The 211 And 985 Are Not Accepting New College Member

By Himfr Paul

Education secretary yuan guiren indicated: “985” “211” education system reform already locking the door to place, school decentralization

Our newspaper Beijing on March 7 report (reporter YuanChunLin ZhangGuo) is recognized as China’s top university organization won’t have new members. Education secretary yuan guiren indicated in attendance today fourth session of the 11th CPPCC national committee subsector education LianZuHui said, “985”, “211” has closed the door, no more new schools to join in.

“985 project” and “211 project” is to build a world-class university and the implementation of the project. “985 project” and “211 project” in most schools all belong to research universities. Yuan guiren indicated, said the ministry also will support in the future has distinguishing feature of college, such as those in the reform of the industry university, where ownership its single subject some still in international frontiers status. In fact, last year to the ministry of education “211 project” school investment amount to 500 million yuan.

Build a world class university Chinese had been high JiaoJie dream. Yuan guiren indicated that, the establishment of a modern university system is the most basic things to the development of the school. “Education is a cause of the whole nation, is a cycle long career, cannot say just anything, want to do what do what. Try wrong is the national education must reform loss. So, education reform must have a scientific design, macro leadership, then first pilot.” He said.

And set up a modern university system basically is to solve the problem of the management system. Yuan guiren indicated in three sentences generalization of the management system reform of direction. The first word is ministry of education to local autonomy. He said, basic education management authority in vocational education management authority place, also in place, while Chinese basic 2,600 college, central departments; 111, rest more than 2,500 management authority also in place. If each provincial education are handle, Chinese education you worked.

The second sentence is the government to school decentralization, and decentralization is the premise of colleges and universities should perfected university system. “You can’t say that in our system of what all not ready to quit is matter, want to prevent a put is messy. The place to put, but every school must also have self-discipline, these two aspects is complementary, but self-discipline is premise.”

The third sentence is the school teaching regularity and growth to follow the rules for management teaching. “It also depends on a set of university system, not the principal, the secretary want to do.” Yuan guiren indicated emphasis.

He admitted, constructing the modern university system is easier said than done, but not a day can put the system was built.

Yuan guiren indicated also said, we do more to introduce foreign education resources to promote the process of construction of a world class university. “With international, China’s basic education than is good, and bad is the child academic burden over-weight. Our higher education quality is not high, this is about to study abroad, no matter what country the good method, as long as it is conducive to the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics university has to learn absorption.”

Rocketeers find possible impact crater in Nevada

Friday, March 9, 2007

Imagine coming back from a camping trip in the desert. Then a few months later you notice in your photos from the trip that you camped inside a giant impact crater so big that no one documented it before. Could it happen?

During several trips to the Black Rock Desert, mostly while supporting the Stratofox Aerospace Tracking Team for suborbital space rocket launch efforts, Ian Kluft KO6YQ noticed some oddities in rock formations. He had a little experience with volcanoes, and some rocks in the area looked unusual. There seemed to be some lava here and there – but where was the volcano? He observed that even a large caldera should have mostly volcanic rocks. He then noticed some curved geographic structures in satellite imagery which made him curious if it might be an impact crater.

A TV documentary about meteor impacts mentioned some characteristics of impact craters. He went to the Internet to learn more. He noticed some of his own pictures of the area had cone shaped structures which might be “shatter cones” due to an impact shock wave that passed through the rocks. Discussion with others produced suggestions and volunteers who joined the effort. More circular features in satellite photographs were found. Igneous dikes through white layers of rock had been described and were visible in many photos.

The possible impact crater is 30 miles (48 km) wide east-to-west and 40 miles (64 km) north-to-south centered around 40.984045 N, 118.916016 W. That is in northwestern Nevada halfway between Reno and the Oregon border. The apparent ancient geological structure is so old that much of it is eroded away. The forces that eroded the Black Rock Desert itself, whether glacier or stream, have apparently cut through the crater rims and floor to do it.

Following an expedition to the area in late January, more possible shatter cones were observed in one of the rock samples collected. These are only formed by the shock wave of an impact event or nuclear explosion. The nearest nuclear test was underground at Sand Springs Range in central Nevada. Atmospheric tests at the Nevada Test Site were at the southern, and opposite, end of the state. So that points toward an impact if confirmed. But professional geologists will want to have the final word on confirming them.

In addition to shatter cones, rock samples were thought to contain shocked quartz because the criss-cross fractures looked like examples in online documents. But this group of volunteers doesn’t have equipment for proper photography of shocked quartz. If found, that would be another way to prove the impact origin of the rocks.

Columnar jointed columns hundreds of feet tall appear on some bluffs in locations that appeared consistent with part of a slowly cooling crater floor. But that alone only helps as part of a bigger picture, because volcanoes can have lava cool in columnar joints as well.

They also found local geological studies which described oddities which could be explained by an impact event. Layers of rocks in the mining district called Sulphur left geologists with a mystery about the cause of chemical alterations since 1980. The group compared it with information in online geological texts like “Traces of Catastrophe” by Dr Bevan M French of the Smithsonian Institution. Layers of impact ejecta seemed to explain the rock layers better than the previous theory about acid uniformly cooking the rocks across the region, and only in one layer of rocks. A separate 1980 study 40 miles away identified an immense air-fall tuff layer in the Soldier Meadows area as having been deposited in a single unit, yet couldn’t locate the volcano which produced this enormous volume. Fault diagrams published online by a mining operation at Sulphur on the edge of the circular structure from the satellite photo also look like curved terraced faults in the wall of a crater.

The mining geologists who wrote papers from 1980 to 2002 had not mentioned the possibility of a crater. But they were each gathering single puzzling pieces of information. A larger image seemed to be forming when putting the pieces together. The group hopes the information will be helpful to geologists who do further work in the region.

The theory hasn’t been put to any test by professionals yet. Some responses point out that the elliptical region reported as the possible impact crater could also be the volcanic caldera that the 1980 study was looking for. If so, such a large volcanic caldera would still be a significant discovery for the region.

This will remain officially a mystery for a while until the professional geologists get to study it. There is a lot of information available online for those who are interested.

Bangladesh security tightened following Pilkhana massacre and Bashundhara City fire

Friday, March 20, 2009

Following the Pilkhana massacre which occurred February 25 and 26 leaving 74 dead and the inferno at the Bashundhara City shopping mall complex March 13 leaving seven dead, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said security measures are being tightened countrywide across Bangladesh.

Fire drills will be enacted at all key-point installations (KPI). Fire fighting systems will be examined by the fire brigade and the public works department (PWD) to ensure functionality. Security measures will be enhanced supplementing areas under private security such as at the Bashundhara City Complex.

The Fire Service and Civil Defence Department requires modernization and needs new equipment to fight fires past the sixth floor of buildings. The Fire Brigade says it needs turntable ladders, snorkels, foam-tenders, lighting units, emergency tenders, fireproof uniforms, and rescue ropes for fire fighting and rescue operations. Transportation to fires is also an issue due to narrow roads, low electrical wires and congestion.

The Bangladesh National Building Code requires fire fighting equipment installed in buildings over seven floors. This code is to be monitored by authorities to ensure compliance with the new guidelines and to make sure buildings are being maintained.

The Bashundhara City Complex opened Monday for shoppers two days after Friday’s blaze. A probe is underway to determine the cause of the fire and to assess structural damage.

Loss of life was minimized as the blaze broke out on a Friday, the beginning of the weekend in Bangladesh, so offices in the upper floors were empty. The lower eight floors are used for shopping and the upper floors are all Bashundhara Group offices.

The mall is valued at Tk 7.0 billion (US$100 million). It is not known if the complex is covered by fire insurance.

