US Shooting: 65-Year-Old Gurdwara Head Saved Several Lives Before Being Killed
The 65-year-old head of the small US town Gurdwara turned out an unlikely hero of the Wisconsin shooting incident as he confronted the 'neoNazi' gunman with his kirpan to save dozens of women, children and other worshippers from being shot down. Sadwant Singh Kaleka's, the head of the Wisconsin Gurdwara, unequal battle may not have lasted long as the 40-year-old former US Army 'psy-ops' veteran Wade Michael Page killed him mercilessly with his 9mm handgun. But his heroism slowed down the racist killer, providing vital moments for women and children to flee the attacker and bolt themselves in rooms round the complex, US media reports said. The women and children who were preparing meals for the congregation were in direct line of attack of the gunman, but Kaleka's brave effort to stab Page to slow him down has won widespread acclaim and praise in Wisconsin. "He turned into an unlikely hero to save the place which he had devoted to build," said Amardeep Kaleka, his son. "Whatever time he spent in that struggle gave the women time to get cover," he said. Relatives said Kaleka was widely regarded as the founder of the Oak Creek temple that was attacked by Page, a disgraced former US army soldier and racist, who is widely thought to mistaken bearded and turban-wearing Sikhs for Muslims. As Kaleka confronted the gunman, Page had already shot at least one person in the temple's car park. He then went

A deal signed between the Fiji National University (FNU) and a university in Indonesia has opened a door of opportunity for staff and student exchange programmes. A three-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreement was signed at the FNU Nasinu campus. It was witnessed by FNU vicechancellor, Dr Ganesh Chand and Indonesian Ambassador to Fiji, Aidil Chandra Salim. The MOU recites the establishment of FNUs scholar exchange programme with Pasundan University is aimed at promoting developmental co-operation between the two institutions. In signing the deal, Dr Chand said that the MOU solidified the intention of both universities to be involved in joint research, joint conference hosting and exchange of publications, reports and other academic information.
Five Convicted For Sex-Crimes

The High Court in Suva convicted and sentenced three men and two women for sexually-related offences this week. Jack Prasad, his wife Ana Repeka, Krishneel Sharma, Sada Nand Singh and his wife Premila Devi all of Nausori were found guilty by Judge Justice Salesi Temo. All five were convicted for wrongful confinement while Sharma was found guilty of rape and Prasad was found guilty of indecent assault. Justice Temo said the fact of the case was disturbing and a case of five adults bullying a married woman. You all made up a story that the complainant was having an affair with one of the accused, Singh. As the complainant said, this was nothing but an utter lie and the assessors and the court accepted the complainants evidence. All of you participated in a deceptive scheme to entrap the complainant, unlawfully confined her and subjected her to further abuses, Justice Temo said. Prasad and his wife had pretended to take the complainant home after work on August 16, 2010, but took her to the Nasese sea wall. Upon the arrival of others, they then jointly abused her. Sharma was jailed for eight years with a non-parole period of six years. Prasad was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment of which he is to serve six months in jail, while the remainder has been suspended for three years. He is eligible for parole after three months. Prasads wife Ana Repeka, Singh and his wife were sentenced for six months, suspended for three years. Singh and his wife Devi are to pay the complainant $1000 each for being the masterminds behind the plan.
Fiji, Indonesia University Sign Deal
The development supports the objectives of FNUs strategic plan for 2012-2014 in seeking out partnerships and strategic alliances with institutions in the region and internationally. He said that this would create an atmosphere of learning to inspire research and knowledge creation, eventually promoting development. Dr Chand said that the programme would also involve linkages on cultural studies and gender studies, which had possibilities for nation building. Mr Salim said that FNU had started work with the academic arm of agriculture in Asia, the Southeast Asian Regional Centre for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture. The FNU will hold the first joint venture conference on agriculture with Pasundan University and the Ministry of Agriculture within the next 18 months.
Fake Notes
The Fiji Police Force has discovered more fake notes circulating in the Western Division. They have called on the members of the public to be careful while handling cash transactions. Police spokesperson, Ana Naisoro, said that so far 42 cases of counterfeit notes have been dealt with by Police. Of this, 33 were recorded in the Western Division. Ms Naisoro said another trend noted was that the discovered denominations included $20, $10 and $5 notes. The Fiji Police Force has advised members of the public and business community to be vigilant when handling money especially during busy shopping periods and to report any
suspicious activity. In a recent case, a $20 and $5 fake note were each found in separate locations in Ba. The fake $20, serial number DB680295, was discovered in Koronubu, Ba, by a bank officer at the Bank of Baroda. The officer claimed that the note was deposited by a blind man. In another case, a fake $20 note, serial number DB271042, was found at the BSP Bank, Ba Branch. The said note was deposited by a farmer from Navatu, Ba. Another fake $5 note, serial number AG650111, was found by a bank officer at the ANZ Bank, Ba. Investigations into these discoveries were continuing.
No Fijian should think that they do not have anything of value to contribute to the Constitution Commission. Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama made the statement while commencing the National Stadium project in Suva. Commodore Bainimarama urged all, particularly youths, to take the time and effort to make their submissions. "It is an investment in your future, the future of Fiji," Commodore Bainimarama said. He urged everyone to make their voices heard. He said many people were aware that the government was in the midst of both the electronic voter registration (EVR) and the constitutional consultations. "It is critical that you participate in both to make your individual voice heard as we work to establish the foundation for the future of Fiji," Commodore Bainimarama urged. He said the consultations were not intended solely for the elite groups who had traditionally held power in
Be Heard!
this country. He said the commission sought to hear all Fijians, through unique, individual experiences; each and every person had gained knowledge and insight that was important for the commission to hear. "I understand that it is easy to say not today, maybe tomorrow. Or that it is easy to think someone else will represent my views for me," he said. However, he urged people to make their submissions and not turn their backs on the important reform processes that were currently underway. Commodore Bainimarama says the consultation process is guided by universally recognised principles and values which are non-negotiable, and includes: a common and equal citizenry; a secular state; the removal of systemic corruption; an independent judiciary; elimination of discrimination; good and transparent governance; social justice; one person, one vote, one value; the elimination of ethnic voting; proportional representation; and a voting age of 18.

Strict immigration requirements in New Zealand are driving more Pacific Islanders to fall victim to visa scams, a Wellington-based immigration lawyer says. It is estimated around 7,000 Samoan and Tongan nationals are staying in New Zealand on expired visas. Recently that group has been targeted in a scam run by a Tongan expatriate. Pacific Legal director Richard Small says there is a simple reason why so many are falling victim to deals that appear too good to be true. "Desperation - these guys have tried the front door time and time again, and what we've seen over a number of years - which has accelerated in recent

years - is that the front door is being locked," he told the media. Mr Small said the New Zealand Government's new immigration policy, which required Pacific Islanders have a salary of $NZ65,000, was unachievable for the majority of applicants. "That's fantasy land stuff for most Tongan families," he said. Melino Maka, chairman of the New Zealand Tongan Advisory Council, has been critical of the current policy. He accused the Department of Business, Innovation and Employment of putting Tongan visa scam cases in a "vacuum". "Authorities in New Zealand don't want to deal with it," he said.

THE Health Ministry closed down a prominent restaurant in Labasa for noncompliance with the Food Safety Act 2003 and Food Safety Regulation 2009. Divisional health inspector northern Rakesh Kumar confirmed the closure, saying the restaurant and other eateries in town were given seven days to comply with the Act after they were inspected last week. Mr Kumar said the supermarket restaurant in question had failed to adhere to the rules even after the notice was issued and the owners left us with no choice but to close it down. "This exercise should be a lesson to the other restaurants in town because we are more focused on public health than the business. "We are warning such businesses to comply with the Act because we won't condone unhygienic practices and poor sanitation in these facilities." Mr Kumar said they would only reopen the restaurant if the owners followed

People Love To Cook On Primus - Punja
Blue Gas chief executive Ajay Punja speaks to the media as Fiji Commerce Commission chairman Dr Mahendra Reddy looks on during a press conference at the Fiji Commerce Commission office at Garden City in Raiwai, Suva DOMESTIC gas consumption wasnt expected to increase when the price of gas was reduced, Blue Gas Limited director Ajay Punja said. "People in Tamavua still have outdoor cooking facilities which they use. It's a culture. People love to cook on the primus," he said following the decision and announcement by the Commerce Commission to reduce gas prices. He said the market could expect a slight increase in use but this would not include the domestic market even though gas is a price controlled item. The wholesale price of bulk gas for industrial use dropped by $1.10 to $3.03, the commission said amid other changes to the prices of cooking gas and auto gas. "We need a fair return on our investment. We had plans for expansion but now we have to put that on hold to see how this price structure works. "We've been price monitored, but not price controlled. As an investor, no investor likes to have their returned investment controlled," Mr Punja said. Blue Gas imports from Australia where domestic users pay 50 per cent more than what is being offered to the Fiji domestic market, Mr Punja said. He said the world market price increased by $US155 or $F277 per tonne from the previous price of $US620 or $F1110 per tonne. The price ceiling set by the commission will be reviewed on a quarterly basis to reflect global prices, commission chairman Doctor Mahendra Reddy said. The commission made its determination on gas prices for wholesale and retail of all forms of Liquid Petroleum Gas sold in Fiji after its independent research, analysis and computation emanating from complaints and public outcry over the ever rising price of gas. Dr Reddy said the commission had a good working relationship with Blue Gas adding that it was a local company with better understanding of the socio economic aspiration of the Fijian people.
There have been mixed reactions from the business community in the North regarding the closure of Labasa Airport from August 31 to September 13. According to Labasa Chamber of Commerce vice president Satish Kumar the business houses in Labasa are grateful that the Labasa Airport would be closed for maintenance. We support the closure because it is for the good of the airport given the deteriorating condition of the airport as provided for by the chairman of Airports Fiji Limited (AFL). Something has to be done now to avoid repercussions in future, Mr Kumar said. He has however confirmed that businesses would also be affected here in Labasa, since business owners would now have to incur additional
Airports Closure Necessary: Chamber
cost with flights now only coming in through Savusavu Airport. There is only one airport in Labasa so we really cant do much about it. This is not only going to affect business houses alone but also the people of Labasa. Meanwhile, Airports Fiji Limited general manager Airports Lawrence Liew had earlier stated they have decided on maintenance given the fast deterioration of the runway and that work had to be completed before the rainy season. AFL had also decided to act now to prevent disruptions on a major scale in future. Mr Liew has therefore urged the public, business people, hoteliers, and visitors to make alternative plans early in order to minimize disappointments.

RB Patel Records $5.1M Profit

THE RB Patel Group (RBG) recorded a profit of $5.1 million for the financial year ending, June 30, 2012. The company's financials released to the South Pacific Stock Exchange revealed that this was an increase of over $200,000 when compared to the 2011 financial year. In the last financial year, the company recorded a profit of $4.8m. Total revenue earned by the group in the 2012 financial year was $93.6m while the cost of sales was $76.6m. For the 2011 financial year, the revenue was $92.9m with cost of sales being $75.3m. Other income in 2012 totaled $1.89m. According to the report, dividends paid out would be 14 cents. Management fees for the year were $2.6m and paid out to FHL Retailing Ltd, which had retained the RB Patel family members as consultants on the operations of the supermarket chain. During the year, the company suffered a $362,045 loss because of the western floods in March. "As the areas in the western division of Viti Levu are regularly prone to flooding, insurance companies generally do not extend full flood cover. "The company has a limited insurance coverage and accordingly has recognized insurance claim receivable," the report said. The other significant event for the company was the completion of the HarbourPoint Complex in Lami. It began operations in March and was built at a cost of $4.38m with funding from ANZ. The company also sold its property in Waimanu Rd in Suva and is now leasing it from the buyer. For the future, the company is evaluating the development of a cinema multiplex at its JetPoint Complex in Nadi. A feasibility study had been undertaken and negotiations are currently in progress on the operation and management of the cinemas.

'Fruit' Export Plans

A FOUR-year pilot project called "Developing commercial breadfruit production systems for the Pacific Islands" in progress in Fiji is testing the viability of growing breadfruit as a commercial crop. "The aim is to assist farmers to treat breadfruit as an agricultural commodity for export, not just as a backyard crop that grows everywhere," said Valerie Saena Tuia, officer in charge of Genetic Resources at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) Centre for Pacific Crops and Trees (CePaCT). Ms Tuia said the project aimed to enhance livelihoods through the development of an effective and sustainable breadfruit supply chain at the commercial level. The project will initially focus on Fiji; its first stage will address the three major constraints to commercial production by working to establish viable small-holder orchard production systems, ensure the ready availability of market preferred planting material that allows for year-round production, and implement best practice postharvest handling for fresh exports. The second stage will deal with commercial processing of the breadfruit. The role of CePaCT in the project is to develop a rapid multiplication system for breadfruit in tissue culture using a bioreactor system reported to work well with commercial propagation of breadfruit and other crops to supply planting material to farmers. A bioreactor system is a temporary immersed tilting rocker apparatus initially developed for biotechnological production of substances such as antibodies and pharmaceutical that has been adapted for use in plant propagation systems provided with the necessary nutrients to boost plant growth. An SPC statement said the system improved plant material quality and growth through better aeration of the roots, better survival of plants in the screen house and better establishment in the field as compared to plants produced through the normal semi-solid tissue culture system using glass tubes or bottles.
AN evening walk to the shop turned disastrous for two sisters after they jumped off a moving van at Dreketi in Macuata. The sisters aged 19 and 20 of Naivimoli settlement are in serious condition in Labasa Hospital's Intensive Care Unit. Police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro confirmed the incident, saying the police had taken the driver in. "He is in police custody and the investigation is continuing. We are also trying to find out why the girls jumped out of the vehicle," Ms Naisoro said. Relative Kavaia Naqerevaya said he was at the Dreketi Shopping Centre area when the girls arrived. "I spoke to them and asked them where they were going. They said they were at the shop to buy some bowls and would be walking back to Naivimoli settlement after that," Mr Naqerevaya said. The girls' shocked father, Ilisoni Satugaloa, said he could not believe what his daughters went through. He said a minibus driver from their settlement spotted the girls lying in a drain and took them to hospital.

