Chickenpox and Shingles fact sheet
Fact sheets Currently selected
Chickenpox is a common viral infection that can reappear later in life as Shingles. Chickenpox vaccination is recommended for all infants at 18 months of age. Shingles vaccination is recommended for all adults at 70 years of age.
What is Chickenpox?
Chickenpox (varicella) is a viral illness caused by the herpes zoster virus (also known as the Varicella-Zoster virus).
In children it usually causes a relatively mild illness but it may reappear later in life as Shingles.
Chickenpox in adults and immunosuppressed people can be severe. Infection in pregnancy can cause foetal malformations, skin scarring, and other problems in the baby.
Before routine vaccination began in November 2005, chickenpox was a very common illness. The incidence of chickenpox appears to have decreased as more people receive the vaccine.
Chickenpox begins with a sudden onset of slight fever, runny nose, feeling generally unwell and a skin rash.
The rash usually begins as small lumps that turn into blisters and then scabs. The rash appears over three to four days. At any one time, the lesions of the rash vary in stages of development.
Symptoms usually occur two weeks after exposure to the virus.
Most people recover without complications, but sometimes the infection can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia and inflammation of the brain. Rarely, the infection can be fatal.
Persons who are previously vaccinated can still get chickenpox. If chickenpox occurs in a vaccinated person it is usually mild and less contagious than in an unvaccinated person.
How is it spread?
Early in the illness, the virus is spread by coughing.
Later in the illness, the virus is spread by direct contact with the fluid in the blisters.
The infection is highly contagious to people who have never had chickenpox or who have not been vaccinated.
People are infectious from one or two days before the rash appears (that is, during the runny nose phase) and up to five days after (when the blisters have formed crusts or scabs)
Chickenpox infection triggers an immune response and people rarely get chickenpox twice.
Who is at risk?
Anyone who has not had chickenpox or been vaccinated in the past can get chickenpox.
People with a past history of chickenpox are likely to be immune to the virus. Even adults with no history of chickenpox have a chance of being immune (because of past infection that was mild). Doctors sometimes perform a blood test to see if these people need a vaccination.
How is it prevented?
A varicella-containing vaccine (MMRV – measles, mumps, rubella, varicella) is now recommended and funded for all children at 18 months of age.
Varicella vaccination is also recommended for all non-immune adolescents (>14 years ) and adults. This involves two doses at least 1 month apart. It is especially recommended for people at high risk, for example, health care workers, people living with or working with small children, women planning a pregnancy, and household contact of persons who are immunosuppressed.
People with chickenpox should avoid others (and not attend childcare or school) until at least five days after onset of the rash and all the blisters have dried.
People with chickenpox should cover the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, dispose of soiled tissues, wash their hands well and not share eating utensils, food or drinking cups.
Pregnant women should avoid anyone with chickenpox or shingles and should see their doctor if they have been around someone with these illnesses.
Children with an immune deficiency (for example, leukaemia) or who are receiving chemotherapy should avoid anyone with chickenpox or shingles as the infection can be especially severe.
Most cases can be diagnosed based on the symptoms and by appearance of the rash. Sometimes the diagnosis is confirmed by testing samples taken from the rash or from blood samples.
What is Shingles?
Shingles (also called Zoster) is caused by the reactivation in the body of the same virus that causes chickenpox, usually in adulthood and many years after the initial chickenpox illness.
The illness is characterised by a painful chickenpox-like rash on a small area of skin, usually on one side of the body.
Pain and tingling associated with the rash may persist for weeks or months after the rash has cleared. This is called post-herpetic neuralgia.
The virus can be spread by direct contact with the skin rash of infected people. This causes chickenpox in people who are not immune.
Shingles develops more commonly in people who are immunosuppressed.
How is Shingles prevented?
A single dose of zoster vaccine is recommended and funded for adults at 70 years of age. Adults 71-79 years of age are eligible for free vaccine under a catch up program until 31 October 2021.
Adults aged 60–69 years are also recommended to have a single dose of zoster vaccine but this is not funded. The exact duration of vaccine efficacy is not known but protection does wane over time. The need for revaccination is not yet determined.
Adults aged 50–59 years are not routinely recommended to receive zoster vaccine, but they can receive it if they want to protect themselves against Shingles.
How are Shingles and Chickenpox treated?
Shingles can be treated with special antiviral drugs such as acyclovir. Your general practitioner can advise on ways to minimise the discomfort associated with the symptoms of infection.
Chickenpox infection usually resolves without treatment.
What is the public health response?
Chickenpox is not a notifiable condition in NSW but the incidence is monitored through the number of patients attending emergency departments and the number of patients who are hospitalised with chickenpox or shingles.
Varicella vaccine protects against chickenpox, even if given up to five days after exposure.
Short-term immunisation with varicella-zoster immunoglobulin (VZIG) - which is made from antibodies in donated blood - can prevent illness in people at high risk of complications. This needs to be given within 96 hours of exposure to the virus to be effective.
People at high risk of complications following exposure include pregnant women who have not had chickenpox and who have not been immunised, newborn babies, and some people with immunosuppression due to illness or treatments.

Home Market News & Analysis Is sterling the currency of choice, now?
Is sterling the currency of choice, now?
What made us focus our attention on the British pound was the fact that during the past few days this particularly currency has soared. This rise culminated on Tuesday when the GBP reached a year-to-date high of $1.626, a remarkable 9.4% rise on the low figure of $1.486 which was recorded in early July 2013.
Some analysts were quick to jump up and claim that such impressive performance by the pound sterling will not be sustainable and that it will most probably not continue. They base their rationale mostly on concerns that the recovery experienced in the UK economy is falsely based on yet another housing bubble, achieved though government intervention in the form of "help to buy" policies, and that there is no real economic growth in the UK economy, other than that led by consumer demand. Also pointing out the fact that the U.K.'s current-account deficit hit 5.5% of GDP in the first quarter of 2013, these experts remain pessimistic about what the future holds for the pound sterling.
Trying to bring in some new perspectives and keep all of you, binary options online traders up to date and up to grabs with the real issues in the world markets, we propose that, taking an array of factors into account, the pound sterling, is emerging, at least in the short to medium term, as the "go to currency" for investors to resort to.
The main thread behind our argument is quite simple and perfectly clear, the GBP is better off than all its main competitors, namely the US dollar, the Euro and the Yen. Why is that?
Well, let us first dismantle the case for the dollar. It is true that many were expecting that the dollar would be lifted on account of the recovery of the American economy and less dovish policies by the U.S. Federal Reserve. However, instead of that, we now have the shutdown of most operations of the American government, due to the debacle between the Congress and the Senate, the row over the "Obamacare" bill and the absence of a budget, without which things have come to a standstill. What is worse is that the politicians in Washington appear either unwilling or unable to solve this mess fast enough, with a lot of money being lost every day that passes. What is even more alarming is the looming date of 17th October, when if lawmakers in the US do not raise the country's debt limit, a catastrophic default will occur, which will have devastating effects not only on the USA but all over the world.
Turning now to the Euro, let us say that the Italian political crisis that is evolving currently is yet another hurdle in a bumpy road. And even if the Italian Prime Minister manages to secure a vote of confidence and elections are avoided, all these is another grim reminder of how volatile things still are in Europe, especially in the countries of the south, which face the biggest economic problems. The possibility of a third aid package for Greece has yet to be clarified, while in Germany the negotiations to form a new government appear to be protracted and will require more time and compromises all around. Against this backdrop, unemployment data show a worsening of the situation across the European continent, especially amongst the young and the man at the helm of the all-mighty European Central Bank, Mario Draghi does not appear to be ready to take decisive action to make things better.
Last, but not least, the Yen, which might be recording gains to the US shutdown, especially against, however, it is our view that the recent developments in Japan, with the Prime Minister announcing his plans to raise the consumption tax to 8% from 5% starting in April 2014, with a further 2 % increase in 2015, might prove problematic as it appears to forget the hard lessons learned when such an increase was imposed again back in 1997, and also appears to have underestimated the factor of inflation.
So, now you have the facts and our opinion. By no means is an investment encouragement, but a well informed and up–to-date binary options trader bound to be far more successful than the ignorant one.

Disney Live Action Nerd News Popular Film
Win a Trip to Hawaii by Entering #TheFinestHours Giveaway
By Christa Thompson // November 19, 2015
Has someone in your life done something special to help you? Did they leave a lasting mark of compassion? Disney is giving fans a chance to win a trip to Hawaii by entering a photo of the person you know at THE FINEST HOUR's Tumblr page and sharing your finest hour story in 100 words or less of how this person demonstrated courage by helping you.
The Finest Hours is in theaters January 29th
The Finest Hours revisits the early 1950's heroic story of the most daring rescue mission in the history of the Coast Guard when a massive nor'easter struck New England, pummeling towns along the Eastern seaboard and destroying ships in its path. The film highlights the story of the SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound for Boston, which was torn in half, trapping more than 30 sailors as it sunk to the ocean's floor.
Casey Affleck stars in the role of Ray Sybert, the senior officer on board first assistant engineer who takes charge of the crew to ride out one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast. Meanwhile, as word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard station in Chatham, Massachusetts, Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff (Eric Bana) orders a daring operation to rescue the stranded men. Despite overwhelming odds, four men, led by Coast Guard Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine), set out in a wooden lifeboat with an ill-equipped engine and little, if any, means of navigation, facing frigid temperatures, 60-foot high waves and hurricane-force winds.
Disney's THE FINEST HOURS, which is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars Chris Pine, Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, John Ortiz and Eric Bana, storms into theaters onJanuary 29th!

Dog Hotel in Canada Pampers Pets
Vancouver, Canada (NTN24) – When summer rolls around in Vancouver on Canada's west coast, dogs with sophisticated tastes know where to go.
These pooches' owners have left them in good hands at the Rex Dog Hotel and Spa, complete with its own water park and water balls designed just for animals.
"So those are fun, and it also keeps the dogs nice and cool during the summer hot spells," says Rex owner Barrie Balshaw. "We have as well a little wading area if they want to go and lie in the water for a bit, but that makes it fun too, because it's not like balls where they can get possessive. The water balls are there and then they're gone, so that's a fun little idea. And its keeps them clean too. Nice and fresh."
The Rex is an enormous, 10,000 square-foot facility for dogs who've come to expect only the best in service, comfort and style.
When Balshaw and his wife Karen opened the pooch hotel in 2006, they had big dreams. They wanted to create a vibrant, relaxing, fully modern place where pet owners could leave their animals and feel good about it.
The doggie mini-bar menu speaks volumes about the establishment's ethos: elk marrow, bison knuckle bones, and gourmet turkey liver.
The building was a former slaughterhouse and then home to a chocolate factory. The Balshaws invested more than a million dollars in redesigning it to create a paradise for dogs when they're away from their own homes.
The elegant building gives guests the impression they're about to check in at an exclusive resort or indulge in a lavish spa treatment. But make no mistake, this place is for hounds only.
This stuffed animal pooch has an unmistakable northern style. Its sweater is a traditional homemade Canadian Cowichan design – they sell for just under $50.
But save the sweaters for winter. It's hot outside and time to play and cool off in the water park.
The dogs certainly aren't shy, and they can never get too much attention.
It's a tough life: unlimited playtime, and devoted staff at the ready to satisfy your every wish.
The Balshaws have run dog daycares in Vancouver for over 15 years. They recently adopted Shilo from a shelter, and she's happily adjusting to her new home where she gets to play with other dogs and also gets a lot of one-on-one attention from her owners.
The Rex hosts as many as 300 dogs a week, and it can lodge 60 pooches a night. All the dogs are supervised 24 hours a day. Small dogs have their own separate play area, so they're not bullied by the big guys.
At night, the dogs sleep on futuristic, comfy space beds or platform beds. Owners can keep an eye on their pets by checking out videos of them that the hotel posts online.
Balshaw says many dog owners in Vancouver are reluctant to spend money on luxury goods for their pets, but they're willing to spend on high-end accommodation for what he calls "members of their families".
A full day at the hotel's doggie daycare is $25.00, or $17.00 for part of a day. An overnight costs $58.00 and there are discounts for longer stays and for families that bring more than one pet at a time.
A 15-night stay costs $47.00 per day or $660.00 in total. Check in times are 9:00 am to 1 pm, and check outs are anytime during reception hours seven days a week.
The only requirement is that dogs must have had their vaccination shots, and aggressive dogs or male dogs that aren't neutered aren't welcome.
Cathy Austin adopted her beagle Allie four years ago, and the two have become best friends. Austin is an avid marathon runner, and Allie loves being out on the trails with her four hours a day. When Austin and her husband go away on business, often for months at a time, they have no hesitation bringing Allie to the Rex.
"I think she gets socialisation, which she kind of needs, because we don't know what her background was in terms of socialisation," says Austin. "She tends to be either aggressive or shy away from other dogs. So I think this is really good for her in terms of learning how to interact in a healthy, positive way with other dogs."
After a lot of playtime, many of the dogs get a bath and a scrub with natural shampoo and conditioner. Baths, brush-outs and blow-dry cost $20 for small dogs up to $39.00 for large animals.
Six year-old Yorkshire Terrier Sasha is getting used to all the water. The baths end up being a bit of a bonding session.
"We don't technically groom, we just bathe with a blow-dry and a brush-out, so we don't do any fur clipping or anything like that, but I really enjoy spending this time with the dogs," says Rex staff member Nicole Levesque. "Especially if the dog's a little bit nervous, they get to know you a little bit more, and after the bath, they tend to be more your friend than they were before the bath. But I like doing that too, because I like the before and after results. They're always kind of cool, especially when you have a really frizzy dog, and then you brush them all out and they're just a big poof. So that's kind of fun."
Max is a 14 year-old Lakeland Terrier, and today he's getting a good scrub before his owner picks up him.
He's lost his hearing, and he makes an adorable purring sound. The Rex has become a comfortable place for him, and staff make sure he has just what he needs.
"We want to make sure that he's not over-taxed, and so they take him on his individual walks and they monitor whether he feels like going on a walk that particular day," says Max's owner, Jill Gardiner. "And if they take him with other dogs, they make sure they don't take him with dogs that are going to be rushing along and making him sore."
With dozens of dogs at the Rex at any given time, staff are sure to feed each one its own special diet. Meal time is always a big job that the dogs love.
It's never easy for a dog lover to leave their pet for any length of time. But dog hotels like the Rex hope to provide an answer.


