Thousands of English Cameroonians flee to Nigeria
from EMEKA OKONKWO in Abuja, Nigeria
ABUJA, (CAJ News) – REFUGEE agencies are stepping up their presence in Nigeria to provide support to thousands of people fleeing government crackdowns in English-speaking areas of neighbouring Cameroon.
Amid the onslaught by government forces, more than 7 000 Cameroonians have fled the Central African country and sought refuge in southeastern Nigeria.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has registered some 7 204 arrivals in remote areas of Nigeria's Cross River State.
Thousands more are awaiting registration.
Some 70 percent of the registered asylum seekers come from the area of Akwaya in south-west Cameroon.
Women and children are the majority.
Local communities near the border are hosting them.
"As the unrest in Cameroon continues and more asylum seekers arrive, UNHCR is concerned that the local population's capacity will soon be stretched to its limits," said UNHCR spokesperson, Andrej Mahecic.
Since November 2016, Cameroon is suffering from a series of protests from the English-speaking northwestern and southwestern regions.
They allege marginalisation by the French-dominated government of President Paul Biya.
Scores of activists have been killed or jailed as a result of these protests while media in the English part of the country was shut with journalists arrested.

Such a long post I apologise...if anyone has had a similar experience or any knowledge of this, please comment. Thank you.
Such a long post I apologise...if anyone has had a similar experience or any knowledge of this, please comment. Thank you.
Hi Sorry you are going through this. It's the most awful feeling that I don't think anyone can begin to imagine unless you have been there. I had very similar finding on my 20 week scan and we were referred to specialists. Unfortunately at the time there did appear to be something wrong but not what our original hospital had said. We were very very lucky in the problem seemed to sort itself out and a small issue has no affect on my little boy. I know it's really difficult but try not to Google things wait for specialist and just take each day as it comes. Apologies if this hasn't been much help but didn't want to read and run xx
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really do appreciate it. It has been an agonising wait but I'm almost there...come Friday we will know- feel physically sick at the thought of it :/ just trying to stay positive and hoping for good news. I'm so glad the issue with your little boy rectified itself!! I can only hope and pray for the same.
Sorry to hear this, it's so horrible to go through. Here's my story, at my 20 week scan the sonnographer was scanning me and kept looking at my little girls heart. She's my first so didn't really know what the expect. He wasn't sure because he could see a shadow so asked a colleague to double check. She also couldn't tell but at the time of my scan there was a fetal cardiac clinic at the time so they asked one of the cardiologists to come and check. The cardiologist wasn't too sure so asked me to move to another room whereby her other colleague scanned me and informed me my baby had a whole in her heart called a VSD. They then booked me in to see them again 2 days later as it was at the end of the day when I saw them. My little girl was then diagnosed with a large VSD. I was then referred to Glenfield hospital whereby I had further scans at 28 weeks and 35 weeks and they explained what would happen. Also the cardiologist who scanned me at 28 and 35 weeks noticed a narrowing to the main artery to the heart called and coacrtation of the aorta. I was also under another consultant for fetal medicine as they decide the plan for delivery with the cardiologists. As my little girl had the narrowing she had to go on medication straight after birth and had an operation to correct the narrowing at 5 days old. She will have her VSD closed when's she abit bigger. It's such a scary time, but I feel lucky they picked this up in her scans as if they didn't she would have been very poorly due to the narrowing as this needed to be corrected so early on. She's 8 weeks now and is doing really well 😊.
Which hospital are you under?
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I appreciate it so much! Firstly, I'm so glad your little girl is doing well!! It helps to know that others have been in my shoes and can relate to what is taking place. All I know is, this vessel is enlarged and nothing else has been detected. I'll know the situation tomorrow afternoon after an agoniszing wait. I'm in Northern Ireland so the only hospital for Fetal cardiology is the Royal Victoria Hospital which I have been referred to from my local hospital. God willing tomorrow brings good news. Sending best wishes to you and your baby girl xx
Yes they did, I decided not too as I didn't want to risk miscarriage as it took years to get pregnant. I had the private harmony test which came back low risk. The fetal medicine consultant was happy with this but it only checks for trisomy 21,18 and 13. Some heart conditions are linked to others so when baby was born they took blood from the cord for testing. It took 2 weeks to come back and was so pleased it was all clear. It was horrible throughout my pregnancy as I was worrying throughout as I didn't have the amino test. I worried throughout anyway due to my babies heart condition but all the doctors said she was safe inside me just when she get delivered. I was lucky they spotted it at my 20 weeks scans as if they didn't my little one might have been really poorly. She's 8 weeks now and doing really well but we had some complications. One more operation to go when she's 6 months plus.
How many weeks pregnant are you? Xx
If you have any questions just let me know 😊 Xx
My baby has fallot. X
Yeah they percentage is low just such a hard decision for anyone to go through. They did offer the amino test at 34 weeks as there is less risk then but still decided not too. Was so pleased when I found out she didn't have anything 😊. Does your baby have TOF (Tetralogy of Fallot). If your baby does I met parents with little ones who had this 😊. They had surgery when they were about 5 months and one little girl recovered and went home within 5 days which is amazing. X
Yes he has that I've been told. Thank you it's nice to know of positive outcomes xx

UEFA charges Barcelona over fan banner at Man City match
March 20, 2015
NYON, Switzerland (AP) — UEFA has charged Barcelona over fans showing an "illicit banner" at Camp Nou during a Champions League win against Manchester City.
UEFA announced the incident Friday but did not give details. Barcelona won 1-0 on Wednesday to advance from the round of 16 on a 3-1 aggregate score.
UEFA says its disciplinary panel will judge the case on May 21.
The two-month wait for a hearing suggests the incident is not serious.
UEFA typically fast tracks cases so it can apply sanctions at a team's next home match.
Barcelona hosts Paris Saint-German in the second leg of the quarterfinals on April 21.

I know my BG spike 1 or 2 mmol/l from 5.5-6.2(before sport) during exercise. Today I was surprised to find I had 2 spikes (one 8.9 and another 8.2) at the game. Because today (badminton game) is quite a close match and we played quite seriously (each is 30 minutes), after game I see the spike and then I sit and wait for 45 minutes to see it drop back to 6.2 as fast as it rised to 8.x
So my questions is
1. What's the "concernable" spike reading during the exercise?
2. What's the solution to avoid it, if >8 spike is bad thing? Option 1: NO game. 2.Take a break during game; 3. Reduce the game length and get full break between games 4. Finish all games (let the BG keeping peak level other than up and down.) then go home. 5. Open to suggest
Sorry I started a new thread since it is not very clear what we are discussing now on the "Normal Sugar Level" thread.

- Tim Tebow 2-2, R, RBI, 2 BB, .250/.321/.396
- Levi Michael 1-3, R, HR, 3 RBI, K, .214/.262/.429
On the night, the Rumble Ponies could not quite catch the Fisher Cats. A Michael fourth inning two-run homer pulled the Rumble Ponies to within a run. After falling to three runs down entering the bottom of the sixth, Tebow would deliver a two out RBI, but he would be stranded. From there, Church was unable to continue holding the fort.
On the night, Alonso extended his hitting streak to three games, Mazeika extended his hitting streak to six games, and Tebow now has hit in two straight games. With respect to Tebow, he has a hit in 11 of the 14 games he has played this season.
- Andrew Church (L, 0-3,5.82) 6.1 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 6 ER, BB, 2 K
- David Roseboom (3.60) 2.2 IP, 2 H, R, ER, 4 K
Church followed his best start of the season with him fighting through six innings and then falling apart in the seventh. He's now allowed four plus earned in two of his four starts.
This was Roseboom's third appearance since being sent down to Double-A, and he has allowed a run in two of those three appearances. He has also gone multiple innings in two of his three appearances.
