Rekod dunia baru iringi Neymar ke PSG

Kelab Perancis dijangka bayar Barca $356j bagi pemain Brazil

Aug 04, 2017 | 05:30 AM

PARIS: Superstar Brazil, Neymar, dijangka diperkenalkan secara rasmi sebagai bintang terbaru Paris Saint-Germain (SPG) seawal esok, selepas kelabnya, Barcelona, akur kalah dalam usaha meyakinkan pemain itu supaya kekal di Sepanyol.

Pemindahan itu - yang mencipta rekod dunia baru sebanyak 222 juta euro ($356 juta), iaitu lebih seganda berbanding rekod dunia lama yang dibayar Manchester Uniter untuk mendapatkan Paul Pogba daripada Juventus tahun lalu (105.2 juta euro) - akan menyaksikan Neymar dibayar gaji 865,000 euro seminggu.

Neymar transfers worth £200m plus 

Premier League chief Richard Scudamore does not expect to see any transfers in English football matching the £200m world record fee paid by Paris St Germain to sign Neymar from Barcelona.

Scudamore regards the move that made Neymar the most expensive footballer of all time last week as a demonstration of spending power by the Ligue 1 club's Qatari owners that is unlikely to be repeated on the same scale.

'I can't see anything like that (in the Premier League),' Scudamore told BBC Radio 5 live. 'When the previous record was £89million (Paul Pogba), to suddenly go to £200million that's something else going on there.

Jonah Lomu Dies at 40

Lomu, who revolutionized rugby with size, speed, dies at 40

By STEVE McMORRAN (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press – Wed, Nov 18, 2015

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- Jonah Lomu, who bulldozed opponents with his size and blistering speed only to be felled by a kidney illness that extinguished his meteoric All Blacks career, died suddenly at his home in Auckland. He was 40.

Nadene Lomu, the wife and manager of the rugby great, confirmed Lomu's death in a statement Wednesday. Lomu had struggled with a kidney illness for 20 years but former All Blacks doctor and family friend John Mayhew said the cause of death was cardiac arrest.

''It is with great sadness that I must announce my dear husband Jonah Lomu died (overnight),'' Nadene Lomu said. ''This is a devastating loss for our family and may I ask that our privacy, especially the privacy of our two very young boys, be respected as we take them through this traumatic time.''

New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew said ''Jonah was a legend of our game and loved by his many fans both here and around the world.''

The son of immigrants from Tonga, innately humble off the pitch, was at his devastating best at the 1995 and 1999 World Cups, scoring 15 tries in 11 games but never winning the trophy.

The stabbing death of a friend steered Lomu away from street gangs in the blue-collar suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, where he grew up.

Rugby gave him new direction. He channeled anger he felt about his father into the sport. Aged just 19 for the first of his 63 tests, he was a physical colossus for a winger - 1.96 meters tall (6-foot-4); 119 kilograms (262 pounds) - and quite terrifying when pounding through defensive lines at speed.

Nephrotic syndrome, a degenerative kidney illness, curtailed his career at his peak. Lomu tried making a comeback after a 2004 transplant but was forced to abandon hopes of playing the 2007 World Cup. He played his last match in 2006.

At the height of his career, Lomu had the ear of Nelson Mandela, charmed Hollywood comedian Robin Williams - who wore an All Blacks cap and called him ''mate'' - and visited parliaments and palaces.

His father, Semisi Lomu, was a factory worker, devoutly religious and a harsh disciplinarian. His mother, Hepi, held together the family living on a shoestring and acted as a buffer between father and son.

''At times he was the best dad that he could be,'' Lomu said in a 2013 interview. ''It was just when he drank, that's when me and him disagreed. He was quite violent when he was drunk.

''Mum was always there to protect the kids. And when Dad got angry and wanted to bash us, she would get in the way. It builds up a lot of things inside of me.''

At age 1, Lomu was sent to Tonga to be raised by an aunt who, for the next five years, he thought of as his mother. On return to New Zealand, Lomu rebelled against the strict father, leading to their eventual estrangement, and gravitated toward the streets.

''It made me battle-hardened for rugby,'' he said. ''When I was playing, when I found it hard, I just thought of my father and that got me through it. That anger got me through it.''

After the death of his friend, Lomu found new direction at Auckland's Wesley College, a famous nursery of Polynesia rugby talent. There, he first showed the devastating combination of size fused with speed. Playing out on the wing, with time and space to hit his stride, he crashed through or cruised around opponents.

