Cambodia seems at once part of, and removed from, the rest of SE Asia. It borders Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, yet seems worlds away from them all. I was warned that the people would be aggressive and to hold on to my purse tightly. And although Cambodia is incredibly impoverished, it is also a country of immense beauty. Its history is both glorious and tragic, mesmerizing and bewildering, noble and shameful. Cambodia is perhaps the most complex country I have visited, and one that takes more than a few days to comprehend.
I started in Siem Reap. From here, I spent two days touring the temples of Angkor, the ancient city built in the 12th century. There are 72 temples within the Angkor region. Walking amongst these stone towers, decorated with intricate carvings of both Buddhist and Hindu gods, one begins to imagine what this place must have been like 850 years ago. Monks would spend their days praying, while the king and royal court would watch dance performances within the grand palace. Villagers would hold market and sell their wares, while flute music floated through the air.
I toured about a dozen of the temples in this region, with the crowning jewel being Angkor Wat itself. The temple is considered one of the best examples of of Khmer architecture, with stone towers soaring high above the once-crocodile-filled moats below. Bas reliefs adorn the walls, depicting Hindu stories of battles won and lost amongst ancient gods. One cannot help but marvel at the strength of these buildings to withstand centuries and the timeless artistry within their walls.
Though Angkor is the pride of Cambodia, it is only a piece of Cambodia's real identity. There is a story of unbelievable horror and tragedy that lives alongside Angkor's glory... the story of genocide under Pol Pot's regime from 1975-1979. Today I visited the killing fields of Choung Ek, a place where thousands of Cambodians were executed during the reign of the Khmer Rouge. A stupa has been erected to house the 8,000+ skulls excavated after the genocide ended. I stood there, looking at the stacks of skulls of men, women and children, and an overwhelming feeling of grief washed over me. I choked back tears and forced myself to wander through the grounds and try to gain some understanding of what exactly transpired in this field where over 100 Cambodians were executed daily during the nightmare.
The executions were part of a "purge," that sought to rid the country of any resistance to the communist party. Any person seen as intelligent or suspected of resistance would be interrogated, tortured, and eventually killed. Their family members would be executed as well in order to avoid any future revenge. The methods of the torture and killing were unthinkably brutal. Electrocution, strangling, and bludgeoning to death were only a few methods used in the "extermination" of these innocent people.
After almost 4 years of genocide, 1.7 million Cambodians were dead... one-quarter of the entire population.
It is impossible to understand how or why something like this could have happened. How can millions of people be systematically murdered under the nose of agencies like the UN and nothing be done to stop it? How can young boys be brainwashed into murdering their families? How can someone hold a baby by its legs and smash its head against a tree?
And why does the dark side of human nature rear itself so horrifically in a place of such deep-seated faith in Buddha and his tenants of love and kindness?
Herein lays the complexity of Cambodia and the contradictions that trouble these people. At first glance, Cambodians are happy and proud of their country. School children on bicycles wave to Westerners in tuk-tuks. Waiters recommend the local Angkor beer. Hotel staff say goodbye as if you are their distant relatives and they hope for the day when you return again to say hello. But underneath their cheerful veneer is the sadness of loss and the pain of unending grief. Most people have a friend or a relative who they lost during this dark period. Some people, including the current king, lost their entire family.
How does a country heal in the aftermath of such atrocity?
Although I will leave Cambodia tomorrow with more questions than answers, I will also leave with inspiration. To see a people face their days smiling in the shadow of such a tragedy proves that their resolve to move forward is perhaps even stronger than the stone that built Angkor Wat.

Notify as a tax (financial) adviser from 1 July
There is one month until 1 July, when financial advisers who provide tax advice can notify the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) and become registered as a tax (financial) adviser.
The notification period begins on 1 July 2014 and ends on 31 December 2015. During this notification period, Australian financial services (AFS) licensees and their authorised representatives who provide tax (financial) advice services will need to either:
- notify the TPB to become registered as a tax (financial) adviser, or
- use a relevant disclaimer when they provide tax (financial) advice services for a fee or other reward.
Australian financial services (AFS) licensees will soon receive a letter from the TPB with login details to access the online notification form. AFS licensees will be able to notify for registration on behalf of their authorised representatives.
Ian Taylor, Chair of the TPB, said "The 18-month notification period begins in one month on 1 July. All AFS licensees should be considering whether they and their authorised representatives will notify the TPB to become a registered tax (financial) adviser."
"The notification period is the first part of a phased approach to the regulation of tax (financial) advice. The phased approach continues until 1 July 2017. The TPB will continue to work consultatively with stakeholders to assist the profession to comply with the new regulatory framework." said Mr Taylor.
Future consultation will cover areas including sufficient number requirements, fees and other rewards as well as qualification and experience requirements once these are finalised by The Treasury.

