Skandinavisk Candle
Skandinavisk Candle
Skandinavisk's scented candle collection celebrates the uniqueness and diversity of Scandinavia. Each is hand-poured into a painted glass votive from a special blend of perfume and vegetable wax with a 100% cotton wick and engraved beechwood lid.
BÅL: Pronounced 'Borl', is a smokey reminder of the morning after the night before. Of summer campfires by the lake and sleeping under the stars, of roaring bonfires in the snow, glowing faces and shadows in the dark.
RO: Peace, calm and tranquility from the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. A subtle symphony of fresh grass and crumpled leaves, ambered woods and hidden blankets in the dunes.
FJORD: Coniferous forests, crashing waterfalls and abundant fruits magnify the drama of the Norwegian fjords. With joyous notes of woods and ripening orchards, wild berries, blackcurrants and raspberry flowers.
HAV: The endless coastlines of Scandinavia are surrounded by the cold waters of the North Atlantic, Baltic and Arctic seas. Infused with notes of water flora, driftwood, sea froth and fresh air.
KOTO: Koto is the traditional Finnish word for home. A cosy refuge from the rugged climate, an intimate space to refresh the soul. This KOTO collection is a collaboration from SKANDINAVISK & Design Bloggers United and blends delicate notes of amber with exotic jasmine, mandarin and vanilla.
HYGGE: Hygge, pronounced 'Hu-Gah' is Danish DNA, a reflection of the Scandinavian art of creating intimacy, fellowship and cosiness in the smallest everyday moments. With echoes of tea and baked strawberry cake, rose petals and wild mint.
KOBENHAVN: Kobenhavn is inspired by the urban bliss of the Danish capital, where bicycles, cobblestones and seafaring history mix in perfect symbiosis with contemporary city living. Notes of smokey tea, foraged berries, bicycle oil and a spray of irises.
NAT: Danish/Norwegian for 'night'. Midnight in the garden of Scandinavia. Echoes of a late evening at the summer house in the distant countryside where the fir trees tower over the silent lake and the elves dance seductively in the honeysuckle mist.
DAG: Scandinavian for 'day' and pronounced 'Dae'. Sun warms, breeze cools, the earth breathes again. Reflections on a Scandinavian garden in full bloom when the days never end, with buzzing herb gardens and colourful sprays of lily, violet and magnolia.
BÆR: Danish/Norwegian for 'berry'. Reminisces of family trips outdoors to forage for cloudberries, blueberries and ligonberries, of sweet-smelling reductions on the stove and warm, zingy sauces poured over ice-cream.
SKOG: Swedish/Norwegian for 'forest'. Boreal forests cover half of Scandinavia stretching unbroken from the far south to the Arctic Circle. A morning mist of pine needles and woodland lily of the valley, musk and aged leather.

Sun's poles go quadrupolar 20128 comments - Click for Blog
Sun's poles to go quadrupolar 2008-2012
A quote from F. Guimaraes:"Therefore, assuming that we're already in a new grand minimum (of which I have no doubts about) we have 3 periods with which we could compare C24: cycles C14, C5 and the Maunder minimum.
The present data seems to indicate that C24 is lower than C14 and C5.
Therefore, we're facing a new grand minimum that is comparable to the Maunder minimum or even lower than that (Ice Age).
The Japanese study is bringing only more support and some physical explanation for what the present data already suggests."
(According to scientists at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the Riken research foundation, current sunspot activity resembles a period in the 17th century known as the Maunder Minimum, the coldest part of the Little Ice Age.)

Earlier this year, Google boosted the amount of health information it provides to users via the Knowledge Graph. When you ask about a common health condition, you can get instant medical facts related to it right form the results page. It shows symptoms, treatments, details about how common it is, whether it's critical or contagious, what ages it affects, etc.
On Thursday, Google announced some more improvements including hundreds more conditions. It will soon include over 900, which is twice as many as what it started with.
Google is also improving the visual design and adding more specific triggering to make it quicker and easier to find the relevant info. They're also adding a "download PDF" link to make it easy to print the info.
"We're making sure to include neglected tropical diseases, a set of infections that affect over 1.5 billion people including 500 million children in poorer regions," says product manager Prem Ramaswami. "We think it's important for people to have facts on these diseases, such as Dengue Fever (already included), Chikungunya, and Leishmaniases (to be added soon). Today the feature is still only in U.S. English, but we plan to expand it to more languages and regions."
"As before, we've consulted and worked closely with a team of doctors to curate and validate this information," Ramaswami adds. "We've gotten lots of positive, helpful feedback from our users and medical professionals, and we'll keep working to bring useful health information to your fingertips, whether in the Google app or on desktop."
Google is recommending that people use the PDF feature to print the information out and take it to their doctor. In fact, the company says that this feature has been heavily requested by doctors themselves.

