Yeah, who knew ? I was targeting mid-tier cities like Charlotte and OKC. But I have a sister who lives in LA. She's a graphic design artist and a marketing consultant. Recently, she's designed websites for some of the child actors you see on Nickelodeon and such. She strongly maintains that LA is the ideal market for me, Vanity Capital of the World and all that. Yes, she says that LA is already awash in fitness trainers because of that. Yes, she believes that my age, less-than-intimidating physique and especially my business model will separate me from my competition. She's going to optimize my website, for free, help me with marketing needs and look for places to stay and job opportunities. Realistically, it'll take awhile to build up a fitness clientele. So, I'll be looking for temporary work. But I must say that I am pleasantly surprised, no SHOCKED at how affordable housing is (when you look). I'm pumped! Yes, I've spent some time in LA and can certainly see myself being happy there. A catchment of 13,000,000 people, mountains, ocean, what's not to like ? Plus, "LA-based Fitness Trainer" should immediately buy me some street cred on Health and Fitness Forum. :wink:
Best of luck to you Dream. I will be in LA for some fitness shows in early 2013 and have thought about making the move there myself recently. But I am going to stick out LV for a little while longer, the market here is actually very good for fitness professionals also. Getting your website out there will be a huge boost and once you get some word of mouth going you should be good. Just give it time and develop your client army.
Thanks for the encouragement, friend. I guess I didn't realize you were in LV. I certainly have noted that it isn't far from LA. And did you know they're building high-speed rail from LA to LV ? Due to be running in 2016.
Welcome to L.A., Dream. I moved out here four years ago from Chicago and have to say it's a pretty cool place to live. You'll probably find you hate the traffic and the unusually high % of DBs (don't mean defensive backs) that live out here. But you just learn to brush them off after a while. There are a lot of cool, down to earth people here too and tons to do that you just can't find in a lot of places. Hope the transition goes smoothly and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, fubar, for the welcome and the heads-up on the douchebags. :wink: I'd like to think that I come prepped for that. You may not be aware that Orlando was named the "Angriest City in America" in 2008. Hey, I may be in touch with you as the time nears. I'm still probably 2-3 months out.
Another SoCal Gator! Welcome Dream. It can be hard early on, but if you can swing it, avoid the Valley and live on the Westside. Better air, better food, plus the ocean!
Yeah been in Vegas a little over a year now. Didn't know about the high-speed rail but flights are short and usually you can find a decent deal. Or its a quick drive. I actually spend more time down in San Diego which has a totally different vibe than LA. By the way, I recently got NASM CPT myself but haven't really decided what I am going to do with it yet.
Thanks, bc! You know, Westside might be doable. I come with meager resources, but I started out looking for rooms, and to my great surprise, rents seem to be on par with Orlando. I found (but didn't commit to) a 500 sq.ft. apt, just off Wilshire and Western, for $699. They'll even take my two dogs! First step: find a job. Plan A is temporary, even part-time job (not picky) while I get the fitness off the ground.
NASM ? Wow! 96 considers that the going gold standard. Congrats! And I'll be glad to help in any way that I can. Of course when I get out there we'll have little excuse not to get together. I didn't realize that LV was that close. And yes, San Diego has a nice vibe to it. I visited SD before I visited LA. and SD was, for me, what I expected LA to be like based on TV imagery. In fact, my sister and her partner want to eventual settle there. They're in Pasadena now.
Yeah it kind of happened on a whim. I looked into for my sister then she decided not to do it and i just went for it. Not sure what your time frame is but ill be in San Diego after new years then in LA Feb 8th and March 8th for a few days each time.
I'm looking at Feb-Mar. But don't sweat it. Now that I know that LV is only a four hour drive, I might just up and drive over that way some time. I've actually never seen the place. Maybe you could show me around ?
You're on then! I can tell you that, for the first couple of months, I'll probably just take one day a week to explore my new city.
Not sure you'd like Wilshire and Western unless you're well versed in Korean. Food is great but probably hard to find clients. Hollywood has greatly improved in the past five years and don't rule out Studio City and Sherman Oaks. Let us know when you make the move.
Not rooted to a location. Just looking for a place to crash while I seek to draw clients from the larger metro. I do expect to do a fair bit of driving. Funny on the Koreans though, when I was at Westminster Theological Seminary, fully 60% of the students there were Korean! Thanks for the invite and likely will be in touch as I get closer. And as temporary non-fitness work may be a necessity, please let me know if you hear about anyone who's hiring. Not picky about the work I do. My work experience is fairly well-rounded, heavy one sales too.
Dream if you're being serious I envy your marriage. I'd love to find a woman who would be up for living somewhere based on what side a coin lands.
Actually, I'm going through a divorce. It's sad, but one bright spot is that, while married, I always deferred to my wife on locations. Now of course I can go where I want to, me and my dogs. LA did blindside me a bit though. One winning factor was hearing my sister out. The other winning factor was having family in an unknown city. I've spent enough time in LA to know that I'd find it fascinating to live there, but never dared dream that I'd actually wind up there.

Where I stayed
Day 130: Sunday 27th May 2012
Getting up early I grabbed some tea and toast from breakfast and jumped on the bus bound for Bako National Park. From there I needed to get a boat to the Park proper. Unfortunately this costs a small fortune to do alone so I had to wait for some other people to show up that were looking not only to go there now but also stay a night and leave the following day. This was because you had to by a return ticket rather than a one way one and go back with the same people you enter with. No idea why they do it this way its just how they operate here. I ended up joining with Alan & Patricia, an American Couple from New York. The 20 minute boat ride cruised up the mouth of the river into the South China Sea. The coast line here is easily as spectacular is not surpassing that of the Perhentian Islands. The rocky sea stacks are simply phenomenal. Huge strutting outcrops that shoot out of the sea, seemingly from nowhere, normally peaked with trees, shrubs and fauna. I've never seen an environment more foreign, more alien to me than this. Truly spectacular.
After getting to know the local wild boars that live around the park headquarters and the mundane tasks of checking in and unpacking the three of us hit the trails. First on the list was a small walk just shy of a kilometre to the nearby beach of Telok Paku. It was a trail littered with smooth huge boulders and jutting roots along a undulating, winding path. We saw some Long-tailed macaques early on, jumping about high among the trees. Craning our necks skywards snapping away wildly with cameras we eventually moved on when we could no longer keep our heads pointed upwards. The beach itself was again magnificent. The sea wasn't the clear blue that I had seen elsewhere around Malaysia but really you would be nit picking to complain about it. Words really don't do this place justice.
The main part of our trek today was along the Lingtang trail. A much more substantial route of approximately 4-5 hours it takes a nice arch around a sizeable portion of the park. It is about the longest route you can hope to make of the park whilst still making it back to base in the same day. The main draw of this route is that varied biomes that it takes you through. Literally every 500m or so the scenery changes completely, you could be half a country away. From deepest jungle to sandy beach paths, rocky walkways to spartan plateaus this trail really kept your interest peaked. The wildlife this far into the park was strangely less prevalent than it had been at the start but the plants, trees and fauna were more than enough to keep you occupied. Just as we got back to the park we were treated with the perfect way to end out hike. At the end of the trail not 100M for the sea was a small group of Proboscis monkeys fighting in a clearing. As we crept closer to them they hid in some bushes before climbing up into some trees. Fortunately they were then not to obscured and we got our first real look at these bizarre creatures. The younger ones seem to have sharp pointed noses but the older ones definitely have that huge bulging nose that you expect them to have. Slow and largely uninterested by our presence they are obviously accustomed to humans being around. Still it was an amazing experience and I was so pleased I got to see them.
After a few hours recovery back at Park HQ we headed out on the night walk. Going by torchlight we got to see everything from scorpions and spiders to snakes, frogs, stick insects and even fish. Its amazing how much more you see by night here than you do during the day. The guide was amazing we would never have seen half a much without him. We were worried at one point that we had been caught in the rain but it turned out just to be a golden shower courtesy of a nearby proboscis monkey. When the lights went out we got a real sense of exactly what dark meant. Despite what you might think it isn't at all scary being deep in the jungle at night its actually rather peaceful listening to the sounds of the nocturnal wildlife whilst wandering through it silently was really soothing.
Day 131: Monday 28th May 2012
After a quick breakfast (I had Kaya on Bread as it was the cheapest thing on an otherwise pretty pricey menu) we headed out on our morning trek. we were headed for Telok Pandan Kecil Beach. A few hours round trip it should have us back in plenty of time to catch our boat back. Whilst the trek was enjoyable and beautiful enough in itself the beach was a step above even what we had seen yesterday. True beach jungle paradise. The brown rivers and streams meeting the dark blue of the oceans surrounded by beautiful sea stacks and white sands. I was more than happy to spend a few hours here exploring up the estuary and along the rock lined coastline. In contrast with the blind panic that was to hit me later that evening I was almost completely at peace for the time I spent here. It was just a drag pulling myself away from the place. Anyone coming to Borneo must make going to Bako National Park a priority it far surpassed the convenient day trip from Kuching that I had originally took it for.
Arriving back in Kuching I headed back to the Threehouse to spend the night. I was hoping for a nice relaxing evening filled with surfing the web, watching films and catching up on my blog. Unfortunately although it started out that way it was not to last. After a quick chat with Alex we discovered that our flights to Mulu (The details for which I had sent to her so that she could by) were not flights to Mulu. Despite the fact that I went through the Mulu site to get them the website auto-fill had selected tickets that went to Labuan (A vegas-esk island in the completely wrong direction) instead! Nightmare. After a panic filled few hours (And quite a few apologies) we got our flights re-booked and researched as fully as we could about the possibility of getting our old tickets refunded. It was at this point that Ben, whom Alex had met and began travelling with in Kuala Lumpur became included in our plans as he had decided to join us. I thought he was quite brave considering all the business with the plane tickets being messed up. Being in a bit of a travel admin kind of mood by he end of it I decided to finalise my plans of going to Indonesia following Borneo and booked a flight out of Bali for just after a month after leaving Borneo. In order to get an Indonesian Visa they require you to provide proof of onward travel. Hopefully this would allow me to travel by ferry from Melaka a day or so after arriving back in KL.
In preparation for my 15 hour bus journey the next day followed by an 8+ hour wait through th night in a bus station I decided to pull an all nighter. The hope being that I would be tired enough the next day to sleep during the day on the bus and wouldn't be too tired during the following night. It was more challenging than I remember it being during University but I managed it nonetheless. It wouldn't really work though unfortunately, it was only after the journey that I got the suggestion to use some sleeping pills. Sometimes the most obvious solutions escape us...
Day 132: Tuesday 29th May 2012
A travel day in every sense of the word. Not waking up so much as freshening up after my all nighter I made my way first to the airport in the hope of being able to cancel my original Mulu tickets and getting back some of the money. As concerned as I was about getting my money back if I'm honest I was more worried about if Alex would be able to get her money back as in my eyes it was my fault that she had lost it. Her tickets had also been almost twice as much as mine as she had booked them later. I was informed that due to my tickets being a promotion deal they were not liable to be refunded. That didn't stop them from cancelling them straight away regardless to sell onto someone else of course...
The rest of the day was spent on the worlds coldest bus. As warm as it was outside they decided to blast air-con on full whack so that everyone is shivering uncontrollably for the entire journey. All hopes of sleeping on the trip vanished almost immediately, and I distracted myself form the cold with some reading and listening to music. I arrived in Miri a little after 1am. Figuring the bus companies would open somewhere between 6-8 I settled down on a bench and napped as much as I could before morning. I may have been outside but at least it was warmer now than on the bus and im sure I managed an hour or 2.

