Okinawa Defense Bureau asks prefectural government to relocate hermit crabs in preparation for Henoko construction
October 16, 2015 Ryukyu Shimpo
On October 15, it was discovered that the Okinawa Defense Bureau sent a request to the Okinawa Prefectural Board of Education asking for permission to capture and relocate Coenobita hermit crabs, designated a natural monument by the national government, in advance of starting construction of a new U.S. military base in Henoko. Under the Cultural Properties Protection Law, the board of education is obligated to compile a written opinion and send it along with the necessary documents to the head of the Agency of Cultural Affairs, who will make the final decision. The cultural property division of the prefectural education bureau is currently preparing the documents.
According to the cultural property division, the Defense Bureau submitted the request on September 14. After the board of education requested submission of maps and other necessary documents that had been missing, all the necessary documents were submitted in early October. Members of the board of education received notice on October 15. The next board meeting will be held on October 22. Satoaki Moromi, head of the Education Agency, said that the board will take into account all relevant circumstances and opinions from the board members when moving forward.
The Cultural Properties Protection Law stipulates that when a government agency plans a project that will impact the conservation of a designated national monument, permission must be granted by the head of the Agency of Cultural Affairs after the issue is reviewed by the local board of education. The board of education will discuss the issue, consult with experts, and then compose a written statement of opinion to be sent to the Agency of Cultural Affairs.
The Defense Bureau has explained that they aim to ensure the conservation of individual hermit crabs by relocating them to shoreline areas where they can thrive. This plan is based on the former governor's written statement on the environmental impact assessment of the Henoko land reclamation and base construction. When the former governor authorized the Henoko land reclamation, he ordered the establishment of an environmental surveillance committee. The committee was asked to provide an opinion on measures to conserve land and sea animals, including Coenobita hermit crabs, at their meeting in June.
According to environmental conservation documents submitted to the former governor by the Defense Bureau along with their request for authorization to reclaim land in a public body of water, 1,189 breeding Coenobita hermit crabs were found in a 2008 survey of the area where the Futenma replacement facility and construction yard are to be built.

World Beijing Appeals to U.S. for Fairness Under Investment Law
Beijing Appeals to U.S. for Fairness Under Investment Law
Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at 2:56 pm | ג' אלול תשע"ח
BEIJING (AP) -

China appealed to Washington on Tuesday not to misuse security concerns to hamper business activity after President Donald Trump signed a law that expands the jurisdiction of an investment review panel.
The law signed Monday by President Trump expands the authority of a government security panel to scrutinize foreign investments. It was prompted by complaints Chinese companies were taking advantage of gaps in U.S. law and improperly obtaining technology and possibly sensitive information.
"The United States should treat Chinese investors objectively and fairly and avoid making a national security review an obstacle to Chinese-U.S. enterprises' investment cooperation," said a Commerce Ministry statement.
Other governments including Germany and Britain also are uneasy about rising Chinese investment, the communist Beijing government's behind-the-scenes role and acquisitions of technology that might have military uses or is seen as an important economic asset.
The U.S. security panel, known as CFIUS, reviews foreign acquisitions of American assets for possible security threats. Critics say legislation governing its powers, last updated a decade ago, was antiquated and failed to take into account tactics used by some Chinese companies.
The legislation signed by Mr. Trump expands CFIUS jurisdiction to cover entities that might own a minority stake in a company that makes a purchase. It also gives CFIUS authority to prevent loss of sensitive personal information.
The legislation also gives CFIUS authority to initiate its own investigations instead of waiting for a buyer to seek approval.
Lawmakers who proposed the legislation last year expressed concern that Chinese companies were using joint ventures with foreign companies or minority stakes in ventures to gain access to sensitive technology.
Last month, a proposed Chinese purchase of a German power company was blocked when a state-owned utility bought the company instead. German news reports said Berlin also planned to block a Chinese acquisition of an engineering company but authorities said later that bid was withdrawn.
Also last month, Britain's government announced a proposal to expand its powers to block foreign acquisitions that pose security concerns. It would apply to deals in which a foreign buyer acquires as little as 25 percent of a company.
Germany and other governments also complain their companies are barred from buying most Chinese assets at a time when China's companies are in the midst of a multibillion-dollar global acquisition spree.

