Pesticide Spray Puts 500+ Cambodia Garment Workers
in Hospital
More than 500 workers at a garment factory in Phnom
Penh are reported to have been taken ill after being exposed to a chemical spray.
According to local reports, workers at the South Korean owned Willbes Cambodia Ltd factory were sent
to local hospitals after complaining of dizziness and even fainting.
A chemical pesticide used in the company's warehouse and a lack of adequate ventilation were
blamed.

New Zealand Continues
Tariff Freeze
Plans by the New Zealand government to continue the freeze on unilateral tariff reductions by
postponing its tariff review for another four years have been welcomed as "a victory for common sense."
Trade Minister Tim Groser and Commerce Minister Simon Power said the country will not consider the
unilateral reduction of any tariffs until 2015 at
the earliest.
The National Distribution Union, which represents workers in the textile, clothing and footwear
industries, has been lobbying against a unilateral reduction on New Zealand's tariffs for many years.
"Given the Thailand, China and ASEAN 'free' trade agreements allow NZ to continue with tariffs on TCF
[textile, clothing and footwear] imports until 2016, it is sensible that any unilateral
elimination of tariffs by NZ does not occur before this date," said the union's general secretary,
Robert Reid.
"This will give companies ten more years from 2006 to adjust to zero tariffs as first proposed by the
National Party."

Dead Last
Last year I entered the New York City Marathon. The race started and immediately I was the last of the runners. It was embarrassing.
The guy who was in front of me, second to last, was making fun of me. He said, “Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?”
I replied: “You really want to know?”
Then I dropped out of the race.

Gas Mask Bra Wins
Ig Nobel
A woman's bra which in an emergency can double as a pair of gas masks has won one of the awards handed out at the prestigious Harvard
University for the year's most eccentric research.
The Ig Nobels, a tongue-in-cheek homage to their Scandinavian counterparts, were announced just days before the Nobel committee in Stockholm began awarding its prestigious awards.
The bra that can be turned into two protective face masks — one for the wearer and the other for whoever else may need one — won its inventors Elena Bodnar, Raphael Lee and Sandra Marijan of Chicago the Public Health award.
The patent states that each of the bra's cup sections is fitted with a filter device, meaning the wearer can whip it off, and detach each section to fit it over the face.
Another Ig Nobel for Chemistry went to three researchers at the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico — Javier Morales, Miguel Apatiga and Victor Castano — for creating diamonds out of tequila.
The literature prize at Thursday's ceremony went to the Irish police for writing out more than 50 traffic tickets to one Prawo Jazdy, whose name in Polish means "driver's
license."
Stephan Bollinger and other doctors at the University of Bern in Switzerland received the peace prize for demonstrating that empty beer bottles are more likely to crack heads in a bar-room brawl than full ones.
The Veterinary Medicine prize was conferred on two researchers from Newcastle University in Britain who discovered that cows with names produce more milk.
The Igs, as they are known, are chosen by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine to highlight scientific achievements that according to its website "first make people laugh and then make them think."
2010 Penthouse Lingerie Line
Available in November!
Coquette International Inc. is preparing to launch their 2010 Penthouse Lingerie Line on November 1st 2009. While their previous Penthouse Collections: Sweet Pet, Naughty Pet and Lingerie Classics remain available, they have chosen to expand the Sexy Pet and Wild Pet Collections due to high demand. A total of ten different outfits have been added and were on display recently at the International Lingerie Show (ILS) in Las Vegas, NV.
The 2010 Sexy Pet Collection has added five new & invigorating styles which incorporate the same fun cherry print fabric. “Burlesque ruffle panties are extremely trendy right now, so we added the playful cherry print to compliment the vibrant red ruffles,” Catherine Horea, Executive VP of Coquette stated. The Sexy Pet ruffle booty shorts can be worn with any garment in this collection. “The best part about Penthouse Lingerie is that each garment can be mixed and matched within the collections. This allows you to create your own unique styles while remaining budget friendly,” Horea added.
The highlights of the 2010 Wild Pet Collection are the leopard print and wetlook padded underwire bra with zipper detailing on the cups, along with matching skirt featuring front zipper detailing (style P4463). “The zippers really add the extra edge to the Wild Pet collection,” Horea commented, “It also allows you to reveal as much as you like without taking the garment off!” The Wild Pet Collection has also introduced a sexy bustier, featuring gathered wetlook trim and satin ribbon lace-up sides.
Penthouse Lingerie was designed to add a fun and flirty new flair to traditional lingerie, and has a total of five collections: Lingerie Classics, Sweet Pet, Naughty Pet, Sexy Pet and Wild Pet. For further information regarding the 2010 Penthouse Lingerie Line visit:
