City halal chicken processing hub opens
Yiswaree Palansamy
A NEW halal chicken processing centre was opened at the Pandan City Wholesale Market in Tebrau, Johor Baru, recently.
HYGIENIC AND HALAL: Johor Baru mayor Datuk Mohammad Naim Nasir (third from left) inspecting a processed bird at the newly-opened chicken processing centre.
The RM17 million centre is jointly run by the Johor Baru City Council, Mahabuilders Sdn Bhd and Triton Worldwide Sdn Bhd.
Johor Baru mayor Datuk Mohammad Naim Nasir, who opened the plant, said the centre uses high-end technology from France and its chicken processing procedures were designed to abide by syariah.
He said experienced slaughterers approved by the Johor Islamic Council were hired to ensure the slaughter of chickens followed syariah.
The centre operates up to 12 hours daily.
Its 100 workers had undergone training according to the requirements set by the local and religious authorities, as well as health and veterinary departments.
Naim said the centre was an excellent measure to shut down illegal chicken processing centres in Johor Baru.
"Chicken breeders can now send their birds to the centre to be processed at an affordable rate.
"The centre reflects Johor Baru City Council's seriousness in closing down illegal processing centres and to restore consumers' confidence in the halal status of chicken meat."
He said there are about 20 illegal chicken processing centres in the state capital.
..i like Pandan City Wholesale Market, the best place to buy cheap pirate dvd in malaysia..hehe...

Pembeli kecewa pemaju mungkir janji
Oleh Johan Afandi
[email protected]
JOHOR BAHRU: Impian segelintir pembeli kediaman di JP Perdana di sini untuk berpindah ke kawasan perumahan mereka awal tahun ini, masih pudar berikutan pemaju didakwa akan melanjutkan tempoh masa menyiapkan projek selama enam bulan sehingga setahun.
Seorang pembeli, Wahida Othman, 35, berkata ratusan pembeli kediaman di projek perumahan itu kecewa apabila pemaju mungkir janji apabila gagal menyiapkan rumah mengikut jadual.
Katanya, projek rumah teres dua tingkat berharga antara RM160,000 dan RM280,000 setiap satu unit dilancarkan pada 2005 dan sepatutnya disiapkan dalam tempoh setahun selepas perjanjian jual beli ditandatangani.
Wahida berkata, projek itu bukan saja terbengkalai, malah menimbulkan pelbagai kesulitan di kalangan pembeli unit kediaman.
"Pembeli hilang sabar kerana selain terpaksa menyewa rumah, mereka juga membayar ansuran bulanan dengan institusi kewangan antara RM800 hingga RM1,000 sebulan sejak 2006.
"Misalnya, bagi keluarga saya, kos menyewa mencecah RM600 sebulan, manakala ansuran bulanan yang perlu dibayar pula RM800 sehingga mengakibatkan beban kewangan kami bertambah," katanya.
Seorang lagi pembeli, Sazlina Abdul Samad, 26, berkata bukan saja rumah yang diharapkan tidak dapat diduduki, malah struktur rumah di sesetengah fasa projek dibangunkan di tapak berkenaan juga hanya siap 50 peratus.
Beliau berkata, pihaknya sudah beberapa kali bertanya kepada pemaju tetapi kakitangan syarikat itu memberikan pelbagai alasan tidak munasabah .
Katanya, pembeli menjangka projek itu akan disiapkan pada awal tahun ini, namun tindakan pemaju menangguhkan tempoh selama beberapa bulan menimbulkan tekanan.

Pengguna kecewa tren JB-Singapura lewat
Ekspres Timuran melalui kawasan Hentian Danga City Mall di Johor Bahru, kelmarin.
JOHOR BAHRU 6 Jan. - Perkhidmatan tren ulang-alik menghubungkan Johor Bahru- Singapura yang mula beroperasi semalam nyata mengecewakan pengguna kerana ia tiba lewat satu setengah jam daripada jadual.
Tinjauan Utusan Malaysia di Hentian Danga City Mall semalam mendapati, jadual tren yang sepatutnya tiba di situ pukul 9.37 pagi hanya sampai pada pukul 11 pagi.
Seorang warga emas, Teng Yen Thong, 70, mengakui dia pada mulanya 'bersemangat' untuk menggunakan perkhidmatan baru itu, namun akhirnya kecewa dengan kelewatan tersebut.
"Saya sudah janji dengan anak untuk ambil saya di Tanjung Pagar, Singapura untuk sambut hari lahir cucu yang berumur lapan tahun.
"Sekarang sudah lewat lebih sejam, mana boleh macam ini," katanya yang merupakan seorang ahli perniagaan di bandar raya ini.
Seorang peniaga restoran, Koo Yoke Twee, 50, berkata, dia juga rasa bersalah kerana mengajak dua lagi rakannya untuk melancong ke Singapura dengan menggunakan perkhidmatan tren itu.
"Saya baca dalam surat khabar tentang perkhidmatan ini, sangat senang naik kereta api ke Singapura cuma RM3, 'parking' pun percuma.
"Ingatkan nak cepat, tapi jadi lagi lambat, kasihan kawan saya," katanya.
Seorang suri rumah, Zunaidah Andrawoo, 39, pula meminta Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) memperbaiki perkhidmatan tren tersebut bagi memberi keselesaan pengguna.
"Selain itu, papan tanda sepatutnya dibuat lebih besar supaya mudah nampak dan di sini langsung tiada tempat duduk untuk penumpang menunggu.
"Eskalator juga tidak disediakan sedangkan tangga untuk turun ke hentian adalah setinggi tiga tingkat dan yang paling penting ketepatan masa," katanya yang tinggal di Jalan Tampoi di sini.
Katanya, kemudahan untuk orang kurang upaya (OKU) juga tidak disediakan selain ruang menunggu agak sempit.
Mengenai perkhidmatan tren berkenaan, ia akan singgah di Hentian Danga City Mall sebanyak 10 perjalanan iaitu lima dari Tanjung Pagar-Woodlands-Danga City Mall- Kempas Baru dan lima lagi bagi perjalanan sebaliknya.
Tambang dikenakan bagi perjalanan dari negeri ini adalah RM3, manakala S$3 dari Singapura ke sini.
Jadual perjalanan dari Danga City Mall ke Singapura adalah pada pukul 5.10 pagi, 9.37 pagi, 2.19 petang, 6.50 petang dan 8.08 malam, manakala jadual dari Singapura ke Danga City Mall adalah pukul 5.35 pagi, 7.40 pagi, 2 petang, 7.10 malam dan 10 malam.
Sementara itu, Pegawai Operasi Selatan KTMB Johor Bahru, Khadir Khalid berkata, kelewatan berlaku kerana perkhidmatan tren itu terpaksa memberi laluan kepada Ekspres Timuran yang melalui laluan sama.
"Ekspres Timuran dari pantai timur menghadapi kelewatan kerana terpaksa mengurangkan kelajuan di kawasan berisiko berlaku tanah runtuh terutamanya antara laluan Kuala Lipis dan Kerambit.
"Disebabkan menggunakan laluan sama, perkhidmatan tren ulang-alik yang bertolak dari Gemas terpaksa menunggu di Segamat bagi memberi laluan kepada Ekspres Timuran," katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia.

