smooth permanent hair reduction device with 6,000 flashes is rated out of 5 by 139.Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from I have only used this product 2 times but I already see results. I am one of those people that seems to have 5 o'clock shadow right after shaving my legs, especially in the summer. I went two days after the first use without shaving just to see how this system worked and I had a lot less hair. I am very pleased so far. I will continue to use this product for the total seven weeks to be 100% sure, but for now its seems to be doing what it is suppose to do. It also is extremely easy. I used it twice on the low setting and it seems to be enough for my hair. I will move up to medium next time to see the difference. I think its worth the money.Date published: 2013-07-08Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackie1980 from I'm a fan! I have a medium-light skin skin tone, and black course hair. I use the Me mostly on my face. I'm half Middle Eastern and facial hair has always been an issue. I've already had 8 treatments at home with the Me and have seen noticeable difference. On my face I barely have any dark hair. But the light blonde "baby hairs" on my face are much harder to get rid of. I'm going to keep up the treatments and I'm sure that eventually there will be even more progress. I find that for me it's working much better on my legs and arms than my face. Overall the expensive treatments in a clinic work better, but this is much more affordable and I can do it at home during my free time.Date published: 2016-05-03Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from This is my first home laser hair remover but I reviewed them all. As a brown skinned African American woman, I was skeptical but refusing to pay for more treatments, so I gave in. This is an awesome tool. after 4 weeks of use the hair grows in very slowly if at all. I have to admit (I use this on my chin area!!!) I have no issues and there really isn't any pain. I use the medium setting on my chin and it works perfectly. I am very happy!! Please remember, no plucking while using the laser. This is a trick one wouldn't know unless you've received professional treatments. Good luck ladies!!!!Date published: 2013-06-02Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from I have been looking for an affordable hair removal system like this for a while now and jumped at the TSV price when it was available. I have used it three times so far on my legs and underarms and my legs have almost no hair on my legs, my underarm hair has slowed down significantly (the hair is thicker there so I figured it would take longer) and I will continue to do the protocol. On my husband I have been treating his back and I cannot believe the difference in just two tratements. The thinner hair is like gone, and the thicker hair on his top half has slowed down too. Love this product and can't wait for further results.Date published: 2013-06-05Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from This hair removal device is great! I used it for my legs and I have to say it is very easy to use. I am usually not good at electronic devices but this is seriously easy to figure out! It's basically plug-it-in and ready-to-use. There is also a demonstrational video online but you can look at it just if you want reassure on how to use it... I am not kidding- if you can turn on a microwave, you can use this device - that's how easy it is! I am looking forward to the end result, but all it took was 10 minutes on each leg and pain-free. It also comes with a cute and compact tote to put it in when you want to store it in between uses....Date published: 2013-05-14Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from One thing is for sure –I HATE hair!!!! And the Me helped me get rid of it, I am not sure if it is permanent yet but I will try to update my review to let you know. When I first heard about the MeHairRemoval it sounded as if it is too good to be true BUT guess what???? It is true and AMAZING! The ME is not just pain free and super easy to use. It does the job better than anything else I have tried and trust me- I tried a lot. It is also super-fast, unlike a lot of other hair removal products it has a larger plate and so it removed more hair in one shot. This is definitely a must for everyone out there looking to get rid of unwanted hair - men and wonan.Date published: 2013-06-30Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from I am surprised to read the other reviews on this product. I was skeptical at first because it said not for light hair, but I decided to try it because of the 90 day return policy.l I have used it twice so far, and I have had excellent success. I didn't find it hard to get the light to flash at all. There was a little learning curve on the boney prominence of the Tibia, but that was the only slight problem. Used on the max intensity with no pain whatsoever. Today is the date for my third treatment, and I can't see any hairs at all already. I will continue with the recommended 7 weeks of treatment, but unless there is some major chance in hair re-growth, so far I am a big fan.Date published: 2013-06-28Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from The Me is one of the first products that I have purchased on qvc. I am truly amazed at how easy It is to use. And after only three applications I am seeing results. Its pain free too. My only two questions or concerns are: how long do the results last (are the results permanent?) and does QVC sell the replacement cartridges? I would definitely feel comfortable giving this product a 5 star rating if I knew the answers to these two questions. And as a side note, my skin feels so soft after only the third application. Not all the hair is gone, but I see a visible difference. The company should tell you to wear sunglasses when using.Date published: 2013-05-12

