Viral Video Shows 1 Of Hong Kong Harbour's 2 Giant Rubber Ducks Deflating Over The Weekend

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.

One of two giant rubber ducks that were anchored in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour sadly came to an untimely end over the weekend

The 'Double Ducks', an art installation designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, were unveiled on Friday, 9 June, attracting hundreds of citizens and tourists outdoors.Hofman said the pair of 59-foot ducks represent "twice the fun, double the happiness" and are aimed at bringing new excitement to the city, reported Reuters.The artist had also put up a single smaller yellow duck in the city's harbour back in 2013, and was elated to introduce a pair this year.

Unfortunately, after only a day out in the sun, one of the beloved, giant yellow ducks deflated in front of its many fans

A video of one of the twin ducks deflating around 1.30pm went viral on Saturday, 10 June.Many were dismayed to see the adorable figure collapsing into itself while its friend cheerily loomed on."It's a pity. I originally thought I could see two rubber ducks," said a 72-year-old who went to the harbour docked in a duck-themed outfit."We hoped to see two ducks, but it's also cute that one deflated. Maybe because it's too hot in Hong Kong," said another 28-year-old tourist.

It was later reported that the organisers had decided to deflate one of the ducks due to safety concerns

According to South China Morning Post, a routine inspection found that a part of the duck's surface had stretched due to the hot weather.The deflated duck was sent to a shipyard for repair, and as of writing, it has completed reliability tests and will be reinflated soon.Meanwhile, its friend showed no signs of any abnormalities and remains on display, all alone, as scheduled.

This Disease Is Called The "Silent Killer" And It Affects 500 Women In Malaysia Yearly

A report by Bernama last year said that around 100,000 Malaysians suffer from cancer every year, and most of them are women

Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya made the statement on 3 April 2016. "It is estimated that one in four Malaysians will suffer from cancer by the age of 75 years, and among the reasons is the increase in population and a longer life span."We expect that by 2020, there will be an increase of 15% in the number of cancer cases, and this comprises senior citizens," explained Dr Hilmi. Dr Hilmi also listed the five main cancers that affect Malaysians, namely:1. Breast cancer - 14.5% 2. Intestinal cancer - 12.1% 3. Lung cancer - 11.8%4. Cervical cancer - 5.7% 5. Throat cancer - 5.4%In 2014, cancer was the fourth major cause of death in government hospitals at 13.02%.

Speaking of women and cancer, today, 8 May, is World Ovarian Cancer Day. It is a day dedicated to increasing awareness and educating the community about ovarian cancer and its symptoms.

Did you know about 500 Malaysian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year?

While the number may not seem like a lot, know that 70% of women are diagnosed at the third or fourth stage of the disease, limiting and lowering their chances of recovery.

Image via IMU News

Dubbed as the "silent killer", the symptoms of the ovarian cancer are very hard to detect so it usually goes unnoticed until it is at an advanced stage.  What is ovarian cancer and who are at risk of developing it? Ovarian cancer is the cancer of the ovaries and is usually more commonly seen in elderly women, between the ages of 50 to 59. However, there is a possibility of it developing early in women with an inherited gene mutation. The genes breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2) can increase a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Other factors that may influence a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer are:

			1. Family history - If you have a family member - mother, sister, daughter who had or have ovarian cancer, you have a higher risk of getting it too. 2. History of breast cancer - If you had or have breast cancer, there is an increased risk of you developing ovarian cancer. 3. Long-term usage of estrogen hormone replacement therapy 4. Women who became pregnant after that age of 35 and carried the pregnancy to full term. However, breastfeeding is said to reduced the risk of getting ovarian cancer. 5. Usage of oral contraceptives - Women who have been taking birth control pills for an extended period of time have a lower risk of developing ovarian cancer. Note that oral contraceptives are however linked to other types of cancer including breast and cervical.

According to the Malaysian Oncology Society, women with ovarian cancer do not usually show any symptoms and it can be hard to diagnose as it may mimic symptoms of less serious conditions like indigestion and bloating

Here are some common symptoms of ovarian cancer:  - abdominal discomfort/pain ( gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps) - nausea - diarrhoea- constipation or frequent urination - loss of appetite - unexplained weight gain or loss - abnormal vaginal bleedingHowever, having these symptoms is not a confirmation that a woman has ovarian cancer, which is why she should consult a doctor should she experience any of these symptoms.

