Will WS2350 work with Open2300?
I'm looking for my first weatherstation and it seems that this is maybee the only Opensource sw available for Linux. As the sw is created for some specific products I have a question. Would it work also with WS2350? The WS 2300 seems to be at the end of the lifecycle and it's my understanding that WS2350 is the replacement. Will Open2300 sw also work with the new WS2350. Another product that I'm concidering is Oregon WMR100, but as this unit is another brand I assume it will not work with Open 2300, right?
Make sure to use the code from SubversionOpen2300. The 1.10 is known to be a bit buggy and I have not yet released a 1.11 (do not currently have my own Windows environment working to verify the code under windows).
I confirm that this is working. Mine is working fine with open2300-1-10 (compiled locally) under Linuxand using RS232 (not using RS232-USB convertor included in the packaging).

March: Water & sanitation month
March is clean water and sanitation month.
Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education are basic necessities for a healthy environment and a productive life. When people have access to clean water and sanitation, waterborne diseases decrease, children stay healthier and attend school more regularly, and mothers can spend less time carrying water and more time helping their families.
To read more about Rotary's efforts surrounding clean water and sanitation, check out their website.
Pres. Janet presented a $5000 Club check to fellow Rotarian Rachel Sayen-Lambert, a board officer with the Williwaw's Families for the Improvement of Safety& health (FISH). Our WSRC is now at full power working with FISH. Janet has established a working committee to coordinate with Williwaw for the construction of the playground.
In December, our Club and members of our Club donated over $2,000 to support the building of wells and bathrooms in Cambodia through One Degree Forward. Pam and Jerry corresponded with the founder Tim Ellison and wanted to use this as the Club's international service project for the year. Rotary – People of Action!

In laptop computing, the XJACK is a type of extendable connector or antenna for a type II PC card, designed by the Megahertz subsidiary of 3Com. When not in use, the XJACK retracts into the PC card for storage.

The XJACK was originally used in modem and network cards, to attach a standard RJ11 or 8P8C plug directly to the PC card. They do not require a separate dongle, which could be lost or misplaced, and do not need to be removed from the laptop when travelling. An alternative approach is to use larger type III cards with a regular modular connector  socket, but this approach requires more space.

Wi-Fi PC cards for accessing wireless networks have an external portion containing the antenna for improved reception (as compared with inside the laptop), but this portion of the card may be accidentally damaged while moving the laptop. 3Com manufactured wireless cards with retractable antenna portions, also under the XJACK name. Other companies have since manufactured wireless cards with retractable antennas.

The last hurrah: Senior girls end soccer season on good foot
Ria Pai
Filed under Sports, Spotlight
The Palo Alto High School girls' soccer team huddles together during halftime at Paly on Wednesday. The girls claimed a victory, 2-0, on senior night where the senior team members were celebrated for their leadership and commitment to the team. "You know when you have a tough season and you have a good leadership like this one, it's always fine," head coach Ernesto Cruz said. "I guess no matter if you win or lose they keep the team together." Photo: Margaret Li
The Palo Alto High School girls' soccer team (3-10-6) triumphed 2-0 over the Fremont Firebirds (5-12-3) Wednesday on senior night.
This was the last Paly game for the seniors on the team.
"We were looking to play well, play hard and end with a win," senior Khadija Abid said.
During the first half of the game, the Vikings took the lead early on as Abid scored a goal against the Firebirds with a strong, lofting kick at a good distance away from the goal. With lots of back-and-forth movement and great passes from sophomore Sarah Kim, Paly managed to keep the Firebirds away from the Viking goal. Despite an aggressive defense and a couple of close opportunities for a goal by the Firebirds, they were no match for senior goalie Kaitlin Hanay, who blocked several of their attempts, leaving Paly up 1-0 at the end of the first half.
The second half was even stronger for the Vikings, with Paly closing in on Fremont's goal on multiple attempts. There were some impressive kicks by junior forward-midfielder Summer Daniel and junior forward Frida Rivera. Toward the end of the half, the second goal came when senior midfielder Caroline Furrier hit a hard shot, with Rivera following the ball to finish the job. Shouts from the team and the fans on the sideline rang out as the ball found the back of the net.
Paly midfielder Caroline Furrier dribbles the ball toward Fremont's goal during the second half of the game. The Vikings beat the Firebirds, 2-0, ending their season on a victory. "I think that as a team we just really wanted to end the season on a high note," senior co-captain Khadija Abid said. Photo: Margaret Li
Even though the girls did not have many wins this season, the season had other positives.
"We had a rough time in terms of results," Abid said. "But it was an incredible group of girls, and we had a lot of fun together."
Although this was the team's last game because they did not qualify for CCS, the players look back on the season with positive memories, according to junior Samantha Pao.
"The girls deserve a win like that," head coach Ernesto Cruz said. "We've been waiting for, they've been fighting for it all season. It's almost unfair the results that we've been getting, but we finally got one on a special night too."

