Fiji Ranked As Best Lovers' Choice

FIJI has again ranked among some of the
world's best destinations for any couple
who needs a special getaway.
Online dating site DatingAdvice.com
has named Fiji as one of the "8 Sexiest
Island Getaways for Couples".
Likuliku Lagoon Resort on Malolo
Island is rated number five out of the top
eight unique location for couples.
Coming in at number three among the
Top 10 Most Romantic Islands in the
World by Islands Magazine USA in 2012,
the resort is the perfect destination for any
couple who needs a special getaway.
"The Fijian Lagoon Resort is a mecca
of relaxation and luxury, and it is the

hottest place to be, considering it is the
first and only resort in Fiji with overwater bungalows," the website, that
offers expert dating advice, stated.
It notes the richness of an ancient culture is
evoked through the architecture of the resort,
built in the style of a Fijian canoe house.
Tourism Fiji global public relations
manager Patricia Mallam said Fiji's
placing in the top 10 for couples helped
boost Fiji's stake in the honeymooners
niche, especially in the North American
market where they had been undertaking
campaigns targeted at couples and
honeymooners.
"Likuliku is a very popular destination
with honeymooners and it's no surprise
to see them making the top 10," Ms
Mallam said.
Tourism Fiji runs campaigns such as the
Brides Sweepstakes and participates in
trade shows which showcase specific
hotels and or resorts in Fiji that are ideal
for couples and honeymooners.
"Tourism Fiji also focuses a lot of its PR
on highlighting this segment to targeted
editorials such as NZ Weddings
who were here in March to highlight the
suitability of certain resorts for couples."
Victoria Wines Adds Global Flavours To FTE

Fijis leading wine distributor, Victoria
Wines, is committed to strengthening
the Fiji Brand by committing as the
major sponsor for the Food and Wine
Festival and the Fiji Fashion Show at
the Fijian Tourism Expo (FTE) 2015.
The family-run business, with three
outlets in Port Denarau, Nadi and
Suva, is dedicated to importing and
distributing fine wines from all over the
world from countries like Argentina,
Australia, Chile, France, Italy, North
America, New Zealand, Spain
through to Fijis many boutique island
resorts and top restaurants.
To enhance the experience of overseas
participants at FTE 2015, Victoria
Wines will be distributing an excellent
range of wines and support for the
development of wine knowledge in
Fiji.
We expect, through the sponsorship
of FTE Food & Wine Festival, to
raise tourism wholesalers expectations
around the quality of food and wine

experiences available in Fiji, says
Victoria Wines Company Director, Ms
Kate Vusoniwailala.
Fiji has not always had a strong
reputation in this area but through the
significant efforts of individuals in the
sector and resorts dedicated to a high
quality of food and beverage experience,
this is now changing; it provides us with
a competitive edge in the international
tourism arena as well as offering the
opportunity to build niche markets
for those that consider wine and food
experiences as a key driver in choosing
a destination.
The Victoria Wines Food and Wine
Festival at FTE 2015 is aimed at
educating international buyers on just
how sophisticated the food and wine
scene in Fiji has become, and will
feature food from all around the world
with wines matched to each dish to
compliment the flavours.
Minister for Employment, Productivity and

Industrial Relations Jioji Konrote said workers
in New Zealand under the Recognised
Seasonal Employer Work Scheme are
working under good work conditions.
This follows a question raised by MP
Alivereti Nabulivou on the work conditions
for the workers under the scheme.
Konrote said under the agreement our
workers will be looked after properly.
He said the workers will be paid nothing
less than the New Zealand national
minimum wage rate of $14.50 and they

will work for 14 hours each day.
Konrote said 24 workers are currently
working in New Zealand with six more
workers to join them later.
We were very impressed with FTE

2014 because of the holistic, innovative
and up-beat approach to marketing Fiji
as a destination. There is significant
development in the market and huge
opportunities as the sector expands and
enriches the offer available to visitors,
Ms Vusoniwailala says.
As part of its commitment to strengthen
Fijis food and wine sector, Victoria
Wines is working with the New Zealand
School of Wine & Spirits to deliver
internationally recognized wine and
spirit training in Fiji in 2013.
This month the Director of the New
Zealand School of Wine & Spirits,
Master of Wine, Ms Jane Skilton, will be
delivering the internationally recognized
Wine & Spirit Education Trust training
to 85 participants in Fiji. The majority
of the participants are from the tourism
and hospitality sector and this illustrates
Fijis commitment towards strengthening
its wine and food offer, she adds.

Employment Ministry Commits To Finding

Jobs For Unemployed
AT the end of each academic year,
approximately 12,000 to 14,000 Fijians
who have completed years 12 and 13,
including graduates from other tertiary
institutions such as University of the
South Pacific, join the ranks of either the
unemployed or those seeking jobs.
And the Ministry of Employment,
Productivity and Industrial Relations
has noted its record of 46,277 Fijians
registered
within
the
National
Employment Centre who are waiting to
be employed.
Out of this number of job seekers, 2741
have diploma level qualification and
1640 are graduates with degrees.
Speaking at the University of the South
Pacific Entrepreneurial and Career Expo
launch, Minister Jioje Konrote said he
had a mandate to try and find employment
for these individuals and reduce the
present national unemployment level
from about 7 per cent to 5 per cent at the
end of 2016.
Within Fiji, he said, there was a variety
604.510.4088
of exciting career paths that were

available and open to graduates with the
right-based skills.
USP acting vice-chancellor Professor
Richard Coll said Fiji was not alone on
this issue because it was also happening
in universities worldwide.
"When I came in 1999, students get a job
after they graduate but as we produce

more and more graduates, they don't
automatically get a job," Prof Coll said.
The university has provided a solution
that it is training its students to create
jobs instead of being an employee.
He said this was a key feature of what
the university wanted its graduates to be.
Minister for Local Government, Housing

and Environment, Praveen Kumar has

Lead Its Bougainville Election Mission
The Attorney General and Minister

Responsible for Elections, Aiyaz SayedKhaiyum, has welcomed the invitation
from the Pacific Islands Forum for Fiji
to lead its Observation Mission for the
election of the Bougainville Autonomous

The Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed
Saneem, is heading the PIF mission
which also includes Vanuatu as part of
an international group of monitors that
also includes Australia, New Zealand,
the United States, France, Japan, Britain
and the Commonwealth.
This is a tremendous vote of confidence

It is also a tremendous vote of

organisations and even partner on a

Big Jump In Exports To EU To $228M

Fiji recorded a 40 per cent increase in
its total exports the European Union the
past year when compared to 2013.
The total value of exports in 2014
was $228.4 million, confirmed the
Permanent Secretary for Industry, Trade
and Tourism, Shaheen Ali.
Mr Ali said Fiji exports on average
for the past three years, between 2012
to 2014, was nearly $193 million per
annum.
Sugar in these three years was the prime
export, on average accounting for 86 per
cent of total exports, he said.
This benefits directly and indirectly
200,000 Fijians and continues to generate
economic activities in Nadi, Lautoka,
Ba, Tavua, Ra, Labasa and Seqaqa.
Apart from sugar, Fiji exports a range of
other commodities, including fish and
fisheries product, crystallized ginger,
mineral water, garments, sporting wear,
pre-packed food items and beauty
products.
Mr Ali said this not only benefits
manufacturers and the ordinary Fijians
who are gainfully employed, but farmers
also in the rural areas who grow raw
materials for the manufacturers.
For example, ginger farmers who supply
to crystallized ginger manufacturers and
virgin coconut oil producers who supply to

beauty products manufacturers, he said.
Mr Ali has stressed trade flows between
Fiji and the European Union are
reciprocal.
Imports from the EU also takes place
and the most notable are the three
advertise on
Airbuses that we imported from France

by Fiji Airways, he said.
Lately, Punjas imported their stateof-the-art machinery for their biscuit
factory from Italy as well.
Our other large imports from the EU
consist of machinery and mineral fuel.

