Fiji makes 'urgent' ILO list
Fiji has been cited by the International Labour Organisation in a report singling out 32 cases of what it says are 'the most serious and urgent concerning the right to organize, collective bargaining and social dialogue'.
The ILO's Committee on Freedom of Association listed Fiji alongside Argentina, Cambodia, Ethiopia and Peru in cases it examined that included the murder of four workers in Argentina.
No direct mention of the attacks on Fiji trade unionists but the Association urges Frank Bainimarama's to discuss the return of an ILO Direct Contacts Mission to the country.
The regime stopped the mission from trying to verify first hand complaints over the lack of freedom of association made by the Fiji Trades Union Congress.
In its report, the Committee calls on the Government 'to undertake independent investigations without delay into the allegations of physical assault, harassment and intimidation of trade union leaders and members.'
The full report is available at the following link:

Fiji makes 'urgent'ILO list - as an abuser of workers'rights and human rights.
Another one of the Bainimarama regime's unprecedanted accomplishments.
What a shame? Any wonder that critics are saying this gang is taking the country to the dogs!
Same old same old news. Dont you have some other news about Fiji. Who cares about ILO? Trade Unions in Fiji have destroyed Fiji. See what has Labour Party done to the country. They have been one of the reasons for the coups in Fiji.

Why Bainimara has to GO?
More than 1.5 billion tax dollars was allocated towards programmes targeting the alleviation of poverty between the years 2000 to 2008 however the result has not been positive.
According to the Poverty Monitoring Unit at the Prime Minister's Office, although millions of dollars were poured into these programmes, figures have shown that instead of eradicating poverty, the levels have grown since 2000.
The unit also said that statistics released by the Fiji Bureau of Statistics revealed after a recent Poverty Alleviation Impact Assessment in 2009 that 45 percent of the total population live in poverty.
This means that more than 300,000 people of the country either live below the poverty line or are right on the brink of poverty.
The figures released in 2010 also mean that there was a rise in numbers from the 32 percent recorded in 2007.
As the government gets ready to deliver the National Budget next Thursday, some of the current targeted measures are expected to be extended.
The current initiatives include programmes such as the bus fare subsidy, the food voucher scheme, the rural and outer islands programmes and other income generating projects.
More than 29,000 people are currently under the bus and taxi fare concession provided by Social Welfare Ministry.
According to Welfare statistics, 29,550 senior citizens and disabled persons are under this scheme.
On the other hand, a total of 21,000 people are under the Family Assistance and Food Voucher Programme being provided by ministry.
The ministry said any eligible person is entitled to receive a minimum of $60 a month or a maximum of $110 per month.
In addition to these assistance programmes, the ministry provides expanded food vouchers to 2,383 people above 70 years of age.
They are given $30 worth of food vouchers monthly.

UN ILO finding is significant. It has a bearing on the international marketing of Fiji products and branding. It reduces the value of Fiji products and the brand. The net effect of which is an erosion of Fiji's attractiveness as a business investment destination within the international global value chain.
In practical terms the Fair Trade certification which is obtaining Fiji products to the EU and specifically the UK better pricing on the supermarket shelves is put at risk and very likely will be suspended because to qualify for Fair Trade certification one needs to have their systems of labor (and the regulatory framemworks) compliant with the international bennchmarks set by institutions such as the ILO.
The USTR situation is the other one in that same vein.
The EU suspension of the DCI under Cotonou is another one
It may not appear spectacular but it is very effective.
This all contributes t the erosion of Fiji;s viability as an investment destination and there is no confrontation or subjectivity about it because its simply rules based.
There are conventins we are required to observe in order to be able to avail ourselves of those benefits attached thereto, but when we choose not to observe those conventions (for whatever reasons) we also forfeit our entitlements to those benefits. Its an objective process.
There is no grandstanding or flag waving.
Just civilised rules based protocols objectively and transparently applied
Bainimarama knows best said...
The Government has undertaken investigations into the allegations of physical assault, harassment and intimidation of trade union leaders and members. There's not a shred of truth to the allegations, as the ILO would know if they came here to see for themselves. But if they want to talk with the union leaders, then that shows they have preconceived ideas already.
They should meet with the Commander. He will tell them all they need to know.
He was right to send them away for wanting to meet with union leaders. If the Americans take away our preference and we lose 15,000 jobs in Fiji then let's just absorb the unemployed workers in the army and stop selling to the United States. Let them drink their OWN water!
Kavi said...
Bainimarama devalues the Fijian dollar, pushes everyone but himself and his accomplices into early retirement, cuts pensions in half, drives away investment, spurns offers of huge economic support just to avoid accountability, imposes price controls, exacerbates Fiji's brain drain, cuts our air link to Japan, puts his goons in charge of all the ministries, channels donations for flood control into his own slush fund, strips the courts of all integrity and due process, invites in Chinese organised crime, extorts FIJI Water then tries to divert its water source, beats up trade unionists, thumbs his nose at the West, causes the collapse of our sugar industry, forfeits our GSP preference, etc., etc., so is there any wonder why poverty is rapidly growing in the New Fiji?
Commodore, keep the bus concession and return us our jobs, our pensions, our rights and our country!
Go ahead and tell bainimarama to go if you have balls. Dont say anthying you cannot do yourself .might
Khusboo and Vijay Narayan
Magaichodo jutia,,,,,since 2006 inflation, unemployment etc etc has spiralled thus increasing poverty madachods!
ILO has been targeting FIJI since 2005. Why is there the urgency now? What happened to all the reports submitted to ILO? Any answers?
@ Bainimarama knows best...
Stop sucking on Bainimarama...he is taking Fiji to the dogs.. Go suck him and Khaiyum
Vutuki Meo said...
Thank you Kamlesh for letting us know that Bainimarama has caused 45% of the population to be in poverty.
I guess now you can add those 1,035people from Roads Transport Authority who will lose their jobs next wk.
What a Christmas present!
Nice Diwali present.
Also those ANZ Bank workers.
To all you Bainivuaka supporters , I hope you are all happy with what you are doing to this country.
You've farked it up well & proper.
Bainimarama is an idiot.
We can see the result of his stupid policies. Everytime he opens his mouth all we can here is garbage.
Promising the world but delivering poverty.
The only idiots worse than him are the ones supporting him. Including those dumbasses walking around with the guns.
Who is this person with the BANIMARAMA KNOWS BEST?????...please have a better look through your comments as it shows the lack of depth and stupidity you have similar to your role model Bainimarama....so what you trying to say that the ILO staff has to see Bainimarama and not the Union Leader?????how do you think that they can get a better opinion...defenitely not as Bainimarama will only sell his idea and not the voice of the Public...those union leaders are represenatatives of the common people that are struggling to put bread on top of there table?????/wake up and have a better look at yourself before you make any stupid comment that reflects yourself!
Komai said...
Another Taliban Said:
Type of fireworks sold to be reassessed
The type of fireworks being sold in Fiji will be reassessed next year.
Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Industry and Trade, Shaheen Ali said they will be taking a periodic review on the fireworks being sold to meet the best interest of the public.
There is an audio file attached to this story. Please login to listen.
Ali added that they did encounter the issue of some traders selling inappropriate crackers during the Diwali period and they were told to take those items off their shelves immediately.
Meanwhile the usage of fireworks was only permitted till yesterday.
Why do we have all this bloody Mullahs in high level civil service? There should be an fact finding mission by Elected Government, if and when we do have an election.
JAS said...
I take it that most of you who are commenting here live overseas...There is no such thing as poverty in Fiji. If you do consider yourself living in poverty here in Fiji then you are just plain Lazy...get off your asses and plant some dalo, Tavioka and Bele...you don't need to have roast chicken to survive....Everyone is living in comfort...you Fijians living overseas may be in poverty where ever you are...go complain to the government of your country...don't blame us for making you go there and living in poverty....
Populace in poverty
Nanise Loanakadavu
MORE than 50 per cent of the poor in Fiji reside in the three provinces of Ra, Cakaudrove and Macuata.
This was revealed by the Ministry for Social Welfare, Women and Poverty Alleviation permanent secretary Govind Sami.
He said a poverty survey by the ministry also revealed an overwhelming majority of the poor resided in Ba, the most populous province in Fiji with 83,579 people classified as poor living in this area.
Using statistics provided by the Fiji Bureau of Statistics, the report found that 43 per cent of people in rural areas were living in poverty.
This is a major difference from urban areas that had a much lower rate at 18 per cent.
Mr Sami said even within better-off divisions such as the Western or Central divisions, there were pockets of very high poverty incidence.
He said the highest poverty rates were found in the remote inland areas of Viti Levu.
Mr Sami said the ministry was looking at policy options such as Towards a Poverty Benefit, Old Age Social Pension (aligned to the National Ageing Policy) and Child Benefit (aligned to the Convention on the Rights of the Child) to be incorporated in their plans to combat poverty in Fiji.
He said the ministry was looking at reforms and other new policies to address the issue of rural poverty.
'Tip of the iceberg'
Samisoni Nabilivalu
ONE hundred and forty children were found with severe malnutrition last year, says Colonial War Memorial Hospital paediatric registrar Dr Raina Prasad.
Speaking at the Fiji Health Symposium in Suva on Tuesday, Dr Prasad said 250 children were expected to be diagnosed with severe malnutrition by the end of the year.
These are the children actually seen in Lautoka and Suva and the actual number could be much larger, she said.
Typically, the children show swelling of the limbs, distended stomaches and sagging skin. Statistics compiled by local paediatricians show malnutrition is greater in the Western Division with a particular increase in squatter settlements around major urban areas.
Dr Prasad said there were 17 recorded deaths caused by malnutrition last year and this figure was expected to rise this year.
Children are weaker and cannot fight off the disease as easily as older people," she said.
We need to mobilise teams to conduct community profiling the cases we are seeing are the tip of the iceberg. We dont know how many cases are out there.
Participants expressed shock at pictures presented at the symposium showing severely malnourished children.
Non-communicable diseases national adviser Dr Isimeli Tukana said his initial thoughts were that the pictures were that of children from Somalia.
He could not confirm the age distribution of those cases but confirmed the majority of the victims would be under the age of 13.
There is an abundance of food and death by malnutrition is unacceptable. Fiji is not facing a food shortage. This is malnutrition in the midst of food, Dr Tukana said.
We have so much food but parents do not know how to feed their children properly. Parents need to learn to feed their children with healthy food.
He said the stakeholder ministries needed to work together to develop a system that would put a halt to malnutrition.
2012 Trafficking in Persons Report - Fiji
FIJI (Tier 2)
