Pelajar tingkatan satu pulangkan wang tercicir RM37,500

BATU PAHAT – Seorang pelajar tingkatan satu sanggup mengayuh basikalnya sejauh 200 meter untuk mengejar sebuah kereta dipandu seorang wanita untuk memulangkan semula beg tangan mengandungi S$15,000 (RM37,500) yang tercicir.

Pelajar Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Dato’ Syed Esa, Amir Azizan Hashim, 13, mengakui tindakannya itu didorong oleh pesanan ibu tersayang supaya memulangkan kembali setiap barang yang ditemui kepada pemiliknya.

Menurutnya, beg tangan itu terjatuh di tempat letak kereta di sebuah pasar raya setelah wanita terbabit meletakkan beg tangan berkenaan di atas bumbung kereta sebelum meninggalkan lokasi, dipercayai untuk pulang ke Singapura.

“Saya tetap ingat pesanan emak, jika terjumpa barang orang kena pulangkan, kalau boleh beri pada pemiliknya. Kejadian berkenaan berlaku kira-kira jam 10 pagi, awal Januari lalu. Ketika itu saya sedang membeli surat khabar berhampiran sebuah pasar raya yang terletak di Taman Soga.

“Saya menaiki basikal dari rumah yang terletak berhampiran pasar raya itu sebelum ternampak seorang wanita sedang menaiki kereta jenis Nissan berwarna hitam dan beg tangannya berada di atas bumbung kereta.

“Saya percaya wanita berusia lingkungan 30-an itu tidak menyedari beg tangannya berada di atas bumbung kereta sebelum dia terus menggerakkan kenderaannya dan berlalu dari situ,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian.
Amir berkata, sebaik beg tangan wanita itu terjatuh, dia segera bertindak mengambil beg tangan berkenaan dan terus memeriksa kandungannya seterusnya mendapati satu sampul surat mengandungi wang tunai Singapura, dokumen pengenalan diri dan seutas jam tangan.

Anonymous is BACK! Targets Israel by Taking Down Hundreds of Websites and Leaking Emails and Passwords

Greetings World

    For far too long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called "Occupied Territories" by the Israel Defense Force. Like so many around the globe, we have felt helpless in the face of such implacable evil. And today's insane attack and threatened invasion of Gaza was more of the same.

    But when the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all Internet and other telecommunications into and out of Gaza they crossed a line in the sand. As the former dictator of Egypt Mubarack learned the hard way – we are ANONYMOUS and NO ONE shuts down the Internet on our watch. To the IDF and government of Israel we issue you this warning only once. Do NOT shut down the Internet into the "Occupied Territories", and cease and desist from your terror upon the innocent people of Palestine or you will know the full and unbridled wrath of Anonymous. And like all the other evil governments that have faced our rage, you will NOT survive it unscathed.

    To the people of Gaza and the "Occupied Territories", know that Anonymous stands with you in this fight. We will do everything in our power to hinder the evil forces of the IDF arrayed against you. We will use all our resources to make certain you stay connected to the Internet and remain able to transmit your experiences to the world. As a start, we have put together the Anonymous Gaza Care Package – http://bit.ly/XH87C5 – which contains instructions in Arabic and English that can aid you in the event the Israel government makes good on it's threat to attempt to sever your Internet connection. It also contains useful information on evading IDF surveillance, and some basic first aid and other useful information. We will continue to expand and improve this document in the coming days, and we will transmit it to you by every means at our disposal. We encourage you to download this package, and to share it with your fellow Palestinians to the best of your ability.

Internet of food: Arduino-based, urban aquaponics in Oakland

The land in West Oakland where Eric Maundu is trying to farm is covered with freeways, roads, light rail and parking lots so there's not much arable land and the soil is contaminated. So Maundu doesn't use soil. Instead he's growing plants using fish and circulating water.

It's called aquaponics- a gardening system that combines hydroponics (water-based planting) and aquaculture (fish farming). It's been hailed as the future of farming: it uses less water (up to 90% less than traditional gardening), doesn't attract soil-based bugs and produces two types of produce (both plants and fish).

Aquaponics has become popular in recent years among urban gardeners and DIY tinkerers, but Maundu- who is trained in industrial robotics- has taken the agricultural craft one step further and made his gardens smart. Using sensors (to detect water level, pH and temperature), microprocessors (mostly the open-source Arduino microcontroller), relay cards, clouds and social media networks (Twitter and Facebook), Maundu has programmed his gardens to tweet when there's a problem (e.g. not enough water) or when there's news (e.g. an over-abundance of food to share).

Maundu himself ran from agriculture in his native Kenya- where he saw it as a struggle for land, water and resources. This changed when he realized he could farm without soil and with little water via aquaponics and that he could apply his robotics background to farming. Today he runs Kijani Grows ("Kijani" is Swahili for green), a small startup that designs and sells custom aquaponics systems for growing food and attempts to explore new frontiers of computer-controlled gardening. Maundu believes that by putting gardens online, especially in places like West Oakland (where his solar-powered gardens are totally off the grid), it's the only way to make sure that farming remains viable to the next generation of urban youth.

Bosnian man walks 5,700km to Makkah to perform Hajj

SARAJEVO: A Bosnian Muslim pilgrim who left last December on pilgrimage to Makkah by foot told AFP on Monday that he has arrived after passing through seven countries including war-torn Syria.

“I arrived Saturday in Makkah. I am not tired, these are the best days of my life,” Senad Hadzic, 47, said when reached by phone on a Saudi mobile number.

He said he had covered some 5,700 kilometres (3,540 miles) in 314 days of walking through Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria and Jordan to the Muslim holy city in south-western Saudi Arabia, with a backpack weighing 20 kilos (44 pounds).

He charted his progress on his Facebook page, where he posted a picture apparently of an entry/exit card for foreigners issued by the Syrian interior ministry.

“I passed through Syria in April. I walked some 500 kilometres in 11 days. I went through Aleppo and Damascus and passed dozens of check-points held by pro-government and rebel forces alike, but I was never detained,” Hadzic said.

“At a check-point held by (President Bashar) al-Assad’s forces the soldier ordered me to empty my backpack … When I showed them my Quran and explained I was making the pilgrimage on foot, they let me go,” he told AFP.

“I walked in the name of Allah, for Islam, for Bosnia-Hercegovina, for my parents and my sister,” he added.

On his Facebook page he said God had shown him the way in dreams, including to go through Syria instead of Iraq.

During the pilgrimage, Hadzic faced temperatures ranging from minus 35 Celsius in Bulgaria to plus 44 Celsius in Jordan.

He said he had to wait in Istanbul for several weeks to get permission to cross the Bosphorus Bridge on foot and two months at the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia to obtain an entry visa.

The hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and must be undertaken at least once in a lifetime by all Muslims who are able to.

American killed in Libya protest over Prophet Muhammad SAW film

CAIRO (AP) — Protesters angered over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad fired gunshots and burned down the U.S. consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, killing one American, witnesses and the State Department said. In Egypt, protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and tore and replaced the American flag with an Islamic banner.

Tuesday's attacks were the first such assaults on U.S. diplomatic facilities in either country, at a time when both Libya and Egypt are struggling to overcome the turmoil following the ouster of their longtime leaders, Moammar Gadhafi and Hosni Mubarak, in uprisings last year.

The protests in both countries were sparked by outrage over a film ridiculing Muhammad produced by an Israeli filmmaker living in California and being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the United States. Excerpts from the film dubbed into Arabic were posted on YouTube.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton confirmed that one State Department officer had been killed in the protest at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. She strongly condemned the attack and said she had called Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif "to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya."

Clinton expressed concern that the protests might spread to other countries. She said the U.S. is working with "partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide."

"Saya memang tidak fikir apa-apa...syukur kepada Allah atas kejayaan pingat perak ini. Pencapaian ini adalah yang terbaik sepanjang setahun saya melibatkan diri dalam sukan memanah.

"Saya tidak pernah bertemu dia (Oscar) sebelum ini, jadi saya hanya fokus dan cuba memberikan saingan yang terbaik," katanya.

Hasihin berkata beliau juga gembira kerana berjaya melunaskan impian bekas pemanah elit paralimpik negara, Allahyarham Mohd Salam Sidik untuk mengalahkan pemanah Iran, Ebrahim Anjbarkivaj dalam saingan separuh akhir.

"Saya ingat lagi arwah pernah kata dia hendak kalahkan pemanah Iran itu suatu hari nanti. Saya pegang kata-kata arwah itu dan bila berjumpa Ebrahim, saya berjaya kalahkan dia," kata pemanah berusia 27 tahun itu yang pertama kali beraksi di Sukan Paralimpik.

Malaysia's pregnant shooter, Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi is in London Olympic!

Malaysia's pregnant shooter, Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi, has made the trip to London and will compete in next week's 10m rifle event, just one month before she's due to give birth to a baby girl. She's not the first pregnant Olympian in history, but at 34 weeks is believed to be the furthest along.

The 29-year-old qualified for the Games at the Asian Shooting Championships in January, days after finding out she was pregnant. At the time, she had hoped her health would allow her to compete in London. So far so good.

Doctors say Nur Suryani is fine to compete. One of the few concessions she'll make is leaving London soon after her event on the advice of doctors who don't want her flying after 35 weeks.

In a sport that requires precision, calm and concentration, how will Nur Suryani compete with a child moving around her womb? "I will talk to the baby before I compete," she said in April. "[I'll say] no kicking, stay calm for one hour and 15 minutes only please."

She understands that some may criticize her Olympic quest but isn't fazed by it.
