Have you ever heard homeschooling before this?Homeschooling is also known as home education that have been practice by most of american people. It is now become a public education for the students in america. Homeschooling in America, which emerged as early as the 1600s, has recently become an increasingly popular alternative to public education. During the 2002-2003 school year, a whopping 1.7-2.1 million students were homeschooled in the US! The roots of homeschooling in America go back centuries: home education in this country began with the 17th-century Pilgrims and Puritans, both of whom believed that educating children was the responsibility of the parent, whether personally or through a tutor or governess. Education at the time was largely led by the predominant Christian faith: by schooling at home, parents could monitor their children's learning, and tailor it to their belief systems. In the mid-1800s, however, public education came into play, and though homeschooling has existed since, throughout the19th and earlier 20th centuries it was definitely not the most prevalent of education options. Recently, however, homeschooling has become increasingly popular: it is estimated that, currently, the number of homeschooler and the number of charter-school students are equal. 
However this education practices have counter some argument due its pros and cons ..
     
Below are some examples of the advantages of homeschooling..

1. Low Teacher-to-Student Ratio - With anywhere from 15 to 35 students in a class, teachers in a traditional classroom have limited time to give students one-on-one attention. When students are homeschooled, they have a greater chance of getting the individualized attention they need. Teachers can focus on one student at a time.

2. Instant Feedback - When students participate in a homeschooling program, they can get immediate feedback regarding their assignments, quizzes and exams. Likewise, they can let their teachers know if they do not understand a concept or need extra help. There is two-way communication.

3. Customized Curriculum - Homeschooling allows students to get an education that is tailored to their needs. For those students requiring extra help or needing additional challenges, they can participate in a homeschool curriculum that focuses on specific areas. A customized curriculum also enables them to set their own pace. They can navigate a lesson as slow or quick as they choose.

4. Less Distractions - Homeschooling programs enable students to solely focus on the task at hand. They can pay 100% attention to their studies, without any worries, social distractions or pressures of a regular school setting. When students learn at home, they can also schedule their classes to suit their schedule.

5. Time Management - At home, students can sit down and get right to work. There is no wait time before they can read a lesson or start an exercise. They are no longer bound by a school schedule as a teacher performs role call, attends to another student or handles a discipline problem.

6. More Flexibility - Learning in a home environment enables students to have greater flexibility than in a traditional classroom. They can set their own schedule. If they want to study or take their tests at night, they have the freedom to do so. Families can take a vacation in the middle of the week, or use their kitchen for a chemistry lesson. The possibilities are endless!

Homeschooling provides people with an option to traditional educational methods. Whether students are homeschooled by their parents or take homeschooling online, they can be in charge of their education and make decisions about what is best for them. They have the freedom to create an education that is customized to their needs. It provides them with choices.

   

Whereas for the disadvantages of homeschooling are..

1. Not Enough Time. Because home schooling your kids is really a full time job, you just may not have enough time in the day to do what you need to get done. You have to full research topics and prepare lessons, set up projects and field trips. You will have to spend time keeping yourself organized, and on top of all that, you have to teach.
2. No Time for Work. Because home schooling takes up a lot of time in preparation and delivery, you may run out of time for house hold duties and chores.
3. Personal Space. When home schooling your kids, you will have to give a lot of yourself away. You will pretty much loose your personal, quiet time. So, if you opt to home school your kids, make sure to schedule in time each day for yourself.
4. A Lot of Pressure. Because everyone has their own unique style to home schooling, you may end up finding yourself comparing your techniques with those of other parents. This can put a lot of pressure on you .
5. They Just Don't Listen. Parents who do not have regular control over their kids, may feel overwhelmed with the decision to home school. In these situations, you will just run yourself ragged running after the kids, preparing lessons, cleaning the house, and maybe even running that home business. Make sure that you have control over your children's behaviors before you decide to home school.

Do you know what is human trafficking? Human Trafficking is a crime against humanity. It involves an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harbouring or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them. Every year, thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad. Every country in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims.
The purpose of human trafficking is to exploit the prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery or similar practices and the removal of organs.

Men, women and children are all being trafficked. However, the most vulnerable groups, those with limited rights or protections, have been the hardest hit. Disproportionately, trafficking affects poor women, children and members of disadvantaged minority groups.

It's impossible to deny the suffering of the victims of trafficking. What may be harder to understand are the forces that create and sustain this global problem. These forces — and the array of initiatives necessary to combat them — are far more complex. Trafficking does not exist in isolation. It is connected to economic, political and social forces that increase the vulnerability and desperation of the poor, refugees and migrants, and women and children. Trafficking is one of the most horrific end results of economic and social disparities that increase the vulnerability of millions of people. Such vast inequality allows many within our societies to be considered little more than disposable commodities.

From my own view human trafficking is something illegal case that cannot be denied anymore. They try to exploit a weak person who doesn't know anything. As such it occurs to my citizen who go to abroad and just want to bring a luggage for his boyfriend without knowing anything what's inside the bag.All of sudden she has been caught by the immigration officer in Japan and be accused involving in drugs smuggling. Until now her case still under progress, and only court can judge for it. Our lawyer from Malaysia also try to fight for her cases. Human trafficking can be happened in many ways,and we have to fight for it and stop human trafficking. In order to stop human trafficking each country especially government have to take stern action for this problem.

