Migrate to Australia: Australia's health SHINES

Part of the reason why people invest in Australia is because of its excellent quality lifestyle.
My previous blog Why Invest in Australia ? EXCELLENT QUALITY OF LIFE talks about it.

Today on news.com.au, it is found that Australia has ranked best in the world for mortality and life expectancy rates.

Check this article below, 

BRITONS are among the unhealthiest people in Western Europe, says a UK study which has ranked Australia as the highest performer in two health categories. 

Using data collected for the Global Burden of Diseases project, international researchers analysed rates of sickness and death from 1990 to 2010. 

Australia ranked No. 1 for mortality rate and No. 1 for life expectancy compared with the US, Canada, the UK and the European Union. 

However, experts described the UK's results as "startling" and said Britain was failing to address underlying health risks in its population, including rising rates of high blood pressure, obesity and drug and alcohol abuse. 

"It's incredibly surprising," said Dr Christopher Murray, who studies health metrics at the University of Washington in Seattle and is the lead author of the latest report.
"We all think of the UK as having a great health system and as one of the most sophisticated medical research communities in the world." 

"Nobody would have really expected that the UK would be toward the bottom."
Murray and colleagues said there was virtually no change in the rate of premature deaths among British adults aged 20 to 54 but found a spike in deaths caused by drug and alcohol abuse for that age group. 

Cirrhosis, or liver disease often linked to alcohol consumption, has jumped by more than 65 per cent in Britain in the last two decades, prompting a recent government proposal to crack down on cheap drinks by setting minimum prices.
As in most Western nations, heart disease, stroke and cancer were the leading killers.
Heart disease remains Australia's biggest killer but it led to 32 per cent fewer deaths in 2010 than it did in 1990, the research found. 

Alzheimers, however, has rocketed up the rankings, jumping from 26th place as a cause of premature death in Australians in 1990 to ninth in 2010. 

Lung cancer has replaced stroke as Australia's second biggest killer, while road injury deaths have dropped 40 per cent. 

The research was paid for by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and published online in the UK journal Lancet.  Read more: http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health-fitness/australian-health-shines-uks-slumps/story-fneuzlbd-1226591345911#ixzz2MjxUCrwI

 Dr Christopher Murray was incredibly surprise because people often think that UK has the greatest health care system and sophisticated medical research communities in the world. Nobody expected that UK will be at the bottom when it comes to healthcare.

Among the reason why UK's health is going down is because of failure to identify health risk among the population including, high blood pressure, obesity, drug and alcohol abuse.

With the advance technology and modern healthcare system, Australia's health shine today.

So here's an overview of Australia's health today.

Thank you for reading.

Invest in the Tourism Industry- Strategic location 

Because of it's strategic location to Asia market, there are significant tourism growth and investment opportunities available.

Invest in the Tourism Industry - Strong domestic market 

Australia alone takes about 70 millions overnight trips and spend A$43 billion with Australia each year. See how strong their domestic market is? 

Australians are enthusiastic holiday-makers in their own country, taking about 70 million overnight trips and spending A$43 billion within Australia each year.  Domestic tourism spend continues to underpin the tourism sector, accounting for 62 per cent of total tourism consumption. Read more here....

Getting Arrested Because of Harlem Shake

After the Video 'Harlem Shake' went viral, many have started creating their own Harlem Shake parody and posted on Youtube. The Harlem Shake meme was established by 5 teenagers from Queensland Australia registered on Youtube as TheSunnyCoastSkate. 

The Harlem Shake video was a success because it attributed to the anticipation of breakout moment and short length, making them very accessible to watch.

Today it is almost a month since the internet meme Harlem Shake was created. According to BBC, 

The Harlem Shake viral video trend, which has sparked over 100,000 imitations and garnered nearly a billion views, has been going a month. It's been unique in the speed of its spread. (BBC)

Youtube says about the Harlem Shake 

On 2 February, the Harlem Shake video meme was born. By 11 Feb, YouTube claimed there were 4,000 videos being uploaded a day.

Over 700 million people have viewed the videos, YouTube says. More than 100 versions have at least a million views. The most has nearly 40 million.

 The fact that it is short and easy to replicate, with a consistent format, has been central to its success, says Kevin Allocca, YouTube trends manager. read more here...

 Although we see there are great success in this meme, but lately the meme that people mimic and create their own Harlem Shake version have caused people getting arrested, some of them lose their job because of Harlem Shake.

MINERS LOOSES JOB IN WEST AUSTRALIA BECAUSE OF HARLEM SHAKE 

A mere 30 seconds fun of dancing the Harlem Shake and creating the video has caused 15 miners lose their job in West Australia.

A group of workers from Barminco and Hahn Electrical Contracting were fired for their involvement in a re-enactment of the viral dance craze, the Harlem Shake. Read more: 

Barminco Staff have not only been fired but banned for life according to a dismissal.

Let us hear from the miners about the incident.

"It was 2.30 in the morning and we thought we just had to do something to get us going again," one unnamed worker said.

"Sometimes you lose a bit of momentum at that time of the morning." Read more....

Michigan high school suspends 30 students for Harlem Shake video on YouTube using live bird

  A suburban Detroit high school suspended 30 students for their Harlem Shake video which featured a live bird, the simulation of oral sex and a boy in a President Obama mask. 

Milford High School, in Oakland County’s Highland Township, took the drastic action because they said the boys lied to gain access to the classroom.

4 Egyptian Students Arrested After Making ‘Harlem Shake’ YouTube Video: ‘A Scandalous Act’

According to the Agence France-Presse:

Egyptian police said Saturday they have arrested four students who filmed themselves publicly dancing in their underwear, as more people around the world emulate a viral dance craze called the “Harlem Shake.” 

The four pharmaceutical students shocked residents of a middle class Cairo neighbourhood when they removed most of their clothes and videotaped themselves performing the pelvis-thrusting dance, a police official said.

The hostile audience tried to assault the students, who are accused of committing “a scandalous act,” the official added. Read more here...

From here, we see although we can mimic the viral video Harlem Shake and do it in your own version. There are several elements to take into consideration like from  the Michigan incident, there were sensitive elements like oral sex, and in Egypt we all know that Egypt has strict public indecency law. 
Be mind full when you mimic the meme Harlem Shake again.

If you enjoy reading this post, do share it out to your friend, leave me comments about what you think about the Harlem Shake video.

Why Invest in Australia ? EXCELLENT QUALITY OF LIFE

Yesterday we talk about Investor Visa, today I will walk you through Why invest in Australia? 

According to Australian Governement, Australian Trade Commission, Australia is one of the preferred investment destination because of: 

1. Growing Foreign Investment

2. Strong Economic Credential

3. Strategic Locations

4. Democratic and Politically stable

5. Business Friendly Regulatory Environment

6. Highly Skilled and Multilingual Workforce

7. Innovative culture with excellent R&D Infrastrature

8. Strong Sophisticated Financial services sector

9. Excellent Quality of Life

Let us further look at the excellent quality life in Australia

Talk about Quality of Life, it is found that Australia's quality of life was ranked 6th in the world out of 57 key economies, ahead of New Zealand, USA and UK. Another reason why Australia has a great extent of quality life is because of the level of access to healthcare professionals and services in Australia being among the highest of all. 

Australia's political and economic advantages are complemented by its welcoming attitude and excellent quality of life. In 2009, Australia’s quality of life was ranked 6th in the world out of 57 key economies, ahead of New Zealand, the USA and the UK (Source: IMD World Competitiveness Online 1995-2009, Worldwide Quality of Life Index 2009). 

Australia ranked second on the UNDP Human Development Index 2009, behind only Norway, and Australia's life expectancy (81 years) was the fifth highest in the world. The level of access to healthcare professionals and services in Australia is also amongst the highest in the world. 

Living the lifestyle

With one of the highest standards of living in the world, Australia offers a superb climate, a unique and beautiful environment, and quality social and cultural infrastructure.

Australian cities are regularly judged to be among the most liveable in the world across by a range of international surveys. In the Economist Intelligence Unit Liveability Ranking 2009, four of Australia's mainland capital cities were ranked in the top eight liveable cities in the world. While in Mercer Human Resource Consulting’s Quality of Living Survey 2008, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane were all among the top 31 cities in the world to live in, ahead of notable cities such as London, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo and New York.

Cost of Living Lower Than Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, London and Dubai

The cost of living in Australia's capital cities is also lower than in most other major capitals worldwide, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York City, Singapore, London, Los Angeles and Dubai (Source: Mercer Worldwide Cost of Living Sydney 2009).

