"Japanese governmental statistics tell us that there were only 5,545 recorded international marriages in 1980. This more than doubled in 1985 when 12,181 international marriages were recorded. The figure doubled again 5 years later in 1990 with 25,626 marriages consisting of one foreign national. The number has steadily increased since then. It reached its peak in 2001 with 39,727 interracial marriages – this is 7 times the 1980 figure.
Multiracial individuals or more specifically Hafus are therefore growing dramatically in Japan. Owing to the fact that data on ethnic/racial background is not collected anywhere in the Census in Japan (i.e. only nationality), it is hard to say exactly how many Hafus or mixed 'race' individuals live in Japan. However in 2004 we know that there were 39,511 international marriages, which accounted for about 5.5% of all marriages in Japan. A high number of them were between Japanese and Chinese (13,019), Philippines (8,517) and Korean (8,023) individuals.
There were only 1,679 American Japanese, 524 Brazilian Japanese, 403 British Japanese marriages. So we can say that visible Hafus are a minority of the minority. The number of foreign nationals living in Japan has increased in recently years. In 1985, about 850,000 foreigners lived in Japan. That figure doubled to 1,700,000 in the year 2000. Over the last few years the number has been steadily growing and in 2006 there were about 2,100,000 residents with foreign nationality. Therefore the number of foreigners in Japan in 2006 was almost three times that in 1985. This is a firm indication of Japan's increasing internationalization."

A Walk Around Kyushu Day 58 Takeo Onsen to Kashima
A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 58, Takeo Onsen to Kashima
Sunday February 16th 2014
I head off in the dark as I have a long distance to cover before I reach my room I've booked in Kashima tonight. On the top of a hill to the south of the town I come to my first port of call, the Saga Prefecture Space & Science Museum.
I have heard that the museum is quite good, but I am far too early to be able to go inside and anyway it is the architecture that interests me. Like so many of these provincial museums, the architects have indulged themselves and created a modernist collage of protruding shapes and geometric solids reminiscent of a Sci-Fi movie rendered space structure, freed from gravity.
I have attended many village shrine ceremonies over the years, and it is always just men. I have yet to see a woman at such an event. As I get close to Ureshino I reach a bigger road and pass under an expressway. I find the place I have been eagerly anticipating, the Ureshino Hihokan, which translates as "Museum of Hidden Treasures," a euphemism for sex museum.
It would be hard to know what it was if you didn't read Japanese, as there was not a lot of signage, the most visible thing being a large golden statue of the Buddhist deity Kannon flanked by a pair of Nio which made the building appear to be some sort of religious structure.
There used to be a lot more of these places, many, like this one, in hot spring resorts, but they are disappearing. This one will be closing next month so I was glad of the opportunity to visit. A full report with photos can be found here.
For now I will just say that it was fascinating and over the top kitsch, though it also had many example of the traditional stone phalli that I continue to seek out on my explorations of the backwaters of Japan.
A few minutes after leaving the Hihokan I leave the main road and take a smaller road towards the coast. All morning I had been climbing slightly, but now the road starts to descend. I notice a lot of houses have thatched roofs, rather the thatched roofs that have been covered over with tin. I am not sure when they started to do that, and you will also sometimes see a thatched roof that has been covered in tile. I do see a couple with the thatch uncovered, and one is a very large house with relatively new thatch.
At the junction in the road that leads to Yoshida the bus stop is in the shape of a tea pot. Yoshida is known for its ceramics. As I reach the coastal plain I can see Kashima ahead, a decent sized town by the look of it. There are two pilgrimage temples nearby as well as some other sites I want to see but the sun is low in the sky so I will leave them till tomorrow. My ryokan is south of the busy town centre, on the edge of the old town so I look for a supermarket to stock up on provisions as I have booked a room with no meals.

