Gene Modifying Pill - Straighten or Curly Hair

Gene are inherited from our parents, one copy from mummy and one copy from daddy.
Combination of the genotype will develop different phenotype, which is the appearance or trait that we can see, such as color of eyes, curly or straight hair and etc. So, genes in the genome are the storage of memory of all creature, from the ancestor and slowly evolved until today. It has everything encoded.


Since the discovery of DNA, genetic has been a hot issue and interested by scientist. Human Genome Project conducted almost 13 years and completed in year 2003 has been a huge project to identify the whole picture of every gene in human. Today, another milestone, "curly hair gene" has finally identified.

The groundbreaking research identified the trichohyalin gene as the one that is mainly responsible for creating curls. Although is was already known to play some role in the development of the hair follicle, scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) have now found its role in curliness. Professor Nick Martin, head of the QIMR Genetic Epidemiology Laboratory and author of the research, says it is variation in this gene that determines straightness or curliness of hair.


Following the discovery of this "curly hair gene",  either straight or curly hair baby can be predicted. For criminal investigation, this characteristic gene also can be served as the supporting clue to identify the suspect. Besides, for beauty purpose, straight or curly hair could be possibly alter with just a pill that can simply target and substitute the gene with different variation. Hair straighteners may soon be history, claim scientists who have discovered the "curly hair gene".

Well, hopefully the pill is stable enough, users can enjoy their desire hair style while not causing any genetic disorder trouble.

Does Vampire Really Exists?

What or who are vampires?
Pale white skin, blood smelling breath, and red eyes are the most recognized image of a vampire worldwide.
Vampire myths and legends go back thousands of years and according to speculation by literary historian Brian Frost that the "belief in vampires and bloodsucking demons is as old as man himself,"
The modern concept of a vampire retains many of the original traits from the East European stories. For instance, vampire drink blood, prey on humans, only come out at night, and rising from the dead. Other aspects of the Vampire, such as Goth type clothing, cloaks, turning in to bats or wolf are much newer innovations. Some features of vampire based on the old myths are gone, such as seeds over the vampire in order to keep them counting all night, rather than preying on human blood.

The charismatic and sophisticated vampire of modern fiction was born in 1819 with the publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori. The story was highly successful and arguably the most influential vampire work of the early 19th century. However, it is Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula that is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and which provided the basis of modern vampire fiction.

For more recent, vampire not only sign of horror but can be romantic lover.
Twilight, a series of four vampire-based fantasy romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer.  While screenplay for Twilight was written by Melissa Rosenberg and has been adapted into a film by Summit Entertainment. It charts a period in the life of Isabella Swan, a teenage girl who moves to Forks, Washington and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen. The four series are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Down.
Indeed, in year 1998, there was a drama series about love between vampire/zombie and human, My Date with a Vampire. Since that, vampire and zombie become cute and lovely despite horror and killer image in Asian Chinese as well.

Nevertheless, it is really happened that the body of death can't decay underground. According to Chinese Feng Shui, this will cause disaster or curse to the family and the whole generation. From the scientific point of view, the corpse can't decay even after few years is because that the pH of soil is highly unbalanced and not suitable for organic growth. Therefore it will not breed ants, worms or bacteria. The corpse buried even after a century, the muscles, hair and nails still can be well preserved. Sometimes the body hair, nails also may looks like continue to grow, but actually is because of the body's muscle contraction after death which lead to the hidden part of nail and hair under skin been exposed.

This un-degradable corpse has been reported in local news paper too. Even it happened in family of my friend. Three cousin brothers of my friend's family died at very young age for continuously three years. So, they felt something wrong and seeking help of the Feng Shui Master. Then finally they found out that it was something wrong with her grandfather's mother's graveyard. Her ancient granny had been passed away for over 20 years but when they dig out the coffin its still shinny new and even the red cloth tide on the coffin is still bloody red color, no dirt at all!

The Feng Shui Master told them that the body was still completely preserved, but they dare not open the coffin to see their granny. So, after buried at new place and console the spirit properly, perhaps her ancient granny is resting in peace now.

Will these corpse truly can transit into vampire with conscious mind? hopefully not.

What will happen in 2012

2012 will be the first leap year starting on Sunday (dominical letter AG) of 3rd Millennium in Gregorian calendar.
The leap year starting on Sunday will have three occurrences of Friday the 13th throughout the year which superstition holds to be a day of bad luck..combination of two: thirteen, an unlucky number and Friday, an unlucky day..
Leap year start with Sunday:
Millennium Century Year
2nd Millennium: 18th century: 1764 1792
2nd Millennium: 19th century: 1804 1832 1860 1888
2nd Millennium: 20th century: 1928 1956 1984
3rd Millennium: 21st century: 2012 2040 2068 2096
3rd Millennium: 22nd century: 2108 2136 2164 2192

Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

Besides, another theory by author Charles Panati, that the superstition can be traced back to ancient myth, in which Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil - a gathering of thirteen - and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as "Witches' Sabbath."