White Fungus Huai San and Chicken Soup
My colleague was sharing with me the other day about a soup that she said her toddler son literally polished two bowls of the soup. Yes, according to her, it was that good. Well, I have to try it to believe it. I asked her for the recipe of course and while she told me the portions, my lightning fast mind went to work on how it would be like if I were to cook it.
Unfortunately I was so in deep thought that I totally forgotten the last ingredient that she mentioned. It was some ingredient that enhanced the flavours of chicken and white fungus. I couldn't be bothered to ask her again and decided that I would make up the third ingredient with something that I was familiar with – huai san – my oh-so-sticky friend.
The tuber is really one of the slimmest ingredient I have ever work with before, so that's one of the reasons why I rarely employ the use of this ingredient. But I felt white fungus and chicken would do well with huai san for this soup. And so, here we go. My first attempt at this soup.
Oh by the way, I'm case you're wondering, my wife thought the Oxtail Stew with Carrots that I made the other day was only so-so. Personally, I thought it was fantastic.
2 large Chicken Drums (de-boned)
A packet of White Fungus
A tube of Huai San (you can get from NTUC)
A few Chinese Scallops
1. Boil a kettle of water. Dump the chicken drums (with thigh meat) into the pot. Empty the packet of White Fungus into a bowl of water, let it soak for a while so that it will expand. Then once it is ready, dump it into the pot. (when I first made this soup, I made a newbie mistake of not soaking, and it soaked up all my delicious soup while it was in the thermal cooker!)
2. Clean the huai san and then chop into chunks, then dump it into the pot. Add a few dried scallops and salt to taste. Add boiling water. Turn to high heat for 15 minutes with lid on. Once done, place in thermal cooker to consume 12 hours later.
Bon Appetit!

Toyota's manufacturing plants in North America are launching a donation drive among employees to assist earthquake and tsunami relief efforts in Japan.
The manufacturing operations, headquartered in Erlanger, in Northern Kentucky, will match dollar for dollar all donations from North American employees, temporary workers and contractors, spokesman Rick Hesterberg said. There is no cap on the match, he said.
Toyota is coordinating with the Cincinnati chapter of the American Red Cross, given its proximity to the headquarters' operations. The Kentucky-led effort comes on top of an announcement by the Japanese company that it will donate $3.75 million to relief efforts.
The company's manufacturing operations in North America expect no immediate effect from the earthquake, which damaged numerous manufacturing plants in Japan, including four Toyota subsidiaries. To ensure worker safety, though, Toyota has halted production at all plants in Japan, including subsidiary manufacturers, through Wednesday.

A minnow has set out on the waters of investment banking, where whale-size firms like Goldman Sachs & Co. swim. But to hear Nathan A. Chapman Jr. tell it, there's little or no competition for Chapman Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: CMAN), which went public in February. After all, the founder, president and CEO says he's working where the big fish don't go.
"We are pioneering a domestic emerging market strategy," says Chapman, whose Baltimore brokerage and finance firm targets capital-starved African, Asian and Hispanic American companies longing for a banking partner. Tapping an underserved market might be just what he needs to thrive. "In today's market two types of investment banking firms will be successful: large, well-capitalized global firms and smaller niche firms," says Michael Flanagan, an independent securities analyst at Financial ServiCe Analytics, a Ft. Washington, Pennsylvania, firm that tracks the industry. "But to win, the niche player has to bring expertise to the table."
The $8 million Chapman raised in his offering should go a long way in developing his niche. The extra capital will help Chapman take companies public as a sole or lead manager. The cash will also help beef up the brokerage's research staff. And an influx of money will help Chapman make a market in company stock it has underwritten.
That's only half of the story. Chapman has an urge to merge and plans to actively seek out acquisitions to broaden its base. The reasoning is twofold. Acquisitions should enable Chapman to entice talent from other firms and at the same time ply new geographic markets.
Last year, Chapman's many ventures helped revenues rise about 4% to $3 million, although net income dropped almost 17% to $336,987. Chapman won't provide any predictions, but he says he expects both revenue and earnings to improve this year. Meanwhile, an earnings drop-off hasn't been a hindrance to the new stock's performance. Chapman shares, after coming to market at $8 each, had risen to $10 as of press time, a 25% increase. No doubt, that makes the boss happy since he still holds 62% of the shares, but it makes the stock a bit pricey with a price-to-earnings ratio of almost 66 on 1997 earnings. So far, that doesn't scare Barbara Bowles, whose Kenwood Group in Chicago has invested in Chapman. Bowles says she thinks the stock will outdo the bond or money markets. As to the stock market, however, that remains to be seen.
Underwriting money management products is one way to grow earnings. Chapman is focused on managing funds for institutions and individuals alike. His firm handles pension funds for Texaco, provides brokerage services for Smith Barney Asset Management and compiles stock research.
Chapman currently offers four mutual funds. In April, he added the DEM Equity Fund, an open-end emerging markets fund, to the lineup. The fund has over $10 million in assets and invests in minority- and women-owned businesses.
Chapman sees his company playing an important role in the finances of African American investors and the companies they control. So while Jesse

Mr. Tim Adams also signed a notarized affidavit (Figure 15) "swearing he was told by hissupervisors in Hawaii that no long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate existed for Barack Obama Jr. in Hawaii and that neither Queens Medical Center nor Kapiolani Medical Center inHonolulu had any record of Obama having been born in their medical facilities."
A copy of the signed affidavit is provided.
So suddenly now there IS a long form?
I mean THAT is just one minor problem.

