text: What is a judicial review?A judicial review is a type of legal challenge where an individual asks the High Court or Upper Tribunal to review the lawfulness of a decision, action or failure to act of a public body or government department. It can also be used to challenge secondary legislation, the immigration rules or policy, or the compatibility of an act of Parliament with the Convention rights under the ECHR.This can only be used where there is no avenue of appeal or where all avenues of appeal have been exhausted. It is different from a statutory appeal because the court should not normally substitute what it thinks is the 'correct' decision, it will only decide if the decision made was lawful.The judicial review process challenges the way a decision has been made and whether in fact the correct laws and procedures were used to reach that decision. The Judicial Review's function is not to determine whether the outcome was necessarily correct.When a judicial review may be suitableIf you have been told your asylum claim will be transferred to another European country under the Dublin regulations, and you wish to argue your human rights will be breached in that country.If your asylum claim has been certified (no right of appeal within the UK)If your further submissions have been rejected as not a fresh claim, with no right of appealIf you have been detained unlawfullyIf you have been refused permission to appeal at the Upper TribunalTo try and challenge an imminent removal (apply for interim relief – an injunction). See below.Your immigration application has been refused and you have no right of appeal on human rights grounds.This is a very complex area of law and early preparation is the key. Having the assistance of an experienced immigration solicitor literally may make the difference between life as you know it in the UK and you being deported to wherever the Home Office considers 'home' to be.

VisaVisit VisaOtherBy making this enquiry I am requesting UK Immigration Solicitors to use my data to handle my enquiry and keep me informed of relevant updates in accordance with your privacy policy and collective terms of businessI am looking for legal assistance withUpload Files Drop files here or The Judicial Review ProcessPre-action protocolNormally a person who wishes to challenge a decision of the Home Office should write first to the department asking for the decision to be reviewed. This is called the pre-action protocol (PAP)PAP letters and the responses to them should be carefully considered and drafted by a knowledgeable expert. This is a good opportunity to prevent judicial review proceedings being brought at all, either by re-making the decision in the applicant's favour (where appropriate) or by setting out clearly the reasons for maintaining the existing decision.Paper permission stage If a person wants a judicial review of a decision then an application must first be made before the Upper Tribunal or High Court for permission. This should be done as soon as possible, but normally no longer than 3 months from the date of the decision, although the courts can decide to accept applications after that time limit. The person who brings a claim for judicial review is known as the claimant (applicant in the Upper Tribunal) and the person against whom the judicial review is brought is the defendant (the respondent in the Upper Tribunal), normally the Secretary of State for the Home Department ('SSHD') but it can be an Immigration Officer or Entry Clearance Officer when their decision is being challenged.References in the remainder of this document are to claimants and defendants but apply equally to applicants and respondents. The claimant sets out the grounds of their claim, and includes any evidence they wish to rely on and asks for permission to be granted. Once received by the Upper Tribunal or High Court the application is 'sealed' by the court. This means the court stamps the application to show it has been received. The papers must then be served on GLD who will in turn notify the Home Office in cases progressing through High Court or directly on the Home Office in Upper Tribunal cases. The Upper Tribunal Rules do not formally require service of the sealed claim form although letters issued by the Upper Tribunal do inform applicants that they must do this.Once the grounds have been served on GLD or the Home Office, there are 21 days to file a paper response to the claim, this is known as an Acknowledgement of Service (AoS). The AoS allows the Home Office to confirm whether it accepts the claim detailed in the judicial review or whether we wish to contest the claim. If we are contesting the claim the AoS, will include our summary grounds of defence (SG) and any evidence the Home Office wishes to rely on as to why the claim should not be granted permission to proceed. Once the court receives these documents a single judge will look at the papers and decide whether or not to grant permission. The test for granting permission is whether the judge thinks the claim is arguable. This is a low threshold.However, a significant majority of claims which are not settled pre-permission are refused permission to proceed. If the judge does not think the claim is arguable, the judicial review will be refused permission to proceed. Both parties are then notified of this decision by means of a court order. If permission is refused, the judge may also certify the claim as being 'totally without merit'. This is added when the judge considers the claim is completely hopeless. A 'totally without merit' finding stops the claimant from renewing their Page 7 judicial review to an oral permission hearing, but they may appeal this decision to the Court of Appeal.If the judge does consider the claim to be arguable, he or she will grant permission. In this circumstance, the case will proceed to a full substantive hearing. In either case, both parties are notified of the judge's decision by means of a court order.Oral permission stageIn some cases, the judge will not be able to reach a decision on whether permission should be granted on the basis of the paper documents before him. In these circumstances, an oral permission hearing (OPH) will be ordered.Also, if permission is refused on the papers a claimant has 7 days plus 2 working days for postage (High Court) and 9 days (Upper Tribunal) in which they can 'renew' the application to an OPH. This time period can be abridged to a shorter period if the application is deemed urgent. If so, this will be stated on the Order refusing permission on the papers.At an OPH the claimant (normally via their legal representatives) before a single judge will explain why they should be granted permission and the Home Office will be given an opportunity to explain why permission should not be granted. The Home Office will instruct a barrister (counsel) to argue why permission should be refused. The Upper Tribunal or High Court will then decide whether permission should be granted. A claim that is certified as being 'totally without merit' cannot renew to an OPH.Sometimes an OPH is heard at the same time as the substantive hearing and this is called a rolled up hearing. This is more likely to happen where one party has made an application for the case to be expedited (ie heard sooner).A rolled up hearing has the advantage of getting the matter dealt with quickly and in practice is cheaper than the two stage process. However, it does not allow for much time to prepare the substantive defense. At a rolled up hearing the judge will decide whether to grant permission as well as deciding the outcome of the judicial review if permission is granted.Substantive positionOnce a case is granted permission to proceed it will go on to a substantive hearing, unless settled or withdrawn, although occasionally there may be a prehearing known as a case management conference, or an interim relief hearing to take a view on an urgent element of the judicial review.Once permission is granted the defendant must submit detailed grounds of defence within a Page 8 specified time frame (35 days from the date of permission grant). Nearer the hearing date counsel for both sides will submit written arguments as to why the claim should either be allowed (on behalf of the claimant) or dismissed (on behalf of the Home Office). These are called skeleton arguments.The case will then have a substantive court hearing at which oral arguments are made by both the claimant and defendant. The court will then deliver a final judgment, which will either allow the claim and provide a form of relief in a court order, or dismiss the claim upholding the Home Office's position.Onward appealing (section 7- Post Hearing/Onward appeals) It is possible to appeal a judicial review decision with permission. This includes a refusal of permission, a finding that a case is 'totally without merit' or the final judgment.Settling casesA judicial review claim can be settled at any point before a substantive hearing, if the Home Office and the claimant are able to come to an agreement on resolving the matter under dispute. Discussions between the parties about settlement may be conducted on a 'without prejudice basis' which means that the court will not see the relevant correspondence. Agreements to settle are then set out in consent order, which is provided to the court (although in some circumstances elements of the agreement are kept private between the parties – this applies particularly to awards of damages).The court will normally approve (seal) a consent order signed by both sides at which point it becomes a binding court order. The court could potentially disagree that the judicial review should be settled as proposed but this is extremely rare. A claimant can also withdraw their judicial review at any point should they wish to do so.Call Us Now To Discuss Your Needs on0203 384 4389Call Us Now

