The Prime Minister Rear Admiralretired Voreqe Bainimarama saidgovernments immediate goal for2015 is to improve infrastructure for

ordinary Fijians.Bainimarama made the assurance inhis New Year message, saying its timeto put the countrys interest above ourown.Reecting on 2014, Prime MinisterVoreqe Bainimarama hinted whatsexpected from government this year.While much was achieved last year,Bainimarama said theres still more toaccomplish.There is still much to be done to catchup as a nation on the lost years. Theyears we squandered arguing aboutwho deserved more when we shouldhave been building a better futurefor everyone. The years in whichselsh elites put their own interests

above the common good and ordinaryFijians were deprived of some of thenecessities and opportunities of life.said BainimaramaOne of Bainimaramas immediate goal

is to improve the lives of every Fijian.To the many thousands of Fijiansaffected by water cuts in recent times, Iwant to say this: For 50 years, successive

governments neglected to maintain orreplace our pipes. But on the back ofour growing economy, I am determinedto nally x the problem once and forall. The same goes for our roads and

bridges and our transport links withmaritime communities, who didnt seea new ship for nearly 40 years until wecame along. said BainimaramaThe Prime Minister also highlighted

plans for proper structuring of allsectors of the economy.The coming year will be about puttingthe proper structures in place to carryus into the future. The proper structuresin our economy to maintain the growthwe are now experiencing; the properinfrastructure to keep trade owing

and improve our export earnings;the proper restructuring of the CivilService to make it more efcient andimprove its ability to serve our needs. said Bainimarama

Dalo Quality Drops AsDemand Increases

The dalo sold in the market is not asgood as it's supposed to be.These were the words of AgricultureMinistry acting permanent secretaryUraia Waibuta.He said they were not really surprised

about the shortage in dalo as this wasan issue that had been going for quitesome time now.After conducting a survey, the ministrynoticed the demands coming from the

people were high while productionwas low. "Even our export market isaffected because of this situation," MrWaibuta said.

"The problem is because farmersthemselves do not want to plant sowhen they do not want to plant, this isthe implication there is an increasein demand."Farmers are harvesting their dalo at an

early size because the demands comingfrom the people are high."Mr Waibuta said farmers had animportant role to play in the market."Farmers have a very important roleto play and they need to understandhow the market operates and theyshould be consistently producing forthe market."

Company Invests In NewFacility

Bumble Bee Seafood, one of NorthAmerica's largest canned seafood

companies, will work closely with thePacic Fishing Company in Levuka onthe construction of a new cold storagefacility.According to the US-based company,the new facility would replace the

present cold storage, which was about

25 years old."The facility will also increase

throughput as well as lower energycosts associated with production," saidBumble Bee executive vice presidentand chief operating ofcer, Jan Tharp.Ms Tharp told this newspaper severalupgrades were also planned for thefacility between 2015 and 2016.

Ports To IntroduceAutomated System

The Ports Authority will be makingchanges in February or March2015 to increase productivity at ourinternational ports.Thats the phrase of condence fromPorts Terminal Limited when theyintroduce a worldwide automatedsystem it said would streamline PortsTerminals rather obsolete process, thistime next week.The Terminal Operating System helpscontainer, intermodal rail and shippingline terminal operators increasecapacity and optimise operations toincrease efciency, lower costs andimprove productivity.With the system, it also meansa transition from a paper-based

organisation to the paperless andelectronic/automated one.Ports Terminal operations manager,

Nabeel Ali said, the system would focuson ship planning and yard planning asthese were at the top of their concerns.Coordinating a handful of containersgiven the current container yard spacewas difcult as there was a lot of trafcat port.He said with the new system and right

people they were already equipped with,efciency could be taken a step further.We have put a foundation currently

by taking the ship particulars with allrequired information to be fed into thesystem, Mr Ali said.And once the ship planning is up

and running, everything will be prettystraightforward-everything will bedocumented in the system.At the click of a button, exchange ofemails and everything from organisingof ship berths to placing containersin the ship yards would have beenstreamlined.