Johor to relocate squatters
JOHOR BARU: Close to 5,000 riverside squatters living within the multi-billion ringgit Iskandar Malaysia project will be relocated over the next three years.
The move is aimed at cleaning up several rivers in the state, which have become polluted as squatters often use the waterways as dumping grounds. They do not have access to waste disposal due to their status.
Of the squatters targeted, 2,900 live along Sungai Tebrau and 2,000 in Skudai.
Iskandar executive director Ha**run Johari said the first phase of the project would begin this year and be completed within three years, and the squatters would be relocated in phases.
Construction work to house the 2,000 Sungai Skudai settlers would also begin at the same time and be completed in about four years.
He was speaking to the media after a briefing on the latest developments under the project at the Is**kandar Regional Development Of**fice.
At the briefing, attended by some 20 members of the press, Harun and Iskandar Technical and Projects division head Zainol Ra**shid Zainuddin were bombarded with a host of questions.
These included questions on how to resolve the problems that cropped up since the opening of the new Customs, Immigration and Qua*rantine complex.

Lorry protest creates a jam
JOHOR BARU: More than 100 lorry drivers caused a massive traffic jam at the Inner Ring road in the city when they parked their vehicles near the Tanjung Puteri Customs Complex here yesterday.
The two-hour protest from about 10am yesterday was against enforcement by Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers on overloading since Jan 1. They dispersed after talks with police and JPJ officials.
Making a stand: Lorries and trailers parked along the Inner Ring road near the Tanjong Puteri Customs complex disrupted traffic in the area for a good two hours. - Bernama
Lorry operator Andrew Chia, 40, said he had 30 lorries but only 10 drivers willing to work.
"My drivers have received at least eight summonses since the operations started.
"I am still not sure of how much they totalled but the summonses ranged between RM1,000 and RM10,000 each," he said.
Chia said they had to overload because the factory operators had forced them to do so.
He also said that the enforcement was "unfair" as it only involved lorries leaving Malaysia but not those entering the country.
Lorry driver Md Amri Ahmad, 29, said that the enforcement had affected his income.
"My income is based on the number of trips I make each day, and the implementation of the ruling had caused traffic jams that delayed my journeys," he said.
Johor JPJ director Rosly Ramly said the operation was part of their duties.
"We received information from the public that many roads are damaged due to overloaded lorries," he said.
He added that they were ready to discuss with the lorry operators about their problems and that the protest should not have occurred.
"Such protests only cause inconvenience to the other road users," he said.
Since Jan 1, 319 out of 531 lorries inspected were found to be overloaded.
However, Johor Lorry Operators' Association president Leow Hock Tiap said the association was not involved in the protest and that it was organised by individuals.
Leow urged the Government to increase the vehicle's load weight by 30% to help ease their burden following a drop in business due to the economic downturn.
Currently, the approved weight is between eight and 10 tonnes per axle, depending on the size of the vehicle.
"This is lower than the international standard of 11 tonnes, and we hope the Government can make the adjustment accordingly," he said.
Leow also urged JPJ to be more lenient during the Chinese New Year period.

JB needs to reclaim its 'soul'
Satiman Jamin
"BECAUSE it's there!"
That was the response from British mountaineer, the late George Leigh Mallory, when asked in 1924 why he wanted to climb Mount Everest.
ALL GONE: Jalan Wong Ah Fook is a lonely place at night since the opening of the new CIQ building. It was once the centre of various activities.
DESERTED: Beautiful Segget Walk, now empty, could be a venue for street vendors.
Those three words became famous as he followed his heart's desire despite the obstacles he faced.
Johor Baru would do well to take heed of the wisdom behind Mallory's response if it does not want to be reduced to a "hollow" devoid of any soul.
There are lots of empty streets in Johor Baru these days after the opening of the new Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) or the Sultan Iskandar Building.
Motorists no longer have to use the city roads to travel to and from Singapore.
Newspaper reports highlighting the laments of restaurant and sundry shop owners whose businesses had been reduced by as much as 70 per cent since the change of route to the Causeway, reminded me of something similar 16 years ago.
It was the early 1990s and the North-South Highway was nearing completion, linking Bukit Kayu Hitam in the north to Johor Baru in the south.
About a year before the completion, there were similar stories about the fears of Air Hitam residents of their town being bypassed by motorists using the new highway.
The town, bordering Batu Pahat and Kluang, was already a well-known stopover for travellers, for its pottery, agriculture and souvenir products.
Their fears, however, were unfounded with the continued growth of the town and today even motorists from outside Johor take detours from the highway to shop there.
What the doomsayers had failed to take into account was that Air Hitam had its own attractions and people go there to get the unique shopping experience that it offers, never mind which road they have to take to get there.
The vibrancy of Air Hitam had seen the highway taking the role of an important lifeline instead of a noose that choked the breath out of it.
When Johor Baru went from bustling to almost empty overnight after traffic was diverted to the new route, it pointed to the stark reality that the city had no attraction to call its own.
It was obvious that the crowds were there previously just out of convenience as it was right smack on their route.
If it had its own attractions, motorists would not mind taking detours to get to the city centre, just like Air Hitam.
It was not surprising that the rows of tin-roofed stalls of farmers selling their produce in Air Hitam could do better, than the fancy buildings with intricately paved sidewalks of Johor Baru in attracting people.
It was simply because Air Hitam had "soul".
Johor Baru was also vibrant once, when the people were the soul of the place and their daily life was the heartbeat of the city.
However, it became totally dependent on floating communities to lend it some life after the city centre inhabitants were relocated elsewhere with the demolition of the Bukit Chagar and Lumba Kuda flats.
Long before the demolition of the flats, communities like the Jalan Datuk Dalam squatters were evicted when the bus terminal moved to Larkin.
Those were the people who lived in Johor Baru and made the city alive, as intended by the late Sultan Abu Bakar when he founded the city more than a century ago.
Thus, without its own citizens, the city became dependent on visitors to keep it alive but the artery that led them here was severed by the new CIQ building.
It was good that the authorities had taken the trouble to organise events like the Johor Baru Arts Festival but without the involvement of the communities, the events become exposed as one-off implants instead of becoming a culture of its citizens.
Segget Walk, touted to be an attraction when it was opened and said to be a modern promenade with exciting entertainment and refreshment kiosks, is now almost deserted.
Street vendors selling all sorts of trinkets and second hand goods could play a part in attracting visitors to the city if the Johor Baru City Council could issue licences to them to ply their trade in designated areas within the Segget Walk.
These traders could well be the nucleus to make Segget Walk into something like Lorong Kulit in Penang which is well known for classic and antique items sold by street vendors.
MBJB has to admit that the street vendors have their own customers, which was why they persisted despite frequent raids.
The first step to overcome a problem is to acknowledge that it exists as it will only get bigger if treated with denials.
So, quo vadis JB?

