By Dialogo January 11, 2011 In Colombia there is a bullet proof clothing manufacturer, which is being used by governments and worldwide important figures. I am from Venezuela, but my question is, why re-invent the wheel? Besides, don’t they use porcelain tiles? Kind regards, and I am delighted to see this publication. Congratulations. THEY AREN’T RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL, THEY ARE ADDING IT TO THE IMAGE OF WOMAN AS SHE IS ALREADY APPEARING AT THE HEAD OF THE FIGHT. I would like to congratulate the Army and the Armed Forces, who work hard to make more comfortable bulletproof clothing for female soldiers. I would like to especially congratulate Brigadier General Peter N. Fuller, who has always shown capability and competence in everything he does. May God bless you always! Army and Air Force researchers are continuing to work on how better to fit female Soldiers with more comfortable form-fitting body-armor plates. The Army is studying unisex armor plate designs, while the Air Force is investigating female-specific geometries. Teams from both services are using male and female torso curves from 3-D surface scans for front/back and side plate shape concepts. Originally introduced with Interceptor body armor, the current front/back ballistic plate shape known as the enhanced small arms protective insert or ESAPI, was designed for male Soldiers. Those designs have been maintained during the evolution of body armor and the deployment of the improved outer tactical vest. “By all measures, the body armor system has been very effective in protecting Soldiers,” said Lt. Col. Jon Rickey, product manager for Soldier protective equipment at Program Executive Office Soldier. “However, comments from the field indicate some female Soldiers are not being fit well with the current ballistic plate shape.” Rickey said that since fiscal year 2010, alternative male and female torso ballistic plate shapes have been studied with particular emphasis on fitting female Soldiers. But he said challenges remain in retaining ballistic performance with curved plate geometries. Tests have shown conformal ceramic armor doesn’t meet Army ballistic performance standards. Brig. Gen. Peter N. Fuller, PEO Soldier commander, wrote in an email that the Army had started procuring and distributing smaller front/back and side hard plates to accommodate small-sized Soldiers. “As we continue to research this area, we are also evaluating a conformal undergarment for women to better interface the hard plate to their bodies,” Fuller said. He also said that while commercial conformal body armor is available, it doesn’t meet Army performance requirements. Female Soldiers at Army Europe have tested gender-specific plate shapes. While the results showed the prototypes fit female front torso shapes better than the ESAPI, the strong front curve tended to dig into the area below the collar bone. Rickey said the Air Force Research Laboratory will refine female-specific plate shapes and continue human factors evaluations. “We anticipate at least one or maybe two more rounds of geometry design and fit evaluation in fiscal year 2011 that will include tests on female and male Soldiers for the unisex plates from Natick Soldier Research Development & Engineering Command,” Rickey said. The general also added a female Army Combat Uniform in 13 sizes is presently under evaluation across the total force with a completion date of May. Initial results are favorable from women Soldiers, he said. Helmets and nape pads to better accommodate women with longer hair tied up in buns are also in the works and expected to be available this summer. The Army is now approximately 14 percent female, though the Army has only recently moved away from a one-size-fits-all equipping strategy, Fuller said.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) unveiled the Democratic majority’s next phase COVID-19 policy proposal—titled the HEROES Act—on Tuesday.“This draft legislation makes it clear that there is a lot more work for Congress to do to ensure that as the economy reopens, consumers and small businesses have what they need to recover,” said CUNA Chief Advocacy Officer Ryan Donovan. “The good news is that this is the first step, not the last word.”“There are a number of provisions that will help in the recovery, like the $1 billion appropriations for the Community Development Financial Institution Fund. However, those provisions are offset by ones that are steps backwards, not to mention the beneficial policy proposals left on the table robbing small businesses of critical access to credit,” Donovan said. “We look forward to working with Congress to enact a bill that will do what needs to be done to help consumers, small business and the economy recover.” ShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr continue reading »
The four-bedroom house sold for a figure rumoured to be around the $2 million mark.The house failed to sell at auction in June where five bidders vied for the keys. The property passed in then the highest bidder, whose last bid was $1.9 million, signed a $2 million contract shortly after. The deal later fell over as the buyers were unable to settle. Ray White Prestige agent Robert Graham, who marketed the four-bedroom house, declined to comment on the sale, which was inked last week. A $2 million deal for the property fell over earlier in the year.

