Kilang mesin taip terakhir di dunia ditutup

Syarikat Godrej and Boyce yang menjadi pengeluar mesin taip terakhir di dunia terpaksa menghentikan operasinya dan hanya meninggalkan beberapa ratus buah mesin taip dalam stoknya sebelum dijual kepada orang ramai, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.
Penutupan kilang itu dipercayai akibat permintaan terhadap mesin taip semakin berkurangan sejak 10 tahun lalu selepas orang ramai beralih kepada komputer.
Pengurus Besar Godrej and Boyce, Milind Dukle berkata kepada akhbar tempatan India, Business Standard: "Kami tidak menerima banyak permintaan sekarang. Sejak awal tahun 2000, penggunaan komputer terus mendominasi pengguna di seluruh negara. Semua syarikat yang mengeluarkan mesin taip menghentikan operasi masing-masing kecuali kami.
"Sehingga tahun 2009, kami hanya menghasilkan 10,000 hingga 12,000 mesin taip setahun. Mungkin sekarang adalah waktu terbaik buat pengguna mesin taip untuk mendapatkan produk terakhir kami."
Syarikat itu memulakan perniagaan sejak tahun 1950-an selepas bekas Perdana Menteri, Jawaharlal Nehru menganggap mesin taip sebagai simbol pengembangan kemerdekaan dan industri di India.
Terdapat sebanyak 200 buah mesin taip ada dalam stok syarikat tersebut. Majoritinya terdiri daripada model dengan aksara bahasa Arab.
Pada awal 1990-an, Godrej and Boyce menjual 50,000 unit mesin taip setiap tahun. Tetapi pada tahun lalu, ia hanya dapat menjual 800 unit sahaja. - Kosmo

Biawak Komodo sebagai maskot Sukan Sea di Indonesia



Biawak Komodo dipilih sebagai maskot Sukan Sea ke-26 di Indonesia dari 11 hingga 25 November ini. 

Pasangan dinamakan "Modo" (jantan) dan "Modi" (betina) dipilih sejajar dengan usaha kerajaan Indonesia melindungi spesies haiwan itu yang semakin berkurangan, demikian menurut jurucakap jawatankuasa penganjur sukan itu yang dipetik oleh akhbar Jakarta Post hari ini.

Di Jakarta malam tadi, Modo dan Modi diperkenalkan kepada umum dalam satu majlis bagi memulakan detik pengiraan 200 hari menjelang perasmian sukan serantau itu yang akan diadakan di Palembang. Beberapa acara akan juga diadakan di Jakarta.


Komodo adalah spesies biawak terbesar di dunia. Ia hanya terdapat di kepulauan Komodo di Flores.

p/s: rasa-rasa sesuai ke? Maybe...hurm... biar lah kt dorang..

Robert Kubica Q&A: Fans’ response has been overwhelming

The Renault team - and Formula One in general - was dealt a heavy blow in February when star driver Robert Kubica was ruled out of the start of the 2011 season following a serious crash during the Ronde di Andora Rally in Italy. Several surgeries and over two months later, Kubica is finally looking forward to leaving hospital and briefly heading home, before commencing the rehabilitation programme which everyone hopes will precede his F1 return. Speaking to his team’s official website, the Pole had the following to say to his fans…




Robert Kubica: Hello everybody, here I am. Sorry for the delay in contacting you but I preferred to wait until the moment I could finally share some positive news with you. First of all I would like to pay a huge amount of thanks to my fans whose support has been simply incredible since my accident in Italy back in February. I have been literally submerged by letters and various gifts and objects and it seems the flow is not slowing down. I also want to thank all the people in the world of F1 who showed in various manners their concern for the difficult situation I’m in.

Q: Robert, just over 10 weeks on from your accident - how are you feeling? 
RK:
 I am starting to feel a lot better now. My recovery is moving in the right direction: my strength and weight are increasing day on day and as a result I will leave the Santa Corona hospital very soon.

Q: When exactly will you leave the hospital? 
RK:
 I don’t have a precise date as yet but I hope to be able to leave within the next 10 days.

Q: Concerning the injury to your hand, how is the mobility now? 
RK:
 The mobility of my hand is limited but this is pretty normal in this kind of situation, because the connected arm muscles are still very weak due to the long period of immobility. Things are definitely improving day by day.

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your rehabilitation programme? 
RK
:
 As soon as I leave hospital, I’ll head to my home in Monaco for a short period of rest. Then I’ll move to Dr Ceccarelli‘s facilities in Italy where I will start a deep rehabilitation program and a preliminary soft training programme. The two programmes will gradually cross over based on the speed of my recovery.

Q: There’s been an amazing reaction from the fans - how has the response helped your recovery? 
RK
:
 I must admit that it’s been overwhelming and, yes, it’s helped me a lot. I really didn’t realise that quite this many fans were supporting me. I’m very flattered and I promise them that, when I’m back, I’ll give them my absolute best.

Q: Have you been staying in regular touch with the team since you’ve been away? 
RK
:
 Yes, of course. Especially since the season started, I’ve been liaising with my engineers on what’s been going on over race weekends. They are sending me the race reports so I can remain up to date and fully informed, as if I were there at the tracks. (Team principal) Eric Boullier is also in constant contact, keeping up to date with my general condition.

Q: Have you watched all the races so far this year, and what are you making of the new season and Lotus Renault GP’s performances so far? 
RK:
 Yes I’ve watched them, and there is no doubt that it’s been a strong start to the season. The potential of the car, which I already noticed in the February Valencia test, seems to be confirmed. As usual, it’s now important that the development done in Enstone continues to produce consistent updates for maintaining this level of performance. The guys did a great job with this car and I’m sure they’ll continue to improve.

Q: Finally, what messages would you like to pass on to your supporters in the Formula One world? 
RK
:
 Well, just continue to enjoy the F1 show even though I’m not there at the moment. From my side, I’ll try to use my difficult experience to come back as strong as I possibly can.
