In A Medical Miracle, Shanghai Driver Donates His Stem Cells To A 7-Year-Old Boy In The UK

A driver from Shanghai, China is donating his stem cells to a 7-year-old boy in the UK, in what is being seen as a medical miracle

A match between someone living inside China and another living outside China's borders is particularly rare, explains Dr Zhang Yi from the Shanghai division of the Chinese Red Cross, the organisation managing the donation."There are fewer people of Chinese origin in European and American countries, so most matches are within China," says Dr Zhang. "We have found only 320 matches using the Shanghai database, out of 13,700 potential donors."

        bbc.com

His name is Jiang Yongfeng. He works as a driver for the Shanghai government. Jiang registered for a stem cell drive through his workplace, not imagining that it would serve too much purpose.

But soon, he was told that his stem cells had matched, to a little boy in UK. Jiang agreed to the donation without any hesitation.

"I was very surprised. I was so excited to get a match so soon. Fate was knocking on my door," he says. "When I learned the boy was only born in 2007, I was even more confident I made the right decision."

        bbc.com

The donation experience was relatively painless for Jiang

Some are still required to donate stem cells by extracting bone marrow, a more complex procedure that uses a needle to withdraw cells in the marrow directly from a donor's pelvic bone. However, Mr Jiang was able to use a different method that extracts cells using a lengthy blood transfusion. He flew to Beijing a few days before the procedure to receive injections into his blood that would "activate" the stem cells.He was then hooked up to a transfusion machine for three hours, while the healthy stem cells were extracted from his blood system. It's unlikely that Mr Jiang will experience any negative health effects from the procedure.

        bbc.com

While Jiang is the 11th donor of stem cells from Shanghai to donate for a foreign patient, he is the first for a British citizen

Those needing stem cell transplants to treat cancer or other immune diseases must find a donor with near identical genes. In reality, that means the matched pair must have the same ethnic background so the immune cells of the donor and recipient work in tandem.That small percentage makes the long-distance match between Jiang Yongfeng and the little boy something akin to a medical miracle.

        bbc.com

The little boy receiving Jiang's donation is of Chinese heritage

The boy who will get the donation is from a Chinese family. Luckily, Mr Jiang gave a saliva sample so that he could sign up for the stem cell registry. Very few Chinese are in the list of donors.Even though the Chinese constitute 20% of the world's population, just 4% on the global stem cell registry are of that origin, explains the OtherHalf Chinese Stem Cell Initiative.

        newseveryday.com

Does Jiang mind that he doesn't even know the little boy's name?

He shrugged and said: "No. I just want the procedure to be done as soon as possible so they can send my cells back to the UK and help the little kid recover as soon as possible," reports BBC."I hope he can be brave and strong and he can live a good life."

Harga Minyak Melonjak 40%, Dua Syarikat Penerbangan Malaysia Dijangka Naikkan Tambang

Sejak setahun lalu, harga minyak telah melonjak 40 peratus kepada AS$73 setong

Oleh itu, dua syarikat penerbangan terbesar negara dijangka akan menaikkan tambang disebabkan oleh peningkatan harga minyak yang menambah kos.Dua syarikat itu adalah Malaysia Airlines dan AirAsia Group Bhd seperti yang diramal oleh firma penyelidikan ekuiti pengangkutan Asia., Crucial Perspective.

Image via amazonaws.com

CEO Crucial Perspective, Corrine Png menjangkakan kedua-dua syarikat penerbangan itu bakal menaikkan tambang sekurang-kurangnya 10 peratus

"Sudah pasti syarikat penerbangan perlu menaikkan tambang untuk memindahkan kos bahan api lebih tinggi kepada pelanggan memandangkan harga bahan api pesawat meningkat sebanyak 33 peratus tahun ini."Namun, kemampuan untuk melaksanakannya secara berkesan akan bergantung kepada permintaan dan bekalan industri, selain bagaimana syarikat penerbangan pesaing lain bertindak," katanya kepada Berita Harian.

Png berkata risiko keuntungan akan susut mendadak jika syarikat penerbangan tidak melakukan sedemikian

Png berkata, AirAsia dan Malaysia Airlines akan 'menguji' terlebih dulu dengan menaikkan purata tambang masing-masing sebanyak lima peratus atau melaksanakan surcaj bahan api sebagai item berasingan."Syarikat penerbangan akan kehilangan sebahagian daripada trafik pelancongan yang sensitif ke atas harga, namun kami tidak menjangkakan trafik berkaitan perniagaan akan terjejas," katanya.

Anak syarikat tambang rendah Singapore Airlines, Scoot sudah pun mengumumkan tentang kenaikan tambang sebanyak lima peratus secara purata

Image via businessinsider.sg

Kenaikan itu, yang berkuat kuasa 1 September ini akan menambah antara S$5 hingga S$30 (RM14.91 hingga RM89.46) kepada kos setiap perjalanan sehala bergantung kepada tempoh penerbangan.

Sementara itu, AirAsia berkata ia akan menyemak tambang berdasarkan beberapa faktor termasuk harga minyak

"Kami telah membina daya tahan yang tinggi di dalam perniagaan dengan menjadi sangat berdisiplin dari segi kos bukan bahan api dan yakin mempunyai kemampuan mencukupi untuk menangani sebarang perubahan harga minyak," kata seorang jurucakapnya.

10 Sebab Mengapa Perjuangan Hak LGBT Harus Disokong

Artikel ini dipetik daripada tulisan Ahmad Mustaqim Zolkafali di laman web jalurgemilang.my

Golongan LGBT merupakan sebahagian kecil kelompok masyarakat yang tinggal di negara kita, negara Malaysia yang tercinta

Meskipun agama, budaya dan moral menolak amalan mereka, namun terdapat hak-hak yang dimiliki oleh kelompok ini yang harus dihormati dan diperjuangkan oleh semua golongan.Terdapat 10 hak golongan LGBT iaitu:

1. Hak sebagai individu

Image via loewshotelsblog.com

Sebagai seorang individu yang berjiwa bebas dan merdeka, seorang LGBT mempunyai kebebasan hak untuk memasang niat berhijrah kemudian berusaha sedikit demi sedikit memperbaiki diri seterusnya meninggalkan dunia LGBT.

2. Hak sosial

Image via www.dailymail.co.uk

Golongan LGBT harus tahu bahawa mereka mempunyai hak untuk tidak sesekali disisihkan oleh masyarakat selagi mana mereka mempunyai iltizam yang kuat untuk berubah dan kembali kepada fitrah.

3. Hak terhadap agama

Image via www.religionnews.com

Mereka mempunyai hak untuk menikmati perasaan bertuhan dan merasai kasih sayang Tuhan, serta kembali dengan cara hidup yang dianjurkan oleh agama.

4. Hak terhadap undang-undang

Image via www.themalaymailonline.com

Seorang LGBT yang merupakan sebahagian daripada rakyat Malaysia juga mempunyai hak untuk berpegang teguh pada prinsip-prinsip Rukun Negara. Antara yang terkandung dalam Rukun Negara adalah Keluhuran Perlembagaan dan Kedaulatan Undang-Undang.Memandangkan undang-undang di Malaysia tidak mengiktiraf perkahwinan sama jenis serta tidak mengiktiraf ‘third gender’, maka seorang LGBT yang mulia dan mencintai negara akan berusaha berubah ke arah gaya hidup sihat dan normal.

5. Hak mendapatkan rawatan dan bimbingan

Image via Reuters/Samsul Said

Seorang LGBT juga berhak mendapatkan rawatan dan bimbingan daripada ahli psikologi, pakar psikiatri dan kaunselor untuk kembali kepada kehidupan yang lebih sejahtera. Hak ini sesekalipun tidak boleh dinafikan.

6. Hak asasi manusia

Image via news.asiaone.com

Mereka juga tidak boleh ditindas dan dizalimi hanya kerana mereka LGBT, contohnya diberhentikan kerja atau dicederakan disebabkan naluri songsang mereka. Sebaliknya, tindakan tatatertib dan hukuman perlu dilakukan mengikut lunas undang-undang disebabkan perlakuan songsang mereka (berdasarkan bukti). Hukuman tidak boleh dijatuhkan disebabkan naluri mereka atau apatah lagi sangkaan-sangkaan yang tidak dibuktikan menerusi undang-undang.

7. Hak mendapatkan pendidikan agama

Image via www.unisza.edu.my

Golongan LGBT juga berhak mendapat bimbingan, nasihat dan didikan (tarbiyyah) dari ahli dakwah serta para assatizah. Kata-kata nista berbentuk celaan, cacian dan cercaan tanpa bimbingan dan didikan hanya akan menyebabkan golongan tersebut menjadi semakin jauh dgn fitrah.Diri mereka harus dikasihi meskipun perlakuan mereka tidak dipersetujui. Maka, hak tarbiyyah, bimbingan dan nasihat tersebut amat penting bagi meyelesaikan kemelut mereka.

8. Hak terhadap media

Erin atau nama sebenar Mohd Khairiri Ramli adalah salah seorang golongan LGBT yang telah kembali ke pangkal jalan.
Image via SAYS

Media harus mengangkat golongan atau tokoh-tokoh LGBT yang telah bertaubat atau berjaya berubah seperti salah seorang bekas mak nyah yang kini menjadi seorang guru dan pendakwah hebat dan berjaya membimbing dan menimbulkan keinginan terhadap insan-insan LGBT untuk kembali berubah.

9. Hak terhadap keluarga

Image via www.ibtimes.co.uk

Mereka berhak mendapat kasih sayang dari ibu bapa, adik beradik dan kaum keluarga tanpa disisihkan. Kekurangan kasih sayang dari bapa menjadi antara faktor penyumbang kepada masalah LGBT. Maka selepas benar-benar berhijrah, bekas LGBT mempunyai hak untuk membina kehidupan berkeluarga, dan hidup bahagia dengan menjalani gaya hidup yang sihat.

10. Hak dalam politik

Image via www.cosmopolitan.com

Segala bentuk amalan songsang daripada gejala LGBT, tidak wajar dijadikan alat bagi menjatuhkan mana-mana pesaing politik. Segala bentuk amalan politik kotor dan fitnah dituntut untuk diubah kepada politik matang dan politik nilai. Sebagaimana masyarakat mendesak golongan LGBT untuk berubah, masyarakat sendiri perlu berubah ke arah memacu politik yang lebih sejahtera.

A Taiwanese Husband Divorced His Wife Because She Only Bathed Once A Year

A Taiwanese man has filed for divorce, claiming that his wife bathes only once a year, subjecting him to a form of "psychological torture"

According to a report in Shanghaiist, the wife's habit of taking a bath only once a year was preventing them from having sex and starting a family.The situation wasn't bad when they were dating, the man claimed. She would bath once a week, however, after they got married, things got worse. A decade later, the wife stopped bathing weekly and would only take a shower once a year.Allegedly, the wife's once a year bathe routine would take six hours.

He also claimed that his wife discouraged him from having a job

The wife wanted him to stay home and help take care of her sick father. Because none of them worked, the couple was reliant on her mother for money.However, back in 2015, the husband finally decided to move out of the house. He found a job in Hsinchu in northern Taiwan but kept it hidden from his wife.The wife, when she found out after a month that he was working in another city, demanded that he quit his job and come back home.

Following the wife's demand that he quit his job in another city and move back in, the husband started divorce proceedings

The wife, however, has denied her husband's allegations. The court, noting that the couple had already been separated for two years, granted the divorce.

In case you're wondering what happens if you don't bathe for an entire year, this short video helpfully lists down the 'side effects":

Speaking of Taiwan, about a week ago, the Supreme Court of Taiwan ordered a son to pay his mother an "upbringing fee":

Apple And Facebook Are Paying USD20K To Freeze Eggs Of Their Female Employees

While Google might have nap pods and Googlers may be extremely well fed, Apple and Facebook, starting January 2015, will pay up to USD20,000 to cover the cost of egg freezing for their female employees, according to several media reports

Image via nymag.com

Facebook and Apple have both announced an uncommon program to help their women employees lean all the way in. The tech giants will now cover the cost of egg-freezing treatments for women (and their male partners) who want to delay their family plans in favor of advancing their careers.

        forbes.com

The procedure is called oocyte cryopreservation

Image via bwbx.io

The procedure essentially extends a woman’s years of fertility, by extracting viable eggs to be stored and reinserted into her uterus when she’s ready—even if that time comes well into her 40s.

        qz.com

The procedure involves harvesting a woman’s eggs while they are still viable and storing them in freezers until a woman decides to get pregnant, should she face a harder time years later when fertility may be more of a challenge.

        financialpost.com

The procedure costs around US$10,000 per round, and often two rounds are required, as well as about US$500 a year for storage. Both companies are reportedly offering to cover up to US$20,000 per employee but are offering the benefit only to their American employees.

        qz.com

No doubt, the procedure is viewed by many as a luxury—in part because it's expensive—but is it a perk?

Joan C. Williams, founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law
Image via uchastings.edu

But while the egg-freezing service may seem both a canny solution and an alluring perk, some advocates for women in the workplace are worried about the potential message it sends. Namely: If you want to have children now, then you apparently aren’t making your Silicon Valley career a top priority.

        financialpost.com

“If women want this, I think it’s great that the companies are offering it. The worry is that it could be accompanied by a message that it’s not a responsible time to get pregnant,” said Joan C. Williams, founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at University of California’s Hastings College of the Law

        financialpost.com

“And when you do [get pregnant], you obviously are making a choice that signals you’re not serious about your career.”

        financialpost.com

Alison M. Konrad, the Corus Entertainment Chair In Women and management at the University of Western Ontario's Ivey Business school, said she is concerned about a perk like this becoming a replacement for more family-friendly policies

Alison M. Konrad, the Corus Entertainment Chair In Women and management at the University of Western Ontario’s Ivey Business school, said she is in favour of companies giving their female employees health coverage for all reproductive options, including egg freezing. However, she is concerned about a perk like this becoming a replacement for more family-friendly policies to allow women to better balance their home and work lives, while still progressing in their careers.

        financialpost.com

“If this is gesture is meant to be supportive of work-life balance and people to be present for their families, it’s an odd one,” said Ms. Konrad. “What’s odd to me is we’re offering this ability to postpone the event of having children, as opposed to the ability to be present for children.”

        financialpost.com

Facebook lists the coverage under a "surrogacy benefit" and Apple under their "fertility benefit," but both companies cover up to USD20,000 for the procedure for non-medical reasons. So what is the message here?

Image via qz.com

By helping to give women the choice of putting their biological clocks on the back burner, these companies would seem to be on the forefront of female empowerment. But perhaps equally empowering, if not more so, would be the creation of career tracks that are more amenable to parenthood (and motherhood in particular), along with more generous policies regarding parental leave and childcare. The plans for Facebook’s $120 million, Frank Gehry-designed campus include a doggy daycare, but nothing of the sort for children.

        qz.com

At present, Facebook offers four months of paid leave for new moms and dads alike, a $4,000 cash bonus for new parents to spend as they wish, and subsidies for childcare. Apple’s policies allows expectant mothers to take up to four weeks off before delivery and 14 weeks after. Expectant fathers (and other non-birth parents) get six weeks.

        qz.com

These policies, quite liberal by American standards (pdf), imply that the companies want to create more hospitable professional environments for new parents. With this latest “perk,” are these employers showing themselves to be early adopters of 21st century family planning? Or are they simply telling female employees in prime childbearing years: Don’t do this now.

        qz.com

The move is also good for Apple and Facebook, which are competing to hire and retain women in tech, as the benefit will likely encourage women to stay with their employer longer, cutting down on recruiting and hiring costs

And practically speaking, when women freeze their eggs early, firms may save on pregnancy costs in the long run, said [Lynn Westphal, a Stanford University Medical Center associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology]. A woman could avoid paying to use a donor egg down the road, for example, or undergoing more intensive fertility treatments when she’s ready to have a baby.

Football Zombies (Pt.1): 7 Dangers Football Fans Are Facing This June

Editor's note: The content in this story is for entertainment purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for professional advice

1. Heart attacks

Image via tumblr.com

Football fans are very passionate when it comes to the sport. But some fans take it to heart, literally. In a study done after the Germany World Cup, it was revealed that the number of heart attacks spiked every time the German team played a match!

        bit.ly

2. Traffic accidents

Image via sbnation.com

With the rise in excitement, football fans also experience a rise in testosterone. This makes them more aggressive. And as it turns out, driving under the influence of anger can lead to some unfortunate outcomes.

        bit.ly

3. Depression

Image via minus.com

The higher you get, the harder the fall. And football fans can get really high on their love of the game. Too bad there can be only one winner in a match. Because for some, a loss for their team can lead to actual clinical depression.

        bit.ly

4. Stress

Image via tumblr.com

Oh the suspense of watching your favourite team duke it out on the pitch. Unfortunately, no matter how loud you cheer, you don’t really have any control over the outcome. This has been proven to cause high levels of cortisol, a hormone related to stress, to build up in football fans after a match.

        bit.ly

5. Binging

Image via tumblr.com

When your favourite team loses, you feel like you lost too, right? More so than you think. It also leads to a loss of self-control. And for some, that means saying bye-bye to your diet. A study shows people can consume up to 16% more saturated fats after their team’s loss.

        bit.ly

6. Susceptible to advertising

Image via giphy.com

Don’t think the ads they show during your team’s matches work on you? Well, think again. Turns out the more exciting the match, the more likely fans are to recollect the commercials shown. Maybe not a danger to you, but certainly to your wallet.

        bit.ly

7. Turning into a football zombie

Image via tumblr.com

You might think zombies only exist on film, but they are real. And football fans that watch late night matches are especially at risk. You can spot the football zombies the morning after. They usually  have a dandruff problem and bad body odour.

Man Allegedly Pretends To Be An MCMC Officer To Harass Influencer Cathryn Lee

A man has been arrested by the police for allegedly pretending to be an officer from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to harass influencer Cathryn Lee

The man, named Carrick Tan, posted a photo of himself being handcuffed at a police station in Kuala Lumpur last Thursday, 29 October, saying that he was charged under Section 170 of the Penal Code for impersonating a civil servant.His arrest came after Lee — an actress and fitness model with over 1.7 million followers on Instagram — lodged a police report over Tan's alleged harassment and intimidation.According to Lee's social media post published yesterday, 2 November, Tan first reached out to her by sending a photo of his name card with an 'advisor to a deputy minister' job title. Lee said Tan asked her out for coffee, but she refused, adding that she does not know how the so-called civil servant got her phone number.In an Instagram Story, she said, "[Tan] sent me his name card, photos of him with the minister and some celebrities without a proper self-introduction, and then straight away asked me out for a coffee.""I disliked it and never replied. Then he called me, I did not pick up and he called again on the next day. I blocked him. What a man with bad manners."In a report by China Press, it is learnt that Tan also sent the 31-year-old actress an article about her taking off her clothes.The Instagram Story shows Tan is named as 'Crazy' in Lee's contacts.

However, after Lee posted the Instagram Story, Tan managed to see the post even though it was only shared with her 'Close Friends'

This took her by surprise as Lee only has a few friends and family members in her 'Close Friends' circle on Instagram.It is unknown who among her 'Close Friends' group shared the Instagram Story with Tan, but Tan told SAYS in an interview that it was a film director who shared it with him.Infuriated by the post, Tan said Lee's claims are "fabrication, slander, fake, bullying, arrogant, rude, low-level, and using cunning means"."Have you filed taxes and explained the source of your income clearly? I know exactly how you got your luxury mansion and sports car," Tan responded in a Facebook post."The methods are dirty, indecent, and shameless. It is time for me to take on the duty of the people. Here I officially declare war and seek justice for everyone!"Tan, who runs a production house that produces and invests in films and advertisement, then filed a counter police report against Lee, claiming she had called him 'crazy' and humiliated him in a post that also captured the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (KKMM) logo.

Speaking to SAYS, Tan denied that he impersonated an officer from KKMM, explaining that he is neither connected to the ministry or MCMC

Instead, he told SAYS that he was appointed to be an advisor to Communications and Multimedia Deputy Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin through a direct invite.

Tan shared photos of him at the KKMM office in Kuala Lumpur.

"My salary is paid directly from Zahidi's pocket," Tan said.It was previously reported that Lee's lawyer claimed Tan impersonated a civil servant from MCMC and tried to intimidate their client with authoritative power.When asked about the legitimacy of his name card which bears a KKMM logo, he said the name card is approved by Zahidi and that it is only available in softcopy.He said the reason he sent the name card to Lee, as well as photos of him with celebrities, was to prove to the actress that he is not a random person, but an individual with some background.Tan added that the reason he approached Lee was to investigate a news article on behalf of the ministry that claimed she had taken off her clothes in a video."A few of us at the KKMM office were talking about (the article). We don't think [the video] is right because there are students and people of various religions following her. Many people (in the ministry) don't understand what the news was about," he said.

As of now, Tan is trying to sue Lee for defamation with damages amounting to RM30 million

Under Zahidi's advice, he decided to sue the actress because she was rude and described him as 'crazy'.China Press reported that Tan was supposed to be conferred a Datukship from the Sultan of Pahang, but he lost the opportunity due to the controversy.He said he will sue the actress for RM30 million in damages and the amount could increase depending on how long the issue lasts and what Lee's net worth is.

Previously, Lee was embroiled in controversy for calling M-sized girls fat:

[PHOTOS] How Malaysian Banknotes Have Changed Over The Years

Bank Negara Malaysia, Malaysia's central bank, first started issuing Malaysian banknotes in the 60s

Since then, the currency has gone through several changes in its design.There have  been four main series of banknotes released by Bank Negara.

The first series (released in 1967)

The first series of Malaysian banknotes were issued on 6 June 1967. The notes were in denominations of RM1, RM5, RM10, RM50, and RM100. A RM1,000 note also began to be issued on 2 September 1968.The front of each note features a portrait of Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad, Malaysia's first Yang di-Pertuan Agong while the back featured the Kijang Emas, an official logo of Bank Negara.

Kebiasaannya, kita pasti akan mengeluarkan lauk yang masih keras dari peti ais dan biarkan dalam singki sebelum memasaknya betul tak?

Tujuan kebanyakan orang membuat sebegitu adalah untuk melembutkan ayam, daging atau ikan terlebih dahulu supaya mudah bila nak masak nanti.Namun, sebenarnya cara itu salah dan ia boleh menyebabkan keracunan makanan jika perut kita tidak tahan.Baru-baru ini, seorang doktor berkongsi tentang bagaimana lauk di dalam singki itu boleh mengundang keracunan makanan telah mendapat perhatian ramai.Lihat video penuh itu di bawah:

  @drmalarss Kepada #teamMakMak di luar sana, please defrost ayam cara betul.  Dah banyak sangat kes keracunan makanan lately ni #celotehdrmalar #fyp #fyp #defrost #defrosttiktok  original sound  - Celoteh Dr Malar

Ayam yang dah lembut jadi 'pesta' untuk bakteria membiak

Menerusi perkongsian daripada @drmalarss, kelihatan dia memberitahu bahawa cara yang selama ini digunakan untuk melembutkan lauk dari peti ais sebenarnya bahaya untuk kesihatan kita."Daging atau ayam yang lembut dan banyak air masuk, bila dia berada di luar dalam suhu bilik terutamanya lebih dari empat jam boleh menyebabkan keracunan makanan""Ayam yang lembut tu menjadi rumah atau pun pesta untuk kuman bakteria membiak dan beranak-pinak dekat situ," katanya.Antara kuman yang biasa melekat pada lauk itu adalah salmonella, E. coli dan banyak lagi. Sebab itu kadangkala anak kecil senang terkena cirit-birit walaupun tidak makan di kedai luar.

The 9 Simple Habits Happy People Practice

1. They express gratitude

When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that's without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We're gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren't thankful for what we already have.
Image via blogspot.com

2. They practice random acts of kindness

 Performing an act of kindness releases serotonin in your brain. (Serotonin is a substance that has TREMENDOUS health benefits, including making us feel more blissful.) Selflessly helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside.
Image via truthfrequencyradio.com

3. They nurture social relationships

The happiest people on the planet are the ones who have deep, meaningful relationships. There's a warm fuzzy feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends who you can share your experiences with. We feel connected and a part of something more meaningful than our lonesome existence.
Image via autismspot.com

4. They actively avoid over-thinking and social comparison

Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous. If we're somehow "better" than the person that we're comparing ourselves to, it gives us an unhealthy sense of superiority. Our ego inflates. If we're "worse" than the person that we're comparing ourselves to, we usually discredit the hard work that we've done and dismiss all the progress that we've made. If you feel called to compare yourself to something, compare yourself to an earlier version of yourself.
Image via imgur.com

5. To cope with issues, they develop strategies

Sometimes crap happens -- it's inevitable. Forrest Gump knows the deal. It can be hard to come up with creative solutions in the moment when manure is making its way up toward the fan. It helps to have healthy strategies for coping pre-rehearsed, on-call, and in your arsenal at your disposal.
Image via weaktobeast.com

6. They learn to forgive

 Harboring feelings of hatred is horrible for your well-being. You see, your mind doesn't know the difference between past and present emotion. When you "hate" someone, and you're continuously thinking about it, those negative emotions are toxic for your well-being. You put yourself in a state of suckerism (technical term) and it stays with you throughout your day
Image via eatpray-love.com

7. They savor life's joys

Deep happiness cannot exist without slowing down to enjoy the joy. It's easy in a world of wild stimuli and omnipresent movement to forget to embrace life's enjoyable experiences. When we neglect to appreciate, we rob the moment of its magic.
Image via wordpress.com

8. They take care of their body

Taking care of your body is crucial to being the happiest person you can be. If you don't have your physical energy in good shape, then your mental energy (your focus), your emotional energy (your feelings), and your spiritual energy (your purpose) will all be negatively affected
Image via cloudfront.net

9. They commit to their goals

Being wholeheartedly dedicated to doing something comes fully-equipped with an ineffable force. Magical things start happening when we commit ourselves to doing whatever it takes to get somewhere. When you're fully committed to doing something, you have no choice but to do that thing.

How A FB 'Poke' Became The Reason Behind Two Strangers' Marriage Proposal At The FB HQ

The poke is one of Facebook's most-cryptic features, but for Steve Kawalit and Nafis Joon, a simple poke seven years ago was the catalyst for their recent engagement

Nafis Joon and Steve Kawalit
Image via ubergizmo.com

It's a love story for the social media generation:

He pushes the poke button in 2007, giving her a digital nudge to convey his existence. She responds and they mingle online.

        huffingtonpost.ca

They meet in person for the first time over coffee in Toronto, Canada, where they both live.

        go.com

Flash-forward to 2014 and the two are madly in love. They just won a contest to tour Facebook headquarters — or so she thinks.

They arrive at the company's campus in Menlo Park, California, last Monday, June 23. He knows he's going to propose to her. She has no clue.

        mashable.com

And so begins the tour, one he orchestrated with Facebook so he could pull off the surprise marriage proposal. They pose for photos. A photographer tells her to turn around.

Steve Kawalit, 32, proposes to Nafis Joon, 31, at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California, on June 23.
Image via mshcdn.com

She gasps loudly, seeing a big screen emblazoned with, "Nafis, will you marry me?"
"Of course! Aw, yeah," she replies after he gets on his knees, looks up and pops the question, adding: "People ask us how we met, we say 'mutual friends' and today you meet your mutual friends," Kawalit said while on one knee, pointing to the strangers around him.

        ubergizmo.com

Soon, out of nowhere and to their amazement, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg sneak up on the couple to congratulate them

Image via huffpost.com

"It's like a dream," Kawalit told Mashable on Thursday. "To think that a 2004 project in a Harvard dorm room would have such a large impact on our lives is crazy. Facebook is essential to our story so I thought it was only fitting that we open a new chapter of our lives with Mark and Sheryl's blessings."

        mashable.com

Nafis Joon posted a video of the 23 June proposal. WATCH:

"I don’t want to say offline-dating is a dying art, and I would hate to see that," Kawalit said, "but you can’t deny the hectic pace of life and our reliance on technology for the every day, including real world relationships. I feel like our story is becoming the norm. Facebook complemented our efforts to obtain a meaningful face-to-face relationship."

"Jangan Sentuh, Batal Wuduk Si Jenazah Nanti" - Lelaki Ini Kongsi Hukum Cium Jenazah

Perasaan kehilangan orang yang tersayang, lebih-lebih lagi teman hidup yang telah bersama kita selama berpuluhan tahun lamanya sesungguhnya amat perit

Image via viva.co.id

Namun begitu, kita hendaklah sentiasa reda untuk merelakan pemergian mereka. Kerana setiap manusia pasti akan kembali kepadaNya tidak kira lambat atau cepat.Dan setiap yang pergi juga, pasti akan diberi penghormatan terakhir oleh ahli keluarga dan rakan-rakan. Waktu inilah jenazah akan dimandikan dan disolatkan sebelum dikembalikan ke dalam tanah buat selama-lamanya.

Pernah tak anda terfikir, adakah terbatal wuduk si mati apabila bersentuhan dengan ahli keluarga yang berlainan jantina?

Maklumlah, tiada siapa yang ingin melepaskan peluang memberi kucupan terakhir kepada orang tersayang sebelum mereka ditanam. Itu sudah menjadi lumrah.Tetapi persoalannya, adakah wuduk si mati akan terbatal? Atau bagaimana?Seorang lelaki di Twitter yang dikenali sebagai Serban Putih berkongsi tentang hukum sebenar mengenai perkara ini yang semua orang wajib tahu. Baca di bawah:

Setelah selesai dimandi dan dikafankan, wajah arwah suaminya kelihatan bercahaya seperti sedang tidur

Image via Twitter @_serbanputih

“Jangan sentuh. Batal wuduk si jenazah nanti”

Anak wanita itu berkata bahawa pakcik itu sudah salah faham mengenai hukum sebenar kerana hukum itu hanya buat mereka yang masih hidup

Image via Twitter @_serbanputih

Perkara ini merupakan salah faham yang wujud dikalangan masyarakat. Sebab itu anda perlu melakukan kajian tentang perkara seperti ini untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan.

This Man Tried To Steal A Gold Chain But Forgot That The Staff Can Auto-Lock The Door

A 27-year-old man in Thailand who recently tried to steal a gold chain from a store was forced to learn a very hard lesson

Image via Dailynews Online

Suphachai Panthong was caught on CCTV walking into a jewellery shop in Chonburi, Thailand looking for a new chain to wear last Friday, 30 November, reported Pattayaone News.

Thinking he had a brilliant plan, the thief decided to try on one of the gold chains and sprint out of the store wearing it

Image via Dailynews Online

But he was out-smarted by the store owner

41-year-old owner Jarae Nitikarun had auto-locked the door remotely preventing Panthong from escaping.

Image via New York Post

In his short walk of shame, the thief was seen trudging back to the counter with a sheepish smile and returning the gold chain to the owner before waiting for police to arrive.

Panthong later confessed to the cops that he was recently terminated from his job at a factory and was struggling to find other sources of income

"I arrived on a motorcycle and walked into the shop. I didn't have any weapons. I just wanted to make extra money because I lost my job recently," he said, reported Daily Mail.He is now facing multiple charges and potentially several years in jail.

Lelaki Perlu Sabar, Inilah Ujian Untuk Suami Bila Isteri 'Datang Bulan'

Hidup bergelar suami isteri memang akan banyak ujian yang perlu dilalui. Tanggungjawab yang digalas sebagai seorang suami mahupun isteri bukanlah satu tugas yang mudah.

Oleh itu, ia bukanlah sesuatu yang pelik jika kadang-kadang pertengkaran boleh berlaku. Sedangkan lidah lagikan tergigit, inikan pula suami siteri. Begitulah umpama asam garam dalam perkahwinan. Hatta perihal kecil pun kadang-kadang boleh jadi perkara yang besar.Lagi-lagi sewaktu isteri sedang 'bercuti'. Waktu ini emosi mereka memang tak stabil. Semua benda tak kena pada mereka.

Image via magazine.foxnews.com

Jadi, apabila jadi begini, apa yang seharusnya kaum suami lakukan? Mari kita dengar cerita dan nasihat dari saudara bernama Ammar Kamilin ini. Semoga kaum suami dapat hadam dengan baik. =)

Isnin itu,Sebelum subuh dia sudah mula ‘bersilat’ di dapur. Bunyi air pili mengalir ke singki tak putus-putus dari tadi. Tanda banyaknya pinggan dan cawan tidak berbasuh yang ditinggalkan anak-anak malam tadi.Sudah jenuh dipesan, ada masa berkesan, kebanyakan masa tak ‘jalan’.Masing-masing ada ‘misi pagi’. Dia dengan urusan dapur. Memastikan anak-anak mendapat bekalan ‘air tangan’ setiap hari.Saya dengan urusan ‘perkucingan’. Memastikan ‘anak-anak bulu’ mendapat bekalan makanan mencukupi dan lokasi ‘penyahtinjaan’ sedia bersih.Ikutkan hati, tak larat dah. Tetapi setiap pagi menguruskan sisa kumbahan, memberi kesan yang agak signifikan kepada ‘ketundukan hati’.Selalu saja ada bisikan, ‘Padan muka kau, kau rasa kau hebat? Setiap pagi jadi abdi kucing-kucing ni. Mereka yang membuang, kau yang kutip.’ Rendah diri rasanya. Dengan kucing pun kalah.Belek-belek mengemaskan beg kerja. Baru perasan bekas makanan hari Jumaat lupa nak dikeluarkan dari dalam beg.Allah! Cepat-cepat keluarkan dan bawa ke dapur.

        facebook.com

Baru saja mahu letakkan bekas makanan ke dalam singki, isteri merungut, “Bang, macam mana nak cakap dengan Iman ye. Petang Jumaat hari tu lagi dah ingatkan. Balik sekolah, keluarkan ‘lunchbox’. Basuh.Jenuh cari mana ‘lunchbox’ dia pagi ni. Rupanya tak keluarkan lagi dari dalam beg.”Perlahan-lahan saya mulakan membasuh bekas sendiri.Entah kenapa, telinga saya yang berdesing. Sungguh itu cerita Iman. Tapi nampaknya saling tak tumpah dengan perangai abahnya. Kebetulan yang menyakitkan.“Bercakap dengan budak, memang perlu berulang-ulang. Tak boleh harap dengan sekali cakap, terus dia akan ikut. Manusia ni mudah lupa.Itu sebabnya, Al-Quran pun ada ayat peringatan yang berulang-ulang. Dibaca selalu untuk ingatkan kita.”Dia hanya diam sambil tangan laju membuka bungkusan mozzarella. Kuali sudah mula panas.“Orang dewasa pun sama. Kita dah pesan jangan letak beg tangan merata-rata. Sangkut dalam bilik. Balik kerja, sofa depan ruang tamu juga tempatnya.”Entah dari mana meluncur laju terlepas dari mulut. Nampaknya telinga yang berdesing tadi mula ‘memuntahkan’ respon buruk.Suasana hening.Dia meneruskan kerja-kerja memasak. Tugas saya seterusnya mengejutkan anak-anak dan membersihkan diri.

        facebook.com

Pagi itu, sebelum bergerak ke tempat kerja, wajahnya tidak seperti biasa. Jelas tiada sinar dalam mata. Ulas bibir melurut semua.Ikut pengalaman, memang ada yang tak kena. Ada sesuatu yang mencabut ceria. Ciuman di tangan tidak sekuat biasa. Pelukan juga cepat-cepat dilepaskan sekadar ada.______Sedang sibuk di meja kerja, Jam 10.07 pagi.‘Salam abang. Ryn minta maaf tau. Mungkin ada stress sikit. Emosi terganggu. Cepat terasa hati.’Teks dihantar melalui whatsapp.Benar apa yang disangka. Dia memang terasa hati. Rasa bersalah pada diri sendiri.Satu, kerana tidak dapat mengawal hati yang terlampau sensitif terus mengeluarkan kata-kata yang menyindir.Dua, kerana tidak segera menurunkan ego meminta maaf apabila sudah tahu terlajak cakap.Jika tidak terus dijawab teks whatsapp ini, maka ini kesalahan ketiga. Melengah-lengahkan kemaafan.‘Abang sentiasa maafkan. Maafkan abang juga.’ Send.Baru hadir ketenangan bekerja pagi itu. Patutlah serba tak kena pagi itu. Boss-boss di pejabat juga seakan ‘angin satu macam’.Baru-baru ini masyarakat dikejutkan dengan ‘gila meroyan’ yang mengorbankan nyawa.Kejadian itu realiti. Penyakit ‘gila meroyan’ itu juga realiti.

        facebook.com

Image via Ammar Kamilin/Facebook

Puncanya?Mengabaikan tanda-tanda awal yang ditunjukkan melalui perubahan tingkah laku dan sikap seorang wanita.Kebanyakan lelaki mungkin lupa, jika ‘gila meroyan’ hanya berlaku pada wanita lepas bersalin, ‘datang bulan’ pula berlaku pada wanita setiap bulan.Perubahan hormon itu sesuatu yang benar-benar ada kesannya. Kesan pada fizikal yang boleh dilihat dan kesan pada psikologi yang samar-samar.Ada wanita, saya pernah lihat masa di kolej dulu, sedang mesyuarat boleh tiba-tiba berguling-guling memegang perut menahan kesakitan.Baru saya tahu, boleh tahap itu kesakitannya. Ada juga yang mengalami sakit-sakit badan dan sakit pinggang.Jika tiba-tiba si isteri menunjukkan tahap sensitiviti yang tinggi atau ‘merapu’, itu tanda-tanda mereka perlukan perhatian.Lebih baik lagi, ketenangan melalui sentuhan dan belaian. Dalam kesakitan dan ketidaktentuan, tiba-tiba dimanjakan, bukankah itu ‘nikmat’ buat mereka.Entah kenapa tiba-tiba saya bercerita kisah ini. Sungguh, luar niche penulisan saya. Mungkin atas rasa mahu menebus kesalahan.Mahu kawan-kawan lelaki atau adik-adik yang baru bercadang untuk berpasangan, tahu dan sedar hakikat fitrah yang Allah ‘embedded’ dalam diri seorang wanita.Lelaki seperti saya, ada juga hormon. ‘Hormon ego’. Ada masa sedar, tetapi hidung tetap mahu ditinggikan.‘Datang bulan’ memang ujian untuk kaum lelaki setiap bulan. Ujian mengukur tahap keprihatinan.

        facebook.com

Image via eylamohd.blogspot.com

Balik petang tu, “Macam mana? Dah ok?” Menyambut beg-beg sekolah anak yang dihulur.“Alhamdulillah.” Melepaskan beg yang berat dan beban emosi yang ditanggung bersama senyum terukir.Saya belajar tiga perkara dari peristiwa ini,1. Sensitif dengan perubahan emosi isteri. Perempuan jika terlepas kata, mungkin disebabkan hormon. Lelaki tenang saja.2. Respon reaktif (segera) mengundang bahaya. Dengar, tarik nafas dalam-dalam. Tenang. Langkah terbaik, terus diam. Diam juga ada makna. Beri masa 10 saat untuk respon.3. Ego merencatkan bahagia. Dalam banyak kegunaan ego manusia, ego dengan isteri adalah sesuatu yang perlu dielakkan.Mana mungkin kita boleh ego pada wanita yang menemani kita tidur setiap malam, malah melahirkan anak kita.#MAKnificent Family Lesson

How A Depressed Goat Became Cheerful After He Was Reunited With His Donkey Best Friend

Mr. G, a goat, and Jellybean, a donkey, were both rescued from a hoarder's home earlier this year and were, for the first time in their lives, separated to live in different animal sanctuaries

Mr. G and Jellybean
Image via eonline.com

For 10 years, a goat named Mr. G and a donkey named Jellybean lived together in neglect "on the property of a woman who could barely care for herself, let alone the dozens of dogs she hoarded and three barnyard animals," Animal Place stated. After the creatures were rescued, the Grass Valley, Calif., organization took in Mr. G, but sent Jellybean off to another sanctuary.

        huffingtonpost.com

And the separation didn't sit well with the goat

Image via eonline.com

Mr. G was given a new home, room to run and lots of love and attention from his handlers. He should have been the happiest goat in the world. Except he wasn't. Mr. G refused to eat and he would just lie in his stall with his head on the ground, barely moving.

        eonline.com

Animal Place staffers were worried that Mr. G was ill, but after health exams they realized that the lonely goat was depressed. He was mourning the loss of his best friend.

Image via eonline.com

Animal Place figured out that Mr. G was in mourning, because he had been separated from his best friend of 10 years, a burro named Jellybean who was also rescued from the hoarding property. Jellybean was taken to a different sanctuary, so Mr. G assumed his friend was gone forever.

        eonline.com

Staff tried every treat, but nothing worked. So a volunteer offered to make the 14-hour round-trip journey to go get Jellybean from the other rescue shelter to reunite Mr. G with his best friend.

Image via eonline.com

Animal Place knew that they had to do something to console the grief-stricken goat, so they made arrangements to relocate Jellybean. The rescue group filmed the big reunion in one irresistibly sweet video.

        today.com

But before Mr. G could even see Jellybean come off the truck, he could hear and smell him, and he instantly perked up. Demonstrating a bond so strong it could break the Internet.

Image via eonline.com

He knew his best friend was back. And for the first time in days, Mr. G was up and moving around.

Image via eonline.com

WATCH: The full video to see what happened next. Just be sure to have a couple of tissues handy.

Animal Place will see to it that the two rescue animals remain permanent residents at the 600-acre sanctuary

Jellybean and Mr. G will spend the rest of their days together.
Image via s-nbcnews.com

These two adorable friends will never be separated again, as Animal Place is keeping both of them as permanent residents at their 600-acre Grass Valley sanctuary.

        eonline.com

"Never doubt the depth of emotions other animals possess," Animal Place wrote. "Mr. G’s grief was as deep and mysterious as a human’s. His joy at reuniting with Jellybean was as beautiful and inspiring as a human’s."

Clueless Guy Proposes To His Girlfriend With… Funeral Flowers?!

A young and hopeful man decided to pop the million dollar question to the girl of his dreams in the worst way possible - with a funeral wreath

Image via Giphy

We can't make this up.

The Chinese man proposed to her girlfriend at a public square where a crowd had gathered to witness the proposal

Image via Shanghaiist

According to Nextshark, the proposal happened in Chongqing University’s City Xi Street on 4 November, Thursday.The man even got his friends to prepare a banner that read, "Min'er (the girl's name), marry me!"

The hopeful man got down on one knee and asked the girl to be his wife before showing off the yellow and red flower wreath

Image via Shanghaiist

Really, dude? Really?!
Image via Shanghaiist

We're pretty sure the crowd knew the clueless boyfriend had blown his chances as soon as he presented the girl with the wreath, which bore the Chinese character "dian" on it in black and white.The word translates as "to pay homage to the dead". Maybe the man was assuming the word meant "till death do us part".

As expected, the girl was bewildered by the proposal and rejected the man

Image via Shanghaiist

Netizens have since mercilessly mocked the guy for his lackluster proposal."What a f*****g idiot, display some originality," recommended one web user. "Tomorrow, dig up a dead body, only then will you be successful," advised another.

Gents, let this be a good reminder. Always, ALWAYS do your research before attempting something major like a proposal, alright?

Image via Photobucket

Well, at least this guy didn't use a funeral wreath to propose. He was smart enough to use a ring made from a wisdom tooth!

                Man Proposes To Girlfriend With Engagement Ring Made From His... Tooth?

Creepy!

Najib Has Decided That Barisan Nasional Will Stay Out Of Chempaka Polls

Image via themalaymailonline.com

Ruling coalition Barisan Nasional will not contest the Chempaka by-election, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today at the Umno supreme council meeting in Kuala Lumpur.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Najib said the decision was also made so the federal government can focus on its flood relief efforts in the east coast state as there are still victims who need help.“We will stay out of the by-election... because we want to focus on the rehabilitation and reparation works as the efforts are still in process. There are also those who have yet to receive aide so this is a priority.“Secondly, we also consider that we look into efforts to unite the ummah (Muslim community) as even if we differ politically unity is important,” Najib told reporters after chairing Umno’s supreme council meeting here.

        themalaymailonline.com

Najib said Umno had a precedent of not contesting a by-election, as in the case of the Bukit Gelugor polls in Penang last year that was called following the death of the seat’s Member of Parliament Karpal Singh.

Pandangan saya, BN tak perlu bertanding PRK DUN Cempaka, Kelantan. Tapi BN mesti lawan di PRK Permatang Pauh.— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) February 14, 2015

Yesterday, Kelantan Umno Liaison chairman Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said he personally felt that BN may not necessarily contest in the by-election for the Chempaka state seat.“Usually, whenever there is an election there will be conflicts, disputes, security issues. My personal opinion is that we should avoid splits and disputes, we should focus on the post-flood rehabilitation efforts,” he added.

However, Analysts Say It Is Important For BN To Contest In The State Seat To Remain Relevant

Dr Azmi Hassan, a geostrategist at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, said BN needed to contest in the by-election to give the people an opportunity to express their support.“If the post-flood events are considered, then the Chempaka by-election is the best platform to assess how far the federal government’s aid has been appreciated by the people of Kelantan,” he said when contacted by Bernama here today.

Meanwhile, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) International and Political Studies lecturer Md Shukri Shuib said if BN did not contest, it would be an acknowledgement that PAS had automatic right to the seat “BN should not relinquish its responsibilities as a political party and deny the people the right to vote for who they want to represent them. "BN should not be soft in this matter and not lay down arms even before the fight begins.”
