USA: video of Navy sonar damaging killer whales
Posted on May 3, 2007 by petrel41
Off the coast of Argentina, seasoned killer whales hunt sea lion pups.
From National Geographic in the USA:
May 2, 2007—When the killer whales of Washington State's Puget Sound began vanishing, a biologist had to get an earful from the U.S. Navy to pick up clues to the mystery (Washington map).
Using supersensitive microphones, Ken Balcomb has been eavesdropping on the region's resident killer whales, also known as orcas.
Unlike their transient brethren, these animals spend their entire lives in the sound.
But Balcomb's years of research unveiled a disturbing trend: Mature orcas were disappearing in the prime of their lives, and no one knew why.
Then, when his equipment was blasted by a cacophony from a passing Navy vessel, Balcomb suspected he'd found at least one piece of the puzzle.
Watch the Puget Sound orcas in action [on video], and hear what the biologist and an expert at the Office of Naval Research have to say about sonar's impacts on marine mammals.

Looking for clues to save a species
Researchers hope to learn about diet, genetic history of killer whales
Larry Pynn, Vancouver Sun
Published: Monday, July 09, 2007
There are days when Brad Hanson figures he's the guy with the shovel walking behind an elephant parade and not a federal researcher of killer whales.
As head of a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) study into the contents of killer whale feces, he confirms they come in varying shapes, consistencies and sizes.
"We're poop and scoop," Hanson jokes in an interview. "It can actually be fairly difficult to collect because it's very diffuse, a brownish cloud often. Sometimes it's stringy and sometimes it floats."
It gets worse. His study also looks for mucus and vomit, including bones and fish scales — anything floating on the surface that can be used to extract DNA and provide insight into the diet, genetic history, and hormonal stress levels of endangered southern resident killer whales.
Whales are thought to excrete mucus through their blow hole, he said, perhaps part of a respiratory infection. "Mucus is essentially white cells, chuck full of killer whale DNA," he said.
Collecting it is gut-wrenching work. "It usually takes a lot to disgust a biologist. But we had one, like a quart jar of this green…how this whale managed to . . . it was pretty disgusting."
The study, in collaboration with non-profit Cascadia Research Collective of Olympia, is part of a growing body of research on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border aimed at collecting information on the natural history of the whales as part of recovery plans to save the species.
Knowing what the whales eat is a basic component of the recovery effort, with the research results having implications for sport, commercial, and native fisheries should they be required to limit their lucrative salmon catches to benefit the whales.
In a world of increasingly sophisticated technology, Hanson skims his samples off the ocean surface using a simple net used to clean swimming pools, extending it from the bow of a six-metre motorized inflatable craft used to follow the whales.
Hanson's research began in the fall of 2004 and is continuing this summer. Analyzing the results and distinguishing not just one prey from the other, but one closely related killer whale from the other, is difficult and laborious work, yielding only general findings to date.
What Hanson can say is that killer whales prefer chinook — the largest of the salmon species — when it's available, moving to chum as the chinook runs decline in falls. When salmon is absent, the whales can also eat groundfish.
Not one of the 150 samples to date has shown evidence of sockeye, despite the millions that migrate through.
"They're picky about the salmon they eat," he said, noting his research supports the findings of a more limited killer whale study of fish scales and tissues in recent years by B.C. whale scientist John Ford.
Why sockeye are not caught — perhaps because of swimming depth or schooling behaviour — is open to debate. "Just because the species is there, doesn't mean it is available," Hanson noted. "Can they catch them easily?"
The fact that salmon eaten by the whales in the San Juan Islands are largely bound for B.C's Fraser River system highlights the need for international cooperation to save the whales.
Whale Watch Operators Association Northwest, an organization representing commercial whale-watch vessels in B.C. and Washington, working with government agencies, has already adopted voluntary guidelines to limit disturbance of the killer whales. The guidelines apply to commercial and private boaters, including kayakers.
Among the key guidelines: keep at least 100 metres/yards from the whales and do not leap-frog or otherwise block their path; reduce speed to less than seven knots within 400 metres/yards of a whale; shut off sonar, depth sounders, fish finders and other underwater transducers when in the vicinity of whales; limit viewing time to 30 minutes for any one particular group of whales.
Currently, prosecutions for disturbing whales in the U.S. and Canada are rare.
Corey Mendoza, a boater from Stanwood, Wash., was fined $450 US for gross misdemeanor for violating state wildlife laws after he drove his boat at high speed toward the killer whales last year, chasing them and repeatedly blocking their escape.
Jim Maya, a guide from San Juan Island, was fined $6,500 in Duncan Provincial Court in 2004 for disturbing killer whales by following within 30 metres of a pod for three to five minutes off North Pender Island. A Victoria-based whale watch captain, Gerry Fossum, was also fined $6,500 for disturbing killer whales on the same day.
Whale-watching guidelines are expected to get some teeth as both nations adopt recovery plans for the southern resident killer whales, numbering fewer than 90 individuals in three pods — J, K, and L — compared with more than 200 threatened northern resident killer whales in 16 pods.
San Juan County already has a ban on personal water craft — often known as Jet Skis, after one manufacturer — to protect marine life and peacefulness in the archipelago. The county is also considering its own whale protection regulations.
Canada's proposed recovery plan, released last month, for the southern resident and northern resident killer whales, recognizes the need to protect critical habitat, ensure an "adequate and accessible food supply," reduce harmful pollutants in the ocean, and manage physical and acoustic disturbance from vessel traffic.
The recovery strategy is posted at http://www.sararegistry.gc.ca/plans/timelines_e.cfm for public comment.
Marilyn Joyce, marine mammal coordinator for federal fisheries, confirmed Canadian researchers and managers are working closely with their U.S. counterparts on a common approach to saving the whales.
The whale-watch guidelines are part of that, as well as the designation of stewardship boats — Soundwatch in Washington, and Straitwatch in B.C. — to monitor whale-watch activities and educate boaters.
NOAA proposed its own wide-ranging recovery plan last November in which the agency estimated $15 million US would be pumped into whale research over the next five years, with $50 million US expected to be spent to recover the population over almost 30 years. Canada could produce no comparative figures.
Some argue the U.S. plan still doesn't go far enough, and continues to mix politics with science.
Val Veirs, president of board of directors of The Whale Museum on San Juan Island, said NOAA's definition of critical habitat excludes military sites and waters less than than six metres deep. Shorelines are known to represent important habitat for prey species, but are also where human activities are concentrated.
Veirs also worries that the recovery plan offers no protection for habitat in outside waters where the whales are known to travel in winter.
The U.S. recovery plan also urges that "land-based viewing of killer whales should be advocated as a way for the public to see and enjoy the animals without the impact of boat viewing."
There is no better place for land-based viewing than Lime Kiln Point State Park on the west coast of San Juan Island facing Haro Strait and Greater Victoria.
Proof of the park's outstanding location: killer whales made 44 passes alongside the park between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. from May 20 to July 1 this year. That's up from 41 passes during the same time in 2006, 40 per cent of them within 100 metres of the shoreline. The park logged almost 180,000 visitors last year.
The park's lighthouse, built in 1919 on the rocky shoreline bluffs, is home to researchers recording the interaction of whales and boaters within a study area measuring one-half mile wide by one mile long.
On Canada Day, July 1, researchers counted 43 commercial and private whale-watching boats from Canada and the U.S. combined within the study area plus another 25 outside the zone.
Dan Kukat, president of Whale Watch Operators Association Northwest, said B.C. and Washington whale-watch operators take 350,000 to 400,000 passengers annually to see the southern resident killer whales.
Several thousand more see them on their own private boats.
"The number of boats is an issue," confirmed Robert Otis, a psychology professor from Wisconsin's Ripon College who spends his summers here. "There really is a sense the boats are a negative factor in the whales' life."
He hopes to do follow-up research with the boating community, including trying to get at least a hazy sense of how people are positively influenced by seeing a whale up close.
"Boats provide an educational platform," he confirmed. "It may be better than we can provide on shore."
There can be little doubt that whale-watching is enhanced by viewing from the water in the whales' habitat, even more so by going on your own in a vulnerable ocean kayak.
Kayaking is as easy as launching from San Juan County campground, just north of Lime Kiln park, as soon as you see a whale or a whale-watch boat — a certain tipoff — just offshore.
Just don't expect a pristine experience unless perhaps you are there during the week or evening.
On a sunny weekend afternoon, this reporter ventured out for a paddle just as a half dozen whales from J pod became fully surrounded by paddlers and motorized vessels, the inboard engine from one commercial operator by far the loudest as it droned alongside the whales on a parallel track.
"It's a feeding frenzy," remarked another paddler, Gus Stuyt of New Westminster, staying two nights at the county campground. "Hard to believe that it's not harassment."
Tough to disagree. Then a lone adult whale breaks the sparkling ocean surface straight ahead, emits a blast of seawater from its blow hole, and rolls to its side and out of sight.
A female with a young also approaches from the near distance, diving in tandem, and emerging 150 metres later on the other side of the kayaks.
Near shore another whale spy hops — pokes its head after the surface and takes a look around.
Soon the whales have moved on, the press of boats dissipates, and observers are left only with smiles in the wake of a world-class wildlife experience at our very doorstep.

