Japan traces Boeing 787 problem to improper wiring, report says

Japan?s investigation into a burning lithium-ion battery aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner flight found it was improperly wired, according to an Associated Press report.

The country?s Transport Safety Board had been looking into the circumstances that led the All Nippon Airways flight to make an emergency landing in southwestern Japan.

All 137 passengers and crew were evacuated from the aircraft and slid down the Dreamliner's emergency slides. Video of the event captured by a passenger has been viewed worldwide.

According to the AP, the Transport Safety Board?s report said ?the battery of the aircraft's auxiliary power unit was incorrectly connected to the main battery that overheated, although a protective valve would have prevented power from the APU from doing damage.?

More analysis was still needed, the report said.

The announcement was the latest update of the safety investigation into the 787 after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration grounded the aircraft Jan. 16 following two incidents within two weeks involving the batteries.

The technology was also implicated in a Jan. 6 fire aboard a parked 787 in Boston operated by Japan Airlines. The National Transportation Safety Board is still probing the root cause of the event, but said this month that investigators had found a short circuit in one of the aircraft?s batteries.

Boeing has delivered 50 787s to eight airlines worldwide. Six of the planes are owned by United Airlines -- the only U.S. carrier that has 787s in its fleet.

Boeing said that it is unable to comment on the Transportation Safety Board's findings, "as it is part of the investigation in Japan."

Washington considers extending divorce waiting period to one year

US legislators in Washington state are considering the introduction of a one-year waiting period to finalise divorce.

Couples in the state are currently required to wait 90 days before a divorce can be ratified. But Republican senator Don Benton believes a significantly longer one year waiting period would have social benefits. He said:

?Increasing the waiting time for dissolution will be beneficial to families of our state and certainly will be beneficial to taxpayers of our state.?

Supporters of Senate Bill 5614 say it would encourage reconciliation and cut the number of divorces in the state, also reducing the burden on welfare and social services.

Opponents, meanwhile, claim the proposed legislation is too proscriptive. Democratic senator Adam Kline said:

?We?re talking about adults here. They have the opportunity for counselling without us having to force it on them.?

The so-called Family Second Chance Act was heard by the Washington Senate Law and Justice Committee on Friday. It would exempt marriages associated with violence or sexual offences.

&#39;Don&#39;t act German or conform to German ways&#39; - The Local

In the latest instalment of My German Career, The Local spoke with Canadian business training expert Jason Chan about navigating Germany's job market and sticking to your guns in a foreign environment.

Like many expats, Jason Chan chose to live abroad for love. The 35-year-old from Toronto met his German wife while they were both living in Hong Kong and decided to move together eight years ago. He now calls Bavaria home, has two children and works for a consultancy firm where he is an education and training expert. But he first cracked the German labour market by getting a TEFL qualification, a master's degree and teaching English.

Where are you located and what do you do?

I live in Erlangen with my German wife and two children but at the moment I am in China. I work for a German consultancy based in Frankfurt specialising in micro-lending. My official title is ?Education and Training Expert? which involves running training sessions at local Chinese financial institutes.

What brought you to Germany and how long have you been here?

Love. I met my German wife in Hong Kong about eight years ago and we decided to come to Germany instead of going home to Toronto.

How did you land your job?

I started out like many people here teaching English freelance, then I decided to get CELTA and LCCI DTBE certified, after that I went for my master's degree in Education while I was employed full-time at (electronics chain) Media-Saturn as the senior training specialist. Then it was the turning point in my career because after a few years I decided that it is time to leave the TEFL field and go into other areas of training. So I applied for and got a job at Mango as the training manager for DACH. Although the experience was short it gave me the confidence to pursue other training positions, which eventually led to my current employment.

Do you have tips for anyone seeking similar work and is it important to speak German in your position?

I don't have to speak German but it does help to build rapport with my German co-workers. Tips-wise, I think credentials are quite important here, I think without any certificates or degrees it might be difficult to land a job. Also, what I always try to do during the interview and recruitment process is be myself. I never try to act German and conform to the German ways, because I could never be as German as a local so I might as well sell myself as different. If they like it fine, if not, then that is not a good match anyways. Take it or leave it, that has always been my attitude job hunting in Germany.

What are the key differences practising your profession here and your home country?

In Canada and Hong Kong I was in a completely different industry. I worked in film production before so I can?t really compare.

What are the best and worst parts about working in Germany?

The best thing about working in Germany I find is the matter-of-fact attitude. Everything is more or less black and white, as compared to working in China where there is so much grey area. I honestly don?t have anything bad to say about working in Germany.

Do you plan on staying?

We bought a little house a couple of years ago and the kids love it here, so my guess is that I will be here for a few more years!