In traditional surgical procedures, surgeons need to make large incisions in a patient's body in order to work on the affected internal organ. However robotic surgery has changed all that . Today robotic equipment is used for certain types of surgeries.It may be hard to believe but it is true.
 At one time , it was common to see heart surgeons involved in highly complex and special procedures. To reach the heart ,they have to make long incisions in the patient's chest area. Subsequently, they have to split the breastbone in order to get to the heart. These traditional procedures cause great trauma for the patients.They need to recover from the surgical treatments, the split bone and the wound created by the incision. Furthermore these invasive procedure leaves the patients prone to infection. As a result of the long cut in the skin , the patient is exposed to infection by bacteria . Besides the recovery period is often lengthy.
In recent years, a new surgical technique known as the keyhole surgery has come into prominence. This technique requires into a couple of small incisions,each measuring about one centimetre to be made around the area to be operated on. Long instruments  are inserted through these tiny incisions into the patient's body. At the end of these instruments are attached small tools that are similar to standard surgical equipment. Then an endoscope or a tiny camera is inserted through one of the incisions. This camera sends an image of what is going on inside the patient's body onto a large computer monitor. This enables the doctors to see what is happening and where to place or apply the surgical tools. The problem with the keyhole surgery is that it is counter intuitive . When a surgeon wants to move or shift the surgical tool to the right,the surgeon has to push it to the left and vice-versa.
A new robotic apparatus, the da Vinci Surgical System has been tested in hospitals in the United States . It requires the surgeons to make three small incisions in the body. Two of the slits are for the insertion of surgical tools. The third incision is for the endoscope . The robot's moving parts are built to mimic the natural hand and wrists movements of a surgeon. This provides stability ,better control and sensitivity. The surgeon can perform the operation sitting at a console a few feet away from the patient.. The surgeon does this by holding and moving sensitive pads that enable the surgeon to manipulate the instruments. The area of the body being operated on is magnified on a screen attached to the console. The surgeon gets a realistic three-dimensional view of the area , as seen in traditional  operation. The smaller incisions means less physical trauma to the body, and the patients will recover in a shorter time. In certain cases , the patient's duration of stay in the hospital had been reduced in half.
The only drawback is that some operations have taken fifty minutes longer due to the lack of experience of surgeons at using the new technology. When the surgeons become familiar with the machines and techniques ,the time required for surgical procedure will likely be reduced.

~ DeOdOrAnT vs AnTiPeRsPiRaNt~

Do you think your armpit is smelly???of course you will apply deodorant onto your armpit..for sure;ppp..for what??to prevent odourless lah..hehe..Have you ever read its label, containing what type of chemical. Have you ever wonder deodorant can give seat back to your health....Actually deodorant and anti perspirant is different type of cosmetic,,both are functioning applying under the armpit..but in terms of chemical use ,,both contain different ingredients.As such anti perspirant contains aluminium which can block the sweat glands and generally results in reduction, but not total elimination of sweating.Whereas most deodorants contain parabens which can neutralize the smell of the sweat against the bacteria.The bad thing is anti perspirant can trigger alzhemeir illnesses as the sweat pore is block and deodorant is seem to play an important part into triggering breast cancer. Even though there is no logic evidence yet due to some arguments but some research has shown that both chemical can trigger the diseases to human. It may occur for the long term effects.Therefore, it is suggested for most people to change or use natural body crystal deodorant. It does contain free chemical substance and guarantee for our health. In fact it can last longer for the whole day than anti perspirant and other deodorants.So as a consumer you have to choose the right stuff especially related to your health cosmetic=)

the smell is good,,how about its chemical??


 this is the best one..

i really like this story made from a grandpa..


to all Bestari Teachers to be, here's something from Grandpa:




Teach My Grandson Teacher - Gently, If You CanMy grandson starts school today. It's going to be strange and new to him for a while, and I wish you would sort of treat him gently.
You see, up to now, he's been king of the roost -- he's been boss of the backyard. His mom, dad, and Grandma have always been around to repair his wounds, and soothe his feelings.
But now things are going to be different! This morning he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand, and start out on a great adventure... it's an adventure that might take him across the continent... it's an adventure that might incllude wars and strategy and sorrow.
To live his live in this world, will require faith and love and courage. So teacher, I pray you will take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.
Teach my grandson teacher -- but gently, if you can. He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, that all men are not true.
But teach him also, that for every scounderel, there is a hero.. that for every crooked politician, there is a dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend.
It will take time teacher, I know, but teach my grandson, if you can, that a nickel earned is far more value than a dollar found... teach him to learn to lose... and to enjoy winning.
Steer him away from envy, if you can, and teach him the secret of quiet laughter.
Let my grandson learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.. teach him, if you can, the wonder of books... but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on a green hill.
In school, teacher, teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat... teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him that he is wrong... teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with tough people.
Try to give my grandson strength not to follow the crowd when everyone else is getting on the bandwagon... teach him to listen to all men... but, teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.
Teach my grandson teacher.. but gently if you can, how to laugh when he is sad... teach him there is no shame in tears... teach him there can be glory in failure and despair in success.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob... and to stand and fight if he thinks he is right.
Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness.. teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidders but, never, never, put a price tag on his heart and soul.
Treat my grandson gently, teacher, but don't coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.. let him have the courage to be impatient... let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself. Because then he will have sublime faith in God and Mankind.
This is a tall order, teacher, but please help him if you can do. You see, he's such a nice little fellow... my grandson.
Teach my grandson, teacher.. but gently if you can.
