Search for collapse survivors ends in Mumbai

After a building collapse Thursday that killed 72 people in Mumbai, India, the search for survivors has ended. The effort to find survivors had been underway for 42 hours.

Authorities announced that the search for survivors had ended on Saturday, with the current death toll at 72 people from one of the worse building collapses in India in several years. Several of those killed were children, and nearly 40 more people are being treated at the hospital.
Police officials said that 62 people had been pulled alive from the rubble of the under-construction residential building in the Thane district in Mumbai. A nine-month-old girl was among those rescued.
"The building was an unauthorized construction," Sandeep Malwi, spokesman for the Thane municipal corporation, told the AFP news agency. "We are going to investigate thoroughly into this and prepare a report."
Regulations ignored?
The builders may have additionally ignored regulations, according to The Hindustan Times. "Seven floors were built in merely three to four months," the paper quoted the local head of the disaster management cell as saying. "It was bound to collapse due to the inferior construction material used by the builders."
Most of the victims had come to Mumbai to work on building sites, earning as little as a few hundred rupees (about $6 or 4.60 euros) a day. Many of their families lived onsite as well.
In 2010, a similar collapse in New Delhi killed 69 people and injured more than 80, trapping families in the lower floors. Structures that are not built to code are relatively common in India, where new housing facilities are in high demand.

Ajali ya meli Zanzibar: Mamia wafariki

Watu wasiopungua 187 wamekufa baada ya meli iliyokuwa imezidisha mizigo kuzama katika pwani ya kisiwa cha Zanzibar ikiwa na watu takriban 800.

Msemaji wa serikali amesema watu 620 walionusurika wameokolewa. Serikali imetangaza siku tatu za maombolezo.
Inadhaniwa kuwa meli hiyo ilizama baada ya injini yake kukosa nguvu.
Shughuli za uokoaji zilikwazwa kwa kuwa meli hiyo ilizama usiku.

Meli iliyozama

Zaidi ya watu 100 bado hawajulikani walipo, lakini watu 325 walionusurika wameokolewa, kwa mujibu wa waziri wa masuala ya dharura wa Zanzibar.
Meli hiyo, MV Spice Islander ilikuwa ikisafiri kati ya Kisiwa kikuu cha Unguja kuelekea Pemba.
Meli hiyo ilikuwa ikirejesha watu baada ya kumalizika kwa mfungo wa Ramadhani.

Msaada

Mamlaka za huko zimezidiwa na tukio hilo na zimeomba msaada kutoka nje.
Serikali ya Zanzibar imeunda kituo cha uokoaji na kutoa wito kwa taasisi zote kusaidia katika shughuli za uokozi. Serikali hiyo pia imeomba msaada kutoka nchi nyingine za nje, kama vile Kenya na Afrika Kusini.
Walionusurika walichukuliwa na boti za kibinafsi na kupelekwa katika bandari ya Zanzibar, amekaririwa kamishna wa polisi wa Zanzibar Mussa Hamis.

Watu walionusurika wakipelekwa hospitali

Miili ya watu imekuwa ikisukumwa katika pwani ya Zanzibar na mawimbi. Mpaka sasa miili ya watu 100 wamepatikana, amesema mwandishi wa BBC Ali Saleh akiwa Zanzibar.
Maelfu ya ndugu na jamaa wanasubiri kusikia taarifa za ndugu zao ambao walikuwa ndani ya meli hiyo, anasema mwandishi wetu.
Mohhamed Aboud, waziri wa masuala ya dharura wa Zanzibar anasema watu 259 walionusurika wameokolewa lakini 40 kati yao wamejeruhiwa sana.