COMPLAINTS against commercial banks and insurance companies topped the list of grievances against regulated financial institutions last year, the Reserve Bank of Fiji. In its 2011 annual report, the bank said it received 74 complaints last year. Complaints relating to commercial banks were linked to lending contracts while complaints against insurance companies related mainly to disagreements on insurance claims particularly in life and motor vehicle insurance, the bank said. "Thereweremarginalincreasesincomplaints against capital market participants, the Fiji National Provident Fund and non-bank financial institutions," the report said. The bank held 44 meetings with consumers to address the complaints and consulted with relevant financial institutions and other organisations, it said.

Aubrey Swift Appointed As Air Pacific's Head Of Commercial Operations
Fijis Prime Minister, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama announced that public servants, as Fijian citizens, should also have a say and participate in formulation of Fijis new Constitution to take our country to General Elections in 2014. This has never happened before neither for the 1990 nor the 1997 Constitutional Review processes, a government statement said. He said that public servants comprise nearly 4 per cent of Fijis population and as such their views as Fijian citizens must be heard. I would like to request all public servants to participate in the consultation process. Such participation and submissions however will have to be in your personal capacities and that no resources of the State should be utilized in this process. Public Servants are free to air their views in front of the Constitutional Commission in their private capacity and not officially as public servants. This is in line with established procedures under the General Orders as well as the Public Service Act of
Public Servants Can Participate: PM
1999 which inter-alia articulates the Public Service Code of Conduct. Additionally, groups of Public Servants and/or Institutions such as Permanent Secretaries, Ministry of Finance, Public Service Commission, Office of the Auditor General, Judicial Department, Fiji Police Force, Fiji Prisons and Corrections Services, Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption, Office of Solicitor General, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions etc. are permitted to make official submissions to better explain their roles and responsibilities. Bainimarama said that this is a one time opportunity for every Fijian to contribute to the process currently underway to get the governance of Fiji set on a sustainable path.
Fijis national airline, Air Pacific has announced the appointment of Aubrey Swift as its Chief Commercial Officer. Swift is an experienced airline executive with over 20 years in the industry in commercial roles at British Airways, Virgin Blue and V Australia - where he helped design, launch and grow the carrier. He has worked across low cost and full service airline business models, selling direct and through all segments of the travel trade. Recently he has been consulting for airlines and airports, working on a variety of network planning strategy projects. Swift will be responsible for marketing, planning, revenue management, freight, global sales and all other commercial activities of the airline. He is taking over the role from Interim Chief Commercial Officer Subodh Karnik, who has been looking after Air Pacifics commercial operations while the airline worked on recruiting someone of Swifts caliber.
Karnik will continue to assist the airline with several pending and new corporate initiatives. Aubrey brings with him a strong understanding of the South Pacific as well as an innovation and a start-up mindset that will help us build on our existing strengths, re-launch us as Fiji Airways next year, and move into our next stage of commercial evolution as we focus on more airline partnerships, more efficient distribution strategies, growing our fleet, and ultimately new destinations, Air Pacifics Managing Director & CEO Dave Pflieger said in a release. We welcome Aubrey and his family to Air Pacific and thank Subodh for his incredible assistance during this time. Air Pacific recently announced plans to revert to its former 1951 name, Fiji Airways, and rebrand the airline to coincide with the delivery of brandnew A330-200 aircraft that start arriving in 2013.

South - South Project Meeting To Benefit Fiji

Training and Third Country Experts. In Fiji, the PSC will setup the mechanism for implementation of the South-South Cooperation supported by JICA and will be carried out initially in Kiribati, Tuvalu and later roll out to other Pacific Island countries in the future, Mr Yoshiara said. Public Service Commission permanent secretary Mr Parmesh Chand said that it is the right time for Fiji to join the South to South cooperation in line with global trends. Countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines have reaped the benefits of numerous South-South cooperation programs, simply because they have a definite framework in place and their work is well coordinated, Mr Chand said. He added that the project is in line with Governments drive towards building a better Fiji. This should enhance the evolution of Fiji towards beneficial technologies, services and trading relationships. Mr Chand expressed his optimism towards the project saying that it also has the potential to allow Fiji to achieve its Millennium Development Goals and the Pacific Plan for Oceania. The actual project should start by February 13th, 2013 after the documentations process is complete.
Fijis first meeting on the South-South Cooperation Project kicked off at the JICA office in Suva chaired by the Public Service Commission permanent secretary Mr Pramesh Chand and attended by the Japanese International Corporation Agency (JICA) resident representative Mr Shumon Yoshiara and Permanent Secretaries from various government ministries.

Former Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, who is serving a one-year jail term for fraud has appeared in the High Court to answer charges of abuse of office and fraudulent conversion. He is charged with former iTaukei Land Trust Board general manager Kalivati Bakani and former chairman of Vanua Development Corporation Limited chairman Keni Dakuidreketi. The three deny the charges and appeared before Justice Priyantha Fernando, who ruled that all parties meet on November 14 for a pre-trial conference and have all the agreed facts and documents ready. However, Justice Fernando who imposed the jail term on Qarase last week will not hear the case. The case relates to the alleged transfer of extinct mataqali funds and the awarding of the MYSAP Information Technology contract to Pacific Connex Limited allegedly without adhering to proper procedures.

The Warwick Fiji Resort & Spa plays host to a range of weddings whose sizes range anywhere from two to 250 guests at maximum. Couples come from all corners of the globe and this includes countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and even Hong Kong. Amongst the various exotic ways in which one could get married at the Warwick, the Resorts signature bilibili bridal entrance however was the most favoured means of getting to the altar. Such a setting would see the bride being escorted across the
calm lagoon on a topically decorated bamboo raft known as the bilibili. Recently married at the Warwick was a couple all the way from Hong Kong; Kam Lu Tin whos a sales personnel and flight attendant with Cathay Pacific Airways and Naomi Lai On Yu. Why they chose Warwick??? After we dated for few months, we already felt that we met our Mr & Mrs Right and we wanted to start our next stage in our life together. The first time I (Naomi) saw the picture of the beach in Warwick Fiji website it really impressed me and with the picture of the bride on the bilibili raft, I knew, Warwick was the best place for my wedding, Naomi said.

Mr Chandra and Mrs Kedrayate replace Wing Kangwai and Jack Valentine. Aminiasi Katonivualiku will remain as PSDT chairman.

Repeat Offender Escapes Deportation After String Of Crimes

A Fijian man who has been living in Australia since he was a child has escaped deportation after a string of crimes, including thefts from some of Sydney's most exclusive suburbs. The 32-year-old, who never became an Australian citizen, had been in immigration detention since the end of his latest prison term last October. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been sentenced for six offences in 2002 and 2003, including the thefts of two MercedesBenz cars in Mosman and break-ins in Vaucluse in which he stole computers and cash, as well as his involvement in an armed robbery and carjacking in Leichhardt. Since he became an adult, he has been sentenced for separate crimes on eight earlier occasions, but had never been convicted for an act of violence, the courts heard. But last week he won his appeal against deportation in a Federal Court decision weighing up conflicting considerations. The court heard the man had been in Australia for more than 23 years, but had spent about 11 of them in prison. However, he had already lived in the country for five years (from age eight to 13) before he started committing crimes. "Having seen him in the witness box and considered his record, I am satisfied that he has made some substantial efforts to improve himself and to obtain training," an earlier decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal said. The Federal Court last week rejected an attempt by the Minister for Immigration to overturn this decision. The man had spent his formative years in Australia and had few ties to his native Fiji, though he spoke some Fijian, the court heard. He had only a moderate risk of reoffending, had undertaken training in prison and successfully completed drug and alcohol programs. He had a mild intellectual disability but would not be entitled to receive home care support but had an offer to live with his sister in regional NSW. "His conduct appears to have arisen largely because of problems with alcohol and drugs and the peer group with whom he was associated many years ago," the tribunal said in its ruling. Another court heard he had left school at the age of 14 after being bullied and teased. He had lost a close relative in a car accident, which triggered drug and alcohol problems. In the past, decisions to deport criminals who have lived most of their lives in Australia and had no ties to their country of origin have been criticised by human rights advocates. Last year, Australia deported Britishborn Clifford Tucker, who had lived in Australia for more than 40 years. Robert Jovicic, had been deported to Serbia in 2004, where he lived on the streets outside the Australian embassy until the government relented and granted him a visa in 2008. Another convicted criminal who had lived in Australia since he was a month old was deported to Sweden.

Labasa Vice Principal Jailed For 7 Months

A 32-year-old vice principal who threw an electric iron and hit his wife with a drawer will serve seven months in jail after his appeal against his sentence and conviction was denied by the High Court in Labasa. The court heard that on July 2012, the man had been drinking at his neighbors house and after sometime came home to ask for money from his wife. His wife then told him that she had used the money to buy food and other stuff for the family but the man got angry, grabbed the electric iron and threw it at her which landed on her head and later pulled out one of their drawers and hit it on her head. In his appeal against his conviction the man said the Magistrate should not have ordered a conviction to be entered as he is a first offender, he is the vice principal of a secondary school and is at the risk of losing his job and it is a suitable case for not recording a conviction. However Justice Paul Madigan said the fact that he holds a career position as a vice principal is of no moment and the court treats perpetrators alike be they poor or rich, of high or lowly status and therefore dismissed his appeal. In his appeal against his sentence the court heard the sentence is harsh, excessive, the Magistrate in assessing seriousness of the offence picked the wrong starting point and Magistrate erred in identifying and given improper weight to the aggravating factors The court then heard the starting point of ten months would be appropriate as this reflects the breach of trust, the assault with little or no provocation and the need for severity in domestic violence situations and therefore the appeal was dismissed.

Fiji's First Solar Charging Station Minister Kubuabola & Pacific Foreign
Ministers Calls On Singapore PM
Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola together with Foreign Ministers from eleven Pacific Islands States called on the Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Prime Ministers Office in Singapore. The foreign ministers from the Pacific Island states are in Singapore participating in the Singapore-Pacific Ministerial Study Visit from the 6th to the 10th of August, at the invitation of Singapores foreign minister and minister for law Mr K Shanmugam. The Ministerial Study Visit was opened by Minister Shanmugam at a welcome ceremony this week at Singapores Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministers later paid a joint call on Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, during which they discussed Singapores relations with the Pacific Islands States and developments in the South Pacific region. Minister Shanmugam hosted the Ministers to dinner. Over the next few days, the Ministers and delegates will be briefed by various Ministries and government agencies on Singapores development experience in areas such as public administration, education, health, transport and water management. This is the first such study visit that Singapore has organised for Ministers from the Pacific Islands States. Meanwhile Fiji and Singapore are continuing their discussions on areas of cooperation that includes training and climate change. Singapore has indicated its willingness to assist and the Foreign Ministries of both countries are now discussing specifics of the assistance. Technical assistance from Singapore usually comes under the Singapore Cooperation Programme (TCP) and Third Country Training Programmes (TCTP) such as those offered under the Colombo Plan. Both Fiji and Singapore are members of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). AOSIS is an intergovernmental organisation comprising of low-lying coastal and small island countries whose main purpose is to consolidate the voices of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to address climate change. Both countries have cooperated closely on the work of AOSIS under the Framework Convention on Climate Change, particularly in the negotiations of a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol.
The University of the South Pacific (USP) unveiled Fiji and the Pacific region's first Solar Electric Vehicle Charging Station. The project which is funded under the Pacific Fund Programme of the Government of France is aimed to tackle climate change issues in Fiji and the region. Speaking at the commissioning of the station, France ambassador to Fiji Gilles Montagnier said they will continue to support development projects impacting the whole South Pacific region. Climate change is for sure one of the main threats to this region, and will affect in the coming years and decades most of the Pacific Islands states and the territories, said Montagnier. He said by supporting such a project, they aim at developing and promoting alternative sources of energy which therefore contribute in mitigating the effects of climate change in the region. Renewable energies might also been considered from an economic perspective. He said the rising cost of fuel and its
impact on the Pacific Island Countries shows Fiji the need to promote alternative, sustainable, and affordable sources of energy to be beneficial for all. This project aims at replacing kerosene or benzene light with solar light and made them available to different communities in Fiji through the microcredit fund. USP vice chancellor Professor Rajesh Chandra said project will boost research for the students. Prof Chandra said sustainability is the main area in climate change adaptation. He said France is assisting USP in the most vital area which is the renewable energy and is urging the Government of France to continue to assist the institution on this area. Asco Motors, regional manager Arthur Breckterfield said the project arrived at the right time. Breckterfield said they exclusively have two solar charged cars which just arrived. He said Asco Motors now can get more solar charged cars in Fiji as the charger is readily available here in the country.
Radiation Emitting Equipment Used By Fiji Road Authority And Its Sub Contractors
The Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment had been requested earlier this year to carry out radiation monitoring on equipment imported for use by the Fiji Road Authority and its sub contractors. After the monitoring, the Ministry ascertained that the radiation being emitted by the equipment was within the specified limits of exposure. However, as a precautionary measure, the Ministry requested Air Terminal Services (Fiji) Ltd. to provide an isolated storage for the equipment while waiting for removal by the sub contractors of the Fiji Road Authority. In addition to this, the Ministry, in close collaboration with Radiation Health Board of the Ministry of Health, met with officials from the Fiji Road Authority to discuss the way forward. As a result of this meeting, the Fiji Road Authority agreed to provide radiation safety training to its workers and to comply with the licensing requirements of the Radiation Health Board. The radiation safety training has been completed in June and trained personnel include officers from the Fiji Road Authority and its sub-contractors. The training covered transportation, storage and handling of radiation emitting equipment. The Fiji Road Authority is currently liaising with the Radiation Health Board to fulfill all the requirements for the licensing of the trained personnel. The Ministry will continue to work closely with the Radiation Health Board to provide assistance with radiation monitoring as the need arises.

