I am planning on booking a cruise on NCL GEM to Bermuda. The reviews have not been very good. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I have sailed on Carnival, Royal Carribean before & have been very happy.
Welcome to Cruise Chat. It is hard to advise as I don't know what you have been reading in the reviews. I don't pay much attention to reviews, as it's well known that those that want to complain seek out the websites. Many aspects of a cruise are just to subjective. My experience with NCL has always been good.
Hi Smurfette,
I agree with Cruise Fanatic. I've enjoyed all my NCL cruises and I've had one on the Gem and it was great. NCL is different from the other lines mainly in dining, but probably differs in other ways as well.
The Gem itself is beautiful, the staff is very attentive and although food is very subjective, we've always had good to great meals. Look for the sticky buns in the buffet at breakfast time.
Do you have any specific questions?
Thanks for the info. Any input about the mini-suite? I have always had a balcony, but it is definetely too small for 4. Thinking on doing the mini suite.
The mini suites on the Gem are 231 sq ft and have two queen size beds.
Hi Smurfette, welcome to Cruise-Chat! My suggestion is to sail without any preconceived ideas about anything. I have sailed 5 times with NCL and enjoyed each one. We just returned from the Epic and she is indeed worth sailing on. She is a beautiful 1.2 billion dollar ship. I've not sailed on the Gem, but have heard good reviews from others. Cabins on any ship are small, so with 4, you're going to be a little cramped in a balcony, 3 would be no problem. And depending on the ages of your children, 4 is probably doable. We were not allowed to see any of the suites or mini-suites on our cruise as they had gates that you needed sail and sign cards for entrance. From the outside, they seemed much larger than our cabin, but that could have been an optical illusion.
I totally agree with Kraftsinc, the sticky buns are great! The key lime pie at dessert is wonderful, too!
I believe NCL has the longest time in Bermuda, so that is a plus, too.
I really don't think you'll be disappointed.
Welcome to cruise-chat. I agree with Cruise Fanatic regarding reviews.
We're a family of three (including 16-year-old), and we originally booked a mini-suite on sister ship Norwegian Jade last year. While on the ship, I took a peek into one of them and was surprised at how large it was. "Mini-suite," however, is a misnomer, as it's essentially a larger version of a standard balcony cabin. Still, I would think it comfortable for a family of four. How old are your third/fourth passengers?
Bermuda is a fabulous destination... we've been there several times and are returning (on NCL) next summer.
Thanks for the info. My children will be 16 & 14 when we take this cruise. Did your 16 year old have fun? My son is the one who will be 16 & I know he will have fun no matter what we do, my daughter is the one I am worried about. We have done several cruises before, only once on NCL. I am looking forward to Bermuda & being on NCL.
You're welcome. Yes, our son had a good time both on and off the ship. Our cruise was in Europe - a port a day - so it was a busy one. A Bermuda cruise is far more relaxing. Anyway, he almost always stays with us the whole time, and enjoyed the evening shows, the various restaurants, and the pool. While he didn't participate, there's a pretty cool-looking teen center with a juice bar and computers that your teens might enjoy. And, there's so much to do in Bermuda that there will certainly be something for everyone.
As LisaP stated, there is a club for the teens. They have a video arcade, games, and dance areas. If your daughter likes to get involved, you can sign up when you first go on board. They list the events in the Freestyle newsletter.
If your children were younger, I'd say a balcony would do fine. Teens, a mini-suite sounds like a great way to go. I agree with LisaP, there has to be something for everyone in Bermuda. Hope y'all have a wonderful cruise!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/9/2013 (1444 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Yes We Mystic may have cribbed its name from Fabutan's spray-tan slogan, but don't expect fake sunshine from this local indie folk act.
The band, which has been steadily building buzz since forming in 2011, isn't one to shy away from melancholy. Its debut EP, Floods and Fires, which will be released Friday at the Park Theatre, deals explicitly in themes of loss.
Still, the five-song set, produced by Les Jupes frontman/Head In The Sand Records founder Michael P Falk — who was so enamoured by the young band he signed them to his label — isn't bleak. The quintet's mix of soaring indie rock and energetic folk is downright joyous.
Show starts at 8 p.m. and features folk pop outfit From Giants and Oshima, Falk's solo project. Tickets are $12 at the door.

Webinar Description
You will receive the online recording as soon as you order. Check your in-box
Your teachers have enthusiastically embraced the backward design approach of Understanding by Design (UbD) to make curriculum more coherent and thoughtful, and more aligned with standards and assessments.
Now the same principles of starting with the end goals and working backwards to the next concrete steps you need to take as an educational leader can be used to meet the challenges of school improvement.
UbD has long provided educators with a framework for aligning standards, assessments, and instructional practices with the goal of developing students' understanding and transfer abilities. Many of the concepts and tools of UbD and backward design have proven useful in assisting schools and districts develop robust, "results-oriented" school improvement plans.
Jay McTighe will show you how you can use these principles in your own school improvement planning. It's easier than ever to be overwhelmed by data and assessment results and to lose your way in working toward the goals you have for your school or district. Jay can help you cut through the undergrowth and get you on track with the unique perspective and strategy he brings to educational and administrative planning.
Webinar Topics:
- What are the long-term "desired results" of schooling? How should a school's mission guide its work?
- The role essential questions can play in focusing staff and community attention and efforts
- How principles of learning should influence educational practice
- Selecting data–How to develop a "photo album" of evidence, not simply a snapshot, to guide our school improvement efforts?
- How backward design can guide teacher observation practices
- Determining staff readiness levels for needed improvement actions
- How do ensure greater alignment among the elements of a school improvement plan

