HARI SUKAN NEGARA 10.10.15 

 Perdana Menteri mengisytiharkan Hari Sukan Negara akan diraikan pada Sabtu minggu kedua bulan Oktober setiap tahun. Lantaran itu, beliau mengumumkan 10 Oktober ini sebagai Hari Sukan Negara bagi tahun 2015 pada Majlis Pelancaran Hari Sukan Negara yang diadakan di Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur pada 24 Mac yang lalu. Selaras dengan Bajet 2015, Kerajaan akan mengambil langkah yang bersepadu ke arah mentransformasikan Malaysia kepada negara bersukan.

 Justeru itu, sambutan Hari Sukan Negara pada 10 Oktober nanti, akan menglibatkan sektor awam, swasta dan rakyat secara serentak di seluruh negara. Kerajaan berhasrat untuk bukan sahaja menggalakkan budaya bersukan tetapi menitikberatkan penglibatan bersama dalam aktiviti-aktiviti sukan yang akan merapatkan hubungan rakyat antara satu sama lain tanpa mengira umur, bangsa dan kepercayaan agama. “Di samping itu, gaya hidup sihat dengan bersukan juga dapat mengatasi masalah obesiti dalam kalangan rakyat negara ini, yang menjadi penyebab kepada penyakit jantung, kencing manis dan darah tinggi,” . Sambutan Hari Sukan Negara bakal diisi dengan pelbagai aktiviti sukan dan riadah untuk memastikan setiap lapisan masyarakat mengambil bahagian dalam meraikan Sambutan Hari Sukan Negara tersebut yang akan diraikan secara serentak di seluruh pelusuk tanah air.

 Hari Sukan Negara ini adalah penting dalam usaha kerajaan untuk menggalakkan rakyat menerapkan amalan budaya hidup cergas dan aktif memandangkan peratusan masyarakat Malaysia yang aktif bersukan masih lagi rendah. Budaya sukan melalui amalan gaya hidup cergas dan aktif pada masa yang sama dapat membantu menurunkan kadar penyakit kronik dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia.

HANDPHONES .

HANDPHONES

Handphones have become a major part of our lives. Today, it is being widely used all over the world. It has metamorphosized from being a luxury to necessity for some of us. Handphones are one of the things that we cannot do without, for one reason or another. We have come to depend on it, increasingly so, and in doing so it has become a need. Having handphones can prove to be very useful but it can also be said otherwise. There are both advantages and disadvantages to owning a handphone or being in the midst of people who own them.

Owning a handphone means one can be easily reached when on the road or when one is not at home or in the office. It can even be used when one is overseas, using the ROAM service. There are features such as voice messages and SMS, in other words, Short Message Service. This is to allow people to contact a handphone owner even if he is busy or is unable take the call. These features enable the owner of the phone to know why he is being called, so on and so forth. SMS-es help to keep it short. Without calling, you can leave a short message. Nowadays though, people use it to have conversations, especially the young, and those who find it easier to message than to talk. It is also cheaper and thus allows one to save on talk time. Another advantage would be that of being able to call whenever and wherever there is an emergency, for example when you are in a road accident or you need to call someone and there does not seem to be any public phones nearby. There are also different mobile service plans to choose from to suit one’s communication needs, be it longer talk time, free incoming or outgoing calls, or more free local SMS. As such, one can reap much benefits and save costs. Nowadays, handphones rarely just have one function, which is to make and receive calls. There are more functions and features such as listening to music, taking pictures with an in-built camera, playing games, and even logging on the internet and etc.

There are also disadvantages that come along with the usage of handphones. Firstly, there are limitations to where a handphone can be used. If there were no reception, then there would be no possibility of making or receiving calls. On another note, a person can say he is at a certain place when in fact he s somewhere else. So, you can never be too sure of where a person might actually be. User-abuse is another factor. Here, what is meant by user-abuse is the fact that some users are not considerate in that they make use of the phone in places where it is not allowed. As such they disturb others. It is one thing to let it ring loudly, but yet another, to be answering the phone. For example, in movie theatres, plays and the like. It is said that there are dangers of handphone radiation, though there is no conclusive evidence to prove a link between cancer and handphone radiation. Lastly, handphones cannot be used in most parts of hospitals as it could affect the readings on the equipments due to the radiation emitted and would pose as great danger to the patients.

Mentor

Mentorship is a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger, but have a certain area of expertise. It is a learning and development partnership between someone with vast experience and someone who wants to learn. "Mentoring" is a process that always involves communication and is relationship based, but its precise definition is elusive. Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience.