The Ports Terminal with stakehwould have access to the informthrough the Electronic Data InterchThis system transfers data one computer system to anothstandardized message formwithout the need for human interveFor Lautoka Ports Terminal maSanath Kumara, he said the porundergone many changes.And Just like Suva Ports TermLautoka Ports will not compr

Also we hope to have ancontainer handler.In order to resolves the issuesKumara said they have been discuthe arising matter with Fiji Corporation Limited on a regularwith development has started.The development is also ha

Thursdays autopsies, but noted they werestill struggling to gure out the motivebehind the shocking slayings. Truongand Lam may have been estranged,Acting Deputy Chief Mark Neufeld saidat a news conference Friday."We will chase down everything wecan to try and nd out the reasons why,

because I think it's important butat the end of the day you try to importrational thought sometimes into anirrational act, and a lot of times it justnever comes," he said.Cyndi Duong, 37, was killed at hersouthwest Edmonton home around6:50 p.m. Monday. She was not theintended target of the shooter.Lam was found dead of an apparent

sister Ha Truong sent a text messagefrom the north-end home at 3:45.Tien Truong and her mother failed

to show up at work at 8 a.m. Sunday.When Ha Truong's estranged husbandknocked on the door at that time, noone answered.

around 11 p.m. Monday. The SUV ledpolice to the VN Express Restaurant inFort Saskatchewan, he said.The gun used in the slayings wasregistered in British Columbia in 1997and stolen from Surrey in 2006. Policeare investigating how Lam was able toobtain it.Abuse, threatsEarlier on Friday, court documentsshowed that Lam threatened to killTien Truong and her whole family in2012.Truong gave the testimony in anemergency protection hearing in

Cost Of BecomingCanadian Has Gone Up

Resolving to become a Canadiancitizen in 2015? Its going to be moreexpensive.For the second time in a year, theConservative government has hiked

the fee it charges to make someone acitizen.The new price for processingcitizenship documents has been set at$530 as of Jan. 1, up from the formerlynew price set last February of $300.The government has been anglingto increase citizenship fees for sometime, arguing would-be citizens shouldcover more of the cost of processingtheir applications.In an analysis of the new fees,the Citizenship and ImmigrationDepartment says the higher price willallow it to recoup almost all of the$555 in costs.Put another way, the government saysthats an estimated $41 million it wont

have to spend.In its analysis, the department saidthe fee jump may impose additionalnancial pressures on some people orfamilies.While the analysis assumes thatthere will not be a reduction in overalldemand for citizenship as a result ofthe fee increase, it is acknowledgedthat some may be required to delaytheir application as they will needmore time to save for the new fee, theanalysis says.Overall, in the long term, this willlikely not have a signicant impact on

the uptake for citizenship.When citizenship processing fees wererst increased from $100 to $300 inFebruary, it was the rst time since1995 there had been a raise.

Then, opposition politicians slammedthe jump for appearing haphazard,arguing no specic justication wasgiven for setting the new price.At the time, the government arguedraising the fee to cover the full cost of

processing would be going too far.Increasing the service fees for grantand resumption applications to reect100 per cent cost recovery would haveimposed too large a fee increase andtoo much hardship on applicants, thedepartment said in its analysis for thatfee change.The new fee structure is in additionto the $100 right-of-citizenship feewhich gets returned if a citizenshipapplication is not accepted.

Anyone who applied for citizenshipprior to Jan. 1 2015 will still pay theold fee.The opposition also said that it wasunfair to hike fees when peoplewere waiting years to receive theircitizenship; at the end of 2013, the

backlog of cases was close to 400,000cases.But with the new fees comes a promise

by the government that theyre makingheadway on cutting through the pile.The department says wait times for newcitizens will fall to under 12 months atsome point in the next scal year.

Some Ways To Control High Blood Pressure WithoutMedication

By making these 10 lifestyle changes, you can lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease.

If you've been diagnosed with highblood pressure (a systolic pressure the top number of 140 or above

or a diastolic pressure the bottomnumber of 90 or above), you mightbe worried about taking medication tobring your numbers down.Lifestyle plays an important role intreating your high blood pressure. Ifyou successfully control your blood

pressure with a healthy lifestyle, youmay avoid, delay or reduce the needfor medication.Here are some lifestyle changes youcan make to lower your blood pressureand keep it down.1. Lose extra pounds and watch yourwaistlineBlood pressure often increases asweight increases. Losing just 10

pounds (4.5 kilograms) can help

reduce your blood pressure. Ingeneral, the more weight you lose,the lower your blood pressure.Losing weight also makes any blood

pressure medications you're takingmore effective. You and your doctorcan determine your target weight andthe best way to achieve it.Besides shedding pounds, you shouldalso keep an eye on your waistline.Carrying too much weight around yourwaist can put you at greater risk of high

blood pressure. In general: Men are at risk if their waist

measurement is greater than 40inches (102 centimeters, or cm).

