Japan hit by second powerful earthquake with fears of worse ahead

At least 34 believed dead and about 1,500 injured with thousands more evacuated as rescuers search through rubble

A second major earthquake in less than two days has shaken Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, with at least 34 people thought to have been killed, about 1,500 injured and more feared buried after building collapses and landslides.


The 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck at about 1.30am on Saturday, waking people across the island – including the thousands already in crisis centres. It caused widespread damage, with several landslides and a village evacuated over fears a dam might burst.

On Thursday a weaker magnitude 6.5 earthquake in the same region of Kumamoto brought down buildings, killed nine people and injured about 800. More than 100 aftershocks followed until the ultimately bigger quake on Saturday morning that led to the earlier, smaller event being reclassified as a foreshock.


Japan’s prime minister, Shinzō Abe, expressed concerns about secondary disasters from mudslides as the weather forecast for the area predicted wet weather and strong winds.
Rain began falling at about 3pm local time, with torrential downpours anticipated through the night. The Fukuoka Meteorological Agency estimated that 100mm-150mm of rain would fall on Kumamoto over the next 24 hours, increasing the risk of landslides.


“Daytime today is the big test” for rescue efforts, Abe said. He called off a visit to Kumamoto on Saturday given the worsened situation after the new earthquakes struck. “He was scheduled to visit Mashiki but now he does not think that would be the best use of his time,” his office told the Guardian.


Before the torrential rain began, 4,200 households in the mountainous town of Misato were told to evacuate, along with 40 in the village of Nishihara and 5,200 in Oita prefecture’s city of Yufu, which also suffered damage in the earthquake. More than 15,000 people have been affected by the orders.
The Japanese government’s chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said on Saturday that 1,500 people had been injured, 80 of them seriously, and casualty figures were likely to increase. Nearly 70,000 people had left their homes, he said.
He said the military presence would be boosted to 20,000 for rescue efforts. Police and firefighters are also being ordered to the region.
In a nationally televised news conference, Suga asked people not to panic. “Please let’s help each other and stay calm,” he said.


Tsunami warnings were triggered by Saturday’s quake, though none took place, and there was confusion and anxiety for the thousands of evacuees whose homes had already been destroyed or damaged.
One massive landslide tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso village in Kumamoto prefecture from the top to a road below, destroying a key bridge that could cut off food and other relief transport to the worst hit area.
Another landslide hit a road, collapsing a house that fell down a ravine. In another part of the village, houses were left hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole cut open in the earth.

With the rising consistency of automobile related incidents, car insurance is required greater than ever before. Car insurance is compulsory for a lot of the world's drivers, who can't go out on the open road with no policy in the first place. In the US, penalties are placed on drivers without car insurance. Like a sensible driver, you may need insurance for the automobile and an insurance quote so as to choose which policy you must buy. Before you get insurance for the automobile and an insurance quote for yourself, you need to comprehend what automobile insurance covers. Car insurance can cover more than one of 3 different insurance levels.

Car insurance will also cover harm done to the car, perhaps due to a collision or vehicle breakdown. Lastly, 3rd parties may also be covered to some degree by insurance, depending on if they caused harm to the car, or if the car and its drivers had done harm to them. As you analyze prospects for insurance of your automobile and the insurance quote comprising details on the potential policy, study the extent to which coverage may apply so as to preserve yourself legal entanglements and problems later. In order to buy automobile insurance, you'll have to pay a premium for a particular period of time.

You'll find the value of this premium whenever you study documents for the insurance of your automobile and the insurance quote given to you. Additionally you need to understand how an insurance provider arrived at this type of price. Dependant upon where you reside, the insurance premium can be determined in just one of two ways! it may be determined by the local government, or set by the insurance provider according to local government regulations. Premium costs are determined by insurance actuaries and are based on local road and lifestyle data. Premium costs also depend on the design and age of the vehicle, the coverage you'll select, your profile and lifestyle, and how you intend to use the car.