PRISM fears being used by scammers
No comments · Posted by lance in Computer Security, malware, Phishing/Pharming
In a new attack, some websites have been set up to show visitors a slash page that says the vicim's computer has been blocked because is has been used to access illegal pornographic content. The user is then presented a link to pay an instant "fine" of $300 to the scammers.
This is a new variant of "ransomware". The most common of which is "fake AV". A fake anti-virus website or software will claim to scan your computer for free, then charge you to remove malware that it has "detected".

Within hours of Kristen Stewart's face being planted on every news tabloid imaginable with accusations of cheating, very public apologies were issued by herself and Rupert Sanders to their significant others. This of course was a move planned out by publicists and certainly not for the benefit of those they cheated on. The damage has of course already been done and by this point I'm fairly confident in stating that neither Rob Pattinson or Rupert's wife Liberty could care less which media outlet published such apology. I know some people probably view the whole scenario as just another shining example of Hollywood romance down the tubes, but I cannot help but over-analyze the situation.
First and foremost - why cheat? If you are unhappy in your relationship the best thing to do is to separate. If you are worried about the pain you'll cause with the break up, just know that you'll cause less pain going that route than via cheating. A break up by far is classier, the opportunity to remain friends is still there, and in the end its certainly more respectful.
Secondly, and more specifically in the case of Kristin and Rob - timing could not have been any worse with filming of the next Breaking Dawn and promotion of that movie. For two folks who have to work intimately close to one another, good luck doing so now that the cat's out of the bag. Part of the allure to Twilight was their relationship both on and off screen.
Lastly, I halfheartedly speculate that Kristin and Rob may not have been a real item for a while now but have been required to emulate a cozy couple for the purposes of the Twilight film saga. I truly hope this is the case for Rob's sake. The public embarrassment is one thing, but the lying and betrayal by someone he loved can be soul crushing. Don't get me wrong, even if they had moved on that doesn't excuse the man with which Kristen chose to move on to since he's already spoken for with a wife and family. Ethics come in to play here, among other things.
"All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy." ~Scott Alexander

In a place
where the sky touches the sea
and all the universe wakes up
westward across the horizon,
you walk towards me
In a place
where the green clasps the blue
in its strong yet gentle hands
and all the waves intone serenity,
you smile at me
In a place
where everyone is just a frame
of panning and bokeh
and even I stand contre-jour,
you always choose me
In a place
where everything is in time lapse
every time we steal glances,
we never end it with a period;
only with em dash
In those moments,
I saw a silhouette of something
that will never be;
a glimpse of possibility
that should never be..
It's so refreshing to be far away from Manila but my signal got so fucked up I felt isolated from the world 😅 Though, I felt more close to our nature I guess. It really felt nice to take a break. Make sure you breathe in some fresh air. 🌴🌸☀

I read an interesting article yesterday about how much an engaged, social customer is worth in plain old dollars and cents. In a study of over 400 customers of a wine company over a three year period, here are their findings:
- Engaged social media customers spent 5.6% more than other, non-engaged customers
- Those customers who posted regular content online (the fabled 1% of all customers), bought wine in larger volumes than anyone else
- These customers also tended to go for the more expensive products, and were more loyal to the company. This goes against the impression that social is merely home to those looking for bargains or items on sale.
- Engaged social media customers began to visit the wine store more often and spend more than a similar demographic after they started their social media presence in 2009
So what did we learn here?
Know your customers, engage with them, and tailor your social media outreach to their needs, wants, and lifestyles.