Women are at risk if their waistmeasurement is greater than 35

inches (89 cm). Asian men are at risk if their waistmeasurement is greater than 36inches (91 cm).

Asian women are at risk if theirwaist measurement is greater than32 inches (81 cm).

2. Exercise regularlyRegular physical activity at least 30to 60 minutes most days of the week

can lower your blood pressure by4 to 9 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). And it doesn't take long to see adifference. If you haven't been active,increasing your exercise level canlower your blood pressure within justa few weeks.If you have pre-hypertension

systolic pressure between 120 and139 or diastolic pressure between 80and 89 exercise can help you avoiddeveloping full-blown hypertension. Ifyou already have hypertension, regular

physical activity can bring your bloodpressure down to safer levels.Talk to your doctor about developingan exercise program. Your doctor canhelp determine whether you need anyexercise restrictions. Even moderateactivity for 10 minutes at a time, suchas walking and light strength training,can help.But avoid being a "weekend warrior."

Trying to squeeze all your exercise in onthe weekends to make up for weekdayinactivity isn't a good strategy. Those

sudden bursts of activity could actuallybe risky.3. Eat a healthy dietEating a diet that is rich in whole grains,fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy

products and skimps on saturated fatand cholesterol can lower your blood

pressure by up to 14 mm Hg. Thiseating plan is known as the DietaryApproaches to Stop Hypertension(DASH) diet.It isn't easy to change your eatinghabits, but with these tips, you canadopt a healthy diet: Keep a food diary.Writing down

what you eat, even for just a week,can shed surprising light on yourtrue eating habits. Monitor what

you eat, how much, when and why. Consider boosting potassium.Potassium can lessen the effectsof sodium on blood pressure. The

best source of potassium is food,such as fruits and vegetables,rather than supplements. Talk toyour doctor about the potassiumlevel that's best for you.

Be a smart shopper. Make ashopping list before heading to thesupermarket to avoid picking up

junk food. Read food labels whenyou shop and stick to your healthy-eating plan when you're dining out,too.

Cut yourself some slack.Although the DASH diet is a

lifelong eating guide, it doesn'tmean you have to cut out all ofthe foods you love. It's OK to treatyourself occasionally to foodsyou wouldn't nd on a DASHdiet menu, such as a candy bar ormashed potatoes with gravy.

4. Reduce sodium in your dietEven a small reduction in the sodium inyour diet can reduce blood pressure by2 to 8 mm Hg. The recommendationsfor reducing sodium are:Limit sodium to 2,300 milligrams (mg)a day or less.A lower sodium level 1,500 mg a dayor less is appropriate for people 51years of age or older, and individuals ofany age who are African-American or

who have high blood pressure, diabetesor chronic kidney disease.To decrease sodium in your diet,consider these tips:Track how much salt is in your diet.Keep a food diary to estimate howmuch sodium is in what you eat anddrink each day.Read food labels. If possible, chooselow-sodium alternatives of the foodsand beverages you normally buy.Eat fewer processed foods. Potatochips, frozen dinners, bacon and

processed lunch meats are high insodium.

Don't add salt. Just 1 level teaspoon ofsalt has 2,300 mg of sodium. Use herbsor spices, rather than salt, to add more

avor to your foods.Ease into it. If you don't feel like youcan drastically reduce the sodium inyour diet suddenly, cut back gradually.Your palate will adjust over time.5. Limit the amount of alcohol youdrinkAlcohol can be both good and bad foryour health. In small amounts, it can

potentially lower your blood pressureby 2 to 4 mm Hg. But that protectiveeffect is lost if you drink too muchalcohol generally more than onedrink a day for women and men olderthan age 65, or more than two a dayfor men age 65 and younger. Also,if you don't normally drink alcohol,you shouldn't start drinking as a way

to lower your blood pressure. There'smore potential harm than benet todrinking alcohol.If you drink more than moderateamounts of it, alcohol can actuallyraise blood pressure by several points.It can also reduce the effectiveness ofhigh blood pressure medications. Track your drinking patterns.

