THE Vodafone Fiji Hibiscus Festival is not only about glamour and popularity.
It is also an event where contestants from the different categories highlight issues of concerns that will help in the betterment of the country.
So with this in mind, 20-year-old Calev Kavitesh Chandra is focused on highlighting issues on racial discrimination.
He describes himself as active, kind and loves to be physically fit.
Mr Chandra is a USP student pursuing a bachelor science degree on Computer and Information System.
He is sponsored by Design One and will contest the Kings crown. Mr Chandra said his mother was his most prized possession.
"My mum, words cannot describe her, she brought me up as a fine young man, taught me things which the society appreciated and my education. If it wasn't for her hard work, I'd be probably begging right now," he said.
He said he would highlight issues on racial discrimination.
"It will also give me the privilege of giving back to the society. Being a role model as a Fijian and striding forward for a better future for our country. Once I become the next Hibiscus King, it will be my duty to serve the people of Fiji not only through what I will be advocating on but also other issues like climate change, sexual abuse, and discrimination against children and more."
Mr Chandra said he loved challenges and this year's festival would be a way to advocate on issues such as racial discrimination.
He sees himself to be a successful software engineer and a helping hand to the society in five years time.

Among them the MEP and self-described "Old Whig", Daniel Hannan, the Danish journalist responsible for publishing of controversial Prophet Muhammad's cartoons in 2005 and also a staunch defender of free speech, Flemming Rose, and the man who ended Orban's two-thirds majority in Hungary, Zoltan Kesz.

"For the history of our race, and each individual's experience, are sown thick with evidences that a truth is not hard to kill, and that a lie well told is immortal." Mark Twain "Advice to Youth," 1882
An old joke goes: "How can you tell when a politician is lying?" The answer: "When his lips are moving." While that may not be universally true, lying and deceit have infested our culture to an extent we no longer expect the truth. Lying is not new, but it has become pervasive.
White lies have always been around; they have always been acceptable and, in fact, are critical to a smoothly-functioning society. What characterizes such lies is that they are told to make someone else feel good, with little or no harm inflicted. For example, when my wife shows off a new outfit it is in my interest to express admiration. In turn, she will say things to inflate my ego, while (I am sure) crossing her fingers behind her back. Lying begins early. I recall occasions when, as a child, lying was preferable to the spanking I would get for a broken window or letting goats into the garden. The 2009 film "The Invention of Lying" depicted what the world would be like without lying – intentionally blunt and cruel, with no religion and no fiction. →']);" class="more-link">Continue readingby

Mr. Obama will be a relatively young man when he retires from the most powerful position on earth – the Presidency of the United States. He will be 55, just a year older than Bill Clinton was when he left office, and seven years younger than was George W. Bush. What will he do for an encore? Will he go back to Hawaii and paint, like Mr. Bush? Will he use his years in public service as a means to accumulate personal wealth, as Bill Clinton has done? Or will he use the Presidency of the U.S. as a stepping stone to become the leader of the world – free and not free?

The Austrian school of economic thought has returned to Europe after an American renaissance. French economist Pascal Salin represents a new generation of European "Austrians." They are trying to explain to an audience that is still generally hostile to economic freedom that capitalism didn't cause the recent crisis in the world economy. Grégoire Canlorbe sat down with Professor Salin to discuss Austrian business cycle theory (ABCT) and how to promote economic thinking to a skeptical public.by

Free speech is fundamental to ensuring that any country remains free. Trifling with it should not be taken lightly. Three recent events in the U.S. remind us of its value. One was the Prophet Muhammad Art Exhibition and Contest in Garland, Texas. That incident created a debate between "free" speech and "hate" speech. Another was the PEN (poets, essayists and novelists) award to Charlie Hebdo, which was boycotted by some prominent writers who claimed the magazine is "racist." The third, and scariest, was the assertion by Hillary Clinton and others that the Constitution may have to be amended; so that Congress in its wisdom can determine what is appropriate and what is not in regard to political speech during Presidential campaigns.

The most visible teaching moment from Baltimore was the unrehearsed scene of a mother chasing after her son whom she had seen on television throwing rocks at police. It was important because it manifested the hurt and determination of a mother for a son whom she loved and who was at risk of destroying his life. She was not angry at the Baltimore police. She did not look upon herself as a victim. She understood right from wrong: that no matter the provocation, it was wrong for her son to cover his face and throw rocks at the cops.
The immediate source of the riots, as we all know, was the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody. But the violence that followed had little to do with reasons suggested by the media and those like Al Sharpton: Black youth alienation, police violence toward African-American teens, poverty, White racism and economic inequality. Those are real and/or perceived consequences, not antecedents to the root causes that divide a nation by race, wealth and social status.

Former Electrolux workers retrain for jobs, but new work doesn't always follow
GREENVILLE, Mich. -- When the Electrolux refrigerator factory shut down in 2006, idling almost 3,000 workers, this self-proclaimed "Refrigerator Capital of the World" put the last two locally produced units in a museum.
And the town itself might follow -- a once-thriving community in central Michigan, overwhelmed by economic forces beyond its control and seemingly bound for history's dust bin.
Waves of layoffs hit other factories. New startups cut back. Hard times hit local stores, service firms and government agencies.
Like hundreds of other American towns ravaged by the recession, Greenville learned how losing jobs can spread like a contagion through families and institutions that form the heart of a community.
Things got so bad that a special office was created recently to help more than 1,000 area school children who had no real homes.
"It's a heinous situation," said Brenda Greenhoe, director of the special office.
Greenville, though, is more than a sad story. It's a petri dish for testing one of the most widely prescribed remedies for reviving troubled communities -- job training.
The idea promoted by economists, business leaders and politicians is to send unemployed workers back to school to learn new skills for different jobs required in the new economy.
Only then, the argument goes, can such workers and the country as a whole regain the broad-based, sustainable prosperity that long defined American life with an economy that most workers can count on to build a better future.
"The fact is, we understand what it takes to build a stronger economy," President Barack Obama said recently. "Above all, it requires training and educating our citizens to out-compete workers from other countries. ... That's how we're going to help more Americans climb into the middle class and stay there."
But Greenville's experience is both an encouraging tale of the potential for revitalization and a cautionary story of how hard it is to make job-training work on a broad scale -- especially without a comprehensive government plan to make sure that new jobs exist and that companies offering them remain successful.
In the past decade alone, some 42,000 U.S. factories have closed. No state was hit as hard as Michigan. Government leaders, including those in Greenville, responded by betting heavily on clean technologies, offering cash and tax incentives to attract companies involved in wind farms, solar energy and electric cars.
And, by consolidating a hodgepodge of federal programs, it provided as much as $5,000 a year for tuition and books for up to two years, as long as workers attended approved schools and enrolled in certificate or degree programs in fields of study deemed to have better job prospects.
During the past five years, hundreds of laid-off Greenville workers went back to school. Some sat in classrooms from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. studying hydraulics and vacuum technology. Others trained in health care, transportation and the clean technologies widely seen as having bright futures.
Greenville, a town of 8,000 people set amid rolling fields and scattered lakes northeast of Grand Rapids, has worked hard to make retraining pay off. Nearly 600 former Electrolux workers took training at nearby Montcalm Community College, said Bob Ferrentino, the school's president.
Hopes soared when the town recruited a solar panel maker, United Solar Ovonic, which built a state-of-the-art plant amid fields of potato and other crops.
But the results have been mixed, for reasons that go to the heart of the unemployment problem in Greenville and the rest of the country. Overall, about 55 percent of the retrained workers had jobs as of last year.
The placement rate for those who trained specifically for Uni-Solar is similar. Ferrentino said more than 100 went through that program; about 50 work there now.
Penny Olmstead, who trained in solar technology and initially went to work at Uni-Solar, is an example of how job training alone -- unsupported by comprehensive policies at the national and state levels -- can end in disappointment.
Uni-Solar began with a hiring surge that by 2009 had climbed to 422 workers, including Olmstead. But the Greenville plant's primary market is Europe, and when sales in Italy and France declined as a result of the recession and other factors, Uni-Solar cut back.
Today, it employs only 230 workers here, and Olmstead is no longer among them.
And both Greenville and Uni-Solar also were hurt because state and federal policies simply weren't in place to support them. Unlike the United States, for instance, Canada subsidizes consumers who adopt solar power, but only if they buy solar panels with domestically manufactured contents.
That has prompted Uni-Solar to build a new plant in Canada that will employ 80 workers there, instead of expanding its facility here.
"If we can sell, we can hire," said Jay Knoll, an executive of Uni-Solar's parent company.
Canada is not alone in adopting comprehensive programs of subsidies, tax provisions and other incentives to foster domestic industries. Germany has an elaborate program to support German automobile, electronics and other manufacturing and to discourage its companies from moving operations overseas.
The United States has resisted these "industrial policies," with notable exceptions such as price subsidies for farmers. Instead of a government-coordinated approach, the U.S. usually has left matters to the private sector, and its multinational companies have moved tens of thousands of jobs overseas.
The Uni-Solar plant is the size of 10 football fields but so highly automated that it requires only a few dozen workers at any one time.
"That was supposed to be the big savior for this area, and it never happened," said Mike Wills, a former Electrolux employee who works as a supervisor at God's Love Closet, a men's shelter where Wills himself once lived.
The shelter didn't exist before Electrolux closed, making it one more sign of how the effects of joblessness spreads through a community.

After leaving the game that I love to establish myself in the professional world, I moved to Florida where I have been juggling my career, pursuing my doctoral degree, staying active, and appreciating the daily sunshine. I enjoy the outdoors, traveling, sports, restaurants, laughing, going to cultural events, and socializing with genuine people. I am a very determined person that believes in setting lofty goals, but I also want to overcome these challenges with a smile on my face and enjoy the ride along the way. I try to instill a sense of positivity in everything that I do and into the people that surround me. I am very grateful to have had an extremely loving family with parents that guided and supported me in every single endeavor that I set upon in this life ... from the countless soccer games all over the globe, my seemingly neverending road in academia, my various career choices, and even through all of my mistakes. My father taught me to always do what is right without any type recognition and to ensure that you have an encouraging and helpful influence on any lives that you touch. In the words of the famous Dr. Covey, when a person lives a principle-centered life, everyday is an opportunity to infuse the values that will make our small worlds a better place for others around us. I am a firm believer in paying good deeds forward without expecting anything in return except for that great feeling you get inside your soul. I am looking for someone with a sense of style, confidence, character, the ability to laugh a lot, and a passion for living life.

'Buildings built without any plan are treated as cases of 100 p.c. deviation'
Water and drainage connections being provided
City requires planned and healthy growth
COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore Consumer Cause has expressed serious concern over the non-availability of adequate fire safety provisions, fire fighting equipment and fire escape in multi-storeyed commercial buildings where public gather in large numbers.
Even after the Kumbakonam and Srirangam fire accidents that took a heavy toll of lives, no concrete effort is being taken to prevent such incidents in public buildings visited by thousands of people every day, secretary of the organisation K. Kathirmathiyon has said in a letter to the Secretary of Municipal Administration and Water Supply.
The letter alleged that the Coimbatore Corporation was not concerned about the unauthorised and unsafe public buildings. The existence of those buildings might not even be known to the appropriate town planning authority as the Corporation merely collected penalty and made tax assessment for those buildings. It also provided water connections and other facilities. The Corporation did not seem to have rejected applications from any of these buildings for tax assessment or water and drainage connections by telling the owners that these structures were unauthorised or unsafe.
Even if the buildings were not approved or did not have parking space or were not safe for the public, the Corporation assessed them for tax and levied just a penalty. And, then water and drainage connections were also provided.
Buildings constructed without any plan were treated only as cases of 100 per cent deviation. This way they were given the same concession as those buildings whose structures were a deviation from the approved plans.
"The Coimbatore Corporation never identified those buildings as unauthorised constructions. The peculiar situation of 100 per cent deviation prevailed only in Coimbatore. The same facility available to approved and safe buildings are provided to unauthorised and unsafe public buildings also," Mr. Kathirmathiyon said. "Except the collection of a meagre amount as penalty from unsafe public buildings, the Corporation had not bothered about the safety and convenience of the general public."
Even in the case of penalty, the Corporation had reduced it by 50 per cent in 2003. (It was 50 paise a sq.ft. since 1993. Now, it is 25 paise a sq. ft.). Till date the Corporation took no action on any of the unsafe public buildings under Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation Act. The consumer body said its writ petition against the unsafe public buildings and the treating of the unauthorised public buildings as 100 per cent deviation was pending before the High Court. Unfortunately, even now the Corporation was collecting tax from these buildings as if they were only cases of plan deviations. And, amenities were also provided to these by the Corporation.
The consumer body said hopes of structures coming up in adherence to rules had also been belied now. Most of the buildings coming up now also fall under the same category of the existing unsafe structures.
The city required a planned and healthy growth. For this, minimum safety and facilities for the public, including parking area, should be available in such buildings. Hence the Corporation should be stopped from making tax assessment, providing water and drainage connections to such structures.

This happens with alarming frequency all over the country among populations you might and might not expect. There are of course lunatics who come up with painfully stupid ideas: A convicted rapist in Florida wants the judge who sentenced him killed, and so he orders a hit, from prison. But there are also people with higher standing in the community: An Air Force sergeant wants help eliminating someone who heard him threaten his squadron leaders. An entrepreneur in Kentucky, facing a financial setback, thinks about having the hit man blow up his movie theater with his business partner in it, but decides instead to just have him killed at home (tonight). Love often plays a predominant role in the stories of people who hire hit men. The jilted and the scorned. The hopeless and the desperate: A woman in New Jersey wants her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend shot in the head ("Gone, gone to the moon") and the boyfriend shot in the foot. She's already picked out her black funeral outfit. Women. Men. Old. Young. This race or that. A woman in Colorado Springs is so sick of her friend running her mouth and possibly exposing her awesome check-washing service that she wants the woman shot and driven to the mountains to rot. The customer's name is Vanessa Carr, and she is, she says, having a bad day. Like the others, she has no idea she is being recorded when she orders the hit.
CARR: I got an eviction notice today. So now I have to fork out money for that, find a new place, and now my dog is pregnant. And I'm not keeping any of those puppies. I'm gonna sell all the puppies.
HIT MAN: Yeah, make some money off of that shit.
CARR: I can make at least nine grand.
HIT MAN: Maybe that happened for a reason.
CARR: That's what I'm saying.
HIT MAN: Nine grand would be just about right.
The hit man will sit listening to this stuff, agreeing to the terms, cash, guns, drugs, puppies, whatever. Sometimes people want proof before they'll pay. For example, photos, which can be a pain. The hit man will have to stage the crime scene, fake blood, fake gunshot wound—a whole Hollywood production. The hard part is teaching the intended victim how to play dead.
When the cops swoop in for the takedown, Hunt will get busted along with the bad guy so as not to blow his cover, and when the coast is clear, he'll reemerge on the streets, ready to resume his dirtbag work. Other federal, state, and local law-enforcement agencies have undercover units, but hit-man work is an ATF specialty.
It is impossible to know how many of the 6,000 unsolved murders that occur in the U.S. each year are the result of real hits by real hit men.
Some cases bother Hunt more than others. A few years back, an FBI agent contacts him about a woman in the Southwest who is offering $5,000 to murder her former son-in-law. Hunt gets the number and calls: "I hear you need some help." She's a teacher. She wants to stop the man who she says is molesting her grandchild. Her former son-in-law. He's going for custody. She has to stop him. Can the hit man make it look like an accident? A gas leak? A car wreck? You have to do something. The hit man agrees, as he always agrees: "This is my line of work." The teacher sends a package in the mail. Pictures with yellow Post-it notes indicating who is who. "[Granddaughter] and her mom (protect)." The address. Maps. Explicit instructions, "rewrite info…burn this," where the monster will be, when, date of birth, and two $50 bills for a down payment.
Law-enforcement officers pick her up the next day. The charge is federal murder for hire.
Outside the Loaf 'N Jug, one awkward matter Lucero needs to address is the fact that he doesn't have any money for the hit. "I can't even get a job because of what she did," he tells the hit man, which is another whole story probably, so the hit man doesn't ask. They've been at this nearly an hour.
"I've got unemployment coming," says Lucero. "I'm looking at $250 every two weeks. I could throw three-quarters of it your way."
"I'm always looking for hardware," the hit man says. "You worth anything? You got guns?"
"Just my handgun and my grandfather's AK-47."
"It can be converted."
Lucero tells the hit man about a friend who makes remote-control pipe bombs. Would the hit man like some of those? Why, yes, the hit man would love to know about the friends and all the other people Lucero might know involved in the sale and distribution of black-market explosives.
For lent last year, the hit man, who is not really a hit man, gave up beer. In his cubicle at the ATF field office, he has photos and inspirational sayings tacked up. PEOPLE SLEEP PEACEFULLY IN THEIR BEDS AT NIGHT BECAUSE ROUGH MEN STAND READY TO DO VIOLENCE ON THEIR BEHALF. A crucifix, skulls, a pirate sword, an image of Yosemite Sam. WHOEVER FIGHTS MONSTERS SHOULD SEE TO IT THAT IN THE PROCESS HE DOES NOT BECOME A MONSTER.