The BabeWatch one-piece is iconic.
It's perfect for golden sandy beaches.
Ideally, you will have golden tanned legs.
And enjoy running along the beach while being filmed in s-l-o-w motion to an epic soundtrack.
Not all the above is absolutely necessary of course.
The only thing that is necessary is that you want to look good on the beach and maybe have a secret poster of the Hoff on your bedroom wall!
This Babewatch 802 One Piece Bikini is made of a high quality Italian nylon lycra.


ok here we go! let's get bundled up. first mental and physical hurdle - buttoning 27 snaps on baby's full-body suit. oops! stop rolling over, please, while I try to button you up. oh no! don't cry! I'll do anything. I'll sing Wheels On The Bus at top speed!
wow. how am I winded from wheels on the bus?
onward. time to strap baby into the moby wrap and also, please stop licking my scarf, kid. excellent, you spit your pacifier onto the floor. lemme just bend over with you attached to me and pick that up (out of breath again?) mmmmmk a quick rinse in the sink and voilà. exhale.
crap. I forgot to lay out my hat and gloves on a high surface before wearing the baby. now I have to bend over with her again. and…got it. add the coat, grab a doggie bag, grab the leash, bend over AGAIN to put on the leash. FOR PETE'S SAKE I forgot to put my boots on first. ugh winter boots are so ugly. I can't wait to wear flip flops again. wahhhhh summer.
NO. positive attitude. you decide your mood. you are grateful for the opportunity to wear winter boots?
alright. double check cell phone keys doggy bag dog baby. check check check check check. deep breath, open door.
SON OF A NUTCRACKER it's cold out here. and…yup there it is, the frozen snot and I CAN'T FEEL MY FACE.
think of something positive, anything positive. oh! yes. the cold reminds me that I'm alive. that blast of icy daggers on my skin is a challenge to conquer!
oh! I did not anticipate the hidden ice under the snow on the sidewalk. if I could just step carefully around these patches…screw it I'll just walk on the snow. Pablo! stop pulling on the leash! it's too slippery! poor guy hasn't seen the great outdoors in days. CURSE YOU MINNESOTA.
whew. this baby is getting heavy. it was a lot easier to walk these hills when she was like 10 pounds. but we're doing it! and it's not really so bad out here. psh. windchill of -15. please. child's play. winter can't stop us. we're invincible! we're- BLASTED WRETCH! that wind is swift and painful. a mighty warrior.
maybe we'll just walk to the corner and back. at least the dog got to see the outdoors for more than 20 seconds. he probably hates it as much as I do. I'm sure of it. he probably wants to be snuggled on the couch with hot cocoa - that's probably me, though. but probably his paws are cold. really, it's probably dangerous for us to be out here.
yeah. it's super dangerous. why didn't I think of that before? I'm really just putting the baby and the dog first. we should all just be inside forever and always. even if we are vampires who don't see the light of day because those walking on the sidewalk could peer into our windows and case the joint and come back to steal our things and maybe us, and we have plastic covering the windows now anyway.
why don't we live in one of those states that shuts everything down the minute a snowflake appears? despair. actually, while I'm imagining, why don't we live in a state that doesn't get snowflakes? now we're talking.
and we're back. ok, mental psych-up to take off my glove and get the key out of my jacket pocket. ready? 1, 2, - wait am I going on 3 or after 3? doesn't matter? ok, let's try again. ready, set, go! *theme song from Disney's Hercules running through my head* sweet damn that's a cold doorknob.
arg! that pain in your hands and ears when you come back inside from the cold! and…undo process. strip off hats and gloves, jacket off, undo moby wrap, unleash dog, kick off soggy boots, and…scene.
sweet. it took us 30 minutes to get ready for a 7 minute walk. I probably won't go outside again until spring.


Originally from Birmingham, Tanya studied in Cambridge, London and Paris before embarking on a freelance career based in the UK and Ireland. A harpist, singer, musical director, teacher and examiner she enjoys a diverse schedule with an unending variety of engagements and experiences.
With her harp she enjoys playing for a wide range of ensembles from symphony orchestras to chamber groups, and accompanying soloists and choirs. She has developed a specialism in playing as an accompanist for singers and choirs and in 2013 made her Wigmore Hall debut accompanying Nicholas Mulroy in Britten's Canticle V as part of the celebratory concert on Britten's 100th birthday. She is lucky to have worked personally with choral composers and conductors including John Rutter, Bob Chilcott, David Hill and Graham Ross. Recently she has enjoyed collaborations with the BBC Singers, in programmes of Britten and Chilcott and in their Bernstein Total Immersion series, broadcast on BBC Radio 3. She appeared live on Radio 3's 'In tune' programme accompanying Clare College Choir, with whom she has released a gramophone-nominated CD "Imogen Holst - Choral works" for Harmonia Mundi. Another recording "A rose in the middle of winter" - a CD of choral music by Bob Chilcott featuring harp accompaniment - reached the top of the classical charts.
Her recent orchestral harp work includes appearances with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Northern Ballet and both RTE orchestras in Dublin. She performed regularly as principal harpist for English Touring Opera, and appeared in the Longborough Opera Ring Cycle project. She has had the privilege of working with conductors including Sir Simon Rattle, Sir Mark Elder, Sir Roger Norrington, Vladimir Jurowski and Edward Gardner. She was delighted to perform with a chamber version of the OAE on tour under the direction of violinist Richard Tognetti and with King's College Cambridge under Stephen Cleobury for their Durufle Requiem recording. Last year she was delighted to accompany Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway in a new arrangement of "The Lord is my shepherd" for 2 flutes and harp on BBC Songs of Praise.
As a singer and conductor, she directs and sings in Melisma, the Belfast-based 8 voice choir, appearing regularly on Radio Ulster and in concert across Northern Ireland. Melisma also recorded the backing vocals to The Priests' album "Alleluia" under her direction and have featured on Songs of Praise. She is an alto lay clerk at St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast where she sings regular services throughout the week and on Sundays. Her conducting skills have been increasingly in demand with the Belfast Bach Consort in their monthly Cantata series, including recent performances of "Ein feste Burg" for the anniversary of the Reformation.
Qualified as a music teacher both in the classroom and for instrumental lessons, she has a growing private teaching practice in Helen's Bay, Northern Ireland. She teaches all ages and abilities, with current pupils studying both pedal and lever harp, piano, theory and music history. She is a keen participant in orchestral education and outreach projects, and has enjoyed a close relationship with Aurora Orchestra's Learning and Participation department. With flautist Jane Mitchell she worked for Live Music Now!, giving concerts across a huge range of community venues.
Tanya works as an examiner for the ABRSM, has been external examiner at the Royal Northern College of Music and Birmingham Conservatoire and was, for five years, the editor of harp, the magazine of the UK Harp Association. She is also increasingly in demand as an adjudicator, having appeared recently in the Bromley, Reigate & Redhill and Bristol Festival harp classes.

This was probably a fine book when it was first written in the early 1980s, but it's been badly (cheaply?) updated since. It's now almost incoherent -- certainly not up to the standard set by some of the (excellent) other books in this series (Corvette, Mercedes, Ferrari). Needs a cover-to-cover rewrite, done by someone knowledgable. Don't waste your money until it happens.
DarK-LiGht
I tend to agree with other reviewer about this book needing to be completely rewritten. Even though it was revised in 1994, the author still makes references to things occuring in 1987 "at current press time." Clearly, the original text wasn't revised. If the book was revised in 1994, these type of references should has been eliminated. Other than the text being out of date, the book itself has a lot of worthwhile information. The author rates the collectability (if that's a word) of each of the cars using a five star system.

