WOMEN AND MEN
Believe it or not.
Woman has Man in it;
Mrs. has Mr . in it;
Female has Male in it;
She has He in it;
Madam has Adam in it;
No wonder men always want to be inside women!
Men were born between the legs of a woman, yet men spend all their life and time trying to go back between the legs of a woman....
Why?
BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now...
I never looked at it this way before:
Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN?
MENtal illness
MENstrual cramps
MENtal breakdown
MENopause

AND ..
When we have REAL trouble, it's a
HISterectomy.

Islam has become a household word in the west today, yet not much is known about the beliefs of this great monotheistic world religion. In fact, it is the most misunderstood and often slandered religion in the world today. Unfortunately, the ones who bear the most responsibility for this sad state are the Muslims themselves, or at least people claiming to do things in the name of Islam which may or may not be "Islamic." Let's all do our part to speak up for Islam and not let these few people with their own political agendas continue to spread a false image of Muslims and Islam.
I think that the most compelling evidence for the truth of what Islam teaches is not going to be what this or that scholar says, but what the Qur'an and Hadith say regarding terrorism and war. The Qur'an is the primary source for Islam, it is the literal word of God as revealed to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and has never had a single letter of the original Arabic script changed. The Hadith are the words of the prophet (PBUH) who is a human being. His words are inspired by God but the choices of words are his own. The hadith are the secondary source for Islam.
So, let's look at the definition of terrorism: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. I think it's important to note that terrorism is a heinous crime that has permeated our societies since the beginning of time. It is in no way an Islamic phenomenon although it is portrayed as such by the media today.
The people and property that terrorists target are almost always civilian. What does Islam say in regards to attacking civilians and their property? First, let's look at a beautiful verse from the Qur'an, [Qur'an 5:32] "...anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. ..." Definitely the civilians who are randomly targeted by terrorists are killed unjustly according to the Qur'an itself. And, as for these terrorists who target innocent civilians, it's as if they are killing all of humanity, and they will have to answer to God for that on the Day of Judgment.
The Qur'an teaches that life is sacred; it states this in many passages in both direct and indirect ways. Life is a gift from God that only He can give and take. I will only quote one such verse due to the limitations of this short article. [Qur'an 6:151] "....You shall not kill - God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand."
In fact, we find that the Qur'an is quite explicit that we should be peaceful with those who are peaceful with us. [Quran 8:61] "If they resort to peace, so shall you, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient." And again, [Qur'an 4:90] ".... Therefore, if they leave you alone, refrain from fighting you, and offer you peace, then God gives you no excuse to fight them." So, we can plainly see from these texts that it is not permissible for an individual to unilaterally decide to attack innocent civilians who pose no threat to themselves, their families or their property.
Islam is a comprehensive religion that covers all aspects of human life, including war. However, there are very strict rules of warfare and distinct lines drawn between combatants and civilians. The prophet (PBUH) is recorded as saying, "Do not kill any old person, any child or any woman" (Abu Dawud). "Do not kill the monks in monasteries" or "Do not kill the people who are sitting in places of worship" (Musnad of Ibn Hanbal). Furthermore, the first caliph Abu Bakr was the prophet's closest friend and staunchest supporter. He gave the following advice to the leader of an army unit that was heading to Syria, and his advice was based on his knowledge of what the prophet (PBUH) taught: "Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone."
Not only are Muslims clearly instructed not to harm any innocent individuals, we are also clearly instructed not to harm the infrastructure and economy of any land. Clearly this is in stark contrast to the acts of the terrorists who purposely target the civilians and the economics of a country.
The last point that I would like to make is that Islam is clearly against suicide and hence suicide bombing. There are some Muslim scholars who use the example of battles where the army vowed to fight to their death as evidence that suicide bombings are allowed. However, that is a highly debatable point and I personally feel that we should look to the Qur'an for the answer rather than individual's decrees. So, let's see what the Qur'an has to say about suicide. [Qur'an 4:29-31] O you who believe! Do not eat up your wealth in vanities among yourselves. But let there be among yourselves trade conducted in mutual good will. Nor kill or destroy yourselves, for God has been most merciful to you. If any do that in rancor and injustice, soon shall we cast them into the fire, and that is easy for God. If you but avoid the most heinous of the things which are forbidden to do, we shall expel out of you all the evil in you and admit you to a gate of great honor.
So, when we look at the Qur'an and Hadith we see that terrorism is clearly forbidden in Islam. People who hijack airplanes and crash them into buildings are not martyrs in Islam, they are people who are hijacking our religion and killing many innocent people. That is not the way of Islam; Islam is fair and protects the lives and properties of innocent people. Just because somebody does something in the name of Islam doesn't mean that the person is a Muslim or the act is Islamic. Please read the Qur'an so that you can find the truth for yourself.

