The Chairman of Chinese Communist Party (CCP),  Mr. Xi Jin Ping called on his people not to waste food. He made this call in August after there was a heavy flood in China. The flood covered large area of agricultural land in China. The flood destroyed not only the properties but also lot of crops and food.   

The Communities in China responded with much enthusiasm.     People from School children to dinners, came out to support the campaign. The restaurants and the various communities and organization are receptive to such call.   But, the western medias were not as enthusiastic.  CGTN, the Chinese media was of the view that these western medias did not report the campaign in a fair manner. It claimed that China has not made any new laws.   Instead,   China was only trying to raise public awareness about not to waste food.

Some restaurants had taken the opportunity to make some money.  One restaurant in Hunan Changsha installed weighing scales in its restaurant. It has sign board advising what meal the customers should order for their weight.

The Organizations and  the Associations are not ready to drop behind.  For example,  this Food Catering Industry Association in JiangSu  arranged a seminar recently. It took the opportunity to get customers to eat in Nanjing.

 

 

Interesting Notes About the US Election 2020

15 December 2020

United States has a Presidential election on 3 November 2020.  It was  an election between Mr. Joe Biden and Mr. Donald Trump.   Some estimated that more than 150 million Americans had voted. The turn out was one the most in recent American history. Many said the large turn out  was because of  Donald Trump.

The initial vote counts indicated Joe Biden was the winner.   He had 290 electoral vote and Trump had only 232.  Also,  Joe Biden had 80 millions vote count and Trump, around 70 millions.

There were many lawsuits about frauds in the election.  Some suits was lodged as early as 6 November.  The Pro-Trump group and Trump Campaign Teams submitted no less than  50 lawsuits.   The Courts rejected almost all of them.    

Trump’s lawyer team, led by  Mr. Rudy Giuliani also  filed lawsuits.   They were also not quite successful.    Ms Sidney Powell, a private lawyer, helped to lodge a suit around end of November in the court of Georgie County.  Her  request for decertification of election result was denied by the Court.   But,  the Court accepted her other requests,   such as  carrying out a  forensic study on the voting machines.  Also granted by  the Court was the scrutinizing of CCTV video footage on the night of the ballot counting.   Sidney also filed lawsuits later in the Courts of Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin.  She had almost the same results. 

The alleged frauds were mostly about the misuse of the electronic voting machines.  The suits were also about the fraudulous votes in the mail-in ballots. While  little or no evidence were found in the mail-in ballots, there were good progress made in the findings of the forensic studies.  

The result of the  forensic study carried out at Antrim County of Michigan found its way to the 13th Circuit Court on 14 December 2021. This Circuit Court had scheduled a Trial to be  held sometime next April 2021. Understand the Arizona Senate Judiciary Chairman had announced the authorization of a full forensic audit on Arizona’s voting machines and software.

All of a suddenly, the World Wide Web was full of many stories about the frauds found in voting machines.  One of them is shown here.

 

Understand the Electoral College has affirmed Biden’s win.  The next in the process is to send the result of the Electoral College's Vote  to the House for further processing.   The House and Senate will  debate and vote again if there is one House Representative submit his objection in writing.  As there is trial pending in the 13^th Circuit Court,   the members of the House & Senate might want to consider to wait for the Court's result if so permitted under the US Constitution.

To Reduce the Fan Noise in the PC Power Supply Unit

23 July 2020

Some power supply unit for the PCs have very noisy fans. The good one will come with a thermo controlled fan; the cheaper ones usually have this omitted especially when they are made for Bit-Coin mining machines. The solution is either to change the fan or have a fan speed controllers installed. This video describe how best to carry these works.

 Update:

The circuit in the video used IRF 634 which has a rated voltage of about 500V.  A cheaper euivalent is IRF 744 rated at 250 V.   The components are listed as shown

The veroboard layout of the component and its connection is as shown below

 

Do not Touch Any Power or Lamp Pole when Wondering in Flood Waters

20 July 2020

Floods are everywhere during this raining season.   They are in Japan,  India, China,  Indonesia,  Malaysia and many other parts of the ASIA.  In Japan, we have Typhoons.  In China and South East Asia,  we have the Monsoons and in India,  we have the heavy rain.   Some floods are not actually caused by heavy rain. Breakdowns in embankment of rivers and dams are often the cause in large area floods.

It is unfortunate to learn people died in floods. Some drowned; others electrocuted by high voltage electricity. Although lesser people died this year as compared to previous years. One thing we can help is by educating people to kick the habit of holding or touching the power or lamp poles in a flood.

This video was prepared using incidents happening in China recently.  It tried to explain why it is dangerous to hold on or touch any power or lamp poles when wondering in flood water.   Traffic poles are also dangerous in a flood.

Where is the Origin of this CoronaVirus Outbreak?

 21 March 2020

Let Science Do the Talking

There is a lot of talking about where this present coronavirus has originated.  Some said from Wuhan,  China;  others claimed that it was from USA.  Some even mentioned about Taiwan.    In between and among the countries,  they blamed each other for spreading the diseases.   The Politicians,  the netizens,  the commoners all have their says,  bringing up all sort of evidences to prove that they are right

When will this end?

This sort of argument will never end.  The argument will still continue  until the day when there is a common understanding among all of us  and what that might be,  you might ask.   The Science.

The Experts are Talking?

So far,  all the argument has one thing in common.  It started with “according to the experts”.   In many of the arguments,  not many mentioned about the names of experts.  even if  experts’ name were quoted,   the argument will not rest. 

What could Stop these Arguments? 

The argument will stop when everyone has the consensus and agreed to concentrate the effort to find the source.  This will never be easy and may not be possible if the this coronavirus is man-made and not from natural sources like bats or pangolin.   In this case,  there might be a possibility to use RNA technology to locate this source. 

What is RNA Technology?

In layman's term,  it is much like the DNA technology.   It is a tool used to study the gene or the genome of a organism or living cells. Unlike DNA that ,  RNA technology

How? 

Every virus will have a set of genome sequence as defined by RNA techology

Who is GISAID?

GISAID is nonprofit organisation with HeadQuarter in Munich of Germany.   It serves to share information about global health, research and education with databases that can be assessed free by people all over the World.  
Its primary purposes is provide a platform where the World can share all influenza virus sequences, related clinical and epidemiological data etc to help global researchers doing researches on  viruses.

GISAID presently has more than 350 genome sequences to be shared on their platform. 

The shutting down of the Bio Research Lab in America could only further reinforce the believe that the country has put in place a proper control and management system to handle these laboratories and to prevent them from causing a pandemic.

The only Bio Research Lab that can guarantee 100% safe is a Bio Lab that never do any research on biological work or has been closed down. Even when there is "leak" or mishap, there must be protocols and procedures to handle these happenings to stop them from causing a outbreak. It is still safe.

Argument about who is responsible for this coronavirus outbreak basing on this kind of argument will go no where. It will alwys ended with everyone scolding each other an "idiot". it is just a waste of time..

Why don't we let Science do the talking. We have DNA and RNA technologies, quite sure they will be able to tell us sooner the source of this outbreak.

If you like you can look at this chart presented by GISAID . It uses Genome sequences and arrange the virus to form trees that can trace the source and the origin. The chart has all the information about the gene and the kind of mutations happening. Enlarge into full screen and explore. GISAID is a non-profit organisation stationed in Munich, Germany. It has more than 350 genome sequence free to share to all people of the World.