Clones: Genetic Variability and Chimeras
Although clones are defined as a genetically uniform assemblage of
genetic change doesn�t stop when a clone is selected. Therefore, genetic
variation must
be identified and separated from the existing clone. However, distinguishing
variation from other types of variation is not always simple.
In this lecture we will learn, 1) the structure of shoot apical
meristems, the source
of plant shoot tissues; 2) the types of plant chimeras associated with
structure; and 3) how this chimeral structure is maintained through
Reading HKDG pp. 244-250.
If necessary, review the primary and secondary anatomy of plant stems
and the
general anatomical structure of leaves, roots and fruits.
Marcotrigiano, J. 1997. Chimeras and variegation: patterns of deceit.
HortScience 32:773-784.
1. Know the following terms:
periclinal chimera
mericlinal chimera
sectorial chimera
histogenic layer
2. Describe the tunica-corpus organization of the shoot apical meristem and
its relation
to the histogenic layers. Be able to diagram a typical plant promeristem,
including the
composition of the tunica and the corpus. Indicate which cell layers are
the source of
the histogenic layers L-I, II and III.
3. Describe the histogenic composition of primary and secondary stems,
leaves, germ
and root tissues. What tissues and organs arise from each of these
histogenic layers?
4. Which propagation methods are most likely to preserve chimeras? Which
are less likely to preserve chimeras?
Lecture Notes:
Genetic changes can occur in clones, even though they are asexually
propagated. Mutations occasionally occur in cells, but we generally don�t
see their
effects unless the mutated cell is part of a meristem. In that case, the
cell undergoes
mitosis, producing many copies of the mutated genome.
Even if a mutant cell is incorporated into a meristem and multiplied,
we may not
recognize the change. In the first place, most mutations are probably
recessive. The
other copy of the gene carries on the function of the gene pair. (In this
case, the
recessive mutation will never be expressed unless seed formation results in
it being
paired with a similarly mutated partner.) Some mutations may be lethal, in
which case,
the cell dies and other non-mutated cells take its place. Other mutations
result in subtle
changes that are either not visible or are difficult to distinguish from
other types of
variation. A small fraction of mutations are expressed, however, and result
in a visibly
distinct phenotype. When this happens, the mutant is separated from the
parent clone
and either culled or established as a new clone.
Mutants may be crippling or degenerative and of no horticultural
interest. Others,
however, have considerable value. Altered growth habit, such as weeping or
forms, and some types of variegation may originate as mutations and find use
ornamentals. In the fruit industry, mutations for fruit color, fruit quality
and dwarf stature,
have resulted in important new clones.
Mutations enter meristems in either of two ways. 1) A cell in a shoot
meristem is
mutated, or 2) a mutated cell in the stem or root is incorporated into an
meristem. In either of these situations, the meristem must develop into a
shoot or a
branch for the mutant phenotype to be seen. Such a mutant branch on a tree
is referred
to as a sport or bud-sport. Sports are an important source of new clones.
Mutant meristems often contain both mutant and normal cells, at least
Plants in which two or more genotypes are growing separately, but
adjacently, are
called chimeras. Many horticulturally important clones are chimeras-
including some
types of variegated foliage, some nectarines, red color sports of apple,
dwarf growth
habit of some species, thornless blackberries and the original pink-fleshed
Thus, chimeras are both common and important.
In order to understand how we can have two or more genotypes growing
separately in the same meristem, we must understand how meristems are
The key to this is in the area containing the most primitive cells of the
meristem. This
area is called the promeristem and is found at the very tip of the shoot.
The cells in the promeristem are composed of initials and
derivatives. Even
though they all look the same, they behave differently. The initials remain
in the
promeristem and keep dividing. They are called initials, because they are
the initial (or
ultimate) source of new cells in the plant. The other cells in the
promeristem are called
derivatives, because they are derived from the initials. Other than a few
initials in each
promeristem on the plant, all of the plant�s cells are derivatives.
Derivatives in the
meristem undergo additional cell divisions while they remain in the
meristem, but they
eventually differentiate into the various cell-types of the stem, leaves and
When we look under a microscope at sections of the promeristem we see
distinctive arrangement of cells. Usually there are two layers of cells
overlaying a less
well-organized group of cells. This pattern is called tunica-corpus, meaning
a layer and
a body. The cells of the angiosperm promeristem have a tunica-corpus
Promeristems in other groups of plants are organized differently.
The tunica layers divide mostly perpendicularly to the plant surface,
so these
layers remain thin. The corpus divides in many planes and forms the bulk of
the plant
body. The layers of cells (two tunica plus one corpus) are called histogenic
because they are the source of plant tissue. The layers are designated from
outer to
inner as L-I, L-II and L-III. Very importantly, each histogenic layer has
its own set of
initials.The cells derived from each layer stay in relatively well-defined
zones as the
plant develops. Using genetic markers, biologists have traced cells from
histogenic layer into the cells of the mature plant. Thus-
1) The L-I layer gives rise to the epidermis, the single cell layer
covering the entire
primary structure of the plant (recall primary versus secondary plant
stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. The L-I layer of a shoot is also the
source of L-I
initials in the axillary buds formed on that shoot.
2) Derivatives of the L-II layer form a layer a few cells thick just under
the epidermis. In
stems this becomes the cortex. Sometimes L-II derivatives form part of
the phloem.
In leaves, L-II derivatives are found in the outer and upper portions of
the leaf blade.
In flowers, the gametes, both male and female, are derived from L-II. The
L-II layer
of a shoot is the source of the L-II initials in the axillary buds on
that shoot.
3) Derivatives of L-III comprise the core of the stem. From outer to inner
this would be
part of the cortex, most or all of the phloem and cambium (if the plant
has a
cambium), the xylem and the pith. In the leaf, L-III derivatives comprise
the central
and lower portions. Flowers and fruits are complicated, the key is that
L-II gives rise
to the gametes. Finally, L-III derivatives form the L-III initials in
axillary buds.
The figures following these notes are very helpful in clarifying
You should now have a three-dimensional picture of a primary stem
of cylinders of cells derived from each histogenic layer. The central
cylinder was derived
from L-III is overlain by the L-II cylinder which is in turn covered by the
L-I cylinder.
These cylinders are not perfect, the boundaries between layers are somewhat
but they are predictable.
Totipotency is at work here. L-I cells do not become epidermal cells
because of a
genetic predisposition. They become epidermal cells, because they are where
epidermis forms. If we transplanted an L-II cell into the L-I, it would
become an
epidermal cell. L-II cells in the stem are in the area where the cortex
forms. An irregular
growth of L-II cells might result in L-II cells being in part of the area
where vascular
tissue forms. L-III cells may differentiate into cortex, phloem, cambium,
xylem or pith. If
we transplanted an L-I or L-II cell into the L-III area, the cell would
become a cortex,
phloem, cambium, xylem or pith. Differentiation is based on position.
Similar differentiation occurs in leaves, flowers and axillary buds.
In woody plants, the cambium is a lateral meristem that forms new
phloem and
xylem. The cambium is usually derived from L-III. As a tree trunk grows and
adds new
layers each year, the new cells are derived from L-III. If L-II cells
happened to form part
of the cambium, then there would be a segment of L-II derivatives, as well.
Now we come back to chimeras- plants composed of two or more
growing separately, but adjacently. Given this angiosperm promeristem
structure with
each histogenic layer having its own initials, we have a means by which two
can coexist in the same meristem.
Examples of possible chimeral genotypes. A and B represent two different
genotypes. Either all of the initials are one genotype or the other as in
periclinal, or
there are both mutant and normal initials in one or more layers as in
mericlinal and
Periclinal Mericlinal
If the initials of L-I are all genotype A, the initials of L-II
are all genotype B and
the initials of L-III are all genotype A, then we have a chimera. Other
combinations of
two genotypes could also occur- BBA, BAB, ABB, AAB, etc. A chimera in which
all of
the initials in each layer are either one genotype or the other (either A or
B) is called a
periclinal chimera. Periclinal chimeras are the most common chimera in
because they are the most stable and can be easily propagated.
How do we recognize a periclinal chimera? The most common have
foliage. Earlier, I said that leaves are composed of derivatives from all
three histogenic
layers. If the L-II initials have a mutation that blocks chlorophyll
biosynthesis, then the
leaf cells that are derived from L-II will be white or yellow. These cells
are found in the
outer and upper portion of the leaf blade. The L-III initials are still
genetically capable of
producing chlorophyll, so those derivatives in the leaf are still green.
(L-I derivatives
form the epidermis, which is clear.) The proportion and pattern of L-II and
L-III varies
somewhat from species to species, but the chimeral pattern is easily
If L-II able to synthesize chlorophyll, but L-III unable, the
pattern would be
Another chimeral trait is thornless blackberries. Thorns are an
epidermal trait, so
if L-I has a thornless mutation, the plant is thornless. For some reason,
blackberries have so far only occurred as chimeras. L-I is thornless, but
L-II and L-III
are thorny. This has greatly complicated the culture of thornless
blackberries, as we
shall see.
If a mutation occurs in a histogenic layer, where that trait is
ordinarily expressed,
then we will detect the chimeral phenotype. A thornless mutation in L-II or
L-III would
not be immediately detectable, for instance.
Other types of chimeras also occur. Some of the initials in one
layer may be
�normal� and others mutant. This can occur in one or two layers and these
chimeras are
mericlinal. A chimera in which all three layers contain both genotypes is a
chimera. Many chimeras often originate as mericlinal or sectorial, but
stabilize as
Chimeras are propagated by methods which maintain the two genotypes
in the
same relationship in their respective histogenic layers. These methods are
asexual techniques which propagate axillary buds. Remember that we said that
initials in axillary buds were derived from L-I initials in the apical bud,
L-II from L-II and
L-III from L-III. This pattern of development preserves genetic
relationships such as the
periclinal patterns shown in the table above. Cuttings, grafting, layering
and careful
micropropagation propagate periclinal chimeras.
Adventitious buds do not propagate chimeras. The reason is that
buds initiate from cells from only one histogenic layer. Adventitious buds
usually arise
near the vascular system which is usually composed of L-III derivatives.
Depending on
the type of periclinal chimera, adventitious buds will be genetically A or
B, but not both.
(Look at the table under periclinal chimeras, L-III.) This does not mean
that adventitious
buds only have one histogenic layer. They have three histogenic layers, but
they are all
the same genotype.
Likewise, seed formation does not propagate chimeras. Gametes are
derivatives, they will be one genotype or the other, either A or B.
Self-pollination will
result in a diploid AA or BB, depending on the type of chimera. The
histogenic layers of
the seedlings will be AAA or BBB for L-I, II and III, respectively. If an A
gamete fertilized
a B gamete, or vice versa, we would have a diploid AB, which is
heterozygous, not
chimeral. The seedlings would be AAA for L-I, II and III, assuming that A
dominates B.
Mericlinal and sectorial chimeras are unstable and difficult to
propagate. This will
be clearer after the demonstrations in class. However, picture an L-I
histogenic layer as
a plate. Part of the plate is genotype A, the other part genotype B. If
axillary buds form
on the A/B boundary, then some of the axillary initials will be A and some B
and will still
be a mericlinal chimera. In fact, axillary buds are more likely to be
entirely A or entirely
B, because axillary buds usually don�t form on the AB boundary.

