Guardrails Best Practices for Decks & Porches: this article describes recommended construction practices for deck safety, deck railing requirements, guard railing construction and building codes, and critical safe-construction details for deck and porch rails, guardrails, and exterior stair guard railings and handrails. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Guide to Building Safe, Legal Deck, Porch Railings
This article includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons. Also see our review of that book. Deck Railing & Guard railing Code RequirementsOur photos (above) show an attractive railing with horizontal cables intended to permit a nice view of the Brooklyn NY skyline. We also demonstrate how easily the cables can be separated as well as how attractive this guard railing is to children. See Cable Railings & Guardrails for details about cable type guard rails or "cable railings" such as shown above. As detailed in Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction: The International Residential Code (IRC) requires a minimum 36-inch-high guardrail for all decks, balconies, or screened enclosures more than 30 inches off the ground. For child safety, the balusters or other decorative infill must be spaced less than 4 inches apart (a 4-inch-diameter ball should not pass between the balusters). Deck Railing (Guardrail) Strength Requirements
Post Connections for Deck or Porch Railings
Wood Deck or Porch RailingsThe top rail for a guardrail can be a 2x6 either flat (photo at left) or on edge. Use the longest pieces you can find—a continuous railing is best. However for a hand railing on stairs, both flat and vertical 2x lumber are unsafe and violate good stair railing design because they cannot be grasped during a fall.

Also see DECK COLLAPSE Case Study (collapse of a new code-approved deck) and DECK FLASHING LEAKS, ROT Case Study for an example of an older deck with rot and collapse due to improper construction and missing building flashing. Question: can seating serve as a protective safety railing at decks, porches, or outdoors near a high retaining wall?Subject: 30" railing: If there is a seat wall and a planter between an upper level terrace and a retaining wall with a height greater than 30", can the railing be eliminated? Please see attached sketch. - M.B. Reply: OPINION about using seating as a safety barrier on decks, porches, or outdoor surfaces near retaining wallsI have certainly seen a number of high decks (not quite your case) that had continuous seating at the perimeter and no other railings. I expect that ultimately the building code compliance inspector will decide the issue locally. A concern might be that even though the seating can prevent someone from stumbling and falling off of the raised area, it would not stop a child from climbing right over - unless there were seat backs were high enough and made of vertical balusters rather than the typical horizontal materials. Taking a look at your sketch (above left), as drawn, the same concept seems to apply: you may have protection against an adult trip and fall over the retaining wall provided by some space (say six feet) between the "seat wall" and the "planter wall" (a retaining wall). But this design does not provide child safety protection nor protection for someone walking in or working in that inner space (having stepped over the seat wall). If this area is residential occupied outdoor space, I would be surprised if a building code inspection would accept the design you show: the "seat wall" is just 18" high, easily climbed over by a child; there is no safety railing at the planter wall above the dropoff - or are you planning to install a tall, impenetrable solid-growth hedge in the space where you show a shrub? That might be an acceptable alternative. Our photo of a high retaining wall without a guard railing (left) illustrates an approach using dense shrubbery as a safety barrier at a property in New York State. Typical building codes including local code interpretations that address the question of need for safety railings near high retaining walls give some latitude to the local building inspector.

Gerald for Model Number mmv5207baw
Answer Gerald, You will need to test the magnetron. The resistance value should be .5 ohms resistance. Also you will want to check the diode to make sure that it is good.
Was this helpful?
Answer Joe, The diode, if bad would not work at all. You would want to replace magnetron but it is not necessary to replace diode.
Marvin for Model Number MMV4205BAB
Answer Marvin, Like any "OTR" microwave, the hardest part is getting to the components, You basically have to un install the product and work on it, on a table or counter top. We'll be sending you some information that should be helpful. Thanks
Tom for Model Number MMV4205BAS
Answer Hello Tom. The magnetron W10126786 should read less than 1 ohm, the diode should only read in one direction, and the capacitor should spike and slowly drop down to 0. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
Ross for Model Number MMV4205BA
Answer Hello Ross. Yes, it could still be the magnetron W10126786. Unplug the magnetron and see if the problem continues. If not, replace the magnetron and diode. Hope this helps.
Ross for Model Number Maytag MMV4250BA
Answer Hello Ross. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the magnetron W10126786 and the diode DE91-70063D is bad and will need to be replaced on the microwave. Hope this helps.

