Swine Flu FAQ
Last Updated 29 April 2009
The human swine flu outbreak situation continues to evolve rapidly.
As of 28 April 2009, seven countries have officially reported cases of swine flu A (H1N1) infection. This includes the United States Government, which has reported 64 laboratory confirmed human cases, with no deaths. Mexico has reported 26 confirmed human cases of infection including seven deaths.
As of 28 April 09, there are no known cases of human swine flu in Singapore. 17 cases that were referred for further medical assessment have all tested negative.
Health Alert
On 27 April 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the level of flu pandemic alert to phase 4. A phase 4 alert is characterised by confirmed person-to-person spread of a new flu virus able to cause “community-level” outbreaks. The change to a higher phase of pandemic alert indicates that the likelihood of a pandemic has increased, but not that a pandemic is inevitable.
In line with this, Singapore’s Ministry of Health has elevated our alert level from green to yellow. This is to better brace ourselves to handle situations where there may be isolated imported cases but no sustained local transmission.
Travel Advisory
Members of the public are advised to postpone or avoid non-essential travel to Mexico. In the event that travel to Mexico is unavoidable, the public is advised to take precautionary measures such as avoiding crowded areas and maintaining high standards of personal hygiene at all times.
Upon returning from the affected area (i.e. Mexico and the state of New York, California, Texas and Kansas of the United States), members of the public should continue to maintain high standards of personal hygiene and to monitor their own health.
Members of the public who have travelled to affected places and who develop respiratory illness with fever (Temperature > 38°C) within seven days after their return should put on a surgical mask and seek medical consultation immediately. They should also disclose their travel histories to their doctors.
As part of national level measures, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has already implemented precautionary measures at Singapore Changi Airport on 26 April. Thermal scanners have been deployed at all the Arrival Halls, as well as at the Budget Terminal, the Seletar Airport and arrival halls of major ferry terminals.

Swine Flu One Step Closer to Pandemic - WHO up their level to phase 5 (SG level is consider Red)

April 29, 2009 — Swine flu has pushed the World Health Organization to raise its pandemic alert level to phase 5, which means that a pandemic is imminent.
It's the second time in a week that the World Health Organization (WHO) has raised its pandemic alert level, which ranges from phase 1 (low risk of a pandemic) to phase 6 (a full-blown pandemic is under way).
"The biggest question is, how severe will the pandemic be?" WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said today in a news conference in Geneva. "We do not have all the answers right now, but we will get them."
Chan said the swine flu situation is changing rapidly and the swine flu virus is still "poorly understood."
Chan called on all governments around the world to "immediately activate their pandemic preparedness plan," noting that each country is free to make its own pandemic plans -- and that many countries have been working on pandemic preparedness for years, thanks to concerns about bird flu ( avian flu). "The world is better prepared for an influenza pandemic than at any time in history."
Earlier today, CDC Acting Director Richard Besser, MD, said that the U.S. is at a "pre-pandemic" level and that it matters less what the situation is called than what's being done about it, and that the U.S. is taking "aggressive" action to limit swine flu's impact on human health.
WHO Pandemic Levels
Here is a quick look at the WHO's pandemic alert phases:
Phase 1: A virus in animals has caused no known infections in humans.
Phase 2: An animal flu virus has caused infection in humans.
Phase 3: Sporadic cases or small clusters of disease occur in humans. Human-to-human transmission, if any, is insufficient to cause community-level outbreaks.
Phase 4: The risk for a pandemic is greatly increased but not certain. The disease-causing virus is able to cause community-level outbreaks.
Phase 5: Still not a pandemic, but spread of disease between humans is occurring in more than one country of one WHO region.
Phase 6: This is the pandemic level. Community-level outbreaks are in at least one additional country in a different WHO region from phase 5. A global pandemic is under way.
Note that all of those phases are about how the virus is (or isn't) spreading -- they're not about the severity of the disease.
91 Cases in U.S.
At least 91 people in 10 U.S. states have swine flu, and there has been one death of a swine flu patient in the U.S., according to the CDC.
The patient who died was a 22-month-old boy from Mexico who died at a hospital in the Houston area. He had several underlying health problems, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Here is the CDC's latest tally of lab-confirmed swine flu cases:
New York: 51 cases
Texas: 16 cases
California: 14 cases
Kansas: 2 cases
Massachusetts: 2 cases
Michigan: 2 cases
Arizona: 1 case
Indiana: 1 case
Nevada: 1 case
Ohio: 1 case
But the situation is changing so quickly that "these numbers are almost out of date by the time I say them," Besser said today at a press conference.
Besser noted that health officials expect to see a "spectrum" of disease severity in the U.S. "Unfortunately, I anticipate that we will see more deaths."
Swine Flu Numbers Changing Constantly
The CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) only report lab-confirmed cases -- not probable or suspected cases -- and they only do it once a day. So there may be a lag time before cases confirmed at the state or local level make it into the official tally.
The WHO today reported 114 lab-confirmed swine flu cases worldwide, but that figure is based on yesterday's CDC numbers and doesn't include three cases reported in Germany, one in Austria, and additional cases in New Zealand.
"It is clear that the virus is spreading; we don't see any evidence that it's slowing," Keiji Fukuda, MD, the WHO's assistant director-general for health security and environment, said at a news conference in Geneva earlier today.
Swine Flu Vaccine Work Under Way
Scientists are already working on creating a vaccine against the new swine flu virus.
"We're in full gear; the process is more speedy than [it's] ever been before, " Kathleen Sebelius, the new Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), said today at a joint news conference with the HHS, CDC, FDA, and the National Institutes of Health.
A swine flu vaccine may be created by early fall, but that doesn't mean it will be ready for distribution by then, health officials noted at the news conference.
Developing a vaccine means conducting clinical trials to see if the vaccine is safe, if it works, and what dose is needed, Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said at the news conference.
Fauci predicted that clinical trials of a vaccine against the new flu virus -- which he calls the H1N1 virus -- will "probably begin within a couple of months" and take several months.
'Serious Virus'
During today's joint news conference, a reporter asked why officials are so concerned about the new flu virus, given the fact that normal seasonal flu kills an average of 36,000 people in the U.S. during a typical flu season.
The reason is that it's a new, unpredictable virus that "has pandemic potential," Fauci replied. "It really is something different."
"This is a serious virus, this is a serious outbreak," Besser agreed.
"You don't know if it's going to fizzle out in a couple weeks or become more or less virulent or severe in the diseases it causes," Besser said. "If we could see into the future, that would be wonderful. But that's not the case. That's why we're being aggressive."

Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, 'May I see the new baby now?'

Clues from God -- Fruits
A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish...... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best and more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners... !!!
God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All o f the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys...
Celery, Bok Choy Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well as help to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions h elp clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would
eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also
present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be, after due verification and clarification to designated bank
account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as
gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone bills etcs, while 60% will be for me and
my partners.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of
the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any other country you may advice us to invest in. All other
necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me assoon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Please provide the following information if ineterested in this transaction.

Can You Choose the Gender of Your Next Baby?
- Choose the right position. The rear-entry position is said to be best for couples wanting a boy because it deposits the male sperm closer to the egg and farther away from the vagina's acidic environment. Try the missionary position to go for a girl because shallow penetration makes it harder for weaker male sperm to reach the egg.
- Go for the "O". (If you want a boy, that is.) When a woman climaxes, the vagina becomes less acidic and more alkaline. The alkaline pH level supposedly makes it easier for male sperm to survive. Plus the contractions that accompany an orgasm help move the male sperm into the cervix.
- Check the Chinese conception chart. Legend has it that a Chinese gender chart which has around for some 700 years is capable of predicting what dates will result in a boy or girl conception with over 90 percent accuracy – based on the mother's age and month of conception! To conceive a baby of the desire sex, simply time your intercourse accordingly.