He played for New Zealand's under-19 team and starred in rugby sevens before his international debut in June 1994 as the youngest ever All Black, aged 19 years, 45 days. He became a formidable scoring weapon after mastering the technique of test rugby, scoring 37 test tries.

Selected late to the All Blacks squad after an injury to John Timu, Lomu burst to international fame at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa. He scored seven tries in five matches, including four in a rampaging semifinal win over England.

But by then he also knew he was sick. He missed tests against South Africa in 1996 and almost all of the 1997 season.

In 1998, he won a rugby sevens gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. At the 1999 World Cup, he scored eight tries in six games, including two in New Zealand's semifinal loss to France.

Lomu remained an All Black until 2002, but his health faded. He required dialysis three times a week. After his kidney transplant, he played with New Zealand's North Harbour province and, with moderate success, for the Cardiff Blues in Wales.

''I was hoping that it would get better but it never did,'' he said. ''But, you know, I would never change anything.''

Medical grads quit as doctors due to poor English proficiency, says report

The Malaysian Insider – Mon, Nov 9, 2015

Some 1,000 medical graduates have stopped becoming doctors, with their poor command of English being a main factor, The Star reported.

Quoting the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) Malacca chapter president Dr M. Nachiappan, the daily said medical graduates were also unable to cope with other job pressures.

“Despite having completed their housemanship last year, they are no longer keen to be doctors.

“The main reason was poor grasp of English. This is not good for the medical fraternity and does not augur well for the nation if stakeholders do not execute some plans to improve the standard of English,” he was quoted as saying.

Other factors include lack of interest in basic medical training, poor communication skills with patients and frustration over working conditions.

Expressing worry, Dr Nachiappan said lack of English proficiency will handicap Malaysian medical students from keeping up with their counterparts from other countries.

“There must be an urgency to improve the grasp of the language at the primary level. Otherwise, the quality of doctors will go downhill,” the Malacca Manipal Medical College deputy dean told The Star.

Medical schools were also having difficulty producing medical graduates due to poor command of English, he said.

“The quality of our students is compromised due to their inabilities to communicate in English,” the report quoted him as saying, adding that most reference books on medicine as well as lectures were delivered in English.

The Malaysian Insider had reported in June last year that employers were becoming increasingly dismayed by Malaysia's "generation Y" job seekers, due to their poor command of the English language and communication skills.

A survey by the Malaysian Employers Federation a few years ago found that 60% of them identified low English proficiency as the main problem with young recruits.

A similar survey conducted in September 2013 by online recruitment agency JobStreet.com found that 55% of participating senior managers and companies said poor command of the English language was the main reason for unemployment among undergraduates.

School leavers might have SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) English grades of A and B, but could not even hold a conversation in English, MEF executive director Datuk Shamsudin Bardan had told The Malaysian Insider. – November 9, 2015.

MANDI MALAM: BAIK ATAU BURUK ?!

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2012&dt=0115&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Kesihatan&pg=kn_01.htm

Mandi Malam

Oleh Zulkiple Ibrahim

ADAKAH ia satu mitos tentang mandi pada waktu malam boleh mendatangkan kemudaratan pada kesihatan? Ramai kalangan masyarakat Malaysia mengatakan amalan sebegini boleh mendatangkan pelbagai masalah kesihatan.

Adakah benar persepsi tentang tabiat mandi pada waktu malam boleh mendatangkan penyakit kronik? Apa kata pakar dalam penjagaan kesihatan tentang isu ini?

Dr. Anies Tan, seorang doktor perubatan di hospital swasta menjelaskan kajian menunjukkan yang mandi bukan sahaja boleh membersihkan badan daripada kotoran tetapi juga boleh menghilangkan stres.

Katanya, mandi memainkan peranan penting dalam mempertingkat sistem imun badan selain mengelak berlakunya penyakit kulit seperti ekzema dan masalah kesihatan lain. "Kebanyakan penyakit kronik antaranya diabetes, hipertensi, kegagalan buah pinggang dan masalah kardiovaskular muncul daripada kegagalan sistem dalam badan, cara pemakanan dan gaya hidup kita.

"Tiada bukti yang mengatakan mandi pada waktu malam boleh mendatangkan penyakit-penyakit ini," kata beliau.

Menurut Dr. Tan, air mandian suam boleh membuka liang-liang roma badan dan membantu menghilangkan toksin. "Mandi dengan air hangat boleh mengurangkan sakit otot dan membantu usus berfungsi dengan baik. 

Tetapi bagaimana dengan isu mandi pada waktu malam? Kata Dr. Tan, negara ini mempunyai iklim tropika di mana cuacanya adalah panas dan lembab dan oleh itu mandi malam tidak mendatangkan kemudaratan.

** "Lainlah kalau anda menghidapi pneumonia dan tinggal di negara yang mempunyai iklim musim sejuk. Mandi malam adalah baik kerana ia membersihkan badan daripada bakteria dan virus.

"Amalan mandi adalah penting bagi gaya hidup sihat. Di hospital juga, pesakit yang boleh berjalan dan boleh mandi, memang kami galakkan mandi". Kata beliau, kegagalan mandi yang secukupnya boleh mendatangkan penyakit kulit dan juga bau badan.

"Bakteria boleh bertindak pada peluh dan ini membangkitkan bau badan," katanya sambil menambah bahawa kesegaran mandi membuatkan badan lebih sihat, selain membersihkan bakteria daripada permukaan kulit.

"Pembersihan kulit berlaku bila kita mandi. Lebih baik lagi jika kita menggunakan sabun antibakteria," katanya dan menerangkan prinsip yang sama pada amalan membasuh tangan.

"Ia satu amalan kebersihan yang baik bila kita kerap basuh tangan terutama sebelum makan, sama juga bila kita mandi walaupun pada waktu malam," kata beliau.

Ekzema: 

Ekzema adalah penyakit kulit kronik yang menyebabkan kulit menjadi kering, senang mengalami iritasi dan kegatalan. Tiada ubat bagi masalah ini tetapi penjagaan kulit yang baik membantu mengawalnya.

"Bila kulit anda kering, ia bukannya kurang minyak tetapi kurang mengandungi air. Untuk itu, penjagaan kulit harian yang baik serta fokus pada mandi dan penggunaan pelembab diperlukan," terang Dr. Tan.

Katanya, rawatan bagi kulit yang kering adalah dengan membuatkan kulit mengandungi air dan cara yang terbaik dengan berendam ketika mandi dan menggunakan losyen pelembab selepas itu. "Tujuan mandi dan memakai pelembab adalah untuk memulihkan kulit kering. Bagi tujuan ini, kita perlu kurangkan kehilangan air daripada kulit.

"Pakar dermatologi (kulit) mengesyorkan mereka yang ada masalah ini supaya mandi dan menggunakan pelembab pada waktu malam. Kulit anda tidak mungkin kering semasa anda tidur, jadi air lebih senang meresap ke dalam kulit," terangnya.

** Nota: Kini ada ubat bagi mengatasi kulit kering, pergi saja ke farmasi dan tanya jurujual terlatih, atau berjumpa dengan doktor kulit, insyaAllah dia akan beri ubat krim utk disapu pada kulit bermasalah itu.  

Jadual kerja ketat: 

Ada juga ramai yang tidak punya masa untuk mandi secukupnya kerana jadual kerja yang agak ketat. Ada juga yang bermasalah bila berjauhan dari rumah dan tidak sesuai dengan tempat di mana mereka berada.

Pengamal perubatan, Hassan Saidin menerangkan jadual kerja yang ketat menyebabkan ramai ahli perniagaan serta peniaga enggan mandi secukupnya.

Ramai peniaga perlu keluar berniaga pada awal-awal pagi lagi dan hanya pulang ke rumah pada lewat malam. Ini menyebabkan mereka malas mandi kerana menyimpan tenaga untuk aktiviti perniagaan pada esoknya.

"Gagal mandi adalah tidak baik bagi kesihatan dan ini boleh mengundang pelbagai penyakit yang mengganggu kehidupan kita. Ia juga boleh mengganggu keyakinan dan produktiviti kita," kata beliau.

Tetapi kenapa orang tua-tua mengatakan mandi malam tidak baik? "Nasihat sebegitu mungkin tidak berapa boleh dipakai lagi pada masa kini. Mungkin pada dekad-dekad yang lampau masyarakat masih belum maju dan kebanyakan rumah tidak punya saluran bekalan air paip.

