HULU TERENGGANU: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Ministry has
enlisted amateur radio enthusiasts' help to facilitate communication should
there be a breakdown during the anticipated floods here. In this regard,
Deputy Minister Datuk Jailani Johari (pix) said the ministry through the
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and amateur radio
associations would act as go-between in relaying information. "The amateur
radio associations will be the link between us and the community as
sometimes when a flood occurs, there would be communication disruption in
certain areas," he told reporters after visiting ailing residents at
Kampung Dusun here yesterday.

Scientists have used Google Glass to teach people Morse code within four
hours using a series of vibrations felt near the ear. Participants learned
it without paying attention to the signals -- they played games while
feeling the taps and hearing the corresponding letters. After those few
hours, they were 94 per cent accurate keying a sentence that included every
letter of the alphabet and 98 per cent accurate writing codes for every
letter.
