The Official Newsletter of Heroes and Dragons
Issue # 8.9.1 — July 21, 2003
Sorry for the overnight delay in this week's issue of Dragon's Breath.
A combination of technical problems slowed down yesterday's production, but we've resolved most of them. We still haven't posted this week's New This Week list, but we should have that up soon. Please check back tonight or tomorrow morning.
This year's Comic-Con International has left us with all kinds of news nuggets. Since this is the biggest week of the year for comics news, we're going to forego our regular features for a special all-news issue of Dragon's Breath.
Paul Gulacy will replace Cameron Stewart as artist on Catwoman beginning with issue # 25. more
Former Catwoman artist Darwyn Cooke has revealed new background on his eagerly-awaited 6-issue mini-series The New Frontier. (The series is a non-canonical interpretation of DC's Silver Age.) more
Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's long-anticipated Harley & Ivy mini-series (set in the world of Batman Adventures) is finally on the schedule for 2004. Dini describes the book as "a screwball comedy." more
Howard Chaykin and David Tischman (writers of American Century) will unleash a new vampire book called Bite Club at Vertigo. Despite the silly-sounding title, Chaykin promises to recast the vampire genre "as a metaphor for ethnic assimilation." Private Beach creator David Hahn is the artist. more
Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, and Phil Winslade will produce a new ongoing series called The Monolith, about "the living embodiment of New York City ... an urban legend come to life." The series will be set in the DCU. more
Palmiotti and Gray will also write a 6-issue mini-series called The Twilight Experiment, with artist Juan Santacruz.
Judd Winick's next project is a 12-issue Jewish crime drama called Caper. Farel Dalrymple, John Severin, and Tom Fowler will provide the art. more
Andy Diggle (The Losers) will write a new Swamp Thing mini-series with art by Enrique Breccia. Titled Bad Seed, the series will feature Tefé, John Constantine, and Sargon the Sorcerer.
Steven Seagle explained the concept behind his and Teddy Kristiansen's upcoming Superman graphic novel for Vertigo, It's a Bird. The book is a collection of 20 short stories, each addressing the question of how Superman would work in the context of the real world. Seagle compared the book to Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's 1989 Batman graphic novel Arkham Asylum.
Seagle will also experiment with a new format in Vertical, a 4" wide by 22" tall Vertigo comic about "two lovers who fall off of high places on purpose." Mike Allred is the artist on the book. more
Alan Davis will write and draw JLA: Another Nail, a sequel to his Elseworlds mini-series The Nail.
Kurt Busiek has a DC project in the works called Superman: Secret Identity.
A 64-page one-shot from Ed Brubaker and Steve Dillon will tell the story that began in the last panel of "Batman: Year One" — namely, the story of the Joker's first modern age appearance.
The Joker will also turn up in London in Devin Grayson and John Bolton's graphic novel Batman: The Switch. more
Speaking of the Joker, he'll go on a sniper spree in the pages of Gotham Central and kill a prominent Gothamite. (Newsarama tells you who, if you want to know.) Harvey Bullock may return as a cast member in Gotham Central, but he probably won't be rejoining the GCPD.
And speaking of Steve Dillon, he'll reunite with Preacher co-creator Garth Ennis for a new ongoing series called City Lights.
While we're on the subject of lights, Batman: City of Light is an 8-issue mini-series about an architect who wants to redesign Gotham as a city without shadows.
Neil Gaiman will re-launch Books of Magic as an "executive producer" on the new series. British television writer Si Spencer will provide the scripts. The series will feature an adult Tim Hunter and be set "in the near future."
Jill Thompson may do another manga-style Endless story in 2004 — possibly featuring Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland, the "Dead Boy Detectives" from "Season of Mists."
Grant Morrison will "honor one of the world's greatest religions in a way it's never been honored before" in Vinanarama — a series Newsarama calls "an Islamic sci-fi love story."
Morrison will work with frequent collaborator Frank Quitely on at least two new projects in 2004 — one for Vertigo and one "very big project set in the DCU."
Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files will fill in the gap between Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day # 3 and the first issues of Teen Titans and Outsiders.