I was under the impression that links were posted so people could read the info themselves.
Over the past few weeks, a Kentucky resident and teacher named Timothy Adams has made the rounds online and on talk radio with an extraordinary claim -- he was the "senior elections clerk" for Honolulu in 2008, where it was an open secret that the city and state had no proof of Barack Obama's citizenship. ...
I checked with Glen Takahashi, the administrator of the Honolulu City Clerk's office, and while he verified that Adams worked there, he explained – gently making it clear he did not want to "call anyone a liar" -- that Adams never actually had access to information about Barack Obama.
"Our office does not have access to birth records," Takahashi said. "That's handled by the state of Hawaii Department of Health. Where he's getting that, I don't know. Put it this way: Barack Obama was not trying to register to vote in Hawaii. He is, as far as I know, not a registered voter here. So no one was looking that up."
Takahashi explained that the "senior elections clerk" job that Adams held was a low-level data entry position dealing with voter registration and absentee ballots -- Adams was one of dozens of temporary employees who staffed the pre-election rush. And he contradicted Adams's claims that Obama's lack of a birth certificate was an "open secret" or that voters contacted the office to ask about it.
"To be honest, I fielded no questions about that," Takahashi said. "Why would anyone ask us? We don't have those records."

You do not understand those 18 pages either then?
"I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity," Adams explained. "I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record." At the time, there were conflicting reports that Obama had been born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, as well as the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children across town. So Adams says his office checked with both facilities. "They told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate for him,'" he said. "They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man's birth." To date, no Hawaiian hospital has provided documented confirmation that Obama was born at its facility. WND confirmed with Hawaiian officials that Adams was indeed working in their election offices during the last presidential election. "His title was senior elections clerk in 2008," said Glen Takahashi, elections administrator for the City and County of Honolulu. Takahashi also confirmed Adams' time frame at the office from spring until the month of August. "We hire temporary workers, because we're seasonal," he said. However, when WND asked Takahashi if the elections office could check on birth records, he said, "We don't have access to that kind of records. [There's] no access to birth records." Adams responded, "They may say, 'We don't have access to that.' The regular workers don't, the ones processing ballots; but the people in administration do. I was the one overseeing the work of the people doing the balloting." ...continued at Source.

Why are you avoiding the actual document posted in the OP? NO, I am not going to explain it. The document speaks for itself, and shows some new problems with the BC that have not been pointed out before. If after you have been through it, and feel like you can point out where this expert has erred, then please do so. Otherwise, your off topic remarks degrading birthers are falling on deaf ears. Character assassinations are not going to work with this document, as this person has taken a considerable amount of time and effort in compiling it. But go ahead and be the fool if you want to be. That's on you. Not us.

Here is an interesting comment from UBS Wealth Management cheif Bob McCann. This is a quotation told to our contributing editor John Byrne in McCann's first on-the-record interview to be given to any magazine in October after joining UBS. Prior to joining UBS, McCann spoke generally about his attitude to bonuses. Clearly he is cautious, if not a skeptic of big bonues. Anyway, here is what he told our own John Byrne:
"Here is what I am not interested in: paying someone a lot of money and have them come in and effectively retire. I want people that want to go to work hard. ... I think some firms have made a mistake in the last few years by frankly paying too much for advisors, giving them far too much guaranteed money; ….if you are going to come to a firm and there is a time and cost that comes with it [then], I have no problem with financial package that recognizes that transition. But if you pay too much who wins? I think the advisor wins and sets the wrong dynamic ... and quite often the firm loses and sometimes the client loses; I don't want to do that."

Baroness Seear: My Lords, before the noble Lord sits down, I am sure that he is not misleading the House, but no commission actually applies the law. It brings a case to the law courts as a result of its investigations; it is then the law courts which impose the law. There is no question of the commission acting as a legal body.
Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish: My Lords, I suggest that the noble Baroness looks at the amendments we are discussing and asks what interpretation can be put on them.
I turn now to Amendments Nos. 90 and 91as I have not yet finished and not yet sat downwhich deal with the separate question of the role of the National Advisory Council on Employment of People with Disabilities, NACEPD. Let me try to explain why we believe that NACEPD should be retained and why I hope that my noble friend will withdraw these two amendments.
In summary, our aims are to: avoid institutional duplication; retain expertise while the employment code of practice is being drawn up; and ensure that government receive advice in the long term on employment and training matters from whichever body is then most appropriate to provide it. The NDC will be the primary source of advice to government on general issues and will be the lead body pursuing the aims of the legislation. What we are seeking to do in subsections (9) and (10) of Clause 34 is to ensure that the NDC does not waste its time by looking at issues which more naturally fall to an existing statutory body, that is to say, NACEPD.
NACEPD's members are appointed because of their knowledge and expertise of employment and disability issues. Ministers in the former employment department have drawn on their advice in making decisions and senior officials meet with members regularly to discuss programmes, services and policies affecting people with disabilities. Moreover, we need their help now. Amendments Nos. 100 and 101 provide for the deletion of Clauses 37 and 38 of the Bill, which provide for my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Education and Employment to draw up and issue a code of practice to support employment rights.
Employers and voluntary organisations want a code to be available in time to help them become familiar with the law and advise them on the steps they might need to take. NACEPD will perform immediately the task of helping us with the code of practice and guidance. That is the reason I hope my noble friend will not press Amendments Nos. 100 and 101.
This debate turns on two points: first, whether the Government, acting on the advice of influential and independent advisory bodies, should take responsibility for implementing this ambitious legislation or whether we should delegate this responsibility to a new, untried, centralised bureaucracy. We do not believe that government and Parliament should abandon their responsibility in this new and sensitive area. The second point is how best to change attitudes and actions in society to ensure that disabled people are able to secure their rights. We believe the mechanisms provided in this Bill are the best approach to bringing about the necessary changes and ensuring that disabled people get the help they need at the right time and the right place effectively to secure their rights.
It is in the nature of pressure groups always to want more for the people they represent. But it is the duty of government and the House to bring forward measures which take account of the needs of all members of society. That is why again I hope that, having heard my explanations, my noble friend will withdraw his amendment. If he does not seek to withdraw it and presses the issue to a vote, I hope that not only my noble friends but also other noble Lords who look seriously at this issue will join me in the Lobbies.
Lord Lester of Herne Hill: My Lords, before the Minister sits down
Lord Swinfen: My Lords, this has been a long and interesting debate, particularly when coupled with the even longer debate that we had at Committee stage. There is some confusion over the investigative powers in these amendments. A number of those who have spoken suggested that they are general investigative powers; that the NDC could go into a place of work and investigate the general ideas behind the way that that operator was dealing with disabled people. These powers are no more than the powers one would need to investigate an individual case before carrying outpreferablya conciliation rather than going off to a tribunal.
My noble friend Lord Renton mentioned that under these amendments the NDC would have to set up branches throughout the country. There is no disputing that. The Government have already said that they would have to set up a number of organisations throughout the country or make use of existing organisations, and presumably fund them; so there is no difference between us.
There has been some talk of the cost of this body. I realise that this is a difficult area because it is a new subject. I understand that the EOC costs £7 million and the CRE £15 million annually. But these amendments do not give the NDC the same powersit would not be so powerfulthough I recognise that it is a difficult area. Money would need to be spent to ensure that the powers behind the Bill were enforced. That would be the case whether or not my amendments were accepted. The importance that the Government appear to give to the NDC, without these amendments, may be recognised by the suggestion that it will cost only £250,000 a year.
I listened with interest to what my noble friend and others said. I have not been satisfied and should therefore like to test the opinion of the House.
On Question, Whether the said amendment (No. 86A) shall be agreed to?
Their Lordships divided: Contents, 136; Not-Contents, 164.
Resolved in the negative, and amendment disagreed to accordingly.
5.57 p.m.
[Amendment No. 87 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.]

