Speedy

Albert Tay- I refer to report " Kopi money risk and wish to share more than 10 years of experience driving my wife to her hometown.

We travel on the North-South Highway via the Second Link two weekends a month. My experience is that 90 per cent of speed traps are not official operations-that is, no speeding tickets can be issued. They are typically informal set-ups focusing on stopping cars with Singapore licence plates. Drivers from Singapore have encouraged a burgeoning cottage industry by fishing out Malaysian currency every time they are stopped. Instead of scrapping plans to drive to Malaysia, we should abandon the temptation to bribe the police. Try this the next time you are stopped at a road block for speedding, illegal U-turns or whatever supposed reason: Ofiicers on a genuine police operation issue tickets immediately. Call the bluff of those who linger and hint that you might want to settle on the spot- for example $30, instead of $90, or save yourself the trouble of paying the fine at some distant location. Ask for the ticket immediately. I no longer bother to argue that I was not speeding. Owing to the frequency of  my visits to Malaysia, I regularly get stopped  no matter what speed I might be doing. They invariably pretend to write down my details or simply wave me off.  I habe even overheard some policemen say in Malay to let me go and focus on others ( who might pay). 

Over the years, I have not been issued tickets and have saved thousands simply by not bribing. For those who do recieve tickets, your do not need to go out of your way to pay the fines. Counters are ocasionally opened at the Malaysian Customs. All existing fines, including those from automated speed cameras, can be conveniently settled there. Naturally, those who want to give kopi money at xuch or other operations are inviting arrest.

But instead of making blunder on the highway here are some riders recommendation  to do. Below suggest riding from expert and expertise for you to apply :

1.  Drive consistantly on police regulation.
2. Complete your driving licence.
3. Do not drink alcohol.
4. Get some food
5. Pray to God for road safety

Happiness

There can be few things less useful than a World Map of Happines. If you live in one of the unhappy places, there is little chance that you will be able to move to one of the happy ones- and anyway, there's no way of knowing wheter immigrants aer happy there. Besides,your personal capacity for happiness is largely hard-wired by your genetic heritage and early childhood experiences. But there are always  under-employed sociologists, psychologists and economist  looking for somthing new to research. There is also a permanent oversupply of journalists at their wits end for something to write about. 

Despite Israel's gallant effort to fill the whole news cycle single-handedly, this has been a slow week for news, so let us consider the global distributions of happiness.

The satisfaction with Life Index, to give the world happiness map its proper  name, does not measure objective conditions like gross domestic product per caita or aberage life expectancy. You can be dirt poor, like Bhutan, and still rank high in happiness. You can also be relatively  prosperous but miserabel, like  Latvians, who are less happy than Ethiopians or Palestinians.  

The old human Development Index, dating back to 1990, tells us who should be happy, if income, lifespan and educational level were really the main determinants of hapapiness. Unsurprisingly, this yields a list that ranks countries pretty much in strct order of GDP per capita.  For those who care about the environment, there is also the Happy Planet Index, launched in 2006, which measures the productions  of human well being per unit  of extraction or imposition upon nature. If your will-being comes at a high environmental cost, you drop down the list.

On this Index, the developed countries do not do so well, for their prosperity comes at a high environmental cost. US drops from No 13 on the Human Development Index to No 150  on the Happy Planet Index. But that index is really measuring the happiness of the ecosphere, as if the planet itself were capable of happiness. 

The most striking result is that all of the top 20 countirs in terms of happiness are relatively  small : the biggest, at number 10 is Canada, which has only 33 million people. All the Scandinavian countries are there, of course, but so are Antigua, Bhutan, Costa Rica and the Seychelles. All 20 are democracies.  

The saddest countries in the list, numbers 176, 177 and 178 are the democratic Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe and Burundi. Indeed, there is not a single country in Africa that counts as happy.

Russia and the other countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union are all mired in the Slough of Despond. Japan surprisingly, ties with Yemen, an almost failed state, in the happiness stakes.  Among the big developed countries, the US places just outside the top 20 at no 23, well ahead of other rich countries like Germany, Britain, Spain, Italy and France. Bangladesh  are happier than Indians and much happier than Pakistanis. Malaysian are the happiest people in Asia, Venezuleans are the happiest people in South America, and the Gulf states from Oman to Kuwait are the happiest countries in the Middle East. Icelanders may be pretty unhappy since their banks and their currency collapsed. Sri Lankans may be cheering up now that their long civil war over. Iranians were not happy even before last year upheavals, but they are probably even less so now. 

Health and wealth make some difference in how happy countries are, but they are certainly not decisive, and some other measures that are normally thougth to matter don't seem to count at all. US has the greatest inequality of income among the bif developed countries, but American are happy people- may be because their national mythology tells them that they all have equality of opportunity.

The size goverment does not  make much difference either, so long as it is competent.         

How to Direct Gifted Child

Once upon a time there was griping parent for child behavior at home and school.  The child is too active, a lot of moving, difficult to organized, and tend to arbitrarily. Apparently, the energy that never runs out. Besides a lot of things or information has always denied, and quickly tired and lazy despite actually  tasks can be easily completed.

Some children said the child is very moody, emotinal and sensitive. The old man was confused thinking the right way, to accompany. Confusion became so when the class teacher expressed similar complaints. After observing and interviewing parents, students and classroom teachers, as well as see the results of intellectual potential test I get the child's IQ was 140. Through discussions with a child psychologist, I get the conclusion it includes gifted children. On the fact that parents and teachers should implement a different accompaniment patterns. Because the child has a different personality and intellectual characteristics of peers. The effort that we are not stuck with it considers troublemakers, worker protests and unruly.

