To the editor:
Bob Bauer's Jan. 2 Letter to the Editor espouses some familiar misrepresentations regarding civilian firearms ownership within the United States.
I have yet to understand, much less experience, a "gun show loophole." Every federal firearms dealer must, by law, conduct a National Crime Information Center check upon every individual that purchases a firearm, regardless of the time and place in which a firearm is sold. There are no loopholes or exceptions to this law.
Private and individual sales of firearms that occur at gun shows, can just as easily occur within the parking lots of Walmart, McDonald's or in the street in front of Mr. Bauer's home.
I also don't understand the preoccupation of the term "assault weapon," as it has been applied to every make and model of firearms that would even include Mr. Bauer's deer rifle and duck shotgun. A truly termed assault weapon is a firearm with select fire from full automatic (machine gun), to semi-automatic (one shot for one trigger pull).
These firearms have been heavily and increasingly regulated since the inception of the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Owner's Protection Act of 1986. The media sensation of any firearm that is cosmetically similar to a machine gun, is somehow transformed into a machine gun, still mystifies me, and gun owners such as Mr. Bauer who continue to swallow the hyperbole of the term, is a continued source of amazement.
The "tougher restrictions" to which Mr. Bauer writes, occurred with New York City's Sullivan Act of 1911 that effectively disarmed all the people of the city of all weapons for the past 102 years, including chemical mace and electric stun guns — save those individuals that have enough political clout to obtain governmental permission to possess a firearm. The advent of electronic communications and community policing has more likely had a greater influence upon the effect of reduced violent crime than more laws that subject people to disarm even more.
In the United States, a demonstration of private ownership of guns can be shown to reduce crime, but a country-to-country comparison doesn't correlate between gun availability and the violent crime rate because of the significant differences in data collection between countries.
However, the use detailed data can contrast the per capita violent crime rate with the per capita gun ownership rate between different countries, which demonstrates increased violent crime in those countries which have substantially disarmed their citizenship. Australia, the U.K. and Canada have all experienced well documented and significant spikes in violent crimes since instituting gun control measures.
Only law-abiding people obey the law. Purporting false details of firearms ownership in an effort to restrict gun ownership will have little bearing upon criminal acts, as no law will effectively stop the criminal element from carrying out their criminal deeds, though the intervention of one prepared to effectively combat a criminal in his misdeeds could have prevented such a tragedy as Sandy Hook.
In the end, however, the requisite changes need to first occur within the human heart; as only love, understanding, and active compassion for one's neighbor are the only true means to halt such tragedies before they occur.

that article had some good info on it. hope we make his top 5.
I hope we make his top 1
It seems like the last few guys that have leaked out that McDermott is recruiting (while relatively unknown to us) have been 4 and 5 star players. I like that.
The funny part is he has a top 9. Really there are 9 schools that are equal. When I was deciding what school to attend I had 2. Then they both passed on me and I joined the Marine Corps. I can't beleive Iowa State and UNI both passed on me but it's true.
Good article. I see he is interested in engineering...should be a plus for ISU.
Go Cyclones!!
**** Iowa!!
I've heard the relationship he has developed with McDermott is a really good one. They have become close as Tyler respects Greg as not only a coach but a person too. Given McDermott's reputation for developing big men Tyler and McDermott look to be a good fit.
I hope ISU isn't to far from home for him.
I'd still be shocked to land him, but if we did, my man crush on the coaching staff would be complete.
Doesn't he have a relative that went to ISU? For some reason i thought his mom or dad went here, I could be wrong though.
I believe his dad did.

Video monitoring with Perl and a webcam
Webcams are useful for monitoring. Using CPAN modules and custom-made C code, Perl scripts can automatically adjust the exposure and fish the most interesting images out of a video camera's data stream.
Most webcams are accompanied by some kind of Windows software, which is of no use at all to Linux users. Luckily, more recent Linux distributions include Video4Linux, which gives you simple controls for many hot-pluggable USB cameras. The Creative NX Ultra camera I use for my experiments normally provides video output and costs about US$ 70. In fact, it is a waste of the camera's abilities to use this camera as a simple webcam, but then again, it was just lying around in one of the drawers down at the Perlmeister lab, so why not use it? The camera does not need an external power supply, and it was detected immediately by the hot-plugging subsystem when I connected it to my PC. The video data typically goes to /dev/video0. The Linux::Capture::V4l Perl module from CPAN locks into the device entry, grabs the frame data, and lets programmers change exposure parameters such as the camera sensitivity on the fly. Listing 1 shows a simple application that first sets the camera sensitivity to 40000 before grabbing an image from the video stream, and then storing the image on disk as a JPEG photo (Figure 2).

Miami Herald (Newspaper) - January 5, 1958, Miami, Florida ••Vif 5 V.'..:' r'ilXt:Miles In SpaceWill Become A Tiny Planet Partly Siumiky Mostly cloudy with some rain, torn» Ing Bomewhftt colder l«t© Monday. ■ MIAMI TCMPCIUTmCfl SCKDAT Bt BcrkK Wir* StrrieM MOSCOW — Russia's "cos-rçïic rocket" Sunday began £1 bending into an egg-shaped orbit around the sun to join thé solar system as a tiny planet, the Soviets announced Sunday. The Russians predicted the rocket was just the start of the conquest of outer space and visualized the time when Russians would send television pictures back from the moon and would visit Mars and Venus. The 8.345-poand rocket-skirted the moon, its original goal, by 4,600 miles—roughly the distance from Miami to London—and streaked on to-ward the sun at more than 25,000 miles per hour. The rocket had slowed to a speed of 5.592 miles per hour as it encountered the moon's gravitational pull but picked up speed again as it started leaving the moon's field of gravity behind it. Late Sunday, it had raced S43.750 miles into space since ita launching iMt Friday, "The rocket continues to move away from the moon and the earth," the statement said. It is "gradually assuming an-, elliptical orbit around the 6un." Tass, official news agency, said the instruments and transmitters continued to function normally, reporting back data to observation stations in the Soviet Union. But these radio contacts gradually will worsen because of the growing distance and the exhaustion of the cosmic missile's batteries, Tass said, and "in the course of the next few days will cease, entirely." Russian scientists echoed Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev in hailing the feat of Soviet rocketry. Soviet Academician Anatoly Blagonravov, writing in thè Communist Youth newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, predicted that one of his readers "before long will walk on the edge of the moon's craters and will unravel the mysteries of the canals-on Mars and see the unveiling of clouds on the mainland of Venus. " Blagonravov paid the U.S. a backhanded compliment and said RuMlans should not "minlmiEe or belittle" American space advances. However, ho said, "in my '•^opinion, the very approach in 'the U.S. to the sok-ition of the PXoblem of mterplanetary Higî^t is erroneou.s." A V s. moon rocket reached an aJuîtude of Tl.OOO miles before fillips:^ A Moscow radio science commentator said the conditions for the Russian rockct launch-' ing were "far from favorable " because of the positions of the moon, earth and sun and the forces of attraction among them. Another said TV pictures might be flashed back from the moon by the first space ship to get there. Signals showed the temperature on the surface of the rocket to be between 50 and 59 degrees fahrenheit, It said. It added that these mild temperatures insure "normal ■ functioning of the instruments" | packed inside the rocket.

