Fire at New Zealand hospital destroys laundry

Wednesday, August 9, 2006

A fire on Tuesday night at Southland Hospital, Invercargill has destroyed a two-storey building which was used for laundry and cleaning by the cleaning company Alsco.

Junior doctors and interns were evacuated from the nearby hospital campus. A dangerous goods store nearby nearby was saved from the fire. The building was not close enough to the new main hospital building to cause any damage to it.

Morris Robertson, Fire Chief, said: “We managed to save a dangerous goods store near the fire but the laundry is a total loss.”

Fire crews arrived at the scene at 9.30 p.m. (NZST) and Morris Robertson said that the building was well ablaze when they arrived. The first was so severe that they had to call in other firefighters to help, including volunteers. In total there was eight fire engines and 35 firefighters.

The fire was under control by 11.30 p.m. but the fire crews stayed overnight, just in case.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Dr. Joseph Merlino on sexuality, insanity, Freud, fetishes and apathy

Friday, October 5, 2007

You may not know Joseph Merlino, but he knows about you and what makes you function. He knows what turns you on and he knows whether it is a problem for you. Merlino, who is the psychiatry adviser to the New York Daily News, is one of the more accomplished psychiatrists in his field and he is the Senior Editor of the forthcoming book, Freud at 150: 21st Century Essays on a Man of Genius. The battle over interpreting Freud’s legacy still rages, a testament to the father of psychoanalysis and his continuing impact today.

On the eve of the book’s publication, Wikinews reporter David Shankbone went to the Upper East Side of Manhattan to discuss the past and future of Freud and psychoanalysis with Dr. Merlino, one of the preeminent modern psychoanalysts. Shankbone took the opportunity to ask about what insanity is, discuss aberrant urges, reflect upon sadomasochism (“I’m not considered an expert in that field,” laughed Dr. Merlino), and the hegemony of heterosexuality.

Dr. Merlino posits that absent structural, biochemical or physiological defects, insanity and pathology are relative and in flux with the changing culture of which you are a part. So it is possible to be sane and insane all in one day if, for instance, you are gay and fly from the United Kingdom to Saudi Arabia.

However, because of drastic changes in the cotton market and exchange rate expectations, and many uncertain factors, operating environment will not optimistic.

1, January February 2010, the Basic Operation of the Textile Industry

1, production rebounded significantly. Gradually restored by the market demand and other factors, since 2010 the pace of China’s textile and garment production to speed up the growth rate was faster than in 2009. According to statistics, from January to February 2010, China’s textile enterprises above designated size 52800 accumulative industrial output value of 567.328 billion yuan, up 27.05 percent growth rate over the same period increased 24.4 percent.

2, raise the proportion of domestic sales, sales balance. Statistics from January to February 2010, China’s textile enterprises above scale sales value of 555,436,000,000 yuan, up 27.08 percent growth rate over the same period increased 23.95 percent, of which domestic output value of 451,239,000,000 yuan, up 30.35% growth over the corresponding period of 23.72 percentage points. Domestic sales accounting for 81.24 percent reached a year earlier, up 2.04 percentage points. January February sales rate of 97.9% of textile products, balance production and sales.

From the main exports by area, Zhejiang Province, export growth accounted for five total net increase of nearly eight percent nationwide.

View from the main export products, yarn, fabrics, made ups, knitwear export growth are more than three percent.

The four categories of exports 18.152 billion U.S. dollars, up 37%, an increase of the national textile and garment exports accounted for 77.8% of the total net increase.

Substantial growth in the first two months of exports, in addition to last year’s low base factors, should say that it is to restore growth, as compared with the same period in 2008, increased by only 10%, if after deducting price factors, an increase of even lower.

4, significantly raise economic efficiency. January February 2010, China’s textile enterprises above designated size achieved sales revenues of 543.3 billion yuan, up 27.9% over the previous year increased 26.6 percent over the same period. Total profit of 22.817 billion yuan, an increase of 9.748 billion yuan, an increase of 74.59% over the previous year increased 85.59 percent over the same period (down 11.01% over the same period last year).

Cotton processing enterprises in which two consecutive price increases above the cotton price increase, sales revenue of 889.058 billion yuan, up 10.57%, the growth rate increased 6.7 percentage points over the same period last year. Total profit of 6.495 billion yuan, the same period last 2.06 times. Sales profit rate 4.34%, 1.61 percentage points year on year increase.

Second, Increased Negative Factors, Operating Environment will Become more Complex

Situation from the ground two months, China’s textile industry, production, domestic sales and export performance in the data showed a relatively rapid recovery in growth momentum, it is noteworthy that the low base last year, to some extent will cause the main earlier this year indicators overestimate, but the industry faces this year, the operating environment more complex and more external and reducing its inventory.

First, pressure on exchange rate movements is expected to increase. Greece and other countries affected by the debt crisis, the euro began last December continued depreciation of the dollar against the euro has appreciated nearly 10%. As the dollar yuan is linked, this year, although the yuan against the U.S. dollar remained stable at around 6.82, but the 5% appreciation of the yuan against the euro, sterling rise 7%. Recently around the appreciation of the renminbi, in a dispute between the U.S. heats up. Even if the short term exchange rate changes to have much time being, but medium and long term exchange rate appreciation pressures still exist, re entered if the yuan revaluation cycle, it will seriously affect the export of China textile and apparel products, and industry stability.

Second, recruitment is difficult, labor costs. Subject to rapid economic rebound, the market demand and other factors, many textile enterprises in China coastal areas are facing a more serious shortage of laborers, “labor shortage” as an important influence factor in the current development of the industry. In order to maintain production, enterprises have raised wages, lower educational level, age and other restrictions, to ease the “labor impasse.” It is understood that the recent textile workers in some coastal areas have been as high as 30% wage increase. Substantial increase in labor costs will become effective in 2010 affected the textile industry, an important factor in reducing profits.Third, the supply shortage of cotton, cotton prices rose rapidly. Biao international cotton prices in February rose, driven by the rapid follow up of domestic cotton prices and surging domestic cotton price futures briefly broke through 17,000 yuan mark, spot cotton prices will continue to rise in the price, spot cotton prices in March rose up to a thousand dollars total This is a substantial increase in price this year to the second wave (10,11 last month were up 870 yuan and 730 yuan), the cotton for the past five years to gain the highest level.Currently 328 cotton prices across the board break 16,000 yuan ton, the price and the annual rate of increase is second only to the level of 03 04. If the October November last year, the cotton price is reasonable up, and has risen to a rational price, then round up the foam with a non rational or cotton, there is a certain risk.

Transitional cotton prices rose, the negative effects are starting to show.

On the one hand, the order of business operation rate decreased. Replenishment by domestic and international market demand, cotton prices rose higher than the cotton textile industry still capable of digesting the short term, while the gray cloth, cotton clothing rose less than the cost pressures on the order of business to run hard. According to investigation, a number of smaller funds are insufficient, inadequate post order company, has begun to stop taking orders, not to buy cotton yarn, part of the looms are also being parking, equipment Founding rates are falling.On the other hand, cotton prices push up prices of cotton yarn, cotton yarn imports continue to surge. Because large increases in domestic cotton prices, for the slow low cost pressure, many companies take the direct import of cotton yarn, cotton yarn import growth accelerated. According to customs statistics, from January to February this year, China’s total imported cotton yarn up to 170,400 tons, up 54.4%. From the perspective of country 1 February China imported cotton yarn from Pakistan, India, Vietnam and China Taiwan. Which imported 69,900 tons from Pakistan, up 63.05 percent, China’s cotton yarn imports accounted for 41% of the total. From Vietnam, India, import growth accelerated significantly, year on year growth of 121.72% and 44.13%.