LDS Business College's long-anticipated move to the Triad Center is set for Tuesday. The school's 1,300 students and staffers will be housed in the 10-story northeast building at 300 W. South Temple in Salt Lake City. The move is part of a downtown-revitalization plan, which will include the LDS Church's plans to make over the two Main Street malls and, later this year, relocating a Brigham Young University-Salt Lake campus to the Triad Center. LDS Business College has been at its current location - the Enos Wall Mansion at 411 E. South Temple - for 43 years. It's the school's second-longest stay in one location, noted school President Stephen K. Woodhouse. So what's going to happen to the current campus? "I have no idea," Woodhouse said. In its 118-year history, LDS Business College's programs have been housed in 15 different buildings. But its seven campus locations never have been more than half a mile from Salt Lake City's Temple Square, according to Woodhouse. The Triad campus will be the college's eighth move, he said, adding that the new location will double the school's classroom capacity. - Shinika A. Sykes
LDS Business College moves next month

Experts Warn That Children May Be Getting Too Much Tablet Time
Could too much tablet time be hurting your child?
It's an issue that doctors are already warning parents about.
Nena Hayes loves dance, so much so that it may be the one activity that stands in the way of her other favorite - technology.
"It's fun to use," says Nena.
"She'll come in and immediately she's face timing her friend, making a snack, walking around the kitchen and talking to each other," said Nena's mother, Denise Hayes.
The King boys love technology, too. Their parents say the boys were using their work iPads for games.
"They were seeing us using it, and then hearing about it at school from some of the older kids, they got interested and starting it on our work iPads," said Danielle King.
"I like the iPad because, like it has some of my favorite games on it," admitted Landon King.
Tech experts say tablet sales are rising so quickly, they believe the tablet market is going to overtake personal computer and notebook computer shipments this year.
"There are more TVs, DVD players, handheld devices, tablet pcs and then smart phones which play games," said Dr. Daniel Coury.
All of those tablets translate to a lot of use - or over use.
Dr. Coury of Nationwide Children's Hospital says just like television, technology for kids in the first grade through high school should not exceed two hours a day.
"We end up with children who have decreased social skills because they're not interacting with each other like you and I are. They have obesity. They have less physical activity," he says.
Coury recommends parents download apps that will track the time and turn off a tablet once the limit is reached. They should monitor use, especially if there is internet access.
He says parents can institute a so-called "tech check" at night: all devices are turned off and stored away from sleeping areas.
The families we spoke with have a few other rules that you might find helpful at your home:
They include no texting after 9 p.m. on school nights and quitting tablet use an hour before bedtime.
One other rule of thumb from the experts is for parents: your children are watching how you use technology.
The adage is true that it's not what you say but what you do.
Here are applications you could try for limiting/monitoring your child's tablet use. I found them in the App Store. You should read the fine print etc. to make sure they are right for your family's use.
Kaboom-App Timer—costs .99 (ninety-nine) cents. This app should be turned ON before you run anyother app. It runs in the background prevents the user from using the device once the set "PLAY" time is over.
Web Guardian—free; enable browsing for a length of time you specify; protect internet access by setting a PIN code
Kiddy Timer (LimeFuse, LLC)—free but offers in-app purchases; you can time activities including technology, toothbrushing etc.

West Is Now Desperately Trying To Avoid Full-Blown Collapse
August 26, 2013
On the heels of intervention in the gold market by the BIS, today a man who has been involved in the financial markets for 50 years warned King World News that Western central planners are now "desperately trying to avoid" a full-blown "collapse." He also spoke about the emergency meeting which took place at the White House last week involving the President, the head of every significant financial agency in the United States, the Fed and the Comptroller of the Currency. This is another one of John Embry's most powerful interviews ever.
Embry: "Gold had a wonderful day on Friday and was challenging $1,400. In any normal market, based on everything that has transpired up to this point, gold would have blasted through $1,400 today and been off to the races. But the reality is that the BIS intervened and capped the price. This doesn't surprise me because I think the BIS has been involved in a lot of the strange movements in the gold price over the past year.
But this is just delaying the inevitable….

Melbourne – American teen tennis sensation Sloane Stephens battled into her first Grand Slam quarter-final on Monday, beating Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski in three tough sets at the Australian Open.
The powerful Stephens, 19, was made to work hard by Jovanovski before prevailing 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 to set up a last-eight clash against either Serena Williams or Maria Kirilenko.
Stephens, whose poise and power has seen her compared to a young Williams, is one of the brightest young talents in the women's game and she displayed all her attributes on Hisense Arena.
"I don't know what happened after the first set but she played great tennis," said Stephens, adding that she hoped to play Williams next.
"I haven't beaten Serena and I hope I'll give you all a good show."
Stephens steamrolled through the first set before the 56th-ranked Jovanovski, 21, woke up and gave her a fright.
The American grabbed the decisive first break on the Serb's opening service game and didn't look back in a set that lasted just 25 minutes.
Jovanovski, another of the tour's big grunters, put up more of a fight as the second set got underway. Both players held serve for 2-2 before Stephens hit a backhand long to give the Serb her first glimmer of hope with a break.
But she threw it away immediately, netting a forehand at break point down before breaking straight back to go 4-3 in front as the intensity of the match rose.
Stephens was rattled and making mistakes as Jovanovski capitalised, winning her serve and then breaking again to take it into a deciding set.
Both players were struggling with their serve, Jovanovski double-faulting six times, and the set saw five breaks as it turned into a baseline slugfest that Stephens finally won when the Serb fired a forehand into the net. – Sapa-AFP

CNN is the serious news organization
Now remember... CNN are the grownups of the news world.
CNN's New Year's Eve Host Kathy Griffin Strips Down to Underwear; Queries Anderson Cooper About His 'Nether Regions' | Video | TheBlaze.com
That's because the truth is out of the bag. CNN had been declining as
a serious news station, nor do I think its 'news host' Wolf Blitzer
has any more clout than the former talk-show host now on Fox, Gilraldo Rivera. :rolleyes:
What an idiot. Fits in with the rest of the CNN clowns well.
Ugh...why? At least Anderson Cooper was sensible enough to seem embarrassed over it.
They are failing and must do anything for ratings. Unfortunately, this stunt only gets a few laughs and then proves just how bad CNN has fallen.
I'd love to come up with a witty comment about CNN but the truth is that anything I would say would pale in comparison to watching any of their programs for even 5 minutes.
All I'm saying- if THAT person worked for me, right now they would be standing at the clinic, holding this little cup they were to fill up........:rolleyes:
Somebody found out they were getting "let go" :P
CNN = LOL. Why does CNN keep having Kathy Griffin host? Isn't there some 10,000 other comedians to use?

