Not something we'd usually see every day, but today, there were 5 fire emergencies happening in Brisbane area that kept firemen so busy.
...A quarter of the Carindale PCYC building at Narracott St, Carina, has been damaged after a fire struck the building this afternoon... ...A large bushfire was burning on the corner of Creek and Wynnum Rds at Cannon Hill, with embers from the fire flying onto the roofs of nearby houses... ...a major fire was burning at Springfield Lakes, on the corner of Grande Ave and Greenbank Arterial Rd... Fire crews are on their way to another fire which has broken out at a house in Karragarra Island near Redland Bay...
The fire crews however, worried that the hut may have been chemicals in the buildings at the Redland Bay location. Apparently no people were hurt during these fire incidents, and several of them might be caused by the dry and windy weather which triggers bushfire.
Rudd not foreseeing himself as PM in the near future [Courier Mail]
"No." He said as he was asked by the media whether he will be the next Prime Minister of Australia, and apparently he is not very looking forward to be PM again in a short time. He was first being pushed away by Julia Gillard back in June last year, and since then, he was taking some millions of travelling across the globe as a foreign affairs minister. Poor Rudd, I actually like him a lot, as he can speak Mandarin better than I do.
The question was a double-barrelled one at the end of Mr Rudd's speech to the Asia Foundation, asking: "Do you foresee yourself stepping back into the role of Prime Minister and will the Wallabies win the World Cup?" He replied: "Let me take those in the reverse order: Yes and no."
Gallery: Sleepbox, a design that lets people to sleep when layover [Gizmodo]
Look at this smart design that aims to minimise the scene of travellers sleeping in airports when their flights were cancelled or delayed. It is a very dilemmatic situation as a traveller - No hotel rooms for a night's stay, yet stranded in the airport and you've virtually no choice but to stay in airport. But fret not! The Sleepbox will save the day!
we have developed a device SLEEPBOX. It provides moments of quiet sleep and rest from the city without wasting time searching for a hotel... ...Thanks to SLEEPBOX any person has an opportunity to spend the night safely and cheaply in case of emergency, or when you have to spend few hours with your baggage.