Analysis of the main reasons for rising cotton prices:

First, demand exceeds the output. From cotton production side, this year’s cotton crop failure, cotton production 6.4 million tons, about 1.1 million tons over the cut. On the other hand, due to the textile market to pick up, demand driven, increased production and demand contradiction, cotton prices continued to rise.Second, control measures lag. In recent years, the main means of state regulation of the cotton market is collected, a cast storage, transporting and distribution of cotton in Xinjiang cotton import quotas. Storage during the last throw in the resource control capabilities have been significantly less than after the payment of import quotas, on the one hand the import of cotton to miss a good opportunity to focus on the other hand, stimulate the international cotton prices of imports rose in order to stimulate the domestic cotton price Biao up.

Third, store cotton reluctant sellers, increasing the supply and demand tension. Rise in international cotton prices Biao postganglionic case, the domestic cotton price rose rapidly with the holding of cotton business optimistic and store cotton reluctant sellers, increasing the supply shortage of the cotton market atmosphere. A report from the Agricultural Development Bank of the Agricultural Development Bank loans acquired cotton, has sold 1.157 million tons of cotton, accounting for 48% of purchase amount, which has sold 1 million tons in Xinjiang, accounting for acquisition of 60%, while the Mainland for sale proportion of only about 20%, that most of the mainland hoarding unsold cotton.

Fourth, scattered resources, the cotton market disorder. Agricultural Development Bank from a group of recent data shows that the Agricultural Development Bank this year put the number of loans and the acquisition there was a reduction, the new cotton industry into other funds acquired increased significantly. Ended March 20, 2009 cotton year running Agricultural Development Bank loans to total 33.2 billion yuan, down 17 billion yuan, down 33.8%, support enterprises to purchase cotton, 2.4 million tons, down 1.8 million tons, down 42.9%; average price 12280 yuan ton, up 1,400 yuan over the previous year. Spring Festival has been completed after the acquisition, the Agricultural Development Bank to support the acquisition of cotton cotton enterprises accounted for only 37.5% of the total, while most of the other funding sources for the acquisition of resources, transition resources, scattered cotton market was rather chaotic.

In summary, from the current situation, cotton, cotton effective absorbed rising costs of raw materials and active store cotton stocking, cotton, cotton yarn each other support, the linkage pattern of rising short term is difficult to change. But when the garment, fabric companies can not digest high price of cotton yarn, cotton yarn market crash, time will come, it is excellent in the current market context, we need to maintain a sober grasp the pulse of the sound development of market, I would like to visit Queer .

Squash lines up for the 2016 Olympics

Monday, May 26, 2008

Squash is among the seven sports considered for new events in the 2016 Olympics. The other nominated sports are baseball, golf, karate, roller sports, rugby and softball. Of these, four were nominated for the London 2012 Olympics, but none were chosen.

At the International Olympic Committee (IOC) session in Singapore 2005, squash won the vote to get into the Olympic program, but did not get the 2/3 majority needed for adoption. The new sports for 2016 are baseball and softball, with baseball having been in the Olympics before as a “test” sport, however it did not succeed and was only on the program for one event before it was removed.

Squash is among the favourites because it already in 2005 proved to be favourite for the IOC members at that time. Since 2005, according to the World Squash Federation (WSF), there has been a lot of work to get squash into the Olympic Games. A marked rise in players across the world has occurred, and approximately 13 new countries have been adopted into the WSF.

However, baseball is also considered among the favourites, because it has been tried before and because it is a major sport in the United States and growing in the rest of the world. Notably, Chicago is bidding to host the 2016 Olympics, and therefore a major US sport could be the natural choice.

The last of the three favourites is golf, because it is by far the most played sport of the candidates. However, it is seen as a disadvantage that the Olympic tournament may not be the top priority for the players, who may feel they would rather concentrate on the US or European tours.

Mukasey nomination as attorney general moves to US Senate

Tuesday, November 6, 2007

The nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey as the next Attorney General of the United States, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee today and will move to a vote before the entire United States Senate. Two Democrats joined the nine Republicans to yield an 11-8 vote. Observers believe that Mukasey will easily succeed in the Senate vote.