Daiman Development undeterred
By Racheal Lee Mei Nyee
Email us your feedback at [email protected]
While other property developers may have delayed their development projects or product launches in view of the global financial crisis, Daiman Development Bhd decided to go ahead with some of its launches for 2009 but on a smaller scale by offering only a limited number of units for sale.
The Johor-based developer has all its projects in the southern region of the state. Its general manager Siah Chin Leong tells City & Country that Daiman, like other developers, is taking a cautious approach in its sales and marketing strategy.
The developer hopes to initiate new products in both its Taman Gaya and Taman Daiman Jaya projects in Johor by mid-2009, depending on how the economic situation turns out in the next couple of months. "This time, we will launch only a few units instead of all the units available. We will open the remaining units if the response is good," says Siah.
Taman Gaya, which is about 13km from Johor Baru, is a freehold 459-acre residential area along the Tebrau corridor within the Iskandar Development Region (IDR). Taman Gaya has a total gross development value (GDV) of RM34.8 million, and Daiman plans to build 87 units of 2-storey cluster houses. However, Siah says the company intends to initially offer only 59 units, which has a built-up of between 2,347 sq ft and 2,467 sq ft each, at about RM170 psf.
"Four years ago, we launched 128 units of 2-storey cluster houses in a gated and guarded enclave here. They have all been completed and the response has been positive, with only 14 units left. But with the current financial turmoil, we have to be cautious about our next launch," adds Siah.
The developer also sees good response from the shop offices in the residential area. Out of 118 units launched in 2007, only eight remain unsold.
To date, Daiman has launched 2-storey terraced houses of different built-up sizes, 1-storey terraced homes and low medium-cost flats in Taman Gaya.
Besides the cluster houses, also in the works are some 76 units of 2-storey semi-detached houses with a total GDV of RM41.8 million. Similarly, the developer does not intend to put up all the semidees for sale during its scheduled launch in 1H2009. Instead it plans to put on the market only 26 units with a built-up of 3,039 sq ft at an indicative price of RM181 psf.
According to Siah, most of its customers are locals buying the houses for their own use and that Daiman has not been affected when the neighbouring Singapore fell into technical recession in October.
Over in the 950-acre integrated township of Taman Daiman Jaya in Kota Tinggi, the developer plans to launch 2-storey cluster houses with a built-up of 2,150 sq ft although it has yet to decide on the selling price.
Meanwhile, Daiman is constructing a commercial building for lease to Econsave Supermarket in the Taman Daiman Jaya township. Expected to be completed next year, the building has a net lettable area of more than 70,000 sq ft.
Although sales have currently slowed down, earlier residential launches in Taman Daiman Jaya had received good response. "We launched some 120 units of single-storey terraced houses for a total GDV of RM20 million in Taman Daiman Jaya in June 2008. The houses, with a built-up area of 1,212 sq ft, were priced at about RM148,000 for each intermediate lot," says Siah.
"The response was very good and some 60% to 70% have been sold. Three months later, we launched another 40 units of 1-storey terraced houses at a higher price of RM158,000 due to the higher cost of construction. Sales slowed down following the higher selling price," adds Siah.
Some 60 units of shop offices launched in Taman Daiman Jaya early 2008 have also received positive response. Out of the 38 non-bumiputera units, 26 units have been sold. The shop offices have a total GDV of RM25.5 million. An intermediate lot has a built-up of 3,840 sq ft and is priced at RM104 psf or RM398,000 per unit.
Daiman has a total land bank of over 2,500 acres, with a GDV valued at RM1.8 billion, in Taman Gaya, Taman Daiman Jaya, Taman Perindustrian Murni, Taman Johor Jaya, Taman Senai Utama and Taman Sri Senai, in which some commercial land parcels in these housing estates are available for lease or sale.
Daiman is also a developer of factories and the company plans to build another six units of 1½-storey semi-detached factories with a total GDV of RM8.7 million in Taman Perindustrian Murni Senai, which is also within the IDR. Daiman sold three out of four units of semi-detached factories launched there. Each new factory unit, with a built-up of 8,815 sq ft, will be priced from RM165 psf.
Cash-rich developer
Cash flow is crucial for developers to get through this tough period. Nevertheless, Daiman is looking for acquisition opportunities. "We are careful in reading the economic data. We need to look at employment rates, the economy and other issues before we move on," says Siah.
"We have the cash and this is a good time for acquisitions. We are basically open to anything, be it properties or land. We are looking for investments in both local and overseas markets," adds Siah. As at Sept 30 last year, Daiman had a total cash pile of RM105.96 million and some RM109 million worth of investments.
"It was reported that there may be a 5% drop in property prices in general and 10% at some locations and in certain segments. Our margins may be eaten up, but we will wait and see what will happen this year," says Siah.
Venturing into Australia
Daiman is eyeing the overseas market for more development opportunities. Siah says the company has already made inroads into Perth, Australia, after it acquired a piece of land along Lockhart Street there last year, through its wholly-owned overseas subsidiary Caversham Universal Ltd. The developer is still looking to acquire good landbank or investments in Perth.
"We wanted to go into Australia and it so happened that there was such an opportunity for us in Perth," says Siah.
He, nevertheless, declined to elaborate on the project as the developer is still working on the development plan of the land.
In the second quarter of last year, Caversham Universal bought some 437,500 shares, or a 70% stake in CNES Property Pty Ltd for USD410,944 (RM1.3 million based on the exchange rate of RM3.153 per USD).
CNES was incorporated in Australia on Feb 6 last year and its principal activity is property development.

A palace in the sun
Fauziah Ismail
Before we moved to JB in 1969, we had lived in a government bungalow in Jalan Bukit Petaling in Kuala Lumpur, which is just behind the Istana Negara.
Istana Bukit Serene
It so happened that when we moved south, the government bungalow allotted to my federal government auditor father was near the Istana Bukit Serene in Johor Baru. The bungalow at Jalan Straits View was situated in front of the palace's main gate. We had lived there until 1973 before moving into our own home in Kempas.
That, I thought, was the nearest I could get to a palace or its grounds.
The term "istana" (palace) is to be used only for the official residences of the Ruler and the Crown Prince, as well as those that have been recognised as Sultanate properties.
They are Istana Bukit Serene, Istana Pasir Pelangi, Istana Besar, Istana Bukit Pelangi, Istana Muar, Istana Batu Pahat and Istana Segamat.
I was informed that the current ruler, Sultan Iskandar, had also decreed last year that all other residences occupied by members of the royal family are to be known as "Kediaman" (residences).
The Istana Bukit Serene, for example, is now the official palace of the current ruler, Sultan Iskandar.
It was in 1935 that Sultan Ibrahim and Sultanah Helen planned for an official palace on a hill overlooking the straits. A considerable amount of work had to be done on the chosen site. Sultan Ibrahim had engaged an English architect to design the palace on the hill that Sultanah Helen had described as "serene."
It has a sprawling garden, and quarters for the Sultan's private secretary and aide-de-camp known as East Lodge and West Lodge respectively.
According to notes provided by the secretary of the Johor Council of Royal Court and Chancellor of the Most Honourable Order of the Crown of Johor, Datuk Abdul Rahim Ramli, the Johor government had presented the istana to Sultan Ibrahim as a gift on his 40th year of reign, along with a new sword of office.
Unfortunately, Sultanah Helen did not step into the palace as she was divorced in 1937. Officially, Sultan Ibrahim moved there in 1953.
Istana Bukit Serene had also served as the headquarters of the Japanese Army in the 1940s. The palace tower had a splendid view of the positions of the Australian Army and Navy across the Straits of Johor.
Stories are varied on why the palace was not damaged during the war.
One story, according to Rahim, was that sometime in January of 1942, Sultan Ibrahim had made an appearance at the palace in full uniform resplendent with the Grand Order of the Rising Sun. Japanese commander General Tomoyuki Yamashita, bowed in respect and deference and assured that the palace would not be damaged in any way.
A more logical explanation would be the fact that the British would not attack the palace because it was the pride and possession of the Sultan of Johor, who had a close relationship with the British royal family.
Although advised by his top military personnel that the palace was an easy target, Yamashita was confident that the British Army would not attack Istana Bukit Serene because it was the pride and possession of the Sultan of Johor. Yamashita's prediction was correct as the British Army did not dare invade the palace. He used the palace tower as a viewing point as it had a bird's eye view of Singapore.
Besides the seven palaces, there were other privately owned ones that were demolished, transferred to the government and used either as accommodation for senior civil servants such as Istana Bukit Jepon or converted for public use like the former Istana Ulu Air Molek.
Rahim pointed out that the palaces built by the Temenggong and Sultan Ibrahim were their personal properties, expended from their own coffers.
The state government had promulgated the Sultanate Lands Enactment No. 146 to ensure the historical palaces and their grounds remain forever and preserved as heritage for the use and enjoyment of the rulers and their descendents.
By virtue of this law, the government provides for the maintenance of the properties and that they cannot be disposed off in any way by the ruler or his successors and descendants.