W2W4: What to watch for

The SEC games worth keeping an eye on this week
Eastern diversion
Florida fans will be rooting for Ole Miss, which takes on Georgia "between the hedges." The Rebels hold the best chance for the Gators to claim the East after the Bulldogs' victory over the Gators last week. After being criticized from outside and inside the team's locker room, the Dawgs' defense woke up with its back to the wall. Georgia can't let up against a talented Ole Miss attack.
Bayou brawl
Alabama and LSU both had an open date before last season's "Game of the Century." This time, the Tigers are the only ones enjoying an off week heading into the matchup. LSU is hoping to get the same production it's enjoyed lately from freshman RB Jeremy Hill, who's emerged the last two weeks.
We've got next
The last time Texas A&M and Mississippi State met, it was in the 2000 Independence Bowl when the Bulldogs won 43-41 in OT during an unexpected snowstorm in Shreveport. Both teams have taken lumps at the hands of the two West powerhouses recently. If neither team ends up contending this year, it's still a statement game for these two promising programs.

Queensland's new Attorney-General, Jarrod Bleijie, has committed the LNP Government to review the controversial Heiner affair if there is new evidence, or evidence that was ''not properly looked at''.
The Heiner affair refers to the 1990 shredding of evidence into 1988 child sex abuse at the John Oxley Youth Detention Centre at Wacol.
Magistrate Noel Heiner began receiving evidence into allegations of sex abuse in 1989 after being appointed by former National Party police minister Russell Cooper.
At the core of the allegations was the pack rape of a 14-year-old girl by two teenage inmates at the John Oxley Youth Detention Centre during an excursion to Mount Barney in 1988.
The incoming Goss Government in 1990 shredded the evidence that was gathered, on legal advice that the Heiner inquiry was not ''properly constituted'', and opened the government up to legal action from detention centre staff.
Critics say the evidence was illegally destroyed, though that has never been backed by a number of Senate inquiries into the matter.
In July 2010 the Bligh government paid the victim $120,000 as a confidential payment as a result of a Supreme Court action.
The victim at the time described the money as ''yucky, dirty money'' and maintained she wanted the truth to be told.
Mr Bleijie yesterday told Fairfax Radio 4BC he was prepared to have a new look at the allegations on certain conditions.
''If it can be shown that there was evidence at the time that wasn't properly looked at, or was disregarded but would have had a different outcome, then yes we will have a look at it,'' he said.
Earlier this month, Premier Campbell Newman said he was prepared to consider launching a new inquiry into the matter.
"It has been looked at before, perhaps not properly,'' he said.
Mr Bleijie said he would not be pushed into a new inquiry but said he had an open mind.
''I will give the commitment that if there is new evidence, and it can be shown that there is a prospect of success based on that new evidence, then we will look at doing it [a new] inquiry.''
Mr Bleijie said he was prepared to seek Crown advice on the issue.
''If that means I have to get advice from Crown law in terms of that, then we can look at it.''
Whistleblower Kevin Lindeberg, who was a union official representing staff at the John Oxley centre in 1990, has long pressed for inquiries into the matter.
Last night, he insisted nothing had changed since a number of retired Supreme Court judges from New South Wales and Western Australia wrote to then-premier Peter Beattie in July 2007 and insisted an inquiry was needed.
The judges referred a situation in 2004 when a Maleny pastor, Douglas Ensbey, was found guilty of deliberately shredding the diary of a girl in which she detailed her sexual abuse.
''The affair exposes an unacceptable application of the criminal law by prima facie double standards by Queensland law-enforcement authorities in initiating a successful proceedings against an Australian citizen, namely Mr. Douglas Ensbey, but not against members of the Executive Government and certain civil servants for similar destruction-of-evidence conduct,'' the judges wrote.
''Compelling evidence suggests that the erroneous interpretation of section 129 of the Criminal Code (Qld) used by those authorities to justify the shredding of the Heiner Inquiry documents may have knowingly advantaged Executive Government and certain civil servants.''
Mr Lindeberg said he remained confident there was evidence of wrongdoing.
"The Newman Government is to be commended for keeping its election promise to review this serious matter,'' Mr Lindeberg said.
''There is undoubted both "new" and so-called "old/original" evidence not yet properly considered.
"There is compelling evidence showing widespread prima facie systemic abuse of office to keep a lid on this affair for nearly two decades.
''It's all set out in the highly confidential nine-volume [David] Rofe, QC, audit of the Heiner affair which provides the blueprint for a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry."
Mr Lindeberg said his legal team was currently making arrangements to meet Premier Newman and the Attorney-General within the next week.

Selected release
SOPHIE Lellouche's feature debut, Paris-Manhattan, has a potentially overpowering structural premise. It is a kind of homage to the world of Woody Allen that could easily have been clunky or schematic.
Yet, while playing explicit tribute to many of Allen's movies, Lellouche has managed to construct a romantic comedy that, in its modest way, finds a place for her own voice and her own characters amid the over-determined elements. Alice (Alice Taglioni) plays a Parisian pharmacist, working for her father (Michel Aumont) and trying to avoid his over-zealous interest in her professional and personal life.
Taglioni is a tall and elegant actress, who is also a confident comedienne, and she makes Alice a slightly cranky comic figure. Alice is passionate about the movies and their life-changing power - she runs an informal DVD library from the pharmacy - and she is particularly devoted to Woody Allen.
|Reviewer rating

Full synopsis
She has a giant poster of him on her wall, and considers him a kind of guru. Lellouche uses lines from his movies as words of wisdom for Alice; he functions, in fact, in the same way as the figure of Bogart did in Allen's Play It Again, Sam.
Into Alice's life comes Victor (Patrick Bruel), a forthright security consultant who it seems has never seen a Woody Allen film and seems utterly unsuited to her. Bruel is a relaxed foil to Taglioni's wound-up sense of certainty.
The appearance of the real-life Woody Allen is a key payoff. But one of Paris-Manhattan's more beguiling scenes is about a revelation of a more unpredictable kind - a wordless image of romantic love, glimpsed during a stakeout.

