The Ministry of Health will reimburse
travelling costs for rural expectant
mothers who go to health centres and
divisional hospitals at their own cost.
This has been revealed by the Health
Minister, Dr Neil Sharma.
Dr Sharma made the comment after it
was brought to his attention that many
women, particularly in rural areas, have
raised concerns on poor health services
and have had to use their own money to
hire vans, taxis and carriers to transport
the sick in times of emergencies.
We are aware of the issue and let me
reassure you that we are working on
those key areas to improve and deliver
consistent services to the people, Dr
Sharma said.
Suppose somebody in Bua or elsewhere
needed immediate medical attention.
We are supposed to bring them over
whether there is an ambulance or not. It
is our duty to save lives and we need to
be discreet with such issues.
From today, I will look into the
matters and keep an eye on medical
professionals because there should be
no excuse that there is no ambulance.
Dr Sharma said people should know
that all expenses are covered by the
Ministry of Health i.e. taxi, van, carrier
fares and airfares.
All expenses are covered, including

to go for marketing.
They are the ones who generally want
to advertise on radio and television
but they never get the chance to, Mr
Sayed-Khaiyum said.
The reason is they are smaller
businesses which dont make too much
money and they dont have a budget as
robust as other businesses.
Interested customers would be given
from July 7 to 18 to apply with
the first 20 customers settling for
extremely low rates for radio and
television advertising. Because of its
apt anniversary, signifying a diamond
one, a competition for one touching
all genres of communication was
launched.
For instance, Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said,
it may be as simple as a birthday card or
be dramatised into video performance
illustrating the question: What does
FBC mean to you?
Public pledge
Coinciding with its anniversary, Mr SayedKhaiyum also reiterated the companys
Public Declaration stating what it stands for
and means a broadcaster and watch dog.
This all comes at a time to round off
our 60th birthday and at the end of the
month, this competition will culminate
with our FBC 60th party, he said.
A huge party is set for the end of this
month to round up the anniversary.

As a result of the EMS system, Mr

Thats quite a challenge for us to

$33.7M Profit
AN overall growth in revenues, cost
reduction in some areas and favourable
performance from major Amalgamated
Telecom Holdings subsidiaries have
resulted in an audited consolidated net
profit after tax of $33.7million.
This was announced by ATH in its
annual audited accounts for the year
ending March 31, 2014.
Released by the South Pacific Stock
Exchange Monday, the positive growth
was a big improvement from a loss of
$27.9m for the corresponding period
last year.
"Consolidated net profit after tax and
minority interest for the full year was
$14.5m as compared with a loss of
$15.9m for the same period last year,"
the company said.
It said favourable performances were
noted for Vodafone Fiji Limited, FIJI
International Communications Limited
(FINTEL) and Fiji Directories Limited.
"During the prior year, Vodafone
Fiji undertook a major network
transformation
program
where
it replaced its entire mobile
telecommunications
network
infrastructure.
"The old network assets were disposed,
which resulted in overall loss recorded
last financial year for the group."
ATH said significant events during
the financial year included the holding
company acquiring 357,000 shares in
the subsidiary company, FINTEL, held
by government for $9m.
This consideration was based on the
net assets position of FINTEL as of
March 31, 2013.
In December last year, the holding
company also sold all of its 51 per cent
shareholding in the subsidiary, Pacific
Emerging Technologies (Fiji) Limited,
to Pacific Electronic Commerce
Pty Limited, for a consideration of
$850,000.
In March this year, ATH said, FINTEL
also sold its freehold land and building
in Suva (Mercury House) for $4.6m to
its ultimate parent entity Fiji National
Provident Fund.
"The net gain on disposal of the
freehold land and building after capital
gains tax was $1.226m," the holding
company said.

Most of those trapped under the rubble are thought to be workers from a
neighbouring state
The death toll in a building collapse in
the southern Indian city of Chennai has
risen to 24, reports say.
Some 24 survivors have so far been
pulled from the rubble, and 20 others
are feared trapped in the debris.
More than 70 workers were in the
11-storey building which was under
construction when it toppled in heavy
rain late on Saturday.
India has seen frequent building
collapses, many blamed on lax safety
and substandard materials.
At least six people, including
construction company officials, have
been arrested in connection with the
collapse in Chennai (Madras), the
capital of the southern state of Tamil
Nadu.
Dr K Kulandaisamy, a senior health
official of Tamil Nadu, told the NDTV
news channel that 15 of the dead had
been identified.
The dead were mainly construction
workers from neighbouring Andhra
Pradesh state and were in the building
to collect their wages, reports say.
On Monday, two workers, including a
woman, were pulled alive from rubble
by rescue workers, reports say.
The woman is being treated for a head
injury at the hospital, a hospital

