They know a safe way to school

Seven children were awarded in a competition organized by the police. One of the prizes was a visit to the headquarters.

The children also received board game “Safe town”, reflective vests and reflective tapes, educational lesson plans and pens with emergency numbers.

China’s Cliff-Climbing ‘Spider Woman’ Detonated Abroad

Recently, a video taken by CNN & BBC detonated the foreign social web. It describes a story about climbing cliffs without ropes or any other tools in Miao ancestry. This is not a recreational activity but a traditional pass down for hundreds of years.

 

The woman in the video named Luo Dengping from the Miao minority group, who has been climbing with no ropes in this part of Guizhou province, Chine, for centuries. It was local custom to climb these steep cliffs and place coffins of deceased relatives there. Villagers later used these skills to collect swallow dung for fertilizer, and herbs as medicine.

 

Many visitors came and wanted to see how we collected the herbs. They paid us to show them how we did it. We thought that would be an easier way to make money. Since more Chinese user Western medicine, climbers can no longer make enough money selling herbs.

 

Some villagers are now hired by the local tourism board to do no-rope climbing performances for tourists. They are known as “spider men” in Chine and make 900RMB ($137) a month base salary, with 0.3RMB commission for each tourist through the gate. They climb 100m up the cliffs two times a day and have four days off every month.

 

It is please news that we let the world know more about our minority activity. But some villagers do not have a strong body like a young man anymore. It is dangerous when climbing if they are physical overdraft. Relative government should notice this phenomenon and make some protective measures for them.

 

For safety sake, our normal person should prepare enough when we do some outdoor excise. We should wear professional equipment like safety vest with reflective tape or reflective heat transfer film, special shoes and etc. These equipment not only can avoid hurting but also can help if something wrong happens unexpectedly.

Their children start school in barracks

The parents of students of an institute of Malaga protest because the course has begun in barracks and in minimum conditions of hygiene and security.

 

The parents of the young students of the Rincon de la Victoria Institute, in Malaga, protest the conditions in which their children have started the course.

 

These parents report that they have started school in barracks, in prefabricated classrooms that are not licensed. These classrooms do not meet the minimum conditions of hygiene and safety. The parents assume that the students have a bathroom for 240 children and have neither light nor playground.

 

The children have had to come with a construction helmet and a reflective vest.

WELL EDUCATING AND PROTECTING YOUNG CYCLISTS

For some young schoolchildren the daily commute to school is done every day by bike.

 

Road safety takes the opportunity to remind parents that it is essential to sensitize them to the traps of the road and traffic whether in town or in the countryside.

 

“Teach your child to respect signage, signs, lights, markings on the ground, and drive well to the right, use bike lanes when they exist and reach out to indicate which way he wants to turn.”

 

Equipment question, first of all, the first thing to remember is that on a bike, wearing a helmet is mandatory for children under 12 years old. “It protects the head in case of a fall, one of the most fragile parts of the body,” say the specialists.

 

To protect your hands, elbows and knees from falling, you can also encourage your child to wear equipment such as elbow pads, kneepads, gloves and wrist guards.

 

Finally, to be clearly visible, small cyclists as well as adults can also put on a retro-reflective vest. Not required but highly recommended for more security!

Bicycle rally at the end of the season

Today, the inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship Commune took part in the last bicycle rally this season.

 

About 70 people took part in the rally. Apart from the inhabitants of the commune, guests from the Czech Republic took part in it. The route of the rally was about 38km leading through Silesian Voivodeship.

 

The place of collection was the playground at the kindergarten. The organizers strongly emphasized safety issues, the participants had reflective vests and those riding helmets gifts were prepared in the form of bicycle lamps.

78 traffic deaths in the summer months

This year, 78 people died in domestic traffic during the summer months of July and August. Compared to previous years, there was a decline, according to ÖAMTC.

 

In the summer of 2017, there were 95 death, in 2016 a total of 101, according to the ÖAMTC in a press release. At the age of 18, most deaths occurred in Upper Austria. In Burgenland, no one died during the summer months in traffic. Among the dead were 33 motorcyclists, 23 car occupants, eleven cyclists, four pedestrians and three tractor drivers.

 

While the number of pedestrians killed was declining, there was an increase among motorcyclists. Altogether 77 motorcycle drivers died this year until the end of August. They were not wear reflective vests. According to ÖAMTC, 69 bikers killed in the first eight months of the previous year were 63 in the same period in 2016. One reason for the increase, according to ÖAMTC, could have been beautiful weather that attracted many motorcycle riders to the streets this year.

