俄国人对如何拯救美国经济的建议

在网流传的一封电邮,俄罗斯《圣彼得堡时报》就“如何拯救经济”征求读者意见。
一名读者来函如下:

尊敬的总统先生:

以下是我对如何拯救美国经济的建议。

4 以其把上万元的资金用于拯救一些企业,浪费在豪华的派对和不值得给的花红上,还不如用在“爱国退修计划”(Patriotic Retirement Plan)上。

目前劳动力中,约有4000万人超过50岁,给他们每人100万元的提早退修金,契约是:

1。他们必须退休。这等于创造了4000万个工作,失业问题解决了。
2。他们每人必须买一部全新的美国汽车。4000万部车会被订购,汽车业问题解决了。
3。他们必须买房子或偿还房贷。房地危机解决了。

没有比这些更容易解决问题了!

如果还需要更多的钱,那么让所有众议院议员和他们的选民缴税。。。。

够COOL吧?

SINGAPORE has reported its first patient infected with the new A(H1N1) flu strain.
The patient, a 22-year-old Singaporean woman, had been in New York from May 14 to 24, and arrived here on Tuesday morning.
Advice from MOHSINGAPOREANS are reminded to maintain high standards of personal hygiene. This means covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough, and washing your hand frequently with soap and water, especially after contact with respiratory secretions (e.g.., after sneezing and coughing).We also need the cooperation of everyone to be socially responsible. This means staying home and avoiding crowded places (including trains, buses, offices), putting on a surgical mask and seeing a doctor if you have flu symptoms.

While seated in row 55 on Singapore Airlines flight SQ25, she began to develop a cough, but she passed the thermal scanner at the airport later without being stopped, because she did not have a fever at the time.
Later that morning, she went to a general practitioner who decided to send her to Tan Tock Seng Hospital via the special ambulance service 993 meant for suspected Influenza A (H1N1) cases.
Laboratory test confirmed her infection at midnight on Tuesday.
The patient is being treated at the TTH Communicable Disease Centre and is in stable condition.
The Health Ministry said the patient has been vigilant in monitoring her condition and had sought immediate medical attention once she realised she was unwell.
"Her attending GP, through his quick response in activating the 993 ambulance for the patient, had also helped to minimise the spread of infection from this case," said a ministry statement..
The Health Ministry has begun contact tracing of those who have been in close contact with the patient.
They will be quarantined and given antivirals to prevent them from developing the disease.
The ministry asked passengers who had been seated in rows 52 to 58 on the same flight to call its hotline on 1800-333 9999, so that its officers can check on their health condition.
The Ministry has reminded all medical practitioners and healthcare institutions to continue to be vigilant to suspect cases.
Temperature screening for passengers entering Singapore at all checkpoints - land, sea and air - will continue.
All passengers passing through or entering Singapore are given Health Alert Notices on board their flights, advising them to monitor their own health if they have been to affected areas and to seek medical attention immediately if they are not well
Best Regards.

Shuttle Atlantis lands after delay



Shuttle Atlantis lands after delay
(01:22) Rough Cut
May 24 - The U.S. space shuttle Atlantis touches down at the Edwards Air Force base in California following two days of landing delays caused by bad weather.

The shuttle has completed a 13-day mission to refurbish the Hubble Space Telescope.

The astronauts installed a new camera, replaced batteries and fixed instruments on the 19-year-old Hubble telescope, repairs that scientists hope will keep it in good working order for at least another five years.

The astronauts fitted Hubble with an even more sensitive camera that should be able to image objects formed 500 million years after the birth of the universe.

The touchdown came at 11:39 EDT (1539 GMT) after bad weather stalled two days of landing attempts at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Father's love





This is a True Story!

Son asked his father, "Dad, would you be willingly to run a marathon with me?"
The father, despite his age and a heart disease, said YES. They ran that marathon together.
The son asks, "Dad, can you run another marathon with me?", again the father said 'YES'..
They ran another marathon, together.

One day the son asked his father, "Dad, would you please do the Iron Man with me?" ( Now, just in case you don't know, 'The Iron Man' is the toughest triathlon in existence - 4km swimming, then 180 km by bike, and finally another 42 km running, all in one race. ) Again the father said 'YES'

Maybe this does not move you yet by heart ... but wait till you see the video. Its ok if you feel like crying for the courage, passion and love for the son.... You will add to the > 2.5 Million people who had seen this.... and Don't wait to see it another day, JUST DO IT NOW!

Amazing


AMAZING... Perito Moreno Glacier
This only happens every four years - it is amazing what we can see from our own homes if we are unable to travel. This would be as exciting to see as Niagara Falls . Enjoy!! Judy Perito Moreno Glacier in southern Argentina . Read first then look at pictures... This is an every-four-year event that has gone on for centuries. Absolutely amazing! This clip is of the spectacular South American glacier, The Perito Moreno Glacier, which breaks up every four years. Like clockwork, give or take a week. There are photographers from the four corners of the earth that come to Southern Argentina and literally camp out at the glacier site in order to get the actual breakup on film. The individual who filmed this did a marvellous job. This is something nobody wants to miss!