Fiji is a source country for children subjected to internal sex trafficking and forced labor, and a destination country for foreign men and women subjected to forced labor and forced prostitution. Fiji's role as a regional transportation hub makes it a potential transit area for human trafficking. Victims in Fiji are allegedly exploited in illegal brothels, local hotels, private homes, and other rural and urban locations. Victims primarily are recruited in their home countries or deceptively recruited while visiting Fiji. Family members, other Fijian citizens, foreign tourists, and sailors on foreign fishing vessels have been alleged to participate in the prostitution of Fijian children. Fiji's liberal visa requirements allow many foreign nationals to travel to Fiji without first acquiring a valid visa. Some Fijian children are at risk of human trafficking if their families follow a traditional practice of sending them to live with relatives or families in larger cities or close proximity to schools. These children may be subjected to domestic servitude or may be coerced to engage in sexual activity in exchange for food, clothing, shelter, or school fees.
For giving our country the dubious distinction of getting listed in a UN ILO report as an abuser of workers' right and human rights all credit must go to Bainimarama. Will he be traveling to Geneva or Bruussles or wherever to receive an award for this distinquish accomplishment on behalf of the people of Fiji who he represents as their beloved dictator?
Tattifala
Complain as much as you like but people like you are only good at barking. Youi don't bite. As I said earlier, what have you done for the people of fiji. Don't spew tatti and say you did not do the coup. You supported you master MPC when he joined the govt.
Fiji does not need armxchair critics like you. So what if ILO has put fiji in their report. Nothing will happen as Aust, uk and USA are behind the process of having elections in 2014. In fact, aust in private have already said they will support who ever comes to power even if our new democracy is not perfect.
Most people in this blog are afraid that FB may win the election in 2014. LQ and MPC will be history. Most people below 25 will not know FLP except that its leader kept millions for the poor to himself.
For most poor people, the regime has done a lot for them. Off course anti regime people will cry till the cows come home that this is not true. But its their dream. SDL is full of retired fijians who are past their prime. FLP is split and its leader is a big chor and his son is waiting in the wings.
News Update. The private bilibili ( the dictator can't afford to buy a private jet with his loot) taking the dictator to the ILO to receive the award for turning the country into a noted human rights abusing regime has broken down. So the dictator will not be attending the award ceremony. He will instead attend another ceremony at home to receive another traditional apology from some village idiots.
@ Jas,
My sister is a nurse in Fiji, and for the first time in her 25 year working career, she asked me to send her money to pay off some bills. Go figure.
'I take it that most of you who are commenting here live overseas...There is no such thing as poverty in Fiji'.
It seems that some comments are from those living overseas, and some comments are from those living in denial.
@JAS asshole.Pull your head out of Vuaka's arse. That statistics of 45% of Fiji people living in poverty is provided by Bainimarama's govt.Bureau of Statistics.
We did not make it up.
You are either obviously blind or one of these pathetic pigs with his snout in the trough.Vutulaki.
Ratzman junior said...
To Jas if most of us commenting here live overseas than you must be either living in the moon or member of the FIji blind society.Or you must be a dumb ass stupid idiot who want to ignore the fact.Bele and Tavioka cost money and where do you think the money is coming from damb ass.Those people living overseas are not the same as us living and sweating our back side here.Most of the goverment overseas provide good social welfare for any one who does not have a job while you and me will eat shit if we do not have any job....dont blame us..us who?..no one blame anyone you idiot dumb ass...you cant provide anyone food why you have to be blame ....ulukau vavaku
@Ratzman Jnr
You don't need to BUY Dalo Tavioka and Bele ...YOU PLANT IT...(who's the dumbass now??)there is so much land here ....you dont need 10 or 15 acres to plant..all you need is a couple of square metres...That's the trouble when you live overseas you depend on the government for everything...you get lazy...Huh...Buy, dalo, tavioka and bele...paleeeez...come back home and learn to survive..and help Fiji get better...don't comment if you're not here to get Fiji up and running..
Here in Fiji if you don't work..you can still survive, even if the govt doesn't have "the dole"..overseas if you don't work..the govt has to give you money otherwise you die of starvation...you lose your survival instinct..you become lazy...
@ Vutuki Meo
You hate the regime, but you believe their statistics????...do you live in Fiji or overseas...come see for yourself, don't relax overseas and make noise..I've decided to stay here in Fiji and help make Fiji a better place....words in this square box of comments is not going to help...come here and do the hard work then talk...
@ November 16, 2012 11:45 PM
I have great respect for nurses and the hours and the compassion they put in to their work...Sometimes it's just how we manage what little money we have..the temptations of the modern world luxuries can sometimes make you yield to it...
the ILO finding on Fiji is very unfair to the Bainimarama dictatorship. It is not balanced. It fails to mention that one lot of workers - the fiji military mob, the gang with the guns- have rights over and above given to any class of workers in a democracy and lawful government. Now under the thug rule prevailing in Fiji this lot of workers are above the law,they have an open license to abuse other workers and their trade union representatives,they have an open licence to abuse ordinary citizens. Only in Fiji can the gang with the guns have such rights. We must recognise that. ILO must recognise that.
there were some big photos of donations comming for cyclone relief fund,any accounts for it or auditor general ,can we have your report full page photos of donors ,what was collected and how was it distributed
@ JAS
people don't pay any attention to this JASfala. He is obviously using his asshole to see things in fiji. that's why he is unable to see the poverty, the hardship and the suffering of the ordinary people.
I bet you my bottom dollar the fala is not into planting bele,dalo,tavioka for his living. He is living off the goodies given him by the military regime.
The fala is so dishonest people can feel the bad odour coming from him miles off!
One firecracker up the so re so re of the permanent secretary for firecrackers!
Malnutrition is indeed a big problem in Fiji. Even our beloved dictator is affected, as can be seen from his distended belly and swollen head.
Sire said...
Wrong. Most people on this blog are not afraid Bainimarama will win the elections in 2014. Most of us are afraid he will steal the elections or not have them at all.
@Tattifala
Haaaa...you obviously inherited your name accurately...Have I mentioned anything in support of this regime? The damage is done when it comes to politics. No amount of swearing and cussing and complaining will fix it...now it's repair mode..When a ship sinks, it is called a search and rescue..after a day or two, it's called search and recovery...it's not nice but it has to be done...Yes I do plant my own bele, rourou, tavioka..even though I can afford to buy it...I help disadvantaged kids, school dropouts, troubled kids get a life..Write their CV's and application letters, teach them a skill they can use..Oh and before you accuse me of taking money from them ...I don't...You have no idea...keep to your shallow life of name calling and complaining...
@ The HECKLER
Malnutrition is a problem only for the lazy people of Fiji. People in NAKORO don't have much money but are better nourished. You don't have to buy bele, tapioka, dalo, kapeji, ota, tubua, salala, kabatia, ura, sici, etc, etc... all we need is some little effort. No fijian should be malnourished...
@ TattiFalla...JAS is actually seeing things through the light of you tattihole. He is making a useful contrubition and not the tatti garbage you spewing.
@ Ratzman Junior...you must be a sub junior by grade. Sa kua so na vucesa. cakacaka vakaukauwa me rawa ni tawa kina na ketemu. Levu ga nomu complain. Sona
@JAS You cruel arsehole. Now you telling the 1035 staff of LTA that will be laid off this week to go plant Dalo Bele & Tavioka.
Do you even know what you are talking about?
Do you know how long it takes for the dalo to mature?
How are they going to feed their family in the meantime?
How much land does a family need in order to plant enough dalo to be self-sufficient?
Take a hint from me : You can't survive on a normal houseblock in Suva.
You need at least 5 acres.
Do those people in Suva have 5 acres each?
JAS your stupidity is unbelievable.
You don't even know what you are talking about.
Idiots like you get on your high horse and try and talk about Dalo , bele tavioka. You have no idea of the lifecycle of these plants.
You don't even know how many dalo plants it takes to feed a family.
There is 365 days in ayear. so smartarse how many dalos do they have to plant in order to survive?
How much land is needed for that.
Don't talk on subjects you don't understand asshole!
Big mouths like you should piss off and go and study your subject before you come and give advice in this forum.
Arseholes like you probably don't even know what a mataiva looks like.
@Vutuki Meo
Your comments show that you are not an intelligent person...any human being would "save for a rainy day" so to speak...I work and I earn money but I also TRY to save some money and at the same time plant food so when I find myself without a job I'm not stuck depending on anyone else...It's sad if people are laid off..yes but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world and you stay down and out...plenty of opportunities out there...if it means you leaving an office job and have to go cut cane ..so be it..at least it's something and you earning something..