 

The most dangerous time for pedestrians comes first

The number of fatalities has reached its lowest level in recent years. Since the beginning of the year, 25 pedestrians died, in the summer months there were four. The most dangerous time for pedestrians, autumn and especially the dark winter, is yet to come. Also this year, it is recommended to wear bright and most reflective clothing.

 

However, the overall balance for 2018 is not so good year-on-year: Overall. There were 275 fatalities on the streets from 1 January to 2 September. In the same period of 2017, according to the Ministry of the Interior, there were 270 in total and 291 in 2016.

 

First graders received safety vests

“School in sight. Kids in view”, This is the motto of this year’s security campaign for first graders of the ADAC Foundation, in which more than 36,000 from West Germany 760,000 safety vests are distributed to first graders in Saxony.

 

As a prelude, Saxony’s Minister of Education Christian visited the 95th elementary school “Caroline” in Dresden today. Together with representatives of the action partners, he presented the West to 104 ABC shooters. Minister of Education Christian thanks the ADAC Foundation and the Deutsche Post DHL Group for this important event: “The best protection for our new school students is to be seen. The girls and boys with vest are visible at dusk up to 150 meters for motorists. That’s five times as far as dark-clad children. “says Pixar. The Minister also pointed out that traffic education was firmly anchored in the elementary school curriculum. Thus, in the first to fourth grade in the subject, the most important traffic rules and traffic-oriented behavior are taught.

 

Wearing a safety vest gives children and parents additional security when, in the fall, many first-year students master the way to school for the first time in the dark. Elementary school students often cannot properly assess the danger on the roads and because of their height, they often lack an overview. In addition, the directional hearing is not yet pronounced and the field of view is limited. So the children cannot always recognize approaching road users “out of the corner of their eyes”.

 

The signal effect of the safety vest of the ADAC Foundation makes children visible from afar for all other road users. An effect that protects you not only on the way to school but also during your free time. Helmut, board member for traffic and technology of the ADAC Saxony, sees the parents primarily responsible. “The safety vest with reflective tapes only serves its purpose when worn. That should just be a matter of course. ”

 

The entire logistics – shipping, customs clearance, packaging and shipping – from 30,000 parcels to 16,000 elementary schools will be provided free of charge by Deutsche Post DHL as a contribution to cooperation. “We are proud to be involved in this important task. With our expertise as a logistics provider, we ensure that the safety vests with reflective materials arrive wherever they are needed: directly in elementary schools, directly with the girls and boys who, as first graders, often make their first independent steps as road users, “says Ina, Head of the Department of Transport at the Deutsche Post Dresden branch.

Construction of new bicycle paths is coming to an end

Legionowo has been extending the cycle path network for years. At the moment, there are around 10km of tracks in the city. The second one is planned to be implemented as part of a joint project of 8 suburban communes.

 

The currently largest investment is implemented, among others along the many streets.

 

In addition to the routes listed, the tender is about to end in the near future, which will select the contractor 1.8km of the path and pavement on Street. In addition, the extension program includes shorter sections, among others.

 

The project is also aimed at connecting the Legionowo estate along the provincial road No. 632. Three local government units are involved in this undertaking: the City of Legionowo, the Municipality. The entire path is to be approximately 6 kilometers long and is to be fully marked. One parking station should be created next to it.

 

Common construction of 8 municipalities of paths is a difficult but very beneficial project, because 80% of funding were obtained from the European Union. I think that some of the fragments of the inhabitants will be able to move in a few days, a few weeks – says the city’s president, Roman.

 

The construction of the slipway is also underway for cyclists at the Legionowo Stop station. “The project consists of breaking the walls in an underground passage and leading out a gentle incline, which parents with prams will be able to the Third Parcel.” says Roman.

 

Bicycle Rental

In addition to cycling routes, the Legionowo town has a free bicycle rental in the Arena Legionowo. About 100 vehicles are available for rent. It operates from Monday to Sunday from 10.00 – 20.00. In addition to bicycles, you can rent helmets, clasps and reflective vests with reflective materials, as well as trailers for children. In order to be able to rent a single track, you will need to show a photo document, such as a passport. ID card or, driving license, as well as accept the rules of the rental and the rules of next to it.

