There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Vietnam. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to increasing petty crime targeting foreigners.
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.
Petty crime against tourists is increasing, particularly in the larger cities. Although violent crimes such as armed robbery are still relatively rare in Vietnam, perpetrators have grown increasingly bold. Knives and razors have been used in attempted robberies in Ho Chi Minh City. Motorcyclists grab bags and other valuables from pedestrians and from passengers or drivers on motorbikes; this often results in injury to the victim. Hotels and tourist areas are more likely to be targeted by criminals. Thefts also occur on crowded buses and trains and in shopping centres and markets. Bag slashing is a frequent occurrence in crowded streets and markets. Avoid showing signs of affluence and ensure that your personal belongings and passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
When leaving the airport, you should only use authorized airport taxis or hotel transportation. Authorized taxi companies usually have operators posted at airports who are responsible for monitoring taxi services. These companies publish the taxi driver's name and vehicle number on a card that should be affixed to the windshield (in front of the driver's seat). Individuals posing as taxi drivers have targeted foreign visitors at Hanoi airport and robbed them by forcing them to withdraw money from automatic banking machines. Travellers have also been robbed by drivers who greeted them upon arrival with a placard showing their name. If you are expecting to be picked up, ask for your driver's name, phone number and licence plate number before you travel. Be familiar with your hotel's address and neighbouring landmarks because taxi drivers have taken unaware visitors to the wrong establishment, in order to receive a commission. Never share a taxi with a stranger.
Threats of physical injury related to personal disputes occasionally occur. If you are in this position, contact the local police and the closest Canadian government office immediately.
Both tourists and expatriates have been targeted by credit card forgery crime. Avoid using your credit card in smaller establishments, and pay careful attention when others are handling your card. Consider obtaining a second card, with a low credit limit, for use during your stay in Asia.
Tourists have been victims of gambling scams in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (particularly in the Pham Ngu Lao neighbourhood). This scam usually starts with a friendly invitation to someone's home to meet a relative interested in visiting or studying in Canada. While the visitor is waiting for this individual, a casual game of cards will begin. Even though they started with only a small wager, victims have reported losing thousands of dollars over the course of an evening.
Public demonstrations are generally not tolerated in Vietnam and can carry heavy penalties, including lengthy jail sentences. Avoid demonstrations and follow the advice of local authorities.
Traffic accidents occur frequently, often causing death or serious injury. Motorcycle riders and pedestrians are common victims. Driving standards are poor, vehicles and roads are often badly maintained, and roads in major cities are congested. Rain can flood potholes and roads, especially those in the north, can become impassable during the rainy season. Travelling after dark is dangerous.
Driving without a Vietnamese driver's licence is illegal. If you are involved in a traffic accident, you may face criminal charges and have to pay compensation if someone is injured. You may be prohibited from leaving the country before paying this compensation. Hiring a car and driver for personal transportation is strongly recommended. Rent a motorcycle only if you are accustomed to local driving standards and be aware that insurance is not included with these rentals. Motorcycle taxis (known as "xe oms") are unsafe and should be avoided.
Bus accidents are not uncommon. A number of fatal boat accidents have occurred in past years, some in Halong Bay. Ensure that your tour operator follows up-to-date safety regulations.
Keep ticket stubs at all times when travelling by train, as they are required when exiting the train station. Passengers without a ticket stub will be required to pay the fare again.
See Transportation Safety in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Pirate attacks occur in coastal waters and, in some cases, further out at sea. Mariners should take appropriate precautions. For additional information, consult the Live Piracy & Armed Robbery Report, published by the International Maritime Bureau.
Travel near military facilities in some parts of the central highlands and in some border areas is restricted.
Unexploded landmines are a hazard in some rural areas of central Vietnam.
Improper farming and production practices, as well as overall poor hygiene in food preparation, make food safety a concern. Exercise a high degree of caution, particularly when consuming street food and beverages containing ice cubes. Avoid drinking non-bottled water.
Never leave your food or drink unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery. Do not purchase liquor from street vendors, as the quality cannot be assured.
Hotel rooms and electronic communications may be monitored. Hotel staff require your passport in order to register it with local authorities. The staff may insist on keeping your passport until your departure, but there is no legal reason for them to do so. You may request the return of your passport once it has been registered.
Dial 113 to reach police, 114 for firefighters and 115 for ambulance.
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 Vietnamese authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 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 Vietnam, which must be valid for at least one month beyond the expiry date of 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 be in possession of a visa to enter Vietnam. Visas should be obtained prior to arrival. Extensions can be obtained from the Vietnam Immigration Department in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City or, for a fee, from some local travel agencies and tour companies.
A visa may be issued on arrival in emergency situations. Contact the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for more information.
Vietnamese visas in expired Canadian passports are no longer valid. The visa needs to be transferred to the new passport.
Tourist visa: Required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Travellers must register with the local police upon arrival, even if staying with relatives. Hotel guests are automatically registered.
Dual citizenship is recognized in limited circumstances. Canadian officials may be limited in their ability to provide consular services. You should travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times. Consult Dual Citizenship: What You Need to Know to Know for more information.
Travellers entering the country are subject to a body temperature check and, in some cases, may be quarantined for medical observation if they show flu-like symptoms.
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.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. See Children for more information.
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 through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. 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, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture 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 by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. 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 a large amount of time outdoors) while travelling in regions with risk of Japanese encephalitis.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected 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).
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from 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 Southeast Asia, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Southeast Asia. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Cholera is a bacterial disease that is most often spread by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated. It causes diarrhea and in severe cases it can lead to dehydration and even death.
Most travellers are at very low risk. Travellers at higher risk include those visiting, working or living in areas with limited access to safe food, water and proper sanitation, or to areas where outbreaks are occurring. Travellers at higher risk should discuss with a health care provider the benefits of getting vaccinated.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
In Southeastern Asia, certain insects carry and spread diseases like chikungunya, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, lymphatic filariasis, and malaria.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in some areas in Southeastern Asia, like avian influenza and rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
There have been human cases of avian influenza in this country. Avian influenza is a viral infection that can spread quickly and easily among birds and in rare cases, it can infect people.
Avoid high risk areas such as poultry farms and live animal markets including areas where poultry may be slaughtered. Avoid contact with birds (alive or dead) and surfaces that may have bird droppings or secretions on them. Ensure all poultry dishes, including eggs, are well 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 or medication that protects against this disease.
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.
For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.
Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care provider.
High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.
Health-care services are below Canadian standards. Medical facilities and supplies are limited outside of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Serious medical problems may require evacuation.
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. See Arrest and detention for more information.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict and include the death penalty.
Penalties for drinking and driving are strict. Convicted offenders can expect heavy fines and jail sentences.
Gambling outside of licensed casinos is illegal in Vietnam.
Photography of military installations and border crossings is prohibited.
Involvement in politics, possession of political or sexually explicit material, or involvement in an unsanctioned religious activity can result in detention. Participation in a public demonstration is generally not tolerated in Vietnam and can carry heavy penalties, including lengthy jail sentences.
Visitors are not allowed to invite Vietnamese nationals of the opposite sex into their hotel rooms to stay overnight. Visitors are allowed to stay with a Vietnamese family, providing they have obtained permission from local authorities. It is the responsibility of the Vietnamese host to register their foreign guests with local authorities.
Cash in excess of US$5,000, or the equivalent in any other foreign currency, must be declared upon arrival. Anyone arriving in the country with more than 300 grams of gold, including jewellery, gold bar and raw gold, must also make a declaration.
Vietnamese law restricts the export of antiques, but these laws are vague and unevenly enforced. If you purchase non-antique items of value, retain receipts and confirmation from shop owners and/or the Ministry of Culture and the Vietnam General Department of Customs to prevent seizure of your items upon departure.
You must hold a valid Vietnamese driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle in Vietnam, including motorcycles of 50cc or more. You can apply for a Vietnamese driver's licence at an office of the Department of Public Works and Transportation in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear a helmet.
The currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND). U.S. dollar traveller's cheques cannot be exchanged outside major cities and tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted at major hotels throughout the country, as well as at an increasing number of restaurants and shops. Automated banking machines are available throughout Vietnam.
The rainy (or monsoon) season extends from June to September in the north and south, and from October to December in central Vietnam. Severe rainstorms can cause flooding and landslides. Seasonal flooding occurs in October and November in central Vietnam. Flooding is common in and around Hanoi, particularly along the Red River, and in the Mekong River Delta regions in the south.
Typhoons usually occur between June and December and affect primarily central and northern Vietnam. These storms can result in significant loss of life and extensive damage to infrastructure, and can hamper the provision of essential services. Monitor local news and weather reports, avoid disaster areas and follow the advice of local authorities. Consult our Typhoons and monsoons page for more information.

L.A. County Dedicates First Green Library
Whittier is now home to Los Angeles County's first green library, which was dedicated last week and opened at the beginning of October. The Sorensen Library received a LEED silver rating. It is made entirely of steel and 40% recycled materials. The roof reduces heat gain, and the interior lighting is engineered to only turn on when natural light is insufficient. Even the parking lot is built to minimize environmental impact - it absorbs rainwater in order to reduce the toxins in Santa Monica Bay. The library is part of the County's Sustainable Design Implementation program.

Getting your kids ready for school is no easy task. Right now, with school just starting, it will take a little while to get into the groove of making lunches and being sure homework makes it into the book bag. Not to mention getting your kids to eat breakfast while still having time to brush your own teeth — let alone fix your hair!
Maria Paonessa, mother of five and co-owner of Compagnia della Bellezza hair salon in Old Town, knows the feeling. She knows what its like to be in such a time crunch, all you feel like doing is putting on a hat and running out the door. "Believe me, a few simple tricks and you'll be looking your best all the time. And trust me, you never seem to have enough time for yourself, so if you can master a few simple techniques you'll be all set," says Ms. Paonessa. "You really need to make sure you have some basic supplies, and stick to what looks best for your facial shape and size," says Paolo Bivona, Paonessa's business partner. He suggests a low pony, with a little hair falling out around your face, to give a lift near the jawline.
Some additional tips from Ms. Paonessa and Mr. Bivona:
1. Lighten Locks Instantly: If scalp grease (or too many products) have left your light hair looking like dirty dishwater, sprinkle translucent powder over roots and brush through.
2. Depuff Your 'Do in a Flash: To flatten frizz, dampen hands with water and a drop of hand lotion. Then, gently pull hair back into a French twist. Wait 10 minutes, and take your strands down. Voilà — fuzz free!
3. Focus on the Front: When you're strapped for time, do the T-zone blow-dry — only dry around the hairline and part. "As long as the front and top of your hair looks finished," says Mr. Bivona, "so will you."
4. Pull It Together with a Ponytail: There's nothing wrong with resorting to a ponytail — after all, it's the ultimate easy style. Pull hair back haphazardly with your fingers and spritz with hairspray. Twist a stray tendril around your hair elastic and pin.
5. Find Out What Style and Color Are Right for You: You can look years younger, and more polished, if hair color and skin tone compliment each other.
Products you already have for achieving great, quick looks:
- Sunscreen (adds volume, protects color)
- Baby powder
- Ponytail holder or rubber band
- Bobby pins
Tools for achieving great, quick looks:
- 1-inch flat iron
- Teasing comb
- Medium round brush
Pro recommended products for purchase:
- Brocato Big Easy dry shampoo
- Brocato Back to the Beach spray texturizer
- Brocato Kurl Karma for Curly hair
- Brocato Kurl Interrupted for smoothing
- Brocato Actives for anti frizz and hair spray
For appointments, contact the salon directly at 312-944-6747 Tuesday-Saturday.

Hi and welcome.
My name's Julieanne Kost, and in the next few minutes we're going to talk about
many of the enhancements that were made in Photoshop CS6
to the layers panel.
I don't know about you, but I spend probably 90% of my time in the layers panel,
so all of these shortcuts are just fantastic additions, in my opinion.
The first one that we'll start with is actually a new panel,
but it works in tandem with the layers panel,
and that's the properties panel.
And you'll notice that when I click on a layer--for example, here I'll click on
a curves adjustment layer, the options for that panel appear
right there in the properties panel.
But what's really nice--because before we had the adjustments panel
and it kind of had this dual toggle mode and then we also had the masks panel--
now we really have just the properties panel, which will automatically swap out
based on what you click on.
When I come down here to, say, a layer that has a photograph on it,
I get the options for that.
When I go over to the mask, I get the options for the mask panel.
So for me it's really convenient having all of the properties for
whatever it is I'm clicking on right above that in the layers panel.
So I'm super excited about that.
The other thing that's nice about the properties panel is that you can actually
make this as large as you want.
I can scoot this out, and then we can click back on that curves adjustment layer,
and you can see how much larger that makes the curve
so that I can make those really fine adjustments.
Obviously, on a bigger screen we would be able to see this even larger.
Okay, let's go ahead and I'm going to double-click on the properties panel
just to close that for a minute.
Let's go ahead and select a different layer.
Now, I'm going to click down here on this smart object layer,
because I want to show you another great addition,
and that is when you're transforming your images, whether you're making them
larger or smaller and whether or not you're using image size or free transform.
Let me just show you; when I do a command or control T, there's now
and interpolation right here.
So I can switch from, maybe, Bicubic Smoother to Sharper
or, better yet, I can just set this to Bicubic Automatic, and that way if I make the image larger
Photoshop will automatically choose the correct algorithm and if I make it smaller
it will choose the correct algorithm.
Now, I'll escape out of here for a minute because I do want to go into the
preferences and show you that this is also an application-wide preference here
for image interpolation.
So I've got mine set to the bicubic automatic.
All right, since we were on the topic of smart objects--
it used to be that when you were in the middle of transforming a smart object,
the smart object itself--this icon in the layers panel--it disappeared,
and so it caused a little bit of confusion for customers.
So now it's really nice--when I'm free transforming, that icon just stays put.
All right, I'll go ahead and escape out of there,
but while we're talking about visual feedback on the layers panel,
I'll just point out that this layer right here has a new icon, and
that is the icon for the Blend If sliders.
I just double-clicked on it; that's how I got the Layer Style dialog box.
You can see that I've made a change here to the underlying layer.
In previous versions, there was no real way to know or--certainly I was never
remembering whether or not I had used these, so it's really nice to have that
visual clue right here.
In addition, you'll notice, like, the layer underneath it--you'll see that I've got it hidden.
The eye icon is not toggled on.
But if I click on that layer, it will actually show me the correct blend mode
and opacity, which is really nice.
Photoshop wouldn't have done that in the past.
While we're on the topic of blend modes, let's just scroll down and
select these four layers right here.
Well, I can now change not only the opacity for all of my selected layers
but also the blend mode for all of my selected layers at once.
So I'll just undo that, but that's going to come in really handy.
While we're talking about making changes to multiple layers,
you'll notice that I can lock multiple selected layers at once as well.
And if I right mouse click on the eye icon,
you'll notice that I can also change the color of multiple layers at once.
Now, one of the little things that's always bothered me in the last few versions
once we were able to select multiple layers,
is that I could use the keyboard shortcut command or control J
to duplicate a layer, but I couldn't use it to duplicate multiple layers
or layer groups.
But now I can, so for example, if I select these three layers right up here
and I want to duplicate them, command or control J will duplicate all three at once.
All right. Let me undo that.
I'll come down here to this group, and again I can use command or control J
and you can see now that I've duplicated that entire group with a single keystroke.
So that's certainly going to save me some time.
Now, as my layers panel gets more and more complicated,
it becomes more difficult, especially on a small screen,
to find the layers that I'm looking for.
You'll notice up here at the top of the layers panel we can now search
through all of our different layers, and there's a variety of different ways
that you can search.
I think probably one of the most effective ways is going to be by kind.
So if I just want to see all of my pixel-based layers,
I can quickly search and filter on them.
Or if I just want to see adjustment layers or any of my type layers--
and look, that type layer was actually in a group that's not even visible,
and yet Photoshop found it.
Photoshop can also filter for my shape layers,
and it can filter for any smart objects.
So you can see that finding the exact layer I need
is going to be much easier in Photoshop CS6.
Okay, let's switch over to this next file, because I want to show you
that you can now clip layers to a group.
So I have a group here.
It's just the three circles, and I'd like to duplicate this layer zero,
so I'll use command J to duplicate it.
And then I'm going to reposition it on top of the group outside of the group.
But I want to display this copy.
In fact, I want to display this copy at 100% but only within those circles.
So I want to clip layer zero copy to the group.
In order to do this, I'll hold down the option or the alt key and simply click,
in the lines between the two layers,
and now I've got a single layer clipped to a group.
And while they were making changes to groups,
they also added the ability to apply a layer style to a group.
So if I select the group, come down to the effects icon,
and want to add a stroke around each one of these circles,
we can make this rather large just to make sure we can see it.
And now you can see that that effect--I didn't have to apply it to each
individual shape layer; I could simply apply it to the group itself.
Now, as I add more effects and styles and groups,
one of the nice things to be able to do would be able to close those all at once.
So if you option-click on the disclosure triangle here,
you'll notice that it will toggle all of the effects throughout
your entire document closed at one time.
And if you're ever in the position where, when you're working with effects--
like right down here--if you wanted to actually rasterize that effect
into the layer, in previous versions of Photoshop
you could always right mouse click and you could rasterize the layer style,
but it would separate it out into maybe 2 or 3 layers.
Now I can simply click Rasterize Layer Style, and Photoshop will go ahead
and rasterize the style into the pixel-based document.
So that's quite nice.
There's fewer layers that I would have to manage that way.
And, finally, the last keyboard shortcut--I'll just move up to the next layer here.
You know, you could always--if you had the Move tool selected or any of these
top six tools, you could tap the keyboard shortcut, like 4 to get 40%
or you could type 55 to get 55%, but there was actually no keyboard shortcut
to get it to 0%, but now there is.
You can tap zero to get it to 100% or tap 00 quickly to go ahead and decrease
the opacity of the layer to 0%,
basically hiding it but not having to use the eye icon to do so.
So as you can see, there have been a ton of small enhancements
made to the layers panel, which is going to save me a ton of time
and make me much more efficient in Photoshop CS6.
My name is Julieanne Kost. Thanks for watching.

Like most teachers across the state, Matthew Rodante, a CMS math teacher had spent the past couple weeks reviewing numerous TCAP standardized questions and how to best answer the problems. From state issued practice tests to stations to computer assessments to text books to game review, his students had completed just about every form of practice possible.
With a beautiful day forecasted for this past Friday, Rodante took advantage of the opportunity to give his students a break from the inside of his cinder block classroom while practicing the standards on which his students would be tested.
After a brief homework review, the students took their pencils, calculators and activity sheet down to the outdoor classroom. Rodante provided meter sticks and measuring tape for students to complete a number of real-life applications problems involving area, volume, decimals and estimation.
The students enjoyed the much needed breath of fresh air before four days of TCAP testing this week. Hopefully, the scores will positively reflect the students' quality effort this school year!

GTINs come in handy when the Food and Drug Administration is trying to find the source of an outbreak of foodborne illness.
"Within seconds, you'll be able to help them with their investigation," Fleming said.
That's quite a difference from the past, when it might take weeks to sort through thousands of paper purchase orders stored in a filing cabinet.
"In a commodity industry like produce, we're guilty by association," Fleming said. "The PTI not only minimizes the amount of product that you have to pull from the supply chain, it also clears you from being guilty by association."

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.
TechFest in September is Aberdeen and the North-East Scotland's annual festival of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and is widely acknowledged as a major event in the annual calendar of the region. The festival aims to promote STEM subjects to young people and to the wider community by providing an accessible, diverse and entertaining programme. TechFest in September is highly regarded as a key event within education, industry and the wider community.
