Reflective vest came a few years alaluokkalaisten almost mandatory school uniform. Many local organizations have acquired vests for school children for several years. Neon yellow safety vests suitable for Finnish weather conditions in September and significantly improve traffic safety.

Safety Engineer Ari-Pekka Elovaara Transportation Security emphasizes the clear views of the reflector vests.

Visibility is not closed to appear, and the quality of an individual reflector. The lifejacket is equipped enough to the surface. It is good that entities have donated in recent years thousands of jackets for schools and kindergartens, Elovaara says.

One can not deny that a parent worries about kinky heart even slightly opened up, when the laddie leaves the mists of dawn even slightly shining.

Traffic Safety is published caps and local associations acquisition bra is an easy way to support the school children road safety.

First graders travel to school compulsorily reflective vests, especially in rural communities where no winter lights appear in the wheel of you now not to mention. Since the use of life jackets are so common exception is for those who can not find a safety vest.

This week has been celebrated Brilliant traffic -teemapäivä elementary school fourth graders around for more than 30 school practical arrangements Finnish National  Board of Education at the national liikenneturvallisuusviikolla. Tapahtumien has taken care of Häme Polytechnic.

In particular, the children have learned reflectors tuned creations to the importance of using crosswalks and traffic.

Last year’s event received positive feedback from the schools Brilliant traffic -teemapäivä the organization responsible for traffic Häme Polytechnic student teachers as well as the Central Motor Transport Association and its member organizations.

Until a few years ago reflector vests intended for consumer use had serious flaws. The reflectors manufacturers and importers are obliged to ensure the quality reflectors for human use. They are defined in the EU Directive on personal. Pedestrian reflective tape and reflective vests belongs meets the requirements of the standards and be CE approved.

“Tintin” call the dockers the crane, which was designed for bulk handling in the Capesize vessel class and the container handling in ships of post-Panamax class. The permanent night shift makes the crane operator from nothing, on the contrary: “Night is not so much bustle, you have a lot more peace.” And on the Bremen Skyline it has stunning panoramic views.
The trucks are ready that 31-tonne tower sections of wind turbines that Feldhusen has to haul the cargo areas, also. In the hustle and bustle below the crane operator has a good view through the bottom of its upstream, glazed cabin. A camera image of the boom tip opened him live another perspective: the long ropes that dangle from the boom, the Traverse, hanging on for this work four more ropes with hooks to the ground directly below. There run colleagues in safety vest busily preparing to and fro. “The sets eyes purely” explains Feldhusen the activity of a colleague on a truck-mounted platform at the top of the concrete segment. The “eyes” are thick eyelets at the end of the wire ropes to accommodate the load.
Sometimes it’s precision work, what the young man has to do with the mobile harbor crane. The boom is extended to exactly 36.8 meters, then the display. The contact through micro-down is there, the work can begin. The hook of the lower cables have stranded cables under control. Feldhusen lifts the boom. Slowly Slings, Traverse, hooks and tower segment turn to the left. “Wait, hold on,” comes up through the intercom. “Quite small to Weser over”, comes the next statement. Feldhusen presses the buttons of the left joystick briefly, then again and again. The load moves to the left, minimal. Yet he has to correct: “Go look very small to Bremen over.” Below lead men in reflective vest the concrete element with your hands with. The crane jerks almost imperceptibly. Then it’s done. “The situation can be maintained”, the colleague at the bottom. The half-shell is there arrived, where they must be. Using a joystick Feldhusen invites them off gently. The tower part should be exactly centered on the truck. Precision work precisely. “Some drivers take this very well,” he explains. “But I’m doing this for nine years. If I could not, I would have done something wrong. “Below, one takes out again the eyes. The truck departs, an unloaded takes his place. Then the game starts all over again. Five to six vices creates Feldhusen per hour, 35 to 40 per shift. Many tower segments have already disappeared. The asphalt looks like the Mikado game of a giant: a long wooden beams that underlay that are no longer required, are scattered  everywhere.
Eight weeks ago Feldhusen and his colleagues have begun to load the concrete shells. “This is all a business, 4600 parts,” he says. Night after night, night after night go so many shells in the onward transport, such as trucks are there. Planning can dockworkers rare. Too often, wind and weather them a spanner in the works when it comes to precise arrival times.
More than one million tons of cargo are handled annually in Europe’s largest terminal for general cargo and heavy cargo. Goods come and go: forest products mainly from the USA, Finland, the Iberian Peninsula and Russia; Steel and components go as exports to the United States, North Africa and the Gulf States. Fascinated have the dimensions in the New Town harbors Feldhusen already when he visited as a boy his father at work. That is, after all, for 41 years here crane operator. “It’s totally fun,” says the young man about his work. His favorite Loads a container, delivering the barges from Bremerhaven. 140 containers fit on a ship, about 25 creates Feldhusen per hour. “The are pre jammed near the quay. There is not much to be observed and no long waiting times, “says the learned construction mechanic. Per Container Crockery he lifts the 30-ton container on effortlessly.
Until 144 tons can lift “Tintin”, if his arm is extended not more than 20 meters. The other way around Feldhusen can use a swivel range of 51 meters, but then lift only 45 tonnes. In short: “Tintin” is super. “It’s fairly new, pleasant to drive and is fixed with heavy weights.” What one loves so, it is customary accordingly. At the windshield, a window washer is mounted behind the seat a mini vacuum cleaner is next to fire extinguishers, helmet and reflective tape stowed. “For the dirt from the shoes on the disk.”
At this point everything is loaded, “Tintin” has the next location. Feldhusen switches on the display the symbols for tires, axles and feet. Once the feet are above the indicator turns green. Then a loud beep sounds – the signal that announces the upcoming trip. The joysticks are connected to the drive mode; a colleague helps when leaving a parking. “Stop!” He exclaims. “Since ist’n truck behind you!” With the thumb on the joystick Feldhusen rotates the crane. The Slings are blowing, then it starts. “Fire!”, The man calls down. Leisurely the huge vehicle moves through the night, while a red-hot sky over the steel plant announced a tap.

