MIRI: The people here have mixed feelings about the decision made by Bersih 2.0 organisers to go ahead with the July 9 rally but in a stadium and not on the street. The decision was announced by its chairperson Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan after an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin at Istana Negara on Tuesday. tiffany uk shop
Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau said he was always against illegal rallies because it could bring about many negative consequences to the people and country.“I thank God for His intervention through Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. They have prevented untold disaster from happening by getting the proposed Bersih 2.0 street rally off the street,” he told The Borneo Post yesterday. Dennis, who is also Telang Usan PBB Youth chief and deputy information chief of PBB Youth, said he believed the rally organised must have thought they could achieve whatever agenda they might have on the streets. “The aftermath of previous street rallies held in our country and in other counties is for all to see. tiffany necklace
Even when the organisers guaranteed that their rallies would be peaceful, untold destruction to properties and injuries to people often happened,” he said. Dennis believed that the July 9 rally was politically motivated based on its timing and the people behind it. “I’m also perplexed with the reason given in support of the street demonstration by Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the Menteri Besar of Selangor. He said that the rally was to voice the demands of the people and it was for the future generation. What kind of example is there to be learned by our young generation with all the chaos created by illegal rallies?” Dennis added that Telang Usan PBB Youth supported all initiatives taken by the government, and that include joining other BN Youth members to mount counter rallies if requested to do so. Piasau assemblyman Alan Ling Sie Kiong, meanwhile, said he respected the decision of Bersih 2.0 to call off the street rally. tiffany mens necklace
It is a “positive step” and a clear show of respect for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. “The onus now lies with the Najib administration to lift the ban on Bersih 2.0. Up to now some 200 arrests have been made by the police based on unjustifiable grounds such as wearing Bersih t-shirts. “The police must drop the charges immediately and release those under remand, such PKR’s Zulhaidah Suboh. The Home Minister should also release all six individuals detained under the Emergency Ordinance (EO), including Sungei Siput MP Dr. Jayakumar.” Meanwhile, Peter Kallang, who is the chairman of Persatuan Kenyah Miri (PKM) and Orang Ulu National Association (Miri), described the eight demands by Bersih as “reasonable and necessary”. This is because the eight points are some of the basic characteristics which are “justifiably expected of a country which is elected by and answerable to the civil society”.
tiffany necklace silver“These demands are not new as they have been in the public arena for a long time, yet the responds could either be pending or not fulfilling. So I can well understand why the rally is the next step.” Peter said Ambiga and her boys had clearly showed they are reasonable people and one who were willing to listen to reason by taking the rally off the streets and into a stadium after the audience with the King. He added that holding the rally in a stadium is perhaps the best alternative to avoid irresponsible elements from hijacking the event for their own immoral objectives. “My view is that we must keep the original objective of the even foremost in our mind. tiffany necklace white gold
The objective of the event is inclusive and good for every Malaysian, irrespective of background, so that we will continue to progress as responsible society upholding justice for each one of us. “An open, transparent and just society is vital to achieve developed nation status by 2020.” China's food and drug regulator has ordered a ban on eight products manufactured by four mainland-based companies after they were found to be tainted with an industrial chemical. In a circular issued Saturday, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) asked catering firms to immediately stop purchasing or using the banned products, which inspectors have found to be contaminated with DEHP, a plasticizer that may cause hormonal malfunctions in children if consumed in large doses.

The other three banned products are osmanthus, green tea and almond flavoring additives produced by a food additive manufacturer based in the city of Hangzhou in east China's Zhejiang Province. The SFDA urged tightened inspection efforts from food safety workers at local levels in order to prevent local catering enterprises from purchasing or using the above-mentioned eight products. tiffany earrings
Listed products that have already been purchased by catering firms should be sealed immediately and recalled, the SFDA said. Local food safety inspection agencies have been asked to make daily reports concerning any new findings regarding the eight problematic food additives. The Chinese mainland has halted imports of 948 products made in Taiwan, including beverages, food products and food additives, that were believed to be tainted with the chemical, DEHP. tiffany cufflinks
Pandora Charms for bracelets ROME (AP) — A U.N. agency says rising sugar prices pushed up global food prices once again in June after a brief lull. The Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization said Thursday its price index rose 1 percent during the month. Despite the increase, food prices are still 4 percent below the all-time high recorded in February. It said improved weather conditions and Russia's lifting of its export ban on wheat helped contain prices. However, experts have warned that prices are expected to remain volatile for years to come due to declining stockpiles and only modest increases in production. Food prices have remained stubbornly high despite a massive drop in the price of corn in the United States, with prices of basic good reaching near-record highs in June.
