JAKARTA [url=http://www.cheapairjordansshoesale.com/]Cheap Air Jordan Retro For Sale[/url] , Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia expected to see more Russian tourists after it saw surging arrivals of them last year, and has set a target of receiving 108,000 Russians this year, the tourism ministry said Monday.

Deputy Minister for Foreign Markets at the ministry I Gde Pitana said that arrivals of Russian tourists to Indonesia surged significantly last year.

"In the first seven months last year, their arrivals in Indonesia reached 66,074 ones. That figure was 57.16 percent higher than 42,042 ones in the same period an year earlier," Pitana said.

In a bid to meet the target for this year, Indonesia recently took part in Russia's travel expo event of Otdykh Leisure held in Moscow, he said.

During the 23rd annual event held last week, 12 Indonesian travel operators and hotels serving accommodations in Bali and Papua's Raja Ampat received high enthusiasm from Russian travel agents and potential travelers.

Pitana said Indonesia's appearance at Otdykh Leisure event was a strategic move to grab more Russian tourists during their long haul winter season traveling to tropical regions of Asia Pacific.

Russia is among 10 largest contributors to Indonesia's foreign tourist arrivals.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Last month was only tied for the third warmest on record, but it's still highly likely that 2016 will end up being the hottest in modern times, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Thursday.

The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for October was 0.73 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average of 14.0 degrees Celsius, tying with 2003 as the third warmest for the month on record, according to a monthly report released by NOAA.

"This is 0.47 degrees Celsius cooler than the record warmth of October 2015 when El Nino conditions were strengthening," said the report. "Including 2016, the past three Octobers have been the three warmest in the historical record."

Part of the reason that Earth's fever cooled down a bit in October was that La Nina, the counterpart of El Nino, has arrived.

"In October, La Nina's presence started to be felt, as global temperatures cooled from the record warm conditions experienced earlier in the year," NOAA said in a statement.

El Nino is associated with a warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific, while La Nina is the reverse, with a sustained cooling of these same areas.

From May 2015 to August 2016, the globe has experienced 16 straight months of record-breaking temperatures. That was the longest streak since NOAA records began in 1880 and it was partly driven by El Nino.

For the year to date, the average global temperature was 0.97 degrees Celsius above average, surpassing the heat record set in 2015 by 0.10 degrees Celsius.

"With only two months left in the year, the globe remains on track to be one of the warmest years, if not the warmest" on record, NOAA added.

TOKYO, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Japanese government on Monday vowed to do its utmost to prevent a possible terrorist attack from occurring here in the wake of the devastating attacks that happened in Paris on Friday, as the nation looks ahead to hosting a number of high-profile international events.

The pledge by the government, however, comes amid growing concern among the public about the recent recasting by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of the nation's military, which can now operate borderlessly and alongside allies in active theaters.

Japan's top government spokesperson told a press gathering Monday that antiterrorism measures would be introduced henceforth at a steady pace, while denouncing terrorism under any circumstances.

""We aim to implement antiterrorism measures steadily so that people can live in safety,"" Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said, adding that its information gathering methodology and terrorism analysis protocols will be augmented and put into practice at major transport hubs like ports and airports, as well as at other ""key facilities.""

Suga also said that the equipment necessary for such measures would be deployed and maintained.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary's comments come as vigils take place across Europe, centered on the capital of France Paris, which on Friday saw a number of coordinated attacks take place by the Islamic State extremist group, killing 129 people and leaving more than 350 people injured, 100 of whom remain in a critical state.

Suga on Monday denounced the actions of the terrorists as deplorable and vowed that along with Japan's own domestic antiterrorism efforts, it would coordinate with other countries in the ongoing struggle against terrorist organizations like ISIS.

""Whatever the reasons for it, terrorism should never happen,"" he said. ""It is natural that we will take such measures as we firmly condemn terrorism and will coordinate with other countries concerned, which I believe will ensure that people can live in peace,"" he said.

Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida has also pledged to stand by France, stating that such acts of terrorism are a challenge to both countries' shared values.

The chairman of National Public Safety Commission, Taro Kono, has been quoted as saying that the government will up its efforts to both collect and analyze terrorist-related data, in the wake of the Paris attacks.<. [url=http://www.wholesalenfljerseyscheap.cc/]Wholesale Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseysonlineshop.com/]Cheap NFL Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapwholesalenflnikejerseys.us.com/]Cheap Jerseys China[/url]   [url=http://www.cheap-wholesalenfljerseys.com/]Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping[/url]   [url=http://www.zachertzjersey.com/]Zach Ertz Womens Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.tyreekhilljersey.com/]Tyreek Hill Womens Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.tremaineedmundsjersey.com/]Tremaine Edmunds Womens Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.taysomhilljersey.com/]Taysom Hill Kids Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.samdarnoldjersey.com/]Sam Darnold Jets Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.russellwilsonshop.com/]Russell Wilson Seahawks Jersey[/url]