The Second Front's top man, Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo, said his 5,000-man army separate from the guerrilla army of Fidel Castro — would not seek any positions in President Manuel Urrutia's cabinet. "We wUl back him to tho hilt," Menoyo pledged. There had been some fear that the victorious armies of the 26th of July Movement headed by Castro and the Second National Front might clash in a struggle for power. The Herald interviewed a top rebel leader on a secret mission to Miami three weeks ago, and interviewed him again Sunday. He is Dr. Armando Fleites —the No. 2 man in the Second Front army. '"I went to Miami because we were in great need of arms and ammunition." he said. "I was successful in - my mission and the guns and ammunition were used in the final battle.' , Fleites WQ]ci.'i,.admit it, but he j probably visited former Presi- i dent Carlos Prio Socarras in Mi- j ami. Most of the men in the i Second Front army are Prio's men. ; "We received all of our arms from Miami," he said, ^ "and most of .niem got through ; — at least cent." j Fleites told how he got to Miami and back. He said he took a jeep down out of the hills and crossed half of Las ' Villas Province through the lines of Batista's army. "At the coast, my sergeant and' I took a small boat out and were picked up by a Cuban fishing craft which carried us to a small key at the southern tip of Florida.

Renewal of Fighting Feared Anxiety Still Hangs Over Gity of Havana By STEPHEN TRUMBULL Hfrild Stiff Wrttir HAVANA, Cuba—With guns silent at last and the harsh general strike called off, there was still an uneasy fear in revolt-battered Havana Sunday that the flames of siolence may not be completely out. There have been many official promises of cooperation between the powerful Second Front organization and other revolutionary forces and Fidel Castro's 26th of July m o v e-ment, but tension was evident even as crowds prepared a mnn-yfr"victory celebration for Casfro. There wa« talk of possible dissension which could — later if not now — fan the dying embers of revolution. There are 'factions within factions, and letting blood for the cause of the revolution, then returning to such mundane jobs as grocers and inn-keeping is hardly in keeping with the Latin temperament. Many rebel troops have moved into the othenvise empty tourist hotels. It is all on the cuff, or as they say here, "compliments of the management " At the swank Havana Hilton and Nacional hotels, a few ad- Loana on Silvenvare to $600. ; Halpert's 140 NE 2 Ave.-Adv. jFlying Boxcar Crash Kills 3 BUNKER HILL AIR FORCE ' BASE, Ind. — — An Air ; Force CUD Flying Boxcar cra.shed and burned early Sunday while coming in for a landing here, killing all three crew ' members.

Tex. The plane was ; en route to Bunker Hill from | Brooks Air Force Base, Tex.. ; on what was described as a ; cross-country flight. j ^venturous Americans stayed on;, • The general strike which ! paralyzed Havana was relaxed 1 Sunday at the food stores. This ; helped the citixens who still had a couple of pesos under the mattress, but the long lines at the stores were watched enviously by many others who won't be working again ■ for a day or so. There were- no reports of black market prices. The fact may be astounding to North Americans with a memory of World War II black', markets, but it has been true here through aili of these days of trouble. Newsmen who followed the rebels through all of the scattered guerilla fighting say it was true around the scenes of those campaigns, too. Until Sunday night, the town had been held completely para-lyze^l insofar as transportation and other facilities are concerned. Newsmen here and others in the'hotels were getting two rather scant meals a day hut. aside from elevators, there was no other service. Citizens and tourists alike were impatient for complete restoration of services in stores, transportation facilities'and industry following Castro's order to end the general strike. The process of disarming the kid volunteer guards around the city and replacing them with uniformed and combat-seasoned rebels is progressing —but slowly. Most of the downtown Havana guards are now veterans of the Second Front groiip. They are as friendly as a bunch of beagle pups with the Americans and other foreign newsmen here. Apparently they have the word from higher up to do nothing to endanger international relations. The national police uniform also is reappearing in some sections of the city.' The wearers are unarmed and apparently have been approved for traffic and-other routine duties.Groceries Opened Up In Capital Residents Allowed To Leave Homes —.........nr.....il«r«14 ---------- HAVANA, Cuba ^ Re b e 1 Leader Fidel Castro Sunday night called off the general strike that has paralyzed Cuba as he marched victoriously toward the capital at thé head of a 1,500-man armbred column. A bi-badcast by the Havana radio said • Castro, speaking from Camaguey, had urged all workers to go back to their, ^obs. All stores and business establishments, closed sine.« New Year's Day* when the rebels overthrew Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship, were told to open again. 'Hie end of the itrlke indicated the rebels feel they have a firm grip on Havana and are in no serious danger of a counter-attack by Batista force«. Castro urged industries, transport and communications, as well as stores, to resume regular work-schedules. The end of the strike is expected to be a major move toward restoring Cuba's normally flourishing trade and commerce. It was cheered especially in hungry Havana, where residents and American tourists have been short on food for four days. Earlier in the day, rebel-, officials in Havana permitted grocery stores to open for two hours to ease the hunger pangs of the city's 1,250,000 citizens. j Marching into Camagueyi ; Castro reached the one-third I mark of his 600-mile trip to j Havana and the immense vie-{ tory celebration awaiting him. But a broadcast later said Castro would remain in Ca-j maguey Sunday night and con-; tinue his triumphal procession j by stages, stopping in Santa. I Clara today and in Mantanzas, ' capital of the province next to Havana. Tuesday. As tens of thousands in Camaguey cheered Castro,-he was quoted as saying: "Our triumph is sure and there is no danger of losing what we have." The rebel command here also permitted unarrned civilians to go on the streets for the first time suice the toppling of Ba-tista> regime. But civilians ; were ordered to carry identifi-; cation. Castro's men said they were pressing a roundup of remaining supporters of the ousted regime. Tho rebels dealt out summary justice to men they said were "criminals of war,'' and reportedly had e.xecuted at least three of Batista's former officials.

