One dead in ski chairlift accident in Switzerland

Thursday, January 3, 2008 

At 12:50 pm on January 3, a ski chairlift ride cost a German skier’s life and another German woman was left with serious injuries after the lift cable derailed from the mast sheaves in a windstorm. The derailed chairlift is the two-seater Fallboden lift at Kleine Scheidegg, next to the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland.

Two more Australian tourists were lightly injured. About 20 further people had to be evacuated from the stopped chairlift. Wind velocity peaking at 90km/h prevented a helicopter from rescuing the trapped passengers, complicating the rescue.

According to 20min.ch, the lift was manufactured by Garaventa AG, a major Swiss ski lift company, now a part of an international group Doppelmayr/Garaventa. When contacted no one was available for comment.

Shortly before the accident, a wind alarm was activated few times by a 60km/h wind. The operator decided to close the lift and waited for the lift to unload all passengers; at the moment of the catastrophe the bottom station of the lift was already closed, but 75 passengers were still on the lift.

According to the Swiss law, every chair lift must be designed to withstand a lateral wind load of 250 newtons (approx. 25kg) per square meter. However there is no law limit at which wind speed or lateral loads the chair lifts have to be stopped. This safety aspect is left to the responsibility of the operator. The safety of the lift was checked by the Swiss Federal Office of Transport in January 2006. This chairlift accident is said to be the worst in Switzerland for the last 8 years.

6 Fresh Tips For Saving Time

Submitted by: Marilyn Bohn

Do you want more time to do the things you really like to do? Here are 6 fresh tips to help you get rid of clutter in your home so you will have more time to do the things you love to do.

Several years ago my aunt went back to school to become a nurse when she was in her 40’s. Her husband was a farmer and he worked before sun up and after the sun was down out in the fields so the meal cooking and household chores were still her responsibility.

Because she was older it was harder for her going back to school and she had to work twice as hard as the younger students–at least that is how she felt. Her solution to finding time in the day to study, cook, and still get rid of clutter that somehow creeps into all homes was to not only use her time wisely but to find more time in the day.

One of her solutions to saving time was to mix her salt and pepper in one shaker. She figured this saved her a few seconds every morning while preparing breakfast before dashing out the door.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAP2LSEdQRY[/youtube]

There are many ways we can save time and here are 6 tips to help you save time all the time:

1. Pay bills on line and opt out of paper bills coming to your home. It is safe to pay on line and you can keep a copy of every bill paid as your financial institution notifies you when it is paid. This also saves time not having to file the paper bill.

2. Opt out of junk mail. Get your name off junk mail lists by searching on line for a company you want to sign up with to get your name removed. This will save you a lot of time not having to sort through all the junk mail you may receive and have to recycle.

3. Set up a family calendar where everyone can see what activities everyone is doing and when they are happening so you don’t miss appointments or double book. Be sure to write them in your own personal planner also. If you use an electronic planner you can send it to other family members also.

4. Get rid of clutter before it becomes clutter. If you don’t read magazines, unsubscribe to them. This saves you time having to go through them about every 3 months and getting rid of the ones you don’t read.

5. Get rid of clutter in your clothes closet. Clothes you don’t wear donate to a thrift shop where someone else can benefit from your generosity. This will free up space in your closet so you can save time getting dressed as you can find your clothes easier and match outfits faster.

6. Organize the night before for the next day. Set out the children’s clothes–or use a hanging sweater holder in the closet and plan out a week’s worth of clothes on Sunday evening. Each separate ‘pocket’ holds one day’s clothes. Check to see the cell phones are charged and anything you need to take with you in the morning is packed in your briefcase or bag. Hang this by the door you leave by so you can grab and go.

When there is less clutter in our homes in the cupboards, closets and living spaces it saves time sorting through it and looking for things we actually use and need.

Factors Affecting Gold Price

By Efren Evans

Price of 24 karats gold are determined by various factors such as season, world market, inflation, demand and supply etc. Price of gold coins are generally higher because of the high inflation. There are many factors that influence the price of 24 karats gold in India, and before we discuss about it, let us clarify the difference between ‘value’ and ‘price’ of gold coin. The price is the amount of money you pay when you buy a coin. On the other hand, value is the money you get when you sell it.

Seasonality: Prices of gold coins depend on the season. Usually, they are high during November – December and during the spring season. During festivals such as Diwali, Akshaya Tritiya, Ramzan etc., most of the jewelry stores offer sales and discounts. It is the best time to invest in gold as you get high discounts on the price tag.

Bad Economic Climate: Economic crisis will increase the price of gold, while a stabilized situation could steady the price of gold as well. The cost of gold is greatly influenced by other market factors also.

Demand and Supply: With its huge tradition and culture of buying and saving gold, India is responsible for 27% of the demand for gold in the world. Other countries such as Brazil and China are foraying into the gold market. As the demand for this precious metal increases, its price also increases proportionately.

Inflation: In India price of gold coins are greatly swayed by inflation. Gold is thought to be an inflation hedge. So, when inflation increases more and more, people try to lock their money in gold. This demand for gold in turn increases its price. If the inflation decreases, gold prices will reduce proportionately.

Collector’s Coin: If you are into buying mint or bullion coins, then other factors like demand and supply influence its price. The rarer the coin, the higher will be its price tag. If a particular vintage coin is in demand, then its rate will be pretty high. Another factor that influences the price of collector’s coins is the supply maintained by the dealer. If the dealer has more coins, then he would sell them for less, while a limited supply could increase the price. Another feature that influences the price is the grade or condition of the coin. Uncirculated coins in mint condition are very rare, therefore costlier than coins in circulation.

Before you buy gold coins, checkout the price of the day. There are numerous gold saving schemes that let you to lock your purchase for a particular amount. You can also browse e-stores to pick gold coins in a variety of styles and designs.

400 Australian soldiers sent to Afghanistan

Sunday, August 20, 2006 

400 Australian soldiers have been officially farewelled at parade in Darwin, NT, ahead of their deployment to Afghanistan on Tuesday. Wishing the soldiers well, Defence Minister Brendan Nelson says there is a high risk associated with the mission.

“We know that this is a dangerous mission but it’s also an extremely important one,” he said. “They will go beginning this week and be deployed over the next few weeks.”

The group will work around the southern Oruzgan Province. Rising violence in the Taliban heartland province earlier this month prompted Australian Prime Minister John Howard to further strengthen the capability of the Reconstruction Task Force (RTF). Approximately 150 personnel will be added to the 240-strong force announced in May.

Defence says the RTF will form part of the Netherlands-led Provincial Reconstruction Team in the Oruzgan province under NATO.

More than 1800 people have been killed in fighting in Afghanistan this year, 92 of them foreign soldiers (12 being Canadian). A contingent of 190 Australian special forces, supported by a 110-member helicopter detachment, has suffered a steady flow of casualties since September year, with 11 wounded — a rate of one a month. The Age reports the Howard Government has “kept secret” how soldiers suffered the wounds, or the extent or nature of the wounds.

Dr Nelson said the soldiers would perform command, construction, communications intelligence, protection and logistics support. “We must stick with our allies and stand up for our values,” he said. He told the troops they would be “dealing with people who are fanatically opposed to our way of life and everything we stand for”.

Dr Nelson says the Australian contribution will also include skills training for the local population to “ensure the benefits of the deployment continue long after our personnel have returned home.”