buds and seeds propagate chimeras.
Remember the photo of the holly seedlings that I showed in class? (A
black and
white copy is attached to Marcotrigiano�s article.) These yellow seedlings
from seed collected from an L-II chlorophyll chimera (GYG). Holly is
dioecious, so the
pollen came from a male plant somewhere. I guarantee you that the pollen
fertilized the chimeral flowers was genetically green. If green dominates
yellow, how did
we get yellow seedlings from a G x Y cross? The answer is in Marcotrigiano�s

While the credit department have always come down on us like a ton of bricks if we even suggested any kind of deal with Russia, they have not, it seems, been so picky about boring old loans and dull old venture capital. Net result: bye-bye bonus, bye-bye profits and possibly even bye-bye bank.
The first, but surely not the last, casualty of all this is the director responsible for allowing all this profligate lending, Johnny H__. This is a surprise in itself; usually they try to find someone more junior to carry the can, but I suppose they couldn't in this instance, and dear Johnny had to step in and metaphorically fall on his sword instead. Still, it's a lot better than what the FX boys had in mind for him, though that did involve a sword, too.
So now all we can do is wait for the ripple to work its way outwards. The boys seem to spend most of their time gazing mournfully at their Hermes ties, wondering if they'll ever be able to afford another one.
"Oh yes," says Laura, "the ties that bind."
"Or, in Freddie's case, the ties that blind," I reply. "Just look at that frightful yellow number he's sporting today." And then we remember what's going on, and think of all those trips to Harvey Nicks we'll never make, and we stop laughing at once.
All I can say is, thank heaven for Olivier, who has been taking me out to dinner or the cinema nearly every night in an attempt to lift my spirits.
"What is the worst that can happen?" he says over pudding (chocolate tart because I'm stressed and deserve it, obviously) each night. And then we work out that the most dreadful possibility is that I and/or other members of our happy little gang lose our jobs.
"So, then you get another one; it's not so complicated," Olivier says to me with Gallic logic. "And besides, if you have a few days off we can go on a holiday together."
Suddenly the possibility of redundancy doesn't seem so awful - it might even be a laugh - though I have the chocolate tart anyway, just in case.
Laura, it's true, is unconvinced by Olivier's happy little theory. In her book, losing your job is one of life's great stressful events, up there with divorce, bereavement or marriage. In other words, not something you just shrug off.
Quite how she comes by this idea is hard to say, since she's never been made redundant herself, but it may well be connected with her chance encounter with Rory in the Underground last week.
"Well, it was a bit early in the day for drinking, even by Rory's standards," she points out. "After all, he never used to have Special Brew for breakfast before, and certainly not out of the can."
She's right, of course. Reluctantly, I have to conclude that getting the push may not be the awfully big adventure Olivier kindly tries to make out.
What makes it worse is that none of us is responsible for losing the money in the first place, so we won't even get to be notorious and have books written about us. "Modern life is so cruel," I sigh. "My new suit would have looked perfect on the news."
I turn to Laura who is gazing at her computer screen in horror. The last time she looked this distraught was when Neil took off his trousers at that party of Rory's, so it must be something pretty terrible. And it is: a news item on the Internet that says we are cutting our trading operations to the bone with immediate effect.
But, as I point out to Laura, if it were true we'd have been the first to be told, wouldn't we...?

Try the Hotel La Vieille Maison in St Paul Lizonne. About 2 km up the road. The rooms look nicer and i've heard the food is excellent.

Female Circumcision Closer to Ban: The
United Nations on Monday moved one step closer to banning female genital mutilation, reports the
Associated Press.
A key U.N. Committee adopted a resolution — virtually assured to be approved by the
full U.N. General Assemby — that calls genital mutilation a serious threat to the mental, sexual and
reproductive well-being of females worldwide.
Such an approval carries no legal weight, but can sway other
governments morally and politically.
About 70 million girls and women were circumsized in 2010, the U.N.
says; the World Health Organization reports that around 6,000 girls are circumcised daily.
A major concern
is that immigrant communities into U.N.-member countries bring their home countries' traditions with them,
including genital mutilation.

IT WAS not something you expect to hear at the Olympic Games. "It was too easy," they said. "It wasn't difficult enough."
This was the Great Britain three-day event team plus manager, all saying sadly, resignedly, that the Olympic Games were insufficiently testing. And the thought crossed the mind: what the bloody hell are we doing here then? If the Olympic Games do not offer the supreme test to every athlete who enters, what is the point?
But this problematic easy-peasiness does not mean that the Brits have cruised serenely to the gold-medal position. On the contrary, they slipped from

Galaxy S4: Android Battery Built-In Monitoring Tool Question
Hi Guys,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500, running Android JB 4.2.2.
I've been having hard times trying to understand a specific detail in the Android Battery Built-In Monitoring Tool, accessible by navigating to Settings-->More-->Battery.
I don't understand the meaning of the blue bars associated with each app.
To make things simpler I've attached a screenshot, and as can be seen each app has an associated blue bar.
The apps TuneIn Radio and Google Search each consumed 5% of the battery power, however they differ in the length of the blue bars where TuneIn Radio has a longer bar than Google Search.
Just to add another thing not shown in the screenshot, the Screen consumed 26% of the battery power and its associated blue bar is full.
So does anyone know what's behind those blue bars ??
Any Reply is Appreciated

Re: Android Battery Built-In Monitoring Tool Question
It's basically just showing what percentage of battery each app is using, even though TunIn radio and google search are both at 5%, streaming the music took a little more power than the google search, which is why they're is a very small difference in the bar length. Your screen is using most of the battery power because your using that every time you wake up the phone. Right now my screen has used 48% of my battery and my bar is full also.

Sorry I've been absent. It's been science fair season, new university class time, PD, and I heard there may be some assessment writing I got myself into. I have now broken my new year's resolution...learn to say no once in a while.
One of my newest additions to my overbooked life is my latest class in science modeling. Ever heard of it? Does anyone use it? I find it fascinating, but would like to find some resources that are available online. The lessons I've found are geared toward high school and are just a tad high for my level. Modeling is the essence of inquiry in classrooms. It takes a concept, leads students to the learning through a demonstration, and then they take over. They produce questions that then turn into experiments, and then students white board their work to present to the class. Students then have the opportunity to drill the presenters about their data. I've done 2 lessons this way and love it! It seems like it is the way teaching should be...lead the horses to water.
Here is their website if you want to take a look: American Modeling Teachers Association

I haven't heard of science modeling, but it sounds similar to "Smarter Science". I attending a training session through my board last year.
I don't teach science this year, so I haven't used it formally, but I have encorporated some of the philosophy of getting students to explore their own questions through a couple of probability / dice experiments that I did with the lifeskills class at my elementary school - it was a great way to tackle topics at their level.

U.S. hopes for progress with Abe gov't on Futenma base issue

USA - top beneficiary of Senkaku-Diaoyu rock conflict !
Japan and the US have a natural partnership in that they are both democracies and both tied closely in economic terms. I for one am more optimistic for Japan and the US in the Western Pacific area now that Abe is back in power. Those that want to lick the boot of China on the other hand are naturally frightened by a more assertive Japan and the USA who will help keep Japan's sovereign lands free from the taint of Red China. I bet the economy of Japan does something it has not done is a good while and booms over the next six months to a year.
The US has assigned an impossible task to Japan with the Futenma base to test its loyalty to the US. Hatoyama was snubbed because he dared stand up to the US and called for a more independent Japan. Too bad Japan doesn't realize that the US is only using Japan as a disposable vassal state for their own global hegemony. The US-Japan relation is seriously lopsided in favor of the US, and Japan benefits nothing from it.
Japan ought to focus more on Asia and Europe rather than the out-of-control and collapsing empire that is the US.
The Governor will not sign off on the construction permit. Thus nothing will change, there will be no new American airfield on Okinawa. Our Governor has been in office 6 years. There have been 7 Prime Ministers during this time. Honest Abe is not going to be able to get that new American airbase built.
The Governor will not sign off on the construction permit. Thus nothing will change, there will be no new American airfield on Okinawa.
Ahhh....to the uniformed, let me educate you about something here. The governor does not HAVE to sign off on the project for it to actually happen.
Yes, it would be easier for Abe if he did, BUT if Nakaima decides not to sign off on it Abe has it well within his power to change the current regulations. (The Gov only has the power to stop any new construction if it includes any landfill projects that include any of the surrounding water around the island.)
The LDP with Komeito have more than enough votes to ensure that if Abe chooses to override Nakaima on this issue in the interest of NATIONAL DEFENSE, there is NOTHING Nakaima can do to stop it.
This is VERY possible, and it's very easy to understand why the US believes that the issue can FINALLY be resolved.
In the long run this is probably the best thing for Okinawa as well, because other bases then will be closed and the national government will funnel more money into the island to assist in improving the local economy.
Our Governor has been in office 6 years. There have been 7 Prime Ministers during this time.
Your Govenor is Mary Fallin and has been in office less than one year!
You really dont know Japanese politics to use this as an example. Gov's do not change when parties change power. Nakaima is also LDP and ONLY decided to join the anti-base group just prior to the last election. The leopard changed spots before and will do so again if he sees the benefit to himself.
YuriOtani - The governor will be overridden, just like the farmers in Chiba were overridden to build Narita Airport.
Thomas Anderson: "Japan benefits nothing from it ( the U.S.-Japan relationship )
I dunno... keeping Japan out of trouble and providing open markets for its products benefits Japan, no?
Poor old US military.
It seems that no one wants them.
Okinawa certainly doesn't.
Mainland Japan doesn't either.
And according to a documentary I watched last night, Guam, Hawaii and the Philippines wouldn't have them at any price.
What's the panic anyway?
Why is the U.S.A. so fixated on China?
Why is the U.S.A. so fixated on China?
If you don't know that, you have problems...
whatever the decisions are, Okinawa will still be screwed over.
As a diplomat representing the democratic U.S. government, Kurt Tong had better know how to deal with this Futenma relocation issue. He shouldn't pressure the forthcoming Abe government to relocate Futenma within Okinawa like a baggage on a carousel.
The Futenma issue can never be solved simply by moving the base to Henoko in northern Okinawa. The consensus here is that it should be moved out of Okinawa and outside Japan without any strings attached. The U.S. government doesn't have an inherent right to demand anything in return for its closedown. As I said elsewhere repeatedly, the land on which Futenma sits was forcefully requisitioned by the occupying U.S. military. Naturally, it must rather be returned to Okinawa with compensation.
Does the U.S. military policy toward Okinawa conform to the democratic principles on which the U.S. was founded, Mr. Tong?
The consensus here is that it should be moved out of Okinawa and outside Japan without any strings attached.
Let me correct this for you, the opinion of less than 1% of the population of Japan.
The Futenma issue can never be solved simply by moving the base to Henoko in northern Okinawa. The consensus here is that it should be moved out of Okinawa and outside Japan without any strings attached.
Exactly, that's what I notice too.
Unfortunately it seems that Yubaru-san didn't see the word "here."
Just to avoid any further misunderstanding, "here" = "in Okinawa."
If the truth were known, no one wants the US military anywhere near them, in Okinawa, on the mainland of Japan, in Guam, Hawaii, the Philippines or South Korea.
I would hope that Abe will represent his people and not just kowtow to his "advisors."
Abe & the rest of the LDP are "yes men" when it comes to U.S. requests/demands. Look for Futenma to be moved up north to Henoko in the very near future. As "Yubaru" & "Serrano" state above, the governor of Okinawa does not have the power to rule in this, the Futenma/Henoko, case. That's just the way it is ...
What's likely to happen is that Abe will demand US security in regards to defebse against China but will be, as he was last time, wishy washy about Futenma.
I would hope that Abe will represent his people and not just kowtow to his "advisors."
That seems to represent the general attitude here, and that's all very well. But ultimately the problem is that Japan does not have an independent defense. As long as it is dependent on the US for defense, the US will continue to retain the current speaking power, especially on defense issues.
If Japan is really dedicated to saving Okinawa from the "horrors" of the American bases, it will have to divert 1-2% of its GNP from the burgeoning welfare and public works programs to the defense program. With carefully invested 2-3% GNP defense to include a nuclear capability, Japan will probably have enough to turn itself into a tough enough nut that American defense assistance becomes merely "very nice" instead of a life and death problem.
But while it is probably within Japan's ability to choose such a path, politically it is impossible. Sigh...
But while it is probably within Japan's ability to choose such a path, politically it is impossible. Sigh...
Nah. It's a piece of cake! Seeing as Okinawans are the only ones demanding that the U.S. troops leave, increase the tax rate on the Okinawans accordingly to pay for the increase in defense spending that would accompany any reduction in U.S. forces! It's only fair.
Speaking as an average American, I don't care one iota about whether U.S. troops are in Japan or not. If the Japanese really thought it was that big of an issue, they would have terminated the security agreement as soon as they unilaterally could (specifically, ten years after the agreement was signed.) By the 11th anniversary of the signing, the only remaining U.S. troops stationed in Japan would have been the embassy guards. But that didn't happen. The security agreement is still in force and so the needs of the U.S. in regards to defending Japan are going to still take priority over a bunch of entrepreneurs who want to use base property to build tourist hotels.
The marine air base needs to stay in Okinawa. Whether it remains where it is or moves out in the country is the only issue at hand. That the Okinawans refuse to accept the planned move gives lie to their claims that it's all about "safety of the neighborhoods and noise". That was just a heavy smokescreen that was exposed when the Okinawan's bluff was called and plans were made to move the base where there was NO city to endanger or annoy with noise.
Japan cannot do without the US defense, bottom line. So they need to live up to their promises and not just wink and say "trust me" and then turn around and play the opposite card. If they truly want to get rid of the US then Okinawa, as Fadamor points out, is going to have to increase it's spending 10-fold for protection -- for which it will blame the government.