Boti yetu imechelewa kwa sababu wanatumia vyombo vyote vya baharini kuokoa watu

Catherine Purvis

Catherine Purvis, mtalii kutoka Uingereza aliyepo Zanzibar, akisubiri boti ya kwenda Dar es Salaam amesema ameshuhudia miili ya watu wengi ikitolewa ndani ya maji.
"Nimesimama katika bandari ya Zanzibar nikiwa na watalii wengine kama 10 wa Marekani na Uingereza.
"Boti yetu imechelewa kwa sababu wanatumia vyombo vyote vya baharini kuokoa watu".
Rubani mmoja wa helikopta Kapteni Neels van Eijk alipita juu ya eneo la tukio.
"Tuliona walionusurika wakiwa wameshikilia magodoro na majokofu au chochote kile kinachoweza kuelea. Ni vigumu kusema idadi kamili, lakini naweza kusema walikuwepo zaidi ya watu 200 walionusurika ndani ya maji na miili ya watu pia," ameiambia BBC.

Shughuli za uokoaji pwani ya Zanzibar

"Wakati huo, kulikuwa na boti chache zilizofika katika eneo hilo. Walikuwa wakitafuta walionusurika, ingawa bahari haikuwa imechafuka sana, mawimbi walikuwa makubwa, kwa hiyo ilikuwa vugumu kuona walionusurika.
"Tulirusha ndege yetu na kuziongoza boti hadi kwa watu walionusurika ili waweze kuwachukua. Kulikuwa na miili kadhaa ndaniya maji."
Meli hiyo iliondoka Unguja takriban saa tatu usiku saa za Afrika Mashariki na inadhaniwa kuwa ilizama majira ya saa saba usiku.
Ilikuwa imebeba abiria wengi kiasi kwamba baadhi ya abiria waligoma kupanda, amekaririwa abiria mmoja aliyenusurika Abdullah daid, akizungumza na shirika la habari la AP.

MIND POWER: Discover the Subconscious Mind Power Secrets

Mind power is our conscious mind, the way we think. The mind is similar to a constantly flowing spring however a natural spring cannot send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening, nor yield both salt water and fresh. So it is with the mind and its thoughts; it cannot equally think negative and positive thoughts at the same time. One will rule the other.
Since the mind reflects habitual thoughts, it is therefore our responsibility to influence our mind and brain with positive emotions, thoughts and energy as the dominating factors in our mind. Mind power is beyond positive thinking or brain power, it is thinking than believing what you think that will manifest your reality. Since this mind power is power of thought and beliefs, and these thoughts and beliefs will create the outcome of your now, you will want to stay aware to the reflections you are thinking.
Now mind power is a dual system that includes your power of thought(brain) and your subconscious mind. We all have subconscious mind power; it can be as small as smiling at your boss in the hopes of improving the odds of acquiring a raise.
It can be the way you unconsciously handle a situation whether appropriately or not. Power of the subconscious mind comes from the thoughts and beliefs of your the power of the your mind. However you think and believe is what your subconscious mind power will produce. This is done continuously, one minute at a time. Every thought nourished regularly by your mind power will activate your subconscious mind to generate those thoughts and energy whether good or bad into your life. This is how you’re present and future is created.
Your mind power and your subconscious mind work together and they fashion your reality. Let’s use a parallel to help you visualize how this works. Your subconscious mind power is similar to fertile soil that consents to any seed planted inside it. Your habitual thoughts and beliefs are the seeds which are being continually sown and they will eventually produce a crop. So if you plant weeds you will get weeds, if you plant fruit, you will get fruit. In other words, you reap what you sow. Now the conscious mind is the gardener, and it is the mind power to choose what reaches our inner garden- the subconscious.
Unfortunately, most of us do not have green thumbs because of lack of knowledge of this law, the psychology behind this success and because of this ignorance we have allowed all kinds of seeds, both good and bad, to enter. So our subconscious mind power will manifest failure, ill health and all kinds of misfortunes just as effortlessly as it will manifest success and abundance. However, it cannot manifest it both at the same time, which is why the need to constantly actuate the positive until the fertile soil of your subconscious mind power reaps only abundance. Success is only a choice away.
