THE WAY TO ACHIEVE HAPPINESS

2011-11-12T19:27:00.005+08:00

It is the nature of every person to seek happiness. Some people strive to seek material happiness in this world away from religion, thinking that this is the true happiness. But this kind of happiness will be succeeded by pain and sorrow at the Day of Judgment, and its people will know that their striving led them only to misery and not happiness.

While others know that the true way to happiness is to obey God and follow His religion. For them the pleasures and riches of the world are of little consequence. When this happiness penetrates and fills the heart of the believer he does in fact live in this world as if he were in Paradise. Those are the people who find true happiness in this world.

What kind of happiness could be greater than that of someone who humbles himself to God, worships Him, strives for His pleasure, and strives to enter Paradise and have salvation from Hellfire?

The believer lives with such a sweetness in his heart that if the masters of the earth knew of it, they would fight him to death to take it from him. God has said:

Whoever does right, whether male or female, and is a believer, We will make him live a good life, and We will award them their reward for the best of what they used to do. (Quran, 16:97)

Happiness is in the good life mentioned in this verse, that even the rich disbelievers cannot find, despite the money they have. That is why we are not surprise when we know that many among them committed suicide.

To reach true happiness, we need to know what is the purpose of our life, how to reach success in the hereafter, and to fulfill the requirements of reaching this success by following the commands of God and His true religion.

We know much about Mars, Earth, moon, stars, and galaxies, thanks to the century of knowledge. But how much we know about our eternal life after death and how to reach success in the hereafter?

People need to eat every day to supply their bodies with energy and to keep themselves healthy. If they stop eating for a period of time, diseases will sneak up upon them and overtake them, and perhaps even kill them. Similarly, people also need food of another kind, food for the spirit and heart. It is unfortunate that while people are careful never to forget to feed their bodies, they do not show the same concern for the health of their souls and hearts. The heart needs food as the body does. The diseases of the body and the debilitating effects they have are not more dangerous than the diseases of the heart and soul.

EU SLASHES EUROZONE GROWTH FORCASTS

“The recovery in the EU has now

come to a standstill and there is the risk

of a new recession unless determined action is taken,”

said Commissioner Olli Rehn.

The European Union on Thursday has sharply downgraded the economic forecasts for the eurozone to just 0.5 percent growth in 2012, and warned that several countries may slip into recession in coming months.

Brussels had previously banked on 1.8 per cent growth for next year, but scaled back its expectation amid a resurgence of the eurozone debt crisis two years after it first started.

All 17 countries that use the euro saw their growth forecasts lowered for 2012. Those in the so-called core of the currency bloc were downgraded most severely:

Germany from 1.9 per cent to 0.8 per cent,
France from 2 per cent to 0.6 per cent and
the Netherlands from 1.7 per cent to 0.5 per cent.

TURKEY EARTHQUAKE: BUILDINGS AND HOTELS COLLAPSED

"Rescue efforts

are concentrating on the hotel

as the other buildings are thought to have been empty,"

said Alper Kucuk, Turkish Red Crescent

A 5.6-magnitude earthquake has killed at least three people in eastern Turkey, and trapped many more under collapsed buildings.

About 20 buildings have collapsed, including a six-storey hotel in the city of Van, where dozens of aid workers and journalists were staying.

The quake hit at 21:23 (19:23 GMT) and was centred 16km south of Van.

The same region was struck last month by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake which killed more than 600 people.

YOU TUBE IS STREAMING HAJJ LIVE

2011-11-06T15:24:00.011+08:00

For the infomation of non- Muslim, we briefly describe the Pilgrimage to Makkah (Hajj) which is one of the five Pillars of Islam.

The Five Pillars of Islam are the framework of the Muslim life. They are the testimony of faith, prayer, giving zakat (support of the needy), fasting during the month of Ramadan, and the pilgrimage to Makkah once in a lifetime for those who are able.

The Pilgrimage to Makkah

The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah is an obligation once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially able to perform it. About two million people go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe. Although Makkah is always filled with visitors, the annual Hajj is performed in the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. Male pilgrims wear special simple clothes which strip away distinctions of class and culture so that all stand equal before God.

The rites of the Hajj include circling the Kaaba seven times and going seven times between the hillocks of Safa and Marwa, as Hagar did during her search for water. Then the pilgrims stand together in Arafa and ask God for what they wish and for His forgiveness, in what is often thought of as a preview of the Day of Judgment.

The end of the Hajj is marked by a festival, Eid Al-Adha, which is celebrated with prayers. This, and Eid al-Fitr, a feast-day commemorating the end of Ramadan, are the two annual festivals of the Muslim calendar.