Both. You can feel love for anyone and anything, and the same with faith. You can have faith in anyone or anything; doesn't have to be religion, either.

Both are just as important. Can one surpass the other? Of course, just depends on who you are. I believe it's different for everyone.

For a very pious Christian, their faith in God may mean more to them than anything else; for I was told(from a group leader at a church long ago) that you cannot love anyone until you open your heart to God and love him first. Until then, you are loveless.

However, I'm the type of person that goes with the flow, and not religious at all. But, I have faith in my life and in the relationship the love of my life and I have; that is what keeps ME going. The love I have for him, which goes beyond all.
i think faith is important because of its love is in vain
Love if its unconditional...with that comes faith
Feelings come & go, faith is steadfast.
Not entirely true. People's faith change all the time.

France-Rio renews partnership
Rio and Ile De France Film Commissions renew accord
The films commissions of the Ile de France and Rio have renewed their two-year partnership for a second term.
"We share a common vision with Rio on the role the state and region should play in supporting the cinema and audiovisual industries," said Ile de France Commission chief Olivier-Rene Veillon.
The aim of the accord is to foster co-productions; share information on developments in the respective audiovisual industries, and help productions access services in either area.
Through the partnership five French producers were invited to present their projects during the Festival de Rio last October.
Steve Solot, head of the Rio Film Commission, said a number of Brazilian productions were in the process of mulling Ile de France shoots, including Denise Saraceni's biopic of celebrated Brazilian musician Pixinguinha, being produced by Carlos Moletta at Ypearts Audiovisual Ltd.

We created this company because we wanted to make a bigger, more measurable impact on our oceans and encourage people to do the same. So we stopped simply writing checks and started organizing and hosting these cleanups. We wanted to do our part to clean the waterways ourselves.
That's also why we take the care to create products that use responsible materials (like recycled polyester, which reuses plastic bottles so they won't wind up in gyres). If you'd like to help, we'd love to see you at our next cleanup.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Ex and I have a few issues we argue over and haven't reached a resolution. Because we only have a few things left to settle, I'm thinking we might be able to use a collaborative divorce attorney.
What happens if we argue during this process? Will the attorney help us reach a resolution by explaining to us who is wrong/right who would win/lose if we battled in court? Or, if we argued, would we just be left to hire individual attorney's anyway?
Typically, in a collaborative divorce, each side hires an attorney to help negotiate a settlement. Normally, before negotiations begin, each side agrees that if a settlement cannot be reached and the case becomes contested in court, the attorneys will withdraw.
In many circumstances, the attorney that you used to represent you in the collaborative process would not represent you in court. Other experts (such as child psychologists, CPAs, etc.) can be brought into the collaborative process as well.
Attorneys can often help clients resolve an issue by trying to explain "who is wrong/right" and "who would win/lose" in court. However, your question assumes that there is a right or wrong answer for every issue that may come up.
You may hear some attorneys refer to a court battle as "going to Vegas." This is because most of the time, you can never be completely sure of the outcome in a particular case if a judge has to make the final decision. This is particularly so in divorce cases because many of the issues in a divorce, like "the best interests of a child" or the "equities of the parties" often do not have a clear-cut right or wrong answer. Just like two different sets of parents can have different views on raising children - so too can different judges.
Because of this, it is often difficult for attorneys to predict exactly what will happen if you go to court. An experienced attorney may have a good deal of insight as to what might happen, or what is likely to happen, if you go to court. However there are many issues where it is not possible to make a prediction on the outcome with any certainty.
Many attorneys and clients prefer collaborative divorce because they feel it lacks the adversarial nature of a contested court case and creates an environment that fosters cooperation. Others feel that by agreeing not to go to court, clients may be getting themselves into a situation where their hands are tied unnecessarily.
Ultimately, the decision to pursue a collaborative divorce is yours to make. Just keep in mind that choosing not to pursue a collaborative divorce doesn't necessarily mean your case will be a fully litigated "battle." Even if you do not participate in a "collaborative" divorce process as that term is typically used, it is still certainly possible to negotiate, mediate, or take other steps toward a settlement of your case.
It would probably be worthwhile for you to consult with an attorney about the specific issues in your case and your options for dealing with them.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleague. The collaborative or uncontested divorce is a time and financially efficient process. However, it is not uncommon for the parties to have slight disagreements before or during the process. That is why it is important for each party to hire counsel, even for an uncontested divorce. One attorney will naturally take the lead with drafting the documents and advising one client, while the other attorney will protect the other party's interests by negotiating the disagreements and reviewing the documents. Good luck!
This answer is for general informational purposes only. No attorney-client relationship is formed nor should any such relationship be implied. It is always recommended that you contact an attorney licensed in your state, that practices in the relevant area of law, to schedule an in-person consultation.Ask a similar question
Like mediation, collaborative divorce is a fairly modern construct which is not without its flaws. If you cannot agree, it dies on the vine, and you are left with the need to litigate the unresolved issues. In fact, sometimes, you're left with the need to litigate all of the issues, since the other issues formerly agreed to will no doubt be withdrawn in a contested proceeding. If you cannot agree, roll up your sleeves and hire counsel. Good luck.

text: Dan DavisThe Daily JeffersonianA proposal to extend rail service from Byesville to Cumberland near the Wilds was on the agenda Wednesday when the Rail Task Force met. According to Bob Oess of the Cambridge-Guernsey County Community Improvement Corp., the group continues to work closely with American Electric Power, owner of a 9.2-mile stretch of tracks from Derwent to Cumberland. Currently, the CIC owns the 3.7-mile stretch of rail between Byesville and Derwent. Train rides, which include historical narrations, will soon start again along the line, Oess said. The round trip takes about an hour.But the task force is seeking to extend the ride all the way to the Cumberland area along the AEP-owned portion of the line. Oess said that, should a potential investor choose to build a facility in the area, AEP may refurbish the tracks. Portions of the tracks were damaged during the 1998 summer flooding, and the stretch has become overgrown with trees and other growth, he said.The project has been in the works for about 1 1/2 years, Oess said. The track refurbishing carries an estimated pricetag of between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000.