After the doctors identify these symptoms, patients will then have to go through a series of tests for the doctors to confirm that they do have ovarian cancer

Image via Health Life Media

If the doctors think that the patient may have ovarian cancer, they will usually conduct a few imaging tests including ultrasound (transvaginal ultrasound), CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans. These tests will help them determine where exactly the tumour is at, how large it is and the stage of the cancer. A blood test will also be conducted to test for the presence of a protein called CA-125, which can be released by certain ovarian cancers. If the doctors find any suspicious tumours or spots, they may conduct a biopsy to check for presence of ovarian cancer. There are four stages of ovarian cancer: Stage 1 - Cancer is limited to the ovary. Stage 2 - Cancer is within the organ surrounding the hipStage 3 - Cancer is within the abdominal cavityStage 4 - Cancer has spread to distant organsAdvanced stages of ovarian cancer are usually fatal or very difficult to treat. Thus, the sooner the cancer is detected, the better chance the patient has for recovery. Only 15% of ovarian cancers are diagnosed at stage 1.

Wanna Eat Self-Heating Cup Noodle Or Hot Pot On MAS Flights? Well, It's Banned Now

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

It was announced this week that self-heating meals or ready-to-eat meals are now banned on all Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) flights with immediate effect

MAS, in a statement on their website, said these items are no longer allowed to be brought on board as either checked-in or cabin baggage "due to safety concerns".This includes heat packs or self-heating packs, such as quick-and-easy hot pot, rice, and drinks."The safety and comfort of passengers and the crew remain of utmost importance to Malaysia Airlines," the company said.

Image via CGTN

MAS said these items contain dangerous substances

The technology used in self-heating meals — flameless ration heaters — involve substances such as magnesium powder, iron powder, self-burning solid carbon, or corrosive calcium oxide that release flammable gas on contact with water.This type of chemical reaction can actually heat the food to about 100°C, without any type of visible flame.

Image via Shopee

In the same way that certain cellular phones and devices are not allowed on planes because their batteries could explode, these self-heating meals are similar

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has done a lot of testing and have stated that these should not be used on an aircraft.In the FAA report, the release of hydrogen gas from these flameless ration heaters is of a sufficient quantity to pose a potential fire hazard for those onboard an airplane. The flameless ration heaters could also be accidentally activated inside a confined area such as in an overhead storage bin or a cargo compartment, which could be dangerous as well.

Did you know that leaving scented candles burning over their stated time can damage your lungs? Read about it here:

                Your Scented Candles May Be Cute But Please Don't Leave Them Burning For Too Long

"Aku Dah Malu Kena Fight Untuk Diorang" - Luahan Serik Seorang Lelaki Ambil Pekerja Melayu

Memang tak dapat dinafikan bahawa peluang pekerjaan pada masa kini adalah agak terhad dan sukar untuk didapati

Terdapat banyak faktor yang menyukarkan seseorang individu itu untuk diterima bekerja antaranya ialah pengalaman, skil dan yang paling penting adalah attitude. Ketiga-tiga elemen ini amat penting sekiranya anda mahu diambil bekerja di sesebuah organisasi dan syarikat terutamanya attitude yang anda tonjolkan sewaktu menghadiri temuduga. Yelah, bak kata orang first impression ni sangatlah penting dalam apa-apa jua situasi. Jadi bila nak pergi temuduga tu, attitude perlu lah jaga. Betul tak?

Seperti yang diceritakan oleh seorang pengirim bernama Ali di IIUM Confession semalam, dia yang dahulunya mempunyai pengalaman sebagai panel sesi temuduga telah berhadapan pelbagai jenis orang sepanjang kariernya

Namun begitu, Ali menyatakan bahawa dia berasa serik untuk mengambil pekerja Melayu untuk bekerja. Tetapi kenapa?Baca kisah penuh confession tersebut di bawah:

Aku kerja engineer. Position tak tinggi mana tapi aku dapat opportunity dari boss aku untuk pilih resume and interview orang. Dalam banyak-banyak resume, aku shortlisted 4 orang. Semua Melayu.Aku call dorang untuk interview. Semuanya datang at least 30minit lambat untuk interview. All of them didn’t dress formally. One pakai jeans koyak, baju biasa. One of them bila tanya reason for leaving previous company, alasan dia, dia gaduh dengan boss.So aku pilih one of them. Aku fight dengan boss Cina aku untuk offer dia higher salary. Boss aku pun setuju. So aku tunggu dia for 2 months sementara dia tender resignation dia. Even ada calon yang more suitable, aku reject sebab dah confirm dengan mamat ni.

After 2 months, mamat ni datang kerja. Itu pun dia datang seminggu lambat dari tarikh dia janji nak start. Aku memang dah ready workstation untuk dia. Siap beli meja and computer baru. Then lepas lunch, dia tak masuk office balik. Aku call, tak jawab. Message tak reply. Terus tak datang kerja. Punya lah malu aku dengan boss. Siap fight untuk bawak dia masuk, then lari macam tu je.Kita hire another Malay guy. Mamat ni pulak dalam sebulan dia kat sini, datang tak datang ikut suka hati dia. Then terus resign. Tak bagi surat apa. Just bagitau aku bila aku call dia.So boss aku ambik alih hiring process. Budak India and cina yang datang interview semua on time and pakai smart. Siap tie and coat. Padahal kilang je. Then boss aku hire Cina fresh graduate. No experience. Budak ni, kerja start pukul 8.30am, every day dia datang pukul 8am. Balik pun lepas aku balik dalam 7pm. Dua bulan dia dah pandai buat what is expected of him. Tak buang masa lepak rokok, lepak sembang.

Aku bagi advise kat budak Melayu luar sana. Korang bukan main bising bila orang lain senang dapat kerja. Korang kutuk habis kaum lain. Tapi bila korang dapat opportunity, korang malas. Korang tak dedicated. And korang kurang ajar. Korang kena balajar untuk jangan jadi malas. Jangan rasa korang bagus sangat. Belajar.So aku nak bagitau kat sini, lepas ni, aku memang akan aware kalau nak ambik Orang Melayu kerja. Sebab aku dah kena malu fight untuk dorang only to be humiliated.

Walaupun begitu, rata-rata orang ramai yang membaca perkongsian tersebut tidak bersetuju dengan pandangan pengirim tersebut malah menyalahkan diri pengirim itu sendiri

Kata mereka, ini bukan mengenai bangsa tetapi sifat, perangai dan attitude seseorang individu itu sendiri.Dan adalah salah pengirim itu sendiri kerana mengambil individu yang jelas-jelas bermasalah sewaktu temuduga.

Dalam situasi sebegini sebagai seorang penemuduga, mereka sepatutnya menilai dengan teliti calon yang hadir.
Manakala, calon juga seharusnya lebih bersedia sebelum menghadiri sebarang temuduga.

Daripada menyalahkan mana-mana bangsa, hakikatnya masalah sikap individu itu sendirilah yang harus diubah.Pengurusan masa yang baik, interpersonal skil yang bagus, beretika dan bertanggungjawab di tempat kerja adalah kualiti yang perlu ada pada setiap pekerja. Tidak akan ada majikan yang akan mengambil pekerja yang langsung tiada kualiti sebegini.

"Malaysia Menang Aku Bogel!"- 'Tweet' Gadis Ini Akhirnya Makan Diri

Keputusan acara polo ekuestrian Sukan SEA ke-29 Kuala Lumpur (KL2017) semalam berpihak kepada Malaysia yang berjaya menewaskan Brunei 12-4

Alamak KJ nak jatuh tu!
Image via News Strait Times

Acara sukan yang disertai oleh Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Khairy Jamaluddin dan Putera Brunei, Putera Abdul Mateen Bolkiah itu memang ditunggu-tunggu para gadis yang ingin menyaksikan pertarungan di antara daddy kesayangan mereka dan putera kacak dari negara Brunei itu. Bukan sahaja putera dari Brunei, malahan puteri Brunei, Puteri Azemah Ni'matul turut menyertai acara tersebut. "Hari ini adalah perlawanan selebriti kerana kehadiran Putera Sultan Brunei, Putera Abdul Mateen Bolkiah dan Puteri Azemah yang amat baik dan mesra rakyat. "Saya amat terkejut dengan kehadiran ribuan penonton kerana sebelum ini saya pernah bermain di final Kejohanan Polo Terbuka Malaysia tetapi ia tidak seramai ini," kata Khairy Jamaluddin kepada Berita Harian.

Tidak terkecuali seorang pengguna Twitter, Lala Rahim yang turut menyatakan sokongannya dengan cara yang agak luar dari kebiasaan

Nurul Adilla Abd Rahim, gadis manis berusia 23 tahun ini menjadi perhatian netizen selepas kenyataannya di Twitter yang mahu berbogel sekiranya Malaysia menang acara polo pada pagi semalam menjadi viral di media sosial.“Aku rasa team Polo Malaysia menang, sebab diorang memang terer. Malaysia menang aku bogel!”

Image via Lala Rahim

Bagaimanapun tweet yang dibuat gadis itu telah dipadam selepas beberapa jam.

Tapi seperti biasa, orang kita memang laju bab screenshot perkara-perkara macam ni

Maka, ramailah pengguna Twitter terutamanya dalam kalangan lelaki yang menuntut janji beliau untuk berbogel selepas kemenangan berpihak kepada pasukan Malaysia dalam acara polo itu. Tidak kurang juga mereka yang mengecam tweet tersebut.

Image via Lala Rahim

Beliau menjelaskan bahawa apa yang ditulisnya di Twitter itu hanyalah sekadar gurauan tanpa sebarang niat untuk benar-benar melakukannya

"Saya tak sedar gurauan saya ini dianggap sesuatu yang serius. Perkataan ‘bogel’ itu bukan bermakna saya akan betul-betul nak bogel pun."Ia juga bukan satu taruhan kalau pasukan Malaysia menang atau kalah. Ia bukan sesuatu yang disengajakan."Saya akui perkataan ‘bogel’ itu agak sensitif dan saya mohon maaf sekiranya ada yang salah faham di atas kenyataan itu,” katanya kepada mStar Online.

Menurutnya lagi, selepas ini beliau akan lebih berhati-hati sebelum mengeluarkan apa-apa kenyataan di media sosial

38 Malaysians Nabbed After Gathering To Take Pictures Of Flowers At A Pond In Melaka

38 individuals were detained for violating the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) to take pictures of flowers at a pond in Melaka yesterday, 26 May

The group was spotted enjoying a picturesque view of purple water hyacinths on a pond in Taman Semabok Perdana without practising social distancing.According to Bernama, those detained included three babies, six children, two teens, and seven elderly folks.Central Melaka police chief assistant commissioner Afzanizar Ahmad said the other 20 individuals - aged between 19 and 55 - were fined RM1,000 for breaching Rule 7(1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures Within the Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2020.The police raided the area at about 12pm on Tuesday.

Afzanizar said the arrest came after the police had warned the public against gathering at the pond amidst the CMCO

Harian Metro reported the district police chief as saying that the standard operating procedure (SOP) under the CMCO stipulates that people are not allowed to gather in any recreational area to prevent the spread of COVID-19.The group was told to disperse, but they stubbornly refused. Thus, it resulted in 20 individuals being taken to the Central Melaka police headquarters to face compounds amounting to RM1,000 each.Afzanizar added that the police are now working with local authorities and the People's Volunteer Corps (RELA) officers to tighten control of the area after seeing a high public presence and people not practising social distancing at the pond.

Taman Semabok Perdana used to be a fishing spot, but as of late, it has become a popular site for the spectacular scenery adorned with purple flowers

Image via Instagram @ricc0223

In an earlier report by Harian Metro, the sight of the pond was compared to a springtime scenery in Europe.A local living in the area said the growth of the water hyacinths is as wide as a football field. However, an elderly pensioner said that the plant originated from South America is actually bad for the environment.According to him, although the plant creates a spectacular view, it causes oxygen depletion in the water and affects fish breeding.A fact sheet by BioNET-EAFRINET noted that the water hyacinth, also known by its scientific name Eichhornia Crassipes, is widely considered to be the world's worst water weed."It clogs waterways preventing river travel, blocks irrigation canals, destroys paddy rice fields, and ruins fishing grounds. By shading the water, these plants can deprive native freshwater plants of sunlight and animals of oxygenated water," it said.

