los bomberos en Chile no quieren que les paguen

Pero por ms riesgoso que pueda parecer atender ese tipo de situaciones, los bomberos en Chile son voluntarios. Es decir, ninguno percibe un salario por su labor.

Y cuando la promotora de Naciones Unidas para el programa de ciudades resilientes Susana Fuentez sugiri esta semana que comiencen a ser remunerados, los primeros en descartarlo fueron los propios bomberos.

"No necesitamos un sueldo", dijo Sergio Albornoz, de la Junta Nacional de Bomberos, en la red Chilevisin este martes.

Pero, por qu?

"Romanticismo"En Chile, hay unos 40.000 bomberos; 25.000 de ellos activos y los dems en funciones diferentes debido a su edad.

A menudo aluden a su labor como una misin voluntaria convocada por los fundadores de cuerpos de bomberos como el de Valparaso, creado en 1851 y considerado el primero de Sudamrica.

"Existe una tradicin que es una especie de romanticismo",van cleef gold clover necklace replica, sostiene Juan Enrique Julio, superintendente del Cuerpo de Bomberos de Santiago, en dilogo con BBC Mundo.

Julio tiene 65 aos y lleva 47 en los bomberos. En ese tiempo se gan la vida en el sistema financiero, trabajando en bancos y compaas de fondos mutuos.

Ahora est jubilado, pero mantiene asesoras personales.

Cuando usted desarrolla cualquier actividad porque ama esa actividad y no porque tiene que ganarse la vida a travs de ella, sin duda va a hacerlo mucho mejorJuan Enrique Julio, bombero voluntario

Dice que su trabajo pago no siempre fue totalmente compatible con el de bombero y a veces debi realizar turnos nocturnos de 12 horas en los cuarteles para cumplir con ambos compromisos.

Pero pese a ser alguien con tanta experiencia en cuestiones de dinero, Julio tampoco ve con buenos ojos la idea de que los bomberos chilenos comiencen a cobrar un salario para tener dedicacin plena.

"Si nosotros nos dedicramos rentadamente a ser bomberos las 24 horas del da, le garantizo que no lo haramos tan bien como ahora",van cleef necklace pink replica, seala.

"Cuando usted desarrolla cualquier actividad porque ama esa actividad y no porque tiene que ganarse la vida a travs de ella, sin duda va a hacerlo mucho mejor", argumenta.

"Sacarse el sombrero"Los bomberos sin salario estn lejos de ser un fenmeno exclusivo de Chile.

Carlos Ferlise, presidente de la Organizacin de Bomberos Americanos, estima que los voluntarios en todo el continente llegan a cuatro millones, de los cuales 1,5 millones viven en Estados Unidos.

Agrega que en varios pases de la regin, incluida su propia Argentina, 85% del personal de bomberos es voluntario y en algunos ms del 90%.

Lo mismo ocurre en otras partes del mundo, de acuerdo a un informe de 2003 de la Organizacin Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) sobre los servicios pblicos de urgencia.

Segn el estudio, en Australia los voluntarios suponan el 95% de los bomberos y en Alemania haba 1,van cleef black clover necklace replica,3 millones de bomberos voluntarios en 1992 contra 34 mil profesionales.

Aunque en Chile el sistema funcione totalmente sobre la base del voluntariado, muchos destacan la capacidad de los bomberos de ese pas para enfrentar urgencias como la de Valparaso.

"Los bomberos de Chile tienen una preparacin en este tipo de incendios, en tsunamis y terremotos, que es una de las mejores del continente", afirma Ferlise, que tambin preside el Consejo Nacional de Bomberos Voluntarios de Argentina.

"Hay que sacarse el sombrero",van cleef turquoise alhambra necklace replica, aade.

"El tarrito"De cualquier modo, los bomberos chilenos s reclaman ms apoyo estatal para mejorar sus equipos, por ejemplo renovando carros bomba que circulan hasta 15 aos despus de cumplir su vida til.

Los aportes del Estado chileno alcanzan para cubrir cerca de 55% de los gastos operacionales de los 312 cuerpos de bomberos del pas, indic Miguel Reyes, presidente de Bomberos de Chile.

