Jin shook his throat slightly settling into the spot he held on Aya's couch in her palatial house, he still wasn't quite sure what he was doing here but he was quite nervous about the whole thing. She'd asked him over for dinner but the whole affair felt really strange.
He cleared his throat and looked at the cherry mahogany coffee table that was in front of him. This table was the only thing separating him from ex-diplomat Ueto and his sons as they amicably discussed China's relationship with Japan. A topic though he knew quite a bit about, was obviously not invited to speak to. He was a mere business student, and the Ueto family was political royalty. A smile wormed its way onto his face as he remembered Aya. Well...save for their rebellious unwilling political princess.
"You have to understand father…the Chinese went through a huge century of shame and humiliation after the Japanese occupation �" the fact we're even here, living in their country as revered citizens is because you have tried to improve that relationship. Diplomat Goro will definitely be asking too much of them if you ask them to become our manufacturers. You'll put them in a 'lower' position, yet again."
"Kame! You know that is not Goro-san's intention by asking to utilize the factory workers here." Ueto-san looked stricken at the prospect of his son's thought and for a second, Jin pitied him. Representing the country while living in a totally different nation must have been tough for him. He wondered if Ueto-san was ever able to feel at home in either country. Much like Jin himself, Jin could not see Japan or China as his home, he felt perpetually lost. "There has to some way we can convince the government to allow us to develop more facilities, we need them or Japanese production and exports won't be able to fulfill the U.S. demand any longer." Then shockingly he saw the older man, who had become the subject of much of Jin's admiration as of late, turn to look at him and Jin gulped. Though the words hadn't left Ueto-san's mouth, Jin knew exactly what the man was going to say to him. "Jin…what do you think? How would you position our proposition to increase Japan's manufacturing facilities in China without trying to make it seem as if we're using this opportunity to reduce the skill level of the workers here?"
He blinked dazed for a second, what the hell could he say? Other than the obviously strained relationship between China and Japan he didn't know much. He was just about to say that when he saw Kame and Junno laugh to each other, the gesture obviously hidden from Ueto-san's view.
He knew that this shouldn't affect him. It was obvious he didn't know much about politics...but the idea of the two brothers giggling at his expense made the tongue in his mouth taste bitter. Here was Ueto-san asking for his opinion and he was scared to give it just because of his inexperience?
No, he wouldn't fall into such a trap again. "I think it would be best if positioned the proposal, as a means to which China can gain more international clout, something that helps build the nation and its people's skills. Take a long-term perspective, with the short-term price." When they didn't respond Jin felt the need to continue. "China's number one goal since the world war and colonization efforts has been to stand independent of the G7 nations. To the Chinese, Japan is another G7 nation trying to capitalize on China's resources. Rather than positioning it in a way which threatens China's own well-being we need to consider what this country, and what these people want. Not just our nation. They want to see themselves succeed on a global platform, as a force to be reckoned with. Japan needs to help them, not hinder them."
When he finished he saw Ueto-san smiling kindly, and Kame and Junno struck silent. As if they hadn't quite expected such a knowledgeable answer from him. "You're highly optimistic about the way the Chinese will perceive Japan's request."
"No…I'm highly optimistic about the way we'll present it to them. We are the ones who decide how they will treat us based on how we treat them sir." Jin insisted. Growing up in China he had really learned what it meant to be a Japanese child in China. Many Chinese families lost precious family and honor in the Japanese occupation. The children grew up teasing him and bullying him, simply as a way to get revenge on the country that had ruined their families.
For a long time, Jin had thought it was his fault…but then he realized that he hadn't given them a reason to believe he was different from his forefathers. It was only once he actively tried to bridge that gap was he able to make friends.
"What are you lot blabbering on about now?" Aya strolled in and, without a care for the obviously single armchair beside her father, came and plopped herself down right on the other side of Jin's loveseat. She set down the bowl of dried nuts and chips she'd brought along, all mixed up together as Junno crinkled his nose at the sight.
"Yah Aya! You mixed them up again! You're supposed to keep them separate!"
Aya shrugged as she reached into the bowl picking up two cashews, a chip and an almond. "What's the point they're both salty anyways."
Sticking his tongue out Junno, Aya's younger brother, followed. "You're never going to get married. What a useless wife you'd make."
Kame simply smiled and looked directly at Jin who was already in the bowl grabbing the munchies, happily throwing an almond back in his mouth. "I wouldn't bet on that Junno."
No Kame was sure now, that even though Jin himself probably didn't know what was happening to him. The Ueto family would probably claim him as theirs. After all, he'd never seen Aya so desperately want to touch someone. Every three minutes or so she would lightly touch Jin's shoulder or smile at him and laugh.
She was more smitten with this man beside her than he'd ever seen his little sister with anyone.
Kame looked to his father for just a second for his reaction. A pensive smile on his face Kame realized that his father wasn't blind at all to the antics of the two children pretending to be adults in front of them. The only reason he wasn't stopping them from sitting next to each other and conversing amongst themselves was because he approved of Jin.
Kame looked at Jin again as the oblivious man laughed and covered his mouth to make sure a stray potato chip piece didn't find its way spat across the room. "So Jin…what's your poison?" Kame asked one corner of his mouth up-turned into a smirk.
Jin turned to look at him eyes widening. "I don't really drink tha-" but with one look from the Ueto patriarch he decided to take back his words. "Whiskey, please."
Kame wondered if he'd chosen that on purpose, or if he could even know that his father's favourite drink was Whiskey.
Aya chuckled behind her hand as she raised her hand squealing. "Me too please!"
"For once in your life act like a lady!" Kame chastised but poured her a drink anyways and brought back five whiskeys.
This would surely be an interesting night, getting to know his future brother-in-law.
"Kanpai!" Ken'ichi yelled out as the entire cast and crew collectively threw back the small portion of sake poured into cheap plastic cup. Well, all except for Erika…because Erika didn't drink like the rest of the women on set did.
Shota would have thought this would have made Erika feel left out but the girl only smiled brighter and chattered more excitedly than any of the drunken women.
Ken'ichi continued his speech. "We're almost done filming the movie and this group of actors has really been some of the best I've ever worked with. I'm glad we've worked together again Erika," He raised his hand to his lead actress smiling brightly. "You, my phoenix, have saved us, with your eternal beauty and never-ending talent…and Shota- who the hell knew you actually were good at acting?" Ken'ichi joked laughing to himself. Everyone on set nodded in agreement and Shota knew he was supposed to take it smiling and nodding so he did even if he would rather have punched his director's lights out. Ken'ichi had never been that wonderful at holding his liquor. "I'm only joking of course, thanks for your hard work Shota! Speaking of joking! Joe! You little surprise in a basket-" He turned his attention to the rest of the cast and Shota took that as an invitation to stop listening. After all, when Ken'ichi started he could talk quite literally for forever.
Instead Shota found his feet shuffling him towards his leading lady. As he came up to her he saw her turn to look at him and, in his imagination he was sure, smile wider. "Shota! This party was such a good idea wasn't it? It really helps us get the morale to do the last couple of scenes."
He just hoped that she didn't realize he had moved three steps closer to her since she'd started talking. Their shoulders were almost touching. He tried to mask it so she wouldn't realize and close up like a flower at sunset. "Are you happy you did this film now?" Over the past three months that they'd been filming together he had gotten to see Erika close to every day. The idea that this would no longer be a reality was starting to hit him but he still had not found any indication in Erika's behavior that showed she felt the same way about him. That she even cared having his presence in her life.
Then again…maybe he was asking a bit too much from a married woman and even if she did decide to give into his selfish demand for her love. In the end nothing could really come of them but a dalliance between the sheets that would probably ruin the very shaky friendship they'd formed. Nor if they got serious could he ever give her the things she deserved because his position, not to mention his wife, would not let him. He could never marry her, birth a legitimate child with her, or hold her for everyone to see.
So really you see, there was no point to his trying to force this relationship on the both of them. Yes, there was chemistry, and an undeniable urge in him right now…but if it was only him he could control himself he was sure because his urges weren't worth ruining Erika's life.
Yet even so he thought these things he couldn't help but feel his heart deflate at the sight of her laughing happily as she took in the sights of the entertainment world's glitzing lights and studio team. Smugly nodding, she gave him a friendly grin.
His own grin faltered. That was always the smile she gave him, the one that yelled what a 'good' friend he really was.
Sure Erika blushed and even mumbled a bit around him…but it was more that she was nervous about their situation not him as a man. He was a prince, she was a commoner and she reminded herself of it every day despite his attempts to normalize their friendship.
He was confused…had he even made any sense?
Drinking always muddled his thoughts.
"I really am happy about everything…this movie, you and everything you've done for me." She folded her arms under her chest, and he couldn't help but note the slight swell of her chest. He knew from his own experience with Maki, it was likely because she was still breastfeeding. He was more than healthily distracted when he heard her next word pass his ears. "Shota, you're my savior aren't you?"
The words were casual but Shota was floored. Had he heard correctly? He knew he shouldn't take it seriously because she had the most nonchalant expression on her face but- all he could think was that- "Ah Erika- could I steal you away for a second?" Ken'ichi smiled at the two of them grinning as he tossed back another cheap cup of liquor. Shota wasn't sure but wasn't this Ken'ichi's fourth cup in a little less than 20 minutes? "We can go to my office near the dressing rooms neh? We need to have a little chat."
Shota couldn't help but want to intervene and say no, that Ken'ichi couldn't have her but Erika nodded and followed Ken'ichi carefully out of the set room. While they walked away, his co-stars Shirota Yuu and Odagiri Joe grabbed him and made sure his own throat was no longer dry.
A cold settled over his heart as he contemplated what on earth Ken'ichi could have to discuss with Erika.
Somehow his mind wouldn't give him peace from imagining the worst of scenarios.
For her savior, he couldn't help but think he was doing a horrible job.
For the rest of the night, Jin found himself laughing with the Ueto family as they drank and ate the food the chef prepared for them, politics left aside because Aya, they all knew now, detested it with a fierce passion.
Finally at midnight they re-entered the salon from the dining room. Aya ran towards the loveseat and sat down. She looked very sleepy but seemed to be waiting for something. The rest of them took their seats, still listening to Kame tell an embarrassing story about Junno and Aya stealing each other's water bottles like foolish little kids.
Jin was smiling ear-to-ear barely aware of what was happening until he realized that Aya had fallen into his lap, her head nestled comfortably on his thighs as she smiled and sure enough…seemed to have gone 'asleep'.
Junno laughed at Jin's stricken expression. "It's okay she does that a lot- I can move her for you if you'd like."
"Ah no- I mean its okay she's already sleeping I don't want to wake her up." Jin took off his suit jacket as slowly and carefully as possible as he draped her with it. It was colder now that it was night time and he didn't want her getting sick but she really shouldn't have drank this much. He was going to talk to her tomorrow morning…he couldn't believe she was like this even around her father!
"Father," Jin's eyes flickered upwards to see Kame smiling at him though he'd obviously been addressing his dad. "What do you think of the idea of Jin taking over the summer internship that Aya dropped at the diplomat's office?" Then as if realizing he needed Jin's consent for this, he looked to him. "As long as that's something you'd be interested in Jin." Jin looked between the three men that he'd come to really enjoy the company of this evening. Though he was obviously a stranger, he felt like he had known them for years.
Ueto Shuichi turned to look at him with the full force of his critical gaze now. Jin could tell because now he was being measured up as a potential candidate and he couldn't help but gulp nervously as the icon's voice asked, "Would that be something you're interested in Jin?"