Love, hate, death, greed This plague is killing me Time spent chasing What's not reality
Mark my words, you must believe Most nightmares are built from dreams You will soon see a loss of integrity in all humanity Building clones, don't be their drones The infected brain washed seeds In the shadows of the circle of what the future will bring you
This plague is killing me What's not reality This plague is killing me We are corrupted fiends

Why I Think Patriarchy Isn't That Big of a DealPosted: April 29, 2016 Filed under: General 5 Comments
I got into a mild argument ("mild" because I refuse to engage further, kalau dilayan mungkin berjam gaduh and I ain't got time for that) with several angry feminists on Twitter when I notioned that patriarchy ain't all that bad.
Oh, the wrath!
Like I'm totally a woman under some coconut for not knowing the struggles of other women in the world, that I should "check my privileges" before I dare go against the feminism movement, that I SHOULDN'T use my own experience or anecdotal tales of other successful women to belittle other women's plight in this UNFAIR patriarchal society..
What. The. Heck?
You know why people don't take the feminist movement seriously? It's because of you ladies who are angry, bitter and scary all the time! Sesama perempuan pun nak attack, what more fellas with no vaginas. They say I shouldn't use my own experience to claim that patriarchy isn't harmful. Uh, aren't THEY using their own experiences and other anecdotes too, to say that it is? So feminists, if you want people to take you seriously, to take the movement seriously, then please, be calm and sensible when giving out your arguments.
I am all for women empowerment. I support that women ought to be given a fair chance and opportunity for education and pay (if they're doing the same amount of work as their male peers). But I just DON'T find it a big deal when it comes to the lack of freedom and equality in doing house chores. They argued that ideal husbands don't treat their wives like helper monkeys 😂
Apa nak berkira sangat? Yes, we're tired. Yes, it may seem unfair when we "slave" (their term, not mine) away to meet our husbands' demands.. But seriously, why do we women do all that? Is it because we want to prove we're superwomen? NO. Not at all.
I believe (some) women do what we do to please our Creator. To please Allah SWT. Not just our husbands. If we understand and accept our wifely duties, we'll try our best to make our husbands happy. For the lack of appropriate English word, because isn't keredhaan Allah SWT yang kita cari? And this can be achieved by following all of His commandments and avoiding all of His prohibitions. It is MY interpretation that one of the commandments of Allah SWT is to obey your husband. But only the good, respectable ones, of course. I believe many working women in Malaysia share this view too.
Husbands know, and they SHOULD know, that their responsibilities are far greater than their wives. As leaders of the household, husbands shoulder a LOT of responsibilities. Not just in providing nafkah, but to ensure that their wives and kids are good Muslims. I don't know about you, but I'm ok to NOT have an equal footing in that aspect. So if they're the main breadwinner (or shared breadwinner, whichever), they also give nafkah to us, they also ensure the safety of the household, they provide shelter, act as the main (not sole) decision maker, apa lah salahnya setakat buatkan kopi when they ask for it?
Women, especially working moms, are not perfect beings. We may scowl, wear a frown at times, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do what we need to do. Banyak barakah kalau suami gembira kot.. Saya yang tak pandai sgt hal2 agama ni pun tau.
(Edit: Having said that, I would like to clarify that I've no problems with women who wish to swap gender roles with their husbands. It's their right (or preference). Even some of my good female friends and relatives are the main breadwinners in their households. Just as they find it normal to swap roles, we find it absolutely normal to stick to the traditional roles.)
Women empowerment is important. Women NEED to be independent these days. Yet, women still need to respect their husbands.
And btw, about my so-called privileges.. Everyone has them. They come in many forms. If not financially, maybe we have a nice family that's supportive. Maybe we've got a great circle of friends. Make whatever it is that we have work for us.
Privileged or not, everyone has their own struggles. It's time we acknowledge people who, against all odds, manage to overcome their challenges. Regardless whether they are "privileged" or not. Why? Because there are those with similar privileges, yet, they still end up unsuccessful or troubled all throughout their lives. Maybe it has got something to do with privileges, but it's got more to do with attitudes.
So ladies, let's be the strong women that we are and check our attitudes.
Our Confusion Over Teaching English at Public SchoolsPosted: December 10, 2015 Filed under: General, Rants, Thoughts 1 Comment
I don't get Malaysians who are against this Dual Language Program (DLP).
"Another new policy?!"
"What's wrong with this country huh? Sheeshh"
"That's it, our education system is useless and has gone down in the dumps!"…
I'm sure we've all heard those before. In fact, we may have been the ones saying those things ourselves. While I'm not arguing against those outbursts, as they may have some truths to it, my point now is the DLP.
Are those who are against it are even aware what the program is all about? Not every school has to go through with it lah. So don't get all panicky. (If you're still interested to read my rants, please click on the link to read a bit about the DLP first).
For schools who DO qualify to go ahead with the program, what are you complaining about? I get that school administrators and teachers may not be in favour of yet again another new policy by the ministry; that there's just too much additional work to be done. Too much hassle etc.. But wait. At the end of the day, shouldn't your main objective be your students? Don't you want to help them be proficient in English? Yes, I am aware that the task of making one proficient in English is NOT easy and that it shouldn't rest on the teachers alone. Students should, ideally, speak English at home with their parents, family members and friends, they should be surrounded with English books, should only watch English programs and be in a conducive environment.. Unfortunately, not all students have that luxury. So their best bet to learn English is, perhaps, at school. So quit feeling like you're the victims (even if you really are) and try to motivate yourselves to give the best to your students. Our vocation as educators is a noble one. It comes with a price. Sometimes we don't get rewarded or even acknowledged but that shouldn't be a primary concern. Right?
And for parents whose children are at selected schools that qualify for the DLP program.. What are YOU complaining about? Is it because you don't want your kids to have more exposure of other subjects in English? Is it because your argument is "Why only math, science & information technology subjects? Aren't the other subjects important too?" (My eyes are rolling at this point, so I'll just stop). Is it because you're still dwelling on the perception that the teachers "aren't ready" yet? Newsflash. That's why the program is only offered to schools that have the capacity – the manpower and facilities. I believe in our teachers' capabilities. Some teachers are really good at what they do and are selfless, but they may be overshadowed by those who aren't or a bit berkira with their job scopes. Nonetheless, if we don't believe in them, how else can they be confident to do their jobs? Let them educate our kids. Yet, at the same time, we shouldn't outsource too much. We need to be hands-on in our kids' English learning as well. Speak English with them often. Provide them with the necessary environment to learn and speak English. I'm not an expert myself, so I'm still learning. Let's learn together and help the teachers in making our kids' English better.
I personally feel that ending the PPSMI was a mistake. But we need to realize and agree that many Malaysians were against that policy (teaching math and science in English) as well. I'm guessing that was the reason it was ended in the first place. But now when the English standard is sub-par, many Malaysians (including those very same people) are blaming the system and demanding that something be done. In response, the ministry came up with the Dual Language Program. Mind you, it's still in its pilot stage. So there's definitely room for improvement. But you can almost immediately hear perfectionist Malaysians scream, "This is not implemented nationwide or statewide. It is only for schools that opt for it and have met many criteria. I foresee many schools opting out due to lack of support from rural folks, teachers and Guru Besar etc".. 😐
So, back to my original question. I really don't get it. What do you want, Malaysia?
Life's a StrugglePosted: March 29, 2015 Filed under: General Leave a comment
Someone (who is also a former student) asked me on Twitter: "@izyanizulkifli salam hi mdm. Would you be willing to share your experience of becoming a lecturer? Like how did you begin back then?"
I favourited her tweet a while back and promised to write a post about it. Then as usual, we get preoccupied with things and I forgot. Oops. But having been at the hospital the last few days, I recall her tweet and remembered that I've blogged about it before. It's an old post but the points are still relevant. So here is my post again 😊
Do you remember when we were kids in primary school, every now and then the class teacher would distribute a form or a small booklet asking us students what we wanted to be when we grow up? I remembered looking around at my friends' ambitions and saw that the popular occupations were always chosenfirst -'doktor', 'akauntan', 'peguam', 'jurutera'.. Those who didn't really know what they wanted to be yetoften sees the role model in front of them as convenient, so'cikgu' is usually a popular second.
As for me, like most children who look up to their parents, I tend to want to be what my parents were at the time. So I always wrote 'kerani' after my mom's job at the school where I was attending because I didn't really know or understood what it was that my dad was doing. Upon submission to the teacher, she would go through…

