Fishermen Dont Know the Difference Between Copper and Fiber Optic
clipped by: shaine
clippers remarks: This is actually a big problem everywhere. Thiefs are going to construction sites to raid copper. Air conditioning units are being taken. Locally, AT&T had to replace a big chunk of phone cable they left exposed overnight. People are getting electocuted trying to steel live wires. All kinds of mayhem is occurring due to the high price of copper.
the high price of copper is leading to crime around the world as people are looking to steal anything copper and sell it.
the Vietnamese government thought it would make sense to allow local fisherman to grab old Vietnam War-era undersea cable lines and resell it for profit.
27 miles of fiber optics have gone missing, and its going to cost many millions to replace.
the allowance to fish up copper lines has now been rescinded

US Veterans High Suicide Risk
clipped by: nohobot
 Vietnam war veterans were included in the survey |
Men who were white, better educated and older than the other men appeared to be at higher risk, as did those with a physical or emotional disability.
The research, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, included men who had served in World War Two, the Vietnam war, the Korean War and the Gulf war.
It said the rate of suicide among men who had taken military service was 2.13 times higher than those who had never served in the armed forces.
War veterans were also twice as likely to use a firearm to kill themselves, it said.
Disabled veterans, or those who had experienced emotional or psychological trauma during their service were identified as the highest risk group.
Interestingly, overweight veterans were less likely to have committed suicide than those of normal weight, the study found.