Welcoming foreign investment

Australia's prosperity has been built on it being a great trading nation and an attractive and welcoming destination for foreign investment. Accordingly, the Australian Government actively encourages and supports foreign investment that is consistent with its national interest – regardless of source country – through a range of services and programs. In August 2009, the government announced legislative amendments aimed at simplifying and streamlining the screening process for foreign investment proposals.

Room to move

Australia has space in abundance. It is the sixth largest country in the world, but with one of the world’s lowest population densities at an average of only around three people per square kilometre.

Quality of Education contributes to Quality of Life

Education and training

The quality of Australia's education and training sector is internationally recognised. The country has well-designed private, state and federal-funded education systems offering high quality primary, secondary and tertiary education, and extensive vocational training, including specialised institutions for teaching English. Expatriate students at Australian schools can continue their schooling at US and European educational institutions without difficulty. 

Work Balanced Lifestyle

Australians not only work hard, they play hard. Their love of sports is famous. New facilities created for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, along with many other centres, provide options to view and participate in many sports.

Australians also love the outdoors. Australia has more than 7000 beaches stretching along thousands of kilometres of coastline, creating access to all water sports. Mountain ranges in Victoria and New South Wales offer a choice of snow sports and hundreds of state and national parks provide access to vast, pristine wilderness areas.

Culture

Australia supports a thriving national and local art, theatre, dance, film, opera and music scene which attracts many international performers and artists. Australian restaurants are creating an international reputation for their fresh and inviting menus.

The print and broadcast media is robust and lively, with about 1,200 lifestyle and other magazines – among the most per capita in the world – catering for all tastes.

A society to grow in

Living in Australia is to share in the culture of openness and a passion for getting the most out of life. Australian society encourages opportunity for all and gives everyone a ‘fair go’, while also fostering a strong spirit of competition.

Combined with all the other attributes on offer, Australia is not only a leading location for international companies but the destination of choice for their employees. Read more here....

All in all, we see the quality of life continues to grow in because of the culture of openness and passion for getting the most out of life. 

Quality Education, Work Life Balanced, and affordable cost of living contributes to the excellent quality of life in Australia.

Australia's 1000th number one hit goes to Harlem Shake

How did the video "Harlem Shake" when viral?

It all started with 5 bored teenagers from Sunshine Coast on February 2, 2013. The teenagers were  Corey Walsh, Jimmy Dale, Matt Stanyon, George Warrener and Oscar Mitchell. They did the dance Harlem Shake at the crowded small room. It went viral because it was interesting, it was abnormal, it was weird, the video was not too long, only 30 seconds.

Thomas Edison - "Our Greatest Weakness is Giving Up!"

Hey everyone!

How are you guys doing?
Once in a while I will be posting about word of wisdom to motivate you guys throughout the day.
I still remember one of my post was about afternoon quote where we the afternoon is not only the middle part of the day but it is part of the day we complete essential task and go ahead in life.
Today let us all learn from a well known person who invented one of the most important thing in life.
He is None Other than Thomas A Edison.
A brief introduction about Thomas A Edison adopted from Wikipedia.

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.^[1]

Edison is the fourth most prolific inventor in history, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures.

His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison developed a system of electric-power generation and distribution^[2] to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power stationwas on Pearl Street in Manhattan, New York.^{[2]  Read more here......}

Here is his Word's of Wisdom

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
Thomas A. Edison

I relate this when I was young. How true Thomas A Edison puts it.

When I was young, learning to ride my bicycle. Most of the time, i fall down but i rise up and learn riding it again. Just like Thomas A. Edison says the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Just like riding a bicycle, if at that time, i give up just because i fell, today I will not know how to ride it well.

Riding a bicycle involves balancing, coordinating, when to break, when to ride fast, when to ride slowly, how you sit, how you ride.

I  personally feel as we grow older, we experience the disease "giving up" more. It is in human nature that we will give up at a certain age. Just like some say, I can't do that because I am old already. Can you relate to it?

How good it is if all young and old, no matter how old we are that we can have our childlike faith that always have the can do attitude and the never give up attitude, we will be succeed today.

So start today, if you fall today, all you need to do is to get up and do it again. Thomas A Edison does not says do many times, but just one more time.

Just One More Time, do it again and again until we succeed.

Here's just a short post on how we including myself can learn to never give up and live life more amazingly by trying to do it just one more time.

Cheers Every Body

Most in Demand Jobs of 2013

Hey there everyone.

What are the jobs in Australia are the most in demand for year 2013?