A Variety of Analyses of a Steel Component
Application ID: 183
This example shows a plane stress analysis of a mechanical component.
The component is cut from a 4 mm steel plate. The thickness is small compared to the length and breadth in the x-y plane. Due to this, and the fact that the applied loads lie in the x-y plane, the out-of-plane stress can be assumed to be negligible. The plane stress application mode is based on this assumption.
The modeling introduces the six analysis types in the Structural Mechanics Module:
- static
- quasi-static
- parametric
- eigenfrequency
- frequency response
- transient

Al Schneider uses a loupe to get a closer look at the Ipomopsis ramosa, a flower he discovered near Roaring Creek Road north of Dolores.
DOLORES The drought hasn�t treated the Ipomopsis ramosa well, but the species will bounce back, Al Schneider said as he pointed to withered flower stems along Roaring Creek Road about 30 miles north of here. Only a few of the flowers displayed their delicate coral-colored blooms. Schneider, a retired English professor and amateur botanist who lives in Lewis, has reason to keep his eye on the Ipomopsis ramosa. He�s credited with discovering the flower, to which he gave a common name: Coral ipomopsis. Recognition came slowly, which isn�t unusual in the world of botany, Schneider said. He first noticed the species in June 2006 while driving Roaring Creek Road with his wife, Betty. Several prominent botanists examined specimens and told him it was a variant of an already-known species. But doubt nagged as he observed the flower time and again while traveling the road on his way to hike the Colorado Trail. In early 2011, he made a minute analysis of the flower, the findings of which were corroborated by professionals in the field. Finally, it was confirmed as a new species in November 2011 after the two top experts on Phlox family members (of which the Ipomopsis ramosa is one) recognized its one-of-a-kind attributes. �There is no local, national or international authority in botany as there is in birding,� Schneider said. �In botany, consensus and time count. There is no final, single arbiter.� He held a blossom of the Ipomopsis ramosa next to one from an Ipomopsis aggregata growing nearby, pointing to differences that at a cursory glance escape the untrained eye. Schneider arrived in Southwest Colorado in 1990 after a career in academia. He taught English at the University of Wyoming and at Saint Louis Community College in Missouri. A lifelong interest in nature, particularly botany, and a keen eye paid off with two earlier botanic discoveries. In August 2008, Schneider came across a flower he didn�t recognize while helping Peggy Lyon, a Colorado Natural Heritage Program field botanist, catalog plants in Lone Mesa State Park. Three months later, he published information about the Gutierrezia elegans, a member of the sunflower family that displays abundant yellow blossoms. Earlier the same year, Schneider was hiking with his wife in Lone Mesa State Park when he found a ground-hugging plant with yellow flowers. But new-species recognition for the Packera mancosana, a member of the sunflower family, wasn�t established until June 2011. Lone Mesa State Park, 23 miles northwest of here, is under development and closed to general access. Special activities are allowed with a permit � elk hunting, a butterfly count and cataloging of plants. The Ipomopsis ramosa grows most frequently in disturbed and undisturbed Cutler formation red sandstone at elevations ranging from 8,200 to 9,200 feet. It prefers steep slopes with south, southwest or southeast exposures. �It�s common in this valley, but not common throughout Montezuma County,� he said. Lyon, who has been with the Colorado Natural Heritage Program for 18 years, said there are 13,000 locations in Colorado with rare plants, animals or natural communities (specific combinations of species). �We keep track of hundreds of vascular plants and nonvascular species such as mosses and lichen,� Lyon said. Species are ranked from 1 to 5 statewide and globally, with 1 being rare and 5 common, she said. Rankings of 4 and 5 don�t get much attention. At this point, Schneider�s three discoveries should carry a No. 1 ranking globally and in Colorado because they�re not known to exist in more than one place, Lyon said. The discovery of the Ipomopsis ramosa paves the way for in-depth studies of the species, Schneider said. Interested scientists could study the soil, elevation and temperature most favorable to the species; how its seeds propagate; whether it has predators or if it hybridizes. The current emphasis on genetics in college botany could result in a study of its DNA. The two earlier discoveries take nothing from the thrill of his latest find, Schneider said. �They�re different, but they�re all special,� Schneider said. �Each one was brand new � the same as the 1,000 flowers on my website were new to me at one time.�

The beloved television commentator would be stepping down after a magnificent career spanning several decades. His baritone voice provided comfort in times of chaos. His was the measured response to uncertainty. He was our favorite uncle, a confidant who helped us see the light through the darkness.
He orchestrated his final show a year in advance. He would not be one of those aging stars who can't give up the spotlight. He would choose when to take his final bow. He planned out what he would say very carefully in a three-minute goodbye speech. Corporate headquarters, recognizing his greatness, agreed to let him have that time.
The day of his final show arrived. His guests were the customary fascinating personalities. Throughout the show he kept his composure. As was expected, there was a 90-second commercial break before the final goodbye. A production manager sprinted onto the set and said the station needed to cut away because a golf tournament had gone into a playoff situation. Our host was devastated.
He asked how long he would have. He was told he'd have 15 seconds. Being an unflappable professional, he quickly summarized a 20-year career in 15 seconds. But as he walked off the stage, it was not with authority, but with an overwhelming sadness and emptiness. Is this all there is?
So what's the point? What's the lesson? Don't wait until the final chapter, until the final curtain call, to say what needs to be said. Take advantage of each day, of each moment, to say thank you or to ask forgiveness of those you may have offended.

Marilyn, I can identify with you somewhat. I have battled depression my whole life as well. Maybe your body has become used to the drugs and you need different drugs. I know that some days I would really love to talk to someone about everything that I am feeling down about..but I don't. Write down a list of everything that is good in your life and tape it on your bathroom mirror. Also, having dog or cat really helps. Also, choose one project and work on it until it is finished. It will give you a great sense of accomplishment. Maybe you should look for a different psychiatrist? Good luck to you....I will send a prayer your way!
I just want help. I have been living with major depression my whole life and it keeps coming back. I am now 47 and have ran out of options to help with my mental pain. I have asked my psychiatrist and have been to hospitals for this condition. My doc. told me that I am on 3 depression pills and a anxiety pill and does not want to switch my medication. He gave me 7 kolonapin to get me through the weekend and I feel the same. My husband told me to do something, that he wants his wife back. I am a recovering alolcholic so I do not know if he really knows who I am, we will be married 12 years in JUne. Do I end my pain, will people know what kind of pain I am in??? Please someone help me.
Hi Georgia, I too have tried to "teach" my family how to treat me. Really all I'm asking for is for them to love me as I love them. But they tell me they do love me, in their own way. No hugs, no "I love you's", no appreciation expressed for the sacrifices I make for them; but they say that is not necessary (and I must conclude that my asking for these things is ungrateful on my part. I too am waiting for something better in heaven.
The caregiver MUST keep mobile- get execise at least 30 minutes a day...can walk the halls if living in an apartment building or other multiple dwelling building. From my own experience I did NOT do this and ended up developing double pulmonary emboli just the week before my husband died, after a year of dying...I almost beat him to the pearly gates! And for the folling year, I again was immobile taking care of "settling " his "estate' and again acquired another puplmonary embolus which I am dealing with now. Older persons must keep moving..must keep exercising.
The final curtain has come and gone for me. I've tried for years and noone will listen to me. Things will never change and I'm sooo tired now. I am a very good person, too good sometime, but now I'm just ready to see what God has in store for me in heaven. I'm ready to my family that is already there. I just don't have the strength for this earth anymore.
Five years ago, the sudden and unexpected death of my beloved 53-year old brother taught me some very important life leasons; the two most important ones being that life is precious and life is short. I learned that material things are just fluff. They may temporarily make our lives more comfortable, but in the grand scheme of things they're really very insignificant. When all is said and done - when my last breath has been drawn - the only legacy that truly matters is that my family and friends will be left with absolutely no doubt whatsoever that I loved and appreciated each and every one of them.
Yesterday I wrote our local newspaper about a cartoon that had been published on the Op-ed page. It was about one a leader of one of our opposition parties who is ill. It was, I said "offensive." My husband, who is a Palliative Care physician said it was "disgusting." Then I went on in a postcript to decribe the deterioration of the newspaper. It is biased toward one political party and has journalists who need to be move on and a an editor who began as a business editor and is unsuited for this job. I sent copies to some of the good writers, letters to the editor and the publisher. It was very cathartic. In the scheme of things, this obviously is not as important as what Carol discusses in her note. However, as a long time subscriber to my newspaper, I wanted to be heard and I was. I'm very glad that I did it and did not just let it go.
I liked the title of this. It really got my attention. It reminded me of the death of my parents.

Show Day, Monterey
12 February 2006
Show Day, Monterey
Was woken by the phone at 11am, with a friendly voice telling me that my meeting with Bono had been pushed back from noon till 3pm. Result!
Rolled over for another hour but found myself awake so staggered up. One of the many extraordinary things about road life is that its possible to exist in a state of almost complete ignorance of your surroundings or domestic arrangements. Being the start of a new leg and having been so intensely busy at the venue, I hadnt a clue about what hotel I was in or any travel arrangements. Usually you look for a piece of paper shoved under your door which tells you what to do and todays piece of paper informed me that Im going to Mexico City tonight (fancy that!) but, more crucially, that the hotel was serving 'complimentary brunch till 1pm'. Result!
It was about 12.30 so I pulled on some clothes and went to find the food. This I did, along with a couple of other members of our party, in a large, smart, busy, dining room laid out with a huge spread of food. It was perfect, so we piled our plates high and made the most of it. Having gorged ourselves, another member of our party arrived and looked puzzled. 'Arent you coming for breakfast in the bar with everyone else?'. Yes folks, we had just sat down and helped ourselves to a complete strangers wedding reception.
Later, down at the venue, everything seemed to be in order, pretty much like wed never been away. There was, however, one surprise which took the evening into unexpected territory. It was cold. In fact it was nearly freezing out there and from the minute the band hit the stage it was clear that, even though the audience was loving it, the chances of us achieving elevation were slim. The gig had its moments (Elevation being one of them) but another problem (though in many ways encouraging) is that here it seems the newer U2 material is far more well known than the older. The Boy songs didnt get anything like the usual recognition and my visionary insistence that we put Bad into the set created without doubt the low point of the evening.
My one smile came from seeing Selma Hayek in the audience. The encore section of the show begins with a set of 'one arm bandit' reels which spin around revealing the symbols from Achtung Baby with a mixture of political and cultural icons. For each of the shows on this part of the tour we have made a custom version of this piece, including famous faces from that country and the one for Mexico contains.Selma Hayek. She must have been surprised.
After the show we did a runner to Mexico City, where hopefully it might be a little warmer.