A fascinating question. What if...? Here is a quick summary of situations that would be different
- Congress would never have voted for the Patriot Act
- America would have had no justification to go to war in Iraq, not that there was one but it would have been much more difficult to fake it and we would not have lost 15,000 soldiers (the genuine death count) nor would 1 million Iraqis have died needlessly and the streets of Bahdad would not be contaminated by depleted uranium and we could have funded schools, healthcare, other positive and needful programs instead of the war in Iraq
- US forces would not have had to fight in the mountains of Afghanistan
- There would have been no Military Tribunals Act of 2006 which stripped away habeas corpus 5. There would be no justification for illegal wiretapping
- There would be no detention centers at Gitmo
- There would have been no Extraordinary Rendition, waterboarding or torture
- We would never have seen those corny color coded terror alerts
- Oil would not be over $100 per barrel and rising!
- We might not be facing a possible recession or worse in American and global markets.
- FILL IN BLANK
The point is that if Al Qaeda didn't exist the world would be tremondously safer and saner. Folks, I just found out that there is no Al Qaeda! Al Qaeda in the form of an organization never existed in any form anywhere. The term Al Qaeda was used by Bin Laden ONLY after he was informed that the US was using that term. Look, here is a test to see if something exists or not you cannot go on Craigslist and find an ad and become a member of Al Qaeda. It simply never existed. I am way off my usual topic of writing here, folks. I am supposed to be writing articles about the incredible Water4Gas technology but I just came across this BBC report by email . And you can watch it the same as I did and come to your own conclusion. We need more people who can think for themselves and are able to step out of the matrix. You can watch that video The Power of Nighmares HERE
This is not to say that there have not been acts of terrorism in the world and that there are not terrorists. But they are not organized anything like we have been led to believe and there is no Al Qaeda. I saw this Power of Nightmares documentary and I had a need and a duty to let people know that this information exists so you can view it for yourself and decide for yourself. Similarly I have a need and a duty to make you aware that Water4Gas technology exists and that you can lower your gasoline usage (regardless of what a barrel of oil is going for), get less toxic emissions and thereby, help the environment, and get your automobile. With knowledge comes responsibility. My opinions about Al Qaeda, etc, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Water4Gas people. And the things I have stated here are, again, based on what you can view just the same as I did. And that is The Power of Nighmares HERE
The use of key performance indicators, often abbreviated as KPI's, is quickly becoming a standard management tool. These key performance indicators, as their name implies, are measurable parameters that can help managers evaluate various aspects of an organization's performance. The use of KPI's - which are more or less objective ways of measuring performance - helps to quantify and systematize the management approach, in effect taking inspiration from the scientific method. The bottom line is encapsulated in a fairly recent saying: "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it."
The concept of KPI's is applied to a lot of different managerial aspects, from the business and financial realm to human resources and training. Profits, sales, and other money figures figure prominently as key performance indicators in the former, while a different set of parameters are used for the latter.
Training and human resource management, in the past, were overshadowed by the financial considerations. This was due to, of course, the prevailing mindset and values among managers at the time: profits are everything. This mentality was reflected in the management methods and tools that were used in the past, which basically neglected to quantify the effects and results of human resource development.
However in recent times the value of investing in human capital has been more and more appreciated. This can be traced, perhaps, to a major change in the dynamics of the marketplace. With the advent of the Internet and globalization, change - and even system-wide change - has become an essential factor. To deal with this, businesses and organizations have to be able to react in an appropriate and timely manner. Hence the emerging need for smart, well-trained employees who are capable of the shifts and changes these reactions would consist of.
Now, the type and duration of training would of course differ from case to case, depending on the jobs a particular group of employees are expected to be responsible for. And over and above their specific duties, usually the organization's own goals and objectives have some part to play in determining the type of training. This means that in most cases the selection of useful key performance indicators depends heavily on the particular context. However, some categories and examples of training KPI's may still be enumerated.
In terms of results, one might measure returns on investment, as well as new behaviors arising from the training. In terms of customer relations, one might look at satisfaction levels. In terms of the training process itself, one might choose to look at learner reactions and training objectives delivered. And finally in terms of people, one could look at the percent completion of personal development objectives, or the skills matrix for learning and development staff.
These are just examples of training key performance indicators, and as mentioned above, the proper selection would require a closer look at each particular case. These training KPI's, if selected properly, can help any manager get a firm grasp of how the training is progressing, and whether any changes need to be made. Good management of the training program, in turn, will lead to better, more capable, more dynamic human resources.
