I Want

Fred Watson

Geordie was sitting in the club nursing a pint of Fed Special and staring moodily out of the window at the rain when his mate Dave arrived.

‘Bloody rain,’ said Dave as he shrugged out of his jacket and hung it on the back of the chair.

‘Aye, talk about summer; it’s hardly stopped since May,’ replied Geordie.

‘That’s the British weather for you.’

‘Aye, but it would be nice to sit in the sun occasionally.’

‘It’s nice in Cornwall.’

‘So?’

‘So, we can visit Mal.’

'What, your cousin Mal? The one that likes a gamble.’

‘He’s into casinos now, worth a couple of hundred million, got this big gaff on the coast.’

‘And we just turn up there?’

‘No, I’ve got an open invitation, all I have to do is send him an email.’

‘Well, what are we waiting for?’

Two days later they drive up the mile long driveway to Mal’s place of residence, Shangri-la – I know, I know, what can I say? – and park between a Ferrari and Bentley.

The butler shows them to their rooms and informs them that Mr Thompson expects them for drinks by the pool in an hour. A quick shower, a change of clothes and they make their way down to the pool – it’s an Olympic size salt water pool, carved out of the rocks at one end of the private beach, next to a large lagoon. The decking that surrounds the pool is heaving with people and as they look around they spot Mal at the other side of the crowd. He waves and pushes his way over, ‘Hello Dave, long time, no see.’

‘Hi, Mal, great looking party,’ said Dave and turned to introduce Geordie.

But Geordie is staring towards the lagoon, ‘Is that what I think it is?’ he asks.

‘Yeah, it’s a Great White.’

‘Is it your?’

‘No it just appeared a couple of days ago, there’s underwater entrance into the lagoon from the sea.’

‘Will it be able to survive in there?’

‘No, but it will eventually find its way back out again. In the meanwhile I’ve got a bet on with that consortium of Chinese over there, that I can find somebody brave enough to swim one length of the pool, after I’ve let the shark in.’

‘You’re joking!’

‘No, I’m deadly serious.’

With that Mal gave the signal to open the gate from the lagoon and in due course the Great White swam through. Mal picked up a bullhorn and crowd quietened. ‘Ok here is the deal,’ said Mal, ‘anyone who jumps into the pool, swims one length and get out the other end in one piece, can have their hearts desire. They only have to tell me what they want and it is theirs.’

No one made a move, the silence deepened, suddenly there was a splash and Geordie was in the water and swimming like the clappers up the pool. The shark turned in behind him; his arms and legs were going ninety to the dozen. The beast began to close in, Geordie looked behind and his arms and legs became a blur as he sped up, he reached the end of the pool shot up the steps and collapsed on the decking.

Dave and Mal raced to his side, Geordie lay there gasping for breath.

‘You did it,’ cried Dave.

‘Tell me what you want,’ cried Mal

‘I want…’ gasped Geordie.

‘Yes?’

‘I want to get…’

‘Yes! Yes!’

‘I want to get a hold of the prat that pushed me in the pool.’

The Journey of Gilgamesh-wisdom and Goodwill= Immortality

Oladokun Sulaiman


Gilgamesh quest for imortality end up to discovery the purpose of life-
In Babylonian legend, king of Uruk, is the hero of the Gilgamesh epic, It tells of the adventures of the warlike and imperious Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu. When Enkidu suddenly sickened and died, Gilgamesh became obsessed by a fear of death. His ancestor Ut-napishtim (who with his wife had been the only survivor of a great flood) told him of a plant that gave eternal life. After obtaining the plant, however, Gilgamesh left it unguarded and a serpent carried it off. The hero then turned to the ghost of Enkidu for consoling knowledge of the afterlife, only to be told by his friend that a gloomy future awaited the dead.
Gilgamesh started a journey to discover the cure for death ,he must be a curious person-- it sound mythy thus, he went through hurdles, he fought monsters, he risk his life , but after he got the plant just a mere sleep took immortality from him , then he has to come back home empty handed, lucky he was loved for what he has done , he has built great during his reign and he could finally claimed that he actually got immortality because his name is written in plata of gold in the front of the city for leading challenge to build great civilization among is people. Also, he was a bully in his earlier life but he finally became a good person, example of this lies how he met Enkindu who does not even have 1 single cloth - but Enkindu has wisdom and the sixth sense to see beyond, and this is what raised him - But since nobody knows tomorrow, is better to be good all the time .