St. Lucie (8-9) 5 – Charlotte (9-9) 3 (Game 1) Box Score
- Andres Gimenez 2-4, R, K, SB
- Desmond Lindsay 0-2, 2 R, 2 BB
- Dash Winningham 2-4, R, HR, 3 RBI, K
- Ian Strom 2-2, R, SB
St. Lucie won this game on the strength of a fifth inning rally. After a Gimenez single and stolen base, Lindsay walked setting the stage for the Winningham go-ahead three run homer.
Gimenez has yet to be thrown out in his five stolen base attempts. Strom is breaking out of his cold snap with him getting multiple hits and scoring runs in two of his last three games.
- Justin Dunn (W, 2-1, 1.8o) 5.2 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
- Ryder Ryan (S, 1, 0.00) 1.1 IP, H
Dunn responded to his worst start this season by having his longest start of the season. In his four starts this season, he has yet to allow more than two earned runs, and he has struck out at least five batters. On the downside, he's now allowed eight hits in two straight starts, and he has walked two plus in three straight starts.
Ryan now has pitched 22 scoreless innings dating back to last year. Even though he did not strike out anyone tonight, he has struck out 25 batters over this stretch.
St. Lucie (9-9) 6 – Charlotte (9-10) 5 (Game 2, 8 innings) Box Score
- Jacob Zanon 2-4, RBI, .217/.257/.304
- Andres Gimenez 0-2, BB, HBP, CS, .273/.338/.409
- Luis Carpio 1-3, 2 R, .220/.328/.320
- Dan Rizzie 1-2, 2 R, RBI, BB, .333/.387/.333
- Dale Burdick 3-3, R, 3B, 2 RBI, .240/.345/.440
St. Lucie came back two times to win this extra inning game. The first big rally was a three run sixth inning highlighted by a two RBI Burdick triple. Down a run in the eighth, with the help of the new extra inning rule putting a runner on second base to start the inning, St. Lucie would quickly load the bases. The tying run was scored on a Rizzie sacrifice fly, and Carpio scored the winning run on a wild pitch.
Gimenez was hit by a pitch on the hand in the third inning. He would stay in the game, and we will see how this affects his playing time going forward.
- Josh Prevost (7.71) 4.1 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 K
- Matt Blackham (0.96) 1.2 IP, K
- Stephen Nogosek (3.00) 1.0 IP, BB, K
- Matt Pobereyko (W, 1-1, 2.35) 1.0 IP, R, ER, BB
In the doubleheader, St. Lucie's bullpen did not permit an earned run, and they have not allowed one since Friday. Blackham has been a big part of that with him not allowing a run since his first appearance on the year. Since then, Blackham 8.1 innings while striking out nine batters.
Charleston (8-10) 7 – Columbia (11-7) 5 (Game 1, 8 innings) Box Score
- Matt Winaker 2-4, R, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI, .242/.358/.348
- Jeremy Vasquez 3-4, R, 2 2B, RBI, .339/.481/.542
- Quinn Brodey 2-4, R, 2B, RBI, .254/.359/.414
From an offensive standpoint, Columbia largely lost this game due to Rigoberto Terrazas hitting into two hard luck double plays. In the fifth, with three runs already across the plate, Brodey was picked off second after Terrazas lined out to the shortstop. In the eighth, Terrazas hit what could have been the go-ahead sacrifice fly. Instead, Winaker was thrown out at the plate.
With Vasquez's three hits, he has now reached base in all 17 games he has played in this season. Brodey snapped an 0-14 streak heading into this game in a big way with three hits.
- David Peterson (4.63) 5.2 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 5 ER, BB, K
- Steve Villines (3.86) 1.1 IP, H, 3 K
- Carlos Hernandez (L, 0-1, 1.04) 0.2 IP, H, 2 R, ER, K
Peterson was not able to backup an impressive start to the season with Charleston scoring in four of the first five innings of the game. When he finally got the lead in the top of the fifth, he failed to have that shut down inning to help his team win the game.
Villines has not allowed an run over his last five appearances. Over this streak, he has pitched 7.2 innings, and he has struck out 15 while walking none.