2016 DDAA GIS Users Conference
"Utilizing Your Resources to Better Serve Your Region"
April 24, 2016 - Asheville, NC
As GIS professionals in often rural areas, we have skills and access to tools that many do not know about nor how they can be benefitted. By looking for different ways we can use these tools, expertise, and information, we can often provide benefits people did not know existed, or solve previously unsolvable problems. The presentations at this User's Group are geared toward this idea of using GIS, and the other resources of your organization, to accomplish things that would otherwise be overly onerous or just unattainable.
Examples of the presentations are:
• Free Open Source Web GIS Solutions
• Using ArcGIS Online and the Local Government Information Model to Serve a Multi-level User Base
• Activity Density and the Data You Can Generate from Jobs and Population
Following the GIS User Group Conference, the DDAA 4th Annual Professional Development Conference will begin at the same location. We invite you to stay and take time to improve yourself at this annual conference. The DDAA is providing a discounted rate for all GIS User Group Conference attendees that choose to attend the Professional Development Conference.
So whether you want to attain skills and knowledge for personal development or career advancement, extend your stay and join us for real-world executive and employee development sessions, networking and more in Asheville, North Carolina.

On August 20, 2014, Dan Kessler, Millennial Action Council Adviser, moderated a World Affairs Council of Philadelphia discussion for their Millennial Members following a book talk featuring Congressman Paul Ryan at the Union League.
An investment analyst by day and the National Finance Chair for Young Professionals "Ready for Hillary" on the side, Kessler's introduction garnered a laugh from the crowd and a visible sigh from Ryan.
While the main program featuring Congressman Ryan included his vision for the GOP laid out in his book, The Way Forward, Kessler saw an opportunity to keep the post-program discussion nonpartisan. He successfully engaged more than 40 Millennials in this fashion, not surprisingly, as 50% of Millennials now identify as politically independent.
As described on their website, "the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan educational organization dedicated to informing and engaging people of all ages on matters of national and international significance. The Council provides its members and the greater Philadelphia community with access to influential figures in the global arena as well as opportunities to visit fascinating destinations through its unique travel program. With the support of individual and corporate members, the Council's global education program enhances the education of area students who are the citizens, workforce and leaders of the future."

Mark Lagon, a visiting professor at Georgetown University with close ties to neoconservatism, is a former U.S. diplomat who served as a State Department official during the George W. Bush presidency. Before joining the Bush administration in 2002, Lagon worked for both the Project for the New American Century and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). His experience also includes working for a number of right-wing political figures, including as an assistant to former Rep. Chris Cox (R-CA) when Cox was chair of the House Republican Committee, and as an aide to Jeane Kirkpatrick at AEI.[1]
In May 2010, Georgetown University announced that Lagon was joining the university's School of Foreign Service as a visiting professor. Among the qualifications the university highlighted was Lagon's expertise in international affairs, particularly in human trafficking. "Dr. Lagon brings … a wealth of experience from both the public and nonprofit worlds of international affairs. Prior to coming to MSFS, Ambassador Lagon served as the Executive Director and CEO of Polaris Project, a leading anti-human trafficking nonprofit organization from 2009-2010. From May 2007 to January 2009, he served as U.S. Ambassador-at-Large and Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP) and Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State. In this capacity, he was Chair of the Senior Policy Operating Group, coordinating U.S. agencies domestic and global anti-trafficking policy."[2]
From 2002 through 2004, Lagon served as a member of the U.S. State Department's Policy Planning Staff, working on UN and other international organizations, democracy and human rights, and public diplomacy. During 1999-2002, he was a staff member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and from 1995 to1998 he worked for the House Republican Policy Committee.[3]
During his tenure in the Bush State Department, Lagon served as an advisor on efforts to reform the UN Human Rights Council (previously, the Human Rights Commission), which was widely regarded as ineffectual. Despite reforms to the institution, which were initiated in 2006 by the UN General Assembly, Lagon has argued that the Human Rights Council remains problematic. He told Voice of America News in 2009, "The commission on human rights was seen as deadlocked and politicized. Unfortunately, this new body has been no better, and arguably worse."[4]
Lagon is the author of The Reagan Doctrine: Sources of American Conduct in the Cold War's Last Chapter. He has also written for several conservative publications, including the National Interest, Philanthropy (the magazine of the right-wing Philanthropy Roundtable), and Perspectives on Political Science.

So first set of pics is of my brand new Titan. Some of you regulars might remember that I scratch built a Warhound Titan from plasticard. However this one is the real deal and oh my god how awesome is this model. These are just the legs, weapon arms and cockpit so far. Also on this model is my first use of weathering pigments.
So I hope you enjoyed this insight into what is on my table right now!