Information permanent secretary Sharon Smith-Johns says there is no police report on Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama or the Fijian Government. Ms Smith-Johns was responding to a recent report in the international media that Fiji Trades Union Congress leader Felix Anthony reported the Fijian Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama to the Fiji Police. These reports are inaccurate and mischievous with the aim of promoting personal agendas, Ms Smith-Johns said. Mr Anthony had filed a complaint against some members of the military and not against Prime Minister Bainimarama or the Fijian Government. Ms Smith-Johns said the allegations by Mr Anthony were reported following the Prime Ministers visit to the
No Police Report On PM Bainimarama
Rarawai Sugar Mill last year. This alleged case dates back to February, 2011, she said. And it begs the question, why has it taken Anthony 18 months to file a Police report? This is just another veiled attempt to take cheap shots at the RFMF. The delay in investigations is on the part of Mr Anthony because he has been deferring the submission of his statement. Until there are a full investigation into the matter these are simply allegations. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest this incident occurred and therefore, it should be left in the hands of the Fiji police to investigate. It is also, therefore, premature and absolutely mischievous for the media to report on the incident without getting the facts. I expect Radio New Zealand International to issue a correction.

SDL said office bearers who were elected in their 2008 annual general

Office bearers include patron Ro Teimumu Kepa, SDL President Solomone Naivalu and Vice President Ro Dona Tokalaiyale. SDL also said they will continue to provide relevant services to its members.
Critics and powerhouses have picked Miss Fiji Koini Vakaloloma to win the Miss World title ahead of pageant favourites Miss Philippines, Miss Nepal and Miss Israel. Miss World Fiji (MWF) national director Andhy Blake said words of encouragement continue to flood the Fiji camp from pageant observers and critics from powerhouses such as the Philippines, Puerto Rico and the USA. Blake said many are comparing her to a former Miss Philippines Venus Raj and current Miss World, Venezuelas Ivian Sarcos. He said whatever the outcome, Miss Fiji has surely done the country proud having promoted our unique bula spirit to all 117 contestants including the high profile team at Miss World. Speaking from China, Vakaloloma said she is very honored to be flying the Fiji
flag at Miss World and recommend this unique once in a life time experience to future contenders for her title and the Miss World Fiji crown. The warmth and friendliness from all the girls, the support from an amazing team at Miss World, the visits to the most amazing landscapes and places in Asia, the food, cultures and historic places will be some of the treasured memories I will carry for the rest of my life. Miss World Beach Beauty award will be presented live on August 18th during the live final where Miss Fiji is a semi finalist in this category. The Miss World Sports competition took place on Monday followed by the Miss World National Gift Auction, Private Interview and Judging before the crowing of the 63rd Miss World on August 18th.

Grand Old Lady Works On Progress

Structural work and renovations carried out on the Grand Pacific Hotel is progressing well with 50 percent of its ground work complete. Earlier this year, the Fiji National Provident Fund announced a new partnership with the Lamana Group of Papua New Guinea and the National Superannuation Fund of PNG to begin renovation works on the iconic South Pacific hotel. This operation includes the structural construction of three new developments within the hotel vicinity. The additional amenities will feature conference rooms, retail outlets, spas and a ballroom which will cater for more than 600 guests. Papua New Guinea based Contractors Lamana Development Limited Building manager Rod Bradley said that despite current weather conditions, they are confident of carrying out their works within their timeframe. We have to work smart in ensuring operations are on schedule. The refurbishment of the grand old lady is another challenge; we have to maintain this structure including touch ups on the walls and polishing on the structural frames of the building, Mr Bradley said.

Ascor Motors Regional Parts and Service Manager South Seas, Richard Rahiman, said their eco-plan is aligned to the Bridgestone Environmental Mission to help a healthy environment for current and future generations. "One may ask why planting trees? the world manufactures over one billion tires annually and the major raw material used is natural rubber which comes from a single species of tree called Heveabrasiliensis, the rubber tree, said Rahiman. He said since so many trees are cut to extract the rubber, replenishing these trees to sustain the environment is a priority.
The Pacific Islands AIDS Foundation (PIAF) has renewed calls for the speeding up of legislation in Fiji and the region that will protect the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS. PIAF has been advocating for all Pacific Island countries to have local legislation on the prevention of HIV as it has been proven to be most effective. The call follows the reversal of a decision by a high school in Pennsylvania, USA to open its doors to a previously rejected HIV positive teenager. This is a classic example after 30 years of calls that the virus (HIV) cannot be transmitted by the presence of a person living with HIV in a school setting there are still unnecessary fear causing these bad decisions, said PIAFs legal trainer Laitia Tamata. Only Fiji, PNG and Ponhpei, a state in the Federated States of Micronesia have bills protecting PLHIV. Tamata said the pseudonym, Abraham Smith, used for the protection of the privacy of the teenager was also included in the national HIV Decree. Under the decree on Privacy of Proceedings; Section 34.1.iii says that the publication of a report of the whole or any part of the proceedings be prohibited or a pseudonym used in place of the name of any person in any such report, said Tamata. He said when there is no equality, fairness and dignity for individuals whether HIV positive or otherwise, it is the legislation where people will be protected from further abuse.

Technical Assistance For Fisheries

projects for 22 years since its inception in 1990. The Fisheries Development Assistance for Pacific Islands Nations is implementing technical transfer and capacity building through repair and restoration of fishery related facilities in the region, Mr Fukuda said. The MOU signing will have four projects for 2012 which have already begun. The fisheries technical expert Tetsuro Sakonju said OFCF would repair and restore the ice making facility at Rabi Island, repair and restore the ice making facility in Sigatoka because it was damaged in the floods, supply spare parts for ice making machines and advice on the management and maintenance of a refrigeration mobile truck. The Department for Fisheries and Forests permanent secretary Inoke Wainiqolo said the project would further strengthen relations between Fiji and Japan. This will also build capacity of our local counterparts through training and we look forward to future cooperation, Mr Wainiqolo said.
$22.2M Premiums Secured

INSURANCE brokers secured $22.2 million as premiums with overseas insurers last year, the Reserve Bank of Fiji said in its remarks of the satisfactory performance of the insurance industry. This, as the life insurance industry dominated the market share at 71.4 per cent, the bank said in its 2011 annual report. The report said insurance brokers placed 872 applications for overseas insurers. Released last week, the report said the combined industry assets reached its $1billion mark last year as life insurers' assets expanded by 14.6 per cent to $750.1million, largely owed to growing investments in term deposits and government securities. The net premium income for the industry was $191.1million, increasing by 8.5 per cent over, the report said. Net claims paid last year fell by 0.7 per cent to $107million made up mostly of life insurers at 58.7 per cent of the payout, the report said.
The Overseas Fishery Cooperation Foundation (OFCF) together with the Department of Fisheries have signed a memorandum of understanding for project implementation and technical assistance. The foundation is a non-profit organisation, which sources funds from the Japanese Government.
Resident representative for OFCF Fiji, Shimba Fukuda said the foundation specialised in technical cooperation such as small scale testing and development of coastal fisheries projects, exchange of experts and training local people. The foundation has a history of implementing fisheries development

India's Leader Calls For Fiji Trade Expansion
Fiji Stands At 77
INVESTMENT Fiji is looking at undertaking a host of new initiatives to make it easier to do business in Fiji. Fiji is at 77 on the World Bank Ease of Doing business index compared to its Pacific Island neighbours, Solomon Islands at 74, Vanuatu 76 and Tonga at 58. Investment Fiji Chairman Adrian Sofield said the initiatives included online payment for permits and streamlined staffing in his office. "We have allocated changes whereby investors coming into Fiji will be allocated one of our staff members on case based approach so that particular staff becomes the contact for the investor," Mr Sofield said. "That staff member will see through the approval agencies and advise him or her to achieve the end result which is to start business." He said attempts to have online payment for foreign investors had been a continuing four-year procedure. "We are still not there with online payment, board and management is not happy with it," Mr Sofield said. "We want people to come on the website to process their applications, pay their fees and move forward we are not there yet but I expect we will be there in the next month or so. "We've instituted an investment approval tracking system (IATS) that will enable online transactions that will facilitate faster and much easier registration and tracking of investment projects. That will be conducted to enable quicker processing of applications from our various government departments." Mr Sofield said another World Bank Survey on the time it took to start business rated Fiji at 45 days compared to Samoa where it took just nine days to start business. "I know in the last few months we have lost some business to Samoa so there are things we need to address," he added.
Newly elected India's President Pranab Mukherjee has called for an expansion of bilateral trade and investment between Fiji and India. He made the comments during a meeting with Fijis President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau during a stopover in Delhi on his way back to Fiji from the London Olympics. Nailatikau is the first foreign head of state to call on the newly-elected president. Mukherjee welcomed Fiji's move to join the Non-Aligned Movement and the support it provides for reforming the
United Nations Security Council as well as multilateral financial institutions, said a Rashtrapati Bhavan release. Mukherjee referred to the assistance provided by India to Pacific islandcountries in agriculture and healthcare sectors as well as in the sugar industry, and co-operation in the field of defence. Mukherjee also expressed happiness that India's development experience was being shared with Fiji through training slots for its nationals and scholarships for students. Nailatikau also extended an invitation to Mukherjee to visit Fiji.

New Judge Appointed For NLTB Case

Former Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, former Native Land Trust Board General Manager Kalivati Bakani and former Native Land Trust Board Director Keni Dakuidreketi appeared before the Suva High Court for a Pre Trial Conference where they were told another judge will preside over their case. The trio appeared before Justice Priyantha Fernando who informed them that he would be dealing with the pre trial issues until the trial judge is nominated. FICAC Manager Legal Vinsent Perera informed Justice Fernando that the proposed Agreed Facts have been sent to the Defence Counsels and Prosecution has not received a response. Qarases lawyer Tupou Draunidalo confirmed to the Court that she had received the Proposed Agreed Facts, the documents and boxes of disclosures on Tuesday afternoon and that she would need time to go through them. Aseri Vakaloloma who made an appearance on behalf of Bakani under the instructions of Filimoni Vosarogo informed the Court that they also need further time since the three Defence Counsels still could not have the meeting they were planning in order to discuss and finalize the PTC issues. Representing Dakuidreketi, Ravikant Singh introduced Queens Counsel Brian Keene and Maria Cole who will be appearing for Dakuidreketi. The matter was then adjourned to November 14, 2012 for Pre Trial Conference. Justice Fernando informed the Counsels that the Proposed Agreed Facts should be ready by then. The Trio is charged with seven counts in total. Qarase is charged with two Counts of an Abuse of Office, Bakani and Dakuidreketi are jointly charged with four Counts of Fraudulent Conversion while Bakani is also charged with one Count of an Abuse of Office.
Team Fiji Visits HMS Ocean
Tourism Focus
TOURISM remains the main income generator in several Forum island countries. This was revealed at the 2012 Pacific Plan Action Committee (PPAC) meeting held at the Forum Secretariat. A 2012 Annual Pacific Plan Progress Report which is based on progress reports from selected members of the Pacific Islands Forum and Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific (CROP) agencies was tabled revealing tourism was a key driver of economic growth in the Pacific region. "Tourism is the mainstay for income generation in a number of Forum island countries, with some estimates suggesting that total revenue from tourism flows to the region will account for some $US2billion from 2010 onwards," the report stated. According to the report, the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) led efforts to improve access to the region, including through training and awareness raising for the region's long-haul international destinations including UK, Europe and China.
Team Fiji enjoyed a tour of the HMS Ocean that is currently docked in the Thames River where it will remain for the duration of the Olympic Games. It is an aircraft carrier and United Kingdom's largest warship which plays a key role in the entire security operation surrounding the Olympic Games and acts as a base for the military personnel who have been drafted in to provide security for the Games. The HMS Ocean is also home to seven Fijians whose trades range from stewards to marine engineering mechanics to operator mechanics plus
a chef in the galley. Team Fiji officials and athletes who were invited counted themselves as very fortunate to have been invited and in a team update on their website said they were warmly welcomed by the captain and were given a tour of the ship and then enjoyed lunch in the junior rates mess. The HMS Ocean is 203 metres in length with 14 decks and weighs over 22milion kilograms. It has a ships complement of 441 and has a large hangar on board which can accommodate up to 12 helicopters which are being used for the Games security.
Increase In Sexual Assault In Homes

Fiji Police recorded a slight increase in sexual assault cases reported in July this year. Police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro said a total of 23 reports were received compared to 20 for the same period last year. The increase she attributed to people taking the initiative to come forward and report the rapes. And what is even more worrying, Naisoro said was that most of the perpetrators are known to the victims with the offence happening within their homes. She said indecent assault cases also showed a slight increase from 17 last year, to 20 in 2012. She said sexual assault is hard to prevent than other types of crimes because it is part of a serious social problem that occurs when a person thinks they have a right to access ones body. The Fiji Police Force is urging members of the public to take precautionary measures to prevent such acts from occurring.
3 Months Jail Term

TWO men were sentenced to three months imprisonment for illicit drug related offences. Togaliwaki Fuilakeba, 49, and Keni Tikoisuva, 56, appeared before Suva Magistrate Chaitanya Lakshman separately. Fuilakeba pleaded guilty to one count of being found in possession of illicit drugs and a second count of unlawful cultivation of illicit drugs. Tikoisuva, on the other hand, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful cultivation of illicit drugs. The court heard that on July 20 at Lami in Suva, Fuilakeba possessed two grams of cannabis. Also it heard that without lawful authority, he cultivated three cannabis plants weighing 787.4 grams. On the same date in Lami, Tikoisuva had cultivated 24 cannabis plants. The men were each sentenced to three months imprisonment.

Government To Employ Professional Retirees

The Fiji Government is doing all it can to make use of the knowledge and experiences of retirees in Fiji. This was revealed by Public Services Commission permanent secretary Parmesh Chand at the kick-off meeting on the South-South Cooperation (SSC) project. And this will be made possible under a cooperation project with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) which will educate trainers and trade experts. Chand said there are many retirees in Fiji who still have the capability and the experience to train young professionals in Fiji and the region. The SSC project is a mutual cooperation aimed at fostering selfsustained development, involving deepening relation among developing countries while conducting technical and economic cooperation. For Fiji, it needs to conduct the training in Fiji and dispatch the experts to Pacific Island Countries. For SSC to work in Fiji, it needs to firstly identify the resource organizations of Fiji like Fiji National University, Fiji Meteorological Services, Fiji Electricity Authority and to establish the mechanism of SSC with the assistance of JICA. For us, this project on training, through Japan SSC program should mark the beginning of our own SSC journey, said Chand. He said in this regards, Fiji has a strategic location, economic strength and knowledge. He added for other countries, history shows that previous aid recipients are now emergent donors. In doing so, we will be building up stronger partnership and a stronger Pacific community will mean a stronger political voice. Resident representative of JICA to Fiji, Shumon Yoshiara said the project supports the developing countries through the provision of the Third Country Training and Third Country Experts. In Fiji, PSC will set up the mechanism for the implementation of the SSC supported by JICA. Meanwhile, ten retired schoolteachers will soon depart to Marshall Islands to practice their trade.