Accountants, registered nurses and IT Mobility Developers are among the jobs in Australia that are the most in demand for the year 2013.

The latest Quarterly Report from recruitment firm Hays covering January to March 2013, shows that there are clear pockets of shortages for specific skills in a number of sectors including healthcare and IT.  
As more workers across Australia expect to be able to work from home for example, the demand for IT mobile specialists could quickly exceed the number of qualified job candidates. 
Based on the hiring plans of Hays’ clients over the next quarter, the report forecasts that the energy sector will also face fierce competition for skilled workers from the higher salaries on offer in the oil and gas industry. Read more here..

Skilled child care workers are another group that are in high demand.
Nick Deligiannis, Managing Director of Hays in Australia adds :

“Whilst these skills are in hot demand, employers remain cautious about hiring candidates that appear to have moved around too often and they are also being very specific with their requirements, being more demanding about core and soft skills,” Read more here....

Employers are more cautious about those who moved around too often and look at specific requirements being demanding also in the area of core and soft skills.

So what are employers in Australia looking at ?

“Employers want candidates with a proven and stable background, and some are willing to wait to find the exact match. In terms of long-term solutions some employers are interested in candidates that can take a step up to fill a role rather than have someone more senior take a step back.”  Read more here....

Employers  wants you to have a proven and stable background and willing to wait the exact match.

If you are skilled in any areas like accounting, or an IT Professional.

Do consider migration programs in Australia.

What job pays the highest Weekly Wages in Australia?

Hi there people, hope you had a great weekend last week. 

So let me walk you through what job pays the highest weekly wages in Australia?

Anyone would like to take a guess?

It is the Mining job in Australia that pays the highest weekly wages. 

The mining industry in Australia pays the highest wages in the country, according to the latest figures published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The ABS Employee Earnings and Hours Report, which is published every two years, showed that average take home weekly earnings in the industry was $2,388.20 as of May 2012 and the average hourly rate in the sector was $52.30. (australiaforum.com) 

Mike Scott ABS director of labour employer surveys said that - 63% of full time adult non-managerial employees earned weekly total cash earnings of more than $2,000 per week in the mining industry. (australiaforum.com) 

What job pays the lowest weekly wages? 

The lowest weekly earnings are reported for people working in the accommodation and food services industry at $538.80, sales workers at $607, community and personal service workers at $707, and labourers at $779.   (australiaforum.com) 

It is t he accommodation and food services industry as well as community service and personal service workers earns the lowest weekly earnings in Australia. 

Western Australian has the highest wages in the country followed by Australian Capital Territory. 

Looking at the average weekly wages in Western Australia, a full time worker earn average $1328 as high as $1634. But there is always a catch to it. Earning high wages means long working hours. Mining being the highest paid job in Australia too become the top list of longest working hour job.

Due to its large proportion of mining, Western Australia has the highest wages in the country, followed by the Australian Capital Territory. The average weekly pay for all workers in Western Australia is $1,328, climbing as high as $1,634 per week for full time workers, or almost $85,000 per year. However, earning high wages in this sector means working long hours. The mining industry topped the list of the longest average work week, in particular full time machinery operators and drivers, with an average of 43.7 hours compared with the national average of 33 hours a week. (australiaforum.com) 

Anyone would like to Guess who is the Richest Person in Australia?

It is Mining Magnate Gina Rinehart remains Australia’s richest person, according to the latest Forbes Rich List, with an empire worth $16 billion. Overall the number of Australian billionaires rose by three to 23 in 2012. (australiaforum.com)

India Migrate to Australia 4000 years ago - Dingo, microlith

Hello and hi there people,

Good afternoon, it is 3pm in Malaysia.

Anyway just found this article interesting perhaps you will enjoy reading it.

This article was adopted from BBC News UK.

Posted yesterday by Rebecca Morelle, Science Reporter, BBC world Service. 

A genetic study suggests that Australia experience a wave of migration from India about 4000 years ago. 


The continent of Australia were isolated 40,000 years ago after the first humans arrived.

It was thought the continent had been largely isolated after the first humans arrived about 40,000 years ago until the Europeans moved in in the 1800s.But DNA from Aboriginal Australians revealed there had been some movement from India during this period. Read more here...

Researchers believe the Indian migrants might have introduced dingo to Australia and also microliths stone tool.