Along with your food diary, keepan alcohol diary to track your truedrinking patterns. One drink equals12 ounces (355 milliliters, or mL)of beer, 5 ounces of wine (148 mL)or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor(45 mL). If you're drinking morethan the suggested amounts, cut

back.

Consider tapering off. Ifyou're a heavy drinker, suddenlyeliminating all alcohol can actuallytrigger severe high blood pressurefor several days. So when you stopdrinking, do it with the supervisionof your doctor or taper off slowly,over one to two weeks.

Don't binge. Binge drinking having four or more drinks in arow can cause large and suddenincreases in blood pressure, inaddition to other health problems.

6. Avoid tobacco products andsecondhand smokeOn top of all the other dangers ofsmoking, the nicotine in tobacco

products can raise your blood pressure

by 10 mm Hg or more for up to an hourafter you smoke. Smoking throughoutthe day means your blood pressuremay remain constantly high.You should also avoid secondhandsmoke. Inhaling smoke from othersalso puts you at risk of health problems,including high blood pressure and heartdisease.7. Cut back on caffeineThe role caffeine plays in blood

pressure is still debatable. Drinkingcaffeinated beverages can temporarilycause a spike in your blood pressure,

but it's unclear whether the effect is

temporary or long lasting.To see if caffeine raises your

pressure, check your pressure w

30 minutes of drinking a cup of cor another caffeinated beverageregularly drink. If your blood preincreases by ve to 10 pointsmay be sensitive to the blood prraising effects of caffeine.8. Reduce your stressStress or anxiety can tempoincrease blood pressure. Take time to think about what causeto feel stressed, such as work, fanances or illness. Once you what's causing your stress, conhow you can eliminate or reduce sIf you can't eliminate all of stressors, you can at least copethem in a healthier way. Take bfor deep-breathing exercises. G

massage or take up yoga or meditIf self-help doesn't work, seek professional for counseling.9. Monitor your blood pressuhome and make regular docappointmentsIf you have high blood preyou may need to monitor your

pressure at home. Learning tomonitor your blood pressure wiupper arm monitor can help moyou. Talk to your doctor about monitoring before getting startedRegular visits to your doctor arlikely to become a part of your nroutine.

A word of caution: some childrenmay nd toilet training discouragingor humiliating if they have too many

accidents in underwear. So it is agood idea for the child to have some"successes" either in diapers or pull-ups before you put underwear on.With these thoughts in mind, we aregetting closer and closer to independenttoileting. Making sure your child is both

physically and psychologically ready,and setting the stage are two of the mostimportant steps in toileting success!OK! We're ready to start toilet training!By the time you've nished with the

preparation (discussions, videos,books), purchasing the potty chair andunderwear/pull-ups, most children willhave started making some associations

between peeing/pooping and the potty.For some it may be peeing in his/her

diaper, announcing that she needs to peeand running to the potty after the fact.For others, it may be actual successes onthe potty. And yet, for others it may bethe mere recognition of peeing in his/herdiaper. This is the time to start watchingyour child's body signals closely.Most children will have a tell tale stance,facial expression ("the look"), or routine(running to another room) when havinga bowel movement. When you noticethat your child is about to have a bowelmovement (especially helpful if there isa particular time of day your child doesit) this is the time to say "Shall we gosit on the potty?" If willing, take yourchild to the potty. Sometimes reading

books will help your child relax while

sitting on the potty. However, this mayalso end up being a "reading fest" so Iwould try to limit the book reading toonly what's necessary. Additionally,some children may want "privacy" andhelping them sit on the potty and thenleaving (letting them know that whenthey are done they should let you know)may prove the most successful.Recognizing when your child is urinatingis a bit harder. Some children, especiallyas they get older and are voiding lessfrequently, will stop momentarily to

pee. Some will even squat. Frequentlywatching their uid intake is morehelpful. If your child has had a largeamount of uid, taking him/her to the

potty 30 minutes to an hour after drinking

will maximize success, and help yourchild recognize the connection betweenbladder fullness and peeing.Every child is different, and somechildren will be "bowel" trained before

being "bladder" trained and vice versa.Whichever may be rst, keep in mindthat it is usually one before the other andnot both simultaneously. Additionally,day-time dryness almost always comes

before night-time dryness and mayprecede it by several months.Now that the process has started, here aresome additional things to keep in mind:Patience! Patience! Patience!