Why would you start planting Dalo when you get laid off???
It should already be planted long time ago....
Do YOU know what you are even talking about??
I hope you learn some of these things to improve your shallow life style... ..Oh, and I do know what a mataiva looks like and feels like because I have callouses on my hand from using it quite often..One thing I know for sure you've only got calouses on your fingertips from tapping computer keyboards
It's not LTA...It's Fiji Roads Authority that getting laid off...and there's another company starting next year...Obviously they will get incorporated into that one since they have the experience..Plus they not getting laid off..their contract ends on the 31st December ...so it's not a surprise..they knew it..they signed contracts....Anything else you would like to moan and whine about??...now shut down your computer, go to a hardware store, buy a "mataiva" and go plant some bele and tavioka ..you're a useless excuse for a freedom fighter...
Anonymous 12:51, I take your point.
Bainimarama is just lazy and will be better nourished in Nakoro.
@ JAS and Anonymous
we heard all that kind of nonsense before after the 1987 military coup. fijian nationalist putting forward the notion that we did not have to worry about the macro-economy to ensure the country was in a stable and healthy economic state. all people had to do was to go back to planting tavioka!!
and that will allow everyone in Fiji to live happy ever after!!
that kind of "visionary" solution
to the problems of poverty and unemployment in Fiji can only come from people looking through "the light of the tattihole". They must be seeing a heck of a lot!!
So according to you,you "help disadvantaged kids,school dropouts, troubled kids get a life. write their cvs and application letters and teach them a skill they can use " and lo and behold all of fiji's structural problems of poverty and unemployment, health and housing, education and public utilities and infrastructure arising from the mismanagement, lack of transparency and accountability following the installation of a MILITARY DICTATORSHIP IN FIJI is solved!! You are such a simpleton I am amazed I even bother with a tattifala like you!
What I am saying is don't depend on the government for everything "right now"..be independent as much as you can..you'll find you wont get disturbed by the actions of politicians as much...I'm not the only one helping out disadvantaged kids and families...lot of people I know are doing it, it's the Fiji way. America didn't become the America it is today, overnight...they had some of the bloodiest civil wars. I'm not saying we need a civil war to make Fiji a better place...we are Fijians, we're not only fighters, but survivors..Fiji will be the same...it takes time...Maybe if you helped what little you can directly to the people who need help, it will go a long away instead of dumping your useless nagging, whining, negative comments and gutter trash in this column...try helping someone, it'll not only benefit them a lot, it will make you feel good to know that you have done something worthwhile in your life..
Should people in fiji also plant biscuits and soap?
Should they also keep a cow handy in the backyard to provide milk for the little ones?
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do.
Funny @JAS you helping these kids to write CV.
Where the fark are the jobs?
Your idea of resurrecting the Economy is for everyone to plant Dalo ,tavioka & bele.
No wonder this govt is farked, because people like you running it.
@JAS you say "..obviously the 1035 workers from RTA will get into the new company next year BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE"
This is another example of you mouthing off without even thinking about what you're writing!
The point is this : Since when did Bainimarama re-employ people because of EXPERIENCE?
His daughter taking up the post at Fiji Sports - No Experience
those given new jobs at FRU - No Experience. The results speak for themselves.
New posting to FHL - No experience = fail.
New boss at FSC = Fail
New boss at FNPF = Fail
New boss at Police = Fail
etc etc etc
Fail Fail Fail blah blah blah.
No Experience time and time again.
Next time please read and re-read your postings before you let it through.
Because all we can see from your postings is how stupid you are.
let me provide another more recent American example to jog your memory.
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said the same thing you are saying here : don't dependent on the government,get off your arses and get a job. 47% of Americans are too lazy to do things for themselves.
Where did these insults to the poor get him? He got a good thrashing in the presidential elections!
Your tatti is the same as romney's.
people won't stand for it.
400 residents - that will include children, the elderly and the sickly,and pregnant mothers - of Vaqia and Vunisamaloa in rural Ba "are complaining about disruptions to water supply, saying it was a daily problem" (Fiji Times 18/11).
complaining! how dare they! they should stop complaining and start making their own water . they should not be depending on the government for their water supply, right JAS?
@vutuki Meo and Tattifala
I think the two of you should change your names to Vutuki Tattifalla
You two seem to think that there is Totally NO JOBS here in Fiji and we are at Civil war or something...do you even look at the vacancy in the papers?? Overseas companies from the middle East to Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands right up to shipping companies in the North sea are recruiting Fjiians by the plane loads
We have a shortage of skilled people here in Fiji..hence your argument above about employing unskilled people into those posiitons...And for your dumbass information Vutuki Meo..yes CV's include any work whether farming, voluntary work, community work what ever you have done..Please don't tell me you don't know what a CV is??
If you think nagging in this square box is going to change the politics here in Fiji then you're in for a long fight...Come home and help with whatever skill you have..it'll go a long way and be very appreciated. The cost of going to school in USP and and FNU is outrageous ..there's plenty of jobs it's that there's no one with the skills to do it or train them to do it..there are alot of expats here in Fiji...because Fijians (I dont think you should be classed as Fijians any more..more like traitors who ran away and barking from a distance)with skills have run away...we want to bring Fiji up we have to be here...we cant do it from another country...come to Fiji and suffer with the rest of us then talk..
V for Vendetta said...
The people of Fiji should not plant dalo, tavioka, and bele, much less biscuits and soap.
We should plant Bainimarama and Khaiyum. Then you'll just be amazed at how the economy will grow.
@JAS
man if only all those silly and lazy people in Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal who are staging street protest against austerity measures in their countries could adopt the JAS "fiji model" - and just plant bele and tavioka and cheese - all their problems would be over in a jiffy!!
perhaps JAS should hire himself out as a consultant to advise these people on how to do it the fiji way! he could contribute as he has done in fiji to europe and the rest of the world.such a visionary man!
@tattifalla
Don't compare Europe to the Pacific...they're twp totally different places...That's why Fijians are special in our own way..we're humble people...you go and protest if you want...the way you all talking like you got ideas to solve problems here...All you got is criticism for everything...How can we fix the problems?? we want to hear positive ideas...fed up of hearing the same old shit Bainimarama, Kaiyum, la di da di da...it's stale...what can be done to help move Fiji Forward..ideas people, ideas...stop this bullsit of whining and moaning over spilt milk...what can YOU do...Nothing??? than shut up and dont say anything...
not only are they suffering with water cuts in BA...the water cuts are all over Fiji..right now I don't have any water coming out of my taps here in ..it comes on and off...That is because there is no one skilled enough to stay behind and manage the water authority..they're laying new pipes and trying to make it work but without skilled help we'll all just have to suffer like this...the trucks come around with water once in a while..it's all up to the people up there how they manage these things that will make it succesful or not..
# Tattifala
so you think Romney lost the elections he's poor?...He's living in comfort and got all the luxuries of life...it's the poor people he said to get off their asses and work that will remain poor and stay where they are....and with your menatlity you will remain like them..where you are...
an incurable idiot.
no point in trying to knock sense into you
you got too much tatti in your head
go and make your own water
don't depend on government
I mean the military dictatorship
they are too busy cutting hardwood deal with foreign company because big money in it - for them.
And their water supply is ok.
JAS Bhai water back yet? No. Ok I have an idea. Fiji can't afford to have productive people like you held up by water cut offs. now while you wait for the water to be back on why don't you soap yourself and do some self-cultivation and reflection on why you are in such a situation. but while entertaining yourself you must not think about frank or kaiyum because that would be political. and you are not a political person. just an idiot.
I'm glad I knocked some sense into you..no matter how much you try and deny it...I make more sense than you when it comes to the real world of living..yes the water is on again...thank you
kitana book tum paro kalas?

