The Fourth Division (第四部隊, Daiyon Butai), also known as the Long-Range Battle Division (戦闘遠距離部隊, Sentō Enkyori Butai) is a battalion in the Allied Shinobi Forces led by Gaara of Sunagakure, formed in preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Upon its formation, the Fourth Division is mobilised to the rocky and barren terrain near the southern edge of the Land of Lightning. Gaara scatters a significant quantity of sensing sand in front of his unit which allowed him to detect an approaching, reincarnated Mū, the Second Tsuchikage.[1] He later uses his Third Eye to observe the opposition, only to see him summon the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage and his father, the Fourth Kazekage.[2]
Knowing four Kage will be difficult to defeat, headquarters dispatches Ōnoki to provide assistance, in particular regards to countering the threat posed by Mū's techniques.[3] Headquarters also restructures the Fourth Division to prepare for the inevitable encounter with the Kage, while accounting for the other concurrent battles taking place. These orders dictate that the Fourth Division will start to retreat while forming into a sideways chevron (">") formation. They are then expected to keep the opposition at bay, until the top part of their arrangement can break away and provide assistance to the overwhelmed First Division, with them only returning accompanied by further aid once these enemies are defeated.[4]
Acting in accordance with this strategy, Shikamaru Nara successfully leads part of their forces to the First Division, leaving the remainder of the division to continue their withdrawal and await the Kage's response. Immediately upon their arrival, these vital reinforcements are instrumental in sealing the rampaging Kinkaku, with Shikamaru adhering to his father's instructions by collaborating with both Chōji Akimichi and the Fifth Division's Ino Yamanaka in order to accomplish this deed.[5] Continuing the confrontation, the subsection of the Fourth Division is split amongst numerous assignments occurring throughout the battlefield, with the current generation Ino–Shika–Chō employed once again in the intention of defeating their deceased mentor, Asuma Sarutobi.[6] Despite encountering difficulties in completing such an arduous task, due in part to their reluctance of opposing a former comrade, a freshly resolved Chōji eventually manages to immobilise Asuma and then in an attempt to conclude the battle, sorties to the other areas in need of assistance.[7] Annihilating the remaining opposition, relief momentarily embraces the battlefield, until Tobi summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and commands it to attack.[8] Sustaining considerable casualties throughout the duration of the confrontation and in the wake of the enormous creature, the judgment is made to attend to the wounded during the night, before proceeding to converge with the rest of the Fourth Division the following day.[9]
Relentlessly pursued by the reincarnated Kage throughout the entire night and unable to maintain such a stance for much longer, Gaara and Ōnoki decided that it was now time to go on the offensive, if only to observe their adversaries' reaction. Unleashing a colossal wave of sand with the intention of restraining and then obliterating the opposition in the ensuing chaos, both of the attacks prove ineffective in the face of the Fourth Kazekage's Gold Dust and Mū's counter respectively.[10] After a brief reprieve as the two sides converse, with Gaara's history and status amongst the discussed, the battle recommences amidst a collision of gold and sand. Finally receiving the awaited signal, the remainder of the division advances along a broad front, just as Gaara pelts the opposition's position. Utilising this distraction to restrain the enemy in an immobilising embrace, Mū and Ōnoki become separated from the main engagement in the resultant confusion.[11] A tearful Gaara then proceeds to complete his father's binding, before attempting to do the same with the remaining Kage, however, the two easily break free of the sand's confines when their bodies' react instinctively towards this threat. Storming the other shinobi as they maintain their approach, the recovering troops quickly encircle and besiege the unconstrained enemy, while elsewhere Ōnoki begins to experience difficulty in confronting his former mentor alone. In light of the rising fatalities, both the Mizukage and Raikage divulge their respective weaknesses to hasten their defeat, but causalities continue to mount due to the former's summon.[12]
They were eventually able to seal Mū and later the Third Raikage with the aid of a Naruto clone who had appeared on the battlefield. The section of the division had however, been dwindled down to a handful of shinobi by the time both battles were over. With this, those that were left headed out to backup Gaara and the other half of their division that was facing the Second Mizukage.