What had been happened in the pass, Friday the 13th?
There are events that purposely planned on this special day to create  dramatic effects, higher publicity and attention perhaps. Here are some events that were intentionally scheduled for Friday the 13th:
  • Resident Evil 5 was released in the US and UK on Friday March 13th 2009.
  • Black Sabbath's eponymous debut album was released in the UK on Friday, February 13, 1970.
  • The Opening ceremony of Athens Olympic Games took place on Friday, August 13, 2004.
  • The 13th book in A Series of Unfortunate Events was released on Friday, October 13, 2006 by Lemony Snicket, also known as novelist Daniel Handler.
  • Four of the twelve films in the Friday the 13th series, including the most recent (reboot of a second film), were released on a Friday the 13th. The sequel to the reboot is planned to be released Friday August 13th, 2010.
  • Every Friday the 13th thousands of bikers ride to the small town of Port Dover Ontario, Canada.
  • Boston Lee Day is celebrated every Friday the 13th. Participants gather to enjoy the Boston Lee Drink for which this day is named.
  • The 2009 film "2012" is set to be released on Friday November 13th 2009.
While, natural disaster occur on Friday the 13th, notably:
  • Hurricane Charley made landfall in south Florida on Friday, August 13, 2004.
  • The "Friday the 13th Storm" struck Buffalo, New York on Friday, October 13, 2006.
  • Continental Airlines Flight 3407 crashed into a house in Clarence, New York late Thursday, February 12, 2009, causing a fire that lasted until that Friday morning (February 13) and killed 50 people.
  • Plane crash in the Andes in 1972 which turned the survivors into cannibals.
  • On Friday July 13th, 1733 22 Ships depart Havana Cuba destined for Spain. Encountering a Hurricane shortly after departure the ships return to Havana, only 4 make it back. 12 of the wrecks make of the 1733 Spanish Galleon Trail off the coast of the Florida Keys.
2012 with three Friday the 13th can be the unlucky year perhaps, but could it possibly the end for billions of people and creatures on earth?

Why 2012 says to be the end of the world?

From the calendar says:
The Maya used a 365-day calendar called the Haab. They measured long time periods by means of a Long Count, in which one 360-day year  (a "Tun"), consists of 18 x 20-day "months" ("Uinals"). Twenty of these Tuns is a Katun; 20 Katuns is a Baktun (nearly 400 years); and 13 Baktuns adds up to a "Great Cycle" of 1,872,000 days, 5200 Tuns, or about 5125 years.
Mayan scholars have been attempting to correlate the Long Count with our Western Gregorian calendar, since the beginning of this century. There has been massive variation in the suggested correlations, but as early as 1905, Goodman suggested a correlation only 3 days from the most popular one today. Known as the GMT correlation, which  was finalized in 1950, and puts the start of the Great Cycle (day 0.0.0.0.0)  on 11th August 3114 BC, and the end-date (known as 13.0.0.0.0.) as 21st December 2012.
So, it is end of a cycle and new cycle will begins.

From astrology says:
According to some astronomers, on the winter solstice of 2012, the noonday Sun exactly conjuncts the crossing point of the sun's ecliptic with the galactic plane, while also closely conjuncting the exact the center of the galaxy. Since the Mayan calendar began in 3114 BC, they had never experienced anything like this before. The Mayans called this event the Sacred Tree. This alignment with the center of the galaxy also allows for maximum mass and thus maximum gravity... With this phenomena happens, there will be probably an impact on the stabilization of earth planet. 


Indeed, the National Earthquake Information Service of the US Geological Survey reported that earthquakes have gradually increased from 1 severe quake between 1890 and 1899 to 765 from 2000-2004. Could this be due to our solar systems movement towards this Galactic Equator?

The Russian mathematician Sergey Smelyakov of Khartov University taking the constant Phi (1.6180339), the so called Golden Mean or the Fibonacci sequence, and applying it to solar activity and planetary orbits, found that everything seemed to spiral in on itself on December 21, 2012 implying a time implosion or point of bifurcation.

Besides, there is another prediction about Planet X crushing on Earth. Planet X is a planet that orbits the sun every 3600 years. The first real pictures Planet X were photographed shortly after January 26, 1983, when NASA launched the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). The astronomers calculated that Planet X was over 50 million miles away from us at that time. In 2004 they claimed that this Planet X appeared again, determined to be only 7 million miles away and it's moving closer. Therefore, this Planet X will be here by the end of 2012, appealingly as two suns in the sky, and says to be the doomsday arrive?

From other ancient prediction:
This apocalyptic date of December 21, 2012 is also supposedly found in Hopi myths, the I-Ching, Aztec writings, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Roman Oracles, writing of Seneca Elders, the chief Shaman of the Cherokee Tribe in NC, and even the writings of Nostradamus.

2012 and Institute of Human Continuity

"Part of the 2012 movie experience"

2012 in theater, a lot of people are curious about what will it be on the doomsday?

The land crack apart, the building collapse, houses and factory all destroy by tsunami water...while human, animal and most of the creatures being wipe off by the power of nature. Then, raise up the issue of human continuity. Small group of people, only those with power and money are offered with a place to hide until the disaster has overcome.

Global warming has came to critical, yet, the leaders of human are still negotiating how much carbon to be reduced, just to entertain the public and our future generations it seems. Yes, it would be true, those leader couldn't decide how much pollutants can be reduced now, so just leave it to the nature to clean off everything, then the earth will be back to peace. Perhaps, this small group of human can continue the survival and just build for another civilization.

Institute for Human Continuity (IHC), ensuring the end is just the beginning.