Early assessment of it is because we do not yet understand its characteristics, or in a hurry to label without trying to understand the background of the emergence of behavior. How should treat gifted children, including in schools. Application of the method what exactly?

There is an opinion that states, giftedness or talent can be detected through a growth signal, signal intelligence and signal special personality. Some experts call it the fast development of gifted children as a developmental leap. It is easy, we can recognize in the early months as if he could return the smile, the eyes follow the movement very quickly and just need a little time to sleep. The boy could leave and run faster than her age. Logical if he had seen a greater advantage. Reality caused him  has special needs and is not understood by the people closest to (parents) can lead to social problems, such as hard contact with another person, it is difficult to work together, sharing and hard to accept defeat. When you have friends at school often disrupts the class.

Behavior that often brings unfavorable climate, both at home and at school. Parents or teachers who do not understand or are not aware of the conditions that could be it does not matter. Worse still considered as negative behavior. There's even a parent or teacher who tried to control by any means that it becomes very obedient child, following the pattern of interaction whereas  children generally. Though the risk of action unfavorable to the development of the child.

Here are some expert and expertise suggestions. Their long research are just for you , gifted children's parents :

Education that matter to parents

There are several steps that must be  understanding and need to have, as well as by parents and teachers to face the special gifted or intelligent.

First, children need an understanding of the characteristics,

Second, it takes care of the thoughts and feelings of the child

Third, keep an open attitude towards the child, avoid stress and instead invite more discussion.

Fourth, provide opportunities for children to express themselves.

Fifth, appreciate every effort and the work of the child

Sixth, combines all children to know the needs of

Seventh, we could act as a facilitator

Eighth, applying various methods of learning so that children feel challenged in school and when it is not quickly saturated

Naturally, parents and teachers to take a moment to better understand and potentially high so that they become more focused and we can explore the advantages.

IQ = intelligence?

"How's your IQ?" . Can never answer the question so and confused? Ever hear the term IQ squat? Just because someone does not connect when spoken to and got grade ugly at school?
IQ (inteleligence quotient) is the score obtained from an intelligence test kits are often a benchmark to determine a person's level of intelligence as a whole. In fact, IQ is a requirement to enter the world of school or work.
Really bother then. But is it true IQ showed ingenuity someone?
IQ is a unit value for measuring level intelligence. The definition is the ability to think and process the information around it. This capability examined through a variety of tests and the results are summarized in the form of numbers. But the real test of intelligence or intelligence to measure a person's capacity to think and reason is not the only measure for this score gives little indication of intelligence. Not fair, is it if a man intelligence  only measured IQ score alone. There are many factors that affect a person's thinking ability . Such as the ability to remember, numeracy and originality of thought.

Having a high IQ score is an advantage that can maximize potens intelligence possessed. But the results of an IQ test is not the size or good intelligent person. Moreover, the lifetime of humans only use 10 of his brain function. Now, with more and often learn a lot of remembering things and often think the number of brain cells will be more. Increased brain cells is what will increase the brain folds in it that has a duty to remember. The more folds the more often the brain activity. To prove it, the experts even do research to dissect the genius of Einstein's brain. Einstein's brain folds result looks a lot more folds than the brains of people in general.
So, do not be confused and feel shy if you do not satisfy the IQ scores because the human brain is an organ that is very complex and not well known by scientists though.

Between Dragonflies and Albatross

Not in vain God created animals with wings like dragonflies and birds. Both have incredible wings and be able to maneuver freely in the air. Factors that is applied to the design of aircraft wings. Wright brothers, inventors have studied aircraft  birds wings as the main inspiration. The wings of birds have a light frame, strong chest muscles, bones and wings, combined with a perfect aerodynamic principles. While dragonflies can float in a fixed position in the air or in the desired medarat is as important as the ability to fly itself. That is why he designed the aircraft with high maneuverability the helicopter.

A number of the world's leading aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus are also used for the evaluation of industrial biomimicry. They apply the flight of birds to design and develop a model of the wings more positive towards the wind. That way, it can make in the future of air travel more efficient, clean and fast. The principle of my impersonation of bird aircraft is now being developed further. Birds are being targeted for investigation wings are kind of Albatross, albatross kind that can fly thousands of miles without flapping its wings. With a wingspan of three meters long, the largest sea bird is able to fly up to speeds of 115 kilometers per hour. Sea Eagles did look stiff on the ground, but in space he is really graceful and stunning. Of the approximately 20 species of albatross are known, approximately 15 species can be found in the seas around New Zealand. This graceful eagle under analysis the researchers how she raised her significantly. The scientists want to design advanced aircraft capable of flying efficiently.

Johannes Traougott Germany aerospace engineer, and his colleagues were trying to map the pattern style flying Albatross. This bird, first flying low on the surface, but suddenly he was heading into the wind in order to achieve a higher position. After reaching a height of 15 meters, Albatross rotates leeward. Then glide easily and then start flying high again. All this is supported by anatomical Albatross that allow it to fly far and high energy efficiency.

Albatross have special muscles in their shoulders so they can lock their wings in one position. The quality is the same anatomy with the wings on the plane. According to Traugott of the Technical University of Munich, there is a great application for aircraft that must remain in the air as long as possible. For extended flights from where the main objective is to stay in the air. Janine Benyus, Biomimicry Institute reveals the president of the Albatross ability feel small changes of air pressure and wind direction. "To be able to feel it, we need a highly sensitive sensor on the plane of our future," says Benyus.

Application of the process of evolution into the science or technique called Biomimetics biomimicry. Biomimicry is the science that places particular natural objects as living things and the process of designing a model, imitate, and applied in modern technology.
