Tonga’s Prime Minister Lord Tu’ivakano stated that there will be no obstacle placed before the Fijian government representatives in court nor will Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara be denied counsel and the right to reply.As Fiji prepares extradition papers to get the former 3FIR Commanding Officer back to the country, Lord Tu’ivakano said the right of audience in His Majesty’s courts without political interference has

been a cornerstone of the King’s Peace for over 100 years. The Tongan Prime Minister also stated that there are proper procedures and obligations governing applications for extradition orders.He said the Tongan judges are not subject to influence from either the King or His Ministers nor are they encouraged to pass judgement according to their political beliefs.Lord Tu’ivakano said it is an offensive breach of protocol purposely to infer, for political gain. His Majesty’s offer of hospitality to his kinsman Ratu Tevita Mara as an offer of immunity.The Tongan Prime Minister has not said anything at this stage on whether he has been contacted by Commodore Bainimarama, and the statement that the Tongan navy vessel picked Mara up from within the Fiji waters.

HAND Him over DemANDs bAiNimArAmA under the sure protection of King George’s government, I shall be able to tell the truth, without fear of retribution, about the tragic RSSUHVVLRQ�ZKLFK�VWLÀHV�P\�EHORYHG�ODQG�´�he said.“When this hateful dictatorship has been eradicated, all of us who once served it shall answer to the Fijian people for the part we played and I will gladly submit to their verdict.”New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said

A former Fiji military leader who has fled to Tonga wants Fijians to “stand up” to interim Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama and claims the army would not turn its guns on the people to defend the regime. Fiji yesterday started extradition proceedings to have Lieutenant-Colonel Ratu Tevita Mara returned from Tonga, where he is being housed by the King after a Tongan Navy vessel picked him up at sea last week. The former Bainimarama supporter is on bail on a charge of making a seditious comment and due back in court on May 30. Commodore Bainimarama has reacted angrily to Colonel Mara being spirited out of the country and has begun a police hunt for anyone who helped him leave, saying it showed “a fundamental disloyalty to Fiji”. Colonel Mara said he left so he could force a regime change in a country he now compared to Nazi Germany where someone could be charged for voicing mild criticism in a private conversation. He told the Fiji-based Coup Fourpointfive blog the regime’s leaders now had the “look of desperation”.They all know their time is numbered. It is time for the people of Fiji to realize that they can stand up. “They can be sure no soldier will shoot a fellow Fijian ... to protect the evil (Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum) and his ignorant puppet Bainimarama. Democracy will return to Fiji soon.” Colonel Mara was a key figure in the December 2006 coup, when he commanded the Fiji army’s third infantry regiment. He said he intended to return to Fiji to answer to the people for his own actions in that coup. However, he would continue to criticize the regime until then. “I have left Fiji to force regime change. Khaiyum and his puppet Bainimarama must go.” Colonel Mara said he did not fear the extradition proceedings as he was now in a country where he could expect a fair trial.

‘i HAve left fiji to force regime cHANge’

“I am confident the law will protect me from extradition.” New Zealand is remaining at arm’s length, saying it is up to the two countries involved to resolve the dispute. Prime Minister John Key said New Zealand did not want to escalate tension and was reassured by Tonga’s statement that the independent judiciary would prevail. Foreign Minister Murray McCully said he was watching the affair closely to ensure it did not affect regional stability but did not believe intervention would be helpful. Commodore Bainimarama said Colonel Mara’s departure was “an act of a despicable nature” and urged Tonga not to risk damaging the close relations between the two countries by sheltering him. He also claimed Colonel Mara was being investigated over alleged missing funds from Fiji Pine - an investigation Colonel Mara said he did not know about and was an attempt to smear his name. Colonel Mara is the son of Fiji’s first Prime Minister, the late Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara. He is also the brother-in-law of the current President, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau, and has family links to the Tongan royals. The tension between Tonga and Fiji rose but both countries said they hoped to maintain a strong relationship. Commodore Bainimarama accused Tonga of breaching Fiji’s sovereignty by entering its waters and protecting a “fugitive”. Tonga’s Prime Minister, Lord Tu’ivakano, rejected any claim the kingdom was giving immunity to Colonel Mara, saying its courts would be free to decide on the extradition application without interference from the King or Parliament. He said it was offensive to imply “for political gain” that the King’s offer of hospitality to a “kinsman” amounted to an offer of immunity. Tonga has also denied entering Fiji’s waters to collect Colonel Mara. Mara said he had been out fishing when he got into difficulties and was picked up by the Tongan Navy.

Tongan Prime Minister Lord Tu’ivakano

Fiji Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has dismissed claims President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau will be removed from office. “It’s not true,” Cdre Bainimarama said in an interview. “Tell them (international media) not to be naughty.” Media had reported that Mr Nailatikau would be removed from office in the

fiji’s presiDeNt ‘woN’t be kickeD out’ - pmnext 24 hours after reports he helped a runaway senior officer, and relative, escape to Tonga. Political sources in Suva, told the media that Cdre Bainimarama was planning to sack Nailatikau, whose brother-in-law is Lieutenant Colonel Tevita Mara. Lt Col Mara, who headed the main infantry regiment, was on bail for sedition last week when a Tongan Navy boat picked him up and took him to Tonga. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka said the Tongan Navy’s extraction of Lt Col Mara from Kadavu over the weekend might have been a violation of Fiji’s sovereignty if it took place in her territorial waters. Mr Rabuka said if the location from which the SOS call made by Mara had been broadcast, it would determine whether he was in Fijian territorial waters. Fiji Navy Commander Francis Kean referred all questions to police, saying they were investigating.

Westpac Banking Corporation customers have a reason to smile as they can now access their bank accounts through their mobile phones. Westpac teamed up with mobile phone companies Digicel and Vodafone to bring banking to people through cell phones. “Today, it’s difficult to reach these people,” Westpac manager retail service and distribution Nirmala Namb’ar said at a press conference at their Suva branch. “If you solve that problem, you are enabling them to enter the economy.” Westpac launched its mobile banking service with the help of technology. Ms Namb’ar explained the features of the

new bank mobile service. “Westpac is on an expansion mode now and as part of serving its customers with new financial products and modern banking methods based on technology. “They launched this mobile banking platform which can be used to check account balances, transfer funds, pay bills, locate nearby ATM and branches etc. “In addition customers of Westpac bank can request cheque books, stop cheque request, view transaction history,” Ms Namb’ar said. The bank intends to add new services like online ticket booking, credit card bill payment, etc, in the future.

Solomon Airlines hopes to have its own Airbus A320 operating to Fiji. The leased A320 will operate between Honiara and Brisbane four times a week and there are also plans to utilise the aircraft to commence flights to Papua New Guinea and Fiji potentially via Vanuatu. The aircraft, leased from Sky Leasing in Tolluca, Mexico, is in Melbourne now undergoing a paint job as well as officially registering and certifying the aircraft is airworthy.Last Tuesday, the aircraft flew from Tuscon in Arizona where it was kept in storage for about 18 months, to Honolulu, then on to Nadi for an overnight. It flew to Melbourne a day later to undergo a few changes plus other final checks and registration before it can start flying for Solomon Airlines. A spokesperson for the airline said: “Solomon Airlines has had the services of an ex-Qantas senior engineering manager assisting in overseeing the work scopes in Tolluca and has advised Solomon Airlines that the aircraft is in a very good shape, and had no

hesitation in recommending the acceptance of the delivery after more than months in the hangar there under a maintenance organisation called InterJet.” The A320 is expected to start flying under the Solomon Airlines banner sometime in July subject to all certification and training processes being approved. The aircraft carries 20 business class and 120 economy class passengers. It will be fully controlled by Solomon Airlines’ pilots and cabin crew and will be registered under the Civil Aviation Authority of Solomon Islands registry. Solomon Airlines currently operates between Honiara and Nadi under a code-share arrangement with Air Niugini, on an Air Niugini aircraft. Air Pacific also flies between Nadi and Honiara via Port Vila, Vanuatu.

$80,000 To replace caBleSWater Authority of Fiji (WAF) spent $70,000 to $80,000 to replace electrical cables stolen from the Wainibuku Pumping Station in Nasinu last weekend. The WAF, while requesting members of the public to report to the police any suspicious activity at or near its facilities, said such activities created unnecessary expenses for them. This follows the theft of electrical cables from one of its major water pumping stations in Nasinu. It has temporarily affected water supply to parts of Nasinu and Suva. Thieves cut the lengths of copper cables that connect the booster pumps and the electrical switchboards that control the power supply. The theft occurred at the Wainibuku pumping station outside 9 Miles. Police are investigating the incident which has shutdown one of the two pumps and has resulted in the reduction of the water level at the Tovata Reservoir. It supplies water to smaller service reservoirs in the Nasinu area and parts of Suva. The WAF’s acting general manager customer services Michelle Tevita-Singh

said they encountered unnecessary costs as a result of such thefts. “While we will be increasing our security presence at our facilities; we seek the help of members of the public to report any suspicious activity.”“It will help us eliminate thefts from our facilities.” “When the pumps are down as a result of these thefts supply will be affected to our customers so it’s in everybody’s interest that we cooperate in this matter.” Two weeks ago thieves also removed lengths of electrical cables from two switchboards in the same location. Mrs Tevita-Singh said under the Water Authority of Fiji Promulgation 2007, it’s an offence to tamper with WAF’s water and sewerage systems which included manhole covers, cables, water meters, pipes and valves. Those found guilty of the above can be jailed or given a heavy fine. Parts of Nasinu are experiencing supply disruptions including Makoi, Tuirara, Naveiwakau, Caubati, Newtown, Tacirua and Cunningham. Meanwhile, the WAF production team in

Nadi will be repairing a 200mm water main along the Nadi Back Road. During the course of their work supply will be disrupted to areas like Koroivolu, Vunayasi, Koromakawa, Navo, Malolo, Korociri, Nalagi settlement and areas outside Nadi Town.

Government will recruit more teachers into the education system, says Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama. He said some retired teachers could have their jobs back if there was a need to ensure that rural island children get the education they needed. Commodore Bainimarama who is on tour of Kadavu, made the revelation to villagers of Buliya in Ono. He has also directed the Ministry of Education to build schools for classes one to four for all villages in Kadavu. He gave the directive while addressing villagers. He said this would ensure the full protection of children who would not have to leave the comfort of their homes to attend boarding schools. While meeting villagers after visiting government projects in the area, Commodore Bainimarama was briefed on the need for education and the difficulties villagers faced in sending their children

to schools that were far from the village. He was asked whether Government could help. Commodore Bainimarama then told villagers that the Ministry of Education would work on establishing schools for their children from Class 1 to Class 4. “Government will expand the number of teachers’ intake into the education system in the country if there is a need to do that,” Commodore Bainimarama said. “Even if it means decreasing other Government intakes to ensure that we have enough teachers in the education system. “At the same time the Government will also look at recruiting retired teachers

who can come back to help with teaching your young children.” He thanked the villagers for their support and said Government was keen to see that infrastructure and important areas of development were addressed so that rural dwellers also received services they needed. He was accompanied by Commissioner Eastern Lieutenant-Colonel Neumi Leweni and other senior Government officials. The Prime Minister would get the chance to see first-hand Government-funded projects on the island and meet civil servants and members of the public during the tour.


Solicitor General, Christopher Pryde stressed that Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara will receive a fair hearing in the Fiji court as there is no interference into the judiciary by the government.Pryde said from time to time, different people including the overseas media make the claims and create a perception that the courts in Fiji are being interfered with.The application for the extradition of Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara from Tonga to Fiji had been sent by Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum to Tonga’s Prime Minister, Lord Tu’ivakano.Solicitor General, Christopher Pryde said the Tongan Extradition Act stated that it is the Tongan Prime Minister that has the authority to proceed on a case of extradition.Pryde said all documentation required under the Tongan Extradition Act has been supplied to the Tongan authorities and the government looks forward to this case being expedited.Meanwhile the Tongan government said its navy carried out a simple rescue mission and there was no deliberate plot to take Ratu Tevita out of Fiji.Communications Director for Tonga’s Prime Minister, Ahongalu Fusimalohi told Radio Australia that there is nothing sinister about what has happened. However Fiji’s Prime Minister, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has made it clear that Ratu Tevita Mara was illegally extracted from the Fiji waters, one nautical mile Northwest of Cape Washington in Kadavu.When questioned on the Tongan Navy entering the Fiji waters, Fusimalohi said he has to speak to the country’s navy. Fusimalohi also stressed that Tonga has not granted immunity to Ratu Tevita Mara.

All interested in taking advantage of the pigeon shooting this season must have a licence. Minister for Primary Industries Joketani Cokanasiga said it was stipulated under Section 9, Subsection (1), (2) and (3) that every person intending to kill or take game during this opening season should carry a valid “License to kill or Take Game” for 2011. The 2011 Pigeon Shooting season is from May 15 to June 15. “The licence should be carried at all times and produced on demand whilst engaged in killing or taking game,” Mr Cokanasiga said. “Game Rangers with proper identification cards will be appointed to ensure that people taking game birds are licensed and that they are within the allowed number of birds per day”. Mr Cokanasiga said a person would be allowed to kill a maximum of five pigeons in any one day during the open season.

The Times reported that Shriver moved out of the family’s Brentwood mansion earlier this year after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the child is his. “After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement issued to the newspaper. “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

“I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time,” the statement concluded. “While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.” A spokesman for Schwarzenegger did not immediately return a phone call and e-mail from The Associated Press today.A spokesman for the former first lady told the Times she had no comment.The Times did not publish the former staffer’s name or that of her child, but said the staff member worked for the family for 20 years and retired in January. In an interview before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man – her husband at the time – was the child’s father. She said she voluntarily left her position with the couple “on good terms.” When the Times later informed the woman of the governor’s statement, she declined to comment further.

mara BanFiji’s Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama says it is up to the New Zealand government to lift its travel ban on Fiji fugitive and former 3FIR Commander Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara.Prime Minister Bainimarama’s comment follows his Kiwi counterpart, John Key’s words earlier that his government is considering easing Mara’s travel ban.Although Key told the New Zealand media of their consideration, he also said they will still continue to stay out of the issue between Fiji and Tonga.Mara is currently in Nukualofa where he has been a guest of the King of Tonga after being whisked away by the Tongan Navy off Ono-i-Lau, south of the Lau group. The Fiji government filed extradition orders to Tonga which it’s Prime Minister, Lord Tu’ivakano is expected to respond to.The Lau chief is charged with one count of seditious offence and has a court date at the Suva Magistrates court for May 31.

InTernaTIonal nurSeS Day

Hundreds of nurses holding their banners high marched from the Colonial War Memorial Hospital to the Fiji Nursing Association Hall in Suva to commemorate International Nurses Day.The theme of this year’s celebration is “Closing the Gap and Improving Access and Equity.”The annual event commemorates the birth of the nursing profession and the founder of nursing Florence Nightingale.Director Nursing Silina Ledua who was also chief guest at the celebrations noted that nurses were frontrunners in the delivery of health service.Nurses are major players in “closing the gap” between people and health services.“The theme reflects how nurses play a significant role in closing that gap between various population groups in their accessibility and equity in terms of health service,” Ms Ledua said.“And because we are the biggest work force, we are also present right across the board, 24/7 in terms of our delivery system.“That is why we play an important role in closing that gap where communities have access to health service through nursing stations, through health centers, through sub-divisional hospitals and even when it comes to the tertiary institutions and divisional hospitals.”She added the Fijian Government remains committed to the nursing profession, focusing on the various educational needs and capacity building aspects to enhance the nursing career and lift the standards of nursing in the country.Government is also committed to improving nurses’ working conditions.

Tongan goVernmenT Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary for Justice Mr Christopher Pryde has confirmed that an application for the extradition of Ratu Tevita Mara from Tonga to Fiji has been sent from the Fiji Attorney-General to the Prime Minister of Tonga.“The Tongan Extradition Act states that it is the (Tongan) Prime Minister that has the authority to proceed on a case of extradition and so the request has been made to the Tongan Prime Minister,” he said.“All documentation required under the Tongan Extradition Act, as amended, has been supplied to the Tongan authorities and we look forward to this case being expedited,” he said.In response to claims by Ratu Mara that

he would not receive a fair hearing in the courts of Fiji, Mr Pryde stated that: “There is a clear case for him to answer and Ratu Mara can be confident that he will receive a fair hearing in Fiji. After all, it was the very judiciary that he claims is corrupt that gave him bail.From time to time, different people, including overseas media, make claims that the courts in Fiji are being interfered with however; no one is able to ever give any specific examples of this. Indeed, they cannot because they are not. If the courts were being interfered with, the Government, and its related agencies, would win every case, it does not. I would urge these people to read the judgments of the courts which are public documents.”

