Wikinews Shorts: August 18, 2010

A compilation of brief news reports for Wednesday, August 18, 2010.

An unemployed, single mother from South Carolina has confessed to suffocating her two toddler children with her bare hands. After suffocating her one year-old and two year-old sons, 29 year-old Shaquan Duley drove her car into a river. Police have identified the suffocated children as Ja’van T. Duley and Devean C. Duley. She faces two murder charges and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

Duley had apparently argued with her mother the night before the murder. Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams has stated that “We believe this is a direct response [to the argument] from Ms. Duley. I believe she was just fed up with her mother telling her she couldn’t take care of the children and she wasn’t taking care of her children and she just wanted to be free.” Williams also said that Shaquan’s mother “was a very, I guess, firm individual. … She often talked with her daughter about, I guess, maybe being more of a mother or being more reliable.”

US officials said Monday that an American, Aijalon Mahli Gomes, sentenced to hard labor in North Korea was visited by a US consular official and two American doctors.

“We requested permission to visit Mr. Gomes. That permission from the North Korean government was granted,” said U.S. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley. Crowley also said that “We requested permission to bring Mr. Gomes home. Unfortunately, he remains in North Korea.”

North Korea said that Gomes was hospitalized after attempting suicide. Gomes was arrested by North Korean authorities and sentenced to eight years of hard labor in January after the 31 year-old man alledgedly attempted to cross the border with China.

American car company General Motors (GM) said Tuesday that it will recall 243,000 crossover vehicles due to faulty seat belts. The crossovers recalled include the Saturn Outlook, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse. The damage to the seat belts could happen after the second row seats in the car-based SUVs are returned to a upright position after being folded. The damage causes the seat belt to feel correctly latched when it is possibly not.

Smart Key Keeping Up With Key Technology

Submitted by: James Jakob

Key technology has made key remotes a part of key security system. It almost eliminates the chances of a car theft. However, the problem arises, when you lose the key. A car would then refuse to start till the device is reprogrammed. What to do then?

Car technology has witnessed amazing innovations in the last few years. Modern engineering has enabled car designers to incorporate unique features into today’s automobiles. These measures have increased cars’ security, comfort and convenience levels several notches. Many of these have got integrated in today’s cars so seamlessly that they feel like a necessity rather than a luxury.

Automotive keys today also boast a new look, thanks to these technological innovations. Gone are the times when one had to painstakingly move to a car with all hands preoccupied, work hard to reach the pocket, produce the key and try to get it into the keyhole while somehow managing the load on your shoulders. A smart key would provide you with plenty of convenience for tasks as mundane as loading and unloading groceries from your car. Once you are done with the task, you just have to click a button on your key and get all the doors locked or unlocked.

Automotive keys today are integrated with security features, almost eliminating the chances of any theft. With a smart key, you can prevent your car from being stolen, even if the thieves manage to break in. A smart key has an embedded chip in the plastic head of the key, which is recognized by the software in the car ignition system. This means that even if a person enters the car and tries to start its engine, it would not as it would not recognize the key. You could get this system in your key whether you own a Nissan, Mercedes or a Lexus.

The problem arises when you lose a smart key. In such a situation, just getting the key replaced would not do. You would have to get the device reprogrammed. You would need to contact the car manufacturer or a competent transponder key service provider. For instance, if you own a Nissan car and lose the key, you would need to contact Nissan or one of the vendors who reprograms the device. Once this is done, your replacement key would work with your car as if it were original.

A car manufacturer would be expectedly busy and it would take time before they respond and act on your request. Contacting a competent vendor would be better in this situation. Most vendors would be a available on phone. Alternatively, you can also contact them on E-mail. They would contact you at the earliest and provide you with help. Their executive would visit you and do the reprogramming. A quick Internet search would reveal a number of vendors in your locality.

Some experts also advise the car owners to do the programming task themselves. It can be done with a spare key which you might have received with the original one that you have just lost. You can reprogram the spare key with the instructions given in the manual of the vehicle. If you can do it successfully, it would be a cost free way to get the device back to work. However, in practical, it is not that easy or all of us would have been doing it ourselves. After all, who does not want to save a few bucks. You need plenty of time and patience to search for the spare key or the manual, then read it up and implement the instructions.

It is better to leave the job to a professional. Though it would come with a cost, you can be sure that the job is done correctly. So if you happen to lose your Nissan remote, it is advisable to contact a vendor in your region and request them for reprogramming your device.

Rachel Weisz wants Botox ban for actors

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

English actress Rachel Weisz thinks that Botox injections should be banned for all actors.

The 39-year-old actress, best known for her roles in the Mummy movie franchise and for her Academy Award-winning portrayal in The Constant Gardener, feels facial Botox injections leave actors less able to convey emotion and that it harms the acting industry as much as steroids harm athletes.

In an interview with UK’s Harper’s Bazaar, coming out next month, Weisz says, “It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen,” she claims. “Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?”

Currently living in New York, she also mentions that English women are much less worried about their physical appearance than in the United States. “I love the way girls in London dress,” she claimed. “It’s so different to the American ‘blow-dry and immaculate grooming’ thing.”

Wikinews interviews 2020 Melbourne Lord Mayor Candidate Wayne Tseng

This article mentions the Wikimedia Foundation, one of its projects, or people related to it. Wikinews is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Thursday, October 22, 2020

2020 Melbourne Lord Mayor candidate Wayne Tseng answered some questions about his campaign for the upcoming election from Wikinews. The Lord Mayor election in the Australian city is scheduled to take place this week.

Tseng runs a firm called eTranslate, which helps software developers to make the software available to the users. In the candidate’s questionnaire, Tseng said eTranslate had led to him working with all three tiers of the government. He previously belonged to the Australian Liberal Party, but has left since then, to run for mayorship as an independent candidate.

Tseng is of Chinese descent, having moved to Australia with his parents from Vietnam. Graduated in Brisbane, Tseng received his PhD in Melbourne and has been living in the city, he told Wikinews. Tseng also formed Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce, an organisation responsible for many “community bond building initiatives”, the Lord Mayor candidate told Wikinews.

Tseng discussed his plans for leading Melbourne, recovering from COVID-19, and “Democracy 2.0” to ensure concerns of minorities in the city were also heard. Tseng also focused on the importance of the multi-culture aspect and talked about making Melbourne the capital of the aboriginals. Tseng also explained why he thinks Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030.

Tseng’s deputy Lord Mayor candidate Gricol Yang is a Commercial Banker and works for ANZ Banking Group.

Currently, Sally Capp is the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the Victorian capital. Capp was elected as an interim Lord Mayor in mid-2018 after the former Lord Mayor Robert Doyle resigned from his position after sexual assault allegations. Doyle served as the Lord Mayor of Melbourne for almost a decade since 2008.
