As the colleague and another ezine expert

30th June

As the colleague and another ezine expert author Alan Boyer who shared this with me said “Sort of says something about our culture.” Yes, it certainly does.

This leads to the question why are readers more interested in reading about whether their partner is having an affair instead of how to improve themselves? The most viewed self-improvement article had less than 4,000 reads.

From my perspective, I believe that we are more concerned about our weaknesses or the weaknesses of others. The weaknesses of others create self-validation of our own weaknesses. Many of us shy away from strong people by labeling them as nerds, geeks, assertive, stubborn and gravitate toward weak people. We feel comfortable being one of many instead of one of few. Maybe that’s why one slogan

The Few, The Proud and the Brave

resonates with some.

Anther example of a weakness mindset came during a coaching session I was conducting for supervisory training in a small business.

Satellite TV has now entered into

29th June

Satellite TV has now entered into the very fabric of most people that they can’t live without it. I can’t say I blame these folks because the pleasure to be derived from Satellite TV subscription is better imagined than explained. Lots of reasons exist that has made Satellite TV to be preferred to Cable TV. For many people, the most important reason why they prefer Satellite TV is the fact that one can also get access to information via Satellite TV. Lots of channels now exist on Satellite TV — from move channels to information channels. Kids can now watch lots of children channels, thanks to Satellite TV. Among the many reasons why many now can’t do without Satellite TV is its affordability. The cost of Cable TV is much more than Satellite TV. This is where most people just don’t get it. Never have they seen anything like this that costs a lot less yet delivers so much more. As you can see, it just doesn’t make any iota of sense to keep using Cable TV when Satellite TV is much more powerful, yet more affordable. You see, it’s not just the “more” channels that’s the joy of Satellite TV, but the “variety” that’s driving subscribers crazy. You have a varied options when it comes to Satellite TV – from entertainment channels, comedy channels, movie channels, drama channels, etc, Satellite TV is the way to go for everyone. You can’t compare this to Cable TV that has less variety. It’s obvious that because of the low cost of Satellite TV and the more programs it offers users, it’s going to take over Cable TV sooner, rather than later. Nothing should make you hesitant even if you already have a Cable TV subscription; the companies that provide Satellite TV can easily switch things over for you. If anyone is still hesitant about getting and enjoying a Satellite TV, it’s high time they did what’s best and got one.

Glycogen is the stored form of glucose,

29th June

Glycogen is the stored form of glucose, one of the body’s primary sources of energy. Increased glycogen production and storage is the body’s normal way of signaling the brain’s satiety centre that enough food has been eaten. This has made Garcinia a very effective herbal medicine for controlling obesity and cholesterol. So, this helps boost your energy levels.

-Green Tea – contains powerful anti-oxidants like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), has been shown to be effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots.

In summary, please note that hoodia gordonii plus is not a wonder pill. It can assist those that have trouble losing weight, but it is not the whole solution. If you need to lose weight, you still need to exercise and eat food that is good for you. If you have any questions on using this product, you should consult with your doctor.

Shaziman: Parliament relocation is temporary

Shaziman: Parliament relocation is temporary

0 Comments | New Straits Times, Jun 29, 2010 | by V. Vasudevan

THE government gives an assurance that any relocation of Parliament is temporary.

Works Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor said the upgrading of Parliament House, which costs between RM100 million and RM150 million, would take between two and 2 1/2 years.

“The government or the cabinet never said that we would move Parliament to Putrajaya,” he said in reply to points raised during the debate on the 10th Malaysia Plan.

Last week, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said the government planned to build a new Parliament building costing RM800 million. It would repair the present Parliament House and turn it into a heritage building, he added.

Following protests from members of parliament and the public, the government shelved the idea. However, Nazri said the government was looking at relocating Parliament to the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC).

Shaziman said yesterday the Works Ministry had informed the cabinet that the Parliament building was old and needed structural upgrade and renovation.

He said a study conducted by the Public Works Department found that there were weaknesses in the structure of the building.

This, he said, meant that a temporary relocation was necessary as the renovation would involve heavy machinery, exposure to dust and noise.

“We don’t want the Yang Berhormats from Kepong (DAP’s Tan Seng Giaw) and Pokok Sena (Pas’ Datuk Mahfuz Omar) to cough while they attend parliamentary sittings.”

To a question by Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan), Shaziman said the building was safe and the renovation would extend its lifespan.

Fong Po Kuan (DAP-Batu Gajah) accused Shaziman of misleading the house and cited Nazri’s statement as an example.

Deputy Speaker Ronald Kiandee dismissed Fong’s allegation, saying there was no proof that Shaziman had misled the house.

Shaziman later said the cabinet had directed the Works Ministry to prepare a proposal on the feasibility of renovating PICC to house parliamentary sittings or to build a new building next to Parliament House.

It gave the ministry three months to do the job.

On last Thursday’s flooding at the Jalan Duta court’s basement cafeteria following a burst water pipe, Shaziman told the Dewan Rakyat that the initial report from the Public Works Department showed that the pipe was not supposed to have been used.

“The pipe was leaking and the maintenance crew recently fixed it by putting in a new pipe and sealant.

“Unfortunately, due to a communication breakdown, it was used before the sealant hardened and this caused the pipe to burst.”

He denied that the roof of the cafeteria had collapsed, saying the contractor had to cut a big hole in the plaster ceiling to prevent further damage.

“I guarantee the building is safe.”

Fong and Tian Chua (PKR-Batu) also brought up the plight of foreigners working on the new Istana Negara complex who were allegedly not paid for thee months.

Shaziman said he had instructed the Construction Industry Development Board to investigate the claims.

“If it is true, we will blacklist the contractors from future projects.”

To an allegation by Mahfuz that contractors employed to build the palace were not Class-A contractors, Shaziman said the Finance Ministry would ensure that only capable contractors could bid for Class-A projects.

Anyone who is desirous of achieving anything

29th June

Anyone who is desirous of achieving anything in life must master the art of debt management by reducing his/her debt burden. There is just no way people can make headways in life if there is a huge debt burden hanging on their necks. However, folks who are really smart can take as much debt as they want because they have the means of paying back such debts. But in your case, this might not hold true. People who have accumulated huge debts must endeavor to do all they can to reduce such debts. In otherwords, am talking about effective debt management. The following methods can be used to manage and reduce debts: Cut down your expenses. This is very vital if you aim to reduce your debt considerably. It is only when your purchases are very minimal that you will have surplus funds at your disposal, which you can then use to repay your debt. This practise, if strictly adhered to, will assist you, not only in debt management, but in both business and your personal life. Another golden rule is to ensure that you put away 10% of your earnings as savings, and you will see that no debt will be too big to be reduced. This can be achieved by putting aside some money that will then accumulate and can be used to repay a debt or start a business that will earn you extra to repay whichever debt. This concept is popularly known as “pay thyself first”. By saving some money regularly, you can reduce your debt, no matter the amount you owe, so says the popular book “”The Richest Man In Babylon”. This can most certainly be used to offset your debt gradually, as well as putting the remainder into your business. It is true that the 2 methods look too simple on the surface, but I assure you they are very effective in debt management and reducing debt.

To support his point

29th June

To support his point of view Jan De Vries he underlines that the Peasant model implies the growth of rural population and the development of farming and increase of land use. At the same time in the situation when the population exploiting land increase along with the division of land holdings that eventually lead to the lack of surplus and crises in rural societies. Moreover, the situation is deteriorated because peasants are basically deprived of opportunity to trade since they mainly occupied with their land while trade is concentrated in hands of a few capitalists and gradually the situation becomes even worth since a few landlords control the main part of the land that in its turn leads to social and economic contradictions.

I can imagine how happy you

29th June

I can imagine how happy you were when the doctors announced to you that you were pregnant. Now that the joy has subsided, reality must have dawned on you about preparing for the arrival of your little angel. At this point you have to make the difficult but essential decision of how and where to buy your best baby clothes, including shoes. But if you have the right guide, it shouldn’t be such a confusing decision. Baby shoes come in many styles, colors and designs. When you go out shopping for your baby shoes, there are many popular designs to shoes; from boots, suede trim, 100% leather and even hi-tops and sneaker shoes. If you are one to fancy popular brand names, there are also many baby shoes from popular brand names such as Adidas, Nike, etc to choose from. With the many varieties to choose from, it’s critically important for you to take your time in deciding the best baby shoes to buy. As far as most expecting mothers are concerned — why can’t they just buy any baby shoes from the many that they see? The truth is this — if you’re serious about getting the baby shoes that will be best for your child’s balance and posture, then care has to be taken in selecting the right one. Among the best types of baby shoes to buy are those that are made from natural materials, especially genuine leather as these help to make the feet and toes of babies cool and clean most of the time. Don’t neglect the comfort of your baby while choosing baby shoes because it’s more important that “your baby is comfortable” rather than “the shoe is beautiful”. Thanks to the Internet and its paraphernalia, those expecting mothers that are too heavily pregnant to go out shopping can do their baby shoe shopping online. It really doesn’t matter which baby shoe design or style or make you want; you can find it on the Internet and have it delivered right at your doorstep.