Turks and Caicos Islands
- Last updated:
- Still valid:
- Latest updates:
- A minor editorial change was made.
Turks and Caicos Islands - Exercise normal security precautions
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands. Exercise normal security precautions.
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 occurs, including rental car theft. Muggings and armed assaults are also reported, mostly in areas popular with tourists. You should be especially vigilant on Providenciales, which has a higher crime rate than other islands. You should also exercise vigilance when staying at villas in secluded areas, as these may be seen by criminals as easy targets for theft. Victims of robbery may suffer injuries if they resist. Do not bring valuables, including travel documents and purses, to the beach. Avoid deserted beaches or other poorly lit, isolated areas after dark. Exercise normal precautions and ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
If you plan to explore remote areas of the islands for bird watching, diving or snorkelling, inform friends, relatives or hotel management of the time of your expected return.
Spiked food and drinks
Never leave food or drinks 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.
Road travel
Main roads are generally in good condition. Be careful when driving after dark or on secondary roads, since unpaved surfaces, potholes and roaming animals may pose risks.
Taxis are readily available; fares should be determined in advance.
See Transportation Safety in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Emergency services
Dial 911 or 999 to reach police, fire fighters or an ambulance.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
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 British authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the British High Commission or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present valid official photo identification (such as a driver's licence) and proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate or a notarized copy thereof) to visit the Turks and Caicos Islands, if travelling by direct flight from Canada. If you do not meet these three requirements, you will require a valid passport. Canadians must also be in possession of a return ticket.
Canadian citizens transiting the United States when travelling to and from the Turks and Caicos Islands by air must comply with entry requirements to the U.S. For more detailed information, please see the Canada Border Services Agency's website.
Airlines have the right to refuse boarding to any passenger if they are not satisfied with the validity of the travel documents presented, regardless of the country's immigration entry rules. In order to avoid delays and other problems you should obtain a Canadian passport before initiating international travel and carry it for all visits outside Canada.

Vaccines to Consider
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

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.

Recommendation |
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in the Caribbean, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in the Caribbean. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
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.
Insects and Illness
In some areas in the Caribbean, certain insects carry and spread diseases like chikungunya, dengue fever, malaria and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is currently an outbreak of chikungunya in this country. Chikungunya is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, particularly around sunrise and sunset. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
Dengue fever
- Dengue fever occurs in this country. Dengue fever is a viral disease that can cause severe flu-like symptoms. In some cases it leads to dengue haemorrhagic fever, which can be fatal.
- The risk of dengue is higher during the daytime, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against dengue fever.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in some areas in the Caribbean, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
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.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks and impairs the immune system, resulting in a chronic, progressive illness known as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
High risk activities include anything which puts you in contact with blood or body fluids, such as unprotected sex and exposure to unsterilized needles for medications or other substances (for example, steroids and drugs), tattooing, body-piercing or acupuncture.
Medical services and facilities
Medical facilities are limited. Grand Turk has a small public hospital, and Providenciales has a public hospital as well as a few private clinics. Severe cases are often referred to Nassau or Miami.
Keep in Mind...
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.

Zaku Abumi (ザク・アブミ, Zaku Abumi) was a shinobi from Otogakure and a member of Team Dosu, which took part in the Chūnin Exams under covert orders from Orochimaru.
Unlike his team-mates, Zaku's background is briefly shown. The anime shows that he was an orphan that lived on the streets and stole for a living, and was almost always beaten for it. When Orochimaru found him, he told Zaku that he saw potential in him and offered to help him develop it in exchange for his loyalty, which Zaku accepted. From that day forward he refused to give up, even at the cost of his own life, not knowing that Orochimaru only took him in as a disposable pawn.
Like his team-mates, Zaku is overconfident about his powers, especially the ones coming from his arms, as noted by Sasuke Uchiha and the fact he went into elaborate detail about his abilities. As such, he believed no one could beat him, and had a strong desire to win; however, he manages to be unaware of the enemies' plan until it is too late, as seen with his last opponent Shino Aburame. Zaku also has a tendency to say whatever he wants without regarding the consequences, as he calls Chōji Akimichi fat, and then had a difficult time blocking the enraged genin, and then tells Sasuke that he is the one who injured Sakura Haruno, leading to the crippling of his arms. He was also described as loyal, and a show-off.
Zaku had spiky, dark hair and dark eyes. He wore a beige shirt with two black stripes and three prints of the kanji for death (死, shi) down the front. His forehead protector had an attached happuri under the cloth rather than connected to the metal plate, resembling Yamato's. As with his team-mates Dosu and Kin, he wore a snake patterned scarf around his neck.
He, like many Oto-nin, had been physically altered with unnatural enhancements that improved his abilities; in his case, he was fitted with hollow air tubes that extended through his arms and opened through his hands, allowing him to propel a combination of air pressure and sound in various ratios, controlled by his chakra. In his fight against Shino, Zaku claimed to be able to control the sound more precisely than simply firing it in one direction, but this was never shown. A proven downside of Zaku's ability was, that should the air tubes be clogged, it would result in a terrible backfire, as the air cannot escape out, instead they would burst out of the side of his arms, causing great backlash damage, to the point of having his arms being destroyed inside out.

