Berkebun Hilangkan Stress?

Salam sejahtera,

Kita hidup di zaman yang banyak stress. Kalau di bandar-bandar besar seperti di KL ini, pagi-pagi lagi orang dah stress. Apa taknya, kita terpaksa keluar awal pagi dan mengharungi traffic jam yang tak berkesudahan semata-mata untuk ke tempat kita mencari rezeki. Kalau hari hujan atau pun ada accident di tengah jalan, alamat sampai lambat lah kita ke pejabat. Salah satu kesan daripada stress ialah badan akan jadi lesu dan tidur tak lena. Jadi bagaimana nak hilang atau kurangkan stress?

Salah satu caranya ialah dengan berkebun. Dengan berkebun, kita boleh merehatkan badan dan fikiran kita. Kita akan merasa damai dan tenteram. Kajian di Taiwan mendapati antara sebab utama orang berkebun ialah untuk melepaskan diri (escape). Mungkin ini adalah motivasi semulajadi.



Satu kajian di Belanda (Netherland) pula mendapati antara aktiviti membaca di dalam rumah dan berkebun, aktiviti berkebun didapati lebih banyak mengurangkan stress berbanding membaca.

Satu survey di Texas, Amerika pula mendapati orang yang berkebun lebih berkeupayaan untuk membuat aktiviti fizikal, lebih bertenaga dan menikmati tahap kesihatan yang lebih baik daripada mereka yang tak berkebun. 

Jadi, apa kata kita mula berkebun. Kotorkan tangan anda dengan tanah dari berkebun dan anda akan mendapati hidup anda lebih ceria tanpa stress.

Apa Aku Buat Di Sini?

Salam Sejahtera,

Semenjak semalam, saya menghadiri kursus teknikal anjuran syarikat tempat saya bekerja.  Pengajar kami adalah seorang Profesor daripada university dari Taiwan. Ternyata beliau memang seorang “expert” dalam bidangnya. Beliau menghuraikan satu persatu teori secara detail. Masalahnya, semakin banyak teori yang beliau terangkan, saya menjadi semakin tak faham :-( .

Puncanya mungkin, Pertama: Professor tu masuk terlalu detail mengenai teori. Kedua:  Pengetahuan saya banyak lagi yg kurang kerana tak dapat follow Profesor tersebut. Rasanya punca yang kedua lebih tepat :-) . Semasa rehat, saya terfikir adakah saya berada di tempat yang betul? Lebih extreme lagi, adakah saya berada di bidang pekerjaan yang betul?  Dah 10 tahun dalam bidang ini, tiba-tiba datang fikiran sebegitu.  Adakah saya telah memilih bidang kerjaya yang salah?


Mesti ramai di antara kawan-kawan juga yang berada di tempat sama. Mungkin ramai yang merasakan bidang pekerjaan mereka sekarang bukan sesuatu yang mereka minat dan bukan bidang yang mereka bagus. Semasa belajar dulu, saya mengambil jurusan kejuruteraan komputer. Ini kerana saya minat dengan komputer. Ironinya, saya lebih cemerlang dalam subjek yang bukan dalam bidang kejuruteraan computer. Selepas belajar saya mendapat kerja di bidang elektrikal dan elektronik. Bukan bidang yang saya suka dan mata pelajaran elektrik adalah antara subjek yang saya lemah semasa di Universiti dulu.

Berbalik kepada persoalan saya tadi, adakah saya berada di bidang yang salah kerana ini bukan minat saya dan pengetahuan dalam bidang ini juga tak berapa kuat.  Tiba-tiba saya teringat pada video mendiang Steve Jobs (pengasas Apple).  Klik sini jika anda belum lihat video tersebut. Transkrip ucapan beliau boleh didapati di link ini. Apa yang berlaku kepada beliau: tak menamatkan pengajian, mengasaskan Syarikat Apple, dipecat daripada Apple sebelum berusia 30 tahun dan kembali menerajui Apple beberapa tahun kemudian. Siapa beliau hari ini adalah hasil daripada apa yang terjadi kepada beliau sebelum ini.

Beliau berhenti belajar kerana tak nampak masa depan dengan pelajaran beliau. Apabila beliau berhenti belajar, beliau mengambil kesempatan belajar kaligrafi sambil menumpang di bilik kawan dengan hanya tidur di atas lantai. Kata beliau, pengetahuan daripada kaligrafilah yang menjadikan Apple lebih menarik daripada Windows :-) . Selepas beliau dipecat daripada Apple, beliau telah berjaya mengasaskan PIXAR, akhirnya menjadi salah sebuah syarikat animasi terbesar di dunia. Beliau menukar bencana yang terjadi menjadi peluang untuk berjaya.



Salah satu perenngan ucapan beliau "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Ini membuatkan saya berfikir lagi. Mungkin ada hikmahnya “tersangkut” selama 10 tahun di bidang pekerjaan yang tak diminati ni. Apa hikmahnya, mungkin akan tahu bila dah berumur 50 tahun nanti. Walau apa pun, kena kenalpasti apa peluang yang ada dan buat apa yang kita minat dengan bersungguh dengan peluang dan kekangan yang ada. Bak kata mendiang Steve Jobs "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish".

Gay Melayu Kawin Mat Saleh

Salam Sejahtera,

Terkejut besar bila buka FB hari ni. Apa taknya, cerita tentang perkahwinan lelaki Melayu dan lelaki Mat Saleh hangat di perkatakan.

Rupanya pelajar tu adalah pelajar Malaysia yang dilaporkan sudah hilang semenjak beberapa tahun lepas. Pelbagai usaha dh dilakukan oleh ibubapa untuk menjejaki pelajar tersebut. Akhirnya doa ibubapa tersebut dimakbulkan, anaknya telah ditemui tetapi sesuatu yang buruk telah berlaku. Beliau telah berkahwin sejenis dengan lelaki Mat Saleh.

Saya kongsikan gambar-gambar perkahwinan pelajar tersebut untuk tatapan dan pengajaran untuk kita bersama. Marilah kita sama-sama berdoa semoga Ariff Alfian Rosli akan insaf dan kembali ke jalan yang benar. Amiin.....

Tennis: Grip Guide

Grip Guide - A Grip on Your Game
By Jon Levey - Tuesday, June 6, 2006
Grip Guide
Illustrations by Craig Zuckerman

Fluid, powerful, and accurate strokes are the combination of many factors. But it all starts with how you hold the racquet.
No matter how much time you spend finding the perfect frame to beef up your game, the most important part of your racquet just might be your grip—not what the handle is made of, but how you hold it. Although they’re largely overlooked, grips are the foundation of all the strokes in tennis. Where you position your hand on the eight-sided handle has a huge impact on each ball you hit. Your grip affects the angle of the racquet face, where you make contact, and ultimately the pace, spin, and placement of your shot. The difficulty with grips is choosing the right one for a particular stroke. The fact is, there is no perfect grip; each has its advantages and limitations. But some are clearly better-suited for certain strokes and styles of play than others. This guide will help you to (1) learn to grasp the racquet for each grip correctly, and (2) determine the best uses of each of the common grips.
FINDING THE GRIPS
There are various ways to explain how to find a certain grip, but the simplest and most reliable is to use the base knuckle of your index finger as the main reference point. The diagrams for each grip show the bottom view of a racquet handle (where the butt cap is attached), which has four main sides and four narrower bevels between the sides.
Continental Grip
CONTINENTAL GRIP