Greetings of Eid ul-Fitr 2011

2011-08-31T08:30:00.005+08:00

To muslims all over the world,

Ar-Raina Family

wishing you

joy, prosperity

and peace

Eid ul-Fitr

For the information of nonmuslims,muslims celebrate 'Eid ul Fitr on the first day of Shawwal - the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, following the month of Ramadhan (in which the revelation started and ended 20+ years later, and which is also the month of fasting). Following a Lunar calendar, Muslims mark the beginning of the month with the sighting of the new crescent.

The month long fasting of Ramadan culminates into the festival of 'Eid-ul-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking). It is a festival of joy, family reunion and thanksgiving to Almighty God. The giving of a special charity for this occasion is obligatory. This is known as Zakat. Muslims dress in holiday attire, attend a special community prayer in the morning, and visit friends and relatives. Greetings of "'Eid mubarak," or "a blessed 'Eid" are exchanged.

Report Corruption And Bribes Using Bribespot

2011-08-31T07:20:00.005+08:00

“The app itself makes sense. It is easy to explain.”
said Artas Bartas

MobileActive.org reports about BRIBESPOT, a mobile application for andriod (iphone version will be expected in October) that allows people to submit reports of corruption and bribes.

According to Artas Bartas and the team of developers of Bribespot, this application aims, "To visualize the corruption that is happening, to act as facilitators on the technical side, and to make as many aware of the service as possible. Second, Bribespot wants to make it easy for others to act upon Bribespot information, such as anti-corruption organization or investigative journalists."

"Bribespot adoption and use has been widespread in Lithuania. Bribespot staff are based in the country and the service has received media attention. There are also many active users in Romania, where the service has been picked up by blogs and web portals. In Romania, many people use the app regularly, Bartas said, which might indicate persistent issues of corruption."

"One example from Lithuania is posted on the Bribespot site, in which an individual was asked for 200 USD for a speeding infraction. Another example from Poland reports a bribe for 25 EUR: Traffic cop stopped car. Suggested "half the fine" but first made sure his radiotelephone was off."

I think Bribespot is a very useful application to curb the prevalence of corruption and bribery.

The World's Smallest Monkey

2011-08-26T07:21:00.008+08:00

The smallest monkey in the world is pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea) which can be found in Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Bolivia and some places of Peru. This monkey grows to a height of 11 to 15 cm and has a 17-22 cm long tail. It weighs only 120 to 190 grams; and weighs only 15 grams at the time of birth.

Pygmy marmosets live 11-12 years in the wild, but in zoos, they live into their early twenties. Marmosets often live in groups made up of an adult pair and its offspring; ranging from 2-6 members. Young marmosets typically remain in the group until after 2 consecutive birth cycles.

How technology fuelled Britain's first 21st century riot

2011-08-09T09:52:00.006+08:00

Its very sad and disheartening to know that violence has erupted in several parts of London as rioters looted and set fire to buildings and cars. Technology has played an important part in these events.

The Telegraph reported that" the Tottenhem riots were orchestrated by teenage gang members who used the latest mobile phone technology to incite and film the looting and violence.

The disorder was captured second-by-second on Twitter with rioters so caught up in the frenzy of destruction they thought nothing of posting incriminating pictures of themselves stealing from ransacked shops.

Gang members used Blackberry smart-phones designed as a communications tool for high-flying executives to organise the mayhem.

The Blackberry phone, one of the first devices to offer mobile email, was once the preserve of business leaders and political aides but has become increasingly popular with members of urban gangs and teenagers."

15 Great Ways To Lose Weight Fast

2011-07-31T01:42:00.003+08:00

Want to lose weight fast? It's easy to say goodbye to 10 pounds of unwanted fat with these easy diet tips. Just pay attention to what you eat and be sure to have good tasting, fresh and healthy food including snacks, fill up on vegetables and keep your taste buds happy with fruit.

No need to make sacrifices! Just follow these simple guidelines to lose your first 10 pounds, last 10 pounds or give your weight loss program a boost when it seems to have stuttered to a halt. This is a balanced and flexible plan that you can use for as long as you want.

1. Keep a note of everything that you eat and drink. You do not need to estimate calories. Just write down what it was that you had and the approximate quantity. You will find that being more aware of what you are eating helps you to plan healthy meals and snacks.

2. Halve your intake of all pure or added fats. This means using half as much butter or spread on your bread, toast, muffins and potatoes; half the usual amount of mayonnaise or sauce on your salad; and half the oil in the frypan every time.

3. Limit treats containing sugar to three times per week. This includes chocolate, ice cream, desserts, cake, pastries, cookies, etc.

4. Include a lower fat source of protein at most meals: chicken, fish, beans, cottage cheese, or low fat yogurt. Have eggs, nuts and red meat occasionally but not every day.

5. Plan at least one lunch and dinner every week without meat or cheese. Build those meals around whole grains, vegetables and beans to increase fiber and reduce fat.

6. Reduce the fat content in your milk products. If you are currently drinking whole milk, reduce to 2% fat. From 2% reduce to 1%. Choose lower fat cheese and yogurt. When you buy yogurt, also check that it does not contain sugar.

7. Have at least two servings of fruit every day. This can be for dessert or snacks. Choose fruit that is in season.

8. Drink water instead of sodas, juices, milky drinks or alcohol. Avoid diet soda - the sweet taste only encourages you to crave sugar. Hot water with a slice of lemon can be very refreshing in the morning.

9. Include at least two servings of vegetables at lunch and dinner. If you are getting hungry, have more.

10. Eat slowly. The body is slow to register when you are full and it is easy to eat too much if you are racing through your meals.

11. Grated carrot makes a great snack. You will find that a grated carrot is much more filling than a whole carrot. Strange but true.

12. Use whole grains wherever possible. The fiber will give you a fuller feeling and also help your digestion.

13. Choose food that you can chew. Again this will increase your fiber intake, and the act of chewing will make you feel more satisfied too. This means eating fruit instead of drinking juice. If you have soup, make sure it is chunky.

14. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time. Plan your shopping too - make a list of what you need and stick to it. If you just grab something when you are feeling hungry, you will probably choose high calorie food.

15. Always switch off the TV when you eat. That includes snacks as well as meals. Studies have proved that we eat larger portions in front of the TV, probably because we are much less aware of what we are eating. When you eat, only eat if you want to lose weight fast.

THREE QUARTERS MOBILE PHONES USERS ENGAGE IN MOBILE SOSIAL NETWORKINGS

The Quran on the Origin of the Universe

2011-07-11T09:47:00.004+08:00

The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, about 60 light years in diameter.

The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of ‘smoke’ (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot gaseous composition). This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that ‘smoke' (see the above picture)

The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’ material. God has said in the Quran:

Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... (Quran, 41:11)

Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they formed and separated from each other. God has said in the Quran:

Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?... (Quran, 21:30)

Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.”

Also he said:"Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in the position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin."

"...the people who get on in this world

Hi readers, Welcome to Minda ArRaina or ArRaina's Mind. I'm sorry for being unable to update this blog since end of October 2010.I realize that I have been neglecting my regular visitors for so long. Starting today, I will try my best to update it at least once a week. That's my promise.

The other day while I was reading my emails, I came across few messages regarding making money online. Immediately several questions came up in my mind. These questions were: Are those email senders making money online? How many people interested in making money online? So I did some research just to get answers to my curiosity.

First, I read those emails and clicked on their links. Look what I got….Socrates Socratous making $ 22,502 per month from his Killer Content system. Gobala Krishnan accumulated $101, 828 from the internet last year. This shows that they are making a lot of money by doing business online.

Second, I went to Google Keyword Tool and typed in keyword phrase "Make Money Online". I wanted to see how many people search for that term. Wow! there was well over 700,000 searches.

The above figure indicates that there are numerous people who are keen to make money online and eager to seek information on this subject. Are you already making money online? If yes is the answer, congrats! to you and well done. What about you who are still seeing people make money on line? Aren't you going to make money online and having additional income in a near future? Some of you may be answering, "I don't know how to do it!"

Let make things happen rather see things happening by first, getting the information on how to make money. There are numerous articles on this subject over the internet. As a start you may want to have a look at three work at home business opportunities which I have found by clicking here.

Please feel free to leave comments once you have read those business opportunities. I’ll furnish you with list of online businesses and list of reading materials as well. While numerous people are making money online by selling their own products or selling other people’s products or rendering services online, I think it’s high time for you, newbies to start your own online businesses. But please bear in mind not to be conned by the so called “gurus”. Till we meet again in another post, I wish you happy searching and all the best in your endeavour to make money online.

MALAYSIA HAS MOST DIGITAL FRIENDS

2010-10-11T11:15:00.007+08:00

Social Networking Sites

"We are working
n the premise that,
as technological advances continue,

the traditional mediums of television and radio

may become usurped in their potency

in terms of delivering important messages to society at large, said Professor John Preston,

A study conducted by TNS, a research firm which interviewed 50,000 consumers in 46 countries has revealed that Malaysians have the most friends on their social networks.

In Malaysia the average number of friends is 233 closely followed by 231 in Brazil and 217 in Norway.

Besides having the most friends, Malaysians are also the heaviest users of social networking sites. They spend an average of nine hours per week on these sites.

