MTUC SHOCKED AT CONDUCT OF STATE OWNED COMPANY

Assar Senari Holdings Sdn Bhd has retrenched employees after coercing others to take VSS. 70% of employees lost their jobs, including office boys and clericals. 

While MTUC fully respect a company’s discretion to restructure, such restructuring must be bona fide and cannot be a cloak to get rid of workers.  

As the Chief Minister (Borneo Post 1/10) has stated that the company has lots of projects and it will be having the same ownership and partners, there is cannot be any redundancy in the company. As such VSS or retrenchment is totally unjustified and illegal. 

What MTUC cannot accept is that the claim that 70% of the employees are bad workers without any proof.  It appears that the company is blaming workers including office boys while directors remained and some directors even promoted. 

For a state owned company to say workers come and go and they can change workers anytime showed a complete disrespect for workers dignity and their fundamental rights. 

MTUC will take appropriate actions to protect the rights of workers

Fresh Lemon Grass Drink Causes Apoptosis to Cancer Cells

Tuesday 24 June 2008

This is an article by Allison Kaplan Sommer 02, April 2006

(apoptosis) noun: a type of cell death in which the cell uses specialized cellular machinery to kill itself; a cell suicide mechanism that enables metazoans to control cell number and eliminate cells that threaten the animal's survival.

Fresh lemon grass fields in  Israel  become  Mecca  for cancer patients

A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube. Israeli researchers find way to make cancer cells self-destruct -Ben Gurion University. At first, Benny Zabidov, an Israeli agriculturalist who grows greenhouses full of lush spices on a pastoral farm in Kfar Yedidya in the Sharon region, couldn't understand why so many cancer patients from around the country were showing up on his doorstep asking for fresh lemon grass. It turned out that their doctors had sent them. 'They had been told to drink eight glasses of hot water with fresh lemon grass steeped in it on the days that they went for their radiation and chemotherapy treatments,' Zabidov told ISRAEL21c.. 'And this is the place you go to in Israel for fresh lemon grass.'
 
It all began when researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev discovered last year that the lemon aroma in herbs like lemon grass kills cancer cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The research team was led by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Prof. Yakov Weinstein, incumbent of the Albert Katz Chair in Cell-Differentiation and Malignant Diseases, from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at BGU.

Citral is the key component that gives the lemony aroma and taste in several herbal plants such as lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), melissa (Melissa officinalis) and verbena (Verbena officinalis.)

According to Ofir, the study found that citral causes cancer cells to 'commit suicide: using apoptosis, a mechanism called programmed cell death.' A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt the cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube.

The BGU investigators checked the influence of the citral on cancerous cells by adding them to both cancerous cells and normal cells that were grown in a petri dish. The quantity added in the concentrate was equivalent to the amount contained in a cup of regular tea using one gram of lemon herbs in hot water. While the citral killed the cancerous cells, the normal cells remained unharmed.

The findings were published in the scientific journal Planta Medica, which highlights research on alternative and herbal remedies. Shortly afterwards, the discovery was featured in the popular Israeli press.

Why does it work? Nobody knows for certain, but the BGU scientists have a theory. 'In each cell in our body, there is a genetic program which causes programmed cell death. When something goes wrong, the cells divide with no control and become cancer cells. In normal cells, when the cell discovers that the control system is not operating correctly - for example, when it recognizes that a cell contains faulty genetic material following cell division - it triggers cell death,' explains Weinstein. 'This research may explain the medical benefit of these herbs.'

The success of their research led them to the conclusion that herbs containing citral may be consumed as a preventative measure against certain cancerous cells. As they learned of the BGU findings in the press, many physicians in Israel began to believe that while the research certainly needed to be explored further, in the meantime it would be advisable for their patients, who were looking for any possible tool to fight their condition, to try to harness the cancer-destroying properties of citral.

