Vancouver most livable cities-unit 8

Vancouver has been ranked the best place to live in the world for the fifth year in a row in a survey by the Economist magazine, while Toronto took fifth place out of 132 cities.

The two Canadian cities rank among the top five because they have low crime rates, little threat from instability or terrorism, and a highly developed transport and communications infrastructure, says the survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

Vancouver scored a livability index of 1.3 per cent, with zero indicating exceptional quality of living and 100 indicating life there is intolerable or severely restricted.

A good transportation system helped Vancouver top the Economist's list of the world's most livable cities, again.
(Charlie Cho/CBC)

Toronto's livability index was 3.0.

Australia also fared well in the survey, securing four spots among the top 10 cities.

Algiers came in at the bottom of the ranking. Nine cities, including Algiers, present the worst-case scenario in which most aspects of living quality are severely restricted, according to the survey.

The EIU's livability ranking is part of the magazine's Worldwide Cost of Living Survey.

The survey considered 40 individual factors in categories such as stability, health care, culture, environment, education and infrastructure.

Tropical cyclone-unit 3

"Hurricane" redirects here. For other uses, see Hurricane (disambiguation).

A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone feeds on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.

The term "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in Maritime Tropical air masses. The term "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on their location and strength, tropical cyclones are referred to by other names, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression and simply cyclone.

LET THIS TRUES STORY SERVE AS A WARNING

LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING

To the men : warn your loved ones!
To the women : remember this!

About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega Mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women.

The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat. A nice man dressed in business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said,

'I notice you're changing a flat tire. Would you like me to take care of it for you?'

The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off.

The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car. She was a little surprised and asked him why his car was on the other side. He explained that he had met an old friend in the mall whom he hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat and visited for a while; he got turned around in the mall and left through the wrong exit, and now he was running late and his car was clear around on the other side of the mall.

The woman hated to tell him 'no' because he had just rescued her from having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt uneasy. Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for the ride to his car.

She told him that she'd be happy to drive him to his car, but she just remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she would only be a few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she would be as quick as she could be. She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard what had happened; the guard came out to her car with her, but the man had left.

They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct tape and knives.

When the police checked her 'flat' tire, there was nothing wrong with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the man's motive was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in advance.

The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would have been had she waited in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat. Or if she'd gone against her judgment and given him a lift.


PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!

My holiday in Malacca

During the shool holiday, on 24th May 2008, my husband and I have brought our children to Malacca since it has a lot of historical and interesting places to visit.

It was the third times we were there. We went to Malacca because it is not too far from Kajang where we are staying. Our children also request to go to ' Zoo Malacca' because it has been a long time they never go to zoo other than ' Zoo Negara' in Kuala Lumpur.

Our children were very excited when we got there because they can walk around and see many animals in the zoo. We also took a train provided in the zoo to go from one place to another places to see animals and their natural enviroment.

There was also an animals exhibition held in the zoo. We saw how animals such as the parrot coleect rubbish and balls and put in the basket. We also took a picture with orang utan.

We felt very satisfied because our children were very happy since their request has been fulfilled.

About 3.00 o,clock in the evening, we went to the historical places in the city of Malacca such as A Famosa Monument. We also ate rice at there. We took a tricycle which was beautifully decorated to go around the city. After that, we bought some souvenirs for our memories and for my love families in Kelantan.

Then after 2 hour later, we went back to our home in Kajang. Our children were very tired and asleep in the car along the journey.

Actually, we like to have a holiday by visiting the intersting places in our country. Is is our hope that one day , we would be able to go to visit Sabah and Sarawak. Bye.....

The People and The Enviroment

Today, I would like to share about West Africa and people in there. I like to know more about Africa. it is very interting to me.

In West Africa, seosanably day weather prevailed over the Sahel and the Gulf of Guinea region. Temperature departures averaged 1-4 degrees C above normal over western Sahel from western Mali into Senegal. It 1 to 3 degrees C below normal from eastern Mali into Nigeria.

West Africa is oriented west of an imagined north-south axis lying close to 10° east longitude. The Atlantic Ocean forms the western and southern borders of the region. The northern border is the Sahara Desert, with the Niger Bend generally considered the northernmost part of the region.

The eastern border is less precise, with some placing it at the Benue Trough, and others on a line running from Mount Cameroon to Lake Chad. Colonial boundaries are reflected in the modern boundaries between contemporary West African nations, cutting across ethnic and cultural lines, often dividing single ethnic groups between two or more countries.

West Africa occupies an area in excess of 6,140,000 km², or approximately one-fifth of Africa. The vast majority of this land is plains lying less than 300 meters above sea level, though isolated high points exist in numerous countries along the southern shore of the region.

The northern section of West Africa is composed of semi-arid terrain known as Sahel, a transitional zone between the Sahara desert and the savannahs of the western Sudan forests form a third belt between the savannas and the southern coast, ranging from 160 km to 240 km in width.

Islam is the predominant historical religion of the West African interior and the far west coast of the continent; Christianity is the predominant religion in coastal regions of Nigeria, Ghana, and Cote d'Ivoire; and elements of indigenous religions are practiced throughout. Before the decline of the Mali and Songhai Empires there was a sizable group of Jewish communities in areas like Mali, Senegal, Mauritania, and Nigeria.

Today there are small Jewish populations in Ghana, Nigeria and Mali. Along with historic migrations, these religions have culturally linked the peoples of West Africa more than those in other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.

The game Oware is quite popular in many parts of West Africa. Soccer is also a pastime enjoyed by many, either spectating or playing. The national teams of some West African nations, especially Nigeria, Ghana and the Ivory Coast, regularly qualify for the World Cup

MECCA
City in Saudi Arabia with 1.4 million inhabitants (2003 estimate). Mecca is located about 80 km from the Red Sea Coast, around a natural well.
Mecca is the most holy city in Islam. The city is revered from being the first place created on earth, as well as the place where Ibrahim together with his son Isma'il, built the Ka'ba. The Ka'ba, the centre of Islam, is a rectangular building made of bricks. Around the Ka'ba is the great mosque,
al-Haram, and around the mosque, in between the mountains, are the houses that make up Mecca.
Mecca was a central point on the caravan routes running over the Arabian peninsula at the time of Muhammad. Mecca was revered as a holy city even before the first revelations came to Muhammad.
Mecca's importance as a centre of religious teaching must not be exaggerated. Very soon in the beginning of the Muslim expansion, religious teaching moved to other places in the Muslim world. Mecca is important in two points: Centre of the compulsory pilgrimage, and a focal point for
all Muslims.Today, many of the people living in Mecca are pilgrims wanting to study Islam in the very centre of the world. But this learning is primarily aimed at normal people, and even today Muslim theology is exercised other places. But for Saudi Arabia, Mecca is the centre of religious teaching.
Apart from the services for pilgrimage there are only modest economic activities going on. Every year some 2 million pilgrims attend the hajj, and this number is now regulated, where each country can send a fixed number of adherents. The numbers of Muslims coming to Mecca for the umra, the lesser pilgrimage are far less, and not regulated.

Unit 8-Mount Kinabalu

Welcome to the Mount Kinabalu photo gallery. Here you'll find a selection of Mount Kinabalu pictures I took on visits between 2000 and 2003.Mt Kinabalu, which lies in Sabah in northern Borneo, is at 4100 m the highest peak between the Himalayas and Papua New Guinea. Despite its height it is very easy to climb and does not require any special equipment or training. Anybody with sufficient stamina can climb the mountain - during my first climb in 2000 for instance I met a team of Japanese retirees on the peak. The climb begins at the Timpohon gate (1866 m altitude) and climbers usually make it to the Laban Rata resthouse at 3300 m on day one. Most of the climbers leave the next morning between 3am and 4am in order to reach the summit at 6am to experience the spectacular sunrise. It's important not to arrive to early on the summit, to avoid freezing in the cold night waiting for the sunrise.Adapting to the height is not really an issue, because Mt. Kinabalu is not that high (only 4100m - compare that to the Kilimanjaro, which is almost 6000m high) and because the whole climb lasts about 24 hours. Within 24 hours you go up and down.

