IFRC Secretary General meets the Governor of Fukushima to discuss recovery process from Japan's 2011 triple disaster

It has been almost four and a half years since Japan was struck by the massive earthquake and tsunami that triggered the partial meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
While the reconstruction process has advanced significantly in the area surrounding the crippled nuclear power plant, and many evacuees have now returned to their homes, the road to recovery remains a long one for many people still living in temporary shelters.
Last Monday, as part of his trip to Switzerland to present an update on the prefecture's recovery efforts, the Governor of Fukushima, Mr Masao Uchibori, met Elhadj As Sy, Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to express his appreciation for the organization's support, and to discuss its work on nuclear and radiological preparedness.
In the aftermath of the 2011 triple disaster, the IFRC raised over $600 million US dollars, helping the Japanese Red Cross Society to play a critical role in assisting the injured, providing psychosocial support, supplying household appliances for families in temporary shelters, establishing safe spaces for children and community centres, and distributing radiation monitoring equipment to people living in areas that may have been contaminated.
"The assistance that our prefecture received from the Red Cross has been a great moral boost for us," said Mr Uchibori. "I would like to give formal thanks on behalf of all the people of Fukushima."
Suffering persists
Mr Uchibori said many communities are still suffering; families remain in temporary housing, unable to return to their neighbourhoods, and may have to decide about where they rebuild their lives. "There is no right answer. There are just many answers," he said. "In such situations, the advice and support that we receive from international organizations such as the IFRC can help heal divisions."
The Secretary General paid tribute to the leadership of the Fukushima prefecture and the affected communities for their resilience, praising the role of the the Japanese Red Cross Society in the process of reconstruction. "To reconstruct means to heal, to reconcile, to rebuild the trust and the dignity that was eroded by the displacement," said Mr Sy.
"Once again, we pledge our support to the communities, the country's leadership and the Japanese Red Cross Society to keep this process going."
Learning the lessons of Fukushima
Mr Sy, who visited Fukushima last October, said the IFRC was determined to understand and act on the lessons learned from the Fukushima response. In collaboration with the Japanese Red Cross Society, the organization has been working on a set of guidelines for Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to prepare better for nuclear and radiological accidents. These will soon be finalized and will inform discussions at the IFRC General Assembly in December.
"The international community should never forget Fukushima, and the consequences that still echo today. We will continue to raise awareness about the risks of nuclear disasters and how we can best prepare for them should similar incidents happen again," said Mr Sy.

Ernie Hawkins, internationally-renown acoustic guitar virtuoso, plays and sings blues, ragtime, and gospel. His riveting music springs mostly from the early 1900's east coast Piedmont and Texas blues styles. Ernie's early exposure to roots music was under the tutelage of the caretaker on his uncle's farm. Ernie studied extensively with Rev. Gary Davis, and played with Son House, Mance Lipscomb, Fred McDowell, Robert Pete Williams, Arthur Crudup, and many others. In addition, he spent thousands of hours ferreting out and studying obscure and historic recordings. Ernie Hawkins has become one of our best living links to this rich and magnificent American musical heritage, and is joyfully dedicated to preserving and passing on his treasured knowledge, both "in the letter" and "in the spirit".
As one of a handful fortunate enough to study with the old masters, he now serves as a master to other aspiring musicians. Ernie is dedicated to the continuation of this music and generously shares his "trade secrets". A beloved and patient teacher, he is in demand worldwide.
This rocking' example of classic Texas blues is taken from a film of Lightnin' from the sixties. It is in standard tuning in the key of E and features his steady pulsing base supporting the melody. A great example of Lightnin's unerring sense of melody. One of the definitive versions of this blues chestnut that influenced every single blues player that ever lived.
A beautiful example of a Broonzy-style E blues. Notable is the rock-steady single note base, damped with the heel of the right hand. Conveniently, he uses the open E base for the E chord, the open A for the A, and the second fret of the A string (B note) for the B7. The only guitar break occurs in the beginning verse, with an eleven-bag intro. It is beautiful, and typical Broonzy, though quite different from the rest of the sung verses, which are eight bars.
