In fact, many world fashion labels are unstable and going to be bankrupt. One of them is French Fashion House Christian LaCroix.<br /><br />This fashion house has planned to ask for protection from the Court in case of bank liquidation. Creditors are now cornering Lacroix to pay off debts, with the house being in a position in which it obviously cannot do that, so it is taking the matter to court in the hope a judge will give it the right to continue operations. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Christian LaCroix is a smart, talented and creative designer. He founded his company in 1987. For over 22 years, the fashion house still exists among its competition to many other popular brands. Moreover, Christian LaCroix has been in top of his popularity during 1990’s. <br /><br />Christian Lacroix, although not making a profit from the amazing creations it puts out, has always been a favorite with celebrities, from Christina Aguilera to Helen Mirren and Nicole Kidman. Still, it is not the only one to take a hit because of the recession: the Italian fashion industry has long applied for government assistance, while renowned jewelry brand Bvlgari has registered its first quarterly loss in a decade, reports in the US media have it.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-75848560822531130122009-05-27T22:13:00.000+07:002009-05-28T22:27:42.378+07:00To Look Beauty doesn’t Need to Cost a Lot<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lifestyle.okezone.com/photo/dt/content/2009/05/28/195/223775/O14br5ioAX.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 165px;" src="http://lifestyle.okezone.com/photo/dt/content/2009/05/28/195/223775/O14br5ioAX.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We don’t need to pay a lot of money to look pretty, do we?

But, many people still visit this country. For you who stay in Japan, one thing I need to ask, how long will you stay there any longer? Before deciding to stay there, you must think twice. Why? <br /><br />This can be one of the answers. This time we will discuss about the fate of dead people in Japan. Although many Japanese killed themselves, don’t ever imagine that to die in Japan won’t cost a lot. It’s soooo expensive. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />By and large, Japanese will be buried in Buddhist way, by cremation of people’s body and then put their ashes into a ceramic urn. The urn will be placed at the gravestone together with other family ashes urns which belong to its relatives. They do this since the land is limited in Japan.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt140/rullybrium/1burial3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 199px;" src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt140/rullybrium/1burial3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Price for a burial place is range from ¥ 2 million to 7 million, more expensive than a house’s price, isn’t it? Then, we have to pay ¥ 50 thousand for administration fee. It is excluding the gravestone which costs millions Yen. But, each family just needs one gravestone which can be used hereditarily. For the rich, they usually choose to have one gravestone for each of family members.<br /><br />Funeral ceremony has been the next expensive thing. The family of dead people will ask a priest or a monk to take care of the dead body, starting from cremation, pray for the spirit to insert the ashes into the gravestone. It costs up to ¥ 2 million. Though people who make a visit of condolence will contribute some money, it won’t be enough to pay all of funeral cost; moreover, the government only contributes ¥ 50,000.<br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt140/rullybrium/1funeral1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 580px; height: 206px;" src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt140/rullybrium/1funeral1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span><span class="fullpost"><br />For children under 16 years of age, the price will be less cheaper. But the difference is just a little bit. On their gravestone, their family will put such kind of doll and in front of the gravestone, they’ll put some toys and foods as a ritual offering.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-80395734546522094102009-05-21T17:41:00.002+07:002009-05-25T18:59:55.845+07:006 Figure who were Never Born but They Live on People’s Heart<span style="font-weight: bold;">1.