The JLA will appear in Teen Titans # 6.
Black Lightning will appear in Outsiders # 8 and 9. The Huntress will appear in several issues and may even join the team.
Jeff Smith's Captain Marvel project will be called Shazam!: Monster Society of Evil.
Sam Kieth will be back in 2004 with a mini-series titled Scratch.
Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee reminded everyone of their upcoming Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde mini-series, which pits Batman against Two-Face.
And Brian Azzarello reminded people of his collaboration with Joe Kubert on the soon-to-be-released Sgt. Rock: Between Hell and a Hard Place hardcover.
Michael Uslan (Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating the DC Universe) is writing an upcoming Batman project called Batman: Detective # 27. One account describes this as a re-telling of Batman's origin, another describes it as an Elseworlds, and still another describes it as account of Bruce Wayne's short career with the police department.
Alan Moore is planning the end of the ABC line, but the exact details are still sketchy. Some books may be taken over by other creators. Don't write off long-promised projects like The 49ers and Comet Rangers just yet — Gene Ha is already halfway through with the art for 49ers!
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 3 will feature Mina Harker and involve time travel. Expect to see other incarnations of the League throughout history, possibly even the 1950s incarnation Moore and O'Neill have mentioned in the past. The series will be published by WildStorm, not ABC.
As soon as Local Heroes is finished, Kurt Busiek will begin a massive 12-part Astro City epic called The Dark Age. The story is based on Busiek's unused proposal for Marvels II. more
Steve Lieber and José Luis García-Lopez will be the artists on the next two graphic novels in Max Allan Collins's series On the Road to Perdition.
The next two JSA story arcs will deal with the new Crimson Avenger and the mysterious plans of Black Adam. In the first story, Geoff Johns will explain the secret of Wildcat's "nine lives." Following the Black Adam story, Johns will tackle lingering questions about Power Girl's origins. Ma Hunkel, the Golden Age Red Tornado will make an appearance in the coming year.
Kevin J. Anderson and Barry Kitson will do a JSA: Lord Dynamo mini-series.
The Martian Manhunter and Plastic Man will return to JLA in the 6-part bi-monthly storyline "Trial by Fire."
Sometime after the conclusion of "Trial by Fire," JLA will start having a rotating creative team. Each team will handle a single arc then step aside to make room for a new team. Teams already scheduled include Chris Claremont & John Byrne and Denny O'Neil & Tan Eng Huat. Future JLA creators will include Bill Willingham, Howard Chaykin, Gail Simone, Dan Slott, and Kilian Plunkett.
Once the rotating teams start on JLA, Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke will launch a 12-issue spin-off series, Justice League Elite.
Guy Gardner will join Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Fire, Ice, and Max Lord next year in a sequel to Formerly Known as the Justice League. The new mini-series will be called I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League.
Paul Chadwick will draw two issues of Y—The Last Man.
DC plans to make the entire 70-issue run of Sandman Mystery Theatre available in trade paperback. Expect the new trades to start as soon as the collection of Morrison's 26-issue Animal Man run is complete. (Three cheers for DC!)
On the hardcover front, DC is planning Archives collections of Adam Strange and the Golden Age Sandman. Wendy and Richard Pini's ElfQuest may get the Archives treatment later on.
Michael Golden will be the new cover artist for StormWatch: Team Achilles.
Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale will work together on a follow-up to Batman: The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. The mini-series Catwoman: When in Rome will deal with Catwoman's absence from Dark Victory.
100 Bullets will go bi-monthly during Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's run on Batman.
Fiona Avery will write the next Thundercats mini-series, Hammerhand's Revenge. Carlos D'Anda is the artist.
Superman will meet the Thundercats in Superman/Thundercats, by Judd Winick and Alé Garza.
Elijah Snow meets a Tarzan analog in Planetary # 17.
Humberto Ramos, Olallo Rubio, Francisco Herrera, and Carlos Lobo Cuevas will introduce a new WildStorm series about youths on a quest for the ultimate extreme sport. The sport and the book are both called Kamikaze.
Greg Rucka and Klaus Janson insisted that Batman: Death and the Maidens will be "the last Ra's al Ghul story."
Alias will end with issue # 38, but Jessica Jones will return in a new mainstream Marvel title called The Pulse. Written by Alias's Brian Michael Bendis, The Pulse will focus on the The Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson, Ben Urich, and Jessica Jones. Pulse will be a PSR+ book, not an "Explicit Content" book (as Alias was).
Brian Michael Bendis promises things "you've never seen in a mainstream Marvel book" in the "King of Hell's Kitchen" story arc in Daredevil.
Over in Ultimate Spider-Man, Bendis has reportedly entertained the notion of an "Ultimate Clone Saga."
Lots of Marvel mutants will make their first Ultimate appearances in Bendis's run on Ultimate X-Men — including the Angel and Dazzler. "Think Courtney Love," warns Bendis of Ultimate Dazzler.
New X-Men # 154 will be Grant Morrison's last issue. more
"Di Another Day," the controversial X-Statix story that was planned to feature Princess Diana of Wales, has been renamed "Back from the Dead." The featured resurrectee is no longer Diana Spencer but a different, as-yet-unnamed fictional princess. more
Marvel plans to publish a collection of Greg Horn art, maybe as soon as next year.
In a bizarre reversal, Rob Liefeld will be the regular cover artist on the new Deadpool/Cable series. (A year ago, Marvel Comics renamed the original series — as well as X-Force — to avoid paying Liefeld royalties on the titles.) more
According to Joe Quesada, 411 # 3 was pulled from the solicitation schedule because one of the creators hasn't completed his or her contribution. No word on whether the issue will be rescheduled when the rest of the content arrives at Marvel's offices.
October's Tsunami books will feature specially-themed black covers to mark the start of new stories. Paco Medina will take over the art on Venom, and Pat Olliffe will take over Namor. more
Joe Quesada will write and Joshua Middleton will draw the long-planned NYX ongoing series.
Newsarama has posted preview art and sketches from Adam Kubert for his upcoming 1602 mini-series with Neil Gaiman. Check it out here.
Letter columns may return to Marvel Comics in 2004, "slowly at first."
Mark Millar is launching four new creator-owned titles in December, each from a different publisher but all united with a "Millarworld" logo in the corner. The four titles will be:
J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Ploog will collaborate on Abadazad, a new series from CrossGen's Code 6 imprint. (Our webmaster is greatly excited by this news!) more
Courtney Love (not Ultimate Dazzler) will produce a shojo manga series for TokyoPop loosely based on her experiences in Japan.
Oni Press will release a trade paperback collection of Tales of Ordinary Madness, by Malcolm Borne and Mike Allred. more
Judd Winick will return to Oni for a 3-issue Barry Ween in Space mini-series. more
Oni will also begin a series of standalone fantasy graphic novels in the mold of Fushigi-Yugi or The Neverending Story. The first graphic novel in this series will be Once in a Blue Moon, by the New Mutants creative team of Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir. more
Oni will also publish three new graphic novels from Antony Johnson in 2004 — Spooked, Julius, and Closer. Ross Campbell, Brett Weldele, and Mike Norton are the respective artists. more
Events begun in the first issues of the CrossGen titles are builing to a climax in the coming year, according to Bill Rosemann. more
CrossGen also previewed a possible design for a Mordath toy. The company hopes to package toys for sale alongside the DVD comic collections they plan for the mass market. Other CrossGen merchandising includes Sojourn mini-figures, about 1-1/2 times the size of WizKids' HeroClix but without the bases. more
Issue # 24 of Sojourn will be the last written by Ron Marz. Ian Edginton will take over as writer. more
Rob Zombie will provide a new series called Spookshow International for CrossGen's CGE imprint. more
The next volume of Jim Krueger's Clockmaker series (Act II) will be published in a more traditional format. I.e., it won't have the fold-outs. As soon as Act II is completed, Image will re-release Act I in the new format. The story will finish in Clockmaker, Act III.
