TV Car causes horrific crash at the 2011 Tour de France



Tour de France is the most prestigious bicycle race tournament in the world.

To ensure the smooth and successful running of Tour de France, the organizers planned everything meticulously and carefully to ensure an incident free tournament.

However, accidents do happened no matter how careful we organized things.



In the ongoing 2011 Tour de France, riders Johnny Hoogerland and Juan Antonio Flecha, part of a five-man breakaway battling for victory, were hit by Euro Media vehicle during the 208km stage from Issoire to Saint-Flour in the Massif Central on Sunday, 10th July 2011.

The accident happened when the TV car tried to overtake the riders along a narrow road.

The impact caused one rider to be thrown off the road, onto the fields.

Despite nasty-looking injuries, Flecha and Hoogerland got back up to finish the stage, although they trailed home over 16 minutes off the pace.

As a result of the accident, furious Tour de France organisers have thrown a French television car off the race.

Who was at fault?? Clearly the driver of the TV car. Maybe he was drunk?? Or poor judgement??

From my observations, they were just too many non-bikers and non-racers vehicles on the narrow road, and therefore obstructing the riders.

The organizers must limit the number of vehicles or use only motorcycles alongside the bikers.

Don't use cars as they are too big and causes danger to the bikers.

Peserta Sabah terus mendominasi populariti Akademi Fantasia



Tidak dinafikan sejak program realiti TV Akademi Fantasia terbitan Astro yang mengguna pakai konsep rancangan realiti La Academia dari Mexico, mendapat sambutan hangat peminat hiburan tanah air.

Sejak 2003, program Akademi Fantasia bersiaran buat pertama kalinya sehinggalah ke Akademi Fantasia musim ke 9 yang bakal disiarkan tidak lama lagi pada tahun 2011.

Kita pasti ingat siapa juara Akademi Fantasia musim pertama iaitu Vince sehinggalah ke juara terbaru Akademi Fantasia musim ke 8 iaitu Shahir.

Namun setiap kali program itu ke udara, pasti peserta dari Sabah, turut mencuri tumpuan kerana keunikan suara, vokal, persembahan, populariti serta sokongan mantap dan padu dari sebelah Malaysia Timur.

Jarak 2,000 kilometer memisahkan Sabah dengan Kuala Lumpur tidak menghalang anak anak muda Sabah daripada menjadi terus terkenal menerusi platform Akademi Fantasia atau AF.

Pada musim pertama AF pada 2003, tiada peserta Sabah yang ditampilkan.

Namun bermula musim kedua pada 2004 hinggalah 2010, ada saja anak Sabah yang ke final.

Secara keseluruhannya dalam 8 musim Akademi Fantasia, peserta dari Sabah menjuarai Akademi Fantasia sebanyak 1 kali menerusi Stacy (Juara AF6/2008) serta naib juara sebanyak 5 kali menerusi Linda Nanuwil (AF2/2004), Felix Agus (AF3/2005), Lotter (AF4/2006), Ebi (AF5/2007) serta Adira (AF8/2010).



Tentu kita masih ingat bagaimana Ranau pernah berkabung pada AF 2 musim 2004 apabila peserta dari daerah itu, Linda Nanuwil, tersingikir menerusi undian SMS.



Tentu kita masih ingat cerita kejayaan Stacy, dari Penampang, Sabah yang namanya melonjak sebagai bintang daripada penyanyi kurang dikenali yang terpaksa mengorbankan zaman persekolahan untuk bekerja sebagai penyanyi dek kerana kesempitan hidup. Kini Stacy sejak muncul juara AF musim 6 pada 2008, antara bintang paling popular di Malaysia, sekaligus merubah nasib serta taraf ekonomi keluarganya menjadi lebih baik.



Tentu kita masih ingat linangan air mata penyanyi dari Tawau, Sabah, Mas pada AF musim ke2 pada 2004 apabila dia menceritakan terpaksa menyanyi mencari rezeki sebagai ibu tunggal untuk menampung kehidupan 2 anaknya.. Tentu kita masih ingat berderai air mata penonton di studio dan di rumah yang menyaksikan detik itu...



Tentu kita masih ingat bagaimana seorang pemuda kurus lampai dari pekan koboi, Kota Belud Sabah, Felix Agus hampir hampir menjuarai AF musim 3 pada 2005, jika tidak Mawi dibawa masuk menerusi AF masuk???



Kita juga pasti ingat bagaimana daerah kecil Tamparuli, Sabah sebenarnya memiliki seorang gadis cantik dan seksi bersuara lunak bernama Marsha Milan Londoh pada AF3 2005??



Begitu juga pemuda kacak dari Inanam, Sabah, Adam yang muncul tempat ke 3 pada AF2 2005, sehingga kini Adam masih menapak di persada seni tanah air, digilai ramai peminat wanita...



AF4 pada 2006 juga menampilkan 2 peserta Sabah yang mempunyai kisah tersendiri. Lotter dari Membakut, dulunya hidup susah tetapi akhirnya nasibnya berubah apabila muncul naib juara AF4.



Kita juga tahu AF4 menampilkan seorang lagi peserta Sabah bersuara lunak merdu dikenali Velvet yang kini sudah bergelar isteri kepada Rich, juga peserta AF 4 yang berasal dari Keningau..



Siapa sangka Rich AF4 seterusnya menjuarai Anugerah Juara Lagu 22 terbitan TV3 dengan kumpulannya Estranged menerusi lagu "Itu Kamu"???



AF5 2007 juga menampilkan 2 peserta Sabah, Ebi dari Kota Kinabalu yang menjadi naib juara serta Candy selaku finalis.



AF8 2010 kita juga tahu ada seorang lagi gadis Dusun dari Kundasang, Sabah yang muncul Naib Juara iaitu Adira.


Siapa bakal peserta dari Sabah dalam AF musim ke 9 2011????

Sama sama kita nantikan.

Reporter's on-air gibberish was due to migraine, not stroke



Sometimes, this things happens when you are Live On Air, On TV.

In Los Angeles, California, USA, a TV reporter who lapsed into gibberish during a live shot outside the Grammys said she was terrified when it happened and knew something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth.

KCBS-TV reporter Serene Branson's incoherence Sunday, 13th February 2011 fueled Internet speculation that she suffered an on-air stroke. But doctors at the University of California, Los Angeles where she went to get a brain scan and blood work done ruled it out.

Doctors said she suffered a type of migraine that can mimic symptoms of a stroke.


Branson explaining what really happened that day.

Branson told the station in an interview Thursday that she "started to get a really bad headache" but assumed she was just tired.

"At around 10 o'clock that night I was sitting in the live truck with my field producer and the photographer and I was starting to look at some of my notes," she said. "I started to think, the words on the page are blurry and I could notice that my thoughts were not forming the way they normally do."

"As soon as I opened my mouth I knew something was wrong," Branson said. "I was having trouble remembering the word for Grammy," she said. "I knew what I wanted to say but I didn't have the words to say it."

The station quickly cut away, and she was examined by paramedics and recovered at home.

Most people with migraines don't have any warning. But about 20 to 30 percent experience sensations before or during a migraine attack."A migraine is not just a headache. It's a complicated brain event," said UCLA neurologist Dr. Andrew Charles, who examined Branson.

The most common sensations include seeing flashes of light or zigzag patterns. In Branson's case, she felt numbness on the right side of her face that affected her speech, Charles said.

"She was actually having the headache while she was having these other symptoms," he said.

Branson told doctors she's had migraines since a child, but never suffered an episode like this before, Charles said.

Get well soon Branson...

Courageous Singaporean woman related her terrible past on TV

As reported by the Star. She had painful memories in the past, but she continues to live on. Be Brave Lin Ai Ling.

As reported by the star below :

A RAPE victim has come out on national television in Singapore to talk about her ordeal, reported Sin Chew Daily.

The young Singaporean woman, who was raped several times by, among others, her own brother's friends, even aborted her own foetus using an iron rod after she got pregnant at 13.

Lin Ai Ling, 35, told a live show that she was first gang-raped at the age of seven by her brother's two friends, but was too afraid to tell her parents or other adults.

She claimed that she was raped again by a stranger while seeking shelter at a park after being chased out of the house by her father when she was 13.

When she got pregnant, Lin said she hit herself on her abdomen with an iron rod until the foetus discharged because she did not know what else to do or who to approach about her condition.

She alleged that she had to undergo another abortion when she got pregnant after being raped by her father’s friend at 18.

Although she later married the friend, Lin said they eventually divorced because she could no longer tolerate his physical abuse.

Lin said when she met her pre­sent husband, Liu Guo Cheng, 38, she struggled mentally before finally revealing her background to him.

However, she said she was glad to hear that despite her troubled past, Liu told her that he still wanted to marry her.
