We had been using ballpen to write but do you know the invention history of it..?

Here I would like to share about how and who had created it.

Gimble is the first ballpen inventor. The story begins in 1888 when John Loud, an American leather tanner, patented a roller-ball-tip marking pen. Loud’s invention featured a reservoir of ink and a roller ball that applied the thick ink to leather hides. John Loud’s pen was never produced, nor were any of the other 350 patents for ball-type pens issued over the next thirty years. The major problem was the ink - if the ink was thin the pens leaked, and if it was too thick, they clogged. Depending on the temperature, the pen would sometimes do both. It continue to develop by other inventor until Marcel Bich, a French manufacturer of penholders and pen cases. Bich was appalled at the poor quality of the ballpoint pens he had seen and he was also shocked at their high cost. But he recognized that the ballpoint was a firmly established innovation and he resolved to design a high-quality pen at a low price that would scoop the market.
I am amazed on how difficult to invent a single ballpen and yet it looks very simple in physical appearences.

Did you know anime naruto? Naruto are my favourite anime cartoon.In the story of naruto I like the characteristic of Gaara.Some of his personality are same like mine.
Gaara's drive to kill is his most fundamental characteristic at the start of the series. After his introduction in the yearly ninja examinations, Gaara has little interest in the actual examination but rather in seeking to kill or seriously maim anyone who makes the mistake of insulting him.As he battles stronger opponents during the course of the examinations, Gaara begins to believe that he must kill anyone he perceives as stronger than him because they are a threat to his existence.
Gaara's quest for stronger opponents leads to his crossing paths with Naruto Uzumaki. Recognizing Naruto as a formidable opponent, Gaara threatens the life of one of Naruto's friends to force him to fight. He treats his battle with Naruto as a contest to determine whose philosophy is correct: his belief in fighting for himself or Naruto's belief in fighting for his friends and allies. Naruto defeats Gaara, and as a result, Gaara adopts Naruto's philosophy, realizing that fighting for others yields greater strength than fighting for one's self.He makes amends with the many characters he had alienated, apologizing to those he hurt and improving his relationship with his family.At the same time, Gaara's fundamental characteristic becomes the desire to protect as many people as he can, as in doing so he will be able to find true strength. This culminates in his replacing his father as the leader of Sunagakure during Part II of the series, and he states his greatest desire is to give his life for the villagers for Sunagakure regardless of the opinions they hold of him.

Meoww..meoww…meoww…

I know most of my friend love cat and some of them make it as their pet. For me, I’m not on that category. Because I allergic with it and trauma. Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting. The normal weight for cats is 2.5kg till 7 kg. Some have been known to reach up to 23 kilograms. Cats possess rather loose skin; this allows them to turn and confront a predator or another cat in a fight, even when it has a grip on them. Cats have their own behavior such as sociability, cohabitation, fighting, play, hunting and many more. There are a lots of types of cats such as:
1. Persian
Colour-Persians come in an astonishing number of patterns and colors, which are divided into seven color divisions for purposes of competition
2. Turkish Van
Colour-Van
3. Birman
Colour-Seal point, blue point, chocolate point and lilac point.
4. Abyssinian
Colour-Ruddy, red, blue and fawn.
5. Egyptian Mau
Colour-Silver, bronze, smoke, black and blue.
6. Bengal
Colour-Brown tabby, seal lynx point, seal sepia tabby, seal mink tabby blue, silver, peach and red.
7. American Bobtail
8. Ragdolls
Colours-Seal (dark brown) and blue , followed by chocolate and lilac (pinkish gray). The mitted pattern (white chin, mittens and boots) is desirable, but less common.

WeWeWe... Today I want to share with you all about one story thats have been make me cry every episode in this movie. The title is " ONE LITRE OF TEARS". I just share you about the sysnopsis. The movie you can get it in internet.

The story begins as Aya prepares for the new semester. Despite being happy, she suffers from slight physical problems, which only her mother seems to notice. However, one day, she falls unconsciously on the floor. After she is sent to the hospital, she is shortly diagnosed with the disease. Despite the fact that she is diagnosed with the terminal illness, she does not lose the will to survive.

She still makes friends with others, including her first love, Yuji. She later develops an interest in Haruto. Although somewhat cold, Haruto was still kind to her. Meanwhile, her health continues to deteriorate. Knowing that she will not survive for long, she returns the gift Haruto has given, who discovers the fact when he reads the love letter that Aya gave him.

Aya Kitō proved her courage and positive attitude towards an uncertain future when suffering such an illness, spinocerebellar ataxia. The drama spans a decade, during which she graduates from school while her conditions worsen.

This drama examines the complex range of feelings that patient, family, friends, and the general community, undergo during the painful process when someone so young is diagnosed with a terminal disease. In doing so, the script considers particularly the domestic situation of caring for an ill relative who requires specialized attention, but it also critiques general attitudes towards the disabled in Japanese society. Every new day for Aya means accepting new obstacles and new losses. Therefore, most importantly, this series commemorates the indomitable spirit who wrote a "record of a girl who was chosen by this strange disease."

I'm sure you all also will cry same like me during watch this movie.

Salam and hi...

Atchually, I dont know what i'm going to write for this time of blogging. Becomes blur or stuck, maybe. While I'm just seeing around my room, I saw the word "Aquarius" on my mineral bottle. Alhamdullillah, I immediately got the idea and proudly decided to write about my zodiac which is also Aquarius.

For your information, aquarius is the eleventh astrological sign in the Zodiac.In astrology, Aquarius is considered a "masculine", positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered an air sign and is one of four fixed signs.Being the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius is associated with the astrological 11th house. Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Aquarius individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun is in Aquarius roughly from January 20 to February 18.

Aquarius is widely thought to be compatible with same element signs which are Libra,Gemini and Aquarius itself.The signs listed as compatible with Aquarius do not reflect an individual profile or individual reading as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as qualities and elements within the Zodiac.

To get more information about Aquarius, you may surf any web that provide the info about the Zodiac especially for Aquarius. This is the example of the web:

Thank You.

Now a days people are more prefer wireless network than wired network. There are 2 main advantages using wireless than using wired network.
First is there is no need to put cables across the walls of homes and offices, it helps maintaining the beauty and cost on the wall.
Second advantages is you can access to internet within its range, hence you need not to find a network I/O to get connected.
But the only weakness using Wi-Fi is its limited network range and large network affected by weather condition.Sometime you will find that it is hard to connect to internet due to low signal.
For more information, you can search on the internet.

Here the additional tips and warning from how to keep you cool when got critised.

If you believe you're being lied to, ask your critic some questions and attempt to discern what is true or false.

Take the Meyers-Briggs personality test for free over the Internet. You might discover that what's going on is a personality clash rather than a conflict about you as such.

If you can't keep your cool, ask for the meeting to be rescheduled so that you can listen without losing your temper.

If you find yourself overreacting to the criticism, it's usually because you're afraid of losing something. What is it? Are your fears valid?

If you encounter conflict frequently, you may be very stressed. Consider counseling, or try settling down with some aromatherapy or other stress-management devices.

Avoid interrupting with defensive remarks. When people feel they aren't being heard, they will only come on stronger.

Often, people criticize without referring to an underlying conflict. If you don't figure out what the real conflict is, you'll never resolve the problem.

If you embarrass the critic, you may lose his or her attention

As a welcoming scientist,we have to make the research that usefull to human.For this entry,i want to share a unknown research but very interesting to discover it.

scientists test 'happy' gene

Some folks, in other words, are likely hard-wired for happiness while others are genetically gluttons for gloom, they suggested in a study published in Britain's Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
key role in determining how the neurotransmitter serotonin functions within the brain.Serotonin, a hormone, transmits chemical messages between nerve cells, and has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant drugs regulate serotonin levels.A trio of researchers from the University of Essex in Britain led by Elaine Fox decided to find out if people with different variants were more or less drawn to or repelled by both distressing and pleasing situations.

Individually, 97 participants were shown a series of slides, each containing a pair of images drawn from a psychological tool called the International Affective Picture Set.

The images were divided into three categories: negative ones designed to inspire fear or stress such as a menacing spider or person on the verge of committing suicide, erotic or pleasant ones, and neutral ones. The two pictures on each slide were drawn from different groups.

The 16 participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene "showed a marked avoidance of negative material alongside a vigilance for positive material," the researchers found.

They paid close attention to the pretty pictures, in other words, and screened out the frightening ones.

By contrast, the short allele groups showed opposite preferences, though not as strongly.

"The results indicated that a genetically-driven tendency to look on the bright side of life is a core cognitive mechanism underlying resilience to general life stress," the study concludes.