Remember to #JustStayAtHome. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

Last Thursday, 21 May, three cyclists were fined RM1,000 each for cycling across states:

                3 Men Were Caught Cycling From Ampang To Jelebu. Now They Each Have To Pay RM1,000 Fine

Police and Rela personnel found the trio to be involved in interstate travel without permission amidst CMCO.

Man Nearly Dies After Shoving Up An Eel Up His Anus To Cure Constipation

In a desperate bid to cure his constipation, a 49-year-old man from China inserted a live, moving eel into his anus

According to South China Morning Post, the man, surnamed Liu, was quickly rushed to the hospital after he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.Doctors saw that Liu's stomach was swollen to an abnormal size and rushed him into surgery immediately.

During the operation, doctors were shocked to find a swamp eel in his stomach along with faeces and food residue

Image via South China Morning Post

Liu told doctors that he inserted the eel into his anus in an effort to clear the blockage. He believed that the method was an "ancient folk medicine" used to treat constipation.

The eel had broken through his intestines, creating a mess inside his abdominal cavity that nearly killed him

Image via Guangzhou Daily

"We asked Mr. Liu when we spotted the eel in his stomach, he said the eel went into his anus by mistake. But after the surgery, he told us that he actually put an eel inside his anus himself,” said surgeon Dr. Zhao Zhirong as quoted by Nextshark.He also added that the situation could have been much worse had he waited to come to the hospital.

The eel was already dead when the doctors took it out. The man is currently recovering in the hospital

Image via Guangzhou Daily

Eels are a common fish that's found in many parts of China. Back in 2010, a man died after inserting an eel into his anus as a "joke". The fish chewed his way through his bowels, causing injuries which were fatal.

Police Say The Sarawakian Who Claimed He Lured People Into Selling Their Kidneys Was Lying

A local man, who was exposed by a foreign newspaper for his alleged involvement in an international organ trafficking racket, was lying that he lured people to sell their organs, according to the Sarawak police

In a statement today, 26 August, Sarawak Police Commissioner Aidi Ismail said that claims about the Sarawakian, identified as Shaifullizan Abdul Mutalib, being an international human organ trader are untrue.According to Aidi, a detailed investigation by the department found that the 48-year-old's claim to have been involved in buying and selling human organs is false, reported Bernama.He said that none of the testimonies obtained by the investigating team pointed towards the suspect's involvement in the organ trade as claimed by the foreign newspaper on 8 August.The Sun, which is a UK-based tabloid newspaper, had "exposed" Shaifullizan for his alleged involvement in an international organ trafficking racket for which he claims to have brokered sales of 45 kidneys.However, the Sarawak Police Commissioner said that the man had lied to The Sun."Our investigation also found that the suspect had made false claims during his interview with The Sun. We have also reached out to the reporter in the interview who gave his full cooperation to the police," he said.

Image via Astro Awani

The case, however, took a new twist today, 26 August, when he was re-arrested for criminal breach of trust (CBT) in an unrelated case

The man was under remand since 14 August after being arrested on 13 August.On 21 August, his previous remand order was extended for five days and it was scheduled to expire today, 26 August, when he was re-arrested at about 11am in connection with a 2013 case.He is said to have allegedly committed CBT when he was working with the Sarawak Insolvency Department in 2013 and issued several of the department's payment vouchers worth a total of RM249,101.25 to individuals who were not related to the department, according to a report in Borneo Post Online."An investigation paper on CBT was sent to the state deputy public prosecutor on Monday, 24 August, and a decision has been made to charge the suspect under Section 409 of the Penal Code," Aidi said.Section 409 of the Penal Code is criminal breach of trust by a public servant or agent and carries imprisonment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of twenty years and with whipping and fine.The Sarawak police will charge him on Thursday, 27 August.

What did the foreign newspaper report in its exposé?

In its report on 8 August, the UK's tabloid newspaper had said that the man from Kuching, Sarawak is involved in organ trafficking by luring poor victims from around the world to sell their organs.The man bragged about masterminding 45 illicit kidney sales, according to The Sun.Describing him as a "sinister broker" who could arrange illegal transplant tourism packages for British people at GBP85,000 (RM465,923), the newspaper said that the man uses Facebook to lure his victims."The Malaysian, who has no medical experience, says he has more than 100 worldwide potential kidney sellers on his books, sourced through his Facebook page. And he claims to have been contacted by at least five Britons offering to sell their organs," the report said, adding that the 48-year-old claims to have been approached on Facebook by another British national wanting to buy a kidney.

Following the exposé, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador had said that while his department is sceptical about the claim made by the foreign newspaper, an investigation will be carried out

"We are very sceptical of the revelation, therefore we will ensure that such sensational news is thoroughly investigated," he was quoted as saying by Harian Metro on Thursday, 13 August.According to the top cop, the exposé has clearly affected the country's image.

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah has warned people against participating in gatherings or flash mobs to protest price hikes of goods if they failed to abide by the law

The warning comes amidst planned demonstrations by Amanah today, 16 July in parliamentary constituencies throughout the country to rally Malaysians to express their discontent against price hikes.According to Acryl Sani, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have taken note of videos circulating on social media which called people to participate in a flash mob to protest the rising prices of goods.In a brief media statement today, he said that the people are advised to not participate in any flash mobs or assemblies that do not comply with the conditions under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.

			Stern action will be taken against the flash mob/assembly organisers or participants who fail to obey the law.
        IGP Acryl Sani

He said that police are monitoring the activities that could disrupt public order to ensure the nation's security situation is not affected

The IGP advised people to cooperate by not getting involved in such activities.Amanah, which is one of the component parties of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, had posted that the party will be facilitating a "Bantah Barang Naik" flash mob near parliament today.

AMANAH anjur flash mob Bantah Barang Naik di seluruh parlimen esok 16 Julai 2022, jam 5.15 petang.Semua rakyat prihatin dijemput bersama-sama hadir menyatakan bantahan dalam flash mob ini.#AmanahProgresifPeduli pic.twitter.com/vimSvU7aJc— Parti Amanah Negara (@PartiAmanah) July 15, 2022

Amanah had previously warned that it will organise a large-scale rally nationwide on 16 July if the federal government under the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition failed to lower the prices of essential goods.

Earlier this month, Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) Melaka director Norena Jaafar told Malaysians to simply adjust their lifestyle by eating less eggs to deal with the inflation:

                If Prices Are Rising, Just Eat Less Eggs, KPDNHEP Melaka Director Advises People

It's that simple.

Amazon Is Teasing A Mystery Product Event For June. What Will It Be?

On 4 June, Amazon posted a teaser trailer to YouTube about an upcoming product launch event for what could be its rumoured 3D smartphone. WATCH:

While the video is slim on actual details, it's rich in clues

First, it features user reactions who say things like, "I've never seen anything like this." Others marvel at how "it moved with me" and "it's very real life."

        mashable.com

The invite request page features a picture of what looks like a Amazon-branded phone with black casing. It looks strikingly similar to the alleged leaked photos of what's said to be the 3D smartphone making the rounds online.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg is citing a source close to the matter saying Amazon is officially launching a smartphone this month, although the report didn't clarify if it will include a 3D display

The e-commerce giant tweeted a link to its online invite form Wednesday, telling customers to "Join Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos for our launch event" on June 18.

Reports suggest that the phone, if it is a phone, will contain a number of retina-tracking sensors to help create the 3D effect. Skeptics say it'd be hard to design apps for a 3D display and that in the wrong circumstances, it'd potentially ruin your privacy.

Interestingly enough, Amazon isn’t just sending press invites, but is letting developers and customers request an invitation to the event in Seattle on 18 June

If you’ll be in the area on June 18, you can head to Amazon’s website to sign up.

        amazon.com

This is the first time Amazon has broadcast one of its events so broadly

It's an unexpected move, given that large tech companies, Amazon included, typically keep tight reins over who gets invited to a launch event. But Amazon is challenging that image by opening its doors to the public instead of just journalists and partner developers. The company has repeatedly said it's No. 1 focus is its customers, so the quasi-open invite to consumers may be another way for it to drive the point home.

        cnet.com

Although it's been long said that Amazon is planning custom 3D interface, it wouldn't actually be the first phone with a 3D-enabled display. Various 3D phones, including the HTC Evo 3D appeared a few years ago, but they failed to get any traction.

Regret Updating To iOS 10? Here's How You Can Uninstall It And Go Back To iOS 9

Apple's iOS 10 was released last week on 13 September. Just like the iPhone 7, not everyone is a fan of the tech giant's latest update for its mobile devices.

Image via BGR

The update includes revamped emojis, in-iMessage apps and the controversial removal of the swipe-to-open lock screen.

Since iOS 10's release, some users have complained that the software has made their device sluggish, and warned fellow Apple customers not to upgrade

My phone laggy and charge extra slow after the update! Thanks ios10 . And whats with this water gun ,  — pppppppp (@0hsnapitspat) September 15, 2016

my phone has been so slow ever since I updated it to the iOS 10 — sara burrows (@saraburrowsx) September 20, 2016

just updated to iOS 10.. my phone is now very slow— Jake Zous  (@Trollzous) September 19, 2016

So if you're one of the unfortunate ones who are struggling to adjust to the new lock screen or think it has slowed down your device, there is a way to uninstall iOS 10 and return to the older iOS 9!

Image via Redmond Pie

Before you proceed, make sure you've backed up everything on your iPhone because otherwise all your data and apps will be wiped.

First, find an iOS 9 ipsw file on your computer – you can do this by heading into 'youruserfolder', Library, iTunes and in the folder iPhone Software Updates or iPad Software Updates

Image via Dailymail

If you are unable to find the latest one on your Mac, then simply run a search for download ipsw and select and download the correct file to the device.

Next, plug your iPhone or iPad into your Mac (or PC - the steps are essentially the same) then launch iTunes

Image via Apple Support

Click on your device in the iTunes interface and select Summary. Now hold down the Alt/Option (or Shift on a PC) key, and click the Restore button. To note that you'll need to disable the Find My feature on the device if you've enabled it.Now navigate back to the iOS 9 ipsw file and click Open. iTunes will now reinstall iOS 9 on your iPad or iPhone.

If necessary, you might need to launch Recovery mode

Image via iMore

If iTunes shows that you are already running the latest version of iOS on the device, you may need to use Recovery mode.Do this by shutting down the device, plug one end of the cable into your Mac or PC and hold the Home button on the iPhone/iPad while you connect the other end to the device.When the Connect to iTunes screen appears, release the Home button and iTunes should notify you that your device is in Recovery mode.Finally, hold the Option key, or Shift if you're using PC, click Restore, and open the ipsw file to begin the installation process.

There you have it! A quick guide on how to downgrade iOS 10 to iOS 9.

"I only ask that the people accept the news which was announced by the palace today," the Bersatu president was said while speaking to the media at his residence in Bukit Damansara Saturday evening.The 72-year-old politician also said that he would like to express his gratitude to the Yang Di-Pertuan (YDPA), Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, and thank those who gave him moral support.

			And I have been continuously grateful over the gift Allah has given me.

Muhyiddin's appointment for the post of Malaysia's eighth Prime Minister comes amidst the political crisis that had left the country without a government after the ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition collapsed.

Muhyiddin, who is Pagoh Member of Parliament (MP), only spoke to the media briefly, during which he conveyed his thanks to everyone

"I am grateful to Allah for the opportunity to become the eighth Prime Minister and for the decree by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong," he said, as reported by New Straits Times.

"Workers Today Are Too Obsessed With Pay And Material Things"

Meet Lim Peck Hui, she is a "technopreneur" and the managing director of Tunity Technologies, a Singapore-based firm

Image via Channel NewsAsia via Tunity Technologies

Lim started Tunity Technologies in 2003

Lim has worked her way up through persistent hard work to be where she is today.Her career started with the Ministry of Defence, where she worked as a defence budget analyst, "Then I was roped in to be a productivity activist," she told Bharati Jagdish on her show "On The Record" for Channel NewsAsia.In her next job at ST Electronics, Lim worked as a corporate planning and developing manager. However, at ST Electronics, her work was not enough to hold her back in the office after 5.30pm. This was in 1996."In those days, we didn’t really think about work-life balance. It’s important. But at that point of my career, my thinking was that I must contribute to the organisation," Lim said.

Lim was interviewed by Channel NewsAsia's Bharati Jagdish

In the interview, she spoke about a lot of things related to technology, about the power of technology to increase productivity, and "how to truly achieve productivity by inculcating the 'productivity DNA' in people".

Her thoughts on how technology can improve lives and how we need to consider the effects of technology are absolutely on point. For example, when asked whether technology can breed a culture of laziness among humans and incapacitate us, Lim said:

"Technology is supposed to improve lives, but you’ve got to know what is the objective of technology. You don't use technology for the sake of technology. I think for me, it is not a choice of which stance to take. Frankly, we do not have a choice. It is like time, even if you do nothing, time will pass. So whichever stance I take, technology will come. Whether it will incapacitate us, it will depend on how we use it, how responsible we are to our society and how disciplined we are to our own mental and physical development.

Sadly, though, the same can't be said about her views on employees expecting the 'fair salt for their sweat' from their employers. She thinks that workers are "too obsessed with pay".

This is what Lim, who is the managing director of Tunity Technologies, told Bharati:"Workers today are too obsessed with pay, material things. They forget that they should do more for their employers in order to get those things."Adding further, the successful technopreneur said that the employees today have "forgotten about internalising this DNA within themselves."

"Fifty Shades Of Grey" Is Favourite Book Of These Men in Prison

"Fifty Shades Of Grey" novels are favourite reading material of Guantanamo prisoners

The “Fifty Shades of Grey” series of erotic novels are the favorite reading material among “high-value” prisoners at the Guantanamo detention camp in Cuba, a US congressman said.

        tribune.com.pk

Who are these Guantanamo detainees?

Documents and research related to the 779 people who have been sent to the Guantánamo Bay prison since 2002.
Image via imgur.com

It's believed there's less than 20 so-called "high-value" detainees left in Guantanamo. These include the alleged mastermind of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and Abu Zubaydah, an alleged former trainer at Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.

        businessinsider.com

Why do the Guantanamo detainees like "Fifty Shades Of Grey"?

"Rather than the Quran, the book that is requested most by the [high-value detainees] is 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. They've read the entire series in English, but we were willing to translate it," said Rep. Jim Moran.

        washingtontimes.com

"I guess there's not much going on, these guys are going nowhere, so what the hell."

        businessinsider.com

Other stuff Guantanamo detainees like:

"Star Trek" novelization.
Image via startrek.com

"The Odyssey" is a Greek classic.
Image via garethhinds.com

"The Hunger Games" is available in book and DVD form at Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
Image via blogspot.com

The other prisons and library at the detention camp on Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba provides books, magazines and DVDs to all 166 captives.

        dailymail.co.uk

Other stuff seen are a mix of books in numerous languages, from religious tomes to Star Trek novelizations, Agatha Christie mysterie, stress reduction workbooks and the Greek classic "The Odyssey." There was also "The Hunger Games."

        tribune.com.pk

What is "Fifty Shades Of Grey" about?

"If erotic passages are meant to induce an almost combination of disbelief, cringing and inadvertent hilarity then, by all means, 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is the most erotic novel ever written."

        tribune.com.pk

The "Fifty Shades Of Grey" trilogy.
Image via cnwimg.com

The trilogy features Anastasia Steele, who falls in love with Christian Grey, a troubled young billionaire who likes sex only if he can accompany it with quite formal, stylised corporal punishment."

        theguardian.com

"Fifty Shades Of Grey" to blame for increased handcuff mishaps?

"I don't know whether it's the Fifty Shades effect, but the number of incidents involving items like handcuffs seems to have gone up."

        news.com.au

London firefighters say they have freed hundreds of people with body parts trapped in household objects in the last three years, including 18 children with heads stuck in potties or toilet seats and 79 people trapped in handcuffs.
