West Coast Beach<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE<\/strong> <\/span>
This leaflet has been placed by the West Coast City Council to ensure the safety of all beach visitors.\u00a0 Our purpose is to inform all visitors of some basic safety rules.\u00a0 We strongly urge all beachgoers to heed the information that follows. <\/span>

Swimming<\/strong> <\/span>
There are three different kinds of flags that are positioned in different areas according to conditions.\u00a0 The area between two red flags indicates high instability – deep water and unpredictable waves \u2013 no swimming allowed.\u00a0 Green flags are placed 100 metres apart and indicate that swimming for competent swimmers is safe but conditions are unstable for weaker swimmers.\u00a0 Ideal conditions for swimming exist for both adults and children between yellow flags.\u00a0 Non-swimmers should not attempt to swim in the ocean.\u00a0 Even if you consider yourself to be a competent swimmer, always swim between the yellow flags.\u00a0 The probability of drowning at an unsupervised beach is 10 times greater than at a beach with a lifeguard on duty.\u00a0 Irrespective of how competent a swimmer you are, the council\u2019s decree is – never swim alone! <\/span>

Waves sometimes carry strong currents or \u2018rips\u2019 that are created by water volume and gravity.\u00a0 Rips can make swimming very difficult and you can be pulled out to sea.\u00a0 If you are swimming between the flags, use the distress signal \u2013 wave one arm above your head \u2013 to gain the attention of a lifeguard.\u00a0 If you are caught in a rip and are swimming outside a flagged area, do not try to swim against it, instead, float (the most comfortable way is typically on your back) and relax – do not struggle to swim back to the shore.\u00a0 When you are feeling a little more relaxed, swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the strong current or \u2018rip\u2019 zone and then swim to the shore. <\/span>

On the Beach<\/strong> <\/span>
Drinking alcohol on the beach is prohibited.\u00a0 Never swim if you have been drinking alcohol or have eaten a large meal.\u00a0 We have encountered a significant portion of drowning incidents that were caused by alcohol. <\/span>

The north end of the beach has a rocky cliff.\u00a0 Avoid walking on the rocks as they are often very slippery.\u00a0 In order to avoid cuts, scrapes and even broken bones, adults should keep children under close observation at all times. <\/span>

From about 10 am to 2 pm, the sun is at its most dangerous.\u00a0 During these times, make sure you are wearing sunscreen, a shirt and a hat while at the beach.\u00a0 Exposure of the skin to the sun at these times can carry with it the threat of skin cancer.\u00a0 Children\u2019s skin is especially vulnerable; ensure that they are protected.<\/span><\/p>\n

* If you have any further enquiries, please visit the Lifeguard Office *
Enjoy your day at the beach!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

HOME BUSINESS: Points to Consider<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Home businesses have seen exceptional growth over the past decade with approximately 150 million people in the United States running a home-based business. \u00a0 <\/span>

There are two important points to making a profit which are valid no matter what product or service you are planning to promote.\u00a0 Having the idea is just the start.\u00a0 The focus must be on whether there is a market for your product.\u00a0 The main consideration should not just be whether you like what you are planning to sell, but whether other people will like it and want to spend money on it. <\/span>

Do your research.\u00a0 A trip to the library and a couple of evenings online will assist you in beginning to understand your market.\u00a0 Your goal should be to get a general sense of the type of customer your product or service will attract. <\/span>

Business registration is a requirement and involves several areas.\u00a0 A legitimate structure must be determined and the most popular options are sole proprietor, a partnership, or a company.\u00a0 City Business Assistance can help with information about sole proprietorships and partnerships.\u00a0 Individuals needing help with registering a corporation should Legal Structures Corp.\u00a0 Deciding upon your business name and getting your federal tax identification are also a part of the business registration process. <\/span>

Obtaining reliable financial advice is another important consideration.\u00a0 Small Business Administration (SBA) is a United States government agency providing financial support for small businesses.\u00a0 Locate a reliable mid-range accounting firm that will help you structure the financial side of your business and provide you with the taxation advice you may need. <\/span>

Insurance must be a part of your planning.\u00a0 Consultation with an insurance agent is highly recommended.\u00a0 Contact Able Insurance for insurance matters under $1 million and Constar for all other amounts. <\/span>

Equipment and inventory are important considerations as well.\u00a0 What equipment will be needed to provide the service or product you intend to offer?\u00a0 How much stock will you need and do you have the room for it?\u00a0 These questions must be carefully considered and answered. <\/span>

Many home businesses are online.\u00a0 If this is your plan, you will need to purchase a domain name and locate an Internet Service Provider (ISP).\u00a0 Costing varies mostly according to data downloaded.\u00a0 Connection speed can also affect the internet cost.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>

For additional assistance on any of the above matters, please contact the county extension office nearest you or the National Directorate for state enquiries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Questions 21-27<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