He'd just been offered an internship at the Japanese diplomat's office for the gods' sakes. He would be a fool to say no, especially since he was getting so obvious an 'in' into a world he'd thought would be out of reach for someone who wasn't even involved in International Studies. "Yes." He grinned, ready to get up to shake Aya's father's hand.
Ueto Shuichi shook his head smiling as he came over to him, making it apparent he didn't want to wake his daughter up either. "Then you have it."
"Welcome aboard what Aya likes to call 'train to boredom'." Junno laughed but Jin couldn't help but smile wider.
He had a feeling- things were really going to go well here.
Because Ueto Aya and her family felt like his saviors.
Erika stepped into Ken'ichi's office watching him turn on the lamp and sit back against the wooden material of his desk. "Do you know what you've done Erika to be here?"
Indeed it felt like she had done something horrible at school and right now Ken'ichi was sitting her down to punish her, but she shook her head because the truth was she had no idea what she had done. "Have I done something wrong?"
"Rika…" He laughed lightly rubbing his lips and Erika felt the blood in her veins freeze. "Can I tell you something?"
She didn't know what to say.
Ken'ichi had not called her Rika in years, too many years. The last time he had called her Rika, she had lost something that the world had labeled precious to her even if she had never really considered it so. His voice had been just as it was now, low warm and velvety, coated with the blanket of sake. "Ken'ichi-" She started but just as soon as she spoke, he moved forward again to cover her mouth with his hand.
"I know I asked…but I'm going to tell you no matter what your answer is. So what you say now really doesn't matter." He looked at her so seriously a spike of fear grew in her heart looking at him. This wasn't the confident, rowdy and directorial Ken'ichi she had always known all her life. This Ken'ichi looked like she had taken his heart and stomped on it. When it was quite the contrary. "Do you remember that day? That day Takuya dragged you off our set? You were going to be a star and he dragged you away."
He didn't need to remind her of that. He really didn't need to remind her of that. "I remember." Her words were muffled in his palm. It was all too clear the memory of her tears, the way her mother had screamed at her, begged her to answer why she hadn't thought before her actions.
"I told him that day. I told him what you meant to me."
"I know you did." She sighed softly into his hand and watched his eyes shut. He looked pleased at the sensation of her breath against his hands and she felt her stomach twist inside of her unsure of where they were going…but then wasn't this sort of conversation inevitable between them? All past lovers when faced with each other must feel this urge to- discover something about the other party years later. "Three months later I was married to Jin."
Ken'ichi laughed. The prospect of her marriage must have been laughable to him but to see him laugh at the years of her life that she had devoted to Jin made her head hurt and her heart pain. Her love for her husband was no joking matter but she supposed to him it must have been a bitter irony.
"He asked me to marry you. Your father did. I couldn't." He laughed again but now all Erika could feel was a distorted form of confusion and sadness. Her mind pitied her younger self who had for weeks on end screamed and thrashed against her father to fight for a chance to come back to this man. This man who had never seemed to want her past her 'expiration' date. He lifted his hand off her mouth and looked straight at her. "You hate me don't you?"
"No." She cleared her throat looking at him straight in the eyes. "I could never hate you Ken'ichi." His befuddlement encouraged her to continue speaking. "Without you I would have never met my husband…and he's the one I truly belong with."
This time Ken'ichi looked at her silently as if somehow her words had completely betrayed him. His face was a painting of anger, pain, hurt and misunderstanding. "Erika-"
"Ken'ichi-" She interrupted intent on ending the conversation because this was going nowhere.
"NO! I'll speak first!" He boomed out loud and stood apart from her. "I wanted to tell you how much I hated that decision. How much I hated myself for being no better than your father! I ripped us apart just as much as he did!"
Anger fueled her own yells against him as she screamed now. "I'm glad it happened!" He seemed furious with her reply, un-expecting of the way she was so unaffected by his confession. Now Erika could only grow irritated…what the hell did Ken'ichi want from her anyways? Did he want her throw herself into his arms and bid good bye to her life now just because he had told her he admitted that he hated that he hadn't fought for her?
"You don't mean that."
"Of course I do. I never really loved you. I know that now and I guess it's time for you to know that too." She huffed and turned around making a move to leave but felt Ken'ichi grab her hand and pull her back as he scoffed into her ear. His breath too warm on her neck.
"Are you serious?"
"You were an infatuation Ken'ichi, a crush that went too far." She tried to wrestle her hand free from his grasp but he refused to give.
"ERIKA!" She turned around to see Shota stumble through the door panting heavily as he placed a hand on his forehead, shutting his eyes.
Seeing Shota, she felt Ken'ichi drop her hand and slowly trying not to make it obvious that they'd been fighting she walked towards Shota. "Are you ready to go home?" She asked softly and saw Shota nod rubbing his head still.
"I drank-"
"It's okay." She said. It normally wouldn't have been but she needed to get away from Ken'ichi. As far away from him as possible and she would take any way to get there right now. Even a drunk Shota. She turned to look at Ken'ichi and bowed. "Thank you for everything today. It has been a pleasure working on this movie with you. I'm excited to finish this movie. You're a great director Ken'ichi." It was all she could really say to him…and yet she'd known though she was trying to be kind her words had hurt the most.
Her ex-boyfriend's tearful expression injured her heart but she couldn't bring herself to care much right now. How dare he simply yell things at her and what on earth did he expect her to do with this information anyways?
Shota held onto her hand simply nodding towards Ken'ichi as he pulled them out of the room. She looked up at his moving back as he entrenched their fingers together. His skin was burning hot and she couldn't help but feel worried for him as he took them towards the car. She saw him come over and open the door for her before running back to the other side of the car. "Shota- are you okay?" She questioned softly as he sat down beside her. He made a move to start the car but she placed a hand on his and blinked shaking her head. "We can stay here parked for some time if you'd like."
Shota turned to look at her and whimpered softly in his seat. He must have drank a lot after she and Ken'ichi disappeared. He was pale and shaking. They had been in that room for almost an hour. "It was Yuu and Joe…they made me drink and I couldn't think and I knew Ken'ichi wouldn't do anything but-"
"Shota you're not making any sense." Her tone patient she lightly caressed his shaking arm. He shook her off and sighed, leaning his head against the cool metal of the steering wheel.
"Forget about it Erika…you'd never understand." He looked so forlorn but how was she supposed to help him feel better if he wouldn't tell her what he was feeling right now?
"Shota…are you really going to say that to me?" She felt her eyebrows furrow as she took in the sight of her prince in such an un-royal state. "I've been through hell and back trying to reclaim myself and my pride and I really don't think I ever will so really are you saying that to me?" He looked at her fearfully as she felt her voice let out some of the anger she'd felt towards Ken'ichi. "How could I of all people not understand whatever it is you're going through right now?!"
"You really want to know?" He reached for her hands in his drunken stupor and she let him. He couldn't do much harm to her in this state, nor would he remember likely, and so why should she not let the man who gave her butterflies hold her hand?
She nodded.
"I thought Ken'ichi would-" He gulped and then shook his head as if trying to stop himself from saying it but then his grip on her hands tightened, stealing courage from her. "I thought he'd try something with you. Something you wouldn't want."
She felt her eyes widen and struggled to keep down the ball forming in her throat. When he looked at her and saw the pity in her eyes for him, he only felt the pain his heart stab through his flesh harder. "Shota…"
"No, see you don't get it Erika-you just simply don't get it and how could you?"
"Shota I understand you're protective over me as a sis-"
"ERIKA NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT." He yelled trying to stop her from speaking, from interrupting him when he so clearly needed to get something off his chest. From saying that she was something to him that she most certainly was not. She felt her fingers reflexively reach for his as he tried to shift away from her. "Erika…I- I didn't want anyone else-"He gulped and shook his head again trying to clear the daze he felt from the alcohol over his head. It was like a cloud covering his judgment. "When this is over we won't see each other again will we? And then the idea that another man would try and touch you-" She felt his fingers rub against the inside of her palm, willing her to not leave his hand now.
But she did.
She had to. How could Erika ever let Shota hold onto her when he had all but admitted that he -
No. She couldn't allow it. She would be besmirching the name of the royal family by letting him feel these things towards her. She tried to turn away from the vulnerable prince but Shota didn't stop, his fingers twisted their path up her body to her chin and pulled her eyes back to his. "Shota no-" She muttered softly and he shook his head. "Let go of me please." She begged softly hoping he would release her because if anyone saw them, anyone at all, she would never be able to recover from this and neither would he.
"Tell me you don't feel a thing. Nothing at all, that I'm just a friend." She opened her mouth to tell him just that when she felt a gust of air on her lips that kept the words from coming out. Like a block his breath on her locked her words in her mouth.
"Shota- you shouldn't-"
"Damn the shoulds and shouldn'ts." He cursed and let go of her chin as she shoved her face in her palms trying to quell the heat that had surged on her face. Her heart was pumping away in her chest at a million miles an hour. Had- had she encouraged this somehow? "Just tell me, so I can force myself to stop. Break my heart. Just stop this so I don't think about it anymore."
"Don't you dare yell at me you selfish man!" She yelled back and heard him laugh the same way that Ken'ichi did. "No don't you laugh either because you have no idea what I've been through."
"Don't I? Haven't I been standing beside you while it happens? Watching you try to look so brave, so strong and I'm just waiting for you to let go so I can catch you."
"Don't flatter yourself. I'd rather fall on the ground." She narrowed her eyes. It was hard to be patient with him when he was being this infuriating.
He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her towards him. His head fell in the crevice where her neck met her shoulders. "You still haven't said it," His lips kissed the tightly pulled skin over her veins and she sighed breathily despite herself. His lips were hot and trailed the smallest bit of saliva down the side of her neck. "So fine," He raised his head and looked up at her ready to close the gap between them. "Tell me you don't like it when my lips cover yours…even if we aren't who we say we are when we kiss. Tell me my touch disgusts you. I'll back off. That will work too if you're not willing to be the bitch here."
"Shota-" She whimpered softly, trying to calm the heat that was unwillingly rising from her core through the rest of her body. If he kept pushing her like this, she really wasn't sure what she would do. Or more importantly, what she would let him do to her. "You aren't thinking right now."
"Then why does it feel like I'm thinking more clearly than I have in years?" He let his fingers run past her lips and Erika knew she should have backed away from him but the mere sensation of his fingers on her flesh was making her weak in the knees. "Let me kiss you Erika. Just once. As me."
"No." She fought back softly shutting her eyes and heard him growl as he came closer to her.
"I'm going to do it without your permission." That made her eyes fly open as she scowled and cursed herself for looking so weak in front of him.
"ERIKA-" He hollered and she pushed him off her just as she felt the slightest brush of his lips against hers. Electric this time, more electric than any kiss she had ever had in her life with any other man. She had felt like a super charged battery had been placed in her body that reacted to his force.
"No, Shota." She raised her left hand and pointed to her ring finger forcing him to look down at his own and she saw the fog that had covered his eyes lift as he remembered Maki. "I'm still married." So are you, she thought quietly as she looked at him her entire body shaking from the surreal experience.
"You're right…and you still love him don't you?" She nodded. She could never stop loving Jin. "You'll wait for him until he comes back won't you?" She nodded again. "And what happens to me then?"
"I don't know Shota…it's none of my business." She risked a look towards him and saw him look at her with mercy filling his face.
"It won't be the same." His words caressed the side of her face and she felt her spine twist her into an upright pose. "It'll never be the same your relationship you know that right?"
"Because he left?" She shot back…she would have never thought Shota would be the type of guy to capitalize on a man's weaknesses.
She was right because he wouldn't.
His next words shocked her…mostly because in some part they were true. "No Erika it has nothing to do with him. Things would never be the same for you two because I came."

