While you are in the care of Kensington Tours, your safety and security are our number one priority. As such, in the unlikely event of serious illness or injury, all Kensington Tours clients are covered by "Flying Doctors" Insurance policy. This emergency evacuation insurance covers the cost of the evacuation flight back to Nairobi for treatment. This insurance policy however DOES NOT cover the cost of any medical treatment received. We highly recommend travel insurance for full coverage.
A privately driven vehicle will provide you with a transfer to and from the airport.
This morning you'll meet up with your guide and head off to Samburu National park. The drive from the urban center of Nairobi, through the fertile highlands, the semi-arid frontier of Kenya is breath-taking and a great way to see the countryside. The drive will be about 5 to 6 hours.
Your skilled guide will take you on an afternoon game-viewing drive through the sandy Samburu desert region.
Early this morning you'll meet up with your guide for your game drive. One of the amazing things about Samburu is that you'll most likely see species that are unique to this region. The Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest species of zebra. It is found in the Samburu area as well as parts of Ethiopia. Compared to other zebras, it is taller, has larger ears, and its stripes are narrower. Grévy's zebra is considered endangered, partly due to hunting for its skin, which fetches a high price on the world market. It also suffers habitat destruction, human disturbances at water holes and competition with domestic grazing animals. There are estimated to be 17.000 Grévy's zebra still living in the wild. With luck, you'll see some today!
Another species unique to the Samburu region is the gerenuk. With luck, you'll see some while on your game drive. It's amazing to watch them stand on their hind legs to eat! The gerenuk (also known as Waller's gazelle) is a long-necked species of antelope found in dry bushy shrub and steppe in East Africa. The word gerenuk comes from the Somali language, meaning "giraffe-necked", and leads to its other common name, the giraffe-necked antelope.
This morning you will leave Samburu and drive to Laikipia. Along the way you will see amazing scenery as you drive through rural Kenya, spot Samburu villages and more as you drive. This drive takes about 2 hours.
You will have the option of visiting the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary today. The sanctuary is the only place in Kenya where this highly endangered and remarkably intelligent species can be seen.
The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary opened in 1993 in a negotiated agreement between the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Jane Goodall Institute. Here the animals are carefully nursed back to health and integrated into families. The chimpanzees live in two large groups separated by the Ewaso Nyiro River. Watch them romp and play, visit the local shop, or even sponsor a chimp!
Visitors to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy have free access to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which is open daily from 9:00am to 10:30am and 3pm to 4:30pm.
Your guide will drive you from Laikipia to Lake Naivasha, through the rift valley. This drive will take about 5 hours.
Sign up for optional activities on-site. Activities include Crescent Island boat tour, hiking and day trip excursions to Mt Longonot and Hell's Gate, or simply walk along the lakeshore and relax at your lodge.
*Activity fees vary and are paid on-site to the lodge and/or park authority.
Your guide will drive you from Naivasha to Masai Mara. This drive will take about 5 to 6 hours. Drive times may be longer in the rainy season (April to early May and November). Stop for refreshments and souvenir shopping at roadside stands along the way or head straight to the park. Enjoy game viewing as you enter Masai Mara and drive to your camp.
Head out this afternoon, accompanied by an experience tracker-guide, on an exciting game viewing adventure. Search some of the area`s wildlife hot-spots determined by your guide, as they`ve learned and now understand the games daily routines through tracking. Some wildlife is more difficult than others to spot, for instance the Leopard. These spotted cats blends almost seamlessly into the tall grass and shrubbery, and are even more challenging to spot up in their favorite hangout, the trees. Your guide will take you to nearby watering holes, where on a hot day, you`ll spot many bird and wildlife species, including the elusive Leopard.
The famed Masai Mara Game Reserve was named after the indigenous inhabitants of this land, the Maasai, and the provider of life to the area, the Mara River. Game viewing is almost guaranteed at some point along the Mara River, and your experienced tracker-guide will know all the best spots to go to maximize this chance to see some of the many bird and wildlife species here. Have your camera handy, as some amazing photo opportunities will present themselves from elephants on the riverbanks to hippos in shallow water.
On today's afternoon game drive, the choice is up to you: search for the Big 5 or expand your horizons to discover something different. Masai Mara not only has a rich mix of animals – it also has an incredible array of bird life with almost 450 different species.
Just like the local wildlife, you'll head out bright and early this morning, alongside an experienced tracker-guide for the day's first game drive. The eco-diversity and sheer size of the Masai Mara Game Reserve provides the necessary requirements to house a wide range of animal species. The most recognized are known worldwide as the African Big 5, which includes the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Rhinoceros, Leopard, and the King of the beasts, the Lion. The term Big 5 was coined by big-game hunters, as these species were the most difficult and dangerous to track and hunt. Subsequently the term was adopted by the tourism industry for marketing purpose, spinning a web of positivity opposed to the negative effect portrait by the original terminology. Numerous other species of bird and wildlife inhabit this dynamic location including Hyenas, Gazelles, Impalas, Giraffes, Zebras, Vultures, Cranes, Eagles, Falcons, and Ostriches.
You`ll depart the Masai Mara Game Reserve today in a privately driven vehicle with guide and travel towards the Isebania border crossing. Upon your arrival, your guide will arrange the necessary documentation for your entry into Tanzania.
When traveling across the Kenyan-Tanzanian border a few things must occur. Upon arrival to the Isebania Border Crossing, you will switch vehicles and guides according to the country you'll be entering. You will be required to purchase a Visa; for Kenya it's a per person cost of 50$ USD, and for Tanzania it's a per person cost of 100$ USD for American Citizens and 50$ USD for all other Nationalities.
Please Note: Visas must be paid in USD, and in CASH. No bills can be older than 2006 as a local counterfeiting safeguard. A Single entry Visa is valid for 3 months and can be used for multiple entries into Kenya and Tanzania. It is also required that you have your Yellow Fever certification handy upon crossing.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be aware that for portions of this LONG drive, specifically through Kenya, the road may be unfinished and rather rough. Upon entry into Tanzania, you`ll notice an improvement in stability and comfort as roadway heading toward the Serengeti National Park is newly paved. The approximate total travel time between Masai Mara and Serengeti can range between 6 to 9 hours depending on road conditions, traffic and weather.