Tawau Hills National Park
The lush forests of the Tawau Hills in the east coast of Sabah were gazetted as a National Park to protect the natural environment with its unique flora and fauna and to ensure an uninterrupted water supply for the region. Rugged volcanic terrain cover the natural landscape, in sharp contrast to the neatly cultivated plantations of oil palm, cocoa and rubber on the flat coastal plains. It covers an area of 27, 972 hectares.
Lush dipterocarp forest vegetation and lianas cover the lower regions giving way to thick damp mossy forests as the altitude gets higher and temperatures get cooler. The variety of plant life found within the Park include Agathis, Mountain Ru, Tree ferns, different species of orchids and begonia. A particularly interesting specie is the Mengaris tree whose smooth grey trunk makes it particularly difficult to climb. Wild bees protect their precious store of honey from the voracious honey bears, by making their honeycombs high up these trees.
Macaques, creamy white leaf monkeys, giant tree squirrels, civet cats and leopard cats inhabit the park’s dense primary forests. Borneo’s largest wild cat - the clouded leopard, though rarely seen is not uncommon. It preys on smaller mammals such as rats and even bigger wild pigs. Other inhabitants of the harmless kind include 8 different species of hornbills and pheasants and the slow-moving forest tortoise
There are also hotsprings-Mother Nature’s very own spa, where you can ease your tired muscles and weary bones while luxuriating in the therapeutic warmth of the ‘geothermal’ pool. Getting there Tours to Tawau Hills Park depart daily from Tawau. The Lucia Jungle Lodge, built next to the park headquaters, offers simple, inexpensive accommodation in cozy rooms near the southern boundry of the park and amidst several streams. The cafeteria is open all day long but the lodge also offers a kitchenette for it's guests who wish to prepear their own meals.

MALACCA HISTORICAL CITY -by Anggrek Abdullah.

Malacca was founded by a fleeing prince from Sumatra in 14th century, it developed into a major trading port for ships from India and China. As the Melaka Sultanate flourished, the Portuguese conquered Malacca in 1511. Later the Dutch took over in 1641 until much later the British empire ruled Malacca. The state finally obtained independence with the then "Malaya states" in 1957. Today, one will find many remnants of the glorious past dated back more than 500 years ago.

HISTORICAL PLACES

A'Famosa.
After the Portuguese captured Melaka, they built a fortress to defend themselves. The fortress, called A'Famosa suffered severe destruction during the Dutch invasion. What's left today is just the entrance walls, still well preserved till today

Stadthuys
The Stadthuys (1650) was the official residence of the Dutch Governor. It now houses the Historic Museum and Ethnography Museum which has many traditional bridal costumes and relics on display. Nearby, one will also find the Christ Church built in 1753, another fine example of the Dutch architecture

Baba and Nyonya Heritage Museum
'Straits Chinese' or the Baba and Nyonya , are Chinese of noble descendants that have adopted much of the Malay culture into theirs. The public can now review the heirloom unique to this heritage at private museum run by the Babas and Nyonyas of Malacca. Floral and pictorial motifs grace parts of the front of the house whilst the interior is adorned with intricately carved fittings finished in gold leaf.

Hang Tuah's well
Hang Tuah's well is located in Kampung Duyong where Hang Tuah was born and spent his childhood among four of his good friends who would later become the famous warriors of Malacca Sultanate. The well is said to be the abode of his soul which takes the apparition of a white crocodile. For a commoner to catch the glimpse of Hang Tuah is hardly likely. It is said that the holy among us can ever hope to see the apparition.

There are many historical places and interesting side you can visit at Malacca City.

Cities of the world

Kano is a city in Negeria in West Africa.But this city is unlike other cities in the world for all the buildings and houses here are made of mud!.A great wall, twelve miles round, surrounds the city.The people here live like theirs ancestors five hundred years ago.Their mud houses are small and are square or round.Do you know how these people build a mud house?.First they dig up some dry clay soil and add water to it till it become a thick paste.Then they use this mixture to build the roof and walls of the house.After that they leave the house to dry in the sun.Once the house is dried,it is ready to be lived in.Will the houses crumble when it rains?No, because there are pipes on all the houses to lead the rain-water away to the ground.However, it seldom rains in Kano.There are only occasional thunderstorm in May and June.The Streets in Kano are narrow, and there are no lorries or motorcars.Instead you will find thousands of cyclists and some donkeys and camels.Most of the people living in this city own a bicycle each.The busiest place in the city is the market square.Here you will find hawkers selling cloth,carpets,spices,cakes and many other things.On the whole Kano is a busy place and the people here lead a happy life.Would you like to visit this 'Mud City' one day?

