CHINESE NEW YEAR

There are many Chinese New Year taboos to be weary of. On the first day of Chinese New Year inauspicious words cannot be spoken. For example, words like break, spoil, die, gone, and poor cannot be uttered.

During Chinese New Year, nothing should be broken. When eating fish, diners must be careful to not break any of the bones, and be extra careful not to break any plates.

Also, nothing should be cut during Chinese New Year as that signifies one’s life could be cut short. Noodles should not be cut and haircuts should be avoided. Just in general, sharp objects like scissors and knives are avoided during Chinese New Year.

All windows and doors in the home should be open on New Year’s Eve to send out the old year and welcome the New Year. All debts should be paid by Chinese New Year and nothing should be lent on New Year’s day, otherwise, the person will be paying back debts all year

Back again

 Home, what is home to you? A family? Love?warmth? Well, things are different here..
  
  Being a loner is tough because you survive alone. However, you will eventually get used to it. "Have you ever missed home?" That question hit me hard. After years of being chased by "The Wolf ", my so called nightmare friend, why didn't I think of home?

  After a few months hide and seek with "The Wolf", I am finally here, standing in front of my house. Once I opened the door, I was greeted by a voice, saying that familiar sentence,

     "Did you miss me?"

The Journey

Through his latest work, Chiu Keng Guan steps out of box from his previous great Chinese New Year films Woohoo! (2010) and Great Day (2011) to reflect on Malaysian Chinese traditional customs, typical ego and the progressive nature of the younger generation.

The Journey is a sincere, heartwarming and relatable film that touches on general local issues such as cultural differences, compromise, mutual acceptance,  language barrier, old friendship and of course, family. Ah Bee (Joanna Yew Hong Im) returns to Malaysia from England with her fiance, Benji (Ben Andrew Pfeiffer) for the first time since young to visit her father, Chuan (Lee Sai Peng), and to hopefully receive his blessing for the marriage. The young couple find it more difficult than initially expected to please the stubborn Chuan, who's old-fashioned and conservative, strict with Chinese traditional customs.

Screenwriter Ryon Lee and director Chiu captured all issues mentioned while facing them straight-on with answers, convincingly conveying all the right messages that may change the stubborn mindset of the old and young target audience. Although the light humour cracked me up in several scenes. The dialogues may be a bit too cheesy at times but it works, particularly towards the end where it's undeniably moving. They did, however, neglect on developing the relationship between the couple Ah Bee and Benji, but perhaps never intended to do so as it's not a romance flick.

All three of the main cast are first-time feature film actors did quite well. Lee Sai Peng's grumpy-faced role Uncle Chuan didn't require much but it's the most natural and realistic performance out of the three. Miss Astro Chinese International Pageant 2007 Joanna Yew Hong Im's performance is passable but her role Ah Bee could've been better written as her mix of Chinese and English dialogues are annoyingly pretentious. Her on-screen chemistry with England stage actor Ben Andrew Pfeiffer also seems restricted by the script. Pfeiffer's over-theatrical performance may make his character Benji seem like a mentally challenged and highly impatient white fellow at the beginning, but as the story progresses, Pfeiffer's fully dedicated performance makes Benji even more likable.

(ps: Pfeiffer actually comes from British heritage and the accent he was working on was from a more subtle region. He has 28 years experience in theatre, film and TV.)

I would love to see director Chiu to attempt to make a multilingual or a non-Chinese-focused film next. We all know he can truly make great Chinese family drama comedies and now, it's time to go beyond that in order to make even greater masterpieces that would go down in Malaysian film history.

Chinese culture part 1

11 Taboos in Chinese Culture

Every place has their own taboos, and it is important to learn what they are when traveling or encountering another culture to guarantee you don't do something offensive by accident. There are many Chinese taboos, so be sure to know them to avoid a social faux-pas. 

NUMBERS

According to Chinese sayings, good things come in pairs. Therefore odd numbers are avoided for birthdays and weddings. To avoid bad things happening in pairs, activities like burials and giving gifts to the ill are not held on even numbered days.

Also, the number four (四, sì) sounds like the character for death (死, sǐ). That is why the number four is avoided particularly on phone numbers, license plates, and addresses. For addresses that do contain fours, the rent is usually less and apartments on the fourth floor are typically rented by foreigners.

AT WORK

Shopkeepers may opt not to read a book at work because book (書, shū) sounds like lose (輸, shū). Shopkeepers who read may be afraid their businesses will suffer losses.

When it comes to sweeping, shopkeepers are careful not to sweep toward the door, especially during Chinese New Year, in case good fortune is swept out the front door.

When eating a meal, never turn over fish when you are with a fisherman as the motion symbolizes a boat capsizing. Also, never offer a friend an umbrella because the word umbrella (傘, sǎn) sounds similar to 散 (sàn, to break up) and the act is a sign that you will never see each other again.

 

FOOD

Young children should not eat chicken feet as it is believed they might not be able to write well when they start school. They may also be prone to get in fights like roosters.

Leaving food on one’s plate, particularly grains of rice, will result in marriage to a spouse with many pockmarks on his or her face.

Or, the person will have the wrath of the Thunder god.

Another Chinese taboo relating to food is that chopsticks should not be left standing straight up in a bowl of rice. This act is said to bring bad luck to the restaurant owner as chopsticks stuck in rice look similar to incense placed in urns at temples when meals are offered to ancestors.

GIFT-GIVING

Since good things are believed to come in pairs, gifts given in pairs (except four) are best. When preparing the gift, do not wrap it in white as that color represents sorrow and poverty.

Certain gifts are also seen as inauspicious. For example, never give a clock, watch, or pocket watch as a gift because "to send a clock" (送鐘, sòng zhōng) sounds like "the funeral ritual" (送終, sòng zhōng). According to Chinese Taboo, clocks symbolize that time is running out, meaning the end of a relationship or of life is indicated. There are many other such ominous Chinese gifts to avoid 

If you give an unlucky gift on accident, the receiver can make it right by giving you a coin which changes the gift to an item they symbolically purchased. 

HOLIDAY TABOOS

It is a Chinese taboo to share stories about death and dying and ghost stories during special occasions and holidays.

Difference between the book and show of 13 reasons why

The point of view.
Book: The story is told in first person, making it feel like you’ve been let in on an intimate conversation between Hannah and Clay (which is occasionally interrupted by the outside world).

Show: The focus is still on Clay, and the events are still catalyzed by Hannah, but you are observing a web of people and events much bigger than either of them. Throughout, there are scenes and plotlines that completely exclude Clay, developing other characters and relationships independently.

The timeline.
Book: Clay binge-listens to the tapes, finishing them all in one night.

Show: Clay takes his sweet time listening to the tapes over the course of more than a week. This leaves him plenty of time to dramatically confront the people on the tapes about what they did (nope, that didn’t happen in the book either).