With the economy still slow, and the emphasis moving towards easy payment options, there has been a sharp rise in 0% interest free sales within the fitness industry.
Orbus Leisure have shown a lead and as a result have seen significant growth in this areas, as it has developed 'smart' offers which allow its buyers to source higher quality, traditionally higher spend items, in a cost effect, spread-payment way.
This has been particularly well received by Treadmill and higher end Cross Trainer buyers, who can equate the low monthly payments to a standard gym membership scheme. The difference being that after 12 months they own a significant piece of equipment outright!
It also makes it so much easier to justify a trade up to a more expensive model, without the need for and associated worry of a singular high value payment being required.
These offers are not confined to these two pieces of fitness equipment exclusively, with other great deals showing in the Vibration plate, Rowing machine and Exercise Bike categories also.

Do You Know This Man?
Would you be surprised to know that 42 percent of those surveyed under the age of 40 couldn't identify a 1976 photo of Olympic decathlon champ (and reality show star) Bruce Jenner?
That's right -- before "The Kardashians," the opulent Hollywood lifestyle, numerous plastic surgeries and a TV/movie career whose high point was replacing Erik Estrada on CHiPs, Bruce Jenner was an Olympic gold medal winner!
After placing 10th in the decathlon at the Munich Games in 1972, Jenner was the favorite heading to Montreal in '76. He didn't disappoint, winning the gold and setting Olympic and world records in the process. All that long before Kris, Kim, et al. came along, and just about 36 years ago to the day!

Casa Dois Irmáos literally means home of 2 siblings. This is me in front of the iconic Dois Irmáos, the two peaks
seen in many a surf side, arms held high, "I'm on Ipanema Beach" photo. The name made sense for us and we began a new chapter after life had thrown us each a few knocks.
Kris had been putting money aside his whole life in order to buy a home one day and taking a chance with real estate he bought this rundown place in an undesirable, under-served, dangerous part of the city - with a breathtaking view - the old Portuguese bohemian neighbourhood of Santa Teresa.
An inventor since birth he began pulling down walls and dreaming of elevators and waterslides and fish tank walls…unfortunately the size of the bank account isn't quite the size of the dreams. So we find creative ways to develop the space into a comfortable, practical, whimsical perhaps, style which I will call 'santa chique'
Times have changed and we now find that same dilapidated neighbourhood in a magical & very desirable part of the city. The house and the neighborhood have been reformed and are now filled with life and love and visitors.
We watch the sun rise each morning beside the Sugarloaf Mountain, warming up the cityscape and by the afternoon shadows descend and fresh mountain winds liberate us from the urban heat.
Cyclists pass daily heading either to Christ the Redeemer statue or into Tijuca National Park. At night the city pulses with music and lights and the moon glitters off the ocean.
We are happy to answer questions and help you plan your time in this amazing city.