Talk about high expectations man. (In his..sorta..defense he later claimed that he shot high because he didn't want to blow any chances of getting a benjamin button motorcycle.)

The World's Best Mooring
You can rest easy now; the debate is over. The best mooring on the planet is in New Zealand's Bay of Islands at 35˚ 18' S, 174° 7' E. What, you think yours is better? Tell us why and win a party!
I awake in darkness and silence and almost imperceptible motion. The boat rocks and bobs an inch or two. On land, even such small movement would be cause for alarm, but on a mooring, boats are always alive like this.
At first light, I summon the will to leave my warm cocoon of bedding, wrapping myself in a sleeping bag for the five steps I take to reach my clothes in the main cabin. High pressure and clear skies have finally followed the worst spring storm that New Zealand's seen in decades; it was caused by a giant low that sat in the Southern Ocean for a week, and the storm brought snow at lambing season, which decimated flocks. Clear nights are cool nights, and the pre-dawn cabin is 41 F, which is about as cold as it ever gets in the Bay of Islands.
Cool air against bare skin burns, but not for long.
Scandinavians tell me that there's no such thing as bad weather, only improper clothing. I could add long underwear, but Levi's and Polartec are enough until the sun brings warmth, though I do sometimes use a sleeping bag as a lap robe. Even in midwinter the temperature usually rises above 55 F, and today, in early October springtime, it will reach into the 60s F.
Dressed, I step to the companionway.
This morning, I'm facing the mountain to the east. Only 2,000 feet high, it's small for a mountain but too big to be a hill in this country of hills. It's sometimes shrouded by fog or cloud; this morning, its silhouette is razor sharp. One of the great pleasures of life on my mooring is watching light and shadow change on hills and water during the day.
A quarter of a mile away, silhouetted against the rising sun, is tiny, gumdrop-shaped Pine Tree Island.
The story is that early last century, a local settler planted seven pine trees on the islet, one for each of his children. He and they are dead now, but each time I look that way, I remember his loving gesture. And the roots of those trees are all that still holds the eroding island together.
A quarter of a mile in the other direction lies Opua Marina, the company from which I bought my mooring six years ago, after sailing across the Tasman Sea following the completion of my fourth circumnavigation in Sydney, Australia. I paid the duty on The Hawke of Tuonela, too, so that I don't have to take her out of the country every year, although I've sailed to French Polynesia and back, to Tonga and Fiji and back, and made an 18-month fifth circumnavigation since then. Often during that circumnavigation, I missed my mooring and wished I were back on it. I've found unexpected contentment here. But contentment isn't enough, and after a while I find myself thinking of the open ocean again.

Seventy years ago, in the middle of World War II, a couple of hundred miles north of Toulouse, Claude Lanzmann was a high school student — and an assimilated French Jew. Every day he faced the risk of arrest.
When Lanzmann was a teenager, both he and his father independently joined the Communist Resistance. He writes about that in his newly translated memoir, The Patagonian Hare.

Like many Americans, I have been glued to the television eager for details about the tragic murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. I am not sure what I hoped to discover, as each new piece of evidence is more disturbing than the last.
The University of Southern Mississippi announced that it took disciplinary action against five of its pep band members today.

It's spring, and that means rodeo season is ramping up, especially in the American West. Some professional cowboys will soon be competing almost every night in bull riding, calf roping or steer wrestling.
But along with the trophy buckles and cash prizes, cowboys also bring home injuries — some of them severe. Some rodeo events are more dangerous, and less lucrative, than football and other contact sports.
An Unsteady Paycheck
The 2012 Houston Rodeo begins with a prayer and the national anthem, followed by the first event: calf roping.
Maybe Robert De Niro didn't know. Or maybe he forgot.
But when the superstar actor joked at a New York Obama campaign fundraiser Monday evening which Michelle Obama attended about the country not being ready for a white first lady, he got into dangerous territory for President Obama.
According to an Obama campaign pool report, De Niro deadpanned:
"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?"