Dalo and cassava farmers are being warned not to entertain buyers trying to buy their produce below the regulated price. The Fiji- Agro Processors Association reveals that numerous middlemen, processors and exporters have approached farmers offering prices below the set price. Association chair, Brij Lal says farmers should not accept anything below the agreed market rate where Pink Dalo is being sold for $1.20 a kilo, other varieties at $0.80 a kilo and cassava at $0.40 a kilo. Lal says the pricing model has factored in the middleman’s commission, the transport costs and all other expenses right up to the export market. The Association is working on a monitoring process to find people trying to by-pass the system.

Suva Magistrates Court granted the Certificate of Authentication for the extradition of Roko Ului for him to be brought to Fiji for trial. The State will now hand the application to the Tongan government which will go through their legal system before a decision is made in regards to the extradition order.

Eighty four percent of the children in Fiji under the age of six have dental issues every year.These are the revelations made in the latest National Oral Health survey conducted in 2004 by the Ministry of Health.Ministry spokesman, Peni Namotu said the issue of tooth decay in Fiji has always affected the beautiful smiles of our children.He said it is important for the parents and teachers to play their supervisory role in educating the children on how to maintain good teeth.“It is a must for teacher in primary school to teach the children the techniques of proper brushing.” Namotu said.He said in its efforts to improve the dental

issues in the country, the Ministry of Health took a concerted effort by taking Oral Health Week to rural areas.Namotu said the Ministry launched the National Oral Health Week in Vuna in Taveuni with the theme ‘Bula 5-20 smile’.He said the theme means all five-year-old children should have 20 healthy teeth.“The reason for us to take National Oral Health Week to Taveuni is to take health to grass root level creating awareness and education on the importance of oral health.” Namotu said.He added in previous years the focus was mainly in urban areas but the ministry this year thought it necessary to move it to rural area because of the population demand.

Fiji Rugby Union chief executive officer Keni Dakuidreketi has been given the green light to travel overseas after his passport was given to him by the Suva High Court.Dakuidreketi’s defense counsel Wylie Clark had earlier asked for his client’s passport to be released from the court registry.High Court judge Justice Daniel Goundar allowed Wylie’s request and ordered that Dakuidreketi’s passport be given to him. Justice Goundar then ordered Dakuidreketi to surrender his passport upon his return from his trip on May 27.The former Minister for Sports appeared alongside former Native Lands Trust Board General Manager Kalivati Bakani charged with three counts of fraudulent conversion and abuse of office.The two men are alleged to have defrauded NLTB of its Trust Funds of $2.6million and Government Grant valued at $1million from March 31 in 2004 to November 10, 2005.

The building will house the Engineering, Science and Technology disciplines including a workshop for students’ practical. Vice-Chancellor Dr Ganesh Chand in opening the centre said since the establishment of the then Fiji Institute of Technology in 1992, they had expanded operations. Dr Chand said the centre showed the university’s intention to expand educational courses in the Northern Division to benefit students who could not move to Suva. Following the merger of the National Training and Productivity Centre, Dr Chand said with their presence in Labasa, students from the centre would also use the facilities. “Now that we’re one entity, we will be sharing the space for short programmes and course.” Dr Chand said the intention of the university was to permanently establish

turtles protected by resort worKers

About 35 baby turtles were found at the Mana Island Resort this week. Marine activities attendee Timoci Nasilasila said the turtles were found by a guest who immediately reported the matter. He said the resort had been protecting a lot of turtles by keeping them at a safe centre. “We will be releasing two turtles into the ocean but we have tags on them so that we can identify them when we look for them in the sea,” Mr Nasilasila said. “The returnee guests normally do the honours of releasing the turtles.” Resort owner Isao Ide said he was happy with the programmes provided at the resort especially since most of them dealt with promoting and conserving the marine wildlife and the environment.

Fiji has ‘sliM chance’ over extradition, says tonga

The Tongan Government says Fiji has a slim chance of extraditing a former top military man who has sought refuge in the Kingdom.Lieutenant Colonel Ratu Tevita Mara has fled to Tonga from Fiji because he says he has been wrongly charged with attempted mutiny and sedition.Fiji’s military leader Frank Bainimarama has accused Tonga of illegally sending a navy patrol boat into his country’s waters to help Lt Col Mara flee justice.Commodore Bainimarama says the “illegal extraction” took place last week, when a Tongan patrol vessel picked up Lt Col Mara off Fiji’s Kadavu Island.Tonga’s Minister for Public Enterprise, Clive Edwards, has told the reporter that his country has not breached Fiji’s sovereignty as claimed by Commodore Bainimarama.The Fiji Government has filed a formal legal request with Tonga to have him extradited.Mr Edwards says he does not know what will happen.

“From looking at the law Fiji would have a slim chance of getting him back,” he said.Commodore Bainimarama has also accused Lt Col Mara him of being involved in the theft of $US1.7 million (3 million Fijian dollars) from the Fiji Pine Trust.Lt Col Mara has rejected the allegations.“He has accused me of being under investigation for the disappearance of three million dollars from the Fiji Pine board,” Lt Col Mara said. “These are the desperate attempts by a mentally and morally bankrupt man to smear the Mara name.”Lt Col Mara says he does not want to return to Fiji to face these charges because he is concerned about the interim Attorney General’s interference with the judiciary.Lt Col Mara is now under the protection of the royal household in Tonga.diplomatic relationsThe leader of Tonga’s opposition party says the rescue of Lt Col Mara by a Tongan patrol boat could seriously affect diplomatic relations with Fiji.

Democratic Party leader Akilisi Pohiva also says Lt Col Mara’s presence in the Kingdom is justified on humanitarian grounds.Lt Col Mara has called for regime change in Fiji after he was rescued at sea by a Tongan patrol boat in what Fiji says was Fijian territorial waters.Mr Pohiva said he is concerned over the Tongan Government’s decision to pick him from Fijian waters.“For the Tongan vessel to enter Fiji’s waters to rescue someone who is alleged to have committed a criminal offence clearly breaches the international law or diplomatic relationship between the Tongan Government and Fiji,” he said.australia, nZ stanceMeanwhile, Australia has taken New Zealand’s stand on the issue of Lt Col Mara fleeing to Tonga where he is seeking asylum.Australia’s Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Island Affairs, Richard Marles, said the matter is for Fiji and Tonga to work out.

draFt elections legislation presented to council

Fiji and braZil Further discuss agriculture

The Elections Office is now presenting proposed electoral changes to the provincial councils. The Cakaudrove Provincial was re-assured the 2014 General Elections will go ahead as promised with preparatory works underway. Roko Tui Cakadrove Ro Aca Mataitini told the reporter that Cakaudove is the first province to be presented with the changes

Fiji and Brazil will hold further discussions on technical cooperation in agriculture and renewable energy – at the margins of the Food and Agriculture Organisation Council meeting in Rome next month. Fiji’s Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs Solo Mara met with Brazil’s Agricultural Research Organisation

and officials will be going around to all other provincial meetings. He says one of the many suggestions is the compulsory registration of all citizens over the age of 18, but without the need for compulsory voting. Ro Aca says the elections office in their presentation proposed one day voting as opposed to seven days.

President Pedro Arraes to discuss the opportunities of cooperation between the two countries. Mara states that despite the geographical distance between the two countries, there are common challenges both countries face which they could cooperate on, and benefit from each other’s experiences.

Drinking of grog in all villages in Bua has been strictly prohibited following the outbreak of typhoid.Ministry of Health spokesman, Peni Namotu said this is to allow villagers to stay indoors and practice clean hygiene.Namotu said a total of 41 cases of typhoid have been recorded in Bua which by far is the highest in Fiji.“A task force has been activated by Commissioner Northern last Friday and they have discussed ways to monitor the outbreak in the Bua subdivision.” he said.Namotu said the Public Health Emergency which was declared last week will be uplifted on May 25 subject to the review of the number of new cases.With the second school term about to resume Namotu added that the outbreak has not affected the school dates however, children have been reminded to take extra care while in school.