Despite the recent snowstorm (in like a lion, right?), my fashion focus is on Spring, and the bright hue of these trousers injects the right touch of Springtime. Surprisingly, these blue pants are as versatile as they are audacious. In the spring, I will layer them with a chambray, scarf, and camel booties, and in the summer, I will opt for an easy tank and leather sandals. And did I mention they are ridiculously comfortable (much like this other favorite pair). How have you been adding a little much-needed Spring to your winter wardrobe?
DKNY trousers (love these), Isaac Mizrahi for Target sweater (similar), Aqua coat, Steve Madden booties c/o (last seen here), Kate Spade bag, Necklace via Saks Off-Fifth (similar here or here), vintage scarf, BCBG skull ring (similar), Michael Kors watch, vintage bracelets and rings

4 Movie & TV Show Tech Pet Peeves That Drive Us Crazy
Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. See that reflection in the victim's eye of a shadow in a mirror? We've got our killer! Below, we share with you our least favorite movie and TV tech travesties and would love to hear yours.
Enhance This has got to be one of the biggest pet peeves of any TV or movie watching experience where the lab techie sees a potential suspect or detail on a crappy security camera and the lead investigator orders, "enhance" several times until they get close enough and the image suddenly sharpens and the murdered is revealed! While it's true you can get some decent results in enhancement, the best results come from good video sources, and low resolution security cameras most definitely do not provide high quality pictures. CSI is notorious for their almost offensive uses of zoom. We single out CSI: Miami because Horatio Caine meme's are awesome and readily available.
Rotation: When the baddies in Enemy of the State rotate around Will Smith's shopping bag back in 1998 we laughed incredulously at the high tech capabilities. Then the NFL showed up with their EyeVision technology and we said "woah, they can actually do that!" But in reality the NFL system requires 30 cameras with specific set spacing and sophisticated algorithms all working together to give us the ability to rotate a still frame from a video. It's unlikely the lingerie shop had the right equipment to do it but the technology exists and is getting better every day.
Access to every security camera footage: TV and the movies would have us believe that every single security camera in the world is connected to some super network and accessible by law enforcement agencies (and bad guys) anywhere, anytime. London, however, might be a different story - yikes! Deja Vu even managed to twist time while accessing high definition footage from anywhere at all.
Ability to connect to any computer or network: Whether it's over the internet with a great graphic interface built in for those who happen to be trying to hack the system or by simply plugging an unspecified cable directly into a computer or network. Sure, there are back doors and ways to access secure computers and they are hacked all the time, but these developers sure as heck don't program fancy interfaces for you, and chances of there being specific routines and interfaces for your nefarious plans such as shutting down elevators or changing every single traffic light in a planned sequence sounds unlikely. If there are, we'd love to hear otherwise. The Independence Day virus upload was the worst offender of them all.

I got this converter for another pen (the Falcon) but it didn't fit.
In fact, the only pen I have that can fit this converter was my work pen, the Kakuno. Perfect. I took it to work and the ink capacity lasts! I don't have to worry about my pen running out of ink in the middle of a meeting. And filling it is a breeze. Just a few pumps dipped in the inkwell and I have myself a juicy pen. Even if the pen dries up and stops writing, I don't have to do anything more than just give the converter a few gentle half pumps and it's good to go. This thing… I should have gotten it long ago. It's turned a fountain pen from a play thing and kind of inconvenient to a real everyday work pen.
For the longest time, I was refilling a cartridge with a syringe at work. This started to get tedious when it was happening every few weeks. I had to keep a backup ballpoint, which defeats the purpose of a fountain pen. Suddenly I found myself shopping for a pen with super ink capacity. But any pen over $20 was not going to work with me. This accidental converter saved the day.The only drawback if I have to think of one is you don't get to swap colors as often. But I've found that for work, I'm not going to use too many cartoon colors. So I end up with the same general range of colors anyways – anything that looks black or blue. Right now, it's Diamine Evergreen. It looks black on a fine nib.

It's finally happened.
The Little Prince has decided he doesn't like school.
Oh, he has a crush on his teacher, and he has a best friend and a couple other friends he wouldn't mind seeing every weekday. He likes the adults there. It's the other kids he's frustrated with, especially the ones who misbehave frequently. The Prince's orderly little soul writhes within him when classmates make Disappointing Behavioral Choices. I try to tell him that he's going to see disappointing behavioral choices around him all his life (and even commit a few himself) but it still gives rise to a tangle of complicated feelings for him. He wants people to feel good and cooperate, he prizes consensus, and disruptive kids are his personal grit to be covered with nacre, I guess.
Of course, whenever we talk about this, I end up thinking well, Lili, guess where he got THIS from? I'm good at dealing with disruptive people, but not because I like it. Quite the opposite, I just learned how to deal so I could be done with them in the shortest possible time. The Little Prince's frustration will no doubt bring him to other coping strategies, since mine don't seem to work for him. I wish I could model something that would ease his irritation, but I'm all out of ideas.
It's kind of sad–he used to love going to school, for his teachers and the sheer joy of finding stuff out. I don't blame the teachers–overworked and underpaid, expected to effectively "parent" large groups of kids at a time with little support and much Monday-morning quarterbacking from the actual parents, it's a wonder things aren't worse. These are highly dedicated people, and it makes me sad that they aren't paid well. Instead, we as a country waste our money on "defense" and corporate welfare. It's maddening. It also doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon.
Of course the Little Prince's sunny nature (which he emphatically did NOT get from me, we can all agree on THAT) predisposes him to think that sooner or later, even the most disruptive kids will calm down and get some work done.
Maybe he'll end up a teacher…

Can white sharks see in murky water?
SHARK EYESIGHT A shark's eyes are almost on completely different sides of its head, so the shark has a nearly 360-degree field of Vision. However, they have two major blind spots; right in front of the snout and right behind the head. Sharks' eyes are built just like ours A shark's eye is similar to the eye of other vertebrates, with many parts that we'd recognize: a lens, … Continue reading Can white sharks see in murky water?

