Pokok mati akibat WiFi
ALPHEN AAN DEN RIJN, Belanda - Satu kajian oleh sekumpulan penyelidik dari Universiti Wageningen, Belanda mendapati radiasi daripada rangkaian gelombang tanpa wayar (Wifi) mungkin boleh menyebabkan pokok yang terdapat berdekatan dengan peranti penghala Internet tanpa wayar mati, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.
Para saintis itu memperoleh hasil kajian tersebut selepas melakukan kajian ke atas 20 batang pokok ash yang daunnya menjadi kuning.
Hasil kajian itu menimbulkan kebimbangan bahawa radiasi Wifi boleh memberi kesan terhadap tubuh manusia.
Ia turut menyebabkan ibu bapa dan guru-guru berkempen agar peranti Wifi tidak dipasang di sekolah.
Bandar Alphen aan den Rijn yang terletak di barat Belanda mengarahkan kajian itu dilakukan sejak lima tahun lalu selepas mendapati pokok-pokok di kawasan itu mengalami situasi yang tidak normal.
Kajian itu mendapati pokok yang diletakkan paling hampir dengan radio Wifi mempunyai daun berwarna kuning berikutan lapisan kulit luar pokok mulai mati.
Para penyelidik juga mendapati radiasi Wifi boleh menyebabkan pertumbuhan jagung menjadi perlahan. - Agensi

RM300,000 lesap di Internet sebulan
KUALA LUMPUR – Para pembeli pelbagai barangan secara dalam talian melalui Internet di negara ini mengalami kerugian di antara RM200,000 hingga RM300,000 setiap bulan gara-gara tertipu dengan sindiket perniagaan yang sebenarnya tidak wujud.
Presiden Persatuan Pembekal Kandungan Mudah Alih, Azli Paat yang mendedahkan perkara itu berkata, jumlah tersebut berdasarkan lima hingga 10 peratus daripada keseluruhan transaksi urus niaga yang dibuat menerusi pelbagai kaedah pembayaran seperti kad kredit, perbankan Internet atau bayaran secara bersemuka bernilai RM2.5 juta hingga RM3 juta setiap bulan.
Setiap hari, rakyat di negara ini berbelanja kira-kira RM100,000 untuk membeli pelbagai produk secara dalam talian di Internet.
Katanya, terdapat empat proses penting ketika pembelian dalam talian iaitu carian Internet, pengesahan atau perjanjian pembelian, penghantaran dan pembayaran.
“Malangnya penipuan sering berlaku apabila proses ini tidak diikuti. Kaedah yang salah ialah pembayaran dahulu baru penghantaran menyebabkan barang tidak sampai kepada pembeli,” katanya ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.

Korban Merapi lepasi 240 orang
BEBERAPA penduduk membersihkan debu Gunung Merapi di sebatang jalan raya di Bandar Muntilan semalam.
GUNUNG MERAPI, Pulau Jawa - Jumlah kematian akibat letusan Gunung Merapi melepasi angka 240 semalam apabila anggota-anggota penyelamat menemui lebih banyak mayat dari sebuah kampung yang diliputi debu.
Menurut seorang ahli vulkanologi kanan, Sukhyar, setakat ini gunung itu telah menyebabkan 242 orang terbunuh dalam satu siri letusan yang bermula lebih dua minggu lalu.
"Kekuatan Gunung Merapi semakin berkurangan sejak 8 November lalu berbanding dengan hari-hari sebelumnya. Kami cuma mengesan satu atau dua awan panas," katanya kepada pemberita di Yogyakarta.
Gunung itu meletus buat pertama kali pada 26 Oktober lalu.
Menurutnya, kampung-kampung di sekitar gunung itu masih dikategorikan berada dalam keadaan berjaga-jaga tetapi pemerintah mengurangkan jarak zon bahaya kepada 10 kilometer di daerah Boyolali dan Klaten serta sejauh 15 kilometer di daerah Magelang.
"Kami mengekalkan zon bahaya ketika ini iaitu 20 kilometer untuk daerah Sleman kerana awan panas masih bergerak dari arah itu," katanya.
Kira-kira 400,000 penduduk telah melarikan diri sejak gunung itu meletus.
Kebanyakan mayat diliputi dengan debu panas dan batu yang dihambur keluar dari Gunung Merapi pada 5 November lalu. - Agensi

