Speak English or lose pay, Aussie firm tells staff

An Australian company has directed its multicultural work office to speak only English or sacrifice a pay rise.
The Australian company Cochlear, famous for hearing aids, has threatened to deny pay rises to staff who speak foreign languages at the workplace, despite the fact that more than half of its workers hail from non-English speaking countries.
Huy Kha, a worker from Cambodia, alleges in his complaint – to be lodged today with the NSW’s anti-discrimination board that in June his manager ordered him to “speak English at al times”
“The team leader said if we are found speaking a foreign language, we will fail our assessment to get a higher classification,” he wrote.
The Age quoted Cochlear’s Chief executive Chris Roberts as saying he was unaware of Kha’s complaint but that the company had “a policy of mutual respect in the workplace. So, there is a bunch of people in a group, they should not speak a language that cuts others out.”

The unidentified youngster, believed to be a pre-teen, was questioned by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigators on October 22, a day after the Buckweed fire started rampaging across 38,000 acres (15,000 hectares) in the Santa Clarita area, 50 km north of downtown Los Angeles.

The boy “admitted that he had been playing with matches” said sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore yesterday.

World’s oldest animal found





British scientists have found a 400-yr old clam, the world’s longest-living animal, off the coast of Iceland, which may reveal the secret of longevity.

The scientists say the discovery of the quahog clam, a bivalve millusc, aged between 405 and 410 years old, might allow them to get a better understanding of the ageing process, as well as revealing the secrets of a long life.

The creature was nicknamed Ming, after the dynasty which ruled China at the beginning of the life.

“When the animal was a juvenile, King James 1 replaced Queen Elizabeth 1 as English monarch. Shakespeare was writing his plays – Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth – and Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake for espousing the view that the sun rather then the earth was the centre of the universe,” Bangor University said in a release.

The scientists calculated the age of the animal by counting the annual growth rings on the shell, a technology similar to that of estimating a tree’s age.