The researchers believe the Indian migrants may have introduced the dingo to Australia.In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they say that the fossil record suggests the wild dogs arrived in Australia at around the same time.They also suggest that Indians may have brought stone tools called microliths to their new home. Read more here...

Let see what Prof Mark says about the Indian Migration.

 Prof Mark Stoneking, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany said that 

""For a long time, it has been commonly assumed that following the initial colonization, Australia was largely isolated as there wasn't much evidence of further contact with the outside world," Read more here...Read more here...

How did they do it? What methodology were used?

To study the early origins of Australia's population, the team compared genetic material from Aboriginal Australians with DNA from people in New Guinea, South East Asia and India.
By looking at specific locations, called genetic markers, within the DNA sequences, the researchers were able to track the genes to see who was most closely related to whom.
They found an ancient genetic association between New Guineans and Australians, which dates to about 35,000 to 45,000 years ago. At that time, Australia and New Guinea were a single land mass, called Sahul, and this tallies with the period when the first humans arrived.Read more here...Continue reading the main story

Genetic Material from Aboriginal Australians with DNA from people in New Guinea, South East Asia and India were use. It is by looking at specific locations called genetic makers within the DNA sequences, researchers were able to track the genes to see who was most closely related to whom.

Prof Stoneking said: "We have a pretty clear signal from looking at a large number of genetic markers from all across the genome that there was contact between India and Australia somewhere around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago."  

Prof Stoneking said: "We don't have direct evidence of any connection, but it strongly suggestive that microliths, dingo and the movement of people were all connected."Read more here... 

Dingo, microliths and the movement suggested that India Migrated Australia 4000 years ago.

Latest Update - Food Price in Australia is going down

Hi there everyone wishing you a good start today!!!

What are some of the latest news about Australia?

As the title says Food Price in Australia is going down. 

Let look at what News Limited Analysis of OECD reveals about food price going down. 

After unrivalled increases, local food costs declined by 2.7 per cent in the 12 months to the end of September, News Limited analysis of OECD data reveals. Read more here...

What did Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development spokesman Lawrence Speer says about it :

 "We can confirm that Australia had the biggest price decline of food prices in the recent past," Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development spokesman Lawrence Speer said. Read more here: http://www.news.com.au/money/cost-of-living/food-prices-in-australia-go-down-across-the-board/story-fnagkbpv-1226548530083#ixzz2HHOwlbBa

The rest of the news are as follow quoted from the australian news. 

Some of this most recent drop is due to fruit prices normalising after the effects of the Queensland floods of late 2010 and early 2011, the Victorian floods of January 2011 and Cyclone Yasi in February 2011.

However, the OECD data also shows that there is a broader and more sustained trend at work.

Since the end of 2009, Australian food prices have remained contained when compared to similar nations such as Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US.

Between 2000 and 2009, Australians had endured the fastest-rising food prices among major developed nations.

Two of the significant factors in the turnaround, according to University of Queensland economics professor John Quiggin, have been the end of the drought - increasing supply - and the strong Australian dollar, which has helped to limit the cost of globally traded food ingredients such as wheat.

"The appreciation of the dollar pushes down the prices of commodities, which pushes down the price for Australian consumers," Professor Quiggin said.

Choice spokeswoman Ingrid Just said there was a "misconception" that food bills were still rising.

"Consumers may be quite surprised to see these results given that the overall cost of living feels like it has really increased," Ms Just said.

A recent national poll by Lonergan found more than three-quarters of respondents believed costs were rising faster than the official overall inflation rate of 2 per cent. Among these people, two-thirds of men and four out of five women mistakenly believed food prices had risen more than 2 per cent over the past year.

The costs that are actually rising fast are rents, rates, electricity, gas, healthcare and education expenses, Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows.

At the supermarket, shoppers have been saving $100 million a month on food, new research by Deloitte Access Economics claims.

The Deloitte report, commissioned by Coles, said that across the entire supermarket sector the "overall saving in food could in fact be worth $1.8 billion or more over the 18-month period" to end of June 2012.

Deloitte cited causes including increased competition between Coles and Woolworths as well as the entry of players such as Costco and before them, Aldi.

There may be more savings to come. Woolworths' general manager of fresh food Pat McEntee said that following excellent seasons in "almost all regions", shoppers would soon benefit from additional price reductions.

"We will start to see some further deflation in fruit and vegetables, which is great for the customer," Mr McEntee said. Currently Woolworths' average measure of fruit and vegetable prices is one per cent lower than this time last year. Read more here:
