Childproofing a KitchenBecause parents spend so much time in the kitchen, small childrenwill want to be there with them. To keep your

little one safe, take the following steps:

Store matches, lighters, sharp utensils and household cleaners in a cabinet accessible Only to adults.

Put child-safety latches on all lower-level cabinets.

Unplug appliances when not in use and keep cords out of reach of children.

Never pour hot liquid near a child and never leave hot drinks within reach.

Use the back burners of the stove and turn pot handles toward the back.

Purchase safety features that secure free-standing ovens to the wall.

Watch out for tablecloths - since small children enjoy pulling on the cloth, glasses and plates can fall off.

Keep stools and chairs away from counters and stoves.

Be sure to keep alcohol locked away from children.

Cook meat, eggs, poultry and shellfish thoroughly to prevent food poisoning.

Always wash your hands with soap after handling meat or poultry.

Use a child-safety gate, if possible, in the doorway to keep children out of the kitchen completely when you

are in another room.

Dear Sirs,

Jackie Chan was born on 7 April 1954 in Hong Kong. He was born into a very poor family

and was the only child of Charles and Lee Lee Chan.

His original name was Chan Kong Sang which means born in Hong Kong literally. Jackie

Chans father was a servant in the French Ambassadors house and most of his childhood was

spent in the embassy.

Jackie was not very good at academics so his parents had to send him away to an acting

school. Apparently Jackie did very well in this school and excelled in martial arts and dance. He

also learned singing in this school. Seeing his skills, the school signed him on a ten year contract

to perform in the Chinese Operas where he did very well in lead roles and he also started taking

responsibilities behind the stage in directing. After the contract, knowing about Bruce Lee, Jackie

also wanted to start acting in movies. However, he did not get his much deserved break and so hehad to settle down as a stunt man. He worked as a stunt man for 10 years before he finally got his

break in Hollywood.

After he got his first break in Hollywood in 1980, he soon got other movies like Police

Story series through which he rose to international fame. Project A was another block buster

which got him a lot of mileage. The list of successful movies did not stop here and Jackie went

ahead to become the highest paid actor in Asia. He also acted in several Chinese movies, directed

and even produced movies.