That's why Zabidov's farm - the only major grower of fresh lemon grass in Israel - has become a pilgrimage destination for these patients. Luckily, they found themselves in sympathetic hands. Zabidov greets visitors with a large kettle of aromatic lemon grass tea, a plate of cookies, and a supportive attitude. 'My father died of cancer, and my wife's sister died young because of cancer,' said Zabidov. 'So I understand what they are dealing with. And I may not know anything about medicine, but I'm a good listener. And so they tell me about their expensive painful treatments and what they've been through. I would never tell them to stop being treated, but it's great that they are exploring alternatives and drinking the lemon grass tea as well.'Zabidov knew from a young age that agriculture was his calling. At age 14, he enrolled in the Kfar Hayarok Agricultural high school. After his army service, he joined an idealistic group which headed south, in the Arava desert region, to found a new moshav (agricultural settlement) called Tsofar. 'We were very successful; we raised fruits and vegetables, and,' he notes with a smile, 'We raised some very nice children.'

On a trip to Europe in the mid-80s, he began to become interested in herbs. Israel , at the time, was nothing like the trend-conscious cuisine-oriented country it is today, and the only spices being grown commercially were basics like parsley, dill, and coriander. Wandering in the Paris market, looking at the variety of herbs and spices, Zabidov realized that there was a great export potential in this niche. He brought samples back home with him, 'which was technically illegal,' he says with a guilty smile, to see how they would grow in his desert greenhouses. Soon, he was growing basil, oregano, tarragon, chives, sage, marjoram and melissa, and mint just to name a few.

His business began to outgrow his desert facilities, and so he decided to move north, settling in the moshav of Kfar Yedidya, an hour and a half north of Tel Aviv. He is now selling 'several hundred kilos' of lemon grass per week, and has signed with a distributor to package and put it in health food stores. Zabidov has taken it upon himself to learn more about the properties of citral, and help his customers learn more, and has invited medical experts to his farm to give lectures about how the citral works and why..

He also felt a responsibility to know what to tell his customers about its use. 'When I realized what was happening, I picked up the phone and called Dr. Weinstein at Ben-Gurion University , because these people were asking me exactly the best way to consume the citral. He said to put the loose grass in hot water, and drink about eight glasses each day.'

Zabidov is pleased by the findings, not simply because it means business for his farm, but because it might influence his own health. Even before the news of its benefits were demonstrated, he and his family had been drinking lemon grass in hot water for years, 'just because it tastes good.'

Subject: criminal CASES REPORTED IN 2008

(1) Today i passed by a building which had an ATM  machine. There was an old man looking at me and he suddenly  called me. He said he didn't know how to read, so he  gave me anATM card and asked me to help him take money from  the ATM machine.  I refused and told him to ask the  security guard if he needed help.
 

REMEMBER : ATM machines have CCTV. If you help him he may turn round and say that you had robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Further the ATM card might not have been his. So please be  careful.
 

(2) Also, once the electricity at my house suddenly went off. I looked from the windows and saw that my neighbours still had their lights on. So I went outside the house to check the Meter Box. But once I opened the door, a man with knife stopped me  from closing it. And they robbed and injured us.
 

 REMEMBER : Even if the electricity suddenly goes  off, DO NOT open ur door immediately. Look around to see if  there is anything unusual or sounds.

 

 (3) This is another story. You think you had heard it  before, but this is slightly different. Its about a girl,  she saw a kid by the roadside crying. When she asked the  kid, the kid said he was lost and wanted her to take him  home. The kid even gave her a paper which he said it was his  house address. So she took him home. But when she ring the  bell on the door. She was shocked by pressing the door bell  with high-voltage electric. Once she woke up, she was naked  in an empty room.
 

 REMEMBER : Being such a compassion person might not be  a good thing. Pass this on and girls, especially, please be careful..AND DON'T BE TOO GOOD!!