QURAN: A Teacher To Modern Scientists

2010-10-11T10:33:00.006+08:00

Ours is an era of space probes, computer chips, laser surgeries and cloning. If we were to label any book as a revelation from God, we couldn't help but to scrutinize this Scripture using modern scientific knowledge. It could not be that a revelation, proclaiming itself from God, could constitute aspects contradicting established scientific facts. How could we assume otherwise, when God is the one who created the universe and the laws operating within it.

The Quran was revealed 1400 years ago to the last Prophet of God, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a guidance for all humanity. The entire Quran has been committed to memory by millions of Muslims around the world and has been preserved by God from any interpolations, for continuing guidance. Although the Quran is a religious book with a total of about 6600 plus verses dealing with many aspects of a person's life, about 1000 of those verses are of scientific nature, none contradicting established scientific facts.

Dr. T.V.N. Persaud [1], professor of Anatomy, says: "You have an illiterate person (Prophet Muhammad) making profound statements that are amazingly accurate, of a scientific nature...I personally can't see how this could be mere chance, there are too many accuracies and like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind reconciling that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which lead him to these statements".

Besides providing guidelines in personal, social, moral and spiritual spheres of humanity, the Quran touches upon diverse scientific topics like astronomy, geology, embryology, genetics, biology, archeology etc. Some of these are mentioned below to prove the Quran's Divine origin.

The Big Bang !

Currently, the Big Bang model of the origin of the universe is the cosmological paradigm most widely accepted by astronomers. It holds that about 15 billion years ago the universe began with the explosive expansion of a single, extremely dense matter, the primordial mass. Only after the development of radio telescopes in 1937 that, the necessary observational precision was achieved in order for astronomers to arrive at the above conclusion. What does the Quran say about our universe's origin?

"Do not the unbelievers see that the Heavens and the earth were joined together, then We split them apart." (21:30)

Expanding Universe

In 1925, Edwin Hubble (after whom the Hubble Space telescope is named) provided the observational evidence for the expansion of the universe. Stephen Hawking (author of 'A Brief History of Time') states: "The universe is not static, as had previously been thought, it is expanding". So what did God reveal in the Quran, 1400 years ago?

"And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it" (51:47) ("We" is the Arabic plural of respect, not the Christian plural of 'trinity")

The Existence of Sun's Orbit

Ancient people use to believe that the Sun revolves around the earth. Later, Nicholas Copernicus in 1512, laid his Heliocentric Theory of Planetary motion, which placed the sun motionless in the center of the solar system with all the planets revolving around it. Modern science tells us now that the sun too is not still, but is in motion.

The sun traveling at roughly 150 miles per second takes about 200 million years to complete one revolution around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and 25 days to make one complete rotation around its own axis. See how beautifully and accurately God revealed this phenomenon in the Quran:

"It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its orbit with its own motion." (21:33)

Conquest of Space by Human

Human exploration and the conquest of space began with the launching of the Russian Satellite, Sputnik I on Oct. 4, 1957. Then followed the launching of humans into space, which eventually led to a manned space flight to the Moon on July 20th, 1967. Thus the dream of humanity since the dawn of civilization to go beyond the earth to the heavens was realized.

The Quran, 1400 years ago, clearly predicted human's advancement and the possibility of space flight.

"O assembly of Jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate them! You will not penetrate them save with a power (of God)." (55:33)

The Protective Atmosphere

Earth is constantly bombarded by meteoroids that disintegrate upon the atmosphere and by lethal rays emitted by the sun. This UV radiation is absorbed by the Ozone layer forming the outer fringe of our atmosphere. Thus our atmosphere along with its Ozone layer is a protective covering for us. Life possibly could not have existed without it. How meticulously, does our Lord sustain and protect us against this atmospheric destruction.

"And We have made the atmosphere a protective roof, yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things point to." (21:32)

Embryology

The Dutch naturalist Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) produced lenses powerful enough to prove that many tiny creatures are not spontaneously generated but are produced from eggs. The science of Embryology as we know it today did not discover many of the detailed aspects of human embryonic development until the 1970s, using powerful microscopes, ultra sound and fiber optics technology. See how the Quran described the stages of embryonic development.

"God fashioned man from a small quantity (of sperm)" (16:4) Fertilization takes place with only one sperm among several tens of million produced by man.

"Then We placed him as a drop in a place of rest" (23:13) Implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus.

"Then We made the drop into a leech like structure..." (23:14) This resemblance of the human embryo to a leech is an appropriate description of the human embryo from days 7-24, when it clings to the endometrium of the uterus.

"And He (God) gave you hearing and sight and feeling and understanding." (32:9) The internal ears appear before the eyes, and the brain (the sight of understanding) differentiates last.

