  1. [extract] After releasing the Rapid sedan, Skoda is readying the next generation Octavia sedan. The current version has been in the market for eight years and the upcoming MK3 Octavia is said to be larger and positioned more upmarket. The prototype of the new Octavia was spied for the first time during testing at the N
  2. [extract] In its second iteration, the current Lexus IS sedan has been with us since 2005. It may have survived the 2007-2008 global financial crisis, but it may not survive the onslaught of fresher models such as the facelifted Audi A4, the naughty Volvo S60 and the 2012 BMW 3 Series. Hope for the IS family line is here as the 2014 IS saloon has been spied in camouflage while undergoing some testing in Belgium. The overall profile of the car appears to be more streamlined and the sloping hood lends a sporty stance. The new sedan is said to adopt the LF-CC concept
  3. What's the cheapest way of testing battery health? I know for sure multimeter doesn't work. Yesterday was my second time with flat battery. I did 'feel' a slightly slower crank about a month ago and this time round I've decided to test the batt with multimeter religiously. And even when it went dead, it was registering about 12.2v and 11.9v with ignition turned to accessory. Both times I've monitored the indicators on the batteries. Two different brands. And they have obviously failed me. I'm aware of battery load testers but they don't come cheap. I am doubtful of those $20 battery health meters (cigarette plug style found in autobacs) - or do they work? I do carry jumper cables in the boot but I really dislike the idea of having to wait around for some kind soul to help. Are there any other ways to test?

  5. so when you get salary increast dont be too happy PR can get subsidy why we true blue singaporeans are denied this has nothing to do with politics but policy who is in charge Long wait for bed 2 June 2011 Straits Times I WOULD like to recount my unpleasant experience when my father was admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) for inpatient treatment from May 17 to 24. He was admitted at noon on May 17 but was wheeled out of the hospital and made to wait for a bed in a makeshift tentage area. No bed was allocated even after a wait of seven hours. When a bed became available at a B1 ward, we were advised it would push up the bill by $900 for seven days' stay. However, we were told it might be possible to downgrade to a B2 ward and enjoy subsidised outpatient specialist fee if we were to explain our situation at the admissions office and to the relevant specialist. The interim bill on May 21 came to $3,700. So we requested a downgrade to a B2 ward at the admissions office but were advised that only the medical social worker at the care and counselling department could approve this. By the time we met the social worker on May 23, the interim bill had increased to $7,800. We were informed that our household income for our family of five exceeded the limit of $10,000 per month and so we did not qualify for the downgrade. When I discussed discharging my father with the doctors, they advised against it. We were caught in a situation where we could not downgrade to a B2 ward or safely seek discharge. In the end, on May 24, we secured discharge against the advice of the doctors as we could not afford to pay $1,000 each day. How could the hospital policy be formulated in a way that allows patients to be admitted to a ward of their choice regardless of their household income and yet, when a request for a downgrade is made, the criterion boils down to household income? Chong Gek Syn (Ms) Hospital to improve communications WE REFER to Ms Chong Gek Syn's feedback and would like to apologise for her father's long wait for a bed on May 17. Our bed occupancy rate reached a high over the long Vesak holiday weekend and we were doing our best to expedite all the admissions. As shared with all the patients awaiting admission, priority in bed allocation would be given to patients who are in a critical condition. In such a situation, patients who are stable and awaiting admission, such as Ms Chong's father, would continue to be cared for in an adjacent building near the emergency department, where they would be checked on regularly by our team of doctors and nurses. Ms Chong and her father had opted for a B2 ward originally, but decided to opt for a B1 ward, where beds were more readily available. As with all such requests, we informed them of the estimated bill size and the payment implications. We shared too that any request to later move to a subsidised ward would be subject to an assessment of their household income. This is to ensure that needy patients who require the heavily subsidised B2 or C ward beds more urgently are given priority. Ms Chong put in a request to move to a subsidised ward after her father was admitted in B1. They went through the means test and were unfortunately not eligible. The final out-of-pocket component of the hospital bill, after deducting from Medisave and insurance, was about $2,800. We empathise with the family and are in contact with them to see how we can further help them. We will also strive to improve our communications with patients to ensure we can help them make better informed decisions. Dr Eugene Fidelis Soh Chief Operating Officer Tan Tock Seng Hospital

  8. VALENCIA: Back behind the wheel of a Formula One car after a hiatus of four years, Narain Karthikeyan impressed at 2011's opening pre-season test and the ace Indian driver said he was "extremely satisfied" with his three-day outing at the Circuito Ricardo Tormo. Karthikeyan, who was signed by Spanish outfit Hispania Racing Team (HRT) for the 2011 season, completed 63 laps and finished 11th fastest on the final day of the testing with a timing of 1:16.535. The Indian set the sixth fastest time on the second day with a timing of 1:14.472 while he was the 12th fastest on the first day of the test programme. "It's an awesome feeling to be back in Formula 1 car again, pushing it to its limits. All of the team members at HRT and I have been working very hard over the past few days. Fortunately, the weather has been very good, and I was able to do quite a lot of laps on each of the three days of the test session," Karthikeyan said after the conclusion of the testing session. "This test has not been about getting lap-times. It was more important for me to learn about the team, the car, and getting used to the specific demands of Formula 1 again. I also focused on learning about the new specification tyres, and have tried out several different compounds. "I was expecting it to be much harder to adapt to the modern generation F1 car, but I found the transition to be much more seamless than I had anticipated. It has been an extremely satisfying test, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the next test," he said. Hispania team principal Colin Kolles was also impressed with Karthikeyan's progress during the testing programme. "Narain (Karthikeyan) has done a very good job in this test session. The lap-times are not so important. We are paying more attention to the data we are collecting. He has completed almost 200 laps over the course of the three days," he said. "I am very happy with his progress, determination and speed. I am sure he will continue to improve each and every time he drives the car," Kolles added.