Most pieces of case furniture (kitchen and bathroom furniture, cabinets, wardrobes, tables and etc.) are made of 18 mm thick wood particle boards finished with various coatings. This three-layered constructional material is obtained by bonding wood particles of different fractions with synthetic resins using heating. The exploitation duration and quality of case furniture is determined by the mechanical properties of wood particle boards and the construction of joints of wood-based panels. On a frequent basis, pieces of case furniture with non-dismantable and dismantable construction are joined by using multidowel glued joints and cam connecting fittings intended for furniture, respectively. Wood-based panels can be joined with mitre joints whose mechanical properties have not undergone testing and comparison with regular joints when applying insertable wooden dowels or furniture connecting fittings. During the testing of particle board properties it was established that joining wood-based panels in this way ensures most efficient use of mechanical characteristics of the particleboard. In addition to the properties of the mitre joint, the tests also allowed determining the bending strength, tensile strength and bonding strength of the constructional material, and providing an original method for testing board properties, which can be successfully applied to the prediction of properties of the mitre joint. Tests were performed by using a universal tensile testing machine P-0.5. Joints were bonded by applying PVA dispersion. The surface of boards was veneered by using mahogany veneer and urea formaldehyde resin. It was found that mitre joints of wood particle boards can withstand loads that are higher from 2 to 4 times, in comparison to glued doweled joints or joints constructed with cam connecting fittings.

The website is now in 228 markets worldwide including Australia, US, Canada, UK, India, Japan, South Korea and the European Union.
From the home page it's easy to shop by categories whether you're looking for a Surface, Surface accessories, Xbox, Windows, software along with student needs and gift cards.
The site is well designed with an easy-to-navigate layout that had clear descriptions of all the products along pricing and customer reviews.
For us it was the Surface Pro 3 we were after and we were drawn to large image on the homepage.
It showed a person doing a crossword with a pen on the Surface Pro 3.
It had the heading "stay productive and endlessly entertained". That would be pretty good outcome.
I clicked on the "Shop Surface Pro 3" link and was immediately presented to the main Surface Pro 3 page.
There was a video to showcase the tablet's abilities along with a list of the product's main features.
All of the configurations (memory capacity and processor type) were also laid out clearly with the price changing to reflect the selection.
It stated quite clearly that delivery was free and there was also free returns if you're not completely satisfied with the product.
Once we chose the Surface Pro 3 we wanted – the 256GB with Intel i7 processor – we were taken to the next page which was the site's upselling equivalent "would you like fries with that".
Here we could choose a Surface Pro Type Cover, Office 365 Home, docking station, Surface Ethernet adaptor and a mouse – and we did.
From here we clicked on the shopping cart to see if we had everything we needed before checking out.
Then it was just a matter of filling out payment details and shipping address. Once that was submitted, we had our order number and a confirmation email.
To this point the whole transaction was smooth and straightforward. But what about if we had a question? Who could we talk to?
The Microsoft Store phone number is manned 24/7 if you have any inquiries but another option for support was online chat.
This is what we chose and within a minute we were chatting with Samantha who answered my question about whether I'd be receiving Office 365 as part of the shipped package or would I simply receive the code.
Samantha on the Microsoft Store accessed my order and answered my question – it would be the code.
We'd ordered the Surface Pro 3 and accessories late on a Saturday night and by Sunday night we'd received an email with a tracking number.
By Tuesday morning we could tell the package was onboard the truck and had also received a text message to say that the goods from Microsoft were on their way for delivery. It arrived at 2pm.
Start to finish the online Microsoft Store experience was a positive one.
Instead of going into a store and trying to find the version of the Surface Pro 3 I wanted along with all of the accessories in one place – it was a lot easier to let my mouse do the walking.