Frank Cho and Scott Kurtz will collaborate on a 12-issue mini-series called Summer Days, which Cho describes as "a combination of Northern Exposure and The Andy Griffith Show." Cho may release a new collection of his University2 strips next year.
AiT/PlanetLar has a bevy of projects scheduled for next year, including:
For more info, click here.
Image's God-awfully-late 10th Anniversary Hardcover may be finished in time for the company's 15th Anniversary.
2004 will see the release of a fourth trade paperback for Colleen Doran's science-fiction opus A Distant Soil.
Book publisher Del Rey has acquired the rights to four manga series. Two of them were announced this weekend, Gundam Seed and Negima. There are rumors that Del Rey is interested in adapting some of its authors (like Terry Brooks or Anne McCaffrey) as graphic novels by manga artists. more
Speaking of "real books," About Comics will reprint Robert Mayer's 1977 deconstructionist super-hero novel Superfolks with a new cover by Dave Gibbons. more
Grant Morrison will be returning to DC. He's signed a two-year exclusive contract with the company. New X-Men # 154 will be his last issue of that title. Marvel Boy II won't happen, and We 3 will be published at DC.
Both Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale have signed exclusive contracts with DC.
Greg Rucka has signed a 3-year exclusive contract with DC. This will not affect his "pre-contract commitments" to Oni Press (i.e. Queen & Country), but his Wolverine run will end at issue # 18. more
Beware the Creeper artist Cliff Chiang is exclusive with DC for two years. more
For complete San Diego toy coverage, we recommend Figures.com.
DC Direct announced a Silver Age Penguin & Catwoman two-pack to go along with the Silver Age Batman & Robin and the Silver Age Batgirl & Joker. more
DCD also premiered several figures that were previously announced:
Toy Biz will offer two Marvel Legends boxed sets:
Both sets have a suggested retail price of $34.99.
Toy Biz had lots of Marvel Legends figures on display from Waves 5 and 6. It looks like we'll be getting a Doop (from X-Statix) in Wave 6! more
Don Levine's original G.I. Joe prototype figure failed to sell at this weekend's Heritage Auction. more
Wizard World will add a fourth convention to its circuit in 2004 — Wizard World L.A., held in the Long Beach Convention Center on March 19-21. more

Tritium Level Too Low to Detect in Fukushima Seawater, Fish in First Week of Water Release at Nuclear Plant
15:31 JST, September 1, 2023
Tritium levels remained below detectable limits in seawater and fish sampled around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in the week from Aug. 24, when treated water began being released into the ocean, according to monitoring results by Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. and the government.
TEPCO said that 2,919 tons of treated water had been released by the end of Wednesday. The tritium concentration in treated water before discharge stood at around 200 becquerels per liter, which was far below the company’s set limit of 1,500 becquerels. The discharge facilities are operating on schedule.
TEPCO and the Fisheries Agency publish daily measurements of tritium concentrations in seawater and fish taken from the sea around the plant. Though measurements could not be taken one day due to bad weather, all results were below the detectable limit. The Environment Ministry and Fukushima prefectural government also found tritium concentrations in seawater to be below the detectable limit.
“That there were no problems with plant’s equipment was likely a result of thorough preparations [before the discharge],” said Hiroshi Miyano, former visiting professor at Hosei University and an expert in nuclear reactor systems. “We’ve seen the results we expected. It’s important to look at the overall trend, so it’s OK if we can’t take some measurements.”
In the first phase, about 460 tons of treated water will be discharged per day over 17 days. If all goes smoothly, this phase will be completed around Sept. 10. Akira Ono, president of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Decontamination and Decommissioning Engineering Co., said at a press conference on Thursday, “The treated water discharge will take a very long time. We will continue to address the issue with the utmost caution.”

BEGINNING A NEW ERA — ACCELERATING SHIFTING TO SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
In 2018, the Graz Declaration detailed, under the heading “Starting a new era: clean, safe and affordable mobility for Europe”, the ways in which mobility could help Europe to achieve the climate goals for 2030. Later in 2019, the European Green Deal established the commitment to reform the EU Economy towards a sustainable future, by designing a set of deeply transformative policies, such as accelerating the shift to a sustainable and smart mobility. Now, following the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is living unprecedented times and is facing a crisis that convenes everyone – technicians, politicians, and citizens – to debate the present and future challenges in Mobility Management.
Considering the necessary deep changes in economy, society, policy, environment and technology, our future depends on the lessons we will learn from the moment we are living today to make things possible Beginning a New Era.

Lao New Year is a major highlight of the year for many Laotians across the world, and is observed and celebrated for almost the whole month of April. It's filled with cultural activities, games, water splashing, and lots of authentically delicious Lao food. Connecting with our supporters is very important to us so go out and do a tum makhoung fundraiser in one of the cities. It's great to be part of the festivities and fun but mostly we love the chance to share and spread awareness of our cause and to meet our supporters who come out to show their love. We are always looking for volunteers to help set up the fundraiser in your area or to assist in our booth.

Protect Your Family from Diseases
Rodents, can carry a wide range of pathogens and parasites. When a rat or mouse is caught in a glue trap, external parasites and pathogens on its body often become entrapped in the adhesive and are contained by the glue board.
It is crucial to note that while glue traps usually capture and contain many of these parasites and pathogens, they may not capture all. Rubber gloves should always be worn when handling pest control products and rodents should never be handled directly. Proper disposal and handling of used
glue traps, followed by thorough handwashing, are essential to reduce the risk of disease transmission to humans. If rodents have been trapped in living
spaces, proper cleaning and disinfection of the area is recommended.
Some Pathogens Carried by Rats and Mice:
- Leptospira species: Causes leptospirosis, which can result in severe kidney damage, meningitis, liver failure, and respiratory complications.
- Salmonella Enterica: Causes salmonellosis, a form of food poisoning.
- Hantavirus: Causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a severe respiratory disease.
- Yersinia pestis: The causative agent of bubonic plague.
- Rickettsia species: Causes rickettsialpox.
- Streptobacillus moniliformis: Causes rat-bite fever.
- Arenavirus: Causes Lassa fever and other hemorrhagic fevers.
- Fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis): Fleas are vectors for the
bacteria Yersinia pestis, responsible for the bubonic plague.
- Ticks (Ixodes scapularis): Small arachnid that attaches to animals and humans to feed on blood, potentially transmitting diseases during their bites. Often carries Lyme Disease and other pathogens.
- Mites (Ornithonyssus bacoti): Also known as tropical rat mites, they can bite humans, causing dermatitis and itching.
- Lice: Such as the rat louse (Polyplax spinulosa).
- Roundworms (Angiostrongylus cantonensis): Also known as rat lungworm, which can cause meningitis in humans.
- Tapeworms (Hymenolepis diminuta and H. nana): Can sometimes infect humans, especially if rat feces are accidentally ingested.

Paradox are totally making a new game! There's no stopping those crazy Swedes as they announce that Warlock will be a "turn-based strategy game set in the fantastical land of Ardania, popularized in Majesty franchise." It seems like it's going to be a game of empire-building and army-gathering, with players battling against rival wizards for (turn-based) control of the land.
The game is scheduled for "Q2 2012", but there are no real images or details other than the fact that it will contain units, races, and spells. Vague teaser-type trailer below!
*RPS confirms it's really going to have to change the headlines so we can get these ridiculous long names in without losing our precious puns.

VMware and HPEwork closely together to help customers support a tsunami of new applications.
Storage for VMware needs to be intelligent, predictive, VM-and-application aware, and deeply integrated into the VMware ecosystem. VMware Virtual Volumes (vVols) answers that need by matching storage capacity, performance, and quality of service to application requirements, and effectively eliminating the complexities of LUN management.
Continuous innovation: What to expect going forward
Looking forward, HPE continues to lead the charge in developing new features for vVols such as support for NVMe-oF (VASA 4.0) and support for stretched storage clustering which is our #1 customer requested feature for vVols. Both features represent major engineering efforts and demonstrate HPE and VMware’s continued commitment to improve vVols to align with the latest storage technologies that meet customer requirements.
With more and more customers interested in building private clouds using VMware Cloud Foundation, vVols represents an ideal solution as it delivers fully automated storage provisioning using policy based management to support VM workloads. Strong VMware integration makes HPE Primera and Nimble Storage ideal platforms to use with VMware Cloud Foundation as primary workload domain storage. HPE is continually creating and updating reference architectures for VMware Cloud Foundation to help customers implement these solutions.
“The pace of application growth is accelerating and vVols provides an escape valve for customers who are struggling to keep up”, saysLee Caswell, VP Marketing, CPBU, VMware.“Our joint vVols work with HPE is setting a pace that has customers rethinking how storage integrated with VMware Cloud Foundation, can become a strategic advantage.”

We then took a short drive downtown to a cute little area with shops and lots of yummy food. It was a fun afternoon with them both and I had a great time getting to learn more about them. Can’t wait for their BIG day next year!

Springtime in Kentville is always a celebrated season, as it brings renewed life, the promise of a bountiful harvest, and a beautiful lushness to the surrounding countryside.
While the rest of the world fell victim to the Great Depression of the 1930s, the first Apple Blossom Festival was celebrated in Kentville, during the spring of 1932. Great local music, a beauty pageant, a Blossom Ball, and a parade were featured and tens of thousands of people attended.
Kentville not only celebrates the beginning of the harvest season, but also the end. The annual Harvest Festival is held the beginning of each October and welcomes not only the world famous “Pumpkin People” by thousands of visitors who make the town a destination point, during their autumn tour of the province. Activities involve hay wagon rides, crafts, community bands, buskers, competitions, and lots of great things to eat.
Every Christmas season the towns’ people gather for the annual Torchlight Parade and Christmas party. This involves the lighting of the huge Christmas tree in the centre of town, a visit from Santa, a skating party of the local arena, entertainment and some delicious hot apple cider.
Kentville has much to be proud of. It has the highest per capita ratio of professionals than any other place in Canada; it plays host to national level sporting events in and on first class facilities; it has a delightful downtown core with renowned restaurants, pubs, cafés, a live theatre, museums and historic sites; and is the centre of commerce and medicine. Seen as a most desirable place to live and work, Kentville is poised on the brink of much commercial and residential development.

ISL club SC East Bengal on Friday denied filing a 'review plea' or request to AIFF regarding head coach Robert Fowler's suspension and fine in the Indian Super League.
There were media reports that East Bengal had made a request to chairman of All India Football Federation's disciplinary committee Ushanath Banerjee in relation to Fowler's suspension and fine. The reports further claimed that the club's request was then turned down by Banerjee.
"SC East Bengal would like to clarify that at no point was any official or authorised request made by it in such regard and therefore there is no question of an official review having been resorted to by SC East Bengal," the club said in a statement.
"SC East Bengal is in receipt of the AIFF Disciplinary Committee's order and is assessing its options under the AIFF's Disciplinary Code," it added.
On Thursday, AIFF Disciplinary Committee sanctioned Fowler for breaching Article 50 (misconduct against match officials) of the AIFF Disciplinary Code. He was suspended for four matches and fined Rs 5 lakh.
"This punitive action is specifically in regard to Fowler's criticism of on-field refereeing decisions in matches of the Indian Super League 2020-21 season involving SC East Bengal," the AIFF statement read.
East Bengal further pointed out that as the official statement of the AIFF clearly clarifies, the main charge made out against Fowler relates to the fine and/or match suspension that may be applicable to any person engaging in public criticism or making any adverse comment (such as about the integrity of a person) in media, press conferences etc. anytime against a match official.
"The AIFF order also specifically clarifies that none of Fowler's comments were racist and therefore any media reports to the contrary should be rejected," the club statement read.
In the 2017-18 season, Ranko Popovic, then FC Pune City head coach, was meted out the same punishment for his outburst against match officials. Even last season, Antonio Lopez Habas (then ATK FC head coach) and Eelco Schattorie (then Kerala Blasters FC head coach) were also handed similar punishments by the AIFF.

