Prosecutors sought the death penalty for the captain of [Sewol]((http://says.com/my/news/sewol-ferry-timeline-of-events-and-all-you-need-to-know)) that sank in April this year, killing 304 people, most of them teenage students, South Korea's worst peacetime disaster in decades

Lee Joon-seok, 68, has been charged with homicide. The prosecution told the court he should be sentenced to death for failing to carry out his duty, before resting its case in a trial that has taken place amid intense public anger towards the crew.

        theguardian.com

The captain, Lee Jun-seok, 69, “did nothing to help rescue his passengers,” said Park Jae-eok, the chief prosecutor, during a court hearing in this southwestern city.

        nytimes.com

Prosecutors demanded life imprisonment for three other crewmen: the first mate, Kang Won-sik; the second mate, Kim Young-ho; and the chief engineer, Park Gi-ho. They called for 15 to 30 years for 11 other crew members, who faced accidental homicide, criminal negligence and other charges.

        nytimes.com

The captain was among 15 accused of abandoning the sharply listing ferry after telling the passengers to stay put in their cabins. Four, including the captain, face homicide charges.

Prosecutors charged the captain, Lee Joon-seok, and the three crew members with murder, because prosecutors allege the ferry's crew members didn't use the ship's facilities such as life rafts, life vests and announcements to evacuate passengers.

        cnn.com

The captain was filmed being rescued in his underwear on April 16, as the ferry capsized off the South Korean coast. Lee said he was changing clothes and smoking at the time of the incident. He was rescued while hundred remained inside the boat, listening to announcements to stay put. He has apologized to the victims saying his actions were not intentional.

        theguardian.com

In their final argument before a court verdict, expected on 11 November, the prosecutors said:

That the 15 crew members of the 6,825-ton Sewol knew that their ship was sinking and that the passengers were waiting inside after repeated instructions for them to stay put.

        nytimes.com

The crew members boarded the first coast guard boats arriving, the prosecutors said. “They only cared about their own lives,” one prosecutor said before a courtroom packed with 60 relatives of the victims.

        nytimes.com

The Sewol sank off southwestern South Korea on April 16. It was carrying twice as much cargo as legally allowed, and much of the cargo was poorly secured, the prosecutors said. When the crew members, dressed in pea-green jail uniforms, entered the courtroom and bowed toward the family members, some responded by hissing.

        nytimes.com

The lawyers for the captain and three others accused of murder all argued that their clients had no intention of killing the passengers, adding that the crew should not face blame exclusively

Crew members, the lawyers said, were also victims of a greedy ferry operator that had given inadequate safety training and ignored repeated warnings about the overloading and instability of the ship.

        nytimes.com

Many defendants wept during their final statements

“I am sorry. I will repent until the last day of my life,” Mr. Lee, the captain, said in a final statement. “When I look back, I feel nothing but shame.”

        nytimes.com

“I wish I could turn the clock back,” Park Han-gyeol, the third mate, said.

        nytimes.com

The death penalty, as its being sought for the captain, is unusual in South Korea, which has not carried out executions in 17 years

"The death penalty is essentially a mere life sentence," said Jasper Kim, a professor at the Graduate School of International Studies at Ewha University, who has a background in law. He also added that South Korea does not usually sentence convicted criminals to life without parole -- so life sentences usually represent about 20 years or less of imprisonment.

        cnn.com

There have been no executions in South Korea since 1997 despite several death sentences in recent years. It hasn't been used in decades, as a backlash to how it was used in the past for political purposes.

        theguardian.com

It is important to note that the death penalty cannot be carried out in South Korea without a signed order from the country's president

A verdict is due in the trial on Nov. 11, but even if Mr. Lee is given a death sentence, it’s unlikely he’ll be executed. South Korea has a de facto moratorium on the death penalty, with the most recent execution taking place in 1997. In recent years, however, government officials have raised publicly the possibility of resuming executions.

        wsj.com

Kang Wu-ye, a criminal law professor at the Korea Maritime and Ocean University, said the call for the death penalty was unusual and reflected social pressure on the prosecution to seek the maximum punishment for Lee Jun-seok, who has been widely reviled for his role in the tragedy.

These 6 Sunscreens You Can Get Online Won't Burn A Hole In Your Wallet

By far one of the most important steps in your daytime skin care routine is to put on some sunscreen before you head out and brace the unforgiving Malaysian heat

The most significant point of wearing a sunscreen before going out is to protect yourself from ultraviolet (UV) rays which the sun gives off during the day.Even if you plan to stay indoors, you still need to apply sunscreen as you can be exposed to UV rays since it can filter in through open windows or doors.But why are UV rays so harmful to the skin and why do you need to protect yourself with sunscreen? Well, exposure to UV rays is one of the most significant contributors to premature aging of the skin. It can cause leathery skin, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc. UV rays from solar radiation are also considered to be carcinogenic to humans. So, there is a very real possibility of getting skin melanoma, which is a form of skin cancer, if you are exposed to UV rays too much.

Villa Ultra Moden Lagi Rustik Ini Sememangnya ‘Best Kept Secret’ Di Tanjung Malim!

Lihat saja pada gambar ini, terus kami rasa terpegun. Cantik dan sangat cool!

Image via Facebook Ma-Ni Thai Cuisine

Melalui gambar ini, kami dapat tafsirkan 3 perkara yang ada di tempat ini iaitu:1. Tempat penginapan unik = Check2. Taman dengan kerusi santai = Check3. Suasana resort dalam hutan = CheckNampaknya, 3 checklist di atas sudah memadai untuk menjadikan tempat ini kunjungan seterusnya apabila bercuti nanti. Mesti best kalau dapat menginap di sini.

Kami pun mula tertanya-tanya dan mencari di manakah lokasi sebenar vila ini. Tengokkan gaya macam di Bali.

