Think out of the box! Police uncle do understand the concept

Wakakaka, this so~~ creative.

one of the new headline in Kwong Hwa here.

慕沙:为有效防止女性遭攫夺 要求禁摩托车入市区 [link]

It mean something like this, i think ...
Musha: to prevent and protect girls from snap case, request to band motorcar to come into town area.

So, who is Mr. Musha? according the news is the National Police Chief in Malaysia.

Wakaka.. So, those normal civilian motocyclist, there is few solutions, i think..

1. Get your-self a new car. This can spontaneuosly boost the car industry, Not Bad! Viva will be your best choice i guest.

2. Use public transport. Putra LRT, Star LRT, Rapid KL, Metrobus, SJ bus, KTM, monorail, etc.





3. Get youself a bicycle. Its time to get your-self healthy also.

4. Quit your job. Yio Ka at home. Best~~

Wakakak, what marccus says?
Clear your mind~ Be creative~~

I think Mr. Musha was drunk that time. XD

I see I see.. New EVO Police Car.

Hey hey, any one want to play some pursue with our PDRM?
wakaka, don't play play now. They got new car ler. 25 units some more. And look like this.


Their intent is to catch criminals and speed hogs (is it mat rempit?) according to the news. (ref link)

But.. So many super car they don't want, why they want Mitsubishi EVO?
Probably our criminals know many lorong (small street), and our Mata (Policeman) will drift all the lorong to catch the orang jahat (Bad guy).

So next time when we eat dinner at home and suddenly hear some "pi po pi po.." (police car siren) + "Yiiiikkk.. pssshhhh..." (drift sound) at the back street of our home, don't worry, is our police guys putting hard work to catch criminals.

The new car certainly look gorgeous than the old one right?


Old Car





New Car



Hope they know how to take care their new cars. Wakakaka.
and If really want to play with them, also make sure your horse power is modified or originally enough ya.
Jingle bell~ Jingle bell~~

** P/S: that mitshi police car is I edit one ya, keke. real one hav't come out =)

High Speed Gene Sequencing, using True Single Molecules Sequencing (tSMS)

Hey guys, Check this out! 

New way for gene sequencing and it was design for speed. They're using SOLiD 3 system, and will have more improvements. 

The method is called tSMS, True Single Molecules Sequencing

1. tSMS using single strand 100-200 nt strand, and generate the TAAA tails with a fluorescence A end. These strand served as template. 
2. Then these templates will be hybridize to a flow cell, that treated with billions of helico-T capture site.
3. After hybridization, using laser to illuminate the successful hybridize strand. They then using CCD camera to capture the illumination. 
4. Then, the fluorescence A will be washed away. 
5. Now being the repentance process of adding fluorescence nucleotides A,C,G,T (one at a time) and continue the process of binding, illuminate, visual capturing, and adding next nucleotides again and again, until the end.

Wang ge

He, is the one make a macbook unusually unique.
He, created the Stanford Laptop Orchestra, a.k.a. SLOrk

SLOrk


For increase in performance, they even build their own multichannel, half-sphere speaker.


I just feel they're awesome.

Why?
Not because they use Mac, or they are rich (hey, who say Mac is only for rich people?)
It because Wang Ge and his SLOrk is inspiring, and creative!
Indeed they are just normal human, but They make themselves Unique!