En declaraciones al diario La Tercera publicadas este martes, Reyes agreg que los recursos que faltan los obtienen con subvenciones municipales, la venta de rifas y bingos, u otras actividades.

Y sugiri que esto puede dar lugar a manejos oscuros.

"Las limosnas y el tarrio no me gusta como sistema, porque lo encuentro poco transparente, no llega toda la cantidad de recursos que se depositan en esos tarros", indic.

Luke Shaw 'a long way behind' Manchester United team,van cleef rose gold knock off bracelet

Luke Shaw is "a long way behind" his Manchester United team mates in terms of focus and ambition, says Jose Mourinho.

Shaw has made just two United appearances in the last four months and, on Saturday, was not even selected for the bench against West Brom at Old Trafford,van cleef and arpels fake bracelet, despite a depleted squad due to a string of injuries.

Mourinho decided to name Matthew Willock in the United squad ahead of Shaw, who suffered a dreadful double leg break in September 2015 when Louis van Gaal was the Red Devils' manager.

And LvG's successor Mourinho said: "It's difficult for him to be on the bench. Because I cannot compare him with Ashley Young, or with Matteo Darmian, or with Daley Blind.

"I cannot compare the way he trains, the way he commits, the focus, the ambition. I cannot compare. He is a long way behind."

Shaw's last appearance came a month ago against Bournemouth,van cleef and arpels replica bracelets, when it was alleged Mourinho was angered by the 21 year old defender speaking to an opposition player at half time.

Relations have been frosty ever since and, despite doing extra sessions at home on top of United training, the future looks gloomy for Shaw,bracelet replica van cleef and arpels, who became the world's most expensive teenager when he left Southampton for Old Trafford in 2014.

Mourinho has also criticised other United youngsters, such as Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial.

Jose Mourinho was not happy with United's performance against West Brom on Saturday

He added: "I try, I give chances. I give chances, I try. Play again. Play again. Come on. Keep going. You have talent.

"They know they have talent. Okay, let's go. Let's try. Let's have one more opportunity. No pressure. Keep going, keep going, keep going. There is nothing else we can do."

Erik Gudbranson trudged off the ice at Air Canada Centre last month furious at what had just happened.

His Vancouver Canucks were embarrassed 6 3 by the Toronto Maple Leafs on the scoreboard in the eighth defeat of what would turn into a nine game losing streak

That was only part of the reason for his seething anger,van cleef and arpels replica bracelets.

It really started when veteran teammates Jannik Hansen and Daniel Sedin were felled by crushing, and in the case of the latter, controversial hits from Morgan Rielly and Nazem Kadri in quick succession that infuriated the Canucks.

There were also spears, fights and slashes on both sides in a wild third period before Toronto's Matt Martin started pummelling rookie Troy Stecher an exchange that prompted Vancouver goalie Ryan Miller to jump in against the bruising winger.

Line brawl capped off last meeting

A full line brawl ensued as the teams combined for 171 penalty minutes on the night, including 157 in the third alone. Miller and Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen,van cleef knock off bracelet, who skated the length of the ice to join the fray, were both tossed.

After the game Gudbranson made a point of yelling in the vicinity of reporters outside the locker rooms that: "Matt Martin's dead."

The Canucks got a call from the league about those comments, and both teams did their best to cool the temperature of the rivalry, at least publicly, ahead of Saturday's rematch at Rogers Arena.

"I was just pissed off," said Gudbranson. "I think everybody can relate to the moment that I had at that time."

But the Vancouver hockey market is acutely sensitive to this type of exchange after former Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi checked Colorado Avalanche counterpart Steve Moore to the ice in 2004. Moore sustained a concussion and three fractured vertebrae as a result of the incident, ending his playing career. Bertuzzi eventually pleaded guilty to criminal assault causing bodily harm.

Moore's lawsuit against Bertuzzi and the Canucks, which was settled shortly before trial in 2014, alleged Vancouver put a bounty on him after his check injured captain Markus Naslund in a game earlier that season.

Gudbranson will not follow through on threats

Gudbranson said Friday he has never had any intention of following through on the threats he shouted back on Nov,bracelet fake van cleef and arpels. 5.

"It was kind of a fit of rage that I had," said the hulking defenceman. "I understand that it was wrong, but the number of times that I've said that is probably higher than most people expect. Do I mean it? No. That's the honest truth. I'm not going to kill the guy. But I was just frustrated at that point.