Former Sasuke Toyoda Residence
The Former Sasuke Toyoda Residence is one of the historical attractions on Nagoya's "Cultural Path" which runs from Nagoya Castle east to Tokugawa Art Gallery and Tokugawa-en.
Sasuke Toyoda was the younger brother of the more famous Sakichi, the founder of the company that was to become Toyota Corp - the largest automobile manufacturer in the world.
The house, built in 1923 is a mix of western and Japanese styles including Japanese tatami-style rooms, and western stained glass and furniture, as was common for the properties of the Japanese elite at this period. Look out for the "Toyota" motif in some of the western style light and ventilation fittings. The garden is spacious and again a mix of Japanese and European styles.
Both Sasuke's brothers Sakichi and Risaburo had houses in this area but Sasuke's former residence is the only one left intact, though the gate of Risaburo's house still remains, a little to the north.
Other places to see along the Cultural Path include Nagoya City Hall, the Hori Art Museum, Nagoya City Archives, the Aichi Prefectural Building, the Chikaramachi Catholic Church, the Shumokukan, home of Tamesaburo Imoto, the Futaba Museum, Kenchuji Temple, the residence of Tetsujiro Haruta and the Nagoya Ceramics Hall.
The Cultural path runs through a prosperous, residential district home to the rich and powerful of Meiji and Taisho-era Nagoya and includes the houses of artists, merchants, bankers and writers.

Ueno Tokyo Train Line Opens
A couple of years ago we blogged about a new railway line being built through Tokyo, from Ueno station to Tokyo station, that was at that time referred to as the Tohoku Jukan Line.
|Ueno Tokyo Line track - at very top, piggybacked on shinkansen line - over Yasukuni-dori, Tokyo, Japan.
Until last Saturday, if riding any of these lines in the Tokyo direction to go further west in Japan, you had to get off at Ueno and change to the Keihin Tohoku line or Yamanote line bound for Tokyo Station. You could then change to the eastbound Tokaido Line from there. However, the Ueno Tokyo Line now joins the three northern lines to the Tokaido Line. Trains from all four lines run right through Ueno, Tokyo and Shinagawa station onto each other's lines.
In other words the Ueno Tokyo line now allows direct access to Tokyo and Shinagawa stations and beyond on the Utsunomiya, Takasaki and Joban lines, and direct access to Ueno Station and beyond on the Tokaido line.
Between 8am and 9am every day: 5 Utsunomiya Line trains and 5 Takasaki line trains go via Ueno, Tokyo and Shinagawa stations and continue on down the Tokaido line as far as Shinagawa, Hiratsuka, Atami, Kokubunji, or Odawara. 3 Joban Line trains from Toride and 2 from Narita go through to Shinagawa via Ueno and Tokyo stations.
Between 10am and 5pm every day: 21 Utsunomiya Line trains and 21 Takasaki line trains go via Ueno, Tokyo and Shinagawa stations and continue on down the Tokaido line.
28 Joban Line trains (14 tokkyu special expresses, 6 kaisoku expresses and 8 local trains) from Toride go through to Shinagawa via Ueno and Tokyo stations.
Between 5pm and 11pm every day: 39 Tokaido Line trains go through Shinagawa, Tokyo and Ueno stations, 19 of them to the Utsunomiya Line and 20 of them to the Takasaki Line.
26 Joban Line trains (6 tokkyu special expresses, 19 kaisoku expresses and 1 local train) go from Shinagawa station through Tokyo and Ueno Stations and through to Narita or Toride.
On the Utsunomiya Line it now takes 36 minutes between Omiya and Tokyo (a saving of 9 minutes), 46 minutes between Omiya and Shinagawa (saving 10 minutes), and 64 minutes between Yokoyama and Omiya (saving 13 minutes).
On the Joban Line, it now takes 39 minutes between Kashiwa and Tokyo (saving 7 minutes) and 49 minutes between Kashiwa and Shinagawa (saving 8 minutes). With the advent of the Ueno Tokyo Line opening, the Joban Line also now offers two new kinds of the train, the express Hitachi, and the local Tokiwa.
Another new train service launching at this time is the Local Green Car, an upscale option for those traveling on a local train. The Local Green Car is available on all four lines that the Ueno Tokyo Line connects: the Utsunomiya Line, the Takasaki Line, the Tokaido Line and the Joban Line. The price of an upgrade to a Local Green Car depends on whether you book ahead or buy the ticket from the conductor on the train, whether it is a weekday or a holiday, and on the total length of your trip.