@JAS The people in Jittu Estate have no land around their house?
Since they don't have any land to plant bele what the hell are they going to do.
Your solution is so shortsighted,stupid and poorly thought through.
You seem to be avoiding at all cost the actual cause of all this problem ie the coup by Bainimarama.
It's like the proverbial elephant in the room.
They say that none is so blind as one that refuses to see. And that is you. Blind. Mataboko.
Doctors say that inorder to cure a person of his illness you have to treat the cause.
You know what the cause is and your cure is to call the people to plant bele.
That is like putting a bandaid on a hemorrhaghing wound.
Totally useless and totally stupid.
Let me put it plainly to you: Poverty has increased in Fij from 30% to 45% between 2006 to 2009.
That is due mainly to Bainimarama's actions.
IT IS NOT DUE TO PEOPLE NOT PLANTING BELE.
OK, So get that into your thick head.
It is therefore obvious that the solution is to get rid of Bainimarama, not GO and Plant Bele.

JAS, you want ideas on how to move Fiji forward, but you don't want to hear 'the same old shit' about Bainimarama and Khaiyum?!
Fiji is stooped by a millstone around its neck, but instead of taking it off, it seems that you only want to hear how we can roll it.
@tatifalla
Yes, I am smarter than you...no I don't understand Hindi ....Come home my brother...you'll be happier..
Good point, very true..BUT...Tell me something.... the majority that live in Jittu estate, are they Indo Fijians or Fijians?....They are Fijians who have another option...a village...where they can live a much more comfortable life, but why they chose to live in those conditions, I don't know...most of this so called poverty can be avoided if people stayed in their village or went back to their villages and not be falsely lured to the city with the promise of earning big money...big money can be earned from the village using the vast amount of land and sea that is available there..
I was in Totoya Island couple of years ago and a kid of about 12yrs old came rowing out. Withing half an hour he caught two nice sized kawakawa..he came onboard and and we started talking..I asked him about his family..he said only him and his big brother were in the village the father and mother was in Suva...he pointed to the hills and said that's all mine ..I planted that..I was very impressed and I asked an elder and the elderly man said "yes he did that all on his own"..he goes to primary school and he managed to farm at the same time...The sad thing was when he told me...I have to plant and sell it to support my mum and dad in Suva. I mean I was taken back by this little statement from an innocent 12 year old..I asked him "Do you want to go to suva?" he said , no, I'm happier here in the village, I have everything I need...I told him good boy, you are way happier here..
Everyone's yelling poverty, poverty and percentage this and that ..there is no poverty...theirs only a shortage of unskilled workers in the country..An accountant is not going to hire someone without the right qualifications..now days it's all about the paper...It's sad but true...
Scams like lolohea and company that lured thousands from the villages with the big promise of going to the middle east to earn big money..all these people left their villages, used village funds to pay for travel and passports only to be stranded in Suva with no money and no Middle East Job...
So how do you intend on getting rid of Bainimarama??
if you are as smart as you claim to be then not understanding Hindi should never be a problem in multiracial fiji. Jas go and ask a neighbour to help you understand idiot.
Vutuki Jas said...
Fiji Times : Assitant Commisioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu today revealed that Police have run out of stationery.
Police should do some lateral thinking.
Don't they know they too can plant bele around the Police Post and turn the bele leaves into paper.
O sobo. They should have been doing this a long time ago before they ran out of stationery.
How to get rid of Bainimarama?
How about we invite him fishing on your boat.
Then we use him as bait.
Sending people back to the village is another idealistic thought.
People leave their village in the first place for very good reasons.
If you don't understand what I just said in that sentence, then you don't understand Fijian culture and all its obligations.
It's the same reason why Indians and Fijians leave Fiji to go live overseas.
Anyway, it might help if you go back and look at the distribution of poverty as given by the Bureau of Statistics. There's more poverty in rural areas. Go figure!
I'm not trying to be antagonistic. I'm trying to show you that your view of the world is too simplistic. eg "O if only people could plant more bele there would be no poverty in Fiji"
It's not that simple JAS.
Governments are there for a reason. To help the people.
In this case the govt is abusing the people.
This government came in illegally; does not have the mandate of the people; is corrupt and is abusing the people and all that they have worked hard for.
AND THAT IS WHY THERE IS INCREASED POVERTY.
The solution is to get rid of Bainimarama. Not going back to the village to plant bele.
@vutukijas
Haaaa, hey, there's a good example...if the govt don't have money to buy stationery why depend on them for anything at all....you're only wasting your time and energy, use that time and energy for something useful that will benefit you, your family, your neighbors, community...maybe something like planting bele, tavioka, dalo so you don't starve to death waiting for the government to help you...
JAS, if an unskilled accountant shouldn't be hired without the right qualifications, then why are you so content to have a school drop-out traitor like Bainimarama as dictator?
You pretend to be so smart, so YOU tell us how to get rid of Bainimarama.
Tell him to plant bele?
@ Vutuki Jas
perhaps the police gang can hire Jas as a consultant to teach them the skills required in bele and tavioka production for paper making.
he could also help them tidy up their CVs while he is there.
@ Anonymous 11.34AM
you too right.
that Jas fala only pretends to be smart.
he is a shithead.
only a matter of time before he crawls back into some tattihole - his natural habitat!
There's plenty of spare money for some to build churches but then they plead poverty and have no money for food and schooling !
They then spend hours each day of the week listening to some ranting bible basher whilst their children are left alone, run amok and die at times. They then expect sympathy and handouts from others !
" Church committee member said it was one of the proudest moments for the whole village.
"We started building it way back in 1994 but financial constraints and hardship were faced along the way but we carried on regardless," he said.
He said the total cost of the new building was about $100,000.
Mr Gavidi said fundraising for the church was done annually in April and funds raised was used to buy raw materials ".
I didn't say anything about SENDING people back to their villages...I said If people feel they are living in poverty THEN they have an option to go back to their village where they will be happier...and to tell you the truth I feel much happier in all these islands and villages that I go to...it's peaceful, beautiful, the food is fresh and cooked outside with firewood..they have an endless supply of water....I can't understand why people like to make themselves suffer by living in the city when the comfort and Joy of a village is right there...Heaven on earth..
You're right...The solution is not to send people back to the village to plant bele...the solution is to attract investors into the country to create jobs and we're not going to be successful with that if we keep frightening them away...The damage is done...the coups etc...they (Rabuka, Bainimarama etc)will pay in their own way whether it be tomorrow or 20 years later...they will pay...it'll catch up to them
@ Anon November 19, 2012 11:34 AM
Who said I was a supporter of Bainimarama???..Who said I wanted to get rid of Bainimarama??...I live my own life, I'm not into politics and Politicians...no matter who or what government takes over, people will never be happy they will always want their own personal agenda's...
they talking about mahogany,,,how come only kai dia and kai valagi in the pic?
JAS, you're advising people to stop crticising Bainimarama. That makes you a supporter of his, whether you accept that or not.
Who said you wanted to get rid of Bainimarama? You asked Vutuki how he'd do it. I'm asking you how YOU'd do it.
Finally, if you think the village life is so idyllic, why don't you stop visiting them and actually go back to living in one?
Anonymous. November 20, 2012 7:40 AM
I didn't say to Stop criticising Bainimarama....You you can yelp and yell all you want but for what? Will it change anything??...NO...Waste of energy and time...use that energy and time to do something useful that will benefit you or your neighbour.

"Finally, if you think the village life is so idyllic, why don't you stop visiting them and actually go back to living in one?"
I wish I could but I am only one in a handful of people who do the job I do here in Fiji..
JAS, don't be so sure you're so indispensable. I'm sure plenty of other soldiers also give Frank rim jobs.

Q: MPI_Isend and MPI_Irecv are still blocking when used in a for loop I have been trying to write a cannon's implementation of the Matrix Multiplication. Using MPI CVT, I am sending a few buffers using MPI_Isend and MPI_Irecv. The program does not proceed during this send recv. I have tried using MPI_Waitall at different places but still, some of the processes stop responding. How do I fix this? Using MPI_Send and MPI_Recv gives the same error. However, without the initial shift, the cannon's algorithm loop works fine. It's just the initial shift that is having issues.

Governments around the world have close to $80 trillion in debt. As interest rates begin to rise globally we explore if governments around the world can really afford higher interest rates. We will write about the impact of rising interest rates on individuals/households and corporates/businesses later.
We recently wrote about Greece (Moody's Credit Rating: Caa2) paying lower interest on bonds than the US (Moody's Credit Rating: Aaa) here. Many governments have not run a surplus for years, they have simply been borrowing additional money every single year increasing their total debt. We will talk about several countries here but will specifically provide some numbers for the US and the UK. Both the US and the UK last ran a surplus in 2001.
The US government has around $20.5 trillion in debt and pays around $320 billion in interest payments a year (an effective interest rate of 1.56%). The US tax revenues are around $4 trillion (Federal revenue only – state revenues not included) a year, which would mean 8% of all tax revenues are paid as interest.
The UK government has around £1.7 trillion in debt and pays around £40 billion in interest payments a year (an effective interest rate of 2.35%). The UK tax revenues are around £750 billion a year, which would mean 5.33% of all tax revenues are paid as interest. The UK has paid £540 billion in interest since it last ran a surplus in 2001.
Both the UK and US are unlikely to run surpluses any time soon. The UK government has projected to balance its books and generate a surplus in 2025. That surplus target year has changed several times and going by past precedence it should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Now, on the impact of rising interest rates and bond yields. A lot of government borrowing is long term (10 and 30 year bonds being the most popular) so the impact of rising bond yields won't be felt immediately. On an average, around 7% of the total debt is rolled over for both the US and UK every year plus new borrowing is made. A 1% (100 basis points) rise in yields would increase the total interest cost on existing borrowings by 4.8% for the US and by 5.1% for the UK in the first year. Those numbers would be compounded in subsequent years.
The impact would be much lesser on emerging economies like Brazil and India because they already have a high effective interest rate. A 1% (100 basis points) increase is unlikely to make much of an impact. The impact on countries with zero or negative interest rates (we covered here) would be very significant.
We do not expect Japan to increase interest rates nor do we think bond yields for Japan are likely to rise mainly because most debt is held within Japan rather than overseas. Japan already spends a large proportion of its tax revenues as interest. Japan also has the largest government debt to GDP ratio in excess of 250%.
The Eurozone is a different story. The weaker Eurozone economies (Greece, Italy and Portugal) simply have a high debt to GDP ratio and higher interest payments as part of tax revenues. These countries have experienced ultra low bond yields recently with Greece bond yields hitting a 12 year low. Any increase in interest rates will have a major impact on these countries.

Because he believed that the Huguenots should have the same legal status as Catholics.
Question 26 26. How did Richelieu's absolutist beliefs impact his stance towards the Huguenots?
As an absolutist, Richelieu believed in the ultimate power of the local governing agents and thus perceived the Huguenots as a threat to the country because of their unquestionable support for the king.
Richelieu believed that France needed a progressive Catholic leader and was thus repulsed by what he perceived to be ignorant and outdated Huguenot (Calvinist) ideas.
As an absolutist, Richelieu believed in the ultimate power of the king. Richelieu initially tolerated the Huguenots, but when they revolted against the king Richelieu despised them.
As an absolutist, Richelieu believed in the constitutional power of the monarchy and thus always treated all citizens, including Huguenots, the same.

It allowed them to have the same legal status as Catholics.
Question 30 30. What was the name of the peace treaty that ended the Long War of 1593-1606 CE?

Dans l'Histoire russe, l'Interrègne désigne la période de trois ans qui s'écoule entre la chute de Vassili IV Chouiski, en juillet 1610, et l'avènement de Michel III Romanov, le . Cette phase est la dernière partie du Temps des troubles.

Les faits
Lors de la déposition de Vassili IV, en juillet 1610, le pouvoir est confié à la Douma des boyards qui se compose alors de sept membres. Les boyards tenteront d'effectuer une révolution conservatrice afin de restaurer l'autocratie. À partir de 1611, le gouvernement est confié à un triumvirat composé de Liapounov, Troubetskoï et Zarucki.

Ayant prêté serment aux boyards, les moscovites les chargent de réunir les représentants de la terre russe afin d'élire un nouveau tsar ; nul ne répondant aux invitations envoyées dans les diverses cités, la Douma, conduite par le prince Fiodor Miloslavski, convoque un zemski sobor qui, le , choisit pour tsar le fils du roi Sigismond III Vasa de Pologne, Ladislas de Pologne.

Sigismond refuse cependant d'autoriser son fils à ceindre la couronne de Russie, ambitionnant d'annexer les terres moscovites au royaume polonais. Outre l'illégitimité de la décision prise par le Sobor, le patriarche orthodoxe Hermogène pousse la population à refuser d'accueillir un souverain catholique.

Les Suédois en profitent pour envahir la Russie. En 1610, ils occupent Novgorod et ordonnent aux habitants de former un État indépendant dont le tsar serait Charles-Philippe, duc de Södermanland et frère cadet du roi Gustave II Adolphe. Ce projet ne vit pas le jour car les Russes reprirent immédiatement la ville.

À Moscou, le pouvoir est détenu par le général polonais Alexandre Gonciewski, qui se conduit en pays conquis, déclenchant de nombreuses émeutes (Moscou est incendié par ses habitants le ). En 1611, il fait arrêter Hermogène, qui meurt en prison le .

Un sursaut national agite alors la Russie et les milices populaires se soulèvent contre les troupes polonaises. En octobre 1612, les Polonais, affamés, quittent Moscou.

En janvier 1613, un nouveau Sobor est réuni afin d'élire un nouveau souverain ; après l'éviction des candidatures de Ladislas Wasa, de Sigismond III et du prince Philippe de Suède, plusieurs autres candidatures sont évoquées, dont celle du prince Mstislavski. Mais le , le Sobor élit Michel Romanov, jeune fils du patriarche Philarète, résidant au monastère Ipatiev ; il est proclamé tsar le  suivant.