12 Years For Rape

A 39-year-old Lautoka man has been jailed for 12 years after he raped his 10-year-old niece in August last year. The court heard the man raped his niece when she visited his house for a farewell dinner for her aunt who had visited the country from New Zealand. In sentencing the man, High Court Judge Justice Sitambarampillai Thurairaja said child abuse by family members in Fiji are becoming more common, this may be due to defenseless and vulnerability of victim children and the court noted a serious increase in child abuse cases. Justice Thurairaja said the Court is duty bound to protect children, while considering the rights, privileges and the convenience of the accused they should also consider the best interest of the children and the society at large. The court also heard the man made the victim insecure and his act took away her dignity. His mitigating factors was that he was the sole bread winner of his family, has a dependent wife, he is a first offender and he had adopted a 4 yearold daughter. The man will eligible for parole after serving 10 years imprisonment and has been given 30 days to appeal.

Hitman Admits Part In S. Africa Honeymoon Killing

Anni Dewani's family is a step closer to knowing the truth about how she died, after a hitman admitted his role in her honeymoon murder. Mziwamadoda Qwabe was jailed for 25 years after pleading guilty to the killing, alleged to have been ordered by the victim's husband, Shrien. Mrs Dewani, 28, was shot in the neck during the couple's honeymoon in Cape Town in November 2010, in a carjacking said to have been staged. Qwabe, 27, says an accomplice, Xolile Mngeni, also known as Watti, turned from the front passenger seat and fired the fatal shot as Mrs Dewani sat in the back of the car. He said he and Mngeni agreed to be paid 15,000 rand (about $1750) for the killing. The two men are said to have been hired to carry out the fake hold-up with the connivance of Zola Tongo, a taxi driver. In a plea deal, Qwabe said Tongo told him they were to take part in a job in which ''the husband wanted his wife killed'' but must appear to be a ''random criminal act''. Qwabe said the shooting took place after Mr Dewani and Tongo were dropped off. ''While I was driving the vehicle Watti shot and killed the deceased,'' he said. ''Watti was seated in the front passenger seat at the time that he fired the single shot.'' Qwabe said he became ''scared and nervous'' and pulled over at the side of the road, where he helped Mngeni find the bullet casing. Qwabe said he threw the casing into a storm drain as the pair ran away. Days later, he was arrested and admitted his involvement to police, helping them find the casing and the pistol used in the murder. Qwabe also admitted kidnapping, firearm possession and stealing Mrs Dewani's watch, bracelet, handbag and BlackBerry. Tongo has admitted his role and told prosecutors Mr Dewani ordered the carjacking and paid for the killing. The trial of Qwabe and Mngeni was due to start next week. A prosecution spokesman said: ''We are now a step closer to getting information on what happened on that day, which will shed some light on the role played by Shrien Dewani.'' The victim's uncle, Ashok Hindocha, welcomed the development. ''It is a little positive but the main question here is, what happened to Anni?'' He said the court process was ''legal torture'' for the family and had affected the health of Mrs Dewani's parents. Mr Dewani, 32, has denied hiring anyone to kill his wife. He faces extradition from Britain but proceedings were halted this year because of his poor mental health.

Man Had Gun, Knives At Ohio Screening Of 'The Dark Knight Rises'
fear" about going to a theatre, and chose the Batman movie by complete coincidence. Smith brought the weapons to a Regal Cinemas theater in Westlake, just outside of Cleveland, and seated himself in the middle of the back row of the theater, a half hour before the movie started, police said. A cinema manager and an off-duty police officer working security stopped Smith after they became suspicious of a bag he was carrying, a police spokesman said. "Why pick that movie? Why that theater? Why sit in the back all the way like that? Why bring the gun?" he said. "There are several unanswered questions." Smith was arrested without incident and is currently jailed. He was expected to be indicted on several weapons charges, but it's still too early to determine what those charges will be, said Nicole DiSanto of the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office. The theater manager first noticed Smith and the beige bag he carried over his shoulder, Arcuri said. When approached, Smith told the manager it had medical supplies inside. He then showed the manager a portion of the bag that didn't reveal the weapons. The off-duty Westlake police officer also noticed Smith and his bag. After checking with the manager, the officer followed Smith into the empty theater. The officer said Smith consented to a search inside the theater. Arcuri said the officer was more familiar with the bag, and knew where to look when he found a loaded 9 mm Glock pistol with two extra loaded magazines, Arcuri said. The officer also found three knifes in the bag and another knife on Smith, he said. There were also medical supplies, but Arcuri would not elaborate on what they were. When the officer asked Smith why he brought the weapons into the theater, Smith offered to put them in his car. Police searched Smith's North Ridgeville home Monday night and found more weapons, including at least six pistols and several shotguns and rifles, and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Arcuri said Smith, who did not have a concealed carry permit, should not have brought any weapon to the theater. "Our job is to protect the community," he said of police. "It's not his role. If there's a gun, it's because our officers brought it. It's not his job to bring the gun, it's ours." James Holmes, 24, is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 58 at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado, on July 20.
AN OHIO man brought a pistol and several knives to a showing of the latest Batman movie so he could protect himself, not because he had sinister intentions. Scott A. Smith, 37, had no intention of causing harm or inducing panic when he brought the weapons to a Saturday showing of The Dark Knight Rises, said his attorney, Matthew Bruce. "With the recent shooting in Colorado, and the other incidents around the country in regards to threats, he felt that he needed protection," Bruce said. Bruce said he was referring to movie theatre threats made after the deadly July 20 shooting in Aurora, Colo., where a 24-year-old man is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 at a midnight showing of the same movie.

California Gasoline Prices To Surge After Chevron Refinery Fire
Hotel Industry Troubled By Sex Worker Case

A SEX worker's discrimination win against a Queensland motel has the accommodation industry alarmed. The Accommodation Association of Australia is worried the ruling robs hotel and motel owners of the right to refuse guests who might disturb others. The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) ruled the owners of a motel in the mining town of Moranbah breached the Antidiscrimination Act for denying the sex worker a room. The woman had stayed at the motel 17 times in two years until the property's owners discovered in 2010 she was bringing clients to her room. They then banned her from staying there. The Gold Coast-based sex worker lost her anti-discrimination case last year but appealed last month. She won after her lawyer argued many people used the telephone or internet at the motel for business, and a bed was no different. The ruling could have broader implications for motels and hotels in Queensland's mining boom towns. The shift to fly-in, fly-out workforces in mining centres has also fuelled a flyin, fly-out sex trade. Accommodation Association of Australia chief executive Richard Munro says hotel and motel owners must retain the right to refuse guests who might disturb the amenity of their properties. " ... the responsibility for making the decision about who is able to stay in (hotels and motels) should lie with the owner, operator, licensee or manager of the business," Mr Munro said in a statement. The association was considering raising the matter with the Queensland and federal governments, he said. QCAT is yet to set a hearing date to decide on compensation for the sex worker. The motel owners' barrister David Edwards said his clients were considering an appeal.
A major fire at one of the country's biggest oil refineries that sent hundreds of people to hospitals with complaints of breathing problems will push gas prices above $4 a gallon on the West Coast, analysts said Tuesday. The fire, which sent plumes of black smoke over the San Francisco Bay area, erupted Monday evening in the massive Chevron refinery about 10 miles northeast of San Francisco. It was out early Tuesday. The West Coast is particularly vulnerable to spikes in gasoline prices because it's not well-connected to the refineries along the Gulf Coast, where most of the country's refining capacity is located, analysts say. The Chevron refinery is particularly big and important to the West Coast market, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. It produces about 150,000 barrels of gasoline a day 16 percent of the region's daily gasoline consumption of 963,000 barrels, he said. California's average price Tuesday for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.86. But with inventories in the region already low compared with the rest of the country, pump prices along the West Coast will soon average more than $4 a gallon, Kloza said. The fire began around 6:15 p.m. Monday in the refinery's No. 4 Crude Unit, about two hours after a vapor leak of hydrocarbons similar to diesel, said Heather Kulp, a Chevron spokeswoman. "At approximately 6:30 p.m., the volume increased and personnel evacuated the area," she said at a news conference. "The hydrocarbon vapor then ignited and a fire occurred." Kulp said there were no explosions, and staff at the refinery initiated an emergency response immediately after the fire started. The cause is under investigation. The black smoke and flames could be seen miles away from the refinery, which has been the target of complaints
and lawsuits by people who live near it in Richmond, a mostly lowincome community with five major oil refineries. Mayor Gayle McLaughlin said the fire was unacceptable. Emotions ran high during a Tuesday night community meeting in Richmond, where hundreds of people booed and shouted as a panel of Chevron and local officials tried to address the crowd. "I can assure you I have the utmost respect for this community," Nigel Hearne, the general manager of the refinery, said as the heckling intensified. "I want to get to the root cause of this incident," he said to more catcalls and shouts. At other times during the meeting, the crowd yelled so loudly that panel members could not speak. Police officers lined the stage at the end of the meeting as the speakers left. State workplace safety investigators cordoned off the entire crude unit, and no one was being allowed to enter without approval from the state, said Erika Monterroza, a spokeswoman for California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA. "Investigators have notified us that Chevron's emergency response was excellent," Monterroza said. Three employees suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene. Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo, a town near the refinery, said more than 300 people had sought help for eye irritation and breathing problems. The hospital said most of the patients were released after being seen. Kaiser's Richmond Medical Center said it had assessed and treated more than 350 people with respiratory concerns in its emergency department. No patients were admitted to the facility, said Jessie Mangaliman, a spokesman for Kaiser Permanente. Air quality officials said the region's 27 monitoring stations detected some increases in pollution.
Volcano Erupts In New Zealand, Spews Ash

A volcano quiet for more than a century erupted in a New Zealand national park, spreading thick ash for several kilometers and causing some residents to evacuate their homes. Some domestic flights were canceled. Mount Tongariro spewed ash and rocks for about 30 minutes late Monday night after a few weeks of increased seismic activity. It didn't cause any injuries or damage in the sparsely populated central North Island region. Tongariro National Park has three active volcanoes, is a popular tourist destination and was the backdrop for many scenes in the "Lord of the Rings" movies. Some residents left their homes as a precaution, and authorities temporarily closed roads. National carrier Air New Zealand canceled or delayed domestic flights to towns near the mountain, though by Tuesday afternoon, it said it was resuming service to locations where the ash cloud had cleared. No international flights were affected. Police said a witness to the eruption described flashes and explosions followed by a cloud of ash coming from a hole in the north face of the mountain. The Department of Conservation said three hikers were staying in a hut on the opposite slope of Mount Tongariro when it erupted but they walked out of the area safely. Steve Sherburn, a volcanologist at the government agency GNS Science, said the eruption spread a layer of ash several centimeters (one or two inches) thick for several kilometers. He said he'd heard reports of ash traveling on wind currents to coastal towns 100 kilometers away. He said the eruption was likely caused by steam pressure building within the mountain. The nation's civil defense ministry said eruption activity was subsiding though it still urged caution for people who were in the vicinity of the volcano. The park has closed hiking trails and sleeping huts on the mountain for now. New Zealand is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire" and has frequent geothermal and seismic activity. However, the last verified eruption of Mount Tongariro occurred in 1897, marking the end of a decade of volcanic activity. Sherburn said it was too early to determine whether the latest eruption was the start of a renewed cycle of activity.

The Obama administration says it will begin charging $US465 this month for temporary work permits for many young illegal immigrants, as it laid out details of one of its signature new policies on immigration. US Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin accepting applications on August 15 for the twoyear permits it announced last Friday. It will consider a limited number of fee exemptions but expects costs to be shouldered by applicants, not taxpayers. Under the program, which President Barack Obama announced in June, immigrants must have arrived in the US before their 16th birthday, be 30 or younger, lived in the US at least five years and be in school, graduated or served in the military. They are ineligible if convicted of a felony, three misdemeanors or one "significant" misdemeanor. Significant misdemeanors, as defined by Homeland Security, are any offences

that result in more than 90 days in jail, and some offences regardless of the sentence, including domestic violence, burglary and gun and drug crimes. Minor traffic offences, including driving without a licence, will not be counted at all against applicants. Driving offences are an important point because all but three states - New Mexico, Utah and Washington - deny licenses to illegal immigrants. Applicants, who must attend an appointment and submit to background checks, might have to wait several months for a ruling. The wait will depend on the backlog. The agency said the number of applications will determine how many employees it hires, and it did not provide an estimate for the total cost of the program. The media reported last month that Homeland Security Department internal documents estimated hundreds of employees may be hired and that the total cost could top $US585 million.
Air New Zealand Grounds Regional Fleet Over Cracks
Japan Marks Hiroshima Anniversary
Air New Zealand has grounded its regional fleet of 18 Beech 1900D aircraft after finding hairline cracks in three of the planes. The airline said cracks were found in the tail area of one aircraft during routine maintenance, prompting an inspection of the entire fleet, which is operated by its Eagle Air domestic regional offshoot. It said the inspections were ongoing but similar cracks had been found in two more of the 19-seat turboprop
aircraft, with all Eagle Air services cancelled while the rest of the fleet was examined. "We apologise to customers for the inevitable inconvenience cause by undertaking a full check of our fleet," the airline said in a statement. "However, the safety of our customers, our staff and our aircraft is paramount and non-negotiable for the airline." It said aircraft from elsewhere in the Air New Zealand fleet would be used on the Eagle Air routes.
Topless Speeder Mandy Ramsey Flees Cops In Car Chase
Tens of thousands of people marked the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Monday, as a rising tide of anti-nuclear sentiment swells in post-Fukushima Japan. Ageing survivors, relatives, government officials and foreign delegates attended the annual ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park commemorating the US bombing of the western Japanese city nearly seven decades ago. An American B-29 bomber named Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on August 6, 1945, turning the city into a nuclear inferno and killing an estimated 140,000 in the final chapter of World War II. At 8:15am, the time of detonation, the toll of a bell set off a moment of silence. Pedestrians came to a standstill and bowed slightly, joining their hands in prayer under scorching sunshine. "On this day, in this city, let me proclaim again: there must never be another nuclear attack -- never," said
Angela Kane, UN high representative for disarmament affairs. "Such weapons have no legitimate place in our world. Their elimination is both morally right and a practical necessity in protecting humanity." Some 50,000 people attended the official ceremony, while thousands of others joined demonstrations, marches, forums, and concerts held across the city. Among the attendees was Clifton Truman Daniel, 55, grandson of former US president Harry Truman, who authorised the bombing of Hiroshima and the port city of Nagasaki three days later. The Allied powers have long argued that the bombings brought a quick end to the war by speeding up Japan's surrender, preventing millions more casualties from a land invasion planned for later in the year. Mr Daniel is the first Truman relative to attend the anniversary event in Japan.
Mandy Ramsey, 35, of Florida told police she didn't pull over when requested because she was topless A WOMAN set off a high-speed police chase worthy of a Hollywood action movie when she refused to stop after police caught her speeding because she was topless. The driver told police "she was topless to surprise her boyfriend", a spokesman for the Marion County sheriff's office,
in northern Florida, said. According to the police report, the incident occurred when Mandy Ramsey was spotted by a patrol car zooming well above the speed limit on a county road. The officer set off behind her, intending to pull her over in a routine traffic stop, which typically includes a ticket and a fine. But Ms Ramsey, far from stopping, hit the accelerator and tried to ditch her police tail with several abrupt changes of route - blowing by a stop sign and clipping an oak tree before continuing on. Several other patrol cars joined the chase and, when the dark-coloured pick-up truck dipped out of sight, so did a police helicopter. The helicopter quickly located the truck at a house where Ms Ramsey had finally stopped. Though the vehicle was registered to someone else - boyfriend, James Woodard - Ms Ramsey admitted to police she had been driving, saying she hadn't wanted to stop while partially nude. The 35-year-old was "charged with fleeing and eluding law enforcement", police said, adding that she spent two nights in jail before being released on $US5000 bond.

