Maybank’s Singapore home loan rate cut sets cat among pigeons
2008-02-19 00:03:00 Maybank’s Singapore home loan rate cut sets cat among pigeons Analysts divided on whether this will signal undercutting among the banks By CHOW PENN NEE (SINGAPORE) Maybank has fired a salvo that could shake up the home loan market here by slashing its rates. This has led to speculation that banks might start to undercut each other to drum up business. Meanwhile, the banks themselves are adopting a cautious stance in a falling interest rate environment that could change direction. Â Â For a three-week period, Maybank is launching a promotional three-year fixed rate home loan package which is the lowest of all the banks surveyed. Home-owners pay 1.68 per cent per annum for the first year, 2.68 per cent pa for second year and 3.38 per cent pa for the third year. The rates apply to both HDB and private home loans. Homeowners are subject to a three-year lock-in period and fees will apply in case of early redemption, prepayment and cancellation during that time. Before this promo...

Hollywood Issues Birth Control For Squirrels, Pigeons
2007-12-31 16:35:00 I know on this last day of 2007 there are many things that we can be concerned about. For instance, we have the drama (to put it lightly) in the Middle East; Pakistan is in an uproar; people are losing (or have lost) their homes in the United States at an alarming rate; and of course the economy here is crappy.But, when I saw this story, I about choked."Squirrels In Hollywood To Receive Birth Control."Here are the thoughts off the top of my head---what the hell do squirrels need BC for? Are they too amorous? I thought that was rabbits.Do they have that much money in Hollywood that they have decided to spend it on squirrels and other animals who procreate to frequently?Oh, and pigeons are targeted too. I guess there are too many pigeons flying aroung pooping on celebrity vehicles. Aww, pooo pooo!Officials familiar with the program are saying they are feeding BC to the animals to cut down on their population as well as disease.Well, forgive me for saying this, but I don't recall...

Iain Dale puts the cat amongst the EU pigeons.
2007-11-23 07:49:00 Iain Dale's Telegraph column is definitely going to be controversial. Here's a small extract:[Tories should pledge a vote on being in the EU.Stealing other parties' policies is almost de rigueur for politicians nowadays. Gordon Brown is the busiest magpie of all: none the less I suggest that David Cameron looks to the Lib Dems to steal a policy that might mean the difference between being the largest party in a hung parliament and being prime minister of a government with a Conservative majority.]This is going to be a very hot topic over the next couple of days. A brave move by Mr Dale.ConservativeHome disagree with Iain, feeling that it isn't a simplistic question of in-or-out.

Pigeons, People & Perceptions
2007-11-16 18:09:00 by Mickey Z. New York City Councilman Simcha Felder is sick and tired of some Big Apple residents "doing whatever they do all over the city without anyone trying to stop it." Is he talking about trigger-happy cops, double parked cab drivers, omnipresent terror suspects, loud cell phone users, or maybe corporate lawyers? Nope. Felder has his legislative eye on Columba livia, a.k.a. Rock Pigeon (The bird formerly known as Rock Dove). According to BirdWeb.com, the Rock Pigeon is "originally from Europe, Northern Africa, and India" but was "introduced it to North America in the 1600s." Since then, of course, "numbers have increased significantly as more and more of our country is urbanized." To combat the seemingly urgent problem of urbanized pigeon droppings, the intrepid Councilman Felder plans to introduce legislation banning the feeding of Columba livia. To defy this ban would be to risk a $1,000 fine. (Interestingly, the Rock Pigeon is d...

700 Pigeons Fly...
2007-06-16 12:42:00 Boss Mohit Suri has characteristically used the Islamic knowledge of autonomy and freedom through his characters Shivam, Reema Zaidi and Aliyah Hamid in his approaching film, Awarapan. "The film focuses on how Shivam perseveres to get Reema the freedom she yearns for, with Aliyah as his reference point," says Suri. "My mother is half Muslim. I have read about how Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) freed the slaves of Mecca and Madina. I've only tried using that teaching in a figurative sense through my actors' actions." One of the actions implying liberation is used by actress Shreya Saran (Aliyah Hamid) in the Maula Maula song when she sets a pigeon free, as seen in the promos. "Actually, more than 700 pigeons have been freed in the film," reveals Mohit. "Most of them during Maula Maula in Jodhpur. Others were set free in various scenes of the film in Hong Kong and Bangkok."

Paris Pigeons
2007-05-29 23:58:00 Paris is full of pigeons. They are everywhere spreading their hideous and annoying existence around the city of light. Sometimes I feel as if they have adopted the taste of human as to where to go.At Centre George Pompidou where armies of the young and arty and tourist-y gather, thousands of pigeons group up. On the quais Voltaire where some people go there for picnic or a romantic rest looking on the river, several pigeons do the same. There are pigeons in the parks, in front of Notre Dame, in front the Louvre, and once or twice I see some in the metro... practically everywhere. Sometimes even if their physiques are not present, their "merde" is, as if dog's are not enough on the streets already.I don't know who keep feeding them but they are all fat... How come human has learnt to help other species before they help each other. They feed unknown pigeons and ignore the fact that there are underfed Ethiopians. The pigeons here are so fat that I wonder why the Chinese restaurants ...

Pigeons
2007-05-01 13:45:00 On Friday morning this chair has been left outside a shop in Souk Waqif, opposite the KDF Islamic Centre. With an extremely low crime rate, it is common for shop owners to leave their shops open but unattended, or even leave large items outside overnight. This shop owner didn't leave his products, though - extremely valuable falcons.After taking this photo, I was lucky enough to meet the architect. The KDF Islamic Centre represents a combination of five buildings, including the Qatar Centre for the Presentation of Islam. This is an organisation which tries to convert non-Muslims to the faith. The Centre also has a multi-purpose hall and is home to a bank. Three of the five buildings have separate entrances for men and women. The Mosque forms the centre of the building. The idea behind the combination of buildings was partly to attract non-Muslims, who might be scared of entering a mosque, into the building. The spiral shape of the tower is to symbolise touching with the sky and wi...

Pigeons To Judge Pollution
2007-04-07 14:06:00 Can the pollution level of a city be judged by pigeon feathers? Yes, if research done at a university here is to be believed.According to researchers in the zoology department of the University of Rajasthan, India, the shed feathers of pigeons can indicate the pollution level of the area they inhabit.Research scholar Bhumesh Bhadoriya reached the conclusion after three years of study under the guidance of Professor P.P. Bakre. "It is the first time in the country that bird feathers have been used to assess the pollution level," said Bakre.The pigeon feathers are first collected and then tested in the laboratory for length and the heavy metals in it. The feathers are chemically tested in nitric and perchloric acid.Pigeons normally have a fixed habitat in a particular area. The heavy metals in the environment enter the feather, and remain even after they are shed. The feathers are tested in the lab. Initially, 25 pigeons were caught from different areas. Their feathers were then studi...

Chinese Scientists Remotely Control Pigeons
2007-03-01 01:23:02 A group of Beijing scientists have succeeded in remotely controlling a bird in flight. By implanting electrodes into the brain, the pigeon reacts to the same stimulus, artificially, that it would normally react to under natural weather conditions. From this, they were able to command the bird to fly up or down, or right or left, just like a basic R.C. airplane. Except this one can shit on you. In case you haven’t already extrapolated the implications of this research, think “spy insects” and “cyborg primates.” Hey, if you buy into Descartes, animals are just machines in the first place, right? And if a real-life Jurassic Park ever gets off the ground, look forward to dino riders. (image via Mutant Palm)