Malaysia tumbang angkara pengadil
REAKSI Safiq yang ternyata kecewa selepas dilayangkan kad merah pada pertemuan menentang China di Stadium Tianhe, Guangzhou, China semalam. Malaysia tewas 0-3.
MALAYSIA tewas 0-3 kepada China pada perlawanan penuh kontroversi dalam saingan Kumpulan A temasya Sukan Asia 2010 di Stadium Tianhe, Guangzhou malam tadi.
Ini kerana pengadil dari Australia, Ben Williams telah melayangkan tiga kad merah kepada Mahali Jasuli, Safiq Rahim dan S. Kunanlan.
Selain itu, lima pemain lain iaitu Fadhli Shas, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha, Amar Rohidan, Asraruddin Putra Omar dan Muslim Ahmad turut dilayangkan kad kuning berbanding pemain China yang langsung tidak diberi sebarang kad.
Jurulatih kebangsaan, K. Rajagobal jelas begitu berang dengan keputusan 'berat sebelah' pengadil yang sama sekali telah meranapkan hasrat Malaysia sekurang-kurangnya mencatat keputusan seri dengan China.
"Ini pertama kali dalam sejarah saya melihat pengadil seteruk ini. Ini juga pertama kali saya bertindak untuk memberi komen terhadap pengadil.
"Saya cukup kecewa. Jika satu kad merah tidak mengapa. Ini kami terpaksa main sembilan pemain sepanjang 55 minit dan lapan pemain pada 10 minit terakhir," kata Rajagobal pada sidang media selepas perlawanan semalam.
Pada minit ke-24, Mahali dilayangkan kad merah setelah didakwa sengaja menyepak bola ke luar padang manakala Safiq turut menerima nasib sama kerana dikatakan cuba membantah keputusan pengadil.
Kunanlan pula menerima kad kuning pertama pada minit ke-79 dan kad kuning kedua seterusnya kad merah seminit kemudian kerana memberikan sepakan penalti.
"Semua pemain telah berkerja keras biarpun terpaksa lawan 11 pemain. Cuma sukar untuk terus bertahan pada baki 45 minit dengan kekurangan pemain," jelasnya.
Gol pertama China dijaringkan Li Jianbin menerusi tandukan selepas sepakan percuma pada minit ke-61 diikuti gol kedua hasil sepakan percuma Zhao Honglue pada minit ke-64 sebelum Zhang Linpeng menyudahkan sepakan penalti pada minit ke-82.
KONTROVERSI... Williams melayangkan kad merah kepada kapten Malaysia, Safiq Rahim (tengah) pada aksi di Stadium Tianhe, Guangzhou semalam. Malaysia tewas 0-3.
Sementara itu, Safiq yang merupakan ketua pasukan negara memberitahu: "Saya hanya tanya pengadil kenapa Mahali dilayangkan kad merah. Kemudian saya diberi kad kuning.
"Apabila saya tanya pula kenapa saya kena kad kuning, pengadil terus keluarkan pula kad merah," katanya.
Malaysia bagaimanapun tetap berjaya layak ke pusingan kedua selaku empat pasukan tempat ketiga terbaik dan akan bertemu juara Kumpulan B, Iran petang esok.

3 ahli Geng Minyak ditembak mati
BEBERAPA anggota polis memeriksa kereta Proton Waja digunakan tiga penjenayah yang ditembak mati di Jalan Kerjaya, Glenmarie di Shah Alam semalam.
SHAH ALAM - Tiga lelaki termasuk seorang yang berusia 16 tahun hanya sempat melarikan barangan hasil samun daripada sebuah stesen minyak sejauh dua kilometer sebelum ditembak mati oleh polis di Jalan Kerjaya, Glenmarie di sini pagi semalam.
Kumpulan penjenayah rakyat tempatan itu yang digelar Geng Minyak sangat dikehendaki polis kerana menjadikan stesen-stesen minyak di kawasan terpencil di sekitar Lembah Klang sebagai sasaran samun.
Kira-kira lima minit sebelum ditembak, tiga anggota kumpulan itu yang turut membabitkan seorang pemuda berusia 20 tahun dan rakannya berusia 22 tahun menyamun sebuah stesen minyak di Jalan Glenmarie U1/1 di sini kira-kira pukul 4.30 pagi.
Timbalan Ketua Polis Selangor, Datuk A. Thaiveegan berkata, mereka bertindak memecahkan cermin pintu stesen minyak itu sehingga mengejutkan dua pekerja warga Bangladesh yang sedang tidur.
Ujarnya, salah seorang daripada pekerja itu sempat mengunci diri di dalam stor manakala rakannya dikepung dan diugut dengan parang.
"Selepas mengambil sejumlah wang, rokok serta telefon bimbit milik seorang pekerja itu, suspek melarikan diri menaiki sebuah kereta Proton Waja yang dilaporkan hilang di Jinjang kira-kira enam bulan lalu," katanya ketika ditemui di tempat kejadian di sini semalam.