Immediately after the Second Mizukage's defeat to Gaara and Ōnoki, it is revealed that Mū evaded being sealed by splitting his body into two exact and entirely independent parts. After more time passes, Mū performs the Summoning Technique and summons Madara Uchiha. After the division is alerted by a sensor that someone was coming, Gaara stares in shock as he sees Mū and Madara Uchiha appear on a cliff. Gaara wonders what was going on, drawing their attention to Madara's eyes that gave away the fact that he was reincarnated. On this revelation the division stands in shock wondering just who the masked man that claimed to be Madara really was then. Madara then fought the Fourth Division and quickly took the upper hand. He used his power to draw a meteorite. Ōnoki flew into the sky and used his Earth Release: Super Light-Weight Rock Technique in an attempt to stop it. Along with the aid of Gaara and his sand, he was finally able to stop the meteorite. However, Madara quickly drew another meteorite which collided with the first one. According to Ao who is at the Alliance's Headquarters, most of the Fourth Division was killed. Madara's attack on the Fourth Division was not over as he decided to test his Wood Release on them. A Naruto clone, who had been given more chakra by the Nine-Tails destroyed the opposing forest. Ōnoki prepared to take on Madara. Just about in time, Tsunade and A arrives using Mabui's Heavenly Transfer Technique, repelling Madara and Mū. Mei Terumī also arrived with Genma Shiranui and Raidō Namiashi, through the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In order to move forward, we must first look back. I've got to understand and accept why and how I've gotten to this point. Sad, lonely, insecure. A little over a year ago, I wrote an unapologetically real and uncensored post about exactly what raced through my head. Actually, I shouldn't use the past tense. These words still race through my head. Below are a few exceprts from that post. (To read it in its entirety, click HERE. My Personal and Private Struggle with Weight, Body Image, and Self-Confidence)
Truthfully, I can't bring myself to read the entire post. It takes me back to a place I never thought I'd be at again but after a rollercoaster of emotions during the past month, here I am. In my own personal hell.
I got in the right mindset. I got my diet right. I got back together with a trainer I trusted. A friend who I could I let my guard down with. But after less than a month, he stopped showing up. He stopped answering my calls. He completely stopped.
It makes me so sad. Why did he give up on me? I worked hard. Why didn't he? My nightmare came true. Not only was he my trainer. He was my friend. And he dropped me. He didn't care. He doesn't care. Screw him. I care.
Below you'll hear a clip from the morning radio show I co-host. This is the most real radio I've done, ever. Listen as I share about my recent disappointment and my cry for help.
So what now? After that clip aired, I was bombarded with messages from friends and strangers alike. I read every tweet, email, and text. I was overwhelmed but through it all, I discovered a couple of new potential trainers. This week I'll be meeting with them and planning my new route to success.
This journey is about making yourself happy. The only way to be happy a week, a month, a year from now is to simply start today. Be happy with one day. Go to bed tonight knowing you accomplished one day because that's all it takes to start! Just one day.
Please stay tuned for more "Weight Loss Wednesday" posts and in the meantime, you'll still get what you expect from this blog. More "What's Ellen Tailor Wearing" photos, favorite beauty products, and more.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Left to look after his sister and grandmother, Malaipet started fighting for money in order to pay for his sisters' schooling. Recognizing that his son could further contribute to the family's income, his father sent Malaipet to a Muay Thai training camp. Malaipet was only six-years old.
When Malaipet reached adolescence, he was already a force to be reckoned with. After fighting more than 250 shin-splitting fights in Bangkok, he earned his first real win and captured the World Intercontinental Championship – launching him into international stardom.

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says he doesn't know how long a planned renovation of passenger terminals and aircraft gates at O'Hare International Airport will be delayed.
Daley says city officials are negotiating with United Airlines and American Airlines, which now say they no longer can afford to invest in the $3.6 billion World Gateway Project.
Daley says new terminals eventually will be needed at O'Hare.