Taman mini dengan kerusi santai di bahagian luar vila.
Image via Facebook Ma-Ni Thai Cuisine

Sebab...Bali memang sangat terkenal dengan penginapan berkonsep vila yang lengkap dengan kolam renang dan reka bentuk yang sangat menarik. Vila di Bali juga kebanyakan agak besar, sesuai untuk diinap oleh seluruh ahli keluarga.

Rupa-rupanya, resort ini diberi nama Ma-Ni Villa yang hanya terletak di Tanjung Malim, Perak iaitu hanya lebih kurang satu jam dari bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Dekat je!

Image via Facebook Ma-Ni Thai Cuisine

Memang dekat, malah ia terletak tidak jauh dari plaza tol Tanjung Malim.Dari Lebuh Raya PLUS, masuk ke simpang Tanjung Malim (exit 121) dan ambil simpang kiri selepas tol. Pandu lebih kurang dalam 2 kilometer, kemudian belok kiri di lampu isyarat (menuju ke Sabak Bernam, route B44). Pandu lagi dalam 1 kilometer dan Ma-Ni Villa berada di sebelah kanan.Kordinat GPS: N 03' 40.142" E 101' 30.884"

Dengan reka bentuk vila empat segi yang elegan, didirikan daripada batu bata berwarna oren, dan dikelilingi dengan kehijauan flora, ia pasti dapat memberi satu pengalaman unik buat setiap pengunjung yang datang ke sini

Walaupun petak, pemilik vila ini tahu bagaimana mahu menjadikan vila ini nampak menarik, iaitu dengan meletakkan glass panel besar di bahagian hadapan yang terus menambah nilai ekstetika serta seni dalam reka bentuknya. Glass panel yang besar ini juga membenarkan kemasukan cahaya secara semula jadi ke dalam vila.Selain itu, ia turut ditambah seri dengan private garden agar pengunjung boleh bersantai bersama teman-teman sambil menikmati udara segar dan suasana permai di luar.

Namun ia turut menyediakan khidmat penginapan di empat vila yang dibina khas - Purple Villa, Green Villa, Yellow Villa, & Orange Villa - di sekitar kawasan restoran

Kalau tengokkan pada Facebook, seluruh kawasan ini diberi nama Ma-Ni Thai Cuisine. Pada mulanya kami pun agak keliru sama ada tempat ini restoran atau vila. Rupa-rupanya kedua-duanya sekali.

Purple Villa.

After 'I Want To Touch A Dog' Event, PAS Youth Leader Asks "What Next, A Sex Fest?"

Following Malaysia's one of its kind event called I Want To Touch A Dog for the curious and eager Muslims on 19 October to overcome their fear of dogs, there has been a massive amount of hue and cry from some Islamic authorities and politicians

Nurul Islam Mohamed Yusof, FT Deputy Chief of PAS Youth, took to social media to put forth his views, saying that there was a valid reason for concern here, especially after events like 'Topless Friday' and 'Oktoberfest' were organised in the country recently

Nurul Islam Mohamed Yusof, deputy chief of PAS Youth, has posted on Facebook, “By organising ‘Topless Tuesday’ at first, followed by the ‘Oktoberfest’, then followed by this ‘I Want to Touch a Dog’ event, we worry that it will be ‘Sex and Condoms’ tomorrow with the rationale of supposedly promoting safe sex in order to prevent HIV/AIDS.”

        freemalaysiatoday.com

He also urged Muslims to raise their understanding of Islamic knowledge within themselves, their families and their communities so as not to be swayed by such campaigns

“Muslims are advised to increase their knowledge of Islam and its appreciation for the self and their families, as well as the society around them. “We hope programmes like the dog-petting event can be prevented sooner in the future,” he added.

        thestar.com.my

“Our stand against such events is because we consider it a threat to the religious and cultural values practiced in this country, and not because we are paranoid,” Nurul Islam said in a statement on Tuesday.

Earlier, Jakim (Islamic Development Department) too lashed out at the organiser and Muslims alike for going against the teachings of Islam and letting their Islamic beliefs be swayed so easily

According to a Bernama report, the director-general of Jakim Othman Mustapha has now declared that the organisers of the “I want to touch a dog” event had evil plans to lead a new “culture” that insulted Islam and would cause “public anxiety, especially among Muslims”. Now demanding a clarification from Syed Azmi Alhabshi, the sole organiser of the event, Jakim isn’t about to drop the issue anytime soon.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

The pressure has been alarming enough to cause the “I want to touch a dog” Facebook page to be hurriedly pulled down, and for Mais (Selangor Islamic Religious Council) to now deny having given its blessings, as claimed by Syed Azmi. According to a news report, Mohd Tamyes Abdul Wahid of Mais said it was MBPJ, the Petaling Jaya City Council, that the matter was referred to, thereby effectively washing their hands off the event, and conveniently dumping MBPJ in the doghouse over it.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

While several senior Islamic clerics have said Muslims are forbidden from touching dogs they are considered "unclean" according to the Shafi'e teachings as practised in the country, former Perlis Mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul, held a differing view

Several senior Islamic clerics, notably Pahang Mufti Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Othman, Selangor Mufti Datuk Tamyes Abdul Wahid and Johor Islamic Religious Council advisor Datuk Nooh Gadut, have said Muslims are forbidden from touching dogs as the animals are considered “unclean” according to the Shafi'e teachings as practised in the country.

        themalaymailonline.com

However, former Perlis Mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul, held a differing view, saying in a recent posting on his Facebook page that Islam allowed Muslims to keep dogs for hunting and protecting purposes, which meant that adherents were not forbidden from touching the animals.

Indonesia Plans To Attract Tourists With Penis Enlargement Massages

Indonesia's Ministry of Health intends to attract tourists to the country with traditional penis enlargement massages

Detik Travel reported that Minister of Health Terawan Agus Putranto said that penis enlargement massage has the potential to draw tourists to visit Indonesia.

He referred to the treatment as a "national asset" during the launch of Indonesia's Health and Fitness Tour Catalogue on Tuesday, 19 November.

Image via Detik Indonesia

The massage is believed to be an alternative treatment to enlarge a person's manhood.
Locally, it is known as Mak Erot.

Terawan said, "We must popularise the idea of traditional medicine for tourism. We have an incredible herbal medicine industry that no one knows about outside Indonesia."

He also added that there are many other cultural gems that have not been explored or exploited because locals take them for granted. However, foreigners will find it intriguing.

The minister also mentioned that tourists would be interested in other natural medicines such as Tongkat Ali and Purwaceng

Tongkat Ali is a herbal supplement used to boost athletic performance and stamina. Meanwhile, Purwaceng is known as the 'Viagra of Java'.

"If we package it correctly, foreigners will be interested," he said.

How A Simple Tongue Piercing Is Letting These Paralysed Patients Drive Wheelchairs

Tongue piercings can be more than just a statement; they can also help those who have lost the use of their arms and legs. Here's how.

A new experimental device is being tested by paralyzed wheelchair users to move around and control other equipment. The magnetic piercing acts like a miniature joystick and could eventually give disabled people with restricted movements much more independence.

        digitaltrends.com

(Georgia Tech)
Image via washingtonpost.com

Key to this wireless system: Users get their tongue pierced with a magnetic stud that resembles jewelry and acts like a joystick, in hopes of offering them more mobility and independence.

        parentherald.com

Research teams from Atlanta and Chicago coordinated by staff at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed the Tongue Drive System, which uses wireless technology to pass communications between the stud piercing and other devices such as a wheelchair or a computer.

        engadget.com

Subjects involved in the trial were either able-bodied or people with tetraplegia

"By the end of the trials, everybody preferred the Tongue Drive System over their current assistive technology," said Joy Bruce, manager of Shepherd Center's Spinal Cord Injury Lab and co-author of the study, according to Science Codex.

        theaustralian.com.au

Image via aol.com

"It allows them to engage their environment in a way that is otherwise not possible for them."

        prpick.com

Researchers reported Wednesday that 11 people paralyzed from the neck down rapidly learned to use the tongue device to pilot their wheelchairs through an obstacle course full of twists and turns, and to operate a computer, too.

        sci-tech-today.com

39-year-old Jason DiSanto who was among the first spinal cord-injured patients to get his tongue pierced for science and try out the system said:

"It's really powerful because it's so intuitive. The first time I did it, people thought I was driving for, like, years."

        sci-tech-today.com

By moving the tongue from side to side, a user can control a wheelchair or digital device

The team of researchers in Atlanta and Chicago put the Tongue Drive System to the test against one of the most widely used assistive technologies, called sip-and-puff, that users operate by breathing into a straw.

        sci-tech-today.com

(Georgia Tech)
Image via washingtonpost.com

Using the tongue, patients operated their wheelchairs a bit faster but just as accurately -- and on average, they performed about three times better on video game-like computer tests, said lead researcher Maysam Ghovanloo, director of Georgia Tech University's bionics lab.

        washingtonpost.com

The research is an early step that allowed use of the device only inside laboratories

Larger studies in real-world conditions are required before the device ever could be sold. And the tongue piercing may be a turn-off for some potential users, the researchers acknowledge.

        tempo.com.ph

But the work is attracting attention from specialists who say there's a big need for more assistive technologies so they can customize care for the severely disabled.

        sci-tech-today.com

Tongue piercings can be more than just a statement; they can also help those who have lost the use of their arms and legs.

"For people who have very limited ability to control a power Relevant Products/Services wheelchair, there aren't that many options," said Dr. Brad Dicianno, a rehabilitation specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center who wasn't involved with the new research. "There is some interesting promise for this tongue control."

        prpick.com

Here's how the actually system works:

A headset detects the tongue's position when the user flicks that magnetic stud. Touch a spot on the right bottom tooth to go right, for example.

        universityherald.com

The headset wirelessly beams that information to a smartphone the user carries. An app then sends the command to move the wheelchair or the computer cursor.

        theaustralian.com.au

(Georgia Tech)
Image via washingtonpost.com

Why the tongue? "It's unobstrusive, easy to use and flexible," said Ghovanloo, a biomedical engineer who created the system and has started a company that is working with Georgia Tech to commercialize it.

        sci-tech-today.com

Most people with spinal cord injuries -- or neurologic diseases that also can paralyze -- still can move the tongue. It doesn't require special concentration. The tongue is pretty tireless.

Tak Perlu Pergi Ke Bank, Ini Cara Untuk Anda Semak Status Bayaran BPN

Kerajaan telah mengumumkan insentif Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) melalui Pakej Ransangan Ekonomi Prihatin Rakyat atau PRIHATIN pada 27 Mac lalu kepada umum

Image via treasury.gov.my

Bantuan tersebut diberikan bagi membantu setiap rakyat Malaysia yang terjejas akibat pandemik Covid-19 yang berlaku sejak Mac lalu.Berikut merupakan kategori mereka yang layak untuk menerima bantuan BPN seperti diumumkan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin:Pendapatan isi rumah sebanyak RM4,000 dan ke bawah - Terima sejumlah RM1,600 dengan dua kali tempoh bayaran.Pendapatan isi rumah RM4,001 sehingga RM8,000 - Terima bantuan sejumlah RM1,000 dengan dua kali tempoh bayaran.Individu bujang yang memperoleh pendapatan RM2,000 ke bawah - Terima bantuan sebanyak RM800 dan dibayar untuk tempoh dua kali.Individu bujang dengan pendapatan RM2,001 hingga RM4,000 - Terima bantuan berjumlah RM500 juga dengan dua kali bayaran.Kesemua pembayaran BPN akan dibuat dalam dua fasa iaitu pada akhir bulan April dan Mei 2020.Berita baik. Bagi bantuan kali ini, selain daripada golongan B40, mereka yang turut akan menerima insentif tersebut adalah golongan M40.