No more Walkie Scorchie! London skyscraper which melted cars by reflecting sunlight is fitted with shading

The concave design of 20 Fenchurch Street is thought to have caused sun to shine directly onto street belowThe 525ft tall building has been fitted with a permanent solution the 'brise soleil' sunshade to deflect sunshineSeveral motorists had reported problem after parking car near the Walkie Talkie nicknamed Walkie ScorchieJoint developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf investigated and suspended parking before installing shadeBy

The concave design and mirrored glass of 20 Fenchurch Street,van cleef bijoux replique, which is more commonly known as the Walkie Talkie due to its distinctive shape, had caused the sun to shine powerful, focused rays of light onto the street below.

But workers have fitted the 37 storey building, which has been nicknamed as the 'Walkie Scorchie' by those who work nearby, with a 'sunshade' to deflect the rays.

WHAT IS A BRISE SOLELI? It is an architectural feature which reduces heat gain by deflecting sunlight.

They can range from patterned concrete walls to a wing like mechanism,imitation van cleef and arpel.

It is usually a horizontal projection extending from the sunside facade of a building.

Nearby shops were also damaged by the intense sun rays.

One shopkeeper said the glare caused his doormat to start smoking and scorched a lemon, another said it blistered paint and one journalist even managed to fry an egg with the startlingly bright rays.

Ali Akay, of Re Style barber's, said the position of the sun at a certain time of the day caused a searing bolt of sunlight to start a small fire and burn a hole in his company doormat.

He said: 'We were working and just saw the smoke coming out of the carpet. We tried to cut the fire down, there were customers in at the time and they were obviously not happy.

'Customers are not going to come in if there is a fire in the front of the door.'

Joint developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf investigated and as a precautionary measure suspended parking in three bays in the area.

It also installed a temporary screen before a permanent cover was installed this year known as a 'brise soleil' sunshade.

The developer, which reportedly paid out 1,000 in compensation,van cleef arpel replique, said: 'It will not interfere with the customer fit out or occupation. The cost involved has not altered our original estimated total cost of the building.'

How an obscure seed is helping to save the elephant

Onno Heerma van Voss jokes that he never intended to be a conservationist, but he is helping to save the African elephant.

Numbers of elephants in the wild are still falling; it's estimated 100 of them are killed by poachers every day for their tusks to meet the continuing demand for ivory.

There are now only around 415,000 African elephants across the continent, down from as many as five million a century ago, according to global campaign group WWF (formerly known as the World Wide Fund for Nature).

While the worldwide sale of new ivory was outlawed in 1989, the animals are still being slaughtered to fuel an illegal trade led by continuing demand in China.

So what exactly is Mr Heerma van Voss, a 48 year old Dutchman, doing to help protect the African elephant? He sells seeds.

Yes, you read that correctly, but these aren't any old seeds, they are instead rather special ones from South America called tagua.

They are the off white coloured seeds of six species of palm trees. They can reach up to 9cm (3.5 inches) in length and when dried become very hard indeed. So hard in fact that they are also known as "vegetable ivory".

And like ivory, tagua can be polished and carved, and turned into ornate carvings or jewellery.

From his base in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, Mr Heerma van Voss's company Naya Nayon has been exporting tagua for 16 years, and he says that sales are booming.

He now sells to 70 countries, including China, Japan and Singapore, as tagua grows in popularity as an alternative to ivory.

And with China pledging to end its domestic trade in elephant tusks by the end of this year, Mr van Voss is hopeful that demand is going to jump even further.

Elephant plantUsing tagua as a substitute for ivory is nothing new. Indeed exports to Europe began in the 19th Century in order to meet the demand for an ivory like raw material. This was used to produce ornamental items such as buttons, chess pieces,imitation van cleef bijoux, and decorative handles for canes.

In fact, the scientific name for the six species of palm trees that produce tagua is Phytelephas, which means elephant plant, a nod to the ivory like quality of the seeds.

Mr Heerma van Voss now sells $200,van cleef homme replique,000 (160,000) worth of tagua per year that he buys from farmers. He and his four members of staff dry and slice the seeds ready to be turned into jewellery, with France being his largest market.