Today May 9th 2010 (Mothers Day) is the beginning of my personal migration across the USA from Florida back to California.
Driving across the southern states I will be making this trip for the 5th time in 4 years. The trip is just about 3000 miles and takes about 70 hours total drive time.
I will be passing through 8 states.
My destination is Long Beach, Ca and I should be there by Thursday.
I will be exhibiting at the Long Beach Scuba Show on Saturday and Sunday.
We will have an exciting object in our booth this years.
It promises to be a real show stopper!
I will be sending updates from the road along the way!
The drill ship Deepwater Horizon was finishing work on an exploration well named Macondo, in an area called Mississippi Canyon Block 252. After weeks of drilling, the rig had drilled down over 18,000 feet, into an oil-bearing zone. The Transocean and BP personnel were installing casing in the well.
BP was going to cap the well, and then move the Deepwater Horizon to a different location and bring in another rig to produce the oil. Producing oil from the well is work done with entirely different equipment than the exploratory drilling ship is designed to do.
The Macondo Block 252 reservoir may hold as much as 100 million barrels. That's not as large as other recent oil strikes in the Gulf, but BP management was still pleased. Success is success—certainly in the risky, deep-water oil environment. The front office of BP Exploration was preparing a press release to announce a "commercial" oil discovery.
This kind of exploration success was par for the course for Deepwater Horizon. A year ago, the vessel set a record at another site in the Gulf, drilling a well just over 35,000 feet and discovering the 3 billion barrel Tiber deposit for BP. So Deepwater Horizon was a great rig, with a great crew and a superb record.
Witnesses state that the lights flickered on the Deepwater Horizon. Then a massive thud shook the vessel, followed by another strong vibration. Within a moment, a gigantic blast of gas, oil and drilling mud roared up through three miles of down-hole pipe and subsea risers. The fluids burst through the rig floor and ripped up into the gigantic draw-works.
The scene was terrifying! It is amazing that only 11 were lost.
"Gas and oil rushed up the riser; there was little wind, and a gas cloud got all over the rig. When the main inductions of the engines got a whiff, they ran away and exploded. Blew them right off the rig. This set everything on fire. A similar explosion in the mud pit / mud pump room blew the mud pumps overboard. Another in the mud sack storage room, sited most unfortunately right next to the living quarters, took out all the interior walls where everyone was hanging out having - I am not making this up - a party to celebrate 7 years of accident free work on this rig.
NASA's Terra satellite flew over the Deepwater Horizon rig's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, May 1 and captured a natural-color image of the slick from space. The oil slick resulted from an accident at the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
In addition to the overall personnel responding, more than 2,000 volunteers have been trained to assist in the response effort.
Weather conditions for May 3 - Winds from the southeast at 17 - 23 knots, 5 -7 foot, rough seas with chance of afternoon showers.
As the containment boom starts to stretch across 4 states the outlook is grim to say the least. This disaster is growing by the minute. The toll on wildlife and the environment in general will be absolutely catastrophic.
BP and Transocean are preparing a "Hail Mary" attempt at capping the well this week. They are attacking the oil leak from two directions.
1) The Deepwater Development Driller III (above) is preparing to drill a relief well in an attempt at intersecting the damaged well and pumping cement into the well casing. They are hoping to stop the flow of oil from inside the oil reservoir itself. This operation will take weeks or even months to accomplish.
2) The Transocean drillship, Discoverer Enterprise (below) will utilize a caisson device to cover the failed BOP on the sea floor and hopefully route the leaking crude oil up to the surface to be recovered.
This cofferdam/caisson will be placed over the leaking wellhead & BOP.
I can tell you that when working in relatively shallow water, installing large heavy objects is tough enough. Now trying to do this in 5000 feet of water is going to be challenging to say the least. This highly technical operation is indeed possible but it will be extremely difficult.
I'll try to put this in perspective.
Stand on top of the Empire State Building in New York city.
Take a dixie cup, turn it upside down and insert a drinking straw into the bottom, now start lowering the dixie cup by attaching more straws to the first straw one at a time, keep adding straws until the dixie cup reaches all the way down to the sidewalk, now try to cover a marble with the dixie cup.
These operations are costing tens of millions of dollars per day!
And that is just trying to stop the flow of oil not cleaning up what has already spilled!
Who is going to pay for all of this? BP? Transocean?
My bet is gas prices will reach $3.50 per gallon by July 4th and $4.00 by the end of August.
Last Wednesday was a very sad day in Florida for sharks and those of us who are working hard to conserve them. Dr. Neil Hammerschlag's report on the RJ Dunlap Marine Conservation Program blog sums up the day's events and the senseless waste of two pregnant sharks - a Great Hammerhead and a Bull Shark - and their 47 unborn pups.
Out of tragedies, however, there are usually some positive outcomes and lessons learned. Having had a few days to calm down and think about what has happened, following are some observations.
All of the onlookers gathered at the beach in Delray on Wednesday were saddened and shocked at the sight of the rare and beautiful female hammerhead and the 35 unborn pups that unfortunately were already dead when we got to them. Many people jumped in to help -- moving the massive shark out of the surf, cutting the shark to get to the pups, documenting with pictures and video (thank you Chloe!), and even the very unpleasant job of obtaining biological samples for shark research. Several people offered to participate in beach patrols to watch for and report illegal shark fishing on the beach. THANK YOU!!
Capt. Bill Hardy of Berightback Charters commented: "Any useless and senseless destruction of life in our precious and fragile ocean ecosystem must be eliminated ....... Through study and education, we may have a chance to preserve our ocean."
George Campbell commented: "As a fisherman and advocate for sustainable catch and release shark fishing, I have to say that this is a tremendous loss." And he goes on to explain steps that "responsible fisherman can take to protect these animals while fishing".
Captain Curt Slonim of Curtasea Charters commented: "I would ask that you just take a moment to consider making the following changes within the club; mandate Circle hooks, take measurements and photos in a minimum of waist deep water, partner with a credited Research Organization, and take Shark Tournaments off of the calendar during the time of year that is known for Shark birthing."
c.uva commented: "Recreational fishing for sharks does affect the population whether it be landbased or boat based, there are ways to improve the catch and release survivabillity of sharks. I ASK SEVERAL SCIENTESTS TO COME FOWARD TO WORK ALONGSIDE REACREATIONAL SHARK FISHERMAN .... TO DECREASE MORTALITY RATES OF RELEASED SHARKS."
I would say this sounds like a great opportunity!
Recreational fishing is one of the largest contributors to Florida's economy. The vast majority of these fishermen are ethical, responsible and keenly aware of the need to protect our precious marine resources. There is definitely a need for more education on the value of these animals to the ecosystem, the life history characteristics and population status of Threatened shark species as well as gear and handling techniques to reduce stress, injury and post release mortality. Since the dialogue has now started, we need to keep it going and take this opportunity to make things better.
1. Circle Hooks need to be a requirement. Florida will consider a proposal to require circle hooks this year, which is a great step, but circle hooks should be required everywhere. J Hooks, which were used in both of Wednesday's incidents, often result in "gut-hooking" when the shark swallows the bait and the hook catches and tears internal organs. With circle hooks, the shark is hooked in the corner of the mouth, making the hook easier to remove and preventing the often fatal injuries caused by gut hooking or hooking the gills.
2. Regulations to protect pregnant female sharks during pupping season should be explored. Florida's coasts serve as vital breeding and pupping grounds - or Essential Fish Habitats - for several sharks species. During the Spring and early Summer, pregnant females come to these inshore areas to give birth to their pups. I honestly don't know what the appropriate regulation would be to protect these females during the pupping season. Two of the charter boat fishing captains who commented on the RJ Dunlap blog suggested either restricting land based fishing for sharks during this time of year or at least not holding land based shark tournaments during this time. Obviously more discussion is needed to come up with a rule that will adequately protect the pregnant females with the least negative impact on fishermen.
What I am sure of, though, is that every one of these mature reproductive females is extremely important. Research by Dr. Gruber's team and other shark scientists has demonstrated that a very small number of these breeders is responsible for maintaining the population for their species over a very broad area. The loss of just one of these mature females, especially a pregnant one, can seriously impact the population.
3. Hammerheads need more protection. The US and Palau recently proposed protection for hammerhead sharks under CITES, yet no hammerhead species is protected in US waters. Three types of hammerheads are classified as Threatened by the IUCN Shark Specialist Group -- Great Hammerheads -- Endangered - Very High Risk of Extintion; Scalloped Hammerheads -- Endangered -- Very High Risk of Extinction and Smooth Hammerhead - Vulnerable -- High Risk of Extinction. In addition, hammerheads are considered by scientists and fishermen to be among the most fragile species, which suffer extremely high post release mortality, both from commercial and recreational fishing. See this quote from Dr. Neil Hammerschlag, Director of the RJ Dunlap Marine Conservation Program at University of Miami. In the course of his research Dr. Hammerschlag has had the opportunity to observe and participate in the catch and release of thousands of sharks of many different species.
"Based on observations of hammerheads, compared with other sharks, when they are caught on rod & reel, they exert a tremendous amount of energy to fight the angler. They try to sprint (instead of jog) the marathon of the fishing event..so they become quickly stressed and over-exerted. There are both behavioral and physiological effects that increase their vulnerability at this stage. While fighting on a line, their normal swimming ability is greatly impaired, making it difficult for them to ram ventalate (pump water over their gills) as well as offload CO2. Thus, CO2 and subsequent lactate concentrations build up in their blood. which greatly increases capture stress and post-release mortality."
In addition many recreational shark fishermen attest that hammerheads very often die on the line and are much more susceptible to mortality than other shark species.
Because of this extreme fragility, I believe hammerheads should not only be Prohibited Species, but perhaps should be also be given protection under the Endangered Species Act. With ESA protection, any hammerhead accidentally hooked would have to be immediately cut loose, as is the case with smalltooth sawfish.
4. Enforcement should be improved. The agencies responsible for enforcement have limited budgets and personnel. Despite these difficulties, however, efforts could be improved. Education for enforcement personnel on what the regulations are, how to identify violators, and the importance of enforcing the regulations would help. Education and coordination of public volunteers to assist with enforcement could also relieve some of the pressure on these stressed agencies. We in the conservation community can help this area.
5. More study is needed on Catch and Release stress and mortality. According to NOAA Fisheries reports, approximately 550,000 sharks were harvested and another 14 million sharks were caught and released alive by recreational anglers in the US in 2007. And NMFS estimates that at least 20% of released fish end up dying. This works out to 14 million @ 20% = 2.8 million sharks + 550,000 = over 3.3 million sharks. Commercial shark landings in 2007 in the US totaled 15 million pounds. Using an estimated average weight of 10 lbs per shark, this works out to an estimated 1.5 million sharks. If the 20% mortality figure is correct, then the recreational fishing impact on sharks may be more than double that of commercial shark fisheries in the US. And the bulk of that number comes from well-meaning people who don't even intend to kill the animals!
These numbers should a provide a big incentive to fund research aimed at understanding the causes of post release mortality and reducing it.