Playing females
Frequently articles and writing on playing female characters are steeped in so much theory you can't take the writer seriously. They look like the writer has a thesis nicked whole from the most recent book on gernder, identity and representation and then applied to the nearest computergame featuring a female heroine - and this frequently turns out to be Lara Croft. Jane at GameGirl Advance writes about Genderplay from the strength of her rich gaming experience.

So excited and proud to show off the new look of Corina Nielsen Photography & Designs! It's a project I have been working on for at least 2 months now and figured today, my birthday, was the best date to unveil it. This has been a collaborative project between myself, my husband, and BOTH of my kids. Every time I expanded one part of my branding, each person in the family weighed in and gave their opinions… I think thats part of the reason why I feel so emotionally tied to my new look. Each and every detail was carefully considered and in the end, we all LOVE what WE came up with together! Because I could not do anything I do without the love & support of my family, I knew I couldn't come up with any of this without them!
When I first started to brainstorm ideas, colors, graphics, etc. for the new look, there were a couple of things I had to keep in mind. #1 I run TWO extremely busy businesses (photography and my graphic design/branding services). I knew I had to come up with colors and a style that would lend itself to both. #2 I am a TRUE believer in the "less is more" philosophy so I knew whatever look I went with it would be clean, tailored, and incorporate a lot of white space. The main reasoning behind this is I ALWAYS want my images, graphics, portfolio to grab clients attention FIRST in both businesses. Having an overly busy brand will only detour people away from what the focus should be… YOUR work! However, that being said, to stay true to myself, I knew I also needed COLOR! I'm a color fanatic…. the more the merrier in my opinion! So I decided on mainly white with lots of pops of color to run through the entire brand. This is what we came up with after about 15 drafts or so!
The last thing I knew 100% I needed to incorporate that would run through my entire brand was hearts. Ever since I was a little girl, you could always find me drawing hearts. I drew them EVERYWHERE I could, in every color there was. I know some will find the graphic a bit cliche & overly done, BUT the hearts really mean something to ME! I sign all my letters and cards with either a heart or XO, so having the heart present in my brand was a MUST. Didn't need my family to decide that one
Once the logo and overall look was done… now came the fun part! Packaging and all of the little details! This was seriously the BEST part of this whole process, dangerous, but definitely fun! For 2 weeks straight, FED EX, UPS, and USPS were dropping things off left and right! In the end, I am thrilled at how it has all turned out and very excited to show it off!
Can I just say every time I look at these little bundles, I can't help but smile? These are the packages that I now send out for my digital collections. Included are the files clients have ordered on a custom USB drive, client care cards, 5×7 thank you card with a handwritten note on the other side of whats shown, a little thank you goody bag from me, and I also include a little box of sweet treats!
Probably one of the items in my brand I am most proud of and I puffy *heart* the most… my new USB drives! These guys took the most thought for my husband and I. I had decided earlier this year that I no longer wanted to do the custom CD's & cases I had been doing since I started my photography business. I hated having to take the time to prepare the files for the lab and then having to wait for them to send them out. My husband had a pretty strong opinion that USB drives just made more sense for clients… so we went on the search for a custom one for me! After many many days, countless quotes from manufacturer's, back and forth emails with them about my customizations, this is what we ended up with!
Originally, I was fighting to have the "real" logo on them with all of my colors but most USB companies will either only do a 2 color process OR a 4 color process. I was bummed that it couldn't be done, but I love these all the same! It's convenient, adorable, and most importantly…. I feel like its REALLY unique. When I did searches for inspiration, I found a lot of photographers had pretty simple swivel thumb drives and although I was originally going to go with one of those, I got the idea for the heart and was lucky enough to find someone to do them! So happy with the final product!
Another item I was sure I needed to include was a little thank you package to each client. Nothing big, just a sweet gesture from me to them.
Included in the lithe canvas pouches are a set of wallets (I will most likely pick my favorite image from the session for these OR one I know they love), a magnet with my business information for them to hopefully place on their fridge, and then a keepsake keychain with another favorite client image. And again… to make sure my brand is incorporated, hearts were a must! Luckily, I found the exact colors of my look in card stock and I was able to use one of my many heart punches from my scrapbooking days to punch them out! The canvas pouch also has a hand stamp I made with a thank you banner on it.
Each box is closed and then sealed with my "address return" sticker…
Another custom stamp I made that I figured would come in handy, just to add a little special touch here and there where I may need it!
You can find the stamps I am selling in the store HERE!
As for clients who order print packages… these were also really fun to create! Just deciding on what color boxes was a big task though! I had seen a lot of photographers who used different colored boxes and while I REALLY loved them and how bright they were, I had already decided that I wanted to use different colored yarn to tie things up. It wouldn't have looked right on the colored boxes, so I went with clean, white boxes and then found the colors of yarn used in my branding. Again… I had to tie hearts in though! I had seen lots of packaging ideas using doilies, but I had to take it a step further and find something with hearts I was lucky to find this shape and in all of the colors I use in my branding! Last but not least, I have always been a fan of my MOO Mini cards so when I was designing my business pieces, I came up with about 10 different designs that I include on all of my packaging!
My print packages then get sent out in white padded mailers, topped off with a cute sticker!
And for clients who are lucky enough to get both a print & digital collection, this is what their packages look like!
Here is a little closer look at my stickers and MOO mini cards.
And last, but not least for today… because I LOVE these so much, I thought I would show them off as well! My custom stamps! I'm sure I will be adding to this collection, but to start myself off, I went with a couple of thank you stamps, the round one I use on my packages, and a return address to use on my envelopes and what not. Call me crazy, but I adore the old wooden handles on them! Some of the designs I use as well as other I have created can be found HERE!
Stay tuned…. next post I hope to share my studio space as well as my office space where I do all of my design work and store all my packaging goodies! Until then, I hope you enjoyed seeing me new look and are hopefully inspired for your own businesses!