It is estimated that it will take over two years to rebuild the area damaged by flames which were burned down to a skeleton. Bashundhara City’s technical advisor, Latifur Rahman, estimated damages at Tk 2.0 billion (US$29m).

Only one television cameraman has been allowed in to film the burnt area. None of the 2,500 shops, cinemas or cafes were burnt by the inferno. The seventh and eighth floors still experience smoke damage, and there was water damage to merchandise.

A three member committee is currently investigating the cause of the fire which will consist of Iqbal Khan Chowdhury, joint secretary of the ministry, representatives of the police, IGP Noor Muhammad, and fire brigade, Director General Abu Nayeem Md Shahidullah. The committee is required to report within the week with their findings. The forensics department is also sifting through the burnt remains.

The Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industries has also formed a committee which has begun interviewing witnesses and recording their testimony alongside the government committee.

It has been discovered that 150 closed circuit cameras were not being used when the fire started. Another mystery is why the mall fire fighting system has been found unused.

Why the fire burnt so fiercely is a matter to think….These matters seem to be mysterious

“In the shopping mall there is an ultra-technology elevator which runs even without electricity but we have found that locked,” Iqbal Khan Chowdhury, joint secretary (Police) of the home ministry, said. “Why the fire burnt so fiercely is a matter to think. We have to see if there was any incendiary substance there. These matters seem to be mysterious.”

Mall management has been asked to submit substances and items which would have been in the upper floors when the fire started. The fire erupted on the 17th floor and spread quickly to the two floors above and engulfed the three floors below. The aerial ladders belonging to the Fire Service and Civil Defence reached as high as the 13th floor of the 21-storey building.

Videos have been sent to the United States (US) for examination to assist in determining the cause of the fire and to help in the damage assessment. Experts from the US are expected to arrive soon.

Firefighters were brought to the rooftop of the 20-storey tower by helicopter. The only fatality in this operation was Baki Billa, a firefighter of Bashundhara City firefighting department, who fell when climbing down a rope from a helicopter to the roof of the building. Three other firefighters made the transition safely. At this same time, the chief security officer was safely rescued by the Bangladesh Air Force helicopter, a Bell 212. Six security officers of the complex also lost their lives.

Forklift Certification Find Out The Advantages

Forklift Certification – Find Out the Advantages

by

Daniel Frater

You should consider completing a forklift certification program if you re looking for a career that involves operating heavy machinery. You may already have a basic knowledge of, or even be quite good at driving and operating a forklift, but this knowledge isn t enough for you to get employed these days. With increased OH&S regulation it s essential that you have completed recognised training and obtained the certificate.

Forklifts are used to handle a lot of heavy lifting jobs in all types of industries. So even though there s a large demand for forklift drivers in industry and warehousing, many employees, who are un-certified – are not able to operate one and organizations are short of people able to operate a forklift safely.

Give yourself an employment advantage !

A shortage of trained people any area provides you with advantages if you re prepared to get trained and certified, recognised skills. Sos there are now excellent opportunity for certified forklift operators. The easiest way to get these skills and qualifications is to enroll into a recognised forklift certification program.

How to get qualified ?

If you want to operate a forklift in Australia, the regulations are that you need to be assessed within Australia. As well as industry and warehouse driving, workers in the field are also now obliged to be assessed, and if you have already been working as a forklift driver, you ll need to be re-assessed too. So

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_UfidMfj0Y[/youtube]

Find your local Worksafe office to get information on the forklift licenses you need.

If you have had your forklift licenses for a few years, check with the local office that they are still valid, as regulation has been passed on to states.

Forklift license renewal is set for every 5 years. There is classroom training required every three years to refresh your knowledge and provide updates of the recent Australian regulations.

To apply for forklift certification you need to be over 18. A different type of forklift license is going to be needed, based on your area of work and type fork lift. If you sit down with no handling of the materials, a simple forklift license is going to be enough. However, if you need to load and handle the stock as well, you ll need advanced training and a loader-picker license.