For this demonstration we have chosen to use sedums and therefor a sandy, gritty soil.
Make a rough plan with the plants and stones.
Cover the bottom of the frame/liner with a layer of soil.
Start planting. Don't be afraid to break up the plants in to smaller pieces.
Try closing the frame to check the distance between the plants and the top of the frame.
however too much space between the plant and the frame could mean that the plants might fall when hung up.
Don't forget to add all your bits and pieces (Tip: if you have a lot of soil exposed cover it with a little garden moss).
When the planting is complete lightly water and back fill again. The frames take more soil than you might imagine.
Carefully close the frame and clip together (Tip: a couple of cable ties or wire will help to secure the frame).
Finally water according to the type of plants. If your frame contains sedum plants, use very little water.
It is possible to leave the smaller frames to soak in a bucket or a basin, but not for too long.

Q: How to return different kind of values in a column in one record I have a table dict (id,dict_name,dict_id,dict_type) and table record(fruit_id,tool_id,lan_id).I need to query it and return three dict_name for the three given ids in record in one record.
For example
It will return three dict_name(apple,car,lisp when fruit_id = 100, tool_id = 1000, lan_id = 22222) when I use limit 1 in the query,
I have tried lots ways to query, like
 SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT(dict.dict_name))
 FROM dict
 JOIN record
 WHERE dict.dict_id IN (record.fruit_id, record.tool_id, record.lan_id)
 GROUP BY dict.type" //

But I only get one dict_name in every record,and dict_names in
{'group_concat(DISTINCT(dict.dict_name))': apple},

and thress dict_names  but in more than one records
{'group_concat(DISTINCT(dict.dict_name))': apple},
{'group_concat(DISTINCT(dict.dict_name))': car},
{'group_concat(DISTINCT(dict.dict_name))': lisp}

Thank you.
dict:
dict_name  //  dict_id  //  type

    apple  //      100  // fruit
     pear  //      101  // fruit
      car  //     1000  //  tool
      bus  //     1001  //  tool
     lisp  //    22222  //   lan
     perl  //    22223  //   lan

id_record
 fruit_id  //  tool_id  // lan_id

      100 //      1000  //  22222
      100  //     1000  //  22222
      100  //     1000  //  22223
      101  //     1001  //  22223
      101  //     1001  //  22223
      101  //     1001  //  22223

It seems One-to-Many SQL SELECT into single row may help.

Q: Adding items to ListView repeats same XML element I have a listView box and I'm adding items into it. But it's giving me the same text/item for the idAtt and applicIDAtt elements in every row. The desc does update to a new value for every row.
Code
Public Sub loadFile()
    Dim doc As New XmlDocument()
    doc.Load(fileName)
    Dim LItem As New ListViewItem

    For Each node As XmlNode In doc.SelectNodes("/dmodule/content/faultIsolation/faultIsolationProcedure/faultDescr/descr")
        Dim idAtt = node.SelectSingleNode("//faultIsolationProcedure/@id").InnerText
        Dim desc As String = node.InnerText
        Dim applicIDAtt = node.SelectSingleNode("/dmodule/content/faultIsolation/faultIsolationProcedure/@applicRefId").InnerText

        Dim lv As ListViewItem = ListView1.Items.Add(idAtt)
        lv.SubItems.Add(desc)
        lv.SubItems.Add(applicIDAtt)
    Next
End Sub

Example XML
<dmodule>
<content>
    <faultIsolation>
        <faultIsolationProcedure applicRefId="Software" id="tree1">
            <fault faultCode=" "/>
            <faultDescr>
                <descr>This nodes description</descr>
            </faultDescr>
        </faultIsolationProcedure>
    </faultIsolation>
</content>

A: Your xpaths are a bit wonky; you're not really treating the document like a set of hierarchical nodes. If it helps, think of it like file paths and folders. Get the "folder" at a particular path and pull out its attributes/innertexts (files) but address it relatively from where you are
For Each node As XmlNode In doc.SelectNodes("/dmodule/content/faultIsolation/faultIsolationProcedure")
    Dim idAtt = node.Attributes("id").Value
    Dim desc As String = node.SelectSingleNode("faultDescr/descr").InnerText
    Dim applicIDAtt = node.Attributes("applicRefId").Value

Now, you didn't really post a usefully large XML document sample for me to work out exactly at what hierarchy level the nodes repeat themselves, so I assumed it's like this:
<dmodule>
    <content>
        <faultIsolation>
            <faultIsolationProcedure applicRefId=""Software"" id=""tree1"">
                <fault faultCode="" ""/>
                <faultDescr>
                    <descr>This nodes description</descr>
                </faultDescr>
            </faultIsolationProcedure>

            <faultIsolationProcedure applicRefId=""Software2"" id=""tree2"">
                <fault faultCode="" ""/>
                <faultDescr>
                    <descr>This nodes description2</descr>
                </faultDescr>
            </faultIsolationProcedure>
        </faultIsolation>
    </content>
</dmodule>

1 faultIsolation node has multiple faultIsolationprocedure nodes

Recently I had the pleasure of chatting with Marlyne Pierce of the Modern Mogul series podcast – and I'm excited to share it with you!
Marlyne and I connected in a business coaching course a few months ago.
I used to be in my masculine energy almost all the time (taking the lead, being aggressive), because deep down I probably knew it turned off men.
And back in the day when I was really awkward and uncomfortable around men, it definitely served its purpose and kept them at bay – at least romantically.
But after pushing past my fears of being around men and realizing "Hey, they're just as scared of us as we are of them – maybe more so", I had to learn how to tone down my masculine energy.
Don't get me wrong, masculine energy definitely comes I handy sometimes – like making things happen in my business – but definitely not in dating.
Because masculine energy attracts feminine energy – so if I'm putting out masculine energy, guess what type of guys I'll attract?

Many would have preferred him to marry an English woman. Yoko herself struggled with the realization that she was not liked by many, having been considered among the most beautiful and intelligent women in Japan.
Lennon wrote, "It was hard for Yoko to understand, having been recognized all her life as one of the most beautiful and intelligent women in Japan. The racism and sexism were overt.
I was ashamed of Britain. They understood that it would be an impossible task to escape the press, however, so they decided to use their honeymoon as a platform to protest the Vietnam War. They would allow the press into their room between 9 am and 9 pm. During this time, they would talk about peace, sing some songs, and just chill out.

The press were reportedly a little disappointed since at first they assumed they were being allowed into their room to film them getting hot and heavy. Oh well, better luck next time. In Marchshe was present with Cherie Blair at the unveiling of a seven-foot statue of Lennon, to mark the renaming of Liverpool airport to Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Each year, between October 9 and December 8, it projects a vertical beam of light high into the sky.
InOno created an exhibit called "John Lennon: The exhibit used music, photographs, and personal items to depict Lennon's life in New York, and a portion of the cost of each ticket was donated to Spirit Foundation, a charitable foundation set up by Lennon and Ono.
She is the widow of the victim, and her opinion has a strong influence on the parole board's decision to keep Chapman behind bars. Fluxus[ edit ] Ono is often associated with the Fluxus group, which was founded by George Maciunaswho was her friend during the s. Maciunas admired and enthusiastically promoted her work and gave Ono her U. He formally invited her to join the Fluxus group, but she declined because she wanted to remain independent.
She eventually found an inexpensive loft in downtown Manhattan at Chambers Street and used the apartment as a studio and living space. Ono supported herself through secretarial work and lessons in the traditional Japanese arts at the Japan Societyand she allowed composer La Monte Young to organize concerts in the loft.
With that work, Ono suggested that a work of art no longer needed to be mounted on a wall and inaccessible. Cut Piece, [ edit ] Ono was a pioneer of conceptual art and performance art. The piece consisted of Ono, dressed in her best suit, kneeling on a stage with a pair of scissors in front of her.
She invited and then instructed audience members to join her on stage and cut pieces of her clothing off. Confronting issues of gender, class and cultural identity, Ono sat silently until the piece concluded at her discretion. It demonstrates the reciprocity between artists, objects, and viewers and the responsibility beholders have to the reception and preservation of art.
Grapefruit book Ono's small book titled Grapefruit is another seminal piece of conceptual art. First published inthe book reads as a set of instructions through which the work of art is completed-either literally or in the imagination of the viewer participant. One example is "Hide and Seek Piece: Hide until everybody goes home.
Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies. David Bourdonart critic for The Village Voice and Voguecalled Grapefruit "one of the monuments of conceptual art of the early s". He noted that her conceptual approach was made more acceptable when white male artists like Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner came in and "did virtually the same things" she did, and that her take also has a poetic and lyrical side that sets it apart from the work of other conceptual artists.