It must be nice being a Democratic president. No matter what you do – even investigate the press – there's always someone in the media willing to defend it. The latest defense comes from Reuters media columnist Jack Shafer.
Shafer wrote a May 24 piece raising the question: "What war on the press?" His strange summary point was that "all this legal battering of the press, while real, hardly rises to the level of war." Perhaps he wouldn't consider it a war unless Obama started treating journalists like some third-world dictator.
The longtime media critic began with three massive paragraphs and nearly 400 words detailing how everybody from the lefties at The New York Times, Washington Post and Slate to libertarians at Reason or the Post's quasi-conservative Jennifer Rubin all agreed "President Barack Obama has declared war on the press."
Everybody but Shafer, that is.
Rudy Giuliani says DOJ spying is 'totally unethical'
Fox News Latino: Why James Rosen matters to all of us
They all stand with Fox News' James Rosen
Assault on First Amendment needs to stop
Judge apologizes for lag in unsealing documents in leak case
DOJ seized phone records for Fox News numbers, reporter's parents
Did Holder mislead Congress about targeting reporters like James Rosen?
Which Journos Will Make Holder's VIP List?
DOJ acknowledges Holder on board with warrant for Fox reporter's emails
Shafer's 1,400-word half-hearted defense focused on "language in the affidavit for search warrant for Fox News reporter James Rosen's emails," because the document called it a "criminal offense."
The column then relied on an explanation from a George Washington University Law School professor who said that expression was "not a prelude to a prosecution." So you can call journalism "criminal," as long as you don't prosecute today.
The rest of the piece agreed with journalists on most every point – but with finesse of a curveball pitcher nibbling at the corners.
Shafer was never willing to completely admit things are as bad as the 10 separate news organizations he mentions claim. His nuances were reminiscent of Bill Clinton's classic "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."
Shafer went on to admit that "there has been" a leak crackdown, but claimed it was mostly among bureaucrats and not journalists. He even noted that his colleagues compare the "tightlipped" administration to an information "black hole."
But at every step along the way, Shafer undercut the arguments against Obama. He whined that the press also lobbies "just like any other interest group whose privilege is threatened by government laws, policies and prosecutions." And naturally, he used the traditional liberal defense – blame Republicans, because they too have "cheered on leak-chasers."
While that's a traditional liberal defense, Shafer has proclaimed that he isn't exactly liberal.
He worked at the libertarian magazine Inquiry until 1984, according to an adoring profile by The American Journalism Review. And, in a 2000 election piece for Slate, he declared support for the Libertarian Party platform. "I agree with the Libertarian Party platform: much smaller government, much lower taxes, an end to income redistribution, repeal of the drug laws, fewer gun laws, a dismantled welfare state, an end to corporate subsidies, First Amendment absolutism, a scaled-back warfare state," he wrote.
But his career and actions speak louder than those words. He spent more than a decade as editor of the left-wing alternative weekly, The Washington City Paper. And moved on from there to work at the lefty Slate until 2011.
He spent a lot of that time and who knows how many column inches bashing Fox and its owner Rupert Murdoch. (Writer's Note: Murdoch also owns this website, in case you didn't know.)
On Shafer's own personal site, he has a prominent link to a "Hot Topic" called "Everything Murdoch." That page includes 51 columns involving Fox or Murdoch and that's just from 2007 to 2011. One post has the headline: "The wrong and the right reasons for hating the media mogul." That's a small flavor of his obsession.
It's not like he stopped when he was laid off at Slate, either.
A May 21 Reuters column criticized Fox reporter Rosen repeatedly "because he practiced poor journalistic tradecraft." While Shafer defended the concept of Rosen's reporting, his column was one long attack on it. "Even teenagers practice better tradecraft than this when deceiving parents," he argued.
That column started off with eight journalists and pundits criticizing the administration's intrusion into the press. Every one of those names was in addition to the 10 he cited in his main administration defense three days later. But Shafer claimed these eight were just "grousing," so it must not be that bad.
Shafer's columns appear with the tagline: "Jack Shafer is a Reuters columnist but his opinions are his own." Thankfully, among the media, that is pretty close to true. Shafer's oddball defense of Obama needs to stay that way – an army of one.