Charleston (9-10) 2 – Columbia (11-8) 1 (Game 2) Box Score
- Blake Tiberi 0-2, R, BB, K, .317/.449/.429
- Jeremy Vasquez 1-3, 2B, RBI, .339/.481/.542
Whereas the Columbia offense performed well in the first half of the double header, they scuffled in the second half only getting three hits. Their lone of the game was seemingly an accident with Tiberi leading off the sixth with a walk, and he would move around the bases on a passed ball and a pair of ground outs.
As noted above, Vasquez has now reached safely in all 18 games he's played this year.
- Chris Viall (L, 1-1, 2.51) 5.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 12 K
- Joshua Payne (3.38) 0.2 IP, BB, K
For the second straight start, Viall has set a career-high with strikeouts, and he now has consecutive double digit strikeout games.

Question: Riddle me this, oh great Ausiello. Why, if there are many episodes of Men in Trees left, does ABC refuse to air them? With the TV landscape looking more and more barren, can't they at least throw us a little bone?
Answer: Your bone was delivered via press release a few weeks ago, and it looked a little something like this: Men in Trees will take over Cashmere Mafia's Wednesday at 10 pm/ET time slot beginning Feb. 27. Best-case scenario, ABC keeps the show there until May 7, which is when its current 11-episode surplus will have been depleted. But considering ABC's track record with MIT 234 time slots in two years! I'm not holding my breath.

1 An Inphonite White Paper 6601 E Grant Rd, Ste. 201 Tucson, Arizona How an Automated Interactive Voice System Can Benefit Your Medical Practice
2 Contents Introduction 2 Problem Statement 2 Previous Options 2 A Brief Evolution of Messaging Systems 3 Benefit 1 3 Benefit 2 3 Benefit 3 4 Benefit 4 5 Implementation 5 Summary 5 Introduction This white paper will explain the basic details of how an automated interactive voice (IVR) system can benefit a healthcare organization s practice by saving significant time and money, improving office productivity, and increasing patient satisfaction. Problem Statement As a business, it is vitally important that patients remember their appointments. Rarely does a day go by that every scheduled patient actually shows up, arrives on time, arrives at the correct location, carries their correct documents, and is totally prepared for their appointment Previous Options In the past, one of the most common ways to reduce the inefficiency of the ever-occurring no show appointment was to overbook, scheduling several appointments for the same time. However, this practice made for longer wait times and less patient satisfaction. Reminders were another method doctors used to keep the calendar full and keep the day running smoothly. Responsibility for these reminders generally fell to whoever was at the front desk. These overworked employees busily scribbled down the next appointment date and time information on the backs of business cards and then handed them to patients who were leaving. The appointment time and date also had to be entered into an appointment book or in a calendar system on the computer. However, 2
3 this was an ineffective system because the business cards with appointment information were frequently lost by the patients. Additionally, the same employee may be the one calling the patients with their reminders a day or two in advance. In fact, in many cases, even the doctors themselves contact the patients the day or night before an appointment to remind them to come in. This method is very time consuming for office staff and physicians and is difficult to consistently contact patients in a timely manner. calls, s, text messaging, and social networking sites such as Twitter is in. Today s software messaging platforms must be powerful and flexible enough to adapt to each doctor s and patient s specific needs. Patient messaging systems have been around since the early 1990s, and continue to make technology advancements that benefit both the physician s practice and the patients themselves. Listed below is an overview of the types of IVR systems, product features, and benefits they can bring to your practice. A Brief Evolution of Messaging Systems This universal problem for physicians brought about the first technology solutions of automated calling systems which left very basic messages to patients by phone. This was a vast improvement over office staff having to make individual phone calls manually. However, as time passed and society became highly computerized and mobile, the technology had to advance to keep pace with all of the new communication options available via computers and cell phones. Reminder systems needed to be flexible and convenient for increasingly busy patients who began requesting reminders via different means of communication, which in turn made it virtually impossible for office staff to continue this manually. The times demanded a change. Clearly, overbooking and relying only on business card reminders are out. Interactive phone Benefit 1 Save Money Saving Money is the number one benefit of an automated IVR system for any organization. Less time on the phone by office staff means less overhead. More people showing up for appointments means more insurance dollars, more co-pays, and more private pays. With the way insurance companies are constantly lowering the U&C rates for services, doctors need to see more patients just to make ends meet. An effective IVR System is guaranteed to make a significant improvement in this area. Benefit 2 Save Time Saving time means increased productivity, which also saves money. Consider how much additional work and services can be performed when office staff is no longer required to manually make appointment reminder phone calls or send s to 3
4 patients. A Manager of a one-person psychologist s office is quoted as saying, The doctor can t afford to have missed appointments, and she can t afford to keep me around either. She says she s going to make her own reminder calls from now on, but I wonder how that will work. Patients that know she s calling will certainly engage her in chatting. It s a good thing she can set boundaries. Or maybe she ll get her teenage sons to make the calls for her now that I m leaving. It is not easy for doctors to make telephone calls because this task is very time consuming and doctors are easily and frequently pulled into the lives of patients. On average, the Office Manager above made about 10 calls in one hour. In this situation, it was a comfort that the doctor only saw 10 patients a day, as that left seven hours of time for office staff to handle the bookkeeping, filing, transcription, ordering supplies, and every other office task that came along. Even one extra hour a day would have been welcome and valuable, especially when it came to sitting on hold with insurance companies that were constantly saying they weren t going to pay, didn t get the HCFA (Health Care Financing Administration) forms, didn t receive the primary insurance paperwork, or had no record of a secondary insurance, etc. Equally as important, an effective IVR System will save patients time. How many times do patients drive all the way to the office, only to realize their appointment isn t for another hour, or even the next day or week? Patients appreciate reminders, notifications, and updates. With a good IVR and customized calling rules, patients can even be notified if the doctor is running late. One OB patient said, I d love to be notified that my doc is doing a delivery. I don t enjoy being 7-months pregnant and waiting around for three hours while she delivers a baby. I d rather reschedule or come back later. Benefit 3 Technology Must Evolve to Keep up with Patients. Most IVR Systems allows patients to receive their Appointment Reminders and other messages via phone, , text, or even Twitter or leave responses regarding these messages. A variety of pre-planned Voice messages can be recorded by someone in the office and then sent to a patient via the communication means they choose. Or messages can be typed into the system and delivered to patients using the latest text-tospeech technologies or message formatting. Using these techniques, patients will have no excuse to miss an appointment except for an emergency or for unforeseen circumstances. And, since the patient has been reminded so effectively and professionally, the office can even consider charging a reasonable fee for no-shows. Most systems provide a variety of reports detailing the ways patients were contacted, if they responded, hung up, received voic , etc. It is easy to document a repeat offender of no shows, so that the matter can be discussed with them before escalating to charging a fee. 4
5 Benefit 4 Flexible platform. Most companies want flexible solutions that can adapt and be customized to their business and processes, rather than having to purchase new software for every office function. One example is the ability to use an Import Template that allows users to create their own Imports if the office makes a change to its Practice Management or Electronic Medical Records software or the way they send their messages. Another strong benefit: the messages and notifications that can be created and delivered are not limited to appointment reminders. Messages can be created to inform or remind patients that the office has moved, or that ongoing renovation makes it easier to access the office from a different entrance, or even that patients with flu or other symptoms should wear a mask before coming in. Additionally, complete IVR systems will allow things like private mailboxes, touch tone responses or voic , and text back capabilities so medical practices know without a doubt that their patients got the message. The possibilities are endless. Record programs, Contact Managers, and other software. Interactive Voice Response Systems can be implemented as complete in-house hardware/software solutions or as online or hosted subscription services depending on what works best for the customer. Summary The benefits are clear. An effective Interactive Voice Response System will save any healthcare organization money and time and significantly increase patient satisfaction. It will also demonstrate to patients that your organization is tech-savvy and committed to proactively communicating with them to ensure that the physician/patient relationship is a positive one. Implementation Interactive Voice Response Systems can be beneficial to any-sized organization. There are versions available for small one-doctor practices, medium-sized practices, all the way to large hospital-sized enterprise environments. In most cases, the systems can integrate easily with Practice Management Systems, Electronic Medical 5

Hurry up and grab the chance to avail yourself of Mitsubishi latest promo at Union Motors Caloocan offered for the Xpander and many other hot models.