The nomination of Mukasey by George W. Bush had originally drawn broad support. Nonetheless, Mukasey triggered a political row, during pre-confirmation questioning, when he refused to state that waterboarding amounted to illegal torture. In the end, he was able secure the votes of the two Democrats after assuring them that, if Congress passed legislation that made waterboarding illegal, he would in fact work to enforce such a law.

Patrick Leahy, Senator from Vermont, who opposed Mukasey said: “Some have sought to find comfort in Judge Mukasey’s personal assurance that he would enforce a future, a new law against waterboarding if this Congress were to pass one. Unsaid, of course, is the fact that any such prohibition would have to be enacted over the veto of the president.”

I don’t believe a leaderless department is in the best interests of the American people

“Now, I wish I could support Judge Mukasey’s nomination,” Senator Leahy further said. “I like Michael Mukasey. We have many things in common in our past careers. I certainly don’t question his intellectual ability or his independence.”

The two Democrats that voted for Mukasey were Senator Chuck Schumer of New York and Senator Dianne Feinstein of California. Schumer has been reported as suggesting Mukasey as Attorney General to White House during the search for a nominee.

Schumer defended his vote, saying: “If six months from now … the same policies continued, the victory in defeating Mukasey would seem hollow. No one questions that Judge Mukasey would do much to remove the stench of politics from the Justice Department. I believe we should give him that chance.”

Feinstein said that her vote for Mukasey was because, otherwise, Bush could have an acting Attorney General, who would not need confirmation, until the end of his term. In explaing this, she said: “I don’t believe a leaderless department is in the best interests of the American people or of the department itself. [Bush] appointed this man because he believes he is mainstream.”

Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts did not agree with Mukasey’s view on waterboarding. “Waterboarding is already illegal under United States law. It’s illegal under the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit outrages upon personal dignity, including cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment,” he said.

White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said of the committee vote: “Judge Mukasey has clearly demonstrated that he will be an exceptional attorney general at this critical time.”

Abducted Richmond Hill, Ontario man walks into police station

Friday, November 3, 2006

A Richmond Hill, Ontario man is currently released after he was abducted and escaped last night.

Chee Kian Jeff Chan, 28, was forced by three people into a black Mercedes SUV (which was caught on security camera) in the parking garage of his condominium at 23 Oneida Cresant in the Yonge Street and High Tech Road area. A small amount of blood was found at the scene. He was dropped off at an unnamed location in Toronto Wednesday night.

The suspects were wearing black clothes and balaclavas covering their faces at the time of the incident. The licence plate number of the Mercedes SUV is not known because there was no plate on the front of the vehicle.

Chan walked into the Major Mackenzie Dr. W. police station, at about 6:45 p.m. last night, suffering from injuries and went to a hospital for examination.

York Regional Police say that he is a poker player, after hearing about a man with the same name that took seventh place at the River Rock Casino Resort near Vancouver, British Columbia on November 19, 2005, earning him $44,753.

No ransom note was received and police believe that it was an extortion attempt.

“He was unaware of a lot of things during his ordeal,” Constable Laurie Perks said. “He didn’t know what they looked like. His vision was concealed and so he therefore didn’t know where he was through most of his ordeal.”

It is believed that Chan’s three captors released him after 28 hours because of the media coverage surrounding his disappearance.

The investigation is still ongoing.

The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said that Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe must be forced out of office and face trial for his crimes against humanity.

“The time has come for Robert Mugabe to answer for his crimes against humanity, against his countrymen and women and for justice to be done. The winds of change that once brought hope to Zimbabwe and its neighbours have become a hurricane of destruction, with the outbreak of cholera, destitution, starvation and systemic abuse of power by the state,” said Sentamu.

Sentamu that the power-sharing deal that was signed by Mugabe and the Zimbabwean opposition in September was “now dead”.