What we are going to learn in the story of Gilgamesh?
The stories of Gilgamesh tell us about a triad of human experience:
(1) Our relationship with ourself , ourprophet and God
(2) Our relationships with each other and "Self";
(3) And our relationship with the natural world and the other species that inhabit it. The first category is the house of cosmogony, theology, death, and destiny.

The second, the reside of agriculture, culture, humanities and science, civilization, technology, and genuine warfare. Then there is the planet earth, our environment and stories of homo sapiens living on the land and sea. The categories overlap, evident in seminal essays like "The Land Ethic" where Aldo Leopold suggests that the law of ethics, the evolution of human rights, will be extended to include the land itself and all species that inhabit it.
Mythology of State/ Mythology of Self: a common theme in mythology which underscores the tension between the individual and what the individual desires (private agendas) and the individual and the obligations to the group in which he or she lives (public agendas). Ultimately in most stories the outcome demonstrates how heroes come to understand the necessity of community and thus come to see themselves more clearly as interdependent members of a particular group or society.
Triumh and Tragedy: the twin pillars at the Lion's Gate of Western Thought. Triumph is the genre of the romance/ adventure where the hero overcomes all obstacles; it is the story of unlimited possibility regardless of the agony one faces. In Homer, Odysseus epitomizes the hero who gets it all. On the other hand, Tragedy is about limits to human freedom. Tragedy teaches the consequences of excess. However tragedy as a genre can still be a celebration of life as in the end of the Oresteia.
Someone once said that our secrets are all the same. While I believe in universals among humans, the notion seems difficult to realize in a world of such diversity. In truth, perhaps the best of all of us do share a common hope: to be at peace with the world, to come to terms with the failings of love and the ramifications of hate, to shed the strategies of division that systematically teach us to think narrowly. I believe that mythology often includes a bewildering story of a hero's capacity to do good, to be a living creature with soul and reason--regardless of the agony of life. In this, a great many of the mythic voices are consistent even in the matter of details.
1. The individual in the world, particularly in relationship to others and to the natural world.
Begin with the assumption that storytelling is vital to human health. In History , our relationship to the world at large has been, in part, the story of ethics and humanity, the actualization of equality and peace through narrative art. The central theme of Gilgamesh begins with a simple question: Gilgamesh is portrayed in the prologue as an oppressor or tyrant. What happens to this view of him as the story progresses?

Other themes are worthy of in-depth discussion. Heroes are people who know secret things. Plato's allegory of the cave characterizes the place of the hero within the world. Are heroes ever to be pitied?
2. The limits of creative imagination and human possibility. Gilgamesh pushes the boundaries of known human experience.
3. The significance of history
4. The quest for peace.
5. The role of wilderness in shaping human identity and consciousness
6. Nature and culture: the coming of Enkidu
7. The hero's journey: Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) delineates the stages of the heroic quest--the call to adventure, the aid of mentors, the crossing of thresholds, the trials and tribulations, the supreme ordeal, the road back, and the revitalization of the community.

Enjoy the poem of his journey:
The one who saw all [Sha nagba imuru ]I will declare to the world,
The one who knew all I will tell about
He saw the great Mystery, he knew the Hidden:
He recovered the knowledge of all the times before the Flood.
He journeyed beyond the distant, he journeyed beyond exhaustion,
And then carved his story on stone.
The skies roared with thunder and the earth heaved,
Then came darkness and a stillness like death.
Lightening smashed the ground and fires blazed out;
Death flooded from the skies.
When the heat died and the fires went out,
The plains had turned to ash.

Father, let me have the Bull of Heaven
To kill Gilgamesh and his city.
For if you do not grant me the Bull of Heaven,
I will pull down the Gates of Hell itself,
Crush the doorposts and flatten the door,
And I will let the dead leave
And let the dead roam the earth
And they shall eat the living. The dead will overwhelm all the living!
The house where the dead dwell in total darkness,
Where they drink dirt and eat stone,
Where they wear feathers like birds,
Where no light ever invades their everlasting darkness,
Where the door and the lock of Hell is coated with thick dust.
When I entered the House of Dust,
On every side the crowns of kings were heaped,
On every side the voices of the kings who wore those crowns,
Who now only served food to the gods Anu and Enlil,
Candy, meat, and water poured from skins.
I saw sitting in this House of Dust a priest and a servant,
I also saw a priest of purification and a priest of ecstasy,
I saw all the priests of the great gods.
There sat Etana and Sumukan,
There sat Ereshkigal, the queen of Hell,
Beletseri, the scribe of Hell, sitting before her.
Beletseri held a tablet and read it to Ereshkigal.
She slowly raised her head when she noticed me
She pointed at me:
"Who has sent this man?"
The gods shook like beaten dogs, hiding in the far corners of heaven,
Ishtar screamed and wailed:
"The days of old have turned to stone:
We have decided evil things in our Assembly!
Why did we decide those evil things in our Assembly?
Why did we decide to destroy our people?
We have only just now created our beloved humans;
We now destroy them in the sea!"
All the gods wept and wailed along with her,
All the gods sat trembling, and wept.
I [Utnapishtim] released a dove from the boat,
It flew off, but circled around and returned,
For it could find no perch.
I then released a swallow from the boat,
It flew off, but circled around and returned,
For it could find no perch.
I then released a raven from the boat,
It flew off, and the waters had receded:
It eats, it scratches the ground, but it does not circle around and return.
I then sent out all the living things in every direction and sacrificed a sheep on that very spot.
At one time Utnapishtim was mortal.
At this time let him be a god and immortal;
Let him live in the far away at the source of all the rivers.
O woe! What do I do now, where do I go now?
Death has devoured my body,
Death dwells in my body,
Wherever I go, wherever I look, there stands Death!
For whom have I labored? For whom have I journeyed?
For whom have I suffered?
I have gained absolutely nothing for myself,
I have only profited the snake, the ground lion!

When Gilgamesh returns to Uruk, he is empty-handed but reconciled at last to his mortality. He knows that he can’t live forever but that humankind will. Now he sees that the city he had repudiated in his grief and terror is a magnificent, enduring achievement—the closest thing to immortality to which a mortal can aspire. The story tell us that life is about doing good, when we do good , we will remain alive forever, Analyzing leaders that have done good and comparing them with tyrant show that they weekend are easy to forget , that also that human actually goodness .
The story also shows that - Life is a journey toward wisdom (experience + knowledge /goodness + love) to building community and raises a good generation, not toward death. After we die, we will surely go somewhere where we shall account for these things - the reality of this lie in the short sheep we have every night, and of course the seasonal color change of the plants every year- the fact that we remember good people forever show that we are made in the name of goodness, and goodness is immortality -.
Thus, Gilgamesh set out on journey and quest to seize the fruit of immortality- life is sweet and he really want to enjoy it forever , he risked everything , he was determined , he got there -but no, matter what he cant come back with the precious fruit of immortality -- but he end discovering nothing but the purpose of our existence and living --- wisdom and goodwill-- the importance attached to this to build develop great society and raise good kids or protégée that will make a good generation .

Getting Used to Sustainable System Design - the Case of Ship and Ocean 2

Oladokun Sulaiman

Getting used to sustainable system design - the case of ship and ocean 2


2-26-07- Getting used to sustainable system design - the case of ship and ocean 2 magnify

6.2 Policies and procedures build-up - collision preventions and control -Although ships may spend 90 – 98 percent of their operational lives underway at sea speed in deep water, it is during the mandatory beginning and end of every voyage when the risk of collisions, and groundings are highest. Ensuring the ability to maintain complete and positive control of a ship’s movement during these segments of a voyage is absolutely vital if that risk of navigation safety and protection of the marine environment is to be reduced. According to INTERTANKO’s 1996 Port and putting bigger and bigger ships (and more of them) into the same old channel:

· The design limit for trim by the stern for a tanker is 0.015L in accordance with Regulation 13 of MARPOL 73/78, Annex I. This information, which is based on tests conducted in deepwater, includes a turning circle diagram as well as tables showing time and distance to stop the vessel from full and half-speed.