This talk will focus on clues to understanding our pets and how they communicate. Topics to be discussed include modes of communication including body language and behaviour; distinguishing normal behaviour from learned behaviour or a medical problem; special attention will be given to the most common behavioral complaints; anxiety and aggression; and, finally, a brief introduction to recent studies into animals' behaviour. There will be a question and answer session following the talk.
Manchester Science Festival is an annual nine-day, multi-venue festival that engages and inspires people with science, building their confidence in exploring and questioning science in the most creative ways possible.
Wednesday nights in Aberdeen just got interesting: Satrosphere Science Centre is being taken over by students!

Waters has come to see food as an engine of social and political change. A few blocks from the restaurant is the Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, where, since 1996, Waters has been funding the Edible Schoolyard, teaching children to grow and prepare their own produce. Waters is also a director of Slow Food, a movement that makes connections between food quality, the environment, and social justice.
But ultimately it all comes back to the skillful interweaving of high quality and doing the right thing. Waters and I are sitting at a little marble table. On it is a delicate glass carafe etched with a wreath design and the words chez panisse and still. It's one of the bottles that the restaurant ordered from Bell'occhio (a local shop) when Waters decided to stop serving bottled water and instead serve filtered tap water, still or sparkling. "It was something I'd always thought about, that I'd wanted to do. Why are we bringing all this water over from Italy?" She didn't act on that thought until a friend who was publicizing a book about the politics of water suggested that Waters take the leap. "And I said, 'We'll do it. We'll do it now.'"
Later, when I'm dining at Chez Panisse with a friend—deeply immersed in a meal that starts with North African–style vegetable salads and moves at a measured pace through Alaskan halibut, quail couscous, and a fig tart—I find myself thinking about the water bottle. It's right there on our table. It's simply a gorgeous object. It's certainly prettier than a Pellegrino or Perrier bottle. I realize that Waters has performed alchemy. She's managed to turn her bottled-water ban from a prohibition to a celebration.
In the future, San Francisco will likely have a plethora of green landmarks. A new Transbay Tower downtown, the height of the Empire State Building, might be topped by a wind turbine. Scheduled completion date: 2014. Treasure Island, in the middle of the Bay, will be developed with a couple of iconic towers, solar and wind-generated power, and a 20-acre organic farm. "The most sustainable, greenest development of its kind in the United States," Mayor Newsom predicts. Scheduled completion date: 2022. Until then, the best symbol of green San Francisco—of the enlightened 21st-century city where virtue and pleasure are one and the same—can be found right here on my dinner table in Berkeley.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

In most markets except for grapes, BASF will slowly replace Pristine with Merivon or Priaxor, says Steve Broscious, technical market manager.
In the other crops, Merivon provides better disease control than Pristiine and that's why the company plans to phase out Pristine, he says.
In grapes, BASF researchers didn't see significant disease control improvements with Merivon. So Pristine will remain in the grape market, Broscious says.
In Florida strawberries, Merivon controls botrytis gray mold, including those strains with multiple resistance to boscalid and QoIs.
"It's effective on those strains of botrytis, so we see big things there," Broscious says. "It's the number 1 product in terms of the length of post-harvest disease control.
"But I think growers need to be careful to manage their modes of action."
Although the label recommends making no more than two consecutive applications of Merivon before rotating to a different mode of action, Broscious says he'd prefer to see only one application before switching to further reduce the chances of resistance developing.

How others treat us is greatly influenced by the way we see ourselves. We all know people who genuinely like themselves and feel content with their lives. Because they see the positive in themselves, they are able to understand and appreciate the good in other people. They treat others with a sense of respect – a skill they know well because this is how they treat themselves. When our feelings about ourselves are positive, we show others that we like and value ourselves – and then others tend to treat us well. But when we have negative feelings about ourselves, so that we are too critical, complaining and pessimistic, others tend to take this attitude toward us as well. How we treat ourselves helps determine how others will treat us.
