<title>3VOOR12 - Luisterpaal - Full Album Streams</title>
<link>http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/</link>
<description>&quot;This is a Dutch site, in Dutch, leaving me with next to no idea what is going on here--except that, clearly, this site at any given time hosts a bunch of cool album streams. It's all very legal and above board, as the Luisterpaal (which might or might not mean &quot;listening pole&quot;) is part of something called the VPRO, which is a television and radio network in the Netherlands. As far as I can see you'll find streams here that you won't anywhere else, and they change with unrelenting regularity. Best of all, the people behind this have really eclectic--and excellent--taste. Highly recommended&quot;

<description>It is no secret Gotham Gal is one of my favorites and is a top content creator ! I once posted a comment on her husband’s web site that I still took notes on  Crain StationaryWith A Quill pen ! http://www.crane.com/

My mother was very well educated and in our house Etiquette was king ! We had beautiful Crane Note paper and I still remember even though I was born in 1936-having to write hundreds of thank you note’s to people who attended my Bar Mitzvah ! I of course used a Parker 51 Fountain Pen that I got as a gift !  When I turned 21 I had my own Crain Stationary that was blind embossed with a simple line in the left hand column and the store where I bought it had to register the embossing !  The stationary got me a lot of response from politicians and other people I wrote , they must have thought I was important !  Presentation is a very important element in any communcation !  I was always jealous of my Friends who attented Catholic School since their penmanship was a work of art ! They had the Palmer method applied to their fingers with a ruler !

I didn’t meet the ruler method until I went Hebrew School !  I  went to Detroit Country Day School for grades 1-12 and there was a lot of pressure applied to read and write ! Steve Ballmer also graduated from that School  a long time after me and I know dam well it gave him an excellent base for a career !  Most of the people at that school were Harvard Bound since the headmaster F Alden Shaw was a Harvard graduate ! Me I went to the University of Miami and majored in what they call today Communication, with a minor in Statistics  and it was the fifties so we all got 5th Degree Black Belts in Rum Drinking on a beautiful island 90 mies from Miami - Viva Ritmo Latino !  A good education will help you understand the Human Condition a long with a few wacks from a good Psychiatrist ! Both these elements temper your ego and make sure you are not a snob !  The internet is young and I have found a lot of people who created content that is presented  with good taste aimed at all of the US The Unwashed ! I strongly resent the critics on the internet who have no backround liberal arts critisizing others !  Teche’s are the worst at this since usually they have technical degress and have never learned to communicate with anything other than a machine !

My people communicators are Seth Godin- Davie Winer- Chris Brogan-ShelIsrael-Bill Israel-Andrew Badera-Frank Eliason-Guy Kawasaki -Fred Wilson-Gotham Gal and many more !

<title>Coca Plant from ebook of The Andes And The Amazon : or, across the continent of south america by james Orton M.A.</title>

<description>On the upper waters grow the celebrated coca, a shrub with small, light-green leaves, having a bitter, aromatic taste. The powdered leaves, mixed with lime, form ypadú. This is to Peruvians what opium is to the Turk, betel to the Malay, and tobacco to the Yankee. Thirty million pounds are annually consumed in South America. It is not, however, an opiate, but a powerful stimulant.</description>

<title>Using Fabric to Deploy CaltrainJS | California Dreams</title>
<link>http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/10/22/using-fabric-to-deploy-caltrainjs/</link>
<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;For CSS compression I just used cleancss manually. I also looked at cssoptimizer but it was a bit too extreme to my taste. cleancss is based on csstidy so I could possibly integrate that into my build.

For validation I have used W3C validators, but it would be nice to be able to integrate validators in the build step as well. For Javascript it seems JSLint would be a good option. I haven’t spent any time thinking about HTML and CSS validation during the build step, but obviously this would be a nice thing to have as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

<title>Aesthetics of Play: Online Proceedings</title>
<link>http://www.aestheticsofplay.org/perron.php</link>
<description>In response to critics of supernatural horror tales, H.P. Lovecraft commenced his now famous work of literature with this incisive reply:

    The appeal of the spectrally macabre is generally narrow because it demands from the reader a certain degree of imagination and a capacity for detachment from everyday life. Relatively few are free enough from the spell of the daily routine to respond to tappings from outside, and tales of ordinary feelings and events, or of common sentimental distortions of such feelings and events, will always take first place in the taste of the majority... ([1927] 1973 : 12).