12 quick tips for boosting your happiness at work
Some of these steps are VERY small, but the fact that you’re taking steps to improve your situation itself boosts happiness.
1. Check for eyestrain by putting your hand to your forehead in a salute. If your eyes feel relieved, your work space is too bright.
2. Sit up straight with your shoulders down — every time I adjust my sitting position, I instantly feel more energetic and cheerier.
3. Get a phone headset. I resisted for a long time, because it looks so preposterous, but it’s really much more comfortable. Also, it lets me pace while I talk on the phone, which also looks preposterous, but is energizing.
4. Don’t keep candy on your desk. Studies show that people are much more likely to snack when a treat is within easy reach, and a handful of M&Ms each day could mean a weight gain of five pounds by year’s end.
5. Never say “yes” on the phone; instead, say, “I’ll get back to you.” When you’re actually speaking to someone, the desire to be accommodating is very strong, and can lead you to say “yes” without enough consideration. Along the same lines…
6. When deciding whether to say “yes,” imagine that you’re accepting a job that you’ll have to do next week. Don’t agree to something just because it seems so far off that it doesn’t seem onerous.
7. Don’t let yourself get too hungry. My husband goes without eating for hours and hours at a time, so once, trying to be helpful, I bought him a big bag of granola to keep in his desk. He ate the whole bag in one day and ended up sick as a dog. Lesson: eat regularly.
8. Take care of difficult calls, tasks, or emails as quickly as possible. Procrastinating makes them harder; getting them done gives a big boost of relieved energy.
9. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, think hard about how you spend your time. Be honest. How much time do you spend surfing the internet, looking for things you’ve misplaced, or doing a task that’s really someone else’s job? Also…
10. Let yourself stay ignorant of things you don’t need to know.
11. Go outside at least once a day, and if possible, take a walk. The sunlight and activity is good for your focus, mood, and retention of information.
12. Say “Good morning” to everyone. Social contact is cheering, and if you feel that you’re on good terms with all the people in your office, you’ll be happier each day. Also, it’s polite.

A Muslim in Heaven
A Muslim dies and finds himself before the pearly gates. He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohammed.
Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.- 'Are you Mohammed?' he asks
'No, my son. I am Peter. Mohammed is higher up' And he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds
Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than Peter, he climbs the ladder in great strides. He meets another bearded man.
Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?'
'No, I am Jesus.. Mohammed is higher up still'
Mohammed higher than Jesus! The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher.
Once again, he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question: 'Are you Mohammed?'
'No, I am Moses. Mohammed is higher still'
Exhausted but with heart full of joy, he continues to climb the ladder and, yet again, he meets a man with a beard.
'Are you Mohammed?' he gasps, as he is by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.
'No, my son. I am God. But you look exhausted. Would you like a coffee?'
'Yes please, my Lord'
God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out: 'Mohammed, two coffees, please'.

Danger: Pls read the new fraud cases in Singapore
NEW CASES
Someone shares the following cases :
(1) Today i passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me.... suddenly called me. He said he didn't know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and
asked me to help him withdraw money from the ATM machine. I answerd 'NO!! If you need help, ask the security to help you. 'Then he said 'nevermind..' and continued to find other people to help him...
REMEMBER : ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides,his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be careful of these frauds.
(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that! your neighbours still have lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured...
REMEMBER : Eve n though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open your door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.
(3) This is another incident. You may have heard it before, It is about a lady who she saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER : Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Pass this on and girls, please be careful.. DON'T BE TOO KIND!!
(4) One day, there was an old lady outside my householding 2 packets of sweets. At first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I can realised that she is was foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed she must be asking for money. I sensed there was something wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone else down the road
(5) I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind me, there was an old lady.
She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with her machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The small girl was squeezing in front of me. I thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her hand at the hole of my ATM machine where the money comes out, ready to take away my money. I sensed something wrong and immediately pushes her away. Later I realised that the small girl and the old lady worked together. She was trying to steal my money while the old lady was trying to
distract my attention by asking me questions!!
REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you.
(6) My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more petrol and the petrol station was too far for
him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol.
He said he will pay RM2 for the bottle. So my mum took one coke bottle for him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note. He told my mum he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was smart. She just told him to take it for free...
REMEMBER : obviously that note is fake!! Who would want to pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle!! It's very OBVIOUS that that stranger is a trickster.
(7) this happened in Bali . A newly married couple were having their honeymoon at the hotel.
When both are in the changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around to find her. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. 3 weeks passed and there was still no news about his
missing wife. So he went backand was very dissappointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to watch a 'FREAK SHOW' in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage.
Inside there was a lady without limbs Her body including the face was full of scars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to find that it was her missing wife put there as a means for begging.
(8) This happened in Shanghai . A few yeas ago, a lady reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after 5 years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side one of the streets in Bangkok , Thailand The worst thing is that her cousin sister has no more limbs and her body was tied toa lamp post with a shackle (metal
chain).
(9) Let's just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a
BABY CRYING!! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert to this trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a baby crying to attract your attention. This normally happens at night and when you are only alone in the house be especially.
(10) I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people there... It's also near to the ShenZhen train station and Hong Kong 's Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shopping centre while A and B
waited outside. After waiting for a long, time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to
look for her. When they went in, there were nobody inside there. Both were scared and they called C's phone. There was no one answered. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether they had seen anyboby suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to bring a life person with more out of the toilet without them noticing!. Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out. The police told them that was not the 1st time such a thing happened. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the the toilet of shopping complexes. They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.
REMEMBER : please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a partner with you.
This is my own experience in Singapore
I was paying my phone bill and internet bill at AXS machine in Marsling MRT station. I realized that two old ladies were standing behind me and talking among theirselves in Chinese which I don't understand (I'm not chinese). I thought they are queuing to pay their bills. That's why I quickly finished my payment and walked away from machine. Then, I realised that two of them were following me without doing anything with AXS machine. They walked faster than me and they were getting nearer to me. After that one of them started greeting me in Chinese. Then I replied them in English that I don't speak chinese. One of them can speak English a little bit. She asked me if I'm a Buddhist. I said Yes. Then, she asked me to follow them to pray. I asked them where are they going to pray. They were just pointing to the lift without saying anything. We were talking under a HDB block next to Marsling MRT. I knew that something is wrong. I refused to follow them. One of them had already pressed the lift button and waiting for the lift. Another one was persuading me to follow them when the lift arrives. I refused to go and walked away. Then she held my arm and shout at me in Chinese. I tried to push her hands away and ran all the way until they can't see me. So, be careful. If I had followed them, I'm sure that they will do something to me. I think their age is about 50 to 60. Be careful...