This morning's African adventure begins with an exploratory game drive through Tanzania's oldest and most recognized National Park, the Serengeti. This location offers the most expansive game viewing in Tanzania. From predators to prey, great herds of grazing herbivores to tactically cunning packs of carnivores, life on the plains of the Serengeti can best be defined as a complete "circle of life." A photographic dream unfolds before your eyes as giraffes and elephants feast on tasty shrubbery, whilst impalas, gazelles and buffalos dance carefully through the plains as to not become the latest meal for on-looking lions, cheetahs and hyenas.
Spend today searching out Impala, one of Africa's most beautiful and graceful animals. Previously thought to be part of the gazelle tribe, Impalas have been found to be so different that they are now classified as their own sub-family status. When frightened or startled the whole impala herd starts randomly leaping to confuse their predator. They can jump distances more than 10 meters (33 ft.) and 3 meters (9 ft.) high. Leopards, cheetah, lions and wild dogs prey on impala. Impala can reach running speeds of approximately 50 to 55 mph (80 to 90 km/h) to escape its predators. See if you can track these incredible animals!
This African journey continues as you board a privately driven vehicle, accompanied by a local tracker-guide for your visit to the overwhelming large Ngorongoro Conversation Area. You'll depart the Serengeti National Park grounds at a somewhat slower pace as to get in some more game-viewing. An optional stop at the Olduvlai Gorge is highly recommended, where at the Serengeti Welcome Centre you'll have an opportunity to marvel at a panoramic view of the surrounding area from the lookout point. A stop for a picturesque picnic is also scheduled during this journey. Upon your arrival into the conservation area, you'll head towards your overnight accommodation whilst taking in the overwhelming size of the Ngorongoro crater. The approximate travel time may vary between 5 to 6 hours depending on weather conditions and the number of stops you've made along the way. During the heavy rainy season, longer travel times should be expected.
The massive Olduvai Gorge or Oldupai Gorge is often referred to as "The Cradle of Mankind." Beginning in the eastern Serengeti plains, the gorge is roughly some 48 kilometers long. Resulting from millions of years of natural erosion, this gorge boasts a steep-sided ravine that cuts and stretches its way through the Great Rift Valley along eastern Africa. The gorge is named after a commonly used plant by the Masai people with the scientific name of Sansevieria-Ehrenbergii, or Oldupai for short.
Enjoy a picnic lunch (included in tour price).
You are provided with a personalized, experienced tracker-guide and private transportation today whilst exploring around the Ngorongoro National Park grounds.
Explore one of the most recognized wildlife conservation areas in Tanzania today. Depart your camp or lodge in a privately driven vehicle, along with a local expert guide, for approximately a 20 to 30 minute drive towards the Ngorongoro Park Gate. It will then take you another 20 minutes to reach the crater rim itself. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. This geological masterpiece was formed as a result of an extremely large volcanic explosion which caused the volcano to collapse in on itself, thus creating a crater. The crater is roughly 20 kilometers wide and some 2000 feet deep, making the trip from crater floor to rim around 45 minutes by 4x4. The extremely fertile crater floor is the reason why there is such a highly concentrated amount of wildlife here. Over 20000 mammals call the crater home, including some of the only remaining black rhinos in the world. The crater floor also boasts one of the highest carnivore densities in the world including large prides of lions, packs of hyenas and solitary predators like cheetahs and jackals. A keen eye and expertly recommended search patterns from your guide may help you spot some of the less common species like leopards, servals, and bat-eared foxes.
On this journey, you will make a brief stop-over in Arusha for some shopping and refreshments. You will pass over the Namanga border crossing when leaving Tanzania to enter Kenya. Be aware that portions of the road on this drive are unfinished and bumpy. At the Namanga border where you will meet your Kenyan guide.
Upon reaching the Namanga Border Crossing, make a quick stop to switch between Kenyan and Tanzanian guides and vehicles before continuing on your safari.
Visas can be purchased at the border: for Kenya it's a per person cost of 50$ USD, for Tanzania it's a per person cost of 100$ USD for American Citizens and 50$ USD for all other Nationalities. Please Note: Visas must be paid in USD, and in CASH. No bills can be older than 2006 as a local counterfeiting safeguard.

Once you're through customs you will switch vehicles and meet up with your Kenyan guide who will take you to Amboseli.
This afternoon you'll meet with your guide and head into Amboseli National Park. The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to free-ranging elephants among other wildlife species, and its other attractions include opportunities to meet the Masai Tribe's people. On a clear day, you'll also have spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
You'll be up early this morning as you meet up with your private guide and driver for your game drive in Amboseli Park. Depending on how lucky you are with your viewing you'll usually be out in the park for a few hours before returning to the lodge.
Take time for an early game drive or head directly to Nairobi before your international flight. The drive will take approximately 4hrs.
The opportunity to explore the local markets and shops presents itself today as so you can interact with the local vendors in search for the perfect handicraft or souvenir for yourself or your loved ones.

"I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had in the Serengetti . He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and courteous. We all agree that Kensington has first class staff working for them in Africa. All the camps that we stayed at were absolutely beautiful except perhaps for the one in Lake Manyara. All in all it was a spectacular trip!"

"Our trip to Masai Mara via Kensington ran very smoothly. We stayed at the Mara West Lodge. Beautiful location atop a ridge overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Our luxury tents were quite comfortable and the staff/service at the lodge were great. Meals were very nice especially the daily soups. Our guide, Steve, was also great...so knowledgeable and eager to show us many interesting things. He planned our daily game drives and took us on a nature hike one afternoon. He clearly knows and understands this ecosystem. He has an amazing eye, finding animals in fields of tall grasses. Our entire family had an amazing time, trip of a lifetime...would love to go back!"

"Once again, a perfect trip. From Elizabeth's planning to Godfrey's guiding, we could not have asked for a more thorough and well planned safari. I can't wait to come back and do it again, this time with a Kilimanjaro climb added onto the trip!"

"The entire trip was superb - all the transfers, the lodging and the food, the safari experience and the knowledgeable guides. The guide's ability to spot an animal and identify it at a great distance allowed us to see and photograph all the animals on our list and then some. The lodgings were even better than we had hoped and the staff could not possibly have been better. Our trip of a lifetime turned out to be just that."

"We finally returned from the most magical vacation in Morocco and we cannot thank Lily and Kensington Tours enough!! This trip was beyond amazing and we are so appreciative for everything done to make this trip happen last minute for us!
We had a spectacular tour guide that spoke 8 languages, Ismail, and the friendliest and warmest driver, Said, whom made the experience absolutely phenomenal! Not only did we learn and see, but we laughed, danced, ate like pigs, kissed camels and snakes, ran in the Sahara desert under the stars, and enjoyed life - the best gift of all!

"I am so happy that I used Kensington Tours to help with my dream trip to Cape Town South Africa. I was looking for a well respected tour company that planned private guided tours that was not going to cause me my leg, lol. I begin searching companies by reputation and value. I narrowed it down to Kensington Tours because of the quality and value. I felt taken care of prior to my departure due to the detailed itinerary.
From the time of got off the plane to the time I headed back to the states, I was in excellent hands. The service was EXCELLENT! I will definitely use Kensington again. Certainly, a trip of a lifetime!"

"I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from The arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Molly Kelly, an American Express travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in Morocco then let Kensington Tours make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Kensington Tours did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our Mercedes SUV, could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Molly and her recommending Kensington Tours, we had a sensational holiday. "

"Africa had always been a myth in mind since I was child that was up until a week ago. I just returned from an epic safari adventure! Kenya, Tanzania and the Maasai are sorely missed.
Words cannot fully express the magic of this ever-flowing journey. It was awe-inspiring, breathtaking, free and powerful. My mind keeps playing tricks on me; thinking rather hoping that I'm going to see a giraffe cross a busy NYC street :)
The memories will resonate for a lifetime. To boot, I went on this trip solo; female traveler. Not sure any of it would have been possible w/out Kensington Tours!!! Thank you..."

"I had a wonderful trip visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda. We were able to get really close to the gorillas and watched their interactions with each other. The local people are so gracious and made every minute a delight. The accomodations were great. I loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of the forest. The added luxury of a massage was a great way to end the trip!"

"Our family of 6 traveled to Morocco for a 9 day Imperial cities discovery, I was absolutely amazing. Our guide Lahcen Zaaim was the best guide we have EVER had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that he was not knowledgeable about. He made the trip sooooo memorable. He was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us soo much about everything we were seeing. There was soooo much to see in Morocco and he made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we got to the airport in casablanca, he spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the King of Moroccos artist to meet us at our riad the night before we left to return home late to do our names in moroccan arabic to frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Kings Face he had done for the Palace! Lily Baffour from Kensington planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as she thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Iteniaries by next day air in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, SOOOOOO IMPRESSED and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I cant say enough about this trip and Kensington, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a VERY different culture in going to Morocco and thats what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accomodations we Top Notch, staying in the TRuly authenic Riads, they were SOOOOO Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Fes!!!

Last year, Bang & Olufsen was packaging up some very slick speakers with its 65-inch BeoVision 12 plasma HDTV. If you're already partial to your big screen, however, you can still have these stylish speakers. The company just made the BeoLab 12 line available for purchase.
This digital speaker line includes the BeoLab 12-1, BeoLab 12-2, and BeoLab 12-3 speakers. Because there are three models, you should be able to find something to fit your specific application. Also, the BeoLab 12 is designed for use in a surround setup or if you just need a cool pair of stand-alone speakers.
All three models have 6.5-inch CosCone woofers (two for the BeoLab 12-3), separate ICEpower amplifiers, and a funky deisgn that can be hung upside down or right-side up—depending on your choice on the acoustic lens. The BeoLab 12-3 (480 watts) and BeoLab 12-2 (320 watts) also add in patented Acoustic Lens Technology. New floor stands are also available for each speaker.
"The BeoLab 12 collection is all about flexibility," says Dave Zapfel, product manager of Bang & Olufsen America, Inc. "The Bang & Olufsen household wants pitch-perfect audio whether they're watching a film in surround sound or simply enjoying their favorite playlists. BeoLab 12 speakers are designed to sound and look great, without the bulk of traditional speakers, and the three different sets all work together seamlessly both acoustically and aesthetically. On the wall or on the new floor stands, the possibilities to create the perfect sound design for any room just got better."
The BeoLab 12-1 is available with a fabric front, in both silver or white. The BeoLab 12-3 and BeoLab 12-2 have aluminium and white options. The BeoLab 12-3, BeoLab 12-2 and BeoLab 12-1 are all available now. B&O has priced these speakers at $4,613, $3,120 and $2,950, respectively.