The rising civilian death toll in Syria is accompanied by mounting calls to arm the Syrian opposition. And Turkey, a NATO country that shares a long, rugged border with Syria, is often mentioned as a likely transit point.
Turkey has become increasingly critical of the Syrian regime, but Ankara is thus far reluctant to send significant arms across the border or use its large military to create a humanitarian corridor inside Syria.
Few 20th century thinkers predicted the 21st century era of social media and the Internet better than Marshall McLuhan. Beginning in the 1960s, the Toronto-based philosopher and scholar began to theorize about how television and radio were changing society, creating what he termed the "global village."
Doctors often let patients decide how much sedation they'd like when they have a colonoscopy.
But whether you're put under by an anesthesiologist may depend a lot more on where you live and who gets paid than patient preference, according to a new study.
Big bucks are involved. It would cost an extra $8 billion a year if anesthesia services were used for all 20 million endoscopies and colonoscopies performed each year, because an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist has to be paid, too.
There has been a lot of talk about what's wrong with food deserts. First lady Michelle Obama, for one, says far too many people can't access the fruits and vegetables they need to be healthy.

The federal health law's expansion of Medicaid will cover some 16 million more Americans in the government program for the poor, if that part of the law survives the legal challenge it faces in the Supreme Court beginning next week.
Florida is leading 25 other states in that challenge, but that hasn't stopped two of Miami's most prominent hospitals from preparing for the Medicaid expansion.

Frank Abagnale became notorious for impersonating a pilot, a doctor, and a laywer while in his early 20s. He was arrested at 21 by the French police, and later hired by the FBI to teach them his fradulent tricks. He started his own consultating agency, educating corporations, financial institutions and government agencies.
"What I did in my youth is hundreds of times easier today. Technology breeds crime."
"Why do the Yankees always win? The other team can't stop looking at the pinstripes."
"If my forgeries looked as bad as the CBS documents, it would have been 'Catch Me In Two Days'."
Early Life
Frank Abagnale Jr. was born on April 27, 1948, in Bronxville, New York. He was one of four children born to parents Frank Abagnale Sr. and Paulette Abagnale. The couple met in Algiers during World War II, while Frank Sr. was stationed in Oran. After the war, they moved to New York, where Frank started a stationery business on Madison Avenue.
Frank Jr. had a happy childhood, and was especially close to his father. When his mother decided unexpectedly to leave his father, however, the young Frank's life was turned upside-down. Not only were his siblings devastated, but so was his father, who was still very much in love with his wife. Frank Jr. decided to live with his father after the divorce, and he often tagged along on his dad's business dealings. It was during this time that Frank Jr. learned a lot about white collar businesses.
Early Crimes
As a teenager, Frank Abagnale got caught up in petty crimes, including shoplifting. He soon grew tired of this practice, though, and decided to move into more sophisticated forms of burglary. Specifically, Abagnale began using his father's gas credit card to make a tidy profit. Frank Jr. then convinced gas station attendants to give him a portion of his sale back in cash, and allowed them to pocket a portion of the proceeds. The scam fell apart, though, when Frank's father got the credit card bill, which topped several thousand dollars.
The incident caused havoc in the family; his father's business was struggling financially, and Frank's scheme set his father back even further. Tired of his son's delinquency, Frank Sr. sent his son to a private school for wayward boys. But school didn't stick with the young Abagnale, who left home at 16 to make his own living.
Abagnale left home with $200 in his bank account and no formal education. Using his knowledge of the stationery business, Frank altered his driver's license to make himself 10 years older than he was, and exaggerated his education. This helped him get better-paying jobs, but he still barely made ends meet.
Using his checkbook, Frank decided to quit his job and write bad checks to support himself. Before long, Abagnale had written hundreds of bad checks and had overdrawn his account by thousands of dollars. Knowing that he would eventually be caught, he decided it was time to go into hiding.
Frank realized that he could cash more bad checks if he dazzled bank tellers with a new, more impressive personality. He decided pilots were highly respected professionals, so he schemed his way into getting a pilot's uniform. Abagnale called Pan American Airlines' headquarters and told them that he had lost his uniform while traveling.

This was tweeted out by one of the Flyers beat writers.
Someone seriously shoot us. How in the hell did it come to this?
Great logo there, too. What decade is this?
The Flyers have done a great job in this series. But let's be clear. One thing the city of Philadelphia will never possess in winning or losing is class.
Can't believe Crosby is photoshopped in a lion suit on the front page of a major newspaper. No one will be the same after this series.

Democrats unrelenting in oversight of Bush administration
With elections ahead, Congress is expected to keep spotlight on alleged misdeeds.
(Page 2 of 2)
"To assess the oversight of one year can take several years," says David Rohde, a political scientist at Duke University.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Rep. Henry Waxman (D) of California, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has long championed congressional oversight authority as an often overlooked, vital function.
Done right, it can shape national policy just by producing public information, said Mr. Waxman at a 2006 symposium on the subject.
In 1994, Congress held extensive hearings into the practices of the tobacco industry. These did not lead to any enacted bill – then, or in subsequent years.
But the hearings forced tobacco executives to talk on the record and under oath, and to release thousands of pages of internal tobacco industry documents. State attorneys general used this information to bring the lawsuits against the industry which eventually led to restrictions on tobacco advertising and a monetary settlement worth over $200 billion.
"It would be wrong to ascribe these accomplishments to the congressional hearings ... but without question, those hearings [in 1994] had a galvanizing effect," said Waxman.
Now Waxman is one of the primary oversight irritants to the Bush administration. He's probed everything from reconstruction in Iraq to the firings of US attorneys to alleged politicization at the General Services Administration.
For officials, a waste of time
"One thing that is clear is that there is a heckuva lot more oversight than there was [before 2006]," says David Rohde. "But a degree of it is for show."
That's the main complaint of the Bush administration – as it was for the Clinton administration.
The White House calculates that it has had to respond to more than 300 congressional investigations or inquiries. As of last December, officials estimated they'd produced more than 1 million pages of documents in response to these probes.
Officials grumble that voters are far more concerned about the price of gas than whether Karl Rove will be forced to respond to the latest congressional subpoena.
It's true that polls show congressional approval ratings at record lows. A Gallup survey in early July found that only 14 percent of respondents approved of the job Congress is doing – half of President Bush's own record-low job approval rating of 28 percent.
Tension over oversight is as much institutional as partisan, says Thurber.
Every White House resists inquiries from Congress, particularly when it's controlled by the opposition party. The Clinton administration too complained it had produced more than 2 million pages of documents for congressional inspection from 1996 to 1998. White House staff spent over 55,000 hours responding to requests, said Clinton officials at the time.

Winning the same award three years on the bounce might become a little routine for some.
But after a hat-trick of being named North America's best airport, the people down at YVR are just as thrilled as they were when winning the accolade in 2010.
Vancouver International Airport was last week again named Best Airport in North America as part of the 2012 Skytrax World Airport Awards. YVR also ranked in the top ten airports worldwide.
The awards, announced in Vienna, recognize product and service quality across the world's airport industry and are based on an independent survey of 12 million passengers from 108 countries.
Airports were ranked based on 39 criteria, including design and layout, retail facilities, cleanliness, clarity of flight information and signs, luggage handling and transportation.
"For us, we're really, really excited and really proud of the workforce," Vancouver Airport Authority's (VAA) vice president of community and environmental affairs, Anne Murray, told the News.
"It's a credit to the 23,600 people who work here, because we all interact with the passengers in some way."
The morale boost from winning such lavish praise can be felt reverberating through every terminal, restaurant and retail outlet, Murray said.
"We hear feedback from both the Airport Authority employees and our business partners," she added.
"Even the retail tenants, the people who work in the shops, who deal with passengers all the time, get a boost from this kind of award."
The fact that the votes are cast by the passengers who use the airports and not "industry experts" lends the title more credibility and depth, according to Murray.
"That's why it's so meaningful, the jurors are the travelers who use the airport," she said.
"There was 39 different criteria; including retail, cleanliness, clarity of signage and customer service.
"The people that use the airport I think recognize the quality and the exceptional customer service."
Much has been made in recent months of the increasing amount of Canadians, especially in the Lower Mainland, border-hopping to jump on flights markedly cheaper than flying from YVR.
With another top award in the bag, however, Murray is confident more locals will recognize that Vancouver's airport has more to offer than cut-price flights.
"I think we provide really good value to the passengers. Price is one thing, sometimes it is cheaper to fly from the U.S.," she said.
"But when you think of the choice you have in terms of where you can fly to YVR and the choice of services we have, we hope that passengers see that.
"I think people's time is valuable and hope that convenience is important also."
Awards aside, YVR was criticized recently for deciding to up its Airport Improvement Fee (AIF) — a 19-year-old fee levied at every passenger — from $15 to $20, starting next month.
But, judging by the manner in which the airport is received by people who voted it the best on the continent once more, it's going to be money well spent, insists Murray.
"That fee goes into all the facilities and we think we've done a good job using that money appropriately for the airport," she said, pointing out the fee is still lower than the likes of Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal.
"The fee will be used to speed up the baggage systems and ensure passengers and their bags are connected.
"We know people in Richmond are so proud of the airport and are so proud to come home and have it right on their doorstep."

Hotel Monaco Opens Latest Hotel in Baltimore
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
The Baltimore Sun says that the hotel is opening at a time when hotel occupancy rates in the city are lower (down to 58.2 percent in the first half of this year versus 62.3 percent in the first half of 2008). This is due both to the recession and because more new hotels are opening in the area. Last year the total amount of hotels rooms within a one-mile radius of Pratt and Light streets was 6,782 but this year it has jumped up to 7,985 rooms.
To attract the city's attention, the hotel has been holding preview dinners in its restaurant, the B&O American Brasserie. The hotel is also offering an aggressive opening rate of $129 per night for rooms that will cost $329 or more after October.

directed by Josef von Strernberg and (uncredited)
Not an entirely happy production - Sternberg, according to Mitchum, shot and cut it in such a way that characters kept walking into themselves, with the result that Nicholas Ray was called in to reshoot (uncredited) many of the action scenes - but still a delightful bit of RKO exotica. The thin story, set in the port of the title, sees Mitchum's drifter joining up with Russell's sultry singer and helping the local cops catch a criminal bigwig. But what is so enjoyable, apart from Harry Wild's shimmering camerawork, is the tongue-in-cheek tone of the script and performances, best evidenced in the sparkling banter and innuendo between Mitchum and Russell. Excerpt from TimeOut Film Guide located HERE ***
My expectations for the 1952 "Macao" were not very high,
although I think that Josef von Sternberg's Shanghai Express (1932) may be the
most romantic movie ever made. His compositions built around Marlene Dietrich
got more and more stylized (and they were already very stylized in "Shanghai
Express") as the 1930s wore on. "Shanghai Gesture" (1941) which he wrote and
directed is a travesty of a movie almost entirely set in a Shanghai casino
catering to westerners, memorable mostly for the incredibly bizarre coiffure of
Mother Gin Sling (Ona Munson). The debacle seemed to finish off von Sternberg's
Hollywood career, but Howard Hughes temporarily revived it by hiring him to
direct "Test Pilot" and then turning over the star he wanted to be transformed
from a very beautiful, famously stacked, but straightforward American model into
a glamorous siren, or at least femme fatale—in other words, to craft another
Dietrich. Excerpt from Steven O. Murray's Eopinions website located HERE |

Comments: |
ADDITION: Warner - Region 1,4 - NTSC - January 07': As anticipated the Warner is now the definitive version of this rebellious Noir classic on DVD. Only single-layered but it has immensely superior contrast with more pure blacks and whites with a little more information in the frame. It is progressive and acceptably sharp. Unlike all the other films in the Mitchum Signature Boxset - it offers no French DUB. There is a fabulous commentary led by historian Eddie Muller and screenwriter Stanley Rubin, with some latter infused input from actress Jane Russell. The only real problem with not having Russell 'live' for the commentary is that Muller and Rubin can't react to what she says. Great stories though about the conflict of Mitchum and Von Sternberg - plus the director's strict on set rules that weren't going to fly with Mitchum. Eddie knows his stuff but Rubin is rife with his own stories and anecdotes as he was working with many of the principles at the time of this film including Howard Hughes midnight screenings and clandestine meetings although the enigmatic millionaire never once set foot on the RKO lot... ever. Rubin finds time to tell a great story about Janet Leigh, more Hughes related than to the film, and his crush on Gloria Grahame. The only real issue with the commentary is that not much is spoken about what is transpiring on screen - still very captivating with lots of Hollywood gossip. There is also a half hour TCM Private Screenings with Mitchum and Russell, hosted by Robert Osborne. It is interesting although much more politically correct than the commentary. ***
Image looks
barely acceptable
and typical of PAL of editions of older Hollywood flicks - heavy, deep
contrast with slight blurriness. A bit of washed sepia in there. No chroma
that I am aware and it has some ghosting as it is taken from an
unconverted NTSC source. Original audio with an optional
French DUB or French subtitles. No extras and only one menu again.

Japan Culture, Geography and History
Culture and Customs of Japan
Japan is a country that lives life between two worlds. Older rituals and traditions like kendo, bonsai, geisha, tea ceremonies and sumo coexist with contemporary attitudes and technological advances. The modern generation - who are a decidedly online, high-tech, fashion-forward crew - have adapted to a fast-paced world and generally work long hours, keep up with fashion trends and display a more ostentatious image in public. With a culture based on modesty, respect and discipline, it's no wonder that older, more traditional Japanese people are often at odds with this more flamboyant, modern generation.
Despite the difference in attitude and appearance, many traditions and ways of living endure in modern Japan. No matter what age, etiquette is important to the Japanese and guides people when eating, travelling, working and interacting with others. Traditions and rituals like tea ceremonies, bowing, kendo, geisha and sumo endure, as do festivals that have been in existence for centuries. Japan holds many festivals all over the country, ranging from large national celebrations to small regional fairs. Cherry blossom festivals - Hanami - are celebrated all over Japan in spring and other traditional festivals and celebrations can be stumbled upon in small towns and cities alike.
Although modern cuisine and convenience foods have infiltrated Japanese society, authentic Japanese cuisines like bento boxes, sushi and ramen remain ever popular. The contradictions of Japan are endless - kimonos and karaoke, contemporary art and calligraphy, bonsai and bullet trains - the modern collides with the ancient everyday, and makes for a truly fascinating place to visit.
Geography and Environment of Japan
Located in the Pacific Ocean, the island nation of Japan is an archipelago of more than 6,000 islands, with the main islands being Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. Lying on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan is prone to destructive earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic activity.
Japan has much forested, mountainous terrain, unsuitable for agriculture and development, so much of the population live in the coastal cities, which creates overpopulation. Japan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and as a result, most people are used to living in very small spaces and with a heavy reliance on public transport. Although life is fast-paced and crowded in cities like Tokyo and Osaka, rural areas typically feature low-density, traditional housing and a slower pace of life.
History and Government of Japan
This timeline highlights the important moments in Japan's early history:
- 710 to 794: Nara Period - Buddhism becomes the national religion
- 794 to 1185: Heian Period - The Tale of Genji and the Pillow Book are written and the samurai grow in importance and influence
- 1333 to 1573: Muromachi Period - Tea ceremonies and flower arranging are born
- 1600 to 1868: Edo Period - Haiku flourishes and the art of woodblock printing is first created
- 1868 to 1912: Meiji Period - Western influences grow and modern Japanese literature is born
- 1912 to 1926: Taisho Period - Cultural life expands with mass media (newspapers and magazines) becoming popular, as well as translations of Western books
Early History
Japanese civilisation can be traced back thousands of years to prehistoric times. Over the centuries, Japan alternated between feudal, empirical and government rule, with each period birthing different styles of art, architecture and ways of living. Agriculture, particularly rice-growing, was a very important part of life in early Japan, and craftsmanship like metal working was also highly developed and respected in Japan's early days.
Recent History
Over the decades, Tokyo has grown to become an economic powerhouse and one of the most cosmopolitan, modern cities in the world. Enduring an earthquake in 1923 that caused widespread damage and civilian fatalities, as well as several bombings during World War II, Tokyo remains a global city focused on trade, tourism and technological advances.
The Japanese Army were very aggressive during World War II, playing an important part in the war and therefore suffered many losses. Many troops were lost but the most notable losses were the civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - two cities which were destroyed by atomic bombs dropped by the United States towards the end of the war. After World War II Japan slowly found its feet, creating a strong economy based on manufacturing and telecommunications. Enjoying decades of prosperity and abundance, Japanese arts, culture and cuisine flourished, allowing the rest of the world to see and enjoy Japan's unique heritage.
Emperor Hirohito passed away in 1989 after reigning for many decades. This signified the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era. In 1998, Japan hosted the Winter Olympics and fast became known as one of the hottest new places to enjoy snow sports.
Currently, Japan is still in recovery from the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 2011. But with large parts of the country unaffected, Japan is still a very special place to visit.

