  1. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37116349 A photograph of a dazed and bloodied Syrian boy rescued from a destroyed building in Aleppo after an air strike has caused outrage around the world. Images of the boy sitting in an ambulance were released by activists and have since been shared widely on social media.

  2. 15,000 to 20,000 fins! Mind boggling... [shocked] From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/fea...1245748/1/.html Outrage over Hong Kong's 'shark fin rooftop' Posted: 03 January 2013 1507 hrs HONG KONG: Hong Kong conservationists expressed outrage Thursday after images of a factory rooftop covered in thousands of freshly sliced shark fins emerged, as they called for curbs on the "barbaric" trade. The southern Chinese city is one of the world's biggest markets for shark fins, which are used to make soup that is an expensive staple at Chinese banquets and viewed by many Asians as a rare delicacy. Activist Gary Stokes who has visited the site estimated there are 15,000 to 20,000 fins being laid to dry on the rooftop on Hong Kong island ahead of an anticipated surge in demand over Lunar New Year in February this year. "This is shocking," the Hong Kong coordinator for conservation group Sea Shepherd told AFP, saying it was the first time that he has spotted such a massive hoarding of shark fins in one place in the Asian financial hub. "This is the most graphic, brutal and barbaric part of the industry -- the element of chopping a shark's fin off and throw it back into the water is horrific and inhumane," he added. Stokes believed the large amount of shark fins were destined for China, and that traders moved to dry the shark fins on secluded rooftops instead of sidewalks -- as they have done in the past -- to avoid public anger. Campaigns against consuming shark fins have gained ground in Hong Kong in recent years, after major hotel chains decided to drop the soup from the menus, and home carrier Cathay Pacific said in September it would stop carrying unsustainable sourced shark products on its cargo flights. "The demand in Hong Kong is definitely decreasing but unfortunately, the demand in China is growng," Stokes said. "As long as there is no protection for the sharks, the (demand) will just keep going on and on," he added, urging Hong Kong authorities to ban the trade. Environmentalists say the sustainable shark fin industry is tiny and most of the products are harvested in a way that threatens scores of shark species deemed vital for healthy oceans. About 73 million sharks are killed every year, with Hong Kong importing about 10,000 tonnes annually for the past decade, according to environmental group WWF. Most of those fins are then exported to mainland China. The number of threatened shark species has soared from 15 in 1996 to more than 180 in 2010, mainly due to the growing Chinese demand for fins. -AFP/fl
  3. Elderly man settles outrage of modesty case for $1,200 Posted: 20 March 2012 1203 hrs
  4. A young food blogger who demanded that he and his three companions be given free meals at an upscale restaurant in the Joo Chiat area has sparked a huge furore online. The group of four had walked into Private Affairs, a small but exclusive eatery in Joo Chiat, for its Sunday champagne brunch promotion that costs S$68++ per person. The blogger in question, Brad Lau, who runs a food blog called Ladyironchef, had informed the management on Friday that he would be coming down to review the Sunday Brunch promotion. On the day itself, he and his partner came down at about 130pm, followed by his two other companions, each of whom came down half an hour apart. The four of them had brunch until 430pm, even when the restaurant
  5. Is road rage rearing its ugly head once again? Last month, an avid cyclist was attacked by a man and woman after an incident involving their van. In April, a couple heading home late at night had a nightmare ride in a taxi after the cabby honked at another car. The driver, in his rage, nearly caused a collision. In the 1990s, then-Chief Justice Yong Pung How highlighted road rage as an act not to be tolerated, and imposed stiff punishment on road bullies. He declared in 1992 that jail sentences should be dealt to all road-rage offenders and few people convicted of the crime have escaped jail. In later cases, there have also been corrective work for offenders. In 2006, a motorcyclist was sentenced to five years of corrective training and three strokes of the cane for a fit of road rage in which he attacked an elderly lorry driver, who died of a heart attack shortly afterwards. Here are some other more recent cases. A major in the Singapore army is appealing a road rage conviction after he was accused of headbutting a car passenger. On 4 Mar this year, a motorist was jailed for a week for fighting with a delivery rider over a road traffic incident. In April last year, a cabby was fined $1,000 when he was convicted of road rage, hitting a school bus driver with a metal rod. He is appealing his conviction. Drive with Care [drivingcar]