Overnight at the HospitalPosted: March 26, 2015 Filed under: Baby, General, Health Leave a comment
In late April last year, I was in the hospital ward feeling nervous and excited at the same time while waiting for the arrival of our third bundle of joy. It was around 2am that I excitedly shared a photo on Instagram of me wearing the batik and bouncing on my gym ball while breathing long and deeply to cope with my contractions. A few hours later, our bouncy baby girl was born.
Today, I'm in the same hospital, though not in the same ward, thankfully.. But this time I'm here to accompany that same baby girl. Who would've thought, huh?
She was admitted this morning for high fever and dehydration. We don't normally bring our kids to the hospital when they are feverish but this time around, it was a bit different. She was really weak, not active, didn't have any appetite, threw up a lot of fluid and above all, she looked sick. This is our baby an hour before leaving the house this morning, posing next to her more jubilant and cheeky older brother.
Those who knew our baby girl knew she has the roundest, brightest eyes. And a wide toothless grin to boot. Those eyes and grin were not present this morning, nor were they present in the last few days. My mommy instinct told me it was time to have it checked. True enough, her paeditrician advised us to have her admitted as she's not responding that well to the oral medication for her bacterial infections in the nose, ear and throat that she received two days ago.
After six hours of waiting at the waiting lounge, she finally got into her ward. Throughout the day, she has had her drip tube bandages changed 5 times. Being a baby, her tiny hand makes it difficult for the plastic needle to stay in place. It easily unplugs whenever she moves or attempts to remove them, and before I know it, blood gushes out. This was her worst 'accident' around 1.15am just now 😖
So in case you're wondering why I'm still up typing this blog post, it's because I need to stay awake. I can't afford to fall asleep because the last time I dozed off, the above happened. She's still very clingy and doesn't like to lie down in her own cot. But I'm afraid if I lie down next to her on my bed like just now and accidentally fallen asleep, she might hurt herself again. So now I'm cradling her on my lap while nursing her whenever she needs to.
Praying that I have the strength and health to take care of my baby, as well as her older siblings.
University (or College) DropoutPosted: January 3, 2015 Filed under: Academic, Career, General Leave a comment
I'm quite tired of hearing people, sometimes under the guise of 'motivational speakers', using the phrase "Bill Gates/Steve Jobs/Mark Zuckerberg is a college dropout" as an excuse to being mediocre at university and eventually dropping out. As an educator, it's quite distressing enough when students don't have the desire to do well academically but it's even more disheartening when they opt to quit their studies because they believe paper qualification isn't important. "Takpe lah, takde degree pun boleh hidup…"
I don't deny or disagree that the above mentioned people are successful even without a degree. But the problem is, how many people are like Bill Gates? How many are like Zuckerberg, or Jobs or even Tiger Woods? What I disagree with is when youngsters naively think that they can become successful by dropping out. Haven't they considered that these people are successful in spite of dropping out, not because of it?
A degree or any other type of paper qualification has its virtues. That piece of paper signifies a culmination of effort one puts in towards understanding key concepts and learning a particular skill. Achieving academic excellence demand discipline, focus and endurance that may serve you well in your work environment. Sure, you have the 'university of life' or experience that some people insist as being more important but I never said a degree is the only important thing for your career. It's merely a tool to jumpstart your career. To be good at what you do, that's where experience and practice come in.
Anyway, back to those who dropout from university and are successful. Some people are inherently brilliant, talented or skillful way beyond their years. By being in the current system, sometimes, it might just slow them down from achieving their true potential. But these are exception rather than the norm.
So unless you are that exceptionally gifted, talented or a whizz in IT or business, get in line like the rest of us and get an education! Then feel free to venture out into any field that you wish. That extra 3 to 4 years of university/college may be your best safety net in case things don't work out.
Strategies To Score in ExamsPosted: May 9, 2014 Filed under: Academic, General Leave a comment
Let's set one thing straight. The foolproof way to do well in exams is of course, by studying. There's no shortcut about it! Ideally you should start studying from the beginning of the semester, consistently for several hours a day.
What? But that's so nerdy!
You've got to be realistic. While there may be students who do well in exams without having to bury their noses in books all the time, those students are the exception. We average Joes, on the other hand, need to work for it. Yes, life's unfair. Get over it! Besides, by just allocating several hours a day to studying, you're not really sacrificing your social life (assuming that you have one). Trust me. You just need to prepare a well-balanced schedule and have the willpower to stick to it.
The following tips are to help enhance those who have studied all throughout the semester. But I guess those who haven't studied much can also use it.. To pass, perhaps? Hehe.
OK, here goes.
When studying for exams, it helps to know: the format of the exam, coverage of topics and type of questions being asked. Why? Because I believe that apart from studying, students can also increase their chances of scoring better in exams with a proper strategy. You can only strategise if you know what you're up against.
Format of the exam. This includes the duration of the exam, breakdown of the paper (does it have 2 or 3 parts?), do you have options or must you answer all? Check with your lecturers about the exam format. You may also refer to pass years' final papers at the library or resource centres.
If you know the duration of the exam and the total number of questions to be answered, you can estimate how long it will take for you to answer a particular question. This will help you avoid not having enough time to answer all that you need. You may be surprised to know that when I grade exam scripts, there are students who took too long in answering some questions that they don't have enough time to finish their papers. That's marks wasted. For e.g, if it is a 3-hour exam and you need to answer 5 questions, roughly take 30 minutes to answer each question. The balance of half an hour can be used to draft your answers and to check your work.
Coverage of topics. To know which topics are covered in the exam, ask your lecturers or refer to the course outlines (syllabus). Don't worry if your lecturers don't give exam tips. It's not the end of the world. I remembered when I was an undergraduate, one of my favourite lecturers, Ms Wai Li, will never give exam tips. Her rationale? I've taught my best. Now it's your turn to study, understand and give out your best. Seems reasonable to me.
But my lecturer doesn't teach that well! So how?
So what? Just because to you your lecturer isn't doing that great a job, it shouldn't stop you from gaining knowledge. In this age, there are numerous ways for you to augment what you learnt in class. You can checkout YouTube videos given by professors all over the world or Google the concepts that you're uncertain about. Just remember to check the sources. The point is, by knowing what's covered in the exam (even by just referring to the course outlines), you will be guided in your revisions. Otherwise, you'll feel overwhelmed with so many topics and won't know where to begin. Related to this, always refer to your textbooks, lecture notes and course materials. Those stuffs you read on the internet are extras. They shouldn't be used to replace your main references.
Types of questions. The way questions are designed depends on your courses and fields of study. But generally, exam questions are either in the form of short answer (or structured); problems that involve calculations; case studies; long essays or multiple-choice. In economics, most of our questions are of short answer, problems and essay type. Occasionally we'll have MCQs. So my tips will be based on these types of questions. Why does this matter, you may ask? Well, it really doesn't if you're good enough. But if you're so-so or you haven't studied as much as you should, then anything that may help you improve your score, is worth looking at, no?
Here are (some of) the strategies that I practiced as a student:
I guess that's it. I'll add on more if I remember them. I hope by sharing these few pointers, you'll have a more 'enjoyable' time answering your final exam papers
Good luck!
My Birth StoryPosted: May 5, 2014 Filed under: General Leave a comment
They say each birth is different. It's true. My eldest daughter was delivered normally after 15 hours of labour. My son, born six years later, was delivered via Caesarean section due to cord prolapse. This is my third pregnancy and I'm attempting to do a VBAC (vaginal birth after Caesarean).
23/4/2012 (Wednesday)
I had my first bloody show early this morning in time for my weekly checkup at the hospital. Met my doctor around 9AM. She did a vaginal examination (or VE) and found that I was already 2cm dilated. I was ecstatic as this meant labour has started. I was then sent to the labour room to do a CTG (a machine that basically detects our contractions and baby's heart beat). The nurse strapped my abdomen onto the machine and my readings were recorded for 20 minutes. True enough, I was already having contractions. They were regular, but mild. Guess that's why I wasn't feeling anything.
Back at the doctor's office, she asked me what I wanted to do. Since I'm already in labour, I can be warded immediately, but the downside to this is a higher chance of being induced if labour isn't progressing 'well' enough and perhaps go through a C-section if other complications arise. My other option is to go home and come back later when the pain is stronger, but the risk with this is that there'll be no monitoring of the baby inside me. I mentally weighed the pros and cons of each option. Suddenly everything I read regarding births in the last few months flooded my mind. In the end, I followed my instinct and chose the latter. If possible, I wanted to avoid being strapped onto the CTG and lying in the hospital bed as I did during my first delivery. It was uncomfortable and very restrictive.
We headed straight to Baskin Robbins after that. I knew I wouldn't be allowed to eat ice-creams during confinement so I'm getting my final indulgence -two scoops of my favourite flavours with banana chunks! Haha.. On the way home, we dropped by my office to settle some last minute work. My colleagues wished me luck and I bid them a temporary adieu. Then Hubs and I had lunch. When we arrived home, I settled our laundry, prepared our newborn's cot and beddings and lightly cleaned the bedroom. After Zuhur prayer, I bounced on my gym ball to get the contractions going and chit-chatted with Hubs. I wasn't feeling any pain but we decided to go back to the hospital at 4.30PM as we didn't want to miss the doctor in case I was further dilated.
Back at the labour ward, the midwife recorded my contractions and did another VE. I was still 2cm dilated! Oh, how frustrating. She called the doctor and I was given the same options as that morning. I decided to go home again. That night I cooked dinner and this time I felt the cramps come and go. Before bed, I saw that I still have a bloody show. Feeling hopeful that my contractions will get stronger in the middle of the night, I went to bed.
24/4/2014 (Thursday)
Today's my due date. And nope, still not feeling anything. In fact, I had such a good night's sleep I might've dreamt the whole thing. The only thing real was my persistent bloody show. After preparing our daughter for school and seeing her leave, I took a shower.
Called the doctor's office around 9.30AM. I was informed that she'll be away starting Saturday for the entire week. Oh dear. I wish I was OK to have my delivery with any other doctor or person, but I'm not. I'm comfortable with my doctor and would want her to deliver all my babies. So with a heavy heart, I agreed to be induced that midnight. Nonetheless, I silently prayed to Allah, begging that my contractions would progress naturally.
After Zuhur, hubby brought me to OU for lunch and we strolled with our son. I had my other last indulgence before delivery at Delicious café. Then we fetched our daughter from school and went home.
I didn't feel like cooking that night as the water rationing was taking place. Besides, I felt the cramps getting more frequent and a bit stronger than yesterday. My sister offered to buy us all dinner. My mom came around 9.45PM. During dinner, told Hubs that I think my contractions are picking up. Regular as before but stronger this time. He told me to get ready and pray Isyak. After a hard time tucking the kids to sleep (it was slightly over 10.30PM), we left the house.