In a statement CYF clarified that the

would not say any more because it was
a matter for the police.
Police later said a Manurewa police
patrol was alerted about 12.05am to a
vehicle performing a "sustained loss of
traction manoeuvre".
After police attempted to pull the car
over it fled, resulting in the pursuit.
It stopped a short time later.
Both the driver and the passenger were
still being investigated.

do something malicious."
According to an annual internet
security threat report released in April
by Symantec, 63 per cent of emails
sent to Canadians last year were spam,
a decrease from 65 per cent in 2012
and down from 80 to 90 per cent in the
early 2000s.
"Globally as well as in Canada, the
rate has been going down the last four
years," says Kevin Haley, director of
Symantec Security Response.
One major incident helped drive
that decline.
"Two of the largest companies involved
in pharmaceutical spam actually got
into a business dispute and instead
of hiring lawyers, they hired hackers
and they hacked each other out of
business," says Haley.
But a lot of other spammers are still out
there, and the international nature of
their activities could make it harder for
any one country to effectively stamp
out spam at home.
"It will definitely help when you
find your own homegrown hackers
and cyberthieves, but you'll have a
challenge when those people are out of
the country," says Haley.
Getting around the rules
Davis says professional spammers
know how to get around legislation.
"They'll create it from a country
outside of Canada, where it's almost
impossible for anybody to litigate
against or adjudicate against."
Spamming activities are also moving

do it," he said.
Asked if he would also join politics, he
said: "I've never said no but for next
10 years I don't think I'll be interested.
But you never know." Politics can wait
for now as he is busy with film projects
and his new celebrity chat show "The
Anupam Kher Show - Kucch Bhi Ho
Sakta Hai".
He is okay with comparisons, even if
it means being compared to his wife,
who is also currently narrating a show
titled "Kitni Girhain Baaki Hain".
"I've not yet (watched the show). I've
heard people appreciating her work on
the show. Comparisons should happen.
It's healthy. It makes me do my job
in a better manner. But her show is
different. She is narrating stories that
are already there. This (...Kucch Bhi
Ho Sakta Hai) is conversation with
people I admire and I love,' he said.
The 12-episode show that will start
July 6 on Colors, will have guests like
Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Alia
Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra and Sonam
Kapoor.

Half of 2014 is already over and we already have a few entrants in the Rs 100 crore club, including the likes of Jai Ho, 2 States and Holiday: A Soldier is Never
Off Duty. Of course, apart from the moneyspinners, this year has also seen many commercial flops. There's hardly been a Friday without a film release. But
what's really interesting is that the first few six months were marked by the absence of some of the biggest Bollywood stars.
But worry not, for all that is set to change in the second half. If the list of films slated to release in the second half of this year is anything to go by, B-town's
biggest stars are going to more than make up for their absence so far. hitlist tells you about the big stars' eagerly awaited cinematic outings.
'Kick'
Director: Sajid Nadiadwala

collected Rs 100 crore but this

Nadiadwala's directorial debut.
'Bang Bang'
Director: Siddharth Anand

Street Smart
Eight Ways to Raise Your Street I.Q.
Street smarts were something my
mother really valued. She believed
that being street smart was worth
much more than a formal education
when it comes to succeeding in life.
Based on my own experience working
with hundreds of individuals, many
of whom have the finest of formal
educations, it's very clear that street
smarts are what turn desire into results
more than any other factor.
What does it mean to be "street smart"?
It means you follow your instincts,
you listen to your gut, you don't overthink things, you pay attention to the
details that tell you what's really going
on, you learn the rules and how to use
them, you know when to speak up and
when to shut up and you know enough
to know what you don't know and
what you must know. You use your
curiosity, ingenuity, industriousness
and initiative to advance you towards
your goals. You don't wait for other
people to do it for you. You control
and leverage your attitude to position
yourself for success.
To be street smart you've got to be both
optimistic and realistic
Nay-sayers don't get nearly as far as
people who believe in the possibilities.
But just seeing what's possible
without applying a healthy dose of
practical strategy isn't going to get you
anywhere. It's not magic, after all.
Instinct vs. Intuition
There's an element of both instinct
and intuition in the formula for street
smarts. Instinct is a natural aptitude
or gift for something while intuition
is pure, untaught, non-inferential
knowledge, you just "know". You can
have an instinct for art or science or
mathematics or law or anything, really.
And, you can have "a feeling" or "just
know" but still not be street smart.
If street smarts are, in fact, learned, you
can learn them. Or I should say, you
can learn how to tap into them. (You
already have some measure of street
smarts already. We all do.) Here's how
to raise your street I.Q.
Follow your instincts. If
you're in the habit of talking yourself
out of what they are telling you, stop
it. Instincts are something that get