I not sure whether such kind of institute exist in real, and they operate secretly, "monitor the threat of doomsday while develop plan to guarantee survival of human race". Facing if the doomsday do come, some people fight for survival, some would just sit and wait for the end, and also some even don't know that "oh, is it doomsday?"...

As we know the law of nature, tend to remain balance all the time. Pollution has given the bad impact on earth, this is the fact, and hence as the return, disaster kills thousands and millions life. Human race, we need to do something, everyone of us. Recycle, reduce, reuse and also recover are not only slogan but a must to do now. The rubbish out there were produced day by day since the past centuries, just like a big cruise at speeding, suddenly realize an ice berg in another 300meter, some passengers see it, some don't and some don't care about it. But whatever is it your personal opinion, we have to stop and turn around now! No more time wasting for nonsense, hesitation, negotiation...

Earth is our only home, we have no other place to hide.

Virtual, Bypass or Customize Netbook Screen Resolution

Recently, along with the introduction of Intel Atom Processor, the new technology netbook has been populated with its light and handy features. Remember just 5 years ago, the smaller the laptop, the higher the price. But now, a typical Intel Atom Processor Netbook is relatively cheaper than ordinary laptop, and become more favorable for those light and easy user such as blogger, web surfer and travelers.


However, with netbook that is too tiny, you may face problem of screen resolution limitation, and some of the software must be compatible with certain level of resolution. So, I have searching for quite some time and finally I found one helpful software which I would like to say a million thanks to the creator!

Netbook Resolution Customizer Version 1.0 Beta2

This is a freeware designed to allow custom resolution on desktop, laptop, netbook, or any size of monitor screen, as long as it has an Intel Graphic Chipset installed. This resolution customizer allow down-scaling and thus the screen resolution is no longer limited by the size of monitor.

http://www.netbookfiles.com/1/netbook-resolution-customizer-version-10-beta2/

Anyhow, for those considering to buy a netbook now, my personal advice is buy at least with the standard screen resolution size 800x600.

Headmaster Punish Teacher

Teacher punish students, happens every school, every where, for reasons of studies, homework, naughty, etc.. Whilst, headmaster punish teacher, insulted the teachers to stand with their arms raised, for reason to find out who had lodged the complaints against him.

Happened in Seberang Perai, Malaysia.

As usual, the authority said they will investigate properly, may be a few months, few years, or until no one remember. So, reporters have to "risk their life" to find out the story sometimes.

Parties involved in the incident are:
Teacher, Headmaster, Parents (Teacher-Parents Association) and School Board.

Parents complaint that headmaster is out of capability to lead the school. The headmaster is so lazy, not responsible and never keep promise.
Headmaster punish the teachers to find out the one lodged complaints against him.
School Board says the Parents have to pay the responsibility because they have argument with the headmaster, and the headmaster can't well manage his emotion, hence, blowing out his anger towards his teaching staffs.

How true is the story by reporter?
Just wait for the Education Department of Penang Malaysia to find out.

Gossip: the problematic headmaster was previously "suspected" in corruption of school fund and been complaint by the previous school's school board. After that he was transfer to the new school which is now again filed a new record in history of Malaysia Education System, Headmaster Punish Teacher. Not surprising, again the same solution, transferred to another school...
What can we say?
Good luck to the new school.

Automatism

Previously I have more discuss on our mind set, the power of the attraction, and The Secret. Here, another interesting phenomena, activity happen on us that we might not know...

Automatism, in term of medicine, it refers to repetitive unconscious gestures such as lip smacking, chewing, or swallowing in certain types of epilepsy. In further extend, activity perform unconsciously, such as homicide while sleepwalking is also an automatism behavior.

Just few days ago, there was a court case about automatism homicide by a Briton to his beloved wife.
Brian Thomas, who suffers from a sleep disorder, admits killing his wife Christine while they spent a night on a car park in west Wales in July last year. However,the prosecution do not seek a verdict of guilty to murder but a verdict of not guilty because of insanity.

Thomas had been prone to episodes of sleepwalking and other sleeping disorder behaviors for the pass 50 years. Nevertheless, he stopped taking anti-depressants when the incident happened because he believed that those drugs had affected his sexual performance. The couple used to slept in separate rooms at home but enjoy their intimate night while holiday in their camper van.

Unfortunately, Thomas has a nightmare fighting off intruders who trying to disturb them. In his dream, there were a group of "boy racer" performing driving stunts near their camper van parked, and then those bad guys had broken into their van and fight erupted. He grabbed one of the intruder in an arm lock, but turned out that the person he had seized by the throat was his wife.

Sleepwalking and automatism is considered as behavioral disorder, out of control by conscious. Drugs is needed to control or suppress the symptoms. However, can that be looked as a subconscious mind power, strong enough to take over the body action as well as our conscious mind do? So, how good if we can find a way to communicate with our subconscious, for instance making learning process even more effective or do some tasks while sleeping? instead of using drugs to suppress it, we may turn it to be beneficial.

