| Copyright Infringement |
| 2012-05-11 22:02:00 |
HAVE
you ever uploaded an image or a video to a website, only for it to be deleted
because of copyright issues? While some areas of copyright law can be
complicated enough to cause copyright lawyers sleepless nights, the basics are
very simple. Armed with some simple principles, you can save yourself from
running afoul of copyright law.
Steps
1.
Understand the scope of copyright law. It does protect literary works,
paintings, photographs, drawings, films, music (and its lyrics), choreography,
sculptures and many other things. It generally doesn't protect the underlying
ideas, and it does not protect facts. For example, copyright doesn't prevent
you from expressing in your own words ideas and facts found in a book or
journal you read (but you should always give appropriate credit to the sources
in which you found them; it is common courtesy to do so, and not doing so could
be plagiarism).
2.
Don't take anything from the Internet, or anywhere else, because it is almost
alwa...

| Dyslexia and Your Child |
| 2012-04-05 11:30:00 |
What
is dyslexia?
Dyslexia
is a disability that hampers a person's ability to learn, write and sometimes
even speak. The word `dyslexia' derives from the Greek meaning `difficulty with
words'. It is a common learning disability among children in Malaysia as there
are approximately 500,000 children who suffer from it.
There
are three main types of dyslexia - trauma dyslexia, primary dyslexia and
developmental dyslexia. Trauma dyslexia develops when a trauma or injury occurs
to the part of the brain that controls writing and reading while primary
dyslexia occurs when the cerebral cortex or the left side of the brain does not
mature as the child does. Developmental dyslexia occurs when there is hormonal
development during fetal growth.
If
your child is unable to read, write or spell as well as his peers, don't be
quick to call him dumb or stupid. The problem may be much deeper. Children with
dyslexia have often been called dumb or lazy even though they are actually
children wi...

| Choosing a Right Soap |
| 2012-03-01 23:22:00 |
CONSIDERING the fact that soap is over 5,000 years old, it is perhaps the oldest beauty product most of us would come to know. The regular household would not be able to operate without this cleansing bar. We use it to wash our hands, for bathing and sometimes, to cleanse our faces with gentler but just as effective versions. Many of our childhood memories when it comes to bathing, revolve around using a bar of soap, playing and making suds out of it.
With its many functions, it is no wonder why when it comes to buying a bar of soap that is suitable for you, there are so many different choices to pick from. Because it is often called so many different names - cleansing bar, moisture bar, medicated soaps, antibacterial soaps - it can get quite confusing picking out something as basic as soap. While one bar may resemble the next, there are many things to look out for when picking a soap that works for you.
The right suds for you
Soaps are historically made using g...

| Managing Your Debt |
| 2012-02-29 02:26:00 |
DEBT
plays an important role in our lives. As most of us cannot afford to purchase
everything in cash, we use debt to buy things such as a house and car to fulfill our desired goals.
If
used wisely, debt is a useful tool to help you achieve your financial goals. As
such, debt by itself is not a bad thing as it helps you get the things you want
faster with more convenience.
However,
if you take on excessive debts, you may face diffculties meeting repayments
which would ultimately get you into financial problems. This is why it is
important to manage debt wisely and live with manageable debts.
Having
manageable debts simply means living within your means and never overcommitting
yourself financially. Keep in mind that good debt management helps you reach
your financial goals faster while poor debt management negatively impacts your
life.
WHY
SHOULD YOU MANAGE YOUR DEBT WISELY?
It
takes discipline and motivation to manage your debt wisely. Some benefits of

| Safe Drinking Water: Fact and Fiction |
| 2011-11-19 08:49:00 |
WATER is the most important element in our day-to-day life. The quality of our life depends on it. Unfortunately what we get on our tap is less than perfect. As the world population booms and more people are dumping wastes into water channels, some of it inevitably ends up in our water supply.
Is our daily consumed water safe to drink? What is in tap water?
Research shows 97% of our tap water comes from rivers, which are connected to drainage and sewage systems, therefore it is no surprise thousands of chemicals are found in water.
So what are the long term effects of consuming these polluted water? The list of illness may include cancers, blood contamination, and unhealthy cells, which slowly breaks down our vital organs, besides clogged heart and arteries.
Consider this. Scientist have found pesticides in water causing abnormalities to animals.
For example, a class of pollutants known as endocrine disruptors affects animals' natural hormones, causing male fishe...

| Rubber Industry in Malaysia |
| 2011-11-10 00:27:00 |
Henry Nicholas Ridley - Father of the Rubber
Industry
THE arrival of rubber in Malaya in 1877 - one of
the original trees is still in the compound of the Kuala Kangsar District
Office - did not immediately meet with great enthusiasm among the planters, who
were quite happy growing coffee. The man largely responsible for making
Malaysia the largest rubber-producing country in the world is Henry Nicholas
Ridley (1855-1956).
His principal contribution was to develop what is
still today the basic method for tapping the tree - the herring-bone method,
which left V-shaped channels on the trunk, removing only a thin layer bark each
time, thus permitting a smooth flow of latex and allowing the bark to
regenerate. This was a great improvement on the method which was being used in
Brazil and Malaya at the time, which involved slashing the tree or making
holes, causing great damage to the cambial layer and consequently to the
productivity and life of the tree.

| MY STUPID TRAVEL TIPS - TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL |
| 2011-10-31 09:11:00 |
by Yazid Zul Kepli
1. HEALTH REASON
First of all, everyone is dying. It is just a matter of time.
Deal with it. However, if you are dying in one week, perhaps your decision to
spend the little time left with your family is not a bad idea. Perhaps. You
will need to put everything in order. People will understand that. It is highly
unlikely that you are dying in the near future due to terminal illness though.
Most probably, even if you are not in your optimum condition physically,
efforts can be made to travel if you wanted to. On the other hand, if your
doctor strongly advises you against travelling, your doctor’s word of caution
should not be taken lightly.
2. PHOBIA REASON
Sometimes, people are healthy physically but they are prevented
by their phobias. A simple example is claustrophobia. Claustrophobia is a
strong reason why some people avoid travelling. This is because they are afraid
of flying. I was a claustrophobic person myself. Claustrophobia is the fear of

| The BrandLaureate Brand ICON Leadership Awards '11 |
| 2011-10-26 10:29:00 |
By Gerald Chuah
OVER the years, awards have been given
to brands and corporations, but seldom to leaders who are the driving force
behind successful brands. The time has come to honour these illustrious leaders
who are in a league of their own.
Asia Pacific Brands Foundation confers on them The BrandLaureate Brand Icon Leadership Awards 2011 to honour Malaysia's Icons who have
successfully built their brands.
President of The BrandLaureate Dr
KK Johan said: "There are many great leaders in the world today, but very
few Icons. "Icons define and set the standards of excellence, are bold
enough to take risks and change the course of things for the better. History
has shown and proven that these individuals are extraordinary leaders, in a
class of their own.
With this in mind, the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation (APBF), the world's only
branding foundation, launched The BrandLaureate Brand Icon Leadership Awards '11, the highest level of