Selected inmates from the Ba and Lautoka corrections centre are conducting i-Taukei yaqona ceremony and dances at the Nadi International Airport. They participate in the exercise every time an important government guest arrives in the country. This is part of their rehabilitation programme under the Yellow Ribbon Project. In a joint venture between the Nadi Town Council, Nadi International Airport executives and the Fiji Corrections Service (FCS), 20 inmates from the corrections centres will be at the airport. They will be there to welcome the arrival of the mayor of Hangzhou, the largest province in eastern China. Nadi International Airport general manager Joe Grey said the move by the council and FCS to include inmates in the programme was “a great leap forward” as they tried to educate the communities in giving a second chance to inmates.

yellow ribbon project helps inMates

“Last year they were part of our volleyball competition,” he said. “This year we’ve decided not only should we see them participating in sports activities. We should include them in other activities like the welcoming ceremonies at the airport to VIP guests. The exposure would also prompt inbound operators and other stakeholders to involve the inmates in other programmes. “This is going to be good as most of the inbound operators have large groups coming in,” he said. “To make a difference and to give these people a second chance, tour operators can ask for the inmates to perform the traditional yaqona ceremony and a meke, to welcome their guests,” he said. FCS Western Division Assistant Superintendent Oliver Fisher said the inclusion of the inmates in such

programmes was timely considering the efforts by Government to change the mindset of people. “I’m happy that the council and the Nadi International Airport have faith in us. “This is a great initiative by the two organisations as we build on the Yellow Ribbon Project Campaign,” ASP Fisher said.

Sugar Cane Growers Council Acting Chief Executive, Sundresh Chetty said that they have received confirmation from the Tribunal. The Lautoka Mill will start crushing from June 7th while Penang mill in Rakiraki and Rarawai mill in Ba will commence crushing from the 21st.The Tribunal has determined that Labasa mill will start crushing from July 6th as the mill requires more time to complete maintenance. The harvesting will start a day before the crushing dates.Chetty says they are continuously having talks with Fiji Sugar Corporation to ensure that the crushing season starts smoothly.

sitiveni rabuKa: tevita should

return and ‘Face the Music’

Former Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka believes that fugitive, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara must return to Fiji and ‘face the music’.The man who made the headlines for staging Fiji’s first ever coup in May 1987 made the comments in an interview with New Zealand radio station.Rabuka told the station that like all responsible citizens, Mara must face the

courts.“Perhaps he has his own doubts about the balance in the courts but that is a personal thing on his mind.” Rabuka said.Rabuka said that it would be sad if international relations between Tonga and Fiji were damaged because of this.Mara fled to Tonga after being charged with inciting mutiny and seditious offence by the Fiji courts.Meanwhile the Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary for Justice in Fiji Christopher Pryde have confirmed that an application for the extradition of Ratu Tevita Mara from Tonga has been sent to the Tongan Prime Minister.Pryde said that all documentation required under the Tongan Extradition Act, as amended, had been supplied to the Tongan authorities and they were looking forward to the extradition case being expedited.Pryde said Mara would receive a fair trial in Fiji.“There is a clear case for him to answer and Ratu Mara can be confident that he will receive a fair hearing in Fiji. After all, it was the very judiciary that he claims is corrupt that gave him bail,” said Pryde.

Painful details of the last moments of those killed in the Christchurch earthquake have been described at the first mass inquest into the tragedy.The inquest is trying to determine the identities of nine quake victims whose remains have not been found.

Circumstantial evidence, including recovered house-keys, was given – placing the victims at the CTV building around the time of the quake.The CTV building was where the majority of the earthquake’s 181 victims died.Because there was an English-language school in the CTV building, many foreigners were among the dead.On the coroner’s list are four Chinese, a Filipino, and four New Zealanders - two of whom came from Peru and Russia.The country’s chief coroner, Neil MacLean says confirmation of their deaths will allow families some closure.“It’s difficult to reach any clear conclusion as to any more details about the cause of death,” he said.“But to state the obvious, it must have been the result of multiple traumatic injuries sustained when the earthquake struck.”

Papua New Guinea’s Government has again been forced to dispel rumours that Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare has died.Seventy-five-year-old Sir Michael remains in intensive care in a Singapore hospital after undergoing heart surgery last month.Over the weekend, a rumour of his death had quickly spread across the country.The rumours have led the acting Prime Minister, Sam Abal, to call a press conference to dispel it as malicious gossip.“He’s still in the ICU and at any time, in a day or so, we expect him to move out of the ICU area,” he said.Mr Abal also says there should be a decision in coming days on the Australian Government’s proposal to establish a regional processing centre for asylum seekers in PNG.

Tonga’s new Prime Minister Lord Tu’ivakano will not attend the historical opening of the Tonga Legislative Assembly which was rescheduled to Thursday, June 2, as he will be away on an overseas trip.The 2011 session is the first under a reformed system of government with a new composition of parliament that was elected on 25 November 2010.The Prime Minister Lord Tu’ivakano said on Thursday that the opening of the 2011 parliament was originally scheduled for the last week of May, but it clashed with other events, including the return of King George Tupou V after he attended the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Katherine Middleton, and also the celebration of the May 29th birthday of Tonga’s queen mother Queen Halaevalu Mata’aho.A new date for the opening of parliament was set on June 2, but the Prime Minister will not be in Tonga then.Under the reformed government the King will no longer have any executive involvement in Cabinet other than appointing the elected Prime Minister and also the Cabinet Members chosen by the Prime Minister.

5 secrets to getting a job aFter graduationSoon students will close the book on their college careers and begin writing the next chapter of their lives. Some will turn to internships, co-op positions and graduate schools, while others will enter the workforce. For some, the professional workplace will be an easy adaptation. Unfortunately, others will learn tough lessons along the way.When tapped for advice by job-seeking students on securing employment after graduation, my response starts to sound like a broken record: be a professional.Every year results continue to be an unpleasant surprise. Many new college grads don’t understand how to conduct themselves in the professional workplace.The survey shows dangerous trends for new employees and reinforces some of the same things that career counselors have been saying for years.This year’s college graduates can use some of what we have found to locate and keep meaningful employment in this challenging job market. Here are top five tips for job seekers:��)RUJHW�)DFHERRN�DQG�7DNH�D�7H[WLQJ�7LPHRXWRespondents told us last year that

Internet technology (IT) abuses are beginning to get out of hand. New employees just can’t help themselves from using social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter when they should be working. Employers also reported that text messaging at inappropriate times has seen a spike. Seeing Suzy Q’s status updates is not worth a pink slip. Get off of Facebook and Twitter during work hours.��$FFHSW�5HVSRQVLELOLW\�IRU�<RXU�$FWLRQVWe asked respondents to rank the important qualities that recent college graduates should possess. HR pros and business leaders said clearly that new employees should accept personal responsibility for decisions and actions. Why should an employer hire an individual who won’t? Other qualities deemed important included competency in verbal and written communication, projecting a positive image, and thinking and acting independently.��'RQ¶W�:RUU\�$ERXW�3URPRWLRQ�5LJKW�$ZD\The most eye-opening results came when we asked which qualities were found in first-year, college-educated employees. Respondents ranked categories from one to five, with one being “rare”

and five being “common.” The only quality that earned more than four was employees’ concern for opportunities for advancement. While this is a valid worry for seasoned workers, it should not take first place among new hires.��8QGHUVWDQG�WKH��$¶V�RI�3URIHVVLRQDOLVP��$UWLFXODWLRQ�RI�7KRXJKWV��$WWLWXGH�DQG�$SSHDUDQFH�According to the survey results, employers are assessing a candidate’s professionalism 96.3 percent of the time before making any hiring decisions. The top three ways employers judge professionalism are by examining one’s ability to communicate; judging ones attitude or demeanor; and by evaluating one’s appearance. Job seekers need to showcase these skills to the best of their ability during a job interview. For men, that means putting on a coat and a tie. For young women, it means understanding how to dress for the professional workplace. Plunging necklines and skimpy outfits degrade the credibility of the individual as well as the company. Employees should understand that there are no fashion awards at stake in the professional workplace. While personal style is applauded, it needs to be within the

acceptable dress code. Ask yourself, would your grandmother approve of what you’re wearing?��<RX�$UH�1RW�(QWLWOHGWe asked if newly employed, college-educated workers’ sense of entitlement had increased, decreased or stayed the same during the past five years. Entitlement, defined as expecting rewards without putting in the effort to merit them, is perceived to be on the rise. More than half of all respondents said they had seen an increase in workers’ sense of entitlement. Roughly a third of respondents said it remained the same. Only six percent said it had decreased. There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but many college students around the nation seem not to be getting that message.The job market is tough right now on job-seekers. With unemployment hovering around 10 percent, companies have the luxury of taking only the strongest, most professional candidates. To land a job in this economy you’ll need to suit up, show up on time, and do yourself a favor by turning off your cell phone. Good luck!