What s in the training ?

There are different formats of training: from videos to classrooms, and some companies even offer an interactive option. You ll also need some practical skills, which will need to be tested, depending on the forklift certification you apply for. Therefore you ll need to take a written and practical assessment to get your forklift license. If you don t prove your competency on the practical test you need to be re-assessed.

In some cases, the company you work for will pay for you, but if you d like to get the qualification yourself, there s a recent Australian regulation to provide funding for individuals. You can sign up for a full day-course, half-day one, or assessment only forklift certification, depending on your skills and competency. Some training organisations also offer on-site training to larger companies. There s a written test of 52 questions and a practical part where you demonstrate your ability to negotiate hazards, check the area and operate the machinery safely.

It is essential for all forklift operators to be effective and efficient. Reliable forklift certification programs cover the basics and intermediate points in forklift operation. The programs are usually structured in a straight forward manner and they usually offer training that allows a forklift operator to know how it feels to operate a forklift in the work environment.

To find out how

forklift certification

is advantageous for both employees and companies contact the Hunter Plant Operator Training School at

Garuda Indonesia increases flights, fleet; may buy rival

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Indonesian state-owned flag carrier Garuda Indonesia has been expanding, with the airline set to add nine new jets to its fleet and double its flights between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. Garuda is also considering a bid for defunct rival Linus Airways.

Garuda is expecting the imminent arrival of four new Airbus jets and five new Boeings. The Airbuses, A330-200s, are earmarked to fly international routes to Seoul and Shanghai starting in July. All four have Internet and telephone access for passengers. The Boeings, B737-800 Next Generation aircraft, are due to be in service by the 2010.

Also planned before the year’s end is the increase in flights on the Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur route from one to two per week. “We saw our current load factor[s] have reached 75 percent and even more during school breaks like June and July,” Said the company’s Vice President for Network Oversight, Risnandi. “This is very promising.”

Garuda is now reported to be considering a bid for Linus, who stopped operating on April 27 and have recently been stripped of the rights to fly their former routes as legally required for airlines that do not operate for more than thrity days. Linus still holds some documents of worth to Garuda for transfer to their subisidiary Citilink.

“I heard that Garuda intends to buy Linus who already hold an aviation business license (SIUP) and an air operators certificate (AOC) for the scheduled air services,” said Indonesian Director General of Civil aviation Herry Bakti S. Gumay to reporters for Bisnis Indonesia. He said that his office was in favour of a takeover by Garuda because foreign bids are limited to holding a maximum total of 49% of the shares in Linus.

Linus Airways’ President Directer Indra said that “we are flexible to acquisition, depending on the investor. If someone wants to buy 100% of the shares we can release our shares, but if someone wants take only a majority shareholding with us as a partner – we are also open.” Indra commented that he has had an informal meeting with Garuda CEO Emirsyah Satar but says that they never discussed acquisition by Garuda and that Linus is already in talks with another ‘strategic investor’ with a view to resuming operations.

Two airlines, Riau Airlines and Kartika Airlines, have both launched bids for the ten routes formally operated by Linus, which include four from Jakarta and three from Batam.

Garuda Indonesia’s Financial Direcotr Eddy Purwanto has anounced that US$650 million worth of loans from Bank Mandiri have been restructured. Garuda, who has apointed Rothschild’s as their international financial advisors, will now pay US$450 million by 2015.

Atlas V successfully launches spy satellite

Thursday, March 13, 2008

An Atlas V rocket has successfully launched a classified spy satellite for the United States National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The satellite, currently known to the public as NRO L-28, or Launch 28, is believed by amateur enthusiasts to be a signals intelligence (SIGINT) spacecraft, known by the codename Trumpet. The Atlas V carrier rocket flew in the 411 configutation, with a 4 metre diameter fairing, one solid rocket motor, and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.

The rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Space Launch Complex 3 East (SLC-3E), at 10:02 GMT (03:02 local time) this morning. Today’s flight marks the thirteenth launch of the Atlas V, and the first Atlas V launch from Vandenberg. It is also the tenth orbital launch of 2008. The satellite entered a Molniya orbit, usually used by the NRO for SIGINT and communications satellites.

The launch was conducted by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin, who designed and built the Atlas V, and Boeing, to provide EELV launches for the US Government. ULA president Michael Gass described the launch as “a proud moment in our company’s history”. The launch had been delayed by two years, from early 2006, due to a number of factors.

In addition to its reconnaissance payload, the satellite is carrying two small experiments. SBIRS-HEO 2 and TWINS-B. SBIRS is a test article for a missile detection system, slated to launch late this year or early next, and TWINS is a NASA infrared astronomy experiment. They will remain attached to the satellite for the duration of its mission.

Following the separation of the payload fairing, around five minutes after launch, all information on the launch was withheld, however about an hour into the flight, the launch was confirmed to have been successful. ULA will conduct its next launch on Saturday, when a Delta II will orbit a GPS satellite. The next Atlas launch is scheduled for mid-April, with the ICO G1 communication satellite.

Elizabeth II annuls Fred Goodwin knighthood

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Queen Elizabeth II, the British monarch, has today withdrawn and annulled a knighthood given to Fred Goodwin in 2004, heeding the advice given to her by a forfeiture committee. Goodwin is the former chief executive at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) and was awarded his knighthood by the British government of the time for services to banking. The committee concluded “that widespread concerns about Fred Goodwin’s decision meant that the retention of a knighthood for services to banking could not be sustained.”

Goodwin was chief executive of RBS when they purchased ABN AMRO, a Netherlands bank, in 2007. The British government subsequently bailed out RBS for £45 billion, amidst the late-2000s financial crisis.

British prime minister David Cameron stated about the annulment: “The proper process has been followed and I think we’ve ended up with the right decision.” Cameron and Ed Miliband, UK Leader of the Opposition, both believed Goodwin’s knighthood should be removed. Miliband called it “the start of the change we need in our boardrooms.”

Liberal Democrat leader and Deputy PM Nick Clegg considered it to be the “right decision”. “[A]ppropriate” was the word George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer used to describe it. “RBS came to symbolise everything that went wrong in the British economy in the last decade,” Osborne stated. Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland stated the title was given “for services to banking which could not therefore be sustained”, calling the decision “correct”.

Goodwin does not have the right to appeal against the decision, nor had the right to provide the forfeiture committee with any representations. The monarch holds sole responsibility for withdrawing all knighthoods; on this occasion Elizabeth II followed the advice of the committee, who decided to recommend the withdrawal to her. The Cabinet Office announced the advice had been given to the queen on the understanding that “Goodwin had brought the honours system in to disrepute”.

Speaking of the “exceptional case”, the committee explained: “In 2008, the government had to provide £20 billion of new equity to recapitalise RBS and ensure its survival and prevent the collapse of confidence in the British banking system. Subsequent increases in government capital have brought the total necessary injection of taxpayers’ money in RBS to £45.5 billion.” The committee understood that “Fred Goodwin was the dominant decision maker at RBS at the time.”

Until this announcement, criminal conviction and professional expulsion were the only causes for which individuals had their knighthoods revoked.

Vitality: How To Feel}

Submitted by: Vishal Pandey

Vitality became a rare thing in modern day living. We are running around all the time, pursuing deadlines, looking after kids, resolving work conflicts, fighting through traffic. Our hectic lifestyle takes a huge toll on our physical and mental health.

We are unable to pay attention on the fact that we are feeling worse than before because we became habitual to that feeling. It became normal. Lots of physical & mental health issues start surfacing and we just keep on taking medicine to erase the symptoms.

What we should do is to go deeper and sort out the root of the problem, the place where all the disorders originate.

Lets look at what vitality is.