Six Sigma and EFQM Comparison, Similarities and Differences: A critical analysis by a practitioner
Fawzi A. Bawab | Partner
Which is better to use in an organization? Should I use Six Sigma or EFQM in my organization? A common question received in my training and coaching sessions. There is no one answer. Allow me to clarify.
Six Sigma is a disciplined and data-driven methodology that is meant for eliminating defects in every process whether manufacturing or service. A defect is any perceived deviation outside customer specifications. Defects are eliminated by targeting to achieve six standard deviations between the nearest specification limit and the mean. Hence a Six Sigma level is achieved where a process may create not more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities (Pyzdek and Keller 2014, p. 25).
What is EFQM?
European Foundation For Quality Management (EFQM) is a management model that provides a framework for gaining a holistic view of an organization irrespective of its sector, size or maturity. EFQM model lets managers comprehend the cause and effect relationships between the elements of their organization and the results delivered (Suárez, Roldán and Calvo-Mora 2014, p. 862). EFQM foundation was established on the premise that all organizations strive to succeed. However, many of them fail, and only a few realize sustainable success. The foundation was, therefore, formed to provide guidance to organizations to achieve excellence and sustainable success (Suárez et al. 2014, p. 863). Sustainable success is realized through three integrated components; Fundamental Concepts of Excellence (FCE), the Model Criteria (MC) and the RADAR Logic (Suárez et al. 2017, p. 36). FCE identifies the underlying principles forming the basis for attaining organizational sustainable excellence while MC establishes a framework to assist the organization to convert FCE and RADAR into practice. RADAR Logic, on the other hand, is a structured management tool for ensuring organizational performance.
As you may have noticed there are some similarities and differences between Six Sigma and the EFQM Model. It has been established through research that Six Sigma and EFQM share some similarities. In their 2017 study, Gómez, Costa, and Lorente (p. 89) found that Six Sigma and EFQM have three similar features; both are continuous improvement tools, both rely on top management for successful implementation and that both require a lot of time and resources to be successfully implemented. Organizations utilize both Six Sigma and EDQM models as tools for seeking continuous and sustainable improvement. Companies continue to work hard and improve towards attaining the sigma level of 3.4 defects. Similarly, EFQM is persistently updated with best practices that have been tested for organizational improvement (Gómez et al. 2017, p. 92). Also, the implementation of Six Sigma and EFQM is dependent upon the commitment of top management. Both models require top management to foresee and facilitate successful implementation through leadership and support by allocating resources. Furthermore, Gómez et al. (2017) established that the implementation processes for both Six Sigma and EFQM may be costly and time-consuming. Both models require thorough training of staff, and they would take a long time before the investment pays back in the form of realized organizational improvement.
Six Sigma and EFQM models have also been found to differ. Dahlgaard et al. (2013) found that the two models differ in approach, focus, and strategy. While Six Sigma approaches continuous improvement through eliminating causes that lead to variations in the processes, EFQM applies best practices to realize sustainable excellence. Also, Six Sigma focuses on individual projects within the organization as it seeks to improve processes, while EFQM focuses on a holistic approach of the entire organization rather than individual projects. Lastly, Dahlgaard et al. (2013) established that while Six Sigma strategizes to minimize scrap and rework by focusing on individual processes, EFQM strategizes to improve the overall quality of the management system.
In summary, in as much as both Six Sigma and EFQM models seem to compare in the objective of continuous improvement, reliance on top management for effective implementation and the costly and time-consuming nature, the two models still differ in approach, focus and strategies undertaken towards realizing successful organizational improvement. One can argue that Six Sigma could be an excellent approach to deploy in organizations that already have EFQM.

I have been doing my show on cruise ships for the last 10 years of my career.
That has given me the opportunity to visit almost 55 countries all around the world doing my show in amazing theatres for thousands and thousands of spectators. What a treat!
Last year the company Royal Caribbean launched their newest cruise ship: THE HARMONY OF THE SEAS.
Becoming the biggest cruise ship in the planet. You should see that in person! It is totally breath taking!
I was honored to be the first resident entertainer and the first illusionist performing on such a beauty for some months. Have a look at the pictures, isn't that theatre gorgeous?? And it is at sea!
Enjoy this video to understand my excitement!

the mike reilly band "Reilly's Road"
I'm very excited to announce that I have assembled a crew of "Enlightened Rogues" to perform the music of what has inspired me since the age of 13, a tribute to the Allman Brothers Band called Ridin South.
Mike Reilly grew up in Fullerton, California during the sixties and seventies. He remembers the night his father, Robert, a Fullerton cop (and guitarist who used to jam with Django Reinhardt), accidentally busting up his drum kit. To replace the drums, his dad bought his nine year-old son a trombone. Musically precocious, in no time Mike was second chair in the school orchestra.

[6]COMMENT: The latest jihadi attack in Brussels reminds us of a poem by Robinson Jeffers–"Be Angry at the Sun."
That public men publish falsehoods
Is nothing new. That America must accept
Like the historical republics corruption and empire
Has been known for years.
Be angry at the sun for setting
If these things anger you. Watch the wheel slope and turn,
They are all bound on the wheel, these people, those warriors.
This republic, Europe, Asia.
Observe them gesticulating,
Observe them going down. The gang serves lies, the passionate
Man plays his part; the cold passion for truth
Hunts in no pack.
You are not Catullus, you know,
To lampoon these crude sketches of Caesar. You are far
From Dante's feet, but even farther from his dirty
Political hatreds.
Let boys want pleasure, and men
Struggle for power, and women perhaps for fame,
And the servile to serve a Leader and the dupes to be duped.
Yours is not theirs.
Muslim Brotherhood Coat of (ahem) Arms
In many recent programs, we have highlighted the use of Muslim Brotherhood Islamic fascists as proxy warriors and soldiers for corporatist economics in various parts of The Earth Island. (Among those are: FTR #'s 862 [8], 863 [9], 878 [10], 879 [11], 880 [12], 884 [13], 885 [14], 886 [15].) We are also presenting [16] a series of programs [17] detailing Fara Mansoor's landmark research about the George H.W. Bush faction's installation of the Shiite Islamic fundamentalist government in Iran.)
Once again, the world is "shocked, shocked" at the Brussels attacks, when–once again–the ongoing strategic use of Islamic fascists blows back on the West. The frustration [18] of Operation Green Quest [18], which revealed the profound links [19] between the Bush/Grover Norquist/Karl Rove [20] milieu and the funding [21] of Muslim Brotherhood-linked terrorists [22] involved in the 9/11 attacks set the stage for other lethal blowback incidents from the use of Brotherhood proxies. The downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 [23] and the Boston Marathon Bombing [24] appear to be among those blowback incidents.
The Syrian bloodbath stems from the use [25] of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda-linked combatants backed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar by elements of CIA to remove the Assad regime in Syria. ISIS [12] is a direct outgrowth of the so-called Arab Spring and the Syrian covert "op."
An examination of the Muslim Brotherhood in Belgium highlights the profound presence of that organization there, its infilatration of government and civil society and links between its leadership and the milieu [26] of the Bank al-Taqwa [27] and Youssef Nada [28]. Al-Taqwa cements the Nazi/Islamist [29] relationship that is at the heart of the power group we have analyzed.
Do not fail to note that the milieu of the Brussels bombers [30] may have been targeting nuclear power plants in that country and that ISIS may be looking to go nuclear.
1. "The Muslim Brotherhood in Belgium" by Steve Merley; Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Watch; 4/14/2008. [31]
… A 2002 report by the Intelligence Committee of the Belgian Parliament explained how the Brotherhood operates in Belgium:
"The State Security Service has been following the activities of the International Muslim Brotherhood in Belgium since 1982. The International Muslim Brotherhood has had a clandestine structure for nearly 20 years. The identity of the members is secret; they operate in the greatest discretion. They seek to spread their ideology within the Islamic community of Belgium and they aim in particular at the young people of the second and third generation of immigrants. In Belgium as in other European countries, they try to take control of the religious, social, and sports associations and establish themselves as privileged interlocutors of the national authorities in order to manage Islamic affairs. The Muslim Brotherhood assumes that the national authorities will be pressed more and more to select Muslim leaders for such management and, in this context, they try to insert within the representative bodies, individuals influenced by their ideology. With this purpose, they were very actively involved in the electoral process to carry out the election of the members of the chief body for the management of Islam in Belgium. Another aspect of this strategy is to cause or maintain tensions by positing that a Muslim or Islamic association is a victim of Western values, hence the affair over the Muslim headscarf in public schools. . . . ."
…. A January 2007 article posted on the Internet describes a Bassem Hatahet as a member of the FIOE [a Brotherhood affiliate in Belgium]. He is 43-years old and was born in Damascus, Syria, where he likely still has relatives. Various sources list a residential address for Mr. Hatahet in northwest central Brussels.
Security sources in Belgium describe Mr. Hatahet as the most important Muslim Brotherhood figure in Belgium, and a Bassem Hatahet was listed in a 1999 phonebook belonging to Youssef Nada, a self-described leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who was designated by the U.S. in 2002 as a terrorism financier. . . .
. . . . Far more successful have been the Belgian-based components of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE), particularly the Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations (FEMYSO), which have managed to achieve official status at the UN, as well as with the Council of Europe and the European Commission. In addition, the location of the FIOE national office in Brussels has resulted in elevating the status of the Belgian branch that recently reported becoming "very active." Leading the FIOE office in Brussels is Bassem Hatahet, whose name appears on virtually all of the paperwork associated with the Muslim Brotherhood organizations in Belgium.
This would appear to confirm Mr. Hatahet's role as the most important figure in the Belgian Brotherhood as reported by the Belgian security services. . . .
. . . . 4. The Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations (FEMYSO)
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Brussels, FEMYSO is the youth and student division of FIOE and will be discussed later in this report. . . . .
Hadia Himmat is the former FEMYSO Vice President and likely the daughter of Ali Ghaleb Himmat, long-time head of the IGD and Mr. El- Zayat's predecessor and close associate of Youssef Nada, the "foreign minister" for the International Muslim Brotherhood and also a former member of the IGD. . . .
[32]2. "Muslim Brotherhood Affiliation of Belgian Brotherhood Leader Confirmed;" Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Watch; 9/18/2012. [33]
…The website of the Syrian National Council, the umbrella group representing the opposition to the regime of Syrian President Assad, confirms the Muslim Brotherhood affiliation of one of its members as first reported [34] by the GMBDW in 2008. The SNC website identifies [35] Bassem Hatahet as a member if its "Muslim Brotherhood Alliance." Mr. Hatahet was identified as a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Belgium by a 2008 NEFA Foundation report [36] . . . .

* Cooking these meats completely kills most of the fungus, however, cold cuts will begin to grow the fungus again and after a few days the cold meats contain the fungus again.
* Tobacco is bad regardless of how used except for when using tobacco leaves as the American Indian Medicine Man uses it. They use it as a poultice to draw our poisons out of the body, cure some skin infections and prevent infection from developing in cuts.
5) Peanuts & Cashews contain over 27 different strains of fungus...(high levels of cancer causing fungus).
Note: Jimmy Carter's family has a high incidence of cancer.
* Peanuts baked in baked goods - kills most of the fungus. Peanuts are not wise to eat raw, peanut butter has been tested and different fungus strains have been found in peanut butter.
* You should only eat meat that has been throughly cooked so that there is not "pink" meat showing. Cooking kills most of the fungi and the body can deal with this small amount of up to 8 ounces daily of any meat. Actually, eating 8 ounces or less of any meat daily is more healthful for many reasons.
* The least of these in fungus is 1% or 2% milk. Heating cheese to be used in macaroni kills most of the fungus. Cold cheese is loaded with the fungus, especially if it has been sitting for sometime. Cottage Cheese is loaded with the fungus. The immune system of the body can handle small amounts of 1% or 2% milk and heated cheese daily. Yogurt as long as it is made from "live" cultures is fine to eat. As a matter of fact, it is "good" bacteria that actually kills the "bad" bacteria such as yeast in the body. However, eating too much can also have negative effects. Up to 6 ounces a day is fine.
* Cooking potatoes kills most of the fungus/mycotoxins, however refrigerating will breed the fungus. Cold Potato salad that has been refrigerated is not healthy! Please note, storing does not mean purchasing them and storing them for use in a cool/dark place. Do not store them in a refrigerator. It may help them to last longer, however, the fungus will breed in colder temperatures to survive. However, the longer they are even stored in a cool/dark place like a kitchen cupboard, the more fungus will breed. It is when potatoes have been refrigerated after cooking that the fungus will begin to grow again. A baked potato is actually very healthy to eat, low in fat and the glycemic index. White potatoes have received a bad rap since most diets say stay away from "white foods." Now if you pile up the butter and sour cream on a baked potato you are defeating the purpose. Sweet potatos and yams are even better, but again, cook them, boiled or baked, but do not eat them raw or store them after cooking for this will begin the fungus breeding process.
13) Sugar including honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, rice syrup, barley malt etc. promtote the growth of pleomorphic bacteria, yeast, fungus, and mold and suppress the immune system response up to five hours.
* Unless you use these in cooking or baking which kills most of the fungus, it is not wise to use these as sweetners in drinks or drink products containing them. You should avoid all fruit juices containing corn syrup as the sweetener.
* Small amounts of caffeine in tea or coffee is good for the body and the immune system can deal with this. When you drink more than two cups of coffee a day, you are exposing yourself to large amounts of the fungus.
* Cooking kills most of the fungus. Eating raw fish such as in sushi is dangerous. There have been deaths caused from eating raw fish sush as in sushi. Never eat cold or refrigerated fish. Anchovies are loaded with the fungus as well as most canned fish meats. Tuna is fine because it has low fungus which the body can deal with in small amounts. Eating tuna packed in water is the best, however limit the amount to less than 4 ounces a day. Tuna and other types of fishes are known to carry mercury, PCB's and other contaminants. Never eat farm raised fish like farm raised salmon or trout. Farm raised fish are loaded with bacteria due to the small areas they are raised in and are often fed hormones to make them grow faster.
20) Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils as in margarine, shortenings and vegetable oils are altered fat substances which are known to be detrimental to health because they interfere with normal biochemical processes. These oils have been shown to increase cholesterol, decrease beneficial high-density lipoprotein (HDL) interfere with our liver's detoxification system, and interfere with essential fatty acid function.
I apologize this is 100% OVERKILL, Some good points,however every person is different and therefore as for myself 4 yrs Kidney.I avoid Pomegrante,Grapefruit,and well No Pig,No Red Meat,No Alcohol,No Tobacco,and well Wood Allen Diet and Lifestyle..Check labs and life safely.Works for me.Enjoy Life and always keep in mind you only have 1 kidney so protect it.
We all must follow our own path. I cannot ignore the research in this article and continually try to improve my diet for the better.
Thank goodness you did not list baby back ribs and fries!! That's my occasional "comfort food" meal.
While some of this information is still accurate - studies from more than 5 years ago are not necessarily thought to be current. There have been so many discoveries since :) Science is pretty amazing!
Please tell me what you know that is different. I am all ears and willing to learn.

Video: Angry customer douses two men with boba drink because they could not deliver it to her doorstep
An enraged Chinese woman threw bubble tea onto a delivery man and security guard when they could not bring the drink directly to her apartment door.
The incident: A woman in a white shirt and black bucket hat can be seen yelling at a delivery man and a security guard before throwing her bubble tea order at them in a now-viral Facebook video.
(To view the post above, you must click on the Facebook post and see through the social media platform.)
According to AsiaOne, the customer from China reportedly told the rider to deliver the drink to her doorstep at around 8 p.m. on Nov. 26.
Due to the building's Covid-19 safety measures, the security guard did not permit the delivery man to do so. The woman remained infuriated even after hearing the explanation of the guard.
The video, which has received more than 171,000 views and over 2,700 shares as of this writing, was posted on Nov. 27 by Michael Cheang, who works in the M-Forces Security company. Cheang wrote in the caption: "The woman 'advised' the security staff to punish the delivery rider. After that, she became very angry and said she had never had this problem before in other countries, including China, and asked 'Why is Malaysia so terrible?'"
According to the World of Buzz's translation of the original post, Cheang praised the delivery man and the security guard for remaining calm. He also wished for the public to treat all frontline workers with kindness.
"I would like to pay tribute to the security staff of M-Forces Security!" he said. "While facing such hot-tempered and arrogant residents, they showed professionalism to calmly deal with it and remained [in] their positions and responsibilities. I am proud of them!"

International day "Physicians for peace"
2.4 из 5 на основе 100 оценок.
Day called "Physicians for peace" began to celebrate on the globe after the relevant decisions of the Executive Committee of the world movement "Physicians for the prevention of nuclear war". It happened on the day of the tragedy in Hiroshima.
This movement (IPPNW) was born in the early 80-ies. Then initiated by a small group of medical scientists from the Soviet Union and the United States. The co-movement were first Soviet academician E. I. Chazov and Professor of Harvard University B. Lawn. Now this movement brought together more than 200 thousands of healthcare professionals from dozens of countries. The merits of IPPNW, his authority and influence emphasized in 1985, and ordered the movement of the Nobel peace prize.
Representatives of IPPNW was a program that provides for a ban on nuclear weapons testing. The first step towards this is the moratorium on nuclear explosions, the rejection of the use of such weapons, the freezing of the nuclear arms reduction and subsequent elimination of the non-proliferation of arms race in space. Also representatives of the movement calling for the cessation of the arms race and the redirection of funds to the health and social needs, we hope to create a climate of trust and cooperation between the countries of the world.
The goals of the movement are clear to all clinicians, including physicians in our country. To show support for the ideas of IPPNW, in 1981, Soviet physicians Committee created "Physicians for the prevention of nuclear war".
In June 1983 the III international Congress of the movement came up with a proposal to make "the Hippocratic Oath" provisions relating to the work of doctors in terms of the nuclear threat. Given this, on 15 November 1983 the Presidium of the Supreme Council adopted amendments to the text "doctor's Oath", specifying that the doctors are fighting for peace and for the prevention of nuclear war, realizing the danger of these weapons.

What kind of a view do you want? I seem to recall him making some comments about it.
Yeah, the usual Trump "comments"....hot air.
Regardless of those differing approaches, Trump's mostly-hand-waving remarks didn't impress cybersecurity experts looking for more concrete details about the initiatives he's proposing. "I don't find this very credible, because what does he know about cyber defense?" asks Joseph Loomis, the CEO of security firm CyberSponse. "I don't think he knows anything about…how a cyberattack is initiated or how to defend against one."
Instead, per usual, Trump's remarks repeatedly stressed America's declining stature in the world—in this case the digital one—followed with blanket promises to improve it. "This is the warfare of the future. America's dominance in this arena must be unquestioned, and today it's totally questioned," he said. "We need the edge, and ideally a big one."
True believers can rationalize anything.
Especially when their job depends on it.

Pretty sure every administration since WWII has utilized the living **** out of our military regradless of party. Neither of the two front-runners in this election are saying anything that hasn't been said already and neither will drastically reshape this tradition.
Where's the collusion, Bob?
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise for to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. - Thomas Jefferson.

In his remarks, Trump offered his most detailed statements on cybersecurity yet, and emphasized that his administration would prepare for cyberwar by maintaining strong offensive capabilities. He referenced private sector breaches like those at JP Morgan Chase, eBay, and Target as evidence of America's digital vulnerability. And he went on to sketch a plan for strengthening the federal government's digital defenses across all agencies, saying that he would push for the formation of a public-private oversight committee to "review all of our cybersecurity systems and technologies.
Yeah, I'm sure the campaign put a lot of effort into all that boilerplate.
Besides that, Trump is too busy rounding up supporters to make sure minorities don't commit voter fraud in areas where he's never going to win anyway.
Far more effort than you put into your wise ass boilerplate.
Ah, yes...found the "detailed" plans to keep America safe.
Words. Reviews.
formation of a public-private oversight committee to "review all of our cybersecurity systems and technologies.
So when you think "cyber security expertise", guys like Trump/Hillary/any candidate come to mind??? That's why you voted for him? Ok.
Push comes to shove, I'd bet Trump would have trouble figuring out his TV remote control or how to set the time on his microwave.
Part of making America great again will be reviewing how and where it sucks right now. Or something. I don't know.
Nope, didn't even get close to saying that. I answered a question fub asked. Maybe you should read the link for amplifying details before you try to dazzle us with your stunning insights ( it's not working BTW).

Nobody said anything about "every step for the next 4 years".
There are just NO details in this "plan" from your link.
The Donald doesn't give details for most of his "plans".
I'm surprised he didn't say he knows more than all the experts in cyber security.
You missed the sarcasm; seriously, has ANY candidate given specific details of ANY plan before his election? My link said his speech was most detailed statements about cybersecurity yet, didn't it? Get the transcript of the speech if you want to see those details.

Shares of Akorn Inc. AKRX, +2.75% ran up 13% in premarket trade Wednesday, putting them on track for a seventh-straight gain, after the generic drug maker said its new Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Bimatoprost Ophthalmic Solution was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

"Kare- raisu" (Curry with Rice) is a Japanese national food. It was introduced to Japan by the English navy who visited Japan in the early Meiji period after the end of Samurai era and because of this, Japanese curry developed in the English curry style, however, half century later there was a person who spoke out and said that "Japanese curry was not true curry!"

Indian revolutionary, Rash Behari Bose, the mastermind behind the "Delhi bomb attack" and the "Lahore case" and reason for anti British protests, escaped to Japan in 1915 after a large bounty was placed on his head. In response, the British government, which had formed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance at that time, strongly urged the Japanese government to hand Bose over. The Japanese government accepted the demand from Britain and ordered Bose to leave the country.
His fate after his return to India, which almost certainly meant the death penalty, was widely reported in Japanese newspapers and other media, fuelling national sentiment to protect him. The night before his extradition, Mr. and Mrs. Soma (founders of "Nakamuraya", a successful restaurant in Tokyo) risked their lives to hide Bose from the Japanese police who were to take him to the British officials waiting on a ship off the coast of Japan)
The following morning, Mr. Soma gathered his 30 employees and spoke to them,
"I'm sure you have heard his name in the newspapers and I want to tell you that we are sheltering Mr. Bose. We, as Japanese, cannot afford to ignore Mr. Bose, who has turned to Japan with his desire for the independence of India. I was asked a favour by a person of influence to hide Mr. Bose. I felt it was an honor for me to do so and accepted this task with gratitude. Mr. Bose has been in this house since last night. I think the police search will bring them here soon. I am telling you all about the situation and ask for your co-operation. Please join me in hiding Mr. Bose. Needless to say, such a secret is easy to leak and our responsibility is very heavy. From today, I would like you to do your best with that in mind."
One of the employees then replied,
"You are very good to tell us about such an important matter. Please be assured that we will protect him with our lives should it be necessary."
After that, not only was there no leak at all, but each and every employee took responsibility to protect and take care of Mr. Bose.

Bose, with deep emotion, noted in his diary the fact that the relationship between master and servant in Japan is based not on command and obedience, but on trust and loyalty. After a few years, Bose married Toshiko, one of Mr. and Mrs. Soma's daughters, who was serving as a liaison. The wedding ceremony was held quietly on the run, watched by only relatives and supporters. Bose also wrote down his feelings at that time. "I am sure that Toshiko, daughter of a good family, had many chances to find a good husband to marry and have a big wedding ceremony, but I wonder if it will be all right for her to have such a lonely marriage with a foreigner like me who doesn't know if there will be a tomorrow."
Actually, behind the marriage there was a lot of desire amongst supporters to let Bose acquire Japanese nationality and remove the British influence. Toshiko's determination also didn't waver.
After, Bose continued to play a major role in the independence movement as a key member of the Provisional Government of Free India.
However, Toshiko died of pneumonia in1925 when she was only 26 years old, and in 1945, Bose himself became seriously ill and died in Japan without seeing the day of India's independence. It was 5 months later that Bose and Toshiko's only son, Masahide, also died serving as a Japanese soldier in the Battle of Okinawa during WW2.
What Bose left as a memento of his exile was the "home Indian curry" of Nakamuraya, run by the Soma family. Bose always told Mr. and Mrs. Soma that Japanese curry was not real curry. He recommended that they cook real Indian curry dishes themselves to put on their menu. This "Jun Indo Kari (pure Indian curry)" has been a specialty of Nakamuraya for 100 years and still attracts many people.
Rash Behari Bose left behind many books in Japanese and had many great achievements acting as a bridge between Japan and India. Upon his death, the Japanese Emperor awarded him the "Order of the Rising Sun", and a hearse arranged by the emperor brought him to the funeral. Rash Behari Bose sleeps eternally with his family in the tomb of the Indian pagoda in Tokyo Tama Cemetery.
Shinjuku Nakamuraya is still located in the same place as it was then and at the entrance, the above photo of Bose and Toshiko welcomes its customers.
The "pure Indian curry" was protected by the successive generations after the death of Mr. and Mrs. Soma, and now Nakamuraya has grown into a big company with many restaurants and shops throughout Japan and revenue of 40 billion yen per year. 3rd Executive Chef of Nakamuraya, Takeshi Ninomiya, 85 years old, continues to diligently preserve the "Jun Indo Kari"… a taste of "Love"and "Revolution"!

Singapore regulators signaled their concerns over still rising home prices yesterday, announcing fresh mortgage curbs to cap upward price pressures caused by low interest rates and fast credit growth.
According to the central bank, over 45 per cent of new home loans have tenures exceeding 30 years.
Previous rounds of cooling measures had a moderating effect on home prices in Singapore, and a significant supply of housing will also come onstream in the next two years, MAS noted. "However, prices in both the HDB resale market and private residential property have continued to rise in Q2 and Q3 of 2012."
According to official flash estimates on Monday, HDB resale prices rose 2 per cent in Q3 from Q2, while private home prices gained 0.5 per cent over the same period. Separately, the SRX Residential Property Flash Report yesterday showed resale prices of non-landed private homes rising 3.2 per cent in Q3.
Low interest rates globally and locally are likely to persist and will continue to spur residential property demand, pushing up prices beyond sustainable levels, MAS warned, stressing that "the eventual correction could be painful to borrowers and destabilise the economy".
Meanwhile, financial institutions have stretched the durations of home loans, and long tenure loans pose risks to both lenders and borrowers, the central bank said. The average tenure for new residential property loans climbed to 29 from 25 years over the last three years, it revealed. Also, more than 45 per cent of new home loans granted by financial institutions have tenures exceeding 30 years.
Lower initial monthly repayments from long loan tenures and low interest rates may cause borrowers to overestimate their loan servicing ability and take a bigger loan than they can afford, MAS said. In fact, long tenure loans create a larger debt repayment burden as interest accumulates over a longer period.
"When interest rates eventually rise, borrowers who have overextended themselves will have difficulties repaying their loans," MAS said. "If property prices fall, financial institutions may be caught holding the bad loans."
Banks which offer home loans with a tenure of over 35 years will feel the impact of the new rules almost immediately. DBS and OCBC are among those providing mortgages stretching up to 40 years.
"We will reduce our existing maximum home loan tenure of 40 years to 35 years, with immediate effect," said OCBC group corporate communications head Koh Ching Ching.
A DBS spokeswoman said that most of the bank's home loans have a tenure of under 35 years. "It will take some time to ascertain the impact of the new measures while homebuyers assess the market."
United Overseas Bank (UOB), which introduced 50-year housing loans in July, did not respond to media queries. Some market watchers then had questioned if the product would cause borrowers to overextend themselves, and National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan subsequently called it a "gimmick".
Maybank said its maximum loan tenure for home loans is 35 years. "With an ageing population and couples marrying and setting up home at a later age, the new rules will have impact on these segments," said Alan Yet, head of lending (consumer banking) for Singapore.
The jury is out on how the new rules will affect the residential property market. The Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore (Redas) does not expect a significant impact. "Based on past experience, not many buyers take long tenure loans," it said. Just last week, Redas said the property sector does not need more cooling measures - at least not before a thorough review of the impact of earlier policies.

Why Invest In Egypt?
The Egyptian Economy's resilience is capable of overcoming its economic challenges as it did in the 2008 financial crisis, and long-term investors will see many opportunities.
Egypt has started its transformation to a stable, democratic and modern economy, where the dividends of growth and prosperity will be shared by all who participated in its achievement.
The Egyptian economy's ability to post positive real economic growth rates amid the global economic downturn as well as during the political unrest that prevailed in 2011-2013 indicates how resilient economic activity in Egypt.
A Large, Trained, Competitively Priced Labor Force
At about 28 million, Egypt's labor pool is the largest in the region. For decades, Egypt has had a reputation as a net regional exporter of educated, skilled labor. However, as domestic demand for skilled labor rises, and the increase of youth searching for job opportunities. a national industrial training program is provided for labors through world-class universities
Large Consumer Market
Egypt has emerged as a consumer market of significant importance in the region, as witnessed by the arrival of dozens of global brands and the sharp expansion of retail sales in the past two years. This is partly due to the sheer size of Egypt's population that put it as the most populated country in Africa and the Middle East
Developed Infrastructure
Egypt boasts a world class infrastructure base. Three independent mobile (cellular) phone networks cover nearly 100% of the country's inhabited land. Wire line broadband is readily available in urban centers. The country's 15 commercial ports serve the nation's exporters and importers alike, while an expanding, upgrading airport network caters to both passengers and cargo traffic, Egypt's Air Cargo Airport, currently has three cargo terminals, dealing with textiles, vegetables and many industrial products.

Tesla V11 UI: These Are The Changes The Recent Update Has Had Over V10
December 28, 2021 by Lydia Mee
Tesla has redeemed themselves with this holiday update being the most thrilling release of the year. It's jam-packed with some of the most desired features and enhancements.
Tesla is rolling out its latest UI update. The updated interface includes a more user-friendly and customisable app launcher, blind spot camera, and several new games. Check out the holiday update's release notes to see everything it has to offer.
The new UI is now available to Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y customers but it is unclear whether pre-refresh Model S or Model X automobiles will get the same interface update.
Let's go through everything we know about the new UI, shall we?
Updated UI
With a new aesthetic, the Model 3 and Y UIs have been redesigned. It has a style that is similar to that of the Model S's UI update. The interface also incorporates some of the functions from the previous model.
Speedometer and Visualisation
The Model 3's speedometer and "instrument cluster" have been modified. The visualization area at the left is now the same size as v10, but there's no way to change it. The information in the upper left corner of the screen has been rearranged. The PRND status is now shown horizontally rather than vertically, allowing you to position the speedometer all the way to the left to make it somewhat closer to the driver
On the left side of the screen, the acceleration/braking line now stretches nearly edge to edge instead of between the PRND indicator and battery status. The lights on your car, such as headlights and high beams, are still in similar places as before, but rather than above the PRND indicator, they're directly above them.
The speed limit sign has also been relocated to a new location just below the gear shift handle. The Autopilot symbol, which formerly resided beneath the acceleration/braking line, has now been shifted up next to the gear selection bar. To make room for the Autopilot logo in that area, it's significantly reduced in size and is roughly as tall as the gear letters themselves.
The old cruise control/maximum speed symbol was a blue circle with a set speed written inside. It's been simplified to just the set speed with the word "MAX" beneath, rather than having a blue circle around it for setting the desired speed. The cruise control speed icon has also been relocated to the right.
The width of the image, the content itself, and the inner shading have all been pushed to the edges. This gives extra height for car representations since all of the icons have been moved to the outskirts. Details that are located outside of normal vision can now be seen with greater ease in this version. In this release, it appears that none of the car visualizations have changed significantly.
App Launcher / Bottom Navigation
The new style and more choices in the vehicle's bottom navigation are among the most significant changes to the UI. The app launcher at the bottom of the screen, also known as a launcher, may now be customized. It has three distinct sections: pre-defined apps that can't be moved or reorganized, customised apps, and what appear to be recently used apps, similar to those found on Tesla Motors vehicles. A predetermined collection of applications may be added to the launcher. Apps that may be included in the app launcher are:
Caraoke
Many apps or features were removed in order to make room for customizing the app launcher. The wipers, seat heater, and front and rear defrosts are just a few of the functions that have been deleted from the launcher and must now be sought elsewhere.
Wipers may now be controlled through the left stalk button or via Controls, where you have options including off, low speed, medium, fast, and auto. The temperature of your seat heaters has been changed to automatic so that it will be based on the current cabin temperature and the actual temperature inside the vehicle. Seat heaters may still be manually adjusted using the HVAC settings. Unfortunately, the launch options that were excised are not available as apps that you can add back to your launcher.
The Tesla Model S's version 11 uses the same bright application icons as the rest of the redesigned model, although most people seem prefer the previous monochrome appearance.
Top Status Bar
The status bar at the top of the screen has been rearranged. This location typically contains quick access to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LTE settings, however these no longer appear under normal circumstances to give a more streamlined appearance.
In addition, the top status bar's numerous shortcuts, such as Sentry Mode, Dashcam, and Driver Profiles, are only visible some of the time. Instead of displaying these icons in the status bar all of the time, they'll become visible in Controls. When you're in any of the car's menus, all of your favorite symbols will be displayed along the top edge of the screen.
The visualization panel's cards have been removed. Although information will still be shown in this region, you can no longer swipe to reveal the wipers, odometer, tire pressure, or other features.
Much of this equipment has been moved to the controls menu. Tire pressure, for example, is now accessible through Controls > Service. Seat belt notifications and active call information, for example, will continue to appear in the visualization area.
Rearranged Menus
The car's settings have been adjusted and rearranged to better reflect the new Model 3 UI and to ensure that they are consistent across the Tesla lineup.
Instead of a swipeable card displaying odometer and trip data, they may now be accessed by going to Controls > Trips on the Model 3, similar to the S and X. Wiper settings have also been relocated to Controls, as has tire pressure monitoring.
A handful of menu items have been renamed. The term Driving has been changed to Pedals & Steering, and Safety & Security has become simply Safety. The name Controls has now been shortened to just Controls, much like the Model S. The new Settings menu now includes buttons for features that aren't accessible anywhere else, such as setting your wiper speed, enabling Sentry Mode and recording video. For example, Controls is where you'll find settings for your wiper speed, Sentry Mode activation and dashcam recording.
According to the new update, Tesla has removed the charging app from the app launcher, so charge settings may now be found by going to Controls and tapping the new Charging menu. The glovebox button that had been positioned at the bottom of all of the menus has now also been moved to Controls. Despite being located within a menu, it takes two touches to open the glovebox.
Blind Spot Camera
The new Blind Spot Camera function is one of the highlights of this update. It's a premium feature that, when your turn signal is activated, displays the live camera view from your blind spot. When you use the appropriate turn signal, the car will display the left or right fender video feed automatically. When your turn signal is deactivated, the camera feed will likewise be removed. The camera footage will now appear below the driving simulation card, where it was previously shown.
HVAC Quick Controls
When you alter the cabin temperature, a new fast controls menu appears. Previously, when you changed the cabin temperature, you got a slider for adjusting the temperature and a button for enabling Split mode.
There are, however, a few extra options in this menu now. Previously deleted apps such as HVAC settings, seat heaters, and front and rear defrost have been reinstated in the fast menu. If you want to get to the full HVAC settings, tap on the gear symbol. This might take some getting used to since the complete HVAC settings are now a swipe and click away; they also appear to be more hidden.
Overall V11
Owners have been waiting for v11 to equalize with what the Model S has now. Although not all of the features available in the Model S are present, the visual upgrade is appreciated. In this version, certain elements of the Model S, such as window docking and the music mini-player, are not accessible.
The Model 3's existing apps are unaltered. The music player, for example, is still similar to its prior form and may only be seen on the right side of the screen.
Over the years, Tesla has added various features. When the Model 3 was first unveiled three years ago, Sentry Mode, Dashcam, Dashcam Viewer, Tesla Theater, and a slew of other features were not available. These features have been tacked on to the UI in an attempt to make it more manageable.
Tesla took advantage of the situation to tidy up and organize its user interface, making it easier to understand. Some of the new buttons might be difficult to master, but it's thrilling to see Model 3 v11 in action.