The absence of this "protective bias", they said, was probably linked to a greater vulnerability to mood disorders and anxiety, as indicated in earlier studies.

MAKING A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION!!!!

It takes just a quick glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to evaluate you when you meet for the first time. In this short time, the other person forms an opinion about you based on your appearance, your body language, your demeanor, your mannerisms, and how you are dressed.

There are some useful tips to help you to do this.

-Be on time
The person you are meeting for the first time is not interested in your “good excuse” for running late. Plan to arrive a few minutes early.

-Be Yourself, Be at Ease
If you are feeling uncomfortable and on edge, this can make the other person ill at ease and that’s a sure way to create the wrong impression. If you are calm and confident, so the other person will feel more at ease, and so have a solid foundation for making that first impression a good one.

-Present Yourself Appropriately
Of course physical appearance matters. The person you are meeting for the first time does not know you and your appearance is usually the first clue he or she has to go on.

-A Winning Smile!
There’s nothing like a smile to create a good first impression.
Smiling is a winner when it comes to great first impressions.

I know all of us like to go for vacation,but we should know how to manage our money before we go for it.
When we on vacation,we always forget about the way we spend the money.So, here are the tips for you.

1. Pay your bills ahead of time. If you use automatic bill-pay, confirm that all the payments will be sent before the due dates.
2. Make a checklist of financial needs for your trip. Hit the ATM for cash, exchange some money into the needed currency if you are traveling abroad, or purchase traveler’s checks if you plan to use them.
3. Evaluate time-sensitive purchases. Eat all the food that will spoil before leaving home to avoid wasting it (and coming home to the smell of rotted food).
4. Leave a key with someone you trust. You never know when you might have a financial emergency, and someone may need to get into your house to retrieve information or paperwork.
5. Don’t try new financial organization methods. Now is not the time to try to switch to automatic bill-pay in case something goes wrong. Save changes for when you are home and have time to follow-up.
6. Double-check rates. Confirm your flights, hotels and car rentals. If prices have gone down re-book or ask for a credit… yes, even some airlines will issue a credit if the rates drop.
7. Arrange for someone to pick up your mail or have it held. Don’t let mail with your personal information sit in your mailbox while you are gone.
8. Enroll in rewards programs. Look up the frequent flier programs for your airline and rewards programs for your hotels. Enroll before you go to get all your points and miles without hassle.
9. Consider infrequent bills. Remember to check the due dates for car titles, annual insurance payments, homeowners dues and other bills that you don’t pay regularly.
10. Research your destination. Tripadvisor has a great resource that people can review restaurants, attractions and more. Use the reviews to find great places at your destination without spending a fortune.
11. Pay bills for an extra week. Just in case your vacation is extended unexpectedly, you’ll want to have your finances in order.
12. Have fun. Knowing that you don’t have to worry about your finances while you are gone will allow you to relax and enjoy your vacation.

Have a great vacation!

Influenza or the ‘flu’ is an infection of the lungs. It is caused by the influenza virus. When many people catch the flu at the same time, this situation is called a flu epidemic.
The protein that coat the flu virus change constantly. As a result, new strains of the flu virus circulate every few years. People with flu infection feel as if they have a cold. But the sign and symptoms are usually more severe. Body areas other than the respiratory tract may be affected. Signs and symptoms are include weakness, chills, fatigue, muscles aches, headaches, fever, running nose and cough. They could last for a week or ten days.
The influenza virus is spread largely trough the air, a typical situation is where one person is effected with the flu coughs or sneeze when in close proximity with another person. Droplets of the virus suspended in the air, are breathed in by the other person.
Usually flu goes away with the rest, drinking plenty of fluid and taking mild pain medication.

I have done read an article, CANCER, from Strengthen your immune system.
One name, many illnesses.
Cancer is not a single disease, but instead is many different ones linked by the way they begin when an errant cell from any part of the body starts multiplying without rhyme or reason. Cell multiplication is not normally a problem. It’s a necessary process; cells must divide often, splitting one after another in an orderly way, to provide the constant supply of new cells that the body requires for growth, maintenance and repair. But sometimes a cell begins multiplying out of control for no good purpose and, if this is no restraint, sooner or later it will create a mass of tissue called a tumour. Failure of apoptosis, the normal process in the body whereby individual cells undergo their programmed cells death, can also contribute to cancer. This ‘cells suicide’ limits the lifespan of cells; without it, the cells will continue to grow and multiply.
Fortunately, not all tumours are cancerous. If they are begin, the extra cells will stay in one place, generally posing no threat. But if they are malignant, the extra cells many break away, enter the bloodstream or lymph system and land somewhere else far from their origin, where they multiply anew, growing and pressing upon, invading or destroying other tissues. This spread is called metastasis and the type of cancer that arises from it depends on the type of cells that initially went out of control.

Tips for those who want to be a good actor(dedicated to syafiq..haha..=p.)

1.Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.

2.Move to a major city. Eventually, Kuala Lumpur will be your destination, but as you build your resumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.

3.Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.

4.Compose a resume of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your resume.

5.Send your resume with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects.

6.Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.

7.Persevere.

Today, I have read an article about nail care tips. Firstly, do not use nails or blade to remove nails polish or use only nail polish remover. Put nail polish in freezer to keep nail polish smooth. For last polish, put little vinegar on your nails before you put the nails polish. Then, mix with iodine and castor oil in equal amounts and massage cuticle to stay smooth. To dry your polish faster, dip your finger into cold water. Apply petroleum jelly to fix your dry and brittle nails. Treating your nails and cuticles with petroleum jelly makes a lot of differences. Carry a small tube of petroleum jelly with you for more convenience. File nails on the side and brushing toward the center using light strokes in the same direction. This is the best way to file your nail. Do not file nails backward and it will make nails weaken and break. One packet unflavored gelatin was mix with 1 tbsp. Petroleum jelly store in an airtight container at room temperature. Massage nails daily helps nails grow healthier.
After that, wet finger tips with warm water and dip into cornmeal. Massage and rinse with warm water. Buff nails with brush to remove the cornmeal. Dry thoroughly and apply hand cream. You also can rub waxy lip balm into brittle nails 3 times a day to protect your nails. Rub olive oil onto nails for shining and glossy nails. Consume food that is rich with Vitamin B, potassium, iron and calcium. These good for nails.

Do you like rose? I like it so much. If someone gives me a rose, I will take him as my boyfriend. Today I had read an article about the symbolic of rose’s colours. Red roses mean romantic love. People always give as a gift in valentine day. Purple means that giver has fallen in love with the recipient at first sight. Meanwhile, coral and orange roses signal desire. A yellow rose shows joy and friendship. When we want to express our gratitude and appreciation, it suitable to give pink roses. While feelings of admiration and sympathy find words with roses that are light pink in color. Peach is more ambiguous, as it can signify either sympathy or gratitude. Their purity naturally enough lends to white roses the meaning of reverence and humility. Wow! I like white. What do you prefer to give to someone that you love?

Sungai Lembing

Sungai Lembing is a tin mining town 42 km northwest of Kuantan in Pahang, Malaysia. Lembing is Malay for spear, and "sungai" means river. Per local legend, the local ruler saw a vision of a spear in the nearby river and thus named his town after this vision.
Until the 1970s, Sungai Lembing was a major producer of underground tin. Sungai Lembing town developed in the 1880's when the British set up the tin mining industry, although the history of mining in this area extends much further back. From 1891, the Pahang Consolidated Company Limited, (PCCL), which was under British control, had a 77-year lease to mine the area. PCCL managed the mine from 1906 until its liquidation in 1986 when world tin prices collapsed.
The pit mines were closed in 1986 due to high operational costs and low yields, but during their heyday they were among the largest and deepest in the world. The total tunnel length is 322 km, with a depth of between 610 m and 700 m. A museum highlighting the tin mining industry was opened in 2003. The museum is housed in an old bungalow once used by the mine manager. The museum houses a collection of mining artifacts.
Today the town of Sg Lembing is in decline although it was once the richest town in Pahang, known as El Dorado of the East. In the 1940's about 1400 people worked in the mine. Today many of the wooden shoplots are closed and people are moving away. The town straddles the river, and the main street on the right bank is split by an avenue of majestic trees. At the end, an old wooden building overlooks the padang where games of cricket and other social activities were held.
Nearby Sungai Lembing is Bukit Panorama, which is a popular place to watch the sunrise. 16 km from Sg. Lembing is Gunung Tapis Nature Park, where one can camp, fish, and shoot the rapids. Gunung Tapis itself is 1,512 m high. On the way to Sg. Lembing at the hamlet of Pancing is Gua Charas, a temple cave that is a popular tourist destination, also Sungai Pandan Waterfall, which is 29 km from Kuantan.