But, do you know that drinking hot tea may cause cancer? Oh God!<br /><br />A recent research made in China revealed drinking very hot tea may increase the risk of developing esophageal cancer. Drinking tea at temperature 70° C may double or triple the risk of esophageal cancer which compared with individuals who preferred their tea at less than 70° C. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />People are recommended to wait a few minutes before partaking when they are served with super-hot foods and beverages. The researcher said that It is unclear how hot tea might cause cancer, but one idea is that repeated thermal injury to the lining of the throat somehow initiates it.<br /><br />Each year, cancer of the esophagus has killed more than 500,000 people worldwide, with the bulk occurring in discrete populations in Asia, Africa, and South America. The tumors are especially deadly, with five-year survival rates of 12 to 31 percent.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-34107473693291158472009-05-09T12:26:00.000+07:002009-05-12T17:35:21.413+07:0010 Worst Things on Earth You Should Know<span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Honey Badger: The Worst Animal </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Honey_badger.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 242px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Honey_badger.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Honey badger can be found in Africa, West and East of Asia. It has given a title from Guinness Book of Records as “The most fearless animal on earth”. This cute animal will attack anything and he is smart enough to know their enemies weaknesses. For instance, when he meets a guy, he will attack the guy’s penis. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />This animal likes honey very much. He uses a wooden stick as his ladder to climb into a bee’s nest. He often ignores his safety at the nest and this sometimes brings him to death. He can kill a crocodile, and he is an efficient snake killer. He just needs 15 minutes to eat a 1,5 meter snake. His savagery has been popular in the nature, even leopard or lion will not dare to kill him. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Mosquito: The Worst Insects<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Anopheles_albimanus_mosquito.jpg/180px-Anopheles_albimanus_mosquito.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 197px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Anopheles_albimanus_mosquito.jpg/180px-Anopheles_albimanus_mosquito.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Mosquitoes have been the worst insect on earth. When we lay at bed at night, we can hear them wailing but we can’t see them, and in the morning, we get some small bumps in our bodies. Beside that, they have been the most terrible insect since they spread malaria and dengue fever, and in fact, half of death people caused by their stings.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Fatal Familial Insomnia: The Worst Disease Symptom </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Music/Pix/pictures/2008/03/13/460x276insomnia.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 180px;" src="http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Music/Pix/pictures/2008/03/13/460x276insomnia.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) is found in only 28 families worldwide. The disease will not allow us to sleep and there is no medicine to help us. If it attacks, the victim will not able to sleep for 7-36 months until they become death.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Bullet Ant: The Worst Sting</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.painfulbite.com/images/pic_3.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 229px;" src="http://www.painfulbite.com/images/pic_3.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>Bullet Ant has the most painful sting on earth just like you get shoot by a gun, which can be explained as “pain wave like being burnt for almost 24 hours”. The pain of their stingers is 30 times worse than a bee or wasp sting.<br /><br />They are found start from Southern Nicaragua to Paraguay. Like any other ants, they live in colonies. Some tribes in the Amazon have an interesting ritual for the males of their societies. Adolescent boys go through a ceremony into adulthood that involves bullet ants. They are stung by hundreds of these painful insects in order to prove their manhood. A young man must stick his hands into gloves that contain a couple hundred bullet ants. He must keep his hands in the gloves for at least ten minutes. They have to do this for several times. Their hands usually get temporary paralyzed for the toxic and shivering for couple of days.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Salvinia Molesta: The Worst Algae</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dep.state.fl.us/lands/invaspec/2ndlevpgs/Salvin1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="http://www.dep.state.fl.us/lands/invaspec/2ndlevpgs/Salvin1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Salvinia Molesta is also known as Kariba weed from Brazil. It is floating on water and Salvinia grows quickly to form thick mats covering lakes, slow-moving rivers and other waterways. Salvinia has a phenomenal growth rate, doubling its dry weight in two and a half days when conditions are right. It can reach 24 inches height and it will block the sun light get into the water. Finally, other plants and animal will suffer to death.<br /><br />The worse thing is that we can not kill this plant. If we smash it to pieces, each of the small part will be able to live and grow up as a new plant.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. Corpse Flower: The Worst Smell Flower</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Titan-arum1web.jpg/391px-Titan-arum1web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 460px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Titan-arum1web.jpg/391px-Titan-arum1web.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We can find this plant in Sumatra Forests, Indonesia. They only have one big flower and produces rotten corpse smell. Its color looks like rotten meat which will deceive insects and trap them inside the flower to be eaten. The tip of the flower has the same temperature to human body. This thing is also used to trap insects and to spread their bad smell to attract their preys.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7.

Why is it so? Cause this kind of fish is consuming blood of its prey, just like a vampire. The smell of human’s urine will attract them and they will get into your penis or vagina! The only way to get them out is only by doing a surgery. This kind of fish can be found in Amazon river.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9.

If the spore of these bacteria gets on food or injury, it will produce toxin immediately. This toxin is so poisonous since with 1 kg of this toxin, it is enough to kill all the population of human being. Does it make people get away from this toxin? No, many women inject the toxin into their face for decreasing the wrinkles which they name it Botox (Botulinum Toxin) therapy.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-13464909039407698652009-05-07T17:41:00.005+07:002009-05-11T18:16:02.013+07:00Elise Tan-Robert, a Super Genius Girl from London<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoD2RvVNqswibOvyKEEUr7eRmx1g7aVcLYq0IS27H5B_tLAig_J5oJwu6Fn9RKhIPPhYYLu-1oxiAX7sNr7VNUwu83Rd2CvsZ1h9SQ5t02-_GSUWt75y3LuBGLMevVJzq5g9IFqhnjD9s/s1600-h/Elise+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 122px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoD2RvVNqswibOvyKEEUr7eRmx1g7aVcLYq0IS27H5B_tLAig_J5oJwu6Fn9RKhIPPhYYLu-1oxiAX7sNr7VNUwu83Rd2CvsZ1h9SQ5t02-_GSUWt75y3LuBGLMevVJzq5g9IFqhnjD9s/s200/Elise+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333032828998309826" border="0" /></a>God has granted an incredible intelligence to Elise Tan-Robert, a 2 years old little girl.

Rosalia's body is kept in a small chapel and is encased in a glass covered coffin, placed on a marble pedestal in Palermo, Sicily.<br /><br />The concoction made the mummy looks fresh has been a secret for years. However, Dario Piombino-Mascali - a biology anthropologist from Institute for Mummies and the Iceman has found the exact concoction that was used Rosalia’s preservation. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />He searched the material used to preserve Rosalia from the family and close relatives of Alfredo Salafia, a taxidermist who died in 1993. Lately, the formula was found from a handwritten memoir of Salafia's. The formula apparently consisted of formalin to kill bacteria, alcohol to dry the body, glycerin to keep her from over drying, salicylic acid to kill fungi, and the most important ingredient, zinc salts to give the body rigidity.<br /><br />Formalin has been known as the material for preserving bodies. It kills all bacteria which cause the bodies rotten. Salafia has been the founder of that preservative. Overall, the key of Rosalia’s body preservation success is the zinc salts which can make the body rigidity so that you can lift up the mummy from the coffin and let it stands up!</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-13919934656417365192009-04-27T21:15:00.002+07:002009-04-28T21:37:37.667+07:00Dead People Wait in Line to be Buried in Hong Kong<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIuU3mlC5_qXsJ4TugpgaoJbfk-kTyErrWdrSCrKQ-Ai23G6wNAr3Oi1kCvYmqhXj3E3uwf4mzKl1ax5BV_ud7o2xO6_AWaFCgJtAARQKsDZ5zQVCr5l-18SO2OPVWnTysoKlB0ArMl2I/s1600-h/Dead+People+in+Hong+Kong.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIuU3mlC5_qXsJ4TugpgaoJbfk-kTyErrWdrSCrKQ-Ai23G6wNAr3Oi1kCvYmqhXj3E3uwf4mzKl1ax5BV_ud7o2xO6_AWaFCgJtAARQKsDZ5zQVCr5l-18SO2OPVWnTysoKlB0ArMl2I/s200/Dead+People+in+Hong+Kong.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329750029524983170" border="0" /></a>With 7 millions of population, Hong Kong has got the fourth place of the most populated cities worldwide. In Hong Kong, it even hard just to find a place for sit down and relax, park benches are packed and strangers share tables at restaurants. <br /><br />Moreover, to respite after their death, the bodies always get difficulties to be buried and have to wait in line. While a land shortage forced Hong Kongers to surrender on burials long ago — only 11% of bodies were buried in 2007 — the city has also run out of space for cremated ashes. From this condition, means that roughly 50,000 families must store their relatives' remains in home funeral and offices while they wait — often for years — to secure a 1-sq-ft resting place. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />On April 14, the government started accepting applications for new cremation niches at its Diamond Hill columbarium, a massive building which stores cremation urns. The 18,500 new niches, the largest new public supply in almost a decade, required almost 1,000 http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=528171681201354141#people to line up outside the columbarium office to personally submit their applications on opening day.<br /><br />To overcome the problem, Hong Kong government actually plan to built 37.000 new niches which will be operated by 2012. But the number can only meet one year of cremation. Based on government estimation, until 2016, more than half of dead people in Hong Kong will hard to find a niche in public columbaria. A limited number of used niches open up from time to time and the wait can last longer than four years, and there are already 9,500 people on the waiting list.<br /><br />For rich families, burial is still an option. Permanent plots are scarce and can cost up to $30,000. In average temporary plots can be rented for $3,000 from the government for 10 years, after which the family can renew for another decade, or exhume the remains and yield the plot to someone else. Jockeying for burial space has been so intense in which 18 cemetery supervisors were arrested for allegedly accepting bribes in order to exhume remains before they had fully decomposed last year. Along with all of these difficulties, people with overseas relatives have sent the dead bodies abroad to bury, particularly in the U.S. and Canada.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-36878768542446647572009-04-25T20:00:00.003+07:002009-04-28T21:19:58.729+07:00Knowing, a Whisper of The end of the Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Jl44ebhYOWTR5fSCIVhYsyYic-CRqRU5hDcGMjtID26tntNe1ewMXSQZuSVBOyA18x2TgSbtIrCrVV4qao0hOlqo74XfuxS1fGlTntV29k1QlztILgdlCJajwL_2AhJBRwweEoNIP2k/s1600-h/knowing-movie-nicolascage.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 193px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Jl44ebhYOWTR5fSCIVhYsyYic-CRqRU5hDcGMjtID26tntNe1ewMXSQZuSVBOyA18x2TgSbtIrCrVV4qao0hOlqo74XfuxS1fGlTntV29k1QlztILgdlCJajwL_2AhJBRwweEoNIP2k/s200/knowing-movie-nicolascage.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329739802460716274" border="0" /></a>How do you feel when you can see things that people can not see, when you hear what people can not hear, when you feel what people can not feel? You feel something is gonna happen, but you don’t know what it is. Do you have a sixth sense or you are just hallucinating?<br /><br />Lucinda Embry, an elementary school girl in Massachusetts 1959 was blind of future. She is seemingly mental disorder/mentally disturbed, But in fact, she is the key of the global scale destruction prediction. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Lucinda was known as a mysterious student with distressed face, gloomy and talks rarely. One day, her school held a ceremony where the students had to bury a time capsule containing the students' drawings of the future to be opened 50 years later in 2009. But the strange thing was that Lucinda was not drawing pictures, but random numbers. She wrote the numbers so fast so that the teacher, Ms Taylor, seized the paper. In fact, Lucinda was not a number maniac, but she just wrote down what she heard from a whisper to her ear.<br /><br />When the time capsule was buried, Lucinda disappeared. She was gone. Everybody searched for her and finally Ms Taylor found her in a gym closet, frantically scratching the remaining numbers into the door with fully blood fingers.<br /><br />In year 2009, the time capsule is opened and the next generation students struggle to open each envelope. Caleb, the son of MIT professor and astrophysics John Koestler, receives Lucinda's envelope. Initially dismissing them as random numbers, by googling John notices a single random number sequence, 911012996, which contains the date of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks the World Trade Center and other several major disaster, natural and man made, that has happened over the past 50 years, with three that have not occurred yet, as his wife died in one of the past events, John starts to believe his son was chosen to get Lucinda's prophecies.<br /><br />Since then, the life of the father and son has changed. There are three disasters left in 2009. How can John overcome this? Meanwhile, Caleb who was born in deaf has to hear whispers as Lucinda did. John is afraid if Caleb will be the number next victim. But, he can not get away from the destiny. After struggling to trace Lucinda Embry, John finally gets the answer.<br /><br />Knowing is a novel of Ryne Douglas Pearson which turns into a film under arrangement of Alex Proyas. This thriller film is first released in March 20, 2009. The core of this film is not too far away from The Eye film. The film successfully operates on a base level and in deeper territory. It creates enough stress to work as a thriller, with the audience kept as in the dark as Koestler by the unexplained phenomena being shown. The screenplay, credited to Ryne Pearson, Juliet Snowden and Stiles White, reveals its surprises deliberately which allows the prevalent sense of anxiety to build while the protagonist races to prevent an unpredictable disaster. Cage keeps things grounded on a human level even as the film veers towards metaphysical territory. He plays Koestler as a smart man, a portrait of focused energy, but not a superhero. The desperation in his quest is compounded by the repartee Cage builds with Canterbury; there’s real emotional depth to the father-son relationship built on the pain of feeling alone in the world.<br /><br /><object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uHw8URgDvxM&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uHw8URgDvxM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre:</span> Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller. </span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Director: </span>Alex Proyas. </span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Writer:</span> Ryne Douglas Pearson (screenplay) and Juliet Snowden (screenplay). </span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Starring:</span> Nicholas Cage, Rose Byrne, Chandler Canterbury, Lara Robinson, Ben Mendelsohn<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-55482356256570838792009-04-22T20:39:00.000+07:002009-04-24T22:23:52.005+07:00Life Satisfaction in Denmark<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUm6XQtXINZ9nSar48gnybVRrTCf092mj2Kj_w8YQ_AYMx-nstrLfk-jnsEP_o1Yyap4UGE4UHCx0WhvqPnkv4yYtwO08M9Ws2NZbQPaOpU37FgrldyIsahEmPlnISOL7aDIBETJll_-o/s1600-h/stroget-copenhagen-denmark.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUm6XQtXINZ9nSar48gnybVRrTCf092mj2Kj_w8YQ_AYMx-nstrLfk-jnsEP_o1Yyap4UGE4UHCx0WhvqPnkv4yYtwO08M9Ws2NZbQPaOpU37FgrldyIsahEmPlnISOL7aDIBETJll_-o/s200/stroget-copenhagen-denmark.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328257998862218546" border="0" /></a>Are you feeling blue? Probably you stay in the wrong country. A recent research from Britain's University of Leicester examined a range of statistical data from extensive sources like UNESCO, CIA, the New Economics Foundation, WHO, etc plus the subjective responses of 80,000 people worldwide, to map out well-being across 178 countries in order to find the world's happiest nations ranking.<br /><br />You guess what? Denmark is the happiest country to live in the world! Denmark and five other European countries, including Switzerland, Austria, and Iceland, came out in the top 10, while Zimbabwe and Burundi pulled up the bottom. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />So, what about US? You know what, The United States which is the world's richest nation ranked 16th among 178 countries, while Britain was placed 21st. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe, with its continuing political crisis and soaring inflation, unsurprisingly ranked 177th and Burundi at the 178th.<br /><br />It is not surprising that the happiest countries are those that are healthy, wealthy, and wise. Beside that, population size also plays an important role. Smaller countries with greater social cohesion and a stronger sense of national identity tended to better score, while those with the largest populations fared worse. China came in No. 82, India ranked 125, and Russia was 167. The U.S. came in at 23.