LiFe in SiNgApOre ...
In Singapore , the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings (HDB), and most people have already got used to Paying and Paying (PAP).
Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt (PUB).
If that's not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (PWD) and get more from you.
So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment (MOE)?
With the current Mad Accounting System (MAS), you are forced to Pay the Sum Ahead (PSA), Which will leave some people Permanently Owing Some Banks (POSB).
And forced to live on the Loan Techniques Always (LTA) system. When you fall sick and happen to be admitted to a Money Operating Hospital (MOH), You might be able to use your Cash Prior to Funeral (CPF) fund.
If you are out of luck, you may meet doctors who Never Use Heart (NUH) to treat you, and you will be Sure to Give up Hope (SGH).
To help ease the traffic, motorists have to pay Cash On Expressway (COE).
If that doesn't help, they can always Eternally Raise Prices (ERP) on the roads.
If you don't own a car, you can always make a Mad Rush to the Train (MRT), OR get squashed in a bus Side By Side (SBS).
Lastly, under all these pressures, there are not many places we can relax, not even the good old place we used to go because it has become So Expensive and Nothing To See Actually (SENTOSA)!!!

What u plant is what u reap --The story of CEO
knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.
Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children,he decided to do
something different. He called all the young executives in his company
together.
He said, 'It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have
decided to choose one of you. 'The young executives were shocked, but the
boss continued. 'I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one
very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back
here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have
given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I
choose will be
the next CEO.'
One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a
seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him
get a pot, soil and compost and he planted
the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.
After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about
their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.
Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.
By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a
plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had
killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had
nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however..
He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to
grow.
A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought
their plants to the CEO for inspection.
Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked
him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was
going to be the most embarrassing moment
of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the
board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown
by the other executives.. They were beautiful --
in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of
his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!
When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young
executives..
Jim just tried to hide in the back. 'My, what great plants, trees, and
flowers you have grown,' said the CEO. 'Today one of you will be appointed
the next CEO!'
All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his
empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front.
Jim was terrified. He thought, 'The CEO knows I'm a
failure! Maybe he will have me fired!'
When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed
- Jim told him the story.
The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then
announced to the young executives, 'Behold your next Chief Executive
Officer!
His name is Jim!' Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his
seed.
'How could he be the new CEO?' the others said.
Then the CEO said, 'One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a
seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back
to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds;
they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.
All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When
you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for
the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to
bring me a pot with
my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief
Executive Officer!'
* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust
* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends
* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness
* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment
* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective
* If you plant hard work, you will reap success
* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation
* If you plant faith in GOD, you will reap a harvest
So, be careful what you plant now;
it will determine what you will reap later.

Facebook, YouTube at work make better employees: study
MELBOURNE - Caught Twittering or on Facebook at work? It'll make you a better employee, according to an Australian study that shows surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.
The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the Internet for personal reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive that those who do not.
Study author Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing, said "workplace Internet leisure browsing," or WILB, helped to sharpened workers' concentration.
"People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration," Coker said on the university's website
"Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a days' work, and as a result, increased productivity," he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work engage in WILB.
Among the most popular WILB activities are searching for information about products, reading online news sites, playing online games and watching videos on YouTube.
"Firms spend millions on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online under the pretence that it costs millions in lost productivity," said Coker. "That's not always the case."
However, Coker said the study looked at people who browsed in moderation, or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office.
"Those who behave with Internet addiction tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without," he said.