As a writer, I should be able to testify to Raz Mason's gifts easily. And yet I find myself searching for ways to describe her supportive, insightful, gentle ability to lead me out of myself into full consciousness of who I am and what I want to be.
Sometimes I wonder if she is somehow tuned in to parts of my subconscious mind that I have tuned out.
She often makes a quiet suggestion or rephrases something I've said about myself in terms so positive I have to think, "Yes, she's right. That's really me. I don't have to apologize for me!"
I love it when she gives me a homework assignment because it always involves doing something good and positive for myself. You would think that having lived two-thirds of my life already, I would be in the habit of doing this all the time. But I'm not. Thanks to Raz, I'm getting in the habit of it.
Often she comments on how animated my eyes and face have become when I start talking about something I love more than I knew I loved, and I think, "That's right! I love that! Why am I not allowing myself to pursue it?"
In just the few months I have been working with Raz, I have experienced great inner change. Good things are flowing my way--people, opportunities, challenges, achievements--that I never would have imagined.
I wake up eager to consume the goodness of my day. Thank you, Raz.

Our soils
Healthy soils are critical for Ingleby – and for global food production. 95% of all food comes from soils. This is why we have created the newsletter "Focus on Soil". Here, our environmental adviser Ken G. Cassman writes a series of articles on how to manage soils to improve production and profitability, while conserving natural resources and protecting water quality.
In Ingleby, we want to build healthy soils with high organic matter content, which can store large amounts of water. This is crucial for our production and also improves our farms' resilience to floods and droughts. The better and deeper the topsoil, the larger the rooting depth is available for our crop to roam for water and nutrients, and the stronger the crop.
We have an ambitious goal of increasing the topsoil layer by 2 mm per year. So how do we reach this goal? We cannot easily change soil texture and mineralogy, which is an inherent property of soil that changes very slowly over time. But we can increase topsoil layers by building up soil organic matter, which in turn will support our crop production.
Soil facts
Soil is a non-renewable resource, which is not easily replaced. It takes between 500 and 1,000 years to create a single centimetre of topsoil through the interaction of bedrock, climate, topography and living organisms.
Soil is a key resource for farming and forestry but we don't always pay attention to this important "silent ally."
Globally, half of the planet's topsoil has been lost in the last 150 years, and 33% of the land is moderately to highly degraded due to erosion, salinisation, compaction, acidification and chemical pollution of soils. At the same time we need to feed more and more people from the same – or smaller – area of land.
Healthy soils
- Host over one quarter of our planet's biodiversity – a single gram of healthy soil contains millions of organisms.
- Help to combat climate change by playing a key role in the carbon cycle.
- Provide a number of essential biological functions, such as storing and filtering water.
- Filter, buffer, degrade and detoxify pollutants, including industrial and municipal runoff.

Illegal immigrants in Malaysia
Illegal immigrants in Malaysia comprise a substantial portion of the Malaysian population with most of them coming from the nearby Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and other Asian countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India and China. The Malaysian Department of Immigration has guarantees that Malaysia will be free from illegal immigrants in 2020. Thus, to achieve the vision various operation has been conducted.[1]