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) is one of the manufacturing facilities outside of Japan located at Sta. Rosa, Laguna. MMPC's story goes back as far as February 1963 when it was first known as Chrysler Philippines Corporation.
After 15 years under the name, it was changed to Canlubang Automotive Resources in 1978. The entire company was owned by MMC and Nisho Iwai Corp which is now known as Sojitz Corporation. These two companies took over PAMCOR or Philippine Automotive Manufacturing Corporation.
PAMCOR makes sure that they are able to meet the market's consistent demand by investing in its manufacturing plant and facilities. With such eagerness, PAMCOR was the first to introduce a first-class Japanese automotive painting technology in the Philippines.
PAMCOR was recognized as one of Asia's top 5 leading companies for Product Quality and service. They are the only automotive manufacturing company to receive the award.
For 55 years, MMPC has partnered with the government to sustain the automotive industry. MMPC also acted as a responsible company by initiating environmental and social activities under its Corporate Social Responsibility program.
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation is the 2nd largest automotive company in the country
There are Mitsubishi models that are manufactured from the Sta. Rosa site. Some of which are Mitsubishi L300, Mitsubishi Mirage 4 and Mitsubishi Adventure. The success of the company has not only brought the top of the line vehicles, but it also provided hundreds of jobs to the Filipino people.
If you want to check out the Mitsubishi cars in the Philippines and Mitsubishi Philippines price list personally, you can visit any of their dealerships in the country.
Filipinos are always looking for ways to save money, and Mitsubishi can meet that need. That is the reason why Mitsubishi maintained a strong following in the country despite the recent scandals that were thrown at them. They surely have a lot of car models to choose from, and it might be quite a challenge to pick one. Let's see the below list of flagship models in its lineup.
If you are looking for Mitsubishi cars for sale in the Philippines, let's refer to the list below where we list 3 of its hottest models in the local market:
The all-new Mitsubishi Xpander 2018 was first introduced back in 2016 at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show. Following the initial launch was the official release in August 2017.
As the name implies, the Xpander was born with a mission of further expanding Mitsubishi's market with its expanded levels of comfort, convenience and performance. Looking at it, you will see that the Mitsubishi Xpander carries the look of an SUV despite the fact that it can carry up to 7 passengers including the driver. It also looks sportier than it used to due to the noticeable tweaks on its exterior.
The Mitsubishi Xpander was officially launched in the Philippines in August 2017
Conquering 6 generations, the Mitsubishi Mirage was able to prove that it is one of the best in the B-segment. It might look small but it is truly packed with functionality. On its front end, the Mirage gives a sporty and modern vibe thanks to its lower front bumper, bloated bonnet and its diamond-shaped grille.
Stepping inside, the Mitsubishi Mirage will definitely attract you with its fabric seats and ergonomic design. Also, despite being small, this hatchback can provide you with an ample cabin space perfect for your daily drive and don't forget that the trunk is equipped with lamp and tonneau cover.

Known to Filipinos as the "Today's Family Wagon" in the 90's, the Mitsubishi Adventure has been famous for its simple design yet countless functions. However, the Japanese automaker still decides to discontinue the production of this iconic AUV because the car's engine is only compliant with Euro 2 emission standard while having this upgraded to Euro 4 will cost Mitsubishi too much investment in terms of both money and effort.
Though we will no longer be able to own a brand new unit, there are still hundreds, if not thousands of pre-owned Mitsubishi Adventure available in the Philippines for you to consider.
The current Mitsubishi Adventure is sexier and fluid yet is still able to preserve the amazing qualities of its predecessors
If you are interested in learning more about other Mitsubishi models, you can find helpful information here in our Mitsubishi review section.