Basin Street Blues is a song often performed by Dixieland jazz bands. It was written by Spencer Williams and published in 1926. It was made famous in a recording by Louis Armstrong in 1928. The Basin Street of the title refers to the main street of Storyville, the notorious red-light district of the early 20th-century New Orleans, just north of the French Quarter. It became a red light district in 1897. Ernie has arranged this in the key of C, with a few Mills Brothers touches.
A wonderful example Of Big Bill taking a pop standard and turning it into something special. A great introduction to the art of playing standards in a way that allows the tradition of ragtime-blues guitar to shine through.
This is a classic Blind Willie McTell blues played in the key of E and recorded in 1933. A handbook of the Georgia blues genius's licks in E. This song shows the master of voice-guitar dialogue at work. Sometimes voice and guitar double each other, sometimes follow. Basically 12-bars, in the last 4 bars, he slides the B7 chord up two frets and and brings it back down the B7. McTell really knew how to use metaphors.
This is an example of McTell's brilliant ragtime-blues style. Follows a basic C A7 D7 G7 / C C7 F Fm progression.
Cornet Chop Suey, like many of the recordings Louis Armstrong made in February 1926, is astonishing in showing the first fruits of Armstrong's genius. It's in this track where Louis first develops his mastery of timing and rhythm in his soloing- his first solo is mesmeric, full of stops and starts and syncopations, almost as if Armstrong is inventing Be-Bop twenty years before it occurred. Armstrong's second solo is comparably brilliant, with his clarion-like trumpet transcending the relative obscurity of the tune.
Ernie has arranged Cornet Chop Suey in the key of C and hopefully captures the spirit of Armstrong's playing. It is played in a the ragtime/jazz guitar style of another musical genius, Rev Gary Davis.
In Broonzy's hands, a popular song really becomes so much more: it's a blues, it's a rag, a pop song, a work of art. His steady, dampened single-string base swings its way happily through the song, backing the melody like a freight train exuberantly clacking through Chicago.
Classic blues from Lightnin' with all the runs bells and whistles you need to master that distinct Lightning' sound, the essence of Texas slow E blues. It features his steady single-note base supporting his brilliant soloing.
An iconic Broonzy tune: If you can play this, much of Broonzy's C ragtime-blues falls into place. It is especially helpful in nailing down his powerful right-hand technique. Really, though he's playing interesting notes with his left, it's the right hand that really makes his style what it is: grooving, swinging, driving. And it's his right thumb that makes it all happen. Broonzy is a master of the single-string dead thumb style.
Most important, this song is truly fun, a blast really, to play.
In 1924 the young coronet player Bix Beiderbecke took his college band into Gennett Studios in Richmond Indiana and made Jazz history. These first brilliant recordings introduced the world to one of founding geniuses of Jazz. He took this popular song (by King-Fio Rito-Kahn) and seemingly effortlessly showed everybody how it was done. I transposed it to the keys of C and A. It modulates, first part in C, second in A and third back in C as it moves up the neck. I kept to the chord progression and melody for the most part, but took liberties in order to try to make it the best guitar piece. I would not have been able to even think of doing this if Gary Davis hadn't taught me his basic style and approach to twenties jazz. It's a Piedmont fingerpicking style rooted in Davis's Carolina tradition. His brilliant playing opened the door for this kind of guitar jazz.
"I'm Coming Virginia" was written by Donald Heytward and Will Marion Cook. The song was first recorded by Ethel Waters in 1926. This was a popular recording but the truly definitive version was recorded by the Bix-Trambauer band in 1927, that included Eddie Lang on guitar. I learned this song in three different keys before deciding that A and E worked best for fingerpicking guitar.