The sliced tagua typically retails for $30 a kg,van cleef and arpels bijoux replique, while the raw seeds sell for $6 a kg. By contrast, a kilogramme of ivory is worth as much as $1,100 in China.

While Mr Heerma van Voss is preparing for a big upturn in exports to China, tagua does face two hurdles in the country.

Firstly, even the longest tagua seeds are much shorter than the average elephant tusk, which limits the size of the ornaments that can be made from the material. And secondly, it lacks ivory's exclusivity.

Hongxiang Huang, a Chinese journalist and anti ivory campaigner, explains: "As people become wealthier they want to buy luxury items, and ivory is one of the many things that people desire. This is the situation in China."

Hairy taleFor buyers wanting an alternative to elephant ivory that still comes from a mammal but is ethically sourced, the answer comes from under the frozen Siberian tundra in the north east of Russia.

It may sound bizarre, but the tusks from woolly mammoths that died tens of thousands of years ago are mined on a regular basis. While official figures are not available, an estimated 60 tonnes of mammoth ivory is harvested each year.

Mammoth ivory sold for an average $350 a kg in 2014, according to the charity Save the Elephants. This is about a third of the price of elephant ivory, but giant mammoth tusks in good condition can fetch far more.

John Frederick Walker, an expert on ivory, says: "Master carvers tend to prefer elephant ivory because fresh elephant ivory is easier to carve.

"But in fact, you can make wonderful things from mammoth ivory."

Yet with tagua far easier to get hold of than mammoth ivory, and considerably cheaper, it is the South American seeds that is increasingly being used by jewellers, and not the Siberian tusks.

Marion Andron is co owner of French jewellers Nodova, which sold more than 300,000 euros ($320,000; 256,000) of tagua jewellery last year.

Ms Andron, 27, travels to Ecuador twice a year to oversee the production of the tagua that is done by seven local women at a cooperative.

While Nodova's largest markets are France and the UK, it sells to stores across Asia and Ms Andron says that the forthcoming blanket ban on ivory sales in China offers a huge opportunity.

"I think tagua has helped diminish the demand for animal ivory,imitation arpel et van cleef, and I honestly don't think someone today can be ignorant about the slaughter of elephants with all the media coverage," she says.

Last nail not yet in Belgium's coffin

GHENT, Belgium (Reuters) David Goffin believes Belgium can still win the Davis Cup for the first time even though the hosts will go into Sunday's final day against Britain needing to win both remaining singles.

The 24 year old teamed up with doubles partner Steve Darcis on Saturday, losing to Andy and Jamie Murray in four sets to leave Belgium trailing 2 1.

Unless Goffin beats world number two Andy Murray in Sunday's opening singles the tie will be over, and few outside Belgium's most optimistic fans fancy his chances.

"I'm still confident," Goffin told reporters. "I'm feeling good with my groundstrokes and everything is okay for tomorrow.

"I'm ready to give everything."

The world number 16 has never managed to win a set off Murray and three weeks ago at the Paris Masters he was spanked 6 1 6 0,van cleef & arpels replique.

Goffin also began horribly against British debutant Kyle Edmund on Friday, losing the first two sets 6 3 6 1 before recovering to win in five.

Murray,imitation van cleefs and arpels, on the other hand, has been unbeatable in the Davis Cup this year, winning seven singles and three doubles, as Britain closes in on a first title for 79 years.

"Physically I'm feeling good. I played five sets yesterday and four sets today," said Goffin.

"I think it's not a problem if I have to play five sets tomorrow. I will be ready."

Goffin has never played Murray on clay and believes the surface in the Flanders Expo can help him while captain Johan van Herck says his team will fight to the end.

"It's a difficult day tomorrow but as a team we have to believe, we have to stand up,imitation van cleef and arpels bijoux, we have to fight," added van Herck.

"Not a lot of people gave us a chance to win against Argentina in the semis and we did it so now tomorrow there's a huge task ahead of us.

"I think for every tennis player it's a position he wants to be in. We're going to show tomorrow that we're a strong group, we're a strong team,imitation van cleef arpels pour homme, and we're going to try to solve this together. We're all going to be ready to fight again," said van Herck.

Dog poop not banned from Metro Vancouver garbage bins