Dr. E. Marshall Johnson [2] Professor of Anatomy, concluded after studying verses from Quran: "The Quran describes not only the development of external form but emphasizes also the internal stages - the stages inside the embryo of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science... so I see nothing in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved..."

Gender Determination

The concept of "Gender Determination" as being described by geneticists, is one of the outstanding informations revealed to us in the Quran. This information is now a known fact, that sperms are the deciding factors in determining the type of gender (male or female) in the new embryo. This determination through the male sperm is due to the fact that sperms have an X and Y chromosomes, while the female ovum has only X Chromosomes (X, X). Through the Quran, The Almighty informs us that it is the male sperms that determine the type of gender for the new offspring:

"Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled (without purpose)? Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in humble form)? Then did (God) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. And of him He made two sexes, male and female..." (75:36-40)

Existence of Pairs in All Creation

Before the dawn of the modern era, humans conceived that only animal life was divided into two genders, male and female. Then the discovery was made that this phenomenon was present in plants and vegetation too. We have found this reality existing in every creation, animate as well as inanimate, though in different forms. In electricity, these two genders can be classified as positive and negative. North and south pole describe it in magnetism, electron and proton in atoms, matter and antimatter etc. Even bacteria could be positive or negative, while the truth is, this creation is made of pairs. At the time the Holy Quran was being revealed in the 7th century C.E., we knew of pairing in animals and plants only, but the Quran describes the phenomenon in the most lucid manner:

"Hallowed is He, Who created pairs in all things, those that grow from the earth and of themselves, and what they know not." (36:36)

The Quranic statement:

"...And what they know not" is as true today, as it was when Holy Quran was revealed. Though we have discovered that every created thing exists in pair, we have yet to discover many things that exist.

We have expounded scientific marvels from the Holy Quran to convince sincere seekers of truth that it is the infallible Word of God. No mortal being can ever speak with such authority, finality, knowledge, perfection, and precision coupled with exotic beauties of expression, as does God in the Quran.

By realizing these Truths about the Quran and the religion of Islam revealed by our Creator and Sustainer, many modern scientists are turning towards it.

Dr. Keith Moore [3], Professor of Embryology, after analyzing the verses of the Quran for three years comments: "It has been a pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about Human Development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God or Allah because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later"

Dr. Maurice Bucaille [4], French Physician, after studying Quran and comparing it with modern science, addressed the French Academy of Medicine in 1976 proclaimed: "Our knowledge of these disciplines is such, that it is impossible to explain how a text produced at the time of the Quran could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times".

Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson [5], Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, proclaims: "...These Hadiths (sayings of Muhammad) could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the time of the writer (7th century)...It follows that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion (Islam) but in fact religion (Islam) may guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches... There exist statements in the Quran shown centuries later to be valid which support knowledge in the Quran having been derived from God".

Dr. Tejatet Tejasen [6], Professor of Anatomy, attending the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference, stood up and likewise announced: "From my studies and what I have learnt at this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago must be true. That can be proved the scientific way".

These men of knowledge, in their unbiased studies of the Quran, all proclaimed its truthfulness as a Revelation of Almighty God.

"Soon we will show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth) and in their own soul, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth..." (41:53)

Guidance to humanity proclaimed in the Quran is complete and applicable to all societies and all times. Whether we are living in the Stone Age or the Space Age, riding in horse pulled carriages or flying in Space Shuttles, we haven't changed a bit. We still possess physical and emotional desires, we live in societies, interact with one another, establish social, political and economic systems; thus the relevant need for guidance by our Creator in all these spheres of our life. Islam is the only religion which is totally compatible with scientific facts and provides complete, explicit and clear guidance in all spheres of life.

The Quran was revealed in Arabic, but translation of its meaning are available in English and other languages for non-Arabs. Likewise Islam is not restricted to people of the east or Arabs, it is a universal religion revealed for all of mankind.

We invite all sincere humans to study Islam with an open mind. Don't blindly follow the whims and paganistic influences of the environment around us. God bestowed upon us this superb mind to seek and live the truth; for we all will be accountable on the Day of Judgment for our beliefs and deeds. Don't delay your salvation. Welcome to Islam!

GRAEME MCDOWELL WON U.S. OPEN

2010-06-21T14:40:00.006+08:00

McDowell, the Champion of U.S.Open 2010

"I just can't believe

how difficult this golf course was,"
McDowell said. "I had a little peek at
the leader board to see what was going on,
and no one was going crazy. I couldn't believe that."

Graeme McDowell, a 30-year-old from North Ireland, became the first European to win the US Open Championship since 1970.

McDowell posted a even-par 280 for the 72 holes at the very difficult conditions of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Though this score may not fit the typical Sunday finish for a US Open winner, McDowell made the fewest mistakes to earn the prestigious trophy.

Dustin Johson, a two-time Pro-Am winner at Pebble Beach did very well in the first three days and started Sunday with a three-short lead. However his 11-over-par, 82 round didn't help his cause.

Similarly, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and other elite golfers failed to conquer the treacherous Pebble Beach and to win the illustrious trophy. Please click here to see the leader board.

AN ENLIGHTENING POEM

2010-05-19T18:34:00.006+08:00

I came across recently an enlightening poem which I thought, should be shared by you, our esteemed visitors. This beautiful poem entitles The Difference.

THE DIFFERENCE

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why didn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and bounty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said,"But you didn't seek."

I tried to come to God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided.
"My child, you didn't knock."

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray

In our endeavor to achieve success, we sometimes take things for granted until we encounter difficulties or tragedies.

The above poem reminds us the greatness of God (Allah for Muslim). Let us show our gratitude by worshiping Him. We ask for His guidance, we seek for His blessings and we knock for His love. May God grants His compassion and mercy to all of us, Amen.

AUSTRALIA'S NEWEST HERO

The Prime Minister of Australia, Mr Kevin Rudd had to wait for Jassica Watson for three hours before hailing her as "Australia's newest hero."

"You do our nation proud," Mr Rudd said. "You are a hero for young Australians ... and young Australian women."

However Jassica humbly said she had to disagree with Mr Rudd as "I don't consider myself a hero".

"I'm an ordinary girl who had a dream. You just have to have a dream and set your mind to it.’’

For more details please click here and watch the following video.

WELCOME HOME JASSICA, A HERO

2010-05-15T00:26:00.008+08:00

Jassica Watson

“Tomorrow I am going to wake up and sail around the world.” said Jassica Watson on 17 Oct. 2009

Jassica Watson, an inspirational 16 year old Australian will become the youngest person to sail around the world, solo, non-stop and unassisted once she cross the finish line at Sydney Heads around 11:00 am local time today.

Jassica had a vision to become the youngest person to sail around the world. With her strong determination , the support of her family and her team, she left Sydney on 18 October 2009 to realize her dream. Jassica's historic voyage was posted in this blog on 19 October and 30 October 2009.

Now that you are arriving home, WELCOME HOME JASSICA! You are a hero. We, in Malaysia and all over the world are proud of you for achieving such an outstanding accomplishment.

PERINGATAN KEPADA PELAJAR-PELAJAR SMK SEAFIELD

2010-05-07T08:38:00.013+08:00

See you at the top!

Saya sebagai Yang DiPertua PIBG telah dijemput oleh Pengetua dan warga SMK Seafield, Subang Jaya untuk merasmikan Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang Akademik 2010 pada 30 April 2010 yang lalu.

Dalam ucapan perasmian, saya telah memberi ingatan kepada pelajar-pelajar yang terdiri daripada pelajar cemerlang yang bakal menerima anugerah pada hari itu.

Saya berpendapat bahawa semua pelajar sepatutnya diberi peluang untuk mengetahui ucapan saya itu. Justeru itu , berikut dicatatkan sebahagian daripada ucapan saya yang khusus memberi ingatan ikhlas kepada pelajar-pelajar agar menjadi insan yang terbaik.

“Kepada pelajar-pelajar yang dikasihi sekalian,

Al Quran telah menerangkan bahwa manusia telah dijadikan sebagai makhluk terbaik. Lantaran itu, manusia mempunyai potensi dan berupaya mencapai prestasi terbaik. Persoalannya sekarang, mengapa sebilangan kita belum lagi mencapai yang terbaik? Jawapannya terdapat dalam ungkapan Leo Tolstoy, ahli falsafah ternama, yang menyebut,” Everyone thinks of changing the world, but none thinks of changing himself.”

Untuk berjaya mengubah famili,sekolah, masyarakat dan negara kita, kita harus bermula dengan mengubah diri kita sendiri. Kita perlu bermuhasabah diri, mencari kelemahan, berazam dan berusaha menambahbaik prestasi sambil menyokong Program Pembangunan Prestasi Sekolah yang akan membantu kita menjadi pelajar dan sekolah terbaik.

Dalam melangkah untuk menjadi pelajar terbaik, anggaplah SMK Seafield sebagai telaga yang jernih yang mengalirkan air yang suci bersih. Segala ajaran, segala peraturan, segala leteran, segala hukuman, hanyalah kerana ingin menjadikan anda insan cemerlang.

Semasa menuntut ilmu di SMK Seafield, Marilah sama-sama bersepakat dalam haluan dan tenaga, bak perbilangan adat pepatih,

Bukit sama didaki

Lurah sama dituruni

Laba sama dikutip

Rugi sama ditatang

Hati kuman sama dicecah

Hati gagah sama dilapah

Berat sama dipikul

Ringan sama dijinjing

Cicir sama rugi

Dapat sama laba

pangkal sama dipupuk

Pucuk sama digentas

Bunga sama dipetik

Henry Ford pernah berkata, “ Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.”

Sekali lagi saya ingatkan wahai pelajar-pelajar sekelian,

A man is but the product of his thought

What he thinks he becomes

Thinking well is wise

Planning well is wiser

Doing well is the wisest and best of all

So congratulations to all of you for doing well.

Akhir kata, marilah kita berganding bahu dan berusaha agar SMK Seafield dapat melahirkan insan-insan yang:

cemerlang akhlaknya,

terbilang pencapaiannya,

dan gemilang hidupnya.

Dengan harapan ini dan lafaz bismillahhirahmanhirahim saya dengan sukacitanya merasmikan Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang Akademik 2010 SMK Seafield. Sekian, Terima kasih.”

Semoga ucapan tersebut diatas dapat difahami dan dihayati oleh pelajar-pelajar sekalian dalam usaha anda mencipta kejayaan, bak kata Albert Gray,

‘Winners have simply formed

The habit of doing things

Losers don’t like to do.’

Selamat Maju Jaya.

Yang Ikhlas,

Dato’ Abd Rahman Hj Ali

HOW RUBEN BECAME A MUSLIM

2010-05-06T13:26:00.008+08:00

Hi, glad to be able to communicate with you again after a long break. Just now,while going through my facebook, I came across the following video posted by Nor'ashikin Ali, a PhD student in New Zealand. It depicts how Ruben, an Australian became a Muslim. As I watched the video, I was overwhelmed by emotion and for a while, I couldn't stop tears from rolling down my cheek. So touched! Thanks Shikin for introducing the video.

I thought you, our esteemed guest might want to see this interesting video and share the experience I had. All the best!.

GREEN TEA PROTECTS AGAINST LUNG CANCER

polyphenols found in green tea protects lung

"The health effect of

green tea consumption

could modify the risk of lung cancer,

particularly among smokers,"

said study author I-Hsin Lin,

of Chung Shan Medical University in Taichung.

Drinking a cup of green tea a day might reduce your chances of developing lung cancer—even if you're a smoker, HealthDay reports.

The study suggests that smokers and nonsmokers who consume a minimum of one cup of green tea per day appear to have a nearly 13-fold and 5-fold lower risk, respectively, for developing lung cancer than smokers and nonsmokers who don't drink any green tea.

Meanwhile, Norman Edelman, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association, insisted that smokers should not use green tea—a strong antioxidant—as an excuse for continuing the habit.

BIG BUMS AND THIGHS CAN BE HEALTHY

2010-01-12T23:23:00.002+08:00

Singer Jennifer Lopez has topped
attractiveness polls with her curves

"Fat around the
hips and thighs is good
for you but
around the tummy is bad."
said Dr Konstantinos Manolopoulos
of Oxford University

Extra padding in the hips, buttocks and thighs is healthy and protects against heart and metabolic problems, according to British researchers.

A study published in this month's International Journal of Obesity says fat in the hips mops up harmful fatty acids and contains an anti-inflammatory agent that stops arteries from clogging, according to the report.

Lead researcher Dr Konstantinos Manolopoulos, of Oxford University, said: "It is shape that matters and where the fat gathers.", BBC reports.

2009-12-09T22:49:00.004+08:00

"This new technology
can expedite diagnosis and
therefore, treatment," Dr. Choudhri said.

Its really amazing to know that:

Acute appendicitis can be accurately diagnosed from a remote location by a radiologist using an iPhone.

OsiriX, a special software allows the reader to view raw clinical image data in full resolution.

This technology has the potential to expedite emergency room care when consultation with a specialist is needed.

Gizmodo reported that a new iPhone app called Blower that uses its speaker to blow air. No peripherals, no attachments.

The developers say that you can use it to "blow out candles, herbs, and refresh your skin during hot summer nights."

TIGER WOODS WON AUSTRALIAN MASTERS

2009-11-16T10:45:00.003+08:00

"I felt this was

a tricky golf course
in a sense.
It's not overly long but
you can hit marginal shots
and have them in pretty bad spots,"
said Tiger woods .

I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch over tv live the moments world No. 1 Tiger woods got his maiden victory on Australian soil at Kingston Heath. He won JBWere Masters with a 2-under 274 score, two shorts over Greg Charmers.

Though Woods had to share the lead at the end of the third round with two others, his magnificant performance in the final round had earned him a golden jacket, a trophy, a $250,000 cheque plus a $3 million appearance fees.

Despite of this hefty appreance fees, the money appeared to pay off as 25,000 fans packed the course each day, lining the fairways and circling the greens to follow the world No. 1. It was reported that the collection from this event is more than the expected amount ie. $A19 million.

" This has been absolutely phenomenal," Woods said during the trophy presentation. " I'm sorry it took me so long to get back." Tiger promised to come back to defend his title at Victoria Golf Club next year.

THE PERILS OF TEXT MESSAGING

2009-11-05T14:13:00.008+08:00

Texting may allure problems...

Fort Lauderdale
Family Law Attorney
Advises Clients
to Avoid Texting Marital,
Extra-Marital or Negotiation Details -
Or Risk Texts Becoming Evidence,



The above advice comes from Barry I. Finkel, partner in The Law
Office of Berry I. finkel P. A. as reported by Reuters.
 
"In the age of digital communications, there now are three sides
to every divorce story: His, hers, and what's being stored by the
phone company."

"Digital communications, like email, instant messaging and
increasingly text messaging using a wireless phone, has opened
new lines of communication between people. This includes
couples facing divorce. While email and IM are commonly used,
most should be wary of texting. Why? Many people who text often
will message their spouse, friends or even a lover with whom
they're having an affair, revealing intentions, intimate details and
negotiation strategies."

"Such conversations can become evidence in the mediation or
courtroom setting. Yet, hitting "Delete" isn't enough to erase the
conversation. The phone company often retains records of text
conversations for up to 30 days. In a divorce scenario, those records
can be requested or subpoenaed into evidence."

MIRINAE HITS PHILIPPINES, LEAVING 14 DEAD

Typhoon Mirinae hit Philippines and on the way to
Vietnam . Image source:NMOC*

"We saw many
shanty-type houses
that had been washed away
and residents frantically try to get
hold of their household material,"said
videographer James Reynolds

I feel very sad to have heard news of natural disasters which have occurred lately in several neighboring countries.

The latest incident was that the main island of Luzon, Philippines was hit by typhoon Mirinae on early Saturday morning resulting in at least 14 people dead, toppling trees and damaging more than 5,500 houses with fierce winds.

Mirinae was the fourth storm to lash Philippines in a month. Since late September, typhoons Ketsana, Parma and Lupit combined killed more than 850 people, with Ketsana delivering the Philippines heaviest rainfall in 40 years. 87,000 people are still living in evacuation centers, officials said.

The storm headed out over the South China Sea and was swirling 279 miles (450 kilometers) southwest of Manila early today but could still bring rains and thunderstorms to western Palawan province, forecasters said.

It was expected to strike Vietnam's central coast around noon Monday.

I would like to convey my deepest sympathies and condolences to the people of Philippines for the mishaps and miseries they are suffering. Meanwhile, I hope Mirinae will bring less hardship to the people of Vietnam.

JESSICA'S AROUND THE WORLD VOYAGE

2009-10-30T16:09:00.008+08:00

Jessica Watson on Ella's Pink Lady taken on 24 October

"We're making

the most of the wind

and loving the good progress

while it lasts." said Jessica Watson

Jessica's saga to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe non-stop and unassisted has been narrated in our posting 'Schoolgirl To Set World Record' on 19 October 2009.

This posting attempts to update briefly Jessica's experience and achievement thus far.

It has been twelve days since Jessica Watson set sail from Sydney harbor on her voyage around the world which will take about eight months.

Jessica is doing great and has passed 1,000 nautical miles mark of her 23,000 miles journey. She has left Tasman behind and now heading towards Fiji, Samoa and Line Islands which include Christmas Island at the Equator before turning south to South America.

Jessica is an excellent author. She writes almost everyday in her blog describing her feelings, routine, chores and experience sailing solo. For example, she described about her unexpected visitors, "When it got light this morning I did my usual check around Ella's Pink Lady to find a whole lot of little squid lying on the deck where they'd clearly got stuck after jumping on board during the night..."

When answering question on what it's like at night out there, she said, " I think a lot of people get goose bumps when they think about being out here all by themself because I think most people imagine it to be like a night in the suburbs all quiet and eerie. But it’s not like that at all. Firstly, because there's the constant noise and motion of the boat. Then there's the waves and wind for company! On a clear night the stars are pretty amazing ...."

Despite being just about two weeks into her solo voyage, Jessica Watson has already captured the interest and imagination of the world audience, with over 400,000 hits per day on her websites and thousands of comments on her blog. These comments include ours which were sent on 24 and 29 October 2009, one of them is as follows:

Since you are special, I have posted your saga in my blog dated 19 October.

My daughter Iva in London, son Dr Izad in Ireland, Iza, Idlan, my wife and I in Malaysia pray for your safety and successful voyage. Amen.
