Japan would respond with force if
any attempt is made to land on
disputed islands, PM Shinzo Abe
has warned. His comments came as eight Chinese
government ships sailed near East
China Sea islands that both nations
claim. A flotilla of 10 fishing boats carrying
Japanese activists was also reported
to be in the area, as well as the
Japanese coastguard. Mr Abe was speaking in parliament
hours after dozens of lawmakers
visited a controversial war-linked
shrine. A total of 168 lawmakers paid their
respects at the Yasukuni Shrine,
which commemorates Japan's war
dead, including war criminals, in a
move likely to anger regional
neighbours who say the shrine is a reminder of Japan's military past. 'Deal strongly' The warning from the Japanese prime
minister was the most explicit to
China since Mr Abe took power in
December, the BBC's Rupert
Wingfield-Hayes reports from Tokyo. Asked in parliament what he would
do if Chinese ships tried to land on the
disputed islands, Mr Abe said they
would be expelled by force. "Since it has become the Abe
government, we have made sure that
if there is an instance where there is
an intrusion into our territory or it
seems that there could be landing on
the islands then we will deal will it strongly," he said. The warning came as eight Chinese
ships sailed around the islands -
called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu
in China. The Japanese coast guard said it was
the highest number of Chinese boats
in the area since Tokyo nationalised
part of the island chain in September
2012.

China said its ships had been
monitoring Japanese vessels. The
State Oceanic Administration issued a
statement saying three of its ships
had "found" several Japanese ships
around the islands and "immediately ordered another five ships in the East
China Sea to meet the three ships". Ten Japanese boats carrying around
80 activists arrived in the area early
on Tuesday, Reuters news agency
reported, monitored by Japanese
Coast Guard vessels. Public
broadcaster NHK said the boats were carrying "regional lawmakers and
members of the foreign media". Japan's top government spokesman
said the "intrusion into territorial
waters" was "extremely regrettable".
Japan also summoned the Chinese
ambassador to protest, reports said. The territorial row has been rumbling
for years but was reignited last year
when Japan bought three of the
islands from their private Japanese
owner. China claims the island chain, which is
controlled by Japan. Taiwan also
claims the islands, which offer rich
fishing grounds and lie in a
strategically important area. The dispute has led to serious
diplomatic tension between China
and Japan, most recently in January
when Japan said a Chinese frigate
locked weapons-controlling radar on
one of its navy ships near the islands - something China disputes. 'Backlash' The visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on
Tuesday by lawmakers marking the
spring festival is also likely to hit ties
between Beijing and Tokyo. Two cabinet ministers, including
Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso,
visited the shrine on Sunday. Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe did not visit but
made a ritual offering. South Korea subsequently cancelled a
proposed visit by its foreign minister,
while China lodged "solemn
representations" in response to the
ministers' visit. "Only when Japan faces up to its
aggressive past can it embrace the
future and develop friendly relations
with its Asian neighbours," Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying
said on Monday. But Japanese lawmaker Hidehisa
Otsujji said it was "natural" for
"lawmakers to worship at a shrine for people who died for the nation". "Every nation does this. I don't
understand why we get a backlash,"
he said.

Hmmm, seen

Not sure if I should comment

Not sure if I should comment

bamosagie: Igbo guys don begin the movement for amnesty, now dem go dey Pray make the trial start, then dem go start wahała and killing, maybe bombing plus kidnapping. Then some prominent Igbo leaders go ask for amnesty, after small shakara from both side, federal govt go beg dem with amnesty. Case close. Till OPC start dem own.

A HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!

lol..... they're definitely working on it

Kepler telescope spies 'most
Earth-like' worlds to date

The search for a far-off twin of Earth has turned up two of the most
intriguing candidates yet. Scientists say these new worlds are
the right size and distance from their
parent star, so that you might expect
to find liquid water on their surface. It is impossible to know for sure.
Being 1,200 light-years away, they
are beyond detailed inspection by
current telescope technology. But researchers tell Science magazine, they are an exciting discovery. "They are the best candidates found
to date for habitable planets," stated Bill Borucki, who leads the team working on the US space agency
Nasa's orbiting Kepler telescope. The prolific observatory has so far
confirmed the existence of more than
100 new worlds beyond our Solar
System since its launch in 2009. The two now being highlighted were
actually found in a group of five
planets circling a star that is slightly
smaller, cooler and older than our
own Sun. Called Kepler-62, this star is
located in the Constellation Lyra. Its two outermost worlds go by the
names Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f. They are what one might term
"super-Earths" because their
dimensions are somewhat larger than
our home planet - about one-and-a-
half-times the Earth's diameter. Nonetheless, their size, the
researchers say, still suggests that
they are either rocky, like Earth, or
composed mostly of ice. Certainly,
they would appear to be too small to
be gaseous worlds, like a Neptune or a Jupiter. Many assumptions Planets 62e and 62f also happen to sit
a sufficient distance from their host
star that they receive a very tolerable
amount of energy. They are neither
too hot, nor too cold; a region of
space around a star sometimes referred to as the "Goldilocks Zone". Given the right kind of atmosphere, it
is therefore reasonable to speculate,
says the team, that they might be able
to sustain water in a liquid state - a
generally accepted precondition for
life. "Statements about a planet's
habitability always depend on
assumptions," said Lisa Kaltenegger, an expert on the likely atmospheres
of "exoplanets" and a member of the
discovery group. "Let us assume that the planets
Kepler-62e and -62f are indeed
rocky, as their radius would indicate.
Let us further assume that they have
water and their atmospheric
composition is similar to that of Earth, dominated by nitrogen, and
containing water and carbon
dioxide," the Max Planck Institute for
Astronomy in Heidelberg researcher
went on. "In that case, both planets could have
liquid water on their surface:
Kepler-62f gets less radiation energy
from its host star than the Earth from
the Sun and therefore needs more
greenhouse gases, for Instance more carbon dioxide, than Earth to remain
unfrozen. "Kepler-62e is closer to its star, and
needs an increased cloud cover -
sufficient to reflect some of the star's
radiation - to allow for liquid water on
its surface." Key signatures None of this can be confirmed - not
with today's technology. But with
future telescopes, scientists say it may
be possible to see past the blinding
glare of the parent star to pick out just
the faint light passing through a small world's atmosphere or even reflected
off its surface. This would permit the detection of
chemical signatures associated with
specific atmospheric gases and
perhaps even some surface
processes. Researchers have spoken
in the past of trying to detect a marker for chlorophyll, the pigment in plants
that plays a critical role in
photosynthesis. Dr Suzanne Aigrain is a lecturer in astrophysics at the University of
Oxford. She said ground-based experiments
and space missions planned in the
next few years would give more
detailed information on distant
planets like those announced by the
Kepler team. Astronomers would like to pin down
the masses of the planets
(information difficult to acquire with
Kepler), as well as getting that data on
atmospheric composition. Dr Aigrain told BBC News: "What we
do next is we try to find more systems
like these; we try to measure the
frequency of these systems; and we
try to characterise individual systems
and individual planets in more detail. "That involves measuring their
masses and their radii, and if possible
getting an idea of what's in their
atmospheres. But this is a very
challenging task." Kepler meanwhile will just keep
counting planets beyond our Solar
System. It is equipped with the largest camera
ever launched into space. It senses
the presence of planets by looking for
a tiny "shadowing" effect when one
of them passes in front of its parent
star.

Congrats boys!
