Safety fears at Olympic Village A construction union has warned that extra vigilance is needed at the Olympics 2012 site, after discovering workers building the Olympic Village which will house competitors are more than twice as likely to suffer a serious injury as those on the main Olympics 2012 park. UCATT says the rush to complete the facilities on time must not lead to excessive hours and corner-cutting. The main construction phase of the Olympic facilities is due to conclude this summer. The union says 'in recent weeks there has been growing reports of workers working excessive hours on the Olympics, especially on the Olympic Village.' It adds that despite the Olympic Village 'being a much simpler construction project' it has an Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) of '0.24 for every million man hours worked, compared to an AFR of 0.11 on the Olympic Park.' Alan Ritchie, general secretary of UCATT, said: 'It is essential that everyone involved in the Olympics ...

Giving Then said a rich man, "Speak to us of Giving." And he answered: You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow?

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who...

And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, tha...