Midnite Sale sasar RM15 juta
Oleh MAZNAH MOHD. ARSAD
[email protected]
JOHOR BAHRU 19 Jan. - Program Chinese New Year Midnite Sale 2009 @ Johor Bahru di tiga pusat beli-belah di bandar ini dijangka mampu mengumpul perolehan jualan sehingga RM15 juta.
Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Pelancongan, Datuk Dr. Ong Hong Peng berkata, ia mampu dicapai dalam program yang berlangsung tiga hari mulai Jumaat lalu itu berdasarkan kedudukan Johor Bahru yang berhampiran dengan Singapura.
"Kedudukan itu memberi kelebihan kepada kita kerana warga Singapura dan pelancong asing memilih bandar raya ini sebagai syurga membeli-belah.
"Kita turut memperoleh keuntungan dari segi pertukaran wang asing, kuasa beli yang tinggi di kalangan masyarakat tempatan juga menjadi penyumbang besar kepada perolehan jualan," katanya.
Hong Peng berkata demikian kepada para pemberita selepas menghadiri Pelancaran Zoom Chinese New Year Midnite Sale 2009 @ Johor Bahru di Danga City Mall di sini malam tadi.
Program itu dirasmikan oleh Menteri Pelancongan, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
Hadir sama Pemangku Ketua Pengarah Kementerian Pelancongan, Amirrudin Abu dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Danga Bay Sdn. Bhd., Datuk Lim Kang Hoo.
Hong Peng berkata, perolehan itu dijangka dicatatkan oleh peniaga yang membuka premis jualan di Danga bay City Mall, City Square dan Plaza Pelangi dalam tempoh tiga hari.
Katanya, jumlah itu tidak termasuk jualan di pusat dan pasar raya besar lain di bandar raya ini.
"Pusat-pusat jualan ini juga sentiasa sesak terutama pada hujung minggu dan menjelang musim perayaan," katanya.
Sementara itu, Amirrudin berkata, Johor Bahru dipilih sebagai lokasi jualan tengah malam kerana ia mempunyai potensi dan kekuatan tersendiri sebagai tarikan pelancong.
"Johor Bahru mempunyai banyak kompleks beli-belah yang sesuai dikunjungi golongan rendah, sederhana dan kaya.
"Faktor itu menjadikan ia pilihan pelancong dari Singapura dan warga tempatan untuk membeli-belah," katanya.

Anger over delays in JB-Singapore service
By MOHD FARHAAN SHAH
JOHOR BARU: Frequent delays in the train service from Danga City Mall to Singapore have left many commuters irate.
Several felt that although the service was convenient, given the ample parking bays nearby, the delays were unacceptable.
One complainant, retiree Ong Gim Thian, 60, said although he drove into Singapore during the weekends, he found the lanes at the CIQ very narrow.
Amirul: Malaysians working in Singapore find it hard because of the delays.
"It was the first time I took the train and thought it would save me time. But it arrived very late," he said.
The train reached its destination at 11.30am although it was scheduled to arrive at 9.27am.
Ong said that KTMB should ensure its trains arrived according to schedule as this would encourage more people to use the service.
The service which started on Jan 1 involves eight trains making five trips daily between 5.30am and 8.08pm from Johor.
Trains from Singapore ply the route between 5.35am and 10pm.
Another commuter, British expatriate Amirul Azlan said he believed more Singaporeans would take advantage of the service compared to Malaysians.
"I waited two hours for the train. If it was going to be late, they should have told us," he said.
Retiree Baharuddin Harun, 58, said the mall and KTMB needed to fix the problem if they wanted more people to use the service.
"Many shops at the mall are closed. If the shops were open, passengers waiting for late trains could do some shopping," he said.
Meanwhile, KTMB marketing manager Mohd Noordin Kimi said the trains used for the service were express trains and not shuttle trains.
"They come from places like Kelantan, Butterworth and Kuala Lumpur and the journeys are long with stops on the way," he said.
Mohd Noordin said that KTMB hoped to increase the number of trains between Singapore and Kluang in February and was upgrading tracks from Gemas to Johor in a new project.
Hopefully, the journey would be shorter and the trains be more punctual, he said.

Patient : Hello, I have purchased some Viagra online (authentic. Not a derivative) and have read the information but its not clear if you can take Viagra with alcohol ? Also, can an alcoholic take Viagra? Thanks Mick.
Symptoms: .?
Doctor : Though there is no absolute contraindication, it is relative one. Better to avoid Viagra with alcohol. Alcohol itself can produce erectile problem. Better to avoid cause of problem, rather than go along with both have problem and try to treat it too!

