Model Cars Rising In Popularity

Because V8 Supercar racing is so popular, many Australians are flocking to their local model car shops or their favourite model car websites in order to browse the model cars collection and see if they can find scale models of the cars their favourite drivers drive. This is not something that is just popular with children and teenagers, but something that has also grown in popularity amongst adults. Of course, many adults are huge fans of V8 Supercar racing as well, and so they have also found value in collecting these model cars.

There are collectors of many items out there, from stamps to antiques, and model car collecting is something that has been steadily rising in popularity over the years. No matter where you prefer to go in order to browse the model cars collection, you will likely find that there are some rare model cars out there that can end up being worth a pretty penny as they age. Particularly if a model car is listed as a collector’s edition with a limited production, it will eventually become rare and be subject to the laws of supply and demand. The rarer a model car is, the more likely it will be that many people will want it, and the more people who want a model car that is in limited supply, the more expensive that model car will be.

As with all collectibles, there is definitely a risk that the price of the car will not go up as time passes, and this is something that collectors ought to keep in mind as they browse the model cars collection at their local shops or on websites. The best way to determine whether or not a model car will end up going up in value is usually to analyse the number of these models that are being put into circulation. It’s not really possible to accurately project demand for a specific product twenty years into the future, but the rarer a model car is, the more likely it will be to have a high demand in the future, and so this is the sort of thing that collectors ought to look into before they make their purchases.

Whether you are looking to collect in order to turn a profit in the future, or if you just enjoy collecting cool scale model cars, there is no doubt that model car collecting is becoming the favourite pastime of many people around the world, and especially in Australia. While it is impossible to predict the future, the popularity of model cars does not seem to be going anywhere, and so the smart collector can turn collecting them into an investment.

New Zealand pilot selling uniform online

Tuesday, August 15, 2006

“Jeremy”, an airplane pilot in Nelson, has put his uniform on sale for NZ$1.00 at New Zealand auction site TradeMe. The pilot had lost his job when Origin Pacific Airways fired 230 staff because of financial difficulties and is now trying to “make ends meet this week,” the pilot said. The auction has already reached 31 bids and reached $101 as of 7.30 a.m. August 15.

‘Jeremy’, the pilot, said on the auction page, that he is offering “a rare piece of Kiwi aviation history,”.

“This is an authentic Origin Pacific Jetstream pilot’s uniform lovingly drycleaned for one last time before its unfortunate retirement. It’s travelled many stormy nights and many sunrises and has seen almost 50,000 Kiwis safely to their destinations from Invercargill to the Far North. It has 778,000km on it, yet it looks as crisp today as it did when it was born,” the pilot described on TradeMe.

One bidder had offered $40 if he sold the uniform immediately but that offer was turned down in order to see the auction go until Sunday.

David Collier, Origin Pacific passenger services general manager, said “The uniform was Origin Pacific’s property and the pilot should not be selling it, but I think it’s probably one of those things you’d have to grin at and move on.”

Jay, Waitakere, asked on the auction page if the uniform came with a plane. The pilot replied “No, but if you want to start an airline I know where you can find a great bunch of people.”

The auction is closing on August 20, Sunday.

Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez cuts relations with Colombia

Sunday, July 25, 2010

President Hugo Chávez has temporarily suspended relations with the neighboring country of Colombia.

“I feel obliged for dignity’s sake to suspend relations with the government of Colombia. It is the least we can do, and we will remain alert, as [President Álvaro] Uribe is a sick man, filled with hate,” said Chávez during a ceremony at the Presidential Palace with the coach of the Argentinian national football team, Diego Maradona, whom he was meeting during Maradona’s visit to Venezuela.

The Venezuelan government has given Colombian diplomats 72 hours to leave the country.

“We have sent a message to the Colombian trade delegation in Caracas telling them to close their embassy and vacate the country,” Venezuela’s Foreign Minister, Nicolás Maduro, informed the media.