A Chinese mum-of-two disfigured by horrific tumours growing on her face has been told by doctors she will make a full recovery from her condition after the Communist government said it would foot the bill for her surgery.
Li Hongfang, 40, has been shunned in public after a rare type of bone cancer caused tissue to grow under her facial skin, distorting her features beyond recognition.
Hongfang - a mother-of-two - has endured the condition, known as Chordoma, for more than a decade because she has no money to pay for surgery which is only available in China at a price.
Now officials at Qianxian People's Hospital, near Xi'an in western China's Shaanxi province, say they have been ordered to spare no expense, after her case became a source of shame for the country's ailing health service thanks to pressure from international media.
Medical director Xue Gang said: "Our superiors told us specially that we should cure Li Hongfang's illness at all costs"
Local government officials have pledged to meet all costs for her surgery and ongoing radiotherapy to make sure the tumours stay gone.
Spokesman Si Dangku confirmed: "We will pay and if we run out of funds, the regional government will pay."
Surgeon Pan Lin - from Xijing Hospital, where Hongfang is preparing for her operation - said she will look completely normal after the surgery.
"The condition is rare but the tumours are benign so her life is not in danger.
"After the tumours have been removed we will provide some cosmetic surgery and she will end up a beauty again," he added.
Hongfang is now undergoing a series of pre-op tests before the surgery can begin.
But she said: "I am so grateful to the people who made this happen."
"I just want to look normal again, like I feel inside. I'm not a monster and I don't want to look like one," she added.
Hongfang had originally thought that the first swelling on her face was in infected insect bite.
'It didn't even itch or ache in any way – but it also didn't go away and in fact just got bigger and bigger," she said.
China's health service fell apart when the old state system was dismantled and medical fees introduced.
Tens of millions of people cannot even see a doctor and cannot afford treatment.

The achievement gap in education refers to the different levels of academic performance of students from a variety of racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds. The lack of access to high-quality education in a child's early years has a deep and enduring impact on development and academic achievement.
June 24, 2013
National Press Club
Washington, D.C.
ETS convened this symposium with the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) to discuss the potentially perilous high school years of 1.7 million young Black men ages 14–18 as they prepare for post-secondary education and careers. During these final years in the public K–12 education system, young Black men face an inequitable high school experience. Presently, Black males produce some of the lowest education and career outcomes of major population groups in the country.
Viewpoints is a forum for commentary and discussion on important topics in education, government and research on achievement gap issues. Our current topic opens the forum in advance of the 2014 Addressing Achievement Gaps Symposium, "Advancing Success for Black Men in College" to be held June 23, 2014.
Join the ETS Research and Education Policy mailing lists for the latest updates, including new education research, notifications of upcoming events and invitations to Achievement Gap symposiums.

Birth Control Hormonal Methods (cont.) Medical Author:

Medical Editor:
Lee P Shulman, MD
Birth Control PatchNew in the United States is a transdermal patch (worn on the skin) that releases estrogen and progesterone directly into the skin (brand name, Ortho Evra). Each patch contains a one-week supply of hormones. It releases a low daily dose equivalent to the lowest-dose oral contraceptive. The birth control patch is easy for women to use because it works for a week, and women do not have to remember a pill every day. A new patch is applied every week for three weeks, and a patch is not worn during the fourth week when you have a menstrual period. It is available by prescription. Side effects for the birth control patch are similar to those experienced by women using oral contraceptives. However, the patch may cause skin irritation where it is placed (near the bikini line, on the buttocks, or upper body). Sometimes, it may come off and not be noticed, for example, in the shower, and it will become less efficient. In August 2002, the FDA listed a failure rate for the patch of one pregnancy per 100 women per year, similar to that of other combination methods. It may be less effective for women who weigh more than 198 pounds. The patch does not protect against STDs. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Birth Control Hormonal Methods
