Henry gets hassled by cops

Personal Reflections:
Actually, Geoff didn't do some real serious stuff to police. The worst thing he was done is to show the bad attitude to police. In addition, he resisted to be arrested and assaulted police (I don't really know). Eventually, he was charged by the police and would go to the court. He could also get the Legal Aid's help. This is the way that the law system protect its citizen.
In conclusion, I suggest that when we face to the police it's better to be nice to them. Sometimes, it can help us to ease off the charge.

Police watch 'may have saved asylum-seekers'

The Aystralian 20/10/2010 Wednesday p.5

Notes:

• overloaded fishing vessel with 74 asylum seekers may drown
• not big enough to carry all and leaking before it set out
• local fisherman were mobilised to take off victims
• kippers didn't want to sail the boat and a local businessman collected $506 a passenger
• most asylum seekers were in custody at Jogiakarta immigration centre

summarise:

A overloaded fishing vessel carrrying 74 asylum seekers might all have drown because the ship wasn't big enough to carry them all and it was leaking before setting out. Local fishermen were mobilised to take off the asylum seekers and crews. However, the skippers didn't want to sail the boat and a local businessman collected $506 a passenger to leave. It is a criminal behaviours. Last night, most asylum seekers were in custody at Jogiakarta immigration centre. It is one of the most comprehensive busts of an Indonesian people-smuggling operation.

Personal Reflections:

I think it is not only the crimine for skippers and businessman to not take off the victims or exchanging in money benifit, but also not moral. It is detestable that the smuggling poeple cause to the disaster in some boat travelling cases. So, it's important to sentence them but the most important thing is to decrease the people illegally coming to Australia.

Chlorine linked to cancer

MX News 14 september, 2010 pp.12

Notes:

• swimming in chlorinated pools cause cancer
• encourage the reduction of chemical, not stop swimming
• excess fat around waist also increase the risk of bowel cancer

Summaries:

Environmental scientists found that swimming in chlorinated pool can cause an increased risk of cancer and an increased risk in respiratory problems from the chlorine. The researchers didn't mean to stop people swimming, but encourage the reduction of chemicals. Meanwhile, carrying excess fat around the waist also increases the risk of bowel cancer.

Personal Reflections:

It is a good way to use chlorine as a disinfectant in swimming pools. However, it causes the risk of cancer. So, we should consider thoroughly to continue using it or throw it away. Also, we need to keep ourselves fit. Obesity which is a epidemic disease is easily ignored by us. It can lead to chronic disease, so nowadays we must pay attention on it.

• focus on students' experience and outcomes of degree

Summaries:

TAFE NSW will deliver higher education qualifications, starting with niche degrees in high-demand areas. The main focus is working with universities to develop pathways in regional areas for high-growth employment prospects. It has a dramatic influence on improving participation. Academic quality standards in terms of the types of students' experience and outcomes of degree which respond to the commentary that TAFE is an inappropriate place to offer higher eduction.

Personal Reflections:

I personly believe it's a signicant acceptation to develop higher education in regional areas. As a consequence, the rates of the employment and the residents' quality would be improved. In addition, the general living standard of the country will advance as well. Furthermore, the finance of the country will boost due to the contribution from residents.

The Australia 25/08/2010 Wednesday P23

Notes:

• capitalise set in TAFE higher education in regional areas on hung parliament
• seek commonwealth-supported for childhood degrees
• TDA launched a strategy for an integrated tertiary sector to TAFE
• TDA ask funding support after election
• the fee in TAFE higher education higher than university

Summaries:

1. TAFE is set to capitalise by advocating in delivering higher education in regional areas on hung parliament. The advocates are pushing for commonwealth-supported places for the early childhood degrees. Also, TDA launched a strategy to offer quality degrees in TAFEs and seeked the funding support after the election as well. The main reason for supporting is the fee in TAFE higher education is much higher than the one at university.

Personal Reflection:

I think the government should support the TAFE higher education which aims to provide higher qualification. This is designed to help educate students to get higher degree so that they can make a contribution to the country. It's a beneficial cycle between individuals and country. The critical way to progress the finance of the country is to make efforts on its education.