The thoughts we have about ourselves, or how we define ourselves, contribute to our self-image. The feelings we have about these thoughts, whether these feelings are good or bad, are the building blocks of our self-esteem. Our self-image, and gradually our self-esteem, can be molded by our parents, family, friends, physical or intellectual abilities, education, and jobs. Just as we have definitions for most things in the world, we also have definitions of ourselves. We come to define ourselves the way others define us. Thus, if others treat us with love and kindness, as if we are special and unique people, then we will eventually define ourselves in this way as well. On the other hand, if other people treat us as if we are a bother to have around and not worth much, then we will also come to see ourselves in this way.
Some people confuse healthy positive self-esteem with audacity or arrogance, a false sense of superiority over other people. True self-esteem, however, means that we do not have to assert ourselves at the expense of other people. Indeed, it is those with negative self-esteem who must resort to the tactic of exaggerating their own worth, usually by putting other people down. Those with positive self-esteem can acknowledge their own worth and also validate the positive qualities of others.
Techniques for Creating Positive Self-Esteem
• Work on Your Private Thoughts
How we feel about ourselves privately, whether these feelings are positive or negative, influences how we interpret our own actions, the decisions we make, the goals we set for ourselves, and how we relate to other people. Negative internal feelings usually lead to lower expectations and achievements, while positive definitions usually result in higher aspirations. Consider some of the following ways in which these private, internal thoughts can be modified.
• Examine your unrealistic expectations. Negative self-esteem is driven by thoughts couched in "shoulds," "oughts," and "musts." These words imply that we should be something other than what we are. A more positive approach is to replace these words with "wants." Instead of saying self-punitively, "I should be a better friend," it may be helpful to change the thought to: "I want to be a better friend."
• Accept the fact that history cannot be changed. We often punish ourselves endlessly for certain regrettable actions we have taken in the past – and this feeds our negative self-esteem. But we all make mistakes, and we can learn from them. In fact, the positive spin on this is that we, as fallible humans, must make mistakes in life – and perhaps we should be thankful that we have made them, for how else would we acquire wisdom and learn the route to a happier life? History cannot be undone, but we can focus on the present and future, drawing on our power to create the life we choose for ourselves.
• Reflect on the good experiences in your life. Instead of dwelling our on flaws, it is more helpful to think about what is good in our lives. Think about your successes rather than your failures. We all have life experiences that make us feel good. Define yourself in terms of these positive experiences. Nearly every negative thought can be turned into a positive. For example, if you are in a financial crisis, it's not the end of the world – because now you can get in touch with simpler pleasures and more meaningful experiences. If a friend has rejected you, you are now free to spend your time with other friends who will treat you well..
• Set positive goals for the future. Examine your personal needs, desires, assets and abilities – and think of how you can use them to achieve the life you want for yourself. Commit yourself to having the best life you can have – without feeling that you have to achieve perfection. Make your goals realistic and achievable, and work toward them, step by step, enjoying the successes and overcoming the occasional stumbles. Draw on the positive within yourself – with an awareness of how the old negative tendencies may show themselves. Setting positive goals draws on, and reinforces, your positive self-esteem and reminds you of the power you have to set your own course.

Extra-terrestials, aliens, otherworldy beings – however you describe them, they sure do make for great movie subjects. Here are 25 of the best worthy of your earthling eyes.
It wouldn't be an alien film list without Ridley Scott's horrific vision of that place where no-one can hear you scream. The titular creature – a Freudian nightmare designed by HR Giger – was never so terrifying in the sequels as when it stalks the unfortunate crew of the Nostromo. Fun fact: the role of Ripley was originally written as a man. That scene in which Sigourney Weaver wanders around in her pants at the end wouldn't have had quite the same effect on audiences as a hairy bloke in Y-fronts.
Ridley Scott will be trying to top Alien with his prequel, Prometheus – coming out in June.
More after the break...

Great List, however, I agree Aliens should have made it in there!
Submitted by madpimp on Sat, 2013-07-20 01:12.
hmmmmmm where is Aliens (Alien 2)
Should have taken top spot.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Pool Report #3
The motorcade is on the move across the island.
Highlights from the speech.
The President, who looked relaxed and happy, got a standing ovation and cheers when he entered the room.
"He was wearing a blue blazer, shirt and slacks. "It is wonderful to be here, not just because the weather is perfect. This has been a little trip down memory lane. I actually have class mates who are here
"It is great to be home. Michelle and the girls will be back shortly for Christmas vacation as we do every year.
"We will see if Washington gets its business done so I can get here as well."
"There was a reason why so many of you worked so hard, poured your hearts into our campaign in 2008. Obviously there was a little bias here in Honolulu and Hawaii about the hometown kid.
"I don't think if you were looking for an easy campaign you would have decided to support Barack Hussein Obama for president."
"The campaign wasn't about me, It was about a vision that we shared for America. It wasn't a narrow cramped vision of an America where everybody is left to fend for themselves. It was a vision of a big bold America where we look out for one another..
"The more Americans succeed the more America succeeds that is the vision that we shared, that is the change that we believed in."
"Change is the first bill I signed into law, a law that says an equal day's work should mean an equal day's pay. Because our daughters deserve the same opportunities that our sons do."
Change is the decision we made, not a popular one at the time, to save the auto industry from collapse.
"We are now seeing fuel efficient cars rolling of the assembly lines stamped with three proud words: "Made in America."
"Change is health care reform."By the way is the one million young Americans who are already receiving insurance that weren't getting before. They can now stay on their parents health insurance until the are 26 years old."
"Change is keeping one of the first promises that I made in my campaign in 2008. We are bringing the war in Iraq to a close."
The president mentioned that Osama bin Laden would walk the earth no longer and said he was asked at a press conference yesterday about waterboarding. "We don't need to resort to that in order to protect our homeland."
"We have got so much more work to do everything we fought for in the last election is now at stake in the next election."
He said what Americans don't understand is "leaders who refuse to take action. They don't understand a Congress that can't seem to move with a sense of urgency about the problems that America is facing.
"What they are sick and tired of is watching the people who are supposed to represent them putting party before country.
"President Kennedy used to say that after he took office that what surprised him most about Washington was that things were just as bad as he had been saying they were. I can relate."
Obama the Republicans in Congress who he said had made it their number one priority to defeat him in the election instead of creating jobs. And he also took aim at the Republican debates.
"To their credit, they are not hiding. Watch these debates" Obama said, before going on to repeat his call for the wealthiest Americans to do a little more "to make this counry stronger."
He then spoke about his late grandmother."It was only a couple of years ago when I was here watching my grandmother fade away. She had had a successful career at the Bank of Hawaii, She had the kind of retirement that a lot of people don't have these days but knowing that Medicare was there for her made all the difference in the world."
"This is not abstraction. Everybody here has a family member who knows how important that is."

The Organic Center, a Washington, D.C.-based research and education organization, is funding a project to research antibiotic-free fire blight management strategies for organic production of apples and pears.
"This project will play a vital role in ensuring that apple and pear growers are able to continue their organic operations without losing trees to fire blight," Jessica Shade, the director of science programs for the center, said in a news release.
Fire blight presents a significant threat to $300 million (retail value) organic apple and pear production, and the release said growers are concerned they will no longer be allowed to use oxytetracycline to prevent the disease as of October 2014.
Washington, which leads the U.S. in organic apple and pear production, has more than 15,000 acres in organic orchards, according to the release. According to grower surveys conducted by David Granatstein, sustainable agriculture specialist at Washington State University, between 70% to 90% of organic and pear producers may switch to non-organic growing methods if an alternative control is not available by the time oxytetracycline use expires.
"Based on Washington State surveys, many organic growers do not feel that there are suitable replacements to antibiotics yet, and are thus considering reducing their organic apple or pear production due to the risk that fire blight poses," Granatstein said in the release.
The Organic Center is funding a project in collaboration with Granatstein and Harold Ostenson to research integrative antibiotic-free management strategies, according to the release.
The project will help growers cope with the challenge presented by the 2014 expiration of oxytetracycline. Shade said the project has been supported by multiple organic produce marketers in the industry. For more information, contact Jessica Shade, or Phil Gruszka at 661-345-5457.