- The three-week absence of President Muhammadu Buhari has raised widespread speculation and rumour that he is seriously ill or has already died.
- Although there is little evidence to support the rumours, the prolonged absence comes amid unrest over poor economic conditions and has raised concerns of a breakdown in the policymaking process.
- Even if the president were to return to Abuja in the near future, investor confidence will remain weak due to the slow-moving policy environment and broader concerns around the government's economic competence.
Confusion fuelling speculation
The disappearance from public view of President Muhammadu Buhari since 19 January has led to widespread media speculation over the state of his health. Buhari, who is 74, left the country for medical leave in London three weeks ago, sparking almost immediate rumours in Nigerian media and online that he was either already dead or seriously ill and incapacitated. The presidency sought to dispel the rumours on 22 January by releasing photos on Buhari's official Twitter account showing him watching television from his London hotel room, while officials issued assurances that the president was well.
His failure, however, to appear in public has done little to assuage fears of his death, which were further fuelled on 6 February when the presidency declared that his medical leave in London would be extended, without providing a date for his return. Several senior presidential aides have admitted they have not been in direct contact with the president during his leave, though on 8 February Senate President Bukola Saraki, who has a history of rivalry with Buhari, said he had spoken to the president and that he was in good health. This was followed a day later by the presidency releasing photos of Buhari meeting the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu and former governor of Osun state Bisi Akande in London.
As yet, there is no evidence to support the rumours that Buhari has died, and the most plausible explanation is that he is alive but possibly in ill health. Buhari's disappearance from public view follows an earlier 10-day trip he took to London to seek medical attention in June 2016, reportedly to treat an ear infection, which has added to rumours about his medical condition, particularly given Nigeria's poor record with regards to transparency around the president's health. In November 2009, President Umaru Yar'Adua travelled to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment and was not seen in public again and no details of his health were made public until his death was announced in May 2010. Some observers have indicated this precedent lends credence to the rumours about Buhari, though it would likely be harder to keep Buhari's death a secret in London, compared to a more secretive jurisdiction like Saudi Arabia.
Policy vacuum
The prolonged absence has raised concerns of a breakdown in policy making at a time when Nigeria is facing its worst recession in 25 years driven mainly by weak oil prices. Although Buhari campaigned on a platform pledging far-reaching reforms delivered with military-style competence, he has been subject to persistent criticism over the slow pace of change. It took six months for him to form a government, while his efforts to concentrate power in a tight inner circle of loyal, but inexperienced, officials has further reduced the government's capacity.
In Buhari's absence, the constitution dictates that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo assume the role of acting president. However, with so many key policy initiatives hinged on Buhari, there are already signs of a further slowdown in government. This is particularly so with regards to Buhari's economic growth plan that will provide a blueprint for recovery between 2017 and 2020 and aims to lift the economic growth rate to 7 percent by the end of that period. The government hopes to present the proposals to the World Bank in February in order to secure financing of at least USD 1 bn, but the specific details of what the economic reform plan will contain remain unclear and it is uncertain if the loans can be agreed in his absence.
The president's health and the concerns surrounding delays to the reform agenda will feed into broader disquiet among investors over economic management. Foreign investors have been especially critical of the government's reluctance to introduce a flexible foreign-exchange rate policy, instead pegging the naira rate to the dollar at 40 percent above the unofficial market rate. The policy has led to an enormous scarcity in dollars and made many investors reluctant to commit to new projects as they expect that the central bank will eventually have to devalue the naira.
In Buhari's absence, it is unclear what action the government will take, if any, to such pressing issues. On 6 and 9 February, protests were held in several cities, including Abuja, condemning the stagnating economic situation and demanding the government respond. In response, Osinbajo issued a series of Tweets pledging to act on the protesters' concerns, but this has done little to dispel the criticism of government inaction that predates Buhari's leave of absence. Although it is possible that Buhari will return to Nigeria in the near future, the growing criticism of his leadership is likely to result in further such protests and concerns among investors over the management of the economy. If he is indeed ill, this will likely result in other figures, notably Osinbajo, playing a greater role in government, though the resulting power vacuum risks fuelling competition among different political leaders and thus further undermining policy development.

"We stayed five days on the site and found it great. Location was fabulous as it was only a short walk into Ballycastle centre. Staff were very friendly and helped us with any queries we had. Also there was plenty of information available onsite. We found the apartment exactly what we expected, basic but good. We didn't get to use the swimming pool as we were away exploring during the day but it looked good though. A great place to explore the Causeway coast, especially all the Game of Thrones locations. We ate in the Marine Hotel, O'Connors and Mortons... best fish we ever tasted! We did visit the pub close to the reception area… it was child friendly and food was available. My son had a great time and we will definitely be back only this time with more family members"Ms Catrina C Graffin
I stayed at the Rathlin Apartments last week with my sister and her children in Number 8.
This was a fairly last minute booking as I wanted to take the children somewhere special and saw the apartment within my budget.
I was so impressed with your facilities on the park itself – the play park and pool were fantastic for the kids and the grown-ups! And the location really did take my breath away.
I also want to mention the lovely staff at the main desk who accommodated an apartment move last minute for us when we realised we had a lot of baby stuff to take up and down the stairwells, so many thanks for that. Overall, a great experience and the kids were already asking about next year's trip! – some lovely memories.
Thanks to you all.Mr Gary Stewart
A superb and thoroughly enjoyable half term break at Causeway Coast Holiday ParkEsther Mc Caw
After spending many holidays on the park with my family we decided to purchase a holiday home and haven't looked back since , my grand children love the swimming pool and the play area. The best thing about a holiday home on the causeway coast is we all get to spend quality time togetherJ Dunne
The childern's entertainers were so enthusiastic and got everyone involved, it was nice to relax knowing they were being looked after and kept busyMrs Madge
As the caravan park was so close, we just had to visit the Giant's Causeway and it was stunning, as was this whole stretch of coastlineMr & Mrs McDowell
"Just to say a massive thank you to all the staff at the Causeway Coast Park, we had an amazing time. The staff were fantastic and provided a top notch service! We will be sure to come back again in the future.Michelle S