You must have met some people, who emit an aura of positivity & energy. You feel great by just standing beside them. You cant help but admire them. You think Wow, where is s/he getting all that energy from?

And because of the fact that most of the energy in this world is negative, these people really stand out. They have something which has become extremely rare today Vitality.

It can also be called as having life-energy. You can sense vitality when your mind is working sharper, your body feels powerful & energetic, and you have enough passion & positivity to share with others. You are in-the-moment & much more resilient to the negative influences.

It is the aliveness in your being, something which was lost many years ago.

Now lets look at ways to get it back

How to increase vitality

1. Be on your Purpose

Being on your unique purpose is critically important for your vitality. It provides a flow of spiritual energy and a very powerful one. You can sense it immediately by feeling much more alive and charged after you do complete any action which moves you towards your purpose.

Your purpose is unique to you. No one else could walk on your path. Universe has created you with a very specific intent. You have to find your purpose but it is not very easy. Finding your purpose will be fully addressed in a future post.

Here, the point is to embrace your purpose. Move towards it with full intent. You will feel a special kind of energy rushing through you. As you continue to experience this spiritual energy, it will progressively become as important to you as your purpose.

2. Any Creative Activity

Whenever your create something, energy is created from nothing. You feel an instant surge and an elevation in positive emotions. This is also a kind of spiritual energy. Activities like writing, singing, composing, drawing etc are classified as creative.

First time I experienced this phenomenon was when I started writing articles for my blog. An hour of immersive writing can give amazing amount of life energy, in contrast to activities like watching television, which saps vitality. We end up feeling worse after.

There are some hurdles you have to jump through, for example writers block, but pushing through that resistance and creating just for the sake of it is like a blessing. It fills you up with a kind of satisfaction and vitality that you never felt before.

3. Physical movement

It includes all physical activities like jogging, aerobics, weightlifting, yoga, brisk walk, climbing stairs etc. Any kind of physical movement will fill you up with physical energy. Yes, you do feel tired just after you finish the exercise, but after a short while your energy levels go up through the roof.

It is one of the most motivating factors for doing exercise. This feeling of energy & vitality can be hugely addictive. And you can feel it immediately.

Lets take a common scenario. You are sitting at your computer desk for two hours. You are feeling low in mood & energy. If you make yourself get up (your mind will resist movement) and go for a five minute walk. It will instantly make you feel better. Immediately.

If you really want to charge yourself up, then get up from your seat at every twenty minutes and take a 2 min walk. You will not believe the huge difference in your mood & energy levels this little physical movement will provide.

Try to incorporate as much physical movement in day as possible for you. Just dont make yourself too uncomfortable. As with anything, there is a limit beyond which it will do more harm than good. Use your brain. Do what feels comfortable and slightly keep on increasing.

4. Wate

There is no secret that proper hydration plays a big part in sustaining high energy levels. Research shows that even a 3% decrease in the water level in the body can reduce an athletes performance by 15%!

The problem with most people is that they dont drink enough water. The common misconception is to drink water only when we get thirsty. If you reach the point of feeling thirst, then you are already low on water levels. It is much smarter to keep drinking clean water at regular intervals throughout the day.

You should ideally aim for three to four liters of water per day. Coffee, alcohol and soft drinks dont count. Plus, you should minimize or completely eliminate coffee, alcohol & soft drinks. They do nothing good for your health.

Try proper hydration for 7 days and you will feel a big difference in your energy and overall mood. You will want to keep this habit permanently.

5. Healthy food/ Nutrition

Handling your nutrition is one of the most important steps you can take to elevate your energy and vitality levels. You can do everything else on this post but if you are not handling your nutrition properly, you will always lack the life energy you really want.

Now, health and nutrition is a huge topic and impossible to cover here. If you want more details, there are many good websites on the net which will help you. Personally, my favorite one is -www.energiseforlife.com

It contains lots of really good advices which made positive impact on my energy levels. Do check it out and decide for yourself.

