    Certain Flights Resume in Europe


    2010 - 04.21

    LONDON – The first flight has landed at London’s Heathrow Airport — Europe’s busiest hub — since airspace across the continent was closed by ash spewed from a volcano in Iceland.

    Many European flights took to the skies Tuesday as airports slowly reopened, but the travel chaos was far from over: A massive flight backlog was growing and scientists feared yet another eruption.

    A flight from Vancouver landed at London’s Heathrow shortly before 2200GMT (6 p.m. EDT) — the first since flight paths were closed after Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH’-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) volcano erupted Wednesday.

    British Airways said it hoped about 24 other flights bound from the United States, Africa and Asia would land later Tuesday at Heathrow.

    THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

    LONDON (AP) — European airports lurched back to life on Tuesday, but the travel gridlock created by Iceland’s volcanic ash plume was far from over: Officials said it would be weeks before tens of thousands of stranded travelers can be brought home.

    Tsunami warning lifted; Waves reach Japan, Russia


    2010 - 02.28

    TOKYO – The tsunami from Chile’s devastating earthquake hit Japan’s main islands and the shores of Russia on Sunday, but the smaller-than-expected waves prompted the lifting of a Pacific-wide alert. Hawaii and other Pacific islands were also spared.

    Hundreds of thousands of people fled shorelines for higher ground after the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii warned 53 nations and territories that a tsunami had been generated by Saturday’s magnitude-8.8 earthquake. After the center lifted its warning, some countries kept their own watches in place as a precaution.

    In Japan, the biggest wave hit the northern island of Hokkaido. There were no immediate reports of damage from the four-foot (1.2-meter) wave, though some piers were briefly flooded.

    As it crossed the Pacific, the tsunami dealt populated areas — including the U.S. state of Hawaii — only a glancing blow.

    The tsunami raised fears Pacific nations could suffer from disastrous waves like those that killed 230,000 people around the Indian Ocean in December 2004, which happened with little-to-no warning and much confusion about the impending waves.

    Officials said the opposite occurred after the Chile quake: They overstated their predictions of the size of the waves and the threat.

    “We expected the waves to be bigger in Hawaii, maybe about 50 percent bigger than they actually were,” said Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist for the warning center. “We’ll be looking at that.”

    Rescuers struggle to save lives after Chile quake

    CONCEPCION, Chile – Rescuers edged their way toward quake victims trapped in a toppled apartment block early Sunday even as looters stole food and robbed banks after one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Chile.

    Authorities put the death toll from Saturday’s magnitude-8.8 quake at 214, but believed the number would grow. They said 1.5 million Chileans were affected and 500,000 homes severely damaged by the mammoth temblor.

    A tsunami caused by the quake that swept across the Pacific killed several people on a Chilean island but caused little damage in other countries, after precautionary evacuations of hundreds of thousands of people. The tsunami warning was lifted a day after the earthquake.

    President Michelle Bachelet, who leaves office March 11, declared a “state of catastrophe” in central Chile. “It was a catastrophe of devastating consequences,” she said.

    Police said more than 100 people died in Concepcion, the largest city near the epicenter with more than 200,000 people. The university was among the buildings that caught fire around the city as gas and power lines snapped. Many streets were littered with rubble from edifices and inmates escaped from a nearby prison.

    Paypal holds a MYR1.02/MYR1.05 after linking a Card


    2010 - 02.24

    I used to link Tune Visa Debit Card last year. I didn’t find any holding amount by PayPal apart of the $1.95. But, this time, I have just linked both my PB Day2Day Card and Maybank Visa Debit to PayPal. I noticed that other than the $1.95 for verification, there is another amount MYR1.02 (for Maybank) and MYR1.05 (for Public Bank) is hold by PayPal.

    For Maybank, if you have M2U internet banking account, it will be shown under Accounts & Banking –> Savings Account –> Debit Card History as “PREAUTH SALE PAYPAL DATED 13/02/10 $1.00 RM1.02“.

    When I was first curious about this amount, I searched through Google. I found that some Malaysians are having the same issue. So, part of them said they got back the refunds. I am not so sure when do I receive the refund, so I called up Maybank. One of the operator which is kinda impolite, insisted that the transactions are between me and PayPal and nothing to do with Maybank. So, they don’t know anything. I was wondering if they really couldn’t retrieve the information about the transaction. I didn’t ask much because of the impolite attitude. Until then, I contacted Public Bank, I clearly understand what happened.

    PB Day2Day Card has linked to Paypal successfully!

    The debit card that disappoint me is that Maybank Cherry debit card.. 1st when I applied for that card, I thought it really could be linked to Paypal where the officer in Maybank told me so.. What I had did wrongly was I didn’t do research at the 1st..

    After that, I tried to look through google search and i found that tunemoney and pb visa electron are both confirmed that can be linked to paypal.. the annual fee of rm24 for pb visa electron is actually the reason why i didnt apply for it.. I go for a tunemoney card which requires rm12 annual fee which is a relevant fee.. now i feel kinda inconvenient whenever i wanna use my paypal because i gotta keep reloading my tunemoney card and always been charged rm0.50 through fpx reload, this is the cheapest way of reloading the card.. and now they had changed the fee system, annual fee rm12 is gone, but rm1.50/month fee came.. =.= so i am going to cancel it very soon..