Why do we like to watch sport competitions? Even people who never engage in physical activity often find themselves in front of the TV, watching football and tennis, basketball and rugby. Sports fans around the world watch with excitement their favorite team play, and never miss a single competition. This Sports articles presents several reasons, trying to solve the mystery involved in this known phenomena of love for sports.
One of the main reasons people like to watch competitions is because they tend to identify themselves with the winners. When they watch the precise moves of Rafael Nadal or Maria Sharapova, see the winning game of Champions League, they feel as if they themselves perform the brilliant move, and brought a victory to their team. Winners get attention from the media and the public, they are interviewed, they appear on TV – the public enjoys watching the known faces and see the winning formula. A fan, who may have never played football in his life, likes to see UEFA Cup, because he can identify himself with the top professionals.
Another reason is the unpredictability of sports games. You can never know how the game will end, which forces you to sit tightly and wait for the crucial moment, which designate all the twists and turns of the game. The course of sports game is always unpredictable: although you can make bets and try to guess the today’s winner, but it is never certain, which makes the game interesting to watch.
Different, but also important reason for watching sports has to do with our national identity. When British watch Liverpool and Chelsea groups, they tend to identify themselves with the players and see all the failures and winnings as if they were their own. Sports games are nowadays considered to be one of the most important factors which help to raise the persons’ national identity.
There are several reasons which may answer the question “why do we like sports”. Perhaps we never tend to think about these reasons while watching tennis or soccer. But they are nevertheless worthy to think about.

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has quit Umno saying he has totally lost confidence in its leadership. He made the unexpected announcement in front of about 1,500 people at a forum in response to a dare from one of the participants to lead the way in leaving the party. Asking other Umno members to follow in his footsteps, Dr Mahathir, 83, said they should not join any other political parties but should rejoin Umno once Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has resigned as party president and prime minister.
"The Malays, Umno members and many other people have sent him messages about their dissatisfaction over his leadership, especially after the March 8 elections, but Abdullah has remained unaffected.
"We have to be radical and brave and this is the only way to bring him down," he said to loud cheers at a talk on "The Future of Malays after the 12th General Election", organised by the Kedah Malay Assembly Hall.
Among those present were assembly chairman Tan Sri Khalid Abdullah, Jerlun Umno division chief Datuk Abdul Rahman Ariffin, Kuala Nerang state assemblyman Datuk Syed Sobri Syed Syed Hashim, Sungai Tiang state assemblyman Suraya Yaacob and former Kedah menteri besar Tan Sri Sanusi Junid.
Dr Mahathir, an Umno life member, announced his decision after someone asked if he would take the lead since he had made the suggestion during his hour-long talk earlier.
A member from the floor, who had identified himself as Ismail Jaziz, had asked Dr Mahathir if he would take the lead since he had mooted the idea about members resigning.
To this, Dr Mahathir, in a serious tone, said: "Waa, saya di cabar ni...(I have been dared). Yes, I will leave Umno...until the party leadership is determined. Other Umno members should follow me."
Later, at a press conference, Dr Mahathir said he would write to Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor over his decision soon.
Asked if many Umno members would take up his challenge, he said it was up to them to prioritise Abdullah or the party's struggles.
"It is up to them to follow or not, but if they think they should continue supporting Pak Lah and give priority to Datuk Abdullah (Ahmad) Badawi over the party's struggles, it is their right."
He said it was high time for Umno members who loved the party to be bold for the future of the Malays. Such a move would not cause the Malays to lose their political power.
"The Malays would not lose their political power. They want to correct things not because they simply want to leave.
"If they are brave and want to safeguard the party and the Malay struggles, then they must also be brave to take action.
"However, we find that many Umno members can't even attend certain gatherings... division chairmen also cannot attend... what is this?"
Dr Mahathir said when Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah opposed him before, former prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman had thrown in his support for his opponent and that he never stopped any member from campaigning against him.
"Now, we cannot say anything against the prime minister or the party president. This is not Umno," he said.
Asked if Umno state assemblymen and MPs should also quit the party, he said they should if they truly loved the party.
Dr Mahathir reiterated he would only rejoin Umno after Abdullah had resigned his posts.
Asked if his call and decision could be construed as him giving up on the party, he said he would not ask others to follow him if he himself was afraid to do so.
Earlier, Dr Mahathir said quitting the party would not weaken Umno because he himself was expelled from the party for three years from 1969.
"Umno remained strong and it continued to get support from members who were honest in fighting for the race, religion and country then."
He said he was compelled to issue a strong message to the Umno leadership to start listening to members' needs and not heed only suggestions and advice from a small group of powerful people.
He said Abdullah was not suitable to lead the nation because he was too soft and would give in to Singapore, the United States, Hindraf and the Bar Council.
