What is risk assessment?
 A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a failure to take reasonable control measures.
Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have to go to court. You are legally required to assess the risks in your workplace so that you put in place a plan to control the risks.

Industrialist*
July 30, 1863 - April 7, 1947   

Henry Ford was born on a farm near Detroit, Michigan. He never really enjoyed farming and left the farm at age sixteen, three years after his mother died.

As a child he was fascinated by
machines. He always carried around in his pockets nuts and bolts and machinery parts. By the time he was thirteen he could put together a watch that kept time. This interest in machines led him to work for a while as an apprentice machinist, and later he went to work for Westinghouse servicing their steam engines.

Clara Bryant became his
wife in 1888. He returned to the farm, built a house, and ran a sawmill. They had one child, a son they named Edsel.

When Henry was twenty-eight he became an engineer at Edison Company which made electrical generating stations. He was made chief engineer two years later and advanced to a salary of $125 a month.

Unidad 3. Aproximación al texto

Henry Ford was born on a farm near Detroit, Michigan. He never really enjoyed farming and left the farm at age sixteen, three years after his mother died.

As a child he was fascinated by
machines. He always carried around in his pockets nuts and bolts and machinery parts. By the time he was thirteen he could put together a watch that kept time. This interest in machines led him to work for a while as an apprentice machinist, and later he went to work for Westinghouse servicing their steam engines.

Clara Bryant became his
wife in 1888. He returned to the farm, built a house, and ran a sawmill. They had one child, a son they named Edsel.

When Henry was twenty-eight he became an engineer at Edison Company which made electrical generating stations. He was made chief engineer two years later and advanced to a salary of $125 a month.

In 1903 he built two race cars to advertise the automobile. One he named the "999" and the other the "Arrow". He hired Barney Oldfield, a professional bicycle rider and race car driver to race for him. In 1904 Ford himself driving the Ford Arrow set a new land speed record in his car - over 91 miles per hour! The event took place on the frozen ice of Lake St. Claire.

When he was forty years old Ford and eleven investors formed the Ford Motor Company.
They had a $28,000 investment in it.


Henry Ford's motto was "simplicity" *. By simplifying the process of making cars, he was able to make the car affordable to the common worker in America. Of course, this simplification resulted in only one color choice. He wrote, "A customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants - so long as it is black."

In his book he contrasts the making of axe handles by hand and machine to show how
mechanization *reduced the cost of his car.

Ford hired
handicapped workers*. He studied the jobs and the requirements and put each man in a place where he could do the job and make a living for his family.

Ford had a heart attack in 1938 and turned the running of the company over to his son, but Edsel died five years later, and Ford had to again assume leadership. He stayed in that position for two years, but due to his ill health, he made his grandson Henry Ford II president of the company in 1945.

Henry Ford died at the age of 83 of a cerebral * hemorrhage *. He was one of many people who helped to make America great. At the end of his book he describes his vision of a
great country in which the resources of a country and the skills of its people are developed so that all have a fair share.

OH MY GOAL =  oh mi gol
En un juego con implicaciones de titulo, Wayne Rooney anotó el gol del torneo para darle la victoria al United 2-1 por encima de su amargo rival Manchester city.
Texto:
Each time Manchester United and Manchester City face each other, we're left to wonder if this will be the turning point in the rivalry, the match we look back on and say this was when City started to dominate. It seems inevitable, given the vast resources being poured into the blue side of Manchester. But that moment will have to wait, all because of an extraordinary goal from Wayne Rooney.
It was a pivotal day in the title race, no doubt about it. And Rooney, who's not done much by his high standards for the first two-thirds of the season, has all but erased any ill will and disappointment with one transcendent tally in the 77th minute.
About twelve yards out, level with the left-hand post and with his back to goal, Rooney reacted to a deflected delivery from Nani with an overhead kick into the top right-hand corner of the net. City keeper Joe Hart could only watch as the ball -- and his team's title aspirations -- whizzed by him.
Goal of the game. Goal of the season. Biggest goal of Rooney's career. "I think so," Rooney told Sky Sports when asked if it was the best goal of his career. "I saw it come into the box and thought, 'Why not?' Thankfully it finished up in the top corner.
"I was trying to get in a good position for when Nani crossed it. Nine times out of 10 they go over the crossbar. Today it ended up in the top corner. It is instinct. You don't have time to think about it."
You can forget Dimitar Berbatov's overhead kick against Liverpool this past fall. It'll be Rooney's majestic moment that will be memorialized by the Old Trafford faithful.
The goal was in stark contrast to how United approached much of this showdown. Per usual for a match of big importance, manager Alex Ferguson kept Berbatov on the bench at the start of the game so he could add an extra player in the midfield and use just one striker up top. Call it the lunch-bucket formation -- it's workmanlike and effective, if not especially pleasing to the eye.
Look at the first goal, one that would make any Bolton fan swoon -- a simple hoof from Edwin van der Sar straight down the middle. Rooney won the ball off Joleon Lescott and Ryan Giggs delivered a perfectly weighted one-touch pass to a surging Nani. The Portugal international showed his quality in the way he brought down the ball into his control, and then slotted it into the bottom-right corner.
He may never become the next Cristiano Ronaldo, but Nani has come into his own and is having a huge impact. He has now scored or assisted on 19 goals for Manchester United in his past 20 Premier League appearances.
City played quite well, it should be noted, and was often the sharper of the two sides in the final third. David Silva pulled his usual playmaking strings, and Carlos Tevez had some threatening moments, especially after Edin Dzeko came on.
And we can be certain that United has seen enough of the Bosnian. As a Wolfsburg player last season, Dzeko scored twice against the Red Devils in the Champions League. And though Silva got credit for City's only goal on Saturday, he knew nothing of it. It was Dzeko's blast at point-blank range, which took a nasty deflection off of Silva's back, that was the reason City got on the scoreboard.
Still, there's bound to be plenty of bitter Blues supporters out there, as this hilarious bit demonstrates.
Other standout performances included Nemanja Vidic, who snuffed out attacks like a fireman putting out a thousand brushfires, and Chris Smalling. Starting in place of the injured Rio Ferdinand, Smalling had big boots to fill, and he acquitted himself exceptionally well at the back. United fans probably expected him to get caught out but he kept his head right to the death, when he made a strong tackle to stop City's last surge forward.
But this game all comes back to Rooney, the savior at Old Trafford. "Talisman" is the most overused word in soccer; a player scores a few goals and suddenly he's being anointed as something special. But the description is apropos for Rooney. Despite his tumultuous contract negotiations and his poor dip in form, he has come good in a critically important derby. And once again, he's proven how valuable he is at Old Trafford, as United now has won all 41 of the Premier League matches that he has scored in at home.
Roberto Mancini and his men now find themselves eight points back of the lead. The revolution at Eastlands will probably have to wait at least one more season.

Un importante gol
Un gol que mas de los espectacular de su ejecución es lo importante que represento para su equipo en ese partido.

What Is a Tsunami?





A tsunami (pronounced tsoo-NAH-mee) is a series of waves, made in an ocean or other body of water by an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. Tsunamis can cause huge destruction when they hit coastlines. Some people call tsunamis “tidal waves”, but these large waves really have little to do with tides, so the term “tidal wave” does not really suit them.
Tsunamis pueden causar gran destrucción cuando chocan con las líneas costeras.
Tsunami waves are fn different from the waves you can usually find rolling into the coast of a lake or ocean. Those waves are made by wind offshore and are quite small compared with tsunami waves. A tsunami wave in the open ocean can be more than 100 km across. That’s roughly the length of 1000 American football fields! Tsunami waves are huge and can travel very quickly, at about 700 km/hr, but they are only about one meter high in the open ocean.
Las olas del Tsunami son diferentes de las Olas que usualmente puedes conseguir formandose en la costa de un lago u océano.