Actually I mischaracterized myself. I am not an "average American". If you asked an average American about Futenma airbase, you would get a blank stare in return. This is not a knock on them, they just have more important things to worry about than some local dispute in a foreign country. To be sure, the dispute DOES get reported in U.S. papers, but even the Washington Post rarely allocates more than a column or two to the Futenma debate. I guess that's because the dispute is between a Japanese prefecture and the government of Japan, rather than specifically with the U.S. military.
Fadamor she is not my Governor as I did not vote for her or any candidate. Brad Henry was in office 8 years before being forced out by term limit.
It does not matter what Americans want for Okinawa. Might as well ask what Okinawa people want in America. The people of Okinawa will not accept another American airbase. Perhaps the American Marines will help defeat the protestors and they can bash in some heads. Honest Abe is not going to have his way. It will take another Okinawa only law to build the base and there will be the devil to pay!
It matter not what I write because the anti base people do not need my permission. I am just writing what will happen. As for voting I always vote for anti base. That is my right under a democratic government. The early Americans would say we have the right under God for self determination.
Fadamor she is not my Governor as I did not vote for her or any candidate. Brad Henry was in office 8 years before being forced out by term limit.
That's great, but I didn't say anything about governors. That was Yubaru who commented on who was governor.
Fadamor Prime Ministers in Japan are lucky if they last a year. Both of the above Governors enjoyed wide spread support from the people. When Honest Abe tries to impose the new base it will be his downfall. He can not serve both the Americans and Japanese people. He needs to serve the Japanese people to survive politically.
The early Americans would say we have the right under God for self determination.
Yes they would, but in order to get that right they revolted from the ruling government. Are you prepared to secede from Japan?
Fadamor you are being silly now (not an insult) as the Okinawa people have no weapons. If needed the US Marines would leave their bases and put it down. Second the new Ryukyu Kingdom would be very poor. Am so sleepy and do not see any road leading to succession even if the people of Okinawa wanted it. I would not be in favor of it. Having said that all of the Okinawa only laws need to go away.
It doesn't necessarily take a war to secede. If a petition to secede was presented to the Diet, Japan might say "good riddance" and cut you off without debate. What it WOULD take, however, is a willingness to abandon any and all benefits that being a part of a larger nation afford. It would also entail funding your OWN defense forces. Obviously, you would be asking the U.S. forces to leave ASAP. Prefectural infrastructure upgrades would no longer receive additional monetary support from Tokyo. Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to tax your new country enough to be able to fund such an endeavor?
What it WOULD take, however, is a willingness to abandon any and all benefits that being a part of a larger nation afford. It would also entail funding your OWN defense forces.
This is the problem in a nutshell. The people in Okinawa who are against the military and bases (btw they are typically against BOTH JIETAI and US Military) want the freedom of being a part of Japan without any responsibility for it's defense.
Okinawa would fall apart within months if it separated itself from Japan. Only lunatics and ignorant fools would think that Okinawa could survive on it's own.
Fadamor she is not my Governor as I did not vote for her or any candidate. Brad Henry was in office 8 years before being forced out by term limit.
You missed the point entirely.
It's about time to free Okinawa from US Military Bases. It's been squatting there fro sooo many years now. It's not doing Okinawa. Japan any good but problems. Let the bases out and Japan will even save lots of money in helping maintain those bases for USA.
Let the bases out and Japan will even save lots of money in helping maintain those bases for USA.
Would you mind explaining how Japan will save money? And if the US leaves, why would Japan maintain the bases for the USA in the first place?
Japan would save a lot of money from the removal of the American bases. Would only have to place another squadron of F 15 aircraft to replace the Americans. Most of what is in Okinawa is not for the defense of Okinawa. All of that new land will be put back into Okinawa for the use of Okinawa people. I would want to grow rice on my property. Then the land can stay in my family. Turn ground used to kill into feeding hungry people.
Fadamor I have never asked for an Independence Ryukyu Kingdom. I do demand Okinawa receive equal treatment under Japanese law with no special Okinawa only laws. A bit of semi-autonomous would be nice but complete independence no.
Would you mind explaining how Japan will save money? And if the US leaves, why would Japan maintain the bases for the USA in the first place?
I think he's just having issues with his English. The way I'm interpreting what he was trying to say, he's claiming that the bases are no benefit to the defense of Japan. His claim of saving money is based on the fact that Japan spends money on the operation of the bases now. I guess he thinks the bases would be closed if the Americans left and the expenditures would no longer be needed, but he's failing to realize that Okinawa STILL will need defense forces, so the bases would be kept open but staffed with JSDF personnel. Instead of saving money, Japan would be spending MORE money to completely staff and operate the bases. Just one of the "inconvienient truths" that the anti-American contingent knows about but doesn't like to talk about.
Most of what is in Okinawa is not for the defense of Okinawa.
That's an incorrect statement. ALL of what is in Okinawa is not for the defense of Okinawa. It's in Okinawa for the defense of JAPAN. Okinawans have this humorus tendency to pretend that the prefecture of Okinawa has some sort of priority over what happens in Japan and anything in Okinawa has to be directly related to the prefecture. It's almost cute how their naivety knows no bounds.
You've invoked America's Founding Fathers in saying that you have a right for "self-determination", yet disavow any desire to actually GIVE yourself "self-determination". You apparently would much rather complain about Tokyo not listening to your demands than to actually do something to make your demands be taken more seriously (like, say, separate from Japan and form your own government). That's certainly your choice to make, but don't try to equate the American Founding Fathers to the Okinawans. When it comes to a comparison between them, the Okinawans are found to be severely lacking in backbone. The Americans in 1776 actually DID something about their situation. The Okinawans would rather just whine.
Fadamor the American founding fathers had to use force for their independence. They had weapons to be able to do this. The people of Okinawa do not have any weapons. There is nothing we can do but talk. The mainland people have made Okinawa the place for the majority of American troops. They had a very short occupation by American troops while Okinawa is still occupied by the Americans. They have all of the best land and disrupt both sea and air traffic. You go on about no backbone but just you wait until Honest Abe tries to make that new airbase. We have no weapons just ourselves. The founding Americans had weapons and if you say Japan took our weapons you are wrong. The Americans took all weapons from the Okinawa people. Again there is nothing we can do but talk and demonstrate.
Again, there's no reason you HAVE to use force. The lack of weapons actually HELPS you. If the people of Okinawa decide to secede, Japan would look totally in the wrong if they went in and suppressed it with the military. The U.S. would likely opt out of assisting Japan in that instance because - again - there is no excuse to be sic-ing the military after unarmed civilians. If Japan demanded that the U.S. help under the terms of the security agreement, that might actually force the U.S. to be the one to unilaterally terminate the agreement.
If the overwhelming majority of Okinawans decided to secede, there's not much Japan can do about it and remain on the "high ground". Remember that little thing about Article 9? Civil Wars count as wars that Japan can't start, either.