21.<\/strong>\u00a0 What is the first listed key for a home business profit? <\/span>
22.<\/strong>\u00a0 Which area of home business planning includes federal tax identification? <\/span>
23.<\/strong>\u00a0 Who can be contacted for advice about the legal structure of an independently run business? <\/span>
24.<\/strong>\u00a0 Who can provide help with getting money for a home business? <\/span>
25.<\/strong>\u00a0 Which company provides insurance assistance up to $1 million? <\/span>

Section 3: Question 28-40<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Olefin Fibre: A New Dimension in Textiles<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A: \u00a0 <\/strong>By definition, textile refers to a flexible material made up of either natural or artificial fibres. Usually, a textile is produced by spinning raw fibres on a spinning wheel and converting them into long strands of thread or yarn.\u00a0 Textile fibres used to be broadly categorised as: animal fibre \u2013 those which are made up of animal hair and fur or; plant fibre – those which are derived from plants.\u00a0 The invention of olefin fibre, however, added a new dimension to the traditional categories of textile fibres. <\/span>

B: <\/strong>Olefin fibre is a complex fibre made from alkenes, which, in organic chemistry, are \u2018unsaturated chemical compounds made up of carbon1\u2019.\u00a0 The properties of olefin partially reflect the properties of synthetics, which is why it is defined as a \u2018chemically manipulated synthetic fibre\u2019.\u00a0 Two properties of olefin that match the properties of synthetics are that it is man-made and its production involves the amalgamation of a set of different fibres. <\/span>

C:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 The discovery of olefin was due to extensive research first undertaken in Italy.\u00a0 In 1957, the Textile Research Laboratory of Italy began experiments to find a liquid solution that would coat fibres in such a way that the textiles made from those fibres would become strong enough to be used in the production of clothing.\u00a0 The scientists at the laboratory noticed that chemical ingredients, consisting mostly of carbon, showed a tendency to create strong bonds with cotton and thus, could be treated as a \u2018knitting ingredient\u2019 rather than a \u2018coating ingredient\u2019.\u00a0 The initial testing of olefin yielded favourable results but surprisingly, only a few leading textile manufacturing firms in Italy profited from larger-scale manufacturing and sales.\u00a0 Encouraged by the modest success in Italy, the USA was one of the earliest adopters of olefin and began commercial manufacturing on a sizable scale in 1960.\u00a0 Today, olefin fibre is produced in over 10 countries around the world and accounts for 16% of all textile fibres manufactured worldwide. <\/span>

D: <\/strong>Textile researchers view the invention of olefin as important due to its strength, thickness and low specific gravity – all of which ensured that the fibres were strong without being overly heavy.\u00a0 Before the invention of olefin, textiles that were strong were also quite heavy, and a heavy textile meant it was less comfortable for the wearer and involved higher carriage costs from mills to marketplaces.\u00a0 During the 1990s, scientists in the USA improved upon both the manufacturing process and construction of olefin fibres so that they were able to absorb some moisture – an aspect which was missing from the initial forms of olefin.\u00a0 With improvements in colourfastness, greater strength and the ability to resist sunlight, there have been even greater advances in the production of olefin in recent times. <\/span>

E: \u00a0 <\/strong>Despite significant advantages, two major disadvantages of olefin are that it does not dye well and it is expensive to produce.\u00a0 The first disadvantage is due to the production process; the fibres are bonded at such high temperatures that the addition of colour is impeded.\u00a0 Olefin fibres can only absorb select light colours like white, off-white and light yellow.\u00a0 However, it is possible to add darker colours by making the bonds weaker, the trade-off being that the threads lose some of their strength.\u00a0 From a functional point of view, strength is more important than colour.\u00a0 The second disadvantage of olefin is the hydro-spinning mill setup and thermal control equipment that are required in the manufacturing process – both are very expensive to install and maintain. <\/span>

F: \u00a0 <\/strong>Worldwide, olefin is used in the apparel, home furnishing and automotive industries.\u00a0 In the apparel industry, comfortable but expensive activewear can be made of olefin, particularly in the area of professional swimming.\u00a0 Although olefin is very warm, winter clothes are not typically made from it due to its high manufacturing price.\u00a0 In the home furnishing industry, olefin is often used to produce carpets, carpet tiles and other floor coverings.\u00a0 In expensive automobiles, interior coverings and sun visors are often made of olefin. <\/span>

G: \u00a0 <\/strong>Unlike numerous manufacturers of traditional textiles, there are very few olefin manufacturers around the world.\u00a0 Today, most olefin production firms are based in the USA, England and China.\u00a0 In the global marketplace, China has been able to export the most olefin.\u00a0 China\u2019s low labour cost has enabled the country to offer olefin textiles to the global market at a comparatively low price. <\/span>

H: <\/strong>British scientists, in collaboration with some giant European textile manufacturing companies, are now conducting extensive research to reduce olefin production costs.\u00a0 The challenge is to decrease the production costs without losing any of the unique properties of the textile.\u00a0 If the research is successful, then olefin may become a regular component of everyday clothing. <\/span>
