Truckies could foot the bill for NSW Pacific Highway upgrade

Sunday, January 8, 2006

Just two weeks after a join statement by Australian federal roads minister Jim Lloyd and his New South Wales counterpart Joe Tripoldi that tolls may be used to fast track upgrades of the Pacific Highway, acting Prime Minister Mark Vaile suggested that truck operators could pay up to a $70 toll.

Mr Vaile claims that industry sources claim that it is $400 less for a B-double semi trailer to drive from Sydney to Brisbane via the Pacific Highway than the New England Highway (which is the national highway) because of the upgrades carried out over the past 10 years.

Mr Valie claims the transport industry would accept a $70 toll. “Anything we do is going to enhance their efficiency”. “Therefore the transport industry would be prepared to pay a toll – not just a $5 or $7 or $10 toll. For Sydney to Brisbane, who knows, (they could pay) a $50 to $70 toll, because these efficiencies are so significant now in running that sector.”

The federal and state governments have committed to converting the highway to dual carriageway between Sydney and Port Macquarie and Brisbane and Byron Bay within three years. The remainder of the highway (with the exception of the section replaced by the Sydney – Newcastle Freeway was scheduled to be completed by 2016.

Mr Vaile said that the New South Wales government should look at using public-private partnerships to fund upgrades between Port Macquarie and Byron Bay. He further hinted that regular motorists would still pay tolls, although they would be variable depending on the length of highway used.

Kathy and Greg Campbell who lost Greg’s mother and their daughters Becky, 9, and Jessy, 8, when a truck slammed into their car head on south of Buladelah said the number of trucks which use the single carriageway section is an outrage. Ms Campbell said that the federal government received AU$14 billion a year in fuel excise from motorists and the estimated cost to complete the highway upgrade was AU$8 billion.

How To Make Your Skin Fairer

Author: Admin     03 3rd, 2021 in Fertility Treatments     No Comments »

By Janice Tham

Have you ever longed for fairer, brighter skin? Strange isn’t it? How some very fair ladies feel they look sickly and bask in the sun for a so called healthy tan. They were healthier pale than browned because a tan is a sign of sun damage. If you are born brown, then you would be the envy of these women. Then again, the grass is always greener on the other side. Dark girls often want to be fair.

Modern technology is amazing. A pale girl can get tan skin without even stepping out in the sun. Thanks to self tanners in the form of lotions or even pills.

Likewise, dark girls can go fairer. Going to a plastic surgeon for skin bleaching can give you very drastic results. Your best bet is to stay out of the sun and use sun protection and wear long sleeves and pants by day to allow your skin fade to the color you were born with.

An old home remedy to fade away the freckles and dark spots with lemon juice. It is a risky thing because lemon juice is very acid pH2. Sulphuric acid is just 1 point away at pH1, so you can imagine how acidic lemons are. You could end up burning or irritating your skin with lemon juice. At very least, it would make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. UV exposure triggers off melanin production. If your skin is continuously irritated, not just by sunlight, but by pollutants and allergens, your skin will react by producing more melanin and darkening even further.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYaOmeXy98[/youtube]

Basically, your skin gets dark because melanin is produced by your skin, to shade it from the sun. The freckles, dark spots and even the even tan is due to melanin clustering together to protect your skin.

To get fair, you slowly exfoliate off the darkened skin over time and prevent the new skin from darkening. As the darkened dead skin cells are rubbed off, younger,lighter skin is revealed. It takes time no doubt, but the results are worth the wait.

There are several things commonly used to lighten the skin.

Hydroquinone is one of them but in higher concentrations, it can cause irritations and may even be carcinogenic. It makes skin lighter by preventing melanin from being formed.

Alchemilla a plant popular amongst the alchemists in the Middle Ages, slows the release of melanin pigments to your skin, hence slowing down the darkening of your skin.

Kojic acid is used to to prevent melanin formation.

Black-Out Yeast Complex, a formula by clinique, used extensively in its Derma White range breaks down the melanin clusters so that these can be disposed of via exfoliation and defuses irritants that would otherwise darken the skin, through its delivery of antioxidants. Most importantly, it prevents more melanin from forming by blocking away the signals to produce melanin.

Then there are the skin bleaching treatments by a plastic surgeon using AHAs or retin-A amongst other things. These are for more drastic results. For something gentler, I suggest you get a skin whitening range from your favourite skin care brand.