Sudah lebih seminggu memasuki bulan April, pasti ada dalam kalangan anda yang sudah menerima bantuan BPN dan ada juga sebaliknya

Image via the borneo post

Untuk anda yang masih belum mengetahui status pembayaran BPN anda, sila jangan bersusah payah untuk pergi ke mana-mana bank kerana anda boleh melakukannya hanya di hujung jari.Selain menjimatkan masa, cara itu juga mampu mengelakkan diri anda dari terdedah kepada jangkitan wabak Covid-19 yang semakin kritikal pada ketika ini.

Justeru itu, untuk yang mahu menyemak status bayaran BPN anda, ikuti sahaja cara ini:

Image via bpn.hasil.gov.my

1) Pergi ke laman web bpn.hasil.gov.my dan masukkan nombor kad pengenalan anda.2) Kemudian, sila jawab captcha yang diberikan dan tekan butang semak.Diingatkan, untuk anda yang tidak pernah menerima Bantuan Sara Hidup (BSH) sebelum ini, anda perlu membuat permohonan baru untuk memohon BPN di sini.

Image via bantuansarahiduprakyat.com

Jika status permohonan anda diluluskan, anda akan dapat melihat jumlah amaun yang bakal dikreditkan ke dalam akaun iaitu sebanyak RM500, RM800, RM1,000 atau RM1,600.Sekiranya duit sudah berjaya masuk ke dalam akaun, status pada paparan skrin anda adalah seperti contoh gambar di atas.Untuk makluman, bagi fasa pertama pembayaran wang BPN ini, ia didahulukan kepada pemohon yang layak secara automatik iaitu penerima BSH dan juga pembayar cukai sedia ada.Bagi pemohon baru BPN, anda dijangka akan mendapat bayaran penuh pada bulan Mei depan.

Image via imgur.com

Namun begitu, bagi permohonan yang telah lulus namun bayaran belum masuk ke dalam akaun bank, status 'BERJAYA KREDIT' belum wujud dan anda hanya perlu bersabar sehingga wang dimasukkan ke dalam akaun anda ok.

Dalam pada itu ingat, patuhi arahan dan sila duduk di dalam rumah. Teruskan mengikuti perkembangan mengenai Covid-19 hanya di SAYS Seismik!

"Tolong Ajar Weh!" - Netizen Sakit Hati Tengok Orang Korea Potong Durian Macam Potong Epal

Bila bercakap pasal buah durian ini, sama ada you love it, atau you hate it. There's nothing in between.

Bau yang terdapat pada buah durian terlalu kuat sehingga mereka yang tidak menggemarinya membandingkan bau buah itu dengan bau bangkai tikus atau keju basi.

Image via Fried Chillies

Berbeza pula dengan penggemar buah durian yang bukan sahaja sukakan bau buah tersebut bahkan turut merasakan raja bagi segala buah sangat enak kerana mempunyai rasa yang sangat berbeza serta memberi kepuasan yang tersendiri.Buat yang benar-benar gilakan buah durian, pasti akan rasa sedikit 'triggered' tatkala ada yang mengutuk atau merendahkan buah itu.

Image via NST

Mereka yang menyatakan buah itu tidak sedap pun boleh buat penggemar durian sakit hati, apatah lagi apabila melihat ada yang memotong buah tersebut dengan cara yang salah. Sakitnya mata!

Seperti yang berlaku dalam sebuah variety show dari Korea Selatan.

Ada ke patut potong durian macam potong epal/tembikai?

Tular di laman Twitter sedutan episod rancangan 'Law Of The Jungle' yang mana episod kali ini memaparkan pengembaraan beberapa selebriti dari Korea Selatan memasuki hutan belantara di Myeik, Myanmar.Di dalam episod berkenaan, selebriti-selebriti itu berpeluang untuk melihat dan merasai sendiri raja segala buah itu.

Image via Twitter @Tumblrshopmy

Disebabkan asing dengan buah tersebut, selebriti yang terlibat mula melakukan aksi-aksi yang tidak pernah dibuat orang seperti memanjat pokok durian semata-mata untuk menghidu bau dan aroma sebenar buah durian.

Image via Twitter @_nuruliffahh

Tidak cukup dengan itu, cara mereka memotong buah durian membuatkan ramai yang menonton mula menggelengkan kepala.

Image via Twitter @Tumblrshopmy

Adegan-adegan ini sebenarnya telah dikongsikan beberapa pengguna Twitter yang juga merupakan peminat variety show itu.

Lihat adegan penuh di bawah:

Bujang Yang Menetap Di Kuala Lumpur Perlu RM2,700 Untuk Sara Hidup - BNM

Baru-baru ini, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) telah menjelaskan tentang 'gaji untuk hidup' dalam Laporan Kestabilan Kewangan dan Sistem Pembayaran.
BNM telah berkongsikan pendapatan minimum yang diperlukan oleh sesebuah isi rumah untuk sara hidup.

Image via GIPHY

Purata pendapatan bulanan sebanyak RM2,700 di Kuala Lumpur adalah untuk golongan bujang dewasa, RM4,500 bagi pasangan tanpa anak manakala RM6,500 bagi pasangan dengan dua anak. Ini adalah standard yang dinyatakan di dalam laporan.

Gabenor BNM, Tan Sri Muhammad Ibrahim menjelaskan bahawa Kuala Lumpur menjadi penanda aras kerana ia adalah kawasan kos sara hidup paling tinggi di Malaysia diikuti Johor Bahru dan Pulau Pinang

Image via Blogspot

Anggaran kehidupan wajar untuk ketiga-tiga kategori tersebut adalah di bawah pendapatan median di Kuala Lumpur sebanyak RM9,738 dengan 27 peratus isi rumah berpendapatan di bawah gaji kehidupan wajar, lapor Harian Metro.

Lebih 27 peratus isi rumah di Kuala Lumpur kini hidup di bawah paras ‘gaji untuk hidup’ dan kebanyakannya terdiri daripada lepasan sekolah menengah dengan pekerjaan berkemahiran rendah ke sederhana

Image via BNM Annual Report 2017

Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, standard kehidupan minimun adalah lebih daripada sekadar mampu untuk membeli barang keperluan.“Standard kehidupan minimum adalah, purata isi rumah di Kuala Lumpur sepatutnya mampu melawat keluarga dan rakan pada musim perayaan, selain membeli hadiah hari jadi untuk ahli keluarga,” katanya lagi.

Kriteria gaji untuk hidup untuk mereka yang tinggal di Lembah Klang dijadikan panduan bagi pembuat dasar serta majikan mengenai paras minimum standard kehidupan

Image via Blogspot

“Gaji untuk hidup adalah lebih tinggi daripada gaji minimum berkanun kerana ia secara dasarnya berasaskan kos kehidupan,” ujar beliau.

Seorang dewasa bujang perlu memperoleh RM2,700 sebulan untuk menyewa bilik, makan di luar, memasak sekali sekala dan menggunakan pengangkutan awam

Image via BNM Annual Report 2017

Bagi pasangan dengan dua anak, pendapatan minimum RM6,500 diperlukan untuk menyewa pangsapuri tiga bilik, memiliki dua kereta, membayar pusat jagaan kanak-kanak dan kelas tusyen, serta makan di luar pada hujung minggu.

Tiada istilah 'gaji tidak cukup'. Semua ini boleh dicapai dengan niat yang betul. Sentiasa hidup dengan gaya hidup yang sederhana!

Image via GIPHY

Jom bayar saman! Ada diskaun sehingga bulan hadapan!

                JPJ Kini Menawarkan Diskaun Saman & Kompaun Sebanyak 70% Hingga 2 Mei 2018

Cepat bayar, nanti rugi!

4 Important Things You Need To Know About UV Rays In Order To Protect Your Precious Skin

We often underestimate how harmful UV rays can be to our skin

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is an unseen danger that can cause a lot of damage. From various skin conditions, to more serious consequences like skin cancer, it's about time we learned about the dangers of UV ray exposure in order to protect ourselves better!

But first, what are UV rays?

Ultraviolet rays are a product of natural energy produced from the sun. UV light itself has a shorter wavelength than visible light, so you can't see it all. But your skin can definitely feel it! There are two types of UV rays that affect us:1. Ultraviolet A (UVA) is often associated with skin ageing2. Ultraviolet B (UVB) is associated with skin burning, ouch :(

Here are 4 harms of UV rays:

1. UVA rays can penetrate windows and cloud covers

Image via GIPHY

Imagine you're out and about during a blisteringly-hot day. Then you figure that seeking shelter indoors or in a nice air-conditioned car will beat the heat. While that may be the solution to cooling yourself down, it doesn't necessarily mean you're protected from the sun. UVA rays are strong enough to penetrate through windows, umbrellas, and even clouds in the sky during an overcast day.

2. UVB rays are at their most intense from 10am to 4pm

Image via GIPHY

This is especially relevant in tropical countries, where it's basically summer every day. From 10am to 4pm, that's when UV rays reach their peak in terms of severity. A good way to tell when it's time to seek some shade is the Shadow Rule, which states that if your shadow is shorter than you, it's safe to be outside. But when your shadow is taller than you, that's when you know it's time to seek some shade, if at all possible.

3. UVB rays are responsible for most cases of sunburn, since they're more intense than UVA rays

Image via GIPHY

Although UVB rays can't penetrate through glass and other surfaces like UVA can, the 'burn' that you feel is much more intense. Staying indoors, away from the sun, will do you just fine in most cases, but prolonged exposure to UVB does a lot of damage to the skin.The Shadow Rule also applies here, since you don't want to be exposed to the strongest UVB rays during the day.

4. Overexposure to UV rays can also weaken the immune system, which means more trips to the doctor

Image via GIPHY

Every time you're exposed to UV rays, your skin's defences go into overdrive trying to prevent harm from occurring, especially the epidermis, which is the top-most layer. Though your skin does a fantastic job in preventing airborne bacteria from entering your body, it can't prevent 100% of UV rays from doing any damage. With increased exposure to UV radiation, the skin's defences slowly get weaker and weaker, thus rippling the same effects to your immune system.

Thankfully, UNIQLO has your back when it comes to super-stylish clothing that also shields your skin from UV rays, with their UV Protection clothing line

Men's Pocketable UV Protection Parka.

Made from ultra-breathable fabric, the UV Protection clothing line provides a minimum ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 25, which means you can easily go about your day without worrying about any damage being done to your skin! Ranging from UPF 25 to UPF 40, you've got a tonne of fresh, fashionable options for your choosing. Whether you're looking for a light parka, or a smart-looking cardigan, there's definitely something that'll suit your style with UNIQLO's UV Protection clothing line.

UNIQLO's UV Protection line does its job thanks to the incorporation of UV-blocking components into their fabrics, plus the use of material that actually reflects UV radiation, adding an extra layer of protection!

Kisah Di Sebalik Taman Tema 'Rooftop' Pertama Malaysia Yang Telah Ditinggal Lebih 10 tahun

Taman tema air rooftop pertama di Kuala Lumpur, Safari Lagoon membuka pintu kepada para pengunjung 20 tahun yang lalu

Image via Utusan Malaysia

Diangkat sebagai taman tema ketiga terbesar di Asia Tenggara, Safari Lagoon serta-merta menjadi destinasi popular dan hangat untuk percutian seisi keluarga sejak pertama kali dibuka pada tahun 1998.Taman tema yang terletak di Pandan Perdana (sempadan Cheras dan Ampang) ini mendapat perhatian ramai pengunjung kerana kehijauan dan patung zirafah yang dapat dilihat berada di atas bumbung bangunan Pandan Safari Parade.Malah sehingga ke hari ini, sesiapa yang memandu di sepanjang Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2) pasti akan terlihat struktur bangunan warna hijau yang masih berdiri kukuh di tepi jalan.

Image via Google Street View

Keunikan yang ada pada Safari Lagoon - dibina di atas bumbung bangunan tujuh tingkat - menjadikannya begitu tertarik untuk dilawati

Taman tema berkonsepkan 'hutan dalam bandar' ini menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan termasuk gelongsor air, kolam ombak dan taman permainan kanak-kanak.Selain itu, ia menampilkan panorama kehijauan hutan yang dikelilingi unggas dan haiwan bagi mewujudkan suasana yang sama seperti di dalam safari.

Image via Ramlah Ramli / Facebook

Walaupun sangat popular di kalangan pengunjung, terutama penduduk di kawasan Lembah Klang, Safari Lagoon dilanda isu pada tahun 2007.
Satu rahsia besar telah terbongkar: Safari Lagoon telah beroperasi tanpa lesen selama lapan tahun.

Pada tahun 2007, seramai 19 pegawai dan kakitangan Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (MPAJ) diberikan surat tunjuk sebab kerana terdapat unsur kecuaian dalam aspek tanggungjawab berhubung kes di Taman Tema Air Safari Lagoon.Difahamkan bahawa Safari Lagoon telah diperintah tutup pada tahun 2005. Walau bagaimanapun, pintu taman air kekal terbuka kepada pelawat selama dua tahun lagi, dengan MPAJ gagal mengambil tindakan terhadap operator.

Operasi haram Safari Lagoon mula terbongkar pada Januari 2007 selepas berlaku satu kemalangan aneh

Dilaporkan bahawa salah seorang pekerjanya mati lemas akibat terperangkap dalam penyedut air tekanan tinggi. Pekerja itu dilaporkan maut ketika cuba mengambil barang yang ditinggalkan oleh pengunjung.

Sejak daripada itu, Safari Lagoon tidak pernah pulih dari kontroversi tersebut.
Ia kemudian ditutup dan tapak taman tema itu dibiarkan terbengkalai dalam keadaan usang sehingga kini.

Pada satu masa, sebahagian ruang atas bumbung itu diambil oleh Restoran Anjung Kayangan Steamboat & Seafood. Bagaimanapun, restoran itu tidak bertahan lama dan akhirnya ditutup.Hari ini, bukan setakat taman tema Safari Lagoon yang terbengkalai, tetapi seluruh bangunan juga tidak berpenghuni dan usang.Malah, Kompleks Beli-Belah Pandan Safari ini dilanda beberapa lagi kontroversi lain sejak kebelakangan ini.

Keadaan taman tema yang terbengkalai menimbulkan perasaan ingin tahu buat segelintir pengunjung.

4 Tips Paling Penting Anda Wajib Tahu Apabila Memilih Ayam. Barulah Tak Rugi!

Ayam sememangnya pilihan yang paling popular di Malaysia kerana cara masakannya yang mudah dan rasanya yang bersesuaian dengan cita rasa orang ramai

Image via Seismik Makan

Tetapi kebanyakan orang masih tidak tahu cara-cara memilih ayam yang segar. Sebelum ini, kami sudah memperkenalkan cara-cara memilih ikan. Jika anda ingin mengetahui cara-cara memilih ayam, teruskan membaca!

Ikuti 4 tips memilih ayam yang segar di bawah:

1. Perhatikan warna daging ayam

Image via Getty Images (diedit oleh Seismik Makan)

Apabila membeli ayam, perhatikan warna di semua bahagian termasuk di paha dan di bawah kepak juga. Ayam yang segar akan mempunyai daging berwarna kemerah-merahan. Manakala ayam yang lama akan mempunyai warna pucat dan kekuningan kerana sudah disimpan lama dan dibekukan beberapa kali.

2. Rasakan tekstur daging ayam

Image via ktvq (diedit oleh Seismik Makan)

Daging ayam segar akan mempunyai tekstur yang empuk apabila ditekan. Manakala ayam yang tidak segar akan tenggelam apabila di tekan.

3. Pastikan tiada bau yang kurang menyenangkan

Image via spoonuniversity

Ayam yang segar tidak akan mempunyai bau busuk atau hanyir. Jika ayam mempunyai bau hanyir yang kuat dan tidak menyenangkan, ayam sudah lagi tidak segar dan selamat untuk dimakan.

4. Perhatikan darah pada bahagian tulang

Image via cocinadelirante.com (diedit oleh Seismik Makan)

Ayam yang segar tidak akan mempunyai darah yang banyak pada bahagian tulang. Jika ayam mempunyai darah yang banyak, ia bermakna ayam sudah tidak segar kerana telah dibekukan dan dinyahbekukan beberapa kali.

Disebabkan ayam mentah mempunyai risiko salmonella yang lebih tinggi, maka sebaiknya anda membeli ayam segar untuk mengurangkan risiko tersebut

Image via sehinggit.blogspot.com

Sebaiknya, ayam segar patut disimpan pada suhu 4°C dan ke bawah untuk mengurangkan risiko salmonella dari membiak. Tetapi kebiasaannya, ayam tidak dijual pada suhu yang sejuk. Anda disarankan untuk membawa cooler pack untuk memastikan ayam anda kekal segar sementara anda membeli-belah.Jika anda membeli ayam segar di pasar raya, anda sewajarnya mengambil ayam selepas anda sudah selesai memilih barang-barang lain. Dengan cara ini, ayam kekal segar.

Bekukan ayam anda dengan betul juga!

Image via anovaculinary.com

Cara-cara:Mulakan dengan meletakkan ayam ke dalam beg plastik kedap udara. Letakkan ke dalam satu lagi beg plastik kedap udara.Cara lain:Balutkan ayam dengan pembalut aluminium atau plastik.Masukkan ke dalam beg plastik kedap udara. Lapisan pembalut aluminium, plastik atau beg plastik kedap udara berfungsi untuk mengelakkan pembekuan pada permukaan ayam anda. Manakala, lapisan kedua pula adalah untuk mengelakkan dari freezer burn.Tip: Ayam mentah boleh bertahan di dalam peti beku selama 2 bulan. Untuk memudahkan kerja anda, labelkan beg plastik dengan isi dan tarikh dibekukan.

Selamat membeli belah!

Also, some intelligent devs have found code which shows that Google is planning to launch full screen mirroring from Android devices through Chromecast. This nifty little device is compatible with Android, iOS, PC and Mac devices and $35 is really an ultra-cheap price to pay for its features. Google Chromecast is a must buy gadget if you don’t want to spend more than US$50.

2. LG G Flex: LG's first-ever curved phone, the G Flex is the only smartphone of its kind. It's 6-inch screen doesn't lay flat it bends, it flexes. And it auto-heals.

Image via cbsi.com

The G Flex exists almost entirely to show off LG's curved OLED display, the 6-inch, 720p screen that is the centerpiece of its design. LG says the curve makes the phone feel more comfortable against your face, provides a more immersive video-watching experience, and makes the screen less prone to glare because of the way light reflects off it.

        theverge.com

Additionally, LG covered the back of the phone with a "self-healing coating." That doesn't mean the device is impervious to scratches, but users don't have to worry much about their keys messing up the phone when in the same pocket.

3. Apple's iPad Air: It takes the tablet design to a new level of portability. iPad Air is so light that you can hold it with just your fingertips.

Image via fonearena.com

Apple released the iPad Air - a thinner, lighter, sleeker version of its popular tablet - in November. The $499 iPad Air is 0.29-inch thick and weighs exactly a pound. It's also outfitted with Apple's speedy new A7 64-bit chip, making it perfect for gaming.

        mashable.com

Apple’s new mobile operating system, iOS 7, looks great on the iPad Air. The large screen offers plenty of room for sweeping up from just outside the screen to access the Control Center, where you can quickly adjust brightness, audio volume, the clock, the camera, airplane mode and more, and sweeping down to see your daily calendar and notifications.

4. HTC One: The One is a premium Android smartphone, made of an aluminium unibody weighing 143g, with a rounded back that sits comfortably in the palm

Image via pcpro.co.uk

Complete with design finesse second to none, a screen sharper than the market has ever seen and a processor with more punch than a high school prom, on paper there’s nowhere the HTC One falters. It has a full HD 4.7" display at an eye-popping 468 pixels per inch, the best of any current smartphone (the iPhone 5S is 326).

        knowyourmobile.com

It also boasts 'BoomSound' front-facing stereo speakers with Beats Audio technology, raising the audio quality significantly. It has a quad-core 1.7ghz processor to keep things speedy and a 2,300 mAh battery – good enough for a day's use but it isn't replaceable. It has 32gb/64gb versions but no option to expand memory.
A further innovation is HTC's UltraPixel camera, which shoots 1080p HD video but it is just 4MP.

5. Sony PS 4 and Microsoft Xbox One: The two systems are fairly similar, offering 500-gigabyte hard drives in similarly styled black shells. But the companies are taking different approaches in marketing their products.

Image via rsvlts.com

Sony is going after hard-core gamers, offering them the ability to easily share video of themselves playing games over the Internet by tapping a "share" button on their game controllers.

        phys.org

Meanwhile, Microsoft wants the Xbox One to be the center of users' home theaters. By saying "Xbox on" followed by a command, users can control their entertainment systems with their voices. The Xbox One can also load up specific users' profiles and preferences by detecting them with the Kinect motion-sensor device.

        phys.org

For now, neither system has separated itself as the clear-cut top choice, and picking between them comes down to users' personal preferences. The PS4 retails for $399.99 while the Xbox One goes for $499.99, but good luck finding either one. At many stores they're back-ordered.

...and these are the worst 2 gadgets of 2013

6. Samsung Galaxy Gear: It's one of the worst attempts from Samsung. The Galaxy Gear has a long list of disappointments.

Image via cbsi.com

The Samsung Galaxy Gear is the highest-profile smartwatch ever. It could have turned the often-ridiculed clever watch into a desirable gadgety sub-category. Instead, it has reaffirmed the smartwatch as a gimmick that still doesn’t work in real life.

        indiatimes.com

It only lasts for a day between charges, it’s far too expensive for most people, and at launch it barely did anything at all. And as it hardly works with any phones, the market for it is exceptionally narrow. It’s a stinker, sadly. Maybe Samsung will hit the right note with the Galaxy Gear 2, but on this evidence Samsung has a lot of work to do.

Hanya Kerana Gam RM2, Betis Budak 3 Tahun Ini Melecur Teruk Dan Terpaksa Jalani Pembedahan

Nur Hasya Yusra Shahrul Izuan mengalami lecur teruk pada bahagian betis selepas gam '3 Second OK' terkena seluar yang dipakainya

Image via Lelong.my

Farhah Nuar, 27, seorang pengusaha pelamin sangat tidak menjangkakan bahawa gam yang berharga RM2 yang dibelinya untuk membaiki peralatan pelamin dan menyiapkan barang hantaran perkahwinan mampu mengakibatkan betis anaknya melecur sehingga terpaksa menjalani pembedahan.Kejadian malang yang menimpa anaknya yang berusia 3 tahun itu menjadi perhatian netizen selepas beliau memuatnaik status di Facebook sehingga mendapat lebih 25 ribu shares.

Image via Fara Lia

"Selepas selesai menyiapkan kerja, saya segera menyimpan gam itu, tetapi tidak menyangka Nur Hasya ternampak dan mengambilnya. Saya kemudian dikejutkan dengan jeritan anak selepas terkena gam di bahagian pergelangan tangannya."Saya dan suami segera mengambil anak dan membasuh tangannya dengan air laju. Dalam keadaan anak yang sudah basah, saya pun terus menanggalkan pakaiannya."Malangnya ketika ingin membuka seluar yang dipakainya, saya dapati ia sudah melekat pada bahagian betis kirinya," jelasnya lagi.

Image via Fara Lia

"Pada mulanya, Nur Hasya mendapatkan rawatan di Hospital Dungun tetapi kemudian dirujuk ke Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ) untuk bertemu pakar kulit kerana bimbang bahan kimia yang terdapat pada gam itu akan merebak sekiranya tidak dibedah."Anak saya menjalani pembedahan di HSNZ dan doktor perlu membuang isi dan kulit yang terkena gam itu hingga paras lemak kerana bimbang bahan kimia yang tertinggal boleh mengakibatkan kaki anak saya semakin teruk."Alhamdulillah, selepas beberapa hari menjalani pembedahan, kaki anak saya semakin pulih," katanya.

Tambah Farhah lagi, dia tidak menyangka kejadian itu mendapat perhatian ramai, malah ada juga yang berkongsi pengalaman di ruangan komen statusnya

[VIDEO] Are Malaysians Too Embarrassed To Talk About Periods?

Periods have been a taboo in cultures all over the world... but that's beginning to change

Image via Bustle

Nowadays, there's definitely more awareness and education surrounding periods globally. They are talked about in TV shows, movies, and talk shows. But is this the case for a conservative Asian culture like ours? We wanted to find out if Malaysians were willing to talk about periods or if they're still shy.

In a SAYS voxpop session in partnership with Libresse, we spoke to Malaysian men and women about periods and were surprised by how open and honest they were

One of them wasn't too sure about the basics...

Image via SAYS

"Period, I think... girls have it once a month. Then, it lasts for weeks..." Hmmm... not quite bro, but good try!

While a husband told us about buying pads for his wife

Image via SAYS

The ladies gave us their special 'code names' for when they wanted to say "period" in public, too

Image via SAYS

And then there was a special treat for everyone at the end!

Watch the FULL video here:

If you've ever worried about odour during your period, try Libresse's Green Tea scented range of pads. They're giving away free samples too!

Now you can mask smells and leave one worry behind! ;)Belum try, belum tau! Get your free sample of pads from Libresse here.

Once again, Libresse is championing the message that period is period - there's no need for shame or embarrassment! Let's break the taboo together and empower girls and women. Call periods and pads by their real names! :)

US Shutdown FAQ: Top 7 Things to Know About The Crisis in America

1. What does a government shutdown mean?

Image via turner.com

The failure to agree a federal budget means that hundreds of thousands of US public servants will be put on unpaid leave. The president and members of Congress will continue to be paid in the shutdown.

        irishtimes.com

2. Who will be blamed for the shutdown?

Image via telegraph.co.uk

Republicans will take most of the blame, according to polls. Television news channel CNN found in a poll yesterday that 46 per cent of people would hold Republicans responsible for the shutdown, while 36 per cent would blame the president, despite 57 per cent saying that they oppose Obamacare.

        wsj.com

3. Will this stop Obamacare from happening?

Image via washingtonpost.com

No. the key parts of Obamacare rely on mandatory spending that isn't affected by a shutdown. "That includes the new online marketplaces, known as exchanges, where uninsured people will be able to shop for coverage. The Medicaid expansion is funded with mandatory funding, as are the billions in federal tax credits to help with purchasing coverage."

        washingtonpost.com

4. Has this ever happened before?

Image via washingtonpost.com

Yes, for 28 days in 1995 and 1996. Then-President Bill Clinton vetoed a spending bill that landed on his desk from the Republican-controlled Congress because he didn’t agree with its funding levels for education, environmental protections, and pensioner health care.

        rferl.org

5. How many government workers could be furloughed?

Image via washingtonpost.com

Most of the 3.3 million government workers are deemed "essential" -- they'll keep working. But more than 800,000 government employees will sit at home, according to a CNN analysis.

        cnn.com

6. How will this affect a US citizen?

D.C.'s garbage collection stops during a shutdown. (The Washington Post)

Image via washingtonpost.com

In ways big and small. The mail will continue to come. The military will continue to fight. And Social Security checks will continue to be paid. But if they need a federal loan to buy a house, they'll have to wait.

        rferl.org

7. Finally, how will this shutdown end?

Image via news.com.au

Congress needs to pass a bill (or bills) to fund the government, and the White House has to sign them. They can do this at any time. Or they can sit at home and keep the government closed. Nothing requires them to do anything. It depends what sort of political pressure they're facing.

Najib Wants Obama's Bulletproof Limo Because It's More Comfy Than His Proton

PM Najib Razak has expressed that he wishes to have a limousine like the one U.S President Barack Obama uses

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak speaking at the Wild Digital Conference.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was at the Wild Digital Conference at the Le Meridian Kuala Lumpur yesterday morning when he spoke about his experiences of taking a drive with Obama in his personal limousine, popularly known as 'The Beast'.

"It's more comfortable than my Proton, and it feels safe because it is bulletproof," Najib said.

"Probably you can move the Seventh Fleet (in reference to the US Navy) with 'The Beast'," he was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini."A very lovely car. I wish I had one," he added.

The premier had a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride in Obama's special car in April 2014 during the American premier's first visit to Malaysia

Image via Hugh Gentry/Reuters

The car travels with Obama during most of his official visits and has been brought down twice to Malaysia. Najib added later that it was during that ride in Kuala Lumpur (in April 2014) that he and the Obama made plans for a golfing trip in Hawaii. “That's when we decided we should meet up in Hawaii for a round of golf, in 'The Beast',” he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

What's so special about 'The Beast'?

Image via Rediff

Specially built for Obama, the General Motors vehicle boasts its own oxygen supply in case of a chemical attack, is puncture resistant with run-flat tires reinforced with Kevlar. There are even two pints of blood matching the President's type on board in case an emergency transfusion needs to be carried out at the roadside.All of the windows are completely sealed and unable to roll down, except for the driver's side to allow him to pay tolls, and are able to withstand armor-piercing bullets and explosions.Concealed within the bodywork is a full range of firefighting equipment, shotguns, night vision goggles and even tear gas launchers to help the vehicle get out of trouble.

        dailymail.co.uk

With all those awesome features, it's no wonder why Najib would want a car like 'The Beast' for himself!