Fugitive’s escape routeThirty-six-year-old Apisai Bolatuku, who works for the Nagigia Island Resort in Kadavu, cannot believe that he was involved in the escape plan for former Republic of Fiji Military Forces 3FIR Commander, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara. The fact that he was one of the last locals to be in contact with Ratu Tevita has made the shy worker a talking point in the community. He said that he was surprised to find out that the man he had transported in the resort’s punt from the waterfront to a fishing launch out at sea was the same Ratu Tevita, better known as Roko Ului. Roko Ului escaped to Tonga on a Tongan navy vessel that same day. “It was close to 9am when I was asked to take Ratu Tevita and a European man to the boat that was berthed out at sea,” Mr Bolatuku said. “It was my normal job to be transporting passengers from the hotel to their boats. The two said that they were going out fishing. Most come here come to dive or go out fishing and they come to sleep at the hotel.

“I took them to the boat and once they had boarded the launch, I turned back to shore. We watched as the boat moved out to sea and we could see it for about three hours out at sea before it disappeared.” Mr Bolatuku said they were surprised to hear in the news that Ratu Tevita had escaped to Tonga in a Tongan naval boat that had picked him from the Kadavu waters. “We were surprised to find out that he had boarded a Tongan naval boat,” he said. “Some of the fishermen around here were out at sea and they saw the naval boat around there.” Meanwhile, the Tongan government is yet to make an announcement on what step they would take in regards to the extradition papers being served on Prime Minister Lord Tu’ivakano for Ratu Tevita’s extradition back to Fiji to face charges of sedition. A bench warrant had been issued earlier on Tuesday for Ratu Tevita’s arrest because he had breached his bail conditions.

Miss India Australia Ankita Cheryl has clinched the title of Miss India Worldwide 2011 beating 25 Indian women competing for the title in Abu Dhabi. Cheryl received a cash prize of 100,000 dirhams (USD 27,224) in addition to modeling contracts and sponsor prizes. Miss India USA was the first runner-up while Anuradha Devika from Trinidad was crowned the second runner-up. The pageant consisted of a gown segment, talent show and question-and-answer session.Participants were judged on personality, talent, stage presence, confidence and self belief. The contest, launched in 1990 to bring Indians from around the world together to represent culture and talent, is produced by the New York-based organisation IFC.

The venerable Sahara hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip, where Elvis Presley stayed while filming “Viva Las Vegas” and the Beatles stayed when they performed in Sin City, dealt to its final gamblers and checked out its last guests Monday after six decades.Visitors streamed through the casino one last time, picking up souvenirs at a near-empty gift shop, playing $10 blackjack and visiting with dealers and bartenders one last time before officials planned to shut the doors at 2 p.m.“It’s kind of visiting the past,” said 35-year-old Misty Davis of Las Vegas, who said the Sahara was the first casino she visited when she was 21, with her husband and mother to celebrate her one-year wedding anniversary.Davis, who bought four decks of cards Monday, said she teared up as she walked in and remembered the casino’s friendly atmosphere. She also said she talked with a dealer whom she remembered from years ago.“I remember him from when I first came here because he taught me how to play blackjack,” she said.The Sahara is remembered as one of the Rat Pack’s favorite haunts and where an

emphasis of lounge acts set standards for other joints that followed. Don Rickles, Johnny Carson and Louis Prima entertained here, and its first performance was from Ray Bolger, who played the scarecrow in “The Wizard of Oz.”Owners SBE Entertainment decided earlier this year it was no longer economically viable to keep the casino open on the north side of the Strip, where several projects have been planned but shuttered the past few years.Instead of celebrities and lounge acts, the Sahara became known in recent years as home to round-the-clock $1 blackjack, the NASCAR Cafe with a six-pound burrito eating challenge and a replica of Dale Earnhardt’s race car that sat Monday with a flat tire, dents in its hood and coins thrown inside.Unlike other casino closings in Sin City that make way for newer projects, it’s not clear what the future of the site will be. Past hotels, including the Stardust, Landmark and Bordwalk, were razed to make way for new developments. SBE Entertainment have not announced their plans.Casino officials gave away the last of the Sahara’s progressive jackpot cash Friday, awarding 63 winners about $500 each. The

free drawings started a weekend of visitors streaming through the Moroccan-themed casino, snapping photos and nabbing $1 chips as keepsakes.Michael Green, a history professor at the College of Southern Nevada who co-wrote a book on Las Vegas’ first 100 years, said the Sahara was popular with Hollywood stars like John Wayne and Fred MacMurray, and Presley could be seen here pulling slots.But Green said that while the Sahara will be remembered for its lounges and theme, its owners didn’t do enough to keep it current with other resorts as the Strip boomed in the 1990s and early 2000s.

SOMALI pirates received a ransom of $US7 million ($6.6 million) for the release of two Spanish hostages held for four-and-a-half months, a pirate claims. “The money was left by air on an Italian building (controlled by pirates)”, said Abdi Yare, a pirate operating from the northeast Somali port of Hobyo.An elder in Hobyo, Mohamed Duale, said the ransom payment was dropped by helicopter.“The ransom is the biggest I’ve ever heard of for the release of just two hostages,” said Yare, reached by telephone from Mogadishu.“The two hostages are free and waiting to be taken to their country.”The Spanish foreign ministry said it could not confirm the release, and the media reports quoting government sources gave no details.The online edition of El Pais, citing government sources, reported that the captain of the Vega 5, Juan Alfonso Rey Echeverri, and first officer Jose Alfonso Garcia were safe aboard a vessel of their employer, the Pecanova company.They were the only westerners aboard a Mozambican fishing vessel seized in the Mozambique Channel at the end of

December.The Indian navy had recovered the 140-tonne Vega 5 in March but the two Spaniards were not aboard. Photographs showed them on dry land surrounded by armed men.Thirteen of the 22 crew members - 12 Mozambicans and an Indonesian - were rescued after jumping into the water during the Indian raid.The other crew members, seven Mozambicans and two Indonesians, are missing and feared dead, according to Ecoterra, an advocacy group monitoring piracy in the Indian Ocean.Heavily armed pirates using speedboats operating from lawless Somalia have been attacking ships over a vast area for years despite the presence of dozens of warships from navies around the world.The largest ransoms paid to date, according to pirates, have been in exchange for the release of oil supertankers.A record was set last November when $US9 million was paid for the release of the Samho Dream, captured the previous April with a crew of five South Koreans and 19 Filipinos and a cargo of Iraqi oil headed for the US.