<br /><br />The list is at the following (satisfaction with life index):<br />1. Denmark<br />2. Switzerland<br />3. Austria<br />4. Iceland<br />5. Bahamas<br />6. Finland<br />7. Sweden<br />8. Bhutan<br />9. Brunei Darussalam<br />10. Canada<br />11. Ireland<br />12. Luxembourg<br />13. Costa Rica<br />14. Malta<br />15. The Netherlands<br />16. Antigua and Barbuda<br />17. Malaysia<br />18. New Zealand<br />19. Norway<br />20. Seychelles<br /><br />The other are :<br />23. The United States<br />26. Australy<br />35. Germany<br />41. United Kingdom<br />53. Singapore<br />64. Indonesia<br />76. Thailand<br />82. China<br />90. Japan<br />102. South Korea<br />125. India<br />176. Congo Republic<br />177. Zimbabwe<br />178. Burundi.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">So, why must Denmark? </span><br />Based on the research, Danishes are so happy since they always feel enough in everything, what we say it - Contentment. Although Denmark is not as rich as United States or Japan, don’t have super luxurious cars or houses, but they always be grateful for what they have. They prefer walk on foot or by bicycle for they can feel more relax, and can breathe fresh air. Because of that, they don’t have to think about having an expensive car, arrange the monthly installment, the maintenance, the fuel, or get stuck in the middle of traffic jam. Bicycling is fun!<br /><br />They also look for better life, success and wealthy, but they still put priority to their lives, families and friends. Education, Health care, and child care are free. The government provides a bare-bones pension.<br /><br />The Danishes tend to have low expectations. They try something out, but never expect extraordinary success. With just a little success, it can make them happy, and if they fail, they tend to accept their failure and start retrying. Just it!<br /><br />"Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp. But which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you" (Nathaniel Hawthorne).</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-51433762588615998092009-04-19T17:29:00.001+07:002009-04-24T21:56:34.125+07:00Thailand Nightlife - From Tiger Show To Ladyboys<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRxx3BxVuj4K9iGlpoIMjnE-oJBGsGiE_tnXd60wx8FGQKXzolDIVE_LXjj-W-n_zl1EZHg2vkg5VuyEdYOCfRg1md_AISwajULjFU2Z0ga6cbIOFEFOZAP9HOsmVUPhC5iI4eu0ACdZk/s1600-h/Bangla+road+in+Patong+Beach+Phuket.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRxx3BxVuj4K9iGlpoIMjnE-oJBGsGiE_tnXd60wx8FGQKXzolDIVE_LXjj-W-n_zl1EZHg2vkg5VuyEdYOCfRg1md_AISwajULjFU2Z0ga6cbIOFEFOZAP9HOsmVUPhC5iI4eu0ACdZk/s320/Bangla+road+in+Patong+Beach+Phuket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325610627297374898" border="0" /></a>This is the country where sexual escapade is totally free to hold, mixing so harmoniously with its tourism. Exploring the night life of Thailand means encounter astonishing things which are hard to be found in other part of the world.<br /><br />It was midnight in December 2008 in Patpong area, Bangkok. “Tiger show, pingpong show, c’mon brother..,” a man appeared while bringing the menu. It looks the same with other restaurant menu at glance, but in fact, it included many kinds of hedonic circus shows which you can enjoy in Patpong clubs. The menu offered is the combination of sexual escapade, striptease, and other wild fantasy brought in one package. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Yups, It is ‘Tiger’ Show which derived from ‘Thai Girl’ Show, very popular over the world as an “insane” show you should not miss when travelling to Thailand. You can choose the show choices, pingpong, horn, bottle, etc. Same with their name, the shows bring forward “remarkable” actions of women who can play pingpong balls, open bottle cap, and even play wind instruments with their “genitalia”!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeuKD1BogJVV6-O_RlDDVIS7rVxzLMytdNp6yePnLGPjWWeJYf02XUresjKu1RbkY7y4HVDGXssKfozwaTfwJjmWERhwnT1WJ_bPqON4mEADPCUtfrN3MTJ2gDEH26NoTRFOOJE-0Aik/s1600-h/02patpong.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeuKD1BogJVV6-O_RlDDVIS7rVxzLMytdNp6yePnLGPjWWeJYf02XUresjKu1RbkY7y4HVDGXssKfozwaTfwJjmWERhwnT1WJ_bPqON4mEADPCUtfrN3MTJ2gDEH26NoTRFOOJE-0Aik/s320/02patpong.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325610626309623138" border="0" /></a>That night was so crowded in Super Pussy, one of the most famous clubs in Patpong. The interior of this club did not look different with other clubs. One area had bar tables with go-go dancer who are dancing on it endlessly. While another area had a round shaped stage with many seats surrounded. Tiger show was held here. The audiences who major came from Europe amazed to see one by one of these miraculous scenes.<br /><br />Red light district Patpong lies on the heart of Bangkok City. This area is not too wide, which consists of two narrow streets getting more crowded with night markets in front of clubs. Almost all of the clubs let their entrance door wide opened intentionally so that anybody who passes them will be able to see their go-go dancers.<br /><br />Indeed, Thailand is the centre of sexual tour. Beside Patpong, Pattaya is also famous for its Ladyboys. But, this area is still desolate from travelers. Then, is there any other area which is happening right now?