Reformulated nowadays, Lovecraft might as easily have suggested that the appeal of the spectrally macabre demands that one plays its game. Because, while it is true that all genres are characterized by a set of pre-established conventions that generate a certain number of more or less precise expectations stimulating a certain reflexive game of guesswork and recognition, the horror genre might be the one that has been most often compared to a game. </description>

My work station has wall to wall windows and the following video will give you a taste of what I get to watch each morning.

naha and yaese 1 some human bone fragments from the paleolithic era were unearthed but there is no clear evidence of paleolith remains japanese jōmon influences are dominant in the okinawa islands although clay vessels in the sakishima islands have a commonality with those in taiwan the first mention of the word ryukyu was written in the book of sui this ryukyu might refer to taiwan not the ryukyu islands okinawa was the japanese word depicting the islands first seen in the biography of jianzhen written in 779 agricultural societies begun in the 8th century slowly developed until the 12th century since the islands are located in the center of the east china sea relatively close to japan china and south east asia the ryūkyū kingdom became a prosperous trading nation also during this period many gusukus similar to castles were constructed the ryūkyū kingdom had a tributary relationship with the chinese empire beginning in the 15th century in 1609 the satsuma clan which controlled the region that is now kagoshima prefecture invaded the ryūkyū kingdom following the invasion the ryūkyū kingdom surrendered to the satsuma and was forced to form a tributary relationship with satsuma and the tokugawa shogunate in addition to its previous relationship with china ryukyuan sovereignty was maintained since complete annexation would create a problem with china the satsuma clan earned considerable profits from trades with china during a period in which foreign trade was heavily restricted by the shogunate though satsuma maintained strong influence over the islands the ryūkyū kingdom maintained considerable degree of domestic political freedom for over two hundred years four years after the 1868 meiji restoration the japanese government through military incursions officially annexed the kingdom and renamed it ryukyu han at the time the qing dynasty of china asserted sovereignty over the islands of the ryūkyū kingdom since the ryūkyū kingdom was a tributary nation of china the okinawa han became a prefecture of japan in 1879 while all other hans had became prefectures of japan in 1872 following the battle of okinawa and the end of world war ii in 1945 okinawa was under the united states administration for 27 years during the trusteeship rule the usaf established numerous military bases on the ryukyu islands in 1972 the u s government returned the islands to japanese administration under the treaty of mutual cooperation and security the united states forces japan usfj have maintained a large military presence 27000 personnel including 15000 marines contingents from the navy army and air force and their 22 000 family members are stationed in okinawa 2 18 of the main island was occupied by us military bases and 75 of all usfj bases are located in okinawa prefecture 3 85 of the okinawans oppose the large presence of the usfj and demand the consolidation reduction and removal of us military bases from okinawa 4 repeated accidents and crimes committed by u s servicemen have reduced local citizens support for the u s military bases the japanese and the us government consider the mutual security treaty and the usfj absolutely necessary and neglected the awkward situation in okinawa for decades the rape of a 12 year old girl by u s servicemen in 1995 triggered large protests in okinawa as a result both the u s and japanese governments agreed to the relocation of the marine corps air station futenma and other minor bases however at present the closure of the bases has been indefinitely postponed these disagreements also contribute to the relatively recent anti japanese sentiment and subsequently ryukyu independence movement edit geography edit major islands the islands of okinawa prefecture the set of islands

20 degrees celsius for most of the year okinawa and the many islands that make up the prefecture boast some of the most abundant coral reefs found in the world rare blue corals are found off of

article by adding reliable references unsourced material may be challenged and removed november 2006 see also okinawan cuisine shisa on a traditional tile roof awamori pots having historically been a separate nation okinawan language and culture differ considerably from that of mainland japan edit language main article okinawan language there remain numerous ryukyuan languages which are more or less incomprehensible to japanese speakers these languages are in decline as the mainland japanese is being used by the younger generation many linguists at least those outside japan consider ryukyuan languages as different languages from japanese while they are generally perceived as dialects by mainland japanese and okinawans themselves standard japanese is almost always used in formal situations in informal situations de facto everyday language among okinawans under age 60 is okinawa accented mainland japanese called ウチナーヤマトグチ uchinā yamatoguchi okinawan japanese which is often misunderstood as okinawan language proper ウチナーグチ uchināguchi okinawan language uchināguchi still is used in traditional cultural activities such as folk music or folk dance there is a radio news program in the language as well 1 edit religion okinawa also has its own religious beliefs generally characterized by ancestor worship and the respecting of relationships between the living the dead and the gods and spirits of the natural world edit cultural influences okinawan culture bears traces of its various trading partners one can find chinese thai and austronesian influences in the island s customs perhaps okinawa s most famous cultural export is karate probably a product of the close ties with and influence of china on okinawan culture karate is thought to be a synthesis of chinese kung fu with traditional okinawan martial arts a ban on weapons in okinawa for two long periods after the invasion and forced annexation by japan during the meiji restoration period also very likely contributed to its development another traditional okinawan product that owes its existence to okinawa s trading history is awamori an okinawan distilled spirit made from indica rice imported from thailand edit other cultural characteristics the people of okinawa maintain a strong tradition of pottery textiles and glass making other prominent examples of okinawan culture include the sanshin a three stringed okinawan instrument closely related to the chinese sanxian and ancestor of the japanese shamisen somewhat similar to a banjo its body is often bound with snakeskin from pythons imported from elsewhere in asia rather than from okinawa s poisonous habu which are too small for this purpose okinawan culture also features the eisa dance a traditional drumming dance a traditional craft the fabric named bingata is made in workshops on the main island and elsewhere edit karate main article karate karate originated on okinawa there are several styles and even more sub styles among them shorin ryu uechi ryu goju ryu isshin ryu shito ryu motobu ryu shorinji ryu ryuei ryu and pangai noon edit architecture a traditional okinawan house okinawa has many remains of a unique type of castle or fortress called gusuku these are believed to be the predecessors of japan s castles whereas most homes in japan are made with wood and allow free flow of air to combat humidity typical modern homes in okinawa are made from concrete with barred windows protection from flying plant matter to deal with regular typhoons roofs are also designed with strong winds in mind with each tile cemented on and not merely layered as seen with many homes elsewhere in japan many roofs also display a statue resembling a lion or dragon called a shisa which is said to protect the home from danger roofs are typically red in color and are inspired by chinese design edit u s military controversy see also united states forces japan us military bases in okinawa because the islands are close to china and taiwan the united states has large military bases on the island the area of 14 us bases are 233 square kilometres 90 sq mi occupying 18 of the main island okinawa accounts for less than one percent of japan s land but hosts about two thirds of the 40 000 american forces in the country 3 two major bases marine corps air station futenma and kadena air base are located near residential areas one third 9 852 acres of the land used by the u s military is the marine corps northern training area in the north of the island 85 of okinawans oppose the presence of the u s military 4 due to noise pollution from military drills aircraft accidents environmental degradation 5 and crimes committed by u s military personnel 6 the okinawan prefectural government and local municipalities have made various withdrawal demands of the us military since the end of wwii 7 but any fundamental solution was never performed by both of the japanese and u s governments it has been claimed that some us soldiers raped okinawan women during the battle of okinawa in 1945 while the number of okinawan women raped by us troops is not known historian peter schrijvers states that an okinawan historian who has estimated that the number may have exceeded 10 000 and that this is consistant with the incidence of reported rapes during the first 10 days of the occupation of japan 8 in 1998 the remains of 3 executed presumed rapists from the occupation forces were discovered in a cave 2 in 1955 isaac j hart was accused but