The Bottom Line / 2002 - Year of the Rat
The publication of the December Consumer Price Index this week provides a good opportunity for summing up 2002, one of the worst years since the establishment of the state from an economic and social standpoint.
The publication of the December Consumer Price Index this week provides a good opportunity for summing up 2002, one of the worst years since the establishment of the state from an economic and social standpoint. Our standard of living retreated to what it was seven years ago, in 1995. Furthermore, the gaps between the richest and the poorest widened significantly, and this constitutes a time bomb.
Mistake of the year: After two years of maintaining a cautious monetary policy, Bank of Israel Governor David Klein caved in to political and public pressure and did the exact opposite of what he had always advocated in the past: He entered into an unnecessary package deal with the government under which he lowered the interest rate by 2 percent at one go in December 2001. The result was a run on the dollar and an outbreak of inflation in the first half of 2002.
Novice of the year: Finance Minister Silvan Shalom came to the famous press conference that followed the package deal "to ensure that Klein indeed lowered the interest rate by 2 percent." Immediately afterward, he declared that now, new investments would flow into the economy and we could look forward to a year of growth. Shalom thus failed to repeal private legislation, and he presided instead over a fiscal policy of "we have money for everything." Only when the financial crisis erupted in June did Shalom understand that it was impossible to continue to be a "good" finance minister, and that he instead had to institute cruel budget cuts. That was the end of Shalom's expensive apprenticeship.
Trick of the year: Prime Minister Ariel Sharon formed the largest cabinet in Israel's history, 28 ministers and 12 deputy ministers (one-third of the Knesset), on the cynical theory that anyone who was in the government would not want to give up his position (and was he ever right when it came to Ephraim Sneh, Dalia Itzik and Matan Vilnai!). Now he suddenly tells us that he plans to abolish five ministries and reduce the size of the cabinet to 18 ministers and four deputy ministers. He also seems to expect us to believe this transparent campaign gimmick.
Populist of the year: Municipal taxes (arnona) should have gone up 6.5 percent this year, in line with the rise in inflation in 2002. The Finance Ministry said this was too much, and the local authorities should streamline instead, so it proposed an increase of only 3 percent. But Interior Minister Eli Yishai decided on a 0-percent increase. But don't think for a second that arnona really will not rise this year. The discussions on the increase will begin the day after election day, January 28. Until then, Yishai will be playing to the public.
Chutzpah of the year: Even in the darkest days of the old Mapai regime, there has never before been a situation in which the entire Histadrut - all its workers, all its institutions and all its resources - was mobilized for a Knesset election campaign. But Histadrut Chairman Amir Peretz continues to finance giant newspaper advertisements and billboards lambasting Sherry Arison and Eli Yones, the owner and CEO of Bank Hapoalim, at a time when the Histadrut does not even have enough money to pay its own employees on time. Peretz, who fired workers on terrible severance terms, is playing the role of the valiant fighter against the rich. Perhaps he thinks Yones should run Bank Hapoalim the way he runs the Histadrut, with a current deficit of NIS 200 million and a cumulative deficit of NIS 1.4 billion, so that Bank Hapoalim will also be in danger of collapsing? Why should the Histadrut be the only one?

Now it may sound strange but #Bipasa-Basu literally went topless for New York Lotto. It was a commercial from New York's Lottery. The commercial features #Bipasa-Basu and #Vivek-Oberoi with a slogan "You can achieve anything with a dollar and a dream"
Watch Video Commercial – [Download Video]
The commercial shows #Vivek-Oberoi in some kind of King Palace going to reach out to bold and beautiful #Bipasa-Basu who is taking shower and getting ready for #Vivek-Oberoi.
According to Hindustan Times, The ad film was shot long time back as a part of an international assignment in 1999 (you can see #Vivek-Oberoi with long hair, he looks much younger). It was a television commercial for the New York Lotto but was shot in India. The ad is directed by Ken Nahoum. The video is posted online by Tommy Kane, who was the art illustrator for this ad.

You have to believe us when we say that Zoya Akhtar is an exotic filmmaker. We are saying this because, after exploring parts of Spain through her movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which was about 3 friends going on a wild road trip. Now the director's next flick which is said to star Priyanka Chopra will be family drama and will be shot on a cruise liner.
The entire movie will be based on a cruise liner, sailing of the coasts of South Africa. Zoya along with her production team has done extensive research in the past two months. She had narrowed down her options for the location of the shoot. However, South Africa was like her only best option logistically. South Africa is also very scenic and the water is clean with varied shades of blue and green.
There are rumours that Farhan Aktar, Priyanka Chopra and Hrithik Roshan will star in the film, but the fact is that the team is still in the process of finalizing the cast. As of now, nothing has yet been confirmed but for the fact that the movie is going to have an ensemble cast.
The production team is still deciding on various details to shoot. Zoya will be acquiring fine details during her recce to incorporate them in her next project so as to provide the finest results.
The movie is expected goes on floors by mid-April 2014. With a rumoured star-studded cast, we can only expect the movie to be even bigger and better than Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara!

Dean :- problem in installing freespire from iso cd
How r you, I have downloaded freespire but when i started installing on the hard disk, after installing upto 37% it give error that "cannot copy image to the disk", so what should i do.
I have downloaded freespire iso from windows xp by using Dap download accelerator, because internet download speed is 29 kbs/s, so i have taken two days to download it, between this i have taken many pause to download.
please give me any solution to the problem, beause live cd is running but the installation is not working.
looking forward to your reply.