In an extraordinary session at the headquarters of the Organisation of American States (OAS) in Washington, DC, the Colombian ambassador, Luis Alfonso Hoyos, declared that Chávez’s government was “harbouring FARC guerrillas” on Venezuelan territory and requested the formation of an international committee of inquiry to verify FARC’s presence in Venezuela within 30 days.

Venezuela’s representative to the OAS, Roy Chaderton, advised the assembly to pay no attention to the Colombian “forgeries” and declared that there were thousands of Colombians living in Venezuela and that they were being treated with respect and equality.

“I warn the international community. We will brook no aggression, nor any violations of our national sovereignty,” said Chávez, and added that any war with Colombia would “have to be fought with tears, but it would have to be fought.”

For its part, the United States criticised Venezuela’s decision to cut diplomatic ties.

“I don’t believe that cutting relations is the right way to go [to resolve this problem],” said Philip Crowley, spokesperson for the US State Department.

The Secretary General of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza, also asked both sides to “calm their passions.”

“We have been able to resolve serious conflicts for many years. I hope that we will be able to do so again now, but both Venezuela and Colombia will have to concede ground,” said Insulza.

The Qualifications And Experience An Eye Doctor Needs

When selecting an eye doctor, numerous factors need consideration. Your sight is vital to your quality of life. By visiting this professional at least one time per year, you are taking steps to maintain it and potentially to prevent loss of it. The health care provider you select for this responsibility needs to be someone you feel comfortable working with on a regular basis. He or she should be someone with the qualifications and experience to help you to trust in the information provided. Not just any practitioner is good enough.The Key Qualifications to Look ForAn eye doctor should be able to provide you with a list of credentials that showcase his or her abilities to provide service to you. You should ask for them. Ultimately, you want to ensure this provider has the ability to diagnosis, treat, and even prevent any type of health conditions related to your optical health.The two most common types of providers are ophthalmologists and optometrists. Both should have certifications and licensing to operate in your state as these positions. The education obtained should be from an accredited school for these programs. The state board of optometry or state medical board will hold these licenses for you to verify. It should be for the current year. In addition, if you are working with an ophthalmologist, this person should have an internship and residency experience. This is part of their training and development.ExperienceConsider the experience the provider has too. If you are looking for a provider who will work with children, be sure he or she has extensive experience in this field. Determine the types of treatment and procedures the provider offers. Some may not perform surgeries, for example. Others may focus their practice on specialized conditions. Some providers use the most up-to-date technologies available. Many will put additional time into training to provide improved abilities or specialized treatments. Look for a provider that is known as one of the best in his or her field, especially in areas of research and development. This is especially important in situations where your condition warrants care that is more extensive.When working with an eye doctor for standard vision screening, get to know the provider well. Discuss your situation in-depth. Ask questions. See whether or not the provider takes the time to sit down and talk to you about your health and wellbeing. The more comfortable you feel with this provider the better. Ultimately, it is up to you to determine the best possible person for the job. Your sight is dependent on the selection you make. Get information about the experience and education of the individual and use your instinct to know if you can trust this professional.

Marussia F1 test driver Maria de Villota seriously injured in testing accident

Tuesday, July 3, 2012

The Marussia F1 team’s test driver, Spaniard María de Villota, was taken to hospital by air ambulance today after a collision in testing at Duxford Aerodrome.

At the end of her first installation run, the car she was driving had a low-speed collision with the loading ramp of the team’s support truck. According to BBC Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann, the car “suddenly accelerated” into the rear of the vehicle. The Marussia team released a statement an hour and a half after the accident, stating that she had been transferred to hospital, and a further statement would be issued once her condition had been assessed.

A spokesman for the East of England ambulance service, Gary Sanderson, said de Villota had “[…] sustained life-threatening injuries and following treatment at the scene by paramedics, she has been taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital for further care.” According to witnesses, she was motionless for about fifteen minutes as medical teams attended to her, but did move her hands before being taken away from the test track. Medical charity Magpas, whose volunteer paramedics attended the accident, reported she had sustained injuries to her head and face, and was in a ‘stable condition’ when she reached the hospital.

Marussia reported her as conscious later in the afternoon: “Since Maria’s arrival at the hospital at approximately 10.45am this morning, she has been receiving the best medical attention possible at the hospital, which is the region’s major trauma centre. Maria is conscious and medical assessments are ongoing. The team will await the outcome of these assessments before providing further comment. The team’s first priority at this time is Maria and her family.”

De Villota was announced as Marussia’s test driver in March, having prior experience driving for Alan Docking Racing in Superleague Formula in Spain.

Hurricane Katrina: Resources regarding missing/located people

Thursday, September 1, 2005

With victims of Hurricane Katrina moved to shelters and remote locations, their relatives and friends in other parts of the world have turned to the web to try and establish contact and confirm their health. Many families living in the path of Katrina have even been split up as they are rescued and now desperately need to contact each other.

Several web sites have started forums for posting information on missing people. The forums also allow individuals and families in the path of the hurricane who are safe post their information, where they are now located and how their family should contact them.

The American Red Cross is keeping records of all persons they treat and assist, but those records are not available either by phone or online. They have issued a press release titled AMERICAN RED CROSS URGENT FAMILY ALERT. Quoting, in part:

The Red Cross does not have information on the well being of any individuals.
Our phone lines are being overwhelmed with calls, and we appreciate the desire to know how people fared during the storm.
Please do not contact any Red Cross media representatives with welfare inquiries.

Url Las Mejores Practicas Para Contruirlos

url Las mejores practicas para contruirlos by SEOLIMAUn URL (Uniform Resource Locator), ms comnmente conocido como “direccin web”, especifica la ubicacin de un recurso (como una pgina web) en Internet. La URL tambin especifica cmo recuperar ese recurso, tambin conocido como el “Protocolo”, como http, https, FTP, etc.Ejemplo de cdigo urlLmites impuestosPara renderizar correctamente en todos los navegadores, las URLs deben ser ms cortas que 2.083 caracteres.Formato ptimo/category-keyword/subcategory-keyword/Primary-keyword.htmlQu es una URL?Una URL es un texto legible para el hombre que fue diseado para reemplazar los nmeros (direcciones IP) que utilizan los equipos para comunicarse con los servidores. Tambin identifican la estructura de archivos en el sitio web dado. Una direccin URL consiste en un protocolo, un nombre de dominio y una ruta de acceso (que incluye la estructura de subcarpeta especfica en la que se encuentra una pgina) y tiene el siguiente formato bsico:Protocol://Domain-Name.Top-Level-Domain/pathEl protocolo indica cmo un explorador debe recuperar informacin acerca de un recurso. El estndar web es http://o https://(el “s” significa “seguro”), pero tambin puede incluir cosas como mailto: (para abrir el cliente de correo predeterminado) o FTP: (para gestionar las transferencias de archivos).El nombre de dominio (o hostname) es el nombre legible por el hombre de la ubicacin especfica donde se encuentra un recurso (en la mayora de los casos, un sitio web).Piense en el dominio de nivel superior (TLD) como algo de una categora para sitios Web. Mientras que usted es probablemente familiar con .com, tambin hay. edu para sitios educativos, gov para sitios gubernamentales, y muchos, muchos ms.Las URLs tambin contienen cosas como las carpetas o subcarpetas especficas que se encuentran en un sitio Web determinado, cualquier parmetro (como hacer clic en tracking o IDS de sesin) que puede ser almacenado en la URL, y los anclajes que permiten a los visitantes saltar a un punto especfico en el recurso.por qu las URLs son importantes para SEO?Hay 3 ventajas principales de URLs:1. experiencia de usuario mejoradaUna URL bien diseada proporciona a los seres humanos y a los motores de bsqueda una indicacin fcil de entender de cul ser la pgina de destino. Por ejemplo, la URL dpreview abajo es lo que llamamos una URL “semnticamente precisa” (describe con precisin su destino):URLs-1. png? mtime = 20170315125810 # activo: 4165: URLIncluso si la etiqueta de ttulo de esta pgina estuviera oculta, la URL legible y semnticamente precisa de los humanos todava proporcionara una idea clara de lo que es la pgina de destino, y proporcionara a los visitantes una experiencia de usuario mejorada al dejar claro lo que vern si hacen clic en el vnculo. (vale la pena notar: Google ha estado sustituyendo cada vez ms la URL dentro del rea de fragmentos de resultados de bsqueda con un nombre de sitio y ruta de miga.) Esto aparece ms comnmente en las bsquedas mviles.)2. rankingsLas URLs son un factor de clasificacin menor que utilizan los motores de bsqueda para determinar la relevancia de una pgina o recurso especfico para una consulta de bsqueda. Si bien dan peso a la autoridad del dominio general en s, el uso de palabras clave en una URL tambin puede actuar como un factor de clasificacin.Aunque el uso de una direccin URL que incluya palabras clave puede mejorar la visibilidad de la bsqueda de su sitio, las URLs en s mismas generalmente no tienen un impacto importante en la capacidad de la pgina para clasificar. Por lo tanto, mientras que vale la pena pensar, no crear URLs de otra manera no til simplemente para incluir una palabra clave en ellos.3. enlacesEn un apuro, las URLs bien-escritas pueden servir como su propio texto del ancla cuando est copiado y pegado como acoplamientos en foros, blogs, redes de los medios sociales, u otros lugares en lnea.El beneficio aqu es doble:Algunos sitios web (como Facebook, por ejemplo), pueden dejar enlaces compartidos completamente sin formato. Las URLs no optimizadas y semnticamente inexactas pueden parecer difciles de manejar, y en lugar de obtener clics, en realidad los disuaden. Las URLs legibles para humanos proporcionan a los usuarios una mejor idea de lo que van a recibir cuando hacen clic en el enlace.URLs-2_170315_124322. png? mtime = 20170315125811 # activo: 4171: URLEn el ejemplo anterior de dpreview, los motores de bsqueda podran ver la URL http://www.dpreview.com/Review … y asociar la pgina con los trminos de la URL (dpreview, revisiones, Canon, EOS, y 6D).

Australian police seize one tonne shipment of ecstacy

Friday, April 15, 2005Police in Melbourne have seized over a tonne of ecstacy in a shipment of tiles from Italy. Four were arrested on Thursday and early Friday relating to the shipment, which the Australian Federal Police has called the biggest shipment of street-ready ecstacy pills in the world.

The four men were charged with aiding and abetting a prohibited import, according to ABC radio. Five million tablets were seized, with a reported street value of US$190 million (AU$250m). Two were additionally charged with attempting to possess a prohibited import.

Federal police were continuing to investigate a crime ring behind the shipment, a spokesperson told News24.com.

Federal Agent Mike Phelan said: “The AFP is now working with its counterparts in Italy and other parts of Europe to identify any overseas links with this latest seizure.”

X-rays taken of the shipment, which arrived in Port Melbourne earlier in the week, had revealed anomalies inside eight pallets which were stacked with tiles, said a report from Australian Associated Press.

Police then monitored the shipping container until it was delivered on Thursday to a suburban Melbourne factory, where two men were arrested, according to the News24.com report. Agents searched a dozen homes and businesses across Melbourne and arrested two more men early on Friday. All four suspects were due to appear in court later on Friday.

Federal Justice Minister Chris Ellison praised the AFP, the Australian Customs Service and the Australian Crime Commission involved in the operation, which he told Australian Associated Press had been ongoing since January.

“This big seizure sends a very clear message to those who want to traffic drugs to Australia, you will be caught and face very serious penalties,” Senator Ellison told the news agency, saying the shipment “could have wreaked havoc”.

“Anyone who says this sort of seizure does not slow the supply of drugs is quite obviously out of touch with reality.”

The previous largest Australian ecstasy haul occurred in November 2004 in Sydney, when 1,800 pounds of ecstasy tablets and powder were seized, Australian Federal Police (AFP) told Reuters, compared to this shipment’s weight of 2,240 pounds.