The Continental is the one grip that you can use for every shot, but that hasn’t been standard practice since the days of long pants and skirts. The Continental is used primarily for serves, volleys, overheads, slices, and defensive shots. Find the Continental by putting the base knuckle of your index finger on bevel No. 1, which puts the V created by your thumb and forefinger on top of the handle. Lefties put the knuckle on bevel No. 4.
PLUS:
Hitting with the Continental grip on the serve and overhead is standard, as it allows your forearm and wrist to naturally pronate through contact. This results in a more explosive and versatile shot with the least amount of stress on the arm. It’s also the preferred grip on volleys since it provides a slightly open racquet face for underspin and control. Since you need quick hands at net, having the same grip for forehand and backhand volleys is also crucial. As mentioned, your grip affects the angle of the racquet face. The more closed the face, the higher and farther in front of your body your strike zone should be for proper contact. Since the racquet face is relatively square on a Continental grip, for ground strokes the strike zone is low and to the side of the body. That’s why it’s helpful for defensive shots, low balls, and wide balls that you’re late on.
MINUS:
You can hit flat or with slice using the Continental, but it’s tough to put topspin on the ball. That means hitting with power and keeping the ball in play requires you to aim the shot just above net level, leaving you little margin for error. And without that safety spin, returning a ball out of your strike zone can be difficult. So lack of consistency is often a problem.
PROS WHO USE IT:
Virtually all of them, on serves and volleys.
Eastern Forehand Grip
EASTERN FOREHAND GRIP

Place your hand flat against the strings and slide it down to the grip; put the racquet flat on a table, close your eyes, and pick it up; or shake hands with the racquet. These are just a few of the tricks you can use to find an Eastern forehand grip. The more technical way is to hold the racquet in a Continental grip and then turn your hand clockwise (counterclockwise for lefties), so that the base knuckle of your index finger slides over one bevel.
PLUS:
This is generally considered the easiest grip for learning the forehand. It’s versatile, allowing the player to brush up the back of the ball for topspin or flatten out the shot for more power and penetration. It’s easy to switch quickly to other grips from the Eastern, making it a wise choice for players who like to come to net.
MINUS:
The strike zone is higher and farther out in front than with the Continental grip, but it’s still not a great option for returning high shots. An Eastern forehand can be very powerful and penetrating, but because it tends to be a flatter stroke it can also be inconsistent, making it difficult to sustain in long rallies. It’s not the best choice for players looking to put a lot of topspin on their shots and outlast their opponents.
PROS WHO USE IT:
Tim Henman, Lindsay Davenport
Semi-Western Forehand Grip
SEMI-WESTERN FOREHAND GRIP

Moving your knuckle one more bevel clockwise (counterclockwise for lefties) from the Eastern forehand grip puts you in a semi-Western grip. This has become a prevalent grip for power baseliners on the pro tours, and many teaching pros encourage their students to use it.
PLUS:
The semi-Western allows a player to apply more topspin to the ball than the Eastern forehand grip, giving the shot greater safety and control, especially on lobs and short angles. Still, you can drive through the ball with this grip to hit a flat drive for a winner or passing shot. It also affords a player the option of taking a bigger swing at the ball since the topspin will help keep it in the court. With a strike zone higher and farther out in front of the body than the Eastern forehand, it’s good for controlling and being aggressive with high shots.
MINUS:
You can run into trouble returning low balls. Since the grip naturally closes the racquet face, forcing you to swing up from underneath the ball, it can be difficult to return lower shots. This, along with having to make a significant grip change to get to the Continental for a volley, is why so many power baseliners are uncomfortable coming to net.
PROS WHO USE IT:
Western Forehand Grip
WESTERN FOREHAND GRIP

From a semi-Western grip, shift your knuckle one more bevel clockwise (counterclockwise for lefties), and you’ve got a full Western grip. Looking down at the racquet, your knuckle should be on the very bottom of the grip. This puts your palm almost completely under the racquet. Clay-court specialists and players who hit with heavy topspin favor this grip.
PLUS:
This is an extreme grip that puts a lot of action on the ball. The positioning of the wrist forces the racquet to whip up the back of the ball severely, generating tremendous topspin. You can hit the ball well above net level and it will still drop into the court. The resulting shot will usually have a high and explosive bounce, pushing your opponent behind the baseline. The strike zone is higher and farther out in front than all other forehand grips. The ability to handle high balls is what makes this grip so popular with clay-courters and juniors.
MINUS:
Low balls can be murder. That’s why professionals with this grip generally don’t do well on faster surfaces, where the ball stays low after the bounce. Also, you need tremendous racquet-head speed and wrist strength to generate adequate pace and spin. Otherwise, your shots will land short and your opponents can attack them. For some, it’s also difficult to flatten shots out, so putting balls away becomes a problem. And just as with the semi- Western, transitioning to net and hitting an effective first volley is a major challenge.
PROS WHO USE IT:
Eastern Backhand Grip
EASTERN BACKHAND GRIP

From a Continental grip, shift your knuckle one bevel counterclockwise (clockwise for lefties) so that it’s on the very top of the grip. If you drilled a nail through that knuckle, it would go right through the center of the grip (just don’t try that at home).
PLUS:
As with the Eastern forehand, this is a versatile grip that provides good stability for the wrist. You can roll the ball for some spin or hit through it for a more penetrating drive. Some players can slice with an Eastern grip, but if not, a subtle grip change over to the Continental is easy enough to do. This grip also can be used for a kick serve, and it makes the transition to net for volleys a relatively smooth one.
MINUS:
While solid for handling low balls, an Eastern backhand grip is not ideal for hitting topspin shots from around the shoulders. It can be difficult to control these balls, and many times a player is forced to slice them back defensively. You see this most often when players return kick serves that jump up high in the strike zone.
PROS WHO USE IT:
Roger Federer, Lisa Raymond
Extreme Eastern or Semi-Western Backhand Grip
EXTREME EASTERN OR SEMI-WESTERN BACKHAND GRIP

The backhand’s answer to the Western forehand (a reason some refer to this as a semi-Western backhand), the base knuckle of your index finger moves one bevel counterclockwise from the Eastern backhand (clockwise for lefties). It’s an advanced grip that only stronger and more accomplished players tend to use.
PLUS:
Just as with the Western forehand grips, this is a very popular choice with clay-court players. It naturally closes the racquet face more than a regular Eastern backhand and moves the strike zone higher and farther out in front of you, making it more conducive to handling high balls and returning them with topspin. Some of the most powerful backhands in tennis are held with this grip.
MINUS:
Its limitations are similar to those of the Western forehand. It’s not well-suited for low balls, and because it’s a rather extreme grip it’s difficult to make quick changes for a transition to net. Players with this grip usually have long, elaborate swings and prefer the baseline.
PROS WHO USE IT:
Gustavo Kuerten, Justine Henin
Two-Handed Backhand Grip
TWO-HANDED BACKHAND GRIP

There’s no doubting the popularity of this grip, but there is some debate about the ideal way to position both hands. One of the most accepted ways is to hold the racquet in your dominant hand with a Continental grip. Then take your nondominant hand and put it above your playing hand in a semi-Western forehand grip.
PLUS:
This is an excellent choice for players who aren’t strong enough to hit a one-handed backhand. A more compact stroke than the one-hander, the two-hander relies on shoulder rotation and an efficient swing to provide power. That’s why it’s particularly effective on the return of serve. It’s also good on low shots, and the extra arm lets you power through on balls that are at shoulder level.
MINUS:
Because both hands are on the racquet, the two-hander limits a player’s reach. So doing anything with wide shots can be tough, especially since it’s difficult to rotate your upper body when stretched. Also, two-handers can become dependent on topspin. Hitting an effective slice calls for extending through the shot with a steady front shoulder. This is unnatural for two-handers, who are taught to open their hips and rotate their shoulders. Taking the nondominant hand off the racquet to hit the slice or volley is also troubling for many twohanders; it’s the reason why they’re generally not comfortable at the net.

Treadmill Training Helps Down Syndrome Babies Walk Months Earlier



Salam sejahtera,

Terjumpa artikel ni di sciencedaily.com. Rasa nak share dengan semua. Enjoy the reading.


ScienceDaily (Oct. 30, 2007) — Starting Down syndrome infants on treadmill training for just minutes a day can help them walk up to four or five months earlier than with only traditional physical therapy, a new study from the University of Michigan says.



The study also suggests that infants who do high intensity treadmill training may walk even sooner.

Getting infants walking is critical because so many other skills arise from locomotion: social skills, motor skills, advancement of perception and spatial cognition, says professor Dale Ulrich of the University of Michigan Division of Kinesiology and principal investigator on the treadmill training project.

"The key is if we can get them to walk earlier and better then they can explore their environment earlier and when you start to explore, you learn about the world around you," Ulrich said. "Walking is a critical factor in development in every other domain."


 

Infants with typical development learn to walk independently at about 12 months of age. Babies with Down syndrome typically learn to take independent steps at 24-28 months.

In the study, 30 infants were randomly assigned lower intensity, generalized treadmill training, or high intensity, individualized treadmill training, implemented in the homes by their parents. The training was used as a supplement to physical therapy.

Initially, all parents worked with their infants on the treadmill for eight minutes a day, five days a week. The parent sat on a bench that straddled the treadmill and held the infant as the child took steps on the treadmill, Ulrich said. All of the parents began with low intensity training, but after the infant could take 10, 20, and 30 steps per minute, intensity was gradually increased for half the infants, Ulrich said.

High intensity training included increasing the treadmill belt speed, using longer durations, and adding light weights to the ankles, with intensity tailored to each child.

The results suggest that infants in the higher-intensity, individualized training group increased their stepping more dramatically over the course of training, and attained most of the motor milestones at an earlier mean age. The results also provided support for the results of their earlier treadmill training study reported in 2001.

The treadmills are about $1,200 each, and Ulrich said the hope is that more hospitals and Down syndrome parent organizations will rent the equipment to parents.

Down syndrome occurs in about 1 in 700 births, and is one of the few disabilities that causes significant delays in all developmental domains, the paper said.

The study is entitled "The Effects of Intensity of Treadmill Training on Developmental Outcomes and Stepping in Infants with Down Syndrome."

Adakah Hijrah Kita Dirancang?


Salam Sejahtera.

Salam Ma'al Hijrah untuk semua. Ma'al Hijrah tahun ini disambung dengan gembira oleh rakyat di seluruh pelusuk negara. Apa taknya, hari Ma'al Hijrah jatuh pada hari Ahad, bermakna hari isnin adalah hari cuti ganti. Jadi kita dapatlah cuti 3hari hujung minggu tersebut.

Setiap kali tiba Ma'al Hijrah kita diingatkan kembali kepada Hijrah Rasulullah S.A.W. Kita selalu membincangkan bagaimana peristiwa Hijrah Rasulullah S.A.W dan Abu Bakar R.A berlaku dan bagaimana sambutan terhadapat Rasulullah S.A.W di Madinah.

Saya tertarik dengan tazkirah yang disampaikan oleh ustaz di radio IKIM.fm semalam. Beliau mengajak kita melihat bagaimana proses hijrah itu boleh berlaku. Hijrah Rasulullah S.A.W sebenarnya telah dirancang dengan amat teliti. Rasulullah S.A.W telah merancang dengan teliti bersama Abu Bakar R.A bermula daripada jalan yang akan diikuti, di mana mereka akan berhenti, siapa yang akan menghilangkan jejak mereka, siapa yang akan menghantar bekalan makanan sehinggalah kepada SB untuk menyampaikan perkembangan terkini di kota Mekah. Semua ini dirancangkan dengan aman teliti dan penuh rahsia. Ini dibuktikan dengan Rasulullah memberitahu Abu Bakar R.A supaya menyuruh anaknya beredar daripada ruang tamu ketika mereka berbincang di rumah Abu Bakar.

Daripada kisah tersebut dapat kita lihat bahawa jika kita hendak membuat sesuatu kita mestilah merancang. Jika kita ingin mendapat extra income dengan berniaga secara online, kita hendaklah merancang. Perlu ada target berapa income yang kita ingin capai sebulan. Kemudian mesti survey perniagaan apa yang kita hendak jalankan. Untuk berjaya, mestilah pilih perniagaan yang ada demand yang ramai pembeli di internet. Setelah kenal pasti jenis perniagaan, kita mestilah pula merancang pelan pemasaran. Mesti rancang di mana nak iklan samada di website, facebook, blog ataupun melalui email. Pendek kata, semuanya perlu di rancang dengan teliti. Selepas kita merancang dan melaksanakan apa yang terdaya, baru lah kita serah kepada Allah. Jika kita sekadar ikut sahaja, orang jual barang A kita pun nak jual barang A tanpa ada perancangan, memang CONFIRM kita akan gagal.

Jadi, renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal....