Officials from both airlines say they are ending their involvement in the project for the foreseeable future.

Artist's Loft™ Art Bouquet ProjectItem# 27274Ready for some eye-popping art work for your walls? Use Artitst's Loft 4"x4" canvases to create mini works of art that look as good together as they do apart!
Getting Started
Step 1 Choose flower images from your own photos or ones you gather from magazines. Consider the use of printed patterns like photos of flowers, dresses or even real fabrics.
Step 2 To get started, draw inspiration from the colors in the photographs you have collected.
Acrylic Transfers
Step 3 Select image of your choice: newspaper, magazine, photograph or computer laser (not ink-jet) print. Make a photocopy of your selected image in either black and white or color.
Step 4 Position photocopy image side-up on to a non-stick surface and tape around the edges.
Step 5 Using the size 8 Bright brush, apply 1–2 coats of gloss gel. Note: The image may buckle slightly when gloss gel is applied. Apply each coat 1/16"–1/8" thick. If applying two coats, allow first coat to thoroughly dry before applying second coat (approximately 24–48 hours).
Step 6 Cut around tape and remove image from surface. Submerge in lukewarm water and soak 10–15 minutes. Do not soak paper longer than 20 minutes.
Step 7 Remove image from water and using your fingers, gently rub off paper from back of image. Rub off top layer of paper only and submerge image into container of warm water. Repeat this step until only the image remains.
Step 8 Blot with paper or cloth towel. Place flat between layers of wax paper. Weight top and let dry, ensuring that image dries flat.
Step 9 Remove when dry (24–48 hours). Select canvas that transfer is to be adhered to.
Step 10 Coat the side of the transfer that is to be affixed to the canvas with gloss gel. Quickly position the transfer onto the support (i.e. canvas) and press.
Step 11 Cut or tear pictures and arrange them on canvases and look for similar colors and textures that relate to one another. Use the images as a starting point for over painting. Gel medium is the proper choice for gluing down your images as acrylic is a very strong adhesive.
Finishing Touches
Step 12 Let yourself be creative and feel free to embellish your images with iridescent medium to add sparkle, brilliance and shine. Iridescent medium can be mixed with color or applied directly on top of transfers and collages. Note: Iridescent effect is best achieved when mixed with transparent colors.
Artist's Loft® Acrylic Paint – Primary Blue, Primary Red, Primary Yellow, Phthalo Green, Mars Black and Titanium White
Artist's Loft™ Gel Mediums – Gloss and Iridescent
Artist's Loft™ Deco Canvas, 4"x4" (9-pk.)
Artist's Loft™ White Synthetic Brushes – 8 Bright and 6 Round
Artist's Loft™ Palette – 7" Round and Plastic
Photographs and/or Magazine Cutouts of Flower Related Imagery for Collage
Photocopies of Flower Related Imagery for Acrylic Transfers
Masking tape
Non-stick Surface (i.e. Glass Palette)
Container of Lukewarm Water
Paper (or Cloth Towel)
Wax Paper
All nine canvases can include variations of both the transfer and collage techniques or you may decide to simply paint some of them using the included gel and iridescent mediums.Craft Time: 60+ minutes
Weight (or Something Heavy to Flatten Acrylic Transfer While Drying)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — As expected, Rockies manager Walt Weiss announced Monday that right-hander Jhoulys Chacin will be the starter on opening day when the Rockies play at the Milwaukee Brewers, scheduled for Monday, April 1.
Veteran lefty Jeff Francis has been tabbed to start the home opener against the San Diego Padres on Friday, April 5 at Coors Field.
Chacin, 25, went 3-5 with a 4.43 ERA in 14 starts in 2012. He battled back from a nerve injury in his chest in August and pitched well, going 3-2 with a 2.84 ERA in his last nine starts.
"He's ready to do it," Weiss said Monday evening before the Rockies' Cactus League game against the Reds. "I told Jhoulys that it's a great compliment, fighting back from injury to become an opening-day starter. It's something to be very proud of."