It weakens the power of men and women all together. I hope Arising will wake up Women Power, and make us, men and women, heal together. Inthe Whitney Museum held a retrospective of her work, Yoko Ono: Objects, Films, marking Ono's reentry into the New York art world after a hiatus.

Jenson Button wins stunning Canadian Grand Prix
Thread: Jenson Button wins stunning Canadian Grand Prix
Jenson Button took a stunning victory in a dramatic, rain-affected Canadian Grand Prix by passing Sebastian Vettel on the last lap of an absorbing race.
Vettel's Red Bull ran wide under pressure to gift the win to Button, who recovered after a collision with McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
Red Bull's Mark Webber was third to deprive Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher of a podium place.
Vettel now leads the championship by 60 points from Button.
An incident-packed race saw the safety car used five times and included a two-hour stoppage for heavy rain. Button himself made five pit stops on his way to victory as well as an enforced visit to the pits for a drive-through penalty for speeding under the safety car.
Button described the win as possibly the best of his career.
"I really don't know what to say, it's been a very emotional race," he said. "The incident with Lewis - I couldn't see anything and I've apologised to him.
"It was really a fight from then on but I kept on pushing and I managed to get past Seb at the end. Another great win for me and possibly my best."
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said: "What a race. He is driving fantastically and we know he deserves it and hope everyone else does, too.
"He just attacked and attacked and delivered a fantastic race. We knew he had to put pressure on Sebastian - and Sebastian made a mistake. From Jenson, that's the stuff of champions, that's the stuff of dreams."
Vettel conceded ruefully: "If you have it in your hands and give it away it is not the sweetest feeling."
BBC F1 commentator Martin Brundle said: "At one point, we were wondering if Button would catch the Hispanias before the race restarted under the safety car and now he's won the race!
"That is one of the races of his life and the best grand prix of a spectacular career."
Co-commentator David Coulthard added: "What a fantastic drive from Jenson Button. It looked like it was all lost and he's well aware you count the winners at the chequered flag."
While Button celebrated, Hamilton left the track after an ignominious race that saw him drop from second to fourth in the championship.
Persistent rain through the morning left the track drenched and the race was started under the safety car.
The drama in one of the most sensational races for years began almost as soon as the drivers were released on lap five, and Hamilton was at the centre of it.
First he collided with Webber, who gave him room at the first corner only for the McLaren to slip off the kerb and into the Australian.
Webber spun and Hamilton had to go around the outside of the Red Bull, rejoining behind Button. Determined to make up ground, Hamilton pressed his team-mate hard. Button made a mistake at the final chicane at the end of lap eight and Hamilton saw his chance.
He dodged out from behind Button to his team-mate's left but Button continued on the racing line, edging towards the pit wall, apparently looking in his mirror. Hamilton kept coming and became pincered between Button and the pit wall. The two cars collided, spraying debris over the track.
"What is he doing?" screamed Button on his radio. After the race, he said he had not seen Hamilton but that they had spoken in the two-hour stoppage and agreed it was "just one of those things".
Hamilton said: "While I fell back behind Jenson, he made a mistake into the last corner, so I got the run on him.
"I was on the outside, it felt like I was halfway up alongside him - although I haven't seen the video - and whether he saw me or not he kept moving across, and I was in the wall. It was only the tyre that was busted. I put the 'diff lock' on and the team told me to retire."

Meg Lewis on breaking industry rules
By Creative Bloq Staff (netmag) 2014-02-25T08:18:34.55Z
The Brooklyn-based designer talks about her career so far, how she's no hardass and the perks of being your own boss.
One of the 10 nominees for Designer of the Year in the 2014 net Awards, Meg Lewis is founder and partner of web design, branding and illustration studio Ghostly Ferns. Specialising in web and UI design, Meg's career has seen her work with 50+ companies, from small stationery studios to early-stage startups. We chatted to her to find out more.
Give us a summary of your career so far.
I went to design school specifically to become a freelance designer. I didn't like the confines of designing for a company and loved the idea of getting away and seeing an afternoon movie on a Wednesday. While I was still in school I was determined to be a freelancer.
I started freelancing full-time, while living off of those lovely student loans, and was able to build up a professional portfolio by the time I graduated. My design studio, Ghostly Ferns, is now five years old and going strong with a team of five! I still make sure to work whatever hours I want and escape on weekday trips. I have the best boss.
What have you been working on over the last year?
I've been working on an internal CMS for the entirety of Condé Nast and all of its brands. This is essentially UI & UX design on steroids, as we have to account for the design working appropriately for all 20+ brands. We were able to start with GQ and move on to Vanity Fair. The system, called Copilot, is getting great feedback from writers and editors but we have a long road ahead of us to get Copilot across all brands effectively.
Lewis has spent the last year working on an internal CMS for the entirety of Condé Nast and all of its brands
What have been the particular high points of your career?
Each and every time I receive a new client inquiry in my inbox I think, "What? Who? How do you know who I am? Why did you choose me?" and have to take a step back and realize that I'm worthy of such awesome clients. It's exceptionally humbling working with the people and companies that I am able to design for daily. It's hard to pick a particular high point as I think I have a new one every week.
Who and what influences and inspires your work?
How do I answer this in a non-cliché way? It's not possible. I've been moving around from city to city over the past seven years and was always quickly stereotyped as the "overly ambitious one". It's hard to make friends that way. That all changed when I moved to Brooklyn and started working out of Studiomates. These people are incredibly talented and their motivation keeps me going strong. It's such an inspiration being surrounded by these prodigies and I couldn't be more lucky.