Volunteers in Peter teach everyone to save people. On the windshield of his car in the lower right corner of the red cross pasted. On the seat lying reflective vest with “Lifeguard” reflective lettering. He adds: “This is my personal car. Just when something happens, people have to understand that I am not a casual person that I can trust. ”
Sasha Raevskii thirty, he – the anesthetist “emergency” brigade. Eighteen months ago, I conceived and organized social movement in St. Petersburg “Legion”, which teaches everyone to free first aid skills.
We go, and Sasha said that in order to save a person, you need to know a little bit. This “little” may well fit in a couple of two-hour lectures. But the average person these lectures in his life, as a rule, no. They simply have nowhere to take. And most of the time being it seems that chest compressions – it is rather stills of extremals and heroes, not the reality of everyday life. And then in front of you suddenly falls unconscious on the street people without safety vest, and the only tool in 98 cases out of 100 – a mobile phone in the hands trembling, to dial “fast”.
This pervasive helplessness Rajewski, bluntly, angry. “Most come to call on the accident, and the people stand around and shoot what is happening, and not even fit to person. Sometimes you just want to give in the face. ”
I imagine myself in the place of these people and I think that my personal awareness in the provision of first aid, such as zero. Strictly speaking, the criminal is zero. And like me, in the Russian majority.
Rajewski this trend is trying to break.
He remembers the first death. It was his first job – a male nurse in a city hospital, Peter. “They brought a guy with a crash. In the blood of the young. He tried to save, but he died. I remember it very well. I shook his death. ”
Death as a result of ignorance of others, he believes, is criminal. “I always say in the classroom, that even if you do not care about the fate of others, it can happen that would be bad your mom or baby. In your eyes, and the bill will go to the minutes. this is the argument works for many. ”
Rajewski after working as an orderly in the 17 years since this track and rolled. Then I worked as a nurse, paramedic teams “first aid”. He graduated from medical school, this year’s Medical University. Who runs internship while working anesthetist resuscitation team of “first aid”.
A bear began seven years ago knowledge of the masses. The university has become a co-author of Learning first aid skills project “Help yourself.” Together with friends organized a team and began to offer services to schools. Thus began the “blanket mailing” basic credo Rajewski – everyone should be able to use the chance to save a human life.
It turned out a lot of like-minded people. Now – the whole team. Eighteen months ago, there was “Legion” – a social movement.
targeted audience
Who would have thought that the basics of first aid should be taught to students of medical universities. It was found necessary. Because in the first two years it does not say anything educational program on how to save people.
Why read a lecture on first aid for children with cerebral palsy from correctional boarding school, is also not entirely clear. But the “legionnaire” Maya Rodionova me explains: “We have them, we cannot of course to learn to do heart massage practice, but they can remember it and tell us when you need it, to others. And we are working with them the ability to ask for help, to call the emergency services do not hesitate to shout if you want. Orem in training right along with them. We also terribly squeezed society, people with reflective tape often cannot even call for help, like as indecent. ”
Even their constant “customers” – students, bikers and firefighters.
Students – because life safety lessons (life safety fundamentals) about anything, but not about the skills, bikers – obvious clientele, and fire – too formal approach sacrifices. When the “legionnaires” firehouse management asked to conduct workshops, it became clear that teaching to extinguish the fire, firefighters not really taught to save the victims of the fires.

Kazan drivers “lit” on the vest and first aid kit
Under the guise of the championship in water sports, which is being held in Kazan, the social network of the city were flooded with messages that the traffic police has announced a raid drivers. Like, for lack of a fire extinguisher and a certificate to it, as well as first aid kits, “the new model 2015”, which should be reflective vest, can easily cater to the car pound. Without superfluous needs better not to travel on the road, and those with a crack on the glass or accumulated unpaid fines.
Warming interest, enterprising young people have not forgotten to write about that in the automobile bought up all the emergency response funds, but they can still be found in the bazaars along the roads.
Unsuspecting drivers panicked and entrepreneurs inflated prices. The cost of “Set motorist” on the road jumped several times. And if sane person could meet with the purchase of 500 rubles, now sets diverge like hotcakes and 1200, and even in one and a half thousand rubles. And cunning dealers managed to sell kits “from the future”: the date of manufacture on them, “August 2015”.
Only now it turns out that the hype has been created deliberately, because during the shutdown rare inspector is interested in what is in the trunk. First of all traffic police officers with reflective tape have aimed to identify drunk drivers on the road and explicit violators of traffic rules.
This was on hand to wreak havoc, and so everything is clear. At the same rake Kazan drivers came four years ago during the Universiade. Then, too, all frightened, that work on the road “beasts” and there is not a better show.
And the funny thing. None of the alarmists not thought to look into the rules, where black and white, you need to carry in the trunk.
– On the one hand, we are pleased that those who had not carried with a warning triangle, first aid kit and fire extinguisher, finally bought them, – he told the “RG” the deputy commander of the regiment DPS traffic police Kazan Mikhail Savin. – But we have already been forced to deny media reports that the lack of these items will be sent to the car pound car. Indeed, it is impossible to pass inspection if no first aid kit, warning triangle and a fire extinguisher, but technically it is not a malfunction. And as for the safety vest and certificates I did not say. About it in the rules do not say anything. Apparently, someone was very profitable to sow panic on the eve of the championship, and the web spam was launched. I myself looked for the interest in the car shop to see how, for example, is a fire extinguisher. Look, there are 120 rubles. So, I think, it is not so bad.
Incidentally, the traffic police cars on the streets of Kazan during the World Cup really has increased, but the crew did not lyutuyut as eyewitnesses describe in social networks, pumping situation. Drivers were warned in advance that they are a couple of weeks, while there is an international tournament, not out of town on the dedicated lanes for movement of shuttles championship marked in orange. For it really is a penalty of 1.5 thousand rubles. But the issuing of receipts are not inspectors and cameras aimed at selected areas to eliminate the human factor.

April 17 held a regular, third in a row, a bike ride through the alleys of the Kaliningrad region. At this time, the participants not only passed along the route, in some parts of which are preserved magnificent examples of roadside alleys, but also met with some pages of history of the land and planted new trees.
The route ran through the bike ride Semba (Kaliningrad) Peninsula from Kaliningrad to the Romanovs and back through the villages Kholmogorovka, carpet, Roshchino, Springs, Melnikov. Cyclists in the “Avenue of the Kaliningrad region” reflective vest started on the stele at the entrance of Kaliningrad, close to Fort №5, and moved in the direction of the village Kovrovo.
Weather, frankly, did not have to cycling, testing experienced and novice cyclists to the test. Through the veil of rain outlines of many kilometers, but unfortunately preserved only in part – due to active logging – linden alley.
The section from Kholmogorovka to Kovrovo cyclists could see the trunks of trees reflective elements mounted road services in 2015 on the advice of the avenues of defense.
Roshchino
The first stop on the way was the old manor house in the village Roshchino, which has a long history. In the XIV century it housed the Order courtyard where horses were engaged in cultivation of combat. In 1414 there Gryunhof name – Green yard.

Needless estate was first mentioned in 1623 as a hunting lodge of the Great Elector. At the turn of XVII – XVIII centuries at the behest of Frederick William I rebuilt it, turning from a wooden structure in the stone building in the Baroque style. Our participant gather together with safety vest to learn this history.
In 1814 the manor favor the hero of the war with Napoleon, the Prussian General Friedrich Wilhelm von Bülow of Merit. Outstanding commander, successfully defended the three Berlin and played a crucial role in the Battle of Waterloo, von Bülow enjoyed great prestige and affection in their own army and allies respect. In Konigsberg, an honorary citizen of which he was, his name was of one of the streets (now -. Glass Street), and a locket with his picture graced Sackheim gates. The Dutch, after the return of Napoleon to power, offered to lead his general liberation forces, and Russian have awarded him the Order of St. George’s 2 nd degree.
After his death in 1816, von Bulow was buried in the cemetery of the reformist community of Konigsberg, and in 1843 his son moved the remains in a modest tomb in Gryunhofe.
Survived several wars and generations of owners, changing political regimes and methods of use (in the Soviet period it housed the farm board medprofilaktory, accommodations and even a cinema) in the past two decades, it was empty and gradually destroyed. Despite the status of an object of cultural heritage, produced in 2007, for the manor no one cared that eventually led in 2013 to the collapse of the third building in the northern part.
Fortunately, the court decided to withdraw the building from the owner (by the way, it is not privatizing legitimately). Now she has a new home – young energetic Alex and Katherine, to make every effort to restore the estate of her previous form and transform it into a museum.
For many participants of the bike ride Gryunhof manor became a real discovery. I wanted to come back here – this time as volunteers and helpers to restore it.
Romanovo
Further, the way participants of the run was in the Romanov (ex. Pobeten), one of the oldest settlements in the region. There was it before the arrival on the territory of the Baltic tribes, first recorded in the chronicles in 1258. Around this time, the fortress was built here was destroyed during the civil unrest of the XVI century.
Not just updated it for many years kept many cultural values: a wooden chair with richly carved and six wooden figures with reflective tape on it, made in the late XVII century altar embroidery depicting figures of four young women, the body of the XVII century, a silver bowl of the XV century, wall paintings, bells .
In Pobetenskoy Lutheran church for many years served as Bill Abel, on behalf of the Duke Albrecht in 1561 performed the translation of the Small Catechism of Martin Luther in the Prussian language.
Another pastor of the local Christian Taege at the request of General Fermor (the one under whose guidance the first time Russian occupied East Prussia with Koenigsberg) became a priest in the Russian field army.
During the Second World War Lutheran Church almost did not suffer: it was only one shell, damaging part of the roof. Today, the historic church building, by the way, since 1990, which belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church, ruinizirovano.

The detainee – a previously convicted local resident – is suspected of embezzlement of one of the Orthodox churches, located in Togliatti Autazavadskaya area. Which place gather policeman with reflective vest.
In the police department number 22, the Office of the Russian Interior Ministry in the city of Togliatti, it was reported that in one of the parishes Avtozavodsky district, unknown stole kiot under the icon.
Interviewing the victim, law enforcement custody of the attacker installed the signs.