China's 'dangerous acts' at sea could have consequences, warns Japan white paper
Tokyo criticises Chinese and North Korean military action in disputed waters, stoking concerns over a possible escalation in conflict
Related topics
Japan warned that China's "dangerous acts" over territorial claims in the East China Sea could lead to "unintended consequences" in the region, as fears grow of a potential military clash.
Japan's annual defence white paper was adopted by hawkish Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his ministers at a cabinet meeting, heaping criticism on Beijing's unilateral declaration of an Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) late last year.
The ADIZ sparked regional criticism as well as condemnation from Washington, while commentators voiced concern over the growing chances of an armed conflict between the two Asian powers.
Tokyo's paper noted that China's military budget had quadrupled over the past decade and said Japan was seeing an "increasingly severe" security environment.
By comparison, Japan's military budget had been on the decline since 2002, but it took an upward turn, rising 2.2 per cent in the current fiscal year, according to the paper.
"Japan is deeply concerned about the establishment of 'the East China Sea ADIZ' which is profoundly dangerous act that … [may] escalate the situation and may cause unintended consequences" in the region, the 505-page paper said.
Chinese vessels and aircraft have regularly approached an East China Sea archipelago claimed by both countries after Tokyo nationalised some of the chain in 2012, which is believed to harbour vast natural resources below its seabed.
The islands are called the Diaoyu by China and Senkaku by Japan.
In a June confrontation, Tokyo said that two Chinese fighter jets flew within 30 metres of its aircraft in an area where the two nations' air defence zones overlap.
Beijing responded that it was Japanese military planes that flew dangerously close to its aircraft.
China has also laid claim to much of the South China Sea, angering Vietnam, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations.
"In regard to conflicts over maritime interests, China has adopted assertive measures, including attempting to alter the status quo by coercive measures … which is incompatible with the existing international law and order," the paper said.
"These measures include dangerous acts that could cause unintended consequences and raise concerns over China's future direction," it added.
Tokyo's defence paper also warned that an unpredictable North Korea "repeatedly uses militarily provocative words and actions".
"Such military trends in North Korea constitute a serious destabilising factor to the security not only of Japan but of the entire region and the international community," the paper said.
It briefly mentioned other territorial disputes including a row over Seoul-controlled islets – called Dokdo by South Korea and Takeshima by Japan – and the Russian-administered Kuril Islands, which Tokyo calls the Northern Territories.
"These territorial issues remain unsolved," it said.
Abe has vowed to boost spending on Japan's Self-Defence Forces, with Tokyo last month loosening the bonds on its powerful military, proclaiming the right to go into battle in defence of allies. The move was a highly controversial shift in the nation's pacifist stance.
Abe's government has also lifted a self-imposed ban on weapons exports.
His cabinet has agreed to spend 24.7 trillion yen (HK$1.87 trillion) between this year and 2019 on various hardware, including drones, submarines, fighter jets and amphibious vehicles.

|Fire Safety Challenges Associated With Water Conservation Measures in Australia

Issue 86: Fire Safety Challenges Associated With Water Conservation Measures in Australia
By Andre Mierzwa
Conservation of natural resources is a concern globally, and water is a high priority. Societal demand for water came to roost in Australia during a protracted countrywide drought, which started in 2006 and was officially declared ended in 2012 (when drought relief funding ceased).
Australia, renown as the driest continent in the world, relies almost entirely on rainwater captured in reservoirs as the primary source of potable water for all its major and minor population centers. As populations grew, there were no additional dams built — for environmental and political reasons — creating a finite and subsequently dwindling resource, a realization that shook the country when the drought hit.
Within that first year, water storage capacities dropped for all population centers. Typical was levels were 27% of full capacity in Melbourne and 15% in Brisbane. Many regional centers, with limited storage capacity, were down to 5% or less. See Figure 1.
Urgent action was required. Country-wide water conservation initiatives, coupled with water use restrictions, were initiated. Many projects linked major city water sources to smaller, regional systems with interconnecting pipelines. All mainland capital cities started building desalination plants, with the one in Melbourne being one of the world's largest. Today, however, all except for Perth are in standby mode, but the supplemental resource is in place when needed in the future.
Although there were no legislative requirements on commercial or industrial property owners or the fire protection industry to reduce or minimize water usage when conducting system testing and maintenance, the pressure was certainly on to do something. A common occurrence saw employees complain to management when they saw thousands of liters of fire system test water going down the drain while these employees used buckets at home to capture shower water for their gardens.
In response, the fire protection maintenance and testing part of the industry took it upon themselves to minimize the loss of test water by capturing it in portable tanks or tankers for reuse, primarily on public gardens. See Figures 2-4. They also restricted the length of time water was flowed in each test, went to monthly testing (where weekly testing was contracted), and modified systems to divert test water back into suction tanks or installed tanks for recycling the water.
Water authorities around the country were also at the forefront in water conservation initiatives. They saw an opportunity to simultaneously reduce water consumption and preserve aging infrastructure through pressure management programs, with very good results on both counts. These water management programs frequently involved reducing the pressure in water mains.
However, the various pressure management programs took different approaches when it came to the impact on installed fire protection systems. Some authorities consulted widely and did their own surveys to identify potentially impacted systems. Others notified property owners about the water conservation program and left them to their own devices. Unfortunately, in most cases the person who was notified had no knowledge that this would impact their fire protection systems.
The costs for upgrading fire protection systems were not compensated by the water authorities since their charter did not include any provision for providing fire fighting water supplies. Fortunately, some water authorities limited pressure reduction programs to primarily residential areas and bypassed major commercial and industrial areas, but others did not.
In nearly all cases, it was up to the fire protection industry to identify impacted systems and to work with building owners and occupiers to rectify the deficiencies. In most cases, this resulted in either upgraded fire pumps or the installation of new pumps and tanks.
During this period, the fire protection industry was also deep in the process of revising a number of fire protection standards, including the Australian Standard for the routine service of fire protection systems and equipment,1 and incorporated many water saving features into that standard. The industry also collaborated with Standards Australia to produce the Fire Protection Systems Testing – Water Conservation Handbook.2 This handbook evaluated maintenance testing that involved flowing water to provide estimations of water usage as well as options available for saving water and the savings that could be achieved by incorporating the options presented.
Many water authorities have since taken the stance of not allowing fire pumps to draw directly from the town mains. Those water authorities that do permit fire pumps to take suction from city mains have placed specific requirements on those connections, like the installation of recirculating test tanks for flow testing. Water metering of fire services that were previously unmetered are now becoming the norm and creating an incentive to introduce water saving measures for maintenance testing.
Overall, pump and tank installations are frequently the only alternative for a fire protection water supply for new industrial and commercial projects. In some cases, it is used to provide a separate hydrant system fed from the town main; however, the lessons learned during the drought have been embedded into fire protection installation standards, maintenance standards, and in water supply connection requirements.

Russian opposition leader Gennady Gudkov was expelled from Russia's legislative body, the Duma, on a 293-150 vote, in what has been characterized as a warning to the country's anti-Putin movement.
"This is a lawless trial, this is political revenge, an extrajudicial reprisal," Gudkov said.
Members of parliament are not allowed to own or run a business, and the deputy was allegedly engaged in "unlawful entrepreneurship," the Moscow Times reported.
The vote does not only relieve Gudkov from his official position. It also leaves him susceptible to future prosecution.
"They're expelling me from the Duma because they're afraid of the truth, afraid of criticism and my stance," Gudkov said. "We have come very close to the brink that separates an authoritarian regime from a dictatorship."
Earlier this year, during Russia's presidential election, Gudkov supported and helped stage anti-Putin protests, according to the Associated Press.
Gudkov's expulsion comes a day before a scheduled anti-Putin rally.
Perhaps President Putin is trying to tell these would-be protestors something?

Have you tried plugging the iPhone into your PC while running iTunes?
hi people
im new to this forum.
dont know this is the right place to post me question.

Have you tried plugging the iPhone into your PC while running iTunes?
You need to plug it into iTunes first - it will then set up your iPhone. Once it's set up, you can then put in the SIM of your choice and see if it's locked to that network or not.
How can the owner not know? Sounds suss.
In any event, listen to the two above.
Get it up and running then test SIMs. The one that is accepted will be the one it is locked to.
I have seen a few 3G iPhone knock offs on ebay,
Take a closer look at the pics, one has a white iPhone with a black bit at the bottom on the back and one has a what looks like removable section on the bottom at the back,
Be careful what you buy out there guys!
i have plug and connected to itunes 7.7.1 but when i put my vodafone sim card it still ask me to plug to i tunes(it have the usb and itunes icons) is there any thing i have to do to sync the phone with the i tunes? because the i tunes can detected my iphone drive.
yeah i know its sound sus but what can i do. i purchased it already. so its the time to unlocked.
mine is the black colour at the back. i know the aluminium one should be the old iphone which launched last year from US.
Put the sim card in the phone then you need iTunes 8!!! Go to apple.com and download iTunes 8 after you do that plug in the iPhone and you will be asked to do some things.
PLease contact us again after you have installed iTunes 8.

Acerca del creador
Each of us has a unique vision, I explore and express my personal vision through my photography. I find voice for my vision in visual metaphors and aesthetic edges. These images constitute my humble attempt to discover and share what I find meaningful in life. Each of my series starts as a single image, discovered not conceived. That image inspires me to explore an idea, a feeling. Developing that single image into a concept I strive to peel back the layers and find the core meaning and then build from there a collection of images that expresses the meaning discovered. Thematically I find my work explores a sense of isolation, the power of borders and the dynamic exchange of emotion found in edges of our environment. I eschew photographic convention choosing varied methods to express my views. These non-conformist techniques include use of damaged, degraded lenses and I value mass over detail to keep the viewer focused on the meaning, not the technique.

Newsround's Adam may look like he's exploring the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, but he's actually in the middle of an art project in London.
Two artists from America and their friends from around the world have spent years creating a coral reef out of wool, by doing a type of knitting called crocheting.
They did it because coral reefs are important for the environment, but scientists say they are under threat.
Adam went along check to it out, and have a go at crocheting!
Believe it or not, I am actually quite nifty with some knitting needles.
You hold the crochet hook in your right hand (if you're right-handed) and you feed the wool through with your left hand.
You pull the wool through a little loop to make your stitch.
My crochet coach was Margaret, who has spent hundreds of hours making a fake coral reef out of wool.
You need to concentrate really hard and have good hand-eye co-ordination, but once you get going it's amazingly relaxing.