Gunung Merapi hambur awan panas
GAMBAR yang dirakamkan dari Klaten, Indonesia menunjukkan Gunung Merapi mengeluarkan awan panas semalam.
JAKARTA - Gunung Merapi di Pulau Jawa masih mengeluarkan awan panas semalam selepas letusan pertama pada 26 Oktober lalu. "Walaupun letusan semakin berkurangan, ia tidak bermakna bahawa aktiviti di gunung tersebut telah perlahan.
"Justeru kami kini mengekalkan status pada peringkat tertinggi," kata ketua sebuah agensi vulkanologi, Surono.
Jumlah kematian akibat letusan itu meningkat kepada 191 orang semalam manakala 320,000 orang terpaksa meninggalkan rumah akibat debu panas.
Bagaimanapun, beberapa syarikat penerbangan antarabangsa seperti Cathay Pasific, ValueAir dan Qantas masih membatalkan penerbangan ke Lapangan Terbang Sukarno-Hatta di Jakarta semalam.
Menurut seorang pegawai yang memantau operasi di lapangan terbang itu, Syaiful Bahri, kebimbangan mengenai debu panas memaksa beberapa penerbangan membatalkan lagi penerbangan yang mendarat dan berlepas.
Sebelum ini, beberapa syarikat penerbangan membatalkan penerbangan ke Jakarta pada minggu lalu selepas Gunung Merapi meletus dengan kuat. - Agensi

Five Reasons to Bring your Heart to Work
Take a minute right now. Get yourself a sheet of paper and a pencil or pen.
Yes, do this right now before you read on.
Then draw a tree. When you have finished your tree, you can read further.
Having done this with groups before I can tell you with some certainty what you see in front of you.
If you are like most people you will have drawn a wonderful tree from the perspective of the ground upward.
This tree has a lot in common with many people you see in workplaces all around the world. You see the tree from the ground up, and you see the physical presence of the people on the shop floor in their cubicles and offices.
Did you know that in most parts of the world the amount of biomass of the roots of a tree is at least as much as what we see above ground? In other words, when we are looking at a tree, we are literally only seeing half of it.
So it is with people. There is much more to us than what can be seen. Unfortunately too many people choose to bring their physical selves (their hands), and even their mental selves (their heads) to work (if they didn't they likely wouldn't have the job for long), but leave a huge portion – their emotional selves (their hearts) at home.
What do you bring to work everyday with you? If you don't bring your heart, you are missing tremendous opportunities. Here are five reasons why you should bring your whole self, heart included, to work each day.
You'll have more energy. We strip ourselves of a major energy stream when we disconnect our emotions when we leave for work. Our heart can provide a deep reservoir we can tap into if we have a belief in what we are doing. This doesn't have to be a one way energy flow however. When we are fully engaged in our work we have more energy to use, but more flows back to us as well.
You'll be healthier. When you bring your whole self to your efforts you will be richly repaid in more than energy alone. That energy will translate to greater health
You'll get more done. Think about it. When do you get more done, when you look at your list of tasks and breathe a heavy sigh, or when you are jazzed about a particular project? You know the answer. What is the difference? Your heart and soul. There is no doubt that you will be more productive, alone, in a team or when leading others if you put your heart into your work.
You'll have more fun. I saved this one for last because it is something, unfortunately too many people don't even think is possible. It isn't if you only bring half your tree to work. But when you allow yourself to fully engage with your work, you will find opportunities for great enjoyment.
Am I suggesting we all become workaholics? Not at all. In fact, quite the opposite. When we bring our full selves to our work, and gain all of the benefits above we will probably not work any longer. We may work harder, but we will definitely work smarter. And we'll enjoy all of it much more.
James Patrick Dunne wrote a poem that became the lyrics to a song recorded by Kenny Rogers and is the Official USA Gymnastics Olympic Theme Song. The chorus summarizes why you should bring your heart to work each day…
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who's to say that we can't make it
It's the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere

You'll have more enthusiasm. Dale Carnegie said "act enthusiastic and you'll be enthusiastic." It is true. Enthusiasm doesn't come from our hands or head. Enthusiasm comes from our heart. Let your passions loose! Let your enthusiasm for a project show! You'll be amazed at how this can change your entire outlook and performance at work.