He said Abdullah had consistently refused to accept the fact that under his leadership, Umno and Barisan Nasional were on the verge of collapse after they lost five states, including the Federal Territory, and failed to recapture Kelantan.
"He is responsible for destroying BN component parties like the MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP when they lost miserably in the last elections.
"As a result, the Chinese and Indian communities, which had been ardent supporters of BN, no longer have confidence in the ruling coalition."
Dr Mahathir said the people of Kedah should also do something for being treated unfairly by Abdullah since they did not have any representative in the cabinet.
"We lost Perak, Penang, Selangor and Kelantan but they have representatives in the cabinet, but why is there no one from Kedah?"
Asked if his decision had anything to do with the V.K. Lingam video clip controversy, Dr Mahathir denied it.
"Nope. That is a court matter and I will go to the courts.
"If they make allegations against me, I could also do the same and if I am found guilty, they can put me in jail but if I am not guilty, please don't arrest me ."

TANGGAL 15 Mei 1948 merupakan tarikh yang amat penting untuk disingkap oleh semua umat Islam di seluruh dunia. Tarikh penting tersebut adalah detik hitam bagi penduduk asal bumi Palestin, orang Arab dan dunia Islam secara keseluruhan- nya.
Pada tarikh tersebut, penubuhan negara haram Israel di atas bumi Palestin telah di- isytiharkan secara rasminya. Peristiwa tersebut turut dikenali sebagai 'nakba'.
Nakba bermaksud malapetaka atau ben- cana besar. Dalam peristiwa nakbah, Yahudi Zionis telah bertindak kejam dengan mengusir lebih daripada 60 peratus rakyat Palestin (lebih kurang 800,000 orang daripada sejumlah 1.39 juta rakyat) ke luar ne- gara, manakala 30,000 yang lain telah di- usir ke daerah-daerah yang ditakluki mereka.
Daripada 580 perkampungan rakyat Palestin yang wujud sebelum perang 1948, rejim Zionis telah menghancurkan 478 daripadanya serta terlibat dalam lebih 34 je- nayah pembunuhan beramai-ramai rakyat Palestin.
Rejim Zionis telah bertindak di luar batas kemanusiaan. Nyawa penduduk Palestin bagaikan tiada nilai di mata mereka. Pelbagai peristiwa pembunuhan beramai-ramai telah berlaku sepanjang peristiwa Nakbah. Antara peristiwa yang paling tragis ialah tragedi Deir Yassin pada 9 April 1948 yang melibatkan pembunuhan seramai 254 orang termasuk orang tua, wanita dan 52 orang kanak-kanak.
Petugas Palang Merah dan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) sendiri menyaksikan bagaimana rumah-rumah rakyat Palestin dibakar dan orang yang cuba menyelamatkan diri ditembak.
Sejarah kejatuhan bumi Palestin ke tangan Yahudi bermula apabila Britain melalui Setiausaha Negara Hal Ehwal Luarnya, Arthur Balfour, telah mengeluarkan satu kenyataan bertarikh 2 November 1917 yang menjanjikan masyarakat Yahudi satu tanah airnya di Palestin. Pengisytiharan itu telah digelar sebagai Ominous Declaration (Pengisytiharan Celaka).
Isu Palestin menjadi isu antarabangsa apabila kerajaan Britain pada 2 April 1947 mendesak supaya isu Yahudi dan Palestin dimasukkan sebagai agenda PBB. Tidak lama selepas itu, sebuah jawatankuasa antarabangsa telah ditubuhkan untuk mengkaji dan membuat laporan mengenai isu Palestin.
Cadangan dasar jawatankuasa ini adalah pembahagian wilayah Palestin yang tidak adil iaitu kepada negara Arab dan negara Yahudi yang merdeka, dan Jerusalem (Baitulmaqdis) diletakkan di bawah tanggung- jawab antarabangsa. Jelas sekali bahawa PBB sendiri bersubahat dalam proses pendudukan haram Yahudi di Palestin dan menjadi boneka kepada Yahudi.
Penderitaan yang dialami oleh penduduk Palestin hingga kini masih belum berakhir. Rakyat Palestin telah mencuba pelbagai cara untuk membebaskan bumi Palestin dan mendapatkan kembali hak-hak mereka yang telah dirampas di tanah suci tersebut. Antaranya ialah melalui perjanjian damai, persidangan, perundingan, dengan mengikut pelan damai yang dianjurkan oleh PBB dan sebagainya. Bagaimanapun, semua cara itu menemui kegagalan dan rakyat Palestin memilih jalan lain untuk merungkai permasalahan mereka iaitu dengan kebangkitan, penentangan dan perjuangan jihad.