A number of months before the Torina Winter Games in 2006, I had written a chunk on Michelle Kwan and her 3rd try at profitable an Olympic Gold Medal. This past week, I began taking some beginning ballet courses as a compliment to my ice time. Even when her skating had plateaued technically, enjoying it secure with her musical selections had never been Kwan's type. The Skilled Figure Skaters Cooperative (PFSC) has made it even easier to get all the casting notices in a single place they usually even have a seminar in lovely Solar Valley, Idaho open to youthful skaters to hear first-hand what ice reveals could be like.
But no matter what level, make sure to put your finest foot (or boot!) forward while you step out on the ice. Expectations Going In: Liang appeared to have all the promise one could ask for when she competed at her first U.S. Figure Skating Championships on the senior stage in 2001, all of the whereas being simply 12 years outdated. Practice at dwelling!;This spinner means that you can work in your rotation without the ice.
Step & Spin by Holysalchow Our Spinners are made especially for determine skaters and dancers! The EDEA Spinner can be used on most any arduous, easy, clear floor indoors or open air. I would like to tell you that they work wonderfully and Ice Girl wears them on a regular basis, but I can't. Though Michelle had an air of invincibility about her after the 1998 Nationals, the Olympics uncovered vulnerabilities in her skating that even her musicality and exuberance couldn't cover.
Determine skaters and dancers can get away with this due to the muscle memory they've constructed up by practicing their maneuvers countless instances. EBay Worldwide AG is authorised by the FCA to conduct credit score broking (we aren't a lender) and we work with a restricted range of finance suppliers. Although Leonova all the time sells her applications, there's little else in her skating that supports her program components rating.
Lucinda Ruh at all times captivates me, although it is difficult to see her perform unless you fly to Switzerland to see Artwork on Ice Stephane Lambiel captivates me, as do Weir and Savoie once they're skating effectively-and judging from what I noticed on the Marshall's Determine Skating Challenge right now-pure fan-baiting cheese-they're both skating very effectively this yr.

We were invited by Lad Fest '16 to collaborate with a poster for their festival based in Perú. Lad Fest seeks to promote Latin American design, inspire the artist community and create a platform to celebrate Latin American design and visual arts.
About the poster: Takanakuy (Quechua for «to hit each other») is an annual established practice of fighting fellow community members held on 25 December, by the inhabitants of Chumbivilcas Province, near Cuzco in Peru. The practice started in Santo Tomás, the capital of Chumbivilcas, and has now spread to other villages and cities, the prominent ones being Cuzco and Lima. The festival consists of dancing and of individuals fighting each other to settle old conflicts or simply to display their manhood.

Hello and welcome to my scrapbooking blog.
Today is the start of the new challenge over at Stamping Dragon Designs and the theme is EASTER.
Stamping Dragon Designs also sponsor the challenge and the winner receives a voucher to spend on wonderful digital papers and scrap kits in their on line store.
I have chosen the Spring digital paper kit to create this layout with space for 3 photos and I have also added some digital images, an Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs, in keeping with the challenge theme.
My page was made with one of the delicate backing papers from the kit and I complemented the paper with a solid square picking up the lilac shades of the paper. I anchored the frames to the right-hand bottom of the layout by adding the wreath of coloured crocus and pink satin effect ribbons. The addition of the digital photo-corners help to focus on the photo-frames and the extra flowers help to group all the elements together. I used my paint-pot tool to add colour to the rabbit and the easter eggs, keeping the colours in line with the layout. Result, a nice bright and cheery layout to help chase the gloom out of what will be a chilly Easter.
Visit the Stamping Dragon Designs challenge blog to see the great inspirational projects from the DT team. Great Stuff!! and don't forget to visit us on Facebook and take part in our group.

Brian W. Breed, Elizabeth Keitel et Rex Wallace (éd.), Lucilius and Satire in Second-Century BC Rome, Cambridge, 2018.
Éditeur : Cambridge University Press
332 pages
75 £
This volume considers linguistic, cultural, and literary trends that fed into the creation of Roman satire in second-century BC Rome. Combining approaches drawn from linguistics, Roman history, and Latin literature, the chapters share a common purpose of attempting to assess how Lucilius' satires functioned in the social environment in which they were created and originally read. Particular areas of focus include audiences for satire, the mixing of varieties of Latin in the satires, and relationships with other second-century genres, including comedy, epic, and oratory. Lucilius' satires emerged at a time when Rome's new status as an imperial power and its absorption of influences from the Greek world were shaping Roman identity. With this in mind the book provides new perspectives on the foundational identification of satire with what it means to be Roman and satire's unique status as 'wholly ours' tota nostra among Latin literary genres.
1. Introduction: Lucilius and second century Rome Brian W. Breed, Rex Wallace and Elizabeth Keitel
Part I. Putting Lucilius' Satires in Context:
2. Lucilius and the poetae seniores Sander M. Goldberg
3. Lucilius' books Brian W. Breed
Part II. Lucilius' Language, Style, and Meter: Continuity and Innovation:

7 Ayurvedic Experts Give Us the Scoop on Juicing
Juice cleanses are becoming more and more popular day by day. As a nation that loves novelty, we embraced the newly found panacea and categorically proclaimed that juicing will save the health of the sick and overweight nation.
Very few people making juices or writing about juice cleanses consider the unique, individual nature of people. Does juicing work for everyone? Is it safe to do in the same way as your friend (same vegetables, same times of the day, same quantities)?
According to Ayurveda, an ancient science of health, what is nectar for one can be poisonous for another. It all depends on your inborn constitution, your current state of health and digestion, seasonal changes, and emotional state. Very few recommendations are generalized across the board in Ayurvedic science. Same goes for juicing.
I asked seven of my favorite Ayurvedic experts about their opinion on Juicing and Ayurveda. I asked them two questions:
- Do you juice and if yes, what, when, and how?
- What do you think about the new trend of juicing and juice cleanses?
The answers are very diverse and thought-provoking! I covered the first question on Spinach and Yoga and will share the 2nd one exclusively on my favorite wellness website, MindBodyGreen.
Question: What do you think of the current growing trend of raw foods and juice cleanses?
Claudia Welch - Ayurveda recommends tailoring diet according to each person's individual proclivities, strengths and challenges. There is no one diet routinely prescribed for all people. Cleanses are at least initially depleting to the body and should be undergone with care and caution. First of all, we would want to consider which is stronger: the person's constitution, or their disorder. Raw food and juice cleanses could be beneficial for folks who are pretty strong to begin with, and under appropriate guidance of an experienced health care practitioner.
Claudia has been a huge inspiration for me. You can learn about her work here and check out her must-read book for women Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life.
Felicia Tomasko - When it comes to the current craze for juices and juice cleanses, overall I love them—with a note of caution. Many juices (even veggies) can deliver an intense dose of sugar to the body that is quickly absorbed (because of the lack of fiber in juices). Also, some juices can increase or provoke the vata (air/ether or space) dosha. A diet that is limited to juice by its very nature will increase the vata dosha, because juice is light and cold, so overindulging or an extended juice fast can provoke the vata dosha. Alternating with warm teas or adding a bit of oil to juice can mitigate this effect a bit. Choosing a season or climate that is conducive to juice fasting is also important. While we can remember the old adage of everything in moderation, we can also remember that it is always important to listen to the body. If the spacey factor starts to increase and we begin misplacing our keys, having trouble falling asleep at night, or feel extra cold, it might be time to switch up our cleanse a bit. Remember that even the freshest fresh-pressed juices are only one component of a healthy, balanced diet—no matter the philosophy.
Felicia Tomasko, RN, is the editor-in-chief of LA YOGA and Find Bliss. She serves on the board of directors of the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine and the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and teaches in the studio and online at Yogaglo.
Ivy Ingram - I believe the current trend towards juicing reflects our culture's attraction to quick fixes, using detox strategies to "undo" eating habits that we recognize are not very healthy in the first place. Ayurveda advises detoxification through periodic monofasts (simple cooked foods of very limited variety) and eating well-cooked, seasonal, whole, organic foods as a general practice. For those who like juicing, the following suggestions may reduce the negative effects:
- Add fresh ginger (to increase agni).
- Do not combine fruits and vegetables.
- Keep the juice room temperature, not ice cold.
- Eat some solid food as well. Do not do juice-only fasts for very long.
- Engage in Vata-pacifying practices throughout the day, like seated meditation, gentle yoga, and self-massage with oil. Reduce over-stimulation of the mind and senses by turning off the TV and the Internet, and spend time immersed in the rhythms and sounds of nature.
Ivy Ingram: To learn more about Ayurveda, check out Ivy's ongoing "Ayurveda Foundations" blog series at AyurvedaInTranslation.wordpress.com and IvyIngram.com.
Monica Bloom – Overall, I think juicing is a good way to sneak in veggies and fruits if you otherwise skip out on them! If people can fit in their veg and fruits in a juice and feel amazing, then by all means do it. Listening to our bodies and how they respond to what we are eating is the best tool we have. One thing I would caution is having raw juices first thing in the morning, because our digestive fire is just waking up. Putting anything cold, damp, uncooked on our tiny fire, especially in the morning, will put it out and hamper digestion for the entire day. It's better to have the juice as a snack at 10 am or at noon before lunch when our digestive fire (and the sun, that big fire in the sky!) is the strongest.

Linda Gobindoss - Just like Ayurveda would suggest, I believe that juicing, as well as a raw diet, should be done with regard to one's constitution, the time of the year, the time of the day and while using vegetables and fruits which are locally grown and seasonal, as they contain the right dosage of vitamins and nutrients suitable to individuals living in that particular environment. If fresh vegetables/fruits are not naturally available in one's region at a particular time of the year, one should not consume them. I am not a big fan of an exclusively raw diet throughout the year, and this is something that I would not recommend to everyone.

Gwen Nagano - In Ayurveda, raw foods are viewed as drying and draining on the digestive organs. When the intention is to build the tissues, raw foods will be a drain. When the intention is to reduce accumulation, then the use of raw foods and juices can be of benefit. Each body type needs to approach raw foods and juice cleansing with a unique approach. This is the beauty of Ayurveda as it provides us the system to understand our unique needs.

Eric Grasser - Juicing is a valuable part of cleansing since it provides adequate nutrients in a form which is easy to digest, absorb, and assimilate, while giving the digestion a rest from heavier, denser, more difficult-to-digest foods. Again, however, careful consideration must be given to one's overall constitutional imbalance when deciding how often and for how long to remain on a raw food only diet. If there is agitation in the nervous system, for example, such a diet can cause further imbalance.

Ningaloo Visitor Centre
Parks and Wildlife Service
Australia's Coral Coast
Ningaloo is the largest fringing coral reef in Australia. It is the only large reef in the world found so close to a continental land mass; about 100 metres offshore at its nearest point and less than seven kilometres at its furthest. The World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef stretches for 260km. An abundance of marine life and the reef in which they live thrive together, in one of the world's highest-ranked ecosystems in terms of biodiversity. Read more about Ningaloo Reef.
Every year from March to August following the mass spawning of coral, the world's largest species of fish, Whale Sharks congregate in the Ningaloo Marine Park. The chance to snorkel with these gentle giants is the opportunity of a lifetime and visitors from all over the world head to the Ningaloo Reef to experience this natural wonder. These massive filter feeders can grow up to 18m long. They cruise the world's oceans in search of concentrations to feed on. Ningaloo Reef is one of the only places they appear regularly in large numbers. Very little is known about the biology of these creatures so research is ongoing.
Dive the magical Ningaloo Reef. The Muiron Islands, Lighthouse Bay or the Navy Pier are all world-class dive sites that are sure to take your breath away.
An inner reef sanctuary exists consisting of magnificent coral formations surrounded by pristine turquoise waters and in some spots only metres from the white sandy shoreline. So grab your snorkelling gear and a snorkelling buddy and experience the wonder up close and personal.
The Cape Range National Park encompasses winding gorges, with colourful and striking cliff faces. The impressive weathered limestone range has plateaus of up to 314 metres high. It forms the spine of the peninsula that stretches up towards North West Cape. You can climb up deep rocky gorges to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. One of many popular walks is a three-kilometre ramble through Mandu Mandu Gorge along the bed of an ancient river.
Beneath the rocky plateaus and canyons of the Cape Range National Park lie a network of hidden caves and tunnels. They harbour a unique collection of bizarre cave-dwelling animals: an ancient treasure trove of immense value to both science and nature conservation. Read more about Cape Range.
Yardie Creek located in Cape Range National Park winds through the range leading from the turquoise waters of the Ningaloo Marine Park. Take the Yardie Creek Boat Tour to experience the red and rugged beauty; you may even spot rare rock wallabies on your journey. Or take the walking trails along the top of the range and look down over the winding creek.

