About "Commonwealth Games - Costing Many Lives!!!" topic:

Construction workers building venues for the Commonwealth Games are dying in New Delhi because of a lack of safety equipment. Nearly 45 of them have died during construction for these games at different locations, and we cannot be proud of organizing these games on the death bed of these workers.

http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200910/r451420_2198395.jpg

Why safety is still neglected in construction industry in India, why required norms are not being followed as we all saw the recent fire tragedies where the safety of the building was compromised and leading to death. But the important thing here is that safety norms are not being followed even while building these structures forget about the safety of the building when it is finished.

So, how construction industry can ensure safety while construction is happening? lets discuss all the various aspects of construction safety and also the safety of the building.

One day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “It was great, Dad.” “Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked. “Oh yeah,” said the son. “So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father. The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls...

Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. This is different from After-hours trading. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders. Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options, currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and commodity futures. Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, day trading has become increasingly popular among casual traders due to advances in technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of the internet. First of all let me give you few tips that you must follow if you are going...
