Hot Bunking at Site Installation Facilities and the Chinese Way of ...
Careless investors are placing orders to those FarEast companies just because they are too cheap. Not only Western companies, but also our own construction companies are not in competition with those low prices. Chinese companies are constructing three CFB based thermal power plants in the local market where they bring 500+ qualified labour to the each site for civil works and site installation activities. Our local laws and regulations don't prohibit them to bring such large scale labour inflow. "Hot Bunking" is an untold but almost always general practise in their site facilities. Other than that, our local investors don't care about quality/ performance/ efficiency of the final product they are purchasing, all they care about the cheapest price.
Katie Scarvey column: Happiness as a science?
In the decade of 1995 to 2005, the Danes came in at a buoyant 8.2 on a 10-point happiness scale. Tanzanians were the gloomiest, at 3.2. The U.S. came in at 7.4. Having lived in Italy, I was surprised to find that Americans are happier than Italians (6.9), but I think the Italian postal service pretty much explains that. Living in a cold, dark place doesn't necessarily correlate with unhappiness. Icelanders are happier than most of us, probably because of their strong social connections. A recent study suggests that people are happiest at the beginning and end of their lives and least happy in middle age. Women are unhappiest around 40; men at 50. Good news for me. In my mid-40s, I am climbing out of the Slough of Despond. Bad news for my husband who, if the research is true, is on his way to becoming Eeyore in few years.