Generally, the more coverage you need, the higher the premium cost, though some insurance agencies can give you discount rates on coverage. Study insurance prospects for the automobile and the insurance quote that the business will offer you so as to determine which package you must select. In certain states, and for many insurance agencies, insurance plans extend to the policy holder only if the holder is driving her or his car. If you drive an automobile owned by someone else, then that individual automobile insurance contract applies to you.

DBS rises to 6th spot in Asia-Pacific private bank rankings: Survey

DBS had US$75 billion in assets under management at the end of December last year, up 2.5 per cent from end-2014, says industry publication Asian Private Banker. 

SINGAPORE: DBS' private banking arm has grown to become the sixth largest in the Asia-Pacific region, rising one notch from seventh in 2014, according to a ranking released on Wednesday (Apr 6).
According to Asian Private Banker, an industry publication, DBS had US$75 billion (S$101 billion) in assets under management (AUM) at the end of December last year, up 2.5 per cent from end-2014. The figure includes client assets from DBS' Treasures Private Client, which caters to people with at least S$1.5 million in investable assets.
Bank of Singapore, the private bank owned by Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC), was 11th on the list with US$55 billion in AUM - an increase of 7.8 per cent from 2014. Its Asia-Pacific ranking was unchanged.
"It is heartening to know that our latest ranking brings us within a whisker of our aim of being among the top five wealth managers in the region," Ms Tan Su Shan, DBS' Group Head of Consumer Banking and Wealth Management, said in a statement.
"Our focus will be on improving the digital capabilities of our platform," she added.
Swiss giant UBS topped the Asia-Pacific ranking once again, with US$274 billion in AUM last year. It was followed by Citi and Credit Suisse, which stayed in second and third position respectively.
Asian Private Banker said AUM at Asia's largest private banks stalled last year, with total AUM among the 20 largest banks falling to US$1.47 trillion from US$1.54 billion in 2014. There was a marginal decline in the number of relationship managers who service the region's wealthy residents, it added.

Better technology, enhanced Home Team needed to fight terror threat: MHA

From enhancing airport immigration lanes to stepping up police recruitment - the Ministry of Home Affairs will roll out new measures for Home Team to deal with increasing security challenges.

SINGAPORE: With the threat of a terror attack on Singapore at its highest in recent times, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) outlined three key areas in which Singapore's counter-terrorism strategy will be enhanced:

1. Improving protective security measures for buildings and premises, including expanding the video camera network
2. Enhancing security response capabilities in event of an armed attack
3. Strengthening community response through a new national movement called SG Secure

Speaking at the Committee of Supply debate on Wednesday (April 6), Mr Shanmugam highlighted that demands on Singapore’s Home Team - comprising the Singapore Police Force (SPF), Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and others - have grown significantly over recent years, due to factors like an aging population; rising traveller and cargo volumes at checkpoints; new manifestations of crime such as in cyberspace and increased public expectations.
"So we are certainly not in an ideal situation... But we will do our best to ensure safety and security outcomes remain good. We need a new operating model, to enhance our operational effectiveness and manage our workload," said Mr Shanmugam.


BETTER USE OF TECHNOLOGY


To this end, Home Team will transform its operating model to adopt a data-driven, tiered and differentiated frontline approach, the Home Affairs Minister said. This entails using data analytics to anticipate where safety and security emergencies might take place, and “intelligently” deploying resources to these hotspots.
Technology will play an essential role here, with police implementing a new PolCam 2.0 programme to install video cameras at public areas in HDB estates, such as town centres, neighbourhood centres, and pedestrian walkways.
Additionally, all motorcycle counters at land checkpoints will be equipped with automated clearance facilities by year-end, and the upcoming Changi Airport Terminal 4 will have enhanced automated immigration lanes with biometric checks and centralised arrival and departure immigration halls.

The Home Team will also use all intelligence and investigation tools available, said Mr Shanmugam.
“We will have to make better use of available data, for example public transport video cameras and Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) systems, these contain important data that can be vital to our safety and security,” he said.
“We had initially taken the position that some of these data would not be used. But in this changed security environment, the Home Team must be able to collect and analyse suspicious travel patterns and respond swiftly and decisively for our collective security. If we don't rely on existing data, then we have to spend taxpayers' money to redo the entire infrastucture."


IMPORTANCE OF MANPOWER
Noting that such technology and systems must be paired with competent personnel, Mr Shanmugam announced that SPF will step up recruitment this year to build the new ERTs and bolster the existing Special Operations Command (SOC). This is crucial even as the nation faces a manpower crunch with fewer youths entering the workforce each year, he said, adding that "if we don't, we take unacceptable risks".
The police will also revamp its scheme of service to both attract the young as well as retain its best. This will see SPF replacing its current system of separate structures for junior and senior officers - where only graduates can hold ranks starting from Inspector - with a unified scheme to provide seamless advancement opportunities up the ranks for good diploma holders, said Mr Shanmugam.
SPF will also introduce new career developmental pathways for officers with specialised skills in investigation, intelligence and special operations. These changes will be progressively extended to the rest of the Home Team departments, with more details to be announced at the Police Workplan Seminar later this month.
Home Team will also increasingly draw on its ranks of National Servicemen (NSmen), deploying more of them along with Full-Time National Servicemen (NSFs) to frontline positions, leadership roles, and specialist positions, according to Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs Amrin Amin.
SPF will call on both NSFs and NSmen to set up a new Protective Security Command (ProCom), which will protect critical infrastructure in national emergency situations, and oversee protective security functions during peacetime. SCDF, meanwhile, has already established new positions at its Marine Command to enable deployment of NSmen in daily operations as part of In-Camp Training.
“Our fight is against extremism and violence, not against any particular religion,” said Mr Shanmugam. “We must take a collective stand against those who threaten our harmony and way of life, and do all we can to protect the multi-racial and multi-religious soul of Singapore.”

Bible college

Bible colleges (sometimes referred to as Bible institutes) are institutions of higher education that prepare students for Church ministry with theological education, Biblical studies and practical ministry training.

Bible colleges primarily offer undergraduate degrees, but may also offer graduate degrees and/or lower-level associate degrees, "certificates", or "diplomas" in specialized areas of Christian training, where a full degree is not required.

The Association for Biblical Higher Education asserts that "there are more than 1,200 Bible schools and colleges in the United States and Canada", and that Bible colleges produce "a large percentage of North American evangelical missionaries and serve as a primary training center for local church leadership".[1] The South Pacific Association of Bible Colleges claims that "more than fifty percent of all Protestant missionaries in the world today are graduates of the Bible Colleges".[2] According to Theology-Degrees.com, there are over 300 accredited Bible colleges in the United States as of November 2012.[3]

There are around 200 post-secondary Bible institutions throughout North America that are affiliated with the Association for Biblical Higher Education.[4] In 1997, there were 400 Bible colleges, representing 31,000 students, in the United States and Canada. There are over 1,200 post-secondary Bible institutes in North America.[5] Moody Bible Institute was one of the first Bible institutes.

Each country has its own governmental process for approval or accreditation of higher education. The Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) accredits many Bible colleges in the United States. Bible colleges may also be accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, by regional accreditors, or by international counterparts. About 25 U.S. Bible colleges hold accreditation by regional accreditors, which accredit most academically oriented colleges and universities in the United States.^[12]
In the UK, from 2007 to 2012, all Bible colleges (along with all independent colleges of higher education) needed to be accredited under the authority of UK Border Agency by either the British Accreditation Council (BAC) or Accreditation Service for International Colleges (ASIC). The government then changed this in 2012 to the need to have compulsory "Education Oversight" from organisations such as QAA, ISI and Bridge Schools Inspectorate.^[13]
In the United States, some Bible colleges and institutes purposefully operate without conventional educational accreditation, or even governmental licensing. These institutions typically claim exemption due to the religious nature of their programs, that involving an outside agency in this capacity would compromise their missions. Paul Chappell, founder and president of West Coast Baptist College explained the basis for his refusal to seek accreditation for that school, writing: "The local church should have no approving agency over its ministry. I believe this position to be consistent with the Scriptures and with our Baptist distinctives... A study of history would reveal that educational institutions begin to waver when they become more interested in what the world thinks of them than what God insists upon. ...For the accredited college, the approval of an accrediting agency becomes its 'life’s blood.' ...It is my firm conviction that the 'life blood' of a Christian college should be nothing other than the living Word of God itself."^[14]

Corner-cutting repairs

Some insurers push policyholders to urge their cars fastened at given repair outlets, that left our readers less happy, so the businesses will cut prices, typically through use of cheaper aftermarket replacement elements.

Some value factors ar on the far side your management, however there is still masses you'll be able to do to chop your premiums for the machine coverage you would like.
Control insurance underwriter value factors
Do a rate check each two or three years

Car insurance may be a major expense that you will pay as long as you own a automotive, thus you must invest time to urge the most effective deal. Premiums vary wide by state and carrier. however typically speaking, you will pay $9,000 to $14,000 over ten years if you are single to insure one car; $13,000 to $20,800 for 2 cars if you are married.

Unfortunately, most shoppers, 75 percent, haven't shopped for machine insurance within the previous year, and of these United Nations agency did, most researched only 1 or 2 firms, per one recent insurance-industry survey. By trying additional abroad, you will have a much better shot at savings.

Because your coverage wants and credit scores amendment, and insurers typically update their costs each six to twelve months, repeat this looking comparison each 2 or 3 years.

Also search the market whenever your state of affairs changes, say, if you marry otherwise you got to add a youngster to your policy. raise your insurance underwriter what the amendment can mean for your policy, then buy a much better deal. chuck obtaining a separate policy for your teen; we tend to priced that, too, for our 16-year-old sample boy and woman drivers with their own policies, and therefore the premium was nearly always over the rise in value from adding the youngsters to their family policy.
Pick a top-rated insurance underwriter

Saving isn't solely a matter of finding the bottom premium. associate insurance underwriter will charge less in premiums however value you a lot of overall by lowballing loss estimates, hassling the fix-it shop to chop corners, and forcing you to pay further for the manufacturer's replacement elements if you decide on them over cheaper knockoffs. It may also below the belt get up your premiums when associate accident.

We surveyed sixty four,872 ConsumerReports.org subscribers United Nations agency filed a claim between 2011 and 2014. 88 p.c of them were extremely happy with the handling of their claims. Among the highest-rated teams were USAA, Amica, and NJM, with overall satisfaction uncountable ninety or higher. Those 3 insurers have systematically earned  positions at the highest of our ratings a minimum of since 1999. convenience for a few insurers is restricted by region or client eligibility rules.
Set the deductible right

A higher deductible reduces your premium as a result of you pay a lot of out of pocket if you have got a claim. Hiking your deductible from zero to $1,000 will cut your premium on collision by zero to forty seven p.c, on average, reckoning on that state you reside in. The dollar savings, that ar associated with the general value of insurance in your state, ranged from $159 or twenty p.c in Ohio to $1,080 or forty seven p.c in Georgia for the sample single drivers we tend to studied. If you have got an honest driving record associated haven't had an at-fault accident in years, or ever, choosing the next deductible on collision may well be an honest bet. simply confirm you'll be able to afford to pay it if your luck runs out.
Review all of your coverage

Your liability coverage pays for bodily injury and property harm that you simply cause in accidents. aren't getting caught short by reducing your liability limits to the state minimums. shopping for a lot of coverage might sound like associate odd thanks to save, however the profit comes if you have got a pricey claim, which may place your personal assets in danger. purchase commonplace 100/300/100 coverage, that pays for bodily injury up to $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident, and property harm up to $100,000. If you have got a high web value, boost bodily injury to $250,000 per person and $500,000 per accident.

One of each eight drivers nowadays could also be uninsured , per the Insurance analysis Council. If you get hit by associate uninsured  at-fault driver, you will have to purchase repairs out of your own pocket, and smart luck suing the at-fault driver for damages. shield yourself by shopping for uninsured/underinsured automobilist protection with a similar limits as your liability coverage.

