LAWAS: Freedom of worship in Malaysia is precious and should be appreciated by all communities.

Lawas MP Datuk Henry Sum Agong said this when officiating at the earth-breaking ceremony of Methodist Church Indigenous Students Welfare Centre and Sarawak Annual Coronation Conference (SCAC) led by Rev Dato Dr Su Chii An in Lawas recently.

This is in contrast to countries which do not allow places of worship of non-official religions to be built, he said.

Henry said religious teachings inculcated good moral values, and urged Christians in the district to continue upholding inter-racial and inter-religious harmony.

We appreciate the fair leadership in Lawas which do not oppress other religions, he said.

The Lawas MP said cooperation between Christians and non-Christians contributed towards a harmonious society under the BN government.

He warned against any form of extremism caused by fanatical sects hiding behind the cloak of religion to justify wrongdoings.

Secrets from Breaking Nicotine Addiction

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 31, 2012

Freedom Laser Therapy is announcing the release of the 10 Most Common Reasons Why Smokers Fail at Quitting to help people who are making quitting smoking their New Year's Resolution. Smokers who desire to quit can also watch powerful anti smoking videos online at http://www.freedomquitsmoking.com to educate them about their nicotine addiction. Nabat says, "In Freedom's effort to help people quit smoking nationwide, we are now offering a 14 day free trial to anyone interested in trying the new Freedom Quit Smoking System, they'll just need to pay processing and handling. Contact Freedom directly through freedomquitsmoking.com to inquire about this free trial offer."

10 Most Common Reasons Why Smokers Fail at Quitting

1) Peer pressure or negative influence from other smokers.

2) Believing that smoking just one cigarette again can ever be an option for the smoker today or in the future.

3) Envying smokers, instead of pitying them. Don't envy nicotine addicts.

4) Thinking a cigarette is a go-to when something bad occurs in life.

5) The former smoker feeling each day they are sacrificing something monumental when quitting smoking. Smokers should look at quitting smoking as if they are regaining health, peace of mind, freedom, cleanliness and saving money.

6) Thinking that smoking cigarettes is a coping mechanism for a stressful situation; on the contrary, it only makes a person a slave to nicotine all over again. Smoking blocks the arteries and veins from receiving more oxygen causing more stress throughout the body.

Watch Night services to celebrate New Year, freedom from slavery

Posted on by

The Rev. Mark Whitlock will be donning a tuxedo Monday night for a joyful New Years Eve celebration, ringing in 2013 from the pulpit of his Orange County church.

For many African American Christians, such as Whitlock, New Years Eve is a time to gather in Watch Night services commemorating their ancestors vigil150 years ago over whether President Lincoln would sign the Emancipation Proclamation. Because Lincoln did sign it on Jan. 1, 1863, declaring all slaves in confederate states forever free, the evening became a time of prayer, song, dance and celebration, Whitlock said.

For us, its about the birth of freedom in 1863, said Whitlock, pastor of Christ Our Redeemer Church, an African Methodist Episcopal congregation in Irvine. And in 2013, we shall seek freedom from oppression and inner conflicts.

The pastor of the 2,800-member congregation said festivities would start at 9 p.m. with dinner, followed by a 10 p.m. worship service featuring gospel music and an 11:30 p.m. sermon. Putting a modern twist on the freedom message, congregants will share stories of their liberation this year from alcoholism, drug abuse, poverty, poor health and other crippling conditions, Whitlock said.

Congregants will dramatize watchmen awaiting news over Lincolns decision, then break into celebration at the stroke of midnight. The church is at 46 Maxwell in Irvine.

A 10 p.m. service is also scheduled at the cathedral of West Angeles Church of God in Christ, 3600 Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Watch Night services will also be held in the United Methodist Church, whose co-founder, John Wesley, first popularized them in the 18th century. Bishop Minerva G. Carcao of the denominations Los Angeles Episcopal area, said Wesley began the Watch Nights as an opportunity to renew congregants covenant with God for the new year.

Wesley had a deep sense that we have come this far by the grace of God and the only appropriate response is to recommit our lives to God, she said.