Part I
Chūnin Exam Arc
Zaku and the rest of Team Dosu attacked Sakura during the second phase of the Chūnin Exams in their attempt to kill Sasuke. When Rock Lee arrived to help her, and used Front Lotus on Dosu, Zaku emitted sound air into the ground to soften his landing. Team 10 soon came to help as well, and took control of Kin's body, prompting Zaku to attack her to get her out of the way. Sasuke woke up during the attack, and noticed that someone had harmed Sakura. Zaku took credit for this, prompting Sasuke to dislocate his arm as punishment. Team Dosu promptly fled.
In the third stage preliminaries, he was matched against Shino Aburame. Because Zaku's arm was in a sling from his encounter with Sasuke, Shino advised him to forfeit the match. Zaku refused, and instead attacked Shino with his one good arm. In attacking, Shino was given an opportunity to box in Zaku with bugs, forcing Zaku to choose between attacking him or attacking the bugs, leaving the other to attack Zaku from behind. Zaku chose to attack both, and pulled his other arm out of its sling. As Zaku prepared to blast the two opposing forces, his arms detonated, making them unusable and putting him in serious pain (in the manga, his right hand was even blown off of his body. In the anime, his arms were still severely damaged but still attached to his torso). As Zaku writhed, Shino revealed that the tubes in Zaku's arms had been filled with his bugs, causing the pressure of Zaku's attack to go inward when it couldn't escape.
Invasion of Konoha Arc
Zaku, along with Kin, was used by Orochimaru as sacrifices to summon the First and Second Hokage's souls with Impure World Reincarnation.
Video Games
Zaku Abumi is a playable character in the following video games:
Game name | Japanese release | English release |
Naruto: Konoha Senki | 12 September 2003 |
- Zaku's name is derived from "to cut", which relates to his "air cutter" attack. It is also the sound of a person walking on snow or sand. With the former name meaning, he and his two team-mates have names relating to swords, fitting based on their aggressive behaviour and deadly intentions. However, based on the latter meaning, he and his two team-mates all have names that come from onomatopoeias, fitting since they come from the Otogakure. Their naming pattern (Slash, Clang, and Crunch) is similar to that of Snap, Crackle and Pop.
- The kanji on Zaku's shirt is "shi" (死, Literally meaning: death).
- During a flashback in the anime Zaku defeats a ninja from Takigakure.
- Abumi means stirrup. It's also the Japanese name for one of the three ear bones, stirrup.
- Like many of the other characters, Zaku appeared in the omake at the end of Naruto: Shippūden episode 129, along with the rest of Team Dosu.
- Zaku had a tendency to end his sentences with: "hm", just like Deidara.
- (To Kabuto) "Write this down on those cards of you, hm. I'm telling you, the three from 'Otogakure' will definitely be chūnin, hm." (「アンタの札に書いときな。"音隠れ"3名中忍確実ってな」, "Anta no kādo ni kaitoki na. 'Otogakure' sanmei chūnin kakujitsu tte na.")[2]
- (To Shino) "You should keep a trump card, hm!!" (「奥の手は取っておくものだよなァ!!」, "Oku no te wa totte oku mono da yo naa!!")[3]

Hong Kong Cultural Celebrations
One season, four festivals, hundreds of performers, thousands of years of tradition, hundreds of thousands of incense sticks, and who knows how many buns! Witness the timeless, intangible culture of Hong Kong in four festivals every spring.
Behind this modern and cosmopolitan city, rousing gongs and drums, colourful parades, ancient rituals and bizarre customs signal a celebration of its ancient Chinese past, with the birthdays of Tin Hau, Buddha and Tam Kung, plus the Cheung Chau Bun Festival.
Experience the energy, tradition and passion that are the very soul of contemporary Hong Kong.
- Date:
- 11 – 26 May 2015
Tin Hau's Birthday falls on the 23rd day of the third lunar month. You can find the Western calendar date here.
Hong Kong's maritime heritage ensures that Tin Hau, Goddess of the Sea and patron saint of fishermen, has a strong and loyal following here. On her birthday, locals flock to the more than 70 temples dedicated to her in Hong Kong to pray for safety, security, fine weather and full fishing nets during the coming year. So enduring is the reverence for Tin Hau in Hong Kong that this festival is even celebrated by many young people who are more likely to catch a fish in a seafood restaurant than on a trawler.
In Shap Pat Heung in Yuen Long, there is a colourful parade of fa pau (floral wreaths), lion dances and a fa pau raffle. There are also celebrations in Joss House Bay, where the oldest Tin Hau Temple in Hong Kong is located.
- Date:
- 11 May 2015
The Cheung Chau Bun Festival falls on the fifth to the ninth days of the fourth lunar month. You can find the Western calendar date here.
Every year, the people of Cheung Chau get busy making papier-mâché effigies of deities, preparing costumes, baking buns and building a bamboo tower. They're preparing for the thousands of people that will soon descend upon their tiny island for what Time.com deemed one of the world's 'Top 10 Quirky Local Festivals'.
It all started with a plague that devastated Cheung Chau in the late Qing dynasty (1644–1911). The islanders built an altar in front of the Pak Tai Temple and petitioned the god Pak Tai to drive off the evil spirits besieging the island, while parading statues of deities through the narrow lanes of their village. The plague ended after the performance of these Taoist rituals and 100 years later the rituals are still performed in a festival that is listed as an intangible part of China's cultural heritage.
For the locals, this is the continuation of their customs. The islanders have a strong sense of community and those who have left to work elsewhere will return for this celebration. For the thousands who crowd the ferry boats to the erstwhile pirate haven, this is the spectacular Cheung Chau Bun Festival. The weeklong event includes Taoist ceremonies and music, a parade, lion dances, drum beating and an exciting Bun Scrambling Competition involving a tower of buns.
- Date:
- 22-26 May 2015