 

 (4) One day, there was an old lady outside my house  holding 2 packets of sweets. At first i thought she was our  neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a  gift. But then when she talk, i can hear that she is a  foreigner i guess, because i don't really understand  what is she talking about. But i know that she is asking for  money. And it just feels that there's something wrong. i  immediately closed the door and ignored her.

 

(5) I was at the ATM machine to take my money. Behind  me, there was an old lady asked me whether i'm able to take my money or not, because she said there's a button might be spoiled, and i don't know since when a small girl came beside me. The small girl was squeezing to my side but i didn't notice, i thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her hand at the hole of the ATM machine where the money comes out, ready to take my money. I felt something wrong and immediately push the small girl away. Then i thought, the small girl and the old lady cooperate together to take my money. The old lady distracted me so that the small girl can take my money away.
 

 REMEMBER: Be VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be aleart for anyone suspicious around you.

 

6) My parents are retired and they stay at home. One afternoon, there was a young stranger said his motorcycle has no more petrol and the petrol station is too far, it's hard to push the motorcyclefor such a long distance, so he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to
 buy petrol. He said he will pay 2, 3 bucks for it. So my mum took one coke bottle for him. He really did took out money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note, and even let my mum to find change for him.But luckily my mum was smart, she said just take and go.
 

 REMEMBER : obviously that note is fake!! Who would want to pay for a stupid empty coke bottle!! Its OBVIOUS to know that that starnger is a fraud!!

 

 (7) this happened in Bali. A newly married couple were having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both are in the changing room, the wife suddenly gone missing. The husband was very anxious and went around to find her. He asked the hotel staffs to help him find her too. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek or wat. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. 3 weeks has passed, there were no news about his missing wife. So he went back and his honeymoon just ended up like that. He was so dissapointed and has no mood to work and so he went to travel to other places. Few
 years later, he came back to Bali, to watch 'FREAK SHOW' in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage, there was a lady without limbs, body including the face, full of scars. When she was distorted on the ground, she gives out a sound of a monster-like voice. when he saw her face, he was shocked. He could not  regconise the face anymore, her missing wife's face with a red birthmark.

 

 (8) this happened in shanghai. Few yeas ago, a girl reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after 5 years, one of her friend found her cousin sister begging beside one of the street in Bangkok, Thailand. The worst thing is that her counsin sister has no more limbs and her body is tied to a lamp post with a Shackle (metal chain).

 

(9) Let's just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear some sound of a BABY CRYING!! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert in these case. The police said it will be a murderer using a recorder with de baby crying sound to attract your attension. These normally happens at night and when you are only alone in the house. GIRLS, especially, plese be careful.
 

(10) i read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, which is known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is Shenzhen
 counterfeit goods distribution center, there are many people there, its also near to the ShenZhen train station and Hong Kong's Luo Hu Port. Its says, C wants to go to the toilet. So A and B waited outside. But then after they waited for so long, they felt weird and went into the toilet to ask her to hurry up. But once they went in, there were nobody inside there. Both were scared as they called C's phone but no one answered. So they called the police. The police asked them whether they had saw anyboby suspicious went into the toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to bring an alive person with more then 100 kg out of the toilet without them noticing. Then A remember there was a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then came back out...the police told them this is not the 1st time happening. The police has already suspect a gang of criminals that always attacks the toilet in a complex where many people are. They use cleaners to kidnap or trafficking in human organs.
 

REMEMBER : please be careful when using the toilet. For anybody, not only girls, boys too!! Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE!!

 Please at least have a partner with you.
 

 PLEASE PASS ON THIS MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND
 FAMILY MEMBERS!!

Mahalkah Harga Sebuah Kereta dari Harga Seorang Anak ?

Ingatlah.... marah mcm mana sekalipun, jgnlah bertindak keterlaluan....kepada
semua parents, sebuah kisah untuk dijadikan iktibar dan pengajaran......

Sebagai ayah atau ibu kita patut juga menghalang perbuatan suami kita memukul,
especially pada anak2 yg masih kecil dan taktau apa2 lagi tu.
 
Mengajar dgn cara memukul bukanlah cara terbaik, mungkin dah sampai masa untuk
badan2 kebajikan educate orang2 kita untuk praktikkan konsep 'time out'
jika anak2 buat salah.

IKUTILAH SEBUAH CERITA BEHUBUNG KAIT DENGAN KERETA DAN
 ANAK
 
Sepasang suami isteri - seperti pasangan lain di kota-kota besar - meninggalkan
anak-anak diasuh pembantu rumah semasa keluar bekerja.

Anak tunggal pasangan ini perempuan berusia tiga setengah tahun. Bersendirian
di rumah, dia kerap dibiarkan pembantunya yang sibuk bekerja bermain diluar,
tetapi pintu pagar tetap dikunci. Bermainlah dia sama ada berbuai-buai diatas
buaian yang dibeli bapanya, ataupun memetik bunga raya,bunga kertas dan
lain-lain di laman rumahnya.
 
Suatu hari dia terjumpa sebatang paku karat. Dia pun melakar simen tempat letak
kereta ayahnya tetapi kerana diperbuat daripada marmar,lakaran tidak kelihatan.
Dicubanya pada kereta baru ayahnya.

Ya... kerana kereta itu bewarna gelap, lakarannya jelas. Apa lagi kanak-kanak
ini pun melakarlah melahirkan kreativitinya. Hari itu bapa dan ibunya
bermotosikal ketempat kerja kerana laluannya sesak sempena perayaan Thaipusam.

Penuh
 sebelah kanan dia beredar ke sebelah kiri kereta. Dilakarnya gambar ibu
dan ayahnya, gambarnya sendiri,lukisan ayam, kucing dan sebagainya mengikut
imaginasinya.Kejadian itu langsung tak disedari si pembantu rumah.

Pulang petang itu, terkejut badaklah pasangan itu melihat kereta yang baru
setahun dibeli dengan bayaran ansuran,berbatik-batik. Si bapa yang belum pun
masuk ke rumah terus menjerit...

'Siapa punya kerja ni?'

Pembantu rumah yang tersentak dengan jeritan itu berlari keluar. Dia juga
beristighfar. Mukanya merah padam ketakutan tambah-tambah melihat wajah bengis
tuannya. Sekali lagi diajukan pertanyaan keras kepadanya, dia terus mengatakan..

'Tak tahu... !' 

'Duduk di rumah sepanjang hari tak tahu, apa kau buat?' herdik si
isteri pula.
 
Si anak yang mendengar suara ayahnya, tiba-tiba berlari keluar dari bilik.
Dengan penuh manja dia berkata...

'Ita buat ayahhh.. cantik kan
 !' katanya menerkam ayahnya ingin
bermanja seperti selalu. 

Si ayah yang hilang sabar merentap ranting kecil pokok bunga raya di depannya,
terus dipukul bertalu-talu tapak tangan anaknya. Si anak yang tak mengerti
apa-apa terlolong-lolong kesakitan sekaligus ketakutan. Puas memukul tapak
tangan, si ayah memukul pula belakang tangan anaknya. Si ibu cuma mendiamkan
diri, antara setuju dan takut pada suami dengan hukuman yang dikenakan.

Pembantu rumah melopong, tak tahu nak buat apa-apa. Si bapa cukup rakus
memukul-mukul tangan kanan dan kemudian tangan
kiri anaknya.

Selepas si bapa masuk ke rumah dituruti si ibu, pembantu rumah menggendong anak
kecil itu, membawanya ke bilik. Dilihatnya tapak tangan dan belakang tangan si
anak kecil calar balar.
 
Pembantu rumah memandikan anak kecil itu. Sambil menyiram air sambil dia
menangis. Anak kecil itu pula terjerit-jerit menahan kepedihan
 sebaik
calar-balar itu terkena air. Sipembantu rumah kemudian menidurkan anak kecil
itu.
 
Si bapa sengaja membiarkan anak itu tidur bersama pembantu rumah.

Keesokkan harinya, pembantu rumah mengadu kedua-dua belah tangan si anak
bengkak. .. 

'Sapukan minyak gamat tu!' balas tuannya, bapa si anak.

Pulang dari kerja, dia tidak melayan anak kecil itu yang menghabiskan masa di
bilik pembantu. Si bapa konon mahu mengajar anaknya.
 
Tiga hari berlalu, si ayah langsung tidak menjenguk anaknya, sementara si ibu
juga begitu tetapi setiap hari bertanya kepada pembantu rumah.

'Ita demam... ' jawap pembantunya ringkas.

'Bagi minum panadol tu,' balas si ibu.

Sebelum si ibu masuk bilik tidur dia menjenguk bilik pembantunya. Apabila
dilihat anaknya Ita dalam pelukan pembantu rumah, dia menutup semula pintu.

Masuk hari keempat, pembantu rumah memberitahu tuannya bahawa suhu badan
 Ita
terlalu panas.

'Petang nanti kita bawa ke klinik. Pukul 5.00 siap' kata majikannya
itu.

Sampai waktunya si anak yang longlai dibawa ke klinik. Doktor mengarahnya ia
dirujuk ke hospital kerana keadaannya serius.

Setelah seminggu di wad pediatrik doktor memanggil bapa dan ibu kanak-kanak
itu.

'Tiada pilihan..' katanya yang mencadangkan agar kedua-dua tangan
kanak-kanak itu dipotong kerana gangren yang terjadi sudah terlalu teruk.

'Ia sudah bernanah, demi nyawanya tangan perlu dipotong dari siku ke
bawah' kata doktor.

Si bapa dan ibu bagaikan terkena halilintar mendengar kata-kata itu. Terasa
diri tunggang terbalik, tapi apalah dapat dikatakan. Si ibu meraung merangkul si
anak. Dengan berat hati dan lelehan air mata isterinya, si bapa terketar-ketar
menandatangani surat kebenaran pembedahan.

Keluar dari bilik pembedahan, selepas ubat bius yang dikenakan habis, si
 anak
menangis kesakitan. Dia juga terpinga-pinga melihat kedua-dua tangannya berbalut
putih. Direnung muka ayah dan ibunya. Kemudian ke wajah pembantu rumah. Dia
mengerutkan dahi melihat mereka semua menangis.

Dalam seksaan menahan sakit, si anak yang keletah bersuara dalam linangan air
mata berkata...

'Abah... Mama... Ita tak buat lagi. Ita tak mau ayah pukul. Ita tak mau
jahat. Ita sayang abah... sayang mama.' katanya berulang kali membuatkan si
ibu gagal menahan rasa.

'Ita juga sayang Kak Narti..' katanya memandang wajah pembantu rumah,
sekaligus membuatkan gadis dari Surabaya itu meraung seperti histeria.

'Abah.. bagilah balik tangan Ita. Buat apa ambil.. Ita janji tak buat lagi!
Ita nak makan macam mana? Nak main macam mana? Ita janji tak conteng kereta
lagi,' katanya  bertalu-talu.

Bagaikan gugur jantung si ibu mendengar kata-kata anaknya.Meraung dia sekuat
hati namun takdir yang
 sudah terjadi, tiada manusia dapat menahannya.

SWEET POISON - A MUST READ

In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around.  Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.

By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications.  The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick. she just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc.,  in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.

She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a  wheelchair) forMarch 22 ^nod.

On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.
I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did.  As a matter of  fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment. 
 I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda!
I e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.
My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!  The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.

Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind.
In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death.

When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for theAspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery.
And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.
If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and  'Spoonful.'

In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis andsystemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant.
I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.
I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic  acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error.  Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Cokeand Diet Pepsi drinkers.  The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition.
We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.

In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision lossreturned and hearing loss improved markedly.

This also applies to cases of tinnitus andfibromyalgia.
During a lecture, I said, 'If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness,  headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!'
People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?'

Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it!  This is a serious problem.
Dr. Esparto (one of my speakers)  remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice, a nurse stated that six of her friends,  who were heavyDiet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence! 

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates.  It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight! 

The easiest way to...

I was on an old, rustic train lumbering through the plains of Harambe, Africa (atDisney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando , Florida ) when I noticed a majestic lion sitting on a rock on top of a hill, in perfect view.


"Aren't we lucky the lion is out," I mused to the "ranger" on the train with us.


"He's always out there, sitting on that rock," he responded.


"Really?" I said. "How do you get him to stay in that exact spot?"


The ranger just smiled.


Several years ago I lived in Savannah GA. We moved there from New York City for a variety of reasons, one of which was to enjoy more relaxed, outdoor living.


The very first piece of furniture we bought was an outdoor table. That's a picture of the back of our house, with the table on the patio. Our kitchen was directly on the other side of those French doors. Our plan was to eat every meal outside.

Our plan failed. Maybe we were lazy. But we always chose to eat in the kitchen, where all the food, drinks, plates, and utensils were.


The idea of eating outside was alluring. But the reality was, apparently, too much effort.


Until, one day, I had a brainstorm. It was an experiment more than anything. I moved the table from the garden to the deck right outside the French doors. Look at the picture; the difference is about ten feet and four steps.

After that, we ate every single meal outside.


A recent study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that the closer teens live to places where alcohol is sold, the greater likelihood they willbinge drink and drive under the influence.


On a certain level this may seem obvious. But it's important. Parents tell teens not to drink. Schools tell teens not to drink. Television ads tell teens not to drink. The law prohibits teens from drinking and prohibits liquor stores from selling to teens. And still, if the liquor store is within walking distance of where the teens live (about half a mile) they will be far more likely to drink. And drive drunk.


Because, to a larger extent than you probably realize, your environment dictates your actions.


It would be lovely to think that we make our own choices and follow through on them, without being too influenced by things around us, but all you need to do is read a little bit of Brian Wansink's book Mindless Eating to realize just how much our actions are determined by our environment. Brian did a series of fascinating studies that suggest the reasons we eat have little to do with hunger and a tremendous amount to do with the subtle cues that drive us.


For example, if you use a big spoon, you'll eat more. If you serve yourself on a big plate, you'll eat more. If you move the small bowl of chocolates on your desk six feet away you'll eat half as much. If you eat chicken wings and remove the bones from the table, you'll forget how much you ate and you'll eat more. If you have a bowl of soup that never gets less than half full, you'll eat more. And the more people you eat with, the more you'll eat.


So don't fight yourself to change your behavior in the midst of the wrong environment; just change the environment. In the case of food, using a salad plate instead of a dinner plate might be all the diet you need.


Marketers already know this. It's why you get so many catalogs over the year. Of course you could go to their website to shop. Or just use the catalog you already have on the counter. But no, they'll send you another one two weeks beforeValentine's Day. Or Halloween. Or Christmas. They know when you're thinking about buying something and they'll make sure that, just as you have that thought, hey look, a catalog.


In your company, think about what you want people to do and whether the environment around them supports the behavior.


A client was complaining to me that his receptionist was not warm and friendly with people when they walked in. Guess where the receptionist sat? Think bank teller. That's right. The receptionist sat behind a glass window! Don't send her to communication training. Just remove the glass.


A friend of mine, the principal of a school in Boston , wanted to increase student engagement. They should talk to each other, he lamented, not just the teacher. He came up with a great solution.


He didn't send out memos. He didn't retrain all the teachers. He didn't print posters and hang them in the classrooms. Instead, he rearranged each classroom, placing the chairs in a semicircle, so the students were facing each other as well as the teacher. Voila.