Big Rock Club
Founding Fathers, Blame Bertsch
The Southgate House Revival-Revival Room
111 East 6th Street
Newport, KY, 41071
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 18 and over
Watch & Listen
BRC offers an eclectic dish of genre stretching tunes which savvy listeners appreciate. Influenced by wide variety of artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Black Keys, and Dan Deacon; you get a blend of Dinosaur Jr. meeting The Cars.
BRC calls the Cincinnati/Northern KY area home. The band features the creative song writer Curtis Dressman with his excellent guitar and vocal work; as well as doubling on the synthesizer. Along with Tom Dressman on bass, the band recently added the energy of drummer Steve Kovac.
In the fall of 2012, the Sound Images studio in Cincinnati was overflowing with creativity leading to the recent release of the full length album Extinction. The record has received airplay worldwide and on local radio stations. BRC's debut LP was also listed as a top 2012 release by City Beat and continues to received rave reviews. Extinction has launched the band to shows at top venues and festivals.
"Big Rock Club represents a new sound distinct unto themselves while bridging blues, rock, and psychedelic. BRC pulls off the mix of genres with a smooth authenticity missing from a lot of bands today. Guitar solos, riffs, consistent songwriting, and a strong band make Big Rock Club worth a listen." BandBlurb.com
"With a mix of Modern Alt Rock and some vintage Rock & Roll undertones, Extinction has a crisp, big sound that showcases the excellent vocal work of Curtis Dressman. The songs are creatively constructed and have a Pop element (and occasional New Wave synth quirk) that would make them a perfect fit for the playlists of most big "Alternative Rock" radio stations, but the songs are never pandering. There's some great guitar work on Extinction, as well, bringing to mind a mix of Chevelle and Kings of Leon. It's well-crafted, pleasurable Arena Rock without all the pomp and circumstance and points to even greater things in Big Rock Club's future." (M. Breen, CityBeat)
"The Founding Father's are musicians who list greats like Beck, Ween, and LCD Soundsystem among their biggest influence and it seems like the crowds are down with that. Its hard not hear the influence of the Talking Heads when the band hits hard- but only because they love you. When Hands come out of pockets, heads begin to bob, and the scene kids start to listen then you know the sonic stupor that lays over the city has been broken. The Founding Fathers are on the scene. And what a scene it is. Fledgling but on its way up The Founding Fathers are at the crest of a musical wave about to crash in southern Ohio. From the mean streets of Norwood to Riverside bars embracing rock shows Cincinnati is starting to tune in and show up. Thats great news for The Founding Father's who thrive on bigger stages with bigger audiences, feeding off the energy of their ever-growing fan base."

It's time for action: Bacon speaks out on mortgage debt
IT is now time to consider reducing the levels of mortgage debt younger householders are struggling with, the economist and influential consultant Dr Peter Bacon has said.
Dr Bacon, speaking in an exclusive interview with the Irish Independent, said the Government should consider using the proceeds of semi-state sales to write down the mortgages for those in negative equity.
Dr Bacon said a number of urgent initiatives should be considered to persuade the public to reduce their rate of savings as this was the chief dampener on consumer spending. Tackling mortgage debt was one of these, he said.
He also said the Government should consider ways to allow people access to their pensions before retirement.
"The current circumstances are so difficult, you do have to be radical,'' said Dr Bacon. "One way to deal with (mortgage debt) would be for the State to realise the value of its own assets and use the proceeds from these sales to tackle the whole problem of mortgage debt,'' he said.
Dr Bacon complemented the NAMA board on its performance to date, but said the agency should quicken the pace of sales, particularly at the top and bottom end of its portfolio.
He said the agency needed more property management expertise and he would like to see some NAMA joint ventures with private equity.

View obstructed at Schuermann stop sign
Mayor Gene McMurry and Carrollton City Council discussed possible solutions to the obstructed view at the Schuermann Street stop sign Monday night.
Teen Councilwoman Danielle Wheeler said in the June 13 meeting that several people had brought the visibility issue to her attention, a particular problem for those driving on 11th Street toward Locke Road.
Employees and subcontractors for project contractor Walsh Construction Co. are in the process of rehabilitating the existing piers of the Milton-Madison bridge.
Walsh project manager Charlie Gannon and Aaron Stover, an engineer with Michael Baker Jr., Inc, conducted a tour for members of the media last week during which they explained the scope of work underway to replace the aging structure with a new span on the existing piers.
"Pier-strengthening is referred to as the concrete jacket around the piers," Gannon said.
A panel appointed to look at Carroll County's voting districts is recommending only a small change to the current three-district map, despite an increase of more than 6 percent in the county's population.
County Clerk Alice Marsh presented the recommendations from the reapportionment board that balances the county districts by moving a three-block area from District 2 into District 1 to Carroll County Fiscal Court Tuesday.
There will not be a fireworks display at General Butler State Resort Park this year.
On Friday the park issued a written statement explaining that the fireworks display will not be held because funding is not available this year. The statement, from Kentucky Department of Parks Deputy Commissioner Steve Brooks, explained that in recent years the annual show has been supported with funding from city and county municipalities.
A Carrollton resident was cited for vandalizing city property at Point Park.
Carrollton Police Assistant Chief Steve Abbott was patrolling the area on June 6 when he observed Michael B. Humphrey, 20, writing on a picnic table with a paint pen, according to the police report. Humphrey also had 10 other paint pens in his possession and stated that this was the second time he had done this.
A familiar face has officially returned to the Carrollton Police Department.
Officer Tony Stigers began his first day back on the force Friday. He previously worked for the department from 2001-2004. He then took a job with the Owenton Police Department because it was closer to his home in Owen County.
The walls went up last week on a new urgent care center on Floyd Drive, which is expected to open in September.
Kentucky Urgent Care will bring the first dialysis center to Carroll County, along with office space where new specialists can see patients locally, Dr. Mark Miller said in a Friday interview. Miller, along with Drs. Samer Hussein, Ranjhan Gopang and others are partners in the corporation developing the project.
Kentucky's attorney general issued a decision May 23 stating that the city of Carrollton violated the state's Open Records Act on a request for information regarding properties on Polk Street.
The decision, issued by Attorney General Jack Conway and Assistant Attorney General Amye L. Bensenhaver, states that the city violated the open-records law by failing to properly respond to a records request from Salome Frances Spenneburg Kist.

Audi prepares to make a big splash at the Frankfurt Motor Show and has three models for public debuts during the event -- the S5 Sportback, the A4 3.0TDI clean diesel quattro and the A3 1.2 TFSI. It's believed that Audi is planning to bring in as a surprise one or three models too. The S5 Sportback, which is obviously an A5 Sportback derivative, is famous for its five-door coupe configuration and its engine ' a 3.0-liter V6 fitted with a supercharger.
It makes 245kW (333hp) and 440Nm of torque between 2,900rpm and 5,300rpm and allows the car to go from 0 - 100km/h in 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 250km/h. Average fuel consumption is a provisional 9.7 liters per 100km (24.25 mpg US).
The S5 Sportback comes with 18-inch wheels, a quattro sports differential, a seven-speed S Tronic dual-clutch transmission and electrically adjustable S sports seats covered with Silk Nappa leather. The car will be launched in the spring of 2010. Base price will be €57,900 in Germany. The next model to be unveiled is the A4 3.0TDI clean diesel quattro.
Its new common-rail injection system can generate up to 2,000 bar of pressure. The engine features pressure sensors in the combustion chamber and a DeNOX catalytic converter. With these innovations, the car ensures an average of 6.7 liters per 100km (35.11 mpg US) and boasts the ability to go from 0 - 100km/h in 6.2 seconds.
Most importantly, the car meets Euro 6 standards expected to become law in 2014. The third model that Audi confirmed will be shown is the A3 1.2 TFSI with a 1,197cc turbo engine. Weighing 89.5kg (197.31 lbs), the engine produces 77kW (105hp) and has maximum torque of 175Nm between 1,500rpm and 3,500rpm.
Average fuel consumption is 5.5 liters per 100km (42.77 mpg US) and C02 emissions are set at 127g/km. Rumors had been circulating that an RS3 will make its debut at Frankfurt but an Audi official says that there's no possibility of this happening. What is more likely to be seen is the R8 Spyder/Cabriolet which is based on the R8 V10.


text: We are at the beginning stages of planning a trip to Disney for 2011 - before my son turns 10 which means adult prices in WDW's eyes. DH and I are both teachers so we are very limited as to when we can go - school vacations mean prime time at Disney! We also want to visit Sea World and maybe go to the ocean. Our options are: Spring Break in March (21 - 25) or sometime during the summer, most likely later June (last two weeks??) Spring Break limits us to the week plus weekends on either side so 9 days max. During the summer we would be much less limited by time. SO.... what would you do considering time, money, weather, crowds, etc.? I'm sure many of you have first hand experience with these times of year. Are they really bad? The last time we went it was October (a fluke of a schedule that allowed us almost a week if we used our 2 personal days, before that our Spring Break was in February and before that it had been years since either of us had been there).