Quirky festivals are just a taste of what Hong Kong's islands have to offer. Explore them your way with this app or explore the island on foot with the Cheung Chau Walking Route!
Buddha's Birthday falls on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. You can find the Western calendar date here.
The Birthday of the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama), the founder of Buddhism, also called the Buddha Bathing Festival, is one of the most spiritual and unique festivals celebrated in Hong Kong.
According to legend, nine dragons sprayed water to bathe the baby Buddha at birth. To commemorate this, at Buddhist temples across the city, devotees gather to pay their respects to this revered deity by bathing statues of him in bowls of water. The ritual is believed to aid in the purification of one's soul. One of the grandest ceremonies is held at the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, home of the Big Buddha.
Before and after the Birthday of Buddha, celebrants also eat special green cookies – and if these sound unappetising, that's because they are. These cookies are deliberately quite bitter, as eating them represents passing through hardship to enjoy better things.
- Date:
- 25 May 2015
Tam Kung's Birthday falls on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. You can find the Western calendar date here.
Like Tin Hau, the Goddess of the Sea, Tam Kung is revered amongst fishermen and coastal communities; however, the worship of this deity is unique to Hong Kong. Born in the Huizhou prefecture in Guangdong province during the Yuan dynasty (1206-1368), Tam Kung was capable of forecasting the weather and healing the ill when he was a child. His statue is usually portrayed as an 80-year-old man with the face of a 12-year-old child because he is believed to have achieved wisdom at a young age and learned the secret of remaining forever young.

Hi Tim,
I an writing you today as I need the answer of an Oracle expert before making a huge mistake.
We have a two nodes RAC cluster running on Solaris 10, and we are going to migrate it from Oracle 10g R2 to 11g R2 on Solaris 11. We have required the help of an external consultant to help us in this migration. My question is about the RMAN recovery catalog linked to RAC instances. The consultant asked us to create two recovery catalogs, on two different servers (virtual machines), and on each site, each of them backing up one node of the cluster.
For instance imagine site A and B. We have one node of our RAC cluster running on site A and the other one on site B. I was thinking to create one RMAN catalog in a database hosted on a virtual machine on site A, and it would backup one node of our RAC, either instance on node A or B. But the consultant told us in case of site A becomes unavailable and if unfortunately we have to perform a restore/recovery of one instance in node B then as the recovery catalog is on site A it wouldn't be available and so impossible to perform the restore/recovery. So to avoid this situation he advised us to create two RMAN recovery catalogs, one on each node, and each RMAN recovery catalog would backup each instances on each nodes of our RAC. So if we have a database named DB1, one instance of site A named DB1_A, and the other instance on node B named DB1_B. Then recovery catalog on site A would backup instance DB1_A, and recovery catalog on site B would backup instance DB1_B.
What do you think of that? Is that pertinent or not at all?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Does that sound safe? Cooking 'za on steel? I know the cast iron pan method is popular right now but fabricated steel? It is safe?
Don, what do you mean by "clean" and "cleanest?"Stainless steel differers from steel by the addition of chromium not by a lack of impurities.Craig
picking up a piece of 15 inch by 17 inch by1/4 inch steel Friday will be free Sunday evening to experiment will document and post
Get a ¼-inch-thick sheet of steel from a metal fabricator (Search online for a local one), have it cut to the size of your oven shelf and insert it in the rack closest to the broiler.

Fish and Seafood – Canadian Industry
The responsibility for the fish and seafood industry is split between Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) which manages the production end of the business (that is, fish - whether wild or farmed - when they are in the water) and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) which provides export market-development support for a wide variety of Canada's food and beverage products, including fish and seafood.
- Access a series of fact sheets on various species of fish and shellfish produced in Canadian waters.
- Access a directory of Canadian fish and seafood suppliers. Please note that these companies are primarily wholesalers and most are not equipped to sell directly to consumers.
- An industry overview gives you all the facts and figures, and an events calendar will tell you which international trade shows will have a Canadian presence.

This historic city of Krakow is situated on the Vistula River at the foot of Wawel Hill in Little Poland region. It is the capital of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship since 1999; previously, it was the capital of Kraków Voivodeship from the 14th century.
Kraków has traditionally been one of the leading scientific, cultural and artistic centres of the country, the former residence of the Polish kings and a national capital, considered by many to remain the spiritual heart of Poland due to its history of more than a thousand years. Kraków is also a major centre of local and international tourism, attracting seven million visitors per year.
When in Krakow, take a walk in the historic centre and admire its rich Renaissance architecture with some intersting examples of Baroque and Gothic. Among the most important historic buildings are: the Royal Castle and Cathedral, the medieval Old Town with its beautiful square, old churches and museums, just to name a few attractions.

