China has launched a nationwide inspection of fire hazards in high-rise residential and public buildings after a major blaze in Hong Kong killed at least 128 people, with about 200 others still unaccounted for, authorities said.中国政府宣布,香港发生重大火灾造成至少128人死亡、约200人下落不明后,中国已启动全国范围的高层住宅和公共建筑消防隐患排查工作。In a notice issued on Saturday, the Work Safety Committee of the State Council instructed local governments to immediately carry out checks and fix problems in occupied residential towers, office buildings, hospitals and shopping complexes. The campaign aims to prevent accidents linked to renovation work, aging facilities and blocked evacuation routes, the committee said.国务院安全生产委员会周六发布通知,要求各地政府立即对已投入使用的住宅楼、写字楼、医院和商场进行安全排查整改。该委员会表示,此次行动旨在防范因装修施工、设施老化及疏散通道堵塞引发的事故。The directive comes in the aftermath of Wednesday's fire at Wang Fuk Court, a residential estate in Hong Kong's Tai Po district. The blaze was first reported at 2:51 pm and quickly escalated to the city's highest alarm level, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky and spreading to seven of the development's eight apartment blocks. All visible flames were brought under control by Saturday.该指令是在周三香港大埔区旺福苑住宅区发生火灾后发布的。火灾于下午2时51分首次报告,迅速升级至全市最高警报级别,浓烟滚滚升腾至天空,并蔓延至该发展区八栋公寓楼中的七栋。截至周六,所有可见火势均已得到控制。Initial findings indicate the fire started on lower-floor scaffolding and spread rapidly due to flammable insulation materials and bamboo structures used for exterior wall repairs. The buildings were undergoing maintenance at the time, and the outer surfaces were covered with construction netting and othercombustible materials, investigators said.初步调查结果显示,火灾始于低层脚手架,因外墙维修使用的易燃隔热材料和竹制结构而迅速蔓延。调查人员称,事发时建筑正处于维护阶段,外表面覆盖着施工防护网及其他可燃材料。Under the new nationwide measures, checks will target risky renovation practices, such as unapproved construction, use offlammable insulation and hot work like welding in crowded indoor spaces.根据新出台的全国性措施,检查将重点针对高风险装修行为,例如未经批准的施工、使用易燃隔热材料,以及在拥挤的室内空间进行焊接等热作业。Inspectors will also focus on malfunctioning fire-fighting facilities, includingfire hydrants, sprinklers, smoke-control systems and emergency exits. Problems such as piles of combustible debris, blocked escape passages and electric bikes parked or charged in hallways are also listed as common hazards requiring immediate attention.检查人员还将重点排查消防设施故障问题,包括消防栓、喷淋系统、排烟系统及紧急出口。堆积的易燃杂物、被堵塞的逃生通道、以及停放在走廊或在走廊充电的电动自行车等隐患,也被列为需要立即处理的常见安全隐患。Local authorities have been told to combine self-inspections by building managers with random official checks. Hazards must be fixed without delay, and major issues will be subject to tighter supervision, the notice said. Severe violations will be punished.地方当局已接到通知,要求将建筑管理人员的自查与官方抽查相结合。通知称,隐患必须立即消除,重大问题将受到更严格的监督,严重违规行为将受到惩处。Officials said the campaign is intended to close safety loopholes and reduce the risk of large-scale tragedies, particularly in densely populated high-rise communities.政府人员表示,此次行动旨在堵塞安全漏洞,降低大规模悲剧发生的风险,尤其是在人口密集的高层住宅区。combustibleadj. /kəmˈbʌs.tə.bəl/可燃的,易燃的fire hydrants消防拴

An international mystery. A group of thieves working out of New York, Amsterdam and Paris set in motion a complex art forgery and theft project. Initially they are highly successful, that is until one member is overcome by greed and the promise of a quick buck, not necessarily shared with his partners.This greedy departure from a proven method of operation suddenly goes oh, so wrong. People die, partnerships are threatened and the entire mess lands in the collective laps of the San Francisco Police Department's Homicide Bureau.Inspectors O'Neill, Donnelly, Gibson and Sullivan are now responsible for solving a homicide that will lead them far outside their normal comfort zone. International crime, art forgery and murder, a lethal combination that will test the investigative skills of the Inspectors.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, editor Liam Garman sits down with Detector Inspector's Jordan Kagan Gescheit to unpack the biggest shake-up to Victorian property management in years – the 25 November rental reforms that will force agencies to prove a property meets minimum standards before it's advertised, and how Detector Inspector is helping agents and landlords alike. Jordan breaks down why this recent development is a game-changer: Consumer Affairs Victoria's taskforce can now walk into an open home, review a listing, or audit photos on REA and Domain – and issue fines on the spot if a heater, window covering, blind, or any of the 14 minimum standards don't stack up. Owners and agencies are both in the firing line. The duo then unpacks Detector Inspector's national expansion amid an increasingly challenging rental compliance market. With pressure mounting, Jordan reveals how Detector Inspector built Properly a purpose-designed solution created with major Victorian brands to help property managers meet the new laws quickly. Using guided video capture workflows, property managers and business development managers can record a full minimum standards assessment, send it to Detector Inspector's specialist reviewers, and receive a formal determination – backed by a guarantee and penalty protection. Jordan explains why timing is now everything, why relying on trades to physically access a property is no longer viable, and how Properly provides agencies with the only scalable way to establish a "reasonable belief" before a listing goes live. He also lifts the lid on how Detector Inspector's technology flags compliance issues automatically, accelerates relets, and removes risk for property managers navigating the toughest reform environment the state has seen.

Vickie Griffith explains why mentorship isn't enough and how coaching drives real growth.
On the 8th February 2024, former prison officer Lenny Scott was shot six times outside a gym in Skelmersdale, Lancashire. Tragically Lenny succumbed to his injuries several days later. A murder investigation was launched, headed up by DCI Lee Wilson, which ultimately led to the conviction of Lennys killer, Elias Morgan. Morgan will spend the next 45 years in gaol before being considered for parole. Throughout the investigation, Lee never lost sight of the family left behind after Lenny's murder and they were always a critical part of every decision Lee made. It is a fascinating insight into the life of a Senior Investigating Officer within a Homecide squad.

The shocking discovery of blood-stained surgical tools at a Colorado hospital is a wake-up call for every dental practice. When sterilization falls behind, even briefly, safety can break down fast and dentistry faces the same risks, especially with short staffing, rushed schedules, and inconsistent infection control habits. In this episode, Kevin Henry and infection control expert Mary Govoni, CDA, RDH, discuss how incidents like this happen and why dental teams must stay alert. They talk through common failures in instrument processing, gaps in PPE use, and how post-pandemic complacency has led to rising safety concerns in many practices. Mary explains the importance of proper onboarding, reliable training, and strong infection control routines especially as respiratory illnesses surge and demands on clinical teams increase. She also addresses often-missed issues such as waterline testing and how dental assistants can identify red flags and advocate for safer practices.

Thursday October 30, 2025 Trump Dismisses another Inspector General
Everyone wants to do convenient things. We want it so bad that we even created stores called convenience stores! Yet, having things readily available isn't always a good thing. Today, Pastor Ken says our culture has twisted the word of God to only believe in things that are convenient for them. If it's hard, take it out. If it seems undoable, don't do it. Our culture is always looking out for itself above all. You must be different! Stand for the Gospel and watch as you make an impact on those around you!
WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports on the final City Council budget hearing for Inspector General Deborah Witzburg.
When I was younger, I remember doing something bad that I thought my parents didn't know I did. They would never confront me about it because they wanted to teach me a lesson on coming clean on my own terms. Today, Pastor Ken says God doesn't have space for unconfessed sin. In fact, He won't even tolerate it. To be forgiven by God, you must come clean and confess all your sin, not just some of it. He loves you and desires a relationship with you that's built on the truths of the Gospel!

As always 100% of the profits go towards the Foundation For Dental Laboratory Technology (https://dentallabfoundation.org/)! https://www.bonfire.com/its-all-in-the-name160/ This week, Elvis and Barb sit down with two amazing ladies who turned tragedy into triumph. When a devastating fire destroyed Denture Crafters (https://www.denturecrafters.net/) a few weeks ago, lab manager Amber Rosema and general manager Daniele Collard didn't waste a single moment. From the parking lot of their burned-down lab, they began rebuilding—calling suppliers, securing space, and rallying their team to get dentures back in patients' mouths. Hear the incredible story of how these two leaders kept their employees working, rebuilt their systems, and leaned on the kindness of another lab to get back up and running in just days.

When I was younger, my cousins and I had a secret code in which we would talk to each other so other people couldn't understand us.