You can in all probability cancel your collision and/or comprehensive coverage once the annual value equals or exceeds ten p.c of your car's value. Otherwise, you'll find yourself paying a lot of over time than you'd recoup for repair or replacement of your broken, stolen, or destroyed vehicle.

If you have got another automotive that you simply will use whereas your vehicle is being repaired, you do not got to purchase rental-reimbursement coverage. Dump wayside help if you have got associate auto-club membership that is a much better deal. think twice regarding personal-injury protection and medical-payments coverage: Forget it if you have got physiological state coverage; keep it if you do not or if your usual passengers may not be insured.
Watch crash repairs closely

Claims payment is wherever the rubber hits the road in automobile insurance. Your insurance underwriter would possibly push you to use outlets during a direct-repair program (DRP) or use cheaper replacement elements, instead of the first instrumentality manufacturer (OEM) elements. Tests by shopper Reports et al. have found that some non-OEM elements match poorly, ar a lot of susceptible to rust and corrosion, do not continually meet federal safety standards, and will not offer smart protection during a crash.

In our survey, respondents' satisfaction with repairs was considerably lower among those that felt pressured to use DRP outlets and non-OEM elements. And respondents United Nations agency same they were pressured to use non-OEM elements had considerably a lot of issues with their repairs.
Take advantage of discounts

Discounts ar designed to draw in the business of lower-risk drivers. continually explore what is offered, however the particular dollar savings might not match the ostensibly huge discount secure. for instance, the scholar driver coaching discount was value solely $63 in annual savings, on the average across the nation, for our sample 55-year-old family with a 16-year-old boy or woman driver on the policy. The discounts were value a lot of, however, in LA ($155), California ($334), and Massachusetts ($386). the great student discount, on the opposite hand, was typically a lot of remunerative. This savings, offered to families with students below age twenty five United Nations agency will show proof of fine educational performance, won our theoretic family a median national savings of $263, and was particularly high in MN ($471), California ($474), and LA ($688).

Also unsatisfactory were the discounts for our single drivers United Nations agency had vehicles with anti-theft instrumentality, like passive and active disabling devices and perceptible alarms, that amounted to solely regarding $2 a year on the average or 2/10 of 1 p.c of the annual premium. Another widespread discount, for purchasing your machine and residential insurance from a similar company, was value $97 a year on the average across the nation for our singles.

Some insurers provide discounts supported electronic watching of your driving habits. With Progressive's "Snapshot" discount, eligible drivers in forty five states plug associate electronic knowledge recorder into their car's knowledge port (available just for cars from model year 1996 or later). The device tracks miles and time of day the automotive is driven and the way typically you brake suddenly. If the device shows that you simply drive but average, avoid operation from time of day to four a.m., and do not stomp on the foot lever, you would possibly rise up to a thirty p.c discount. If it shows that you are a riskier driver, you'll see your rate go up by the maximum amount as nine p.c in some states. If you quit the program, Progressive will not use the information to line your premium, except in Alabama, wherever the insurance underwriter will use it for a year when you quit.

State Farm's "Drive Safe & Save" discount, offered all told fifty states, equally tracks your acceleration and braking, left and right turns, driving times of day, and speeds over eighty miles per hour.
Control your value factors
Maintain an honest credit score

For some shoppers, the recession has dragged down the credit scores that the majority insurers use to line machine premiums. In general, lower scores turn out higher premiums, however the impact varies erratically as a result of insurers use varied rate-setting formulas. thus if your insurance underwriter hiked your rate supported your score, begin buying a lower premium.

All states except California, Hawaii, and Massachusetts permit insurance credit rating, thus take steps to shield yourself: frequently check and proper credit-reporting errors; avoid department-store credit cards, which may hurt your score; pay bills on time; keep your credit balances low in relevancy your credit limits; and raise to be re-scored once annually.

Most necessary, if your finances are adversely littered with the recession, military readying, divorce, job loss, death of a friend, medical issues, fraud, or alternative factors out of your management, raise your insurance underwriter for a unprecedented life circumstances exception. If the insurance underwriter grants your request, your poor insurance credit score will not be used against you to get up your rate.
Report reduced mileage

A major value part in machine insurance is miles driven annually. the common is regarding twelve,000. however if you've got modified jobs and commute fewer miles, the lower mileage would possibly translate into lower premiums. a brand new job that is solely half-dozen miles nearer than your recent one may cut back your annual travel miles by three,000 and cut your annual premium by $50. Let your insurance underwriter recognize if you've got retired or lost your job; your reduced driving may cut five to ten p.c off your premiums.
Choose your automotive sagely

Vehicle harm is that the biggest value part for machine insurers. thus your premiums can vary by machine model. once examination models, raise your dealer to indicate you the "Relative Collision Insurance value data leaflet," created annually by the National main road Traffic Safety Administration. The main road Loss knowledge Institute conjointly posts knowledge on collision, bodily injury and property-damage liability, and alternative kinds of losses by vehicle model at hldi.org/research/hldi/composite_intro.html. Or raise your insurance underwriter for premium quotes on the various models into account.
Manage teenage-driver risk

Teenage drivers have higher accident rates. immatureness and lack of driving expertise facilitate build motor-vehicle crashes the leading explanation for death for U.S. teenagers, though the . you'll be able to shield your kid and cut your rates. thus adding a young person to your policy will hike your prices by ninety p.c, on the average across the nation. however the common will increase we tend to found for our model 55-year-old family with a 16-year-old boy or woman driver intercalary to the family policy varied by state, from a coffee of sixteen p.c in Hawaii to a high of 159 p.c in North geographical region.

Protect yourself by not merely presumptuous you will have to pay a fortune. 1st ascertain what your current insurance underwriter can charge for the intercalary young  driver, then search around for a much better deal. Some insurers charged our sample family the maximum amount as 250 p.c a lot of for adding a 16-year-old driver to the family policy; others charged plenty less.

Forget about obtaining a separate policy for your child; we tend to priced that for our 16-year-old sample drivers, and it value thousands of dodlollalrasrs over the rise from adding the teenager to our 55-year-old married couple's policy.

To better shield your child's safety, do not let your young  get his or her own wheels. "Young individuals drive a lot of responsibly after they share the family automotive, as a result of they do not wish to urge in bother for damaging it," advises Ruth Shults, a senior medical scientist at the {cdc|Center for Disease management and hindrance|CDC|agency|federal agency|government agency|bureau|office|authority} within the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Shults conjointly recommends that oldsters supervise their child's driving, even on the far side the time demand for that below today's graduated driver licensing programs.

Finally, raise your insurance underwriter regarding the "student away" discount, for youths off at a sufficiently distant faculty while not a automotive. Insurers say which will save to seven p.c.
Beware of hidden value factors
Are inexpensive replacement bumpers safe?

A number of machine insurers have counseled or needed use of aftermarket crash elements, that ar typically created in overseas factories and might be considerably cheaper than the elements from original instrumentality makers. sadly, the elements may also be cheaper in quality.

Some safety consultants ar involved regarding the inner bumper parts: a bumper beam, bumper isolators, foam, crush cans, brackets, and radiator supports. during a frontal crash, those items work along to properly transmit the crash pulse, or vibrations from impact energy that moves through the vehicle, to air-bag sensors and far from the rider compartment to cut back or stop injury.

"There's plenty of engineering that goes into creating a crash-protection system," says David Zuby, chief analysis officer for the Insurance Institute for main road Safety. "You cannot approach} amendment those elements as a result of the system might not work the way it had been designed."

Automakers have found frightful quality variations after they checked aftermarket elements that ar oversubscribed cheaply to switch the usually a lot of pricey original manufacturer replacement elements. Ford, for instance, rumored that its engineers had found that one bumper bar was fabricated from steel, rather than the ultra-high-strength steel that the first Ford half uses. A radiator support was fabricated from plastic rather than the Mg utilized in the Ford half. In computer-simulated crash tests, the fakes modified the temporal order of the crash pulse, which could have an effect on air-bag readying.
