2 Filipinos hurt in Riyadh construction site accident
MANILA, Philippines – Two Filipinos were slightly injured in an accident yesterday at a construction site in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) reported today.
Citing information from the the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh, the DFA said the two Filipinos were injured after getting hit by falling debris at the construction site at the Princess Noura University in Riyadh.
One of the Filipino victims suffered a fractured leg while the other one had a back injury.
The DFA said about 20 workers were at the site during the accident. Three were confirmed dead – a Bangladeshi, a Lebanese and a Nepali.
“A three-person Embassy team headed by Vice Consul Roussel Reyes immediately went to the worksite and was informed by Saudi Oger Safety Officer Fernando Obeso, a Filipino, that one of the Filipinos injured was hit by falling debris and suffered a fractured leg, while the other suffered a back injury,” the DFA said.
Nine others were injured and
Apple’s invested in a ‘very strategic’ $3.9b component supply agreement, but what is it?
Here's an interesting little note from Apple's record-breaking Q1 2011 financial sales call: according to CFO Peter Oppenheimer and acting CEO / COO Tim Cook, the company's made a two-year, $3.9 billion deal with three suppliers to secure a "very strategic" component for its products. Cook wouldn't identify what the component was, citing competitive reasons, but he did say the arrangement was much like Apple's famous deals to source iPod flash memory that date back to 2005. According to Tim, "We think that was an absolutely fantastic use of Apple's cash, and we constantly look for more of these, and so in the past several quarters we've identified another area... these payments consist of both prepayments and capital for processes and tooling, and similar to the flash agreement, they're focused in an area that we think is very strategic."
Importantly, Apple paid out $650m under its agreements for this mystery part this past quarter, and it's planning to spend another $1.05b in payments next quarter, so this is already happening in a big way -- and frankly, we're dying to know what it is, since Apple has a long history of squeezing the market for components it wants. Our best guess? High-density displays for the iPhone and iPad -- we've heard some rumors of deals with Toshiba and Sharp, but that's just conjecture, and we don't know who the third vendor is. We're digging, but in the meantime listen to Peter and Tim in the clip after the break.
WBA Super Flyweight champion, to stop spreading lies about the family
Nanay Donaire tells her son Nonito Jr., WBA Super Flyweight champion, to stop spreading lies about the family
Lumikha ng kontrobersya ang mga pahayag ng Filipino boxer na si Nonito Donaire Jr. sa exclusive interview sa kanya ni Tris Dixon ng boxingnews.com.
Sa artikulo na may pamagat na "Nonito Donaire: The Sadness Behind The Smile," na lumabas sa boxingnews.com noong January 6, 2011, muling ikinuwento ni Nonito ang hindi nila pagkakasundo ng mga magulang niya na tutol sa kanyang misis na si Rachel.
Unang naungkat ang gap ng mag-amang Nonito Sr. at Nonito Jr. nang mag-guest ito sa Showbiz Central. Napag-usapan ang kanilang hindi pagkakasundo na nag-umpisa noong November 2008. Ipinagtapat ni Nonito Jr. sa kanyang TV guesting noon na hindi boto ang pamilya niya sa kanyang asawa.
Umingay uli ang family feud ng mga Donaire dahil sa mga ipinagtapat ni Nonito Jr. sa boxingnews.com na mariing pinabulaanan ng kanyang ina na nakapanayam naman ni Anthony Andales ng philboxing.com.
Humingi ang PEP ng permiso kay Anthony at philboxing.com owner Dong Secuya para i-reprint ang mga sagot ng ina ni Nonito Jr. at pumayag sila.
MOM SAYS IT'S NOT TRUE. Sinabi ni Nanay Donaire kay Anthony na walang katotohanan ang mga rebelasyon ni Nonito Jr. sa boxingnews.com na galing siya sa mahirap na pamilya, na hindi siya ang paboritong anak at biktima siya ng pagmamaltrato ng kanyang military man na ama.
Ito ang kabuuan ng interview ni Anthony sa ina ni Nonito Jr. para sa philboxing.com:
"'Enough is enough,' Nanay Donaire (Mom Donaire) told Anthony Andales. She wanted to clarify everything and