Malaysia gagal sekat kemaraan Jepun
KUALA LUMPUR: Skuad bola sepak negara gagal menyekat kemaraan pasukan Jepun yang terus mendahului pasukan lain dalam saingan kumpulan A pada Sukan Asia ke-16 di Guangzhou, China apabila kecundang 2-0 di Stadium Huadu hari ini.
Meskipun Malaysia mampu mengawal pemainan dengan baik pada babak awal perlawanan, namun kesilapan barisan pertahanan negara ketika menerima serangan Jepun telah membuka ruang kepada Kensuke Nagai untuk melakukan jaringan pertama pada minit ke-26. Di minit terakhir separuh masa pertama, Malaysia yang kelihatan tertekan dengan kedudukan 0-1 melakukan beberapa percubaan ke arah pintu gol lawan namun gagal untuk membolosinya. Selepas rehat, kedua-dua pasukan negara bermain dengan corak permainan yang lebih agresif namun Jepun lebih bertuah dengan kehadiran gol kedua pada minit ke-64 hasil tandukan kencang Hotaru Yamaguchi.
Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad, berkata beliau berpuas hati dengan persembahan skuad kebangsaan negara biarpun tewas 0-2 kepada pasukan Jepun.
"Kita tidak boleh meletakan harapan tinggi kepada skuad bola sepak negara kerana Jepun adalah pasukan yang kuat berbanding dengan skuad negara, lagi pun beberapa orang tunggak utama negara tidak dapat bermain dengan baik akibat daripada kecederaan," katanya ketika dihubungi.
Jepun menduduki tangga ke-30 dalam ranking dunia manakala Malaysia hanya berada di kedudukan ke-149.
Bagaimanapun, Azzuddin berkata Malaysia masih mempunyai peluang untuk melangkah ke pusingan berikutnya (pusingan kedua) sekiranya mampu menewaskan China pada perlawanan ketiga, pusingan pertama kumpulan A yang dijadualkan berlangsung Sabtu ini.
Pertemuan Malaysia-China dijadualkan berlangsung di Stadium Tianne pada 7 malam waktu tempatan. - BERNAMA Berita Harian 10/11/10

Penjaga Kaabah meninggal dunia
MAKKAH: Penjaga kunci Baitullah, Sheikh Abdul- aziz Al-Sheibi (gambar), 82, meninggal dunia lewat kelmarin.
Jenazahnya dikebumikan di tanah perkuburan Maalla selepas disembahyangkan di Masjidil Haram.
Keluarga Al-Sheibi menjadi penjaga kunci Kaabah sejak zaman jahiliah lagi.
Ia diwarisi anggota tertua dalam keluarga itu dan tidak diturunkan daripada bapa kepada anak. Faktor usia menjadi asas utama dalam mewarisi tugas itu. Semua pemerintah Islam menghormati keluarga Sheikh Abdulaziz sebagai penjaga Kaabah dan kunci rumah Allah itu. Keluarga Al-Sheibi mempunyai pertalian darah dengan Sheiba bin Othman Abitalha yang hidup ketika zaman Nabi Muhammad (SAW) Mereka memegang jawatan berkenaan sejak zaman Qusay bin Kilab yang hidup sebelum Rasulullah (SAW). Sheikh Abdulaziz pula memegang jawatan itu sejak 16 tahun lalu. Terdapat 370 orang dalam keluarga Al-Sheibi ketika ini dan kebanyakan mereka tinggal di Makkah. Baitullah dicuci dua kali setahun iaitu pada pertengahan Syaaban dan pertengahan Zulqaedah, menggunakan air zamzam yang dicampur dengan air mawar bersama haruman Oud.
Sebelum ini, Kaabah dibuka tiga kali sebulan untuk orang ramai bersolat di dalamnya tetapi amalan itu dihentikan apabila terlalu ramai yang cuba memasukinya. Kunci Kaabah tidak berubah apabila pintunya ditukar, termasuk pintu yang terbaru, yang diperbuat daripada emas tulen. - Agensi

Secrets to Getting Free Publicity for Your Business
Advertising is telling the world how great you are, while publicity is having others tell the world how great you are. Companies and organizations that understand the importance of publicity are generally more successful than those who use advertising alone to reach their target audiences.
Newspapers, magazines and radio and television news programs are filled with stories about businesses and organizations. Those who know how to present materials professionally to the right people will get media coverage for free, while those who don't understand how publicity works have to rely on large advertising budgets to reach their audiences, usually with less impressive results.
"If you can get a news organization to report about your event or praise something you're doing, you have gained an enormous amount of credibility that simply couldn't be generated through paid advertising," said David Forman, a public relations veteran and author of "Publicity Professor," a workbook that teaches business owners how to get free news coverage.
The first step in reaching out to media professionals is to create an appealing press release. Its main purpose is to get an editor or producer interested in what you have to say or in what you are doing. It should contain enough information, specifics and quotes that a writer can craft a story from it without ever having to call you.
A media alert is another tool for getting press coverage. Its purpose is to give news assignment desks the specifics about an event in a way that entices editors or television news directors to send a reporter or camera crew.