  11. 7 times World Champion and a Ferrari Formula 1 driver once again, Michael Schumacher is working hard in order to prepare himself for his re-debut at the European Grand Prix, happening next month on the 23rd. Apart from performing various exercises to increase his stamina and to train his neck muscles, the 40 year old is performing tests on a Ferrari Formula 1 simulator, which is a must-have tool for modern Grand Prix drivers. Such simulators offer real-life racing scenarios. Just like some high quality racing games, a simulator features circuits developed using laser technology and satellite images, and cars with real life driving characteristics. In fact, drivers can virtually drive in various scenarios, such as rain (light, hard, monsoon) and suffer from mechanical failures. You can also perform things like practicing on starts and pitstops. Basically it is very real, but of course, there are certain things that you can only get when you drive a real Formula 1 car on a real track. A Ferrari F2007 Formula 1 car. The German will now test the F2007 Formula 1 car, which is the car used back in 2007. This is because there is a testing ban that disallows mid-season testing. However, Michael Schumacher has requested permission to test with this year

  15. From email forwarded to me : Means Testing - S'pore Char Kway Teow Style Sharing with you this Mean Testing Hokkien story which sounded very familiar........... Background of Story: Chia Hong Chu ('eat wind house' = bungalow); Goh Pang Sek (5-room design = HDB 5-room); and Sah Pang Sek (HDB 3-room). Maybe this is how the Govt(Gahmen) should explain their policy ...... S'pore Char Kway Teow Means Testing style Three friends went to their usual favourite char kway teow stall in the HDB food centre. They were Chia Hong Chu, Goh Pang Sek and Sah Pang Sek. The char kway teow stall was crowded, and there was a long queue. 'Ah Pui! Three plates, hah!' cried Chia Hong Chu. Sure, boss! Coming!' Within the next 2 minutes, the first plate of char kway teow came and was plonked in front of Chia Hong Chu. Where two more?' 'Wait lah! Coming! See long queue!' Chia Hong Chu tucked in his char kway teow. Half an hour passed, and the second plate came, plonked in front of Goh Pang Sek. 'Where my?' cried Sah Pang Sek. 'Coming lah!' said Ah Pui. Goh Pang Sek tucked in his plate, and another half an hour passed before the 3rd plate came, plonked right in front of Sah Pang Sek. 'Wah! Got to wait so long ah!' said Sah Pang Sek. 'Don't make noise, Mr Sah. You get same good char kway teow, best in Singapore !' When they have finished eating and chatting, Chia Hong Chu called out: 'Ah Pui! Collect money, ah!' Ah Pui came over. 'Sah Pang Sek, $3. Goh Pang Sek, $5. Chia Hong Chu, $10.' 'Wah! Robbery! I always pay $3. Why $10 now?' 'Ai yah, Chia Hong Chu. You don't read newspapers mere? You don't watch TV mare? This is gahmen food centre, heavily subsidised rent. Last time hah, everyone eat my char kway teow subsidized because cheap rent. Now upgrade liao. See new clean tables, new chairs, ceiling fans? Cost money, you know. And we have means test now. Ah Chia, you live in chia hong chu (holiday bungalow), and you pay full, no subsidy. $10. You don't like, don't eat here. You eat in hotel in Orchard Road .' 'But I get the same food!' 'No. You get 5 more harms , and you get served first, no need to wait. 5 harm service 1' 'What about me? Why $5 when I pay $3 last time?' cried Mr Goh. 'And I wait half hour!' 'Ah Goh. You also kinna means test. You live in goh pang sek (5 room flat), you wait only 30 minutes, I subsidise 50%. And you get 3 more harms -- 3 harm service.' 'Why I wait 1 hour and no extra harm? So damned hungry I can die waiting ah! And why no extra harm? Not nice with no extra harm.' 'Won't die lah. We give you same good food. No extra harm. No frills. But you wait. Wait and wait. You get your char kway teow, I make sure you don't die. You pay only $3. Heavily subsidised -- 70%. Because, Ah Sah, you live in sah pang sek (3 room flat)! You see, we have limited resources. Can only fry so many plates one night. Only so much manpower. So must ration, lah. Everything goes up -- petrol, cooking oil, gas, harm, kway teow, light, labour.... And we give better service -- 5 harm service, like Orchard Road 5 star service.' (For those who do not understand hokkien, - just enjoy)
  16. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080207/od_nm/israel_pilots_dc Thu Feb 7, 2:04 PM ET JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A drug used to treat impotence could help Israeli fighter pilots operate at high altitude, the Israeli military's official magazine reported in its latest issue. It said a retired general plans to present to the air force the results of a study he conducted on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania where he found that tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis tablets, improved breathing in a thin atmosphere. "The study's findings justify the continuation of tests with drugs of this type in low oxygen environments," an unnamed air force officer told Bamahaneh, the military's weekly magazine. An army spokeswoman said that there were no plans to use any such drug and a statement said the phenomenon of chronic oxygen starvation experienced by mountaineers and the immediate oxygen starvation which pilots suffer at high altitude are different. "(Because of the different circumstances) there is no significance for medical treatment of any drug for pilots in the Israel Air Force ... and it has no intention of using any form of drug," the statement read. ------
  17. Means testing likely to be implemented later part of this year: Health Minister By Wong Siew Ying, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 19 January 2008 2036 hrs Photos 1 of 1 Mr Khaw Boon Wan SINGAPORE : Means testing will likely be implemented in the later part of this year, said Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan on Saturday. He also added that his Ministry does not rule out tweaking MediShield coverage. Mr Khaw was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a community event at the Biopolis. Led by the Health Minister, some 600 residents of the Sembawang GRC learned more about life sciences. But there is another area Mr Khaw hopes the public can better understand - means testing. So over the next 8 weeks, there will be more dialogue sessions with Singaporeans on the subject. Mr Khaw was also asked if his Ministry will consider reviewing the MediShield coverage to those beyond 85 years old and making it compulsory. Mr Khaw said: "We will continue to raise it especially when Singaporeans live longer. But at the moment, the number of people more than 85, who are affected by MediShield is still small, but nevertheless it's an issue. We want as many if not 100 percent of Singaporeans to be insured, but in practice I think so far so good through the opting out system." The MediShield medical insurance scheme currently covers more than 90 per cent of workers. - CNA/ch

  21. Chicken chokes after testing the water Mon Sep 10, 2007 10:34 AM ET BEIJING (Reuters) - Think a bottle of mineral water might have poisoned you? Then test it on a chicken. One Chinese family on the southern island province of Hainan had just that idea when one of their number started vomiting blood after drinking a bottle of water, a newspaper said. They fed the luckless chicken the rest of the water to see what would happen, the Beijing News said, citing a report in a local paper. "The result was the chicken died within a minute," it said, showing a picture of a man holding a plastic bottle squatting over the crumpled body of the bird. The province's authorities were investigating, it added. Barely a day goes by without some new scandal over a made-in-China product, be it toys, toothpaste or fish, which has raised safety concerns in major export markets around the world.

  23. I HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING INFO ON CAR MAINTENANCE HOPE THIS HELPS OTHER CAR ENTHUSIAST HERE ALSO Battery Testing, Maintenance And Myths 1. Storing a battery on a concrete floor will discharge them. A hundred years ago battery cases were made of porous materials such as tar-lined wood boxes, so storing batteries on a concrete floor would accelerate their discharge. Modern battery cases are made of polypropylene or hard rubber. These cases seal better, so external leakage-causing discharge is no longer a problem, provided the top of the battery is clean. 2. Driving a car will fully recharge a battery. There are a number of factors affecting an alternator's ability to charge a battery, such as how much current from the alternator is diverted to the battery to charge it, how long the current is available, and the temperature. Generally, idling the engine or short stop-and-go trips during bad weather or at night might not fully recharge the battery. 3. A battery will not explode. There two types of battery explosions are external and internal. Recharging a wet lead-acid battery produces hydrogen and oxygen gasses. While spark retarding vent caps help prevent external battery explosions, sparks occur when jumping, connecting or disconnecting charger, or battery cables and ignite the gas. Internal explosions usually occur while starting the engine and normally blow the filler caps or cover off and splatter electrolyte all over the engine compartment. The most probable cause is from a combination of low electrolyte levels in the battery and a low resistance bridge formed between or across the top of the plates called "treeing" between a positive and negative plate. When heavy current flows in the battery such as starting an engine, a spark occurs and ignites the residual gas in one or more of the cells. A second possible cause is a defect in the weld of one of the plate connecting straps. Periodic preventive, working on batteries in well-ventilated areas, or using sealed AGM or gel cell VRLA type batteries can significantly reduce the possibility of battery explosions. To neutralize the residual battery acid, be sure to thoroughly wash the engine compartment and the back of the hood with a solution of one-pound baking soda to one gallon of warm water and rinse with water. The largest number of battery explosions, while starting an engine or drawing a high current, occurs in hot climates. While not fatal, battery explosions cause thousands of eye and burn injuries each year. Should a battery explosion occur and electrolyte (battery acid) get in someones' eyes, immediately flush them out with ANY drinkable liquid because seconds count. 4. A battery will not lose its charge sitting in storage. Depending on the type of battery and temperature, batteries have a natural self-discharge or internal electro chemical "leakage" at a 1% to 25% rate per month. Over time the battery will become sulfated and fully discharged. Higher temperatures accelerate this process. A battery stored at 95