Dalam usaha untuk membebaskan negara sendiri daripada cengkaman penjajah, penduduk Palestin telah dilabel sebagai pengganas oleh Israel dan sekutunya. Mereka cuba untuk mengaburi mata masyarakat dunia melalui media massa yang sering memperlihatkan dan menonjolkan penduduk Palestin sebagai pengganas.
PengganasYahudi mendakwa bahawa mereka menjadi mangsa kekejaman penduduk Palestin sedangkan pengganas sebenar adalah mereka sendiri. Yahudi turut mendakwa bahawa mereka adalah penduduk asal di bumi Palestin semenjak zaman nabi Musa a.s lagi.
Namun hakikatnya, kedatangan mereka ke Palestin adalah sebagai imigran pada ke- tika itu. Dan kini mereka bertapak di bumi Palestin melalui kolonialisasi.
Dakwaan bangsa Yahudi bahawa faktor sejarah menjadikan mereka lebih berhak ke atas Palestin tidak berasas. Mereka hanya sempat memerintah sebahagian kecil kawasan di bumi Palestin untuk tempoh empat tahun sahaja sedangkan pemerintahan Islam berlanjutan selama 12 kurun (636M - 1917M).
Bangsa Yahudi juga suatu ketika dahulu ramai yang telah meninggalkan Palestin dan hubungan mereka dengannya terputus untuk hampir 18 kurun lamanya (135M - kurun ke-20).
Manakala penduduk asal Palestin pula tidak pernah meninggalkan bumi Palestin untuk selama 4500 tahun hinggalah kepada pengusiran secara paksa oleh kumpulan pengganas Yahudi pada tahun 1948. Namun mereka tidak pernah menyerah kalah malah terus berusaha untuk menegakkan kembali hak mereka ke atas bumi Palestin.
Sesungguhnya tragedi yang menimpa penduduk Palestin merupakan isu yang melibatkan seluruh umat Islam di dunia. Kepentingan Palestin bagi umat Islam amat jelas berdasarkan al-Quran dan hadis. Ia adalah bumi suci di mana ramai para rasul Alaihissalam dilahirkan dan wafat di sana. Ia adalah medan perjuangan mereka untuk menegakkan kalimah tauhid. Bumi Palestin juga telah dimuliakan oleh Allah SWT dengan kewujudan Masjid al-Aqsa. Masjid ini di samping kiblat pertama umat Islam, juga antara masjid yang dimuliakan Allah SWT dan tanah suci ketiga setelah Mekah dan Madinah.
Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Diutamakan (digandakan) solat di MasjidilHaram atas yang lain dengan seratus ribu solat, dan di masjidku dengan seribu solat dan di Masjid Baitulmaqdis dengan lima ratus solat." (Riwayat at-Tabrani - martabat Hassan)
Selain itu, Baitulmaqdis merupakan kiblat umat Islam. Umat Islam bersolat berkiblatkan Baitulmaqdis sepanjang kehidupan Rasulullah SAW di Mekah sebelum hijrah dan juga selama 16 bulan pertama Rasulullah SAW di Madinah. Selepas itu Allah SWT mengarahkan agar kiblat bertukar arah ke Kaabah di Mekah. Baitulmaqdis juga merupakan tempat berlakunya Israk dan Mik- raj. Firman Allah SWT:
"Maha Suci Allah yang telah menjalankan hambanya (Muhammad pada malam hari dari Masjidilharam ke Masjidilaqsa yang kami berkati sekelilingnya untuk memperlihatkan kepadanya tanda-tanda kebesaran kami." (al-Isra':1)
Terdapat juga beberapa ayat lain di dalam al-Quran dan beberapa hadis Rasulullah SAW yang menggambarkan keistimewaan Baitulmaqdis di dalam Islam yang menunjukkan bahawa Allah SWT memuliakan tanah-tanah di sekelilingnya. Ia juga menyebabkan para sahabat Rasulullah SAW sangat menyayangi bumi Palestin ini. Malah ketika Umar al-Khattab r.a menjejakkan kakinya ke kawasan ini buat pertama kalinya, beliau telah mengumumkan bahawa seluruh bumi Palestin itu adalah wakaf kepada generasi umat Islam akan datang.
Realitinya, umat Islam pernah menguasai Baitulmaqdis selama 12 kurun dan memelihara kesucian kota ini, selepas ia dicemari tangan-tangan kufur berkurun lamanya. Kini, Baitulmaqdis kembali ke tangan kufur, maka siapakah yang akan mengembalikannya ke tangan umat Islam?
Sesungguhnya Palestin bukanlah milik orang-orang Palestin sahaja, Baitulmaqdis bukanlah tempat suci mereka sahaja dan Masjidilaqsa bukanlah milik mereka sahaja tetapi milik kaum Muslimin dari Timur sampai ke Barat.
Ia juga milik umat Islam generasi kini dan akan datang hingga hari kiamat. Oleh yang demikian, perjuangan untuk membebaskannya daripada tangan-tangan kufur adalah perjuangan kita bersama.
Seorang wanita tua pergi ke klinik untuk membuat pemeriksaan. Doktor bertanyakan kepada wanita tersebut apa masalahnya.
Wanita tua menjawab dia menghadapi masalah kentut yang tidak berbunyi dan tidak berbau, sedangkan dia telah kentut sehingga sepuluh kali banyaknya ketika berada di pejabat. Memandangkan kentutnya tidak berbunyi dan berbau dia langsung tidak menyedari ianya berlaku. Doktor mendengar dengan teliti dan memberi wanita tua tersebut senarai beberapa jenis pil yang perlu di ambil. Doktor mengarahkan wanita tua itu mengambil pil-pil tersebut selama seminggu dan selepas itu datang berjumpa dengannya semula.
Selepas seminggu wanita tua itu datang semula ke klinik untuk menyatakan rasa tidak puas hatinya kepada doktor.
"Saya tak tau apa yang doktor berikan kepada saya, tapi bau udara di sekitar saya sangat busuk, tak dengar bunyi apa-apa pun tapi busuknya sangat dahsyat", kata wanita itu.
"Bagus, sekarang deria bau awak dah pulih, kita akan usaha untuk pulihkan deria pendengaran awak pula", kata doktor.
Globalization in the era since World War II was first the result of planning by economists, business interests, and politicians who recognized the costs associated with protectionism and declining international economic integration. Their work led to the Bretton Woods conference and the founding of several international institutions intended to oversee the renewed processes of globalization, promoting growth and managing adverse consequences.
These were the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank) and the International Monetary Fund. It has been facilitated by advances in technology which have reduced the costs of trade, and trade negotiation rounds, originally under the auspices of GATT, which led to a series of agreements to remove restrictions on free trade.
Since World War II, barriers to international trade have been considerably lowered through international agreements - General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Particular initiatives carried out as a result of GATT and the World Trade Organization (WTO), for which GATT is the foundation, have included:
- Promotion of free trade:
- Reduction or elimination of tariffs; construction of free trade zones with small or no tariffs
- Reduced transportation costs, especially from development of containerization for ocean shipping.
- Reduction or elimination of capital controls
- Reduction, elimination, or harmonization of subsidies for local businesses
- Restriction of free trade:
- Harmonization of intellectual property laws across the majority of states, with more restrictions.
- Supranational recognition of intellectual property restrictions (e.g. patents granted by China would be recognized in the United States)
The Uruguay Round (1984 to 1995) led to a treaty to create the World Trade Organization (WTO), to mediate trade disputes and set up a uniform platform of trading. Other bi- and multilateral trade agreements, including sections of Europe's Maastricht Treaty and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have also been signed in pursuit of the goal of reducing tariffs and barriers to trade.
World exports rose from 8.5% of gross world product in 1970 to 16.1% of gross world product in 2001.[7]
The use of the term globalization (in the doctrinal sense), in the context of these developments has been analysed by many including Noam Chomsky who states [6]
| “ | ... That enhances what's called "globalization," a term of propaganda used conventionally to refer to a certain particular form of international integration that is (not surprisingly) beneficial to its designers: Multinational corporations and the powerful states to which they are closely linked. | ” |
Critics have observed that the term's contemporary usage comprises several meanings, for example Noam Chomsky states that: [7]
| “ | The term "globalization," like most terms of public discourse, has two meanings: its literal meaning, and a technical sense used for doctrinal purposes. In its literal sense, "globalization" means international integration. Its strongest proponents since its origins have been the workers movements and the left (which is why unions are called "internationals"), and the strongest proponents today are those who meet annually in the World Social Forum and its many regional offshoots. In the technical sense defined by the powerful, they are described as "anti-globalization," which means that they favor globalization directed to the needs and concerns of people, not investors, financial institutions and other sectors of power, with the interests of people incidental. That's "globalization" in the technical doctrinal sense. |

History
(Gr. neos: new, and didymos: twin) In 1841, Mosander, extracted a rose-colored oxide from cerite , which he believed contained a new element. He named the element didymium, as it was an inseparable twin brother of lanthanum. In 1885 von Welsbach separated didymium into two new elemental components, neodymia and praseodymia, by repeated fractionation of ammonium didymium nitrate. While the free metal is in misch metal, long known and used as a pyrophoric alloy for light flints, the element was not isolated in relatively pure form until 1925. Neodymium is present in misch metal to the extent of about 18%. It is present in the minerals monazite and bastnasite, which are principal sources of rare-earth metals.
Production
The element may be obtained by separating neodymium salts from other rare earths by ion-exchange or solvent extraction techniques, and by reducing anhydrous halides such as NdF3 with calcium metal. Other separation techniques are possible.
Properties
The metal has a bright silvery metallic luster, Neodymium is one of the more reactive rare-earth metals and quickly tarnishes in air, forming an oxide that spalls off and exposes metal to oxidation. The metal, therefore, should be kept under light mineral oil or sealed in a plastic material. Neodymium exists in two allotropic forms, with a transformation from a double hexagonal to a body-centered cubic structure taking place at 863oC.
Isotopes
Natural neodymium is a mixture of seven stable isotopes. Fourteen other radioactive isotopes are recognized.
Uses
Didymium, of which neodymium is a component, is used for coloring glass to make welders goggles. By itself, neodymium colors glass delicate shades ranging from pure violet through wine-red and warm gray. Light transmitted through such glass shows unusually sharp absorption bands. The glass has been used in astronomical work to produce sharp bands by which spectral lines may be calibrated. Glass containing neodymium can be used as a laser material to produce coherent light. Neodymium salts are also used as a colorant for enamels.
Cost
The price of the metal is about $1/g.
Handling
Neodymium has a low-to-moderate acute toxic rating. As with other rare earths, neodymium should be handled with care.
Used in ancient Egypt, rediscovered by NASA; favoured as a cure by the famous yet accessible to all. It is, of course, bio-magnetic healing, the therapy that helps the body heal itself.
Bio-magnetic therapy is simple and natural. Take the fact that iron makes up about 4 percent of our blood content and then imagine magnets attracting metal and you have the basis of the therapy. Magnets placed on the body increase blood flow in a specific area, much as exercising does; indeed often giving a similar feeling of euphoria. Capillaries carry increased oxygen and nutrients to the cells accelerating the healing process. Meanwhile, muscles lengthen and relax as magnetic waves pass through tissue, thus helping reduce muscle swelling and pain as the magnets neutralise the acidity in the area and assist by kicking in the body's own beta endorphin system (the body's own pain-relieving defence).
Not only does the modern environment shield us from much of the natural geomagnetic field around the earth but research shows that over the last century it has actually declined by 5 percent, yet it is fundamental for our health and well being. Proof of the pudding is that early astronauts returned from brief bursts into gravity-free space with diminished bone density and compromised immunity. Nowadays space suits are lined with magnetic material and astronauts suffer no ill effects after months aloft. So NASA were the first people in the West to accept the premise of what the Chinese have long called magnetic deficiency syndrome. Magnet therapy helps redress the balance.
It can benefit virtually any condition and because magnets temporarily alter the molecular structure of the blood in the specific area where they are worn, it flows more easily into places like cartilage and bone; this speeds up the healing process.
Fibromyalgia has been getting a lot more attention in the last few years as various universities through out the world carry out clinical trials using magnetic mattress pads and keep getting the same positive results. The most recent research carried out was from the University of Virginia in the US, which concluded that, although the overall results of the research were inconclusive, magnet therapy reduced fibromyalgia pain intensity enough in one group of study participants enough to be "clinically meaningful". Dr Alan Alfano, lead researcher of the study, said, "Finding any positive results in the groups using the magnets was surprising, given how little we know about how magnets work to reduce pain."
The team gathered data for six months on 94 fibromyalgia patients randomly divided into four groups. Pain was measured by functional status of the patients, number of tender points and pain intensity ratings.
One control group was given sham pads containing demagnetised magnets, and another control group received the usual treatment for fibromyalgia, which consists of drugs in combination with an exercise programme.
The other two groups received active magnetic pads: one group used Pad A, which provided whole body exposure to a low, uniformly static magnetic field of negative polarity, while the other used Pad B, which provided a low static magnetic field that varied spatially and in polarity.
Dr Ann Taylor, a member of the research team, said, "When we compared the groups, we did not find significant statistical differences in most of the outcome measures."
She said, however, that they observed a statistically significant difference in pain intensity for one of the pads, and both groups with pads showed improved scores after six months, unlike the sham pad group and group receiving usual care.
Dr Taylor said this was the largest and most rigorous study on the therapy conducted so far, but additional research was needed to assess safety and efficacy.
So how do the magnetic mattress pads work. First of all, it is important that all the magnets, that you are lying on are north facing. Since the north side of a magnet will bring down trauma, swelling and bruising and most importantly reduce the acidity in the body by neutralising it. Most people who are in pain generally have a problem sleeping. This can mean you can toss and turn in pain changing positions up to 140 -160 positions a night, this in itself is stressful. These magnetic mattress pads are used in insomniac clinics in America. For the simple reason, the energy from the magnets calm down the circadian rhythm of the brain waves and help to induce an alpha state of sleep. It is only when you are in a deep state of sleep that your pineal gland is activated, which is in charge of all of your healing systems and all of your energy systems. So if you do not sleep well, your batteries are not charged in the morning, worse still the badly needed healing has not been able to be carried out during the night.
For anybody suffering from any form of bone degeneration, arthritis, rheumatism, general stiffness in the mornings or lack of energy these are wonderful. Apart from helping to remove the general aches and pains it will rebalance the hormones in the body, lower the acidity, boost the circulation and immunity and generally give you greater energy. Another thing which magnets do is to help the bones to absorb more calcium, whilst at the same time preventing the calcium which is suspended in the blood flow from adhering to areas like finger joints causing swelling and deformations. This is achieved by the magnets raising the pH balance in the body. This enables the body to function more efficiently, and helps prevent unwanted calcification and crystalisation from occurring in joints whilst also preventing further stiffness and soreness.
It is, however, important that people treat magnets with caution. They can be very powerful and you do need to know what you are doing., knowing what is needed, where and of what intensity. Often only one or two repeat visits are needed and then a very occasional top up when necessary. A key factor is whether the N or S Pole of the magnet is next to the skin. The N energy appears to have a calming action, it also increases blood flow over an area in about five minutes. N energy also dislikes acidity so helps disperse lactic acid and bi-products that make up the ouch factor in any area of trauma and injury. Not only is pain removed but bruising and swelling is quickly and greatly reduced. The S energy appears to have a very different action. It stimulates enzyme action, lymphatic function and helps remind the body how to balance itself back to good health.
Magnet therapy has also been shown to be highly effective in the control and treatment of chronic depression and sleep-related disorders. Melatonin, the central hormone that controls the entire energy system of the body, is highly responsive to N pole magnets. This hormone has a dramatic effect on our immune and enzyme functions, it is not only antibiotic, anti stress, anti cancerous but also responsible for controlling degenerative diseases. It has been medically proven that sleeping on N pole magnetic products enhances deep alpha sleep, thus helping activate the thyroid gland and increase melatonin production. This also contributes to the improvement of all body processes especially those related to energy production and ageing. Many users have reported a more youthful appearance as well as feeling physically rejuvenated; it also stimulates hair and nail growth and, because increased circulation helps flush out cholesterol, toxins and other waste products that normally lodge in the arterial walls, it helps prevent blocked arteries and associated increases in blood pressure, too.

Don't resist the pull.
Edymium is a company that promotes health products and carries a range of magnetic bracelets. The company has currently sold more than 2,000 bracelets in the market.What’s the history behind magnetic therapy?
For thousands of years, Chinese, Egyptians, Arabs, Greeks, Romans and Indians have used magnets to heal. Ancient Greece discovered the very first natural magnet in the form of the lodestone and Hippocrates, the father of medicine, noted its healing powers.
The Egyptians, too, described the divine powers of the magnet in their writings and Cleopatra frequently adorned herself with magnetic jewellery to preserve her youth. Chinese manuscripts dating back thousands of years described the eastern belief that the life force termed Qi was generated by the earth’s magnetic field. Today, magnetic therapy is well established in many countries such as Japan, China, India, US and Germany.How do magnetic bracelets work?
The magnetics theory revolves around the premise that magnets improve the circulatory system and blood fl ow. The increased circulation gives the body more of nutrients it needs in the blood, improving health naturally.
What goes into a Edymium magnetic bracelet?
Neodymium biomagnets, which are derived from the earth, hold their charge indefinitely, with no significant loss of power after 10 years. At first their cost is prohibitive but now they are very economical. The magnets are combined with titanium, because titanium is as strong as steel, but is 45 per cent lighter.
Due to its strength, lightness, extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, titanium grade II industrial metal is used to make BMT bracelets. It’s better than metals like copper, silver or bronze which sometimes tend to discolor the skin and cause allergic reactions. We use a special glue that doesn’t cause any irritation to the skin to bind them together. does the effectiveness of the bracelet vary.According to size or design?
Even though the sizes and shapes of the bracelet vary, the effectiveness remains the same as the neodymium magnets in each bracelet are around 2,000 gauss. [Gauss is a unit of measurement of magnetic field and is named after mathematician, physics and magnetic researcher Karl F. Gauss].
Any side effects?Magnetic therapy is very safe. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed that static magnetic fields pose no health risks at all. No complications have ever been reported with its proper use.
Who should not use magnetic bracelets?
Magnetic bracelets should not be used if you are wearing a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or any other electro-medical device. Do not wear a magnetic bracelet during pregnancy.