In Malaysia, the term "illegal immigrant" usually refers to an alien who enters the country without any proper documents or those who enters legally but overstays, thus abusing their passport or visa. This also include to those who are using false identities to live on the country.[2]
Malaysia with most of its Southeast Asian neighbours are not the signatories of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, thus have maintained that any newly arrival aliens are illegal immigrants rather than refugees.[3] Since the early 1970s, Malaysia have been allowing other Muslims who stuck in a conflict on their countries to seek refuge in Malaysia especially to the Filipino Muslims in the Southern Philippines.[4] Also in 1975, Malaysia accepted thousands of Cambodian Muslims who had fled Cambodia during the administration of Pol Pot regime. During the Indochina refugee crisis, Malaysia continued to allow a select number of Cambodian Muslims to locally integrate, assisted by the Malaysian Muslim Welfare Organisation (PEKIM), who received funds both from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Malaysian Government.[4] Starting from 1980, Malaysia permitted the local settlement for Rohingya Muslims and Acehnese Muslims who were fleeing the Muslims persecution in Myanmar and Aceh insurgency in Indonesia.[4]
In 2015, the Malaysian Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, stated that his ministry has spoken on the refugee issue numerous times with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), telling the world organisation that "Malaysia is not a signatory to its convention on refugees". He said that even Malaysia allow any refugees to stay there, the UNHCR should not taking any advantage of Malaysia's compassion to allowing them there, instead it is time for the United Nations to send the refugees to another third-world nation. The minister also reminded that even if Malaysia is seen as an attractive country for the refugees to taking up the jobs that locals did not want to take it due to dangerous, dirty or demeaning nature, both the refugees and the migrant workers should not just take the law into their own hands when in Malaysia.[5] The Malaysian government also stated that they will never sign and have any intention to become part of the convention with its Deputy Foreign Minister, Reezal Merican Naina said:
|Although Malaysia doesn't want to become part of the convention, our country will continue to give any assistance needed by the refugees based on humanitarian grounds. Our country only recognised/allowed those (refugees) who registered with UNHCR to seek temporarily shelter in this country before they been moved to another third world countries or return to their place of origin.[6]
Political motives behind massive influx of illegals
The power to provide a shelters for refugees has been misused by several individuals mostly from the National Registration Department (NRD), when the most serious cases had happened on the east Malaysian state of Sabah to allow thousands of Filipino Muslims acquire the Malaysian identity card through a secret project known as Project IC.[7] It is evidenced that this was done due to an ethnic connection by their own people who already established presence in various Malaysian job positions (such as those who had became either NRD members, politicians or security forces) to bring their relatives of the same roots from their country of origin. For example, a syndicate from Pakistan has a largely Pakistani clients while others syndicate from Myanmar and Indonesia also have their own clients. This is similar to the Filipino cases as when their document producing network expand, they also started to bring more illegal immigrants from their own ethnic community to live here and become Malaysian citizen.[8][9] Further investigation revealed that the corruption of local authorities (especially by those who had a similar ethnic groups with the illegals) and illegal issuance of identity cards had played an important role on the high increase of the illegal immigrants especially in Sabah.[10] Former Prime Minister such as Mahathir had continuously support the influx of these illegals, saying they should be given citizenship.[11][12] As stated by some source, certain politicians (with similar ethnic roots and religion with the immigrants) inside both of the Malaysian and Sabah State governments has two main political purposes with the first one is to increase the Muslim populations in Sabah to make it became a political stronghold for the government[13] while the second one is to stop the territorial dispute over Sabah with the Philippines by providing such shelters to Filipino Muslims who already discriminated by the Catholic-majority Philippine central government in their homeland of Mindanao[4] without even knowing many of the immigrants comprising militants and criminals that will betraying Malaysia in the future for their own ideologies as evidenced on the 2013 intrusion as well with other past attacks on Sabah and recent kidnappings.[11][12][14][15][16][17] The security command in Sabah ever mentioning;
Although these foreigners stayed in Sabah, their loyalty to their homelands (Mindanao and Sulu Archipelago) in the Philippines never swayed and brought along crimes like drugs, smuggling and piracy. The Filipinos from this region are also vengeful and ill-tempered, where disputes often result in shooting and end in bloody feuds. "A culture they call Rido".[10]
Furthermore, during the uncontrolled influx of Vietnamese boat people to Malaysia, the Malaysian government felt this would threaten its national security and its racial balance as most of the refugees resemble the Chinese people which resulted they been quickly repatriated.[18] The Malaysian government then blamed the United States, accusing them of being principally at fault for causing the Vietnam War and led to a large massive influx of these illegals to Vietnam neighbours,[18] as Malaysia had a phobia resulted from two tragedies that had happened to the country in the past, the 1964 which led to the separation of Singapore and 1969, both between the Malay and Chinese. Meanwhile, thousands of Muslim illegal immigrants from neighbouring countries such as the one from the Southern Philippines and Sulawesi, Indonesia continued to be given permission to stay longer in the country without any restrictions and prediction on what problems they may posed in the near future. Some Sabahan Muslims MP and State Assembly such as Rosnah Shirlin and Abdul Rahim Ismail had already felt the culture problems brought by the Filipinos Muslims today, Rosnah quote;
The refugee camp established on my district has creating a lot of problems for the residents here. The camp has become a drugs den and the source of many other criminal activities. Over the years, many robberies had taken place in nearby villages and the culprits are mostly from the camp. Supposedly, the improved situation in the Philippines today has brought into question whether these Filipinos could still be regarded as refugees. The camp was set up on a 40-acre plot of land near Kampung Laut in the early 1980s by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). But the UNHCR had long ago stopped providing funds to the camp and as a result, many of these foreigners had been working outside the camp. The refugees had even dare to expanded the camp area, encroaching on nearby village land and today, the camp has become the biggest syabu distribution den on my district.[19][20]— Rosnah Shirlin, Sabah Papar's MP.
Rahim support this by saying;
For decades, my village and several villages in my constituency — was a beautifully rustic villages of traditional fishermen, who went about their daily lives with no cause for worry except for the latest catch of the day. Sabah's long-standing issues with illegal immigration are starting to irk local communities, who live fearing for their safety and culture. The ambience of the village has changed. The most obvious change now is the security fears in the village where I was born and grew up in. There is a colony of some 50 or so illegal immigrants who are living on a private piece of land that was supposedly rented out to them. The illegal immigrants roam around the village, and the town area, the pump boats they use are becoming a common sight here. I've brought it up to the authorities before; the police, immigration and district office. I appreciate some steps being taken, but it is not enough to give confidence to the local residents. If left unattended, Sabah will be susceptible to a lot of social ills — illegal drug dealing and consumption, theft and robbery and a "pump boat culture". The authorities also need to ensure that Sabahan land owners do not rent out their land randomly to anybody and contravening the Sabah Land Ordinance.[21][22]— Abdul Rahim Ismail, Sabah State Legislative Assembly Members for Pantai Manis in Papar.