Everything Blind Willie McTell played had an indefinable spiritual depth. You hear it, or feel it immediately, from out of the last century, and from a very different world, somewhere in your heart. It's blues on a kind of universal level; it speaks to our being for some languid, deep, yearning place. He seemed to be able to evoke this particularly well through his slide playing. Really nothing fancy about it, just every note economically perfect.
I am here offering this song as an instrumental. As with all Broonzy songs, this features his patented steady, dampened, single-string base. He generally uses the open A base for the A and d chords and the opened for the E chord. He uses lots of pickup,or 'thumb-drag' notes with move between the E and A chords. It starts out with an A form D on the fifth fret, down to A-E-A. Since the next part of the song starts with a C#7 it has a kind of a ragtime feel.
Here's Lightnin' at his boogie-woogie best. This key of E boogie style deeply influenced literally every bluesguitar player in the world that followed, especially the great Texas layers. Freddie Kind stole the solo and featured it in hisfamous Hideaway. The Vaughn brothers rocked audiences all over the world with the patented Lightnin' base lines. Lightnin' truly put his stamp on every generation of blues player with this boogie-base style of playing. If you want to play blues, this is essential to your basic vocabulary. In this film, the young Joan Baez looks on.
Blind Willie McTell was a master with a slide. He was part of a tradition of great 12-string slide wizards that included Barbecue Bob, Charley Lincoln and George Carter. McTell knew and traveled with Blind Willie Johnson and they undoubtedly played together. He gets a lot of music out of very simple, straightforward licks. It's a sound that goes straight to the heart, like all of his music.
A mystical 8-bar blues played in the key of E. Learn this and you also know "Ticket Agent Blues." There's something about Blind Willie McTell's sound - the combination of his voice, rhythm, and the deep guitar that transports you to another place, a mythical South.
The sweet, deep side of Big Bill. This song reminds me of something from Leroy Carr.
One of the most soulful and beautiful of Lightnin's A blues. He was the master of Texas Blues, and his sound was definitive. This song shows off his easy ability to tell a story and pull any audience into his mood. It features a pulsing single-string base and stinging chordal solos. Classic Texas A-blues runs.
This song is the quintessential Broonzy C blues/rag. Terrific, fast lines and melodies, all the great Broonzy C blues moves are here. The song bubbles along propelled by his steady, swinging, thumping single-string base.
One of the definitive C blues statements on any recording anywhere. This compliments the other, more up tempo C blues like "Shuffle Rag" or "St. Louis Blues," in that it uses many of the same licks, but as this blues is sweetly slowed down, he can extend these licks, making them more complex, inward, expressive. He appears to be improvising some, showing him to be a master reminiscent of the early recordings of Lonnie Johnson.
Broonzy tackles this W. C. Handy classic with his usual swinging C blues style. He has a great ear for melody and effortlessly weaves it into his "Shuffle Rag" arrangement, even breaking into "Shuffle Rag" for a few verses, showing the similarities between some of the licks. As usual, he employs his solid, swinging, single-string, steady thumping base, and shows us adaptable this style is, as it can be easily used with any kind of song.
Written by Hoagy Carmichael with words by Mitchell Parrish, It is said that the melody was inspired by the piano musings of Hoagy's genius friend Bix Beiderbecke. Written in 1927, it went on to become arguably the greatest American standard, and has been recorded over 1,500 times by everyone in the business. This version sticks to the melody pretty much as written.
This is one of Blind Willie McTell's greatest masterpieces, if not the greatest. The Allman Brothers had a famous adaptation, though it was a huge departure from the original. A personal note: this is one of the songs that forever hooked my teenage self on to blues. I still get the chills listening to it. I even hitchhiked down to Georgia when I was 17 trying to find Blind Willie, only to later learn that he died five years earlier, in 1959. Paul Geremia tells me he made the same pilgrimage. Blind Willie McTell inspired a generation of young white blues fans with this song. From the very first famous lick, the descending F#, F, E, D, every note is the perfect note. It's amazing that he can play so profoundly with such ease and simplicity. I really wish I could have met him.
All of Big Bill Broonzy's songs are really fun to play. This one especially so. I think the reason is his swinging right hand. His single-base, dead thumb style, of which he is a master, propels his songs swinging along. Also he seems always to find the easiest, most natural and economical way to play melodies, and he is a master at coming up with catchy melodies. This is a great tune to learn his style. Broonzy was so popular in the thirties, so prolific, that he influenced countless guitarists. It's a keystone style, so to speak, in country blues. "Stovepipe Stomp," though in the key of D, which causes many guitarist to tune to drop D tuning, where the low E string is tuned down to D, is in standard tuning. For the D and A chords, he plays an open A base, G base for the G chord. Playing open basses frees you up to move around up the neck anywhere.
Bix Beiderbecke recorded this song with his first band, The Wolverines in 1924. I transposed it to the key of C to best play it on the guitar. I stuck to the chord progression and melody carefully, but took many liberties with the arrangement, the better to get the song's deep idea across. This is one of my very favorite arrangements. It's important to note here that the style that Rev Gary Davis taught us all made this kind of arrangement possible.
This is a Lightnin' song that shows his deep knowledge of the great Texas blues tradition. It comes from a Blind Lemon Jefferson song, "Beggin' Back." It is unusual for Lightnin' because it features a moving base as in the East Coast Piedmont style rather than his usual single base style. Plus it is played in the key of C which was not used a lot by Lightnin'. It shows how versatile Lightnin' really was.
"Weather Bird" is perhaps the most famous jazz duet ever recorded. It was recorded in Chicago on December 5, 1928. Louis Armstrong's duet with Earl Hines is one of the high points of jazz recordings, anticipating elements of the music to come, even decades later. Ernie has arranged this in the key of C in the ragtime/jazz style perfected by Rev Gary Davis.
What a Wonderful World has become one of Louis Armstrong's most popular songs. It was written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss. The original plan in 1967 was for the gravel-voiced, quirky jazz legend Armstrong to release the song as a piece that might quell some of the racial and political unrest in America, given its optimism and celebration of life. It hit the charts in England but took another 20 years thanks to its inclusion in the Robin Williams movie Good Morning, Vietnam, to finally claim a spot on the U.S. top 40 charts. Armstrong, sadly, was long dead by this time. It's a beautiful song and Ernie has arranged it in the key of C using first position chords and an alternating bass.


On Sunday 4th November Bayside Tri Club welcomed over 150 competitors to the start line of the Bayside Autumn Duathlon.
Athletes began to arrive at registration at 06:30 and the transition area soon started to fill up with an array of bikes.
With 19 different athletic clubs represented, including a large contingent from Southampton University Tri and Portsmouth Triathletes and members of the Royal Navy, British Army and Hants Police Clubs as well as local running clubs Gosport Road Runners, Fareham Crusaders and Stubbington Green, we were in for a cracking race. There was also a large number of competitors taking on a Duathlon for the first time and we were delighted that they chose our event to do so.
There was a bit of a breeze and the temperature hovered around the 10 degree mark for most of the morning but it stayed dry at the start / finish area for the duration of the event.
At 08:00 the mass start of the Sprint and Super Sprint distances commenced with competitors making their way along Stokes Bay down the Gosport Golden Mile route. At 1.25km those doing the Super Sprint turned round and headed back to the start with the remainder doing the Sprint distance carrying down the promenade, running a couple of laps of the sports field before also returning to the start / finish line and into transition.