The technology.
Book: Outside the cassette tapes (which were already antiques by that point) and Clay’s cell phone, technology didn’t factor prominently in the 2007 book.

Show: Welcome to 2017 — group texts and selfies galore. (Props to the show for keeping the cassettes.) Instead of pure gossip, actual photos of Hannah get passed around the school via cell phone, which adds a more tangible, painful element to the bullying.

Drugs, cursing, and other “bad” teen behavior.
Book: There’s plenty of underage drinking with a few sex scenes, which are unfortunately also rape scenes.

Show: The show doesn’t shy away from anything, possibly providing us with one of TV’s most accurate portrayals of teen life by including lots of pot, sex scenes (some of which are also rape scenes), booze, and dozens of F-bombs per episode.

Clay accidentally hurts himself.
Book: Clay gets upset listening to a tapeand slices his hand on a fence.

Show: Clay, apparently incurably clumsy, crashes his bike not once, but twice. (Yet things go fine when he rides it drunk.)

Clay’s visions. 
Book: What visions?

Show: Clay has crazy hallucinations throughout the series. Most notably, he runs onto the court during a school basketball game because he sees Hannah lying dead in the middle of the gym floor.

Diversity.
Book: The characters’ race and sexual orientation aren’t specified.

Show: While the leads are both straight and white, there are a number of actors of color in prominent roles, including Courtney Crimson (Michele Selene Ang), Jessica (Alisha Boe), Marcus (Steven Silver), and Tony (Christian Navarro). There are also multiple LGBTQ characters, including Tony, Courtney, and Ryan (Tommy Dorfman).

The lawsuit.
Book: Lawsuit? What lawsuit?

Show: Hannah’s parents file a lawsuit against the school, which starts all sorts of drama.

Parents.
Book: We meet Clay’s mom, who pops up throughout the night to show mild concern over her son’s behavior and offer solid advice on his milkshake order.

Show: Parents are everywhere. We meet Clay’s very concerned mother and more easygoing father, Hannah’s devastated parents, Courtney Crimson’s gay dads, among others.

The suicide.
Book: Clay mentions that Hannah swallowed some pills.

Show: Hannah slits her wrists and bleeds out in the bathtub. Not only do they talk about it, but you see it in detail. Be warned — avert your eyes if you’re even mildly squeamish.

The fate of the tapes.
Book: Clay mails the tapes off to reason No. 10, and you never hear what happens next.

Show: Clay, changed to reason No. 11 in this version, passes the tapes to No. 13, the school counselor. (No. 12 is a rapist, so it’s doubtful he’d pass them on.) But while the first ten “reasons” spend 12 episodes conspiring to keep the tapes under wraps, they start mentioning the tapes in their trial depositions. Then Tony gives a copy of the tapes to Hannah’s parents — so, no more secrets.

Courtney Crimson.
Book: Courtney Crimson is the “nice girl,” and she spends the night at Hannah’s to help her catch a Peeping Tom. They give each other back massages to get the Peeping Tom excited, then drama ensues at a party when Courtney spreads rumors about Hannah for no good reason.

Show: Courtney’s still the nice girl. But when she spends the night at Hannah’s to help catch a “stalker,” the girls get wasted and play a steamy game of Truth or Dare that ends with Courtney daring Hannah to kiss her. (Spoiler alert: Courtney’s gay.) Tyler, the stalker, takes pictures of them kissing that get sent around the school. Then Courtney spreads rumors at a dance that Hannah’s a lesbian to cover up her own sexual orientation.

“Olly olly oxen free.”
Book: Hannah, Alex, and Jessica, the three new kids at school, put their hands in the center of a table and say this when they need to talk. It’s a little weird, but endearing.

Show: The 2017 versions of Hannah, Alex, and Jessica have upgraded their saying to “FML.”

Clay’s reputation.
Book: A normal guy who everybody likes.

Show: A nerdy kid who doesn’t really fit in.

Possibly the biggest change of all: Clay and Hannah.
Book: Clay had always pined after Hannah, but never acted on it. She’d always wanted to get to know him, but doesn’t admit that until the tapes. They’d work at a movie theater together for one summer, but they don’t have a real conversation until “the party.” (If you need a refresher: They finally talk at a party and make out, but Hannah stops him because she doesn’t think she deserves him.)

Show: Clay pines after Hannah, but — despite what they may say — the two are definitely friends. They work together year-round at the movie theater and talk all the time. They even have nicknames for each other, share a slow dance, and watch an eclipse together on a roof before making out at the party.

Hannah and Clay after the party.
Book: After Hannah tells Clay to leave her at the party, he tries talking to her, but she won’t meet his eye. They literally run into each other in the hall right before she dies, but that is their final interaction.

Show: Hannah reaches out to Clay after the party, but he is pretty cold. Why, Clay?

The ending.
Book: Clay reaches out to Skye, a childhood friend he’d lost touch with, who is now showing some signs of being suicidal.

Show: After hours full of drama, it’s a pleasant surprise to see this understated scene included in the final episode. But it’s not technically the end. The last shot is similarly calm — Tony, Clay, and Skye on a drive through beautiful scenery with the top down. But these milder scenes bookend an intense 12 minutes that show Justin confronting his best friend, Bryce (the rapist); Jessica admitting she’d also been raped; and a sudden second character’s suicide attempt, which actually never gets resolved. Maybe leaving the door open for a second season?

It looks fantastic, and a nice change of pace from EA's usual catalogue of titles.

Microsoft finally revealed the Xbox One X, which had previously been codenamed Xbox Scorpio. The console boasts a sleek grey design; in fact, Microsoft says it's the smallest Xbox ever.

Players can expect a 6-teraflop GPU clocked at 1.172GHz that's capable of handling 4K-resolution gaming. It's set to launch globally on November 7, 2017, with Microsoft confirming that 42 games would available for the console – 22 of which will be exclusive.

Bethesda wrapped up Sunday with its presentation . In a short-but-insane whistlestop tour, the wraps were finally taken off The Evil Within 2 and  Wolfenstein :The New Colossus . These two highly anticipated games will be coming out this year – which was a bit of a surprise, but welcome news nonetheless. 

Elsewhere, we were shown the Doom VFR VR game and Fallout 4 VR, neither of which have release dates. DLC for Dishonored 2 was also unveiled along with Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch.

Kicking off Monday, the PC Gaming Show revealed a few announcements, the most exciting of which were  Age if Empires: definitive Edition and new DLC for XCOM 2

Sony put on a pretty impressive display this year, although it didn't quite have the 'wow' factor of 2016. God of War, Detroit :Become Human and Days Gone all received new gameplay demos and loose release windows. Insomniac Games' Spider-Man stole the show with a visually stunning performance. Our personal favourite announcement has to be Bluepoint Games' Shadow of the Colossus remake. Oh, and Monster Hunter is finally coming to PS4!

Nintendo showed a strong hand this year, revealing two new DLC packs for Breath of Wild , as well as a new game called  Super Mario Odyssey that’s set for release in October. Nintendo also confirmed that Game Freak is working on a proper  Pokemon RPG for the Switch, and revealed that we’d also see a cross-platform Rocket League port on the handheld console this holiday season too.

Prey the game

Yo! Another game time XD, Sorry for the late post but hey, I have literally nothing to talk about at this point……so yeah.

This game is called “Prey”. In Prey, the player controls Morgan Yu while exploring the space station Talos I, in orbit around Earth–Moon L2, where research into a hostile alien collective called the Typhon is performed. As the Typhon escape confinement, the player uses a variety of weapons and abilities derived from the Typhon to avoid being killed by the aliens while looking to escape the station. The player gains access to areas of the station through a Metroidvania style of progression by acquiring key items and abilities, eventually allowing the player to fully explore the station in an open-world setting..

In March 2032, Morgan Yu is recruited by their brother Alex to join TranStar's research team on Talos I. However, while taking a series of tests prior to leaving for the station, one of the supervising doctors is attacked by a Typhon and Morgan is knocked out. Morgan wakes up again in their apartment, but quickly finds out that it is merely a simulated environment. It is 2035 and they have actually already been living on Talos I for three years. Morgan is then contacted by January, an Operator artificial intelligence that claims to have been built by Morgan. January warns Morgan that the Typhon have broken containment and taken over the station, killing the majority of the crew. It also reveals to Morgan that they had been testing neuromods for the past three years, with Morgan continually adding and removing them. However, a side effect of removing a neuromod is that the user loses all memories gained after installation of that neuromod, explaining Morgan's memory loss. January then claims that Morgan built it to help Morgan destroy Talos I, taking the Typhon and all of its research with it. Meanwhile, Alex contacts Morgan and pleads with them to instead build a special Nullwave device that will destroy the Typhon but leave the station intact, citing how their research is too valuable to lose.

As Morgan makes their way through the station, they come across other survivors which they may choose to help or not. Alex then tasks Morgan with scanning the Typhon "Coral" growing around the station, and discovers that the Typhon are building some sort of neural network. However, their attempts to study the neural network are interrupted when the TranStar Board of Directors learns of the containment breach and sends a cleanup crew to eliminate both the Typhon and any surviving station crew. After the cleanup crew is eliminated, Alex further analyzes the data and concludes that the Typhon are sending a signal into deep space to summon something. Suddenly, a gargantuan Typhon (called Apex) appears and begins to devour Talos I. Morgan is then given the choice of activating the station's self-destruct sequence or building the Nullwave device to defeat the Typhon.

If Morgan chooses to activate the Nullwave device, all of the Typhon on Talos I are destroyed and the station is left intact to allow further neuromod research. If Morgan chooses to activate the self-destruct, then the entire station explodes, destroying all of the Typhon with it. Based on Morgan's earlier choices, Morgan can either find a way to escape the station or is stranded and dies in the explosion as well.

In a post-credits scene, Morgan wakes up in a lab and learns that they are not the real Morgan, but instead a captured Typhon implanted with Morgan's memories in an effort to teach it human emotions and empathy. The real Morgan is long dead and the Typhon have already spread on Earth. Alex and his Operator assistants’ then judge "Morgan" based on the choices it made throughout the game. If "Morgan" failed to show human empathy, then Alex destroys it and starts the experiment over. If "Morgan" did show human empathy, Alex lets it go, whereupon it can choose to accept his offer to become an ambassador between the species, or kill him and join the rest of its kind in the extermination of humanity

Pros and Cons of Art

Art can come to lots of pros and cons,this is the some of the pros and cons

Pros:

1. If you draw all the time like I do, people see you drawing all the time. And they compliment you all the time. Which is can be pretty great.

2. You can make diagrams in science that are really a bunch of fluff, but look pretty so you barely need any writing to get an A!

3. You have something to do during lectures. Because obviously you're not going to listen to the darn things.

4. You look like you know what your doing when people ask you for art advice. Even if you really don't...

5. Fanart is the best. Especially when you get to draw yourself with your fictional crush.

Cons:

1. If you draw all the time like I do, people see you drawing all the time. They compliment you all the time. I cannot express how irritating it can be, even though they have the best intentions.

2. You can often get in trouble for having art all over everything.

3. Sometimes, you look at other artists, and their work is usually quadrillionmillion times better than yours. It kind of sucks.

4. Art is too expensive. I'm only in middle school and I'm a broke artist! I can't imagine how bad that'll be when I'm an adult.

5. My room's messiness involves clothes and papers. And there are waaaay too many papers, covered in way to much graphite

6. Too many famous artists are crazy and such. So if you end up becoming an artist, you're probably also going to go to an asylum eventually. At least, statistically speaking.

7. You are in a horrible love-hate relationship with your art.yes

5 Advantages and Disadvantages of Software Developer Job

No job is perfect. Every job has some advantages and disadvantages. If you are enjoying your job, that job is best for you. You should carefully choose a right career for you as it can make your life heaven or hell. If you have chosen for becoming a software developer, you must know the pros and cons of this career. I would like to share the advantages and disadvantages of software developer's job.

Advantages of Software Programming Job

1. Good Pay: As compared to other jobs and professions, software programming job's pay is high.

2. Portable Skills: You learn a lot of things like programming language, software tools etc. in one company and can apply that knowledge in another company. When you switch from one company to another, you also get a good salary hike.

3. Work Anywhere: You can work from anywhere. All you need is one laptop and the internet connection. Work From Home is a very good facility in this field.

4. Comfortable Working Environment: You work in a very comfortable environment. You always have access to fast internet connection. You always have air condition office, nice comfortable chair. You don't have to worry about the harsh weather conditions outside. Heavy rainfall, hailstorm, cold snow, hot or cold weather cannot affect your work.

5. Continuous Learning Curve in all directions: You always keep on learning new things in your office, in your project. Your knowledge continuously increases with your experience. You always remain updated with the new technologies and inventions.

Disadvantages of Software Programming Job

1. Global Competition and Outsourcing: We live in a very well connected world. Every body in any corner of the world is well connected with each other through emails, messengers etc. There is great IT workforce in India which can do the same job in less money as compared to the developers in USA and Europe. Almost every IT company outsources its lot of work to India to reap benefits by utilizing the talent of India and saves a lot of money. So, the competition in this field is global and you have to be very perfect to cope this.

2. You have to upgrade your skills continuously: Technology is changing every day. Everyday, there are new enhancements, everyday there is new invention. You have to keep yourself very active and updated otherwise you will be left behind in the race. You have to learn new thing everyday. You should learn to adapt with new things. Standing rigid with the old things will make you lose the competition. Keep on learning new programming languages and always add new thing to your resume.