Sharing is caring! Image via: mapsofworld.comST GEORGE’S, Grenada — A government effort, involving long hours of negotiations and thousands of dollars in costs, has resulted in the safe return to Grenada of more than 35 passengers, including children, who went adrift off the Venezuelan coast.The MV Amelia A, which was travelling on September 15 from Trinidad to Grenada, experienced engine failure and went off its intended route.The vessel was tracked through a joint undertaking of Grenadian, Trinidadian and Venezuelan coast guard officers.All passengers, including a handful of non-nationals, were eventually flown back to Grenada from Venezuela on Saturday, September 24, on board a chartered Conviasa airline.They expressed appreciation for the assistance given to them during their ordeal, including help from the Grenada government.Benedict Phillip was among the thankful passengers excited to be back on Grenadian soil.“When we realized we were adrift we thought we would have been rescued sooner,’’ he said. “However, we met hospitable people on an island off Venezuela and I want to express my thanks to both the governments of Grenada and Venezuela. We just couldn’t desire better.’’The stranded passengers reported how worried they were on not being able to contact family members in Grenada. But, they kept their hopes high through prayer services.“At first we couldn’t get phone calls to our families and we were worried,’’ one female passenger said. “I was scared; we were between nowhere. We turned left, we saw water; we turn right, we saw water. It was only water and clouds and that was scary. But, people came together and consoled one other, and they advised us not to panic.’’ Christine Bartholomew, who was accompanied on the vessel by her 11-year-old granddaughter, described it as “nerve-wracking experience’’ that has changed her life. She said she and her fellow passengers had faith in God.Bartholomew, a resident of St Mark, added that she was more worried about her family back home than about herself.The passengers were met at Maurice Bishop International Airport in St George’s by family and friends, as well as representatives of the Grenadian and Venezuelan governments. They included Senator Denneth Modeste, Grenada’s Minister of State for the Environment, Foreign Trade and Export Development; and Venezuela’s Ambassador to Grenada, Carlos Amador Perez Silva.Modeste praised the then acting prime minister, Patrick Simmons, for his commitment in getting the passengers back to Grenada.“I wish to thank the acting prime minister for the manner in which he handled this issue. We are pleased with the way things worked out,’’ said Modeste. “This is an indication of the growing relations between Grenada and Venezuela.’’The Venezuelan ambassador said he was pleased to see the passengers back home.“I believe the happy conclusion is evidence of the good relations between Grenada and Venezuela, in that we can work very close in situations like this. We try to do our best in circumstances as those,’’ he said.Perez said he was also delighted in the accommodation afforded the passengers by the Venezuelan authorities, “and the way they have taken care of you during your stay there.’’The MV Amelia A was towed into Port St George on Monday.

Obika’s first-half goal all St Mirren needed to stamp their authority on the game and pocket three points. The 29-year-old striker bundled the ball in from close range in the 19th minute and the Buddies might have added to their lead before the interval.

FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail分享 Popular saying that there is no paddy in the jungle came to the fore Saturday, as Nigeria born Jon Obika stopped fellow Nigerian descent Hakeem Odoffin from singing victory song. Obika who plies his trade with St Mirren in the Scottish Premier league scored a 19th minute goal to earn his team three points thus dashing Hamilton’s quest for the first victory in the new season. Hamilton had lost two previous matches heading into Saturday’s encounter with Odoffin expressing optimism that the home tie against St Mirren would provide ample opportunity to test victory, a dream which crashed like a pack of cards. “We go into every game at home thinking we can win it so we have to have that mindset,” he enthused just before the match. The defeat means Odoffin and his teammates will have to wait till next Saturday to see whether they can outshine Motherwell to test victory. Hamilton boss Brian Rice said: “I thought we started the game really well, the first 10-15 minutes and then St Mirren took control.Advertisement Promoted Content7 Black Hole Facts That Will Change Your View Of The UniverseIt Might Be Quentin Tarantino’s Last Movie8 Ways Drones Will Automate Our Future7 Ways To Understand Your Girlfriend Better7 Netflix Shows Cancelled Because They Don’t Get The RatingsTop 7 Best Car Manufacturers Of All TimeCouples Who Celebrated Their Union In A Unique, Unforgettable WayBirds Enjoy Living In A Gallery Space Created For ThemMost Famous Female Race Car Drivers Of All Time9 Facts You Should Know Before Getting A Tattoo11 Most Immersive Game To Play On Your Table Top6 Extreme Facts About Hurricanes
(REUTERS) – Leading West Indian cricketers will prefer to play in lucrative Twenty20 tournaments around the world instead of representing the Caribbean side under the current administration, former captain Darren Sammy has said.Players such as Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo have long been embroiled in contractual disputes with the board and the team even abandoned a tour of India midway the 2014 series over a payment structure row.Cricket West Indies (CWI) only select players for its international sides if they feature in domestic competitions, leading to many high-profile absentees who ply their trade in overseas Twenty20 leagues.“I can’t tell a player not to play in a league when it could make them financially stable to look after their family,” Sammy, who led West Indies to two World Twenty20 titles, told BBC Radio Five Live.West Indies have had little success outside the shortest format and missed out on qualification for the recent Champions Trophy, played among the top eight 50-over sides of the world.They are ranked ninth in one-day internationals and one place higher in the Test format.Sammy tore into his home governing body immediately after guiding the side to their second World T20 title in India last year, saying the players “felt disrespected by the board coming into the tournament”.The 33-year-old has since missed out on selection for the West Indies.“The way we structure our cricket, we’re not going anywhere,” said Sammy, who has played 38 Tests and 126 ODIs.“I’m very scared we will be relegated to be playing against Ireland and Scotland. It’s very sad for usIf you really have West Indies cricket at heart you will have the right players for all the formats playing and helping you get to tournaments.”CWI said it was working with stakeholders to resolve the issue and was focused on direct qualification for the 2019 50-over World Cup in England and Wales.“Regarding player eligibility, since the July 2016 meeting in Fort Lauderdale, there has been ongoing meetings with the players in large and small groups, and we feel we are closer to a resolution,” the BBC quoted a CWI statement as saying.“Cricket West Indies remains focused on its role to facilitate player development through its competitions and other support services.”

Aside the guest speaker, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Ajamalaya Olusegun Ifetayo who mentored the students against moral vices in the society, other personalities at the one-day event includes; the Senior Manager, Clients and Market Development, Mrs. Delia Asuzu and Senior Manager Advisory Services Mr. Eyita Otudoh both of PwC Nigeria together with Chess Coordinator, Ministry of Education in Lagos State to inspire the students.In his submission, ACP Ajamolaya urged the students against criminal activities most of which are committed out of exuberant of the young lads of today.“Crime is becoming rampant among our younger generations and many engages in it for fun without realizing the consequences of their actions. These crimes are not victimless, as such law enforcement agents view them seriously,” he stated.He advised the students to desist from vices like cyber crime, obtaining money by tricks or violent crime like robbery and offenses affecting public order. He also urged them against fake news.In his own posit, Mr. Otudoh puts the student through a movie review ‘Queen of Katwe’ where they learnt that with chess, the small one can become the big one just as the Pawn hit the last rank and transformed into Queen which is the most powerful piece on the board.He mentored them with the film on how chess could teach them on how to plan, survive and analyze threats and overcome immediate obstacles. “Losing does not translate to failure and that if you don’t have to fit in to win and that other people’s life pattern does not determine how you shape your life,” he explained.He urged them to be brave and never compromise values for immediate gains but be discipline in order to improve respective mental strength.Among the schools that participated in the programme includes; Euba Junior Secondary School, CMS Girls Secondary school, Jubilee Model Senior Secondary school, Sari Iganmu Senior Secondary School, Immaculate Heart Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Unity Junior School, Eko Akete Senior Secondary School, New Era Senior Secondary School, Eko Boys High School and Government Senior College, Eric Moore among others.The schools also engaged each other in light chess tournament.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram Femi SolajaIt was an exciting moment for 18 different chess playing schools in Lagos that attended the 1st edition of the Mentorship Programme put together by Pricewaterhouse Coopers with its PwC Chess4Change initiative.Aside the regular chess tournament among the schools, PwC Chess4Change Programme intends to add value and change the lives young student to be leaders in their respective discipline in the nearest future.