A Calgary group of entrepreneurial doctors and engineers is hard at work fine-tuning interactive, visual software that will better analyze medical information and empower clinical decision making during patient appointments. Launched in July 2013, SnapDx is a way for physicians and patients to "understand each other in a better way," says co-founder Dr. Rahul Mehta.
Bleary-eyed medical residents who work more than 24 hours without sleep are putting their health at risk, a leading Canadian doctor says. The long hours affect the mental, physical and occupational health of the residents, though patient safety isn't at risk, said Dr. Kevin Imrie, physician-in-chief of the medicine department at Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and vice-president of Education for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons is coming out with his very own clothing line! The line's called: Money Bag Clothing and looks ghetto fab...not rock at all but very urban, fantastic! His inspiration? Fubu of course!
The line features shirts that look a lot like a generic rip-off of the Ed Hardy design. Not to worry, there's even a messenger bag that's covered in tacky money bag print...not exactly the hottest thing to be caught on your shoulder!...just sayin'. The line hasen't yet launched but will at Wasted Space in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Vegas and we have all the details right here.
Just a quick question..who's he trying to pitch this line to..really, who does he think is going to be wearing this crap...TI, Bone-Thugs, Jay-Z? Ummm...that's great, because last time I checked Gene Simmons was a rock-star not a rap-star! Jay-Z could get away with putting out a line like this but Gene Simmons..not so much. Maybe Gene should just stick to singing or better yet, step out on the Hollywood scene and take some style inspiration from rock star ex Velvet Revolver frontman gone solo style icon: Scott Weiland; who's paired with English Laundry and coming out with a killer clothing line that rocks!
Simmons previously stated, "I have owned the trademark Moneybag logo for over 25 years. I have used it on my magazines, book imprints, my record company and a few other areas. Until I met Jason Dussault, I held off on really going out into the marketplace with an apparel line." With that being said, that would have been a great idea, he should just stuck to singing...he obviously needs some style icons to set him straight if this is the best he can came up with. He went on to say: "It has to do with finding a kindred spirit and Jason is it. He and I share a passion for only doing things in life that mean something." Yeah, that didn't sound gay or anything..lets just leave it at that. He didn't stop there, Simmons just couldn't keep his trap shut and went on to say: "Together we are creating cutting-edge, in-your-face fashions."..maybe in his own eyes, but hey...that's all that matters...right?
Moneybag is the bold premium apparel line that is a partnership between Dussault Apparel and Gene Simmons. Designed by Jason Dussault, the line includes hoodies, T's, belts, wallets, purses and hats.
He will however be hosting a launch party for his Moneybag clothing line on Wednesday, January 28 at Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

December 22, 2006
Protectionists enormously exaggerate the negative effects of globalization by attributing virtually all manufacturing job losses to competition with China. We are told by union leaders and some politicians that America is exporting millions of jobs to China. This is absolutely untrue, says William H. Overholt, Director of the Center for Asia Pacific Policy at the RAND Corporation.
Scholarly studies show that most job losses in the United States are attributable to domestic causes such as increased domestic productivity, says Overholt:
- A few years ago it took 40 hours of labor to produce a car, now it takes 15; that translates into a need for fewer workers.
- Protectionists who blame China for such job losses are being intellectually dishonest; in fact, both China and the United States have lost manufacturing jobs due to rising productivity, but China has lost 10 times more -- a decline of about 25 million Chinese jobs from over 54 million in 1994 to under 30 million ten years later.
Globalization helps open economies adjust faster to their real competitive advantages, allowing them to employ their own people, says Overholt:
- The most recent U.S. unemployment rate was 4.4 percent.
- France, along with other relatively protected economies, typically has twice as high a proportion of the population unemployed because their workers are stuck in inappropriate jobs.
- Still more protected economies, like many in Latin America, often run much higher rates of unemployment -- up to 40 percent.
- Economies more open than the United States -- like Singapore and Hong Kong -- historically run lower rates of unemployment.
America will not benefit if an increasing number of opinion leaders and elected officials use exaggerated, partial views of inequality to try to lead us into a future of slower growth, higher unemployment and greater world tensions, says Overholt.

Press Release
Honorable U.S. House Representative Sander Levin (D-Michigan)
Close to 30 states will follow Michigan and lose some Unemployment Insurance in first six months of 2012
February 4, 2012
|Photo Credit-Google Images
U.S. Representative Sander
Levin (D-Michigan) issues
Press Release on jobless
WASHINGTON – Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin, a member of the Conference Committee responsible for the extension of the Unemployment Insurance program and the payroll tax cut, issued the following statement regarding the news that 30,000 Michiganders would no longer qualify for the last 20 weeks of the Federal Extended Benefit Unemployment Insurance (UI) program as of February 18, 2012.
"This is the first wave of tens of thousands of laid-off workers losing their unemployment insurance unless the UI program is extended in Washington these next weeks in a sound and sensitive manner.
"Unfortunately, the two-month extension of unemployment insurance contained a three-year look back provision for evaluating a state's eligibility for the extended benefit program which disadvantaged states like Michigan that have experienced prolonged periods of high unemployment. If the federal extended benefit program is not fixed in the conference committee, close to 30 states will follow Michigan and lose access to this program in the first six months of 2012.
"What makes the situation even more dire, in this period of the highest percentage of long-term unemployed on record, is that the plan passed by the House Republicans in December and promoted by Republicans in Conference Committee negotiations would eliminate a full 40 weeks of unemployment insurance. In Michigan, this would result in a reduction to 46 weeks of unemployment insurance because the Governor earlier signed a bill reducing the state program from 26 to 20 weeks.
"While there is good news in Friday's jobs report that the unemployment rate is going down in the nation and in Michigan, the State unemployment rate of 9.3% is still the 12th highest in the nation. The fact that in the Midwest there are still four unemployed Americans for every job opening illustrates why it is vital to extend the UI program nationally and to fix the unemployment insurance program for high unemployment states. We must recognize that while the economy is getting better, we are digging out of the largest jobs ditch since the Great Depression and now is not the time to abandon families looking for work during this recovery."
Because this debate has been going on for months, State officials were well aware of the impact of the look-back provision on Michigan and should not have been "caught off guard," as indicated by a State spokesperson. To fully make sure that our nation and our state are fully on guard in the coming weeks in confronting the expiration of unemployment insurance, we need to go beyond the numbers.
Since we cannot obtain the names of the unemployed, it is important that their stories be told. My office has been collecting stories from the unemployed for months and I strongly encourage individuals and their families to continue to be in touch through the e-Call to Extend Unemployment Insurance at http://democrats.waysandmeans.house.gov/extendui or through the Extend UI Facebook page www.facebook.com/ExtendUI
The Extended Benefits program – which provides up to 20 weeks of federal unemployment insurance – determines states' eligibility in part through a "look-back" provision that compares the latest three-month average unemployment rate in each state with the three-month average from the previous three years.
States whose unemployment rates are not 10 percent higher during the current period than any of the previous three years become ineligible for Extended Benefits even though, in many cases, their unemployment rates remain stubbornly high. The Extended Benefits program is the last 20 weeks of unemployment insurance after an individual has exhausted the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program and is still looking for work.
At just under $300 a week, the average unemployment benefit nationally equals only one-third of the average weekly wage, and reaches only 70% of the poverty line for a family of four.