3. Sitting Job: You have to sit tight to your desk and stare at your computer continuously. If this is not fine for you, you should not come to this profession. But today, other jobs are also becoming like this. So you will find this kind of scenario in each and every job. It can make you unhealthy very easily.

4. Age Discrimination: There is a lot of age discrimination in the software programming field. Many people think that a person above 40 would not be able to perform well. Preference is given to the young developers because it is assumed that they have fresh mind and would be able to solve the programming puzzles and tricks easily as compared to the old brains. Also young developers will cost less to the companies.

5. Long hours, Tight deadlines and no personal and social life: In IT field, you are bound to the tight deadlines and have to work for long hours and on weekends to meet the deadlines. Most of the Software developers have to sacrifice their personal and social life to make the deliveries on time. 

talks for young people(Essay)

Your school is planning a talk for young people. You have been asked to suggest a suitable topic for the talk.
------------------------------------------------------------

    Firstly, we can give a talk about “How to Manage Stress”. The reason this is important is because students nowadays need to carry their stress all around, either from the teachers, school friends or parents. From this talk, we can teach the students to relieve stress by having positive thinking, living well and so on.

Besides that, we can suggest talks like ways to plan for the future. This is because students need to plan ahead and not last minute. There’s a few ways to help to plan our future such as Making a plan, Share your goals, Set resolutions, Take small steps forward, Be patient, Think realistically and Don't be afraid to take a few risks because risk will bring you places because staying in the same spot will make you worse.

We can also suggest about how to be a good Malaysian, there’s a lot of things to do if you want to be a better Malaysia .If you are serious about wanting a better future for this nation and making this the best home for all, then start thinking of yourself as a Malaysian and not as a whatever race or the identity of your grandfather’s homeland. All of us are migrants, it just depends on how far you want to roll back history. But due to various circumstances in history, our forefathers’ boats landed on this fair shore and made this their home. By being Malaysian first doesn’t mean we cease to be Malay, Indian, Chinese, Iban, Kadazan, etc., but that our identity is now firmly anchored to our nation. Besides that there’s also Uphold the Federal Constitution, Be an active citizen, Reject corruption and Care for those less fortunate than us.

Lastly, we can suggest about how to be a better person. Rome was not build in a day, being a better person takes time so we need the first step to do so.one of the ways is to compliment Yourself ,Never Make Excuses, Let Go of Anger and don’t  keep them, always  Practice Forgiveness, Be Honest and Direct, Be Helpful, Listen to Others, Act Locally, Always Be Polite And Be Yourself

Game Talk With Us: EP3,Little Nightmares

Hey there!Is game time again and is holiday..Anyways ,this game is called "Little Nightmares"This game is about a nine-year-old hungry girl named Six is trapped in The Maw – a mysterious vessel catering to the whims of sick and powerful creatures. After waking up in the lower depths of the Maw, Six decides to escape the harsh confines, having regular moments of excruciating hunger. Whilst ascending, she soon becomes stalked by the long-armed blind Janitor of the Maw; who has been capturing children and sending them on an overhead hook conveyor belt. 

She eventually becomes trapped by the Janitor after being lured by food, though she manages to escape. After evading the Janitor by cutting off his arms with a door, Six follows the conveyor belt upward, to a large kitchen operated by the grotesque Twin Chefs. After another bout of hunger, Six is forced to eat a live rat. The Chefs are preparing a large feast, and attempt to kill Six whenever she enters their line of sight. After managing to evade them, she finds a way out of the vessel.

Six observes a boat ferrying large and obese suited Guests, who lumber to the Japanese-style dining area of the Maw, overseen by the Lady, the supposed leader of the Maw. After wading through the feast and the Guests' themselves, Six has another bout of hunger. When one of the Nomes, the recurring inhabitants of the Maw, offers her a sausage, Six eats the Nome.

Six makes her way further upwards, entering the Lady's quarters. The Lady lives very lavishly in an elegant home, with many broken mirrors throughout the rooms. Chased by the Lady, who displays magical powers, Six finds a mirror that she uses against the Lady in a battle. Defeating her, Six approaches the Lady and eats her, and by doing so, gains her magical powers.

Going downstairs to the dining area, Six walks along the tables with strange black particles swirling around her. As the Guests notice her presence, they attempt to eat her, but suddenly convulse and die as Six walks on. Six approaches a large door with an eye encrusted upon it, revealing a large staircase leading to the outside world. As she leaves the Maw behind, a few Nomes approach the door.

After the end credits, Six is seen sitting by the entrance of the Maw, presumably awaiting rescue. Meanwhile in the background a foghorn from an approaching ship can be heard.

This is a new game but there's like 100+ theory flying about as we speak now.First,Six could be the Lady's Mother as we can see her pictures in the headquarters,or the living area of the Lady.Most of the people says that the lady killed her family to gain the power,as i can accept that as in the beginning of the game you can see some unknown person committed suicide ,hinting that the father die due to the lie that his wife had been keeping .

besides from Six's crazy hunger,she may not know that eating her mom will gain the power,so that means she have two choices,stay or destroy the land.she may not survive with that power outside the Maw,but staying means you need to consume even more people,as what the first area called "The Lure Of The Maw".

as the game progress more theory rises ashore.Is up to the developer  to explain or,torture us with even more clues..

MUET-Special Teacher Award

You are in the selection committee for the Special Teacher Award in conjunction with the Teachers’ Day celebration. Which kind of teacher should be given the award?

---------------------------------------------------

     The teacher who should be given the award in the teachers’ day celebration is the most creative teachers. Creative teachers can make students enjoy in their studies and learning process more happening. For example, they do not only use the same classroom for their teaching period, but they try to find the other comfortable places such as the open space to do their teaching activities. The impact is that student not stressful in that class. Creative teachers can always use the relaxing teaching activities such as learning by doing the quiz. The activities can make all the students give their opinion and the learning process can be more interesting. Last but not least, the creative teacher will always find the way to make sure that students can get more information and knowledge with their creative notes. Creative notes can make students understand the subject they learn better.

       Besides that, we should give the award to the most caring teacher on the teachers day is because students can share their problem with these teachers. I think this is important because, these teacher have been helping problems faced by students, for example in term of emotion, health and education. Most students would feel himself appreciated by the teacher and in return students will show respect for their teachers. As a result they will strive to get good marks in exam. Lastly, caring teachers concerned to produce good students. For example, in terms of self- discipline. A good relationship between teachers with students can facilitate learning. Teachers also can be role model to their students.

     Lastly, the teacher who has served the longest in the school has much experience. The teacher can share his experience with the new teachers and students. For instance, the teachers can explain about the history of his school to the new teachers and they can learn an actual situation of the school from the senior teacher. So the new teachers will be interested to teach at this school soon. Furthermore, the teacher who has served the longest in the school can also give some advice to the new teachers how to handle student’s cases based on the student’s background.

