel conditional upon a travel permit being secured, while noting that changes in the security situation in Tibet can affect travel, and related government policies, at any time.
Chinese authorities occasionally deny tourist entry to Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures in Sichuan and Qinghai. Contact a reputable travel agency before travelling to these regions.
Dual citizenship is not legally recognized in China, which may limit the ability of Canadian officials to provide consular services. If you are a Canadian of Chinese origin travelling to China, ensure that you are well informed about Chinese law and practices relating to determination and loss of Chinese citizenship, including cancelling a household register ("hukou"), applying to renounce Chinese citizenship, etc. Contact the nearest Chinese diplomatic or consular office for more details. Travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times. Canadian citizens using non-Canadian travel documents to enter mainland China have been and will be denied access to Canadian consular services by Chinese authorities. Consult our publication entitled Dual Citizenship: What You Need to Know for more information.
Canadian children born in China to at least one parent who is a Chinese citizen are Chinese citizens under China's Nationality Law. The child's Canadian citizenship may not recognized by Chinese authorities, and the family may be subject to family planning regulations.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. Please consult our Children page for more information.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread by contaminated food or water. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or through personal contact with unwashed hands. Get the flu shot.
Japanese encephalitis is a viral infection that can cause swelling of the brain. It is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Risk is low for most travellers. Vaccination should be considered for those who may be exposed to mosquito bites (e.g., spending time outdoors in rural areas) while travelling in regions with risk of Japanese encephalitis.
Measles occurs worldwide but is a common disease in developing countries, particularly in parts of Africa and Asia. Measles is a highly contagious disease. Be sure your vaccination against measles is up-to-date regardless of the travel destination.
There is a risk of polio in this country. Be sure that your vaccination against polio is up-to-date.
Rabies is a disease that attacks the central nervous system spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from a rabid animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral disease that can cause swelling of the brain. It is spread to humans by the bite of an infected tick. Vaccination should be considered for those who may be exposed to tick bites (e.g., those spending time outdoors in wooded areas) while travelling in regions with risk of tick-borne encephalitis.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives, or with weakened immune systems. Travellers visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should consider getting vaccinated.
Yellow fever is a disease caused by the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements. | |

Recommendation |
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in East Asia, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, leptospirosis, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in East Asia. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
There have been cases of cholera reported in this country in the last year. Cholera is a bacterial disease that typically causes diarrhea. In severe cases it can lead to dehydration and even death.
Most travellers are generally at low risk. Humanitarian workers and those visiting areas with limited access to safe food and water are at higher risk. Practise safe food and water precautions. Travellers at high risk should get vaccinated.
Schistosomiasis is caused by blood flukes (tiny worms) spread to humans through contaminated water. The eggs of the worms can cause stomach illnesses like diarrhea and cramps or urinary problems. Risk is generally low for most travellers. Avoid swimming in contaminated water. There is no vaccine available for schistosomiasis.
In some areas in Eastern Asia, certain insects carry and spread diseases like chikungunya, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, leishmaniasis, Lyme disease, malaria, and tick-borne encephalitis.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is a viral disease that typically causes fever, bleeding under the skin, and pain. Risk is generally low for most travellers. It is spread to humans though contact with infected animal blood or bodily fluids, or from a tick bite. Protect yourself from tick bites and avoid animals. There is no vaccine available for Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever.
Visceral leishmaniasis (or kala azar) affects the bone marrow and internal organs. It is caused by a parasite spread through the bite of a female sandfly. It can also be transmitted by blood transfusion or sharing contaminated needles. If left untreated it can cause death. Risk is generally low for most travellers. Protect yourself from sandfly bites, which typically occur after sunset in rural and forested areas and in some urban centres. There is no vaccine available for leishmaniasis.
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in some areas in Eastern Asia, like avian influenza and rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
There have been human cases of avian influenza ("bird flu") in this country. Avian influenza is a viral infection that can spread by contact with infected birds or surfaces and objects contaminated by their feces or other secretions.
Avoid unnecessary contact with domestic poultry and wild birds as well as surfaces contaminated with their feces or other secretions. Ensure all poultry dishes and eggs are thoroughly cooked.
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that mainly affects infants and children. Travellers are at increased risk if visiting or living in overcrowded conditions. There is no vaccine for this disease.
Hospitals that meet international standards and have English-speaking staff may be found in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and a few other major cities. Ask doctors and dentists to use sterilized equipment. To obtain a list of doctors and hospitals, contact a Canadian government office in China. Medical care in clinics offering Western-style care for foreigners is much more expensive and must be paid for on the spot.
Tibet, Qinghai, parts of Xinjiang and western Sichuan are situated at altitudes over 3,000 meters. Trekkers may experience acute mountain sickness at high altitudes and should be well informed about possible hazards in high mountains.
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and Detention page for more information.