Weiss said Chacin was "very businesslike" when told the news.
"I haven't been around Jhoulys much until this spring, but he comes across as somebody very mature for his age," Weiss said. "I think he's ready to take on that role."
Weiss said experience and maturity made Francis, 32, a natural choice to pitch the home opener. In 2007, Francis won 17 regular-season games, two playoff games and started Game 1 of the World Series.
"For me, Jeff's a steadying force on our staff," Weiss said. "He's tailor-made for that opening-day atmosphere. He is not going to get caught up in the all the distractions that come with that. He's got the ability to go out in that environment, keep his focus and do what he does."
After his Cactus League start against the Giants on Sunday, Chacin said, "It would be an honor to pitch on opening day, but I don't really care about that. What really matters is just trying to win games, so it doesn't matter who pitches the first game."
Chacin has had an up-and-down spring, posting a 7.00 ERA. But he says he's committed to the Rockies' strategy that calls for pitchers to induce groundball outs. To that end, he's been working a lot on his changeup and concentrating on throwing fastballs low in the zone.
"I really learned to pitch more for contact, and that's what I'm trying to do — make my pitch and get quick outs so I can throw more innings," Chacin said after giving up four runs on nine hits in 4 ⅔ innings to the Giants on Sunday. "I was just trying to throw fastball and change, work more on my changeup so when I get to the season I can throw changeups for strikeouts or groundballs.

|Jim Henson
Jim Henson began working with puppets as a college student, creating the show Sam and Friends in 1955 for a local Washington, D.C. television station. The energetic Muppets soon became a popular fixture, and led to appearances on national variety shows. Henson's commercials for a local coffee company, Wilkins Coffee, were so popular that he was hired to create similar commercials around the country. In the early 1960s, Henson moved to New York City to work on a variety of projects, including a regular guest spot on The Jimmy Dean Show for the first Muppet star, Rowlf the Dog.
In 1969, Henson was invited to participate in a ground-breaking educational show for television, Sesame Street. Initially, the Muppets were meant to be just one element among many on the show -- but the popularity of Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Grover, Ernie and Bert soon made the Muppets the core of the show. Over the years, the Muppet cast has grown to include Mr. Snuffleupagus, Count von Count, Telly Monster, Rosita, Baby Bear, Zoe, and of course, the international superstar Elmo, who starred in his own segment, Elmo's World. Sesame Street is now in its 43rd season, and the newest stars are host Murray Monster and fairy-in-training Abby Cadabby.
In 1976, Henson created his signature project -- The Muppet Show, a weekly prime-time variety show filled with songs, sketches and talented guest stars. Kermit the Frog is the charming and mostly unflappable host, presiding over a motley crew of performers, including diva Miss Piggy, hopeful comedian Fozzie Bear, daredevil performance artist Gonzo, young eager gofer Scooter, and the house band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. The Muppet Show was a huge international success, making unlikely stars out of the Swedish Chef, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker, Sam the Eagle, and the two old cranks in the balcony, Statler and Waldorf.
The Muppet Show cast has continued to entertain audiences for over 30 years, spinning off into a popular series of movies, including The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppet Christmas Carol, and Muppet Treasure Island.
In the 1980s, Henson created new worlds -- the magical underground civilization of Fraggle Rock, the imagination-filled nursery of Muppet Babies, and the fantasy worlds of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Henson's work has continued to live on beyond his death in 1990, and new productions featuring his creations are always in progress.
This wiki is dedicated to documenting, exploring and enjoying the enormous body of work that Jim Henson has created and inspired.

Walking off Trinity High School's field last Friday night, North Oldham Lacrosse Coach Ryan Smith had plenty to smile about.
Though his team's season had just ended with a close 10-7 loss to Tates Creek in the state championship game, the fact that they were even there was a testament to the work put in thus far. After a trip back from a one-win season four years ago, they're not looking to go anywhere any time soon.

Members of Parliament yesterday unleashed a barrage of criticism on the 2011/12 Ministry of Transport budget, saying it had failed to address problems facing its sectors.