Stats Show Livestock Demand More Than

Supply
Current statistics show that livestock

supply is lower than total demand
estimated at 10 to 20 per cent, says
Permanent Secretary for Finance
Filimone Waqabaca.
He said the figures meant good news for
the stakeholders as there was room for
growth and investment.
This is not gloom but good news for all
players in this industry that there is room
to continue to grow this very important
sector to meet the demand, he said.
Mr Waqabaca made these comments in
Nadi as he opened the Livestock Sector
Forum at the Tanoa International Hotel.
Highlighting the importance of the
sector, Mr Waqabaca said over 60 per
cent of the rural population participates
in livestock-related activities.
Livestock is of economic importance,
contributing, on average nine per cent
of the total agricultural GDP of 12 per
cent, he said.
Livestock contribute to nutritional
security through the provision of meat,
milk and eggs and provide important
farm inputs such as draught power and
manure to sustain crop production for
food and feed.
Animals also serve as investment sinks
and sources of cash income in times of
need, as providers of transport for goods
and services and are central to many
socio-cultural events and ceremonies.
Mr Waqabaca said there were ongoing
programmes/policies which have been
designed to target efficiency in the
livestock sector thus increase agricultural
productivity and farmers incomes.
Challenges and successes
Mr Waqabaca said livestock production
and productivity in Fiji has faced a lot of
challenges over the years, with its share

of successes.
The level of imports of animal and animal
products into Fiji has been high due to
the shortfalls of livestock production,
he said.
This has resulted in the draining of
foreign reserves to meet the protein
nutrient requirements of the population
from sources abroad.
The Government intends to maximise
the opportunities that are available
locally and support programmes and
activities that will strengthen local
initiatives and reduce dependency on
imports.
Government assistance
The Ministry of Agriculture has also been
involved in the national consultation
with stakeholders on the Draft Feed
Bill and will be amended if appropriate
before it is legislated.
Mr Waqabaca said Government also
aims to regularise the supply of quality

feed which will impact the livestock
industry and assist those farmers who
rely on livestock farming as a source of
livelihood.
The Government is giving strong
emphasis on the development of
agriculture, including the livestock
sector, to increase food production and
improve livelihoods.
Development policies and planning of
the agriculture sector are guided by the
2020 Agriculture Policy.
It aims at a market-led, commercialised,
efficient, competitive and dynamic
agricultural sector within the context of
sustainable development.
There is a focus on six main commodities
namely milk, beef, mutton, pork, poultry
meat and poultry eggs. For each of these
commodities, there are specific targets
for production and each has a plan of
action.
Fiji To Rejoin Inter-Parliamentary Union

Fijis Parliament passed a motion for the
country to rejoin the Inter-Parliamentary
Union (IPU).
The motion which was moved and presented
by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama
and seconded by Attorney General Aiyaz
Sayed-Khaiyum was unanimously agreed
by both sides of the house.
The Prime Minister said their re-inclusion
will strengthen Fijis democracy and
foster relations with other parliaments
around the world.
He said through the IPU, all elected
604.909.4088
representatives of the Fijian people can

have dialogue with citizen representatives
from other parts of the world to exchange
ideas, learn from each others experiences
and improve on their ability to serve the
people they represent better.
He mentioned that the motion arose after
a recent visit by a Fijian Parliamentary
delegation led by Speaker Dr Jiko
Luveni to the UK where they visited
the Scottish Parliament and attended the
National Assembly of Wales.
Members of the Opposition showed their
support for the motion and commended

the Prime Minister.
SODELPA MP Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu
said the motion was commendable and timely
but also stated that Government should also
work towards rejoining the Commonwealth
Parliamentary Association.
Attorney General Sayed-Khaiyum in
response said he met the Commonwealth
Secretary General, Mr Kamlesh Sharma in
London during his visit recently and they
will look at discussing their re-inclusion
when Mr Sharma visits Fiji soon.

Tanoa Hospitality Championships

Staff from various branches of Tanoa
Hotels bonded during the Tanoa
Hospitality Championships in Nadi.
Reddy Group/Tanoa Hotels director
Kalpana Reddy said the event was
mainly aimed to see the progress of older
staff and up skilling of younger staff.
Its a measure of how well they have
taken to the training. Its basically about
how well they have done throughout
the year and whether they meet the
requirements of the Tanoa way in
terms of performance so theres a predetermined criteria for the Tanoa way,
she said.
It gives staff an opportunity to come
and show off their skills compared to
other peers.
The training is an ongoing initiative
where modules and standard operating
procedures are observed and each staff
refers to a comprehensive training plan.
However, according to Ms Reddy the

relaunch of the Tanoa way took place 14
months ago.
Competitions included bed making, owl
folding, flower arrangement and for food
and beverage there was napkin folding,
wine tasting, cocktail mixing and the
barrister competition and for the kitchen
category there was designing of a
showpiece reflecting the theme of staffs
respective hotels.
The last two competitions were for live
carving of fruits as well as other items
and a theme based booth. Staff was
given a specific time to complete all
tasks. Ms Reddy said: Its still about
them going out there and having fun its
very important, there is quite a lot of
work that goes into making up the teams
especially when they pick out who will
represent their hotel.
She said there are no external stakeholders
but there are certainly many supporters

like suppliers specifically Coca-Cola,
Bakels and Yees Cold Storage as it was
primarily an internal event.
For staff its important it gives them
confidence and there will be people who
take way trophies and medals, from
picking their own teams to picking their
own uniforms and concepts its all about
them, she said.
Hotel staff were in for a surprise when
an unexpected event for the directors
was also planned, this involved directors
partaking in similar competitions that
the staff had competed in.
The response has been amazing they
love something like this and while there
is a serious side of it there is also a fun
side, and its also good because weve
got our branches in Fiji coming down for
today they dont always get to meet each
other, she said.
Rosy Akbar At Care Home For Mothers

Day
The Minister for Women, Children
and Poverty Alleviation put together
a programme to visit residential care
homes in the Central Division to
celebrate Mothers Day.
Minister Rosy Akbar visited and
celebrated Mothers Day with the
residents of the Samabula Old Peoples
Home, Home of Compassion, Father
Law Home and Dilkusha Girls Home
in Nausori. The ministry organised
these programmes in partnership with
Telecom Fiji and Colgate Palmolive Fiji
Limited.
The programme started at 9am where Mrs
Akbar addressed residents of Samabula
Old Peoples Home and treated them
with free meals and gifts. The ministers
visit was to look at ways to improve
the services and administration of these
homes by the Department of Social
Welfare. Mrs Akbar says its significant
that residents of these homes are
recognised during important celebrations
like Mothers Day.
During my ministerial tours, I have
come to realise how some families have
neglected those who are mentally and
physically disabled. Most patients at
St Giles Hospital, and including those
in these residential care homes, do not
get the family support they need for
604.510.4088
their wellbeing. Sadly, some of these

residents in care homes have lost all
contacts with their families and they
cry for their loved ones. I urge families
that have relatives in the residential care
homes to please visit them and give
them the care and compassion that these
people deserve. This simple approach
can restore life back into them, Mrs

Akbar reiterated. The ministry currently
supports 12,709 senior citizens through
the Social Pension Scheme and likewise
42,475 individuals continue to be
assisted by the Bus fare concession,
including the senior citizens and persons
living with disabilities.

Fijis Growth
United States Ambassador Judith Cefkin

commended Government for achieving
a 4.2 per cent growth in 2014 and the
economys noticeable boost this year.
She highlighted this at the US Embassy
Road Show Business Information
session in Lautoka.
Construction is driving a lot of economic
expansion including infrastructure
projects also homes and investment in
new hotels and a lot of that is centred in
this part of the country, she said.
US exports to Fiji worth $79 million
have increased by 19 per cent this year,
Ambassador Cefkin said.
To
encourage
this
economic
development the United States has
endorsed a $50 million World Bank loan
to Fiji for the Transport Infrastructure
Investment Project (TIIP) that was
approved by the World Bank in March.
We are also huge contributors to the
Asian Development Bank and were
pleased to see $350 million ADB funding
for infrastructure projects in Fiji over the
next few years, she said.
She added the US government was
supportive of Fijis efforts to tap into
resilience of land and maritime transport
infrastructure.
Fiji-US Business Council president
Narendra Reddy said the Fijian business
community needed to take advantage of
the beneficial trading opportunities.
The US embassy is very influential
in providing avenues and mediation
between Fiji and the U.S in terms of

Bollywood Actor, Johnny Lever Interested

To Invest In Fiji
Famous Bollywood actor/comedian,

Johnny Lever, has shown a lot of interest
in investing in Fijis tourism sector.
Investor, Bobby Khan, who is nearing
completion of his resort on the Viti Levu
mainland coast near Sonaisali Island,
confirmed this.
Mr Khan said the Bollywood star was
most likely to become 50 per cent partner
in his resort property.
He will be arriving into Fiji on June 23
and stay till 30 and he will be staying
with me, Mr Khan said.
He also confirmed some other Bollywood
stars and business people from India
had shown interest in investing in Fiji
through him.
The $10 million Resort Relax Fiji is
almost complete and Mr Khan is hoping
to have it officially open by August. They
have already started taking bookings.
The resort will be managed and operated
by Mr Khan himself.
The funding for the investment was
partially through himself as well as local
borrowing.
Once the resort opens, Mr Khan is
looking at about 60 employment
opportunities to be created.
Mr Khan is also developing canal front
residential lots.
He said Johnny Lever has also bought a
lot for his holiday home.
These lots are for sale now just next
to the resort which will be a gated
community, Mr Khan said.
The resort
Resort Relax Fiji will feature a nine-hole
waterfront mini golf which Mr Khan

believes would be a first for any resort
in Fiji.
It will also have water sports such as jet
ski rides, paddle boats etc.
The resort consists of 30 super deluxe
rooms which includes two presidential
villas and 14 waterfront villas.
Mr Khan said they have also made the
resort ideal for weddings with a deck
built which is almost sitting on the water.
It is a very neat resort also for family
reunions with all the facilities provided
within the resort. It is very private and
very secured, he said.
Marketing
In addition to locals, Mr Khan is targeting
guests from Australia, New Zealand and
India.
He said he will be marketing the resort
through internet and has spoken to some

of the travel agents in Australia and New
Zealand to form partnerships with.
Getting into resort
Mr Khan is one of those Fijians who
have returned to invest in the country
after migration.
He came back in 2012 and has since
opened up two supermarket outlets under
the name of U Save Supermarket, and an
events centre as well as other properties.
The resort investment marks a new
challenge in Mr Khans life and a challenge
was what he was looking forward to.
Im the kind of person who wants to do
something new all the time, he said.
This resort came into my mind after
building Nadi Events Centre to a five star
centre which is bringing a lot of overseas
people into Fiji for weddings.
Scholarship Deal
A COMMERCIAL bank made a

commitment with a regional tertiary
institution to enhance education that
would lead to Fiji's economic prosperity.
Westpac Banking Corporation inked the
deal with the University of the South
Pacific (USP) to provide $20,000 per
year in terms of scholarship bursary
to pay for the tuition of three selected
students from any of USP's member
countries.
Westpac's mission and ambition is to be a
great company in Fiji, helping their staff,
customers and communities, particularly
the education community to prosper and
grow.
The bank's general manager, Adrian
604.510.4088
Hughes,
said
such
scholarship
agreements were part of education
assistance under their corporate social
responsibility programs.
"We are truly thrilled to be partnering
with a great institution like USP," Mr
Hughes said.
Acting
vice-chancellor
Professor
Richard Coll assured that the university
would ensure it fulfilled its end of the
obligation towards the memorandum of
understanding.
"The university is really grateful to
Westpac for their continued generosity
towards the university and its students,"
Prof Coll said.
The selected students will major in the
discipline of either banking, economics,
finance, computing science, information
systems or those who were pursuing a degree
in Bachelor of Net-Centric Computing or
Bachelor of Software Engineering.

Worker Admits Backdating Invoices

A former senior accounts officer with T.
F Jan Bulldozing Company says she was
instructed to prepare backdated invoices
and email them to accounts officer at the
then Department of National Roads.
Ranjana Goundar says she used the
company directors email account as
instructed.
Mrs Goundar, in her evidence on day
eight of the $3.1million road scam, told
the court that she received details from
senior technical officer Mukesh Chand
and raised invoices accordingly.
Fiji Independent Commission against
Corruption lawyer Rashmi Aslam
asked Mrs Goundar if she created any
backdated invoices.
Mrs Goundar said she did, but added
that she created backdated documents
for 2010 in 2012 upon instructions from
Mr Chand.
Mr Aslam asked her if she queried
Chand on why they were preparing
backdated invoices, to which Mrs
Goundar replied that Mr Chand told her
this was the direction from director Firoz
Jan Mohammed (first accused).
Mrs Goundar informed the court that
Mohammed told her that they were
claiming for day works which wasnt
previously claimed for.
She said after she raised the invoice, she
would give it to Mr Chand to check and
he would take it to Mohammed and after
approval, he would deliver to DNRs
Lautoka office.
Mr Aslam showed Mrs Goundar four
invoices totalling more than $122,000
and a statement claiming for day works
and she agreed that she prepared them.
Mr Aslam asked if she sent these directly
to anyone in DNR. Mrs Goundar said
she did using Mohammeds email upon
instructions from him. She said she
emailed them to DNR project accountant
Iliesa Turagacati (second accused).
Mrs Goundar identified Turagacati in
court.
She was shown another set of invoices
of October 22, 2010, and she agreed that
she prepared them in 2012 and backdated
them to May 4, 2010, emailing them
with the subject missing invoices,
with content stating please find attached
invoices which went missing by Mr
Fernando.
Mr Aslam asked whether to her
knowledge there were missing invoices
by a Mr Fernando. Mrs Goundar said no.
She agreed with Mr Aslam that when
604.510.4088
payments were received from DNR,

Mohammed would inform her of it.
Mr Aslam asked her if she compared any
payments with the claims. She said once
or twice and noticed the amounts were
doubled from what was claimed.
Mr Aslam asked if she queried this.
Mrs Goundar said when she asked
Mohammed she was informed that it
could be for backlog payments.
Mr Aslam asked whether there were any
backlog payments left for DNR to pay
T.F. Jan, she said no.
On questions from Queens Counsel and
Mohammeds lawyer Ian Lloyd, Mrs
Goundar confirmed she and Mohammed
met Turagacati on one occasion when
Mohammed
demanded
previous
payments from Turagacati.
Mr Lloyd asked her how many witness
statements she gave and she said eight.
She was asked if she mentioned copy
and pasting details from previous emails
into backdated invoices in her statement,
but she denied doing so.
Mrs Goundar was asked if she mentioned
in her statement that Mr Chand would take
the backdated invoices to Mohammed to
verify before delivery. She said no.
Nancy
Tikoisuva,
representing
Turagacati, asked Mrs Goundar whether
the reason for the extra payments were
outstanding payments for which they
met Turagacati and the Minister for
Works in 2010 and 2011 and hence the
payments were to accommodate their
request. Mrs Goundar agreed.
Ms Tikoisuva said the invoices she
emailed to her client were believed to be
true, hence he authorised the payments.
Mrs Goundar said yes she believed it
to be true because her director told her
they were claiming for day works which
wasnt claimed for before.
In re-examination Mr Aslam asked her
whether any FICAC officers asked her to
lie as accused by defence, she said no.
Mr Aslam asked her whether there were
any outstanding payments of 2010 left to
be paid by DNR. She said none as it was
all paid in 2011.
The trial continues.
Charges
Businessman Firoz Jan Mohammed and

former civil servants Iliesa Turagacati
and Navitalai Tamanitoakula were
charged with bribery, obtaining a
financial advantage and abuse of office,
while the other two Aisea Liwaiono have
been charged with two counts of causing
loss and Vijay Prasad charged with one
count of causing loss.
Mohammed is also charged with a
count of perverting the cause of justice
by submitting false documents for
investigation purpose.
It was alleged between February 27 and
July 2012, Mohammed, a director of T.F
Jan Bulldozing Company Ltd, offered
payments amounting to $110,100 to
Turagacati, who was a public servant
employed as an acting project accountant
in the then Department of National
Roads. (The Department of National
Roads is being referred to as Fiji Roads
Authority in the High Court).
It was also alleged in that same period;
Mohammed allegedly lodged false
invoices and circumvented procedures to
obtain an advantage of over $3 million.
Tamanitoakula, who was the senior
accounts officer of FRA, was also alleged
to have abused the authority of his
office, did an arbitrary act in processing
payments amounting to $2.468 million
to TF Jan Bulldozing without following
proper procedures.
The fourth and fifth accused Liwaiono
and Prasad whilst being employed with
FRA allegedly dishonestly caused a risk
of loss to FRA by falsely verifying the
statement of invoice dated December
31, 2010 amounting to $95,773.52
and supporting documents for T.F.Jan
Bulldozing Company Limited allegedly
knowing that there was a substantial risk
of loss to FRA.
During the same time, it was alleged
that Liwaiono dishonestly caused a risk
of loss to FRA by falsely verifying the
Statements of invoice respectively dated
December 31, 2010, April 4, 2012 and
April 16, 2012 amounting to a total
sum of $315, 417.60 and supporting

Twenty Nine Issues Of Serious Breaches To

Public Sector Accounting And Audit Practices
The 2007 and 2009 Auditor Generals

reports have repeatedly raised twenty
nine issues of serious breaches that are
systemic in nature.
The reports were tabled in Parliament
this week.
These 29 issues relate to public sector
accounting and audit practices.
They included laxity of certain agencies
to comply with public sector accounting
standards and in breach of the public

sector accounting law of Fiji with many
failed to produce an annual report.
On-going problems with the Financial
Management Information System, not
capturing all the revenue and expenditure
activities is also on the list.
Governments guarantor of last resort
for several under-performing agencies,
or projects is also highlighted in the
reports, as well repeated concerns on the

low rate of student loan recovery.
Examples of infrastructure projects being
incomplete, or non-existent, despite full
payment being made.
The Public Accounts Committee will meet
relevant Ministry of Finance officials on a
quarterly basis to be updated on the progress
of rectification of issues highlighted for
each of the relevant agencies.
Fijian Economy On Track Into The First

Half Of The Year
The Fijian Economy is on track into the

first half of the year.
This is according to Permanent Secretary
for Finance Filimoni Waqabaca who
says government has also been working
to ensure our foreign reserves are at
adequate levels and inflation controlled.
With the first business quarter for
government now out of the way, The

economic forecasts for its operations
as we near the first six months of 2015,
already looks promising says the States
money man ..
Waqabaca says that with Foreign
Reserves now at adequate levels, four
months ahead, Manageable debt levels at
a ratio of GDP from 58 percent to 50- percent and Inflation well within the grips of
the State, the horizon looks promising.
But as in any economy there is always an
uphill battle in maintaining the numbers.
He says the way forward from here now
is planning well for the 2016 Budget
keeping the determining factors in mind.
The Speaker of the New Zealand

Parliament David Carter joined
the chorus of support for the Fijian
Governments decision to rejoin the
Inter-Parliamentary Union.
The motion, moved by Prime Minister
Voreqe Bainimarama was endorsed with
unanimous support from both sides of the
House.
Mr Carter said the move to rejoin the
union that boasts 166 members and 10
associate members showed the Fijian
Governments determination to reconnect
with democracy around the world.
A point that I have made strongly on
every occasion is that a good democracy
will require a strong government and
a strong Opposition and in fact if you

dont have a strong Opposition having
its opportunity to hold government into
account, then we wont have a strong
democracy in this country, he said.
Mr Carter is visiting the Fijian Parliament
in a reciprocal visit after Fijian
parliamentarians visited New Zealand
a few weeks ago. Accompanying him
are parliamentarians Phil Goff, Mark
Mitchell, Clerk to Parliament, Mary
Harris and Parliamentary Relations and
Policy Officer, Daniel Tusker.
Mr Carter was impressed with
the development of parliamentary
exchanges, especially with questions and
answers from both sides of the House.
Despite the previously fractured relationships at

political levels between Fiji and New Zealand,
Mr Carter promised continued assistance to his
Fijian parliamentary colleagues.
Theres the opportunity, at New Zealand
cost, for the Speaker of the Fijian
Parliament to come down to meet with
other speakers from the Pacific Region
including myself as we meet with Martin
Chungong Secretary general of IPU.
Another specific offer we made to
Madam Speaker and Secretary- General
is that if we could help with some of the
support structure, he said.
His comments were backed by Phil
Goff, a former senior Cabinet Minister
and Leader of the Opposition.
May 14th marks the one hundred and

thirty-sixth anniversary of the arrival of
the first indentured labourers to Fiji.
The 463 workers who disembarked from
the ship Leonidas were the first of over
61,000 to arrive from South and East
India. Today Indo-Fijians make up just
under half of the population.
Indian High Commissioner to Fiji Gitesh
Sharma says one shouldnt forget his or

her roots.
The indentured laborers who came,
they had their struggles and they made a
huge contribution to the development of
this country.
More than a century after Indentured
Labour began, Indo-Fijians have kept
alive the religion, culture and traditions
brought over by their ancestors.

Welsh Man Travels To US To Allegedly

Rape A 10-Year-Old Girl
A man from Wales accused of traveling

to Oregon to rape a 10-year-old girl he
met through an online chat program
has previously traveled to other states
in the United States, and there might
be other victims, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation said.
The FBI said in a statement that it's working
with local law enforcement agencies in
Oregon and across the US to identify other
possible victims of Gareth Vincent Hall
after his arrest earlier this week.
Hall, 22, is jailed in Eugene on three
counts of first-degree rape, two counts
of first-degree sodomy and one count of
first-degree kidnapping after allegedly
traveling to the city last month and
taking the girl to a hotel.
Hall and the girl spoke for two months
before meeting in early April, Eugene
police said. Hall allegedly picked the girl

up in a rental car.
The girl sneaked out of the house to go
with Hall, who was in Eugene for about
four days before returning to the United
Kingdom, police said.
The Lane County District Attorney's
office issued an arrest warrant for Hall
on April 30. Less than a week later, Hall
was arrested at an airport in Chicago.
Authorities said he was on his way to
meet someone else, but they haven't said
if the person was a girl.
Hall, of Caernarfon, Wales, worked as
a lifeguard before his arrest. However,
the county council of Hall's home region
said in a statement that he had been on
suspension from his job since October
because of a criminal investigation by
North Wales Police.
The statement was provided to The

Eugene Register-Guard by the BBC.
The Gwynedd county council is a
government authority in Wales and
operates the center where Hall worked at
the pool. The council declined to discuss
the investigation.
"Whilst it would not be appropriate for us
to comment on the details of the ongoing
North Wales Police investigation at this
stage, we can confirm that all relevant child
protection procedures have been followed
by the Council in the management of this
case," the statement said.
"Whilst we are aware of separate
allegations relating to this individual
that have recently appeared on US
online news websites, it would not be
appropriate for us to comment on their
contents at this stage."
University Of California Visual Arts Class

Requires Students To Be Naked For Final Exam
Ricardo Dominguez has been teaching

Visual Arts 104A: Performing the Self
for 11 years. The project is entitled, The
Erotic Self.
The class that focuses on the history of
body art and performance art in relation
to the question of the self or subjectivity,
Dominguez described to US TV station
KGTV.
He also stressed that students are offered
the option of being figuratively or
emotionally naked instead.
There are many ways to perform nudity
or nakedness, summoning art history
conventions of the nude or laying bare
of ones traumatic or most fragile
and vulnerable self, the University of
California, San Diego said in a statement.
But one parent is furious over the rule.
It bothers me, Im not sending her to
school for this, she told the reporter.
To blanket say you must be naked in
order to pass my class. It makes me sick
to my stomach.
Dominguez stands by his examination
technique.
At the very end of the class, weve done
several gestures, they have to nude
gesture. The prompt is to speak about or
do a gesture to create an installation that
says, what is more you than you are,
Dominguez said.
Its a standard canvas for performance
art and body art. It is all very controlled.
604.510.4088
If they are uncomfortable with this

gesture, they should not take the class,
Dominguez added.
Dr Jordan Crandall, the chair of the
Visual Arts Department, released the
following statement.
The concerns of our students are our
departments first priority, and Id like to
offer some contextual information that
will help answer questions regarding the
pedagogy of VIS 104A.
Removing your clothes is not required
in this class. The course is not required
for graduation.
VIS 104A is an upper division class that
Professor Dominguez has taught for 11
years. It has a number of prompts for short
performances called gestures. These

include Your Life: With 3 Objects and 3
Sounds and Confessional Self, among
others. Students are graded on the Nude/
Naked Self gesture just like all the other
gestures. Students are aware from the start
of the class that it is a requirement, and that
they can do the gesture in any number of
ways without actually having to remove
their clothes. Dominguez explains this
as does our advising team if concerns are
raised with them. There are many ways to
perform nudity or nakedness, summoning
art history conventions of the nude or
laying bare of ones traumatic or most
fragile and vulnerable self. One can be
nude while being covered.

New Nepal Quake: Hundreds Feared

Dead
A new earthquake killed dozens of

people and spread more fear and misery
in Nepal, which is still struggling to
recover from a devastating quake nearly
three weeks ago that left more than 8000
dead.
The magnitude-7.3 quake, centered
midway between Kathmandu and Mount
Everest, struck hardest in the foothills
of the Himalayas, triggering some
landslides, but it also shook the capital
badly, sending thousands of terrified
people into the streets.
Nepal's Parliament was in session when
the quake hit, and frightened lawmakers
ran for the exits as the building shook
and the lights flickered out.
At least 37 people were killed in the
quake and more than 1100 were injured,
according to the Home Ministry. But that
toll was expected to rise into the hundreds
as reports began reaching Kathmandu
of people in isolated Himalayan towns
and villages being buried under rubble,
according to the U.N.'s Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Tremors radiated across parts of Asia.
In neighboring India, at least 16 people
were confirmed dead after rooftops or
walls collapsed onto them, according to
India's Home Ministry. Chinese media
reported one death in Tibet.
The earthquake that hit April 25 killed
more than 8,150 and flattened entire
villages, leaving hundreds of thousands
homeless.
At least three people were rescued
Tuesday in Kathmandu, while another
nine pulled to safety in the district of

Dolkha, the government said.
Rescue helicopters were sent to mountain
districts where landslides and collapsed
buildings may have buried people, the
government said. Home Ministry official
Laxmi Dhakal said the Sindhupalchowk
and Dolkha districts were the worst hit.
Search parties fanned out to look for
survivors in the wreckage of collapsed
buildings in Sindhupalchowk's town
of Chautara, which had become a hub
for humanitarian aid after last month's
magnitude-7.8 earthquake, the country's
worst-recorded quake since 1934.
Impoverished Nepal appealed for

billions of dollars in aid from foreign
nations, as well as medical experts to
treat the wounded and helicopters to
ferry food and temporary shelters to
hundreds of thousands left homeless
amid unseasonal rains.
Tuesday's quake was deeper, however,
coming from a depth of 18.5 kilometers
(11.5 miles) versus the earlier one at
15 kilometers (9.3 miles). Shallow
earthquakes tend to cause more damage.
Tuesday's quake was followed closely by
at least 10 strong aftershocks, according
to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Dozens Of Queensland Women Were Paid

To Marry Indian Men, Court Hears
DOZENS of young Queensland women were paid thousands of dollars in cash to marry Indian men in an elaborate
visa scam, a court has been told.
One woman said she earned up to
$20,000 for marrying a man shed never
met and recruiting two friends to get
married.
The accused organisers, Indian-born
former migration agent Chetan Mohanlal
Mashru and marriage celebrant Divya
Krishne Gowda, both 35, appeared
in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on
Monday for the first day of a committal
hearing.
Seven young women told the court
they were offered one-off cash sums of
between $1000 and $5000 and ongoing
payments of up to $250 a week to sign
marriage documents partnering them
with Indian men who were seeking
spousal visas to live in Australia.
When I signed the certificate I had
$5000 given to me on that day, said one
witness who was married in 2011.
I also got money every week from my
partner. The court heard many of the
unions took place at a house at Oxley, in
Brisbanes southwest.
Investigators from the immigration
department contacted up to 50 people
who had been married by Gowda after
the alleged scam was exposed in a
newspaper article.
The departments Robert Ansell said
investigators found the same names
appeared regularly on paperwork,
tipping them off to what appeared to be
an organised scheme.
None of those who were married are
facing charges. Visa applications are
on hold pending the outcome of court
proceedings. Some of the brides said they
suspected the marriage was unlawful but
went ahead anyway.

The Mind Diet Provides Some Good News

In The Fight Against Alzheimer's
Chances are you know someone who

is affected by the debilitating effects of
dementia.
The greatest cause of disability in over
the age of 65.
Some positive news emerged recently,
with a new dietary approach thought to
reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's
disease by as much as 35 per cent,
suggesting that lifestyle variables such
as diet may play a much larger role in
neurodegenerative delay than previously
considered.
The study reports the effects of the MIND
(Mediterranean-DASH
Intervention
for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet
which combines principles of both the
Mediterranean Diet for reducing heart
disease risk factors, along with the
DASH diet used to help reduce blood
pressure. The result is a diet that is not
only relatively easy to follow but which
appears to have its own unique effects on
brain health.
The study researched the diets of more
than 900 US residents aged between 58
and 98 years. Specific food questionnaires
determined how closely participants'
diets mimicked a Mediterranean, DASH
or the new MIND diet approach. Over
the 10-year period, participants on
the DASH regime reduced the risk of
developing Alzheimer's disease by 39
per cent compared with 53 per cent for
the MIND regime and 54 per cent for a
traditional Mediterranean approach.
The MIND regimes features 15 dietary
components which includes eating more
of the 10 core healthy brain foods and
fewer of the five unhealthy brain foods
which include fried foods, pastries, butter
and margarine. The core brain foods are
foods rich in nutrients and antioxidants
thought to act on inflammatory pathways;

increase cellular communication and
keep cells healthier over time. And best
of all, researchers found that the diets
did not have to be followed too strictly,
general dietary patterns were enough to
gain these brain benefits.
So whether you have aging parents, or
are simply keen to give your own brain
the best protection again neurological
degeneration, here are the core dietary
habits to put into place, right now.
1. Three serves of wholegrain each day
forget Paleo, the fibre and nutrient rich
grain based crackers, breads, quinoa,
barley and corn benefit this dietary
approach.
2. A whole salad and one other vegetable
each day.
1. Eat more green vegetables. The

antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin may
protect against cataracts and macular
degeneration, so pack your diet with kale,
spinach, turnip greens, collard greens,
romaine lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, corn,
garden peas and brussel sprouts
2. Get an omega-3 boost. The survey found
that nearly half of us arent eating enough
oily fish. The Heart Foundation recommends
eating two to three serves of salmon, trevalla,
mackerel, gemfish and the like each week.
A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids may help
protect adult eyes from macular degeneration
and dry eye syndrome.

3. No more squinting. UVA radiation
penetrates deep into the eye, causing
cataracts and macular degeneration in later
life not to mention the wrinkles caused
by squinting into the sun. Protect yourself
with sunglasses that bear the CE mark and
a wide-brimmed hat as well, which will
block about 50 per cent of UV rays.
4. Ditch the cigarettes. Heres a very scary
stat for you: smokers are four times more
likely to develop macular degeneration
than past smokers or non smokers.
5. Rethink your desk. Ever spent more
3. A glass of wine each day (a standard

drink size).
4. A serve of nuts each day (a serve =
30g or 15-20 mixed nuts).
5. Beans every other day chick peas,
legumes, kidney beans provide soluble
fibre and non-animal protein.
6. Berries and poultry at least twice
a week the berries offer powerful
antioxidants while the poultry can be a
leaner source of protein than red meat.
7. Fish at least once a week aim for
two to three serves of omega 3 rich
fish such as salmon or sardines for the
cardiovascular benefits.
8. Limit unhealthy brain foods fried
and processed foods, added butter or
margarine (1 tbsp a day) and sugary
snacks as much as possible.

Face Scrub: The Hero Of Skincare
Face wash and moisturiser may be a vital part of your skincare regimen, but something that is often neglected is a face
scrub or an exfoliator.
Apart from removing dead skin cells that
form on the surface of your skin, it does
a lot to keep the skin looking and feeling
healthy.
1. REMOVES DIRT: Whether it's
grime from a long day's work or sweat
from a gym session, exfoliating your
skin will give it a deeper clean, prepping
it for the next step which is applying the
moisturiser. A face scrub is a must.
2. TREATS AGING SKIN: When
you hit your thirties, the natural skin
regeneration process slows down. A
face scrub lends a helping hand here by
mimicking skin rejuvenation to boost
aging complexion, giving the skin a new
lease of life.
3. PREVENTS SPOTS: One of the
biggest reasons for spot-prone skin is
build up of sebum (a naturally occurring
oil in the skin), which causes clogged
pores. To avoid this, use a face scrub
twice a week - you'll see your spots and
blemishes disappear.
604.510.4088
4. GIVES YOU FLAKE-FREE SKIN:

A lot of people who have dry skin often
complain of flakes as they are difficult to
control. The solution lies in exfoliation.
Gently rub the face with a face scrub
for a fresh complexion which when
hydrated with a good moisturiser, can
remain absolutely flake-free.
5. IMPROVES YOUR SHAVE: An
exfoliator not only cleans your skin
prior to shaving, but also removes dead
skin cells that clog up your razor, thus
improving razor glide. Moreover, it also
prevents and removes ingrown hair.
FOAMING TIP: Since face scrubs
don't generate a lot of foam, you can mix
a small amount of scrub with a little face
wash to create your own version of a

2-in-1 exfoliator.
IDEAL WAY TO EXFOLIATE: Apply
face scrub in the same way as face wash.
Start with wetting your skin with warm
water before applying a small amount
of scrub to your fingertips. Apply the
product to your whole face in circular
motions.
Pay special attention to areas of concern
(T-section, area to be shaved). Rinse off
to achieve smoother skin.
CAUTION! Stick to using a face scrub
no more than two or three times a week.
Overuse can result in your skin being
stripped of the natural oils it needs to retain
elasticity, thus over-drying your skin.

Control Blood Sugar Levels With Food

You can easily control your blood sugar
levels with the foods you eat.
Regulating blood sugar levels is essential
for good health, to maintain a healthy
weight and to lower the risk of diseases
such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
According to new research published in
the Public Library of Science Medical
Journal, people with high blood sugar
levels are also at an increased risk of
developing cancer.
Much of the food we eat is converted into
blood sugar, which is used by the body
for energy. Problems occur, however,
when we have high or low blood sugar

levels.
Here are the best ways to maintain
healthy blood sugar levels.
Protein: One of the best ways to stabilise
blood sugar levels is by including highquality protein with each meal. The
best sources include lean red meat, fish,
chicken, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds and
tofu.
Chromium: Chromium helps normalise
blood sugar levels and enhance insulin
production. Sources include broccoli,
wholegrain cereals, nuts, mushrooms
and soy beans.

Reducing
sugar:
Reduce
your
consumption of sugary processed foods
such as chocolates, cakes, biscuits,
sugary breakfast cereal and soft drinks.
These foods give a sharp rise in blood
sugar levels.
Fibre: Fibre helps to stabilise blood
sugar levels. It slows the absorption of
glucose from food, which reduces the
sharp rise in blood sugar levels. Best
sources include wholegrain breads and
cereals, brown rice, legumes, fruit and
vegetables.
Discovering A Breast Lump
What to do when finding a breast lump

You wake up one morning, feeling
perfectly fine. You start your day, hop
into the shower and get a shock you've
found a lump in your breast. So what
should you do?
Firstly, don't panic.
Nine out of 10 lumps discovered aren't
cancer. There is a whole range of benign
conditions that cause lumps, such as
simple cysts, which are little fluid-filled
areas in the breast. Or it could be a lump
of tissue that has become a bit overgrown.
Regardless of this, you should always see
your local GP straight away whenever
you notice any kind of change in your
breast. The important message is don't put
off going if you find a change. Should it
be cancer, the earlier it's found the better
your chances are of a good long-term
prognosis. Early detection saves lives.
Watch out for any changes
A change in your breast may not always
come in the form of a lump, so there
are a few different things you should be
aware of.
We encourage women to become breast
aware". That means being familiar with
the look and feel of your breasts so that
if you notice a change you can act on it.
In addition to lumps, look for thickening,
areas of soreness, nipple change, skin
change or shape change.
In addition to self-testing, ask your GP to
check your breasts every two years when
you have your Pap Smear done.
Free mammogram screening is also
offered nationwide for women over
40. The target demographic for free
mammogram screening is 50 to 69
years of age, so this is the only group
who are sent regular reminders. Dont
rely on mammograms alone however,
604.510.4088
a combined approach to checking for

breast cancer works best.
At the moment about 50 per cent of
breast cancers are picked up by the
mammogram screening, the rest are
found because a woman notices a change
or her GP notices a change.
See your GP
If your GP suspects you may have
breast cancer, you will be referred for a
mammogram and a targeted ultrasound.
While a mammogram is a low-dose
radiation X-ray, a targeted ultrasound
has no radiation and is very safe.
The ultrasound gives you extra
information. It will tell if it's a solid lump
or a fluid-filled lump, such as a cyst.
If the combination of symptoms and tests
suggests the lump might be a cancer,
this is where a breast surgeon usually
gets involved. You will be sent for a
core biopsy, under the same ultrasound
machine, which can then be examined
under a microscope.
The system works very well and there
are very clear guidelines about what
happens after that. You would normally
receive the results of a core biopsy within
48 hours, and then you can discuss your
options after that.
Early treatment, good prognosis
The good news is that the long-term
survival rates for early breast cancer
detection are about 90 per cent.
Because breast cancer is so common, we
all know at least one woman who has
died from it, but with early treatment,
most women go on to live long, normal

lives.
We have good diagnostic techniques,
treatments are really improving and we
have evidence-based guidelines so that
no matter where you are in the country
you'll get very consistent care.
"Doing a monthly self-check saved me"
Heather McAlpine, 53, found a lump
while doing a self-check.
"I had been doing monthly checks in
the shower for a while when I found
a lump. I was diagnosed with lobular
cancer, which is very hard to detect. I had
two operations, chemotherapy for five
months, followed by radiation. After my
radiation treatment, my husband took me
to Alaska for six weeks to celebrate. Now
I'm on hormonal treatment, which means I
have to take tablets that kill my oestrogen.
I have another three and a half years on
medication before I get the all clear, but
I'm so glad it was detected early."
"Acting quickly gave me a good
prognosis"
Sarah Singer, 42, found a lump in her
breast 10 years ago.
"Within a week of finding the lump, I
was diagnosed with breast cancer, had
a lumpectomy, a segmental mastectomy
and was told I needed chemotherapy and
radiotherapy. It was a lot to take in. I'm
so thankful I reacted quickly I know
it is partly why my prognosis has been
so good. I now have a styling business
and offer complimentary consultations
to women with breast cancer."

ARIES
EVENTS in the last few days of the

week show how much your position has
improved. Decisions made then allow
you to turn your attention to the nittygritty of change or recent developments.
These include working with friends or
associates and discussing plans for the
future. Do not be disheartened if you go
through several problems. It is a time of
change and each revision adds something
important. Of equal significance is time
with loved ones or offspring. They too are
changing and need your attention. The
week brings you money, but luck forces
you to undertake intense discussion;
nothing could be more productive. A
happy journey comes your way.
TAURUS
WHILE you may face minor

complications, this is an extraordinary
week. Opportunities begin on Monday.
In between you run into fresh ideas, new
people and places. The trick is to show
interest, but commit to nothing until very
late in the game. Life has not always been
kind to you in the past; now is your turn
to make up for lost time. Career offers
are positive and lucrative. Your familys
health is faint and expenses are heavy.
GEMINI
WONDERFUL opportunities thread

their way through this week. But the
planetary emphasis is on obligations to
others, or work and duties to yourself,
which range from your health and wellbeing, to certain troublesome issues.
Initially, these seem uninteresting;
however events around the week make
you confront obstacles. Some involve
partners; many are self-made. On the
1st, putting what you have learned into
action proves more than worthwhile.
Domestic matters are easy. Journeys and
happy holidays come your way.
CANCER
OPPORTUNITIES and dilemmas that

involve money, travel, legal matters and
certain obligations, some of which are
out of your hands, are of considerable
significance. But these may have to take
a back seat to issues of a partnership
nature. Some bring understanding; others
raise uncomfortable but worthwhile
issues. Decide on nothing until after the
this week, then act quickly, since the
pace picks up remarkably and you feel
more than ready to capitalize on what
arises. Cloudy trends persuade you to
take on emotional targets.
LEO
604.510.4088
VIRGO
OPPORTUNITIES taken are inextricably

linked to increased responsibilities.
Though things are going well, you could
nevertheless begin to feel boxed in.
Some obligations are made to yourself
and relate to your physical or even
emotional well-being; others are duties
to others which you really cannot ignore.
Situations early this week force you to
review these and while your first instinct
may be to lighten your load - do not. It
is far better that you work with others,
sharing the burden. Personal happiness
is accented and the more organised you
become, the more time you have to
enjoy happy moments with loved ones.
Your career may go far.
LIBRA
THE events on this week could lead

to a crisis or could be a full-fledged
opportunity, but with the speed of
chance, which remains unclear until the
end of the week. So give everything at
least one try. Furthermore, confusion
could obscure important facts. You are
in the midst of a period of remarkable
development. While nothing can
undermine that, making the best of it
requires a more easygoing approach to
life than is your habit. Developments on
the career scene keep you on your toes.
Socially, a hectic phase.
DURING the week you encounter

opportunities, intriguing people and
even the option of travel. The one
thing you cannot have, however, is the
outcome of endeavour. Obviously, you
are not happy about this. But it is a time
to settle problems from the past that
could potentially trip you up, while you
explore options. Practical, financial and
domestic matters need attention, but are
easily resolved. After that the worlds
your oyster. After this week, decisions
must be made. Until then, leave no stone
unturned. You may think you are sitting
on the fence for some achievement, but
that is the only way.
THE only real mistake you could make is
to assume that others know what you feel
or want. However obvious to you, recent
changes have influenced everyones
priorities, including yours. Further,
discussions could be as important as
any outcome. Remarkable opportunities
could leave you better off financially in
a new home or even madly in love; there
are a few limits, though, to what you can
do or experience. So do not wonder what
might happen or waste time thinking
what the best line of action might be.
Travel may come your way.
THE week is all about practical matters,
where situations demand concentration,
combined with discrimination. Disciplines
that once seemed restrictive are actually
welcome. In fact, they make it easier to
know how to respond to the remarkable
opportunities on this week. Confusion on
the next week requires caution, but nothing
can undermine this remarkable week.
Good news comes your way in business.
SCORPIO
USUALLY it is you who introduces

friends or colleagues to the latest in
people, places or ideas. From late this
week the roles are reversed and as much
as you enjoy the attention, you are
uncomfortable. But let others open doors
for you; this is a time of change and the
broader the spectrum of your experience
the more satisfying is the next chapter
of your life. On matters related to the
family, home or security, there is some
reluctance to give up what is familiar.
But further exploration will not increase
your anxiety; it will only make you more
certain when decision time comes. Be
prudent in your dealings with money
matters.
SAGITTARIUS
CAPRICORN
AQUARIUS
IT is not so much what you do, but achieving

a balance between activities out in the world
and responsibilities close to home that is
your challenge. New people or intriguing
developments make work interesting and life
a joy; particularly with those you love. But
confusion for most of the week could muddy
otherwise clear waters; if you are worried
or feel slighted, discuss your concerns.
Duties of a family or domestic nature could
easily dominate you, but you will regret
allowing them to do so. Each star brings its
own dramas, but also its own remarkable
opportunities. Socially, an upward trend.
PISCES
ONLY sometime ago the stern and rather

humorless Saturn departed from your
sign, leaving you with a lighter and
less complicated life, and with a kind
of new discipline. This week brings
opportunities, interesting new ideas and
people, but you do not know what to make
of them. Take your time, things may not
be what they seem; you will later see the
finest opportunities fruition. Hasty action
achieves nothing. Health causes concern.
Children bring good news.

Moushumi Chatterjees Arrogant

Remark Provokes Rishi Kapoor
Recently, Rishi Kapoor had taken to

Twitter to express his disappointment over
the Twitterati and posted that he might
`retire from Twitter soon as it has given
him only grief.` But it seems the veteran
actor is back in his foot-in-the-mouth
avatar as he has given it back to actress
Moushumi Chatterjee in his own style.
In an interview, Moushumi Chatterjee,
who has co-starred with Kapoor in
movies like 'Ghar Parivaar' and 'Do
Premee' among others, had said that
though she is a Chintu (Kapoor's
nickname) fan, she found him arrogant
at times. She also said that he was a nice
actor but a spoilt brat. Rishi Kapoor, who
is known for his straight forward tweets,
took to Twitter to thank the actress and
called himself mad and childlike. He
also welcomed her back to work.
Moushumi Chatterjee was recently seen
in Shoojit Sircar's recently released
directorial 'Piku' starring Deepika
Padukone,Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Irrfan Khan in the lead roles as a cool
middle-aged woman with a very modern
outlook. 'Piku' also saw Moushumi
Chatterjee share screen space with Big
B after a long gap of 36 years. About the
megastar, the actress said, `I have a lot of
respect for Amitji not just only because
he is a great actor, but given the facelift
he has given to our industry. He is still

way ahead of his generation. I once took
my sister-in-law to meet him and she was
frozen. I am very proud of him.` Of late,
Rishi Kapoor has been taking Twitter by
storm by his tweets and more recently,

he has been posting pictures and posters
from his old movies and commenting
regretfully on them. The `retirement` is
not in his mind for sure.
Peta Criticises Ranveer Singh's Shark

Ad
The visuals of actor Ranveer Singh taking
a dive in the ocean and beating up a shark
in a Rupa Frontline advertisement have
got the People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals (PETA) up in arms.
PETA plans to take the matter forward
by writing to the actor and the brand.
`PETA will be writing to Rupa Frontline
and Ranveer Singh to share our concerns
on behalf of sharks and today's socially
aware youth," said Poorva Joshipura,
PETA India CEO, in a statement.
In the advertisement, the `Gunday` actor
can be seen trying to impress a girl and
diving into the ocean to save her from a
shark. He is later seen thrashing the shark.
The animal rights organisation also
604.510.4088
condemned the gesture of using an

animal to woo someone.
"By recruiting Ranveer Singh, Rupa
Frontline is desperately trying to attract
youth, but nothing shows how utterly out of
touch with youngsters the company actually
is than its depiction of cruelty to animals in
its advertisement. There is nothing sexy
about pretending to beat up an animal, and
nothing that may disgust a girl more.
`The 'ruthless killers' in the human-shark
relationship are actually the humans.
Recent studies indicate that up to 73
million sharks are killed each year,
mainly for their fins, which are put in
soups and eaten mostly in Asia. India is
the second largest shark fishing nation in
the world,` Joshipura added.

This is not the first time Ranveer has
courted controversy. The actor's recent
brush with an issue was when he took
part in the controversial "AIB Roast".

Jacqueline Fernandez Scrapped From

Salman Khan Production 'Hero'
Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez

is quite smitten by Salman Khan these
days. The actress was slated to appear
in a special dance sequence in Bhais
production Hero, which will launch the
careers of Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya
Shetty.
Just days after the news that Jacqueline
Fernandez would be doing a special song
in the Salman Khan production came out,
the song was scrapped from the film!
A source from the production says,
After Kick, Jacqueline is completely
devoted to all things Salman. He only
has to ask, and she will do the needful.
So when he suggested she do the song,
Jacqueline didnt think twice before
giving a nod.
Interestingly, she, along with Sooraj
Pancholi, had already started rehearsing
for the song. However, at the last minute,
the makers decided against including it.
Another source tells us, The films
director Nikhil Advani and the producers
saw the rough cut and decided to skip the
number as the film looks fine without it.
Also, it would have unnecessarily made
it lengthy.
This must be rather disappointing news
for Jackie. After her last box-office dud
with Roy, the actress truly needed some
Salman magic to prop up her career!

The Last Nights (PG)

Last Stands!
Home viewing is now becoming a big
thing. Prices have come down on big
screen tvs so now it's more affordable
and comfortable to sit back and relax at
home. Major league hockey teams like
the Canucks have learned this lesson the
hard way. Why battle exorbitant ticket
prices and gouging for parking ? Now
film studios have seen the advantage of
distributing films by way of cable and
sending new features right to your home
- usually at a lower cost than seeing a
film in the theatre. True it's not quite
the top level experience of viewing
with an audience on a big screen. And
some films truly lend themselves as
must see big screen venue experiences,
like this coming November's next Bond
spectacular, SPECTRE. Still, if you are
an adrenalin junkee and crave exciting
adventure then check out epic in the
making The Last Knights. Known also
as Last Knights this exciting sword play
fantasy is firing up viewers on local
on demand cable thanks to VVS films.
Better call or punch in The Last Knights
on your on demand cable provider Rogers, Shaw or Telus - to have an
enjoyable two hour sit down and set to.
Back in time we go to those
merry ancient times when emperors ruled
the roost and local jurisdictions had to pay
tribute to their masters. Unhappy with the
current arrangement is local land baron
Bartok, a man with pride and honour and
a loyal following. Busy as ever aging
wonder Morgan Freeman (Kiss the Girls)
offers his usual sincere and commanding
presence as a loyal father, husband and
ruler to his people. Unfortunately he runs
afoul of the region's presiding ruler and his
misguided disciple and collector of tribute.
Protected by very loyal Knights
Bartok realizes his days as a free man
may be numbered and enlists the help
of his main protector, Raiden, to help
maintain control. Solid as a rock is
the likeable Clive Owen (The Bourne
Identity), once touted as a candidate to
play James Bond.
Behind the scenes subterfuge, palace
intrigue and smoking hot battles and
604.510.4088
alliances make The Last Knights highly

appealing escapist fun. Pulling out all
the stops is director Kazuaki Kiriya
who delivers a high voltage adventure
By Robert Waldman
set in the lands of castles, moats and

betrayals. Tradition is front and centre in
this engaging story of power, corruption,
survival and redemption