Central Arkansas Christian boys coach Steve Quattlebaum never expected his Mustangs to start 9-0 in 7-4A play, but that's where they started the week.
CAC won three more last week, a 48-47 overtime win over Arkansas Baptist; a 56-33 decision at Nashville and a 48-32 finish at Bauxite — to improve to 16-5 overall.
"To be undefeated — no, I didn't expect that at all," Quattlebaum said Sunday. "I knew Arkadelphia would be good. Malvern's been good in the past. It's a pretty athletic conference with Malvern, Ashdown and Arkadelphia, similar to the one we were in (the 5A-Southwest).
"It's a little surprising."
Starting the week, every other conference team had at least two losses. Bauxite was second to the Mustangs, followed by Arkadelphia and Baptist. The top two finishers will receive a bye to the district tournament semifinals, which would guarantee a berth in the regional tournament.
"We still haven't played Ashdown, but we feel pretty good after we've seen almost everybody," Quattlebaum said. "Three wins this week would just about wrap up first place."
CAC played at Pulaski Robinson, a team it beat in the earlier meeting, 64-34. The Mustangs will play host to Bauxite on Friday, travel to Ashdown on Saturday and to Arkadelphia (which they beat the first time, 54-34) on Tuesday, Feb. 5.
Arkansas Baptist led most of the game last week against CAC.
"We came back in the fourth quarter after being down four or six at halftime," Quattlebaum said. "But we hung around and got ahead. Travis Byrne made a big play late in the game, got a steal, and they missed a last-second shot in regulation."
In the overtime, Byrne got a steal at half-court, made the layup and drew an intentional foul. Dylan Sherrill made two free throws late to ice it.
"That was a good win; Baptist is really good," Quattlebaum said. "It's a good rivalry game. Both teams shot the ball pretty good. Josh Holland and Dylan Sherrill both had good games."
At Nashville, the Mustangs played well and ended up with a pretty easy win.
"We got to play just about everybody," Quattlebaum said. "We were up 12 or so at halftime, stretched it to 15 at the end of the third and got up over 20 in the fourth quarter.
"They'd been playing well; they played us good the first time, but we did a good job this time in the press and got a few steals. Travis has been good on the front of the press; he's very athletic and gets his hands on a lot of balls. Beau (Barnes) and Dylan are pretty quick. We put some pressure on them."
At Bauxite last week, the Mustangs built a 12-8 lead after one quarter and grew that to 13 at the half.
"We had a good third quarter and held them to two points for most of the quarter before they ended up with four," Quattlebaum said. "We got up 20-plus. They were the second-place team and had just one conference loss before that. That was a big win for us."

Adrienne is talking about the second book in her Justice Team series. I'm currently reading the first book, Stealing Justice, and it's good stuff. Fans of romantic suspense should definitely check it out. :)
1. What flavor is your writing? (Contemporary? Historical? Spicy? Action? Space odyssey? Ninjas? All of the above?)
My flavor would be spicy-light. I write romantic suspense and I've been told my books are steamy, but I honestly don't think they're that steamy. Maybe I shouldn't be saying that! :)
I honestly believe my books are more about the sexual tension and the push-pull between the hero and the heroine and that creates the steam. I also like to include a bit of humor in my dialogue. Particularly with the men. On any given day, the conversations between men and their friends can be funny so I try to infuse that into my books.
2. I love hearing where romantic suspense authors get ideas for the crimes in their books. Where do you get your inspiration?
I am a true-crime junkie. I can't get enough of it on television and in the news. I love to read the newspaper and sometimes a little snippet of something will spark an idea. The idea for The Prosecutor came to me after reading a newspaper clip about a man who spent twenty years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. I started to wonder what that must have felt like for his family and before I knew it, I had an idea for a book.
3. How would you describe Lady Jane's Salon--Naperville to those who haven't experienced it yet?
Lady Jane's Salon is a live reading series that features romance and women's fiction authors and their books. The Naperville salon is a satellite location to the original Lady Jane's Salon in New York. Audience members at our Naperville salons indulge in decadent coffees and desserts while listening to authors read excerpts from their books. We generally have three to five authors at each of the salons so our audience has a great opportunity to discover new-to-them authors. I think of Lady Jane's Salon as the adult version of being read a bedtime story. For more information on Lady Jane's Salon-Naperville check out our website at http://ladyjanessalonnaperville.com/
4. What are you reading now or what books do you have in your TBR pile?
Right now I'm reading 10% Happier by news anchor Dan Harris. In the book, he talks about the events that led him to discover meditation. I've recently started practicing Transcendental meditation so I'm able to identify with a lot of what Mr. Harris writes about. I've also just downloaded Carolyn Crane's Against the Dark so that's up next on my TBR list.
5. What are you working on now?
I have a couple of projects going now. I'm plotting my next Harlequin Intrigue and also drafting the first book in a new series. The new series will take place in Las Vegas, which is exciting for me because I love Vegas and have always wanted to use it as a setting.
And, of course, I'm getting psyched up for the July 21st release of Cheating Justice, book two in the Justice Series. I'm co-writing this series with the fabulous Misty Evans and it's been an amazing experience. The book required massive research, and I think it's probably the most involved plot I've ever worked on. Such fun.

For fans of Scandal and Justified. The second novel in the exciting and bestselling Justice Team romantic suspense series.
While investigating a government cover-up, former FBI agent Mitch Monroe is framed for murder. A wanted man, Mitch has no choice but to stay off the grid, and he needs Special Agent Caroline Foster—the FBI's top sniper and a woman who wants nothing to do with him—to clear his name.
After sharing a single night of simmering passion with Mitch a year ago, Caroline hasn't been able to get him out of her head. Or her heart. He's jeopardized her job once…helping him now could end her career. But a friend has been murdered, and no matter how Caroline feels about Mitch, he's not the killer. She needs answers, and she needs Mitch Monroe out of her life once and for all.
On the run and with no one to turn to, Mitch and Caroline can't fight the reigniting passion between them. She'll lose her career if she proves Mitch is innocent…he'll lose his life if she doesn't.