The most crowded club is DClub Crocodile. The club with no entra</span><span class="fullpost">nce door has two floors. First floor is especially for ‘Ladyboys Show’, while in upstairs they offer ‘Thai Girls Show’. Thai girls will not be able to compete with Ladyboys, since they are much prettier and their bodies are far sexier than Thai Girls. Many travelers can not believe they are ladyboys, not girls. The milieu is bright, and some of the ladyboys looked so enthusiastic swayed their Spanish guitar bodies on the bar tables, while some other sit on guests laps, looked so intimate. They not only accompany to drink, but if the guests have enough courage, they can take them dating for short time or full time.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning!</span><br /><ul><li>Be aware to Thai Girl’s temptation in Patpong.

In case people have stress, migraine ratio increases to 1:2. Migraine itself has been the biggest factor of people absence and performance decrease in their work places.<br /><br />When migrain attacks, people can not think brightly and lose their concentration. Although migraines affect men, women and children, the medical professions consider migraine to be a “woman’s disease.” Two major reasons are used for designating migraine as a woman’s disease. First, it is more common among women than men. Second, there is a powerful relationship between migraine incidence and hormonal milestones, such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Some people believe that in addition to foods, stress or muscle tension trigger migraines. Others believe that sensory triggers like light, smells or motion bring on the migraine headaches. Of course, to some the weather brings on a migraine and to others it's a Chinese restaurant syndrome (MSG). <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />The condition of migraine will be more serious when the weary and depression followed by insomnia. Unfortunately, most people do not realize that the condition can bring to a physical defect. Not many knows how to cover this, they think the disease can be healed only with consuming an aspirin.<br /><br />Beside pain in our head, there are some other symptoms. They are chronic pain around the neck and back. We can recover all of this matter with multi-modality. You can have not only a therapist care but also acupuncture treatment as a complement of doctor treatment. Some therapy like infra red, acupuncture and moxibution can be held together. Beside that, pain killer medicines can help killing the pain.<br /><br />Medical treatment is the first treatment to be chosen, of course. The trigeminal nerve transmits pain to our face and mouth which causing difficulties in eating, brushing teeth or shaving since daily activities can trigger powerful pain. Continuous effort in handling chronic headache and neurotic pain can decrease the risk of patients infected other diseases. For instance, depression can appear when someone suffers migraine or chronic headache.<br /><br />So, people must be smart in choosing the appropriate doctor to handle this matter. Never underestimate your migraine, people.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-24705482907047809862009-04-13T19:23:00.000+07:002009-04-15T20:37:36.297+07:005 Things You Should Know About New York<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9fV5x-w6itftYXJNdIviRMJ7K_j-FGjtOfoNTGDZycPUbCZ7EFi3zDWbH5I0722VrdXRjf12ORaMChkCYxLXixvAsjwJVHWOjyuf7V7wLzdvGOtFft1CX-zNIqoLKnydA2k_p0v6m6Ek/s1600-h/new-york-city.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9fV5x-w6itftYXJNdIviRMJ7K_j-FGjtOfoNTGDZycPUbCZ7EFi3zDWbH5I0722VrdXRjf12ORaMChkCYxLXixvAsjwJVHWOjyuf7V7wLzdvGOtFft1CX-zNIqoLKnydA2k_p0v6m6Ek/s200/new-york-city.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324528256301423058" border="0" /></a>The most densely inhabited city in the United States is house to some of the nation’s most strange history. In 1626, Manhattan was bought for 60 guilders (about $1,000 nowadays). initially known as New Amsterdam, the English renamed it when they stole it back from the Dutch. George Washington was inaugurated here because Washington, DC had yet to be formed. Prior to the shows on Broadway, New York City was the theater for a series of crucial battles for the period of the American Revolutionary War. Along the way, the city has been filled with pirates, prostitutes, punk rockers, gangs and -- and those are just the facts you found in history class. The followings are the things you’ve never heeded about New York City. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1- The "Big Apple" was made in horse racing<br /></span>Touring jazz musicians started calling New York City the "Big Apple in the early '30s." A famous song and dance arose by the same name. People thought the slang derived from vaudeville. Vaudevillian Billy Tucker called New York the "Big Apple" in the Chicago Defender newspaper as early as 1922. New York City was the premier place to perform, so it fit the old show-business saying: “There are many apples on the tree, but only one Big Apple.” Nevertheless, more lately it’s been revealed that the horse racing writer John J. Fitz Gerald first used it in a 1921 article for the New York Morning Telegraph. He heard the term around the stables of New Orleans from guys who aimed to race on the big New York City tracks.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2- New York City has the lowest rate of big-city crime</span><br />Lower Manhattan alone housed over 200 brothels and an estimated 75% of New York men had some form of STD in the 19th century. Allegedly, the word "hooker" came from the streetwalkers in Corlaer's Hook, a notorious Big Apple prostitution spot. Fast-forward through that era, past organized crime, the 1980s crack epidemic, the Latin Kings, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and into Mayor Bloomberg’s reign and now New York has been reporting the lowest crime rate amongst major American cities since 2005. A major step taken to decrease the crime rate was the attempt to clean up Times Square and its longstanding sex industry.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3- Gangs of New York wasn't fiction</span><br />Daniel Day-Lewis’ character Bill "The Butcher" Cutting is inspired by a real-life Bill the Butcher. An affiliate of the Bowery Boys gang and bare-knuckle boxer, he disfigured a number of his opponents in brawls. He also owned a butcher shop. In the film, Bill fought the Dead Rabbits -- a real 1800s Irish gang. Their ridiculous name is wordplay on Irish-American slang. "Rabbit" is a phonetic corruption of the Irish word ráibéad, meaning "man to be feared." "Dead" is slang for "very." The merely gang with a worse name was The Roach Guards, whom the Rabbits formerly split from.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4- Subway musicians have to audition in New York City</span><br />173,000 people will walk through the subway stop at Times Square on a tuesday. That’s almost 10 times the audience at a sold-out Jay-Z show at Madison Square Garden. A busker can create nearly $60 in loose change and think it one of the world’s top gigs. That’s why, since 1985, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority program holds competitive auditions for musicians, some of whom have even played Carnegie Hall. The best will get two-week permits to perform at prime spots on the subway platforms.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5 - Washington Square Park used as a site for public executions</span><br />The area was used as a graveyard for strangers to the city starting from year 1700’s. Burials were done in a burlap sack and not a coffin for cost reasons. The trees and grass grew strong over the century with the dead bodies supplying nutrients for the soil, and it became a common grazing area for horses. The Yellow Fever epidemic was filling the field with hundreds of bodies by the 1790’s. At last, someone perceived the strong elms surrounding this common death site and started staging public hangings there. The infamous Hangman’s Elm still stands in the northwest corner of the park.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-87918517597919071142009-04-09T09:42:00.006+07:002009-04-09T10:38:45.792+07:00Suri Cruise, The Most Influential Toddler<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuH6CsMnrWH2qrfh3WYpWk3qPdEdEm5pDMe2vU8GK0t9o_rCISwYgX792hs6sqL_UcgAxab0lSSSfzEq1-HeZ1EzcwQSfH6RqNlp9mYxkrmKwDfQhy9PlF4mlt7RhyLaXNo8keQrpG15A/s1600-h/suri+cruise.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuH6CsMnrWH2qrfh3WYpWk3qPdEdEm5pDMe2vU8GK0t9o_rCISwYgX792hs6sqL_UcgAxab0lSSSfzEq1-HeZ1EzcwQSfH6RqNlp9mYxkrmKwDfQhy9PlF4mlt7RhyLaXNo8keQrpG15A/s200/suri+cruise.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322526082419352674" border="0" /></a>Suri, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who usually people call her “Tomkitten” has been chosen by Forbes magazine the most influential toddler in Hollywood.

