SYDNEY San Francisco 49ers Jerseys For Sale , April 18 (Xinhua) -- A 17-year-old girl died from a shark attack in Western Australian while surfing with her father, local media reported Tuesday.
The teenager's leg was severely mauled by what is believed to be a great white shark Monday afternoon, which was spotted in the area last week.
Despite being treated at the scene by emergency services and rushed to a nearby hospital in the township of Esperance, the girl died later Monday evening.
The teenager's horrified mother and siblings were also on the beach during the incident and witnessed the attack.
This is the fourth fatal shark attack on the south coast of Western Australia in three years.
There was also a fifth, non-fatal incident in 2014, when a man in Esperance lost both his hands after being mauled.
Shark scientist Colin Simpfendorfer at James Cook University explained to Xinhua that the recent increase in shark attacks are proportional to the rise in the amount of people swimming at Australia's beaches.
"The attacks are happening at about the same rate, but we have more people in the water now so there is greater risk."
"Unfortunately there is only a limited number of things that governments can do and none of them can fully protect people, there is always going to be an inherent risk."
Local authorities have warned people to stay away from the area over the coming days.
"Our advice to water users is not to undertake surfing, swimming or diving activities in the Wylie Bay area for at least the next 48 hours," the Western Australian Department of Fisheries told the West Australian Newspaper.
Business > Small BusinessOvercoming your Home Business Fears

Did you know that all people are natural-born sellers? It's just that not everyone realizes it. The first thing that comes to our mind is the fear of doing a home business. This is because you are in doubt whether you could sell your product or service. Most often, fears of selling come in several forms. Either we worry about not being liked, or being perceived as pushy, we worry that our product or service might not perform as we say or we struggle with the idea of rejection. Knowing the source of your fear (sometimes it can be a combination) is an important part of overcoming your fear of selling.
Next it is important to take action to address the source. In this way, you are taking action to overcome your fear. In some cases, this might mean that you improve your product or service (you can use customer feedback for this), or you can find ways to share your productservice in a way that feels more authentic and natural to you. You can also find ways to "bounce back" after rejection which is easier to do if you don't take "no" personally.
Start small. Very often, people tend to tackle projects much larger than they can comfortably handle. When you want to overcome your fear of selling you should start small. Maybe you will share your new business with a few trusted friends first and then gradually find ways to expand your sharing to include a larger circle. The most successful business people are those who interact with others in an authentic, passionate way so find a way that feels comfortable with you and stay with it.
One other technique to overcome the fear of selling as you go on with your home business is to tap into your passion and enthusiasm for what you are offering. You can make a list of all the really wonderful benefits and successful outcomes of past customers. You can hang this list nearby where you can see it everyday and it will definitely boost your confidence.
Keep track of your successes by keeping a "wins" or success journal nearby and record your achievements in it each day. This will help you stay aware of just how much you do right. We sometimes tend to forget this.
Have fun with it rather than approaching this from a heavy "have to" or "doesn't feel good" perspective. Find a fun, interesting way to share your knowledge or passion.
It is also important to stay focused on your desired outcome. Most people take actions and reach their goals because they stay focused on the benefits of doing so. Sometimes, reminding yourself what you want, why you're doing this can help you take the next action and the next.
And finally keep practicing. Like any other business skill, "selling" gets easier the more you do it. So get out there, start small, and keep practicing!

The secret is out; everyone loves Florida because it is a beautiful place to live. For one of the best places in the state, Tampa is the place. That’s the primary reason many people choose to make this beautiful city their home, and also why homes in Tampa receive great attention. It is true that the historic beauty of this city is a great reason to choose to live here, but there are many other reasons too. One thing is for sure, families containing school children will be assured of finding a good education for them, but still that only some of what brings them here.
Tampa attracts people with high paying jobs as well. While there have been many jobs lost throughout the nation, but there is still reason to cheer when it comes to working in Tampa. New jobs that are being created often offer salaries of $46,000 or more and it looks like that average is going to be going up.
As a matter of fact in 2009 H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute and the pharmaceutical company Merck and Co. created a joint company that is intended to develop drugs to treat cancer. That move has brought 170 jobs to the area, and these bioscience jobs have come with an average salary of $80,000. That means that this one venture in Hillsborough County will bring an additional $1 billion to the economy in the coming years.