Mina Kim's work first published by IMC Games in Question & Answers #4 where companion is introduced.

KEYSTONE PROTESTER: Our People Are Willing to Die to Stop Pipeline (Video)
The far left is willing to die to stop a pipeline from moving gas to America.
They'd rather have the gas trucked in or moved by rail cars.
What complete idiots.

Neil Gaiman has penned a new autobiographical essay on The Breeders.
The band are back, with their classic line up re-uniting for a series of recording sessions.
New album 'All Nerve' arrives on March 2nd, with new single 'Wait In The Car' out now.
Set to be given a seven inch vinyl release, 'Wait In The Car' features a new cover of Michael Nesmith's solo cut 'Joanne' on the flip...
Alongside this, author Neil Gaiman has penned a new essay on his relationship with the Breeders' music. A reflection on time, ageing, and the personal value of music, it opens:
People change over the years, and the you that is you never changes. Yesterday you were a kid, and tomorrow you'll be old, and you think you're the same person you were, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Music slices you in time.
Discussing the role music has played in his life, it touches on everything from his comic book series Sandman to Spotify. It ends:
People change over the years, and we hope that the we that is us never changes. Yesterday we were kids, and tomorrow we'll be old, and we think we're the same people we were, despite all evidence to the contrary.
But sometimes we play music that lets us be us then and us now and us still to come, and it's all worth it, every minute, every aching second, every gaping now.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) was established as the common international institutional framework for governing trade relations among its members in matters related to the Uruguay Round Agreements. The WTO is the successor organization to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. U.S. membership in the WTO was approved by Congress when it enacted the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Pub. L. 103-465), which was signed into law on December 8, 1994. The WTO Agreements, which established the WTO, entered into force with respect to the United States on January 1, 1995. The Uruguay Round Agreements Act amended Title IV of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C. 2531 et seq.). Section 491 of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2578), requires the President to designate an agency to be responsible for informing the public of the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standard-setting activities of each international standard-setting organization. The designated agency must inform the public by publishing an annual notice in the Federal Register that provides the following information: (1) The SPS standards under consideration or planned for consideration by the international standard-setting organization; and (2) for each SPS standard specified, a description of the consideration or planned consideration of that standard, a statement of whether the United States is participating or plans to participate in the consideration of that standard, the agenda for U.S. participation, if any, and the agency responsible for representing the United States with respect to that standard.
"International standard" is defined in 19 U.S.C. 2578b as any standard, guideline, or recommendation: (1) Adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) regarding food safety; (2) developed under the auspices of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE, formerly known as the Office International des Epizooties) regarding animal health and welfare, and zoonoses; (3) developed under the auspices of the Secretariat of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) in cooperation with the North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO) regarding plant health; or (4) established by or developed under any other international organization agreed to by the member countries of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the member countries of the WTO.
The President, pursuant to Proclamation No. 6780 of March 23, 1995 (60 FR 15845), designated the Secretary of Agriculture as the official responsible for informing the public of the SPS standard-setting activities of Codex, OIE, IPPC, and NAPPO. The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) informs the public of Codex standard-setting activities, and USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) informs the public of OIE, IPPC, and NAPPO standard-setting activities.
FSIS publishes an annual notice in the Federal Register to inform the public of SPS standard-setting activities for Codex. Codex was created in 1962 by two United Nations organizations, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization. It is the major international organization for encouraging international trade in food and protecting the health and economic interests of consumers.Start Printed Page 65167
APHIS is responsible for publishing an annual notice of OIE, IPPC, and NAPPO activities related to international standards for plant and animal health and representing the United States with respect to these standards. Following are descriptions of the OIE, IPPC, and NAPPO organizations and the standard-setting agenda for each of these organizations. We have described the agenda that each of these organizations will address at their annual general sessions, including standards that may be presented for adoption or consideration, as well as other initiatives that may be underway at the OIE, IPPC, and NAPPO.
The agendas for these meetings are subject to change, and the draft standards identified in this notice may not be sufficiently developed and ready for adoption as indicated. Also, while it is the intent of the United States to support adoption of international standards and to participate actively and fully in their development, it should be recognized that the U.S. position on a specific draft standard will depend on the acceptability of the final draft. Given the dynamic and interactive nature of the standard-setting process, we encourage any persons who are interested in the most current details about a specific draft standard or the U.S. position on a particular standard-setting issue, or in providing comments on a specific standard that may be under development, to contact APHIS. Contact information is provided at the beginning of this notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
OIE Standard-Setting Activities
The OIE was established in Paris, France, in 1924 with the signing of an international agreement by 28 countries. It is currently composed of 178 Members, each of which is represented by a delegate who, in most cases, is the chief veterinary officer of that country or territory. The WTO has recognized the OIE as the international forum for setting animal health and welfare standards, reporting global animal disease events, and presenting guidelines and recommendations on sanitary measures relating to animal health.
The OIE facilitates intergovernmental cooperation to prevent the spread of contagious diseases in animals by sharing scientific research among its Members. The major functions of the OIE are to collect and disseminate information on the distribution and occurrence of animal diseases and to ensure that science-based standards govern international trade in animals and animal products. The OIE aims to achieve these through the development and revision of international standards for diagnostic tests, vaccines, and the safe international trade of animals and animal products.
The OIE provides annual reports on the global distribution of animal diseases, recognizes the free status of Members for certain diseases, categorizes animal diseases with respect to their international significance, publishes bulletins on global disease status, and provides animal disease control guidelines to Members. Various OIE commissions and working groups undertake the development and preparation of draft standards, which are then circulated to Members for consultation (review and comment). Draft standards are revised accordingly and are then presented to the OIE World Assembly of Delegates (all the Members) during the General Session, which meets annually every May, for review and adoption. Adoption, as a general rule, is based on consensus of the OIE membership.
The next OIE General Session is scheduled for May 20-25, 2012, in Paris, France. Currently, the Deputy Administrator for APHIS' Veterinary Services program is the official U.S. Delegate to the OIE. The Deputy Administrator for APHIS' Veterinary Services program intends to participate in the proceedings and will discuss or comment on APHIS' position on any standard up for adoption. Information about OIE draft Terrestrial and Aquatic Animal Health Code chapters may be found on the Internet at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/animals/oie/ or by contacting Dr. Michael David (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above).
OIE Terrestrial and Aquatic Animal Health Code Chapters and Appendices Adopted by the May 2011 General Session