There is one more free bike rental in the city. It operates seasonally, from May to November. It is located at the Tourist Information Office of the District in the Communication Center. It runs on weekdays from 9:00 to 17:00, and on weekends and holidays from 10:00 to 18:00. It directs its offer to residents as well as tourists who, when arriving in the city, can change to “two wheels”.

What do these projects mean in regulating cities?

The video and the later criminal denunciation realized by the municipality against put again in debate the question of “rags” in the city. Two initiatives, presented in the Municipal Council, intend to modify the ordinance that regulates the activity since 1981.

 

One of the projects UNO Santa Fe could have access to was promoted by councilor Sergio, who proposes that the municipality fix a number of qualifying credentials and define the area in which vehicle caregivers can exercise their work.

 

Clarifies that permits will be granted for space where “vehicle parking is allowed” but not in areas where parking is measured; current prohibition but that is not respected in many places in the city.

 

The project proposes that the interested parties have a certificate of good conduct and must go through initial training on traffic, public attention and citizen coexistence. Meanwhile, the municipality must publish on its website the list of the names and surnames of the persons authorized. Every vehicle caretaker must use the reflective vest with two reflective tapes and visibly carry the qualifying credential.

 

The other project that entered the site was presented by Marcela. In line with Basil’s initiative, the editor explained that the mission is to ensure that people who dedicate themselves to this activity are included in the formal labor market in the future.

 

The councilor recalled that in 2010 there were about 300 people, who wore their badge and hi vis vest. However, the legislator said. “there was no political decision to continue with the registration and to know who is on the street asking for this bonus.”

 

It is essential that “territorial disputes be resolved by the municipality and not the people”, with its consequences. “That’s why we have so many fights and fights,” he said. Speaking to the station of LT 10, said it is necessary to “assign days, hours and areas” car care. It also asks that they be duly identified so they can be reported in situations of violence or extortion.

 

As in the Basil project, it proposes that for mass events (Columbus or Union parties) a call be made and that the municipal government, through a lottery, makes a selection, with the particularity of doing so on a rotating basis.

 

For their part, the ruling party was in favor of giving debate in the Council, to accompany and improve initiatives with the aim of improving the current situation. Also, remember that a rule or ordinance will not solve situations of violence or end crime. “They are extortion, property violence and threats, they are all situations in which the police and prosecutors should act,” said Councilman Carlos Suarez.

 

“The municipal regulation by itself, will not solve the problem, we will find that within a few months we can have a municipal ordinance that regulates the activity but the problems we mention do not end, we must be clear with the neighbor” , the legislator pointed out.

Emmerich likes the “men in yellow”

Everyone knows the “men in yellow”, which ensure cleanliness in the city center and on the Rhine promenade. These are now celebrating an anniversary. For ten years, there is the garden group.

 

“Cleaning is just a task. We also cut hedges and rose beds, mow lawns, fill gravel paths and irrigate the green space. “says Peter, who heads the group. And casting the plants was a special challenge in the hot and dry summer.

 

Currently, seven people with Handy cap belong to the team of Peter. Alexander Wagner, Frank, Sven Schmidt, Thorsten, Tobias, Dennis and Steffen like their work. “Working in the fresh air is fun,” said Frank.

 

On the occasion of the anniversary Mayor Peter accompanied the group on Monday over the Rhine promenade and through the city – equipped with a reflective vest and tongs. “We are grateful that we see you every day in the city. In wind and weather you ensure cleanliness,” praised the mayor. An elderly lady told him that she was always happy to see the “men in yellow” because they not only cleanse everything, they also always have a smile for them. Peter said.

 

The mayor diligently picked up paper, packets of cigarettes and bottle caps and wondered about the cigarette butts. “That’s alarming when you know how a fag can harm drinking water,” he said. The members of the garden group go through the city three times a day, traveling from eight to 15.30. They spend their breakfast break at the team Center, having lunch at KLK’s canteen.

 

The garden group was an important step on the way to inclusion, explained Peter, a trained car mechanic and master chimney sweeper, who after a retraining became the head of the garden and landscape team. “The goal is to get the boys into the general job market,” he said. That worked so far once. Within the group, the employees are encouraged and trained, learn how to use garden tools and machines that are used for garden maintenance.

 

After the tour, the team planted a sweet chestnut – Tree of the Year 2018 – Park as a thank-you and sign of their long-term cooperation.

Andreas, Managing Director of the team, personally thanked Hine for the good cooperation.