In the car, I started timing my contractions. They were about 5 minutes apart but each contraction was short, only lasted for about 30-40 seconds each. "Lama lagi ni", I thought to myself. Hubs asked if I wanted to drive around before reaching the hospital. I agreed. So we drove around KLCC, passed by the hectic and colorful bars and bistros. Watched the night life. Finally around 11.40PM, we reached the hospital. I decided to walk to the A&E unit from the parking lot. After settling all the paperwork and registration, the attendant offered me a wheelchair to escort us to my ward but I declined and we walked instead.
In the ward, we started to get comfortable. I changed into my home attire and wore socks while Hubs inflated my gym ball.
A few minutes later, a nurse came in and checked my blood pressure. I told her that I could feel the pains now. She later returned with the CTG machine and recorded my contractions for half an hour.
When asked how everything was, she said the baby's heart beat is good, "result cantik" and that my contractions were regular at 5-minute intervals lasting about 40 seconds each. She then unstrapped me from the CTG and told me to rest. Will come in the morning to check again, she said. I was so happy! This is exactly the kind of early labour I've been dreaming of. To be left alone in my ward (not labour room) without being strapped to any machine, no drips, no catheter, no drugs.. So I'm not getting induced after all. Alhamdulillah! He heard my prayers to have my labour progress as naturally as possible.
In the next few hours, the contractions got more painful but still bearable with the breathing techniques that I tried to emulate after some last minute reading and YouTube watching. I know I should sleep but I was too excited. Finally at 2AM, I climbed next to Hubs (who was already asleep) and dozed off.
25/4/2014 (Friday)
Around 4.30AM, I was awakened by a sharp, stabbing pain in my abdomen. I tried going back to sleep, even asked Hubs to lightly massage my back.. but the feeling was intense and persistent, it was hard to ignore. In the end I got up and took long, slow and deep breaths with every jolt of contractions that came. I varied my attempts at dealing with the pain (mentally I tried using the hypnobirthing terms, "pressure" or "sensation" but I feel it apt to use ordinary, 'scary' language in writing). I walked slowly around the ward, swayed my hips left and right at the edge of the bed, stretched back and forth on all fours on the floor, bounced on the gym ball, rolled on the gym ball.. Kept repeating all those things while breathing deeply with every contraction (or "surges"). It's a good thing we were in the ward so I could control the lights. I kept the room very dim with only the bathroom lights on. This seemed to set the mood to help me concentrate on my breathing. At times, the contractions were bearable but since the frequency has increased (I'm sure it was every 2-3 minutes now), it was quite exhausting.
At 6.30AM, a nurse came in to check on my blood pressure. When I told her that my contractions are getting stronger and more frequent, she immediately alerted the midwife. Around 6.40AM, she said it's time to go to the labour room. She offered a wheelchair but I decided to walk as I heard that walking can induce the opening of the cervix naturally. Each step was accompanied by that sharp pain. Felt like little stabs in my abdomen, especially around the uterus. Somehow, I managed to walk to the labour room. There the midwife took charge. She told me to change into the hospital garb and lie down. Amidst the pain, I noticed the hospital had changed it's gown colour to maroon. "Hey, it matches my maroon socks!" Hubs walked in with our personal belongings at this point. It felt slightly terrifying as I lied down on the bed. To distract myself from the pain, I looked around the labour room. It was bright. There were scrubs, syringes and other medicinal supplies on the cabinets on my far left. The CTG machine on my immediate left. The baby's weighing scale and platform (for cleaning , I presume) was on my right. A seat on my far right for our companion. For the doctor, there was a stool, yellow boots and plastic coats. There was also a small mobile mirror for moms who wish to see their babies crown (not me!). My eyes finally settled on two metal leg rests, which are used to support our legs during stitching. All these things are ready to welcome a new life into the world.
The midwife came and did a VE. I was already 8cm dilated! No wonder it felt painful to walk. I was already in active labour. Full dilation of the cervix is 10cm to enable the babies' heads to appear (or crown), after which comes the pushing stage. It was 7AM when they told me that my doctor was stuck in traffic. If she doesn't come on time, then I'll deliver with the midwife. I was too busy focusing on my breathing to care. I tell you, it's much harder dealing with the pain while lying down and strapped to the CTG. You can't move much or even turn left or right properly. All that lying down puts a pressure on your back, it hurts. At that moment, I totally understood why some mommies decide to give birth at home (yes, a controversial topic among birth advocates these days).
Around 7.45AM the midwife came to do another VE. I was still 8cm dilated! Apparently my contractions were consistent at every 2 minutes but they weren't strong enough. What?! That's over an hour of pain (but not painful enough, I should add) with no progress! I felt so frustrated.. This further proved you need to be free to move about to open the cervix naturally. But rules are rules. In the labour room, you must be on the CTG. Then came the next blow. The midwife informed me that my doctor has an operation at 8.30AM. In fact, she has four surgeries that day. So they're gonna have to speed things up for me if I want to deliver with her. Great. Not only I'm already in pain (but not painful enough), I need to make the pain stronger artificially. If I was a hardcore gentle birthing advocate, I would've declined this unnecessary intervention. But I'm not. I'm just a regular mom who, yes, aims for a drug-free birth, but in the end, I just want a healthy baby and my delivery to be attended by my chosen professionals. In the midst of painful contractions ("surges"!), with Hubs by my side, I agreed to speed things up. I heard that when things are 'sped up artificially' it is much more painful. Good grief. I'm already writhing in pain as it is, I can't imagine how it'll be any further. But, I came all this way to have my delivery with my doctor, so I'm not about to chicken out now.
The midwife returned later with a saline case and syringe. She inserted the drip on my left wrist so that the saline can enter my system to help make my contractions stronger. Hubs asked if it was Pitocin, she said no. Just a regular saline with 'ubat'. I was busy focusing on my breathing to even bother reading the label so the heck with it. As long as no other drugs enter my system, I'm willing to accept this slight intervention.
A few minutes later, the midwife told me that she'll be rupturing my amniotic sack. This is basically breaking my water bag. I was already drowsy from slow breathing and enduring the current pain, what's a bit more eh? I was like, "Bring it on!"
True enough, within minutes I felt volcanic eruptions within my abdomen and spine. At some points, I felt like throwing up. Good thing I didn't eat or drink anything that morning, otherwise, I would've thrown up. I tried to focus. Tried to breathe deeply and slowly. Tried to remember all those gentle birthing techniques -rainbow, alphabets, balloons, waterfall.. Oh crap. All that ain't working anymore. I was in a delirious state. Couldn't talk properly now. Just motioned weakly for Hubs to hold my right hand.
My doctor rushed in around 8.05AM. She was saying something to Hubs and the midwife. I could only hear remnants of their discussion in between my hard contractions.. "Ingat tak sempat tadi".. "Jalan jam!".. "Dua hari dalam perut"..
Several painful minutes of hard contractions went by, but it felt like an eternity. Then I felt the urge. The urge of passing bowel. I told the midwife (doctor went out for a while to put on her scrubs) and she encouraged me, "Kalau rasa nak buang air, lepas kan je." Then she did one final VE. She smiled and said, "Baby's coming."
Even in my delirious state, I'm still embarrassed and didn't want to poop on the delivery bed. Then my doctor showed up. She swiveled the stool and sat right in front of me. They assured me it's OK. They've seen so many things from so many people already. Hehe.. When the urge came again, I can't believe I FORGOT how to push, what more to "breathe my baby out"! They were chanting "Take deep long breaths, then push as you exhale".
Then Hubs said something funny. "Let it go! Let it GO!" It's funny now but at the time, felt like wringing his neck!
You know in movies where women in labour looked awful but managed to push the baby out in a few attempts? That wasn't me. I mean, I still looked awful but I really had trouble pushing. Think I used the wrong technique. I didn't (or couldn't at that moment) push from my abdomen. I pushed from the throat. So needless to say my throat hurts for a few hours after delivery. I almost gave up when I begged Hubs to help me and to "get it out!".. The only thing that motivated me to not actually stop pushing was I didn't want my baby to be forced out. Enough with the jendul that came from my genes, I'm not about to enhance it further with vacuum or forcep!
With every push, I felt a gush of water fell out of me. After several excruciating tries, I felt the 'ring of fire' (a term used when the baby crowns). The doctor further encouraged me "Yes, we can see the head!" The midwife kept cheering "Amik nafas panjang, pastu release!".. Hubs was excited too. "You can do it yang, baby's almost here!"
That's all I needed to hear. In one of the most taxing minutes of my life, I took deep breaths and pushed so hard I swear, I think my internals gushed out as well. I could literally feel my baby's movement as it exited my womb. First, was the head. That part was hard. When it appeared I imagined the doctor skillfully turned the head and untangled the umbilical cord around its neck. Next, was the toughest part, to reveal its shoulders. Then the final push(es).. The entire body slithered out with my doctor's help in gently pulling the baby out. So at exactly 8.23AM, our baby was born. Alhamdulillah! And just like that, all those pain subsided almost instantaneously. That's the miracle of birth.
The doctor immediately placed our baby on my tummy. I saw it changed colour from whitish bluish grey to light purple, then pink. I was too exhausted from all the pushing I couldn't move my arms to embrace it. Then the midwife took the baby and started to remove liquids from its nose and mouth. Patted its back.. and then I heard soft cries. I almost forgot.. "Is it a boy or a girl?" Hubs smiled and said, "It's a girl."
While our little girl was being measured and weighed, I felt contractions again. This time it was me delivering the placenta. The doctor injected me with something to expedite the process. I didn't mind. She told me that I only needed very few stitchings as she let me tore naturally without any episiotomy.
My legs were plopped onto those metal leg rests and the doctor began stitching. Most women find this exercise extremely arduous. It is, but I just squeezed a watermelon out of my precious. So to me, personally, nothing beats that! My doctor's really good too. She's quick (remember, she has surgery at 8.30AM) and I hardly noticed she was down there. Haha.. While I was being stitched, I glanced at Hubs who was reciting the azan and iqamat into our daughter's ears.
We chit-chatted happily despite me feeling extremely tired. I thanked the doctor and the midwife for being supportive of my VBAC intention. Though it wasn't as gentle as I had hoped for, we can only plan and at the end of the day, it is US who need to decide and follow our instincts. Admittedly, I was really afraid of not being able to do a VBAC but the medical team (especially my doctor) supported me and gave me options, whenever possible to accommodate my request.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Padres closer Huston Street has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strain near his pitching shoulder.
The team announced the move Saturday, saying Street has a strained right lat. He left Friday night's game against Miami after issuing a two-out walk in the 10th inning and was scheduled for an MRI exam Saturday.
After the game Friday, Street said he did not think it was a major injury.
San Diego selected the contract of right-hander Miles Mikolas from Double-A San Antonio and transferred infielder Logan Forsythe from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL.
In his first season with the Padres, Street has four saves and a 0.93 ERA in 10 appearances. The 2005 AL Rookie of the Year was acquired from Colorado in a December trade.

"Sometimes, we'll find ourselves having no choice but to wake up from our dreams. There is of course the risk of facing the facts that our dreams are nothing real to begin with, but embracing reality will allow us to get a real inner and outer perspective of our lives - and enable us to live real lives and do real work for dreams that can be made into a reality."

... bedtime)? I had pain that moved around and now seems to have settled in my knee. My chiropractor cannot explain the "moving pains" and the pharmacist denies the pain as a "reaction". I was fine before taking the Aciphex and take no other medications
Responses (2)
Thank you Laurie. I checked the side effects and saw quite a few with the pains I have experienced. My pharmacist denies this could happen and I will be seeing the GI doc next week but I am sure he will deny it also.
Try printing the side effects list and take it with you, it may help. It is your body and the doctor must respect that. There are other medicines to try for GERD.
Good luck,
Great idea Laurie. I will do that.
9 Feb 2011
Laurie is completely right, bone pain is considered a serious side effect, do contact your Dr.
List of possible side effects for future reference:
All the best and take care.-
Thanks for your response. I had previously checked the site you mentioned and saw quite a few with the side effects I experienced. As I told Laurie, I will be seeing my GI doc next week but am sure he will deny this is from Aciphex as did my pharmacist. The only pain that has not left as of yet is around my knee and I am hoping it will resolve itself. Thanks again!
You are very welcome and only hope for you to get well soon.-
Take care.-

Charity Begins at Home for Organization
Brenckle, Lara, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Ron Richard Brown has spent the last 30 years fixing up his house on Foliage Street in Wilkinsburg.
Lately, though, keeping up with the electrical problems, plumbing snafus and painting has been difficult for the retired steel plant maintenance worker.
"We're on a fixed income," said Brown, 63. "We can't keep at it no more. There's no extra money. You got the utilities, the taxes, the school taxes -- by the time you buy food, that's all you can do."
On Saturday, however, Brown stood back as volunteers painted his walls, rigged up banisters and ripped out old wiring. His house was one of 31 projects selected by Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh, a nonprofit group that provides home repairs for low-income senior citizens, for its annual Rebuilding Day.
Executive Director Cindy Gilch said her group receives roughly 400 applications a year for its three home repair programs.
"The need is so great in Pittsburgh, said Gilch. "We have the second-largest population of seniors in the country and the 12th- oldest housing stock. The houses are in critical condition."
Most homeowners the group helps need a minimum $10,000 to $15,000 worth of work, Gilch said. A company or civic group sponsor renovations of each home and generally donate about $3,000 toward the costs. Materials and additional costs are absorbed by the contractors, skilled tradesmen and others who donate their time and talents.
"It keeps our senior citizens in familiar surroundings," said David Lyle, representing the Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters Local 230. …

This is called by ResultSet.get() lookups using a fully-qualified column name (for example, Permission_.permissionId).

The current solution is to wrap the ResultSet with a custom ResultSetWrapper object which uses the following algorithm to lookup the value of the column.
1. First, we check to see if there is a column in the result set with the fully-qualified name.
2. That failing, we check to see if there is a column in the result set with a shortened name (everything after the period).
3. If even fails, we delegate the search to the vender-specific ResultSet try to figure it out with its own algorithms.
Since each lookup involves a linear search against the list of column names in the result set, we cache them to improve performance.
I backported SmartResultSet since it's a new wrapper that is very useful and will most likely be needed for future fixes.

The U.S. Coast Guard received a report of two Humpback Whales in the Beaufort Inlet in Carteret County Friday morning.
Researchers say that a number of things could be driving the whales to our shores, but only for a temporary home.
Experts say Humpbacks have been seen quite a bit over the past few months in the Bogue and Shackleford Banks areas.
Researcher Keith Rittmaster says it's not too uncommon to see Humpbacks or Right Whales this time of year. But he says they are more than likely migrating north from their breeding ground south of our shores to their feeding grounds in Maine.

Oklahoma basketball: Add Je'lon Hornbeak to the list of Sooners who wear a mouth guard
Je'lon Hornbeak got his braces off in seventh grade.
Since that day, his grandmother asked him to wear a mouthpiece and worried when he didn't. They paid "too much money for those teeth" for Hornbeak to chip or lose one in a basketball game.
Then, during OU's 90-76 win over Baylor on Saturday, with his grandmother watching in the stands, Hornbeak's feet got entangled with one of Baylor's reserves.
"I tried to break the fall with my teeth," Hornbeak said with good nature after Oklahoma's ninth conference victory.
Hornbeak's spill resulted in a trip to the dentist Saturday evening, where he got his two chipped teeth fixed — he posted a picture of his freshly repaired pearly whites on Instagram later.
After his spill Saturday, Hornbeak will be added to a small list of Oklahoma basketball players who will have a mouth guard.
But that doesn't mean he'll wear it.
Wearing a mouth guard isn't uncommon in college basketball. While it is mandatory in college football, there are not similar rules for college hoops — although Oklahoma athletics trainer Alex Brown does strongly encourage it.
Both starting forwards Amath M'Baye and Romero Osby have a mouth guard. So does Andrew Fitzgerald, Ryan Spangler and Buddy Hield, according to Brown. But just because they have them doesn't mean they wear them in practice and games — or keep them in their mouths.
"Buddy wore one once he got braces," Brown said. "The problem was he played with it so much it'd be in his hand when he was supposed to be handling the ball."
A basketball player and his mouth guard are like a baby with a teething ring. It's more of a chew toy.
Take Thunder star Kevin Durant. Oklahoma City fans know their star wears a mouth guard because they see it hanging from his mouth and he's constantly chewing on it — same with Clippers star and former Sooner great Blake Griffin.
So why do some of the best players in the professional game today wear them?
Brown isn't quite sure, but believes a lot of it has to do with how a mouth guard can protect from a concussion. That's why, he said, you see boxers wearing them. Brown actually told Griffin after a nasty concussion in college that he needed to wear a mouth guard, and he's noticed Griffin has worn one ever since.
Why don't college players wear them?
"They don't really like them," Brown said. "They make it problematic for talking on defense."
And mouth guards also make it harder to breathe through.
It's also the same reason not all players wear eye goggles. Nobody thinks they need it until they get their eye gouged.
"Hindsight really is 20/20," Brown said.
Now that's the case for Hornbeak. The freshman guard said he thinks it will be best to wear a mouthpiece from here on out.
"I'm trying to put some fangs on them," Hornbeak said, "Or maybe a little 'OU' ..."
Whatever gets him to wear it.