· IMO Resolution A601 (15), which was adopted in 1987, contains recommendations for ensuring maneuvering information is available on board ship.

· The 1995 Seafarers’ Training, Certification and Watch keeping Code, Section A-VIII/2 part 3-1, and article 49 require the master and pilot to “exchange information regarding navigation procedures, local conditions and the ship’s characteristics.”

· A Marine Board study assessed the use of numerical simulation technology to train mariners and concluded that while modeling accuracy is sufficient for deep-water operations; modeling requires refinement to provide the accuracy needed for shallow and restricted water operations.

6.3 Ship design policy build-up -In 1971, IMO adopted Resolution A.209 (VII) establishing recommendations regarding posting maneuvering 9 Regulation II-1/29.3.2 of SOLAS requires rudder movement from 35 degree on either side to 30o on the other to occur in 28 seconds or less.

IMO approved circular MSC/Circ.389 in 1985 establish interim guidelines for estimating the maneuverability -Rudder size and effectiveness, Ability to transit at slow forward speed, Propulsion and propeller characteristics, Number of available engine reversals, Adequate horsepower for control, Extra reserve rudder angle needed to allow for ship crabbing from wind forces or moored ship suction, Visibility from bridge and bridge arrangement, Hull form squat (trim and sink age) characteristics and effect of bank forces on moorings and passing ships, Air draft, Emergency anchoring ability, Amount of tow line leads and line access.

7.0 Current Ship design practice

Existing design tools cannot, at least with any degree of reliability, be used to design a vessel and ensure it will ensure environmental reliability and adequate maneuverability in shallow or restricted waters neither can it be use to satisfy demand need by clean ships . In part this is because of the extreme on-linearity of hull and propulsion characteristics under these conditions. In general, naval architects and marine engineers are educated and equipped with knowledge, skills, and design processes that permit continuous checking and balancing of constraints and design tradeoffs of vessel capabilities as the design progresses.

The intended result of the process is the best design given the basic requirements of speed, payload, and endurance nor where the waste is going. Focus is not placed on how the channels and waterways are designed. Perhaps even more importantly, there is a general lack of understanding of the operational scenario regarding piloting of vessels in constrained waterways. Only recently has there been a real attempt to fully integrate human operational practices with vessel design. The involvement of human beings onboard vessels both extends and restricts the inherent vessel maneuvering capabilities vastly complicating the necessary methodology for assuring safe and efficient operations. Taking waste issue and restricted waterway maneuverability as an important part of ship design spiral would seem a necessary step to enabling proper tradeoffs in vessel design. The reality is that maneuverability and pollution protection is still not an important consideration in ship design of many merchant ships. The result is that design decisions that can compromise environment and collision are decided in favor of other factors. Only with consideration of the full range of ship and channel design and human factors relationships affecting maneuverability will we be able to produce an efficient and safe environmental friendly marine transportation system. Now that the new issue of environment is around, then we have to squeeze in more stuff in the spiral.

8.0 Mitigation

8.1 Shipboard and waste emission outline –treatment and elimination - Pollution Prevention (P2) or Pollution Control-this is backbone of the thrust in achieving clean ship. Pollution Prevention Use fewer environmentally harmful substances and generate less waste on board. Pollution Control: Increase treatment, processing, or destruction of wastes on board.

The basic P2 principles follow:

Eliminating the use of environmentally harmful chemicals, such as ozone-depleting substance (ODSs), toxic antifoulant hull coatings, and other hazardous materials, may be the best approach for some potential problems.

Fig.2-Treatment and emission

Reducing the amount of waste we generate on board is often better that treating it on board: for example, reducing the amount of plastics and other packaging materials taken aboard may simplify solid and plastics-waste management? Similarly, reducing the volume of liquid wastes generated (such as graywater) may simplify onboard liquid-waste treatment.