Contributing to the estimates amounting to 237,563,802,000/-, Buchosa MP Dr Charles Tizeba (CCM) said he did not support the budget because the transport ministry had not been given priority, although it faced structural problems and that its plans did not link with other sectors such as roads, tourism and power supply.
Tizeba said the government had invested a lot of money in road infrastructure compared to railway transport.
He said the cost of constructing one kilometre of a railway line was less than that of one kilometre of road.
"Most MPs have been talking about constructing good roads in their constituencies because it gives them political credibility, but if we look at it at the national level, the central railway line takes precedence over roads," he said.
He said roads should supplement railways and not vice versa.
On Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL), the MP said people were tired of statistics and what they wanted to see were operating airlines.
Opposition camp leader in parliament Freeman Mbowe said the budget for the transport ministry lacked national interest and that it should be returned to the government for changes so to fulfil expectations.
He cited Tanzania Railways Limited (TRL), ATCL, Dar es Salaam Transport (UDA), Kilimanjaro Airport Development Company which had been causing losses to the nation for failing to operate efficiently.
He asked MPs not to endorse the budget estimates for the benefit of the nation.
Mbowe, who is also Hai MP (Chadema), queried why the government didn't want to tell Tanzanians the truth about Kilimanjaro Airports Development Company (Kadco).
He said Kadco had entered into a contract with the government for 25 years which included privatising of Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) estate.
Mbowe said after the contract the investor was supposed to improve and develop the infrastructure at the airport, air services, including the runway. It obtained a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) which was guaranteed by the government of Tanzania.
He said todate the government was paying back the loans while it had not benefited from the contract and had paid the investor 9bn/- for terminating the contract.
Mbowe said the ATCL was dying but no one had been held accountable saying the government secrecy did not give hope as many public organisations were dying.
Special Seats MP Maria Hewa (CCM) said 237bn/- was not enough for the ministry to implement its plans.
"We are tired of the government's pledges. We want to see actions," Hewa said.
She said the central railway was crucial to the low income people and it had resulted in many problems because currently people could not even conduct small businesses they used to do in previous years.
"If we want transport to develop we are supposed to revamp the central line," Hewa said.
Special Seats MP Angela Kairuki said it would be difficult to achieve the expected results with such a limited budget.
She said there was a need to restore the central line and address the problems facing Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara).
Mafia MP Abdulkarim Shah (CCM) asked the government to work on the advice given by MPS to avoid complaints.
"The government should take disciplinary action against government executives who do not fulfil their responsibility," he said.
Tabling the recommendations of Parliamentary Committee for Infrastructure on the budget estimates for Transport Ministry, the chairman, Peter Serukamba, advised the government review the contract entered between UDA and Simon Group and direct the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) to conduct a special audit of the company.
Transport Shadow Minister Mhonga Ruhanywa when tabling her alternative budget said that there had been misappropriation of public funds in operating UDA.
She said the selling of government shares and changes of operating the company were aimed at using the company's property to benefit a few people.
She said the official opposition wanted detailed explanation from the minister on the contract and the steps taken against people involved and the value of UDA properties.
Transport Minister Omar Nundu asked parliament to endorse 237,563,802,000/- for the financial year 2011/12 out of it 69,585,672,000/- for recurrent expenditure and 167,978,130,000/- for development projects.
Development projects involve 95bn/- which would come from the government and 72,978,130,000/- from development partners.
When tabling his budget estimates, minister Nundu said that the government disbursed 37.25bn/- between 2008/09 and June this year to enable ATCL to continue offering services.
Out of the money 3.97bn/- was used to pay salaries and the remaining amount was spent in paying debts and pay 155 redundant workers and other activities of the company like maintenance of the airplane.
Mbozi East MP Godfrey Zambi accused Idd Simba and Prof Juma Kapuya of causing UDA to go bankrupt. Ukerewe MP Salvatory Machemli (Chadema) hit at Prof Kapuya saying he owned 10,000 UDA shares calling for the parliament to dissolve the mini-committee that involved Prof Kapuya as a member to probe the company.
Efforts to reach Prof Kapuya for comment did not bear fruit yesterday.
However, Simba has clarified that some 270m/- deposited in his private account was a private business transaction and had nothing to do with UDA's privatisation.

Winter Solstice of 2012 – The Beginning of a New Era
We met many different people while we were visiting Belize. Time and again the conversation would drift to the upcoming Maya 2012 celebrations. When we left, our one and only regret was that our trip did not coincide with the solstice festivities of the next year. Up until now, resources seemed to dictate this as an impossible dream.

Future changes in ultraviolet radiation in the Arctic
This is Section 5.7 of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
Lead Authors: Betsy Weatherhead, Aapo Tanskanen, Amy Stevermer; Contributing Authors: Signe Bech Andersen, Antti Arola, John Austin, Germar Bernhard, Howard Browman,Vitali Fioletov,Volker Grewe, Jay Herman, Weine Josefsson, Arve Kylling, Esko Kyrö, Anders Lindfors, Drew Shindell, Petteri Taalas, David Tarasick; Consulting Authors: Valery Dorokhov, Bjorn Johnsen, Jussi Kaurola, Rigel Kivi, Nikolay Krotkov, Kaisa Lakkala, Jacqueline Lenoble, David Sliney
While there are early signs that the Montreal Protocol and its amendments are working, a return to normal ozone levels is not likely to occur for several decades. Scientists primarily concerned with chemical contributions may be interested in the earlier signs of ozone recovery (for example, a reduction in the downward trend in ozone levels), while those studying UV radiation and its effects are likely to focus on an overall recovery from depleted values. Delayed recovery of total column ozone in the polar regions implies the possibility of increased UV irradiance at northern latitudes for another one to five decades. Although there are many uncertainties in the models, current projections indicate that ozone depletion over the Arctic is likely to continue for 50 years or more[1].
Because ozone depletion at polar latitudes is expected to persist, and possibly worsen, over the next few decades[2], UV radiation reaching the surface is likely to remain at levels greater than those observed in the past. Using ozone projections from the GISS chemistry–climate model, which projects the most severe, longest-lasting ozone depletion of any of the models,Taalas et al.[3] estimated that the worst-case spring erythemal UV radiation doses averaged over the period from 2010 to 2020 will increase by up to 90% relative to average 1970–1992 conditions. By comparison, the annual UV radiation dose increases for the entire Northern Hemisphere are estimated to be 14% for 2010 to 2020, and 2% for 2040 to 2050. Ultraviolet radiation projections depend on future ozone levels, which are highly uncertain. Future UV radiation levels will also be complicated by changes in snow and ice cover and albedo and are likely to vary locally as well as regionally. Reuder et al.[4] simulated ozone levels using various CFC emissions scenarios, as well as changes in future temperatures and dynamics and used these results to project UV radiation conditions over central Europe. Their results indicate a slight increase in spring UV radiation levels between the present and 2015, and the potential for continued above-normal late winter and spring UV radiation levels through approximately 2050, although future climate-induced forcings of arctic ozone recovery still need to be better explored.
Continued increased UV levels are likely to have profound effects on human health. Slaper et al.[5] estimated that reaching minimum ozone levels around the year 2000 (based on the Copenhagen Amendments to the Montreal Protocol) would be likely to result in a 10% increase in skin cancer 60 years later. While these results were based on analyses at mid-latitudes, they illustrate the long-range effects of increased UV radiation levels on human health. These human health effects are discussed in more detail in section Section 15.3.3. While humans can choose clothing, sunglasses or goggles, and other protection to reduce their exposure to UV radiation, plants and animals in the Arctic must adapt to their environment through slower, biological means or by migrating or seeking shelter to reduce their exposure. Section 7.3.2 describes plant and animal adaptations to UV radiation exposure in greater detail. These adaptations include thick leaves and protective pigments in plants and reflective white feathers and fur in arctic animals. Sections 8.6 and 9.4 also address potential adaptations and protections for organisms experiencing increased UV radiation exposure. If UV radiation levels in the Arctic remain high into the 21st century, the relative incidence and time frame of effects on human health and on plants and animals would also be extended.