Comments about CRAFT Men's PXC High Performance Jacket:
I use this jacket for xc skiing and love it. It's water resistant, and cuts the wind very nicely. I'm 5'10", 180 lbs. and the large works just fine.
I purchased the Focus blue and thought that the zipper color was a yellowish tint (as per what the pic online showed) however, the actual color was a bright orange. No problem, but it just kind of threw me for a bit.
The reflective trim is nice, as I do some night skiing where I occasionally come across a snowmobile as I cross the road.
And let's not forget that this jacket is stylin' !

- No


text: An overlooked gem from The Controllers – one issued a bit late to be part of the classic wave of group soul, but a set that's still overflowing with really old school harmonies! The Controllers really have a wonderful way of putting over a ballad – letting things build slow and mellow, trading lead parts and harmonies together in a way that really moves the message forward, while never overdoing things too much in search of a hook. And even when the instrumentation is contemporary, it never gets in the way of the vocals – and almost always lays back once the lyrics come in, even on the album's few groovers. Titles include "For The Love Of My Woman", "My Secret Fantasy", "Love Is On Our Side", "Play Time", "Sleeping Alone", "Knocking At Your Door", and "No One's Ever Loved Me More". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Corporate Culture
To master the challenges of the future, society needs competitive businesses that can insure prosperity by providing growth and jobs. We firmly believe that entrepreneurial success is founded upon a corporate culture that values partnership, dialogue, transparency and performance. The Bertelsmann Stiftung wants its projects to help employee- and customer-focused businesses assume greater social responsibility.
Focus Areas
Family and Work
When it comes to society's future, family-friendly policies are of critical importance. Yet working conditions do not always reflect how people live today. As a result, the needs and expectations of both individuals and businesses must be brought into alignment, taking both professional and personal considerations into account. For that to happen, not only must organizations be structured to reflect today's realities, employees must be willing to take the initiative when it comes to new approaches to work/life balance.more
Leaders currently face major challenges; continuing to do "business as usual" will no longer suffice. Globalization's impact, aftershocks from the international economic crisis and innovations driven by Web 2.0 are all raising questions about what leadership today entails and how organizations should be structured to reflect current needs.more
Human Resources Policy
The business world's ever-faster pace demands new approaches, including for how human resources policies are designed and carried out. What are the methods organizational actors are using to meet these challenges? What must HR policies achieve if they are to ready management and staff for future challenges, thus ensuring the organization's long-term competitiveness?more

Home > Where We Work > Asia and the Pacific > East Asia and the Pacific > Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region of China)
2014 UNHCR regional operations profile - East Asia and the Pacific
| Overview |
Working environment
The East Asia and the Pacific subregion continues to face the challenges of mixed flows of migrants and asylum-seekers from Asia, the Middle East and Africa. In Australia, the Government has responded to a rising number of irregular maritime arrivals (IMAs) by adopting strict new asylum legislation and policies, including the transfer of IMAs to Nauru and Papua New Guinea for processing. These developments have created a complex and challenging protection environment for refugees and asylum-seekers in the country.
Australia and other Pacific States are likely to continue to pursue measures aimed at deterring irregular boat movements. UNHCR will work to ensure that people of concern still benefit from adequate protection and assistance, in line with international humanitarian principles. In 2014-2015, the Office is calling for an increase in resettlement intakes, and will increase advocacy efforts to help the Australian public to gain a more balanced and informed understanding of asylum and refugee issues, hopefully leading to more support for people of concern.
In New Zealand as well, the focus on refugee issues will be substantially influenced by trends in mixed maritime movements. Although the Government reduced the UNHCR-sponsored component of its annual resettlement quota in 2013, its efforts to improve support for resettled refugees are likely to have positive effects in the longer term.
As parties to the bilateral IMA-transfer arrangements with Australia, Nauru and Papua New Guinea will face considerable challenges in providing an adequate level of support for transferees. They require support to strengthen their legislative frameworks, refugee status determination (RSD) systems and reception arrangements. West Papuan refugees remain in need of durable solutions, with naturalization being the most viable option.
The Pacific Island States, which receive a relatively small number of asylum-seekers compared to other parts of the region, are expected to continue to strengthen their asylum and refugee protection capacities.
In China, growing mixed migratory flows to urban areas have had an impact on the reception conditions for asylum-seekers. The increase in the number of refugees and asylum-seekers has highlighted the need for the Government to enact national asylum legislation in line with the 1951 Refugee Convention. The July 2013 adoption of the Exit-Entry Administration Law has been followed by a growing interest of the Chinese authorities in asylum systems in other countries.
In Hong Kong SAR, China, a groundbreaking judgment of the Court of Final Appeal has prompted the authorities to pledge to assess refugee claims independently before executing deportation orders. The Government subsequently announced that it would introduce a "unified screening mechanism" to assess claims for protection against refoulement.
UNHCR continues to advocate for the Government of Mongolia's accession to the 1951 Refugee Convention.
In Japan, the year 2012 saw the highest number of asylum applications to date (2,545), with progress made in the handling of asylum cases. For instance, alternatives to detention are being arranged for asylum-seekers. The Government has also reiterated its commitment to continue offering resettlement places after the current pilot phase of the resettlement programme ends in 2014.
The Republic of Korea enacted a comprehensive Refugee Law in July 2013. A dedicated Refugee Division was created by the Ministry of Justice within the Korea Immigration Service. RSD capacity has been strengthened and is gradually being extended to provinces and municipalities outside Seoul. The Government has increased its financial support for UNHCR, and the private sector in the Republic of Korea has doubled its contributions from the previous year.
| Response |
UNHCR will continue to monitor and advocate for a stronger protection environment for all asylum-seekers arriving in Australia and New Zealand, particularly those transferred to other countries in the Pacific. Protection initiatives will focus on access to fair and effective RSD, reduced use of detention in favour of community-based arrangements, the special needs of vulnerable individuals, and the provision of safe, humane and sustainable solutions for all refugees.
In both Australia and New Zealand, UNHCR will advocate for more resettlement places and support grassroots- and community-based civil society projects geared to the development of more tolerant and balanced public perceptions of asylum and refugee issues.
UNHCR will continue to assist the Pacific Island States to build their legal systems and capacities to respond to the needs of asylum-seekers and refugees in their territories.
In China, UNHCR will conduct RSD, seek durable solutions, and advocate with the Government to assure protection for all people of concern.
In Hong Kong SAR, China, UNHCR will provide technical support to the Government and seek durable solutions for people of concern, strengthen public support for refugees and raise funds from the public and private sectors.
In Mongolia, UNHCR will offer training and other capacity-building assistance to government authorities to help them prepare for the country's accession to the 1951 Refugee Convention.
In Japan, public strategic partnerships with key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japan International Cooperation Agency ( JICA), non-governmental organizations and the Parliamentary League for UNHCR will work to improve asylum practices and garner popular political and financial support for the Office.
UNHCR will help to strengthen the Republic of Korea's refugee protection capacity and advocate with the Government for increased political and financial support.
Responding to asylum-seekers arriving irregularly by boat remains a topic of heated debate in Australia and, increasingly, in other countries in the Pacific. In this environment, ensuring that humanitarian responses are not affected by the focus on border protection and deterrence remains a challenge.
Although China is party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, refugees and asylum-seekers have no legal status and are entirely dependent on UNHCR for registration, RSD and life-sustaining assistance. As a result, operational resources are stretched. Limited access to some regions inhibits UNHCR's monitoring and advocacy capacity.
In Hong Kong SAR, China, the authorities remain reluctant to accede to the 1951 Refugee Convention. Despite the recent announcement of the Government's plan to institute a "unified screening mechanism" to assess claims for non-refoulement protection, no options have been considered for possible local integration for those allowed to remain on the territory.
Mongolia is not a signatory to any of the refugee instruments and has no domestic legislation governing asylum issues. The protection of people of concern is governed through the provisions of a government ordinance.
In the Republic of Korea, the authorities implementing the newly adopted asylum legislation will need sustained support through technical advice and training. UNHCR will work with the Government, the media and civil society to maintain a tolerant and balanced public perception of asylum and refugee issues and curb rising xenophobia.
| Implementation |
In Australia and New Zealand, the main focus of UNHCR's protection advocacy and monitoring will be on access to fair and efficient RSD procedures. UNHCR will also work with the authorities on policy and practice regarding detention and the implementation of Australia's bilateral arrangements with Nauru and Papua New Guinea.
In China, UNHCR will continue to carry out RSD under its mandate and to provide life-sustaining assistance to refugees pending the attainment of durable solutions. At the same time, it will seek greater engagement with relevant national actors to expand protection and humanitarian space.
The recent enactment of the Exit-Entry Administration Law has made it important for UNHCR to work closely with the Government on registration and the issuance of State documentation for refugees.
In Hong Kong SAR, China, UNHCR will continue to provide technical support to the relevant authorities and help in the identification of durable solutions, especially in light of the Government's recent announcement of its plan to introduce a "unified screening mechanism" to assess claims for protection from refoulement. It will also work to strengthen the public's awareness of refugee issues and support for the displaced, in addition to raising funds from the public and private sectors.
UNHCR will support Japan in its efforts to strengthen its national protection regime, including in the areasof community mobilization and local integration, while undertaking a wide range of awareness-raising activities in collaboration with the national association and partners. The strategic partnership with JICA and civil society organizations on emergency preparedness and response will be reinforced.
UNHCR will support the Republic of Korea in its efforts to introduce its refugee protection system. The Office will continue to seek funds from corporate donors in the country.
| Financial information |
In 2014, the overall financial requirements for the East Asia and Pacific subregion have been set at USD 13.8 million.
The financial requirements have remained stable in Japan and the Republic of Korea.
In the Pacific, the Australia Regional Office continues to work with a modest budget, despite the acute protection challenges faced by UNHCR in the region and additional responsibilities for Papua New Guinea following the closure of the country office in December 2012.
In addition, since August 2012, the protection monitoring and advocacy workload has increased significantly following the signing of the IMA-transfer arrangements between Australia, Papua New Guinea and Nauru. Financial requirements in 2014, which are at a level similar to 2013, will have to cover expanding protection demands stemming from irregular maritime movements and asylum policy changes in Australia.
In China, where UNHCR delivers registration and RSD services as well as basic material assistance to recognized refugees, the rise in the number of asylum-seekers witnessed in 2013 has had an impact on operational and financial requirements for 2014.

It's been a great 18 months having coach Haven as a part of the DeCO family, but the time has come for him to move on and pursue other career opportunities. I can't express enough my appreciation for his coaching, his sense of humor and the unique perspective he's brought to DeCO over this period of time. Let's wish him the best of luck!

I wish people would STOP listing "The Searchers" as a great movie. There are major flaws up and down the movie. And the extremely racist theme is irresponsible.

If Westerns aren't your thing? How about...
Users say
What a load of NONSENSE. I've seen some bad lists but this is just the worst. A below average Brad Pitt vehicle above Leone's greatest work and one of the greatest films of any genre? Absurd.
Useless list. Dead Man at number 6 and no Tombstone? Who complied this list - a woman?
heavens gate was a disaster , meeks cut off was terrible 15 others on there that were average , seen them not worth seeing again , where is John Waynes El dorado , Maverick 1993 , James garner support your local sheriff , my name is nobody , Silverado , tomb stone , james stewart far country even Charles bronsons break heart pass was better then most on the list
I agree with Tom - this list is not even funny but rather an insult to the intelligence.
Fantastic list! My taste and the author's are obviously very much aligned, as Pat Garret and Billy the Kid is the film that made me love westerns, as did McCabe and Mrs. MIller. And there is so much I haven't seen as yet, so I'm using this list to hunt down more westerns, and I've referred to this list many times now.
This list is the work of complete morons who do not understand the genre.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD LIST !! Aldo i don't necessarily agree with the numerical order. But thats just a matter of opinion
No Tombstone?
What about Broken Trail? Anything staring Robert Duval is top drawer in my mind. Open Range may, in actuality, be the best of them all.
a very good read also easy6 to transfer to computer
You left out SILVERADO and TOMBSTONE? Your number one selection is a joke.
Absurd, ludicrous. Shane at 24!? Unforgiven at 15!? I could go on and on ...
What about True Grit with John Wayne?
I agree with one of the other comments, your list is to stir controversy. To rate the Lonesome Dove series as 49th, well need I say more? If anyone actually reads this tripe, and wants to fee a part of a true western, you have to watch the whole series starting with Deadman's Walk(when Cpt. Call and the boys are just teens ) then Commanche Moon(young adults) Lonesome Dove(as men) Return to Lonesome Dove and Streets of Laradeo. Yes, its made for TV, but so what. We share in there lives from young men to loss of life as time goes by, mirroring our own personal journey through life. Get the full series its worth watching.
The inclusion of Meeks Cutoff only reinforces the fact that the whole list is drivel!!!!!
The fact that you put "the Outlaw Josey wales" over "Good bad and the ugly" AND "Unforgiven" is proof of what a poor movie critic you are.
it is very very clear you have no idea what you are talking about.
Leaving aside the fact that at least one of the films in this list is not a western at all rating McCabe & Mrs Miller as number one is I suppose an attempt to be controversial . As John Carpenter once observed re Altman 'There's experimentation and there's stumbling around in the swamp." This film illustrates his point .
the good the and ugly remake hugh jackman as the good hugh laurie as the ugly sam worthington as the bad
My top fifteen: 1.the Good the bad and the ugly 2The great silence 3.A bullet for the general 4.Red river 5. The wild bunch 6.django 7.for a few dollars more 8.how the west was won 9.the searchers 10.the outlaw josey wales 11.100 rifles 12.hang em high 13.3:10 to Yuma (remake) 14.arizona colt 15.Unforgiven
the great silence! I'm happy to see it made 32 and the list in general. This is actually a rather great list. Yet I think the great silence should be one!
Once Upon a Time in the West at 26? That is absurd. In my mind it is the best of all time. There is no movie soundtrack more beautiful and perfectly fit to a film than Morricone's. Don't try to get edgy or fancy with your picks...give credit where it is due. Also, no Jeremiah Johnson or The Big Country? "I told you I'd shoot...but you didnt believe me!"
Your list is missing a top 5 Western, Canyon Passage, and another Tourneur that's nearly as good, Wichita.
This list mixes TV movies/miniseries with cinema and then mixes classic Westerns with films expressing decidedly modern sensibilities. Let's establish reasonable parameters. Let's not rate anything made on television, which with the possible exception of 'Lonesome Dove' merit very little consideration anyway. Then, let's accept basic cinematic Western history: Westerns with modern sensibilities began with 'The Wild Bunch.' Nevertheless, it is considered a classic of the Western genre. Modern and classic Westerns should not be compared because they offer different approaches to story telling especially regards their use of violence. Further, movies about the military are War films: Just because a film has horses doesn't make it a western (how can anyone compare Rio Grande with Red River? I won't . Finally, Comedies aren't Westerns. So, the top ten Westerns: 1. The Searchers. Any list not placing this film 1st is baseless. John Ford director, John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter stars. 2. The Wild Bunch. Sam Peckinpah director, William Holden, Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine stars. 3. Once Upon a Time in the West. Sergio Leone director, Henry, Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards Jr, Claudia Cardinale stars. 4. Red River. Howard Hawks director, John Wayne, Montgomery Cliff, Walter Brennan stars. 5. Ride the High Country. Sam Peckinpah director, Joel McCrea, Randolph Scott stars. 6. Rio Bravo. Howard Hawks director, John Wayne, Dean Martin, Rickey Nelson, Walter Brennan stars. 7. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. John Ford director, John Wayne, James Stewart, Lee Marvin stars. 8. The Professionals. Richard Brooks director, Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode, Claudia Cardinale, Jack Palance stars. 9. My Darling Clementine. John Ford director, Henry Fonda, Linda Darnell, Walter Brennan, Victor Mature, Ward Bond, Tim Holt stars. 10. Shane and Stagecoach tied. Shane director George Stevens, Alan Ladd, Jack Palance, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin stars. Stagecoach director John Ford, John Wayne, Andy Devine, Thomas Mitchell, Clair Trevor, John Carradine stars. Arguably, the three greatest directors of the Western genre are John Ford, Sam Peckinpah, Howard Hawks with Ford considered by most critics to be the finest director of the genre. If we wish to consider modern Westerns, then the list probably ought to begin with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and include Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (Directors cut only), The Outlaw Jose Wales, Silverado, Tombstone, The Unforgiven, Quigley Down Under, and a couple of others.
Interesting list, but certainly a flawed one. While many on the list belong, I would certainly argue with the order. There also seems to be quite a few spaghetti westerns here as well. I would have liked to have seen some of the silents represented, The Great Train Robbery, Hell's Hinges, The Iron Horse, Tumbleweeds come to mind. And Johnny Depp's The Dead Man? Give me a break. I saw it and it was a horrible movie.
@micheal ,,i agree not a good list nor a bad one .. def a few missed and unforgiven should be within the top 10 but thats "my" opinion and i think thats the problem with this list the person who wrote it has listed "his" favs ...
The list isn't good, nor is it bad. I would agree that about 35-40 of the films on the list are really good westerns. The other 10-15 are arguable. Even worse are the films you didn't even mention. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Jeremiah Johnson, True Grit (2010), Tombstone, Silverado, The Big Country, They Died with Their Boots On, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, 3:10 to Yuma (remake), Hud, Hondo, Brokeback Mountain, A Fistful of Dollars, Cat Ballou, For a Few Dollars More, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood.
Seems like you had a lot of trouble coming up with 50 odd names already. Why don't you go and watch some more westerns, you might be able to put up a better list.
What? No Young Guns 2? ... Outrageous.
A pathetic top 50,magnificent 7num 48? Rio bravo 28,ur mad,where's the horse soldiers,they died with their boots on,tombstone,she wore a yellow ribbon and the sons of Katie elder to name a few,as was said before"art house nonsense"
Hmm. I love Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, but only as a hipster classic; it is so much of its time it is laughable (and rather gives away the vintage of those who have compiled this list). To rate it so far above Butch Cassidy (with which it shares much) is simple snobbery ( a kind of Dylan is cooler than Sacha Distel sort of thing). And of course everyone who knows movies knows that The Searchers is not only the greatest of all Westerns but also one of the very greatest movies of all time, which no-one would ever claim for McCabe and Mrs Miller, however interesting a picture that minor classi is (and it is).
dare I suggest that William Wyler's 'The Big Country' ought to be there too - somewhere in the middle 30s? the time out list seems to rate the allegorical western and this is one big cold world allegory with magnificent performances - especially by Burl Ives that makes it close to biblical in tone. wonderful music, big landscapes and the Peck Heston fight ought to be in soem ones best of list. And let's not forget the naughty horse!
You forgot Jeremiah Johnson and Rooster Cogburn and the Lady. JJ speaks for itself. Rooster Cogburn and the Lady isn't the best Western, but it does show JW at his absolute best as an actor. Also they way they depicted how a man and a woman could get along has influenced me.
You forgot Jeremiah Johnson!!!
nothing from ford's cavalry trilogy? walter hill's geronimo or long riders? run of the arrow, last of the mohicans...
The biggest omissions for me are Man of the West and Go West - both classy films. A good list though and loads of magic therein. Any western nuts should get themselves down to the Exhibit cinema in Balham - some guys run a western film club down there every month called "guns in the afternoon" which is the alternate title to ride the high country - watched Johnny Guitar on the big screen last week and it certainly changed my opinion of it - Joan Crawford how she is meant to be seen - on the big screen in full colour!
Congratulations Time Out, for having the Courage to put McCabe and Mrs Miller, one of the most majestic films of all time, at the top of your list. Similar praise is heaped upon your filmic heads for inserting Jarmusch's Dead man in the top six. However, you are not getting away with out some criticism. Having the good taste to champion Altman's masterpiece (well he made several), you could have endeavored to apprais the film more accurately. McCabe never planned to open a brothel with Mrs Miller; in fact he initially pimped three prostitutes before Mrs Miller arrived with a wagonfull of loose ladies. McCabe then took some persuading before setting up business with Ms Miller. Similarly, the three gunmen sent by the company, were paid assassins not company stooges. Sent to kill hill him. The attempt to persuade McCabe to sell had been made earlier(unsuccesfully due to McCabe's poor bartering technique) by two company reps. Otherwise it is a reasonable synopsis, though possibly more could have been made of Altman's comment on the Western myth that McCabe's refusal to confirm or deny his gun-shooting prowess. Congratulations once again.
Ignore the last comments on the next submission. I forgot it was Westerns only.
This list is rubbish, like a lot of the films that are on it. Where was The Last Command, with Sterling Haydn, John Lee Hancock's film The Alamo, which surrendered without a fight in the cinema despite being a superb film far more historically acurate that John Wayne's version. Not a single sword and sandals epic such as El Cid, not a single Bible film like Barabbas.
@David J: that you all agree on how bad Butch & Sundance is totally disqualifies you from even thinking about writing this list. This strikes me as the top Westerns as compiled by people who don't even like them. Agree wholeheartedly with those who lament the exclusion of the aforementioned, True Grit (2010), Tombstone, The Proposition and Silverado. Also, Ride With The Devil and No Country For Old Men??
I read on in horror as I realized there was no way they would have included Silverado in the top 10, nor Butch Cassidy in the top 5... my god, what have they done??
This list is slightly different to the list I would have compiled. I am appauled (sic) and sickened to my stomach. You have placed A Man Called Horse at number 38 when it is patently the 37th best Western of all time. You people make me want to defecate.
Just as I was beginning to wonder where McCabe & Mrs Miller was in your list of Top 50 Westerns , I tentatively clicked on Number 1 and , lo & behold , there was my own personal favourite ! For once , I agree wholeheartedly with you Time Out Good to see Dead Man in there as well Terry Maunder
Weird list. Watched McCabe just the other week. Yes It's underrated, but that does not make it the best Western ever. Not even the best Altman ever. Can't argue with Pat Garrett, though Wild Bunch drives it close. Obviously some of the order of the pictures here are all over the place. And all Leone Westerns should be here, especially what I consider his most underrated masterpiece A Fistfull Of Dynamite/Duck You Sucker, now that's a radical Western!
Disappointing. Your list is notable for its omissions (Where is Raoul Walsh's Pursued or William Wyler's The Westerner? for instance). I reckon My Darling Clementine should have been at the top.
A tunnel-visioned list for sure....So many great ones missing as mentioned by others and including The Proposition, which is much better than third of this list. Gotta give some credit to include 'The Great Silence', though the order is so out of whack for obviously well known films. Gotta Piss on this list.