Do not microwave water
THIS INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE SHARED!
A 26-year old guy decided to have a cup of coffee.
He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before).
I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he told me he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but instantly the water in the cup 'blew-up' into his face.
The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy.
His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face, which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye..
While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven.
If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as: a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is however a much safer choice to boil the water in a
tea kettle.

Thanks for contacting us. I will be happy to assist you.
The e-mail that you received is correct.
Micro waved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.
They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all.
The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or teabag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds before moving it or adding anything into it.

One day, a son asks his dad "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?".
The father says "yes. And they run their first marathon together.
Another time, the son asks his dad again "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?".
The father says "yes son".
One day, the son asks his father " Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms bikin, 42 km running?)
And the dad says "yes".
The story looks simple until you watch the following clip. Just amazing, how much can love be....?

F A M I L Y
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

Slow Dance Poem from cancer patient
This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.She wants to see how many people get her poem. It is quite the poem Please pass it on.
This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital .It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.SLOW DANCE.
Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round?Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground?Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?You
better slow down.Don't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't last.
Do you run through each day On the fly?When you ask How are you?Do you hear the reply?When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head?You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't last.Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow?And in your haste,Not see his sorrow?Ever lost touch,Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say,'Hi'You'd better slow down.Don't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhereYou miss half the fun of getting there.When you worry and hurry through your day,It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away.Life is not a race.Do take it slowerHear the music Before the song is over.
---------FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.--------
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life
to the fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6.
It's not even your money, just your time!PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.

作文名稱:我的家庭
作文名稱:我的家庭
我出生在一個非常貧苦的家庭,記得小時候,爸爸的生活很無聊,整天只能數錢,媽媽也是,整天都在掃錢。
我家住在深山中,每次要出去買東西,都相當麻煩,開保時捷要 5 小時,開賓士也要4 小時;雖然家裡有直昇機,但是開到那邊很難找到停機位,相當的不方便。
我偶爾也會出去逛街,爸媽怕我被綁架,隨身有 20 多個保鑣保護著,大家看到我都嚇跑了,所以我從小就開始被排斥...... 因為家裡是在深山,每次到了冬天都非常冷,爸爸也說,出去買東西很麻煩,所以冬天沒有暖爐 ...沒有棉被 ...每天只能陪著爸媽燒錢取暖 ... 而睡覺的時候,也只能蓋著錢睡覺 (我覺得英鎊比較溫暖) 。
記得小時候,有一次,因為房間太大,? �來不及跑出房間,就尿褲子了。所以,爸爸在我房間放了一台小綿羊機車,好讓我能在 10分鐘以內,衝出 1000 坪的房間,穿越 5公里的走廊,到達 800 坪的廁所 (我常常在走廊迷路 ) 。
爸爸又另外叫人加蓋了 20間 600坪裡面有著250 坪小廁所的破房間。爸爸說:以後如果尿濕了,直 接換房間,如果房間不夠或是太小的話,再告訴爸爸,爸爸再叫人來多蓋幾間,我們的生活很辛苦,你要忍著點!!
現在想起來,爸爸真是個善良的人!!
還記得有一次,家裡遭小偷,因為他用炸藥炸壞了我爸的保險箱,使得裡面的金幣不斷的往外滾出來,結果竟把那個小偷壓死了 ......我覺得那個小偷好可憐 ......
金幣壓死人是很痛的!! 他不像之前那個被鈔票悶死的小偷一樣幸運。
媽媽也常常告訴我,我們家生活非常困苦~要我學著吃苦~
所以我從小養成了刻苦耐勞精神,我將來的志願,是要找 200 隻會吃錢的怪物,好把家裡的錢都吃光,為那些可憐的小偷報仇!!