Off they all went on their bikes, heading up to the Cocked Hat pub roundabout and then making their way along the sea front to Stubbington. Those doing the Super Sprint turned at the Red Lion pub roundabout and retraced their route back to the transition area. The Sprint distance competitors continued and picked up the route of the Stubbington 10km road race route. A change in the route for this year and one that resulted in a single lap and minimum disruption from traffic. One incline up Coach Hill in Titchfield may have got a few out of the saddle before a left turn down Posbrook Lane led competitors towards Titchfield Haven and back to the sea front. Unbeknown to event organisers it was raining on this part of the course and competitors got a bit wet. Back along the sea front, past Lee-on-the-Solent, and back to the transition ready for the second run of the day.
Both Super Sprint and Sprint distance competitors ran the same distance they'd run in the first leg. With the wind picking up a little as the morning went on it meant that they had to work harder on the way out before 'enjoying' some assistance in the final kilometer or so of the race.
All finishers received a bespoke medal and a Chia Charge flapjack as they crossed the line and there were lots of happy /smiley faces.
Keep Sunday 3rd November 2019 free in your diary for next years race.

A reader recently asked us : "How much are the pools and hot tubs for the Birdie Villa's? And can I see some photos please?"
"The cost of the swimming pools are about 20,000 euros if you purchase from Roda, possibly less from another supplier, however you need to get permission from Roda Golf to use another supplier, and this may not be possible. The hot tubs vary in price, depending on size and quality, but start from about 6,000 euros up to 12,000, please remember, the quality varies quite considerably, should you require help with this, please just ask us."
We include a couple of pictures below of two pools we found installed outside villas, they look very comfy! Happy to oblige our readers. By the way, these pictures were taken during our FULL April report visit, so we have loads more pictures coming very soon, especially of the Phase 4 progress.

Royal Huisman expands facilities

Royal Huisman, the Dutch superyacht manufacturer, has recently announced that it will be expanding its capacity by including exclusive access to the Holland Jachtbouw (HJB) facility in Amsterdam to its offering. SuperyachtNews speaks with Roemer Boogaard, managing director of Royal Huisman, about the new facility and Huisman's desire to expand and diversify.
"In the future we see strategic diversification," starts Boogaard. "We will not only be focussing our efforts on the sailing yachts that we have become known for, we will be extending our range towards motoryachts up to 65m."
The availability of the facility comes following the anticipated termination of the HJB business after the sad passing of HJB's founder Chris Gongriep. "HJB will continue and finish its two ongoing projects," explains Boogaard. "In the meantime, we (Royal Huisman) have access to the additional sheds."
The 12,000sqm HJB facility boasts three state-of-the-art halls with a maximum length of 60m overlooking 120m of waterfront with open sea access. This facility will be available for Royal Huisman customers to commission new build and refit projects.
"Our strategy is to conduct all 60m-plus refits at our Emden facility, with 40-60m projects being placed across our facilities depending on the availability of space," continues Boogaard. "In Vollenhove we will mainly concentrate on sailing yachts with the HJB facility focussing on smaller refits and motoryachts."
When asked if Royal Huisman will be assimilating the HJB workforce, upon HJB closing as a business, Boogaard explains that, as yet, there are no plans in place to take on the HJB workforce as there is still HJB work to be completed. However, he does not discredit the idea that there may be room for assimilation in the future.
"Firstly, HJB needs to finish its work, after which there will be an available workforce," he says. "We have told the personnel that, should they wish, they are free to deliver their CV's to Royal Huisman. However, I must be clear that this is not an acquisition, we are renting the space at HJB."
The next step, according to Boogaard, is to establish Royal Huisman as a force in the motoryacht market, transfer Royal Huisman's good name in sailing into this new sector and attain its first new build contract for a motoryacht.

I normally don't ever review or take survey like this, but I bought a LivingSocial on the whim and came here to get new glasses. I will now be leaving my current eye-doctor to drive all the way from Henderson to Summerlin just to come here. I was extraordinarily impressed with the doctor and his assistant (a young brunette). They were so nice, listened well, and made me comfortable. I have been to a couple eye-doctors in the past few years and never knew how lacking my experience was until I cam here. I have already recommended this doctor to my friends and family. Great experience.