IPPC Standard-Setting Activities
The IPPC is a multilateral convention adopted in 1952 for the purpose of securing common and effective action to prevent the spread and introduction of pests of plants and plant products and to promote appropriate measures for their control. Under the IPPC, the understanding of plant protection has been, and continues to be, broad, encompassing the protection of both cultivated and noncultivated plants from direct or indirect injury by plant pests. Activities addressed by the IPPC include the development and establishment of international plant health standards, the harmonization of phytosanitary activities through emerging standards, the facilitation of the exchange of official and scientific information among countries, and the furnishing of technical assistance to developing countries that are signatories to the IPPC.
The IPPC is under the authority of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the members of the Secretariat of the IPPC are appointed by the FAO. The IPPC is implemented by national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) in cooperation with regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs); the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM, formerly referred to as the International Commission on Phytosanitary Measures); and the Secretariat of the IPPC. The United States plays a major role in all standard-setting activities under the IPPC and has representation on FAO's highest governing body, the FAO Conference.
The United States became a contracting party to the IPPC in 1972 and has been actively involved in furthering the work of the IPPC ever since. The IPPC was amended in 1979, and the amended version entered into force in 1991 after two-thirds of the contracting countries accepted the amendment. More recently, in 1997, contracting parties completed negotiations on further amendments that were approved by the FAO Conference and submitted to the parties for acceptance. This 1997 amendment updated phytosanitary concepts and formalized the standard-setting structure within the IPPC. The 1997 amended version of the IPPC entered into force after two-thirds of the contracting parties notified the Director General of FAO of their acceptance of the amendment in October 2005. The U.S. Senate gave its advice and consent to acceptance of the newly revised IPPC on October 18, 2000. The President submitted the official letter of acceptance to the FAO Director General on October 4, 2001.
The IPPC has been, and continues to be, administered at the national level by plant quarantine officials whose primary objective is to safeguard plant resources from injurious pests. In the United States, the national plant protection organization is APHIS' Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) program. The steps for developing a standard under the IPPC are described below.
Step 1: Proposals for a new international standard for phytosanitary measures (ISPM) or for the review or revision of an existing ISPM are submitted to the Secretariat of the IPPC in a standardized format on a 2-year cycle. Alternatively, the Secretariat can propose a new standard or amendments to existing standards.
Step 2: After review by the Standards Committee and the Strategic Planning and Technical Assistance Working Group, a summary of proposals is submitted by the Secretariat to the CPM. The CPM identifies the topics and priorities for standard setting from among the proposals submitted to the Secretariat and others that may be raised by the CPM.
Step 3: Specifications for the standards identified as priorities by the CPM are drafted by the Standards Committee. The draft specifications are subsequently made available to members and RPPOs for comment (60 days). Comments are submitted in writing to the Secretariat. Taking into account the comments, the Standards Committee finalizes the specifications.
Step 4: The standard is drafted or revised in accordance with the specifications by a working group designated by the Standards Committee. The resulting draft standard is submitted to the Standards Committee for review.
Step 5: Draft standards approved by the Standards Committee are distributed to members by the Secretariat and RPPOs for consultation (100 days). Comments are submitted in writing to the Secretariat. Where appropriate, the Standards Committee may establish open-ended discussion groups as forums for further comment. The Secretariat summarizes the comments and submits them to the Standards Committee.
Step 6: Taking into account the comments, the Secretariat, in cooperation with the Standards Committee, revises the draft standard. The Standards Committee submits the final version to the CPM for adoption.
Step 7: The ISPM is established through formal adoption by the CPM according to Rule X of the Rules of Procedure of the CPM.
Step 8: Review of the ISPM is completed by the specified date or such other date as may be agreed upon by the CPM.
Each member country is represented on the CPM by a single delegate. Although experts and advisors may Start Printed Page 65169accompany the delegate to meetings of the CPM, only the delegate (or an authorized alternate) may represent each member country in considering a standard up for approval. Parties involved in a vote by the CPM are to make every effort to reach agreement on all matters by consensus. Only after all efforts to reach a consensus have been exhausted may a decision on a standard be passed by a vote of two-thirds of delegates present and voting.
Technical experts from the United States have participated directly in working groups and indirectly as reviewers of all IPPC draft standards. The United States also has a representative on the Standards Committee. In addition, documents and positions developed by APHIS and NAPPO have been sources of significant input for many of the standards adopted to date. This notice describes each of the IPPC standards currently under consideration or up for adoption. The full text of each standard will be available on the Internet at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/plant_exports/phyto_international_standards.shtml. Interested individuals may review the standards posted on this Web site and submit comments via the Web site.
The next CPM meeting is scheduled for March 26-30, 2012, at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. The Deputy Administrator for APHIS' PPQ program is the U.S. delegate to the CPM. The Deputy Administrator intends to participate in the proceedings and will discuss or comment on APHIS' position on any standards up for adoption. The agenda for the Fifth Session of the Commission of Phytosanitary Measures is as follows:
1. Opening of the session.
2. Adoption of the agenda.
3. Election of the Rapporteur.
4. Report by the CPM chairperson.
5. Report by the Secretariat.
6. Report of the technical consultation among RPPOs.
7. Report of observer organizations.
8. Goal 1: A robust international standard-setting and implementation program.
9. Goal 2: Information exchange systems appropriate to meet IPPC obligations.
10. Goal 3: Effective dispute settlement systems.
11. Goal 4: Improved phytosanitary capacity of members.
12. Goal 5: Sustainable implementation of the IPPC.
13. Goal 6: International promotion of the IPPC and cooperation with relevant regional and international organizations.
14. Goal 7: Review of the status of plant protection in the world.
15. Election of the Bureau.
16. Membership of CPM subsidiary bodies.
17. Calendar.
18. Other business.
19. Date and venue of the next meeting.
20. Adoption of the report.
It is expected that the following standards will be sufficiently developed to be considered by the CPM for adoption at its 2012 meeting. The United States, represented by the Deputy Administrator for APHIS' PPQ program, will participate in consideration of these standards. The U.S. position on each of these issues will be developed prior to the CPM session and will be based on APHIS' analysis, information from other U.S. Government agencies, and relevant scientific information from interested stakeholders.
1. Integrated measures for plants for planting in international trade. This standard outlines the main criteria for the identification and application of integrated measures for the production and international movement of plants for planting (excluding seeds) as a pathway. It provides guidance to help identify and manage pest risks associated with plants for planting.
2. Systems approach for pest risk management of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). This standard provides guidelines for the development, implementation, and verification of integrated measures in a systems approach for pest risk management of fruit flies (Tephritidae) of economic importance.
New Standard-Setting Initiatives, Including Those in Development
A number of expert working group meetings or other technical consultations will take place during 2011 and 2012 on the topics listed below. These standard-setting initiatives are under development and may be considered for future adoption. APHIS intends to participate actively and fully in each of these working groups. The U.S. position on each of the topics to be addressed by these various working groups will be developed prior to these working group meetings and will be based on APHIS' technical analysis, information from other U.S. Government agencies, and relevant scientific information from interested stakeholders.
1. Establishment and maintenance of fruit fly quarantine areas within pest free areas in the event of an outbreak detection. This draft is proposed as an Annex to ISPM 26, Establishment of pest free areas for fruit flies (Tephritidae). It will provide guidance on the establishment and maintenance of regulated areas within pest free areas (PFA) when fruit fly outbreaks are detected. It will provide guidance on phytosanitary measures which are intended to protect other production areas and, as far as possible, will allow for the continuation of fruit and vegetables production, movement and handling, treatment, and shipping when some or all of the components of the export process are located in the regulated areas within the PFA.
2. Minimizing pest movement by sea containers and conveyances in international trade. The standard will provide guidance to NPPOs as to identifying particular pest risks associated with shipping containers as pathways in sea and overland transport between countries; identifying appropriate phytosanitary measures to mitigate such risks, in particular prior to export, including procedures for packing and cleaning of the interior and exterior of shipping containers, as well as inspection and measures related to the area surrounding packing, storage and loading locations; and identifying verification procedures. The purpose of this standard is to minimize the risk of quarantine pests moved as contaminants with shipping containers, irrespective of the cargo carried. The standard should provide guidance as to how appropriate pest risk management can be achieved with minimum impediment to efficient movement and management of shipping containers.
For more detailed information on the above topics, which will be addressed by various working groups established by the CPM, contact Ms. Julie E. Aliaga (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above).
APHIS posts draft standards on the Internet (http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/plant_exports/phyto_international_standards.shtml) as they become available and provides information on the due dates for comments. Additional information on IPPC standards is available on the IPPC Web site at http://www.ippc.int/IPP/En/default.htm. For the most current information on official U.S. participation in IPPC activities, including U.S. positions on standards being considered, contact Ms. Julie E.