Detention during the investigative period before charges are laid is common and can be lengthy.
Some defence lawyers may be reluctant to accept cases involving foreigners. Consult a Canadian government office in China if you experience such difficulty.
Penalties for possession, use, production or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict and include the death sentence.
Canadian business travellers have been detained and had their passports confiscated as a result of business disputes with their Chinese counterparts. Seek legal advice from professionals in China, as well as in Canada, before proceeding with business agreements or arrangements. Ensure that all documents are translated so that conditions, terms and limitations are understood. Disputes are often costly and prolonged. Consult the website of the Government of Canada for more information about Doing Business with China.
Canadian and international driving licences are not recognized in China. Foreigners must hold a foreigner residence permit and meet local requirements to obtain a Chinese driver's licence.
Travel near military installations is restricted.
Carefully consider the implications of driving in China. Foreigners driving in China face harsh penalties if they are involved in an accident. Police officers have the right to detain foreigners suspected of being responsible for road accidents until their case is closed, which can take years. It is not uncommon for foreigners to be blamed for accidents even though they are not at fault.
There are absolute prohibitions against arms, drugs, and plant or animal products considered infested with disease or pests. There are also restrictions on the entry of printed matter, film, photos, videotapes and CDs considered detrimental to the interests of China.
Canadians who intend to reside in China are advised that only one pet (dog or cat) per person can be imported. A Canadian animal health inspection certificate and vaccination certificate should be stamped by your local office of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Animals without the proper documentation will be held in quarantine at the port of arrival and could be destroyed if the proper documentation is not provided.
There are restrictions on certain religious activities, such as preaching, distributing literature and associating with unapproved religious groups, including some Christian, Buddhist and Muslim organizations. The Falun Gong movement has been banned in China. Participants in Falun Gong activities or Falun Gong-related demonstrations are subject to legal action that may include detention, deportation, arrest and imprisonment.
Photography of military installations or government buildings may result in a penalty. Seek permission from local authorities before taking photographs.
There are many opportunities for teaching English in China. However, make sure you are well informed before signing a contract. Ensure that the contract specifies the maximum number of classroom hours per day and per week, maximum work days per week, and vacation periods. Canadians teaching in China, particularly at newly established private secondary schools and private English training centres, have often found their employers unable or unwilling to honour contract terms or to assist in obtaining Chinese employment visas and other permits required for foreigners to teach lawfully in China. If you are travelling to China to work or study, you may be required to possess medical insurance (coverage of 400,000 renminbi). Verify this stipulation with the school or employer prior to arriving in China. It is illegal to work on a tourist (L) visa.
The currency is the renminbi (RMB). The basic unit of currency is the yuan. Counterfeit renminbi are relatively common, especially in southern China. It is illegal to use foreign currency. Exchange foreign currency at officially approved facilities only. Traveller's cheques can be exchanged at most hotels. Generally only international hotels and some larger shops accept international credit cards. Some Chinese banks will provide cash advances using credit card accounts, but they may charge for the service. It is possible to use bank cards to draw on your Canadian bank account at an increasing number of automated banking machines, especially in urban areas.
China is located in an active seismic zone.
The rainy (or monsoon) season extends from April to October. Severe rainstorms can cause flooding and landslides, resulting in significant loss of life and extensive damage to infrastructure, and hampering the provision of essential services. Flooding is common in central, western and southern China, particularly areas bordering the Yangtze River. The Karakoram and Khunjerab Pass routes can be hazardous due to landslides.
Typhoons are common along the southern and eastern coasts. Keep informed of regional weather forecasts, avoid disaster areas and follow the advice of local authorities. Consult our Typhoons and monsoons page for more information.
Air pollution is severe, especially in heavily industrialized areas. Monitor air pollution levels as they change quickly.

Snakes are unpredictable creatures, which is why you should never approach them in the wild or depend on them to babysit your pet mongoose. Have a brush with the animal kingdom with this GrouponLive deal.
The Deal
- $15 for a single-day pass to Repticon for two adults and two children (up to a $30 value)
- When: Saturday, May 25 or Sunday, May 26 at 10 a.m.
- Where: Timonium Fairgrounds
- Ticket values include all fees.
Snakes slither in glass display cases, and lizards wriggle in the hands of trained handlers as they're held up in full view of a curious crowd. This is the scene as one of Repticon's presenters educates attendees on the biology, behavior, and typing speeds of exotic cold-blooded creatures at one of the year-round shows held in cities across the country. Reptile and amphibian breeders, scholars, and handlers engage audiences in lectures and demonstrations in the midst of live reptile exhibits, family activities, and displays for exotic-pet supplies. Presentations may focus on the genetics of large snake species, the specifics of exotic-pet care, and the effect that tiny hats have on the image of arachnids such as tarantulas, scorpions, and spiders.