During a recent Royal Commission of Inquiry on illegal immigrants in Sabah, a number of revelations on the granting of citizenship to illegal immigrants was revealed. A former National Registration Director, Mohd Nasir Sugip revealed that he was part of a top secret operation called 'Ops Durian Buruk' (Operation Rotten Durian),[23] whereby the Election Commission of Malaysia and then deputy former Home Minister Megat Junid Megat Ayub instructed his department to issue national identity cards to foreigners to change the voting demographics in Sabah.[24] During this process of granting national identity cards, the names of 16,000 illegal immigrants were changed under instructions of the Sabah Election Commission.[25] Also former Sabah NRD director Ramli Kamarudin revealed that former Sabah Chief Minister Osu Sukam was present when Megat Junid gave instructions to carry out the project IC exercise.[26]
Several witnesses who benefited from the citizenship for votes scheme have corroborated this assertion, including a Filipino man who said that he was given his identity card without applying for it.[27] Further two witnesses from India and Pakistan said they received identity cards in less than 10 years, instead of going through the normal process of getting permanent residency in 12 years and undergoing naturalisation after being in Malaysia for 10 years more.[28]
Upon to know this, the secret project had angered many Sabahan natives including neighbouring Sarawak who are the close brother to Sabah.[29] This was mainly due to many original Bornean natives who are mostly Christians are still stateless without even any birth certificates while the newly arrival illegal immigrants can gain Malaysian identity cards in just a short period through the secret project just because they are Muslims.[30]
Corruption, porous border and weak security
There are also reports that some of these illegal immigrants attempted to apply to become Malaysian security force members by using their fake identity cards.[20] This has been proved during the searching operation of further members of the Sulu terrorists in Sabah when one of the detained was a Malaysian police corporal who had a family ties in the southern Philippines. He was believed to have aided terrorists in illegally entering Sabah and leaving the state.[31] There is another serious case when a security guard from Tawau, Sabah shot dead a bank worker in Subang Jaya, Selangor and robbed a bank there. Initial investigation found the security guard only possessed a fake identity card and was not a Sabahan citizen.[32] The suspect was later identified as an Indonesian coming from Sulawesi.[33] Some politicians such as Kit Siang questioned how the security guard was able to receive a MyKad, which enabled him work in the bank. He quote;
How can this person get a MyKad, and even if the MyKad is fake, how can he be allowed to open up a bank account, receive monthly salary and in fact be given a firearm licence by the Home Ministry? Did this person also vote in the 13th General Election? Is it because the owner of the security firm is a crony of the ruling party? How many foreigners have enjoyed these privileges?[34]— Lim Kit Siang, member of the opposition (DAP).
Apart from Sabah, the porous border in the Straits of Malacca between Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra also became the hole for Indonesian illegal immigrants to enter the country. This was noticed in 2014 when these illegals frequently sank on the sea due to their overloaded boat to avoid detection from the Malaysian authorities.[35]
Human trafficking issues
In 2014, Malaysia together with Thailand and Venezuela was listed at the third and lowest tier by US Department of State. This was due to Malaysia only doing a little progress to combat the exploitation of foreign migrant workers who are routinely subjected to forced labour conditions and those who had been recruited under false pretenses and later coerced into sex work.[36] Many Rohingya refugees who want to seek a better life in Malaysia have frequently fall in the hand of human traffickers, such as what already happened on northern Malaysia when the traffickers kept them in a houses, beating them, depriving them of food, and demanding a ransom from their families.[37] Beside that, a large numbers of Vietnamese and Chinese traffickers have shifted their prostitution business to Malaysia which making Vietnamese women at the top list of foreign prostitutes in the country.[38] The traffickers tactic usually cheat the victim by offering them jobs in Malaysia with high salary, but once they arrived to meet the trafficker (who have disguised themselves as the manager), the victim will be brought and locked in a house, raped and forced into sex work.[39][40]
UNHCR attempts to integrate refugees with the locals
In 1986, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was found trying to integrate Filipino refugees in Sabah with the local communities if they can't repatriate them back to the Philippines but this was opposed heavily by the locals and Sabah State Government as it could brought a big social problem to the state.[41][42] The UNHCR was found again using the similar methods in 2015 when they issuing refugees cards to refugees in West Malaysia without the consent of the Malaysian government.[43]
Amnesty program
In 2011, Malaysia launch an amnesty programme with codenamed '6P' to reduce the number of illegal immigrants. The 'P' stands for six Malay words beginning with the letter which mean; "Pendaftaran" (registration), "Pemutihan" (legalisation), "Pengampunan" (amnesty), "Pemantauan" (supervision), "Penguatkuasaan" (enforcement) and "Pengusiran" (deportation).[44] All illegal immigrants were given three weeks to take up the offer or face the law if they are arrested without any valid travel documents or work permits.[45] However, some irresponsible people have taken advantage of the loopholes of its implementation, thus, there is a call to strengthen the programme by monitoring management companies who have been appointed as intermediaries between employers and illegal foreign workers.[46]
The crackdown on illegal immigrants have been carried out frequently by the Malaysian authorities, sometimes without any notice. Since 2014, crackdowns have been more frequent as many illegal immigrants have been found to be using permits of the locals to operate businesses.[47]
Detention and deportation
Through detention, the illegal immigrants will be imprisoned, caned and finally deported. This was done to help regulate immigration and to remind them to return to their home countries by letting them know to "not flout the law again".[48]
Foreign suggestion and aid to combat illegal migration
A joint border commission has been signed with the Philippines to patrol the illegal immigrants from the Southern Philippines to East Malaysia,[49] while Thailand has agreed to lengthen a border wall along the Malaysian state of Kedah to curb the flows of illegal workers across the Malay–Thai border.[50] Spanish Ambassador to Malaysia María Bassols Delgado has urged the country to have closer ties with other Asean nations to solve the immigrant problem. According to her "close understanding between Asean countries would result in a more effective approach to identify the individuals who entered the country illegally and without identification papers. This would facilitate the process of sending them back to their countries of origin".[51] In 2015, Malaysia receives two patrol vessels from Australia. Malaysia said the assets would used to protect their maritime borders from illegal migration in the Straits of Malacca.[52]