Japan's Special Tax for Reconstruction Winners and Losers
The Special Corporate Tax for Reconstruction began to be levied in April 2012 and was levied for only two years, until 2014—the originally planned three-year period being suddenly truncated to two years (out of the goodness of the Diet's heart?) The Special Income Tax for Reconstruction began to be levied at the start of 2013. Both taxes were and are for the purpose of securing sufficient resources for the reconstruction work in those areas affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. Unlike the two-year corporate tax, the personal income tax is to be levied until 2037 - that's 25 years! Companies: winners, individual taxpayers: losers.
The Special Income Tax for Reconstruction is levied on all income tax paid in Japan, whether the taxpayer is a permanent resident of Japan or not.
However, for non-Japanese residents who qualify for a tax deduction for taxes paid overseas, the Special Income Tax for Reconstruction is levied based on income tax for that person's pre-deduction earnings - such earnings including money earned in Japan, money earned overseas that was paid in Japan, and earnings remitted from overseas. The overseas earnings of some non-permanent resident taxpayers may exceed the maximum tax deduction allowed. For such taxpayers, the amount in excess can be deducted from the Special Income Tax for Reconstruction. However, no more may be deducted from the Special tax than the part of it that derives from overseas earnings.
The Special Income Tax for Reconstruction is further levied as a 500 surcharge on both prefectural and local body taxes, i.e., a 1,000 yen surcharge per tax payer per year.
In 2013, the Special Tax for Reconstruction raised one 1.224 trillion yen (i.e., about ten billion US dollars at today's exchange rate).
While the funds are no doubt doing much good, there have been problems identified with their allocation. For example, in 2012, it was discovered that some of the funds were being used to strengthen the defenses of Japanese whaling fleets against attacks from anti-whaling groups, and, somewhat less egregiously, to reinforce central government agency buildings in Tokyo against earthquakes - still a far cry from helping those in need in the north-east.
Also, it has been found that, to date, of the funds that go to companies, almost three-quarters go to the zaibatsu, with small-and-medium-sized companies sent to the back of the queue.
Bizarrely, in 2012, 43 million yen (c. USD355,000) of the funds was given to the girl idol group, Bird Princess. Sure, they are a group from the affected area, look like lovely girls, and no doubt do a lot to cheer people there up - but a 43 million yen state subsidy for pop?
Equally bizarrely, last year it was discovered that a large amount of the funds had gone to the Japan Publishing Organization for Information Infrastructure Development (JPO), part of whose mission is to sponsor the digitization of books in the earthquake affected area, in the sense of creating archives. A worthy cause, but ... several hundred such subsidized titles included works such as "The Ultimate in Erotic Ecstasy," "Super-Sexed Coercive Probe," and "Climaxing Housewives of Karuizawa" (Karuizawa being a resort area for the wealthy, far from the earthquake affected area). State-subsidized porn, in other words.
Well, in the stale, doughy air of the second floor of the backstreet Asakusa Tax Office, waiting for my tax payment to be dealt with at tortoise pace, I entertained myself with the possibility that 2.1% of the handful of brown banknotes I handed over is destined for stardom, whether in skirts on the dazzling stage, or in a "well-cummed" ebook reader.