Pandora Charms OnlineAccording to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the price of sugar rose 14%, pushing up the price of other goods as well, due to high demand and a fall in production in Brazil. The food price index maintained by the FAO reached 234 points in June, just short of February’s 239 points. The price of sugar is largely responsible for the increase, cancelling out the drop in the price of corn and wheat recently. The Food and Agriculture Organisation’s index looks at the prices of various food goods, including cereals, oilseeds, dairy, meat and sugar. Food shortages in the Horn of Africa due to droughts are creating what the UN is calling a human tragedy of “unimaginable proportions”. Two recent day camps in Fremont County, Iowa, packed in the kids. Pandora Beads Charms
Thirty-one youths participated in the Iowa State University Extension Food Experiment Day Camp for grades four through six, held at the Fremont County Fairgrounds in Sidney. Campers learned about the many things they could make with everyday food items and their imaginations. Hands-on crafts, games and snacks were a part of the camp. Activities included a fruit race and making Oobleck, playing dough, butter and muffins. Twelve 4-H members in grades eight through 12 helped. Day camp coordinator for the Food Experiment Camp was Emily Aistrope, Fremont County program assistant. The Animal Extravaganza Day Camp drew 16 Fremont County youths for the Iowa State University Extension program. Pandora Charms Sale
Those attending spent the day learning about swine, beef and animals in the wild. Campers made their own animal tracks, and learned about animals in their natural habitat and how to distinguish between different animal footprints. Leah Woodland from Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo taught the kids about wild animals such as lions, zebras and snow leopards. The kids also learned about deep sea fishing and got to see skeletons of animals found in the sea. Nine 4-H members in grades eight through 12 were counselors and craft presenters. A Lincoln student enrolled in the Science Focus Program of the Lincoln Public Schools took second-place honors at the National History Day Contest.

tiffany necklaceANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration expects this fall's special legislative session on congressional redistricting will be convened in the week of Oct. 17, an O'Malley spokesman said Tuesday. While the governor has not yet formally announced the exact date for the session, O'Malley is planning to call it sometime that week, Rick Abbruzzese said. The Maryland legislature typically meets for a 90-day session beginning in January, but lawmakers need a special session to re-draw the state's eight congressional districts based on the results of the census. If lawmakers only take up congressional redistricting, the session is not expected to last more than a few days. Some lawmakers have suggested introducing legislation in addition to redistricting to raise revenue for the state's badly depleted Transportation Trust Fund. cheap tiffany and co
Although lawmakers will be able to introduce legislation when they gather for the special session, it's unclear how much support exists to take on challenging revenue measures. House Speaker Michael Busch, D-Anne Arundel, said Tuesday he has not had any discussions yet about taking up issues other than redistricting during the special session. He also questioned why lawmakers should hold a long special session to work on tough legislation without clear consensus, when lawmakers will gather for their regular session in January. "There is no reason to take up an issue that there's not an agreement on other than redistricting," Busch told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday. Senate President Thomas V. tiffany mens necklace
Mike Miller, D-Calvert, indicated in a letter to O'Malley in May that he was interested in expanding the scope of the special session to work on some high-profile issues, including the state's structural deficit, shifting some teacher pension costs to local governments and transportation funding concerns. Miller could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday. Earlier this year, a state commission recommended that Maryland raise $800 million more in annual transportation funding to shore up the transportation revenues. tiffany necklace silver
O'Malley, a Democrat, has expressed interest in moving away from a traditional flat tax on gasoline, because new cars and trucks are now designed to use less gas. "The governor is still considering whether to address the Transportation Trust Fund in a special session or wait until the next regular session," Abbruzzese said Tuesday. The recommendations by the state's Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding included applying the state's sales tax to gasoline. Currently, the state has a 23.5 cents per gallon gas tax, which was last raised in 1992. A five-member panel that meets publicly for the first time on Wednesday will make recommendations to the governor for redrawing Maryland's eight congressional districts. tiffany necklace white gold
The commission also will submit recommendations for reconfiguring state legislative districts. The governor will introduce that plan in a joint resolution to the General Assembly on Jan. 11, the first day of the legislative session. Lawmakers will have 45 days to either approve the governor's plan or pass an alternative plan. If a plan is not passed in 45 days, the governor's plan becomes law as submitted. tiffany bracelet
Houston police said James Onak, 49, hit Fadel Steadman, 32, on the Gulf Freeway near Fuqua Street about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. Detectives said Steadman's body went through the windshield of Onak's Mazda 626 and ended up in the front passenger seat. Onak kept going and did not stop until a deputy constable pulled him over more than three miles away from the scene, police said. Steadman's vehicle had broken down on the freeway, investigators said. cheap tiffany charms
Onak's attorney said his client is still reeling from the fatal crash. "He really is torn up about the accident. His heart, his family -- they're really saddened by what happened to the Steadman family," attorney Stanley Schneider said. Onak is an accountant, married and the father of three. tiffany charms for bracelet