About 1.1 million tourists from Hong Kong visited Japan in the first three quarters of this year, a 70 percent increase from the same period last year, the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) said.
The JNTO estimated that year-on-year growth for Hong Kong visitors to Japan could reach 60 percent in the fourth quarter owing to the depreciation of yen, Sing Tao Daily reported Friday.
Hiroshi Yamada, executive director of the JNTO's Hong Kong office, said the average occupancy rate for hotels in Japan has reached 70 percent, and many hotels in popular destinations, such as Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka, are nearly full now.
Yamada said the Japanese government is aware of the shortage of hotel rooms and is encouraging investors to build new hotels to meet the increasing demand.
The JNTO has collaborated with Chris Leung Yin-chung, a well-known travel expert in Hong Kong, to design a 24-day budget travel itinerary across 47 prefectures that costs a traveler only HK$13,888, as it involves using a 21-day Japanese railway pass.
Although the proposed trip would entail spending three to five hours a day on a train, Leung said it would provide travelers with a good opportunity to communicate with different people in Japan.
There are also affordable accommodation choices at many places in Japan that cost less than HK$200 a night, Leung said.
Meanwhile, the JNTO recently launched a smartphone app and is enticing travelers from Hong Kong to roam different destinations in Japan by offering free air tickets and hotel accommodation. [Download app here: Google Play or Apple App Store]
The person who collects the most electronic stamps using the app by March 24 will win a pair of air tickets to Japan plus accommodation for two.
The first and second runners-up will also pocket a pair of air tickets each.
The app includes travel and destination information for various tourist attractions and suggests itineraries for visitors.

I was born in Birmingham and have lived in the England's real second city all of my life. Raised in Longbridge, I still remember the first time that I went to the City Centre and everything about it felt huge. Since then I've been obsessed with the place, people and the atmosphere that this very special city has.
My main passion in life is Photography, I feel uncomfortable without a camera in my hand and from a young age I have loved having the ability to freeze a moment in time. It's only natural then that I waste many hours roaming streets of our city capturing its more beautiful side. I love to get lost in the city and forget any other worries that I have and just enjoy my surroundings. Birmingham has taken a lot of criticism over the years and I think now people are finally seeing the city for what it actually is.
I enjoy looking for new angles, fresh perspectives and do my best to try to create striking images that show the true Birmingham. From the bustling New Street and Victoria Square, to the beautiful St Paul's Square and the walkways of the canals, there are some stunning places to roam around in Birmingham. There is no escaping its industrial heritage and some of the 60's, 70's and 80's architecture is maybe not the most flattering. Even challenging modern structures like the Selfridges building that is certainly 'Marmite' in its 'love it or hate it' uncompromising style can look striking in the right light.
Photography is more popular than ever and with affordable cameras and Instagram, it's great to see thousands of people taking pictures of the city. There are many landmark building such as the Library of Birmingham that provide fantastic photo opportunities as well as a platform to view the city from on high. Many of my favourite places to shoot are perfectly accessible to the public and I often have to fight for a spot to get the shot that I want. I never see this as a negative though, it amazes me that tourist are going back to far-flung parts of the world and showing friends and family pictures of our home city.
There have been many things that have happened in my life that have threatened my photography from being attacked online to bereavement, I have threatened to quit on a few occasions. However, I can't walk down a street without spotting new things, fresh perspective or just watching the changing light wash across the city without wanting to capture it. It's this that keeps me going and makes me want to carry on. For this reason, I feel very fortunate to live in a challenging but beautiful city.
You could call this a 'thank you message' or a 'love letter' for the city but it's not. It's a call to arms, a rallying cry to anybody that lives in Birmingham to stop looking at the negatives and see the positives of where we live. Next time you are in the city, take a few minutes to look around, take in the Parisian style architecture above New Street, the soaring Raddison building (Beetham Tower) or take a walk through the Jewllery Quarter or Digbeth and look at it with a positive attitude (and don't forget to take some photos!).

Football Season To Kick Off Against EWU On ESPN
Feb. 20, 2014
SHSU Media Contact: Paul Ridings
Sam Houston State will open the 2014 college football season with a nationally-televised contest on EPSN at Eastern Washington on Aug. 23
The new "FCS Kickoff" is the only college game of the day. The Bearkats and the Eagles will open ESPN's 2014 college football coverage with kickoff at 2:30 p.m. (CST) on ESPN.
Eastern Washington ranked No. 3 in last year's FCS final polls while Sam Houston was No. 13. The Kats defeated EWU 49-34 during the regular, handing the Eagles its only regular-season loss to an FCS opponent in 2013.
"FCS conferences and member institutions are an important part of the overall fabric of collegiate athletics and ESPN's programming schedule," said Brent Colborne, ESPN director of programming and acquisitions. "We regularly talk with our league partners on opportunities for increased exposure and expansion of our content offerings. The FCS Kickoff is one result that will further showcase the quality and depth of FCS football to our national audience."
Three of the last four years, either Sam Houston or Eastern Washington has been a participant in the NCAA Division I Championship Finals in Frisco, Texas. EWU won the national championship in 2011 while Sam Houston was a finalist in both 2012 and 2013.
"To have Sam Houston playing on a national stage once again in an ESPN national telecast is such an opportunity for both the University and the community," SHSU director of athletics Bobby Williams said. "Ten times in the past three years our football team has been featured on the ESPN family of networks. That recognition has done so much for Huntsville and our institution. We greatly appreciate the work by the Southland Conference office in making this happen for us."
The matchup in Cheney, Wash., features to FCS national powers that have a history of explosive meetings. Sam Houston and Eastern Washington have met twice in the NCAA playoffs with the Bearkats winning 35-34 in the 2004 FCS quarterfinals and 45-42 in the 2012 semifinals.
"The Southland Conference is honored to be a part of the first FCS Kickoff event on ESPN, and we appreciate the network's selection of Sam Houston for the inaugural game," league commissioner Tom Burnett said. "For a number of years, a number of key stakeholders have been working diligently to enhance the awareness of the Division I FCS, and the efforts of ESPN with this new event will be another way this happens."
The Southland Conference is the host of the NCAA Division I championship game at Frisco. Each of the past three years the game has been a sellout.
"It's exciting to be the first game in the country on ESPN," Sam Houston head football coach K. C. Keeler said. "To face a perennial national power like Eastern Washington is going to be a challenge. Our football team will be looking forward to the opportunity to test themselves on a national level."
The Aug. 23 game represents the earliest season start in 98 years of Sam Houston football. The telecast will be the first in an extensive schedule of FCS coverage across multiple ESPN platforms in 2014. The 2013 FCS season included 58 regular-season games exclusively on ESPN3; all 23 games of the FCS Championship on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3; College GameDay Built by The Home Depot originating from North Dakota State; and multiplatform coverage of matchups against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs.
ESPN's coverage of the FBS – the most extensive among media networks with more than 400 games – will begin with matchups across multiple platforms on Thursday, Aug. 28, and conclude with exclusive telecasts of the inaugural College Football Playoff. Schedule details are being finalized.
Along with the announcement of the FCS Kickoff Game with Eastern Washington, Sam Houston also unveiled all but one date for its 2014 football schedule.
Following the trip to Cheney, Washington, Aug. 23, Sam Houston will play host to Alabama State on Saturday, Aug. 30 at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium. Saturday, Sept. 6, the Kats will face LSU at Baton Rouge, La.
Sam Houston is in the process of completing negotiations for another home game on either Saturday, Sept. 13 or Saturday, Sept. 20.
The 2014 Southland Conference schedule sees Sam Houston hosting games at Bowers Stadium against McNeese Saturday, Oct. 11; Abilene Christian Saturday, Oct. 25 and Central Arkansas Saturday, Nov. 2.
The Bearkats and the SFA Lumberjacks will duel in the 89th "Battle of the Piney Woods" at Reliant Stadium in Houston Saturday, Nov. 1.
Road Southland games take the SHSU football team to Lamar Saturday, Sept. 27; Northwestern State Saturday, Oct. 18; Incarnate Word Saturday, Nov. 8; and Houston Baptist Saturday, Nov. 15.

How to recognize if a webpage is secure
Recognizing a safe and secure internet page is the most important skill you should learn after you learn how to use a mouse. There are many different types of internet pages that you can visit that can be malicious, and cause your PC to have problems, and infect it with virus.
However, don't panic, if i was to compare it to walking down the street and saying that speaking to the wrong person can get you killed, you could probably say well its easy to recognize who would be more likely to do that. This is the same idea for webpages, once you learn just a few small things, you will be able to recognize every webpage that isn't secure.
The address bar
Understanding the address bar in your internet browser is the first step to understanding if you are on a secure webpage. The address bar gives you the address of the webpage, and can easily give you crucial information about if the site you are vising is valid.
As an example, you might visit the payment website, paypal. If you look at the address bar it will say www.paypal.com, ok that looks secure, but what if it said www.paypaI.com is that the same site?
Please vote below, if you think i just typed the same site. Ok, its obvious that this is a trick question somehow, but if you can't see the difference, then please vote honestly :)
Paypal and PaypaI is the same address
Ok the answer is the are not, they are different, the last letter in the first address is "L" however in the second address the last letter is "i". I've changed the case here so you can understand. But this is the first lesson in understanding if you are on a correct secure website or not. Its a tactic used by website hackers, and people who want to steal your data. However before you panic you wouldn't think that because you know that some people are pick pockets, that you should never walk around with a wallet or purse, of course not. The same applies here too.
A hacker or a scammer wants you to visit their website where they have changed an address of a well known website, and they hide behind that to steal your password and user name.
How do you avoid going to scammer website?
Its actually very easy. First of all, if you are going to log into a website, do a search for the website in google, and look for a correct link to the site. If you do a search for paypai.com you will see some interesting results showing up.
There are lots of websites already showing information about this scam, however thats not the 2 things that i want you to notice. If you take a look at the "did you mean" you will see that google are actually recommending a website address. This will be 99.999999% the correct website, especially if its a big website like paypal, it will be 100% the right address. The reason for this is that google tracks which websites are scams, so they should never show up in the results, that doesn't mean they won't ever, but you can be quite sure that its very unlikely. Sort of like having your purse inside your inside pocket, and yet you bump into a magician who still manages to get it from you. Thats probably just not going to happen.
The second thing you should notice is that there is also a paid search result advert showing a link to paypal also. This is another goodway to get to a safe website, is through a recommended google ad or link. Again, scammers avoid using paid search advertising in google.
Green bar security seal
The next thing you should understand is the green security seal. Now, this should be shown on most of the big sites that you visit, like online banking, or payment sites. You can recognize it by its distinctive green highlight color like the picture below.
The reason this green bar shows on sites is that they are marked as https which means that the site is secure. Actually even a scam website can have a green mark, so its not 100% safe either. In the same way that if you ask a trusted friend to hold your purse or wallet for a minute, then you can't guarantee that they will give you it back or you'll see them again, but you can be pretty sure. So although the green mark is not 100% safe, its the same 99.999999% safe.
Now that doesn't mean that if you visit a site that doesn't have a green mark, thats its a scam site, far from it. Most of the internet is made up of unsecure sites. The reason for this is they don't have to protect you for any reason. They are just content sites, where you arrive to read or view media. So they don't need to have security features, as you are not submitting any personal information to them. That takes me to the next important lesson. Your personal data. Don't just drop your name and address and other details to every little site you visit. Make sure that before you do, you understand what the site is, and decide if you really need to submit that information or not. If i ask you for directions in the street, you'll probably be polite and tell me. But what about if i ask you in the street for your address, and what time you normally go to work? You'll politely decline to give me that information obviously.
For commerce sites, where you buy stuff you'll have to enter data to obviously make an order. Now here is where you you might have to take a quick jump to google and see if you can find any information about the site, or does it accept paypal or google checkout? If it does then you will be safe to proceed as long as you keep an eye out for what page you are redirected to, and its not somehting like www.paypal-securepayment-card-processingservices.com
If you are suspicious that your on a site that you think is a scam, and you already have used the site securely before, then just reset your password. Or, type in the wrong password. A scam site will thank you for submitting your details, and then re-direct you to the main correct site. A wrong password on a correct secure site will show a message saying you put in the wrong password.
Ok and the last good tool to recognize a secure website is via a link on a webpage.
if i put the address www. microsoft-search-engine.com and you click it, do you really think that you will be redirected to microsoft search engine? Click and see! lol, its ok its a safe link.
However before you click and find out the real website that you are sent to you can view where the link is. Just like a map that show you where you are going to go before you go there.
The correct link is shown in the bottom left of your browser window.
So there you have it, now you can be confident about knowing when a page is secure and when one isn't, and if you want to practice, go into your spam email folder, and look for some emails that say your "online bank account has been hacked" there will be a few, there is always tons in my spam mail, and obviously most of the time they are with banks that i've never used before. I always like to have an occasional look at the sites though, its good practice. and if your feeling particular nasty then type in some random username and password, and some hacker in nigera can spend time thinking they scammed you, however you know better, you can spot a fake website a mile away! <cue dramatic closing music>