The skull fountain was tricky. I decided to use a toothpick to hold it all together, allow it to stick out the top, inked red, and then used white glue for gloppy flow, as if it is a blood spout!

Should Triathletes Swim Front Quadrant Freestyle?
There's one similarity that both you and the fastest swimmers in the world share.
A common factor that you, an Age Group Triathlete and the greatest Olympians have to deal with… Want to know what it is?
The speed and efficiency of your freestyle stroke is directly related to the length of your body.
The longer or taller you can make your body the better you will move through the water. Think of your body like a boat; long, narrow yachts move quicker than short wide barges. Right?
Let's think about that for a minute… Who would win in a race, the yacht or the barge?
If the barge captain fires all his engines. Burns every bit of fuel he's got, and gets a head start he might have a shot at beating the yacht. At least over a short distance. But if he's using that much energy to generate speed, it's not going to last long. Sooner or later the yacht's efficiency will win.
Now ask yourself; when you hit the water in your next race, would you rather be a barge or a yacht?
The length of your body through the water plays a significant role in your speed and efficiency.
So how do we use this idea to help you swim faster for longer and still have the reserves to smash the bike and run?
Swimming with good posture is your first priority.
Just like your middle school teacher used to harp on, posture is important. Standing with good posture vs slouching is better for your health and your appearance! As it does on land, lengthening your torso and straightening your back will make you taller in the water.
And once you have good posture?
You can cheat by including your arms! Make yourself taller in the water by lengthening the time your arms spend extended out in front of you.
But if I raise my hands up above my head I add an extra 70cm+ to my total height.
If you add the length of your arms above your head you're a longer, taller body moving through the water.
If your arms are not extended out in front of you, you are only as long or tall as your hight. So the longer you keep an arm extended above you as you swim the taller you are.
If you've been to a swim lesson or spent any time on YouTube no doubt you're familiar with this drill. It is used to help teach you extend out in front.
To swim Catch Up Drill, you must wait for the recovering hand to touch the extended hand. Only once they touch can you pull through for your next stroke.
Touching your hand on every stroke gives you a physical cue telling your hand when to start the next stroke. This makes it easy to learn how to keep the arm extended out in front as well as the timing of when to pull through. Just wait until your hands touch!
While the drill teaches you to stay extended (which is what we want) it's not a great way to swim freestyle. Why?
Because the wait disrupts the continuity of your stroke. It halts forward momentum.
While your lead arm waits for the recovering arm to enter and touch you STOP moving forward. This means you have to re-generate your speed from scratch with every pull.
You end up moving-stopping-moving-stopping-moving… Not economical at all.
It's like city driving gas consumption in your car vs highway consumption. The stop-start driving in the city results in higher fuel consumption than continuous driving on the highway. Similarly the stop-start movement of catch up drill results in higher energy consumption.
This higher fuel consumption may come back to haunt you later in your race.
You may have better length length in your stroke by swimming with a catch up style. But if you have to re-generate your speed from scratch with every stroke you'll be burning too much energy. It's going to hurt more than it helps.
This is why I do not use Catch Up Drill unless we're in extreme circumstances!
So How Do You Achieve That Long Stroke?
Front Quadrant Freestyle takes the benefits of the Catch Up Drill without killing your momentum.
To swim Front Quadrant Freestyle; wait until the recovering arm has passed the line of your head before you start your pull.
You could say that Front Quadrant Freestyle is 3/4 Catch Up Stroke. Instead of waiting for your hands to touch before you pull back, you start when the recovering arm has just passed your head.
If filmed from above we want to see one hand/arm extended out in front of your head at any time in the stroke cycle. You must make sure the lead arm stays extended out front during the recovery of the other arm.
Notice how the lead arm disappears past the head before the recovering arm enters the water. This shortens the length of your body through the water and will slow you down.
In the pool, you have the opportunity to be patient with that lead arm. You can keep it extended and ride your line as long as it doesn't kill your momentum.
In rough open water, the length of time you leave that arm extended out is potentially shorter.
Turnover is generally higher in rough water so you're not going to have the same length to your stroke. You will spend less time in the extended position and pull through into your catch a little earlier.
With the types of distances you will be swimming, you should always have an element of Front Quadrant Freestyle in your stroke. Regardless of the situation (distance/speed/conditions) you always want some part of one hand or arm extended out in front of your head at all times in the stroke.
It may not be the full arm, but some part of it should be stretched out to make you longer.
If it's not you're shortening your length slowing yourself down and risking shoulder injuries.
To help you conceptualize what I'm talking about, here is an exaggerated example of Front Quadrant Freestyle.
For demonstration purposes, it's swum very slowly to help you pick up on exactly how I get more length.
This is not the speed at which I would train or race. But it does give you a good idea of how you can lengthen your body for better efficiency!

Dick Cheney Beats War Drums, Accuses Obama Of 'Facilitating' Muslim Brotherhood
Darth went the whole hog, and will follow it up with his shadow president act at AEI ahead of President Obama's speech.
By Karoli Kuns — September 10, 2014
Yesterday Dick Cheney went for the whole lying, fat-laced hog during his meetup with House Republicans. He didn't just beat the drums for war, he turned up the volume and strapped on a mic in anticipation of his appearance at the Koch-operated American Enterprise Institute today.
Invoking all of his favorite fear zombies, Cheney put out a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood.
According to Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana, Cheney said Obama "has actually done things that have supported the Muslim Brotherhood." The former vice president then went on to name the Muslim Brotherhood as "the beginning of all the Islamist groups that we're dealing with now like Hamas and ISIS."
In Fleming's account, Cheney said that by "facilitating the Muslim Brotherhood…our policies have been exactly opposite to where they should be."
Fleming's description of the meeting was echoed by Rep. Peter King of New York, who said that while Cheney didn't criticize "the Rand Paul types" in the GOP—a group that King often derides—he did call for "comprehensive" action that is even more aggressive than what Obama has in mind.
F*ck Dick Cheney with a hot poker. He's a fearmongering criminal who wears the blood of 4,000 American soldiers and thousands of Iraqi civilians on his head.
House Republicans practically fell all over themselves praising the war criminal for his "strong words." Huffington Post:
"It was a great message, something we needed to hear, and hopefully it sticks with a lot of my colleagues who've kind of had this creep towards isolationalism in the Congress lately," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), an Iraq veteran. "Hopefully this is an awakening that we have to be very strong and very serious."
Reichert added that Cheney -- who in 2003 erroneously linked Iraq to the 9/11 attacks despite the lack of evidence -- did so again in his pitch Tuesday.
"He mentioned the 9/11 attack was accomplished by people who came to this country with airplane tickets and box cutters and killed over 3,000 people," Reichert said. "What he said is that as ISIS and other terrorist groups -- the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, al Qaeda, etc. -- gain strength and no action is taken or perceived weaknesses are seen, there's a greater chance America could be attacked again, and this time it won't be box cutters and airplane tickets."
I loved this bit of nonsense:
A number of the lawmakers said neither they nor the public want to look back at the mistakes of the past.
"This is a complex issue. I don't want to relitigate the past -- why we went in in the first place, the president's decision in 2011 to withdraw every last troop," said Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.). "At this point, I think we have to look forward not backward."
Of course he doesn't want to relitigate the past, because if he did, he'd have to admit with a great deal of shame that the very reason we're having to deal with these bloody extremists today is because of our actions in that region for the past 20 years, starting with Saint Effing Ronnie.
The fact that Darth is out there pumping more fear about the Muslim Brotherhood is evidence he still has no clue about the region and the issues there.
Because for Cheney, it's all about the oil and it always has been.

D.A. Confidential has a great interview with an Austin Fire Department Fire and Arson Investigator, which includes a pretty detailed explanation of how a typical arson investigation is conducted and a discussion of telltale signs that an accelerant may have been used.
Via an old Grits for Breakfast post, I came across this Scientific American article about Touch DNA that I want to preserve.
According to the article, this method of testing can detect the slightest bit of genetic material and was used to clear Jon Benet Ramsey's family of any involvement in her death. Those poor, poor people. Can you imagine being put through all of that after your child is brutally murdered?
DNA traces of an unknown eastern-European woman had been found at almost 17 crime scenes, including two murders (including a 22 year old police officer) but also car jackings, unprofessional break-ins and on a bullet fired in a marital dispute. The crimes where spread around a large area including south-west Germany, France and Switzerland.
It now turns out that the several-hundred-men task force might have really been chasing a phantom. Alarmed by the apparent randomness of the crimes, involving both highly professional work and seemingly amateur break-ins, they started checking for contaminations in the labwork. The likeliest suspect now are the cotton swabs used to collect evidence at the crime scene. All the swabs used in the forensics works were sourced from the same supplier, a company in northern Germany that employs several eastern-European women that would fit the profile. Even more inciminating, the state of Bavaria lies right in the center of the crimes' locations, without ever finding matching DNA in crimes on its territory. Guess what: they get their cotton swabs from a different supplier.
While the suspicion had already been growing in the last few months, the smoking gun apparently was a case where they tried to match a burned (male) corpse to DNA collected from fingerprint samples an asylum-seeker had given a few months earlier. The first test showed a match between those fingerprints and the Phantom's DNA while a second test did not.
By the way: contaminated cotton swabs aren"t as trivial to avoid as one might think. It's relatively easy to sterilize cotton to prevent infections. Forensics however require a complete destruction or removal of any DNA contamination, which is apparently a lot harder.

Sen. Coons: Kavanaugh Testimony 'Deeply Troubling' in Number of Ways
There were a "number of ways" Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week was "deeply troubling," including his reluctance to disagree with a congressional or presidential order banning people coming into the United States based on their race, Sen. Chris Coons, a committee member, said Monday.
"This was one exchange," the Delaware Democrat told MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "Another was an exchange that I had with him about presidential power."
Kavanaugh, he continued, has written "repeatedly" that he thinks a president should be able to fire a special counsel who is investigating him.
"This is directly relevant," said Coons, noting that when asked, the one case Kavanaugh would like to "put the nail in the coffin" of is Morrison vs. Olson, which has to do with presidential power.
"He clammed up and really would not answer that question in front of our panel," said Coons. However, he said he would not answer a question concerning a ruling from the 1800s that had allowed Chinese immigrants to be banned.
"The fact he wasn't willing to offer that was deeply puzzling to me," said Coons. "It may reveal a willingness to allow presidential power, a scope and a reach that would be chilling to many of us in terms of the Immigration space."

Cappella Colleoni was built between 1472-1476 as a family burial chapel of Bartolomeo Colleoni, a famous and wealthy captain-general of the republic of Venice. In order to build the chapel, a 12th century apse and the sacristy of Santa Maria Maggiore had to be demolished by his soldiers. Sculptor-architect Giovanni Antonio Amadeo was commissioned with the task of planning a building that is on one hand suitable for religious usage and respects the style of the church, but on the other hand is a landmark of the entire city.
Facade of the chapel is adorned with a polychrome marble decoration in white, red and black. Above the entrance is a rose window, flanked by two medallions portraying Julius Caesar and Trajan.
Inside the most striking monument is of course the enormous tomb of Bartolomeo Colleoni facing the entrance. Both sarcophagi of the tomb are decorated with reliefs of Episodes from the Life of Christ, providing an evidence of the extraordinary plastic capacities of Giovanni Antonio Amadeo. A gilded wood equestrian statue of the general is to be seen above the second sarcophagus. It is a work of two German sculptors, Sisto and Siry from Nuremberg in 1501. Since this chapel served as a family burial place, Medea, the favorite daughter of Colleoni was also buried here. Her tomb on the left wall was personally executed by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo.
In the dome there are splendid frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo (1732-1733) illustrating virtues and episodes from the life of St. John the Baptist (John, the Baptist preaching, the Beheading of John the Baptist etc.).
The small presbytery has a high altar sculpted by Bartolomeo Manni in 1676 with statues of the three saints to whom the chapel is dedicated, John, Mark and Bartholomew, by Pietro Lombardo. The altar table, to a design by Leopoldo Pollack, is supported by angels carved by Grazioso Rusca. There are two paintings by Giambattista Tiepolo in the lunettes of the presbytery: Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew and St. Mark the Evangelist.
During high season (April to October) it is open from Tuesday to Sunday 9am-12.30pm and 2-6.30pm. During low season it closes earlier at 4.30pm.

Build prototypes often and test them out, gather feedback and experiment. Don't punish yourself for failure, learn from it and try again.
The environment that we surround ourselves in can majorly affect how we feel. Creativity usually comes to those who are relaxed, which is why a lot of ideas seem to appear when you least expect it. Many great-thinkers go on long walks or even having a quick shower can change your scenery and help creativity flow.
Many innovators keep a journal or sketch book to note down thoughts, inspiration and ideas, even if they are small. It may lead to something bigger in future when you're flicking back through the pages. Leonardo Da Vinci's famous notebook was purchased by Bill Gates for $30.8 Million dollars.
Ideas often grow from other ideas, for example, Edison wasn't the first person to come up with the idea for the lightbulb. He was first to build the carbon filament inside the glass bulb, which made the bulb last longer. Finding patterns with your own ideas or existing ideas can improve your own solutions.
Being inquisitive is a great trait to have, it can help you to find alternative ways to do things which may be better than the original way. Practise seeing things differently and stay curious, it will help with your innovation.