He has no previous criminal history. Investigators said Onak said he thought he hit something, but he did not notice the body next to him. "One thing I don't understand is how do you not know you have a body in the passenger seat of your car? How drunk was you?" said Toni Steadman, the victim's mother. "Often times, bad things happen to good people, and accidents happen and it was an unfortunate accident that occurred," Schneider said. Schneider would not discuss the details of the case and said the whole story will come out in court. tiffany accessories
He said Onak's family is trying to deal with the shock of Steadman's death and the media scrutiny that has followed. "They were in shock about the accident. They were in shock about what happened. They were in shock about the death. The feeling of sorrow for the man that died. Reporters should show respect for the man who died and coming over and banging on the door trying to get a story doesn't help anybody," Schneider said. tiffany lock key ring
Onak faces a misdemeanor DWI charge and a felony charge for accident involving an injury. He has been released from jail on bond. He will appear in court on Friday morning for an arraignment. A man has become the first person in Scotland to be convicted of illegally recording in a cinema and uploading films for profit. Christopher Clarke pleaded guilty to a charge under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. The 25-year-old was sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court to 160 hours of community service. Clarke was caught after an operation between police, Cineworld and the Federation Against Copyright Theft. The Crown Office said it was a landmark conviction for illegal recording in a Scottish cinema. cheap tiffany accessories
John Dunn, area procurator fiscal for Glasgow, said: "Christopher Clarke repeatedly pirated films from cinema screenings and uploaded them to the internet for profit. "Piracy is by no means a victimless crime - it undermines legitimate businesses and the arts sector as a whole, and can be used to channel money into organised crime. cheap tiffany rings sale
"I hope this sends a strong message to all those who believe that they can remain anonymous solely because they commit their crimes over the internet. "They should beware that the investigative authorities of Scotland work tirelessly to remain at the forefront of forensic computer analysis and technological specialism - we can and will track down those who pirate films, whether the profit is made in cyberspace or a marketplace."
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police Thursday searched for a 15-year-old boy from India who vanished in Los Angeles a week ago after arriving with a group for an educational tour of California. Five LA detectives flew to San Francisco to interview members of Lovedeep Singh's tour group at the Indian Consulate, Lt. Darnell Davenport said. Singh, who speaks Hindi and only limited English, was snapping photographs in front of a hotel across the street from the University of Southern California when he vanished on the morning of June 23.

He and his 10-year-old brother were in a group of about 30 people who had just arrived for an educational trip that was to include local tourist spots. Singh apparently remained outside when the rest of the group went into the Radisson Hotel. His absence was noticed when a head count was taken an hour later and group leaders discovered they were "one body short," said Davenport, commanding officer of detectives in the Police Department's Southwest Division. The teen has not been heard from since. A language barrier made it difficult for police to question other members of the tour group, who later continued their trip in San Francisco. They were scheduled to fly home Friday. There was no sign that Singh met with foul play, but "as each day passes, our concern heightens," Davenport said. "He doesn't really speak English.

Where would he go? Who would he communicate with? Where would he stay every night? He's 15 years old," Davenport said. "We're concerned that he befriended someone over the Internet, maybe they came and picked him up," Davenport said. "He has a substantial amount of money in his pocket." The boy was described as 5-foot-8, weighing 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray shirt and tan pants and carrying a red backpack. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Six weeks after Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed he had fathered a child out of wedlock, his wife Maria Shriver filed divorce papers Friday to end their marriage of 25 years. The former television journalist and Kennedy family heir cited irreconcilable differences but offered no additional details about the breakup. She also did not list a date when the couple separated, although they announced they had done so on May 9.
Pandora Charms Online A week later, the former action film star and former governor admitted he fathered a child with a member of his household staff years ago. Shriver's filing does not indicate the couple has a prenuptial agreement, which likely means Schwarzenegger's earnings from his career as a Hollywood megastar will be evenly divided with his estranged wife. The couple were married in 1986 and have four children together, including two sons who are still minors. Shriver's petition seeks joint custody of the couple's sons, ages, 17 and 13. Schwarzenegger's spokesman Adam Mendelsohn declined comment in an email.
Pandora Charms for bracelets Shriver's attorney Laura Wasser did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment. Shriver stood by her husband's side as he ran for California's governorship in 2003 even after the Los Angeles Times reported accusations by several women that they had been groped by the movie star. Schwarzenegger later said he "behaved badly sometimes" and was twice elected to the governorship. He failed to fix the state's chronic budget problems and left office in January with an eye toward environmental projects and a return to the big screen.
Pandora Jewelry One of his projects was an animated collaboration with comic book legend Stan Lee titled "The Governator," but the project was shelved after Schwarzenegger admitted fathering the child out of wedlock. Shriver placed her journalism career on hold while her husband served as governor, and her future has been more uncertain. She has appeared in videos posted on YouTube in which she talks about stress in her life, the weight of expectations and the search for faith in a troubled world. The filing was first reported by celebrity website TMZ. Pandora Earrings