Beethoven: Bagatelles
Studio Master: CDA67879 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Myra Hess – The complete solo and concerto studio recordings
APR7504 Download only
No 1 in G major: Andante con moto
No 2 in G minor: Allegro
No 3 in E flat major: Andante
No 4 in B minor: Presto
No 5 in G major: Quasi allegretto
No 6 in E flat major: Presto Andante amabile e con moto Tempo I
Unlike the composer's previous sets of Bagatelles, the six new pieces were clearly designed to form a unified cycle from the outset. They are alternately lyrical and introspective, and fast and dramatic, with the two threads drawn together in the final number; and their keys form a descending chain of thirds, beginning in G major and minor, and ending in E flat major. Throughout the set Beethoven treats his material with remarkable freedom, transforming it through intricate ornamentation, as in No 3, or by altering its register—whether downwards into the bass (as in Nos 1 and 6), or upwards (No 5). The final Bagatelle is framed by the identical abrupt passage in Presto tempo, which serves with impeccable logic as both a beginning and an ending. Between the prelude and postlude there unfolds a leisurely and expansive Andante which offers the strongest possible contrast, while at the same time beginning in the nature of a slow-motion account of the material that surrounds it. The reprise of the opening Presto seems to dismiss out of hand the profoundly expressive world of the music that has preceded it—a typically gruff gesture, and an altogether appropriate way for Beethoven to bow out as a composer of piano music.

|Flourless and sugar-free pistachio cookies, made with Stevia-in-the-Raw granulated sweetener or Splenda)
(Updated and added to Christmas Recipes, December 2009.) I'm excited to announce that Kalyn's Kitchen is one of the blogs being featured as part of Holiday 2009 at Oprah.com, and this is one of the recipes being featured there, and is also part of the Christmas Recipes on Kalyn's Kitchen. Welcome to anyone visiting from Oprah.com!)
This cookie recipe is especially for anyone who's trying to avoid the sugar blues this holiday. The photo is rather deceptive, so for the record it's a tiny plate, a macro lens on the camera, and these are tiny little cookies, but loaded with flavor. I found the recipe on a great blog called The Italian Dish, who got it from II Viaggio Di Vetri: A Culinary Journey by Marc Vetri, and apparently the cookies are served in his Philadelphia restaurant, Vendi.
Flourless Sugar-Free Pistachio Cookies
(Makes 40-50 small cookies, recipe adapted from II Viaggio Di Vetri: A Culinary Journey, found via The Italian Dish.)
3/4 cup (4 oz.) shelled pistachio nuts, plus about 50 nuts to garnish top of cookies (I used dry-roasted pistachio kernels from Costco)
2 T plus 1 cup Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener (or use a blend of Splenda/Stevia and sugar or all sugar if you prefer)
1 2/3 cup almond meal (sometimes called almond flour, although they're slightly different)
2 eggs, beaten well
Preheat the oven to 325F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop a small spoonfuls of dough and roll between your hands to make a small ball about an inch in diameter. (I used a teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the dough.) Put each ball on the parchment, smash down slightly, then press one pistachio into the center.
Bake cookies until they are lightly browned on the edges, about 12-15 minutes in my toaster oven. Let cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer to cooling rack or dish towel and let cool.
My cookies didn't spread out much, probably due to the denser texture from the almond meal. Seems to me this recipe would also be very adaptable to other types of nuts; I'd love to know if anyone tries some variations.
