Plane carrying 43 passengers crashes in Siberia

Dozerns are killed when a twin-engine turboprop crashes shortly after taking off near Tyumen, Siberia. Msnbc.com's Dara Brown reports. ?

Updated at 8:24 a.m. ET: MOSCOW -- Thirty-two people were killed?but 11?were rescued alive from a plane crash in Siberia, Russia,?an official reportedly said Monday.

The ATR 72, a twin-engine, turbo-prop plane, with 43 people aboard, crashed some 18 to 22 miles from the western Siberian city of Tyumen, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova said.

The mid-range plane belonging to Russian airline UTair crashed after taking off from Tyumen on a flight to Surgut, an oil town further north in Siberia.

There were 39 passengers and four crew on board, according to preliminary information, Andrianova said.

Russian Emergency Ministry rescuers search the site of the ATR-72 plane crash outside Tyumen, Russia, Monday.

"Eleven people were injured and 32 killed," the Tyumen emergencies ministry said in a statement, according to the AFP news agency.

In a statement, UTair, a?private Russian company, said the flight?plane?crashed "while conducting a forced landing" about a mile from?another airport, Roschino, according to AFP.

Cabin on fire
The news agency said the plane's cabin was on fire when rescuers arrrived. The cause of the crash was not immediately known, Russian news agencies reported.

Injured survivors were flown to hospital by helicopter. At least five survivors were in critical condition, state-run RIA news agency reported, citing hospital officials in Tyumen, some 1,070 miles east of Moscow.

UTair has three ATR-72 craft made by the French-Italian manufacturer ATR, according to the airline's website.

Russian news agency RIA Novosti published what it said were images of the crash scene.

ATR is an equal partnership between two major European aeronautics players, Alenia Aermacchi, a Finmeccanica company, and EADS.

The crash was the deadliest air disaster in Russia since a Yak-42 plane crashed into a riverbank near the city of Yaroslavl after takeoff on September 7, 2011, killing 44 people and wiping out the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team.

President Dmitry Medvedev called for a reduction in the number of Russian airlines and improvements in crew training after that crash, which followed a June crash that killed 47 people including a navigator who had been drinking.

A statement from ATR? confirmed the fatalities, adding: "The aircraft, registered under VP-BYZ, was MSN (Manufacturing Serial Number) 332, initially delivered from the production line in October 1992. UTair had been operating this aircraft since August 2008."

It said the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) would lead the investigation and provide official information, and expressed its "deepest sympathy" to the victims and their families and friends.

Reuters and NBC News producer Jay Blackman contributed to this report.

Hair Loss Treatment: The Connection between Hair Loss and ...

While most physicians recommend vitamin B for hair loss treatment, a recent study revealed a connection between hair loss and vitamin D deficiency.

In the said research, vitamin D is believed to have a great impact in the quality of the hair. However, the researchers did not conclude that vitamin D supplementation will lead to hair regrowth.

What Is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids bone growth and calcium absorption. Calcium is essential in the production of healthier hair strands. In fact, deficiency of calcium may cause hair dryness leading to damaged hair, or worse, hair loss and hair thinning problems.

Research Study on Mice

An article published in the medical journal Endocrinology revealed the results of a clinical test done on mice which were hereditarily programmed to be hairless.

In the said clinical test, vitamin D3 analogs were found to help stimulate hair growth in the hairless mice.

The researchers revealed that the vitamin D3 compounds stimulated the formation of normal hair follicles in mice that would otherwise not grow any hair. With that, many scientists and hair experts believed that this clinical test could pave the way for a potential hair loss treatment of the future.

Potential

As of this very moment, scientists and researchers differ in opinions regarding the connection between vitamin D and hair loss. Others believe that a deficiency of vitamin D can contribute to hair loss while others think otherwise.

The bottom line, however, is that much work is needed to discover how this vitamin affects the health of the hair.

Scientists and researches need to dig deeper in order to see the potential of vitamin D in hair loss treatment, since some points of the study were not entirely clear.

Sources of Vitamin D

Exposure to direct sunlight boosts vitamin D in our bodies. However, other sources of vitamin D are foods like salmon, milk, tuna, cereal, pork, egg, mushroom, beef liver, and Ricotta cheese.

Continue On Your Business Strategy Plan To Ensure Success

Article by Troy G. Nunez

Truly serious businesses typically prepare a business plan in advance of seeking growth capital. The catch is that a great many business owners neglect to continue with the original business growth plan through the lifetime of the business.

Grab that old strategic business plan and use it now

Getting funds is actually a pivotal purpose of any business strategy, however a well structured plan can provide the business founder a great many other positive aspects. It can help him / her truthfully judge her own objectives and provide a framework for tactical decision making and performance supervising while in implementation.

What is the recommended structure for a strategic business plan?

I would recommend a rolling 3 year plan using twelve-monthly refreshes. Plan groundwork requires both strategic and business planning procedures and it?s vital that the actual owner is thoroughly included in both operations. The strategic planning procedure ensures that the organization is competing in a market place in which it can be viable. It includes exploration of things both external and internal to the venture.

The internal analysis examines the prerequisites of the company owner, his / her knowledge and values, and the resources she has at their disposal. The external study takes into account potential consumer needs and plausible threats from competitors or any other external events. This specific strategic plan defines the business objective, the owner?s ideals, along with the marketplace and niche the organization will compete in. It also looks at who will be its clients, which of their requirements will be satisfied and, very broadly, what it needs to put into practice to fulfill them. This may also suggest how the founder should modify their presumptions and/or develop innovative skills prior to start-up.

A strategic platform for your company is paramount for financial success!

The strategic plan is then evolved into a business plan, which describes in detail how the business will capture the competitive edge accessible to it inside the established market. It needs to include approaches for marketing, operations, human resource supervision and financial procedures.

The marketing strategy will illustrate how the small business will keep its ongoing clients and also attract new clients.

The operations strategy will show you the work of the company ? what it it will do to provide the products or services required by its consumers ? and the assets it will make use of to achieve this.

The human resource strategy will suggest how your company will attract, grow, motivate and retain people, along with the manager.

The financial strategy will anticipate earnings from sales and specify how the price of working the business will be financed e.g. by lending options or profits.

Your company plan needs to include indicators for monitoring performance at regular monthly or quarterly periods. These shouldn?t get confined to signals to all round successes of the company ? by the time yearly indicators present weak performance, your company is undoubtedly in considerable trouble. Therefore, the advantages of early warning indicators is crucial ? enabling remedial steps to be utilized before the organization goes downhill.

The next phase of your company becoming successful is to commence with an expert top quality logo design. You won?t need to spend a fortune with this. In fact you can purchase a cheap logo design that looks like any good sized company brand from any good customized logo contest website.