Mitsubishi Motors is a part of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries which is located at Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It is the 16th biggest car manufacturer worldwide. Since 2016, Mitsubishi is partly owned by Nissan (34%), making them a part of the Renault- Nissan- Mitsubishi Alliance.
It was established in 1917 during the time when Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Released the Mitsubishi Model A, their first automobile. Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Merged with Mitsubishi Aircraft Co. and was known as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. MHI was known to build aircraft, railroad cars, machinery and ships. In 1937, the company was able to develop their prototype sedan for military use, PX33.
After the World War II ended, MHI began manufacturing vehicles again starting off with Fuso bus, Mizushima and Silver Pigeon. However, in 1950, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was divided into three regional companies – West Japan Heavy-Industries, Central Japan Heavy-Industries and East Japan-Heavy Industries, with each region focusing on motor vehicle development.
Mitsubishi Model A is a hand-built seven-seater sedan
Central Japan Heavy-Industries or currently known as Shin Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, introduced Mitsubishi 500 in 1953. It was followed by Minica kei car and Colt 1000 in 1962 and 1963 respectively. Mitsubishi Debonair was the 1st luxury car released by the company in 1964 and was commonly used by top company executives as their company car.
The three companies rejoined as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1964 and were later renamed as Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in 1970.
In 1970, Mitsubishi decided to forge alliances with well-known foreign companies thus MHI sold Chrysler a 15% share in the new company. Chrysler then started to sell Galant as the Dodge Colt in the US. This increased the annual production of the car by 250,000. Chrysler sold its Australian manufacturing division to MMC in 1980.
The Mitsubishi brand was introduced to the American market in 1982. MMC initiated their first advertising campaign towards the end of 1980's to further increase their dealership network from 70 to 340. Accordingly, the number of Mitsubishi dealerships in the Philippines also considerably increased. At the moment, this number stays at 55 dealerships in the country.

Released only 21 months ago, A Region at Risk, the Regional Plan Association's ambitious blueprint for the tri-state area's future, might appear dead in the water. News coverage has been scant, and insiders will tell you the paths to the RPA's success in the past are no longer open. But the veteran white-shoe group, more accustomed to whispering in the ears of the powerful than working the streets for support, isn't done yet. They are looking for new allies among the more than 50,000 nonprofit and community groups throughout the region.
"We're doing more work among grass-roots groups because we've changed, the region has changed and the city polity has changed," says RPA Executive Director Robert Yaro. "Now we need to create coalitions of civic groups that can promote actions around the recommendations of the plan. The RPA is not in the Lone Ranger business anymore."
Founded in 1923 as the Committee on the Regional Plan, the RPA issued two previous Olympian plans–in 1929 and 1968–which heavily emphasized land use and transportation reforms. Supporters say these plans helped maintain the region as a center of national economic activity; critics argue they laid the groundwork for a commercial and residential development bonanza that helped drive many New York manufacturers out of business or out of town.
In the past, the RPA's influence came largely from civic-minded titans like the brothers Rockefeller, various Morgan bankers and the munificent Russell Sage Foundation. "It wasn't a strict mechanism," says Fred Siegel, the Cooper Union historian and left-wing apostate turned Giuliani advisor. "There was a kind of association, a familiarity. These people had an honored place at the table."
That's not to say there is no corporate support these days: The RPA has a $1.7 million annual budget, and the 60-member board boasts directors from GE Capital, Chase Manhattan Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Deloitte and Touche. Dozens of corporations donated money for "A Region at Risk"–30 of them gave more than $100,000. But the times have assuredly changed. With the decline in the number of Fortune 500 giants headquartered here and the Wall Street-induced mania for downsizing, global expansion and rapid-fire turnover at the top comes a waning of corporate noblesse oblige, and the RPA has to hunt for new friends.
Times have changed politically, as well. Siegel argues that city planning simply doesn't hold sway among the powerful the way it once did. "You certainly don't have any major politicians involved with transportation issues," he laments. But Al Appleton, a senior fellow at RPA who served as commissioner of environmental protection under Mayor David Dinkins, notes that the change in lunch partners can also be attributed to the rise of the grassroots.
"Twenty-five years ago, you didn't have the community group structure as now. If you're going to get things built, you have to realize there's a lot of stake-holders," he says. "The local groups are there because the public felt a need for them–they didn't like what they got with the old system."
A Region at Risk, co-authored by Yaro and essayist Tony Hiss, aims to deal with the needs of this 20-million person, 31-county region well into the next century. Its recommendations are centered around five campaigns–to protect the greensward and watersheds surrounding the city, create a rational passenger and freight transportation system, assist still-struggling urban centers such as Jamaica and Newark, provide a superior education for the area's workforce, and fashion new structures for regional governance. Taken together, they are meant to create a more sustainable future for the region, economically, environmentally and socially.
The Regional Plan Association's new era was on display last summer, when Jo Anne Simon, chair of the Gowanus Expressway Community Coalition, shared the lectern with Appleton at a City Hall press conference to unveil plans for a proposed four-mile, $2.4 billion tunnel to replace Brooklyn's decomposing Gowanus Expressway. The 23 groups in the community coalition give the RPA's proposal a constituency few of its projects have ever had. They are all from neighborhoods abutting or close to the crippled expressway, and they're fighting hard to block the state Department of Transportation's plan to reconstruct the elevated highway.
"The RPA learned that if they didn't access local ideas they would go astray. They learned things they wouldn't have known, like where traffic bottlenecks would likely be," says Simon, a disability attorney and president of the Boerum Hill Association. She says the RPA has incorporated the coalition's suggestions into their design.
"Our proposals are made much stronger by going back and forth to the community with the plan," Appleton says. "We're trying to be an asset to the community groups leading the charge."
The Gowanus project is not an aberration. Since the third plan was released, the RPA has led the Governor's Island Group–a civic coalition to evaluate public uses for the property after its federal disposition–and joined other groups working to redevelop abandoned industrial sites in the area. The RPA has also signed on to the 250-member Greensward Council's forest and water initiatives, and helped establish a multipartnered lobbying effort to reauthorize the federal transportation legislation known as ISTEA. Efforts on education and the workforce are in the works.
"[The RPA's plan can bring community leaders, civic actors, environmentalists, environmental justice advocates and civil rights organizations into a dialogue," says longtime housing and community activist Ron Shiffman, director of the Pratt Institute Center for Community and Environmental Development. Those who follow nonprofit politics around the city might be surprised to see Shiffman supporting the RPA, but it shows how different things are these days.
The unlikely pairing isn't lost on Yaro, who recalls a demonstration outside an RPA event in 1976: "There was Ron Shiffman in what for all I know was a tie-dyed T-shirt picketing and demonstrating against the plutocrats of RPA. Now here's Ron working with us. And part of that's Ron, part of that's the world, and part of that's us, because RPA is a different place. And it's made us a better organization and a much more effective organization."
Shiffman remembers it differently. He says the RPA was honoring planning fixture Roger Starr shortly after the soon-to-be ex-city housing commissioner floated his notorious 'planned shrinkage' policy, which espoused pulling city services out of poor neighborhoods to encourage residents to leave. "We were planners and had reasons that were substantive to be there. In the same circumstances I would do it again," Shiffman says. He remembers wearing a jacket, tie and likely a blue chambray shirt, appropriate gear for a properly outraged city planner.
Shiffman describes his current work with RPA as "an effort to promote citizen, community and business participation in reviewing, enhancing and developing" the plan's suggestions. To get the private sector into local affairs again, he wants to promote a "civic pledge," where businesses "provide executives and financial support to boards of community and civic groups and establish 'mentoring relationships' with these groups and with emerg-ing community leaders."
Shiffman insists participants need not agree with everything the plan advocates, which is probably a good thing. "This is about getting people together to comment on it," he says, adding that he hopes such gatherings "build new collaborative relationships among community, business, environmental and other activist groups." In other words, they don't even have to like each other, but, courtesy of the once remote and removed RPA, they may be able to work together.