1. For the wastes and hazardous materials that cannot be prevented, we must develop pollution-control strategies and technologies.

Other technical mitigation measures are:

 

Antifouling


  • Toxic approach uses other metals such copper and zinc, or agrochemicals e.g. triazines

  • Fouling release approach use physical properties of low surface energy coating cause the very weak attachment of fouling organisms. E.g. silicone based coating

  • Fouling deterrence –marine organism not know for fouling like corals are use

  • Mobile hull cleaning is also being use operationally


 

Ballast water discharge


  • On board treatment – chemical (chlorination), physical treatment (Ultra violet light, heat treatment), filtration and cyclonic separation, shore base treatment is sometime being used but not common.

  • Operational mitigation based on information of biological difference between coastal ocean water where ballast and ballasting is done accordingly.


Air emission


  • Sulfur reduction in bunker fuel

  • Nitrogen reduction to choice of propulsion system

  • On board Cataleptics system like charlatanic converter, water injection, emulsion

  • Operationally sped reduction and use of shore power connection has been implemented


8.2 Ship collision control and prevention outlines- Most accident are attributed to a flagrant controllability problem and the remain the classic impetus necessary to make improvements to safety and environmental protection, and we e need to do more to ensure adequate vessel maneuverability perhaps better matching of vessel, channel, and operational practices.

Ship maneuverability as major iterative element of design spiral-ship maneuverability is not considered particularly important during the design process, because Owners generally do not include maneuverability requirements as part of the design specification; Firm deep- and shallow/restricted-water maneuvering standards that can be applied during the design process should be established.

Modeling and simulation -Collection of data using dual frequency DGPS receivers and proper analysis needs to be supported to enable unlocking our understanding of restricted water operations.

9.0 Environmental technology

9.1 Recent development coalition control work -Environmental technology also become hot as issue of environment start burning, this might be a start of another evolution, as environmental technology product will start selling good.

9.1 Recent environmental performance


  1. 1 Ozone safe substances- 200-Ton Air-Conditioning Plant Conversion Kit -The CG-47and DDG-51 plants have been successfully converted to the ozone-friendly refrigerant HFC-236fa conversion kit has been established by NSWCCD.


 


  1. Solid waste - Solid-Waste Pulpers -The pulper (especially the large pulper) is the machine into which you dump tremendous quantities of paper, cardboard, or food waste. The waste mixes with seawater to form slurry, which is then discharged overboard. Studies show an immediate 100,000-to-1 dilution when discharged into the wake of a ship. Ships equipped with a pulper can dispose of their paper, cardboard, and food waste just about anywhere and at anytime—at sea including MARPOL areas.


 


  1. Liquid waste - OWS and Bilge water Polishers: Many bilge cleaners the Navy uses today contain long-lasting emulsifying agents, which produce stable oil-in-water emulsions that shipboard OWSs cannot effectively process.



  1. Shipboard Wastes and Emissions


To improve the reliability of sanitary waste system sewage transfer-pump suction and discharge gauges, naval research laboratory the ring-gauge isolator is adopting, Thermal Destruction and integrated liquid discharge system, the later is a concept where ultra filtration membrane systems would concentrate bilgewater, graywater, and sewage (as previously described); the clean effluents would be discharged; and the concentrates would be evaporated/incinerated in a thermal-destruction system.


9.2 Recent development coalition control work - A number of promising developments that exist today are:

1. Kutsuro Kijima showed a modeling approach that permitted analysis of passing situations that would help set procedural standards for safe passing.

2. IanDand reported on the development of models for ships squat that have shown very good accuracy over the years.

3. Larry Daggett described the advent of dual frequency DGPS receivers and their role in gathering full-scale ship trial data. In addition to the excellent horizontal accuracy of the normal DGPS receiver, these receivers provide vertical location with an accuracy measured in centimeters.

10.0 The future

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain of success than to take a lead in the introduction of a new order of things because the innovation has for enemies all those have done well under the old conditions and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under new.

