Robocop joins Dubai police to fight real crime

heavenly91 — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 09:06:22 +0800

DUBAI: A robotic policeman which can help identify wanted criminals and collect evidence has joined Dubai's police force and will patrol busy areas in the city, as part of a government programme aimed at replacing some human crime-fighters with machines.

If the "Robocop" experiment is successful, Dubai Police says it wants the unarmed robots to make up 25% of its patrolling force by 2030.

Clad in the colours of the Dubai Police uniform, the life-size robot, which can shake hands and perform a military salute, is the lighter side of a government plan to use technology to improve services and security ahead of Dubai hosting Expo 2020.

"These kind of robots can work 24/7. They won't ask you for leave, sick leave or maternity leave. It can work around the clock," said Brigadier Khalid Nasser Al Razooqi, director general of the Smart Services Department at Dubai Police.

The first automated policeman in the Middle East, the robot on wheels is equipped with cameras and facial recognition software.

It can compare faces with a police database and flag matches to headquarters. It can read vehicle licence plates and its video feed can help police watch for risks such as unattended bags in popular areas of Dubai, a financial and tourism hub.

Members of the public can also talk to the robot to report a crime or communicate with it using a touch screen computer embedded in its chest. Built by Barcelona-based PAL Robotics, and programmed by Dubai Police, the cost of the robot has not been disclosed.

Most people are not nervous about talking to a robot and some even seem to prefer it, Razooqi said.

"We now see the new generations who are using smart devices - they love to use these kind of tools. A lot of them have seen the Robocop movie and they said: you guys, you have done it." — Reuters

Royal Malaysian Navy's Warship caught fire

heavenly91 — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 09:02:37 +0800

LUMUT: The Royal Malaysian Navy's KD Jebat warship caught fire early Friday morning.

A Fire and Rescue Department spokesman said they received a call at 3.15am on the fire on board the Lekiu-type guided missile frigate, which was docked at the naval base here.

"When we arrived, we found that the officers' mess hall was on fire," he said in a statement.

The operation to put out the blaze is ongoing.

There is no indication as to what started the fire.

The 106m-long ship was launched in May 1995 and commissioned in November 1999.

It has taken part in various naval exercises.

It was also showcased during the 14th Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (Lima 2017) in March.

Large venture-backed companies worth nearly $500b

heavenly91 — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 08:58:41 +0800

SAN FRANCISCO: The total valuation of late-stage, venture-backed private companies in the United States and Europe has exploded from a few dozen startups worth a collective $40 billion in 2010 to hundreds of firms that together are now worth almost $500 billion, according to a report released Thursday.

The numbers show the magnitude of the recent trend in which the biggest Silicon Valley startups raise hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars from hedge funds, mutual funds and other private investors while delaying their entrance into public markets.

There are now 471 late-stage private companies - defined as firms that have raised at least $75 million through at least three rounds of financing - with an approximate valuation of $490 billion, according to the report from Scenic Advisement, a San Francisco-based investment bank that facilitates secondary stock transactions.

As recently as 2014, there were only 171 such companies collectively valued at $100 billion, according to the report. Late-stage companies include well-known consumer names like Uber Technologies Inc, Airbnb Inc, DropBox Inc, WeWork Companies Inc and Pinterest Inc as well scores of more obscure companies in fields such as cybersecurity, cloud computing and genomics.

Looking specifically at unicorns, which are defined as private companies that carry valuations of more than $1 billion, Scenic Advisement found that there are now more than 100 - up from just six in 2010. The data includes companies in the United States, Europe and Israel, but excludes the many late-stage companies in Asia.

The dramatic growth of high-valued private companies is mainly a consequence of a huge influx of money into what are seen as big opportunities in the tech sector, combined with regulatory changes that have made it easier for companies to stay private longer.

“We’re going to continue to see the majority of the value in private companies accrue while they’re private, not once they are public per the prior tech wave,” said Minal Hasan, general partner of K2 Global, a venture capital firm. “As a result, more money will continue to flow into private tech companies."

Hasan and others note that a lack of liquidity, paucity of financial information and uneven corporate governance at private companies can create a lot of risk. The largest of all the unicorns, Uber, currently faces a string of problems that have called its $68 billion valuation into question.

Yet there are few signs of a slowdown in the private tech markets. Just last month, Japanese tech entrepreneur Masayoshi Son announced he had raised more than $93 billion for the Softbank Vision Fund, making it the largest tech fund in history.

“We may see some moderating of some of the extreme valuations,” said Peter Christiansen, head of research at Scenic Advisement. “But as far as the trends driving this, I don’t see anything on the horizon that would mitigate what’s driven this asset class over the last few years." - Reuters

Germany will only deport Afghan criminals and

heavenly91 — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 08:56:55 +0800

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany will now deport to Afghanistan only criminals and people it considers a threat, after a bombing in the Afghan capitol of Kabul killed at least 80 people, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday.

Merkel's government began mass deportations of Afghans in December, after taking in more than a million refugees since the summer of 2015. Human rights groups objected, saying the Afghans were being sent back to a dangerous country.

That argument gained strength after a truck bomb blew up in the diplomatic quarter of Kabul on Wednesday. Among the roughly 350 injured were two German embassy employees. An Afghan security guard at the embassy was killed and the embassy itself was badly damaged.

Merkel said deportations would now be considered case by case. Criminals and those deemed a threat - including people who refuse to reveal their identity - would be sent back. People who want to return to Afghanistan of their own free will be allowed to return.

"The (foreign and interior) ministers aim to submit this new assessment by July at the latest," Merkel told reporters.

Some 3,300 Afghans returned of their own volition last year. Sixty-seven people were deported to Afghanistan last year and more than 100 have been deported so far this year.

M’sia and Iran back in business

heavenly91 — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 10:45:40 +0800

PUTRAJAYA: With international sanctions on Iran removed, Putrajaya and Tehran want economic ties between the two countries revived and returned to normal.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said both agreed to have their central banks work together on getting straight back to business.

At a joint press conference at Perdana Putra yesterday with visiting Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, the Prime Minister said he wanted economic and business ties enhanced.

He said transactions between the countries need to be enabled and that the central banks “need to find a workable, new mechanism” to allow the private sector there and here to conduct business efficiently.

“I am confident a new mechanism will be found in the shortest possible time,” he added.

Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said international sanctions on Iran caused bilateral trade to decline steeply.

“For example, between January and June our trade with Iran was about RM1.03bil, which is half of what it used to be.

“So we agreed that our immediate objective is to double our trade in the shortest possible time, and to even go beyond that in subsequent years,” he said.

On the issue of palm oil, Najib said a delegation led by Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Mah Siew Keong and the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) will visit Iran soon to make a presentation on the benefits of the commodity.

“Iran is a big importer of Malaysian palm oil. There are some issues but we are confident that we have a strong scientific basis to show that palm oil is safe, healthy and nutritional,” he said.

MPOB will open a regional office in Tehran by the first quarter of next year, he added.

The Prime Minister expressed Malaysia’s interest in investing in the oil and gas sector, highway construction and automotive industry over there.

Both leaders also agreed to promote travel between their countries, noting that the number of visitors had declined.

Concerning the Muslim world, Najib and Rouhani affirmed co-operation between the two countries to work towards “greater stability and peace” despite belonging to different Islamic schools of thought.

“We both emphasise that Islam, whether Syiah or Sunni, have the same aims and objectives,” Rouhani said.

He said that in the post-sanctions era, there were big amounts of investment flowing into Iran, and that the republic was interested in attracting Malaysian investments.

The Iranian leader was on his first official visit to Malaysia since being elected president in 2013.

Health Ministry bans traditional prod Aman Liquid

heavenly91 — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 10:43:36 +0800

PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry has urged the public not to buy or use a traditional product, ‘Aman Liquid’ as it contains yohimbine, a scheduled poison.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pic) said the registration of the product had been cancelled by the Drug Control Authority on Sept 27, following the detection of the scheduled poison.

“Yohimbine is a type of alkaloid normally found in puasinystalia yohimbe tree and used to treat erectile dysfunction.

“Yohimbine is not allowed in medicines which are classified as traditional,” he said in a statement Saturday.

He said the consumption of the poison could lead to adverse effects such as increase in blood pressure and heart rate, anxiety, insomnia, hallucinations and mania.

“It can also be dangerous to pregnant women, and those with high blood pressure, heart, kidney and liver problems,” added Dr Noor Hisham.

He also warned dealers and distributors to stop the sale and distribution of the product immediately.

“They should be mindful that selling this banned product is a violation under the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984, which carries a maximum fine of RM25,000 or three years’ jail term, or both and RM50,000 or five years, or both for the subsequent offence.

“Errant companies can be fined up to RM50,000 for the first offence and RM100,000 for the subsequent offence,” he added. - Bernama

Armed robbers make off with RM4,000 in goods, cash

heavenly91 — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 10:37:27 +0800

PETALING JAYA: Three robbers carted away RM4,000 worth of goods and cash during a robbery at a sundry shop in Kanchong Darat, Banting.

The incident, which was caught on camera, occurred at 2.45pm on Wednesday and footage of the incident has been making its round on social media.

Kuala Langat OCPD Supt Zailan Tasir said two armed men were seen entering the shop brandishing their weapons at three victims, including a woman in her 40s.

In the video, one of the robbers clad in a white jacket and sunglasses slashed at the cashier table before throwing his weapon at the camera.

He was seen making his way behind the counter before whipping out another weapon believed to be a parang at the cashier.

The suspect then emptied out the drawers of its money, before stealing other goods.

At the same time, his accomplice was seen forcing other workers to the back of the store.

"We believe the men are not Malaysians. At the time of the incident, another accomplice was waiting in their getaway car nearby," he said.

"They managed to steal several packets of cigarettes and RM1,000 in cash," he said.

Supt Zailan said police are in the midst of identifying and tracking down the suspects.

The case is being investigated for armed gang robbery.

PETALING JAYA: Los Angeles-based Yuna Zarai continues to rock and the Malaysian songstress keeps abreast with her fans with her very own SnapChat filter.

Yuna used the popular photo-sharing app to post a “Thank You” to her fans in Atlanta for their attendance at her show.

She also gave a shout out to R&B star Usher for coming on stage.

“Yuna filter YAS!!!!” was her caption for the next Snap, which featured the filter with a header text stating “Chapters US Tour”, a footer of her name and edges approximating the swirly-style art on her Chapters album cover.

She also shared a playful Snap with multi-disciplinary artiste and musician Bosco, whom she had previously performed with.

Chapters is the much-anticipated follow-up to Yuna’s 2013 release Nocturnal.

After its release in April, Chapters broke into the top 10 R&B albums and top 20 R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.

Yuna’s tour in the United States for her new album will cover a few cities such as Boston, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City and also Philadelphia.

Employer kisses female staff daily

heavenly91 — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 10:28:32 +0800

AN employer kisses his female staff every morning as a routine to foster good relationships among colleagues, China Press reported.

Quoting China’s Xin Min Wang daily, it said the staff had to queue up “to accept” the kiss from the man who owned the Beijing company and created the rule.

This “fostering of relationships” gesture is done between 9am and 9.30am every day, it was reported.

The employer claimed that he got the idea from an American company, which practised such morning kisses.

He said his employees were more united as a result of it.

But members of the public were shocked to find out about the rule after a video clip of the man kissing his staff was circulated on the Internet.