Teenage Depression - Prevention Begins

With Parental Support
Teenage depression can affect nearly

every aspect of your child's life.
Understand what you can do to help
prevent teenage depression, including
possible mental health therapy.
Teenage depression is a serious health
concern that can result in long-lasting
physical and emotional challenges.
Although there's no sure way to prevent
teenage depression, you can take simple
steps to make a difference starting
today.
Offer unconditional support
A strong parent-child relationship can
help prevent depression.
To build or maintain a positive
relationship with your child, you might:
Set aside time each day to talk
-Find out what excites and concerns
your child
-Encourage your child to express his or
her feelings
-Recognize your child's achievements
and praise his or her strengths, whether
it's in academics, music, athletics,
relationships or other areas
-Offer positive feedback when you
notice positive behavior
-Prepare and eat meals together
-Respond to your child's anger with calm
reassurance rather than aggression of
your own
-If your child is reluctant to talk, spend
time in the same room. Even if you're
not talking, a caring attitude can speak
volumes.
Foster friendship and social networks
-Encourage your child to spend time
with friends and to get involved in
extracurricular activities.
-Positive peer experiences and strong
friendships can help prevent depression.
-Playing team sports or taking part in
other organized activities might help,
too, by boosting your child's self-esteem
and increasing his or her social support
network.
At the same time, be alert to the possible
issues associated with early dating. Even
typical romantic experiences, such as
flirting and dating, can be challenging
for teens and might contribute to
symptoms of depression.
Monitor media use
Be wary of movies and TV shows
that feature idealized characters and
situations. If your child routinely gauges
himself or herself against an impossible
ideal, feelings of disappointment or
depression might follow.
604.510.4088
Repeated exposure to negative or violent

content might also aggravate feelings
of depression, perhaps by promoting a
negative or fearful view of the world.
On the flip side, some research suggests
that reading during adolescence might
have the opposite effect perhaps
offering a buffer against depression.
Encourage physical activity
Regular physical activity regardless
of the level of intensity might play a
role in reducing teenage depression and
anxiety.
For adolescents, the Department of
Health and Human Services recommends
one hour or more of physical activity a
day. This includes aerobic activities
such as running, swimming, walking
and jumping rope and musclestrengthening activities, such as climbing
a rock wall or lifting weights.
Promote good sleep
A good night's sleep can help your child
feel his or her best, both physically and
emotionally.
In a recent study, teens whose parents
enforced a bedtime of 10 p.m. or earlier
were significantly less likely to become
depressed than were teens who went to
bed at midnight or later.
In addition to a consistent bedtime,

also consider other principles of good
sleep such as following a consistent
bedtime routine and limiting screen time
just before bed.
Also keep in mind that the relationship
between sleep and depression goes both
ways. Lack of sleep might boost the risk
of depression and depression itself
can make it harder to sleep.
Consider mental health therapy
Family-based depression prevention
programs often using a type of
psychotherapy known as cognitive
behavioral therapy can be helpful,
especially when there's a family history
of depression.
During therapy, a mental health provider
might help you and your child:
-Learn about depression
-Develop skills to handle stress in a
positive way
-Communicate with each other more
effectively
-Understand the effect that stress and
depression can have on a person's life
-Consult a mental health provider about
the options and what might work best for
your child.

Ranking The Top Destinations For Mike

Babcock
The most sought-after prize of the NHL

offseason isn't even going to strap on a
pair of skates next season.
That is, of course, Detroit Red Wings
head coach Mike Babcock.
The winner of a 2007-08 Stanley Cup,
527 career regular season games and
another 82 in the postseason, Babcock
has been at the helm of the Red Wings for
the past 10 seasons, paving the way for
their remarkable success.
With other clubs now able to court him after
receiving permission from the Red Wings,
Babcock has started to make the rounds to
select his potential future coaching position.
Here are the top destinations, ranked
from least likely to most, for the 52-yearold coaching guru.
7. St. Louis Blues
The Blues season didn't go as expected,
yet again.
They had the depth. They won the Central
division. They were a tough out at home and
had home-ice advantage throughout most of
the playoffs. Yet, they came up short, losing
to the Minnesota Wild in the first round.
General manager Doug Armstrong has
said the club won't rush into making
changes and doesn't plan on doing
anything until they lock upVladimir
Tarasenko, but head coach Ken
Hitchcock's days with the team could be
coming to an end, despite his sparkling
reputation. This in turn could leave an
opening for Babcock.
Hitchcock has spent four seasons with the
Blues, never finishing worse than second
in the Central, but it's the playoffs that have
been his Achilles' heel, as he's never taken
a Blues team beyond the second round.
Babcock's playoff success with Detroit
could be appealing to St. Louis, and surely
the coach would love a team with as much
talent as the Blues, so there's a chance of a
marriage here, albeit a small one.
6. Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers are already making changes
all over the organization.
They hired a new CEO in Bob Nicholson,
a new president of hockey operations
and general manager in Peter Chiarelli
and will more than likely select Connor
McDavid with the No.1 pick in the
upcoming NHL Entry Draft.
Next up, a new head coach.
Babcock could be an interesting prospect
for the position, but would the coach who has surely gotten used to winning
- be interested in attempting to lead a
rebuilding - albeit talented - team?
604.510.4088
The Oilers have shown more interest

in ex-San Jose Sharks coach Todd
McLellan as their new bench boss, so
Babcock's chances of landing in the Oil
City appear to be slim.
5. San Jose Sharks
Speaking of McLellan, his former team
is also without a head coach and could
be interested in Babcock.
Despite going through a rigorous and
dramatic regular season that saw the team
miss the postseason for the first time since
2002-03, San Jose still has enough quality
pieces to win, and GM Doug Wilson may
be looking to make a splash with his job
potentially being on the line.
With the club announcing a new lease
agreement to stay at the Shark Tank,
and owner Hasso Plattner looking for a
rebound, San Jose may want to give their
fans something to cheer about. Babcock
could be the answer, though reports say
San Jose has already met with Randy
Carlyle to fill the coaching void.
4. Toronto Maple Leafs
When it comes to any big name, expect
the Maple Leafs to be in the conversation.
The club - who has reportedly already
spoken with Babcock - has plenty of
money and hockey-crazed Toronto loves
a big-ticket signing.
This mentality has burned Toronto in the
past with the signing of busts such as
David Clarkson, Jason Blake and Mike
Komisarek. Furthermore, the team isn't
in a win-now situation as they look to
rebuild under the "Shanaplan" of team
president Brendan Shanahan, but the lore
of coaching the Maple Leafs alone may
be enough bring Babcock to Hogtown.
Babcock isn't a player, but the pressure
would be just as high if he took on the job
in Toronto. The city wants results and the
franchise is not opposed to making changes
if things don't go well - just ask Carlyle and
Ron Wilson - so that, along with the rebuild
process, may be enough to keep him away.
3. Buffalo Sabres
Could Babcock become the Rex Ryan of
hockey in Buffalo?
Team owners Terry and Kim Pegula want to
change sports in the city and have the bread
to do it, but does their plan for the franchise
seem enticing enough to lure Babcock?
The Pegulas and GM Tim Murray
reportedly met with the coach Sunday
and the idea of coaching a potential
superstar, and prospective 2nd-overall
selection, in Jack Eichel - similar to
coaching McDavid in Edmonton - along
with a lucrative offer may be enough.

Add an already impressive talent pool of
Evander Kane, Tyler Ennis, Zach Bogosian,
Rasmus Ristolainen and others to the mix,
and Babcock may bat more than an eye at
the idea of landing with the Sabres.
2. Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers payroll is ridiculous and the
results just aren't there for a franchise
spending that much money.
However, that doesn't mean owner Ed
Snider won't pony up more dough in an
attempt to correct the situation.
Philadelphia - like Toronto - wants to
win now and loves a big-ticket signing,
but the difference in Philly is the Flyers
are actually ready to win now and have
prized pieces such as Claude Giroux,
Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek
with the ability to put them over the top.
Babcock would be a great fit in Philly
and the team needs stability behind the
bench if they hope to turn things around
and get the most out of their money.
1. Detroit Red Wings
With all the hustle and bustle and
speculation about where Babcock may
land, the story may end how it began.
Babcock has an offer on the table from
the Red Wings that would make him
the highest-paid coach in the NHL. He
enjoys working in Detroit as well, so the
question is: why make a change if he's
already comfortable?
The coach could be concerned about
two consecutive conference quarterfinal
losses and how much longer aging stars
Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk are
going to play, but the Red Wings have a
history of proving everyone wrong with
their repeated success.
Babcock could choose to continue to
cement his legacy with the Red Wings,
which would make for a great run of
success in his already storied career.