Ozone levels and future changes in these levels are not the only factors affecting anticipated UV irradiance in the Arctic; aerosol concentrations and cloud cover also play a role (see section 5.4). These factors are likely to change, at least on a regional basis, in the future. A more active hydrological cycle in the Arctic, projected to occur as a result of climate change[6], is likely to result in changes in cloud cover. In general, increases in cloud cover will reduce UV irradiance at the surface, except in certain conditions when multiple reflections between clouds and a snow-covered surface may enhance the UV radiation dose. Current model projections suggest that cloud cover over the Arctic is likely to increase in some areas and decrease in others. Uncertainties in projections of future aerosol or cloud changes and in the understanding of aerosol–cloud–UV radiation interactions complicate projections of future surface UV irradiance.
Sea ice and snow cover are also likely to be affected by climate change, and can have major effects on incident UV radiation, both by reflecting radiation and by protecting organisms buried beneath it. Almost all climate models project increases in precipitation in the Arctic[7]. Model projections indicate that overall temperatures in the Arctic are likely to be warmer, suggesting that for late spring through early autumn, much of the precipitation increase is likely to be in the form of rain, or of rain falling on existing snow cover, possibly enhancing the rate of snowmelt. The extent and duration of snow cover in the Arctic is important in part because of its relation to UV radiation doses. In the polar regions, UV radiation doses affecting biological organisms depend greatly on the local surface albedo. Reflection off snow, for example, can increase the amount of UV radiation reaching an organism's face, eyes, or other surface. These amplified doses can be particularly pronounced at low solar elevations, or in the presence of increased multiple scattering by non-absorbing aerosols. Any shift in the extent or duration of snow cover, particularly during the critical spring months, is likely to amplify the biologically effective UV radiation doses received by ecosystems potentially already stressed by climate change. In areas normally covered by snow, early spring snowmelt, such as has been observed by Stone et al.[8], is very likely to leave organisms at ground level vulnerable to increased UV irradiance during periods of spring ozone depletion.
UV radiation exposure can have a range of effects on humans and on the overall arctic environment. Human health concerns include skin cancers, corneal damage, cataracts, immune suppression, and aging of the skin. Ultraviolet radiation can also have deleterious effects on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and is known to affect infrastructure through damage to plastics, wood, and other materials. Many of these effects require increased study.The combination of future climate change and the likelihood of prolonged increases in arctic UV radiation levels present a potentially challenging situation for the people and environment of the Arctic. These effects and some of their expected consequences are discussed in greater detail in sections 7.3, 7.4, 8.6, 9.4, 14.12, 15.3.3, 16.3.1, and 184.108.40.206.

The African Development Bank (AfDB), has begun constructing East African roads with the 120-kilometer Namanga-Arusha-Moshi-Holili road in Rombo District, Kilimanjaro Region.
The project is aimed at simplifying communication with other countries as well as boosting their economic growth.
This was said yesterday by AfDB representative Laurence
Shigundu at the road stakeholders' meeting in Kilimanjaro Region where he also pointed out that the project will be administered by the governments of Tanzania and Kenya in order to achieve the required standards.
Shigundu said that road is essential for the economy and cooperation of East Africans, adding that the completion of construction will bring development among the countries.
Moreover, Shigundu said the completion of the road will significantly help reduce traffic congestion and accidents besides improving the growing markets regional.
Speaking at the event, Moshi District Commissioner Moses Samizi said the government will give all the cooperation required to make the project successful.
He said in areas where people deserve to be compensated, they will be paid according to the law.
Meanwhile, Tanzania National Road Agency (Tanroads) manager Engineer Rubirya Marwa urged the residents of the areas where the projects are going to be implemented to abide by the law including refraining from putting up any structure on the road reserve since the practice blocks implementation of national and international projects.
Rubirya said the road project is very important for the development of the citizens of the two countries.