How big of a partition do you have? You need about 5gig partition for freespire.
You might ask on the freespire forums. Of course they will tell you to download it again and reburn at a slower speed.
I would suggest trying it on another system to see if the same error occurs. If the same error does not occur then I would think possibly a bad cd drive?
Just guessing!

Hi dean,
I have 9 GB , space to install freespire, but my ram is, i have installed suse linux on it and i want to install linspire on it, but when i boot the cd after some process like usual loging it stops with a black screen
09-12-2006 #4
So you downloaded the image fine - and burned it to a CD without any problems? The problem is when you're installing Freespire?
Have you tried testing the CD image? Freespire proabably has some sort of optional test at the beginning of the install that allows you to test the CD. If your CD is bunk you'll most likely have to re-download the ISO and burn it to a new CD.
If you have connection issues try getting a free CD. If I recall correctly Freespire has some sort of a program through which you can order a free CD.
*EDIT: Looks like the CDs aren't free - but they're dirt cheap.

Pope Expresses Goodwill to Muslims in Letter to Sunni Grand Imam
The overture from Pope Francis seeks to resume dialogue and cooperation in working together for peace and justice.
| Posted 9/24/13 at 1:06 PM
CAIRO — Pope Francis has written a letter to the head of the main cultural institution of Sunni Islam, indicating his respect "for Islam and Muslims" and desire to build mutual understanding and peace.
Ahmed el-Tayeb, grand imam of Cairo's al-Azhar University, one of the highest authorities in Sunni thought, received the Pope's letter marking the end of Ramadan at the hands of Archbishop Jean-Paul Gobel, apostolic nuncio to Egypt, on Sept. 17, Fides News Agency reported.
A statement from the Cairo-based university said that the Holy Father's letter expressed hope in the attempt to further "understanding among Christians and Muslims in the world" and "to build peace and justice."
Secretary of the Patriarchate of Alexandria of the Catholic Copts, Father Hani Bakhoum, told the agency that Pope Francis' letter "is a way of expressing the deep sense of respect and affection that the Catholic Church, the Holy See and the Pope have towards all Muslims, and especially of al-Azhar, which is the most representative institution of moderate Sunni Islam."
"Surely this letter will help, over time, to put aside any misunderstanding and also resumethe bilateral dialogue with the Holy See," he said.
Following an attack on the Coptic Cathedral in Alexandria on New Year's Eve in 2011, dialogue between the Holy See and al-Azhar was interrupted when, according to Fides, the university "interpreted Pope Benedict XVI's statements on the need to protect Christians in Egypt and the Middle East as an undue Western interference."

Sicily, Sunny Sicily, was underwater most of March. I wasn't here til three days ago, but i knew the moment I set foot in the house; water washed down walls, the floor was ponding.
But there's a bright new sky today. Lizards slither. Underwear waves on balconies. Palm and olive branches abound.
Sicilians are still swaddled in winter gear.
Though tourists are convinced it's summer.

Christian and Druze, united by geography, divided by hate
Some of the bloodiest fighting in the hills above Beirut has taken place between two neighboring villages, one Christian, one Druze. Like a Middle East version of the Hatfields and McCoys, the inhabitants of each town see their neighbors as mortal enemies, even though they live only a few hundred yards apart. TIME Correspondent Roberto Suro visited the two Aley-region villages just before the latest clashes erupted. His report:

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Divorce Rumors Untrue, 'It's Perplexing'
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill addressed the recent tabloid fodder over their nearly 20-year marriage this week.
The country music stars have repeatedly shut down rumors that indicate they are headed for a divorce, but the disparaging headlines persist.
"[Rumors] seem to be running like crazy right now for some reason," said Hill, according to People.com.
Additionally, the 46-year-old singer pointed out that shocking headlines sell at today's news outlets.
"I don't know why 'happy' can't be a story," she said.
Nevertheless, Hill and her husband are no strangers to scuttlebutt over their marriage.
"We've been married 17 years and since the first week we were married those things were out," McGraw noted, according to the magazine. "We don't even think about it. The only time we ever think about it is [when we] worry about the kids. But they've been around it too, so they laugh it off."
Married since 1996, McGraw and Hill share three daughters together; Maggie, Gracie and Audrey.
Before reassuring fans that they are "absolutely not" headed for divorce, the couple opened up about life with their daughters.
"I don't recall high school ever being so busy," Hill said.
Meanwhile, McGraw and Hill disproved rumors that their marriage was in trouble curing the CMA Awards in Nashville, Tenn. earlier this month where they lovingly posed for pictures holding hands and sharing kisses.
However, just weeks before the pair were targeted in headlines that suggest divorce. One story postulated that McGraw was "threatening to walk for good" and headed toward a $135 million divorce, according to the National Enquirer. The sensational headline also speculated over the couple's "sexual chemistry."
A rep for the couple clarified that the rumors were "totally false and ridiculous," reported GossipCop.com.
The couple remains a staple in the country music industry, and they are currently on their Soul2Soul tour together.

Faith Hope & Charity – 1970 – Faith Hope & Charity (Maxwell)
Hard to find first LP by this east coast mixed male/female soul group that includes Zulema on vocals, along with two other singers. Production, arrangements, and a fair bit of songwriting by Van McCoy, with that good polished sound he was getting at the time.
It's another fantastic contribution from Groovy Emmanuel who express his feelings right away:
"Well, this is the very first album by this fine Tampa trio, the one they cut for Maxwell at the eve of the 70's. And what an album it is!!! A real joy for the ears treated magnificently by Van the man McCoy. And one out of only two albums with Zulema still in the line up.
And yeah, this is the typical story when two young Tampa school friends, Zulema and Brenda, along with old friend Albert decide, why not, to show the world their true talents of performing the music they loved, music they grew up with, and music their parents used to listen to.. And to drive the story direct to the myth, what a coincidence (!!!) when the talented trio met the master in Van the man, who was driving on the same music route, and to whom they could share the same musical taste, though a decade older (LOL.)
Yeah, I know many people have an affection to such stories, and that has to do with many debut records so far, cos these debuts have a young and fresh sound that can hardly be found in later works even these later works stand better overall. But on one condition.. As far as they can treated by men who have the ability to hear and even see the sounds. And that is the case right here. Ooh baby, I feel the earth move."
This is a 320@ vinyl rip of the original Maxwell records LP including covers. There's no LP reissue and never released on CD. You can buy Faith Hope & Charity vinyls here.

In a land called 'soulsville' there have been thousands of songs composed and sung by singers, songwriters and producers where they receive many accolades and praises through liner notes written on the back of album covers or CD's, by music critics or famous entertainers.
The heart and soul of a song is not always the singer but the enriched fulfilled sounds of the session voices in which I dedicate this special written ode.
There were 3 singers who's beautiful gospel angelic voices created a distinctive signature sound to the music of a former psychology major, songwriter/producer and arranger, the late Van McCoy. The artists were Faith Hope & Charity.
Brenda Hilliard, Zulema Cusseaux and Albert Bailey all hailed from Tampa, Florida and came together as a group in 1969. Legendary songwriter and producer Bob Crewe (who gained fame in the music industry composing tunes for groups like the Rays (Silhouettes) and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons) dubbed the group Faith Hope & Charity.
In 1970, they met Van McCoy who secured a deal with Maxwell Records and composed two of the group's first hits 'So Much Love' b/w 'Let's Try It Over' (No.14 R&B May 30, 1970) and 'Baby Don't Take Your Love' b/w 'Make Love To Me' (No.36 R&B Oct 17, 1970. An LP entitled 'Faith Hope & Charity' was released in 1970.
Faith Hope & Charity signed with Clarence Avant's Sussex label in 1971 and released 5 uncharted singles, 'I Worship The Ground You Walk On' b/w 'Come Back And Finish What You Started', Ghosts Keep Haunting Me' b/w 'No Trespassing', 'We Can Change The World' b/w 'God Bless The World', 'Who Could Love You More Than I' b/w 'I Was There', 'Who Made You' b/w 'Heavy Love (later recorded by David Ruffin in 1975). All above were written and produced by Van McCoy. Sussex released the group's second album 'Heavy Love' in 1972.
Zulema Cusseaux went solo in 1971 and continued to record for Sussex. Hilliard and Bailey continued to work as a duo until 1974, when they were joined by Diane Destry.
Faith Hope & Charity signed with RCA Records in 1975 and struck gold with their masterpiece 'To Each His Own' b/w 'Find A Way'. Written and produced by Van McCoy and Charles Kipps, the song zoomed to the No.1 position on Billboard's R&B singles chart the week ending Oct 25, 1975.
The group was extremely busy lending their voices on such Van McCoy classics as 'The Hustle' and all of tracks on his 'Disco Baby' LP. 'David Ruffin's 'Walk Away From Love' and his 'Who I'm I' LP 'Everything Is Coming Up Love' including the self-titled LP. Melba Moore's 'This Is It' 'Lean On Me' and her self-titled album 'This Is It'. Van McCoy's sophomore album 'The Disco Kid' including the hit single 'Party'.
The musicians featured on these classics tracks were the late Richard Tee and Leon Pendarvis on keyboards, Eric Gale and David Spinozza on guitars, Gordon Edwards on bass, Arthur Jenkins and George Devens on percussions and Steve Gadd on drums. The beautiful horns and strings were arranged by Gene Orloff.
RCA released three more singles on Faith Hope & Charity, 'Don't Go Looking For Love' (No. 38 R&B Feb 1976) 'You're My Peace Of Mind' (No.83 R&B Sept 1976) and the gorgeous 'Life Goes On' (No.65 Feb 19, 1977) The 'Life Goes On' LP was issued in late spring of 1977.
Faith Hope & Charity departed with RCA in 1978 and signed with 20th Century. They released their forth and final LP 'Faith Hope & Charity' with 'Don't Pity Me' b/w 'Find What You Need' (No.20 R&B Sept 1978) and 'Keep Me Baby' b/w 'How Can I Help But Love You'. as their last single releases.
The group disbanded in 1979, around the time Van McCoy entered the gates of soul heaven on July 6, 1979.
(Soulfully Yours, Mike Boone – Chancellor of Soul)
Now, listen up "So Much Love"
You can also get Zulema's albums on here.
Big Thanks to Groovy Emmanuel for sharing his vinyl collection with us and my Jamaican brother Raphy who cleaned – once again – this rip perfectly. Enjoy!!!