Tips from the Police
女性安全 --美国警方的提醒
昨晚我参加一个安全防范的研习会 , 让我很惊叹!这场研习会是 由一个叫 Pat Malone 的人主持,他是知名人士的保镳,也为 FBI 工作,并教授警察及海军的 SEALS 徒手格斗 。
========================================
TIPS FROM USA POLICE This is a good reminder for all of us. You can never Read this too many times!
以下建议非常实用,多看几次,受用无穷!
1.Tip from police: The elbow is the strongest point on your body.If you are close enough to use it, do!
警方的提醒:手肘是身体最 有力的部位。距离够近,就善用手肘!
2 ..If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your Wallet and / or purse than you and he will go for the wallet or purse.RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
假如歹徒向你要皮夹或钱包,不要递给他,而是将皮夹或钱包往远处丢去。歹徒很可能对财物比对你有兴趣,他会去拿皮夹或钱包,这是你逃跑的机会。往反方向拼命跑!!
3 .If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car:
Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
假如你被丢进车子的后车厢:
把车后灯踢破,将你的手从洞中伸出去,用力挥手,驾驶 人看不到你,但是其他人看得到。这个方法救过无数人命。
4 ..Women have a tendency to get into their car after shopping,eating,working,etc., and just sit (doing their check book, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.
女性常常在购物、吃饭及下班后进入车子,然后就坐在驾驶座上处理事情(如记帐、列清单等)。千万不要这么做!歹徒会藉机观察情势,闯入车内,拿枪威胁,控制你的行动。
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
进入车内,立即锁门,驶离 现场。
5 .A Few Notes About Getting Into Your Car In a Parking Lot,or Parking
Garage:
在平面停车场及立体停车场的几个注意事项 :
A. Be aware: look around you; look into your car, at the passenger
side floor, and in the back seat. (And check out under the car as you
approach.)
要警觉:环顾四周;察看车 内的乘客座和后座。(接近车子时,留意车底。)
B. If you're parked next to a big van you should enter your car from
the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars..
假如你的车子停在箱型车 旁,则应该从乘客车门进入你的车子。许多连续杀人犯都是趁着女性要进入车中时, 将她们拖进箱型车中加害。
C. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car,you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
观察停放在你左右两边的车 子。如果有男性单独坐在最近的邻车内,最好回到购物中心或办公室,找保全人员或警察陪你回去。宁愿防患未然,也不要终生遗憾。 ( 大惊小怪总比丧命好。 )
6.ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
永远搭电梯,不要走楼梯。 (楼梯间是一个可怕的地方,容易让人形单影只,变成 最好的犯罪场所。 )
7 .If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control,ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ, RUN!
假如歹徒有枪而你并没有受 到他的控制,一定要跑!一百次中,只有四次歹徒会袭击逃跑的目标;即使他攻击你,大多不会是致命的部位,要跑!
8 .As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women? He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
身为女性,我们总是发挥同情心:不要再这样!这样会增加被强暴或是杀害的机会。一个叫泰得 .邦迪( Ted Bundy )的连续杀人犯就是一个相貌堂堂并且受过良好教育的人 ,总是利用女性的同情心。他走路时带着一根手杖或是跛行,经常要求别人 '帮忙 '他进 入车内或是看一下他的车子,趁机绑架受害者 。
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do,DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby cry recorder and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they heard baby cries outside their doors ! when they're home alone at night. Please pass this on! and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby..
最近有人告诉我,他的朋友在晚上听到门口有婴儿在哭,不过当时已经很晚了,而且她认为这件事很奇怪,于是她打电话给警察。警察告诉她: ' 无论如何,绝对不要开门。 '
这位女士表示那声音听起来像是婴儿爬到窗户附近哭,她担心婴儿会爬到街上,被车子碾过。警察告诉她:我们已经派人前往,无论如何不能开门。警方认为这是一个连续杀人犯,利用婴儿哭声的录音带,诱使女性以为有人在外面遗弃婴儿,骗她们出门察看。虽然尚未证实此事,但是警方已经接到许多女性打电话来说,他们晚上独自在家时,听到门外有婴儿的哭声,请将这个消息传给其他人,不要因为听到婴儿的哭声而开门。
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on: America 's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana .
请严肃看待这封电子邮件,因为近期 ' 美国头号通缉犯 ' ( America' s Most Wanted )节目中,报导路易斯安那州的连续杀人犯时,提到了 ' 哭泣婴儿 ' 的假设。
====================================
Please forward this to all the women you know.It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to forward this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.., you may want to pass it on to them, as well.
请转寄这封信给你所有认识的女性朋友,并一个接一个传下去。
我原本只想把这封信转寄给女性朋友,但是男性朋友,假如你爱你的妈妈、太太、姊妹、女儿等等,你也应该把这个讯息传给她们。