In that situation, the engines do not work,” Birger Knutsson of the rescue centre said.In a statement, the cruise firm said the boat was towed to the port of Nynashamn near Stockholm where it would organise the repatriation of its 1,800 passengers.Travelers were offered another cruise, valid until December 2012, the Geneva-

credIt card users are paying more for low rate; balance transfer cards after lenders hiked “hidden” interest rates to 19.18 per cent and cut honeymoon periods. They are now paying an extra 0.42 of a percentage point on the average hidden interest rate after the honeymoon period, financial comparison website RateCity said after reviewing its database of providers.Lenders use lower interest rates to hook new borrowers to transfer their other card debt.These balance transfer rates apply for a honeymoon period, before reverting to higher, permanent interest rates.Honeymoon periods have been shortened sharply over the past five months, with the average period now at 4.6 months instead of 11.5 months in December, the research shows.And there are 32 fewer balance transfer cards on offer since December, with just 21 offering a balance transfer interest rate of less than two per cent, seven fewer than six months ago.But across the board, card providers have improved their offers to lure borrowers, lowering the average balance transfer rate by 25 basis points in the past five months to 3.77 per cent.Exceptions include the balance transfer rate for Virgin Money’s No Annual Fee card, which jumped a whopping four per cent, and ANZ Banking Group’s (ANZ) low rate Mastercard, which increased 2.9 per cent.Sixty-four per cent of Australian adults had at least one credit card by March.Of those, 61 per cent intend to reduce the debt within six months, Veda Advantage’s most recent debt study shows.That task has become more difficult because interest rates on standard credit

cards have also jumped, with most lenders passing on the Reserve Bank’s 25 basis point hike last November, financial comparison website InfoChoice data showed.Eleven lenders made over-sized interest rate rises of up to 175 basis points, and only two cut interest rates, but only on specific products.The average interest rate on standard cards now sits at 17.73 per cent, up from 17.37 per cent in November.GE Money’s GO MasterCard is the most expensive, slugging borrowers an interest rate of 21.74 per cent, while Citibank charges 20.99 per cent on three products and Macquarie Bank charges 20.95 per cent on two.Lenders enjoy very healthy margins on credit cards and may be looking to recoup that as delinquencies rise, typically three years after a financial crisis, said TS Lim, a banking analyst with Southern Cross Equities.“After a crisis, interest rates go down to very low levels. Some people use their credit cards even more,” he said.“Three years after a crisis interest rates start to go up again and you can see a lot of pressure in that segment.”Recent reports from three major banks show card delinquencies are climbing.National Australia Bank (NAB) last week reported a seven basis point rise in 90-day delinquencies on both cards and personal loans to 1.16 per cent of its loan book for the six months to March 31.ANZ’s 90-day delinquencies on credit cards are at a similar level after rising 10 basis points during the same period, and Westpac’s rose two basis points to 1.14 per cent.CBA in February said 30-day delinquencies on credit cards had leveled off by December.

the US has reached its debt limit of $14.3 trillion (£8.6tn) and is taking measures to cut spending to avoid breaching it. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said that he will suspend investing into two large government pension funds. This delays any breaching of the limit to August 2nd.Congress is currently negotiating an increase to the limit, without which the US risks defaulting on its debt.“I have written to Congress on previous occasions regarding the importance of timely action to increase the debt limit in order to protect the full faith and credit of the United States and avoid catastrophic economic consequences for citizens,” Mr Geithner said in a letter to Congress.“I again urge Congress to act to increase the statutory debt limit as soon as possible.”The full amount of the suspended payments into the two pension funds will be restored if Congress raises the debt ceiling.Approaching deadlineThe US is cutting payments into the funds to allow it to keep borrowing while a deal on a higher debt ceiling is agreed. The US Congress has set a limit on the total level of national debt since 1917. The ceiling is periodically renegotiated but has become something of a political football as both Democrats and Republicans try to extract concessions in exchange for increasing the limit.Mr Geithner had previously set a deadline for a deal on increasing the debt ceiling to July 8th, but said that better tax receipts meant the deadline could be extended to August 2nd.Republicans want to tie any agreement on the US budget to spending cuts, especially in the healthcare programme.The Obama administration has proposed a $4tn package of budget cuts, but the Republicans say they do not go far enough.In April, ratings agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded its US credit rating outlook from stable to negative, increasing the likelihood that the rating could be cut within the next two years.

A GerMAn man has scooped the title of world’s best beard after impressing competition hosts in norway with his facial hair featuring a moose and a norwegian flag. Hairdresser Elmar Weisser, 47, beat 160 hopefuls from 15 countries to take first prize in the World Beard and Moustache Championship, held this year in Trondheim.Mr Weisser is a veteran of the competition, held every two years, having won several times before.He said his sister helped him with the creation, starting work at 7.00 am.“When my beard isn’t styled, it goes down to my waist. It is sort of folded up,” he said.Mr Weisser took the title in 2005 in Berlin with his beard in the form of the landmark Brandenburg Gate, and two years later won in England for his recreation of the Tower Bridge.He did not compete in the 2009 competition in Alaska.Germany and the US traditionally

“partial beard” compete for honours in the Natural, Chinese, Imperial, Musketeer, Sideburns and Freestyle categories.While those with full beards are divided into the groups Natural, Natural with styled moustache, Verdi, Garibaldi and Freestyle.

Meet the world’s fattest Indian girl, 6, standing just 3ft 5ins tall and weighing a staggering 14st 5lbs, who eats enough food each week to feed her entire village.Suman Khatun, from West Bengal, devours two giant plates of rice, two bowls of fried fish, two fried eggs and a couple of omelet’s - and that’s just for lunch, after two breakfasts of biscuits, bananas, rice and eggs, reports the media.Khatun, who weighs 5 times more than she should, is the same weight as two Kylie Minogues, a Great Dane or England rugby player Jonny Wilkinson.

Meet ‘wOrLd’S fAtteSt’ IndIAn GIrL, 6, whO eAtS AS MUch AS her entIre vILLAGe In A week!

Her mother Beli Bibi is not sure how much her daughter eats because immediately after lunch she drags herself across the road to demand more food from neighbors.Khatun was born a healthy 8lbs 9ozs but her appetite grew from the moment she began drinking milk.Her father, Jalal, earns 10 pounds GBP a week as a farmer, which he spends almost entirely on her greed, often leaving the rest of the family hungry.In one week Khatun gets through an astonishing 14kgs of rice, 8kgs of potatoes, 8kgs of fish and about 180

bananas, as well as snacking on her favorite Bengali sweets and cream cakes.The worryingly obese child gorges on enough food to feed an average family of four and still complains of hunger to her despairing parents.She does no exercise and is exhausted walking for any more than a minute, collapsing on a sweaty heap on the floor.“I’ve tried almost everything to control Suman’s appetite, but she cries so much that I have no choice but to give in. I’ve tried to be strict and refuse her food but she then rolls on the floor and starts eating mud instead. I can’t let my child eat mud so I end up giving her more food,” said her mom.The family doctor, Subodh Bandyopadhyay has been treating the girl since she was a baby.“It’s time the parents took the situation seriously. If she continues to eat the way she does, she might die of a cardiac arrest in the very near future. It’s a worrying time,” their doctor said.But it seems Khatun’s parents have no idea how to control their daughter.“We’ve done nothing wrong. We’re helpless,” said Bibi.‘’If she cries a lot, she gets ill and has nose bleeds, which is even worse. So we try to keep her happy and provide her with whatever she wants. Food makes her happy.

Camping with children can bring you back to the simplicity of nature. It increases your awareness of your surroundings and can refresh your appreciation for the many things that so often go unnoticed. Many things are learned and experienced for the first time during each day in the life of a child. Patience is almost unavoidable. It is so important to take the time to enjoy the journey of these new experiences with your child. In nature there are so many amazing things to discover.

OrGAnISerS plan to use world hypertension day to call for a national reduction in the use of salt in food to save lives. “There is a huge body of evidence showing that salt is the main cause of high blood pressure which kills thousands of people HDFK� \HDU� ±� PRVWO\� WKURXJK� SUHPDWXUH�strokes, heart attacks and heart failure,” says Jacqui Webster, author of a report in the Journal of Hypertension on salt reduction.In the UK, US and Canada, governments have set targets for more than 80 different food categories but only nine targets have been established in Australia.Ms Webster says new research shows how countries around the world are responding to this evidence by implementing national salt-reduction programs.“Some food companies in Australia have been reducing salt levels, but the government urgently needs to take tougher action to ensure faster progress,” she said.She said seven million people die and 1.5 billion suffer every year because of high blood pressure levels.“It is the single biggest risk factor for death worldwide, causing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease,” she said.“Salty diets increase the risk of developing high blood pressure and reducing population salt intakes is a highly cost effective strategy for reducing blood pressure levels with huge benefits for public health.”

Real estate tycoon and reality television star Donald Trump announced on Monday he would not seek the Republican nod to challenge US President Barack Obama in 2012, quelling months of speculation.“After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the presidency,” Trump said in a statement.“Business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.”Trump, 64, had openly flirted with a presidential run over the past few months and courted controversy by embracing discredited charges that Obama had concealed his birth certificate to hide that he was foreign born and thus ineligible for the White House.Public opinion polls had shown him running strong among a weak Republican field even though the US political establishment and pundits generally did not take him seriously.“This decision does not come easily or without regret,” said Trump. “I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election.”