If you want your employees to talk with each other, knock down the walls. If they sit in ten different countries, use Skype and a video camera permanently attached to their computer so there's no set-up time and it's always sitting there, impossible to ignore. It makes a world of a difference.


You want to make it easier to do something you want done and harder not to.


One of my clients wanted everyone in the company to fill out a time sheet, and they were having a very hard time getting people to do it. Their mindset was compliance. They made it very clear that people didn't have a choice. Everyone was required to do it. That worked for about half the employee population. The rest simply ignored it.


The leaders were about to send out a memo saying no one would get paid unless the time sheet was handed in. But wait, I asked, do we know why they aren't doing the time sheet? We assumed it was because people didn't care. But we asked around anyway.


Well, it turns out that people didn't mind the idea of filling out a timesheet, but they were frustrated by the technology. The online system required people to go through a series of steps (a wizard) in order to put their time in. It was meant to help them, but it took longer and needlessly delayed them. Not by much -- 10 seconds at most -- but that was enough to dissuade 50% of the people from following through.


Once we changed the form and the technology it was on, everyone started using it. They weren't being defiant. They simply weren't walking the 10 feet and four steps to the table. The solution isn't to explain to people why they should take the walk or force them to take the walk. The solution is far simpler: move the table.


The lion that sat so royally on the rock at the top of the hill, day in and day out, for all the park visitors to see?


It turns out the rock he sat on was temperature controlled. It was warm on cold days, cool on hot days. No need to train the lion or tie him to the rock or hope he likes the view. Just make the rock a place he wants to sit.

Patung Jesus dipanah petir

Sculpture 'King of Kings' iaitu patung besar Jesus Christ ini didirikan di perkarangan Solid Rock Church di Monroe , Ohio , US . Ia setinggi 19 meter dan 12 meter lebar dengan aksi 'Jesus' mendepangkan tangan seolah2 berdoa ke langit. Penghuni Monroe amat memegahkan patung ini dan menamakannya 'Touchdown Jesus'. patung ini diperbuat dari plastik dan getah fiber.


Pada 15/06/2010, patung ini dipanah petir dan kilat lalu hangus terbakar.

Begitulah kekuasaan yang ditunjukkan oleh Allah SWT bilamana manusia lupa siapa pencipta sebenarnya.

Semoga kita sentiasa dilindungi oleh Allah SWT sepanjang masa, insya-Allah.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته


صباح الخير .. حيا الله الطيبين

تعرض تمثال اليسوع قرب كنيسة الصخرة العظيمة في مدينة مونرو إحدى مدن ولاية أوهايو

الأمريكية يوم الثلاثاء 15-6-2010 إلى صاعقة من السماء أتت به إلى القواعدويبلغ ارتفاع التمثال 6

طوابق. ولم يتبق من التمثال سوى قطع من العوازل الحرارية وأجزاء من المعادن ورغوة احتراق

وبقايا جبس مصهور كانت تنسج أحشاء التمثال الشهير إضافة إلى مظهره الخارجي












وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ ...

Another evidence of Quran found, recent gas exploration activity in the south east region of the Arabian desertuncovered a Another evidence of Quran found, recent gas exploration activity in the south east region of the Arabian desertuncovered a skeletal remains of a human of phenomenal size. This region of the Arabian Desert is called the Empty Quarter , or in Arsabic, 'Rab-Ul-Khalee'. The discovery was made by the Aramco Exploration team. As Allah states in the Quran that He had created people of phenomenal size the like of which He has not created since. These were the people of Aad where Prophet HUD was sent. They were very tall, big, and very powerful, such that they could put their arms around a tree trunk and uproot it. Later these people, who were given all the power, turned against Allah and the Prophet and transgressed beyond all boundaries set by Allah. As a result they were destroyed. Ulema's of Saudi Arabia believe these to be the remains of the people of Aad. Saudi Military has secured the whole area and no one is allowed to enter except the ARAMCO personnel. See the attachment and note the size of the two men standing in the picture in comparison to the size of the skeleton.