The corporate history of Ogilvy PR dates to September 3, 1980, when the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, founded by advertising legend David Ogilvy created its subsidiary Ogilvy & Mather Public Relations Inc. (O&MPR).
The following year, a Washington, DC, office was opened under the name of Ogilvy & Mather Public Affairs. Current Ogilvy PR chairman Marcia Silverman is one of the public affairs agency's four original employees.
O&MPR experienced steady growth throughout the 1980s, opening a London office in 1982; offices in Mumbai and New Delhi, India, and Indonesia in 1985; and a Taiwan office in 1986. In 1986, O&MPR, with worldwide revenues of $31.7 million, was ranked third among all PR firms.
The 1980s also saw two acquisitions. In 1983, O&M Worldwide acquired Dudley-Anderson-Yutzy Public Relations, Inc. (D-A-Y), the world's oldest continuously operating PR firm. In 1986, O&M Worldwide acquired the independent public relations firm of Adams & Rinehart, whose 80 employees specialized in issues related to corporate mergers and acquisitions.
Later that year, O&M Worldwide formally linked its PR operations, creating the Ogilvy & Mather Public Relations Group, consisting of Adams & Rinehart, D-A-Y and O&M Public Affairs, whose Washington, DC staff had now grown to 25 employees.
In 1989, D-A-Y was formally folded into O&MPR. Also in 1989, the United Kingdom-based holding company, The WPP Group, acquired the Ogilvy companies, including the O&MPR Group, which was subsequently renamed the (Ogilvy PR Group) Ogilvy Public Relations Group.
That same year, Jody Powell, former press secretary to US President Jimmy Carter, was named head of the Washington, DC, public affairs office, which was renamed Powell, Adams and Rinehart.
By 1990, Ogilvy PR Group, with $62 million in revenues and 759 employees, was the fourth largest company in the industry.
In 1991, Jody Powell left the Washington, DC office to open a rival public affairs firm with Sheila Tate, former press secretary to First Lady Nancy Reagan.
Then 10-year Ogilvy PR Group veteran Marcia Silverman took over as head of the Washington, DC office, and the name was changed to Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart. O&MPR; Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart; and Adams & Rinehart were consolidated into a single company doing business as Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart.
The agency opened its first offices in China in 1995, in Shanghai and Beijing.
In 1998, Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart was renamed Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide (Ogilvy PR). The Ogilvy & Mather PR Asia/Pacific network of 17 offices also came under the Ogilvy PR umbrella.
The expanded Ogilvy PR opened offices in Taiwan (Republic of China); in Korea; in Bangalore and Chennai, India; and in the United States in Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Dallas and Boston. The year 1998 also brought the acquisition of the high-tech PR firm Alexander Communications, which was renamed Alexander Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide.
In 1999, David Ogilvy, founder of the Ogilvy companies, died at the age of 88.
That year, Ogilvy PR acquired Feinstein Kean Healthcare (FKH), the largest U.S. independent biotechnology and health care specialist. The agency also acquired B/W/R, the corporate and entertainment specialist PR firm, as well as Sector Communications and Magellan Medical Communications. The latter two UK companies were rolled into Ogilvy PR.
By 1999, Ogilvy PR was ranked ninth worldwide, with revenues of $125 million and a 1,100-member staff.
In 2000, Ogilvy PR expanded in Asia with the opening of offices in Hyderabad, India, Colombo and Sri Lanka. The Prague, Czech Republic, company known as O&MFocus came under the Ogilvy PR name.
In 2001, the Sacramento, California, firm of Deen + Black, with offices in San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles, was acquired by Ogilvy PR, and Ogilvy PR opened its first office in Africa in Nairobi, Kenya. In the Asia/Pacific region, a joint venture with The Singleton Group created the biggest public relations operation in Australia, consisting of five firms.
In 2002, Marcia Silverman was named CEO of Ogilvy PR. Silverman's prior position, as president of the Americas, was filled by Paul Hicks, who had headed the New York office. That year, the agency also acquired H-Line, creating China's largest PR enterprise.
In 2005, the agency acquired The Federalist Group, a premier government affairs firm in Washington, DC. The company was subsequently renamed Ogilvy Government Relations. That same year, a comprehensive digital marketing team, 360° Digital Influence, is launched in the Washington, DC office. Ogilvy PR also appointed Christopher Graves as president and CEO of Ogilvy PR/Asia Pacific.
In 2006, Marcia Silverman, CEO of Ogilvy PR, joined the Ogilvy & Mather India Board. Martin Liptrot was appointed as regional CEO for Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EAME).
In 2007, Ogilvy PR hosted its first ever "Bring Your Parents To Work Day".
In addition, Ogilvy PR expanded 360° Digital Influence to offer its services globally and provide clients worldwide with digital communications solutions aligned with the emergence of social media.
In 2008, Ogilvy PR made its groundbreaking 360° Digital Influence offering an official practice.
That same year, the agency opened new offices in Buenos Aires, Kolkata, Karachi, Milan and Tunis.
The following year, Ogilvy 360° Digital Influence (DI) launched Insider Circle, a Influencer Relationship Management (IRM) influencer activation platform allowing brands to build and scale relationships with key brand influencers.
In addition, Ogilvy 360° Digital Influence (DI) launched a new business objective-driven model that provides a measurement framework for social media effectiveness—Conversation Impact.
Developed in 2009 by Ogilvy PR's 360° Digital Influence (DI) team in partnership with Netvibes, The Daily Influence (www.thedailyinfluence.com) serves as an RSS reader and widget platform delivering Social Media, Word of Mouth, Public Relations and Marketing news and information updates into a single interface.
In 2009, Ogilvy PR expanded with new offices in Denmark, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
On January 2010, Christopher Graves was named Global CEO of Ogilvy PR. Grave's prior position of President and Regional CEO of Ogilvy PR/Asia Pacific was filled by Steve Dahllof, who previously served as Managing Director of Ogilvy PR's Global Strategy+Planning Group.