悼词


词一张纸,了结一辈子


2009年11月13日,黑色星期五,我收到了一则短讯告知我,她在下午去世了。
我最敬爱的人离世了。


曾经,她的一双手可以把我呵护在怀里。
曾经,她不在我的视线会令我很不安。
曾经,我稚气的问她为什么人会死?几时会死呢?死后去了哪里?她告诉我,要做好心做善事,死后就会投胎,有好的福报。我希望来世可以做她的儿女,我愿做好心做好事。
曾经,我问她为什么没什么大节日夜戴金饰,她笑说她那把年纪了还不多戴着,收到什么时候呢?死了也带不走呀。我听了偷偷地哭了,我好怕她会死。我偷偷地向神明请求,我愿意把我的寿命让给她几十年,别让她那么快离开。

她的柔和与体贴,总是能让我感到宁静与安心。她不识字,每天早上六七点钟起床,扭开收音机,便开始忙碌家务。陪伴她聊天,看电视,午睡,晾衣服,折衣服,散步,时光就如此淡淡的,暖暖的度过。有时候,我们晚上睡前会聊心。她睡了,我会望着她的轮廓,好好记着,偷偷碰她的手,感觉她的温度与呼吸。她没什么嗜好,唱歌吧或许,黄梅调的摇篮曲,我再也听不到了。她的偶像是林黛,小时,我特意借到了林黛主演的江山美人录影带,我们乐着看了几次,后来卷带坏了,录影机也被光碟机替代了。她那儿总是我度假的家。几天到最久住上一个月,总是很不舍得离开,而她总会说下次放假或得空时再来。

长大了,功课,补习与交友玩乐,我渐渐离开了她的襁褓。她依然过着她规律的生活。
直到,她的病无法再让她自理,无法再行动,无法再表达,除了痛。
她一个人搬家了,住进了老人院,她的生活静止了,偶尔我探望她,我们也无法像过去一样聊天了。回忆就到此而已。

这天,她终于解脱了。平静的离开了我们。


没有太多的眼泪,我其实还是冷静的。
妈咪,我长大了,您不必牵挂,我们来世会再见的。
她是我儿时的保姆,第二个母亲。享年70有三。

Eulogy piece of a paper, an ending of a lifetime

Friday 13, November 2009, I received an SMS message informed me that she had pass away in the afternoon. My most beloved and respected person die.

At one time, pair of her hands could carry me in her arms.
Once, when she was not in my line of sight would make me unsecured.
Once, I asked her why people die? When will we going to die? Where the death gone? She told me always be good intentions and to do good things, then death will be reborn, and will have good rewards. I hope that my afterlife can be her children, and I would do a lot of good jobs for that.
Once, I asked her why she wearing gold jewelry
even not during the festival? she said with a laugh that of her age, soon if she die all those jewelry can't be bringing along too. That moment, I felt so sad and so scared that she will die one day. I sneaked a request to the gods, I am willing to give her my life for several decades, do not let her leave so soon.

Her gentle and caring, always make me feel calm and ease. She does not illiterate, she used to wake up at 6 or 7 o'clock early morning, turn on the radio, and began to busy the housework. Chat with her, watching TV, nap, drying clothes, folding clothes, walking in the evening, time was slipped through in such a warm and loving manner. Sometimes, we would talk at night until fall asleep. When she was asleep, I would looked carefully at her feature to well keep in my mind. I was secretly touched her hand, feeling her warm and breath. She did not has hobby, singing perhaps, I could never heard of her Huangmei's lullaby again. Her idol is Lin Dai, I deliberately borrow Lin Dai starring video and we are pleased with watching it a few times, until the video tape broken, and so as the video recorders been replaced by DVD player.

She was always there, my home of vacation. School holidays a few days to month, I stayed with her like my home, and always unwilling to leave. Then she will always say come again next time leave when free.

Time passing by very fast, grown up, homework, tuition and friends play, I gradually leaving her behind. While, she is still living her regular life. Until her illness could not allow her to take care of her daily tasks, she can no longer moving around, can no longer express herself, but only suffer and pain.
She was moved out alone, moved into old folks home. Her life became static. Occasionally I did visit her a few times, but we can never chat like the past anymore. The memories stopped here.

That day, she finally liberated. Peacefully left us.
Not too much of tears, I was calm indeed.
 

Mummy, I have grew up, I will take care of myself and don't need to worry about me. Wish to see you again in the next life. So long and good bye.
She is my childhood nanny, and the second mother.

2012 - The Movie

Global warming, war, earth quake, tsunami, and other natural disasters are happening around, getting frequent and frequent, and thousands or millions of victims, lost their home, lost their life. We are lucky in Malaysia, still. Watching television and news about all these disasters happening here and there, donation not only for the victims of natural disaster, but illness, welfare, etc... too much of fund raise on news paper until we have used to it.

Doomsday or not, we don't know how long is our life span. But, human, we are too selfish making the earth getting worse and worse, dirty and polluted. 2012 again directed by Roland Emmerich, whose previously filmed "Independent Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow". Compare to the previous two, 2012 doesn't has much surprise to me, is still a good cast presenting us and warn us the end of the world. Nevertheless, I think the movie has too much focus on how the tiny few people escape from the "doomsday" which prolong for just "a few hours".

Simply hiding in the big and tough ships and avoid from the impact, seems ridiculous. 2012 is talking about the instability of the earth planet, not just a matter of one or two comet hitting lol!

I was a little disappointed. Indeed, the idea of how one hero Jackson Curtis (together with his 8 or 10 years old son Noah Curtis), pull out the obstacle stuck at the gear, then save the whole ship of people and the "entire human race", this is really a typical heroism story...

Well, the art work and graphic effect are impressively giving the audience a picture of how the "angry" unstable mother earth would be. We are so tiny and helpless to confront with the giant huge power of nature. Building collapse, land breaking apart, whole city covered by tsunami water, cleansing off the entire human race and all the creatures...

However, it may be too sad if the human species distinct, so the director of the movie, as if the God so kind "open a window" for a few of human representatives to survive. They run, driving recklessly on pieces of broken street, flying up and down...not an easy job huh...like a virtual game, fighting from one stage to another...game over then you can still continue, no worry...

Sadly, the movie still emphasize on the sophisticate technology...hiding in the big ship could easily escape from the disaster?? as if those iron, wire, screw and computer are our only hope and "weapon" to confront with huge natural force.
Not to forget also they use helicopter to fetch a few animals like giraffe and elephant to the big ship, to preserve them from the impact of disaster. So kind of them not to forget other resident of earth. However, this idea was a little boring... why not they preserve the gene or cells on the petri dish or test tube, keep filing in the gene bank? that will be more fantastic isn't it?

After the exciting survivors escape, finally God of mercy will says, "alright, enough of torturing, stop the earth quake, stop the tsunami, stop the volcano...return for them the warm sunshine and peaceful bluish ocean."...

The end...

So, everyone claps their hands...pop corn plastic bags, soft drink cup and straw were left behind...

2012, I would say is commercially a good production, heroism and graphically impressive...fulfill the demand of market...but as a warning to audience about ending of world...care and love our earth now...I may be expecting too much.

Bill Gates -- 11 things did not learn in school

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school.
He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault , so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you don't agree stick your head in the sand and take a deep breath!

Sex Sport

Sex is part of life. We have safety sex practice, health and birth control issues... now a new era, sex sport? This is not a new idea, yet been populated by Trojan Games.




Trojan indeed is a brand of condom first manufactured in 1920 by Young's Rubber later in 1930 only latex-based materials were used. In 2003, in order to launch Trojan in the United Kingdom, a humorous fake official web site for the so-called Trojan Games was created. Of cause, ideally its the sport games that based on sexual performance.

Trojan brand did a successful marketing and branding through their creative and surprising publicity. Their products appears on-shelf 1st of October 2003 in Boots stores and Chemists across the UK. They successfully penetrate the market of their key audience including young men, couples, students and
women. Based on their research, many audiences had specific requirements in the way condom brands communicate with them. A series of Marketing and PR campaigns have been developed to ensure the brand communicates in the most desirable tone and language to attract core consumers.


As of Nov 2006 the various "Trojan Games" videos have been viewed 300 million times. Perhaps, this had indicate that a sex sport games in real could be favorable and encourage the positive sexual perception, as well as the concern of sex education?

Speaker for the Dead -- Forensic Science

We are not living in world of fairy tale.
Criminals convicted everyday, everywhere, I would like to say especially murder case.
The dead body found or even not found, been killed cruelly, insane and disgust, but the murderers are not always get arrest and punish. The real game may involve a lot of political, social, money, dark power, and relation complication, who's daring to stand for the justice?

Some popular case like John F. Kennedy, David Carradine, Princess Dianna, Micheal Jackson, and look closer to our country which we have more recent case of Altantuya and Teoh Beng Hock, how they die? suicide? homicide? or illness? The answer shall only can be told by the evidence and the inevitable justice.

Forensic science is an interesting career choice. They look at evidence at a crime scene, and then use it to put together clues that point to who might have done the deed. While forensic science has been made popular through shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and even Dexter, Gil Grissom and Dexter aren’t the only famous forensic scientists out there.

One of the most popular forensic expert, Dr. Henry Lee, whose skills as an investigator and interpreter of crime scene evidence have made him in demand around the globe. Over the past 40 years, he has assisted in the investigation of more than 6,000 cases, including a murder case without a body.

Nearer to us, Thailand, Pornthip Rojanasunand, also a well known Thai forensic pathologist, author, human rights activist, and cancer survivor. She has repeatedly publicly stated that she has come across evidence of police abuses during her work. Pornthip presently is Director of the Central Institute of Forensic Science, Ministry of Justice, in Bangkok and introduced DNA evidence to Thailand.


Her hair, with bursts of crimson highlights, is a wild mane of gelled artistry. Bangles, bracelets and charms, in sliver and red beads, adorn both arms. Her get up is Gothic, black top with fuschia sleeves, black pants with a wraparound skirt. She has introducing a fresh look of a forensic doctor, is nothing wrong to be trendy too.


Though she is well-known and being respect by millions of people not only from Thai, she is still a very humble person. Well, its so true that she said, she is just doing her part. Simple. If everyone are able to simply do our part right, criminals, disasters and corruptions can be so much reduced!
But sadly, a lot of these cases are remaining unsolved and keep happening every day.

Perhaps the forensic scientists and investigator of our own country are not experience enough to solve those complicating cases like Teoh Beng Hock death, we truly need an expert with no interest conflict with any of the parties, to tell us honestly, whats the story all about? Its enough of fooling..please la..

Those professional forensic doctors may get their hands dirty when examine those bodies, under stress and threaten, but they must do their part right, to point out those real dirty hands and send them to hell. So, as part of the community, we shall stand together for the justice! The whole 1 Malaysia as well as the whole world want to know the truth.

