Current Events QTR 2 Week 5: New Fisheries decree expected early next year

     In Fiji a new fisheries decree is expected in early 2011. The fisheries Pacific islands leader is doing this to protect even the restricted areas of Fiji's waters. They are also taking into account the modern aspects faced by the sector. Some non-government organizations are part of the review process too. In conclusion Fiji is decreeing an act for new fisheries.

     In my opinion this is good because it helps save some of the most beautiful places in Fiji. I am glad that the non-government is getting involved because they probably go boating every day for their jobs. This is good because they most likely know the waters better that anyone else.It is a good thing that they are taking into effect all of the modern factors because if not then who knows how much trouble they would be in they didn't do that. In conclusion for the most part I think this is a good thin and it will greatly benefit them in the long run

Current Events QTR 2 Week 3: Inquiry in Fiji over grocery price reductions

In Fiji prices for food are drastically being cut. Some of  the countries largest supermarkets removed important grocery items in protest at their price reduction. Many customers are fumed at this and are complaining about the removing of the products, because most of the products are essential items. The supermarkets are going to put the items back on the shelf but they say "the mandatory price reduction has made the items uneconomical to sell."

This in my opinion is not very good because the price is so low that if they sell a lot then their economic state will be horrible. That is bad because if that happens then their economy in Fiji will drastically go down and the entire country will probably have to raise the price maybe by 300% (but probably less). This in turn will affect the whole country and put it in a state that the US is in right now with debt and high prices. So in conclusion this drop in prices has grocers fumed and customers mad because some products are not being put on the shelves.

Current Events QTR 2 Week 1: Report of plot to remove Fiji leader

In Fiji Commodore Frank Bainimarama is saying the two have been told to take a holiday as they have accumulated substantial amount of leave days over the years.Late last year, there were moves to send Fiji's contingent of troops working for the United Nations in Iraq a new general. He was rejected for the position, with the UN citing accusations of human rights abuses. The army took power in December 2006. It was the fourth military coup in Fiji since 1987. However Commodore Frank Bainimarama subsequently declared himself interim prime minister of Fiji.

There are many reasons that i think this is bad. Personally I think that this is an example of poor leadership. This is bad for this country because is does not give them a good reputation. The country is basically falling apart piece by piece. All of this is not doing any good for Fiji and will not do any good for the future of this country.

current event week 7, Fiji to determine own destiny

The president of Fiji states that Fiji should control it's own future. He said that although Fiji is in hard times is still needs to have control over it's future. they have been criticized but they still are working to keep a well running government.

I think that this is good for Fiji to remain in control of it's future because if they remain in control then they will be better off. It will also give them more stability. This is why it is good for Fiji this week.

Current Events Week 6: Private press censorship in Fiji

Fiji's private press came under strict official censorship in April 2009. In 2010 they tightened media ownership requirements and provided for prison terms for journalists. The ownership rules threatened the Fiji Times, "the only newspaper that has resisted government control".Radio is a key for the outer islands. BBC World Service and FM Radio relays were shut down in the 2009 state of emergency.

I think that this will greatly affect Fiji's news sources. This is because Fiji is a small country and has 3 main sourses for news and about 1 of them is private news. That is why this will greatly affect Fiji's news sourses. In conclusion news censorship in Fiji will greatly affect the news in Fiji.

Current event #5

Some good news in Fiji is that Tropical Cyclone PAT is no longer a threat. Tropical Cyclone PAT formed earlier this week east of Fiji and was monitored by the NWFC. They confirmed yesterday that there was no threat from this cyclone to Fiji. Tropical Cyclone PAT posed no threat for Fiji as it headed towards French Polynesia yesterday. 

I think that it is good that it passed by them. That passing Fiji is good because a different cyclone hit them last year and they have still not recovered. The bad part is that it is still heading toward different islands.

current event #3

In the case of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, huge amounts of Euros were required to turn an already fast car: 253 mph (the “standard” Veyron’s previous speed) into a car that can achieve 268 mph (the world record for the fastest production car). The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport set the record on July 3rd of this year at VW’s proving grounds at Ehra-Lessien in Germany. To begin, any similarities between the Bugatti Veyron and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport merely disguise the differences.

My opinion is that the Bugatti Veyron and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport are two cars that are almost the same but one is 15mph faster. to me this is exiting because the world record for the fastest car in the world (excluding stock cars). I think it looks really cool because it is really aerodynamic.