It was my Birthday yesterday and 'D'S gave me.......(35 Posts)
Nothing, absolutely nothing. He is 20, has a job and DH and DD (especially) had kept reminding him. I could have cried but didn't as I didn't want to ruin the evening for everyone else.
Yes, he could have bought me a crappy bunch of flowers actually ON my birthday and didn't.
I love my son dearly but he doesn't appreciate us.
A less than generous/thoughtful token to shut you up then OP?
Well you know what to aim at for his 21st then?
perhaps it is time to stop birthday presents all round - no-one really needs any of this clutter.
however a card, a good wish, a meal out etc would all have been good. Ignoring birthdays totally is generally not on. I've stopped being bothered about mine but I know other people find theirs important so off go the cards.
Well ignoring him worked to a certain extent. I finally got a card and a
crappy, covered in glitter bunch of flowers.
Know how you feel dd never bought me one. Still haven't said anything to this day.
I share your birthday too. Happy birthday.
My take on your situation is that he clearly doesn't realise what a good deal he has with you. Stop doing anything for him. At all. If he can't treat you as his mother he should start treating you as his landlady. So make the rent truly reflect market rates.
I appreciate that he us your son, and you love him, but if you had come on here and posted the same thing about your husband you'd have received a multitude of LTBs. At 20 he could be someone's husband and father.
Hi OP I'm sorry Happy Birthday!
I agree with another poster - the underlying issue seems to be his general laziness. Sorry but I think you need to tell him to move out and start looking after himself. He is 20, he's an adult. As long as he remains under your roof he's always going to have the mindset of a child. IMO people need the character-building that comes with moving out of home to really be able to deal with their parents like adults.
As for the birthday and Mother's Day cards/gifts etc - who really cares if he's pulling his weight about the rest? I do think you have to try be a bit less sensitive about that - in the grand scheme of things it's not really relevant whether he gets you anything. It's the general respect/better attitude you're after, really.
I think gardening makes a good point. My mum probably does pander to my brother in the hope that he will suddenly appreciate her worth. But its never going to happen.
The only way my brother would ever learn is if my parents kicked him out and he had to learn. Maybe then he would figure out how good he has it.
IMHO I think your son is the same. Its easier said than done though. I cant imagine leaving my DDs to fend for themselves. But maybe at some point its necessary ro be cruel to be kind!
Much as I hate generalisations, I do think this is more a problem with boys. My DS has gone through phases of being a bit self-centred but now he is older he is fantastic and gets really thoughtful gifts for us. DD has never been like that.
I do think you are right to take a stand on it though. I have a brother in his 50s who is appalling ("forgot" to ring 80+ year old mother when ill in hospital and couldn't visit her as he was playing golf!) I maintain that, firstly our parents, then latterly his wife, have allowed him to get away with too much for too long.
I'd just fucking kill him
Hi wannabe, my DD is one of the reasons why I am taking a stand
or being childish depending on your point of view. I do not want our DD to see 'D'S's behaviour about presents being acceptable when she is 5 years younger and spends ages thinking about other people.
I really feel for you and your parents are being so unfair.
Hi gerard, yes I am sorry I don't know the back story. It seems to me that you are a very deserving mum who has brought up (is bringing up) her dc well and balanced and that, of course, makes this issue with you ds all the more galling and upsetting. It is down to him isn't it? I guess the hard question is that if you don't want that kind of attitude in your home, then he needs to be given an ultimatum to get out. He is perhaps unlikely to understand what the hell you are on about but again, that is for him to come to in his own time. It really isn't a reflection on you. With all due respect to wannabe's mum (and wannabe), you surely don't want to end up supporting that kind of nonsense in the hope that that will earn you the recognition you want from him? I am sure there are others out there with better insight and advise than I can give but wish you well and I'll keep following your progress here!
Happy New Year to all .
My DH is like this, always forgetting family birthdays. Never sends a card, rarely manages to organise a present off his own volition.
Lots of people see it as a male trait it seems, esp the card thing. It's unacceptable in IMO.
I do think his up bringing plays a part, in that he's been allowed to get away with it. This attitude extends into other areas of his life too. It's a mindset I think.
He would give me rubbish last minute
crap gifts or late presents, no card etc. I shamed him into behaving decently & he shaped up. Still no luck with his family though.
Sorry to say my three boys can be like this every year one of them fucks up with some occasion. I texted them once to say "I have four kids and one Mother's Day card" they are lovely blokes in every way apart from this. My birthday was in October and dh arranged a meal out cos he felt bad for me that they forget. One couldn't come but didn't even text me.
I don't get it. I've had cancer too so you'd think they'd make more effort.
I must admit I was less concerned about their Xmas presents this year which was a bit less pressure.
I have two girls now so hope for better in future.
Yes he pays rent. Only £150 a month but it gets him to realise about financial responsibility. You wouldn't believe the arguments when he was told that months ago.
Hi gardening, he is an adult. He knows what to do. I have spent 20 years bringing him up and don't think I should continue to teach him the basics that I know he knows. He is a very intelligent, good looking but selfish young man.
I have a DD (15yrs). Same parents, home, lifestyle but she would never act like her brother.
My brother is 23. He buys no one anything for birthdays or xmas. He owes my mum and dad over £2000 and they gave him their car this year . My mum does all his washing, buys his food, and if hes in when she is will cook it for him. He eats food they have kept specifically for something and chucks the wrappers under his bed. My mum then goes in to his room everyday and makes his bed and tidies up. He is supposed to pay £30 a week but doesnt. He works full time. Fuck knows where his money goes.
I left home at 17 because I couldnt live with my mum. She was forever on at me to help with housework. I got nothing done for me but I still wasnt good enough.
I used to encourage him to go halfs on a present and sign a card but I got sick of carrying him. Hes just a selfish arsehole.
Anyway, my point is that its nothing you have done. I couldnt be more different to my brother. And I really do sympathise. I know how much it hurts my mum when he fails to mark occassions.
Does ds pay rent? Does he have SN? A reason why he finds it difficult to empathise? (ASD? MH problems?) Lingering resentment about childhood issues?
If your dh explained to him quietly that you've been incredibly hurt by his apparent snub, would he care that you were upset?
If he is just genuinely a selfish bastard perhaps it's time he found his own place to live. Then he'd understand a bit about how much he owes you.
Sorry, he resents that he works more hours than DH does now.
Hi gardening, he won't help. I have been through his attitude problems on here before (I know you wouldn't have read it). Myself and DH are self employed . My DH esp worked all the hours God sent and I helped when I could whilst being a SAHM. Obviously we still work hard now but not as much and he resented that he works more hours than DH.
DH & myself gave time to help at school during Primary School years when we could. We also help the local youth club with things.
He just expects to be given everything but he wasn't brought up that way.
Gerard, how much help around the house, both communal and specifically for himself, does your son do? If he is 20, has a job, the issue with your birthday present is perhaps not the real underlying issue. If you can, try and put your disappointment about your present behind you and maybe focus on laying down some general rules about what you expect him to do for himself and to pull his weight for the household he still hopes to be part of. Between you, you could agree how much you are still prepared to do for him, and which tasks you agree he can take on as part of his lodging.
I don't mean to be patronising, I am sure you will have gone through all this already. It just seems that if it is a general attitude thing, and he does seem to have taken you for granted, then perhaps he needs taking back to base!
Good luck
Didn't mean to post twice - am using my phone!
No words of wisdom Gerard, sorry, just huge sympathy. I can imagine how you feel & would be hugely hurt too. If his birthday was sooner it would be easier not to get him anything - as he so deserves - but I know I wouldn't be able to do that next October.
It's so thoughtless - I tell my DS I don't care how much something costs, it's the fact that I've been thought of. Some parents don't give a shit yet their children
seem to think more of them!