If you've ever wished you could see or photograph the whole sky all at once, now you can with a Sky Monitor. These highly specialized cameras employ a "fish-eye" lens that delivers a 360 degree overhead view. Rugged enough to withstand all types of weather, they stand up to sunlight and provide daytime views of sky conditions. Some of these amazing units are also sensitive enough to pick up objects as faint as the Milky Way.
Imagine being able to check sky conditions at your remote observatory through your computer. Think of the possibilities of a camera that can time-lapse image a meteor shower or provide a live feed of bright astronomical activities. You can watch a sunrise or sunset, spot a rainbow, or check for aurora. These are just a few of the applications a Sky Monitor can do for you.

Playing With Numbers
It seems like there's nothing original anymore. Case in point: Nine, the Tony Award-winning musical closing Irving Community Theater's 2008 season. It's inspired by Federico Fellini's classic film 8 1/2, which was about a director suffering from "director's block" and was autobiographical in itself. Got it? Oh, and take note--to bring things back full circle, the movie version of the stage musical based on the movie is scheduled to begin filming any day now. But before Nine gets the Hollywood treatment, see it onstage as it was originally intended 8 p.m. Thursday at the Dupree Theater at the Irving Arts Center, 3333 N. MacArthur Blvd. Performances runs through August 9, and tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors/students. Call 972-252-2787 or visit irvingtheatre.org.

A devastating tropical cyclone struck Myanmar on the 2nd and 3rd May causing huge destruction and tremendous loss of life: 134,000 dead or missing. The World Food Program has distributed 8,500 tons of food to support 2.4 million people who remain homeless and hungry. However, more than 1.1 million people still don't have adequate food, water or shelter. Help prevent a second wave of deaths from malnutrition and disease. WFP aims to feed 750,000 people in great need over the next six months.
WFP continues to distribute rice and beans, and high-energy biscuits for children. WFP is seeking to provide a full basket of rice, beans, cooking oil and salt to assist people in immediate need.
The project will feed 750,000 people in Myanmar still in need of immediate food assistance in the next 6 months, and save the victims from the danger of deaths from malnutrition and disease.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