What are you excited about at the moment?
I recently started teaching an Interaction course at Parsons The New School for Design. I'm finally able to tell a group of students all of the things that I wish someone told me when I was their age. These students weren't necessarily interested in interaction before the class. It feels darn good to see them slowly beginning to love it. I'm determined to make them enjoy it as much as I do. I'm also showing them gifs and unrelated videos in class. They like that too.
Tell us about an important lesson you've learned in your career.
Do things the way you want to do them. A problem with our industry is that people like to preach about how you should do your job. Talk after talk about The Importance of Saying No, Concrete Contracts, Being a Hardass to Get What You Want. I'm certainly no hardass and I generally love saying yes.
I've had to learn to take those talks with a grain of salt and do things the way that works for me. I break a lot of industry rules and go against the advice of other designers all the time. That's okay!
Name an 'unsung hero', someone you admire who deserves more recognition for their work.
My Studiomate Dave Dawson is someone that I aspire to be like. He designs and builds products that are incredibly useful to him and, as a result, end up being incredibly useful to others. He is the mastermind behind Get Biked, my favorite innovation for NYC residents, and made Scrtchpd and Stash.
He's one half of On a Wednesday, one of my favorite weekly sites. Aside from all of that craziness, Dave is an exceptionally talented freelance designer. What's also great? He's a genuinely good person and a solid human being.

I noticed some people posting and reposting bold statements online that Japan is (the only) country that banned Islam. I searched a bit and found out that there are some mosques and Muslim societies in Japan, so it cannot be entirely true. Also, their constitution apparently provides for freedom of religion.
However - can someone confirm or disprove if Muslims indeed cannot get permanent residency and citizenship? Is it true that there is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan? Are Arabic languages taught at Japanese universities? Is halal slaughter legal in Japan?
I am aware that although Japanese culture is rooted in Shinto and Buddhism, the majority of people declare themselves to be nonreligious. It is conceivable that it is not the best ground for any new religion to grow. However, I am curious to what extent it is a cultural thing and what is actually protected by law.
The [Japanese] constitution provides for freedom of religion, and other laws and policies contributed to the generally free practice of religion.
There were some reports of societal abuse or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice.
There are no governmental statistics on the number of Muslims in the country. The Islamic Center estimates there are approximately 100,000 to 110,000 Muslims of whom 10,000 are citizens.
g) Japan is the only country in the world having negligible number of embassies of Islamic countries.
According to Wikipedia, Japan has embassies in many Muslim countries, including Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and many more.
I'm not sure what is meant by "Islamic" countries, but Iran and Saudi Arabia surely qualify.
I didn't find such clear reference to contradict other claims, but this example clearly shows that the author didn't bother to check his claims.
There are also groups such as Halal Japan, which indicate which foods you can or can't eat in Japan.
However, the word was banned to use, because it might be offensive to [Turkish] people. And the name has changed to [soapland] for more than 30 years.
So I think younger generations might not think too much of the word, [toruko-buro].
There were some contacts between Muslims (Islam not being a race as there has been a sizeable Muslim community in China since the 8th century AD) and the Japanese in the Middle Ages. But the kernel of the modern Muslim community in Japan dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when Muslims of central Asia were banned from practicing their religion according to Soviet measures and some landed in Japan.
The history of Islam in Japan is relatively brief in relation to the religion's longstanding presence in other nearby countries. Islam is one of the smallest minority faiths in Japan, having more adherents in the country than the Bahá'í faith, but fewer than Christianity. Japan's Muslim population is around 70,000 which includes less than 10,000 of them as Japanese and the rest being foreigners (Majority of them are nationals from Southeast Asian countries).
Reference: Ministry of Justice, Japan.
According to Japan Times, there are more than 100,000 Muslims and 60 mosques in Japan.
An Egyptian legal scholar based in Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, says he is working to increase understanding between the Japanese people and the more than 100,000 Muslims who live among them.
Islam has gradually put down roots in Japan. There are now around 60 mosques, many of them established in former private homes.
And there are no restriction on preaching Islam in Japan. Recently, Dr. Zakir Naik, a Muslim preacher, held a big conference where some people converted to Islam. One of the conferences (the topic was "What is Islam") were held in Kyushu University which is owned by the Japanese government. The authorities gave him permission to hold the conference and didn't interrupt the event for violating any laws.
So, Islam is not banned in Japan, Promotion of Islam is not banned in Japan, switching into Islam is not banned in Japan and the Japanese government is in fact, quite friendly to Islam (compared to western countries).
Edit: The OP asked some sub questions that I didn't address. I will try to address them all in this edit.
Can someone confirm or disprove if Muslims indeed cannot get permanent residency and citizenship?
Yes, Muslims can get Japanese citizenship. Japan has citizens who came from predominantly Muslim countries. And Japan doesn't list the religion of its citizens.
According to 2008 Japanese government figures, 19.9% of registered Pakistanis lived in Saitama, 17.8% in Tokyo, 12.3% in Kanagawa, 10.4% in Aichi, 8.98% in Chiba, 7.59% in Gunma, 6.02% in Ibaraki, 4.44% in Tochigi, 4.21% in Toyama, 3.27% in Shizuoka, and the remaining 4.98% in other prefectures of Japan. Only an estimated 200 Pakistanis hold Japanese citizenship.
Is it true that there is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan?
Many Japanese wives of Pakistani migrants have converted to Islam, and in fact form the largest group of native Japanese converts to Islam.
Are Arabic languages taught at Japanese universities?
Yes. Andrew Grimm's answer has more on this.
Is halal slaughter legal in Japan?
Yes. In fact, local authorities of a Japanese town named Taito Ward subsidies halal food.
In October 2015, Taito Ward began to provide up to ¥100,000 in subsidies to local businesses who wished to obtain halal certification. According to Takuji Kawai, director of the ward's Tourism Section, applications were filed so quickly that the ward had reached its quota in just two months, and were forced to double it.
What started out as three halal-certified restaurants and shops in Taito Ward, including Naritaya, became 19 in just a few months. In December, the ward also printed 10,000 copies of a Ueno/Asakusa map for Muslim tourists that show mosques, halal-certified restaurants, and Muslim-friendly hotels and souvenir shops in the area. The map went out of stock so fast that an additional 10,000 copies have already been ordered.
Yes. You can study Arabic at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
Arabic is an official language of the United Nations and is spoken in many countries around the world. It also plays a significant role in Islam as the language of the Koran. Unfortunately, not many people in Japan understand the language, thus making it very difficult to directly hear the voice of the Arab world.
There is also a Japanese-language page related to Arabic here (not equivalent to the English-language page).
In the University of Japan Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.
Apart from Arabic, I'm not aware of there being such a thing as an "Islamic language", and the consensus on the Islam Stack Exchange is that there's no such thing as an Islamic language other than Arabic. However, if they think languages spoken in predominantly Muslim countries are "Islamic languages", then Indonesian would be one, and it is taught at the same university as mentioned above.
