  1. bui bui always scare of heat ma. that why i do my homework to find the best material and able to reuse for the 2nd cycle of the new aircon. way before my new home is here. me thinking either dalkin proshop to install the material and then get gain city to install the aircon (cause wanted to extend warranty till 5 yr) i get my material sauce from here https://www.daikin.com.sg/dsp-materials#Copper
  2. 2 separate system 1 is my failed saved mode. they are independent of each other . that reason i asked if i can switch off the main for 2 month, i will rotate them 2 month... so my aircon nv break down.... even if big problem there always a backup
  3. currently my setting is 25c and mid high fan speed. (will mid high and high the same?) or must be at high fan BTw do you know any trusted aircon servicing company. the blast the aircon compressor with water to wash the dust off the metal grills. i have doing that when it raining , hahaha it like waiting for it to rain big big
  4. here the stuff i shortlisted: 2 separate system 1 (mitsubishi electric ( starmex ) and Daikin ) and it independent of each other so it mean they will their own trunking, owe isolator, own connection to their own circuit to connect to breaker switch, etc.... My choice of material: 3/4" inch Amaflex Class 1 for insulator 25mm uPVC drainage pipe with 30mm or 35mm turn pipe aka corner turn aka corner piping and with at least 1/4' insulation Keystone wiring 4C40, 4C70 (4C40 is for Indoor fancoil, while 4C70 is for compressor to isolator) PSB Tested Gauge 22 or 21 copper wire (Nyflex , DNE or Luvata)
  5. ya, me thinking of once a while like say rest for 2 month then on and let it warm up for 1 day then on aircon for 30min to 1hr to let it everything run then off using remote then off breaker main and 2 month later do the same. i worried if this is ok for aircon or will it shorted it lifespan?
  6. then i carry on with my original plan of dual aircon. BTW how often must aircon be switch on (as in from the breaker switch as in total switch off)? is once per month ok? or once every 2 month?
  7. my block is sheild and not facing toward the evening sun and also is block from evening sun by another blk
  8. there a few camera maker . but the most famous one is The Decline of Kodak. not because it nv spoil market already have alot. (those APS C Size )cmos sensor as compare to P30 pro sensor is at 1/1.7 (due to their tech, the way their design the color pattern huawei claim it about 40% brighter, their should put them at 1inch size) those models POCKET SIZE with APS C sersor are all around 1k to 1.5k, that almost same price as p30 pro: ricoh gr iiI (made in Vietnam) fuji xf10 (made in china) Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III (can be made in china or japan) my pocket say a good quality cam is better choice cause i can buy in superstore and exten warranty to 5yr
  9. the dehumidifier is cheaper then aircon. .. and since my new home will be use alu sheet to cover the windows to keep house cooler and with a dehumidifier + fan. i wonder will be enough not to feel hot and as in be cool enough (not aircon cool, just you dont feel hot and stuffy) here the alu sheet with windows:

  11. any modern pc case like define R6 but fully alu
  12. In short: High humidity levels mean swear more easily Low humidity levels mean swear less easily me thinking of getting a dehumidifier and hope that the humidity can be at around 30% to 40%, so i dun feel hot anymore. if can which mean i can dont need aircon reason for that is DRY AIR FEELS COOLER TO THE HUMAN BODY anyone have any exp? please share
  13. that is stupid. i used to think to get a over 1k to 1.5k hp to have a very good camera phone. then i think a hp last as long as it SEALED battery life aka 2 to 3yr of it lifespan. so a stand alone CC size compact premium cam with a big battery hp say about xiaomi note 7 pro is the best

  15. A 1945 report on airplanes designed by Germany's Horten brothers included this photograph of an unusually shaped parabolic aircraft. Two years later, after the crash of a foreign disc-shaped aircraft in New Mexico, in July 1947, the Counter Intelligence Corps embarked on a manhunt across Western Europe to locate the Horten brothers and their so-called flying disc.

  16. NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. authorities gathered information about Huawei Technologies Co Ltd through secret surveillance that they plan to use in a case accusing the Chinese telecom equipment maker of sanctions-busting and bank fraud, prosecutors said on Thursday. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Solomon said at a hearing in federal court in Brooklyn that the evidence, obtained under the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), would require classified handling. The government notified Huawei in a court filing on Thursday of its intent to use the information, saying it was "obtained or derived from electronic surveillance and physical search," but gave no details. The United States has been pressuring other countries to drop Huawei from their cellular networks, worried its equipment could be used by Beijing for spying. The company says the concerns are unfounded. Brian Frey, a former federal prosecutor who is not involved in the Huawei case, said FISA surveillance, which requires a warrant from a special court, is generally sought in connection with suspected espionage. "The reason they typically would have gotten the surveillance through a FISA court is where we suspect someone may be spying on behalf of a foreign power," Frey said. The U.S. government has been concerned about espionage by Huawei for years, he added. In the Brooklyn case, Huawei and its chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, are accused of conspiring to defraud HSBC Holdings Plc and other banks by misrepresenting Huawei's relationship with Skycom Tech Co Ltd, a suspected front company that operated in Iran. Meng was arrested in Canada in December at the request of the United States to face the charges of bank and wire fraud laid out in the indictment, which was not unsealed until January. She has said she is innocent and is fighting extradition. Huawei last month pleaded not guilty to the 13-count indictment. Chasen Skinner, a spokesman for the company, declined to comment on Thursday on the secret U.S. surveillance, saying the company does not comment on pending litigation. Huawei has said Skycom was a local business partner, but prosecutors said in their indictment against Huawei and Meng that it was an unofficial subsidiary used to conceal Huawei's Iran business. U.S. authorities claim Huawei used Skycom to obtain embargoed U.S. goods, technology and services in Iran, and to move money via the international banking system. The charges against the company include violating U.S. sanctions on Iran. Last month, Reuters detailed how U.S. authorities secretly tracked Huawei's activities by collecting information copied from electronic devices carried by Chinese telecom executives travelling through airports. Reuters also broke news of the bank fraud charges in December and exclusively reported in February how an internal HSBC probe helped lead to the charges against Huawei and Meng. The U.S. sanctions investigation was spurred by Reuters reports over six years ago that Skycom offered to sell embargoed Hewlett-Packard computer equipment to Iran's largest mobile-phone operator and detailed the close ties between Huawei and Skycom. (reut.rs/2sUq8RT https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-skycom/exclusive-huawei-cfo-linked-to-firm-that-offered-hp-gear-to-iran-idUSBRE90U0CC20130131) Trump told Reuters in December that he would intervene in the case if it helped secure a trade deal with China. Meng's lawyers have expressed concerns that she is a pawn. The next court date in the Brooklyn case is set for June 19. https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/u-conducted-secret-surveillance-huawei-prosecutors-171442460--finance.html
  17. We’re all pretty in pink these days, thanks to the bloom of our own “sakura season” this month. It’s a welcome sight after the scorching hot temperatures of March, trailed by the recent April showers. So really, you don’t have to fly all the way to Japan to see those lovely cherry blossoms. Or whine about the fact that you missed out on Gardens by the Bay’s recent Sakura Matsuri. The pale petals are all over the island, and you can feast your eyes on them for free just by strolling around the parks or park connectors. (That is, if it isn’t pouring rain like it seems to be every day this week.) According to the National Parks Board (NParks), some of the blooms spotted along the streets of Singapore include the Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia rosea and Tabebuia pallida), Red Flame (Delonix regia), Cat Claw Ivy (Macfadyena unguis-cati), and Bougainvillea ‘Orange Stripe’. If you snap a picture of the flowering trees that you’d like to share, you can click on NParks’ tree map and show off Mother Nature’s beauty to the rest of the nation.
  18. As a supervisor overseeing screening officers at Changi Airport, it was her job to keep an eye on security checks for contraband. Instead, Nurshaba Samsi stole a $20,000 branded watch from a passenger who had mistakenly left it behind after going through a security screening. The 34-year-old even threw away the Franck Muller watch when she realised that it was not working. On Friday (5 April), Nurshaba was sentenced to four weeks’ jail. She pleaded guilty to one count of dishonestly misappropriating the watch from a traveller, Wenny Damayanti, who was en route to Jakarta. The facts of the case At the time of the offence, Nurshaba was working as a Certis Cisco pier supervisor at Changi Airport. Her job included supervising other aviation screening officers for pre-boarding operations. She is currently unemployed. On 25 August 2018, some time between 3.30pm and 4pm, Damayanti was at Changi Airport Terminal 3’s Combined Gate Hold Room before passing through an X-ray security screening at gate A19. She placed her handbag and her Franck Muller watch into a tray for the screening. Thereafter, she collected her belongings, but forgot her watch, which had dropped onto the floor during the screening. An aviation security officer notified Nurshaba – who was supervising the screening – that he had found a black watch. Nurshaba placed the watch on a standee between the X-ray machines. When she finished her shift, she placed the watch in her pouch and brought it to her locker, where she transferred it to her bag. She then brought the watch home. Damayanti only noticed that she had lost her watch after boarding her flight. She lodged a report with the Changi Airport Department upon reaching Jakarta and was advised to lodge a police report. Her friend did so on her behalf on 1 September 2018. Procedures not followed, restitution made When items are found in the Gate Hold Room, it is standard procedure for officers to key information on the items onto an electronic flight operation form. The items are then handed to the information counter. During investigations, Nurshaba told the police that she found the procedure inconvenient. She said she would simply hand the items over to the information counter. However, Nurshaba did neither of these things. According to Nurshaba’s lawyer John Koh, the woman realised the watch was spoilt after bringing it home and threw it away. “My client did not appreciate the value of the item she was taking. I don’t think anyone would simply discard it away,” said Koh, who is from Populus Law. The watch was not recovered. However, Nurshaba was able to make full restitution of $20,000 on 27 February this year, after receiving an inheritance from her late mother. She is currently unemployed. Koh asked for three to four weeks’ jail, saying, “Nurshaba sincerely regrets the events that have occurred. At her first appearance, she elected to plead guilty and this is indicative that she is truly remorseful for her actions.” However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Chong Yun Ling noted that Nurshaba had abused her position as a supervisor to misappropriate the watch while on duty. He added that there is a procedure for officers to return lost items, but it would be “rendered meaningless” if security officers do not adhere to it. DPP Chong asked for a sentence of five weeks’ jail. Dishonest misappropriation of movable property carries a jail term of up to two years and/or a fine. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/airport-security-officer-stole-20000-watch-passenger-screening-jailed-033048812.html
  19. The scene begins a little after 6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time with two sedans, one black and one silver, fighting for dominance. This internet hero kept vigil and dutifully documented the entire standoff as soon as she became aware of it. And already the controversy begins. Armchair referees began to debate which car has a rightful claim on the spot, which created a debate on the etiquette of parallel parking. And I'm just going to level with you here and state that I have a clear opinion on this matter and will not be keeping it to myself. Team Silver Car argues that the black car clearly passed the spot up and then tried to back up to correct their error. Meanwhile, Team Black Car — AKA Team Right Side of History — counters that proper parallel parking protocol requires you pull up in front of the empty space alongside the car in front of it, turn on your signal, and then back into a spot. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't up for debate. Adherents to Team Silver's position, however, suggest we don't know what happened before this game of parking chicken. And that's fair. I have also observed people pulling what Team Silver suggests Black Car may have done — which is to say it is possible the driver did indeed miss the spot and attempt to reverse course while the silver car was already trying to seize the space. Personally, I'm more comfortable with making the far more likely assumption that the black car was engaged in standard parallel parking etiquette and the silver car either a) doesn't know the rules of parking or, b) decided to throw all decorum out the window rather than spend another hour circling to find a suitable space. Here's where things take a turn from ridiculous to insane. A spot opens up across the street, yet these two knuckleheads refuse to concede and try for the other spot. People, you've got to prioritize peace over pride. At this point, Mariah starts polling her followers over who's in the right. Meanwhile, other drivers are getting increasingly heated. Two drivers' principled fight over this territory is having a ripple effect on the rest of Koreatown. Our fearless documentarian has at this point been standing at the window for nearly an hour, and so I'm going to blame fatigue for this next claim. Mariah has remained fairly neutral up to this point, but her language here suggests she thinks Black Car is in the wrong. Again, my stated position is clear, and I take heard in the knowledge that I have Chrissy Teigen on my side. Folks rightly pointed out that the one exception here is if Black Car didn't have their blinker on. Even still, you don't go nose first into a parallel parking spot. Nevertheless, they persisted and at this point it's been nearly an hour. Dusk has fallen and Mariah has been at her window for a full 60 minutes. However, it's been even longer than an hour for these two drivers. And then, something quite amazing happens... If you predicted Team Silver, congratulations. That was a pretty safe bet, because you have to have a real brass set on you to think it's OK to go nose-first into a parking spot. It stands to reason you'd also have the cojones to get out of the car first. Mariah decides to write each driver a note of appreciation and places them on their windshields. Here it's clear to see that, despite some blamey language earlier, she has come out on the side of black car. However, she created a Gmail account for each driver to argue their case.
  20. What do a Big Mac styrofoam container and a sleek metal tiffin carrier have in common? They both dutifully kept your food unsoiled and warm back in the day—and, surprisingly, are both actual artefacts preserved in the country’s National Collection. Sure it’s easy to discount the former as a gag, but it’s nonetheless part of a long history of food packaging technologies that make up the Singapore story. Presenting another side to our nation’s avid food heritage is new exhibition Packaging Matters: Singapore’s Food Packaging Story from the Early 20th Century, running at the National Museum of Singapore from Apr 6-Sep 15. If you liked the blockbuster exhibition on print advertising that ran through February at the National Library, you’ll definitely enjoy this. Packaging Matters curator Vidya Murthy acknowledged that there might be overlaps in the storytelling in this exhibition, where advertising and the food industry meet—but the overarching story here is vastly different. For one, Packaging Matters uses packaging as a jumping point to talk about industrialisation, evolution of the food industries, advertising, and even Singapore’s lesser-spotlighted design history. Through a mix of mediums spanning video to print, get to learn more about Singapore’s early bottling and canning factories in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, the advent of family-run businesses like Amoy Canning Corporation (which still exists today), and how supermarkets like Cold Storage later burst onto the scene. For another, the National Collection here shines, with more than 150 original artefacts from the folklife collection packed into the cosy space. You’ll see biscuit tins (purportedly once used by a hawker and modified to steam food), old glass bottles including original designs of the first Coca Cola bottle, bygone print ads and vintage tiffin carriers. It’s a thrift shop-loving, pro-hoarding collector’s dream. There’s also an interactive area at the back designed for children; but no less captivating. There you’ll find large hanging installations of our iconic bagged kopi and bandung, as well as a series of art pieces upcycled from packaging materials—made by seniors with dementia who were brought through workshops to recall and recreate their favourite foods of the past. Next door, a section on sustainability brings to light emerging environmental issues surrounding packaging, with a neat line-up of tingkat carriers and straw baskets to highlight how we were more environmentally friendly in the past—even if it was an unconscious move. The festivities kick off this opening weekend (Apr 6-7), with a food and eco-craft market, free film screenings, craft activities and live music performances. Or you could drop by another day, to browse the rich stories on display in children-less peace. Packaging Matters: Singapore’s Food Packaging Story from the Early 20th Century runs from Apr 6-Sep 15 at the Stamford Gallery, National Museum of Singapore.
  21. “Hey, the trip to the doctor’s was pretty fast and hassle-free!” said no one ever. The truth is when you’re sick, all you want to do is to lie down and get some much-needed sleep. Besides, if you start feeling sick in the middle of the night, you’ll need to hunt for a doctor available at the ungodly hour to attend to you. In some cases, you may even feel worse from heading out to the doctor’s given the recent concern about Singapore’s air quality *cough hotspot in Johor could bring haze cough*. Well, going to the doctor’s may be no biggie now with the newly launched Doctor World app, where you can live video-call a Singapore-licensed doctor (available 24/7) right in the comfort of your home. All doctors onboard Doctor World are authorized to make clinical assessments based on the patient’s medical history and symptoms, prescribe medication, and issue sick leave and referral letters (much like the routines you’re familiar at GP clinics). Wondering what you can teleconsult a doctor for? Well, teleconsultation is suitable for a whole range of non-emergency medical conditions including but not limited to: Cough and cold / Sore throat / Constipation and diarrhea / Skin irritation and rashes / Acne / Headache and migraine / Urinary tract infection / Menstrual issues / Gastric problems / Conjunctivitis (without visual disturbances) / Eyelid problems / Well-controlled chronic illnesses that have already been routinely followed up For patients, this means that your doctor’s visit can be much more convenient with round-the-clock teleconsults and medication delivery without even having to step out of the house. Simply put, this means cutting out the hassles of traveling and clinic queues, and at comparatively lower costs, since consultation fees for teleconsults are generally cheaper than that of in-clinic consults. We reckon you were waiting to hear about the cost, right? For a 15-minute teleconsultation, it costs SG$18 nett all day, every day. Medication is charged separately. The entire experience will be cashless and paperless (hallelujah — one less headache), where you can make payment with your debit or credit card. A major plus is that your medication can be delivered 24/7, even at the oddest hours (say, at 3am after your sinfully unhealthy supper), so that you can quickly treat your condition – all at no extra costs since the delivery fee is included in the consultation fee already. Of course, if you need an MC or referral letter, it will be emailed to you as well. Also, it would be utterly frustrating if you were to miss out any key information from the teleconsultation given your dazed, sick state. To counter such problems, Doctor World generates a consultation report to refresh your memory about the diagnosis and prescribed medication. To put it simply, you can easily track past consultations and consultation history all within the app. Sick or not, you might find it handy to download the Doctor World app now, should you need it in the future. Beyond 24-hour teleconsultations, the app also enables you to book medical appointments, buy health products and get up-to-date health information. https://coconuts.co/singapore/lifestyle/skip-queues-video-call-singapore-licensed-doctor-doctor-world-app/