Gleneagles’s Jack Nicklaus-designed PGA Centenary course, which will host the Ryder Cup in 2014, is currently being modified by David McLay Kidd.
“When the course was built, it was intended to be the ultimate tournament course, but now a modest amateur can breeze round it,” says Kidd. “We were asked to review the design, especially with reference to crowd control during the Ryder Cup. Plus there are playability issues – it’s no secret that the eighteenth has received a lot of criticism over the years.”
Kidd and his team have come up with a five-stage plan for the redevelopment of the course that involves the construction of six new greens, and two completely new holes. “We’ve finished holes 4–8 and we’ll do 12–14 this autumn,” he says.
This article first appeared in issue 1 of Golf Course Architecture, published in July 2005.

Diplomatic Bluebook 2017
Japan's Foreign Policy to Promote National and Worldwide Interests
The Government of Japan has actively communicated Japan's stance and way of thinking on the occasions of daily press conferences, interviews, contributions to the media, and speeches at official visits to foreign countries and international conferences by the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, and government officials. The diplomatic missions overseas have actively communicated to the government of the countries appointed, their citizens, and the media on Japan's fundamental stance or views on a range of issues including the recognition of history or maintenance of territorial integrity. When media reports include factual errors, the diplomatic missions overseas, especially ambassadors or consulate general, explain by sending rebuttal pieces based on facts. Japan also actively engages in communications with the public via social media and websites, in addition to creating publicity materials including policy related videos and so forth.
In order to make Japan's fundamental stance on policy issues understood, it is also important to enhance coordinated efforts among the Ministry, experts, and think tanks. Based on this recognition, MOFA has invited influential experts and media personnel from around the world, providing them with opportunities to exchange views with government officials and others, and to visit various places around Japan. Furthermore, Japan has dispatched Japanese experts abroad while bolstering support for holding Japan-related seminars.
Moreover, in order to attract a broader audience, including those who did not have much interest in Japan, the following actions are important: (1) providing information on the diverse attractiveness of Japan through “All-Japan” efforts of the government, private sectors and local governments; (2) promoting outreach that reflects the needs of local communities, utilizing the expertise of experts from both inside and outside Japan; and (3) providing a “one-stop-service” where all information related to Japan can be obtained. With this in mind, communication hubs are to be established in London (UK), Los Angeles (U.S.), and Sao Paulo (Brazil) to implement aforementioned actions.
(2) Reports by Foreign Media on Japan and Communications through Foreign Media
In 2016, when Japan assumed presidency of the G7 summit and co-hosted TICAD VI, the foreign media paid much attention to Japan's security, policies/diplomacy, economics and society, and its contributions to the world. Moreover, active visits by Prime Minister Abe and Foreign Minister Kishida to foreign countries in line with Japan's “diplomacy that takes a panoramic perspective of the world map” captured the further attention of the local and international media.
Amidst increasing interest in Japan, MOFA actively provides timely information and offers assistance with press coverage to foreign media in order to gain understanding and support from the international community about Japan's positions and its activities. MOFA makes efforts to achieve strategic and effective communications by providing information to relevant media outlets at appropriate times.
In terms of communications through foreign media, MOFA regularly conducts press conferences, such as those held by Foreign Minister Kishida, and provides information to correspondents in Japan via press releases and other materials. MOFA arranges interviews, press conferences, and op-ed article contributions to foreign media during overseas visits by Prime Minister Abe and Foreign Minister Kishida, and their participation in international conferences such as ASEAN, APEC and the United Nations General Assembly. In 2016, Prime Minister Abe gave a total of eight interviews and article contributions, and Foreign Minister Kishida gave 12 interviews and article contributions. Prime Minister Abe also conducted four international press conferences during his visits overseas.
On the occasion of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Hiroshima held in April 2016, Foreign Minister Kishida contributed articles to CNN (U.S.), Le Figaro (France), and other major media outlets in G7 countries to explain Japan's endeavors to realize a world free of nuclear weapons. Moreover, during the G7 Ise-Shima Summit, Prime Minister Abe contributed an article to The Wall Street Journal (U.S.). Prime Minister Abe also held a press conference as the chair of the summit to convey to the world the results of discussions on the G7's tackling of the world economy, which was the major theme at the summit, as well as on women's empowerment, progress in international health, and stimulation of investment in quality infrastructure, which are all fundamental for sustainable growth. Prime Minister Abe also contributed an article to CNN during the UN General Assembly in September 2016 to outline Japan's efforts to date in international cooperation through the UN and emphasized the need for UN reform.
In addition, MOFA invited 101 journalists and eight TV teams from abroad, with a focus on media outlets with no correspondents in Japan, to provide opportunities for them to enhance their understanding of Japan's priority policies and positions. For example, as part of communications activities prior to TICAD VI, 10 journalists from 10 African countries were invited to Japan before the conference and were given the opportunity to report on subjects such as Japan's assistance to Africa. During TICAD VI, held in Nairobi, Kenya, a press tour was held for 14 reporters from 14 African countries, resulting in coverage in numerous media outlets in various African countries. Moreover, 21 reporters from 19 countries were invited throughout the year to Hiroshima where the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting was held, in an effort to communicate Japan's activities in nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, and promote other appealing aspects of Japan, particularly those of Japan's local regions.
In some cases where reports on Japan by the foreign media included factual errors, MOFA delivered explanations to the media or sent letters to the editor in order to promote reports based on accurate facts and understanding.

Cameron Highlands Farm Visit
The second day we were in Cameron Highlands, we decided to head to Mountain Strawberry Farm located nearby the hotel we were staying in.
To get there, we used the access road to Boh Farm in Sg Palas. Beware though! The road to Sg Palas Boh Plantation (and to Mountain Strawberry Farm) is extremely narrow and winding. It boggles the mind to see sightseeing buses navigate this road which is barely enough to let a car pass by, let alone buses and a two-way traffic!
Sg Palas Boh Plantation. Row and rows of tea trees as far as the eyes can see.
Raimie was pretty happy running around the farm, checking out the cactus plants, the animals (in cages, though) and of course, picking up strawberries and vegetables at the farm. We picked some strawberries and bought some Cameron Apples (the one Zaini was holding in the photo above). We didn't buy much because we'd have trouble finishing them all!
This farm is not located by the road-side and getting there can be a challenge but it was nice because the few times we were there, there aren't many visitors around. Tour buses may have problem parking here too, because of the steep incline (almost 90 degrees! o.O) one have drive to get to the farm. But for those who did make the journey, bought cart loads of vegetables here unlike us who spent less than RM50 for our stash. :D

The son of Sir James F. Stephen, a criminal court judge, and Mary Richenda Cunningham, James Kenneth Stephen, known as "Jem" to his friends, was educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge. He joined the secret, apparently homosexual society known as the Apostles, and became a Fellow of King's College in 1885, two years after being hired as tutor to Prince Albert Victor Edward, heir to the throne, who studied at Trinity College 1883-85. In 1888, by then a barrister and distanced from the royal family, Stephen founded a weekly journal The Reflector, but it lasted only for 17 numbers, although he had many literary friends (one of his cousins was Virginia Woolf) and had quickly acquired a reputation as a satirical poet. Stephen was committed to St. Andrew's Hospital, Northampton, in November 1891, suffering from mental illness, likely manic depression. He had struck his head in an accident at Felixstowe five years before--a point after which friends, Virginia Woolf included, began to interpret his behaviour as madness. After refusing all nourishment, Stephen died early February 1892, a few weeks after the prince he tutored. Arthur C. Benson's The Leaves of the Tree: Studies in Biography (London: Smith, Elder, 1911; CT 782 B3 Robarts Library) discusses Stephen's life; and David Abrahamson's Murder & Madness: the Secret Life of Jack the Ripper (London: Robson Books, 1992; HV 6535 G73 L653 1992 Robarts Library) transcribes Stephen's medical records. The claim that Stephen and the Prince were Jack the Ripper is based on weak circumstantial evidence and a psychoanalytic reading of his mysogynistic poems.
