CrimeFather Lets His Daughter Die, Rather Than Be Touched By 'strange' Men by jidxin(op): 9:09am On Aug 10, 2015
A father of a 20-year-old girl let his daughter drown, after he stopped life
guards from rescuing her. He preferred that his daughter die rather than she be
touched by a strange man.
Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Lt. Col Ahmed Burqibah, Deputy Director of Dubai
Police’s Search and Rescue Department said that this incident took place at a
beach in Dubai.
“This is one of the incidents which I cannot forget. It shocked me and
many others who were involved in the case. The Asian father took his wife
and kids to the beach for picnic and fun.
The kids were swimming in the beach when suddenly, the 20-year-old girl
started drowning and screaming for help. Two rescue men were at the
beach, and they rushed to help the girl.
However, there was one obstacle which prevented them from reaching the
girl and helping her. This obstacle was the belief of this Asian man who
considered that if these men touched his daughter, then this would
dishonour her. It cost him the life of his daughter.”
Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the father of the girl did not want the rescue men
to touch his daughter as they were strange men.
“The father was a tall and strong man. He started pulling and preventing
the rescue men and got violent with them. He told them that he prefers his
daughter being dead than being touched by a strange man.”
He pointed out that this delay and fight with the girl’s father cost the girl her
life. She drowned.
“She died unfortunately, at a time when she had a chance to live,
especially that the rescue men were so close to her to pull her out of the
water.”
Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the girl’s father was later arrested by Dubai Police
for stopping the rescue team from saving his daughter’s life and doing their job.
“He was prosecuted and sued by the concerned authorities.”

CareerMeet Ten Youngest Inventors. [what Are You Going To Do For Your Generation?]. by jidxin(op): 5:52pm On Aug 06, 2015
MEET TEN YOUNGEST INVENTORS. [WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR YOUR
GENERATION?].
Most of the young people on this list created their inventions before they even
made it out of high school! This list of the 10 youngest innovators includes
people who are responsible for innovations that have entertained, assisted and
delighted people around the world.
1
George Westinghouse, Rotary Steam Engine - 19 years old
In 1865, Westinghouse received what would be the first of many patents with
his invention of the rotary steam engine.
Westinghouse is credited for revolutionizing the railroad industry with both his
steam engine and other relevant innovations including a railroad braking
system using compressed air. This made it possible for trains to travel more
safely, and at higher speeds.
By 1905, approximately 2 million vehicles and almost 90,000 locomotives had
a Westinghouse Quick-Action Automatic Brake installed. (Source 1 | Source 2 |

Philo Farnsworth, Television - 14 years old
Without Philo Farnsworth we may have never seen a television. Can you
imagine?
As a 14-year-old boy in Rigby, Idaho, Farnsworth drafted his first sketch of
what would later become the electronic television. For the remainder of his life,
Farnsworth labored painstakingly to create the world's first all-electronic image
display device. He is considered to be the godfather of the modern television.
some of his many creations also include the video camera tube, and the image
dissector. (Source 1 | Source 2 | Photo)

Peter Chilvers, Windsurfing - 12 years old
In 1958, 12-year-old Peter Chilvers created the very first sailboard.
As a young boy on Hayling Island, located on the southern coast of Britain,
Chilvers enjoyed a variety of water sports. One day he decided to put a sail on
his surfboard and the rest is history.
Chilvers is still heavily involved in windsurfing culture. He founded the London
East End Windsurfing Centre for underprivileged children and is currently
spearheading the bid for his hometown of Hayling Island to create a €40 million
windsurfing and sailing center. (Source 1 | Source 2 | Photo)

George Nissen, Trampoline - 16 years old
George Nissen designed the first modern trampoline in his parent's garage with
the help of his gymnastics coach Larry Griswold. He first built a rectangular
frame, and then stretched a taut piece of canvas over the rectangular frame,
thus creating the first trampoline.
After going to college, Nissen continued his gymnastics career and even won
three NCAA championships for the University of Iowa. After majoring in
Business, Nissen traveled the world and while in Mexico learned the Spanish
word "trampoline." Later that year, he trademarked his invention under the
English version of the word and began to create and sell his trampolines across
the country. (Source 1 | Source 2 | Photo)

Horatio Adams, Bubble Gum – mid teens
Though many attribute the creation of chewing gum to businessman Thomas
Adams, it was actually his son Horatio that played an intricate role in the
creation of this American staple.
Adams had purchased Mexican chicle and was attempting to transform the
natural substance into a rubber substitute. However, after spending some time
with the substance, young Horatio quickly realized that chicle could be turned
into a chewable substance.
He created 200 balls of what later became known as bubble gum. Horatio had
the local druggist dispense the balls. By mid-afternoon that day, all bubble gum
balls had been sold for 1 penny. (Source 1 | Source 2 | Photo)

Frank Epperson, Popsicles - 11 years old
In 1905, eleven-year-old Frank Epperson forgot about a mixture of water and
powdered soda that was in a cup with a stirring stick on his porch. It was a
cold evening and the next morning, Epperson discovered a frozen pop on his
porch. He found it delicious and called the concoction an "Epsicle." For the next
18 years, Epperson didn't pursue development of his accidental invention.
However, he made the tasty treat for his children and they called the cold treat
"Pop's Sicle."
In 1923, Epperson commercialized the product, and applied for a patent. He
then created a variety of new flavors and distributed his cold product to the
public. (Source 1 | Source 2 | Photo)

Blaise Pascal, Mechanical Calculator - 19 years old
As a child prodigy, Blaise Pascal was educated by his father, a successful
French tax collector. His creation of an adding machine was the groundwork for
the modern day calculator, which he created in 1642 while helping his father at
work.
Pascal's father spent all day conducting complex mathematical calculations as
a tax collector for the crown. Little Pascal created a wooden box that had 16
separate dials and when each dial was turned, additions and subtractions were
able to be done quickly.
Blaise Pascal makes it to one of the top spots on our list because he was able
to do something that others had tried and failed. In fact, Leonardo da Vinci
attempted to create a calculating machine that was similar to the one created
by Pascal. (Source 1 | Source 2 | Photo)

Becky Schroeder, Glo-Sheet - 12 years old
In 1974, Becky Schroeder created The Glo- Sheet and became the youngest
woman to be granted a U.S. patent.
Becky was only 10 years old when she was attempting to do homework in her
mom's car. As it got darker outside, she had the idea that there should be a
way to make her paper easier to see in the dark. Becky took matters into her
own hands and began playing around with phosphorescent materials, which
exhibited light but without heat. She then used phosphorescent paint to cover
an acrylic board and The Glow Sheet was created.
At the ripe old age of 12, Becky became the youngest women to be approved
for a U.S. patent for her Glo-Sheet invention. (Source 1 | Source 2 | Photo)

Louis Braille, the Braille Reading - 15 years old
Louis Braille is the second young French inventor to make our list.
As a child, Braille was accidentally blinded. After moving to Paris to attend a
school for the visually impaired, he found they had books that allowed the
students to use their hands to touch large raised words on the page as a
means for them to read.
Braille decided to create a better system using raised dots instead of raised
letters. The language of Braille has since become the tactile writing system
used by the blind and the visually impaired around the world. (Source 1 |

Alexander Graham Bell, Telephone - 18 years old
At 18, Alexander Graham Bell started to develop a way to transmit speech. His
creation of what he called the "harmonic telegraph" involved the idea of
transmitting a voice message through a single wire to a separately located
receiver. His experiments with his assistant Thomas Watson finally proved
successful on March 10, 1876, when the first complete sentence was
transmitted: "Watson, come here; I want you."
Bell created other inventions during his lifetime, and also was respected for the
role he played in assisting the deaf.

The term is also used to describe the meeting of tidal or other non-riverine
bodies of water, such as two canals or a canal and a lake. Below is a collection
of 10 incredible confluences around the world. For more, there is a fascinating
list of notable confluences on Wikipedia that I recommend you check out.
The confluences below were selected for their dramatic visual contrast. Thus,
culturally significant confluences such as the Sangam near Allahabad, India,
where the sacred rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati meet to create one of
the holiest places in Hinduism, were not included for this reason. Please enjoy
the list below and let us know of any other interesting confluences you are
aware of. Perhaps we can do a follow-up post if there is interest!