Trump was the second high-profile potential candidate in days to rule out a Republican White House run after former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a particular favourite of religious conservatives, said over the weekend that he would not seek the party’s nomination.

ShAnGhAI dog owners have rushed to license their pets over the weekend as the city imposed a new one-dog policy in response to the growing popularity of man’s best friend. Hundreds of citizen’s micro chipped and vaccinated their pets as a new law took effect limiting households to a single canine in an effort to curb rampant barking, unscooped waste and the growing risk of dog attacks, according to state media.To encourage more pet owners to license their dogs, the government of the commercial metropolis slashed the cost of the permits in the city centre to 500 yuan ($73) from the previous 2,000 yuan, the Shanghai Daily said.Residents who owned two or more dogs before Sunday will be allowed to keep them but must maintain each dog’s permit, state media reported.Dog ownership has grown alongside China’s fast-expanding middle class with official estimates putting Shanghai’s pet dog population at 800,000. Previous reports have said only a quarter of that number is registered.The city’s human population was more than 19 million in 2009, according to the government.

According to the Food Standards Agency, eggs are an excellent source of protein to help you lose belly fat. Eggs have often been seen as the bad guy because they have so much cholesterol. Eggs contain dietary cholesterol which has been shown not to increase the levels in your body. Eggs also contain a large amount of Vitamin B12, which has been proven to be a good supplement to increase weight lost. Low-fat dairyAccording to an article in Obesity Research, people who consumed low-fat dairy products lose 70 percent more fat than non-dairy eaters. The important thing to remember when choosing dairy is to make sure it is low-fat, reduced-fat or fat-free. Good choices are nonfat yogurt and low-fat milk eaten at least three times per day. Dairy products can also help strengthen your bones and prevent bone loss.beansBeans could be called nature’s perfect food.

When you were a kid in school, you learned that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. You may also have OHDUQHG� WKDW� LW� ZDV� JUHDW� IXQ� WR� ¿OO� XS�your squirt guns with water, at least until the principal caught you. What you may not have learned, however, was that you need water to be a healthy human being. why you need to drink waterYour body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs. Signs of dehydrationYou lose water through urination, respiration, and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you are sedentary. Diuretics, such as caffeine pills and alcohol, result in the need to drink more water because they trick your body into thinking you have more water than we need. Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches and constipation. A strong odor to your urine, along with

Thirst is an obvious sign of dehydration, and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty.how much water do you need to drink?A good estimate is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise, you should drink another eight ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to drink eight ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. If you live in an arid climate, you should add another two servings per day. As you can see, your daily need for water can add up to quite a lot. At least twenty percent of the water you need will come from the foods you eat. The rest will come from the beverages you drink. Water is probably the best choice; sweetened soft drinks and sodas have added sugar that adds

The search has been called off, for now, for a 59-year-old B.C. man who’s been missing in the Nevada wilderness for almost two months.Police in Elko County, Nevada, say the hunt for Albert Chretien of Penticton may not resume until snow in the area melts or there’s some new information about his possible location.Chretien and his 56-year-old wife Rita got lost on a backcountry road in late March while trying to take a shortcut on a trip to Las Vegas.

Newcomers to the country generally make less money and chip in less in taxes than the national average.And allowing 250,000 immigrants into the country annually is costing us all billions of dollars each and every year, according to a study by the Fraser Institute.The study, dubbed Immigration and the Canadian Welfare State, sharply criticizes Canada’s current immigration system, using HDUQLQJV�DQG�RWKHU�¿JXUHV�IURP�WKH��¿VFDO�\HDU�UHSRUWHG�E\��SHRSOH�LQ�WKH�2006 Census.It claims the group as a whole earned on average about $10,000 more and paid about $2,500 more in income taxes annually than those within the sampling who had settled in Canada in the previous 18 years.The study also found immigrants typically pay a little over $6,000 less in property and sales taxes than the national average.That means the approximately 3.9 million immigrants who settled in Canada between 1987 and 2004 are shortchanging federal government coffers by between $16.3 billion and $23.6 billion annually, depending on how many of those newcomers have moved back home, emigrated elsewhere or died, the study said.By comparison, the study points out that the loss would more than cover the $13 billion spent by the feds each year on the

After their van got stuck, Chretien set out on foot to get help and disappeared, while Rita was rescued after 47 days, having survived on little more than trail mix, candy and melted snow.She has since returned to Penticton and was released from hospital last weekend.Searchers on the ground and in the air had been scouring the route Albert Chretien may have taken to seek help, but have not found any trace of him.

environment.The study also dispelled some commonly held beliefs about newcomers.The idea that the children of immigrants will repay tomorrow the money lost today on their parents can only come to pass if they earn above average salaries, the study said.“This outcome is unlikely given that the offspring of immigrants in the past eventually take on all of the characteristics of the average Canadian,” the study says.The study also takes on the notion that immigrants are helping the country by taking menial jobs that most Canadians don’t want.³,PPLJUDQWV�GR�¿OO�MREV�WKDW�&DQDGLDQV�GRQ¶W�ZDQW�DQG�WKXV�EHQH¿W�WKH�HFRQRP\�EXW��LQ�WKH�absence of immigration, these jobs would SD\� KLJKHU� ZDJHV� DQG� ZRXOG� EH� ¿OOHG� E\�Canadians or eliminated by the application of labour-saving technology,” the study states.“Under these conditions, poverty in Canada would be reduced substantially.”As for changes, the study suggests annual immigration numbers should be increased or decreased, depending largely on “market forces.”The study also recommends Canada be more selective, allowing only newcomers who have employment lined up, offering them citizenship only if they hang onto their job for a set number of years and deporting those who lose their jobs.

Chapter 1:Once upon a time while travelling the three worlds, Yogiraj Narad Muni reached Mrityulok(Planet Earth), he saw the human beings suffering immensely. He visited the abode of Lord Vishnu, who alone can relieve the mankind from the sufferings.There he met the Almighty Lord Vishnu with four arms having Shankha, Chakra, Gadha & Padma, wearing Tulsi Mala (garland) in his neck. He started to pray & requested “Oh Lord!!! You are the supreme power, nothing can touch you, not even wind or mind can get you, your power is limitless, you know everything, you help your devotees to overcome their sufferings & sorrows.” Hearing all the pleadings of Sadhu Narad Muni, the Almighty Supreme Lord Vishnu, knowing everything asked Narad Muni “Oh Narad! Why have you come to me & what do you want from me, tell me, I want to hear the same from you.”Yogiraj Narad Muni replied, Oh Lord! I just went to Mrityulok, where I saw all kinds of human beings suffering in sorrow due to their previous karma. Oh Lord! the Almighty, is there no way that their suffering becomes less or is it possible that they get complete moksha (relief) from their sufferings. If so, please let us know. The Lord, at once replied “Oh Narad! you have asked a very good question for the EHQH¿W�RI�DOO�KXPDQ�NLQG�´

To free man-kind from all sufferings, & to ultimately reach Heaven , there is one virt (fast), & today I will tell you all about it. Anyone who does Shri Satyanarayan’s Virt & Puja (prayer) in the right way; will get all the pleasures on earth & will reach his goal.Yogiraj NaradMuni then asked, “Oh Lord!, has anyone kept this fast before? This virt is done on which day & how exactly is it done? Please do let us know all the details.”Whosoever does Bhagwan Shri Satyanarayanji’s Katha with Brahmin & with his family with full rites will be relieved of his sufferings & sorrows, will be bestowed with increase in wealth & wisdom; will be blessed with children; get overall victory & increased devotion.For this prayer, one requires riped bananas, ghee, milk & choori (made with wheat ÀRXU��JKHH��VXJDU��$IWHU�WKH�SUD\HUV��DOO�present must have the prasad & then take their meals together, & then sing, praise, & chant mantras of Lord Satyanarayan.