Several Methodist congregations have scheduled Watch Nights, including a 7 p.m. service at Claremont United Methodist Church, 211 West Foothill Blvd. In the Episcopal denomination, a 7:30 p.m. service is scheduled at All Saints Church, 132 N. Euclid Avenue in Pasadena.

Looking forward: The fight for Internet freedom

INTERNET FREEDOM. Take a look at the past, present, and future of Internet freedom.

Editor's Note: This is the first of a 3-part piece on Internet freedom and the future ahead.

MANILA, Philippines - While 2012 was a year where the Filipino people had to band together to stop a cybercrime law, 2013 may very well be the year for the world to maintain a vigil for their rights on the Internet.

To look forward, let's take a quick look back at some points where the future of the Internet was in jeopardy, and then see what 2013 might hold for the fate of the worldwide web.

2011 and the Internet

2011 saw the introduction of some major legislation in other parts of the world. In the United States, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) were there to give Internet users a headache. Both sought to stop copyright infringement online, but the implementation seemed prone for abuses and reduced the potential freedom of expression of people in the US and outside it.

Both SOPA and PIPA faced a significant backlash from users worldwide, with protests against SOPA and PIPA culminating in what was called American Censorship Day on November 16, 2011. The two are basically stalled, though those opposing the SOPA and PIPA are working to kill the acts entirely.

INTERNET REGULATION. SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA were all part of 2011's developing rhetoric on Internet freedoms.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), while drafted in 2010, was formally published in 2011. This multinational treaty was made to create international standards for enforcing intellectual property rights, including things like digital piracy.

This particular agreement shares some of the same issues that SOPA and PIPA had, namely issues with freedom of expression and privacy rights, and is perhaps even more secretive in the way it was held than SOPA and PIPA. Despite this, however, Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and the United States have signed the agreement in 2011, with more signing in 2012.

Rousey vs. Cyborg: Dana White Says Dolce Diet Can Get Cyborg Down to 135 Pounds

Posted on by

Famed MMA nutritionist Mike Dolce might be just the man that UFC president Dana White needs in order to seal the deal on a superfight between Ronda Rousey and Cristiane Justino.

Right now, the only thing preventing a match between the two former Strikeforce women's champions is a difference in weight.

But while Cris "Cyborg" insists that there's no way that she can cut 10 pounds to challenge for Rousey's UFC women's bantamweight title belt, White tells TATAMEthat Dolce's patented system can get the featherweight bruiser to safely and efficiently cut down to 135 pounds (translation via Google):

"She can get to this weight, we have an expert who can help you lose weight in a healthy way, [he] does so with all our athletes. We have Mike Dolce, who has the system to [get] wrestlers [to] lose weight and still feel good, and it's all about your diet. He is 100% ready to work with her and [it] will not cost anything to Cris," said Dana, who has even [compared] the Cyborg x Ronda [rivalry to] boxers Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.

Bloody Elbow followed up with Dolce himself, who stated that not only would the weight cut be possible, but that he could also get Cyborg down to 135 pounds with very little difficulty:

It is absolutely possible for her to make 135. I believe 135 will be her best weight class. I think she's a legitimate 135 pounder. I think as good as she was at 145, she'll be even more dynamic at 135. I believe it wouldn't be that difficult at all.

Dolce also told Bloody Elbowthat Cyborg would actually be better suited fighting at the bantamweight limit and would be an "amazing" competitor at that weight. Even while competing at 145 pounds, Cyborg racked up an impressive 11-fight winning streak.

However, Justino's career was put on hold due to a one-year suspension after testing positive for anabolic steroids in January 2012.Regardless of Cyborg's schedule, Rousey will still make her first UFC title defense against top-ranked challenger Liz Carmouche at UFC 157.

If Rousey walks out of her first UFC main event as the champion, it's highly possible that Cyborg will be next in line to fight for the women's bantamweight title at a future UFC pay-per-view.