NAPPO Standard-Setting Activities
NAPPO, a regional plant protection organization created in 1976 under the IPPC, coordinates the efforts among Canada, the United States, and Mexico to protect their plant resources from the entry, establishment, and spread of harmful plant pests, while facilitating intra- and inter-regional trade. NAPPO conducts its business through panels and annual meetings held among the three member countries. The NAPPO Executive Committee charges individual panels with the responsibility for drawing up proposals for NAPPO positions, policies, and standards. These panels are made up of representatives from each member country who have scientific expertise related to the policy or standard being considered. Proposals drawn up by the individual panels are circulated for review to Government and industry officials in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, who may suggest revisions. In the United States, draft standards are circulated to industry, States, and various government agencies for consideration and comment. The draft standards are posted on the Internet at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/plant_exports/phyto_international_standards.shtml. Once revisions are made, the proposal is sent to the NAPPO Working Group and the NAPPO Standards Panel for technical reviews, and then to the Executive Committee for final approval, which is granted by consensus.
The annual NAPPO meeting is scheduled for October 17 to 21, 2011, in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. The NAPPO Executive Committee meeting will take place on October 17, 2011. The Associate Deputy Administrator for PPQ is a member of the NAPPO Executive Committee. The Associate Deputy Administrator intends to participate in the proceedings and will discuss or comment on APHIS' position on any standard up for adoption or any proposals to develop new standards.
Below is a summary of current panel assignments as they relate to the ongoing development of NAPPO standards. The United States (i.e., USDA/APHIS) intends to participate actively and fully in the work of each of these panels. The U.S. position on each topic will be guided and informed by the best scientific information available on each of these topics. For each of the following panels, the United States will consider its position on any draft standard after it reviews a prepared draft. Information regarding the following NAPPO panel topics, assignments, activities, and updates on meeting times and locations may be obtained from the NAPPO homepage at http://www.nappo.org or by contacting Ms. Julie E.