not convicted of the rape and murder of six year old yumiko this is known as the yumiko incident forty years later on september 4 1995 two u s marines and a sailor abducted and raped a 12 year old girl at the time of the incident japanese police could not arrest the men known to be involved because they had to remain with the united states military until charged in a court see u s japan status of forces agreement anti military base emotions erupted in some of the largest protests in recent history 9 eventually through political pressure the soldiers were tried and convicted in early 1996 as a result of this incident the status of forces agreement which was criticized for being too protective of u s servicemen involved in crimes underwent revision a movement to reduce the size of us military presence on okinawa gained popularity in november of 1995 a group called okinawan women act against military violence was organized to raise awareness of crimes alleged to have been committed by u s military personnel on the island sentiments against the united states military presence in okinawa were inflamed further by the michael brown okinawa assault incident in which a marine corps major charged with attempted rape and later convicted of the reduced charge of attempted indecent assault was not turned over to the japanese authorities at their request 10 okinawa authorities pressed for a modification of the status of forces agreement in an effort to remove the military s unilateral right to determine whether it would turn over a servicemember charged with a serious crime 11 tensions increased even more following allegations of an assault committed by an american servicemen against a minor 12 a restriction was imposed to all u s military and status of forces agreement eligible personnel at bases in okinawa and iwakuni in february 2008 it has since been lifted 13 in april 2008 the u s military charged a marine with raping a 14 year old girl in okinawa pressing ahead with a case that spurred protests against the u s presence on the island u s military charges against staff sgt tyrone l hadnott include rape of a child under 16 abusive sexual conduct making a false official statement adultery and kidnapping through inveigling or trickery hadnott was later cleared of the charge of rape and kidnapping and convicted on the assault charge with a prison sentence of three years 14 edit alleged former us nuclear arms base the japanese government strictly restrained the introduction of nuclear arms into japanese territory by the non nuclear policy three non nuclear principles prior to the reversion of okinawa to japanese administration in 1972 it is reported that 1200 nuclear weapons were deployed to us bases in okinawa 15 most of the weapons were stored in ammunition bunkers at kadena air base there are wide range speculations that not all the weapons were removed from okinawa 16 edwin o reischauer former us ambassador to japan in an interview with the mainichi shimbun in 1981 said that us naval ships armed with nukes stopped at japanese ports on a routine duty and this was approved by the japanese government in the bulletin of atomic scientists in early 2000 3 4 robert s norris william m arkin and william burr wrote that the united states has placed nuclear arms on okinawa this is disputed by the american government edit mcas futenma relocation the governments of the united states and japan agreed on october 26 2005 to move the marine corps air station futenma base from its location in the densely populated city of ginowan to the more northerly and remote camp schwab under the plan thousands of marines will relocate the move is partly an attempt to relieve tensions between the people of okinawa and the marine corps protests from environmental groups and residents over the construction of part of a runway at camp schwab and from businessmen and politicians around futenma and henoko have occurred 5 the legality of the proposed heliport relocation has been questioned as being a violation of international law including the world heritage convention the convention on biological diversity and the convention for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage in an article titled boundary intersections of unesco heritage conventions using custom and cultural landscapes to save okinawa’s dugong habitat from u s heliport construction the article even questions whether the current use of camp schwab for amphibious training violates these three conventions edit proposed solutions as recently as 2003 the us was considering moving most of the 20 000 marines on okinawa to new bases that would be established in australia increasing the presence of us troops in singapore and malaysia and seeking agreements to base navy ships in vietnamese waters and ground troops in the philippines under plans on the table all but about 5 000 of the marines would move possibly to australia as of 2006 some 8 000 us marines were being removed from the island and being relocated to guam 17 edit education the public schools in okinawa are overseen by the okinawa prefectural board of education the agency directly operates several public high schools 6 the us department of defense dependents schools dodds operates 13 schools total in okinawa seven of these schools are located on kadena air base edit sports football f c ryūkyū naha basketball ryukyu kings naha in addition various baseball teams hold training during

although clay vessels in the sakishima islands have a commonality with those in taiwan the first mention of the word ryukyu was written in the book of sui this ryukyu might refer to taiwan not the ryukyu islands okinawa was the japanese word depicting the islands first seen in the biography of jianzhen written in 779 agricultural societies begun in the 8th century slowly developed until the 12th century since the islands are located in the center of the east china sea relatively close to japan china and south east asia the ryūkyū kingdom became a prosperous trading nation also during this period many gusukus similar to castles were constructed the ryūkyū kingdom had a tributary relationship with the chinese empire beginning in the 15th century in 1609 the satsuma clan which controlled the region that is now kagoshima prefecture invaded the ryūkyū kingdom following the invasion the ryūkyū kingdom surrendered to the satsuma and was forced to form a tributary relationship with satsuma and the tokugawa shogunate in addition to its previous relationship with china ryukyuan sovereignty was maintained since complete annexation would create a problem with china the satsuma clan earned considerable profits from trades with china during a period in which foreign trade was heavily restricted by the shogunate though satsuma maintained strong influence over the islands the ryūkyū kingdom maintained considerable degree of domestic political freedom for over two hundred years four years after the 1868 meiji restoration the japanese government through military incursions officially annexed the kingdom and renamed it ryukyu han at the time the qing dynasty of china asserted sovereignty over the islands of the ryūkyū kingdom since the ryūkyū kingdom was a tributary nation of china the okinawa han became a prefecture of japan in 1879 while all other hans had became prefectures of japan in 1872 following the battle of okinawa and the end of world war ii in 1945 okinawa was under the united states administration for 27 years during the trusteeship rule the usaf established numerous military bases on the ryukyu islands in 1972 the u s government returned the islands to japanese administration under the treaty of mutual cooperation and security the united states forces japan usfj have maintained a large military presence 27000 personnel including 15000 marines contingents from the navy army and air force and their 22 000 family members are stationed in okinawa 2 18 of the main island was occupied by us military bases and 75 of all usfj bases are located in okinawa prefecture 3 85 of the okinawans oppose the large presence of the usfj and demand the consolidation reduction and removal of us military bases from okinawa 4 repeated accidents and crimes committed by u s servicemen have reduced local citizens support for the u s military bases the japanese and the us government consider the mutual security treaty and the usfj absolutely necessary and neglected the awkward situation in okinawa for decades the rape of a 12 year old girl by u s servicemen in 1995 triggered large protests in okinawa as a result both the u s and japanese governments agreed to the relocation of the marine corps air station futenma and other minor bases however at present the closure of the bases has been indefinitely postponed these disagreements also contribute to the relatively recent anti japanese sentiment and subsequently ryukyu independence movement edit geography edit major islands the islands of okinawa prefecture the set of islands

separate nation okinawan language and culture differ considerably from that of mainland japan edit language main article okinawan language there remain numerous ryukyuan languages which are more or less incomprehensible to japanese speakers these languages are in decline as the mainland japanese is being used by the younger generation many linguists at least those outside japan consider ryukyuan languages as different languages from japanese while they are generally perceived as dialects by mainland japanese and okinawans themselves standard japanese is almost always used in formal situations in informal situations de facto everyday language among okinawans under age 60 is okinawa accented mainland japanese called ウチナーヤマトグチ uchinā yamatoguchi okinawan japanese which is often misunderstood as okinawan language proper ウチナーグチ uchināguchi okinawan language uchināguchi still is used in traditional cultural activities such as folk music or folk dance there is a radio news program in the language as well 1 edit religion okinawa also has its own religious beliefs generally characterized by ancestor worship and the respecting of relationships between the living the dead and the gods and spirits of the natural world edit cultural influences okinawan culture bears traces of its various trading partners one can find chinese thai and austronesian influences in the island s customs perhaps okinawa s most famous cultural export is karate probably a product of the close ties with and influence of china on okinawan culture karate is thought to be a synthesis of chinese kung fu with traditional okinawan martial arts a ban on weapons in okinawa for two long periods after the invasion and forced annexation by japan during the meiji restoration period also very likely contributed to its development another traditional okinawan product that owes its existence to okinawa s trading history is awamori an okinawan distilled spirit made from indica rice imported from thailand edit other cultural characteristics the people of okinawa maintain a strong tradition of pottery textiles and glass making other prominent examples of okinawan culture include the sanshin a three stringed okinawan instrument closely related to the chinese sanxian and ancestor of the japanese shamisen somewhat similar to a banjo its body is often bound with snakeskin from pythons imported from elsewhere in asia rather than from okinawa s poisonous habu which are too small for this purpose okinawan culture also features the eisa dance a traditional drumming dance a traditional craft the fabric named bingata is made in workshops on the main island and elsewhere edit karate main article karate karate originated on okinawa there are several styles and even more sub styles among them shorin ryu uechi ryu goju ryu isshin ryu shito ryu motobu ryu shorinji ryu ryuei ryu and pangai noon edit architecture a traditional okinawan house okinawa has many remains of a unique type of castle or fortress called gusuku these are believed to be the predecessors of japan s castles whereas most homes in japan are made with wood and allow free flow of air to combat humidity typical modern homes in okinawa are made from concrete with barred windows protection from flying plant matter to deal with regular typhoons roofs are also designed with strong winds in mind with each tile cemented on and not merely layered as seen with many homes elsewhere in japan many roofs also display a statue resembling a lion or dragon called a shisa which is said to protect the home from danger roofs are typically red in color and are inspired by chinese design edit u s military controversy see also united states forces japan us military bases in okinawa because the islands are close to china and taiwan the united states has large military bases on the island the area of 14 us bases are 233 square kilometres 90 sq mi occupying 18 of the main island okinawa accounts for less than one percent of japan s land but hosts about two thirds of the 40 000 american forces in the country 3 two major bases marine corps air station futenma and kadena air base are located near residential areas one third 9 852 acres of the land used by the u s military is the marine corps northern training area in the north of the island 85 of okinawans oppose the presence of the u s military 4 due to noise pollution from military drills aircraft accidents environmental degradation 5 and crimes committed by u s military personnel 6 the okinawan prefectural government and local municipalities have made various withdrawal demands of the us military since the end of wwii 7 but any fundamental solution was never performed by both of the japanese and u s governments it has been claimed that some us soldiers raped okinawan women during the battle of okinawa in 1945 while the number of okinawan women raped by us troops is not known historian peter schrijvers states that an okinawan historian who has estimated that the number may have exceeded 10 000 and that this is consistant with the incidence of reported rapes during the first 10 days of the occupation of japan 8 in 1998 the remains of 3 executed presumed rapists from the occupation forces were discovered in a cave 2 in 1955 isaac j hart was accused but not convicted of the rape and murder of six year old yumiko this is known as the yumiko incident forty years later on september 4 1995 two u s marines and a sailor abducted and raped a 12 year old girl at the time of the incident japanese police could not arrest the men known to be involved because they had to remain with the united states military until charged in a court see u s japan status of forces agreement anti military base emotions erupted in some of the largest protests in recent history 9 eventually through political pressure the soldiers were tried and convicted in early 1996 as a result of this incident the status of forces agreement which was criticized for being too protective of u s servicemen involved in crimes underwent revision a movement to reduce the size of us military presence on okinawa gained popularity in november of 1995 a group called okinawan women act against military violence was organized to raise awareness of crimes alleged to have been committed by u s military personnel on the island sentiments against the united states military presence in okinawa were inflamed further by the michael brown okinawa assault incident in which a marine corps major charged with attempted rape and later convicted of the reduced charge of attempted indecent assault was not turned over to the japanese authorities at their request 10 okinawa authorities pressed for a modification of the status of forces agreement in an effort to remove the military s unilateral right to determine whether it would turn over a servicemember charged with a serious crime 11 tensions increased even more following allegations of an assault committed by an american servicemen against a minor 12 a restriction was imposed to all u s military and status of forces agreement eligible personnel at bases in okinawa and iwakuni in february 2008 it has since been lifted 13 in april 2008 the u s military charged a marine with raping a 14 year old girl in okinawa pressing ahead with a case that spurred protests against the u s presence on the island u s military charges against staff sgt tyrone l hadnott include rape of a child under 16 abusive sexual conduct making a false official statement adultery and kidnapping through inveigling or trickery hadnott was later cleared of the charge of rape and kidnapping and convicted on the assault charge with a prison sentence of three years 14 edit alleged former us nuclear arms base the japanese government strictly restrained the introduction of nuclear arms into japanese territory by the non nuclear policy three non nuclear principles prior to the reversion of okinawa to japanese administration in 1972 it is reported that 1200 nuclear weapons were deployed to us bases in okinawa 15 most of the weapons were stored in ammunition bunkers at kadena air base there are wide range speculations that not all the weapons were removed from okinawa 16 edwin o reischauer former us ambassador to japan in an interview with the mainichi shimbun in 1981 said that us naval ships armed with nukes stopped at japanese ports on a routine duty and this was approved by the japanese government in the bulletin of atomic scientists in early 2000 3 4 robert s norris william m arkin and william burr wrote that the united states has placed nuclear arms on okinawa this is disputed by the american government edit mcas futenma relocation the governments of the united states and japan agreed on october 26 2005 to move the marine corps air station futenma base from its location in the densely populated city of ginowan to the more northerly and remote camp schwab under the plan thousands of marines will relocate the move is partly an attempt to relieve tensions between the people of okinawa and the marine corps protests from environmental groups and residents over the construction of part of a runway at camp schwab and from businessmen and politicians around futenma and henoko have occurred 5 the legality of the proposed heliport relocation has been questioned as being a violation of international law including the world heritage convention the convention on biological diversity and the convention for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage in an article titled boundary intersections of unesco heritage conventions using custom and cultural landscapes to save okinawa’s dugong habitat from u s heliport construction the article even questions whether the current use of camp schwab for amphibious training violates these three conventions edit proposed solutions as recently as 2003 the us was considering moving most of the 20 000 marines on okinawa to new bases that would be established in australia increasing the presence of us troops in singapore and malaysia and seeking agreements to base navy ships in vietnamese waters and ground troops in the philippines under plans on the table all but about 5 000 of the marines would move possibly to australia as of 2006 some 8 000 us marines were being removed from the island and being relocated to guam 17 edit education the public schools
