However, some psychologists had worked out some investigating and defining the mentally illnesses, they stated that mental mentally illnesses which also known as mentally disorders were similar to the heart diseases, cancers, and accidents which were the greatest threats to the health of the public. Nowadays, mental disorders have now become common within every society. But, how was the mental disorders recognized in the society? Looking through the history of mental illnesses in terms of ancient belief, it will help us to understand and discovers more about mental disorder.historically, people believed that the spirits of the people who had mental disabled were taken by the evils and being controlled by them. Their only solution to treat them were to hire a healer, medicine man or a spiritualist who knew magics or special talents and treated the mentally disabled person carefully with good hygiene, balanced nutrition, and some special ritual activities. After few centuries, people become supertitous and believe that mental illnesses became a risk towards to the society.

Japan's New Suicide Fad

2008-05-07T07:52:00.000-07:00

Using common household cleaning agents, the people of the Rising Sun have hit the jackpot in a painless way out of life through easily obtainable means. The only downside being that the toxic gases(H2S) emitted to induce death would pose a danger to innocents surrounding Mr. Depressed who is trying to die.

However, these sad people aren't without a care for the world. When they do carry out their "kicking the bucket" plan, some of them take the trouble to place warning signs and communicate to bystanders about their little experiment of ascension to a higher realm (or in some cases, lower).

It just shows that the majority of sane humans have a heart for his/her fellow homo sapiens. You gotta give them some credit for thinking about others when they are gonna drop dead in a few minutes.

Oh, and in most cases I would say that sharing is caring but for this one I won't be by posting the secret recipe here in case any nutter in Comtech is whack enough to try it out. Bloomberg posted it till people blasted them for promoting suicide and I don't wanna take any responsibility for chemical attacks in a housing area, or worse, the student condos.

Don't get too curious folks. And adios from me.

Globalization

2008-03-20T16:45:00.000-07:00

Globalization is a process the country of the world share it's economy, culture, social technology and political force together and unite become a big single society.

according to Noam Chomsky states that:
“ The term "globalization" has been appropriated by the powerful to refer to a specific form of international economic integration, one based on investor rights, with the interests of people incidental. That is why the business press, in its more honest moments, refers to the "free trade agreements" as "free investment agreements" (Wall St. Journal). Accordingly, advocates of other forms of globalization are described as "anti-globalization"; and some, unfortunately, even accept this term, though it is a term of propaganda that should be dismissed with ridicule. No sane person is opposed to globalization, that is, international integration. Surely not the left and the workers movements, which were founded on the principle of international solidarity - that is, globalization in a form that attends to the rights of people, not private power systems. ”

To make you understand the term more clearly here is an example...

'What is globalisation, one may ask. Well, below here is probably the best example on the definition of globalisation.

Question : What is the height of globalization?
Answer : Princess Diana's death

Question : How come?
Answer : An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was high on Scottish whiskey, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines! And this is sent to you by a Malaysian, using Bill Gates' technology which he stole from the Japanese.
And you are probably reading this on one of the IBM clones that use
Taiwanese-made chips, and Korean made monitors, assembled by
Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by lorries driven by
Indians, hijacked by Indonesians and finally sold to you by Chinamen!
That's Globalisation!!! '

Although globalization is a good thing to us, but there are still some bodies like the Global Justice Movement they argue that poor countries have less advantage when come to globalization. acrding to the history, globalization have raise the most of the country economy and technology.
so no doubt that globalization is a good thing for man kind.

Malaysia english VS Uk english...

2008-03-15T16:49:00.000-07:00

Malaysia English vs Britian English ... Who says our English is bad.
Just see below - Ours is simple, short, concise, straight-to-point, effective etc.
The English did invent the English Language, but they cannot use it economically when communicating their intentions.

Compare these phrases that Malaysians and Britons use to say the same thing: So, why make things so confusing and waste of money when you are and a long distance call. Make it snappy.

WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER BAD NEWS
Britons: I'm sorry, Sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.
Malaysians: No Stock.

RETURNING A CALL
Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone page for me a few moments ago?
Malaysians: Hallo, who page?

ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY.
Britons: Excuse me, I'd like to get by. Would you please make way?
Malaysians: S-kews

WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO PAY
Britons: Hey, put your wallet away, this drink is on me.
Malaysians: No-need, lah.

WHEN ASKING FOR PERMISSION
Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?
Malaysians: (while pointing at door) Can or not?

WHEN ENTERTAINING
Britons: Please make yourself right at home.
Malaysians: Don't be shy, lah!

WHEN DOUBTING SOMEONE
Britons: I don't recall you giving me the money.
Malaysians: Where got?

WHEN DECLINING AN OFFER
Britons: I'd prefer not to do that, if you don't mind.
Malaysians: Doe-waaaan!

IN DISAGREEING ON A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
Britons: Err. Tom, I have to stop you there. I understand where you're coming from, but I really have to disagree with what you said about the issue.
Malaysians: You mad, ah?

WHEN ASKING SOMEONE TO LOWER THEIR VOICE.
Britons: Excuse me, but could you please ! lower your voice, I'm trying to concentrate over here.Malaysians: Shaddap lah!

WHEN ASKING SOMEONE IF HE/SHE KNOWS YOU.
Britons: Excuse me, but I noticed you staring at me for some time. Do I know you?
Malaysians: See what, see what?

WHEN ASSESSING A TIGHT SITUATION.
Britons: We seem to be in a bit of a predicament at the moment.
Malaysians: Die-lah!!

WHEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED
Britons: Will someone tell me what has just happened?
Malaysians: Why like that???? (jumping to conclusion)

conclusion...Malaysian aim for efficiency...including the language we spoke..

Ji jie hao (Assembly)集結號

2008-03-13T21:13:00.000-07:00

latest movie direct by feng xio gang who are one of the best director from China. The movie assembly a movie consist of action, war, dramatic and history background. Assembly refers to the call of the bugle to retreat and regroup, and this is the call that Captain Gu Zidi (Zhang Hanyu) and his 47 men of the 9th Company, 3rd Batallion, 139th Regiment, are keenly listening out for, as they go about their mission in ill-equipped fashion, holding fort on a strategic plain. Sent to the frontlines for war-crimes, Captain Gu and his men, while being the best at trench warfare, find themselves severely lacking in essentials - manpower, ammunition and heavy weaponry, as they go up against the marauding forces of the Nationalist army, with their relatively superior armour. However, their mantra is old school - only the bugle will signal their fall behind, and everything else means fulfilling their mission objectives at all costs. After the war Gu Zidi is the only one survive and he spend the rest of his life searching back his 47 men bodies that had been buried under the mine field after many years later and tried to redeem back their honor because they fight until the end and didn't retreat to stop the enemy army forces.

Personally i give 5start out of 5 star for this movie...because it really sad and touching real life story. i watch this movie in the cinema and I nearly cried because the spirit of the Captain and the 47 warriors to defend the country and the determination of a men to accomplish an impossible mission is what we should learn in real life.

The different between web2.0 and web 1.0 is web2.0 doesn't change the core technology of world wide web, the changes is the way of human communicate with each other, example of web 2.0 are friendster, the social networking sites, wiki, blogs and etc. And O'reilly said that

"Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

In brief, Web 2.0 just a new way for human communicate with each through the World wide Web and doing business in the web.

Yahoo, Microsoft and Google

2008-03-06T05:27:00.000-08:00

So, this is the latest hottest news in computer world. Microsoft actually plan to buy yahoo, if this become s fact, this will be the biggest take over on US corporate history. unfortunately, the takeover was not happen according to plan. first the price
Microsoft offer to buy over are too low claim by yahoo. And the director are not ready to sell off his shares to Microsoft yet. As for google, they are concern about the combination of microsoft and yahoo will take over google be the first place in search engine website.

I was thinking what happen if Microsoft really take over yahoo. Their corporate might change to 'yahoo microsoft' or ' hoomail' or maybe ' yahoo its hotmail' . secondly, the next generation of windows will change to something new. maybe we can the advertise power of their combination will beat google, since yahoo are famous with their online
shopping. but either of them will be our concern, because they create, we use, not nice, use google. As simple as that...cheers~

gDocsBar makes Firefox more Google office-friendly

2008-01-30T21:25:00.000-08:00

If you're a Google Docs user you're probably used to keeping a separate window or set of tabs open for your document source list. What if you could kill that extra tab or open window and manage everything from the sidebar of your browser instead?

Interaction designer Sandosh Vasudevan has come up with gDocsBar (download), a solution that rolls up all the functionality you'd find on the home screen of Google Docs and puts it the side bar of your browser, meaning it can be summoned and dismissed in an instant.

The sidebar features a search-as-you-type box to find your docs, drag and drop uploading of files from your desktop or from the Web, and filtering by title, date, and author. You can also go in and browse documents by type to separate documents from spreadsheets and the most recent addition--presentations.

I gave it a quick spin this morning and am definitely keeping it as an add-on, considering it lets me quickly jump between documents while remaining in the same tab, which is a big time saver. Power users can also simply right-click any doc on the source list and open it in a new tab or window. Oddly enough I was only able to get it to load up three of my most recent documents, but the quick uploading and document jumping features are enough to make it useful for me until the kinks are worked out.

Lamborghini Reventón

2008-01-24T18:05:00.000-08:00

Lamborghini revealed its new Reventon supercar at the Frankfurt auto show earlier this year and just last week debuted the Reventon in the U.S. at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on the Murciélago sports car, the Reventon is said to be inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet.

Recent reports indicate the car will cost nearly $1.6 million — significantly above the Murciélago $300,000 MSRP. In fact, anyone who wants the car has been asked to put down a deposit of nearly that amount.

The Reventón delivers 650 horsepower and 487 pound feet of torque. Lamborghini will only build 20 Reventons, with all being spoken for. 11 of the 20 cars will be U.S.-bound.

Speculation about the super Lambo first surfaced on the Ferrari Chat online discussion forums after future owners reported putting deposits on the cars.

The new Zunes offer the ability to sync wirelessly (automatically if connected to a power supply but can be manually started without it), a new touchpad-style input device, additional file support for H.264 and MPEG-4 files, podcast support, upgraded song-sharing licensing, and software that includes support for DRM-free music in the Marketplace. The Zune 80 also has a larger, 3.2” screen. A free firmware update added the new software features to the original Zune (now called the Zune 30) and was released on November 13, 2007.[

It's unusual to find SUVs in today's marketplace that are still engineered for more than ordinary use. The all-new 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser is one of those few remaining that are capable in more than one venue.
The Land Cruiser is designed to transport people and gear over any kind of road or primitive trail, in any kind of weather, with speed, comfort and security. It can tow up to 8500 pounds with the right equipment. It offers integrated comfort and convenience features to rival luxury cars in this price range.

The 2008 Land Cruiser looks pretty much the same as the previous Land Cruiser, but make no mistake: it has been completely re-engineered from the frame up. Refinements include a suite of safety features, state-of-the-art electronics, more power with better mileage, and innovative engineering advancements that permit outstanding performance in contrasting circumstances.

More than just all-weather, the Land Cruiser offers legitimate all-terrain capability. Among the innovations making this possible is a brilliantly designed suspension that enhances performance on irregular terrain, yet does not compromise cornering or braking on paved roads.

The Land Cruiser's high-utility, capability-driven design comes at a price. Building multiple-use potential into a single vehicle requires more expensive materials, extensive developmental testing, and more engineering innovation. That makes the Land Cruiser the vehicle of choice for well-heeled customers who have a cabin in the woods, an adventurous vacation routine, or perhaps a whole lot of highway and dirt road between the family home and a camping trip. For their investment, Land Cruiser owners enjoy an exceptionally secure, comfortable SUV that can make extreme use seem routine.

Then there is the matter of quality. All Land Cruisers are built in small volumes in Japan. Production is shared between the Yoshiwara plant, in Aichi, Japan, (now manufacturing Prius, LX470 and 4Runner) and Toyota's vaunted Tahara plant, which mostly manufactures Lexus vehicles. These are Toyota's flagship manufacturing facilities. Standards at the Tahara plant, in particular, have been described in American newspapers as untouchable, approaching fewer than 10 defects per 1 million parts.

As a result, the Land Cruiser's brick outhouse reputation for durability and long-term value is likely to be continued. It is normal for four-wheel-drive vehicles to require unscheduled repairs due to greater complexity, and exposure to dust, water, and vibration. However, in the case of the Land Cruiser, we would be surprised to encounter many significant problems beyond long-term maintenance.

Because of its iconic exterior design, Land Cruisers never seem to look dated or go out of style. Used Land Cruisers are scarce and command high prices.

The Microsoft Surface based silverlight technology

2008-01-17T07:02:00.000-08:00

What is Microsoft Surface? Microsoft Surface™, the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft Corp., turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that's easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. In essence, it's a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail establishments and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live.
How does Surface work?
At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and the result is displayed on the surface using rear projection.

What is surface computing?
Surface computing is a new way of working with computers that moves beyond the traditional mouse-and-keyboard experience. It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items such as photos, paintbrushes and music their entire life: with their hands, with gestures and by putting real-world objects on the surface. Surface computing opens up a whole new category of products for users to interact with.

What are the key attributes of surface computing?
Surface computing has four key attributes:
• Direct interaction. Users can actually "grab" digital information with their hands and interact with content by touch and gesture, without the use of a mouse or keyboard.
• Multi-touch contact. Surface computing recognizes many points of contact simultaneously, not just from one finger, as with a typical touch screen, but up to dozens and dozens of items at once.
• Multi-user experience. The horizontal form factor makes it easy for several people to gather around surface computers together, providing a collaborative, face-to-face computing experience.
• Object recognition. Users can place physical objects on the surface to trigger different types of digital responses, including the transfer of digital content.
How does Surface benefit consumers?
Surface breaks down the traditional barriers between people and technology, providing effortless interaction with digital content. Similar to the way ATMs changed how people got money from the bank, Microsoft is changing the way people will interact with all kinds of everyday content, including photos, music, a virtual concierge and games. Common, everyday tasks become entertaining, enjoyable and engaging, alone or face-to-face with family, friends or co-workers.

Apple introduces MacBook Air

2008-01-17T06:53:00.000-08:00

During his Macworld Expo keynote address on Tuesday morning, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Air, a computer that the company billed as the world's thinnest notebook -- small enough to fit inside an interoffice mailing envelope. It's priced starting at $1,799 and will be available within two weeks.

Sporting a silvery finish, the MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display that has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. The backlighting saves power and provides "instant on" response from the moment you turn it on, according to Jobs. The device has a slightly wedge-shaped profile. It weighs about 3 pounds, and sports a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches. It's 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep.

The MacBook Air also features a built-in iSight webcam and a full sized MacBook-style black keyboard. The keyboard is backlit, similar to MacBook Pros, and has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. The trackpad is also capable of recognizing multi-touch gestures, similar to using an iPhone or iPod touch. As a result, the MacBook Air's trackpad is disproportionately large, compared to the size of trackpads found on the MacBook or MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Air features a 1.8-inch hard disk drive with 80GB of storage capacity standard. A 64GB solid-state disk (SSD) drive is an option. The hard drive is a Parallel ATA (PATA) model that operates at 4200 RPM.

The laptop is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo chip running at 1.6GHz, with 1.8GHz available as an option. Jobs noted that Intel was willing to engineer a new version of the Core 2 Duo specifically to Apple's specifications -- it's 60 percent smaller than others. The chip operates with 4MB of on-chip shared L2 cache running at full processor speed, and uses an 800MHz frontside bus. 2GB of 667MH DDR2 SDRAM is also included.

Like the MacBook and the MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air features a slimmed down MagSafe connector for power. It comes with a 45 watt power adapter. A flip-down door on one side reveals USB 2.0, Micro-DVI (to connect an external display) and a headphone jack. The MacBook Air also includes 802.11n-based wireless networking support and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.

Apple estimates that with wireless networking turned on, the MacBook Air can get about 5 hours of battery life.

No internal optical drive is included, but Apple will offer a $99 USB 2.0-based add-on SuperDrive for users who need it. For users that opt not to get the optical drive, Apple is offering a new software feature on this machine called Remote Disk; it enables you to "borrow" the optical drive of another Mac or PC on the same network as the MacBook Air, to use for installing software, for example.

Apple's frequently been in the crosshairs of environmental group Greenpeace in recent years. Jobs offered information about the environmental goals behind the MacBook Air -- it has a fully recyclable aluminum case, and is "the first" to have a mercury-free display with arsenic-free glass. All the circuit boards are BFR-free and PVC-free, and the retail packaging uses 56 percent less material than the MacBook packaging.

'Student vison for digital world'

2008-01-15T06:10:00.000-08:00

After watching the two video clip. first thing pop out in my mind is ' o no...here comes the digital world' ...from what i observe in the video clip ...what those youngster trying to tell is they don't want the old style of teaching anymore which is using the paper text and black/white board. Instead of using the old method...why not use the new method which is let them learn by using the technology tool like internet.

Personally, i am quite agree with what the video clip show... because using the paper text method will only let children learn what the teacher teach...mostly what they need to do is memorize and understanding. In fact, what the world need now is creativity! and thats the only thing teacher don't taught in school!

Example why creativity so important in our life is those successful man in this world. The reason why they success is they create something different with other people general knowledge or something they already knew. For example, bill gates create windows, Edison create the light bulb, newton create newton theory....and etc...all this successful people share one common thing which is 'creativity'.

By using technology... student can learn to be creative and the ability to think...So, the old style should be replace by using technology tool method way of teaching to create a generation that can think more creatively.