Toilet training is a big process. Someexperts feel that it is the rst and biggestdevelopmental step your child will take.The process generally takes severalweeks to several months to complete.

Two steps forward, one step back.Don't be discouraged if you have a fewgood days followed by a few bad. Again,it's a process that's going to take time.Also keep in mind that when your childis tired or upset this is the most commontime for accidents or setbacks to occur.Know when to back offIf you are pushing too hard, your childmay "push" back with more accidentsand/or resistance. Take the control out ofthe issue and step back. It is ok to take afew days or even few weeks "off" . Yourchild will recognize the power struggle isgone and relax and respond to it.A nal word:As hard as it may be toadmit or realize, toilet training is trulyin the control of your child. All you can

do is be supportive and encouragingand set the stage for success. Keep inmind that your child will probably betoilet trained when she is ready, NOTnecessarily when you are ready. If youare experiencing major difculties, itmay be time to sit back, re-examine thesituation and ask yourself if your childis truly ready (see article on readiness).If you are meeting up with a lot ofresistance in a child that is ready, it istime to examine those issues.While most children show signs of

physical readiness to begin using the toiletas toddlers, usually between 18 monthsand 3 years of age, not all children havethe intellectual and/or psychologicalreadiness to be potty trained at this age.

Signs of physical readiness can includeyour being able to tell when your childis about to urinate or have a bowelmovement by his facial expressions,

posture or by what he says, stayingdry for at least 2 hours at a time, andhaving regular bowel movements.Signs of intellectual and psychologicalreadiness include being able tofollow simple instructions and beingcooperative, being uncomfortable withdirty diapers and wanting them to bechanged, recognizing when he has afull bladder or needs to have a bowelmovement, being able to tell you whenhe needs to urinate or have a bowelmovement, asking to use the potty chair,or asking to wear regular underwear.

Things to avoid when toilet training yourchild, and help prevent resistance, arebeginning during a stressful time or periodof change in the family (moving, new

baby, etc.), pushing your child too fast,and punishing mistakes (treat accidentsand mistakes lightly). Be sure to go at yourchild's pace and show strong encouragementand praise when he is successful.Even after he begins to use the potty,it is normal to have accidents and forhim to regress or relapse at times andrefuse to use the potty. The process of

being fully potty trained, with yourchild recognizing when he has to go

to the potty, physically goes to thebathroom and pulls down his pants,urinates or has a bowel movement inthe potty, and dresses himself, can taketime, often up to three to six months

for most children. Having accidents oroccasionally refusing to use the potty isnormal and not considered resistance.While it is recommended that you don'tinsist that he sits on the potty and you should

be prepared to delay training if he showsresistance, at some point if his resistanceto using the potty persists, especially afterhe is 3 -3 1/2 years old, then you shouldconsider him resistant to potty training andyou will need to change your methods.Early on in the training, especially if yourchild is less than 3 - 3 1/2 years old, resistanceshould be treated by just discontinuingtraining for a few weeks or a month andthen trying again. At this age (18 months to3 years), resistance is usually because yourchild just isn't ready to begin training.

Potty training resistance usuallyoccurs because your child has had abad experience at some point duringpotty training, especially if he wasstarted before he was intellectually or

psychologically ready. Other times,especially with strong willed orstubborn children, it may have nothingto do with your technique or timing,and you may have done nothing wrong.Reasons for developing a resistanceto

potty training can include: being scared to sit on the potty

chair ushing the toilet may have scared

him from wanting to sit on thetoilet

being pushed too early or fast

before he was ready severepunishment for not using the pottyor being forced to sit on the potty

inconsistent training, especiallyamong different caregivers

he may have had a painful bowelmovement from being constipated. Ifthis is the case, treat his constipationand wait until he is having regular,soft bowel movements before you

begin training again. or he may just be stubborn and

is involved in a power strugglewith his parents and is using hiscontrol over where he has a bowelmovement

he may enjoy the negative attentionhe gets from not using the potty or

from having accidents although rare, there are medicalconditions that can make it difcultfor your child to hold in or de