Well, that just about does it for another season. We had a great summer, with shows in Massachusetts, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama, Detroit, New York, and Pennsylvania. Next weekend we're in Texas, then all that's left is a little thing called the Capital Jazz SuperCruise at the end of the month! This will be our first time on a cruise, and we're looking forward to a great time. You guys – INCOGNITO is playing on Day Two!! Then I suppose it's time to get back in the studio and make some new music…
2016 Wrap-Up
14 Comments
Great Great Year for you guy's….
Come to Little Rock Arkansas soon please.
One of your # 1 Fans.
So this funny thing keeps happening…
I set my PVR to start on the Stingray Smooth Jazz channel. So, whether I just leave that channel playing in the background, or it defaults to that channel between recorded shows, it is on, a fair bit, when I'm at home.
As such, I may hear a song I like, but not readily be able to see the title or artist. I have to really like it, to bother checking. Too often, it's to get the name, so I may purchase it on iTunes.ca. (I spend too much money on iTunes, I think.)
It's starting to freak me out how often 'that song I like' turns out to be a Four80East song. I guess you make a fair amount of music in a vibe that's just right for me. 🙂
Thanks for all the terrific music! Love it!!
No, thank YOU! 🙂
Additionally, I learned about the Supercruise because, after so many times finding the song I liked was by Four80East, I finally looked y'all up online, and looked at your calendar. I saw the Jazz Supercruise listed as one of your gigs coming up in October 2016, and thought, 'Wait. WHAT! There's a jazz SUPERCRUISE, and I'm just learning about it now?!?!?'
I couldn't make it last year. But CapitalJazz will owe my future business to Four80East, as well. That's how I learned about it! 🙂
Hi Guys
I hope all is well in Four80East land.
Is there a new album in the pipeline, by any chance?
I am really looking forward to hearing some new music from you boys!
Best wishes
You guys really make my day better. Is there a cruise in 2017? Will you please come on out here to Edmonton!!!!! Mint Julep is my favorite !!!!!
Love your music, listening to your SiriusXM sessions right now in fact. Disappointed your Huntsville show got canceled, I was stoked to see you in person. Hope you will make it near here soon. And looking forward to the new material.
Hello Guys, I am a big fan of yours, i live in Holland and i want to know if you are still playing with each other because i dont see any movies on youtube of the past year.
You are so great, I hope you still make music. Thank you for all the music you have made. greetings Wendy