It is said that you are what you eat. So look at your food intake. Handle your nutrition. It is one of the best things you could do for yourself.

6. Proper Sleep

Sleep is something which makes an instant impact on your vitality. One night of poor sleep results in huge loss in energy levels. You will be drowsy all day. Your alertness, decision making and cognitive abilities will go down.

On the other hand, proper sleep will have you wake up refreshed. You will be fully able to tackle your daily challenges. Your mood will be awesome the whole day. You will be more alert, sharper and make better decision.

Athletes know the importance of quality sleep. They make sure to get properly rested before their big event. Body repairs itself when you sleep. This process can get interrupted due to bad quality sleep resulting from various factors like frequent wake ups, less time etc.

There are various factors which determine the quality of sleep. These will be covered in an upcoming post.

7. Meditation

Mediation is one of the best things you could do to increase your overall vitality. The best thing about meditation is that it recharges your physical, mental and spiritual energy levels. This property alone makes meditation special.

Lot of people associate meditation with eastern religion. But if you are an atheist, you will be glad to know that meditation can be done for the practical, day-to-day benefits without any religious associations.

In the simplest of forms, meditation is nothing but focusing your mind on a particular object or image for a period of time. Soon, I will dedicate an entire post on how to meditate easily.

8. Positive outlook

Life has no meaning except the one we give it. Universe has gifted man with the unique ability to understand and give meaning to the events. You are the creator of your life.

If you think the world is a bad place, you will find hundreds of evidence of why the world is a horrible place. On the other hand, if you think the world is a wonderful place, you will be showered with proofs of how amazing it is.

You have the tremendous power to determine what an event mean. You are doing it all the time. Mostly unconsciously, sometimes consciously. So I ask you this, as long as we are going to determine what an event mean, why not make it empowering.

This is an amazingly powerful concept if you just utilize it fully. I will go deeper in this topic in a future post. For now, try to see positivity in your life as much as possible. Be grateful for the things you have in your life.

Millions of people out there in the world would sacrifice everything just to have what you have right now. Be grateful for the opportunity you have. Be grateful for the body the creator has given you. Be grateful for the unlimited possibilities you have. Cloths, food, home, family, relationships, finances be grateful for everything.

Try to view the world in a positive light, in return you will be amazed by the vibrancy you will emit from within.

So thats it.

These are some of the most powerful ways to increase your vitality. Try to slowly incorporate all of these in your life for the ultimate result. It will take effort, but how you will feel would be well worth it.

Australian emergency services personnel exposed to asbestos

Wednesday, March 8, 2006

At least 250 members of Australia’s emergency services personnel in New South Wales have been informed that they could die from exposure to fatal levels of asbestos following emergency response training south of Sydney.

Members of the Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) unit are thought to be at risk. They were told last week they may contract life-threatening illnesses following training on a demolition site at Holsworthy Army Barracks. The site was created to simulate rescues in the event of a terror attack or natural disaster. It has been regularly used by emergency services personnel since 2004.

Some of the emergency services personnel spent up to three weeks at a time crawling through the rubble.

Reports claim that when notified last week, senior personnel were left devastated. It can take decades for asbestos related illnesses to appear and can take up to 30 years before those exposed can be cleared of infection.

In addition to the emergency service personnel, doctors, nurses and hazardous material personnel could also be at a mild risk. Even Morris Iemma, premier of New South Wales, who visited the site has been warned he could be at risk.

According to The Daily Telegraph, a repected Sydney newspaper, it has been established that “No proper tests were done at the site before it became a training ground for hundreds of top-level rescuers in 2004″,”Personnel were kept in the dark for up to a year about the asbestos before being told last week”,”NSW public officials and a host of ministers may have been exposed”,”Ambulance chief Greg Rochford and Mr Mullins have been at the site and must face a health clearance”, and”The Dust Diseases Tribunal is conducting an investigation into the long-term impact the mass exposure could have on emergency services in NSW.”