Maybe one day he/she will cheat(who know), maybe your enemy becomes your best friend. That's what happened to me....... Who is he/she??????”

Daily routines - Teacher's Stress

Teacher's Stress

Write by : Noor Sharidah binti Hamid

Matric No: A115474

As hypothesized, teacher locus of control was related to teacher stress. The multiple correlations between the combined stress factors and locus of control was significant. Group Instruction made the greatest contribution to this multiple correlation. At the vicariate level, Group Instruction, Professional Inadequacy, and Principal/ Teacher Professional Relationships were related to locus of control. The relationships between locus of control and the stress measures of Job Overload and Collegial Relationships, respectively, were not significant as was true for sex and age. Also, the relationship between locus of control and a linear combination of the five stress variables was not moderated by sex and age. A consideration of the behavioral indicators of locus of control on the Teacher Locus of Control Scale and the behaviors associated with each of the stress factors on the Teacher Occupational Stress Factor Questionnaire make these results more meaningful. The teacher locus of control measure was based upon seven behavioral manifestations thought to be indicative of the construct. These seven behavioral indicators of an internal locus of control follow. (The statements become descriptions of an external locus of control orientation when the verbs in parentheses are substituted.)
In short, the internal teacher, realizing that he/she is influential in the classroom, accepts the responsibility for his/her actions and works hard to achieve educational goals. The external teacher, on the other hand, feeling that he/she has little control over what happens, does not seem to value planning, ability, or effort but instead at- tributes educational outcomes to luck, fate, and chance.
Teachers in this study for whom group instruction was not stressful seemed to feel that they had adequate control of their students. They planned and organized a wide range of learning activities and felt that their students profited from their teaching.
Teachers who felt professionally adequate did not find discipline problems overly stressful nor did they have trouble motivating the unmotivated. Working with parents did not seem to bother them nor did the salary they received for their work.
Teachers whose relationships with their principals were not stressful felt supported and valued by their principals who gave them authority to carry out their responsibilities. These principals had insight into classroom problems and could be talked to openly about school-related matters. In short, those teachers experiencing the least stress were those who felt that they were professionally capable of helping their students learn and they had been given the responsibility of doing so. They were teachers with an internal locus of control

ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Assalamualaikum wbt. Istanbul is the beautiful cities and full of histories that I like to go if I have a chance. This article have full of information about Istanbul, so let’s we all read about this interesting Istanbul.

Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is Europe's most populous city (the world's 4th largest city proper and 20th largest urban area) and Turkey's cultural and financial center. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province. It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.

The city has also been nicknamed "The City on Seven Hills" because the historic peninsula, the oldest part of the city, was built on seven hills (just like Rome), each of which bears a historic mosque. The hills are represented in the city's emblem with seven triangles, above which rise four minarets. Two of many other old nicknames of Istanbul are Vasilevousa Polis (the Queen of Cities), which rose from the city's importance and wealth throughout the Middle Ages; and Dersaadet, originally Der-i Saadet (the Door to Happiness) which was first used towards the end of 19th century and is still remembered today. With the Turkish Postal Service Law of March 28, 1930, the Turkish authorities officially requested foreigners to adopt Istanbul as the sole name also in their own languages.


Hagia Sophia
The early Byzantine architecture followed the classical Roman model of domes and arches, but further improved these architectural concepts, as evidenced with the Hagia Sophia, which is the largest structure on Sultanahmet Square in the Eminönü district. The Hagia Sophia was designed by Isidorus and Anthemius as the third church to rise on this location, between 532 and 537, following the Nika riots (532) during which the second church was destroyed (the first church, known as the Megala Ekklessia ("Great Church") was inaugurated by Constantius II in 360; the second church was inaugurated by Theodosius II in 405, while the third and current one was inaugurated by Justinian in 537). The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (commonly known as the Little Hagia Sophia), which was the first church built by Justinian in Constantinople and edificed between 527 and 536, had earlier signaled such an improvement in the design of domed buildings, which require complex solutions for carrying the structure. The present-day Hagia Irene (which was originally built by Constantine in the 4th century, but was later enlarged by Justinian in the 6th century) and the Basilica Cistern are also from this period.