Math problems of the week: riddles in 2nd grade Investigations vs. Singapore Math
4 comments:
- GPC said...
I've never understood the popularity of story writing in Math. Is there supposed to be a point to this? I sometimes wonder if the people who are developing curricula and writing textbooks ever stop and ask what is the purpose of this or that exercise? What are we expecting children to learn from this? Is what they are learning useful? Or are they just trying to make school fun for kids, regardless of a lack of educational benefit?
- July 9, 2010 at 5:13 PM
I understand what they are trying to do, but not how they do it. I'm getting ready to teach a math review as part of a summer bridge program, and as part of their review assignment, I have them write their own problems and solve them. But, these are college students and I'm teaching them to look for patterns and types of word problems (since often students with modest math skills see each word problem as a unique thing that is unrelated to any other problem they've seen).
I could imagine a good assignment for a second grader that had several related Singapore math-type word problems, and then asked them to write one of their own. Learning how to write a problem is a good skill to have, since to do it well you need to identify all the key parts of a problem. But giving them the numbers they have to use without any models is just setting them up for randomness and frustration, without teaching them anything.

I suspect the popularity of story-writing is to try to teach application. It always seems a bit forced.

I have used it (infrequently) to allow students an opportunity to explain their thinking. These comments prompted me to finally write a blog post about a book I picked up in Singapore on using journals in the math classroom.
One thought on the Investigations page: How can you ask a second grade child to write and illustrate a funny or silly or serious word problem in so little space? Do the publishers lack knowledge of both content AND pedagogy?

Etoile, who won their first Champions League earlier this month, face Mexico's Pachuca on 9 December.
"I'm sure Etoile will show the victory over Al Ahly was well deserved," Othman Jenayeh told BBC Sport.
"Etoile have a good chance of beating Pachuca; they're not top of the Mexican league, but they're a good team."
"If we beat them, we would play Boca Juniors (Argentina's Copa Libertadores winners) in the semi-final so we have many dreams now."
Etoile earned the right to face Pachuca, the Concacaf Champions Cup holders, after beating Egypt's Al Ahly 3-1 on aggregate in the final.
This represented a personal milestone for Jenayeh, who joined Etoile as a 12-year-old and represented the club as a player for over a decade before assuming the presidency back in 1993.
Until he stepped down last year, the former striker had invested a considerable part of his life trying to establish the Sousse-based club as Africa's best.
"This victory makes me feel something in my heart," the 59-year-old explains.
"For long days and years, we built Etoile to reach this level and I am sure the fans know I had some input into the victory.
"We can now say that Etoile are the best in Africa - especially as we beat Al Ahly in their Cairo Stadium," says Jenayeh.
"Even though it's harder to stay on the top than to get there, let's savour the victory for now."
These are sweet times for African football's recent bridesmaids, who won their first domestic title since 1997 in May after finishing runners-up for nine successive years.
Etoile continue a wonderful season by becoming the first Tunisian club to participate in the Fifa Club World Cup.
Like European champions AC Milan, New Zealand's Waitakere United as well as Asian champions Urawa Red Diamonds and Iran's Sepahan, Etoile must name their 23-man Club World Cup squad by 30 November.
What are these?

Editors Dish: 6 Crowd-Pleasing Party Recipes
'Tis the season for dinner parties, cocktail hours, and holiday potlucks. So what's a health-conscious foodie to do? Bring a delicious, good-for-you dish, of course! The Everyday Health editors love the delicious bites of the season just as much as the next partygoer, but they're also conscious of fat and calories and careful not to load on unhealthy ingredients. Curious what we're whipping up in the kitchen? Here are six editor-approved dishes being served this season — chock-full of delicious flavor (and healthy ingredients!), without the side of guilt.
"Happy Accident" Kale Salad
Ellen Collis, senior associate editor: "This is my go-to kale salad: I make several big batches to have on hand for lunches or dinners so that I have a healthy meal readily available throughout the holiday season. The 'happy accident' part came in when I recently decided to add sweet potatoes — it's a tasty addition! The great thing about kale is that it is so versatile, so feel free to substitute the nuts and cheese for what you already have on hand, and add your favorite winter fruit like apples or pears. Since holiday vegetables tend to be doused with butter or covered in cheese and creamy sauces, this dish is a great option for a holiday gathering, offering plenty of flavor while still allowing the leafy greens to shine."
2 large bunches of lacinato kale
Pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup toasted walnuts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 small red onion, diced
Roasted or boiled sweet potatoes, diced apple or pear chunks (optional)
Dressing: 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
Directions: Combine dressing ingredients. Shred kale by chopping finely with a knife. Add dressing to chopped kale and mix thoroughly. Let marinate — the longer the better! Toss with remaining salad ingredients and serve.
Mushroom CasseroleTiffany Ayuda, senior associate editor: "I made this dish for a friend's Thanksgiving party. You get the same satisfying, rich taste as in traditional casseroles, but I used low-fat cottage cheese and fat-free sour cream as healthy substitutions. After baking, the brown rice on top turns into a crunchy golden crust, so there's no need to add bread crumbs; plus it offers filling protein and fiber, while giving the dish a nutty flavor and hearty texture. People were surprised to learn that most of the ingredients were nonfat or low-fat. It's a great vegetarian option, too, as the mushrooms lend a meaty texture — and it's also gluten-free!"
Get the recipe!
Sweet-Potato Pomegranate SaladBrianna Steinhilber, associate editor: "Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite holiday side dishes, but I am less than psyched about the calories and fat. This year on Thanksgiving, I whipped up this super easy sweet-potato salad to contribute to the spread. It was every bit as satisfying as mash but so light and made with healthy olive oil instead of butter. The crunchy pomegranate seeds and salty feta really balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes. I definitely plan to make it again this season for holiday dinners with friends and family!"
Get the recipe!
Holiday-Inspired Pizza
Gabrielle Frank, associate editor: "When I hosted a couple of friends for a dinner party they loved this pizza — everyone asked for the recipe! It honestly took me about 15 minutes total to prep, and it's lighter than ordering delivery pizza, which a lot of people tend to do for holiday parties. The pancetta was very light on the pizza — so it had fewer calories than a pizza smothered with sausage and pepperoni. If you cut it up into a lot of small pieces it could make for a good appetizer for a holiday party — and have fewer calories than many store-bought pizzas that are high in fat and use processed ingredients."
3 to 4 cloves of garlic (optional)
2 cups of brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (4 oz) container of diced pancetta
Whole-wheat pizza dough
1 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese (part skim) [Editor's note: I used a 4-cheese blend, but part-skim mozzarella would be healthier and still taste good!]
Preheat oven to 350 F. Chop garlic into small pieces; cut up brussels sprouts so pieces are relatively thin. Add olive oil to a frying pan, heat on low for a minute. Add pancetta and cook until brown.
Take pancetta out of pan, but leave remaining olive oil. Add half of garlic to the pan and let it heat up for a minute. Add all brussels sprouts. Once the sprouts begin to brighten in color and become tender, add pancetta in and mix together. Once the mixture looks even, turn off burner and set aside.
Knead out pizza dough onto a pan or pizza stone.
Pour sprout/pancetta mix onto pizza dough — spreading evenly. Cover with cheese and remaining garlic (add as much as you'd like!). Cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
Triscuit Snack MixBrianna Steinhilber, associate editor: "I hosted an ugly-sweater cocktail party for friends and threw together this quick snack mix a few minutes before everyone arrived. My roommate is a baker extraordinaire, and with all the delicious desserts filling the apartment, I expected my healthy mix to remain untouched — but it was the first thing to go! Everyone flipped over it; the combination of salty popcorn, the buttery Triscuits, and earthy kale chips is a match made in heaven. I even had people who had never tried kale chips before ask for the recipe. I highly recommend serving this as a healthier option at any holiday gathering, or bring it as an addition to the spread if you're attending a party as a guest!
Get the recipe!
*Time-saving hint: Instead of popping the popcorn from scratch, I opted for an all-natural, lower-sodium brand, Simply Balanced — one of my favorites! It is just 130 calories per three-cup serving and passes my "under-five ingredients" test with flying colors.
Lemon-Vanilla-Ricotta Stuffed GrapesDebbie Strong, senior editor: "I love entertaining, but it's stressful enough without trying to create elaborate dishes! I chose this dainty appetizer because it can be assembled in under 15 minutes, but looks really elegant - it's like a sophisticated take on a typical cheese-and-grape platter. Protein-rich low-fat cottage cheese is the basis of the stuffing, and I added a touch of low-calorie sweetness and flavor with the lemon zest, vanilla bean, and honey. Instead of fresh figs, which the original recipe called for but were out of season, I used the much-easier-to-find large Red Globe grapes. The final touch is a sprinkling of toasted crumbled pistachio nuts, a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. People gobble these up quickly, so be sure to make extra!"