Cool Tip: Rename Files and Directories that contain Uppercase Letters to Lowercase
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip
By Svetlin Petrov

Slashdot This
Posted: 8 Jul 2004
One of the requirements for moving an existing GroupWise system to Linux is "rename any files and directories that contain uppercase letters to all lower case" (taken from the GroupWise 6.5 Installaton Guide).
In the Linux world there are many possibilites for doing this - one of them is the usage of the chcase 1.2 perl script which can be downloaded from: (No current URL available)
Some of the instructions are:
- Download chcase: (No current URL available)
- Make it executable (eg: chmod 755 chcase)
- Move it to somewhere in your path (eg: mv chcase /usr/local/bin) or just copy it to the GroupWise directory (eg: /gwsystem)
- Run it (eg: ./chcase)
./chcase -e gives a nice output containing many examples.
So - if the GroupWise system is located in /gwsystem executing ./chcase -rd '*' from /gwsystem directory will convert all files and directories to lower case, starting from the current directory.

The OL Juggle
August 21 2002
By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise
THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included
The 49ers continued to juggle their offensive line this past Monday night. While Ben Lynch was at center for Jeremy Newberry, allowing Dave Fiore to move back to his guard spot, the 49ers also had rookie Eric Heitmann start the game for Ron Stone. It was the most significant play time for Heitmann this summer.
Heitmann did an adequate job in the starting position, but he certainly doesnt look ready to be a starting lineman in the NFL. Not yet anyway. One of the more promising offensive lineman in the draft Heitmann confirmed the 49ers suspicions that depth along the offensive line was tragically thin. His performance was by no means terrible, but was certainly lacking, especially in the run game.
More changes are expected for this Saturdays game against the Raiders. This time though, change should be for the better as starting center Jeremy Newberry is set to return from his calf injury. The 49ers are hopeful that Ron Stone will be back too, but at this point no decision has been made on his status.
When the offensive line does get re-assembled it should bring some good times for the 49ers. The left side if the line is a little light, but the right side is big enough to be dominant, it should translate into more time for Garcia and better holes for the running backs. They key of course, will be keeping the entire line healthy all season.

Indifference turns Its back
toward the fern embellished wall.
How poverty offends them.
False, soft voices rise and fall,
like joy. A liquid starless
sky obscures—rivers flood
but truth is scarce.
Fragrant lies glissade, stirring
ancient broken landscapes.
Forests will replace these things,
vast oceans will diminish fools.

Nuba is a Lebanese restaurant in Vancouver that originally started out with their location on Hastings and has expanded to numerous locations around Vancouver. They sell pita wraps, lunch plates, and lots of sharing plates for group dining.
For my lunch, I went with the Mjadra pita wrap ($7.25). This was filled with green lentils, jalapenos, rice, avocados, caramelized onions, pickled veggies, organic greens, tahini, and hot sauce.
The pita wrap was slightly warm, soft, and fresh tasting. I'm a big meat eater, but for a vegetarian option, this was full of flavour and delicious. The tender lentils were full of aromatic herbs and spices.
The greens and pickled vegetables added a fresh crunch. Although I don't think avocados are normally used in Lebanese cuisine, the addition of them to the wrap added a buttery richness. The smokey and sweet caramelized onions added another interesting element to the pita.
The pita from Nuba was tasty and bursting with flavour. Some of their plates can get a bit pricey, but the pitas are a great option for an affordable fresh lunch.
Yes, for a yummy pita wrap.

John Minsheu
Jump to navigation Jump to search
John Minsheu (or Minshew) (1560–1627) was an English linguist and lexicographer.
He was born and died in London. Little is known about his life. He published some of the earliest dictionaries and grammars of the Spanish language for speakers of English. His major work was the Ductor in linguas (Guide into tongues), an eleven-language dictionary.[1] With his Ductor in linguas he is also one of the first known inventors of the use of subscription as a method of funding publication of a book.[2]
He also expanded Richard Percivale's Spanish dictionary.[3]

For the fourth year running, Venture has taken home one of the most coveted awards in backcountry snowboarding - the Editor's Choice award from Backcountry Magazine. The 2013 winner is our Euphoria Splitboard - a pow surfer complete with rocker, reverse sidecut and a swallowtail ideal for those epic, deep days. Dubbed "Floatilla the Hun" by Backcountry's testers, here are some of their choice comments about this deck:
"Surfs like a dream. Incredibly agile and nimble for such a wide-waisted board."
"Merges snowboarding and surfing more than any other model...Ride it with bindings or without, as a solid or a split, and chase down the white wave."
The Euphoria is the result of a close collaboration between pow surfing pioneer Johan Olofsson and Venture's founder and design engineer, Klemens Branner, and emerged as part of the company's experimental Shape Shack division. "The idea is to take a bit of a mad scientist kind of approach, experimenting with designs that might normally be considered too wacky, and then testing those concepts by offering small batch releases to the public," says Branner.
Olofsson was visiting the Venture factory working on other board designs when he spotted a board tucked away in the corner. It was a shape that Branner had created several years prior, inspired by classic surfboard design. "I had tinkered with a few different reverse sidecut designs but had put the project on the back burner. When Johan saw that prototype he got all fired up." With a few modifications Olofsson thought Branner's experimental shape would make a perfect pow surfer. They decided to resurrect a previous powder specific model, the Euphoria.
After several new prototypes were built and ridden, Olofsson and Branner settled on the final shape. It includes rocker, reverse sidecut and a swallowtail for unsinkable performance on bottomless days. A full insert pack allows it to be ridden with traditional bindings, though it is designed to excel when surfed bindingless. When asked what it is about bindingless riding that appeals to him, Olofsson explains: "Everything is kind of new, and you have all these new spices. It takes me to a level of snowboarding where I don't even care what anyone thinks about how I ride. I'm having fun."
The Euphoria is the fourth board in the Venture quiver to receive an Editors' Choice Award, following close on the heels of victories by the Odin Splitboard in 2012, the Zephyr Splitboard in 2011 and the Storm Splitboard in 2010. "Four Editors' Choice awards don't lie," says Branner. "To receive such an incredible honor four years running is a huge statement about the quality and performance of our boards. Clearly the backcountry community feels we're doing it right."
For the 12/13 winter season the Euphoria is available through select Venture dealers, as well as the Venture webstore. Like all Venture's boards, it will be offered in both solid and split versions, which will retail for $595 and $895 respectively. Available lengths are 156, 162 and 168 cm.

Nagsalita na si Mayor Duterte. Hindi naman pala siya ang humingi ng paumanhin, ang staff niya ang may gawa nito. Ito ba ang gusto nating Pangulo? Ang hindi marunong kumilala ng pagkakamali at ipipilit na siya ang tama? Kahit sariling tao niya, alam na mali siya. Hiyang-hiya para sa kaniya. Ikumpara natin kay Mar na nirerespeto ng lahat, pati ng mga kalaban niya. Ang mga programa at plataporma, kahit mga kataga mismo, ginagaya.
Mayor Duterte has spoken. He was not the one who asked for an apology, it was his staff that made this. Is this who we want to become President? Someone who cannot recognize when made a mistake and would insist that he is right? Even his own people knows he made a mistake and are embarrassed for him. Compare him to Mar who is respected by everyone, even by his rivals. They copy his programs and platform, even his quotes.###

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Syriza turned its back to the opportunity to save Greece by removing the country from the EU.The cost of this failure goes far beyond Greece and is political as well as economic. Syriza's failure threatens the sovereignty of EU member states as well as their social welfare systems. More importantly, an opportunity to avoid World War III by unraveling NATO was thrown away.
The collapse of Syriza one week after receiving the strong support of the Greek people in the referendum vote awaits explanation. I doubt Syriza would have stood up to the pressure as long as it did if the prime minister intended to join previous Greek governments in selling out the people. It makes no sense for Syriza to sell out on the heels of a referendum victory that greatly strengthened its position in its confrontation with the Troika, especially with one member of the Troika, the IMF, expressing doubts about the Troika's hardline position. Possibly threats were issued that neutered the voice of the Greek people.
Who is Dr. Paul Craig Roberts?
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His internet columns have attracted a worldwide following. Roberts' latest books are The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism and Economic Dissolution of the West and How America Was Lost.

Describing how the battle for the right of mankind to live without heart disease is taking place right now, he summarizes the new understanding of human cardiovascular disease and the role of vitamin C in preventing it.
More information on the role of vitamin C in preventing heart disease can be found in this 25 April, 2015 press release.

The Angel's Song.
Hark ! the angel bands are singing,
"Peace on earth, good-will toward men ;
Thro' heaven's lofty arches ringing,
Swells the blessed, glad refrain.
Shepherds hear the -Wondrous story,
Watching on the star-lit plain ;
Peace on earth, to God be glory—
List the glad triumphant strain.
See, where Bethlehem's star is shining
O'er the lowly manger bed,
Mary, mother, low reclining
Where the ox is stalled and fed.
In her arms the infant Savior,
Clothed with radiance all divine ;
Lo, with costly gifts, the Magi
Kneel and worship at His shrine.
As when shepherds heard and sages,
Floats that angel-song again,
Echoing softly down the ages :-
"Peace on earth, good will toward men."
—Lutheran Witness.

Last month we discussed how red lips were everywhere. In this month's Allure and Vogue, however, there is a slight shift to bold pink lips (though don't put away your gorgeous reds yet!). It was kind of logical to see this coming – first, even in it's most wearable forms, red is often still viewed as a tough color to pull off. Most women have the mentality that red lips are for an evening out, not everyday. Pink is viewed as more casual, even when bold and bright. A second reason that pink may be your lip color of choice is that dark colors like red are sometimes viewed as the province of cold weather – remember flipping through the September issues and loving the dark, densely color saturated lips? Well now most people are sick of winter (I know I am) and can't wait for Spring – bright, warm, pink Spring.
If you are game for pink lips for one or both of the reasons above, you certainly have choices. Bold, demure, electric, stain, lipstick, gloss – all can create a great pink lip that will take you into Spring…even if we still have waaaay too much winter left…
Let's get started with my go-to pink lip stain: Liptini Cordial Shimmering Lip and Cheek Stain in Framboise. I always carry this color with me – it's the perfect light raspberry pink shade, especially for pale skin tones, and it adds incredible dimension to my lips. Even with no other color on, it lights up the whole face. What I find interesting is that it is a moderately bold color and certainly has a ton of pigment, but if the rest of your makeup is generally polished, the color looks natural, as if your lips were naturally this perfect shimmering raspberry. There are so many great lip colors that elicit comments of "I love that lipstick!" but with Framboise, the compliment is always "You look fantastic!" It packs color, but not in a way that overshadows you.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 15, 2014) - Justice Canada
Today, Justice Minister Peter MacKay announced $143,500 in funding for Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children.
The funding will be used by the organization to continue publishing Victim Matters, a bi-monthly publication that serves to increase knowledge and awareness of victimization, the needs of victims of crime, available services, assistance and programs, and relevant legislation. The funding will also be used to undertake a comprehensive exploration of the history of the victims movement in Canada since the early 1980s.
This funding announcement is in keeping with the Government's Plan for Safe Streets and Communities, one of four priorities identified by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in January 2013. It is also in line with the Speech from the Throne 2013 commitment to introduce measures that will increase support for victims of crime.
Quick Facts
"Our Government is committed to ensuring that children are safe from harm. Canadians are grateful for organizations like the Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children, which has been working for almost thirty years to help families with missing children. The funding announced today will go towards helping them provide information, guidance and support to victims of violent crime."

BACKGROUNDER: Federal Victims Strategy and Victims Fund
The Federal Victims Strategy was created in 2007 and made permanent in 2011. The objective of the Strategy, which is led by the Department of Justice Canada, is to give victims a more effective voice in the criminal justice system. The Department of Justice works in close collaboration with other federal institutions, as well as victims, victim advocates, provincial and territorial governments, service providers, and others involved in the criminal justice system. The Department of Justice develops policy and criminal law reform, funds various programs to meet the needs of victims of crime, explores best practices to address victims' needs, and raises awareness about the concerns of victims of crime and their role in the criminal justice system.
Within the Federal Victims Strategy, the Victims Fund is a grants and contributions program administered by the Department of Justice. Funds are available each year to provinces, territories and non-governmental organizations whose projects, activities and operations support the objectives of the Federal Victims Strategy.
The Victims Fund provides funding to projects and activities that:
Since 2006, the Government of Canada has allocated more than $120 million to give victims a more effective voice in the criminal justice and corrections systems through programs and initiatives delivered by the Department of Justice Canada. This funding includes the allocation of $10.25 million for new or enhanced Child Advocacy Centres, since 2010, to address the needs of child and youth victims of crime.
The Government of Canada is building on past measures to further advance the interests of victims, including:
