ROME Maxx Williams Jersey , Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- More than 70 people, mostly students, were injured on Tuesday when two metro trains crashed in Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia island region in Italy Kamalei Correa Jersey , local media reported.
The accident happened in the morning near an outlying station when one of the trains was transporting dozens of students on their way to school, according to Rai state television.
None of the injured was reported to be in a critical condition, but one of the train conductors was rushed to hospital after he remained trapped in the train plates.
According to firefighters, the two trains found themselves going in opposite directions on the same track while traveling at a speed of 30-40 km per hour with at least 150 passengers onboard.
Just one of the trains allegedly managed to slow down before the crash.
The head of local transport company ARST Ronnie Stanley Jersey , Giovanni Caria, said it was not yet clear what happened, but that there was "certainly a human error."
An investigation was opened to ascertain the cause of the accident.
KINGSTON， June 15 (Xinhua) -- The decision to fly the rainbow flag at the United States' embassy following the Orlando gay nightclub massacre has drawn huge fire from Jamaica's Attorney General Marlene Malahoo-Forte.
After the tragedy that left 49 dead and 53 injured on Sunday， the United States decided to let their embassies "across the globe" to fly rainbow flags "in solidarity with the victims who were targeted for being members of the LGBT (lesbian， gay， bisexual and transgender) community."
However， this motion was criticized by Malahoo-Forte.
"I strongly condemn Orlando nightclub shooting but find it disrespectful of Jamaica's laws to have rainbow flag flown here，" the attorney general said in a twitter message on Monday.
In response， the United States' embassy in Jamaica， in a tweet posted on Tuesday， wrote: "@@mmalahooforte we're listening. Explain the legal reasoning? It (the Orlando shooting) was an attack of terror and hate， targeting the LGBT community!"
So far， Malahoo-Forte has not yet made any further "legal reasoning."
Under Jamaican law， buggery is illegal， and men who have sex with men can face up to 10 years' imprisonment and hard labor.
According to Wikipedia， there are several independent rainbow flags in use today. The most widely known is the pride flag representing gay pride.
Is kayaking dangerous? The short answer is: NO.
Now the caveat - there
are dangerous situations out there in the world of kayaking (as there are
crossing the street) but like crossing the street, we can control these
situations with a high degree of confidence Nico
Siragusa Jersey , given the right tools and the right
knowledge.
Since the most perilous types of kayaking are by sea and
whitewater, I'll restrict my answer to concentrate on these
pastimes.
First, I would say beyond a shadow of a doubt that you should -
heck, MUST wear a helmet if you're anywhere near a shoreline. This is especially
true of whitewater kayaking safety. It only takes 13 pounds per square inch of
impact to permanently damage your head. This is certainly not said to discourage
or scare you! On the contrary Tim Williams
Jersey , you should wear a helmet so you can remove this worry from
your mind and have a good time. There's nothing macho about being a vegetable,
even if you think you look dorky with head protection.
With regard to
kayaking safety, buoyancy is key for staying safe and stable. With that said,
I'd also recommend a personal flotation device - this sometimes means wearing a
lifejacket although they're often referred to as PFD's. You should keep the PFD
on and zipped up at all times - this alone could save your
life.
Specifically to sea kayaking safety is the question of how far is
safe enough to venture from shore. When you're out there Chris
Wormley Jersey , think to yourself, "Can I safely swim back to
shore from here?". If the answer is no, get to paddling until your a safe
distance from land.
Sometimes, you will become capsized which means you
will be turned over in your kayak completely upside-down. Now Tyus Bowser
Jersey , before ever going it alone, I would consider it a must to
learn how to do an eskimo roll in order to right the craft and get stable again.
If you can't do this - learn now from an experienced friend or instructor. The
eskimo roll is a pretty counterintuitive exercise that you can't just learn by
force of will.
But the alternative to learning how to roll is to abandon
your kayak and exit the craft. Once this is done you can swim back to shore and
think about how to retrieve your very expensive kayak. Given the choice, I'd
take some lessons! ;-)
Another preventable hazard is the weather. Check
the conditions before you go out on the water and use common sense. Assess your
own skill level and don't be afraid to cancel an outing should it become
necessary.
And if I can impart just one more thing...
Until you
become an advanced sea or whitewater kayaker, ALWAYS go out in groups of two or
more. It only makes sense.
Kayaking is such an amazing rush sometimes but
it doesn't always have to be an extreme sport. It has aspects that should appeal
to all ages and lifestyles. But in order to have the time of your
life Marlon
Humphrey Jersey , you'll need to remove doubt from the equation and
be as safe as possible by using common sense and kayaking safety.
