In English, whenever we have an obligation, we usually tell someone that we must do something, . That’s an easy way to say it like example “I must go now”. Short, direct and easy to understand. But in Japanese, it takes a different approach. More like turning the tables around instead. Let’s find out. Learn how [...]

It is a good thing Zimbabwe is a land-locked country. Last week, a Chinese tanker choc-full of arms arrived at a South African port in Durban, its cargo bound for Zimbabwe. South African officials refused it permission to unload and deliver the arms, and after four days at dock it was instructed to move on. The ship then made its way to Mozambique, another of Zimbabwe's neighbors, which turned it away as well. Following speculation the ship was going to try to unload in Angola (also neighboring Zimbabwe, and an ally of the Mugabe government) the BBC reports this morning that it may now be headed back to China: Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said the weapons were ordered last year and were "perfectly normal". But she said the ship's owners were considering bringing the ship b

A New York City jury convicted the stepfather of 7-year-old Nixzmary Brown of manslaughter in the 2006 beating death of the little girl that shocked the city. “The jurors were unanimous in seeing Ms. Santiago (Nixzmary’s mother) as the greater villain because a mother has a higher obligation to protect her children than a father does.”

Bible Lessons:Is it the Christian's obligation to pray for sinners?Bible Answer:Yes.I Timothy 2:1,3,4 KJV[1] I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;[4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.Note:(Does God "elect," some to be save and others lost?of course not!)Isaiah 61:1 KJVThe Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;One way we as Christian people can do this is through the avenue of prayer!We'd accomp

Being a man of a certain age I am not ashamed to say that I have loved a great many women in my life; a few of them even loved me back. And every single time it has been different. 'I love you' is such an easy thing to say, but a hard thing to communicate. Saying it is never enough. It feels as if it should be because it is often hard to reach the point where you have the nerve to mumble those three little words. And, at first, we manage to cram everything we feel into those words, we love hearing them and we love saying them. We make the words our own. It doesn't matter that other people have been whispering them to each other for yonks; no one else grasps their significance like we do. Eventually, though, we start to rummage around for other ways to express that love, trinkets, cards, fl

When you’re being harassed and subjected to a hostile work environment, part of what happens is that you often feel isolated and you have fears (rational and irrational) that no one will believe the severity of the harm that you’re being subjected to at work. You feel like you have a bulls-eye on your back and you may feel like there’s nothing you can do to stop being a target. In fact, you may feel that reporting the harassment will do more harm that good.Let’s face it. Many people, regardless of race, are afraid to report sensitive issues to a supervisor, manager, director or a member of Human Resources. People are afraid to look like a whiner, a troublemaker or, when it comes to race, a race-baiter.When it comes to harassment in the workplace, it would be great if you would report the harassment to your supervisor. However, if you supervisor is the problem, you do not have to stay within your chain of command in order to deal with the problem. You have the right to speak to

One of the money saving tips that I love using is getting freebies. If the freebies are useful to me, I will not hesitate to claim them. Saving a few bucks here and there does add up in the long run.

Well well well… Today is Friday and it is time for me dish out my Friday Special weekly segment again. :-)All right, let’s talk about ‘solat’ or prayer today. Every Muslims knew that ‘solat’ or prayer is the Second Pillar of Islam but how obligated are we in performing them in daily basis? Be honest with yourself, how obligated are you?“Ignorant Malaysian Malays (Melayu) hate to miss a single minute of any reality TV shows such as Akademi Fantasia (fully packed with Sins!) but yet they have the tendency to purposely miss their obligatory daily prayers for no apparent reasons!”“Ignorant Malaysian Malays would do their best to be on time to meet their beloved sweethearts on dates (simply Sinful!) but yet they have the tendency to delay their obligatory daily prayers to their very last minutes!”“Ignorant Malaysian Malays hate to miss their buses, Putra LRT and KTM commuter trains in their morning rush hours.
