Types of employment

Full-time employment
Full-time employment is regular and ongoing work. Full-time employees generally work 38 or 40 hours a week.

Part-time employment
Part-time employment is also regular and ongoing. Part-time employees work fewer hours each week than full-time employees. Some awards and agreements may specify a minimum or maximum number of hours a part-time employee can work.

Part-time employment may be an appropriate option when there is regular work that is not enough for full-time employment, for example, when there are regular peaks and troughs in the weekly or daily workload.

Part-time employment also allows employers to provide for job sharing and to accommodate employees who wish to work fewer hours due to family responsibilities or other commitments such as study.

The most dangerous job in the world

Child Labour

A girl working in the reconstruction effort carries a tile on her head in the city of Choluteca, Honduras.
An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour - one in six children in the world. Millions of children are engaged in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes,

labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.
In Sub-Saharan Africa around one in three children are engaged in child labour, representing 69 million children.
In South Asia, another 44 million are engaged in child labour.
The latest national estimates for this indicator are reported in Table 9 (Child Protection) of UNICEF's annual publication The State of the World's Children.
Children living in the poorest households and in rural areas are most likely to be engaged in child labour. Those burdened with household chores are overwhelmingly girls. Millions of girls who work as domestic servants are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
Labour often interferes with children’s education. Ensuring that all children go to school and that their education is of good quality are keys topreventing child labour.

The influence of technology on the human mind

These days, as more and more people speak about the emerging Information Society, we should think again how to prepare the society for the changes in the style of human life. No doubts that so-called Information Society has many advantages, for example in trade, production, services, communication etc. Unfortunately, it also has many potential risks that shouldn't be ignored. Some high level experts believe that improper use of technology could, in specific circumstances, cause the elimination of these advantages. From this point of view, the influence of technologies on the human mind is considered as the most hazardous factor. Increasing the use of technology instead of face to face communication could have negative influence on the human mind. It is most important to investigate this influence in the sphere of education, where the effects of these factors could be fatal. And vice versa. The appropriate use of technology could have a significant benefit for the whole society. That's why professionals in well-developed countries, which are on the edge of the Information society, start to pay more attention to these problems. But not only professionals. Even general public, media and politicians consider these matters very important. I am sure we should also pay more attention to it. In order to gain some basic orientation in this field, we will take a small excursion into some branches of science that may have certain connection to the impact of technology in education.

The Best Job in the World Winner

So I posted about, the best job in the world, and because I everyone was so curius about it, I decided to post about the job winner.

(CNN) -- A British man beat 34,000 other applicants Wednesday to win, what has been dubbed, "the best job in the world" -- to stroll the white sands of a tropical island in Queensland, Australia, file weekly reports online to a global audience and earn a cool $100,000.
Ben Southall will move into a three-bedroom beach home overlooking the Great Barrier Reef.
For the winner, Ben Southall, the six-month assignment is a far cry from his old job as a fundraiser. "I love discovering new places," Southall said in his hyperkinetic minute-long application video for the position. "Last year, I drove all around Africa, I crossed deserts, climbed mountains, run marathons, bungee jump, mountain-bike, scuba-dive and snorkel everywhere because I'm practically a fish myself." Oh, and he rode an ostrich. He will move into a three-bedroom beach home overlooking the tropical island's Great Barrier Reef. For six months, he will feed the fish, clean the pool and send weekly blog and video reports on what is happening on the island. Other benefits include free return airfares from their nearest capital city, transport on the island, computer and camera gear and travel to other islands.

Most dangerous job of the world

Real crab and Snow crab fishing is the most dangerous job on the world, according to experts and statistics of death at work. Crab fishing is realized every years between October ad January, extreme temperatures and billowy sea are factors that make these profession so difficult and danger.

"The main cause of loss of life is typically the loss of the boat," said Jeremy Turner, a fishing expert at FAO.

"When you lose a boat, you lose a large number if not all of the crew. Other reasons are collisions and explosions." Turner said that the reduction of crews to cut costs, lack of training, bad weather and fatigue also play a role, in a scenario that sees "just too many boats.""When you fish like that, safety goes out of the window," he said. Turner said that some of the most dangerous fisheries are located in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea.

Fishing and aquaculture supplied the world with about 110 million tons of fish in 2006, the FAO report said. Top producing countries are China, Peru and the United States. The FAO report also warned of the perils of overfishing saying that about a half of major commercial fishing areas that it monitors are fished to their limits, and a fifth are overexploited.
A separate report issued Monday by conservation group Oceana said that predators such as bluefin tuna, dolphins and whales are suffering from lack of food as well as disease and fertility problems because of overfishing of their prey.