Aujla said the investigation was still in early stages but he hopes to make contact with police in Canada in the next few days. He did not say if it would be the RCMP or the local police they would talk to. Aujla said his investigators would also go to Interpol if necessary. Aujla also said police would be starting the process to have Gills wife declared a proclaimed offender, a status that includes alleged offenders who are out of the country. Balpreet Kaur, Gills wife, declined to speak to the media but said all allegations were untrue. Her lawyer, Leo Adler, said that neither the Indian police nor the Canadian police have contacted his client. All there are lot of rumours, he said. He added that she has not been formally charged. This story, with as many twists as a Bollywood thriller, has played out on the local Punjabi radio in the past few days, including the popular Gaunda Punjab, hosted by Joginder Bassi, who interviewed Gill on his show last week.

A 32-year-old B.C. man is facing charges after allegedly threatening to repeat the Colorado shootings that left 12 people dead last month. Mounties in North Vancouver say Ryan John Lewis "made significant death threats" on his Facebook page "to commit crimes similar to the recent shootings in Colorado." Lewis was arrested Aug. 1. He made a short court appearance in North Vancouver and was charged with uttering threats. North Vancouver RCMP Cpl. Richard De Jong said he was later released from police custody on several conditions, including that he not have access to the internet. "The police are committed to keeping our communities safe and take these types of threats very seriously," De Jong said. "Social media is a powerful tool and can be used for good or bad. Comments and postings are not private

De Jong said Lewis has no previous criminal record and was not known to them before, but officers were quite concerned with the statements that he allegedly published. "He had a very disturbing affinity and support to these shootings and said he would repeat them in the Vancouver area," De Jong said. Twelve people died and 58 were wounded when a gunman opened fire on an audience attending the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises last month in Aurora, Colo. James Holmes, a 24-year-old former University of Colorado graduate student, is in custody and charged with dozens of counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder.

EI Benefits Extended To Families Canadas Language Watchdog Of Seriously Ill Children Going Undercover At Eight Major New benefits follow through on election pledge made in 2011 campaign Airports
Canadas bilingualism watchdog is going undercover at eight major airports to see if travellers are served equally well in English and French. Official Languages Commissioner Graham Fraser says his office will conduct more than 1,500 anonymous observations this fall at airports in Halifax, Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver. All airports that serve more than one million passengers a year must provide services in both English and French. The commissioner will check if signs are in both official languages, if staff offers a bilingual greeting to travellers and if services are available in French in predominantly English-speaking parts of the country and in English in French-speaking parts. Frasers office says the project will include observations of Air Canadas services on the ground and in the air on flights designated as bilingual. It will also look at the Canadian Air Transport Security Authoritys thirdparty services in security areas.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen, left, make cookies with 10-year-old brain cancer survivor Baxton Wacholtz, right, and his mother Michelle at Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver The federal government intends to follow through with its promise to create a new employment insurance benefit for parents who need to take time off work to care for seriously ill children, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said. The new benefit, promised during the 2011 election campaign, would provide income support for up to 35 weeks once implemented. It would be available for parents or legal guardians of minor children (under 18 years of age) with a life-threatening illness or injury. A medical certificate signed by a Canadian-certified pediatrician or medical specialist would be required to be eligible for the benefit. Harper, speaking at a Vancouver school, said of all the government announcements he makes, "few have given me as much satisfaction to announce as this one today." Harper said there is nothing the government can do to ease the emotional pain when a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, but it can help with the financial hardship that families experience when a child is sick. "Experience shows us that critically ill children do better and get better when their parents are with them," Harper said. "Families are the foundation of our country, and our government is committed to supporting them." As many as 6,000 families are expected to take advantage of the new assistance each year. It should be in place by June 2013. It can be combined with the existing compassionate care benefit, which provides up to six weeks of employment insurance for people caring for a sick loved one who is at risk of dying within six months. Also present at the announcement were Conservative MP Gord Brown, who represents Leeds-Grenville, Ont., the prime minister's wife, Laureen Harper, and the event's host, Vancouver Conservative MP Wai Young. Brown had introduced a private member's bill in the previous Parliament that sought to provide EI benefits to parents taking time off work to care for gravely ill children. That bill died when the 2011 election was called, but the Conservative Party's platform that year pledged to bring in that benefit to support families. One of Brown's constituents, Sharon Ruth, worked tirelessly to advocate for this kind of support for families after her youngest daughter, Colleen, became ill with cancer and her family experienced financial hardship firsthand. "Our story had a happy ending," Ruth told those gathered for the announcement, while acknowledging others less fortunate. Her daughter's cancer is in remission, and she is about to turn 16. Ruth said her daughter is living proof that children can beat cancer, but she has friends who have lost their children. "I did not set out to be a crusader," she said. "However, you play the cards you're dealt." Ruth wrote a book about her family's experience and said she did so hoping a decision-maker would read it and see how important it was to help parents. "Eventually, one did," she said, acknowledging her MP. "Because of you, parents whose children become seriously ill will find their road a little less rocky and a lot less uncertain," she said, thanking Brown. Harper also paid tribute to Brown's efforts over several Parliaments to implement these benefits and to Ruth, describing what her family went through, including having to re-finance their home. Before the announcement, the Harpers made cookies with a family at Ronald McDonald House, a charity that helps parents with sick children who travel to Vancouver for care.
Two of TransLink's transit system police officers have been charged with assault after a man was allegedly pepper-sprayed at a Vancouver SkyTrain station earlier this year. The 27-year-old man was sitting on some steps leading to the Granville station in the early evening of Feb. 9 when he was approached by the officers. The officers had been asked to check on the welfare of a man in distress who matched the description of the man

Revenue Canada Ex-Auditor, 2 Quebec Construction Moguls Charged

Fraud and forgery accusations allege men schemed to avoid $3M in corporate taxes RCMP have arrested two Quebec construction magnates and a former Canada Revenue Agency auditor on charges linked to a multimillion-dollar tax-evasion conspiracy, as part of the still-unwinding saga of corruption in the province's construction sector that touches all levels of government. Quebec businessmen Tony Accurso and Francesco Bruno as well as onetime CRA team leader Adriano Furgiuele were taken into custody Thursday morning. The three men, plus Bruno's former accountant Francesco Fiorino, each faces six charges including fraud, forgery, conspiracy and breach of trust by a public official, Cpl. Luc Thibault said Thursday morning outside the RCMP's Montreal headquarters. Mounties arrested and were interviewing a fifth man Thursday morning, Thibault said, though he has not yet been charged. The federal police force alleges the men conspired "to evade the payment of federal income tax" on companies owned by Accurso and Bruno, and were aided by corrupt tax officials at the CRA. Accurso has already been arrested once this year on accusations of fraud, conspiracy, influence-peddling, breach of trust and defrauding the government following an investigation into how the Montreal-area municipality of Mascouche awarded more than $40 million in contracts. His name has been at the centre of several corruption allegations, including accusations that he entertained a Montreal municipal politician on his yacht while the elected official was in charge of awarding a $355-million public contract for city water meters a contract that eventually went to a consortium in which Accurso was involved. Accurso was arrested early Thursday morning in Deux Montagnes, where he has a home, and was brought to the Montreal RCMP detachment at about 8:45 a.m. ET in a grey sedan, where two officers walked him into the station in front of a throng of reporters. Journalists asked him to comment on his arrest, but he remained silent.

Easy Ways to Keep More of Your Money

-Don't forget, you may use manufacturers' coupons in the commissary. And if you are stationed overseas, coupons will be honored by the commissary up to six months after the expiration date shown on the coupon. -Organize your coupons in a way that makes sense for you, so that you can find the coupons you need quickly. You may choose to organize them alphabetically, by category, or in the order items are arranged in your usual store. -Even if you have a coupon for an item, another brand or a different size may still be cheaper. Always compare prices so you'll spend less. -Also, don't be tempted to buy an item you wouldn't otherwise buy just because you have a coupon for a few cents off. Buying things you don't need is not a good way to spend less! -If you can't find some items at your local grocery store, you'll still spend less if you shop at the grocery store first, and buy everything you can there. Then, if you have to go to another grocery store for items not carried by your grocery store, try to use one that offers price matching, so you aren't tempted to run around to all the stores to buy the items they have on special. For example, Wal-Mart will generally sell grocery items at the prices advertised by any competitor, if it's less than the Wal-Mart price. This gives you the best of both worlds, and you'll spend less on gas as well as groceries. -Go through the store ads and note any specials on items you need. If an item is a particularly good value and is not likely to spoil, consider stocking up. On your shopping list, include items that are in season, and items for which you have coupons. -Try house brands or generic brands. Their quality may surprise you. Sometimes they are the exact same product, just packaged differently (often

But with the wisdom that comes with living life, I can confirm that, once again, "Father Knows Best." Below are compiled a list of Ways to Keep More of The Money You Make, in several categories. Food and Groceries -Let's start with the most obvious: You'll spend less if you eat at home rather than in restaurants (or drivethrus). Your family will be healthier, too! -Never grocery shop when you're hungry. You'll invariably buy more if you're hungry. -Plan to grocery shop once a week. Try to avoid extra trips during the week to pick up items you forgot. -Keep a blank shopping list pad and pen or pencil on the refrigerator or somewhere handy in the kitchen. As you notice you're running low on a staple item, write it on the list so you don't forget. Then remember to take the list when you go shopping! -Create a menu of meals for the entire week. Then create a shopping list based on the ingredients needed for those menus. Forget impulse shopping or just wandering the aisles, and you'll spend less! Check your pantry or cabinets and refrigerator before shopping to make sure you don't buy something you already have.
One of Canada's largest banks expects Canadian house prices to cool, but says the housing market will avoid a sharp drop like the one that occurred in the United States. Scotiabank said in a report Wednesday that Canadian home prices will decline a cumulative 10 per cent over the next two to three years. "Buyers market conditions will reemerge for the first time in over a decade," Scotiabank said in the report. The correction will be concentrated in the Toronto and Vancouver markets, two cities that have seen strong sales activity and outsized gains since the recession that began in 2008, the bank says. In its monthly data, the Canadian Real Estate Association has repeatedly singled out those two markets for having a disproportionate impact on the closely watched average price figure. Scotiabank appears to agree with that assessment, noting that housing

less expensive. -As much as possible, cut out use of drive-thrus and convenience foods (frozen dinners, vegetables, entrees, etc.). Cooking from scratch is cheaper, and much healthier for your family. Continued Next Week
markets in the rest of the country will see "more balanced conditions." Housing demand in Vancouver has fallen 20 per cent below its long-term trend, and new data from Toronto last week showed that the number of unsold condo units hit a record of 18,123 units in the second quarter. "In contrast, we continue to anticipate relatively more favourable demand and pricing in many other regional markets," the bank said. Home ownership is at a record high in Canada, but while pent-up demand has been exhausted, the full impact of the slowdown may not become fully visible until mid-decade, Scotiabank said. Even beyond that, the days of doubledigit increases could be a thing of the past, the bank says. The last two housing booms of the 1970s and 1980s were followed by eight and nine years, respectively, of negative-to-flat growth, the bank noted.

When Surrey Lost An Icon Of Love And Peace: Obituary For Andrew Singh
By:Thakur Ranjit Singh He was not a millionaire; neither was he a government minister, politician, a diplomat, head of a mandala or soccer team, CEO or President of a corporation. But what he did in his lifetime , and particularly in his death, beat all the records. Valley View Funeral Home in Surrey was in panic mode when it appears almost half of Calgary converged on their venue on Sunday June 12 to pay respect for a common mortal, but a little angel. The funeral home was filled to its seams and people continued pouring in. The gates had to be closed to prevent overcrowding and many were turned away from closed gates. It was agreed that this funeral home had not seen such a big funeral and such out pouring of grief at a death. That was the funeral of our little angel, my nephew, Andrew Ashneel Singh. As Air NZ 777-200 flight NZ 84 glided into Vancouver Airport on Wednesday 25 July 2012 at 2.05pm, the picturesque and green Vancouver reminded me of my home Auckland, New Zealand. I had a feeling of unease and sadness when there should have been happiness. Plans were made in December 2011 for me to visit Vancouver for wedding of my nephew Jason Singh, Andrews elder brother, on 27 July, 2012. But alas, this was not to be so. As flights had been booked and plans made for my visit, I nevertheless made the trip to Vancouver even when things changed. This was because a funeral preceded the planned happy wedding. As I arrived at Jitendra and Pratimas place in Surrey for what should have been a wedding venue, sadness and sobs greeted me. We had lost our beloved Andrew Singh on 7th June, 2012, just some seven weeks before the wedding. Andrew had been so excited about the wedding that he had already bought suits and suitable attire for the wedding when the groom Jason was still planning. But fate had something else planned up for us. Late in May, he was taken ill and admitted to Surrey Memorial Hospital. He showed signs of improvements but despite all the prayers, he succumbed to his illness and despite all his happy plans to attend his brothers wedding, he peacefully passed away on 7 June. The Singh family was forced to plan a funeral instead of a wedding. What was evident from unprecedented turnout at the funeral, Andrew was such a lovable boy, friends with all and enemies with none. At the tender age of 23, a boy with a smiling face and time for everybody had won so many hearts in Canada as well as in Fiji where his family was rooted. He had made numerous trips to Rarawai and befriended all in his fathers settlement, where he had so many bhabis (sister in laws), dadis (aunts) and he was especially popular with ladies. He had a reason for this, because he used to be found with them, chatting away in their kitchens, and they took special pleasure in feeding this very personable and friendly visitor from Canada, and Andrew loved his foods. Others visited from overseas, bur Andrew was different. Everybody in settlement was one of his relatives, and as is usual in Indian custom, he rarely called anybody his elder by name as such; somebody was his bhaiya, kaka, dada (brother, cousin or uncles), and I was his Jeet dada. Everybody was touched by this little angel who had time and smiles for all. He was also popular in Ba, the birthplace of his father where some 300 people gathered on his funeral day to see the funeral proceedings on Skype. With social media so common now, a persons character is reflected in what he writes and what others write about him or her. When Andrews uncle, Simon Singhs pet dog Kyser passed away, it was Andrew who dearly missed the pet and mourned its death. He put on his Facebook: REST IN PEACE KYZER: ur gone to god ur loved ones the whole family misses you, and ur biggest buddy the one u give hand shake to Andrew Singh, will miss you. We become so materialistic in life, yet here was somebody, who apart from his fellow beings had immense love even for animals which sensed to his contagious friendship. On his death, his Facebook had many tributes from his school friends and relatives One read: I know you must definitely be in a better place now, keep smiling up there. I will not forget you.Andrews cousin Hema Sanjeet wrote: You went through life with so much pain but smiling and enjoying each day to the fullest. Even though I am older than you, you have taught me how to live life. I want a brother like you in every life. RIP my little brother..Another one wrote: I am blessed to have had you as a brother in this life time and I hope I continue to be blessed with you as my brother in many life times to come. Save me a spot in heaven little bro. You will be missed... Till we meet again Yours truly wrote this on his Facebook on the day of his funeral: You were a gift to us only for 23 years, and now you have said good bye. May God grant strength to Jitendra and Pratima Singh, your siblings Jason and Nicky, and the whole of Singh family to bear this sad loss. Your life was celebrated through condolence gatherings in two parts of the world simultaneously: In Surrey Canada and in Rarawai, Ba Fiji. God be with you. Death of this angel, Andrew Singh has been a lesson to all in Surrey. I am
reminded of sage Kabir Dass couplets or Doha which is very relevant in this case: Kabira Jab Paida Hue to Jag Hansa Hum Roye, Aisi Karni Kar Chalo, Hum Hanse Jag Roye When you were born in this world, the world rejoiced and you cried. Live a life so worthy that when you go, you rejoice and the world mourns. That is exactly what happened on that cremation day when we all mourned, and Andrew laughed his way into heaven. On his obituary card, it was thus written: If you could have spoken, before you died, these are the words, you would have replied, This life for me is truly past, I love you all to the very last, weep not for me but courage take, And love one another- for my sake Yes, indeed, the angel of love has taught us all grown-ups, engrossed in our materialistic world the message of love for one another. That is least we could do towards the memory of Andrew Singh by celebrating his life in love and peace that he represented. As I am finishing this obituary in Surrey in his computer room and on his computer at past midnight on a warm summer night, I could sense Andrew looking over my shoulder and saying Jeet dada, well written. His mum, Pratima had a dream in which Andrew said, Mum, I will never leave you. We know, you will not, our little angel, you are always with us and in our thoughts. Hindus believe in reincarnation and who knows, one day you will take birth in your familys home to complete your message and deeds about simplicity, love, friendship, humanity and humility. Rest in peace, our angel of love. See you later. [E-mail: thakurji@xtra.co.nz]

Electric Toothbrush Versus Manual
Coloring
Q: Are electric toothbrushes better than manual? A: Maybe for some people, but brushing technique is more important than your toothbrush. When faced with the vast array of available options choosing a toothbrush can be a headache, and the addition of electric toothbrushes in recent years may have added to your confusion. But are electric toothbrushes actually a better choice than manual ones? With correct brushing technique optimal results can be achieved with both manual and electric toothbrushes, says Dr Peter Alldritt, chairman of the Australian Dental Association's oral health committee. "If someone is doing really well with a manual brush and not having any problems with plaque or brushing too hard, there is little to gain from switching to an electric toothbrush," he says. The whole reason we brush and floss our teeth is to remove plaque, which is a biofilm of bacteria that tries to attach itself to our teeth. The right brushing technique achieves a perfect balance between getting the toothbrush close to the gum so you remove all the plaque from the gum line, without pressing too hard and causing damage to the teeth and gums, Alldritt says. "In order to think they are doing a perfect job of brushing, some people get in there so hard they can actually cause recession of the gum and then they can cause abrasion where they are actually brushing away the tooth by brushing too hard," he says. It's this difficulty in achieving the perfect balance that may mean some people are better off using an electric toothbrush. When electric may be better For the many people who struggle to brush their teeth properly with a manual toothbrush, an electric toothbrush can be an improvement because it is less dependent on brushing correctly. "Often publications come out where they take 100 people and give 50 manual toothbrushes and 50 electric and compare how much plaque is getting removed, how healthy the gums are and how much gum recession they have," Alldritt says. "In most reports people using an
electric brush generally do better." Meanwhile, an electric toothbrush designed for children with colourful pictures and music can make it easier to get kids brushing their teeth. "It sounds like a bit of a gimmick, but if that is going to make it easier for the child to brush their teeth then that has to be good for their oral health," Alldritt says. People with arthritis in their hands or other disabilities may also find it easier to hold an electric toothbrush because they have a bigger handle than manual ones. "They can just hold it in their mouth and let the electric motion do the work without them having to move the toothbrush around in a delicate manner," he says. Oral hygiene tips No matter which toothbrush you choose, the rules for maintaining oral hygiene are the same and brushing technique will always be of the utmost importance. Plaque starts to form near the gum line not on the top of the tooth, so when you are brushing aim the toothbrush bristles at the gum line, then move the toothbrush in a circular motion so that it sweeps plaque away from the gums, Alldritt says. "Move around the teeth gradually in a systematic fashion. Don't just brush randomly in all sorts of places; start in one area and work your way around. Do it in a systematic fashion so you know you are going to be thorough," he says. Here are some top tips to bear in mind when looking after your teeth: Always choose a soft bristle toothbrush rather than a hard or medium brush. Clean your teeth in the morning after breakfast and before you go to bed at night. Replace both manual and electric toothbrush heads every three months. Don't underestimate the importance of flossing to remove plaque from between your teeth where your toothbrush cannot reach. Cleaning your tongue is also an important habit to remove plaque that is full of bacteria and can cause of bad breath.

Tips To Lower Your Cholesterol

Dont panic if youve been diagnosed with high cholesterol. Use these tips and tricks to reduce your cholesterol and get back on track. Making the change to a healthful diet is the first step in lowering cholesterol. Most important: Limit the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in your diet. Foods to avoid or limit include: Whole milk, cream, and ice cream Butter, egg yolks, and cheese and foods made with them Organ meats, such as liver, sweetbreads, and kidney High-fat processed meats, such as sausage, bologna, salami, and hot dogs Fatty meats that arent trimmed Duck and goose meat (raised for market) Baked goods made with egg yolks and saturated fats Fried foods Saturated fats, including coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil Solid fats, such as shortening, partially hydrogenated margarine, and lard Follow a Low-Fat Diet Cook Light Serve smaller portions of higher-fat dishes, and serve bigger portions of lower-fat dishes, such as rice, beans, and vegetables. Add Flaxseed Get Plenty of Exercise
Its not just your grocery list that can influence your cholesterol levels your cooking method matters, too. Use a rack to drain fat when you broil, roast, or bake. Broil or grill instead of pan frying. Cut visible fat from meat before cooking, and remove skin from poultry pieces. (If youre roasting a whole chicken or turkey, remove the skin after cooking.) Make Healthy Substitutions
Just as some foods increase cholesterol, others help lower it. Foods you should eat include: Fruits and vegetables: 810 daily servings, especially high-fiber items such as beans and peas Good fat fish (i.e. salmon): 2 or more servings per week Whole grains: 6 or more daily servings Nuts and seeds: 45 servings per week Nonfat and low-fat dairy: 23 daily servings Lean meat and poultry without skin: 56 ounces daily Unsaturated vegetable oils: including canola, corn, olive, safflower, and soybean oils (but limit the amount of margarines and spreads made from them)
Try these tips and tricks to lighten up your favorite recipes: Make recipes or egg dishes with egg whites or egg substitutes, not yolks. Instead of regular cheese, use lowfat cottage cheese, part-skim milk mozzarella, and other fat-free or low-fat cheeses. Use vegetable-oil spray to brown or saut food. Dont bake with drippings; use wine, fruit juice, or marinade. Control Portions
Flaxseed can help reduce total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Flaxseed oil also contains omega-3 fatty acids, but it doesnt have the beneficial fiber that the seeds have. Ways to include flaxseed in your diet: Add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to your hot or cold breakfast cereal. Add a teaspoon of ground flaxseed to mayonnaise or mustard when making a sandwich. Mix a tablespoon of ground flaxseed into an 8-ounce container of yogurt. Bake ground flaxseed into cookies, muffins, breads, and other baked goods. Load Up on Fiber
Studies show that exercising up to three times a week for 30 minutes can reduce LDL cholesterol, elevate HDL (good) cholesterol, and lower your risk of serious heart complications. Walking is one of the best ways to get physical activity since its low-impact and requires little equipment. Heres how to sneak in extra steps: Use the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. Park farther away from your destination. Walk to your coworkers office or cubicle instead of calling or sending an e-mail. Take your dog out for a stroll. Buy a pedometer to motivate yourself and keep track of your progress. Get Active Without Sweating
Soluble fiber helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol by reducing its absorption in the intestines. Soluble fiber can be found in: oats barley rye beans peas apples prunes berries fiber supplements
Portion sizes are notoriously large in North America. By balancing your portions, you can help lower your cholesterol and lose weight at the same time.
If you think most fitness activities are a chore or you have been out of the gym for a little too long, there are other ways to get in shape. Some no-sweat exercise ideas include: Marching in place while watching TV. Planting and watering flowers in your garden. Washing your car. Mowing the lawn. Scrubbing the floors. Dusting and vacuuming.

Severe influenza increases by two fold the odds that a person will develop Parkinson's disease later in life, according to University of British Columbia researchers. However, the opposite is true for people who contracted a typical case of red measles as children - they are 35 per cent less likely to develop Parkinson's, a nervous system disorder marked by slowness of movement, shaking, stiffness, and in the later stages, loss of balance. The findings by researchers at UBC's School of Population and Public Health and the Pacific Parkinson's Research Centre are based on interviews with 403 Parkinson's patients and 405 healthy people in British Columbia, Canada. Lead author Anne Harris also examined whether occupational exposure to vibrations - such as operating construction equipment - had any effect on the risk of Parkinson's. In another study, she and her collaborators reported that occupational exposure actually decreased the risk of developing the disease by 33 percent, compared to people whose jobs involved no exposure. Meanwhile, Harris found that those exposed to high-intensity vibrations for example, by driving snowmobiles, military tanks or high-speed boats - had a consistently higher risk of developing Parkinson's than people whose jobs involved lower-intensity vibrations (for example, operating road vehicles). The elevated risk fell short of the statistical significance typically used to establish a correlation, but was strong and consistent enough to suggest an avenue for further study, Harris said. "There are no cures or prevention programs for Parkinson's, in part because we still don't understand what triggers it in some people and not others," noted Harris, who conducted the research while earning her doctorate at UBC. "This kind of painstaking epidemiological detective work is crucial in identifying the mechanisms that might be at work, allowing the development of effective prevention strategies," she added.

Side Effects Of Quitting Smoking

Whether you believe or not, smoking is definitely more harmful than anything else you can think of. For the first few days after you actually quit smoking, your body might not behave so well. This, in turn might force you to restart smoking but these symptoms are commonly known as withdrawalsymptoms. Have you ever thought why it is so tough to quit smoking? On the contrary, it is actually quite easy to quit smoking. However, there might be certain positive and negative side effects of quitting smoking. Read on to find out the various side effects of quitting smoking. It is a very well known fact that smokers who quit smoking, over time, become healthier than those who don't give up this habit. But it is only the brief period after quitting to smoke that one needs to battle. This is so because, the few initial days after you actually quit smoking, the withdrawal symptoms are most prominent. A person who has left smoking will feel anxious, irritable, confused and may be even depressed. Also, a slower heart-beat than normal and increased appetite might result from the lack of cigarettes. For the first few days, the blood sugar level is also bound to go down quite a bit. As a result of this, one might feel dizziness, concentration lapse and other such behavioral changes. One might also want to have lots of sweet food as a result. Because the blood is not getting its regular supply of nicotine, the low blood sugar level will then result in less supply of oxygen to the blood stream and brain. As a result, one might feel lightheadiness and nausea as well. It is interesting to find out the relation between the blood sugar level in the body and nicotine. Many people might believe that nicotine supplies sugar to the body, but that could not have been farther from the truth. It simply excites some specific organs as a result of which the amount of sugar that is stored in our body is released. The blood pressure and the pulse rate might increase temporarily after you quit smoking which might feel like one is having an anxious and nervousness attack but it is actually the body's way of coping with the situation. The immediate phase after quitting is mainly characterized by a number of gains for the health of a person. After about 8 hours of quitting to smoke, the oxygen level in the body begins to go up which reduces the amount of carbon monoxide level. After a day or 24 hours have passed by without a smoke, the chances of heart attack decrease noticeably. Regular smoking causes harm to the nerves of the body. After about 48 hours of non-smoking however, the repairing process of the nerves begins. Now, that the side-effects of smoking are in front of you, it will serve you really well to quit smoking and start to live healthy.
Early Toilet Training Could 'Harm Potty Prodigies'

Parents who pressurize their children to potty train before the age of three may be hurting them, a pediatric urologist has said. Dr Steve Hodges, a professor at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, has said that training too early can lead to more toilet accidents because children's the bladder may not be strong enough. It can also lead to constipation, kidney damage and even urinary tract infections because the toddlers tend to hold in their bowel movements longer than they should. "Children under age three should not manage their own toileting habits any more than they should manage their college funds," the Daily Mail quoted Dr Hodges as saying. Dr Hodges penned the book, 'its No Accident', to debunk myths that parents should strive to get their children out of diapers and onto toilets as early as possible. He says that babies need to experience 'uninhibited voiding', or elimination, in a manner that they can respond to their bodies urges in a judicious manner. Once they can fully figure that out, then parents can bring them to the bathrooms. When parents train too early, it can lead to devastating problems in the future. "Virtually all toileting problems pee and poop accidents, bedwetting, urinary frequency, and urinary tract infections - are related to chronically holding pee or poop or both," he wrote. "It's typically the kids who trained earliest and most easily who develop the most serious problems," he wrote. Dr Hodges, who runs a clinic, said that half of his patients have toileting issues and they are the ones who were trained before the age of three. But the numbers aren't just anecdotal. Physician visits for children's constipation have quadrupled in the last decade, according to the Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility. "Since parents tend to believe potty problems are normal, many don't bother bringing their kids to the doctor," he said. "The bladder needs about three or four years to grow and develop, and uninhibited voiding (read: diapers) facilitates maximum growth," he added. He insists that parents who are too focused on 'potty liberation' need to give their children some breathing room.

But her journey was not easy as initially many lead actors refused to pair up with her. "I started my career on the wrong note as a supporting actress. In spite of that I became one of the top-most heroines at the age of 18. That shows how much people loved me," she said. Khilona was the turning point in her career, and in the same year she featured in V. Shantaram's 'Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti' with Jeetendra who refused to work with her. "Shantaramji put his foot down. He told Jeetu, 'If you don't want to work with her, you leave the film. I'll take another hero.'...I held no grudges against Jeetuji because in those days many big heroes refused to work with me," she said. Excerpts from the interview: Q: What about the love between a parent and a child? A: Only the love between a mother and a child is unconditional. Q: That's too cynical. A: It's a fact. You look at marriages all over the world. Who looks after the child? The mother, no? My husband is a good father. But I've friends who have brought up their children alone. I've the highest regard for the mother. In my own case my parents divorced very young. My mother took both me and my sister Malka when she left my father. My father said he wouldn't give her any money. He gave her both the daughters instead. Q: So your father was around? A: Of course. People believed I was fatherless because Devyani Chaubal wrote, 'Mumtaz does not have a father'. I took her to court. My father, who lived in Hyderabad, promised to come to court to prove her wrong. He said, 'Hum ayega court mein'. Q: And did he? A: No, the magazine and Devyani apologised publicly. I forgave them. If someone wrongs me and realises it, I am ready to forgive. But I will never tolerate nonsense. Q: So you were raised by your mother? A: My grandmother, mother and my aunt. Like Three Men & A Baby in my life there were three women and a baby. It was a wonderful childhood. We were a typical Irani family. My mother was divorced when she was only 16. Then my mother re-married. She had two sons. One of them died. But I've a stepbrother named Shah Rukh Askari in Mumbai. Q: Then there is the other Shah Rukh who is your fan.
Many Big Heroes Refused To Work With Me: Mumtaz

A: You mean Shah Rukh Khan? Yes I heard. That's very sweet of him. Q: Who is not your fan? A: Oh there must be many. I've been lucky. I started my career on the wrong note as a supporting actress. In spite of that I became one of the top-most heroines at the age of 18. That shows how much people loved me. I'd be appreciated even when I was not the heroine. My fans were with me. Then I married at 26 and left India. Q: Do you recall any bad experiences on your way to stardom? A: Nothing like that. There were no cheap passes made. It all depends on how one conducts oneself. I firmly believe if you're a hard-working and good-looking nobody except god can stop you. Our film industry does give a chance to new talent. But the newcomer has to be worth it, no? Those who talk about being forced to compromise must be lacking in talent and looks. They want to become overnight stars. As for men taking advantage of strugglers, why blame only the entertainment industry? It happens in all work places. Sexual dynamics are tapped in every profession for a raise, for a promotion, whatever. Please don't point fingers at the film industry. And look at the kind of monies that are given to actors. You really have to be worth it to command that kind of fees. Q: Which are your favourite roles and films? A: Khilona, Tere Mere Sapne, Aaina, Aap Ki Kasam, Jheel Ke Us Paar there were so many other hits. But I wouldn't call them memorable films or roles. Khilona was a turning point for me. Producer L.V. Prasadji had the guts to sign a side actress like me in the author-backed part. It broke my glamorous tomboyish image. Do you know, Seeta Aur Geeta was offered to me? But they offered me a very small remuneration, so I said no. Q: Do you regret losing it? A: No, why should I? Because it was a hit? But I gave so many hits. Hemaji got her first Filmfare Award for Seeta Aur Geeta. Mujhe pehle mil chuka tha for Khilona. Q: What about V. Shantaram who cast you as a leading lady for the first time in Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti? A: I was doing Khilona and Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti at the same time. I was signed for a guest appearance to do a song. I had done bit roles in Shantaramji's Stree and Sehra. I couldn't say no to him. So I agreed to do a song in Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti. Then his daughter Rajshree, who was playing the lead in the film, decided she didn't want to work. So Shantaramji decided to cast me as the leading lady in Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti. But the film's leading man Jeetendra refused to work with me. Q: What are you saying! Jeetendra and you became such good friends? A: Ya, he said, 'Mumtaz ke saath main kaam nahin karunga'. Shantaramji put his foot down. He told Jeetu, 'If you don't want to work with her, you leave the film. I'll take another hero.' But Jeetuji finally relented. I held no grudges against Jeetuji because in those days many big heroes refused to work with me. Q: Even Dev Anand? A: No, he never refused. I got the chance to work with him in Tere Mere Sapne. If he said no to any film with me, I am not aware. Q: Jeetendra and you did so many films subsequently? A: Yes, but our jodi did not become as successful as Rajesh Khanna and I. My films with Jeetu didn't click. Q: It's the chemistry? A: its fate and destiny. It's up to the audience to take an actor to the skies or drop him or her to the ground. Either they love you or hate you. Q: You left the film industry so long ago....
A: Forty years ago I left. I did make a comeback in 1990 with Aandhiyaan. When that flopped, my heart broke. I did get offers after that. But I decided against doing any more films. There's too much politics in the film industry. I live in London. Working in Mumbai would have been impractical. It meant too much stress. I didn't need it. Q: Any role recently that you felt you should have done? A: I liked Hemaji's role in Baghbaan. But I didn't like any other film that she has done lately. Q: But to see you play an aged woman of grown-up children would be unacceptable? A: That's one of the reasons why my comeback film Aandhiyaan failed. People wanted to know why I was playing mother to an 18-year old. I was a trendy mom in jeans. I dressed in the film how the heroine dressed in the original Pakistani film. Director David Dhawan wanted me to dress and behave exactly the way it was in the original. It didn't go down well with the audience.

Common Fraud Schemes

Telemarketing Fraud When you send money to people you do not know personally or give personal or financial information to unknown callers, you increase your chances of becoming a victim of telemarketing fraud. Here are some warning signs of telemarketing fraudwhat a caller may tell you: You must act now or the offer wont be good. Youve won a free gift, vacation, or prize. But you have to pay for postage and handling or other charges. You must send money, give a credit card or bank account number, or have a check picked up by courier. You may hear this before you have had a chance to consider the offer carefully. You dont need to check out the company with anyone. The callers say you do not need to speak to anyone including your family, lawyer, accountant, local Better Business Bureau, or consumer protection agency. You dont need any written information about their company or their references. You cant afford to miss this high-profit, no-risk offer. If you hear these or similar lines from a telephone salesperson, just say no thank you and hang up the telephone. Tips for Avoiding Telemarketing Fraud: Its very difficult to get your money back if youve been cheated over the telephone. Before you buy anything by telephone, remember: Dont buy from an unfamiliar company. Legitimate businesses understand that you want more delivered. Be wary of companies that want to send a messenger to your home to pick up money, claiming it is part of their service to you. In reality, they are taking your money without leaving any trace of who they are or where they can be reached. Always take your time making a decision. Legitimate companies wont pressure you to make a snap decision. Dont pay for a free prize. If a caller tells you the payment is for taxes, he or she is violating federal law. Before you receive your next sales pitch, decide what your limits are the kinds of financial information you will and wont give out on the telephone. Be sure to talk over big investments offered by telephone salespeople with a trusted friend, family member, or financial advisor. Its never rude to wait and think about an offer. Never respond to an offer you dont understand thoroughly. Never send money or give out personal information such as credit card numbers and expiration dates, bank account numbers, dates of birth, or social security numbers to unfamiliar companies or unknown persons. Be aware that your personal information is often brokered to telemarketers through third parties. If you have been victimized once, be wary of persons who call offering to help you recover your losses for a fee paid in advance. If you have information about a fraud, report it to police or federal law enforcement agencies.
information about their company and are happy to comply. Always ask for and wait until you receive written material about any offer or charity. If you get brochures about costly investments, ask someone whose financial advice you trust to review them. But, unfortunately, bewarenot everything written down is true. Always check out unfamiliar companies with your local consumer protection agency, Better Business Bureau, state attorney general, the Fraud Information Center, or other watchdog groups. Unfortunately, not all bad businesses can be identified through these organizations. Obtain a salespersons name, business identity, telephone
number, street address, mailing address, and business license number before you transact business. Some con artists give out false names, telephone numbers, addresses, and business license numbers. Verify the accuracy of these items. Before you give money to a charity or make an investment, find out what percentage of the money is paid in commissions and what percentage actually goes to the charity or investment. Before you send money, ask yourself a simple question. What guarantee do I really have that this solicitor will use my money in the manner we agreed upon? Dont pay in advance for services. Pay services only after they are

Melbourne, Australia
installed in two stages: Stage 1 from Arden Metro (Dynon Rd) to Parkville Metro, to CBD North Metro (Carlton) to CBD South, to Domain (St Kilda) Stage 2 from Domain to Caulfield. Trams Main article: Trams in Melbourne Melbourne has the largest tram network in the world which had its origins in the city's 1880s land boom. In the 2010-2011 year 182.7 million passenger trips were made by tram. Melbourne's is Australia's only tram network to comprise more than a single line and consists of 250 km (155.3 mi) of track, 487 trams, 28 routes, and 1,773 tram stops. Sections of the tram network are on roads, while others are separated or are light rail routes. Melbourne's trams are recognised as iconic cultural assets and a tourist attraction. Heritage trams operate on the free City Circle route, intended for visitors to Melbourne, and heritage restaurant trams travel through the city and surrounding areas during the evening. Buses Melbourne's bus network consists of almost 300 routes which mainly service the outer suburbs fill the gaps in the network between rail and light rail services. 86.7 million passenger trips were recorded on Melbournes buses in 2007. Port Ship transport is an important component of Melbourne's transport system. The Port of Melbourne is Australia's largest container and general cargo port and also its busiest. The port handled two million shipping containers in a 12 month period during 2007, making it one of the top five ports in the Southern Hemisphere. Station Pier on Port Phillip Bay is the main passenger ship terminal with cruise ships and the Spirit of Tasmania ferries which cross Bass Strait to Tasmania docking there. Ferries and water taxis run from berths along the Yarra River as far upstream as South Yarra and across Port Phillip Bay. Air Melbourne has four airports. Melbourne Airport, at Tullamarine, is the city's main international and domestic gateway and second busiest in Australia. The airport is home base for passenger airlines Jetstar Airways and Tiger Airways Australia and cargo airlines Australian air Express and Toll Priority; and is a major hub for Qantas and Virgin Australia. Avalon Airport, located between Melbourne and Geelong, is a secondary hub of Jetstar. It is also used as a freight and maintenance facility. Buses and taxis are the only forms of public transport currently available to and from the city's main airports. Air Ambulance facilities are available for domestic and international transportation of patients. Melbourne also has a significant general aviation airport, Moorabbin Airport in the city's south east as well as handling a limited number of passenger flights. Essendon Airport, which was once the city's main airport also handles passenger flights, general aviation and some cargo flights.
Rail The Melbourne rail network has its origins in privately built lines from the 1850s gold rush era, and today the suburban network consists of 200 suburban stations on 16 lines which radiate from the City Loop, a partially underground metro section of the network beneath the Central Business District (Hoddle Grid). Flinders Street Station is Melbourne's busiest railway station, and was the world's busiest passenger station in 1926. It remains a prominent Melbourne landmark and meeting place. The city has rail connections with regional Victorian cities, as well as directs interstate rail services to Sydney and Adelaide and beyond which depart from Melbourne's other major rail terminus, Southern Cross Station in Spencer Street. In the 20082009 financial year, the Melbourne rail network recorded 213.9
million passenger trips, the highest in its history. Many rail lines, along with dedicated lines and rail yards are also used for freight. Melbourne Metro
The Melbourne Metro Project, is a planned development consisting of a new railway line running north-south under the city centre. This line will be
Is Travel Insurance Worth The Extra Money?