Machiavelli, the prince

Recent Safety and Environmental Strategic focus on developing metrics to measure and evaluate progress. The key issues and actions are incorporated in the clean ship concept. Ships owner and operators must understand the need to include wastes stream management in mission requirement in the design stages, with the goal of ships being in compliance. Ship designer must pursue technologies to reduce or eliminate waste streams. The metrics use to monitor progress towards achieving environmentally sound ships will focus on shipboard pollution control equipment installations, specifically the planned versus actual installations. Each waste stream or environmental pollutant, equipment installations, the percentage of total installations completed versus the planned percentage, will be used as a measure of progress for that waste stream. For waste streams and contaminants for which no equipment has been approved or anticipated, the metric will born many R&D for necessary findings . We must take a lead in effectively integrating pollution prevention and safety into the design and life cycle of our ships, systems, ordnance into the execution of our processes, and into the operation. Managing the whole process is another thing; environmental management can be optimizing by incorporating the following concept in our system:

 


  1. Goal based , risk based and holistic design approach

  2. Total cost minimization concept,

  3. Innovative safety and environmental strategy management and integration,


Planning for uncertainty and risk, R(P1c) = R(E1) x W(E1,P1) + R(E2) x W(E2,P1) + R(E4) x W(E4,P1)

Where: R= rating, E= environmental factor, P= Policy factor


  1. Probabilistic and stochastic validation

  2. Education and training


 

11.0 Working better by working together

Amazingly, it seem that everything is need to be integrated in order for the world to function, this sounds ironical, even thus the environment has naturally integrated everything, the same apply to maritime on issue of safety and marine environmental impact control and protection, it is important to for the main players in design (pilots, regulators, channel designers, simulator experts and ship operators),and all concerned to share experience Regarding differences in rules and among regulators, about rules that are taken too light , sensitivity of area, degrees of hazard for various ship types ,Naval architects and ship handlers alike should take the importance of importance green house and green ship issue and (and difficulty) of the passing maneuver unrestricted waters .

Environmental issue has become so sensitive because it is more or less of evidence that nature has exercise enough patience, impact has reach flash point and those who are knowledgeable about the behavior of matter and environment could sense potential of contagious chain of reaction that can lead to heavy calamity destruction and lost. Treating the issue equally required hybridizations of all the methodology we have been using- objectives and subjective, reactive and proactive, and of course newly holistic institutionalized method that compare and consider trend analysis of every elements of what we are dealing with.

Remembering Victime of Hiv

Oladokun Sulaiman

Remembering victims of HIV / AID- Need for modest strategies to fight HIV/AID
I write with deep sorrow for the death of innocent people, children who have lost life, physical and nature’s war.

I want my condolences and deeply felt sympathy to go to the loves one they left behind and all people on sincerely value steadfast revolutionary role for a better world and through their writing , art , emotion etc.

We know so little ofthe state of departed soul,since such knowledge is beyond us, and is ot necesary to a god life, when we have no help, nothing remain but to look up to higher power who isthe best aleviation of the loss of friends.

AID, has came to join one the debacle that inflicted humanity as a natural war, 25 years ago. It has killed more that 20 million people, infected more 40 million people, remain one of the greatest enemy of human civilization just like war.

Through Humanity has lost valuable personality, intelectual , revolutionaries, men treasured with wisdom and sence of humanity .

Many has been story told about origin of aid which has involved much finger pointing , how can we find solution without knowing the actual source of aid , what really started and what is the wisdom such cause is looking for.One faction will say it is from Africa , another faction will say it is from gay, and the diference between these two is clear to allof us.what is really going on.

Many has been promised made and propaganda about finding solution to this deadly disease. Little has been sincerity offered by stakeholders.

Yet we can never blame the merciful god because, he left everything we would need to take care of ourselves.

They say “For every ailment under the sun, there's a remedy or there's none. If there's one, find it. If there's none, never mind it”

The fight against aid has involved a big challenge ever for humanity.

Like problem of making peace, like problem associated with war and human, sense of togetherness and responsibility has been a big barrier to solution for AID.

Society disease of unnecessary competition through greed, superiority complex, status quo or what I will call arrogance has taken toll in blinding us human from seeing the most significant insight into finding solution to our problem.Today , you wil lnes that tradition medical practitioner found a remedy , tomorow the moder practiional will denie instead of compromise-- what is it with human .?

HIV/AIDS issues have been view wrong perspective that has involved associating it with sexual connotations to it. Every aspect of the discussion involves sex ever since its first appearance.

Is it not time to for us to address the root cause of the problem. Yes HIV/AIDS is all about SEX. 90% of the HIV/AIDS victim gets infected through sex. What can we do about this?

HIV issue has become more or less a problem of pollution; it is abstract, full of uncertainty, and many things we still can’t see.

This why it is important to apply the PPC (PREVENTION, PROTECTION AND CONTROL) doctrine, We must control it, and for areas we can exercise control we must apply appropriate prevention and protection mechanism by all means to reduce case of HIV.

HIV/AIDS issues should be address through SEX, that is to address the
issue of SEX Education. Maybe have Sex Education in schools as a
Compulsory.

Many pretend and shy a way on talking about Sex..some places , it is considered as tabous, whereas they like so much and they do it so much but the issues of HIV/AIDS grows. If we start talking about sex education, we would definitely reduce the number of HIV/AIDS cases.

With Sex Education we will be able to share knowledge and information which is needed to fight HIV/AIDS ie..

• Reproductive health
• Transmission
• Choices
• Sexuality
• Economics & social pressures
• Voluntary & confidential counseling
• About dating
• Their rights & responsibilities

With better understanding in the above issues people are able to
make good decisions on Sex, condom usage and how to prevent HIV/AIDS.
This way we can spread out this message and aware /prevent society from HIV.

Above all we should not forget that rational tranquility in the prospect of our own dissolution can always bereceive only from the promises of HIM in whose hands are life and death.

Life Insurance - A Funny Story

A life insurance broker named Steve was always the top salesman for his company. In fact, he just completed his 8th straight year as the number 1 insurance agent when he decided it was time to hang 'em up and retire.

His best friend and partner James took him out for a drink one last time - on company time, of course. James asked, "Steve, you're the best life insurance agent I've ever seen. For the past 8 years, you've been outselling everyone. And every time I ask how you do it, you never tell me. Now that you are retiring, let me in on your secret. How do you sell so many life insurance plans?"

Steve thought for a moment. "You know what, James, you're right. I do have a secret to selling life insurance. I've kept it to myself for all these years. But now that I am retiring, I can't think of a better person to keep it alive than you. So, I will tell you how I do it."

James started to get more excited as the thought of having this wonderful knowledge coursed through his mind. He could hardly contain himself.

"Tell me, Steve. What is it? I'm dying to know."

Steve took a sip from his drink and leaned back on his chair, scanning his surroundings to ensure that this top-secret data would not fall into enemy hands. He then leaned forward and began to speak.

"James, when you first start, you have to tell them about all the features and the benefits of the plan. Make sure you tell him - and always him - that it is his duty as the man of the house to protect his family. Doing otherwise would be considered a failure as a husband and as a father."

James seemed unimpressed. "Everyone does that, Steve. You know that. That isn't very insightful."

Steve did not seem concerned with James' protest. "Easy, relax. Just listen to me, and it will all become clear." Steve took another sip while James sat both anxious and nervous.

"Now," Steve continued, "during every presentation, I always suddenly stop my pitch and ask the client if he is feeling OK. Inevitably, he will always answer 'yes' to that question. When he does, I look at him in a strange way. And every so often, I will ask if there is anything I can do for him. Maybe get him a glass of water or if he wants a moment to himself."

"Interesting approach" replied James. "How effective is it?"

Steve looked around and then looked James square in the eye. "To be honest, it rarely works. But, it's the next step which always hooks them."

James could no longer take it. "Steve, please tell me!"

Steve smiled. "I always say: 'Please don't let me scare you into making a rushed choice. Sleep on it tonight. IF you should wake up in the morning, please give me a call and let me know. I'll by DYING to hear from you."