Signs of recovery for severely burned crash teenager
LANDSBOROUGH teenager Brock Giblin could be out of his medically-induced coma within a month after taking positive steps in his recovery from a crash that burned 55% of his body.
His father Peter said the 17-year-old showed signs of consciousness over the weekend and even opened his eyes when his mother entered his room at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital on Saturday.
"The doctors asked him to wiggle his toes and he did, which is such an amazingly good thing because you know that the rest of him is okay," he said.
The positive sign was an early gift for Peter's mother Shiralee, whose birthday was yesterday and has been waiting by her son's bedside since the July 11 crash.
"(Yesterday) morning when we walked in he started thrashing - he could hear our voices," Mr Giblin said.
CT scan results were positive and Mr Giblin said the Maleny High School student would have walked away from the crash if it was not for the fire.
Brock had three skin grafts procedures last week and was expected to have another today.
Mr Giblin said it could be a long wait because so much of his skin was burnt in the crash, which occurred during a practice session for the Australian Manufacturers Championship at Sydney's Eastern Creek.
"We're not expecting any big changes, unfortunately, just a lot of small ones," Mr Giblin said.

New Truck Information
International Configurator
Want to get more life out of a semi or other large truck? Consider replacing shocks on a preventative rather than a corrective maintenance basis.
In the world of long-haul trucking, 150,000 miles is a modest distance. Many truckers cover that distance in a year-and-a-half or even less. During that time, a truck's suspension performs impressive duty. Over that distance, a shock will have stroked 30 million times or more. Although heavy-duty shocks are designed to take a beating, they can get still damaged or wear out prematurely.
Worn shocks increase wheel hop, which increases brake lock-up. Wheel hop is a real concern for another reason. As wheels bounce, the force exerted on the tires rapidly changes. For example, the weight on a tire might vary by a factor of two or three from the top of the bounce to the bottom. Every time this happens, the tire's footprint changes. Since this may happen dozens of times every minute, the cumulative stress on tire tread is evident.
Ultimately, replacing shocks at the same time as tires is a preventative measure that is cost-effective. In addition to reducing premature tire wear, there are other advantages to replacing shocks on a preventative basis:
Some fleets that embrace this preventative concept still set a minimum mileage standard for changing shocks.

Braum Champion Spotlight
Mon, 12 May 2014, 1:00 pm
by Ashley Underwood, Do Gaming journalist
Tags: League of Legends, LoL, Riot Games
Braum is the latest champion to make his way onto the Summoner's Rift and honestly; it was about time that the Support role got another tank, instead of healer/utility champion.
Being a support main, I do enjoy trying new things and I can't wait to get my hands on Braum. With the fact that he brings a lot of utility to the bottom lane, it seems he will be one of the more favoured supports, once players master him.

As linked previously on this blog, the This Land parody at JibJab.com has taken the world by storm. Both Left (here) and Right (there) have embraced it as 'good humor'. But not all lawyers have a sense of humor, and the age old tradition of song parody is wasted on them.

Alleged Drug Dealer Waives Arraignment
A Maryland man accused of selling cocaine outside a southern Fulton County business appeared in the Fulton County Court of Common Pleas this week.
Twenty-nine-year-old Ronald Oduro-Anokye waived his right to mandatory arraignment on Tuesday, February 12, during a brief appearance before Judge Shawn Meyers. In turn, Oduro-Anokye entered a not guilty plea to one count each of delivery and possession of a controlled substance and is next scheduled to appear in court on April 9 for call of the criminal trial list.
Charges against Oduro- Anokye stem from an alleged controlled drug purchase outside the Warfordsburg Exxon on February 19, 2012. An affidavit of probable cause filed through Magisterial District Judge Tamela Bard indicates an undercover officer with the Pennsylvania State Police in Hollidaysburg and a confidential informant drove to the gas station located at 287 Great Cove Road at 11:10 a.m.
The charging documents state a black convertible Saab owned by Oduro- Anokye was parked at the station's pumps with its hood up. The informant and the Maryland man both got inside the vehicle, and the informant allegedly exited only seconds later with a plastic baggie containing four individual baggies of suspected cocaine, police said. Eight hundred dollars was reportedly exchanged in the transaction.
The officer and informant left the area and last saw Oduro-Anokye across the Bethel Township roadway checking out a vehicle sitting in a parking lot for sale, the affidavit stated.
The suspected drugs were sent to the Pennsylvania State Police Crime Lab in Harrisburg for analysis. The results confirmed the substance was indeed cocaine and tipped the scales at 11.4 grams.
Oduro-Anokye of 354 Dual Highway, Apartment 135, Hagerstown, currently remains free on $50,000 unsecured bail. He is represented in court proceedings by defense attorney James Reed.