James Conlee: Sideline to support staff
February 23, 2017 October 31, 2017 PRO media AR coaches, James Conlee, support staff, Training
It's nearly time. Players have undergone preseason conditioning, acquainting themselves with their teammates, working their way up to match fitness ready for kickoff.
Fans are buying their tickets for the first few games and purchasing their jerseys ready to show their colors when that kickoff comes around.
And PRO's officials have been busy preparing, too, both physically and mentally, ready for the next 10 months of soccer.
But one man will be watching on from the stadium seats in 2017, offering his guidance to those running the line flag in hand. James Conlee took the decision to retire at the end of last season but was given the opportunity to remain with PRO as part of Greg Barkey's team of assistant referee coaches.
Firstly, what was the reason behind your retirement and how pleased are you to be staying involved with PRO?
For the last year I've been having some pain in my hip. I was still performing relatively well in the games, but not as great as I had previously. That had started weighing on me and it planted the seed that my body was perhaps telling me it was time to hang up my boots.
I spoke to Greg Barkey [PRO's Manager of Assistant Referees] during last year and said that I thought it could be my last season. We started a conversation about me shifting over to the AR coaches and I'm thrilled to have been invited into the team. There's a lot of experience, some great guys, and they've slotted me into the mix straight away.
The Organization is a fraternity, like a family, so I'm definitely pleased to still be involved. I hope that I can be a positive contributor to the program and in the development of the assistant referees. It's a change but I have no regrets, I'm happy with the way I decided to go down this path.
One of your first acts as an assistant referee coach was helping to oversee the fitness tests in January, how was that?
It felt very different. I'm used to attending January's camp and being nervous about doing the physical test. I didn't have those nerves, but a different kind of nerves.
I was excited, but definitely had mixed emotions. Watching the guys out there doing the tests, I can remember having that elated feeling when I passed – it's a great feeling – and that was when I felt it a little bit. But I'm looking forward to this season and progressing in my role, identifying and developing the next level of assistant referees, in addition to coaching the current ARs.
Speaking of the current crop of assistant referees, what do you make of them?
Reflecting back to the fitness tests, the guys looked great out on the track. The dedication and commitment from them was there for all to see and I predict a great year for them.
Having worked with most of the roster of ARs very recently, the rapport and the trust factor is still there. I haven't worked with them all, though, so I'm looking forward to getting to know those guys too. I see myself as a brother to them, and I want to help them as much as possible. I don't see it as moving to the other side, I see it as one collective all working in collaboration.
You obviously have a considerable amount of experience to pass onto the guys, can you pick out some stand-out moments of your career?
My first professional game was in Columbus. Terry Vaughn was the referee. We were using the beeper flags. Early in the game there was a pass back to the goalkeeper. I didn't put my flag up but I hit the button and that was that, my first call in MLS was a pass back. I had an immediate rush.
Terry said to me at half-time that if I hadn't have beeped him, he wouldn't have called it. The defender blatantly kicked it back to the goalkeeper, and he just picked it up. I sort of questioned in my head quickly, "has he just passed that back?!". But I went with my instinct, beeped the flag, Terry called it, everyone accepted it, and I was away!
2015 was probably the highlight for me – the summer of my career. I worked the U.S. Open Cup Final – that was big – got my first MLS Playoffs game in Montreal, and was also selected as fifth official for the MLS Cup, which was fantastic.
I've had so many games, traveling to so many stadiums. I was in Seattle for Kasey Keller's final game, for instance, in front of 60,000 people – that was incredible.
Did those achievements help when it came to retiring?
That's a great question. I don't feel like I've got anything left to prove. I came so close to a Playoff game before 2015 but never got one, then I received a call-up that year. I put on a good performance when I was called upon and that allowed me to feel at peace with what I'd accomplished on the field.
How did PRO help you in your career, and achieving your goals?
PRO has been tremendous. I've seen such a shift in how the referee program has evolved since PRO's inception. It's such a professional organization. Referees are given all the equipment they need, and the training at camps – it's been awesome, it really has.
The staff that we have in place – Peter [Walton, General Manager], Paul [Rejer, Training & Development Manager] and Michael [Kennedy, Referee Manager] and the rest – are priceless. We needed someone like Peter to come in and really take our program in a direction that North America hadn't seen before.
Even down to how the assignments are delivered to officials now – they know where they stand. Back when I first started, you didn't know from one week to the next whether you were going to get another game. The mechanisms we have in place now are really strong, and I know it'll keep on improving.
I'll always be proud to wear the badge, previously as an active AR and now as part of the support staff.

The Buccaneers cut the Gamecocks lead in half scoring two runs in the top of the fourth inning. Bobby Ison singled and would score Zack Hagaman's RBI single. Brian Welch would then single and bring home Hagaman leaving the Gamecocks with a 4-2 lead.
Costen answered with his first homer of the season in the bottom of the fourth. After Arendas drew a leadoff walk, Costen crushed a 2-1 pitch over the wall in left-center to give the Gamecocks a 6-2 lead.
Charleston Southern responded with two runs in the top of the fifth to cut the Carolina lead back to two runs. Chase Shelton drew a walk to open the frame and Drew Woodall put down a bunt for a base hit. Ison would bring home Shelton with a RBI single and Alex Tomasovich registered the first extra base hit of the game with a double that drove in Woodall.
The Gamecocks tallied two more runs in the bottom of the seventh to go ahead 8-4. Schrock recorded his second triple of the season to start the inning, sending a 2-2 pitch to right-center field, just shy of falling into the bullpen. Schrock would score on a RBI single by Greiner who knocked a ball over the head of Charleston Southern third baseman, Jaren Suster. Greiner would then steal second, advance to third after Costen and Vergason both walked, and score on a wild pitch.
LB Dantzler increased the lead to 9-4 in bottom of the eighth inning as he launched a 3-1 pitch over the wall in left field for his team-leading 10th home run of the season. Woodall homered in the top of the ninth inning for the final run of the game for CSU.
Schrock went 3-for-5 tying a career-high for hits in a game and scored two runs. Saiko was 2-for-4 and recorded his first double and extra base hit of the season. Greiner drove in two runs as did Costen.
South Carolina is back in action Wednesday night against Furman at Fluor Field in Greenville. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.


Most people who have worn braces remember the excitement of the day the braces finally came off. Whether the brackets had been on for years or months, unveiling a new smile can be an incredible feeling. However, the discoloration that can occur on teeth during the process of straightening them with braces can be discouraging and frustrating and put a damper on the big day.