Leadership only for a leader EDITORIAL 07/18/2010
Leadership only for a leader
Some interesting battle is happening at the Senate that would likely have its leadership retained by Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, a development that bespeaks of an independent 15th Senate, led by an independent Senate chieftain.
The configuration of forces in the chamber, which is not known for defined party boundaries, has, as the main contenders for the post, Senators Francis Pangilinan of the Liberal Party (LP) and Manuel Villar Jr. of the Nacionalista Party (NP), in a likely deadlock, with none willing to give in to either of the two declared aspirants for the Senate presidency.
Valid issues have been raised against both Pangilinan and Villar that kept either from getting unqualified support from their colleagues.
On Villar were the still unresolved issues involving the C-5 road controversy prior to the national elections while Pangilinan is being perceived as being too close to President Aquino that may compromise the independence of the Senate.
Truth to tell, this early, there already appears to be a compromising situation in the sense of Noynoy Aquino clearly meddling in the Senate race — as well as the justice arena — as Noynoy has telegraphed his punches in his bid to get a detained senator released, just to get him to vote for Pangilinan.
The support within two rival fences remains constant but with the group of five led by Sen. Edgardo Angara, within Villar's group willing to compromise, but not in favor of their rival but in support of Enrile, who had not even thrown his hat into the battle ring, the probability of Enrile retaining his seat is greater...

Noynoy Aquino will have a military problem in his hands if he keeps on interfering in the judicial and congressional processes just to get detained Sen. Sonny Trillanes released from detention merely to ensure an additional vote for his Liberal Party (LP) bet for the Senate, Kiko Pangilinan.
A member of his communications team, Sonny Coloma, was quick to deny that Noynoy was interfering in the judiciary, as well as denying Noynoy's statement that Trillanes has been unjustly charged for a coup d'etat was done to get him to vote for Pangilinan.
Noynoy, it was said, was exercising his authority within his province, when he asked the Department of Justice (DoJ) to review the case of Trillanes.
But everyone knows that the DoJ will do exactly what Noynoy wants, which is to throw out the case by saying there was no probable cause for the crime of coup d'etat. The DoJ may have a new secretary of Justice, but that does not translate to the DoJ being independent of what the Malacañang tenant wants done, with the results of the review adhering to what he had already prejudged, which is that Trillanes was unjustly charged of the crime.....

SP FPP? ENQUIRY Demaree J. B. Raval 07/18/2010
Demaree J. B. Raval
If one cannot hack it as majority leader of the Senate, then he is not good enough to be Senate President.
Long before Sen. Francisco Pancrateus Pangilinan acquired another name arising from his infamous role as co-chairman of the National Board of Canvassers for the 2004 presidential elections, he had another name in the vernacular that translates to "all buffery; no substance."
I wrote then in my article of Feb. 15, 2004. Thus: "A majority leader is supposed to be learned in parliamentary rules, practices and precedents. He is expected to guide the deliberations of the Senate, which draws on his experience to set everything in order. His leadership inspires confidence among his colleagues. After all, he is the chairman of the powerful committee on rules, which sets the tone of the proceedings in the chamber. If he knows his rules, everything goes well; if he does not, then that is when the big problem starts. As the Senate now faces.
"It is on days like these that we pine for the good old days when the Senate had a majority leader in the mold of a Romulo or a Tatad; or, most recently, a Legarda. Today the Senate has a majority leader who is still wet behind the ears, and seemingly nothing in between, who is groping for the rules, prompting no less than Senate President Franklin Drilon himself to remark in disgust after once abruptly suspending the session: "Kabado naman itong si Kiko!" Drilon did not know he was near a live microphone, so that this remark was plainly heard by everyone in the session hall..... MORE
Koko's unreachable dream BLURBAL THRUSTS Louie Logarta 07/18/2010
Lawyer Aquilino Pimentel III must be ruing his decision not to run in the senatorial elections last May, which were topped by re-electionists (only due to their being movie stars in this showbiz-crazed country of ours) Ramon "Bong" Revilla and Jinggoy Estrada, bragging he was confident of winning the protest he had filed in June 2007 against rival Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri.
Because if only he had opted to cast his lot with the opposition in the May 10, 2010 polls, instead of his political neophyte sister Gwen, he would most probably be one of those senators awaiting the opening of Congress in two weeks to formally assume their places in the upper chamber
Pimentel, son of former Senate Minority Leader Nene Pimentel of Cagayan de Oro City, it should be recalled, was edged out by a mere few thousand votes by former Arroyo ally Zubiri for the 12th and final slot in the winner's circle in the senatorial race during the May 2007 polls, despite having led throughout the counting of votes conducted by the Commission of Elections that was acting as the national board of canvassers.
Pimentel saw the ever so slim lead of less than 20,000 votes he had maintained over 13th placer Zubiri (a la Jojo Binay vis-a-vis his struggle with Mar Roxas) in the tabulations suddenly dissipate after the Supreme Court allowed the Comelec to include the ballots from Maguindanao province, a known administration bailiwick, in their canvassing.
By then, the proclamation of the last-placed senator had been dragging on for some two agonizing months because Pimentel, a Bar topnotcher, had petitioned the tribunal to stop the Comelec from counting the votes from Maguindanao province where he alleged wholesale and massive fraud had taken place....

Opening with closures TABLETS OF STONE Larry Faraon, OP 07/18/2010
This "Davide Truth Commission" is useless without the necessary judicial powers that should go along with it, nor without the funds to be allocated by Congress. But most importantly, the credibility and authenticity of its findings and recommendations for prosecution and eventual sending off the culprits to jail would suffer, since Davide himself cannot be considered untainted and unblemished. In short, moral ascendancy problems.
It may well be practical for President Noynoy Aquino to abrogate the creation of this commission. Besides, the celebrated cases listed in its menu, mostly from the Arroyo political and fund scams would be just that, i.e. "celebrated," creating more witnesses, whistle-blowers, self-proclaimed political martyrs who would run for political positions in the next elections, owing to the celebrity status they reap in grueling yet entertaining hearings of these investigative bodies that are broadcast live on radio and television.
At the stretch of the day, a report would come up, replete with recommendations of prosecution by the Department of Justice or by the Sandiganbayan, while the people are scratching their tired eyes hoping to see some "celebrities" escorted to jail. Unfortunately, accused celebrities who land in prison in total humiliation are those who are unjustly condemned, not by a legitimate process in court, but by an extra-judicial modality, like that infamous people power at Edsa ll, sponsored by the wealthy and the elite few.
We will never forget this miscarriage of justice committed against President Joseph Estrada, because this would forever be etched in the pages of our history as one of the most embarrassing episodes ever.... MORE
Pork barrel? Pork chop? Pork? VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 07/18/2010
This is but a simple and candid question. This is merely a plain and timely query. The government is not only flat broke but also in dire need because the public coffer is not merely empty of cash but also full of debts — courtesy of the previous administration. There are too many government officials and much more government employees to pay salaries to and give reasonable perks too. The annual income and budget, especially in the past six years, are too depressing to know how they have been "balanced" in terms of local and foreign borrowings, real huge debits and supposedly consoling reality in the form of big "deferred payments"
The needed funding for education is much less than actually needed. Hence, more children no longer good to school. The requirements of developing agriculture are beyond reasonable response. Wherefore, the matter of importing rice has become not only mandatory but are the salaries relatively low, but many do not even find any employment. Direct and indirect taxes are already too much. Yet public welfare has become less and less..... MORE
Frustrated Palestinians expected to reject direct talks focus 07/18/2010
RAMALLAH — Frustrated by the sluggish pace of proximity talks with Israel, the Palestinians will likely reject a visiting US envoy's calls for direct negotiations, officials and analysts say.
In recent weeks Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas has largely backed away from conditioning direct talks on a full settlement freeze, instead insisting on "progress" on the issue of borders and security in the US-brokered talks launched in May.
But Israel has thus far refused to completely halt the construction of Jewish settlements on Palestinian land and, according to the Palestinians, has yet to respond to their proposals on the two thorny issues.
On Thursday, Abbas's secular Fatah movement issued a statement warning that the "lack of credibility and confidence resulting from the Israeli rejection of the indirect talks, which have achieved no progress, will become entrenched... if there is a transition to direct talks.
"That is something the Palestinian leadership has not and will not accept."
Costly Centennial Expo remains a burden — CoA 07/18/2010
DISPUTE ON P270M CLAIMS UNRESOLVED UNTIL NOW
Costly Centennial Expo remains a burden — CoA
The centennial of the nation's independence came and went more than 12 years ago but the government until now is spending for the Philippine Centenial Expo '98 Corp. (Expocorp), the company formed in 1996 by then President Fidel V. Ramos for the centennial celebration, Commission on Audit (CoA) documents showed.
CoA records show an unreconciled balance of P269.607 million in accounts receivable Expocorp is claiming from the First Centennial Clark Corp. (FCCC), a joint venture between private firms and government agencies that undertook the development and operation of the Philippine Centennial International Exposition 1998 (Expo '98) complex at the Clark Special Economic Zone in Pampanga, the construction of which was provided under Executive Order 128 of Ramos.
The construction of Expo '98 or Expo Filipino cost a total of P3.5 billion. Ramos directed three government financial institutions, the Social Security System (SSS), the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and the Land Bank of the Philippines to release a total of P1.4 billion in loans to the developer of the project.
The project was criticized for the excessive amounts of money that went to its construction such as a Freedom Ring costing more than P1.2 billion; a parking lot worth P111 million; an entry zone costing P118 million; display villages worth P290 million; an artificial river built at a cost of P76 million, and bridges on the river that cost P32 million to build.
A dispute between FCCC and Expocorp on the actual amount of the project had delayed the liquidation of the Expocorp.
The phrase "amount actually paid by Expocorp solely for the for the construction of said properties" was not clearly defined resulting in different interpretations. Consequently, there is a variance of the receivable as per (Expocorp's) records of P269,607,624 and that acknowledged by FCCC of P53,162,163, according to CoA.... MORE

MILF forwards 5 queries to new gov't peace panel 07/18/2010
While Malacañang said yesterday definitive steps were being taken to hasten the resumption of peace negotiations with both the Muslim and communist rebels, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) said it is backing a former peace adviser's proposal for the new government panel to answer five questions first before sitting at the negotiating table with the secessionist group.
In a radio interview, Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Secretary Teresita Deles said she expects the peace talks to begin "within the next quarter."
Lawyer Lanang Ali, a senior member of the MILF peace panel, said the rebel group is supporting the proposal of Camilo Montesa, former assistant secretary at the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), in forwarding the so-called five basic questions (5BQ) to members of the government panel which are: Can the MILF be trusted?; Is there a Moro Problem?; What is the Moro Problem?; What are the roots of the Moro Problem?; How should we solve the Moro Problem?
"He is one of the few members of the government peace panel who enjoyed high regard from the MILF. He is very objective and is not one of a close mind when it comes to searching for the 'new formulas' in addressing the Moro Question in Mindanao,"... MORE
Trillanes coup case review not encroaching on judiciary — Palace By Aytch S. de la Cruz 07/18/2010
Malacañang yesterday tried to set the record straight relevant to the statement reportedly aired by President Aquino asking Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to review the coup d'état charges filed against Magdalo stalwart Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV as some have viewed such move as tantamount to encroaching on the independence of the court which is already taking care of the matter.
Presidential Communications Group official Herminio "Sonny" Coloma told reporters that such order from Aquino to De Lima is still in line with her mandate as chief of the Department of Justice which is tasked to enforce the rule of law and promote justice equally to the people.
Coloma clarified that Aquino has no intentions to cross the borderline that separates his department to that of the judiciary and he is only after the fulfillment of his pledge to avoid so-called "miscarriage of justice" to the wrongfully accused under his presidency.
"I think our Executive department, especially our President, has no intention to cross the line and disrespect the rights or (duties) covered by the judiciary. What he did is just to ensure that there is no miscarriage of justice. If you're going to take a look at the oath of office of the President, it is stated therein that one of his duties is to do justice to every man — make sure that justice is being implemented to every Filipino and because of which we have our Department of Justice," Coloma explained in an interview over the state-run Radyo ng Bayan....

House ally hits Aquino plan to end rice subsidy 07/18/2010 By Charlie V. Manalo
Less than a month into office, the Aquino administration is fast earning criticisms from its allies, the latest resulting from a proposal of the Department of Finance (DoF) to scrap subsidies on rice prices and transfer the responsibility of ensuring the poor's access to rice to the Social Welfare Department supposedly to stop the financial drain on the National Food Authority (NFA).
"What (Finance) Secretary (Cesar) Purisima is, in effect, proposing is to leave something as vital as rice trade to the hands of traders and business. He wants government to save money by abandoning its commitment to help farmers get fair prices for their palay and assure consumers of access to affordable rice," Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello in criticizing the Finance department's proposal.
While President Aquino has vowed to lick poverty, Purisima's pronouncement only validates observations from some sectors the newly installed government is in disarray with so many power players, including the President's sister power, Kamag-anak Inc., Hyatt 10 and some civil society groups, trying to jostle each other with regard to appointments and policy-making, he said....

Palace won't push Neri to play Truth Commission game 07/18/2010
Former Socio-economic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri's refusal to cooperate with the yet-to-be-established Truth Commission whose objective is to provide closures to the scandals of the previous administration will not be a problem, a Malacañang official yesterday said.
According to Presidential Communications Group official Herminio "Sonny" Coloma, Neri has the right to freely express his opinions on the purpose for which the Truth Commission is being built since he is among the accused to one of the cases that it is planning to explore.
"Former Secretary Neri has the right to express his opinions because he is one of the accused. Perhaps that is what he thinks he should do as one of the accused so let's just respect his right in that aspect," Coloma said.
Neri, through his legal counsel Paul Lentejas, said he has no intentions to serve as state witness in the investigations to be undertaken by the Truth Commission once it has been launched by the Aquino administration through its chosen chief, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr.
Lentejas even went as far as saying that "whatever the Truth Commission will do is irrelevant" since the cases that it wants to pursue are now being heard in courts, including the botched $329-million national broadband network (NBN) deal that the previous government unsuccessfully forged with the Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment Corp. (ZTE), on which his client was involved.
Neri pleaded not guilty of the graft charges filed against him by the Office of the Ombudsman before the Sandiganbayan the other day.... MORE
Pinay dies, two compatriots hurt in Iraq hotel fire 07/18/2010
A Filipina worker was among at least 23 persons killed when a fire broke out in a hotel in northern Iraq Thursday night (Baghdad time), the Department of Foreign Affairs yesterday confirmed.
Citing a report from the Philippine Embassy in Baghdad, the DFA said the Filipina was an employee of the Asiacell Mobile company based in Sulaimania, Kurdistan Region Governorate in Iraq.
"The Filipina was at the Hotel SOMA in Sulaimania City when a fire occurred, which started at a nearby furniture shop. The DFA identified the Filipina as Maricar Cente," Foreign Affairs spokesman Eduardo Malaya said.
Two other Filipinos survived the fire, he added. They are Joshua Ermitanos, who is recuperating at a hospital from a broken leg, and Richie Salceda, who was discharged from the hospital Friday.
The embassy, Malaya said, is being assisted by a Filipino volunteer based in nearby city of Erbil, and is coordinating with their employers for the repatriation of remains and entitlement to benefits.... MORE

Herminio Coloma of the Palace's Communication Group said yesterday Aquino has been holding meetings with various department secretaries since June 30, discussing the content of his Sona.
"What I know is that the President wants to find out from each Cabinet member what's going on and what's really happening around the country. Almost everybody have already submitted a report," Coloma said over dzRB Radio ng Bayan.
He said he does know the specific itinerary of President Aquino a week before the Sona, but what he knew of was that the Chief Executive was very busy preparing for it. ... MORE

Lanka Army chief summoned by court over disappearance of 24 Tamils
Colombo, Nov 17, Lanka Army chief summoned by court over disappearance of 24 Tamils : A Sri Lankan court has summoned the commander of the country's Army tomorrow over the disappearance of 24 Tamils since their arrest in 1996 by security forces during the internal conflict with the LTTE. The Jaffna High Court has asked Army chief Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake along with two other state officials to appear in court tomorrow. Judge Ilancheliyan ordered them to appear in court when a case filed by parents and relatives of the 24 missing persons was taken up on November 15. The relatives have claimed that the 24 had gone missing since July 1996 when the security forces had arrested them in Navatkuly, Jaffna. Sri Lankan troops and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have faced international condemnation for alleged human rights violations during the long-drawn conflict. The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in three successive resolutions has urged for independent international investigation into alleged abuses blamed on both sides. Judge Ilancheliyan also urged the Jaffna security officials to crack down on the gangs who wield swords and intimidate the locals in the wake of the reported rise in such attacks recently. The police said they have arrested six people.
Jaffna along with Kilinochchi, Mannar, Mullaitivu and Vavuniya are the five districts that constitute Sri Lanka's Northern Province, which was the main theatre of the Sri Lankan civil war. The island country has a population of 18.5 million of whom the majority are Sinhalese (74 per cent). Other ethnic groups are made up of Sri Lankan Tamils (12.6 per cent), Indian Tamils (5.5 per cent). According to the government figures, around 20,000 people are missing due to various conflicts including the civil war with Lankan Tamils in the north and east which claimed at least 100,000 lives.

New Snapdragon 636 will give mid-range phones more punch
The new Snapdragon 636 will give mid-range devices more punch. (Source: Qualcomm)
Qualcomm has officially unveiled the Snapdragon 636. The new chip supersedes the Snapdragon 630 and 660 chipsets and is designed to give mid-range smartphones more performance and overall appeal.
by Sanjiv Sathiah, 2017/10/17
Qualcomm has officially taken the wraps off the Snapdragon 636. The key features of the new chipset are 40 percent faster performance coupled with support for ultra-wide screen displays with 18:9 ratios. Fabricated on a 14nm process, the new 636 is an octa-core design based on Qualcomm's custom ARM-based Kryo 260 cores. It can be clocked up to 1.8 GHz and paired with up to 8 GB of RAM, which will certainly help to broaden the appeal of devices powered by the new 636.
Less impressive is that the new Adreno 509 GPU offers just a 10 percent boost in performance over its predecessor while there aren't any speed boosts to LTE, which remains locked in at 600 Mbps on a downlink. Its Spectra 160 image signal processor doesn't offer a new features, but continues to support camera sensors up to 24 MP. On the bright side, there is support for Qualcomm's aptX audio over Bluetooth as well as Qualcomm's newer high-definition Aqistic audio codec. It also supports Qualcomm's latest Quick Charge 4 technology, which can deliver a zero to 50 percent charge in just 15 minutes.
Qualcomm has highlighted that the new Snapdragon 636 is compatible with existing boards that used its previous generation Snapdragon 630 and Snapdragon 660 chipsets. This will appeal to OEMs as they will be able to retain the current internal designs, which should speed up the delivery of devices featuring the new chips when they ship to OEM's in November.

Singapore: Scoot passengers sleep on floor, go without food and drinks at Hokkaido airport
This is the second time in December after almost 200 Singapore Airlines passengers were stuck in northern Japan two weeks ago.
By Samhati Bhattacharjya
Representational Image Reuters
Many Singaporean passengers are stranded in Japan's Hokkaido due to heavy snowfall that caused the delay or cancellation of more than 100 flights for the second time in December 2016.
Reports said Scoot flight TZ215, which was scheduled to fly at 5.25pm on Dec 22, was cancelled due to heavy snow. It might depart later on Saturday. Another Eva Airways' BR115 flight was cancelled on Friday.
Angelina Hing told The Straits Times that she and her family spent two nights on the floor of New Chitose Airport in Sapporo since Thursday.
She said that this situation occurred as most of the hotels near the airport were full, leaving people to sleep on the floor of the airport. Hing also added that they had to queue for more than two hours just to get blankets. Although Scoot provided meal vouchers, they were of limited use.
"They were only applicable to a handful of eateries, and on Thursday night by the time we checked out all eateries had closed," she added.
The eateries and convenience stores at the airport also ran out of food as more and more people arrived there. Hing said they have checked in and checked out three times since Thursday. However, she said that Scoot staffs were polite but "displayed very little flexibility" and there was a "lack of communication" which added to their frustration.
On its Facebook page, Scoop said flight TZ216 bound for Sapporo was diverted to Tokyo on Thursday as the runway at New Chitose Airport was closed. The flight only landed at around 10.50am on 23 Dec.
"Consequently, Scoot flight TZ215, originally scheduled to depart Sapporo for Singapore via Taipei at 5.25pm on 22 December, was delayed as well," it posted.
"However, the aircraft was not able to depart on 23 Dec due to adverse weather, which led to the closure of the airport in early afternoon," the post added.
Scoot further said that as there were no hotel rooms available, the affected guests were provided with meal vouchers.
Meanwhile, Singaporean dentist Tan Keng Wee said they were scheduled to travel on China Eastern airline but they had to wait inside the plane for seven hours on Friday before being asked to disembark. He also added that the airline did not have ground staff at New Chitose.
"It's been pretty terrible... The convenience stores were emptied out completely by the time we got out and we had to find space on the floor to sleep on," the 28-year-old dentist told The Straits Times.
"People were hoarding power points; blankets were being given out but the queue was longer than the one we have in Singapore for baked cheese tarts because every single flight was cancelled," he added.
Two weeks ago, almost 200 Singapore Airlines passengers were stuck in northern Japan after more than 250 flights were cancelled due to inclement weather.

Unique Cold Chain Challenges in Emerging Countries
The WHO works to set up healthcare in remote areas to deliver much-needed vaccines. Organizations and equipment suppliers must rise to meet the challenges that come with the climate and infrastructure in these locations to ensure vaccines stay within approved temperature ranges.
Geoffrey Glauser played a key role working with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Sierra Leone on a Phase 2-3 clinical trial for the Ebola vaccine.
The WHO has a significant presence in emerging countries and continues to tackle challenges associated with bringing healthcare and vaccinations to remote areas of the world.
Geoffrey Glauser is a subject matter expert in support of the Manufacturing, Facilities, and Engineering Division of the Biomedical Advancement Research Development Authority (BARDA) in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within Health and Human Services (HHS). Recently, he played a key role working with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Sierra Leone on a Phase 2-3 clinical trial for the Ebola vaccine.
At this week's IQPC 14th Cold Chain - GDP & Temperature Management Logistics Global Forum in Boston, he explained that what he and the CDC accomplished in the area of Ebola prevention was a "trial by fire" in Sub-Saharan Africa, learning as they went to complete the clinical trial under extreme conditions.
"The task [people] have is certainly not simple," Glauser noted. People must bring in resources and standards, and educate. The basics of water and electricity are limited. "It's not enough to just have cell phone service."
There were power outages and minimal grid cover, and only 12 percent of roads were paved. He explained that they rose to the challenge, never losing a dose of the -80°C vaccination despite the lack of dry ice.
Glauser outlined the WHO's equipment prequalification process and implementation strategies that address the unique challenges in emerging countries. He recommended that companies involved in cold chain operations in emerging markets consider the following:
Solar panels on cold rooms can feed electricity into the unit when there is limited grid power to handle the temperature control you want (-20°C or 2-8°C). The panels have to be cleaned to prevent dust accumulation.
Climate conditions may mean that winter weather may not take place, but there may be rainy seasons without sun, so you need to ensure there is backup energy. You have to ask yourself what power you need when the sun is not shining, such as battery backup and emergency generators. He noted, "It's hard to maintain the continuity of power."
You have to pay attention to electrical continuity, liquids inside batteries, and test batteries. These are critical functions for cold chain.
The quality of 220-volt power in some remote areas can be dodgy at best. The unit may plug in and work initially, but if electrical phases are out of sync, you may burn up a compressor in a year. Some equipment has voltage regulation built in. Glauser said this is part of the qualification, and added, "I would demand voltage regulation if there's a questionable electrical grid."
Backup generators can be a lifesaver, but there is an issue about keeping them well maintained. Also, liquid fuel (such as gasoline or jet fuel) is internationally priced, and many emerging economies don't have the money. Glauser noted that in the field, he saw 100 small motorcycles donated by Japan, which could have valuable in delivering medical products. But they were sitting and gathering dust, because the area did not have a budget for gasoline. Continuity of fuel is not a given.
It may be wise to back up your backups. He said he used a three-layer electrical system: a generator, solar power and a backup generator.
In situations where you have backup power supply, consider whether you will use an auto switchover or perform manual switching.
If a freezer does not have a temperature recorder, you will need to attach an independent recorder. You must take a temperature reading of each unit at least twice a day, and it is preferable to monitor every 15 minutes to ensure the vaccines are viable.
Glauser noted that while there are often local equipment manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe, the WHO doesn't have the luxury of a -20°C freezer supplier in Nigeria or Togo. You must consider transportation costs, which can be almost the same price as the unit itself.
Also consider the difference between the standard operating conditions of the equipment and the reality of the situation. For example, -20°C freezers need a certain ambient temperature to operate satisfactorily. If they are used in Sub-Saharan Africa, they will have a shorter lifetime if they are operating in heat without preconditioning to a 20-22°C environment.
Ensure equipment manufacturers understand where units will be used. There are manufacturers that offer freezers that can operate in the heat, with compressors and mechanical systems that can handle those temperatures. Glauser noted, "We don't need that in the U.S. because [our freezers] are usually in temperature controlled environments," such as factories or labs.
Follow up and provide feedback to technicians about satisfactory or unsatisfactory freezer performance.
Field validation must be performed to confirm that the system works once installed, and that it can be utilized for long term storage.
It's extremely important that you do not overlook human factors. The local ministry of health must be involved from the start—they have their own requirements and standards, as do other aid organizations like UNICEF. You may need to keep the local leader(s) happy, and will ultimately teach locals how to perform vaccine storage and equipment maintenance. Glauser said that the local leaders and healthcare providers want to be in charge as much as anybody, and it's our job to make sure they are educated and self-sustaining.
Public health education is also a critical component in emerging countries. Ebola is more difficult to transmit than many think, as it requires contact. Much of limiting the spread of the disease comes down to education, and Glauser urged attended to view and share the massive number of educational activities related to public health at WHO.

Just grab a damp, soft cloth and a smear of toothpaste, and you can erase scratches and scuff marks on your car without much work involved. This trick works best if the scratches and scuff marks haven't fully penetrated the clear coat of your vehicle's paint. If you can grab hold of a scratch with your fingernail, it might be too big to buff out with toothpaste.
Toothpaste works to sand down the uneven surface of your car's glossy sheen and fills in the gap. Just make sure the surface around the area is clean—you don't want to buff particles of dirt and debris into your paint. If there is foreign paint on the outside, the toothpaste will act as an abrasive to help remove that, too.
Add a dab of toothpaste to your damp cloth. Rub the toothpaste onto the scratch or scuff mark using small circular motions to cover its surface. As you move or lift the cloth, you should see the scratch or scuff mark disappear. When you see that the mark is gone, you're finished!
Mike Shoesmith demonstrates the technique for scuff marks in the video below. If you'd like to speed up this process, as he demonstrates, you can use a buffing attachment on your drill.
The scratch-removing magic of toothpaste works on your car's surface and a variety of other delicate items. Known to remove the scratches on CD and DVD discs, and potentially marks on the screens of your phone and tablet, it can be a smoothing wonder. But what makes it so effective?
According to Ryan Dube of MakeUseOf, toothpaste is a sanding tool. It's like a lighter, softer form of sandpaper. As you gently rub toothpaste onto a slick surface, it "catches" on any imperfections that exist and softly sands them away, wearing away the uneven surface problems and polishing the surface clean.
Although we don't think of our toothpaste as doing any sanding on our teeth, it's essentially performing this same task every time we brush. After all, how else would it remove the leftover pieces of last night's dinner and polish our teeth?
However, buffing out scratches and scuffs with any old toothpaste won't cut it. NC Consumer, along with other sources online, says that whitening toothpaste is best.
Whitening toothpaste works because of its rougher, grittier texture. Though you might not feel a difference in your brushing routine, it makes a significant difference when used on your car's paint. Whitening toothpaste contains small, barely discernible abrasives, ones that similar to the abrasives found in car polish. As you gently rub the toothpaste against your car, the abrasive action removes tiny layers of film and clear coat, polishing away those ugly marks and leaving a glistening mirror shine.
If you're worried about using the wrong toothpaste or want to buff up your entire car (that'd be a lot of toothpaste), you could opt for some clay bars or a detailing kit, which do a great job getting your paint job as smooth as glass.
What Else Is Toothpaste Good For?
Once you've selected the perfect abrasive toothpaste, there's a lot you can fix with it. You can eliminate scuff marks on your shoes, turn your car's headlights clear again, and even get rid of those stubborn water rings on beat up furniture. And, of course, you can brush your teeth with it. Whichever way you use your toothpaste, remember it's a wonderful sanding tool in a pinch.
when you wash the car does not it remove the toothpaste?
It isn't the purpose of the toothpaste to fill the gaps/ scratches, its purpose is to grind down the higher levels of the car's clearcoat so that it is more uniform and, hopefully, appears scratch-free. You will have less clearcoat in the end, of course: toothpaste does remove some of it. But if the scratches are shallow enough, this will make no visible difference in the appearance of your car.
I'm still in shock about this! What a great solution for minor paint repairs on your car. After rubbing your car down with toothpaste, seeing as toothpaste is a fine sandpaper, is there a noticeable difference between the shine, or polish, of the treated spot? And, if there is a large area on your vehicle that needs treated, taking it a professional body shop may be your best option for fixing your paint job.
Have also used toothpaste in the same way (without water) to polish silver. Another surprising, very fine abrasive/polishing compound is lipstick. Unless very cheap or hate the color, is best for a small scratch.
does the color of the car matter? or can it be used on any color car?
Unfortunately, this does not work on cars with lime green paint colors due to the fact that anyone who buys a car in this color does not deserve nice things.
OMG I was in tears when our gate guard pointed out scratches on the front of my new Benz. I Googled this and IT WORKED! ALL the scratches GONE from my black car. Something had rubbed up against my car I think. Stupid mall parking!
Hey did you really use the buffer to do this or just wiped vigorously?
If you use toothpaste to remove degradation on your polycarb headlights (from UV), be aware that they will probably re-yellow quicker as you are not re-coating the polycarbonate with an anti-UV coating. This coating is usually supplied in the more expensive headlight reconditioning kits. Anybody have a suggestion for an anti UV coating?
I saw this video about two months ago and I was intrigued enough to grab a tube of toothpaste and my electric buffer. I searched everywhere to find a scratch that met the parameters of this video, but found nothing. I was just about to put a scratch in my neighbor's car, but then I had another idea. It's a little messier than what was presented in the video, but my technique is a time-saver. Instead of a dab of toothpaste, I ran a three-inch line on the buffer pad, set the speed to medium, and went to work. It takes me about 5 seconds to brush my teeth this way and my neighbor said she doesn't mind the minty scent I splatter on the side of her house.
This actually worked perfectly! Mine was from someone else's bumper. Minor scratch but mostly transfer. I rubbed some toothpaste on the scratch with a dry paper towel. And then wiped it of with a wet paper towel. It took less than 10 minutes to do.
Really amazing solution! It has almost reduced the visibility of the scratches by about 90% in some places and lesser in areas where the scratches were deeper. But overall, a clear winner! So cheap and so effective. This can save you hundreds of dollars and a major heartache! Thanks so much for sharing this, very grateful indeed.
Wow, this really works! Just scratched my car pulling into the garage and I was looking up what paint to buy and how to touch up the large scratch on the side of my Lexus. Even looked up what it would cost to fix , then I saw this toothpaste repair. Got out the whitening toothpaste and tried it. It works! Saved so much money and it took 10 minutes. Thanks to the person that posted this!!!
I cannot even begin to thank you for this brilliant idea. Two weeks ago I received some tragic family news. Clearly I should have just stayed home and I did because when I went to pull out of the garage the door was not completely open and I SMASHED the rear window. My car is at the dealership and I have a brand new Mercedes loaner and I just scraped the back of the bumper. I just wanted to sit down and cry. I just used the toothpaste idea and it is hardly visible. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tip. You know...when you are having tough time...you need something to go right! Thank you Heather for the article.
About to try this on my 2016 Expedition that I'm going to trade in. It has 2 scratches that are on the surface. The dealerships see these kinds of scratches and count off $$$ for them.
1/31/18. Just got new driving glasses to pass my DMV (I got Lasik monovision), and didn't judge correctly while backing my car out of my garage. So I got several scuff marks on my rear fender. I found this article by googling, and I used my whitening toothpaste. The paint came off immediately. But there's a shallow scratch about 2 inches long in the clear coat. Oh well, at least it's not obvious and the scuff paint is off. Thank you for posting this "how-to."
Keep trying the tooth paste. My car's scratches were shallow too and I had to put a couple of applications of tooth paste on them. I applied the tooth paste with a damp terry cloth and then wiped the tooth paste off with a dry terry cloth. I had to use a little elbow grease as well.
Wow. I just tried this after spending money on two scratch removers that did nothing. It worked great. Thank you !!!!!!!
Wow! I'm impressed. This really works! Crest whitening, a little elbow grease and the scuff marks from scraping the center post of the garage are gone! So thankful I found this article!
About to try that right now on my 2017 Nissan. My daughter was backing out the yard in my Toyota and got to close to the Nissan and transferred paint from one car to the other smgdh. I will let you all know my results.
Been using the toothpaste for light scratches and skid-like marks on cars, even for clearing the lenses of the headlights.

In Defense Of Trump's Decision To Pull Troops Out Of Syria
By Bill Martens

President Donald Trump's decision to immediately pull all 2,000 troops out of Syria was met with criticism from Republicans and military experts who said the move would allow Islamic State to regroup. Trump has since slowed down the withdrawal plans, but insists America is not "the policeman of the Middle East" and cannot stay in Syria "forever." Our guest explains why he says Trump is right.