Los Angeles Times summarizedthe statements of Cruise who stated that it is a word origins from Hebrew and Persian. In Hebrew, it means 'princess' and in Persian, 'red rose’. However, some magazines and blogs noted Cruise’s mistranslation. In Hebrew, Suri actually means "from Syria", not "princess". The wrong etymology might stem from the fact that Suri is a Yiddish pet form of “Sarah”, which means "princess”.<br /><br />Other children of popular celebrities has also stated by Forbes. They are David Banda Madonna’s adopted son, Matilda Rose Ledger – daughter of Michael Williams and the late Heath Ledger, and Sean Preston Federline – Britney spears’ son.</span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528171681201354141.post-70131398393550947182009-04-06T22:49:00.000+07:002009-05-07T17:54:02.936+07:00Movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTzoGgqkLTaYQsLUa3tHnYvTTumRyPt-VNgNm1C5zE_wyq9m-I9BAO-tp5sfIqHj8C8AsyA6VVySgniciBy43PlQO9fMpY88E1QMwnCTYnXuDT3oB8xO7-i1WDygQLDT95SnueHbQhL90/s1600-h/THE+CURIOUS+CASE+OF+BENJAMIN+BUTTON.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTzoGgqkLTaYQsLUa3tHnYvTTumRyPt-VNgNm1C5zE_wyq9m-I9BAO-tp5sfIqHj8C8AsyA6VVySgniciBy43PlQO9fMpY88E1QMwnCTYnXuDT3oB8xO7-i1WDygQLDT95SnueHbQhL90/s200/THE+CURIOUS+CASE+OF+BENJAMIN+BUTTON.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322344229645710530" border="0" /></a>Everybody passes three stages in their life, to be born, live and die. David fincher recently directed a new drama which tells a tale of an infant that was born in a strange appearance as an 86 years old man. The baby suffers the frailties of an old man. It even more looks like a wrinkled monster than a cute baby people often see. It lives his life in reverse, to be younger each year goes by and becomes an infant at the end of his life. Time it passes turn its age backwards.<br /><br />Its mother passed away not long after giving birth. When the father knew the condition of the baby, he banished the baby and put it to a nursing home with 18 bucks under its worn out blanket. Luckily, it was founded by Queenie (Taraji P Henson) and her husband Tizzy, who work for the nursing home. They love the baby very much and take care it as their own child, since Queenie could not give Tizzy a child. They gave the baby's name: Benjamin. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />The fate has been put on him. Although a doctor has made a verdict that Benjamin would not live longer, day by day, his health condition was better and better. When many old people grow older, Benjamin goes younger. He met Daisy (Elle Fanning), a young girl who also lived in the nursing home. She made his life brighter while passing every weekend together with Benjamin. Daisy became a special one in his heart.<br /><br />A few years later he worked on a tug boat and sails to many countries. He lived far away from Daisy. In 1962, he met Daisy and they live together. Not long after that, Daisy gave birth, they named it Caroline. Benjamin made up his mind to leave Daisy and the baby because he realized that he could no longer to be Caroline's father due to his reversing age.<br /><br />Many years passed by, the memory still remains in Daisy's heart. When Daisy (Cate Blanchett) is dying in a hospital, she asks her daughter, Caroline (Julia Ormond) to read Benjamin's diary which kept by Daisy. By reading the diary, Caroline finally knows that Benjamin is his father. She is really disappointed with her mother who never tells about her father, moreover when she finds that her father always express his love for Caroline by sending her a postcard in each of her birthdays.<br /><br />The story goes until Benjamin meets Daisy when he becomes a teenager. He experiences an alzheimer symptom as he frequently forgets his memory with Daisy. But she still takes care him with love until somedays, when he turns back into a baby, he dies in Daisy's arms . He is not able to grow younger. So Ironic!<br /><br />David Fincher takes the story from short story written by F Scott Fitzgerald in 1920, It takes a long time to finish up the movie. But, in Academy awards 2009 which will be held in Kodak Theathre, Los Angeles, USA, the movie is success to bring 13 nominations in Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Score,Best Visual Effects, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, and Best Sound Mixing.<br /><br />After watching this movie, we may think that it is quite impossible when a woman grows older while her couple grows younger. Their daughter grows up as his father returns back to a baby. Fincher well directs the movie so that the people who watch the movie will not get bored and the impossibility turns into an interesting movie to watch . The actors and actresses act perfectly, making the movie is hard to be forgotten.<br /><br /><object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7L6K3fkwr-Y&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7L6K3fkwr-Y&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>: Drama, Fantasy, Mystery, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Directed by</span>: David Fincher, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Produced by</span> : Kathleen Kennedy, Cean Chaffin, Frank Marshall, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Written by</span>: Eric Roth, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Starring</span>: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P Henson, Julia Ormond, Tilda Swinton, Eric West, Elias Koteas, Joshua DesRoches, Elle Fanning, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. </span>amkhalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945701635144361833noreply@blogger.com0