More on these goodies below!

Here's a customized Repair Pycnogenol Serum by Skin Inc catered for my complexion.
It's an anti-oxidant 350 times more effective than vitamin C and 170 times more powerful than vitamin E. Usage is 2-3 drops twice daily before you load up on moisturizer. This helps with stressed and sun damaged skin which would be ideal in sunny Singapore.

- Floral and sweet scented
"Tea Leaf Culture takes tremendous pride in the quality of our tea leaf blends. Hence the loose leaf tea rather than tea bagged teas. Tea Trim is meticulously formulated in Australia with both organic and natural ingredients only.
Instead of using numerous different ingredients, Tea Trim contains only five essential and effective ingredients for maximum benefit: Organic Sencha green tea, Puer, Rose Petals, Licorice, and Yerba Mate."
Recommended Usage of Tea Trim: Twice daily. 30 minutes before meals.
TruLife Herbal System Detox(right)
TruLife Herbal System Detox aids in digestion and lessens oil absorption after meals, helping you expel toxins so you can stay healthy and lean with less effort. It contains an effective mix of 6 active ingredients known for fast digestion and detoxification properties.
Its taste is not the most attractive because of the ingredients contained(below) but I assure you this is a bottle full of goodness. The directions for consumption is a bottle daily and I would suggest to take it in the morning before you start your day about, you can even choose to have it chilled.
Green Tea – aids in your body's protection from free radicals while increasing metabolism.
Lotus leaf – helps the body digest food more effectively and loosens bowels for better release of toxins from the body.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer with SPF20
This is one brand I've always considered to try but it took a lot of contemplating as I wasn't willing nor ready to pay for the huge tube not knowing if it suits my skin or not. I guess I am now! This works as a skincare and makeup and gives off a healthy dewy glow after application.
If you're looking for a no makeup look, this is it! It is created to give a soft hint of color that evens and enhances without hiding the skin, as said by Laura Mercier herself.

Davines Sea Salt Spray
I usually hate hair products, but I am in love with Davines Sea Salt Spray. Usually hair products instantly make my hair feel dirty, and I am forced to wash my hair the next day because the product tends to make my hair greasy. Davines sea salt spray makes my hair matte not greasy, smells great, and creates texture that I have never had before on clean hair. It is wonderful, and really thickens my fine hair. I purchased my Davines sea salt spray on amazon for $27.50.
This Davines sea salt spray really perfects my messy bun. Below are great you-tube videos I found on how to fishtail braid, milkmaid braid and to create the perfect ballerina bun.
I also tried lots of other Davines products which I really enjoy using.

In memory of Kathreen
I found out yesterday afternoon about the tragic death of Kathreen and her husband Rob.
We never met in person but it feels like I lost a dear friend.
She was one of the first ones to link to my early tutorials. Later she asked me if I wanted to become a contributor to the Crafternoon series and her kids magazine Action Pack.
My oldest daughter became penpals with her daughter.
We're devastated.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to Kathreen and Rob's children, her family and friends.
Note: If you feel like helping, I'm redirecting you to this post where you can find details about a fund for Kathreen's children.

The Cornell Savoyards and Women's Works collaborated to produce "Cendrillon," an opera by late 19th century French composer Pauline Viardot. The score was adapted, expanded and translated by Ruth Roland, Melissa Snyder and Kristen Park. Holly Adams, a former Cornell Civic Leaders Fellowship recipient, directed the performance. The small cast, including six Cornell staff members and alumni, performed the Cinderella opera in English at Ithaca's Community School of Music and Art in June 2007.

Human rights concerns to be aired at ASEAN
Australia intends to press its southeast Asian neighbours including Cambodia and Myanmar about serious human rights concerns when leaders gather in Sydney this weekend.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop will be among senior ministers speaking with counterparts from the 10-country Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), including Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Australia is under pressure to publicly condemn the deaths and expulsion of thousands of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar's Rakhine State in recent months.
"I would certainly be encouraging Aung San Suu Kyi to attend the summit so that we can raise directly with her the concerns that we have," Ms Bishop told ABC radio on Tuesday.
"This is an opportunity for us to discuss issues of concern face-to-face and raise with the ASEAN leaders the value that Australia attaches to protecting and promoting human rights."
Australia has provided humanitarian aid to help support hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people who have fled across the border into Bangladesh refugee camps following a military crackdown last August.
Ms Bishop was also pressed on how Australia would deal with Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen, who has threatened those who protest against him at ASEAN with violence.
"We want to engage all ASEAN members at the summit because it provides us with the best chance of influencing issues," the minister said.
Ms Bishop said she would seek assurances about Australian filmmaker James Ricketson, who has been held in pre-trial detention since June last year, during bilateral talks with Cambodia.
"Of course the matter will be raised ... the matter has already been raised with them and I will continue to pursue it," she said.
Ahead of the summit, Ms Bishop hailed the role of international law in settling regional conflicts, in a speech considered a direct message to Beijing over rival claims the South China Sea.
"Australia and our region - in fact, the globe - has been the beneficiary of the rules-based order," Ms Bishop said ahead of the speech.
"Australia is making the quite self-evident case that it's in our interests, in the region's interests, that we need to stick to the rules.
"It regulates behaviour between states, it regulates competition and rivalries, and gives opportunities for nations who feel aggrieved to have their grievances aired through international institutions."
Beijing claims most of the South China Sea and has been building artificial islands within the crucial trade route, which is believed to contain large quantities of oil and natural gas.
ASEAN members Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines all have rival claims in the sea, as does Taiwan.
Australia has long maintained its neutrality on the dispute.