Strongest earthquake in 150 years hits Costa Rica
Author: Admin     03 3rd, 2021 in Uncategorized     No Comments »

Saturday, January 10, 2009

The United States Geological Survey said a 6.1 Mw earthquake struck on Thursday, at 01:21:34 p.m. local time (6:21:34 p.m. UTC) in northern Costa Rica, a Central American country, 30 kilometres (19 mi) NNW of San José and near the volcano Poás.

The epicenter was at 20 miles (32 kilometers) north-northwest of San Jose at a depth of 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers), with Coordinate 10° 11? 49.2? N, 84° 9? 32.4? W, and Decimal 10.197,-84.159. Causing widespread panic and damage, it was felt all over Costa Rica as well as in southern central Nicaragua, and was the strongest to shake Costa Rica in about 150 years.

“Today is a day of mourning for Costa Ricans,” President Oscar Arias Sanchez said. “These losses of life fill us with pain; our prayers will be for their families, hundreds of families had seen serious damage to their homes,” Arias added. Originally seventeen people, including three children, were reported killed but was later decreased to 5 fatalities. About 42 were reported missing, at least 32 were injured and 2,450 people affected.

The quake toll jumped to 34 dead, 64 missing, on Saturday, while emergency workers rescued at least 200 stranded tourists in Varablanca hotel, according to Ministry of Infrastructure spokeswoman Silvia Chaves.

Amid problems of mudslides, cracked roads, tumbling rocks and fallen trees, National Social Security and Health agency, Red Cross rescue workers, firemen and police rushed Friday to evacuate about 600 people. Half of them were foreign tourists stranded in La Paz Waterfall Gardens eco-resort in Vara Blanca, and others were trapped by boulders and earth, when mountain roads in Costa Rica blocked two villages of Vara Blanca and Cinchona. The main CNE warehouse containing relief items (food, mattresses), for distribution to the victims, was burned, while the second airport in San Jose, is now closed.

Most of the victims died when part of the hillside collapsed and a landslide occurred near the La Paz waterfall at Vara Blanca, on the flanks of the volcano Poás. The Poas Volcano National Park was utterly destroyed and the La Paz waterfall road was torn, causing about 300 tourists trapped. At least 400 people were evacuated from the area in rescue helicopters.

Constant 2,000 aftershocks (1,200 through early Friday in the towns of San Pedro de Poas and Vara Blanca), complicated the rescue and emergency missions for stranded people in mountainous central zones. National Emergency Commission official Victor Falla said that there were small tremors every couple of minutes. “It’s shaking right now,” he added. 1,244 people were displaced, and 1,078 people are living in shelters. In addition, a hotel, houses, roads, and vehicles were damaged, and a couple of bridges were destroyed. The town of Cinchona was heavily hit, and all of the buildings there were heavily damaged. Power was temporarily disrupted in San José. “There are many buses and many vehicles that are trapped,” deputy public safety minister Jose Torres said.

In the central valley, populated by 2.5 million of the country’s four million inhabitants, the National Emergency Board declared an emergency in the metropolitan area including San Jose, Cartago, Alajuela and Heredia. The earthquake hit strongest the remote area near Alajuela. Several homes collapsed and major highways were still blocked.

A team of 34 U.S. military personnel and four Black Hawk helicopters from Honduras-based Joint Task Force-Bravo was sent on Friday by the U.S. Government to assist Costa Rican rescue workers, which include 400 volunteers and Red Cross personnel, who were dispensing aid in 15 communities. Colombia and China had also offered assistance to quake victims. The U.S. Army and Air Force aviation crews, rescue, medical and support personnel, is coordinating with the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) in the rescue efforts. At least 150 stranded tourists from the United States, France, Canada and Spain, were finally rescued on Friday.

Question: 1

A technician needs to limit the amount of broadcast traffic on a network and allow different segments to communicate with each other. Which of the following options would satisfy these requirements?

A. Add a router and enable OSPF.

B. Add a layer 3 switch and create a VLAN.

C. Add a bridge between two switches.

D. Add a firewall and implement proper ACL.

Answer: B

Explanation:

We can limit the amount of broadcast traffic on a switched network by dividing the computers into logical network segments called VLANs.

A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a logical group of computers that appear to be on the same LAN even if they are on separate IP subnets. These logical subnets are configured in the network switches. Each VLAN is a broadcast domain meaning that only computers within the same VLAN will receive broadcast traffic.

To allow different segments (VLAN) to communicate with each other, a router is required to establish a connection between the systems. We can use a network router to route between the VLANs or we can use a Layer 3 switch. Unlike layer 2 switches that can only read the contents of the data-link layer protocol header in the packets they process, layer 3 switches can read the (IP) addresses in the network layer protocol header as well.

Incorrect Answers:

A: OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a link-state IP routing protocol used for very large enterprise networks. It is not used to limit broadcast traffic within networks. You could use a router and divide the network into smaller subnets to limit broadcast traffic; however, you would not use OSPF as the routing protocol.

C: A bridge is a layer 2 (data-link layer) device that splits a LAN into two separate collision domains and filters the packets passing between them by using their hardware addresses. However, a bridge will forward broadcast traffic between the collision domains so broadcast traffic will not be reduced.

D: A firewall is used to restrict traffic between networks or subnets (typically between the Internet and the LAN) based on rules that specify source/destination IPs and port numbers. You would not use a firewall within a network to limit broadcast traffic on the network.

Question: 2

The network install is failing redundancy testing at the MDF. The traffic being transported is a mixture of multicast and unicast signals. Which of the following would BEST handle the rerouting caused by the disruption of service?

A. Layer 3 switch

B. Proxy server

C. Layer 2 switch

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOE1PsbbSVA[/youtube]

D. Smart hub

Answer: A

Explanation:

The question states that the traffic being transported is a mixture of multicast and unicast signals. There are three basic types of network transmissions: broadcasts, which are packets transmitted to every node on the network; unicasts, which are packets transmitted to just one node; and multicasts, which are packets transmitted to a group of nodes. Multicast is a layer 3 feature of IPv4 & IPv6. Therefore, we would need a layer 3 switch (or a router) to reroute the traffic. Unlike layer 2 switches that can only read the contents of the data-link layer protocol header in the packets they process, layer 3 switches can read the (IP) addresses in the network layer protocol header as well.

Incorrect Answers:

B: There are different types of proxy server, the most common being a web proxy server. When a client application such as a web browser requests a web page, the request is sent to the proxy server. The proxy server will then fulfill the request either by serving a cached page or by requesting the web page from the web server. This can improve performance (less web pages being downloaded over an Internet connection) and improve security (web page requests can be blocked). A proxy server is not used to reroute unicast and multicast traffic in the event of a network connectivity interruption.

C: A layer 2 switch that can only read the contents of the data-link layer (layer 2) protocol header in the packets they process. A layer 2 switch cannot route multicast (layer 3) traffic.

D: Years ago, switches were very expensive compared to hubs. Nowadays, switches are much cheaper so most people use switches rather than hubs. Computers connect to hubs in the same way they connect to switches. However, traffic sent to one hub port will be forwarded out of all the other ports because hubs do not maintain a MAC address table so they do not know which port a destination computer is connected to. A smart hub has some added intelligence that enables it to detect and isolate network problems. However, a smart hub does not reroute traffic.

Question: 3

Which of the following network devices use ACLs to prevent unauthorized access into company systems?

A. IDS

B. Firewall

C. Content filter

D. Load balancer

Answer: B

Explanation:

A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. Firewalls use ACLs (access control lists) to determine which traffic is allowed through the firewall. All traffic entering or leaving the intranet passes through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks or allows the message depending on rules specified in the ACL. The rules in the ACL specify which combinations of source IP address, destination address in IP port numbers are allowed.

Incorrect Answers:

A: An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a hardware device or software application that monitors network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a management station. An IDS does not use an ACL to prevent unauthorized access into company systems.

C: The most common type of content filter is a web content filter. A web content filter is a hardware device or software application that examines web pages as they are downloaded. The page can then be blocked if it does not comply with company web policy. A content filter does not use an ACL to prevent unauthorized access into company systems.

D: A load balancer is a hardware device or software application that directs traffic between multiple servers to balance the load between the servers. For example, if you have multiple web servers serving the same content, a load balancer will evenly distribute requests for the web pages between the servers. A load balancer does not use an ACL to prevent unauthorized access into company systems.

Question: 4

Which of the following is used to define how much bandwidth can be used by various protocols on the network?

A. Traffic shaping

B. High availability

C. Load balancing

D. Fault tolerance

Answer: A

Explanation:

If a network connection becomes saturated to the point where there is a significant level of contention, network latency can rise substantially.

Traffic shaping is used to control the bandwidth used by network traffic. In a corporate environment, business-related traffic may be given priority over other traffic. Traffic can be prioritized based on the ports used by the application sending the traffic. Delayed traffic is stored in a buffer until the higher priority traffic has been sent.

Incorrect Answers:

B: High availability is a term used to describe a network or system that can remain operational in the event of a component failure. For example, two servers in a cluster are a common high availability solution. If one server fails, the other takes over. In networking terms, high availability would include redundant network links and network devices such as switches and routers such that computers would still be able to communicate in the event of a failure of any network device. High availability is not used to define how much bandwidth can be used by various protocols on the network.

C: A load balancer is a hardware device or software application that directs traffic between multiple servers to balance the load between the servers. For example, if you have multiple web servers serving the same content, a load balancer can evenly distribute requests for the web pages between the servers. Load balancing is the process of distributing a load between resources. Load balancing is not used to define how much bandwidth can be used by various protocols on the network.

D: Fault tolerance is similar to high availability. It describes a systems ability to remain available in the event of a component failure. Fault tolerance is not used to define how much bandwidth can be used by various protocols on the network.

Question: 5

Which of the following is used to authenticate remote workers who connect from offsite? (Select TWO).

A. OSPF

B. VTP trunking

C. Virtual PBX

D. RADIUS

E. 802.1x

Answer: D, E

Explanation:

D: A RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server is a server with a database of user accounts and passwords used as a central authentication database for users requiring network access. RADIUS servers are commonly used by ISPs to authenticate their customers Internet connections.

Remote users connect to one or more Remote Access Servers. The remote access servers then forward the authentication requests to the central RADIUS server.

E: 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a network.

802.1X authentication involves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server. The supplicant is a client that wishes to attach to the network. The authenticator is a network device, such as an Ethernet switch, wireless access point or in this case, a remote access server and the authentication server is the RADIUS server.

Incorrect Answers:

A: OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a link-state IP routing protocol used for very large enterprise networks. OSPF is not used for the authentication of remote users.

B: VTP trunking is used for the propagation of VLAN information between network switches. A VLAN is a logical segmentation of the network performed by a layer 2 Ethernet switch. When a switch is configured with one or more VLANs, VTP trunking can be used to propagate the VLAN configuration to the other switches. VTP trunking is not used for the authentication of remote users.

C: A PBX (Private Branch eXchange) is a hardware system used in a telephone network. A PBX performs the routing and switching of calls between a business location and the telephone network. A virtual PBX is a software based PBX. A virtual PBX is not used for the authentication of remote users.

UK tabloid Daily Star pays libel damages to Ozzy Osbourne
Author: Admin     02 27th, 2021 in Uncategorized     No Comments »

Saturday, June 7, 2008

The Daily Star, a tabloid newspaper in the United Kingdom, has paid an undisclosed amount of libel damages to Ozzy Osbourne stemming from an inaccurate representation of his appearance at the Brit Awards.

Osbourne, famous for both his solo rock career and fronting the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, was hosting the show alongside wife Sharon and children Jack and Kelly. In an ensuing Star article titled “Ozzy Freak Show”, the 59-year old was portrayed as suffering from health problems that rendered his ability to host the show questionable.

The article claimed that he had collapsed twice before the show began, prompting the show’s organisers to enter emergency talks debating whether Osbourne was fit to continue as planned or instead should be withdrawn and hospitalised. It also reported that the singer had used an electric buggy to move around behind the scenes and had been designated a place to sit in case he felt tired. All of these allegations were found to be false.

At the settlement in London’s High Court, at which the Osbournes were not present, Kate Wilson, representing Express Newspapers, apologised for the article and accepted that it should never have been published. Express Newspapers owns the Daily Star.

Osbourne says that the money will go to his wife’s charity, the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program.

Demonstrators protest Condoleezza Rice’s trip to Australia
Author: Admin     02 24th, 2021 in Uncategorized     No Comments »

Thursday, March 16, 2006

Anti-war demonstrators in Sydney, Australia on Thursday dubbed U.S. Secretary of State Dr Condoleezza Rice a “war criminal” and “murderer.” Two protesters were evicted and five people were arrested during protests against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Dr Rice, on a three-day trip to Australia, said she understood why people found it hard to be positive about Iraq when all they saw on their television screens was violence.

Soon after Rice began her speech at the University of Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music, two protesters shouted from the rear of the auditorium, “Condoleezza Rice, you are a war criminal,” and “Iraqi blood is on your hands and you cannot wash that blood away.” Standing with their palms towards her, the young man and woman repeated their accusation until security intervened to remove them from the hall.

About 15 minutes into Rice’s address, a third protester appeared at a balcony door, interrupting her speech as she referred to freedom. “What kind of freedom are you talking about? You are a murderer,” said the demonstrator before he was quietly escorted from the hall. “I’m very glad to see that democracy is well and alive here at the university,” she said.

In her speech, Rice sought to justify the U.S. occupation of Iraq, describing Iraqis as now more free. One student asked about abuses committed by U.S. forces at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. She said the abuses had made her “sick to her stomach.” However, she defended Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where human rights groups say detainees are held in inhumane conditions and in detention flouting international laws.

Before Rice began her speech, about 50 protesters were gathered at the front gates of the Conservatorium. The group were confronted by police on horseback and by police dogs. Police used the horses to charge into the group of activists and push them back, as a police helicopter hovered.

A police spokeswoman said the group was blocking pedestrian access to the building and that police had spent more than 20 minutes warning them to move. The police then moved in and pushed the crowd back 20 metres. Police say five people have been charged with “hindering police in the execution of their duties.”

The “Stop the War Coalition” says Rice is a “war criminal” and is not welcome in Australia. The group’s spokeswoman, Anna Samson, says the protest is one of many planned in the lead-up to the third anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq on March 20.

Paddy Gibson, from the University of Sydney’s Student’s Council, says the protest is in opposition to the Iraq war, and to the use of the University of Sydney’s campus to host Rice, “the most powerful woman in the world,” who they say is a war criminal. “They’re saying, ‘… you’ve got Sydney Uni’s support to stand up and peddle your murderous hate speeches,’ which is what we see it,” he said.

“You’ve got 180,000 people killed, as we said, for no other reason than strategic control of the region’s oil resources. And the anti-Muslim racism that’s been whipped up to justify this war is being felt by Sydney University students,” said Mr Gibson.

Are You Noticing White Flakes In Your Hair?

Author: Admin     02 23rd, 2021 in Business Energy Advice     No Comments »

By Louise Forrest

If you are noticing that you are experiencing white flakes falling from the scalp then you have dandruff. This flaking of the skin is no more than that of dead skin cells, and the itching that can often be associated with dandruff can be very annoying for many people.

Given that this condition affects many people and has been present for many years, there is still no single answer as to why dandruff appears, and also why some people have it and others do not. Possible reasons or causes of dandruff is that it is the result of a fungus or an allergic reaction, stress, or some kind of hormonal imbalance within the body. There is also the possibility that the shampoo that the person is using is actually too harsh and this is causing the scalp to become severely dry and also irritable.

Surprisingly there are types of dandruff that are present amongst people, that of dry and dandruff that is waxy. Should the scalp be constantly itchy then this would describe the condition of dandruff that is dry, and the shedding of the skin can be seen within the hair and also on the shoulders.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsbNy6uTkEU[/youtube]

Now should the top layer of the scalp be mixed with natural oils then this is used to describe waxy dandruff, which causes the shedding of the scalp to become stuck together. As mentioned already there is no single answer as to why a person develops dandruff but other possible factors are those of a diet that is poor, a lack of zinc within the body and the use of hair products that are highly alkaline.

Waxy dandruff arises when the scaliness of the epidermis is mixed with sebum, which causes it to stick to the scalp in patches. Dandruff may be caused by many factors, and among the contributing factors are poor nutrition, zinc deficiency, yeast infections, high use of alkaline soaps or shampoos and some types of fungus.

Thankfully however there are a number of solutions that are available for this particular condition and often the best treatment is to opt for products that are natural and will not cause further irritation or dryness to the scalp. Dandruff is not just a condition where the scalp is shedding or where there is a great deal of itching, but it can also cause a great deal of embarrassment.

Some of the best ingredients that can be used are fenugreek which is used to help neutralise the effects of dandruff. This should be soaked in water for 24 hours, and then made into a paste. The paste should be massaged into the scalp and left for an hour before being rinsed.

Tea tree oil is very useful and there are actually a number of products that already contain this ingredient because of its amazing antiseptic properties. This is able to penetrate the layers of the skin, and if you have not already, just add a few drops to your existing shampoo. Do not apply tea tree neatly to the scalp as in its raw state it is quite strong.