Dr Sentamu’s statement comes after a severe cholera outbreak spread in Zimbabwe, and saw 12,545 cases reported and 565 people dead.

2006 “Stolenwealth” Games to confront Commonwealth Games in Melbourne

Friday, March 3, 2006

The possibility of large-scale protests in the face of the 3,000 journalists covering the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games, has event organisers and the Government worried.

The group “Black GST” – which represents Indigenous Genocide, Sovereignty and Treaty – are planning demonstrations at prominent Games events unless the Government agrees to a range of demands including an end to Aboriginal genocide, Aboriginal Sovereignty and the signing of a treaty.

The Black GST say they hope the focus of the world’s media will draw attention to the plight of indigenous Australians during the Games. Organisers say supporters are converging from across Australia and from overseas. Organisers say up to 20,000 people may take part in talks, rallies, colourful protests and many cultural festivities designed to pressure the Federal Government on Indigeneous rights issues. They want the Government to provide a temporary campsite for the supporters, saying “organised chaos was better than disorganised chaos.”

The 2006 Stolenwealth Games convergence, described by organisers as the “cultural festival of the 2006 Commonwealth Games,” was virtually opened on March 2nd with the launch of the official “Stolenwealth Games” website. Scoop Independent News and Perth Indymedia reported that the launch was held at Federation Square in Melbourne. The site contents were projected via wireless laptop by the Stolenwealth Games General Manager, and a tour of the website was given on the big screen. He said “overwhelming amusement was the response from the audience.” The group say permanent access points to the website are being set up at public internet facilities across Victoria during the coming weeks.

“Interest in the Stolenwealth Games is building all over the world and this fresh, exciting and contemporary site will draw in people from Stolenwealth Nations around the globe to find out about the latest news and events,” said a Stolenwealth Games spokesperson. “We have been getting many requests from around the world wanting to know about the Stolenwealth Games. We have provided many ways that individuals and organisations can support the campaign by spreading the word.”

The Victorian Traditional Owner Land Justice Group (VTOLJG) which represents the first nation groups of Victoria, has announced its support to boycott the 2006 Commonwealth Games until the Government “recognises Traditional Owner rights.” The group asserts that culture has been misappropriated in preparation for the Games.

Organisers of the campaign say they welcome the formal support from the Traditional Owners. “While some seek to divide and discredit Indigenous Australia, this support is further evidence that the Aboriginal people are united in opposition to the ongoing criminal genocide that is being perpetrated against the Aboriginal people” said Black GST supporter and Aboriginal Elder, Robbie Thorpe.

“We now have endorsement from the VTOLJG and the Aboriginal Tent Embassy for the aims and objectives of the Campaign and we are looking forward to hosting all indigenous and non-indigenous supporters from across Australia in March,” he said. The Black GST group have said “the convergence will be held as a peaceful, family-focussed demonstration against genocide, and for the restoration of sovereignty and the negotiations towards a Treaty.”

But the campaign has received flak in mainstream media, such as Melbourne’s Herald Sun, who wrote: “the proposal to allow BlackGST to set up an Aboriginal tent embassy at a site well away from the Commonwealth Games will be interpreted by some as the State Government caving in to a radical protest group. A major concern for the Government… is to protect the event from disruption… no chances should be taken…”

The Black GST has been planning the convergence for months, calling for Aboriginal people and their supporters to converge on Melbourne. The Melbourne-based Indigenous rights group have called on thousands of people concerned about the plight of indigenous Australians to converge on Melbourne during the Games, which they have dubbed “the Stolenwealth Games”. But the choice of Kings Domain has made conflict almost inevitable, as the area is one of the areas gazetted by the State Government as a “Games management zone”.

Under the Commonwealth Games Arrangements Act, any area gazetted as a management zone is subject to a range of specific laws – including bans on protesting, creating a disturbance and other activities. The protest bans will be in effect at different times and places, and offenders can be arrested. A spokeswoman for the Black GST, which advocates peaceful protest, said the site had been chosen because it was close to where the Queen will stay on March 15. “We figured that she is only in Melbourne for 27 hours or something like that so we thought we would make it easy for her to come next door and see us,” she said. “We are a very open, welcoming group, so she will be welcome to come and join us.”

Kings Domain is the burial site for 38 indigenous forefathers of Victoria. Black GST elder, Targan, said trade union groups have offered to install infrastructure at the site. The group initially worked with the State Government to find a suitable camp site, but the relationship broke down when the Government failed to meet a deadline imposed by the protesters. “While we are disappointed the ministers were not able to meet deadline on our request, we thank them for their constructive approach towards negotiations and the open-door policy exercised,” said Targan.

A spokesman for Games Minister Justin Madden said the Government was still investigating other sites. Victoria Police Games security commander Brendan Bannan said he was not convinced the Black GST represented the views of most indigenous people. “We are dealing with the Aboriginal community and they don’t seem to support it at all … the wider Aboriginal community don’t support disruption to the Games at all,” he said.

The Government was told that Black GST supporters would camp in Fitzroy Gardens and other city parks should it fail to nominate a site. A spokesman for Aboriginal Affairs Minister Gavan Jennings said the Government was taking the issue seriously, but had not been able to finalise a campsite before the deadline.

Under special Games laws, people protesting or causing a disturbance in “Games management zones” can be arrested and fined. While prominent public spaces such as Federation Square, Birrarung Marr, Albert Park and the Alexandra Gardens fall under the legislation, such tough anti-protest laws cannot be enforced in the nearby Fitzroy Gardens.

Games chairman Ron Walker has urged the group to choose another date for its protest march through the city, which is currently planned to coincide with the opening ceremony on March 15. The group believes that an opportunity to gain attention for indigenous issues was lost at the Sydney Olympics and has vowed to make a highly visible presence at the Games.

The Black GST said the Australian Aboriginal Tent Embassy’s sacred flame, burning over many years at the Canberra site will be carried to Melbourne before the Games, and its arrival would mark the opening of the protest camp from where a march will proceed to the MCG before the Opening Ceremony.

Black GST claims supporters from all over Australia, including three busloads from the West Australian Land Council, will gather in Melbourne during the Games for peaceful protests.

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Gavin Jennings had offered Victoria Park to the protesters. Victoria Park, former home of Collingwood Football Club, where one of the strongest statements of Aboriginal pride, when St Kilda star Nicky Winmar in 1993 raised his jumper and pointed to his bare chest after racial taunts from the Collingwood crowd.

Black GST, which has labelled the Games the Stolenwealth Games, said the State Government had failed to find a suitable venue. Black GST may encourage protesters to camp in prominent parks such as Fitzroy Gardens and Treasury Gardens. Graffiti supporting the action has also appeared in central Melbourne.

Melbourne City councillor Fraser Brindley has offered his home to the Black GST organisers. “I offered my home up to people who are organising visitors to come to the Games,” he said. Cr Brindley will be overseas when the Commonwealth Games are held and has offered the free accommodation at his flat at Parkville. He said he agreed with the protesters’ view that treaties needed to be signed with indigenous Australians. “I’m offering it up to the indigenous people who are coming to remind Her Majesty that her Empire took this land from them,” said Cr Brindlley. Nationals leader Peter Ryan said: “This extremist group has no part in the Australian community.” Melbourne councillor Peter Clarke said the actions were embarrassing and that he would try to discourage him. “It’s not in the spirit of the Games,” he said.

Aboriginal elder, Targan, said the possibility of securing Victoria Park was delightfully ironic. “There’s a lot of irony going on,” Targan, 53, a PhD student at Melbourne University, said. “GST stands for Genocide, Sovereignty and Treaty. We want the genocide of our people to stop; we want some sovereignty over traditional land, certainly how it is used, and we want a treaty with the government,” Targan said.