Galata Tower
The most important churches which were built after the Byzantines recovered Constantinople from the Latin Crusaders in 1261 include the Pammakaristos Church and Chora Church. Also in this period, the Genoese Podestà of Galata, Montano de Marinis, built the Palazzo del Comune (1314), a copy of the San Giorgio Palace in Genoa, which still stands in ruins on the back streets of Bankalar Caddesi in Galata, together with its adjacent buildings and numerous Genoese houses from the early 1300s. The Genoese also built the Galata Tower, which they named as Christea Turris (Tower of Christ), at the highest point of the citadel of Galata, in 1348.

Topkapı Palace

Following the Ottoman conquest of the city, Sultan Mehmed II initiated a wide scale reconstruction plan, which included the construction of grand buildings such as the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, Fatih Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Grand Bazaar and the Yedikule (Seven Towers) Castle which guarded the main entrance gate of the city, the Porta Aurea (Golden Gate). In the centuries following Mehmed II, many new important buildings, such as the Süleymaniye Mosque, Sultanahmet Mosque, Yeni Mosque and numerous others were constructed. In the 18th and 19th centuries, traditional Ottoman architectural styles were gradually replaced by European styles, such as the Baroque style interiors of the Aynalıkavak Palace (1677–1679) and Nuruosmaniye Mosque (1748–1755, the first Baroque style mosque in the city, also famous for its Baroque fountain), and the 18th century Baroque additions to the Harem section of the Topkapı Palace. Following the Tanzimat reforms which effectively started Turkey's Europeanization process in 1839, new palaces and mosques were built in Neoclassical, Baroque and Rococo styles, or a mixture of all three, such as the Dolmabahçe Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and Ortaköy (Mecidiye) Mosque.



Sultan Ahmed Mosque
Many other imperial mosques were built in the following centuries, such as the famous Süleymaniye Mosque (1557) which was ordered by Suleiman the Magnificent and designed by the great Ottoman architect Sinan, and the famous Sultan Ahmet Mosque (1616) which is also known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles which adorn its interior.

So how you think? Istanbul is the great city to visit…yeah maybe someday we all can go there…..InsyaALLAH.
Ok, that’s all….bye

My story: Teluk Intan, Perak.

Hai there!!
Meet me again....Today I want to tell you a story of my lovely city...Teluk Intan

Teluk Intan is a town located in the state of Perak in Malaysia. It is the largest town in Hilir Perak district and third largest town in the state of Perak with an estimated population of around 110,000. In the early days, the town was known as Teluk Mak Intan, after a female Mandailing trader. It was here that the Perak rulers held court from 1528 until Kuala Kangsar became the royal town in 1877 .
During the British protectorate era, the named was changed to Teluk Anson (Anson Bay), in honour of a British Officer and last Lieutenant-Governor of Penang, Major-General Sir Archibald Edward Harbord Anson who drew the plan of the modern township in 1882. In 1982 during the centenary of the town's establishment, the name was changed again to Teluk Intan (Diamond Bay) by the Sultan of Perak. The town has a number of colonial buildings and Chinese shophouses together with modern buildings and a few shopping complexes.

Places of interest


Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan
One of the town attractions is a Leaning Tower erected in 1885 by a Chinese builder, Mr. Leong Choon Cheong. It started to tilt four years after its construction finished due to an underground stream. The tower had a clock at the top, and still rings every 15 minutes now. The clock tower was originally used as a water tower, supplying water to the town area, while also reporting the time to all townfolks. It had also served as a beacon to guide ships into Teluk Intan Port. Currently it is a local tourist attraction, and no longer stores water. The area around the tower was paved with bricks and became a plaza. The main street at the centre of Teluk Intan is also named after Mr. Leong Choon Cheong to commemorate his contribution. The name of the street is "Jalan Ah Cheong"

Batu Tenggek (War Memorial)



Memorial Stone
Another attraction is the 'Batu Tenggek' (Sitting Boulder) which is situated at a junction in the town centre. The rock was believed to be placed by a British soldier and was a size of a matchbox. Over the years, the small rock grew bigger until it reached the size of a boulder. This boulder is now part of a local war memorial built to commemorate World War I and World War II.

Ok ,that’s all....if you want to visit Teluk Intan just find me...ok,bye.