A-Rod: 'Madonna is my f—ing soulmate'
It doesn't seem like enough of A-Rod's friends can come out of the woodwork and profess how deeply he loved Madonna. One buddy recalls having dinner with the New York Yankee who kept texting someone and laughing like a schoolboy, according to Us Weekly:
"He told me it was Madonna," A-Rod's friend says. "I was shocked."
The highest-paid player in baseball then "proceeded to say he was in love with her," the pal tells Us. "I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't."
By February, the 32-year-old slugger had upped the ante. "He said, 'She's my f–king soulmate, dude,'" the friend tells Us.
I'm just waiting for a batboy to show up in the tabloids confessing "I was there. I handed him his cock! He tipped his hat to me and pointed to the outfield just like Babe Ruth before he hit a home run. Except what happened next was way dustier, and I'm pretty sure I saw a Sphinx."

My Biology teacher told us not all genetic traits are as cut and dry as dominant and recessive. I had asked her why my skin color was neither like my mom who is extremely light or my father who is very dark. Im in between. She said skin tone was a trait that is different from the rest is that is can take on a mixture of both traits. Im guessing the same is true for hair patterns which means a 1 and 4 could make a 2.
Yes, it's real. No, you can't touch it.

Matthews pleads not guilty in New London double murder
A New London man accused of killing two neighbors on April 14 and torching their Blinman Street house to cover up the crimes pleaded not guilty Thursday in New London Superior Court to murder charges.
Joel Matthews, 29, is charged with two counts of murder, capital felony and second-degree arson.
Matthews waived his right to a probable cause hearing. Judge Patrick J. Clifford asked Matthews if he understood that since he gave up his rights to a hearing, the court would no longer have to find that the state had met its burden of proof.
Matthews replied simply, "Yes."
Clifford also told Matthews that if he is convicted of capital felony, he could be sentenced to death or to life in prison without the possibility of release. Matthews was charged with a capital case before Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed a law passed by the legislature repealing the death penalty.
Anyone who committed a crime before the repeal took effect is still eligible for capital punishment, according to Michael Lawlor, the state Office of Policy and Management's undersecretary for criminal justice policy and planning.
Supervisory Assistant State's Attorney Lawrence J. Tytla said it was too soon to say what penalty the state would pursue.
Matthews is accused of fatally beating Noel Starback, 57, and Sherry Roush, 50, who lived in the first-floor apartment at 36 Blinman St. The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled that the couple died of blunt trauma and that the manner of their deaths was homicide.
Starback and Roush were often seen walking downtown. Starback was a handyman whose carpentry can be seen at Y-Knot Café and Bank Street Café. In 2007, he repainted the 30 steel carousel horses at Ocean Beach Park.
Matthews lived on the second floor of the apartment house.
On Thursday, Tytla also asked the court to continue to keep the prosecutor's report and search warrants in the case sealed due to the investigation. Tytla said he could not state his reasons for making the request without "letting the cat out of the bag."
Clifford granted the request. Matthews' case was continued to July 5.

Everything about Africa that stirs the imagination is concentrated in its southernmost country. Lions freely roam vast game reserves such as Kruger National Park, vineyards stretch across the Cape Winelands, and mountains cascade into the sea along miles of beaches. In addition to dream safaris and romantic honeymoons, South Africa offers modern cities with thriving arts and dining scenes. South Africans are welcoming, and the country's emergence from a turbulent past provides a dramatic history lesson and the promise of something new every time you visit.