A Walk Around Kyushu Day 57 Saga to Takeo Onsen
A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 57, Saga to Takeo Onsen
Saturday February 15th 2014
Back in Saga to begin the next leg of my pilgrimage walk around Kyushu I am happy to find it warmer and sunnier than the Sanin Coast where I live.
As I head west out of Saga I follow the rail line rather than the main road. To the north I see the mountains with a dusting of snow on the higher elevations. I soon leave the city behind and am among the paddies and fields.
Many have the stubble of last years rice crop but there is also plenty of fresh, green winter wheat. I pass the temporary station of Saga Balloon, only operating, I guess, when one of the Hot Air Balloon festivals is taking place.
I head towards a shrine marked on my map but when I get there find a crowd of people outside with banners and megaphone. Some sort of local election going on. By now I reach the main road, a busy strip of asphalt lined with commercial properties.
There are a lot of car dealerships, one sporting a Statue of Liberty. Lots of national chain electronics stores. More than a few pachinko parlors.
One named "Zero" with the slogan "it's so cool to enjoy life frankly." Frankly, I have no idea what that means.
There are national chain family restaurants, karaoke bars, a smattering of love hotels, and of course the ubiquitous konbini. I avoid convenience stores if I have a choice, but increasingly the choice is not there. 100 yen fresh coffee and public toilets are what they excel at providing. I stop in at shrines along the road. Many of them have the local style of torii.
Made of stone, the pillars are much wider than in the normal style and they taper quite dramatically. The cross piece is also much thinner than usual. The overall effect seems to be to create the illusion of them being taller than they are.
A smile comes and my eyes widen as I spot an old Morris Minor rusting in a piece of waste land. Don't see many of those here, though you do see lots of the old Minis. A small detour off the main road takes me to the first pilgrimage temple of the day, Koya-ji.
Koya-ji is quite a big temple, on a hillside, but after entering the main gate I am face to dace with a construction site. The buildings are scattered around the edge so I explore. There is a nice two storey pagoda and a fine statue of Fudo Myo, and many Mizuko Jizo.
The tine statues left for dead children and foetuses. Many of them are dressed in hats and scarves and coats. Back at the main road a car stops and I have a conversation with the driver, he speaking English and I Japanese.
He is offering me a lift, though I am going in the opposite direction to him. I explain that I am on a pilgrimage and I like walking, but it doesn't seem to make any sense to him. Once he finds out where I'm from he wants to talk about Led Zeppelin. All the time he seems unaware that this is just a two lane road and traffic is having to slow down to pass him.
As I get into Takeo Onsen the sun is going down so I just have time to visit the next temple, number 102, Komyo-ji. It is unremarkable, though there is a small Inari shrine next to it.
The cheapest room I could find was at the ryokan in the grounds of the big public onsen in the town, and to get to it I have to walk past many of the higher-priced onsen ryokan and resort-style hotels.
The public onsen is quite distinctive behind an Edo Period gate that has now become the symbol for the town. The ryokan is huge and very busy. I am staying sudomari, without meals, so while most of the residents are eating I take the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor bath while it is almost empty.

Tagata Shrine Fertility Festival 2015
田県神社の豊年祭, 犬山、愛知県
The 2015 Tagata Jinja Fertility Festival takes place on Sunday on March 15. Expect large crowds to this increasingly popular festival as it falls on a weekend this year.
This historic and undoubtedly bizarre phallic festival involves a boisterous procession involving a 2.5m freshly carved wooden phallus carried 1.5km (with multiple sake-fueled rest stops) between Kumano Shrine and Tagata Shrine near Inuyama, just outside Nagoya in central Japan.
Access to Tagata Shrine
To get to Tagata Jinja take a Meitetsu train from Nagoya Meitetsu Station or Kanayama Station to Inuyama. Change to a Meitetsu Komaki Line train leaving from platform 3 and go three stops to Tagata Jinja Mae. Turn left out of the station and then left again at the main road. Alternatively take the Kami-Iida Line from Heian-dori subway station on the circular Meijo Line.
Tagata Jinja is about 400m on your right. To reach Kumano Shrine turn right out of Tagata Jinja, cross over the main road and Kumano Jinja is on your left as you climb the hill after crossing over the railway line.
Alternatively take the Tsurumai Subway Line to Kami Otai and change to a Meitetsu Line train to Inuyama and then the Komaki Line to Tagata Jinja Mae.

LINE the little green app that communicates success
Line is a little green app that lets users text, voice chat, video chat (conference calls of up to 100 people!), and share photos, movie clips and sound clips. Since its launch only four years ago, Line has become one of, if not the, world's most popular messaging app. Line has become a gaming platform, too, with a thoroughly addictive line-up of mobile phone games such as Line Rangers (the only one I've had any personal experience of in the form of a partner who spends every waking minute playing it on two iPhones, one of them mine!)
The spur to Line's development was the Great East Japan Earthquake. The Japanese employees of South Korea's biggest internet search provider, Naver Corporation, created it as an online way to communicate with each other in the post-disaster period when so much communications infrastructure had been damaged.
|LINE on an iPhone
Line was released to the public in June 2011, and in just under two and a half years later had been downloaded over 300 million times. Naver Corporation spun Line off to the newly created Line Corporation, which has overseen its growth worldwide.
Line has expanded its platforms from the intial Android and iPhone to almost all the major platforms mobile and otherwise. Some platforms are said offer a better LINE experience than others, Windows being the least satisfactory. There is a raft of features that differentiates it from other messaging apps, such as the ability to add friends by both shaking their phones in proximity to each other, or by using the built-in camera function to snap the other's QR code. Chats can be set to disappear after a certain time.
|Sumo news on a LINE timeline
Line's most unique feature vis-a-vis other messaging apps is how it also offers social networking Facebook-style with user homepages to which you add friends make posts and upload images and videos. Users can customize their homepage with pay-for cartoon characters and the like purchasable from the Line shop. The options and apps available within Line are constantly expanding, with Line Pay hovering in the background of most of them.
As with anything new and successful, curmudgeons come out grumbling. One egregious example was the headline in the Yomiuri Shimbun's English language daily newspaper, the Japan News, titled "LINE connects teenagers, flies under adult radar." The poorly written, sensationalist article tried to associate the tragic murder on February 20th of a schoolboy by his schoolmates with their use of LINE, with a graph prominently displayed showing a small spike in murder cases in 2011, the year LINE was launched. With over 300 million users, the anarchic potential has us quaking.
|Sensationalist article about LINE in the Japan News, March 1, 2015
LINE has almost become as must-have in Japan as a smartphone itself, and it looks unstoppable outside Japan too. Japan has shown that it has what it takes to make a hit with software. Struggling and hidebound Japanese corporations should take a fresh green leaf from LINE's burgeoning book.

Doctor Aaron Deshaw took my case when it was at its most hopeless. As a brain injury survivor himself, he was as kind and compassionate to someone with a brain injury as anyone could hope for. As a doctor, his knowledge and expertise were invaluable in navigating the complexities of a trial that depended on medical evidence. As an attorney, he's a ROCK STAR!(Sorry, did it again.) As an attorney, I believe his bravery (to go forward with a case that he was told was near hopeless), his brilliance, and his wisdom are unsurpassed in the legal field. His belief in me sustained me through a long, difficult, but ultimately triumphant journey. He never failed to return a phone call or e-mail, to keep me informed, or just reassure me that he understood when I was doing silly things brain injured people do. If you are unlucky enough to have suffered a brain injury, you would be lucky to have Doctor Aaron DeShaw as your lawyer. Delani Stephens

Most of the time it isn't the person that leaves fault. I acquired 10 leaves this past month from the servers being whack and received a 1 day ban for something that was out of my control. I've actually been scared to play any ranked games now because I'm worried the game will just randomly disconnect me. I also know it is the servers and not my internet because Firefox will run just fine if I alt-tab after I D/C. The solution would be for Riot to fix there servers.

Did you conceive on holiday?
A holiday can be the perfect time to conceive. That time-honoured formula of sun, sea and sand can do wonders for your sex life. Away from the stresses of home you can revitalise your relationship and enjoy quality time together as a couple. Such is the appeal of using a holiday to get pregnant that some couples even take a "conceptionmoon" - a holiday timed and planned with conception as its primary goal.

'Young Driver' initiative goes nationwide
Following a successful pilot, the 'Young Driver' programme by Admiral Mulitcar and Seat UK is to be launched nationwide.
The organisers believe that the programme, which is designed to help teach 11-16 year-olds how to drive carefully, will significantly reduce crashes and save lives.
Young Driver teaches youngsters to drive dual-controlled cars in a safe and environment. Using 200 new SEAT Ibiza models and specially designed driving zones, the organisers say the experience has been a 'massive hit' with young drivers and parents. Lessons start at £29.
Young Driver operates with approved driving instructors (ADIs) and sessions are available to children over 1.5 metres (4' 11") tall, between the ages of 11 and 16. The scheme is offered in 30 or 60-minute lessons during weekends and school holidays.
After the first lesson, participants are given a Drive Diary filled in by their instructor. This allows pupils, parents and instructors to chart individual progress and focus on new skills.
Piloted at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre three months ago, more than 1,000 under 17s have already been through the scheme.
The Young Driver programme will launch later this month at Bluewater in Greenhithe, Kent (21 February) and Wembley City, London (27 February). Further venues are also set to open in Glasgow and Manchester in the spring.
The motoring journalist, Quentin Willson, a supporter of the scheme, says: "I've just put my 11 year-old son on the programme and I've never seen him concentrate so hard. This is a road safety revolution in the making."
Charlotte Bennett, Admiral MultiCar marketing director, added: "We are confident Young Driver will make a huge difference to accident rates among new drivers and are proud to see the project going national."
For more information go to: www.youngdriver.eu or contact Janet Mills.

Given that the actual motor skills needed to drive a car can usually be learnt very quickly, especially in the young, I wonder what the students will glean from this. I doubt whether they will pick up the essential information-gathering visual skills and hazard assessment abilities in a car park.
David Daw, Suffolk
At last pro-actively teaching young people from an early age the skills they will need in driving, although the cost would often exclude kids from a low income background who would also benefit from this training.

Wore them in for about 2 weeks. I turned my be.2500 d class to about 1/3 of power at 2 ohms and smoked them at about 500 watts rms a piece. The subs where far under there extension range and where barely moving. wiring and everything was all good. Also used my audiobahn 1200 watt mono at 1/6 power and cooked the amp till it shorted only playing for about 30 min. They hit hard for the price but i wouldn't recommend them.

Finally, the Senate Takes On Climate ChangeMay 29, 2008 - by Donny Shaw
In case you hadn't heard, when the Senate reconvenes next week, they'll be taking up a bill that, for the first time ever, would mandate economy-wide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Though historic, the bill, known as the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, is basically dead on arrival. It may no have enough of support to pass the Senate, and even if it does, President Bush has threatened to veto it. Nonetheless, it will establish a precedent for next year's Congress to start their own climate change negotiations from. With Democrats likely to gain seats in the House and Senate, and very possibly the presidency, a similar bill will be passed and signed next year, so even if the the progress made in the debate next week gets shelved, it will probably be revived and carried forth in the bill that eventually does becomes law.
In the past week, Barbara Boxer (D-CA), chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has issued a revised version of the Lieberman-Warner bill (more details here) to be used as the starting point in the Senate's debate. Boxer's version makes several changes to the original bill, the most important of which deals directly with the most contentious and fundamental aspects of cap-and-trade: how much we will have to pay to reduce emissions.
Boxer's version replaces the bill's original safety valve, which would release more carbon credits into the market if they reached a certain price ceiling, with a cost-containment plan to auction off credits borrowed from future what will be available in the future to help alleviate short-term increases in cost. Kate Sheppard of Grist explains:
>This is the mechanism, also called an "emergency off-ramp," that will automatically release additional emission allowances onto the market to lower the price of carbon credits, should prices reach a certain level. The full text of the bill states that the initial range in which that mechanism could be triggered is "no lower than $22 and no higher than $30" in 2012. From 2013 through 2027, the price will be previous year's trigger multiplied by the sum of the annual rate of inflation and 1.05. (If you're thinking "WTF?" you're not alone.) These additional credits would be auctioned, and the proceeds would be used for direct emissions reductions. This is the part of the legislation likely to give greens the biggest coronary. Though it's short of a "safety valve," some groups have already expressed concern that this trigger is too low.
But other groups think Boxer's cost-containment measure is an improvement. Climate Progress, a project of the Center for American Progress, has supported the idea since it was orginally proposed by a bipartisan group of senators proposed it last summer:
>So you want to have greenhouse gas standards with teeth, but you want to minimize the risk they take too big a bite from the economy. And, of course, like Climate Progress, you don't like the safety valve idea. What do you do? Banking and borrowing of course.
>With "banking," the right to emit carbon can be saved for future use. With "borrowing," current emissions are extended against future abatement.
>What is fascinating is that today a detailed banking and borrowing proposal, "Cost-Containment for the Carbon Market," was put forward by four moderate senators — Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and John Warner (R-Va.) — with the help of Duke University's environmental program.

The bill is here because Air Force wanted a new intelligence agency. They worked in the arctic with a bunch of countries. Climate change had to be acknowledged because of the dems and Gore. They made it a security issue and the Air Force got its new intelligence agency.
We made a food commitment and look at the mess and the cost. 2050 is a long commitment. Of course, all the budgets are five years now……

The credit system isn't understandable. Are credits allocated for free or is there a charge? If the bill is international, who collects on the credit allowances? Isn't this a way to tax people globally and have the money be collected by a foreign power?
The bill has allot of employees in it. How many Americans are getting jobs out this like PEPFAR and the farm bill? What department do they work for? This seems to be a foreign policy issue, but it's an American security issue. The environment and public works committee is international? They run these programs in foreign countries?
The bill is allot like the farm bill. The farm bills used to be American, like we had to subsidize farmers. This has gone international with the UN and US subsidizing foreign farmers. The committee will be subsidizing foreign energy producers and collecting credit taxes for the UN or another group?
The safety valve reminds me of commodities trading and safety valves. Should we put a cap on prices where the government will buy the crops and credits? Should we investigate the CFTC and the new departments under this bill? What if the credit prices increase to a point where the US government can no longer purchase them from foreign countries?
Isn't US energy considered a national security issue? Isn't this why we have all the 'energy consultants' working with foreign countries? How will the bill affect our relations with foreign countries?
The bill won't pass because the jobs are already there. Air Force and 'energy consultants' got new work and jobs. There aren't enough new jobs in the bill and it just justifies the creations of the new agency and 'energy consultants.'
These foreign policy bills have to hire existing agencies, create new ones or hire more Americans because we're spending 50 billion over five years, etc. We justify the foreign aid money with American jobs and explain that is why the recipients only get like 10% and the person getting the aid gets not much.
The bill is allot like the other bills the House has come up with as Bush leaves and Congress overrides. These bills' budgets are all doubled or tripled from what is requested and are long term five years or on their second five years of funding. The original bills created by Bush were for 'emergencies' that were long term, five years. This was used by the House to justify other 'emergency' five year bill funding and the budgets doubled or tripled to justify the hiring of more Americans. The bills had problems and then there were emergencies that had to be taken care of immediately with billions of dollars and will not solve the long term 'emergencies.' The food problem. Will this bill have the same problems if it is not passed and overrided? The long term 'emergencies' are not worth funding if we always have short term 'emergencies.' The 100s of billions are just cash and so are the short term 'emergencies.' The foreign aid is just being thrown away. The aid money doesn't get to the people. The bill is the same.

There is not enough in this bill about mass transit.

APC board and staff meeting 2008
Day by Day Schedule
31 Jan or morning of 1 Feb: Arrive Johannesburg if only attending staff meeting
1 Feb: Depart to Ithala
Executive Board and Staff meetings Feb 2nd to 4th
World Summit on the Information Society Phase II, Tunis, PrepCom I Report
This report touches on issues such as the human rights and 'north-south' agendas, as well as the preparation by civil society in the WSIS process up to 2004. It includes brief observations, suggested discussion points and strategies needed to protect and strengthen civil society participation in the WSIS process.
APC at the Web2forDev conference and training Web2.0 practitioners in Kampala
For the first time, in September 2007, a large group of people involved in one way or another with development work met to discuss the possibilities and drawbacks of sophisticated web-based applications in situations of low bandwidth and limited access to powerful hardware. Many of them had the chance to experiment with the tools in a workshop APC co-organised at a conference called Web2forDev. The interest of this community, gradually expanding under the 'Web2forDev' label, focuses on how cutting-edge technology can help to close the gap in access to ICTs, as opposed to widening it further.
Evaluation report on APC's Communications and Information Policy Programme
From August 2005 until April 2006, an evaluation of APC's information and communication technology (ICT) policy involvement from 2002 to mid-2005 was carried out by an independent consultant. "The overall conclusion from this evaluation has to be that APC is an energetic, active, committed organisation that has achieved a lot with limited staff and resources. [.. and] APC is highly respected. This respect comes from a range of different players and extends over technical, advocacy, and political aspects of its work", but, says the writer, "Perhaps the overwhelming message is to aim lower".
WSIS process and issues debated
This fifteen page paper by the coordinator of APC's Latin American ICT Policy Monitor covers the background to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), stakeholders, the process (including the Geneva and Tunis rounds), themes discussed in round one, and looks at results.
Cultivating violence through technology?
This paper explores the connection between new information communication technologies (ICTs) and violence against women (VAW). From the perspective of representation and rapid dissemination of information and communication enabled through ICTs, the paper looks at domestic violence in the homes, sexual violence and women in conflict affected areas. It presents case studies, strategies and analysis on these different areas. The study is the part of APC WNSP issue papers series on ICTs for women's rights.
Digital dangers: Information & communication technologies and trafficking in women
This discussion paper asks if new technologies are re-shaping or facilitating trafficking, and/or if the use of ICTs in trafficking will change the way we understand other issues. For example, how should we think about the distribution of women's images against their will; can we talk about trafficking in images, and what relation does this have to the debate about pornography? It explores government responses and the tension between the right to privacy and the right to freedom from violence in the context of ICTs. This paper is a joint publication of AWID and the APC WNSP.