       

useful skills

If you were given the opportunity to learn one skill free of charge, what skill do you think would be useful to you?  
--------------------------
If I ever get the chance to learn a new skill, I would like to learn karate which is a form of martial art. I had a great fascination and attraction to learn it but never had the chance actually to learn it. This is important for keeping a sound body and to remain fit. It is also a great weapon of self-defence in time of adversity and sudden attack by rogue people.

  The greatest benefit this karate offers is a discipline and self-control. Besides the physical exercise, patience and hard work karate requires a great deal of mental power, calmness and a type of discipline which are necessary for a modest life.

   If I get the chance, I would get admitted in a good karate learning training centre that would offer a really good training so that I can efficiently learn it. I will need to devote a great deal of regular time and will have to have the determination to learn the necessary skill.

  I would like to get involve in some kind of activity which is helpful to keep the body and soul sound. Physical exercise is one way to do that but karate would be more helpful as it would require steady patience and determination as well. I have found some of my friends and relatives found it very helpful in their lives and I was inspired by their discussion regarding the usefulness of this martial art.

Ways to overcome tourism barrier.

You and your friends would like to offer some ideas on how to overcome barriers to tourism in Malaysia. 
-------------------------------------

       Malaysia have been trying to increase the amount of tourists, but it seems to be the same every year. So, what are the major barriers in our country??

      One major barrier is language. The national language is Bahasa Melayu but English is widely used amongst the educated locals as well as those working in the service industry. Other languages spoken include Mandarin, Cantonese, Tamil, Hokkien and so on. Signboards and directions in the main cities and at major tourists points, are in Malay and English. Malaysians have recognized that the English language is an important tool for both business and tourism.

   Besides that, the sun is strong throughout the year in Malaysia. Tourists must be adviced to take proper care against sunburn constantly . Dehydration and loss of salt through perspiration are two other common problems for the unprepared traveler. They must drink plenty of fluids and pack clothings suitable for a humid and hot weather.

     Unfortunately , Malaysia have a reputation for its dishonest cabbies especially with tourists. Some of them are smartly dressed and even go as far as to make badges that indicate that they are a part of a licensed agent sanctioned by a local tourism association. The authorities have tried to solve this problem by having stiff fines on tout taxis, encouraging tourists to use the Airport Limo service or  KLIA Express to get to or from the airport, and advising tourists of their rights via notices clearly placed in taxis.

     It is good to be prepared before embarking on a journey anywhere. Tourists to Malaysia face the same rule. In order to ensure our hospitable spirit is remembered rather than the embarrassing acts of a few, the Tourist Board of Malaysia has advertised widely and printed pamplets and booklets giving handy tips and advice to tourists to Malaysia.

Activities to help the students to know Malaysia better

There is an orientation programs for international students who are going to study in Malaysia. Suggest various activities to help the students get to know Malaysia better. 

----------__________-----------

     When we travel to another country, we may not know all the culture that lies in the country .This situation will occur in students who transfer to other country to study, as they do not know what are the cultures and the rules and regulation in their society. You never know whether the things that you are doing are actually against their culture or you are just making people mad till the point that they just want to punch your guts out. This also imply to the international students in our country. I mean, someone of probably make you get on your nerve before by accidents. Therefore, we need to introduce our international students to our culture so that they can understand more about our country and feel comfortable being around. The easiest way to make the students to know more about Malaysia is through activities.

     One of the activities that we can conduct for the students includes letting them participate in a short home-stay programs with Malaysian families. When they participate in those programs, they can understand in detail about our culture because when they stay with the family of the home stay programs, they can help to cook and so on. For example, when the student experience home-stay around the village, they can experience the lifestyle and the culture within the village, they can taste home cook food, try fishing, planting paddy and so on.

  Besides that, visiting important landmarks of modern Malaysia. Landmarks such as Petronas Twin Tower, Batu Cave and so on can fascinate the students and thus making them to gain the motivation to know more.

   Other than that, Visiting museums and historical places in Malaysia can also hike up their knowledge about our lovely nation. For instance, students can take the bus to the national museum or even better, the old “istana” which now is open to public. When they go to those place, they will get a wider understanding on our culture. If they are around Malacca, they can go to A’Famosa to see the historical buildings.

   Aside from that, being introduced to social and cultural events of Malaysia can also help the student in understanding more about our country.Universities can form groups of four international students to one or two national students so that they can ask questions or the national students can bring them around to meet more people and the culture.

Things we need to know when preparing an interview

You are preparing for your first job interview. There are many things you should do. What are some of these?

---------------------------------------

After taking SPM, you will by chance take up a part time job, but taking a part time job requires an interview just like any other jobs. 

     Firstly,you need to always remember some important steps when preparing for an interview . One of it is about  what you wear on your interview. This is an absolutely crucial part of how to prepare for a job interview. After you choose your outfit, make sure it is cleaned and pressed and you have the appropriate accessories and shoes to go with it. It doesn’t hurt to try the outfit on ahead of time, just to make sure everything fits and you look great. ☺

  Besides that, you should always greet your interview with friendly smile and firm handshake. If you do this right, you will set off the right energy and the chances of the interview going well will increase. This is a small and simple step that you should always to do to prepare for your interview.

      Other than that, any work experience or skills you have listed on your resume are fair game to talk about during the interview. Your resume is all the interviewer has to go by in order to get to know you. They may pick things out from it and ask you to elaborate. Even though you may have a previous job listed that was many years ago, the interviewer may ask you to explain what you did at that job and your are responsible for providing an answer. This is one step you absolutely won’t want to skip on how to prepare for a job interview.

        Last, you should prepare some questions as you're going to answer quite a few. If you don’t know what are the questions , do your research and find out or see one of my other articles. You’ll want to have your answers ready and practice them. You should always be able to answer “Tell me about yourself” and “Why do you think you would be great for this job?” The employer doesn’t know, so it’s up to you to sell it.

Don’t completely memorize your answers so they come out rehearsed, but have a clear idea of what you are going to say. When you are asked, you want your answer to come out intelligently and natural. Be open to other questions as well and really know what you can offer to the company.

The Appropriate Form Of Punishment For Road Bullies

 Incidences of road bullying have increased tremendously in Malaysia. What do you think is the appropriate form of punishment for road bullies? 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Nowadays, there are many different type of drivers on the road, especially the crazy ones. People tend to break all sorts of rules just to get the fun out of it .There are many ways to overcome this problem such as punishments.

    One of the punishments includes prison. Let’s be real here, no one on earth ever dreams of going there. It's unsanitary, people there are horrible. Besides, that one single right of humanity is taken away from you, freedom. Let's say this guy is a road bully, and he causes this major accident just cause of his road rage. He's put in jail. Yes, road bullying is a minor offence as compared to murder. But people would definitely learn from their mistake. Moreover, there's a lot of time to dwell on your mistakes in there. Now let's say due to his road rage, this person ends up killing a person on the road. Then it's murder. Maybe years, or even a lifetime in prison. This would definitely keep dangerous people of our roads.

Other than that, the authorities could and should confiscate the licenses of road bullies. Confiscation of their driver's license, should in theory, prevent them from taking the road. And the period of time should belong enough for them to realise, or maybe regret the things that they did. If it's a minor offense like speeding, maybe 3 months or so. A major offense, like causing death, maybe years, or have his driver's license suspended for life. The amount of hassle of not being able to drive would really make the road bully think twice once he gets his driver's license returned back to him.

Let’s be real here guys, and again. People like money. And fines is definitely a good way to prevent road bullying. Obviously, the fines should be in line with what the road bully has done. A few hundred ringgit would definitely make the road bully feel the burn. Can’t think of the bad side of this? Think twice, cause you may get caught and end up paying RM500!

And this means the police play a vital role. They can't just be letting some people go. Or worse, receiving bribes (which is something very famous here). No, make them pay the fine.

All this punishment will be a warning of them ,anything further is for the goverment choose

Solving disciplinary problems

How can disciplinary problems in schools be solved? Propose a few ways to solve the problem.
--------------------------------------------------------

  All of the schools will and always have some problems regarding the discipline. There are examples such as bully, Truant, Smoking, bring some “illegal” stuff such as phone and so on.

One of my suggestions are the students have to be monitored by teachers at their school. Discipline teacher has to take responsibility in this case. Also teachers should give warnings to them such as tell them that they will be handed over to the Police if they are found playing truant. School administrators also must play a role to send all this problematic students for counselling with the hope some of them will realise the effect of mixing with wrong companies and hoping to change for the better.

Besides that, experience teachers can give counselling to the problematic students. This can be made every once in a week to ensure that students will change their mind about creating as havoc in school again. Giving counselling can be made with the parents in order to understand more about the student’s life. Students can also talk to the teacher in a more comfortable way.

Other than that, teachers can make a reward programme. For example, students can collect stickers of stamps that the teacher had given in order to redeem their “canning” by helping others or doing volunteering works. This is one of the good ideas because this can save their emotions and shame from having public canning in school that can cause the end of their pride and normal lives.

     On the other hand, the school administrators should hold some interesting school activities. This will attract the students to attend school and stop playing truant. The school administrators can also organize awareness campaign for the students at school to prevent the truancy problems occurring and hold some motivational talk’s .Lastly, the discipline teacher should meet parents and have dialogue with them about the problem.

     In conclusion, I hope the truancy problem which is happening in many schools especially from the last classes can be cut down with the involvement of all hands. Let’s make our school as our second home and truancy problem will surely be under control.

The benefits of national service

The National Service has proven to be good for the youth in our country. In what ways has it benefited the participants?
---------------------------------------------------------------

Firstly, one of the advantage of national service is helps in character building. The module that used implemented to build the effective characters for trainees that include self, family, community and country. The activities encourage trainees to work together this will actualize team spirit for trainees. The module involve in challenging activities such as shooting, extreme activities like abseiling, jungle trekking and etc. At the same time, the activities will instils a spirit of determination. Besides that, National Service involves students in community project like ‘gotong-royong’, visit old folks and so much more. So, activities which involve a good value like cooperation, determination, love, and strength will led trainee to build a good character.

Secondly, National Service helps to develop leadership skills. Developing leadership skills means being exposed to the concept and principles of leadership along with learning effective leadership strategies or how to convert leadership resources into productive assets. The motivational speakers that highlight the development of leadership skills. The module which involve group activities will train them to be leaders. National Service encourage them into group competition. This can instils value and skills necessary for leadership.

Thirdly, National Service can helps to promote racial integration. Student in several of ethnic group and racial background gathered in a camp and lead activities together. Indirectly, a clash of culture can help promote racial integration. The activities will allow trainee to working together and success in group work. Besides That, National Service module include historical talks on nation building. This is important of racial unity in Malaysia especially.

Fourth, National Service promotes patriotism well. The activities include talks on history and how our nation achieved independence. This will lead trainee to realize about sacrifice people before achieved independence. So the student start to instil national pride such as respecting national anthem or buying national product.

In conclusion, National Service give advantages to our country as youngsters are our nation’s future leaders. The benefit include helps in character building, to develop leadership skills, promote racial integration and promotes patriotism. So everybody should together with government to achieve this goal.

social problems in world :P

 There are many social problems today that affect our society. What are some of these problems?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this generation, things have been changing fast and tremendously .And the worst is the social problems.

So, what is social problems? Social problems are the general factors that affect and damage society. A social problem is normally a term used to describe problems with a particular area or group of people in the world. Social problems often involve problems that affect real life. It also affects how people react to certain situations.

One of the social problems that are occurring now is misuse of drugs. There was a time in cinematic history where virtually every actor or actress was portrayed on screen with a cigarette in hand. Smoking, it was implied, was cool. As a result everyone was doing it, including kids. Well, as awareness to the danger of smoking increased, “cool” images of smoking disappeared. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about drugs and alcohol. These vices are staples in everyday media. Simply, drinking and using drugs is shown as being cool. Our kids are literally moving around in an intoxicated daze. Immature behaviour is then amplified due to being under the influence. Drunk driving, poor grades and attendance, anti-social and violent behaviour and the list goes on.

Besides that, Internet had become something that everyone can obtain and use. Thus this have cause the misuse of internet, especially cyberbullying. Kids and teens this days love using the internet to insult people and judge others. This is very bad as this will cause mental issues such as depression, anxiety, and lastly suicide.  

Other than that, Nowadays Illegal street racing is very common by many teenagers. This can be seen while we on the round, many of them ride their motorcycle with the dangerous condition. It is believe that, teenagers are easily involved in Illegal Street racing because of many reason. For instance the effect of their friends. It could be worse if we don't take any action order to decrease the number of teenagers who involved in Illegal street racing. Because of their attitudes, the number of accident increasing day by day.

All this social problems needs to be solved in order that our world will be peace and happy J

Motivation, Motivation

Motivation is an important factor in achieving academic success. Who can motivate a person to study?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Many people go through this difficult and challenging phase of a their life. To success in school , a student has to work hard to succeed with flying colours. On average a student spends around 11 much years of their life in school, which means a lot of studying is needed and they need to remember every single thing that they had learned in school. Doing something for that many years is hard to find good quality motivation to inspire us to work hard and persevere throughout school life. Many people tend to lose motivation when studying for too long, this is because many students do not achieve their goals at an early and consistent manner. They tend to give up quickly when things do not go their way.