The Crucible's Fire & Light Soirée
On Saturday, April 9, The Crucible hosted its annual fundraising event Fire & Light Soirée and Art Auction supporting The Crucible's Education Programs. This year, Christopher and Camille Bently were presented with The Crucible's Clarion Award, a bronze bell cast in The Crucible's foundry. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour followed by a delicious three-course dinner, live entertainment including music, dance, magic, and fire performance by The Traveling Spectacular, as well as fire and art installations and seventeen unique sculptures on display and available for purchase. The event was a complete success, with special guest Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf presenting The Crucible with a mayoral proclamation for its many contributions to the collaboration of arts, industry, and community.

The theme of this exhibition is '30 Years of Wildlife and Travel Photography through Africa' During the past 30 years Brian has spent over a year of his life travelling and photographing in various countries in Africa.
Brian hopes this public display will create interest in his prints, and promote the illustrated talks he gives.

the only difference is the folk...
...is my personal motto on music. What I mean by it is that all music is valid music to someone. It is tied to cultural and personal values. For instance, blues folk like blues music, opera folk like opera music, heavy metal folk like heavy metal music. To dismiss someone's music as "not worthy" can be and is often construed as dismissing that person and that person's cultural values. I find it better to seek and understand why someone likes the music they do. It helps keep the doors of global and generational communication open.
What do you value in music?When encountering unfamiliar music, one might be tempted to say, "it sounds icky," "it's just random notes," "It all sounds boring and the same," "Anyone can write that," or "Turn that @#$% noise OFF!" These comments do not tell us about the music itself or why someone composes the way they do.
What is really at stake is a question of aesthetics that branch of philosophy which deals with personal tastes, especially with regard to art and music. These personal tastes are a reflection of cultural and personal values. For instance, in our society, people tend to value music with a recognizable melody that follows a standard harmonic progression such as I-IV-V-I. Another common cultural aesthetic is that major keys sound happy and minor keys sound sad, or consonance sounds pretty and dissonance sounds ugly. These aesthetics are not shared among different cultures, generations or even individuals.
One of the benefits from this study guide is that it helps show the changing tastes of Western art music over the course of generations as well as music from other world cultures. Reflect for a moment on what you value in music. Then ask yourself, "How does this compare with the musical values of different cultures and time periods represented in this guide"?
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to your personal reflections. The only wrong answer is in forcing ones personal values upon another, or disregarding another person's values because they do not agree with your own. If you hear a new piece of music and think it sounds like noise, listen again and try to pick out its musical texture, form, rhythm, etc. What does this tell you about the values of the culture from which it comes? -- Xenia Sandstrom-McGuire, August 2004

Regarding your July 11 editorial about the changes to Balboa Park: The rumor is that the theme for the city's 2015 celebration will be "Innovation." The Jacobs plan is the antithesis or exact opposite of that theme, showing no innovative approach to providing improved access to the park. It follows the proven flawed approach of encouraging auto use.
That approach, incorporated into the San Diego landscape through such actions as the city purchasing and closing the streetcar lines in 1948, building freeways through neighborhoods and parks and encouraging separation of housing from places of employment, has resulted in urban sprawl, congested roads, pollution and diversion of resources that could have been used to advance our society.
Balboa Park has been called "The Soul of San Diego." That soul, as with the naming rights to "Jack Murphy Stadium," has been corrupted with another back-room deal that the shareholders in the San Diego city corporation are swallowing the same way that they accepted renaming Jack Murphy Stadium to "Qualcomm Stadium" and, most recently, to Snapdragon stadium (illegally.)
If the city really believed in innovation, it would adopt ideas that I've proposed at sandiego2015.com and invest in Balboa Park. Right now, the city's investing in keeping the car culture of the 20th century instead of investing in the future of the city through making Balboa Park a model that links the past with the future.
The city corporation is living on debt that future revenues, based on the operating model, cannot sustain. Time to change the model.
Kevin Swanson, Paradise Hills
Happy pride—not
Wow. Thanks for the delightful and colorful cover for your San Diego Pride issue [July 18]—because nothing says "Happy Gay Pride" quite as much as a cover story titled: "Raped behind bars." Boy, I saved that investigative issue for my kitchen table for my pre-parade house party. Nice choice. Thanks for your enthusiasm for Gay Pride! (Not.)
Tom Lombardo, Hillcrest
A feeling of Schadenfreude
The cover story in the July 18 CityBeat, "Raped behind bars," was interesting, but it left me with the impression that the readers are expected to feel sorry for "Joe." I don't have statistics available, but it is a common fact that criminals commit several more crimes than just the ones they are actually arrested and punished for. There's a real possibility that "Joe" committed several more "robberies" or other crimes than what he was punished for.
Being the victim of a couple burglaries over my lifetime, I may not have the same intensity of being violated that a rape victim has, but the feeling of having been violated is still very real. I imagine that would also extend to robbery victims, as well. (I've always maintained the idea that these burglaries were my fault for not having better protected and secured my property. That's how I faced the facts and moved on with my life.)
Would it be inappropriate to admit to a feeling of schadenfreude while reading this article? The only way I am capable of feeling sad for "Joe" is if he were to add his feelings of regret to having violated other persons for his own selfish gain. Otherwise, nah! If he'd not violated others, he himself would not have been in a position to be violated. Too bad you did not publish his real name and a list of the offences he committed against other persons that he was not punished for. Not to punish him again, hell, give him immunity! Just give his victims their own taste of schadenfreude!