SatyaNarayan Katha In English

Story of Shri Satyanarayan Swamijiused to live a very innocent brahmin. In hunger & thirst; he used to roam for his daily bread. When the loving Lord saw the Brahmin in sorrow & begging daily; he took disguise of an old Brahmin & asked him, “Oh Dear!, why are you so sad. Please WHOO�PH�DOO�DERXW�\RXU�GLI¿FXOWLHV��,V�WKHUH�any way I could help you out?”The Brahmin told the Lord, “I am a poor Brahmin & I roam daily for bread. Do you know if there is any way to come out of all this sorrow?”The Old Brahmin (ie. the Lord ) said “Lord Satyanarayanji grants all the wishes of all the people. Dear Brahmin, that is why if you pray to him & keep his fast you will overcome all your sorrow & get moksha.”After telling him all the details of the prayer & the fast; the old Brahmin ie. the Lord disappeared.The brahmin could not sleep that night. He kept thinking of the fast & the prayer which the Lord had asked him to do. In the morning, he woke up with the thought that anyhow he must do the prayer & went out for his biksha. On that day the Brahmin got a lot of money from which he bought all the necessary things for the prayer; called his family & did Lord Satyanarayanji’s prayer. By doing so, the Brahmin overcame all his sorrows & became rich. From that time onwards, he used to do the prayers every month without fail.

In this way, whoever does Lord Satyanarayanji’s prayer will get moksha. Anyone on earth who does this prayer will be relieved from all sorrows.When Narad Muni noticed that the people on earth were eager to know about the other people who kept this fast; he narrated another story.The same Brahmin now a rich person used to do the prayer every month without fail with his family. Once he was doing his prayer, a wood-cutter passed from there. After keeping the bundle of wood outside the brahmin’s house, he went in for some water. The thirsty wood-cutter saw the brahmin doing his prayers. He bowed down to the Brahmin & asked him, “Oh Brahmin, what are you doing, please tell me all about it.” The Brahmin replied, “To grant all the wishes of human-beings, this fast & prayer is useful. I have acquired all the wealth & fame by doing this prayer of Lord Satyanarayanji.” After hearing about the prayer & drinking the water, the wood-cutter felt happy, he ate the prasad & left for his house.

Teething can be uncomfortable, but if your baby seems very irritable, talk to your doctor.Although tender and swollen gums could cause your baby’s temperature to be a little higher than normal, teething doesn’t usually cause high fever or diarrhea.

Though Tusshar Kapoor is still struggling to make his foothold in the tinsel town, he has received much adoration for his dumb character in the Golmaal series.The lucky ones to give the trophy to Tusshar were Pratiksha, age 10, and Dadlani, age 61.Very excited Pratiksha said, “I have watched ‘Golmaal’ around ten times only for Lucky’s acting.” Adding to this, Dadlani said, “His character was hilarious and Tusshar truly deserves WKLV� DZDUG�� ,� DP� WKDQNIXO� WR� 879�Movies and PVR Cinemas to have JLYHQ� PH� WKLV� FKDQFH� WR� IXO¿OO� P\�dream of meeting the talented actor.”Our team of Bollywood stars expresses heartiest congratulations to Tusshar Kapoor.

‘Love You...Mr Kalakaar’ lovable old-fashioned romance

(Movie Review)“Love You... Mr Kalakaar”; Cast: Tusshar Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Ram Kapoor, Madhoo; Director: S Manasvi; Rating; ***

Tch tch. Boy is an artiste. He is humble, generous, kind and compassionate. But what the heck! He can’t keep his sweetheart in the lap of luxury. Girl’s dad makes the kalaakar (artist), a cartoonist with a penchant for looking for warmth and humour in every cliché in life, an offer he can’t refuse.“Join my family business; prove \RXUVHOI�DV�D�SUR¿WHHU�DQG�\RX�FDQ�have my daughter’s hand.”This, then, is the old-as-the-hills love story into which Tusshar Kapoor and Amrita Rao are thrown together. To their credit, the pair gets into the mellow mood of the old-fashioned romance almost as though they’ve grown up watching the collected works of Sooraj Barjatya.Having read some of the savage DQG�GLVPLVVLYH�UHYLHZV�RI�WKH�¿OP��I am quite surprised to encounter a ¿OP�ZKLFK�LV�LQQRFXRXV�DQG�VZHHW��uncluttered and unassuming in its intentions.

And Ragini’s love is lost in the lust and greed of an MMS mess.“Love You…Mr Kalakaar” has a quaint old world charm to it. It doesn’t try to be anything but a story of love and trust set against

the corporate kingdom. The dialogues though adhering to the ¿OP¶V� µ¿OP\¶� PDQRHXYUHV� DUH� DW�times enormously moving.Tusshar and Amrita convey a great deal of unalloyed charm in their collaborative romance.

The sizzling jodi, Madhuri-Sanjay Dutt, back on silver screen

The actor who always hesitate eye to eye contact with his co-stars has gone bold now. Yes, we are speaking about Tusshar Kapoor. He has shed off his shyness and became bold enough to get cozy with his heroines. The actor has shot some steamy scenes in ERWK�RI�KLV�XSFRPLQJ�¿OPV��‘Shor In the City’ and ‘Dirty Picture’. In SITC, he got steamy with actress Radhika Apte. Kapoor muses, “The track in question Saibo is from SITC. It is a soft romantic ballad, picturised on a married couple Radhika (Apte) and me. It’s a romantic scene between a middle-class husband and wife living in a chawl that leads to lovemaking. I play a reformed gangster and she’s a catalyst in reforming me.”

Tusshar Kapoor unhooks Radhika Apte’s blouse!

In the song, Tusshar unhooks Radhika’s blouse and then watching her undressing. “I wasn’t embarrassed at all,” he says, “I am pro at such scenes now! In fact, my scenes in Dirty Picture are far steamier”.Tusshar and Radhika bonded very well off-screen and everyone on the set speaks about their on-screen chemistry. They are very comfortable in shooting the scene.

ICBC withdraws rate restructuring proposal The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia has withdrawn its rate restructuring proposal and committed to province wide consultation on other options for improving the way risks are shared among its customers.The move follows a meeting with the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Shirley Bond, who stated that ICBC has been instructed to ensure it DSSOLHV� D� WHVW� RI�� ³EHLQJ� UHDVRQDEOH� ±� and a hike in premiums for a single speeding ticket is not reasonable.”“While the principles of a rate structure that differentiates between good drivers and bad drivers is worth considering, I’ve directed ICBC to go back to the drawing board and rethink the options,” said Bond. “My job is to make sure that I’m looking after what’s best for B.C. families.”“We didn’t do a good enough job of communicating with the public or

with government about the changes we were considering, and we apologize for the concern this caused,” said Jon Schubert, ICBC’s president and CEO. “We’re going to take a step back and rethink the options for a reasonable way to share risk, and we’ll do a much better job of gathering public input.”ICBC will undertake a province wide consultation to solicit input on a range of options. The consultation will encourage British Columbians to provide input through a range of tools such as stakeholder meetings, open houses and online feedback. Details on where and how customers can provide feedback will be announced in the coming weeks.“It is really important for us to get this right for our customers,” said Schubert. “I want to assure customers that we will not recommend any changes without much broader consultation.

hoping to get a look at something that tells you it’s a Hyundai. The only clue is the stylized H on the rear lid.The grille is similar to that in the Genesis sedan, but it’s topped off by a unique Equus emblem (that also emblazons the wheel and steering wheel centres, and pops up RQ�VHYHUDO�GLVSOD\V�ZKHQ�WKH�FDU�¿UHV�XS��±�ZKHQ�\RX¶UH�XVHG�WR�VHHLQJ�WKUHH�SRLQWHG�stars, interlaced rings or a wreath and crest RQ�D�OX[XU\�FDU¶V�QRVH��LW¶V�EDIÀLQJ�WR�VHH�

Any who have felt the sponginess of the Lexus suspension are skeptical about the car’s track abilities until they actually get out there and push it. Equus has a similar solidness to it as you push it through high-speed corners and feel it holding onto decreasing radius highway on-ramps; though I think its limits a bit lower than the LS’.Steering is a bit light for handling SUR¿FLHQF\�� EXW� LW¶V� D� QLFH� PHDW\� ZKHHO�with good feel across its range. The wood inserts are a nice upscale touch, and heating

And though the six speed automatic is smooth to shift, it falls a gear or two short of its competitors, many of whom also now drive all four wheels.And lest you think it doesn’t have the presence of either the others, the Equus is actually bigger overall (length, width and height) than just about any competitor (even traditionally large cars like the Cadillac STS, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class), and rides on a longer wheelbase. It’s also closer to the ground, with height adjustment for the air suspension available at the push of a button.