Last problem is solved with the 1.0.3 version. The extension is working now as multilingual, and working fine.
Thanks Mehtuus
Very good extension but I can't make the french locale I wrote (you will find it here : https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=961dc53580315d8d&sc=documents&id=961DC53580315D8D!102) work without translation of some of the content directory filesThis review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.2).
If you want, I made a bumped version working until Firefox 9. You will find it here: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=961dc53580315d8d&sc=documents&id=961DC53580315D8D%21102. Beware! There's a french translated version (-fr), and an english one (-en). Make the right choice!
The italic style for non-read tabs doesn't seems to work anymore with Firefox 5 :-(This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Should be default in Firefox. For the Firefox 3.5/3.6 users, you shoud use the original Tab History : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/tab-historyThis review is for a previous version of the add-on (2).
Exactly what I needed with the "not yet loaded" tab identification.The "restartless" quality is really appreciated!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1).
You can re-active the automatic reload when selecting a tab in Firefox 4.0. In "about:config", set "browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs" to 0. That's all!
With this little trick, BarTab becomes useless for my main use.
Very good extension.
It woould be still better if translated in some more languages.
Please, post it to Babelzilla (http://www.babelzilla.org/) for translation.
One thing more: this extension would still be better if translated. You can propose it on babelzilla (http://www.babelzilla.org)This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3.8).
Very, very useful extension.
It would be better with a logout button (seems necessary) and (but it is more personnal) with a Microsoft Skydrive support.
One thing more: this extension would still be better if translated. You can propose it to Babelzilla (http://www.babelzilla.org/).
Many thanks!
Very nice theme. Do you think to build a Linux compatible version (not tested)?

Where I Was
Uploaded by: ColoradoKat
Thursday July 18, 2013
Caption: This is a look back East at the storms I had just driven through. In front of me, it looked darker still and that proved to be true. It was almost like a night drive. Headlights and wipers on the whole way. It was sprinkling on me when I took this and by the time I got back on the highway it was raining hard. Vail Pass was the worst..the splashback from big trucks just covered my car and made me 'blind' for a few seconds...not fun, but it's hard for a Colorado person to complain about

Paradigm Veteran Lucy Stille Joins APA (Exclusive)
Veteran literary agent Lucy Stille has joined APA, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned. In doing so, she leaves Paradigm, the agency she helped establish 21 years ago.
Stille will focus on expanding APA's literary presence on the east coast, working out of its new offices in New York City. The agency recently moved into a 28,000-square-foot space comprising the entire 17th floor of the Sports Illustrated building in midtown Manhattan.
"Despite terrific years at Paradigm working with many wonderful colleagues, I'm thrilled to be joining APA," Stille said in a statement. "Their commitment and enthusiasm for a strong literary presence in New York aligns perfectly with what I want in the next chapter in my career."
Stille will report to APA executive vp/partner and head of feature literary David Saunders and executive vp/partner and head of television literary Lee Dinstman. "We're extremely happy to have a talented and respected agent such as Lucy join our team as we continue to grow and expand our East Coast operations," the two said in a statement. "Lucy's style, reputation, expertise and track record speak volumes. She's simply one of the best in the business, and we're certain her contributions will be a tremendous asset to the firm moving forward."
Stille's clients include writer/directors John Sayles and Raymond de Felitta, director Luis Mandoki, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz and authors Dean Koontz, David Baldacci, Erik Larson, Francesca Lia Block, Scott Sigler and Daniel Palmer. Prior to helping start Paradigm, Stille was a publishing agent at New York's Sanford J. Greenburger, and she began her career in publicity and marketing for the city's not-for-profit theater Playwrights Horizons.