    Do you know that motivation produces the power to strive to concentrate on the student’s study? Well, my motivation is my family member. Unlike my cousin’s parents, my family always let me decide everything for myself as well as providing me with valuable role models by doing their duty as ‘’parents’. Although sometimes our family was in economic trouble, they always set an example to me about responsibility. It gave me motivation to study hard and has encouraged me to do my best for my academic success. I have showed qualities such as following instructions, submitting assignments on time, and so on. Even though that I’m not the smart student, but I hope that I can achieve with flying coloursJ. Force from parents does not lead to this kind of success; children need to feel the motivation within them. It is an important factor to move their minds through real-life incentives.

   Motivation is tricky as you need to make your friend and you FEEL to study on their own. Will power is tricky too as you can only do something if you really want to. So the best way to motivate your friend and you is to make your study time as fun time.

    Students can also find motivation from taking extra classes from teachers, they know better than us about certain things. Tuition are also an alternative way  to help improve our understanding even though its expensive but its worth it. Teaching is also a good form of understanding when you teach a person about a certain subject it will better our understanding about the subject. This will motivate them to do better in their studies, because they feel the thrill of understanding to a point that people seek them for guidance.

The Major Cause Of Stress To Teenagers

Many teenagers today are stressed out because of various factors. What do you think is a major cause of stress to teenagers?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nowadays, people are chasing against time to earn their desire living and a wealthy life. But we never think of the side effects of forcing yourself to work on everything ,and one of the side effects is what we call stress.

     Stress had become a major problem for our society these days and one of the “stress producer” is family problem. Parents tends to argue about almost everything in everyday life.one of the main reason they argue especially with teenagers is that they always stresses us about education. One of the example is Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, aka SPM for Malaysia (Because that’s the example for me and my friends) .They always tell us to study hard so that we can pursue our studies in a better college, even though they always hope that we can get an excellent result (which is the only thing they can think of because we are Asian? XD) they should know that not everyone can get the best results. If you think about it, if everyone can get an excellent results such as straight A*, the government will not take the effort to think about the HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills) questions ….

     Besides that, Teachers tend to rush through topics when teaching because they need to ensure that they can teach all the subtopics in a limited time. This had caused the students (Teens) to even be more stress out. Why? Because they need to ensure they understand everything and score their examination and make their parents proud. Because always remember, You have to fight with a large number of students to enter the college that you always wanted to be enrolled and if you don't get that spot you wanted, then your heart will just shatter into a million pieces then…

     Other than that, financial problems lead to stress too. Have you ever thought about how much does foundation cost? RM 21,000. Degree for software engineering? RM 76,000+!Those who wishes to pursue this courses that cost a few hundred thousands will be stressing out ,thinking about how to collect enough money for college, especially for those who are single parented teenagers.

    Aside by that, teenagers are in the peak of puberty, which is HORMONES. Yes, hormones plays with your feelings and make sure you crash into the pit of hell when they are done playing with your emotions. Some Teenagers just go with the flow and play “puppy love” but everything has their own side effects, which is the boy-girl relationship (The hormone game),basically, when the boy decides the go and flirt around, they are just playing the feelings of girls and some just hates it. So kids, do not play with emotions, especially those who name themselves hormones.

    Basically, in the nutshell. Always make sure you relieve stress in your own way such as exercise, play games. And always, have your fun J

Portals:Part 1

*this will be sets to part so that i cam finish my blog with at least a topic to write about*

Portals, what’s the first thing you think about? The game? A hole in space? Yeah almost...

it may sounds crazy when you mix some scientist like Einstein, Hawking and few others but the game Portal is more crazy than you think! Valves, your game have brought many of us to the point of carefully measured and delivered application of mind altering substance is the only way we can make some sense into your portal guns, but…… thankfully through some clever thinking and lots of madness , finally we know how is portal made.

People have been asking how portal have been made, through physics, spaces, Einstein and so other that I am in the point that I am writing this down here because I have nothing to write about and I’ll be damned kill if I don’t (unless that guy comes again and ruin my day saying how stupid and dumb my English sounds, FU*K you)

Now before I start writing things that no one will understand(in a point of science and English)here’s a note, do not read this post if you hate English and science or you cannot understand any of it.so please, get out if you do not want your brain to be dead. If you insist, then hold on because I am not turning this car around.

*Please be mind that portals can be utterly earth shatteringly frightening but the science behind it is exciting complex but is okay, this proofs that you can ask or burn your physics teacher’s mind about how much space formula you’ll unravel …

But before that ,let’s talk about what’s portal(as in the game)

The game retains Portal's gameplay elements, and adds new features, including tractor beams, laser redirection, bridges made of light, and paint-like 'gels' accelerating the player's speed, allowing the player-character to jump higher or place portals on any surface. These gels were created by the team from the Independent Games Festival-winning DigiPen student project Tag: The Power of Paint. In the single-player campaign, the player controls protagonist Chell, awoken from suspended animation after many years, who must navigate the now-dilapidated Aperture Science Enrichment Center during its reconstruction by the reactivated GLaDOS, a powerful supercomputer. The storyline introduces new characters, including Wheatley (Stephen Merchant) and Cave Johnson (J. K. Simmons). Ellen McLain reprised the role of GLaDOS. Jonathan Coulton and The National each produced a song for the game. Portal 2 also includes a two-player cooperative mode, in which the robotic player-characters Atlas and P-Body (both voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) are each given a portal gun and are required to work together to solve puzzles. Valve provided post-release support for the game, including additional downloadable content and a simplified map editor to allow players to create and share test chambers with others.Portal is like the main thing in the game and without it,youre basically stuck in there.

Night in the woods

Hear'e hear'e, there's a new game in market! Well to me is quite new, but that's not the case now. 

The name of the new game is 'night in the woods'.

The game is about a cat in her 20's and she is visiting her home after she was dropped out from college. Mae, an only child, has returned home to Possum Springs, where times have changed since the closing of its coal mines. Now living in her parents' attic, she uncovers a dark mystery that leads her into the nearby woods. Mae's friends include Bea, a cigarette-smoking alligator; Mae's best friend Gregg, a fox; and Gregg's boyfriend, a bear named Angus. Paste describes the themes covered as "mental illness, depression, the stagnancy of the middle and lower classes, and the slow death of small town America."

But the bulk of the experience isn’t so overtly monumental. It’s a quiet game, woven from small scenes between friends enjoying each other, hurting each other, reconciling and attempting to move forward with what remains.These scenes are, without exception, written beautifully. Even when the dialogue veers too cutesy, it feels true to a group of characters straddling a gap between adult and childhood that seems precipitously wide these days.Those characters are the game’s biggest strength. They’re all damaged in different ways, but in very believable, understandable ways, ways we’re all damaged. But each of these anthropomorphized animals also have more heart, depth and decency than most games boast in their entire human cast.Oddly, the one character I wouldn’t extend that last compliment to is Mae, Night in the Woods’ feline protagonist. She is often selfish, cruel, self-absorbed and destructive in ways that may be believable and relatable but rarely ever pleasant. Mae is somewhat redeemed by a childlike joy in simple pleasures, a streak of loyalty to her friends and some late-game realizations about her own failings, but only somewhat.After a scene where Mae belittles her parents for working for years so they could afford to send her to the college that she had just bailed on, I found it pretty difficult to re-engage with her. But I’m also a parent and feel a lot further from Mae’s side of the kitchen table than I used to.

It’s a bold choice to center a game on an unlikable character, and it’s an effective way of highlighting the virtues of the supporting cast. But the behavior of those other characters towards Mae, the way they work to preserve their relationships with her, makes me wonder if the game’s developers were fully aware of how grating their hero can sometimes come across.

Creativity :the Drama

21/02/17 marks the day of joy for 5 Angsana! Why, because we won the drama competition!

Drama is a unique tool to explore and express human feeling.

Drama is an essential form of behaviour in all cultures, it is a fundamental human activity.In this site we are investigating the benefits Drama can have on child development when applied functionally within a primary classroom. Drama has the potential, as a diverse medium, to enhance cognitive, affective and motor development.A high degree of thinking, feeling and moving is involved and subsequently aids in the development of skills for all other learning within and outside of schools (transfer of learning).

Drama assists in the development of :

-the use of imagination

-powers of creative self expression

-decision making and problem solving skills and understanding of self and the world

-self confidence, asense of worth and respect and consideration for others.

There are many forms of Drama. Here is a non-exhaustive list with a simple explanation of each:

Improvisation / Let's Pretend

Role Plays

Mime

Masked Drama

The main props are masks. Children then feel less inhibited to perform and overact while participating in this form of drama.

Puppet Plays

Children use puppets to say and do thngs that they may feel too inhibited to say or do themselves.

Performance Poetry

While reciting a poem the children are encourage to act out the story from the poem.

Radio Drama

Similar to script reading with the addition of other sound affects, The painting of the mental picture is important

The story is about our best actor, Mr. P had banned the spark of creativity and thus the world has been a mood less place. Until Jing, the mysterious guy came around to find Alex ,thus set the begining of an ending. Alex then found the gang of creativity. Artist​, musician, dancers and he himself. 

After long term of arguments and fights, Mr. P was defeated by the gang of creativity and thus the world has been a better place.
Yes, I'm not going to talk about the whole tale, but hey let your own imagination wild shall we?

Pros and cons of assignments

Homework is one of the least interesting tasks for students. They tend to avoid writing homework assignments because they are repetitive and boring. Exams are less stressful because they come occasionally and remain for a week or so. Home tasks are repetitive and monotonous. Students hate to attempt these assignments because they do not have enough time to give to each subject and assignment.

From a student’s point of view, home tasks are unnecessary. From a teacher’s point of view, these tasks are important to help the students revise the concepts taught in class and perform better at the subject.

Everything has good and bad things about it. Home tasks have their good and bad sides as well. Research shows that students should have two hours of studying at home after the school assignments during high school. The amount of home tasks has increased greatly since the past two decades. This makes it difficult for students to cope up with. Average amount of home tasks is perfectly fine for the students.

Pros:
-It helps the students improve their understanding of the subject.
-They can develop a better understanding of the subject and its applications when they attempt assignments on their own
-Students who have trouble in grabbing the concepts will learn better when they attempt the assignmentIt will help them revise the concepts they read in schoolIt motivates them to take initiative and carry out research to attempt the home task
-It is a good way to prepare for exams and tests. They will practice the assignment and get prepared for the exam

Even though there are many advantages of home tasks, but they can have some drawbacks as well if in excess amount

Cons:
-Students cannot take time out to dedicate to each assignmentThey do not find time for their other activities and extracurricular tasks
-They do not have enough free time to learn and develop their personal skills
-Students who have excess home work may feel anxiety and stress if they cannot complete the paper on time
-It can be challenging for parents to sit with students and help them out in their academic tasks
-It may (will) make the student hate the subject itself

Pros and cons of stocks

Stocks
 Pros

Stocks typically have potential for higher returns compared with other types of investments over the long term.Some stocks pay dividens, which can cushion a drop in share price, provide extra income or be used to buy more shares.  

Pros

Great OpportunitiesAs you will undoubtedly be aware, the markets have been very volatile lately. There are two ways to look at this, you can be fearful or you can take advantage of the opportunities that arise.

LiquidityWith the exception of stocks that have a very low trading volume, if an investor wishes to sell a stock, the transaction can be executed almost instantly. This gives investors the peace of mind that if they want to get their money out of a particular stock or the market as a whole they can do so without delay.

Opportunity for Substantial ReturnsSmall investors may be drawn to the stock market because of the challenge of trying to pick the next big "winners" before other investors do. But the primary reason people purchase stocks is because compared with other investment vehicles, the historical returns stock investors receive have been higher.

Earn Income From DividendsThere are many relatively low-risk stocks at present that offer fantastic dividends yields, many well in excess of 3%. This is alone is much higher than treasuries and money market funds

Lots of help and AdviceIf you are new to trading stock market shares, there is a lot of free useful advice available online such as blogs like Brainstorm.

Cons

Stock prices can rise and fall dramatically.There is no guaranteed returns.  

Pros

Bonds tend to rise and fall less dramatically than stocks, which means their prices may fluctuate less.Certain bonds can provide a level of income stability.Some bonds, such as U.S. Treasuries, can provide both stability and liquidity .  

Cons

Historically, bonds have provided lower long-term returns than stocks.Bond prices fall when interest rates go up. Long-term bonds, especially, suffer from price fluctuations as interest rates rise and fall.

As you can see, each type of investment has its own potential rewards and risks. Stocks offer an opportunity for higher long-term returns compared with bonds but come with greater risk. Bonds are generally more stable than stocks but have provided lower long-term returns.

By owning a mix of different investments, you’re diversifying your portfolio. Doing so can curb the risks you’d assume by putting all of your money in a single type of investment.

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

The Nine World:Niflheim

Have you ever thought about a different world? Or a different fantasy? Here's one, to me, is like the world of ice 😂😂

Niflheim (or Niflheimr) ("Mist Home", the "Abode of Mist" or "Mist World", or probably world of the darkness according to the Oxford English Dictionary is one of the  nine worlds and is a location in  Norse mythology which sometimes overlaps with the notions of  Niflhel and Hel. The name Niflheimr only appears in two extant sources.

Niflheim was primarily a realm of primordial ice and cold, with the frozen river of Elivágar and the well of Hvergelmir, from which come all the rivers. According to Gylfaginning, Niflheim was one of the two primordial realms, the other one being Muspelheim , the realm of fire. Between these two realms of cold and heat, creation began when its waters mixed with the heat of Muspelheim to form a "creating steam". Later, it became the abode of Hel, a goddess daughter of Loki, and the afterlife for her subjects, those who did not die a heroic or notable death.