Secret Message by Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger was one of my favorite actor during my childhood. He used to be my hero, noted for his lead role in such films as Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator.




Currently serving as the 38th Governor of the state of California, yet still handsome and admirable.

Though I don't really cares about what happen in California, but Arnold Schwarzenegger made another epic.
In such an ordinary formal letter to the "Members of California State Assembly", a secret message (circled in red), intentionally or not, is eyes striking and exciting people!



In many circumstance of life, its the voice we usually dare not or feel rude to express, yet, it is truly what we thinking about and perhaps beneath for so long...

Now on, "Arnnie's letter" can be a polite substitution.. Impressive creativity huh?!

"Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger"

Coca-cola in Mini

Coca-cola Co. will launch in December a sleek 90-calorie mini can instead of the standard 140, in Washington, D.C., New York City, and a roll-out to the rest of the United States is expected to be underway by March 2010.

Obviously, this smaller packaging has lesser calories and the price will be lower than the ordinary one. How far it will influence into the market?
As they claim, this kind of packaging is designed as part of the efforts to provide more choices and information to health-conscious consumers. But, I wonder does a health conscious consumer really drink coke to maintain or improve their healthy life?

Nevertheless, I do love coke. For me, yes, I will prefer this sleek mini coke once a while when hot weather, having the value meal of McDonald's or other special occasions. The standard size of coke now is a little too much for me, so cool when drinking under the hot sun, but rather uncomfortable when finish the whole can, the stomach is full of gas...then the next you know...urhhh...

Come to health issue, we know that obesity has been affecting younger and younger generation, and one of the factor is the unbalanced diet and junk food. Coke is one of the favorite drinks for youngsters. High sugar and high carbohydrate are the contents, but still people demanding for it.

Is this smaller mini coke a better offer for those calorie concern consumer and as an effort to control the healthy diet of young?
Yes, now you have a choice for smaller portion.
However, this can be a marketing attempt to penetrate larger group of consumers, especially the younger and innocent! Because it is smaller and cheaper, so, the kids with their few pennies pocket money can buy it themselves, without the knowledge of parents. Advertisement, cute and stylist outlook, and word of mouth, drinking soft drink is a lifestyle. So do kids following this kind of culture. Who cares about nutrition, diet, obesity, heart disease and health awareness?


These questions shall leave for those parents and I shall go for a can of coke from fridge now...

Women and sex

Nowadays, more and more women are raising up their needs of satisfactory and enjoyment in sex. However, sexual dysfunction for both male and female is still an issue which is so shame to be arisen and hence become stressful, affecting the living of both partners. Sexual problems affect around 50% of women and become more common as women get older. Most of the women especially Asian dare not voice out their problems because they do not want to disappoint their partner. Even in developed country, a recent study revealed nearly half of all sexually active women in Australia never, or rarely, achieve orgasm during sex, and 63% of women are in fact ‘faking’ orgasms with their partners.



With women in regards to sexual activity, there are an awful lot of women who have never climaxed in their life and also a lot of women who are having great difficulty climaxing either through self-stimulation or through sexual activity with their partner. The reasons for sexual dysfunction can be both physical and psychological factors, including a woman’s relationship with her partner. The common dysfunction including loss of desire, loss of arousal, problems with orgasm and pain during sex.


Loss of desire
Loss of desire, or lack of sex drive, can have a range of physical or psychological causes, including heart disease, diabetes, depression, relationship problems, hormone disorders, excessive alcohol and drug use, tiredness, and previous sexual experience that has been traumatic.

Besides, there are many women in relationships who are distressed by the fact that they feel their relationship is fine, they feel very warmly towards their partner but they have no interest in sex anymore and they get no pleasure from sex anymore.

Sex drive can also fall if a woman’s natural testosterone levels drop; testosterone is produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands, so levels can drop if these are removed or not functioning properly.

Difficult to achieve Orgasm
Some women don’t have to have an orgasm to enjoy sex, but inability to reach orgasm can be a problem for some women and their partners.

These can be divided into two types: primary (when a woman has never had an orgasm) and secondary (when a woman has had an orgasm in the past but cannot now).

Few reasons why a woman difficult to achieve orgasm includes:-
• Lack of knowledge about sex
• Lack of stimulation
• Relationship problems
• Depression


Pain during sexual intercourse
Pain during sexual intercourse is common after the menopause as estrogen levels fall and the vagina feels dry. This can affect a woman’s desire for sex. Sexual pain disorders include dsypareunia, vaginismus and non-coial sexual pain disorders.

Sexual arousal disorders
Sexual arousal disorder is generally defined as the inability to attain or maintain typical responses to sexual arousal.

The symptoms of the disorder include:
• Lack of vaginal lubrication
• Lack of vaginal dilation or lengthening
• Decreased genital tumescence or swelling
• Decreased genital or nipple sensation

In Malaysia, Women with sexual arousal disorder were found to be significantly higher in the groups of: age 45 years old and above; married more than 14 years; having more than 3 children; from lower academic group; having husbands aged 55 years; having less sexual intercourse (less than 1 – 2 times a week); and at post-menopausal state.

If you face the difficulty above, please don't be shy to seek for treatment...
In Australia, Women’s Sexual Health Program has been launched to help women who experience sexual dysfunction issues. A lady who is 53 and she has been married for 23 and hasn’t had an orgasm in 15 years. It is sad because she loves her husband and they were growing apart because of it. After being on the program for nine months she and her husband booked a second honeymoon.
The professional could helps.



Does old age stop the sexual life?

According to a new study carried out by researchers at the University of Chicago in U.S, men and women are having sex well into their 80s. What they found was that over 75% of the men and women who were between the age of 75 and 85 wanted to have sex, and were extremely interested in continuing to have it.

The basic belief in the past was that most men and women had sex when they were young, and as they aged, it would begin to stop. This is apparently not the case though, as it has been found that as long as you are healthy, the drive is still there. The only factors sound to actually cut interest would be medications, obesity, diabetes, etc. Getting old in itself is not a factor that can stop people from thirst of sex.

Secret and Religion

The Secret is currently a famous modern reading all about the Law of Attraction and the order of the universe... the Secret has become a hot topic being practice by many readers and so as received a lot of criticism.
In fact, I don't have any inevitable evidence about the existence of Law of Attraction.
I don't know how it works, what is the mechanism of Law of Attraction...it is placed within scientific fact and naive...we are lack of capability to solve...
If you would to argue with me whether The Secret is really works or it is just a fraud, I would say I don't know...but I believe...
Because of "I believe", hence, every goodwill happened to me, Law of Attraction is given the credit.




Every creature in our world, the trees, forest, building, bridge, animals, human, everything we see, we know and also those that we don't know... are all in the order of universe... Do you ever experience good luck, or bad luck, no taxi, raining, forget the door key, cell phone no battery... all happened in one day, is it simply just  a coincident?
There are a lot of things happened that we can't explain... indeed, human is only a fragile tiny creature... it is not surprising there are so many things out there that our current technology or science couldn't solve...isn't it?
Power is not only what we can see.



So as in term of religion, its the God...
Different religions has different believes about the appearance of God. Some in a puppet, stone, the sun, or even a piece of wood. Nevertheless, there is one similarity, religious believe the power of God which can decide everything. Therefore we pray to the God, ask for mercy, forgiveness, peace, health, wealth and everything we desired.



It is all about your thought

Homosexual Ambassador

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Wednesday he planned to nominate an openly gay lawyer as the U.S. ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa. If confirmed by the Senate, David Huebner would become the third openly gay ambassador in U.S. history and the first pick by this administration. In a statement released from the White House, Obama said he looked forward to working with Huebner and is confident he will represent the United States well in the Pacific region.
Huebner is based in Shanghai, where he handles international arbitration and mediation cases for a U.S. firm. A graduate of Princeton University and Yale Law School, he is also the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's general counsel and previously served on the group's board.
He also has chaired the California Law Revision Commission, served as president of the Los Angeles Quality and Productivity Commission and taught at the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law.
Obama's announcement is a gesture just days before he speaks to a gay rights fundraising dinner on Saturday and gay activists march on Washington on Sunday.
Obama's relationship with gay activists has been rocky since his election. Gays and lesbians objected to the invitation of evangelist Rev. Rick Warren's to participate in Obama's inauguration because of Warren's support for repealing gay marriage in California. Obama responded by having Episcopalian Bishop V. Gene Robinson, the denomination's first openly gay bishop, participate at another event.
As president, Obama hasn't taken any concrete steps urging Congress to rescind the Clinton-era "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allows gays and lesbians to serve in the military as long as they don't disclose their sexual orientation or act on it. Some former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have acknowledged the policy is flawed.
The office of the current chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, signed off on a journal article that called for lifting the ban, arguing that the military is forcing thousands of military members to live dishonest lives.
Obama also pledged during the campaign to work for repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, which limits how state, local and federal bodies can recognize partnerships and determine benefits. But lawyers in his administration defended the law in a court brief. White House aides said they were only doing their jobs to back a law that was already on the books.
Officials said Obama's slow and incremental approach to the politically charged issues has produced some gains.
"The president made commitments on those issues — not just, quite frankly, in a presidential race but ran on some of those commitments in a Senate race," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. "They are commitments that are important to him and he is intent on making progress on those issues and is working with the Pentagon to ensure, at least in 'don't ask, don't tell,' that we make progress on it."
Obama has expanded some federal benefits to same-sex partners, but not health benefits or pension guarantees. He has allowed State Department employees to include their same-sex partners in certain embassy programs available to opposite-sex spouses.
On Wednesday, Gibbs said the administration was working with the Office of Personnel Management to expand those benefits.
But that remains far short of his campaign rhetoric.
"At its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans," Obama said a 2007 statement on gay issues. "It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect."

Sex Harmony

Sex, especially for Asian is a secretive word..very shy to be request or discuss. However, we can't deny sexuality is an integral part of being human. Love, affection, and sexual intimacy contribute to healthy relationships and individual well-being.

Therefore, sexuality health and satisfaction is so important for both physical and spiritual fitness. Just like healthy balance diet, human, either you are man, women, young or old, we all are equally deserved the rights to enjoy sex. Therefore, a healthy sexuality practice or sexual education should be a must to gain a positive perception of healthy sex life as well as to hinder sexual abuse.

But along with the positive aspects of our human sexuality, there also are illnesses that can affect our sexual health. In addition, irresponsible sexual behaviors can result in undesirable consequences, including unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

Sex is not just about kung fu on bed, but also social, physical and psychological needs. It shall be fun for both partners. Therefore, before we proceed to the enjoyment, we shall always remember and aware of the safety and responsible of healthy sex practice to avoid unwanted suffers.

Runner

Graduated for almost 2 years. Most of my school mates are now part of the society's economic contributor, working from 8 to 5, (and may be overtime). Earn their first car, first house, first Rm100k, and not surprisingly, some are planning or even had get marry..build their own family, with kids and maid.. eventually wait for retirement..

This is so called "life"...


During the schooling age, examination result is the parameter for a person success..
During the working age, your income is the the indicator of your success..
During the retirement, wealth accumulated and your children's success, are your success..

This is the model lifestyle the society has built and instilled... everyone should follow this direction... and so forming the "machine life".. Even some of us may realized and that we hate it but still we are doing it.. and worst is that we ask our next generation to follow the very same path we went through as well.. Career makes people feel secured, proud and confident... we can't be jobless or can't even take the risk of jobless... money and material are such big and important issue in life... so many bills are waiting there...

Therefore, there are 5% in our population have seen the needs of the 95%... the boss will provide you the secured income, and you have to work 100 times harder than your salary has said.. 1 part for yourself and 99 parts are for your boss.. Boss will praise you "good job", "well done", and give you some benefits once in awhile... then you will feel so proud of yourself and give all your loyalty to those bosses... day by day... year by year... until you get old and no longer capable as you were younger... you need spectacles, your response is slow, you hardly catch up with new technology... and then suddenly you realize that your secured income is no longer secured...

This is so called "life"...

Most people have never realized that one day they will get old and die... its always too late when they realized.. Therefore, when you keep running like a machine, never aware of your machine's lifespan and maintenance, then you will be in big trouble when the time comes..and do remember that the rule of the life game is that it will never takes two..

Let me tell you a different version of story of race between tortoise and rabbit.
Running faster ahead doesn't guarantee the win until you reach the goal... When all the audiences are assuming that the rabbit is definitely the winner... they praise and admire the rabbit... the rabbit become very proud of itself and run very fast initially... but when the crowd is not there anymore at half way of the race track, the rabbit started to become lazy, bored and then it fall asleep... So, until the rabbit wake up, only it realizes that the race has already over...Where are the audience? they are now praising the tortoise and nobody remember how fast the rabbit was running at first...


The audiences are the boss. You are recognized when you are young and capable... but when it comes to the middle-age, the young generation which come later may over take you.. and you are still telling the same old story of how capable or brilliant once you were... In fact, most employers have already forgotten about your contributions in the pass... they are only concerned about the future and growth... then eventually you will be either retrenched or luckily retired...

If you are given a choice now, would you still want to be a short runner or a long runner?
Or just watch the race? Get yourself out of the race track.

Selfish

People are selfish.
In most of the time, we care only our self..we are focusing too much on what we want..what we need..what we feel..

Example1
"I want to buy this dress."
"I looks pretty wearing this shirt."
"I scored a good result, so I feel very happy!"
"I like to travel."

"I" is always capital..

Example 2
Look at a group photo taken with friends.
The first one we looking is always our self.

True?




Pardon me.
When you read down to the line above, are you thinking that I am criticizing?



If so, then I shall clarify here, NO.
I DO NOT SAY "SELFISH" IS NO GOOD.
I DO NOT SAY "CARE ONLY OUR OWN SELF" IS NO GOOD.

Its YOU, your perception is telling you "selfish", "care only our own self" is BAD!!
At the same time, you are struggling "oh yes, I am doing that way too".. so when people says "selfish", your perception tells you, "BAD", as a result, you blame on people whose you think they are criticize on you!

Here, twist your head.

I am actually praising "SELFISH"..
Well, it may be a good character..

For instance:
I am selfish. I do not help my brother to wash his dishes. Therefore, he has to learn how to wash his own dishes.
My mum is generous. She always help him wash his dishes. Therefore he never wash the dishes after used. My mum is yelling but still wash them up.

Generosity making people relies on you?
May be.
Probably.
Not always.

Again, I do not say that generosity is no good.

Now, have you seen??
Good or no good is just the very subjective judgment that your perception tells you.
Nothing is good or no good..
Just shit here.



Disclaimer:
This is my piggy head opinion and perception.
Does not mean to offense anybody or anything.

Fate

I do believe in fate as the secret law of attraction had been deep influencing my mind set so far.

Everyone is unique.

People tend to stay in group, usually attracting people with similarity but people with opposition character too indulged in relationship which is in very different kind.

Like or dislike, we attract somebody. We creating the experience that our mind set actually "desired", whether it is happy or unhappy. We generate the signal, and the universal do arrange according to the signal we had generated.

Most of us do know what we want, simply, I want to be rich, I want to be healthy, I want luxury car, house, etc. Yet, most of us doubt, am I able to get them? am I capable? and we might think or assume when get the things then somethings got to be scarified?
These perception and doubt create the vibration to universal and thus your doubt come true!

People around us, whether you like or dislike them, are here because you attracted them. Your family, your friends or even your enemy. The more you thinking of them, the more their appear to you! So, what's in your mind now? your loves one or your enemy?

Be a lovely person then you can attract lovely people towards you!
Create the fate!