Don't get him anything.
Hi all, he has said nothing regarding the text I sent him. Being the sensible grown up I am I am barely speaking to him.
He didn't forget my birthday. He just couldn't be bothered. I realised yesterday that he didn't get me a Christmas present either. A friend of ours popped round yesterday with our presents and 'D'S said I love presents. I said it's nice when someone makes an effort and he told me to get over it!
Happy Birthday gardeningmama. Apart from that I had a lovely time but it is still playing on my mind. He really could do with moving out, maybe he would appreciate us all then.
His birthday isn't until October and at the moment the general view is that he won't get anything.

How To Learn Bahasa Malaysia?
Or rather, how to learn Bahasa Malaysia as a standard language instead of being contented speaking the very easy Creole Malay?
The first step is to assess your motive. While it is not my business to query the purity of your motive, bear in mind that purer motive is the more powerful motivation in learning a language. For example, a desire to communicate Malay-speaking people is a motivation that lasts longer than...flirting.
Next, work on your qualities as a learner:
Adaptability--Learning Bahasa Malaysia implies learning the Malay and Malaysian culture which is not synonymous with monetary gain, prestige and super power. Do you have an open mind? Are you willing to show interest in the food, music and life-style of the Malaysians? can you accept them just the way they are?
Humility--Children have no problem with this quality. For an adult, this may be a challenge as the book How to Learn a Foreign Language points out:"When you are new to the language, you must be willing to speak like-and in the respects, be treated like a child...You have to shed some of your own self- importance and your worries about dignity if you really want to make progress ."
That includes facing the inevitable prospect of other people laughing at your mistakes...just laugh along with them.
Reasonableness--Set reasonable goals for yourself. Don't compare your progress with that of others. Don't force yourself to read books claiming to teach Bahasa Malaysia but bore you stiff or you can never understand with your great IQ. If you don't have the potential to pass for a native speaker, concentrate on communicating clearly.
Patience--It can take a long time to learn Bahasa Malaysia. Adult learners have to put aside time from their busy schedules to study only to notice a lot of inconsistencies. Well, look at it this way, scholars are still sorting things out and everyone is still waiting.
Now, we can talk about the basic learning methods:
Set aside time to study-The good news is regular short periods of time to study is more effective than irregular large chunks of time. Take word lists with you and have a look a them whenever you have a few minutes to spare or paste the list on your bathroom door.
Practise, practise, practise--You cannot learn to swim just by reading, you have to get into the water. So it is with learning Bahasa Malaysia. Interact with people whenever you can.
Put yourself in Malaysia-The best place to absorb the flavour of language, if your circumstances allow you to do so. If not, try to get radio, TV and video programmes in Bahasa Malaysia.
Caution: At times you maybe struggling along at the same level without much improvement. Don't give up. Reflect on your goals, progress and expectations. Don't be shy to ask friends to help and speak to you in Bahasa Malaysia on a regular basis.
When you reach a stage where you can understand Malaysian jokes, you will know it's worth the effort.

Reaching the Unreached with Basic Health Services in Earthquake-Affected Areas
By Sandra Bisin
Allai Valley, North West Frontier Province - Her face remains impassive, as 25-year-old Habiba describes her life since the earthquake destroyed her home, taking the lives of her husband and their four year-old daughter. "I had just given birth to our son. He survived, but my husband was badly injured." Her voice fills with sadness: "We managed to keep him alive for four hours. But there were no health facilities, no doctor around. So he died."
The 8 October 2005 earthquake claimed the lives of over 73,000 people in Pakistan - 384 in Ganthar - the majority of which were children and women. Even before the earthquake, the community of Ganthar (16,000 people), nested in the Allai Valley in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, had very limited access to basic health facilities. Only one doctor had been appointed by the Department of Health to respond to the needs of the entire population of the valley – 145,000 people scattered over 300 square kilometres of mountainous terrain. What is more, in winter time every year, the whole area is inaccessible for three months due to snow fall and landslides.
"It is the first health centre that has ever existed this high-up in these valleys. Before UNICEF set up this facility, it was taking people a minimum of three to four hours to make the journey to the nearest health centre. From now on mothers and children here will have immediate access to professional health services", says Dr Tamur Mueenuddin, UNICEF Emergency Health Officer.
For UNICEF, the earthquake created a window on the long-existing health needs in remote locations of Pakistan, and an opportunity to reach the "unreached" with health services.
In February 2007, UNICEF opened Ganthar transitional health centre, which combines basic preventive and curative services for children, women and men by providing antenatal and neonatal care, gynaecologic and obstetric services, breastfeeding support, growth monitoring for children under five, regular immunization, basic health information and hygiene promotion.
The two-room steel and wood building is used for surgeries, outpatient visits and as a dispensary. UNICEF also provided an ambulance for emergency transportation. While most of the twenty transitional centres built by UNICEF will eventually be replaced by permanent structures, no other agency is committed to construct a longer-term building in Ganthar. For the community, this clinic is their only local health facility and all services provided are free.
Specific care is provided by three health staff: a Lady Health Visitor, a Female Vaccinator and a Medical Technician.
Ganthar is located in a very conservative area of the North West Frontier Province where an austere interpretation of the purdah system, which limits a woman's mobility outside her home, is the rule. Most women from the community would rather stay home or travel long hours to the nearest health facility staffed with female specialists than see a male doctor.
"The deployment of female health staff in the affected areas has enhanced access to health care by women, some of whom saw a female health provider for the first time in their lives. These female staff are also tremendous agents of change for Ganthar community", says Dr Wali Mohammad, UNICEF Assistant Project Officer Health and Nutrition. "Seeing other women working for the benefit of their village and earning a living so their children have better prospects for the future encourages local women from this very conservative community to also engage in income-generating activities."
"I wish the centre had been there before, then perhaps my husband could have been saved", says Habiba. "This is the first time I have come. Yesterday, a health worker visited our home and vaccinated my son, Wasif, against measles and other diseases. He told me about the centre and I decided to come."
Since February 2007, the centre has vaccinated 750 children in Ganthar who had never before been exposed to immunization.
In another room, Rizwana, the 35 year-old Lady Health Visitor is providing health and hygiene advice to a young mother. "Wash your hands before eating and after using the toilets and bathe regularly". She gives the woman a soap bar. "We see a lot of skin infections such as scabies", she says. "A phenomenon which stems from lack of good hygiene practices, and is unfortunately very common in these areas."
"We have around 60 visitors every day. Everyone in the community knows that there is a brand-new centre", Rizwana says.
To ensure quality of service, and as part of a long-term recovery plan, UNICEF in collaboration with federal and provincial health authorities and NGO partners is rolling out an extensive training programme for healthcare providers. In the aftermath of the disaster, over 600 health facility staff were trained in the essential health-related knowledge and skills - benefiting over one million people.
In addition, 2,600 female community health workers have been trained in basic first aid, health monitoring and the provision of essential health services in the home, such as vaccine and essential medicines, and newborn care. They have also been trained to encourage pregnant women to engage skilled birth attendants for home deliveries. This programme needs urgent funding to ensure that families living in remote communities continue receiving these essential health services. Community health workers are expected to reach about 200,000 families.
"This lady is very nice, I can tell her about all the medical problems I have. And the centre is so close to my home. It is such a relief for all women in the community", says Habiba.

Bob Moon: Congress is considering a bill that would pump a billion dollars into summer jobs programs for teens. The plan could boost the employment prospects for youths in New York, which has the lowest level of teen employment of any major U.S. city. Ashley Milne-Tyte has more.
Ashley Milne-Tyte: New York City runs a summer youth employment program placing teens at non-profits and city agencies. But last year, the program had twice as many applicants as jobs. This year, it's facing budget cuts. City Councilman Lew Fidler says such programs don't just help teenagers but the economy, too.
Lew Fidler: This isn't money that kids are taking and saying, "You know what, let me save this for my retirement." It gets spent right away with local merchants for local goods and services.
But why can't New York teens just get a job with those merchants instead? Joe McLaughlin is with Northeastern's Center for Labor Market Studies. He says competition for those jobs is fierce.
Joe McLaughlin: Employers are able to fill a large number of their entry-level jobs with immigrant labor. And in a sense, they kind of become the preferred source of employees, because you don't have to worry about just training someone for the summer months.
McLaughlin says youth who do land work as teenagers go on to earn much more in their 20s than those who are new to the job market.
I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte for Marketplace.

Q I have tried all I can to get a Debian and Fedora dual-booting DVD working. But all my efforts proved abortive. The Smart Manager Bootloader could boot any other CD but not my ISO CD. Could you tell me anything else I can do to boot the CD? There is nothing wrong with the disc itself, the problem is with the BIOS of my machine that is not recognising the ISO on the CD.
A I assume you mean Smart Boot Manager for Smart Manager Bootloader. Your mention of ISO and CD leads me to believe that you have created CD ISO images for the DVD, using mkiso or winmkiso, and written them to CD-Rs. Especially as you also mention Fedora, which wasn't on the CDs. The usual cause of this problem is the way you write the ISO to the disc. If you copy it as a file, the disc will not boot. Look at the contents of one of the discs. If all you see is the single ISO file, you have copied the file instead of using it as an image. You should see a lot of files on each disc. This is because each ISO file is a complete image of the contents of the CD, all the files plus the booting information, so it needs to be copied to the disc in a different way.
In K3b, select Tools > Burn CD Image, pick the image file and click Start. If you want to burn the images in Windows, Nero is probably the best choice.

Me and Julio delays opening
Last week, Hastings' newest restaurant, Me and Julio, had planned on opening its doors to the public this weekend. They even got a day of employee training done. But because of the state government shutdown, the restaurant has been forced to adjust those plans. Me and Julio now plans to open Monday, Aug. 1, as long as the state is up and running by then.
Construction and mechanical work has continued over the past weeks, but the restaurant can't have food or alcohol into the building until it passes its electrical inspection. The inspections, however, are done through the Department of Labor and Industry, which is only offering critical services during the shutdown.
"We can't get food in the restaurant until that's inspected," said Brian Riess, the restaurant's general manager.
There's a final inspection as well that will be delayed by the government shutdown. Me and Julio was already approved for a liquor license by the City of Hastings, but the license needs state approval as well.
While the restaurant waits, workers are finishing up the building, which is nearly finished. Training is expected to begin again at the end of the month, Riess said.
There is some good news. The delay allows Me and Julio a soft opening, which Riess and the owners are more accustomed to, he said. If the Aug. 1 date can be met, they'll have a quiet opening on a Monday, see customers trickle in throughout the week and be running smoothly for the first weekend rush. It will be less stressful than opening on a festival weekend, Riess said.
Me and Julio won't get the publicity bump it could have gotten if its original opening had been possible, but Riess wasn't too concerned. Most people in Hastings already know the restaurant is coming soon, he said.
"Being open for Rivertown Days I think would have given us more exposure to people who are not from Hastings," he said.

Owned from new by my great-aunt, bought by my mum in 1995. Part of our family for 11 years, never really missed a beat. I am still impressed that after being sat for two weeks, it started on the first turn of the key with the temperature 5 degrees below freezing! It did at various times leak oil, petrol, coolant and brake fluid. Oh yes, the brakes - fade-tastic! Not that the engine was capable of getting it up to any sort of speed in a hurry. I suspect the indicated 100 I saw once was a little optimistic! Traded it in for £250, which I reckon is about £250 more than it was worth.
55bhp when new, a heater (that took 10 minutes to deliver anything resembling hot air) and a radio-cassette. You can probably count 4 wheels among the 'spec' , along with the ability to change their direction and speed. Who needs equipment, eh?
Factory Options
Rubber floor mats. That is all.
Does rust count? MP3/WMA CD player and 6x9s in the parcel shelf, replacement front speakers.
Added clear indicators too...je suis le barry!