In rare instances it's a good deal, but it often duplicates existing coverage
auto club membership. Check to see what travel protection you have from those little plastic cards in your wallet. The American Express Platinum Card is especially good about giving generous accidental death and dismemberment coverage, insurance for car rental loss and damage, and extra lost baggage protection. 4. Buy through a third-party insurer. Travel agents, tour operators and cruise lines sell travel insurance, but your safest bet is to obtain coverage through an established insurance company. This way your coverage wont go up in smoke if your travel company goes bankrupt. 5. Ask the right questions. As you shop around, ask insurers: What disasters are covered? What restrictions apply? What type of assistance does the insurance company give in the event of a medical emergency or other serious problem? How does the reimbursement get determined? 6. Know the drill with tripcancellation coverage. Heres the biggest reason you may not need it: Even in the case of natural disasters and other dramatic events beyond a travel providers control, youre likely to get a refund if your trip gets completely canceled on you. 7. Avoid flight insurance sold in vending machines. Have you ever spotted such offers in airports? Theyre situated there to play on peoples fear of flying, but remember: The least expensive way to insure your life is through a term life insurance policy, which you may already have. And your credit card may provide such coverage as well. 8. Understand cancellation waivers. Many cruise and tour operators offer these waivers for about $40 to $60 as coverage in case you have to cancel your trip. While the waivers provide some protection, they often have many restrictions and are not regulated. 9. Consider extra coverage. If you must travel with expensive electronic equipment, sporting gear or jewelry, you could consider a floater for your existing homeowners or renters policy. This could be a relatively lowcost way to insure those items. 10. Recognize the value of emergency medical assistance coverage. This would cover you if you must be airlifted off a mountain, receive prolonged treatment in a foreign hospital or Planning to go across the border? Or maybe take a little cruise down to Mexico? Before you head for the hills, its a good idea to make sure you have enough insurance coverage. Travel insurance is becoming increasingly popular, but in many cases it simply duplicates coverage you already have. The following tips can help you determine what kind of travel coverage, if any, is right for you. 1. Familiarize yourself with whats out there. Travel insurance can include trip cancellation, trip interruption, accidental death or dismemberment, medical and dental care, transportation to medical facilities, loss of luggage or personal possessions and protection against the bankruptcy or default of your cruise line or tour operator. 2. Determine whether youre already covered. Many homeowners and renters policies provide coverage for theft and other losses away from home. Your medical and auto insurance may be valid in other countries. Your life insurance policy should cover you and your family while you travel. And airlines must reimburse you if they lose your bags. 3. Remember your credit cards and be flown home because of serious sickness or injury. Before you buy, find out whether your health insurer would cover you overseas and pay for your flight home if an emergency strikes. If you have Medicare, this coverage could be valuable because youre probably not covered outside the United States.

The 2012 Nissan Rogue provides a little more ground clearance and a lot more cargo versatility than the typical sedan, but it's pitched toward suburban driveways and city streets, not off-road trails. Like most modern crossovers, the Rogue is a good pick for small families, as well as commuters who need a some extra cargo capability in an only vehicle--without sacrificing too much fuel efficiency or maneuverability. The Rogue's sleek, rakish design still looks fresh; among crossover designs, it's has a somewhat lower stance, and its proportions can appear wider and longer than it actually is from the outside. Although it's based on the Sentra sedan, you wouldn't know it as the two vehicles share absolutely no sheetmetal (and no significant pieces inside or out, really). Inside, the fivepassenger Rogue gets a chunky interior design that borrows a bit from all of Nissan's cars and crossovers. , you get some cues from the larger Murano, for a hint of upscale, with chrome accents, and new front and rear spoilers, and new wheels added last year enhancing the look. If you want a choice of powertrains, a higher-performance option, or want one of the more exciting crossovers to drive, the Rogue isn't the right pick. But the Rogue's 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine moves it quickly enoughjust under nine seconds to 60 mph. The continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) keeps the engine in its efficient range,

but rubber-band-like responsiveness could leave some drivers uneasy, and hard acceleration is punctuated by a coarse drone from the engine. Frontwheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available, and a better choice for snowy climes, though it saps 1-2 mpg year round. Around town and on the commute you'll find the Rogue to maneuver and handle well, with a responsive, nimble feel; but push it to higher speeds and it's clear that the tuning priority was comfort, not performance. Along with great ride comfort and a reasonably quiet interior, the Rogue has a very well-packaged interior, with a driving position that's not too high, not too low, combined back seats spacious enough for two adults (or three kids). Cargo space, even with the back seats up, is ample, and the cargo floor is quite low. Our only criticism is that some surfaces can bring out pitchiness and road noise. The Rogue has performed quite well in crash tests, although it achieves just 'acceptable' in the IIHS roof strength test. Otherwise, the Nissan Rogue comes with all the requisite features for both safety and basic family comfortincluding air conditioning, cruise control, and a nice-sounding audio system with steering-wheel controls. It remains offered in two trims, S and SV, but for 2012 there's a new Special Edition that adds steeringwheel audio controls, a USB port, fog lamps, satellite radio, and a 4.3-inch

audio display. A nav system, a power moonroof, xenon headlamps, and a rearview monitor are among other options. In addition, the Rogue is the
first non-luxury vehicle in the U.S., according to Nissan, to get an Around View Monitor (SL model), which helps with rearward visibility.
Excuses, excuses. Thats what police across the province heard last month from B.C. drivers who were caught using a hand-held device while driving. During the month-long crackdown in September on distracted driving, police estimate they issued more than 3,500 tickets to drivers for using electronic device behind the wheel. Drivers need to honestly examine their own driving behaviours and recognize when they are distracted multi-tasking behind the wheel is driving distracted. A recent Ipsos Reid survey conducted on behalf of ICBC revealed that over 50 per cent of respondents reported that they see other drivers violating the restrictions on using hand-held devices several times a day, yet only about 16 per cent admitted doing the same while driving in the past 12 months. Its evident that there are still a lot of drivers who dont realize that distracted driving can have tragic consequences, said Shirley Bond, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. Every time we get behind the wheel, we have peoples lives in our hands whether theyre the lives of our passengers, other drivers, cyclists or pedestrians. We need to stop making excuses and adopt new driving habits.
B.C. Drivers Top 10 Excuses For Using A Cellphone Behind The Wheel
We need to ask ourselves how we can all be part of making our roads safer, said Fiona Temple, director of road safety at ICBC. It comes down to understanding the dangers of driving distracted, being honest about our own driving behaviours and taking steps to prevent being distracted behind the wheel. The excuses Ive heard are incredible, said Chief Jamie Graham, Victoria Police and Traffic Safety Committee Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police. One distracted driver even tried to tell me that he wasnt on the phone he was just listening. The reality is that there is no valid excuse because distracted driving is entirely preventable.

Write And Get Hired

has written goals, with deadlines. To prove this, ask yourself -- do you have written goals? Probably not. Now go ask 10 friends. Only about one will answer yes, if they're honest. The point is this: only a tiny percentage of people take the effort to decide exactly what they want in life and then write it down in the form of clear, specific goals. This may explain why only a tiny percentage of people rise to the top in any profession. Why a tiny percentage are truly happy in their work. Why a tiny percentage sail from one rewarding job to the next, as if they were following a blueprint for success. Well, that's what written goals are -mini-blueprints for success. Think about it. Would you hire an architect to build you a home who refused to draw a blueprint? You'd think he was nuts, of course, and show him the door. And yet, I'll wager that more than 90% of people look for work with no written goals -- blueprints -- of any kind. Is it any wonder so many folks meet with so much frustration and take so long to get hired? OK. Let's get you a job search goal and then burn it into your brain, so you will get focused, get motivated and get hired. Fast. There are two steps to this goal-setting process. Step 1: Decide on the job you want and write it down Complete the following statement and write it on a 3x5 card: "It's July 5. I'm an outstanding JOB TITLE who adds value to the company lucky enough to have me. I'm making $XX,XXX in a stimulating environment, doing work I love, surrounded by co-workers I enjoy." Now, why is this important? Writing a goal forces you to get clear on what you want. After all, you'd never write down a goal like this: "Um, well, I'd like a job that pays the bills, maybe working in an office or something." Yet, that's typical of the response I get from many people when I ask, "What job are you looking for?" So, by writing down a specific employment goal with a due date (so your subconscious knows you're serious), you'll be ahead of the vast majority of other job seekers. But that's not enough ... Step 2: Reinforce your goal Writing down a goal is great. But if you want breakthrough results, you have to reinforce it until it's crystal clear in your mind's eye, like the North Star. To do this, read your goal out loud 10 times every morning. Then, put your 3x5 "goal card" in your pocket and refer to it during the day -- at least three times, if you can. Soon, your life will organize itself around finding your ideal job, as your subconscious goes to work. You'll start to see employment leads where before there appeared none. Example: someone you haven't heard from in 10 years will call, and the conversation will lead to a job interview. Or your hair dresser will volunteer the name of a hiring manager who's looking for someone like you. Or your next-door neighbor will bring back a hammer he borrowed last year ... along with a job lead. I've seen this sort of thing happen too many times to dismiss it as chance. Try this two-step process for the next 30 days and see for yourself. The worst that can happen is you'll have a very clear idea of the job you seek. At best, you'll be working.

PM Launches $17.5M For Stadium Upgrade

Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama officially launched the start of upgrading works at the National Stadium in Suva. As chief guest, he laid the foundation for the upgrade of the stadium. Commodore Bainimarama commended the hard work being put together for the project. As many of you know, the National Stadium was closed in May to enable the Fiji Sports Council to prepare the facilities for the commencement of the upgrade proper, he said. This initiative has been a long time coming. In 1979, the stadium, running track and main ground was built for $3.5 million. There may be some of you here today who remembered the first matches held in the then new stadium between Fiji and the New Zealand Maoris, England and France, and the 1979 South Pacific Games, Commodore Bainimarama remarked. He said those were wonderful moments from Fijis sporting past but now the time had come to work towards Fijis sporting future. This renovation and upgrade of the National Stadium is a partnership between the private sector and Government. The Sports Council has secured funding of $17.5 million from ANZ Bank which has been guaranteed by my Government. We all know how important sport is to all Fijians. We have a long and distinguished sporting history. It is only fitting, therefore, that we provide our athletes with the best possible facilities to enable them to

of a younger generation of athletes as well. Commodore Bainimarama said the new facilities would improve Fijis position to host regional and international tournaments. This will help encourage sports tourism, which will contribute towards Fijis economy and boost Fijis global presence. It can also lead to related infrastructure development and can provide new opportunities for publicprivate collaboration. Council chairman Peter Mazey was proud of what they had achieved. This is in line with the strategic direction of the Fiji Sports Council Board which is to ensure Fiji has international facilities in our country, FSC is grateful to our Government for the sports grant extended which has allowed this upgrade to take place. This is great for sports and sportspeople of Fiji, Mazey said. The upgrade will see the current ground extended to international measurement and standard to suit rugby, football and rugby league. The council will also ensure there is proper drainage in the ground in place to eradicate the flooding issue. The renovated stadium will include changing rooms, masseurs area, coachs room, players lounge, officials, referees, ball boys and girls and a media room. It will also have new tower lights that will meet international lighting requirements required to televise night games. Buckhurst and Bidesi parks will include three playing grounds, new changing rooms and showers, a small stadium and a 100-metre synthetic training track.

Whitecaps FC Mourn The Sudden Passing Of Les Sinnott

Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the British Columbia soccer community are in mourning this week following the sudden passing of BC Soccer first vice-president Les Sinnott near his home of Terrace, BC, last weekend. Originally from Liverpool, England, Sinnott immigrated to Canada and BC in 1965, where he first settled on Vancouvers North Shore. He served as a coach, referee, equipment manager, and club chair of North Shore Girls Soccer Club before becoming chair of North Shore Youth Soccer - BCs largest youth soccer district. In 2000, Sinnott moved to Northern BC, where he served as chair of Terrace Youth Soccer until 2002 and chair of the 2004 BC Boys B Provincial Cup tournament in Terrace, BC. Sinnott also served on the board of BC
'Caps mourn passing of BC Soccer first vice-president

Soccer since 2003. This included the roles of youth vice-president, chair of the governance committee, and first vice-president. He was also considered a tireless face of BC Soccer to members throughout Northern BC, as he regularly visited for district meetings and events. A member of the Canadian Soccer Associations Governance Committee since 2008, Sinnott also contributed to soccer nationally, as the CSA developed its important governance initiative. Sinnott is survived by his wife Debbie, daughters Melanie and Joanne, and their three grandchildren - Jordan, Leslie, and Lynnette. Whitecaps FC join BC Soccer and the entire BC and Canadian soccer community in extending their condolences to Sinnotts family, colleagues, and friends at this difficult time.

why the team is courting free agent Shane Doan, who is trying to make up his mind about leaving the Phoenix Coyotes. Doan paid a visit to Vancouver where he was introduced to Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini and general manager Mike Gillis by assistant GM Laurence Gilman, who used to work for the Coyotes. None of the principals would comment following arbitrator George Nicolaus decision but it appears Messier won a dispute about deferred money in his contract. Apparently, he had a clause in his contract that awarded him a future payment if the value of the Canucks franchise ever increased during the period of the contract. That must have frosted Aquilini, since he did not own the Canucks at the time but is now on the hook for a deal approved by former owner John McCaw. Losing the Messier case, though, pales in comparison to the news about Kesler, the Canucks No. 2 centre and the heart and soul of the team. He had the shoulder operation on May 8 and the wrist surgery, which was described as minor, in late June. Gillis said in a radio interview that Kesler was a little ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation, which led to hopes among the fans he might play early in the season presuming there is no lockout. But Keslers agent, Kurt Overhardt, threw cold water on that speculation. Its not happening, Overhardt told the media. Hes not ahead of schedule and theres no rushing him back. Hes on course to return in December and hes not returning until hes 100-per-cent. Dont expect him until December. NHL pool players please take note. There is nothing new to report on Gilliss attempts to trade goaltender Roberto Luongo. The only contenders remain the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers with the Panthers likely the preferred destination for Luongo, who has a no-trade clause in his contract.
Canucks Get Bad News On Keslers Recovery From Off-Season Surgery

This has not been a great week for the Vancouver Canucks as their woes at centre even included someone who is long retired. Mark Messier, who had a short, unhappy tour with the Canucks from 1997 to 2000 as part of his Hallof-Fame NHL career, was awarded $6-million (all currency U.S.) by an arbitrator as the result of a grievance against the Canucks, the media reported. The Canucks bought out Messier three years into a five-year contract and he finished his playing career in 2004 after a second stint with the New York Rangers. There was worse news involving the Canucks active centres. Ryan Keslers agent said he will not be able to play until December due to operations on his shoulder and wrist. This leaves the Canucks, once deep through the middle, with Henrik Sedin and a cast of working stiffs at centre, which is