Burning fat can be more difficult for some people than for others, but it is not impossible for anyone!
If you are looking for a guide to fat burning pills, I highly suggest you check out this site!
Benefits of Caffeine and Fat Burning Pills
Caffeine is the main ingredient in any fat burning pills or pre workout products on the market, and for good reason too! Caffeine touts an incredibly long list of benefits, making it nearly the most essential part of any fat burning pill.
One of the many benefits of caffeine is that is singlehandedly boosts your metabolism, acts as a powerful thermogenic, and helps you to lose weight fast. Coffee and green tea boost your metabolism due to their caffeine content, and any normal fat burning pills will contain a considerable amount of caffeine.
100mg of caffeine can be considered a moderate amount of caffeine to be taken at one time, but up to 200mg can have positive effects as well. Higher dosages can considerably strain your heart, and are not recommended.
Mobilizing Fat
Along with this, caffeine also can mobilize fat away from your body. The simple "calories in versus calories out" method of fat burning only works to a certain extent. Further fat can only be shed when properly mobilized. Especially for those people who are at a "plateau" and cannot bring their body fat any lower than they currently are, methods of mobilizing body fat need to be used.
Since there are not many true diet pills which work fast without exercise, it is important to use proven substances that will assist you with your fat burning goals!
Training Capacity
Caffeine also can help you lose more body fat overall by enabling you to train more intensely, and become less fatigued during your training. Caffeine is the most widely used stimulant in the world, and clearly can stimulate people to train more frequently and more intensely. Taking moderate amounts of caffeine before training is an excellent way to "wake up" your body, and focus in on your goals for the day.
Along with this, caffeine has been proven to reduce fatigue which onsets during and after training. Caffeine consumption will allow you to train for longer periods of time, and with more intensity overall. Therefore, you will certainly be able to burn more calories, and burn more fat overall.
Concluding Thoughts
If science were to provide us with many different diet pills which work fast without exercise, it is safe to say that the whole world would be using them. Although these types of pills are difficult to find, there are still many different fat burning pills which can greatly assist you with your fat burning goals. The key to burning fat and becoming leaner is certainly to burn more calories than you intake every day, and do so in a healthy manner.
Fat burning pills which have caffeine can help you with your goals in many ways, and are certainly useful in any fat burning program!

Nearly four months after a jury awarded $306,000 to a Portland man Tasered, punched, pepper-sprayed, and tackled by police outside an Old Town nightclub back in 2010, the city attorney's office is asking for permission to appeal the finding.
The request, like most of these kinds of things, is tucked into the Portland City Council's consent agenda—meaning, unless some intrepid citizen flags it for review, it's expected to pass unanimously during next Wednesday's meeting—with no discussion.
The Mercury reported on Gallagher Smith's scuffle with police not long after it happened, as part of a story about Taser policies and how they weren't changing. The Oregonian covered Smith's trial and the verdict last December, detailing what happened to him.
Jurors found that police falsely arrested, battered and maliciously prosecuted Gallagher Smith after he quarreled with a doorman on Nov. 13, 2010, at the Aura nightclub on West Burnside Street. The doorman told Smith he'd have to wait at the end of a long line again even though he'd just been in the club and had gotten a stamp on his hand before stepping outside. The doorman eventually flagged down police.
Both sides agreed that police wouldn't explain why. As officers tried to handcuff Smith, he pulled his arms into his chest. Smith said he was immediately punched in the face. The scuffle that ensued was his attempt to protect himself, he said.
But one of the officers testified during the four-day trial that Smith clenched his fists from the beginning and his body language indicated he was looking to pick a fight. Smith never hit or kicked police, his attorneys said.
Officer Patrick Johnson fired his Taser at Smith, but the probes didn't pierce his skin. Officer Sean McFarland then used his Taser and hit his mark. Police said Smith was defying orders to stay on the ground.
Johnson pepper-sprayed Smith twice and police punched him in the back before half a dozen officers piled on top of him. Smith was handcuffed with his feet tied to his wrists and charged with criminal trespass, interfering with a police officer and resisting arrest.
Smith said he wasn't ignoring police orders, but simply trying to crawl out of traffic after he ended up in the street during the encounter. He suffered a black eye, road rash on his face and Taser marks on his abdomen. He also was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and said he's lost his trust in police.
Harry Auerbach, a deputy attorney who handles appellate cases for the city, has declined to comment, citing the fact that this would be, technically, pending litigation.
Court records show Smith was cleared of criminal charges in connection with the confrontation outside Aura. The O previously reported that the officers involved in Smith's arrest were investigated by internal affairs and cleared of any wrongdoing.
Update 4:44 PM: The council agenda now links to the city attorney's memo (pdf) explaining the request for appeal. The city's argument isn't about the force used against Smith. The city is more concerned the award, because it stemmed from a finding that police lacked probable cause to arrest Smith on a public sidewalk, improperly abrogates what they believe is their all-the-time right to regulate traffic on sidewalks.
WHEREAS, a critical issue in the case concerned whether the police had the authority to order Mr. Smith to leave the area of the public sidewalk outside the nightclub on the basis of information they had received that he was creating a disturbance when the proprietors of the nightclub denied him re-entry into the club, and
WHEREAS, the case was tried to a jury, and, notwithstanding PCC 14C.30.030, which authorizes Portland Police officers to direct pedestrian traffic on any public right of way, the Circuit Court instructed the jury that the police lacked probable cause to arrest Mr. Smith when he disobeyed their order to move away from the sidewalk in front of the nightclub, and
WHEREAS, Risk Management and the Portland Police Bureau desire that the City appeal the judgment in order to vindicate the authority of the police to maintain order, particularly in the downtown Entertainment District
Smith is represented by Greg and Jason Kafoury—and his case bears some striking similarities to another case the Kafourys filed this week. In that case, an arrest caught on surveillance video, officers punched and Tasered Jason Matthew Cox after claiming he was resisting arrest. They used language in their reports very similar to what officers said in Smith's case.

text: A semianalytical finite-element method (FEM) has been developed to simulate electromagnetic borehole resistivity measurements in a layered underground formation. A piecewise homogeneous structure is divided into several layers. Each layer is uniform in the longitudinal direction, and the distributions of geometry and material can be arbitrary on the transverse plane, or cross section, of the layer. To develop this semianalytical finite-element scheme, the standard functional corresponding to the vector wave equation is cast to a new form in the Hamiltonian system based on dual variables that are the transverse components of electric and magnetic fields on the cross section of the layer. The 2D finite elements are used to discretize the cross section, and a high-precision integration scheme based on the Riccati equations is used to exploit the longitudinal homogeneity in the layer. By transforming a 3D layered problem into a series of 2D problems, this semianalytical FEM can save a great amount of computational costs and meanwhile achieve a higher level of accuracy when compared with conventional finite-element schemes. The flexibility of this semianalytical method can be greatly increased by hybridization with conventional finite elements, and this strategy works well for layered structures with local inhomogeneities such as borehole washouts. Several tests, including near-bit resistivity measurement and wave propagation resistivity logging, verified the effectiveness of this semianalytical FEM.

Manufacturers, distributors and retailers face the growing demand to integrate tightly with other members of their supply chains. Key to that integration is knowing where products are as they move from the shop floor to the checkout counter. To achieve these efficiencies, they must make it possible to track products and/or component with bar code labels and/or RFID tags.
The Loftware Label Manager (LLM(tm)) is a label design and printing package that facilitates customer and internal labeling mandates. With the LLM, companies can create any type of bar code and/or RFID 'Smart' label. Low volume printing can be achieved with one of our 'stand alone' printing modules that are included with the LLM.
Labels created with the LLM can also be used with the Loftware Print Server (LPS) for more sophisticated systems requiring large-scale
printing and/or WMS/ERP integration.
Note: RFID 'Smart Label' designs can only be printed using the 'Premier Plus RFID' version of Loftware. The label designer comes standard with all LPS products.

"I am a cat. As yet I have no name"Written by Sōseki Natsume (the pen-name of Natsume Kin'nosuke), I Am a Cat first appeared in ten instalments in the literary magazine Hototogisu (Cuckoo) between 1905 and 1906. Soseki had not intended to write more than a short story but it was so popular that he expanded it to fill a whole book. It is the chronicle of an unloved, unwanted, wandering cat who spends all his time observing humans, from his schoolteacher master, his servant, his horrible children, and more.
- Humans Are the Real Monsters: One of the first things the cat tells us of was how a Shosei (student) catches, boils and eats cats. It doesn't get much better from there when he tries to sneak into the school-teacher's house and repeatedly gets thrown out by the maid. The children spend a lot of their time torturing the poor thing.

Check it out, I colored in two different views from a single optical illusion page from my coloring book:
Fantasy Flip Faces – Optical Illusions Coloring Book
I colored these in using colored pencil, scanned 'em in, and used photoshop to place them in an animated gif that "flips" the page and switches to the other colored in page! I think it looks pretty neat-o when it switched from the elf to the goblin and back!
Also, I created a book of 25 fantasy flip faces (this page is in it) that convert over from an alliance member of "Elvenic" (elves, wizard, unicorn, dragon, ent, etc) to an alliance member of the "Ganespe" (goblins, trolls, imps, sorcerer, orcs, etc.). You will notice at the top/bottom there is some elvenic language, the code for that is in the book, available on Amazon:
Check out the story at the books page and do your part to save Terraflippia! 😉

My newest coloring book is here!
Fantasy Flip Faces: Optical Illusions Coloring Book (Elves vs. Goblins) by 'Trick Slattery
This is the newest coloring book by me ('Trick). Inside is 25 hand drawn fantasy coloring page illustrations / optical illusions, featuring elves, goblins, trolls, a wizard, a unicorn, a dragon, and many other fantasy creatures. Each "side" of a page represents a faction. Pages are duplicated so you can try coloring the other "view".
There is an invisible world that humans cannot see called Terraflippia. It is a world filled with magic, elves, fairies, wizards, goblins, trolls, and other fantasy creatures.
This world is a beautiful world, but it is also one that is divided. The two main factions of the world are the Elvenic and the Ganespe. The Elvenic consists of elves and various allies such as the grand wizard and the unicorns. The Ganespe consists of goblins, trolls, imps, and other alliance members. This division between factions has caused great turmoil in Terraflippia, and no solution has been found. Even the magic of the grand wizard hasn't helped.
The grand wizard, realizing the impending doom of Terraflippia, has recognized that the only way to restore balance and order between the two factions is to generate magic from a parallel world – from the human world. But how? Humans have so much creativity, but how can it be consolidated and converted to magic?
He then remembered the great power that color inherently generates and devised a color magic spell. The wizard added the idea to an artist's thoughts prompting him to create a coloring book that represents the two factions in 25 magical flip illustrations.
The spell was placed on imagery that balances the two factions, and restores magic to Terraflippia.
To the artist the coloring book and this story are just a part of his imagination, but to Terraflippia they are much more. The two factions on each page represent different sides of the same coin, and a balance between the two.
The magic happens when humans around the globe access their creativity to give these illustrations the life of color. Now the magic is up to you. The views you see and the color you give to them have the capacity to save Terraflippia and bring peace.
The grand wizard asks all colorists to color what is in their hearts, but also to remember that appearances aren't everything. What is ugly on the outside isn't always ugly on the inside.
The fate of Terraflippia is in your hands!
Front and back:
Trust me, you've never colored anything like this before! 😉
Here is some quick colored pencil coloring I did to show some of the different "views" of a multiview illusions coloring page:

The birds/owl above is one that I have a similar version in the Multiview Illusions Coloring Book so I didn't add this one. The idea about this one is that you can see either two (side-view) love-birds head to head or one (front-view) owl.
Subscribe to this blog to be updated on new free pages that are added, books, and posts about my artwork.
For more multiview illusions coloring pages pick up a copy of:
Tada! My first coloring book is out on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and will be out for other countries shortly! The idea behind it was to create 25 optical illusion illustrations where one image can be viewed in more than one way! I've duplicated each illustration for a total of 50 coloring pages, single sided on 60lb white paper. This way people can color in each view if they want to, or they have a chance at a do-over.
I first started this when I noticed that there weren't really any other books like it. These types of illusions also work well with my quirky and whimsical style!
Some images take a flip of the page to see something different, some are head on and you just need to look at the image with different eyes. Take a look at a few examples on the back of the book:
If you've enjoyed coloring in pages from this coloring book please leave me a review on Amazon! Your help getting this book noticed will also allow me to create other unique coloring books and artwork. And don't forget to subscribe to my blog on this site, follow me on facebook.com/tricksplace/ and also join the facebook group dedicated to sharing colored in pages from my books or website:
If possible use the hashtags of #tricksplace and #multiviewcoloring on social media sites such as facebook, twitter, instagram, etc when sharing colored pages. I will probably use one of these to automatically display colored images on my website in the future. I'd also love to see what you have done with the artwork and these tags will help me find them. Also, feel free to contact me directly with a link to your colored work. Do not share uncolored pages.
Stay subscribed to my blog if you want to know when other books or free coloring pages are available. I plan to add some freebies shortly!