Fourth try the silver charm for Olympian
Speedskating: MD councillor has 2006
Wednesday, Feb 19, 2014 06:00 am
An MD of Foothills councillor knows that if at first you don�t succeed try, try and try again.
Jason Parker tried three times to make the Canadian Olympic speedskating team and on his fourth attempt, he ended up on the podium with a silver medal in team pursuit at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turino, Italy.
�I missed the Olympic team in 1994, again in 1998, both times I had gotten really sick prior to the trials,� the 38-year-old Parker said. �In 2002, I missed it again. Over those three attempts I was an alternate for four different events, but they don�t send alternates to the Olympics.
�Over that 12-year time frame, anytime someone heard I was on the Canadian team, the first question I was asked was: �Have you been to the Olympics?� For 12 years I had to say no.�
Parker began skating in 1986 when his hometown Yorkton hosted the Saskatchewan Winter Games. He was too young to participate, but he had the bug. He went on to become a two-time recipient of the Saskatchewan Male Athlete of the Year.
Finally in 2006, he could say yes to earning a spot on the Olympic team.
�Even though I made the team I was a little conservative in my emotions until the opening ceremonies, because I thought I might get hit by a truck or break my leg, because I seemed to have the Olympic curse,� he said with a laugh. �I have never been so excited than just before they opened the doors to walk into the opening ceremonies.
�The anticipation, the electricity was so emotional � to represent my country was the biggest sense of pride I had ever had in my life.�
He made the team pursuit team along with Arne Dankers, Steven Elm, Justin Warsylewicz and Denny Morrison. Team pursuit has three-man teams competing against each other head-to-head through eight-laps around the 400m track. The two teams start at the same time, on opposite sides of the oval.
The race has team members skating together, changing positions to take advantage of drafting and to keep one another fresh. The official time is when the final member crosses the finish line.
Canada advanced to the quarterfinals due to its results in qualifying heats.
Parker laced up the skates for Team Canada in the quarterfinal, going against Japan.
�There is a sense of excitement and the sense of fear, knowing that if something happens or if you fall, you are done,� Parker said. �I tried as best as possible to focus on our game plan and the outcome we wanted to have.�
Team Canada skated flawlessly against Japan, beating them by a second-and-a-half.
It would be the last time he would skate at the 2010 Olympics. Parker was not selected to skate in the semifinal or the final.
�I was still on the ice for the warm-up because you never know if there is going to be an injury � I prepared as if I was going to be in the semi or final,� Parker said. �Plus I wanted to be there for support, to help them relax and feel prepared. Obviously, I was disappointed I wasn�t in the final, but that was out of my control.�
The Canadians beat Norway in the semifinal, and met Italy for the gold.
Watching was hard on Parker�s nerves. He stood beside the ice yelling and cheering for his teammates at the final.
It�s a real feeling of helplessness � I found it more nerve-wracking watching than when I did race because it is out of my control,� Parker said. �You want to be out there because then you have some control on the outcome.�
Parker watched as one of Canada�s skater nearly fell early in the race when the ice broke away and it was catch-up for the rest of the race. They finished nearly three seconds behind Italy.
�The guy behind him actually grabbed him so he didn�t fall,� Parker said. �It was tough watching it� There was nothing he could have done. The ice just broke.�
Parker, the elder statesman on the team at 30, put his arm around his devastated teammate and told him: �Hey, man we just won a silver medal at the Olympics which has been our dream our whole lives.�
Parker and his teammates then stood beside Team Italy on the podium.
�It was an amazing experience. They were the host country, it was their first gold medal of the games and their first gold medal in speedskating history,� Parker said. �I actually begin to shutter again just talking about it. I had a sense of peace in my life and a sense of pride for representing my country. It was the last time I ever skated.�

English Lakes has its roots in the hard work and dedication of Robert Buckley, an orphan who was determined that his family would have opportunities in life that he did not have. Robert's son, Norman, purchased Low Wood in 1952 and eventually persuaded Michael Berry, his nephew, to manage the hotel. Michael was instrumental in shaping not just Low Wood, but a whole family of hotels that we know today as English Lakes Hotels, Resorts & Venues.

Through innovative, reliable products and services talented people a responsible approach to business and global citizenship and collaboration with our partners and customers, Samsung is taking the world in imaginative new directions.
How ecobubble works?
Breakthrough Samsung ecobubble technology froths detergent with air and water before the cycle begins, generating cleansing bubbles that penetrate fabrics faster than concentrated detergent. Wash clothes as effectively in cool water as you would in warm water which saves energy.
Durable and Less Noise
The Digital Inverter Motor features an innovative brushless design and uses magnets to drive the drum's rotation. With the new motor, there's less friction, which means there's less noise and vibration. The reduced friction also cuts down on wear and tear of the machine's working parts, so, its durability is guaranteed with a 10-year warranty.
Let Smart Check Diagnose and Troubleshoot Problems for You
Imagine not having to call a repairperson when there's a problem because your washing machine notified you first with the solution. The new Samsung washing machine comes equipped with the innovative Smart Check. Smart Check detects and diagnoses errors at an early stage and provides easy troubleshooting solutions through the use of a smartphone with LED scanning. You don't even have to consult your user manual — you can correct the issue before it becomes a real headache.
Remove Stains - And Extra Steps
There are many ways to dirty your clothes. And one unique way to clean them. Stain Away uses Eco Bubble technology to deeply, gently and effectively clean clothes. Remove the most common stains—such as wine, tomato, and blood, chocolate and grass—as well as less common ones.
Eco Drum Clean
Wash the drum as easily as you clean your clothes by turning the dial to Eco Drum Clean. The eco-friendly cleaning cycle removes detergent residue and dirt buildup—without harsh chemicals. Not sure when to clean the tub? An alarm goes off after every 40 loads to remind you.
Diamond Drum
The streamlined shape of the Diamond Drum provides a powerful yet gentle washing performance. The diamond embossed drum gently moves clothes along the uniquely designed drum, while smaller water holes prevent fabrics from snagging and being damaged. Get fabric care with deep-clean results.
Last Memory
If you're washing load after load without changing the settings, you don't need to reprogram the cycle every time. Last Memory stores the last setting used—even if the washing machine has been turned off. Just press start and wash another load. The time you save will add up fast.
Quick Time Wash
Even when you're super busy, you can still make time for laundry with Quick Time Wash. Simply press the 15' Quick Wash button and clean a load in 15 minutes. Change the timer setting (options include: 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes) based on load size - and your schedule.
