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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