Both women have spent over a year trading heated words, with Rousey famously tellingTSN Radio's The MMA Report with John Pollock that she didn't care if Cyborg was injecting "horse semen" into her eyes, but her foe simply needed to "stop doping" in order to successfully cut to 135 pounds.

Beaches closed as shark refuses to be herded off

SEARCH and rescue teams will scour the northern beaches again after a 2.5-metre shark closed two popular swimming spots.

In the second brush with a shark on a NSW beach in the past three days, an off-duty Warringah Council lifeguard, Danny Sheather, was knocked off his board while surfing at Dee Why about 12.45pm on Sunday.

Mr Sheather did not see what hit him but noticed a 30-centimetre chunk out of the bottom of his board when he returned to shore.

''It looked like something had come up and rammed him from underneath,'' Steve Downman, a Warringah Council lifeguard supervisor, said. Dee Why and Long Reef beaches were immediately closed.

The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter soon spotted a 2.5-metre white shark at the south end of Dee Why.

Despite lifesavers' efforts it could not be moved on, so both beaches remained closed all afternoon.

''The boat attempted to shepherd the shark away from shallow water,'' Stephen Leahy, the chief executive of the helicopter service, said. ''It wasn't deterred whatsoever, which is unusual.''

The heights of astronomy, in 3-D

John Brecher / NBC News

Star trails light the night sky above observatories atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. In the distance is Haleakala on the island of Maui. Look at the image through red-blue glasses to see the 3-D effect.

By Alan Boyle

What better way to start off the year than with a beautiful view of the heavens from one of the world's highest astronomical vantage points? Here's one way to make it better: Show it in 3-D!

This picture of the Mauna Kea Observatories was captured last month by NBC News' John Brecher during a visit to Hawaii's Big Island. The 13,796-foot-high (4,205-meter-high) facility is home to 13 telescopes, ranging from the University of Hawaii's 0.9-meter educational telescope to the 25-meter radio dish used as part of the Very Long Baseline Array.

Here you see, from left, Japan's Subaru Telescope; the twin 10-meter Keck telescopes, operated by Caltech and the University of California; and NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility. Maui's Haleakala volcano looms in the far background, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) away. As my colleague Phil Plait of the Bad Astronomy blog would say, "Holy Haleakala!"

The view is really worth exclaiming about when you see it in 3-D. If you can't make your way to Mauna Kea just now and see it in person, put on some red-blue glasses to look into the sky's depths. If you're in the market for 3-D spectacles, check out this list of online vendors. You can also keep an eye on the Cosmic Log Facebook page for our next 3-D glasses giveaway, and use your specs to see all the cosmic 3-D pictures we've pointed to over the past decade.

Here's to a delightful year of discoveries from Mauna Kea and the rest of the world's great telescopes.

Frost & Sullivan: ASEAN's Aerospace, Defense and Maritime Industries Set for High Growth between 2013 to 2015

Posted on by

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The commercial aerospace, defense and maritime industries are set for high growth over the next few years in the ASEAN region. Increasing economic development, rising demand for travel and trade in the region have especially been driving the need for the region to strengthen its air and sea transport infrastructure to meet up with these demands.

HW LIMA together with knowledge partner Frost & Sullivan plans to address new market opportunities and shed insights on the future of Aerospace, Defense and Maritime Industries at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) Exhibition, happening in March 2013.

"LIMA has been getting a lot of enquiries from new to market companies, which we attribute to the importance of the Asian market vis-a-vis what is currently happening in Europe and the United States. We have partnered with Frost & Sullivan with the aim to continue driving growth by delivering more to our participants. Our new tag-line 'Delivering Asian Markets' encompasses our overall strategy to provide an effective and relevant platform in a region widely considered to be the world's leading growth area for aerospace and maritime," said Mr. Ahmad Dzuhri Wahab, Managing Director of HW LIMA Exhibitions.

On the commercial aviation front, the introduction of LCCs and airport developments in the region are expected to drive growth of this industry in the near future. According to Frost & Sullivan, passenger traffic across airports in the five major ASEAN countries of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand, is expected to reach close to 318 million passengers by 2017.

Growth of maritime is expected to be driven by increasing port development in countries such as Singapore and Malaysia in efforts to increase their traffic handling capacities. The total sea freight traffic handled in this region is expected to reach 2.52 billion tonnes by 2017.

On the defense front, the acquisition of UAVs, armoured vehicles, ships and aircraft will drive defense procurement spending in the near future. A lot of this increased spending is being driven by the rising geopolitical instability in the region and the need for replacement of obsolete military equipment. Defense spending in the ASEAN region is expected to grow at a CAGR of close to 10% during 2012 to 2020, reaching more than US$61 billion by 2020.

"Overall, 2012 to 2020 is expected to be a period of opening up of many growth opportunities for the aerospace, defense and maritime industries in ASEAN region in the near future. The implementation of several governmental reforms such as the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and open skies agreements among ASEAN countries is expected to drive growth of these industries in the region," said Mr. Neil Dave, Consulting Analyst of Aerospace & Defense at Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific.

The Langkawi International Maritimeand Aerospace (LIMA) Exhibition,from 26 to30 March 2013,is fast becoming a must attend show for Asia. LIMA is a biennial event that gathers the world's leading maritime and aerospace companies in a week of high impact business and networking activities with special aerobatic and ship displays as highlights.

The exhibition will introduce a number of key new programmes, foremost being the ASEAN Aviation Best Practices Awards, The LIMA '13 Shipbuilding and Ship repair conference and the ASEAN Aviation Conference designed at boosting LIMA's global profile and increase participation.

Registration and booking of space for LIMA'13 is now open and more information on the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2013 can be found at http://www.lima.com.my.

Energy Drinks Disrupt Women’ Physiology – An Alternative Solution for Tired Women

Posted on by

Caffeine crammed energy drinks produce adrenaline and exacerbate the hormonal rollercoaster both the bane of most women. New research and GungHo Focus Supplement may provide the smooth focus, energy and mood enhancement women desire.

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) December 31, 2012

85% of energy drinks and shots are consumed by men according to a study by Mintel. Yet busy women crave energy and alertness even more than most men. So why don't energy products cut it for the ladies?

Dr. Dan Mowry has studied female physiology for twenty years. He suggests, pre-menopausal women typically fight a continual battle to keep their emotional impulses on a level plain. The last thing such women want to consume is straight caffeine! Caffeine is the only active ingredient shown to be effective in these energy products. Thus they stimulate just one aspect of the central nervous system the sympathetic division. This helps the body produce adrenaline fine for men but the bane of most women, and anathema to persons undergoing PMS. This jolt to a ladys physiology exacerbates her hormonal rollercoaster. What women need, said Mowry, is a product that would deliver, enough caffeine to provide short-term alertness, but balanced to stimulate the cognitive side of her brain also so as to not disrupt an already overwrought emotional sensibility.

Smoother, Focused Lift For Women - New Research

A new focus supplement GungHo could be the solution women are seeking. Said Dr. Perry Renshaw, former Harvard professor, Director at the Brain Institute and renowned brain health scientist: GungHo is the only energy shot or drink that contains natural ingredients at proven effective doses to improve focus and concentration. Unlike other energy products that deal with short-term energy and no lasting impact on brain energy, GungHo will actually increase levels of critical neurotransmitters in the brain over time.

A core ingredient - Cognizin Citicoline - has been recently shown (2012 McGlade) to increase focus (performance in attentional tasks) among healthy women, at a dose of 250 mg per day - the effective amount found in every GungHo shot.

What about the jitters and crash? GungHo should offer more balance. Caffeine will provide short-term alertness but the cognitive elements in GungHo should also produce mood enhancing dopamine, serotonin and endorphins (commonly called the happy hormone), says Mowry.

GungHo patent-pending formula contains four calories, no sugar or carbonation and claims to be a mild appetite suppressant.

Sandy Wilson, mother of three, says, GungHo gives me the lift I need when Im tired. I think more clearly, forget less and don't get so cranky. I tried other energy drinks but the caffeine crash depressed me.