"Satu masa dulu, ramai yang tinggal di luar bandar serta menggunakan perigi dan sungai untuk mandi. Untuk pergi ke perigi dan sungai pada waktu malam tanpa cahaya lampu dan suasana gelap gelita mungkin mengundang pelbagai bahaya seperti binatang berbisa dan juga bahaya di sungai, sebab itulah mungkin orang tua melarang kita daripada mandi waktu malam.

"Kini kita semakin maju dan mempunyai kemudahan yang jauh lebih baik. Bagi mereka yang pulang malam, eloklah bersihkan badan terlebih dahulu sebelum ke tempat tidur," kata beliau.

Pemulihan badan:

Menurut Hassan, mandi adalah kaedah baik bagi merehatkan otot badan. "Setelah bekerja sehari suntuk, otak dan badan anda perlukan rehat. Mandi pada malam hari (sebelum tidur) boleh membantu mengembalikan ketahanan fizikal dan emosi.

"Terdapat banyak salah faham tentang isu mandi di waktu malam kerana ramai orang berpendapat ia lebih banyak mudarat daripada kebaikan termasuk mendatangkan penyakit," katanya. Jadi, adakah mandi malam sememangnya satu amalan tidak sihat?

Kata Hassan: "Sudah tentu tidak. Ia bukan memudaratkan bagi orang yang sihat". Menurut Hassan, mandi menggunakan air hangat (air suam) akan membuka liang roma dan membersihkan badan dengan mengeluarkan toksin dan memberikan kesan yang segar kepada seseorang itu.

"Mandi juga membuatkan anda dapat tidur dengan lena dan membantu mengurangkan insomnia (susah untuk tidur)," tambah beliau. Menurut pengamal homeopati itu lagi, mandi adalah satu amalan semula jadi bagi memberi regangan kepada minda dan badan.

Seseorang itu bukan hanya dapat tidur lena tetapi juga tidur dengan lebih lama jika beliau mandi sebelum tidur.

Wanita memuaskan diri dengan berbelanja ribuan ringgit untuk kosmetik!

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2011&dt=1227&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=mh_04.htm

(27 Dec 2011) 

Wanita memuaskan diri dengan berbelanja ribuan ringgit untuk kosmetik

KUALA LUMPUR 26 Dis. – Langkah golongan wanita berbelanja beribu-ribu untuk membeli barangan kosmetik dianggap sebagai terapi baru menghilangkan tekanan dan memuaskan diri.

Sehubungan itu, Pengerusi Majlis Lembaga Akademi Keusahawanan Islam Alfafa, Datin Reny Rahayu Mohd. Ishak menolak andaian bahawa perbuatan menghias diri oleh golongan berkenaan bertujuan menarik perhatian orang. “Kebanyakan wanita yang bersikap demikian sebenarnya mahu memberi ganjaran dan memuaskan diri mereka selain menjadikan ia sebagai terapi bagi menghilangkan tekanan.

“Selain itu, kecantikan itu turut membantu meningkatkan keyakinan diri mereka kerana wanita zaman kini kebanyakannya mempunyai kerjaya dan sering berhadapan dengan orang ramai,” katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, hari ini.

Beliau diminta mengulas laporan mengenai wanita Malaysia yang dikatakan sanggup berhabis sehingga RM2,000 sebulan semata-mata untuk membeli produk kosmetik pelbagai jenama yang terdapat di pasaran.

Sementara itu, Ketua Konsultan Syarikat K&A Applied Psychology Consultancy, Khairol Anuar Masuan berkata, menurut kajian, majoriti golongan wanita beranggapan mereka hanya akan kelihatan cantik jika mereka menggunakan peralatan solekan yang mahal.

“Golongan yang obses terhadap kecantikan selalunya tidak akan berfikir panjang apabila berbelanja sehingga ada yang sanggup berhutang semata-mata mahu membeli keperluan kosmetik jenama antarabangsa.

“Mereka juga sanggup menggunakan kaedah yang bahaya dengan melakukan pembedahan dan suntikan bagi mengubah diri mereka walaupun mengetahui tindakan itu boleh memudaratkan kesihatan hingga menyebabkan kematian,” katanya.

Dalam pada itu, Yang Dipertua Persatuan Siswazah Wanita Malaysia, Fauziah Mohd. Ramly berkata, golongan wanita perlu bijak menterjemahkan erti kecantikan dengan lebih seimbang dan menyeluruh tanpa bertindak keterlaluan hingga memudaratkan diri. “Ia sangat menyedihkan apabila wanita di negara sanggup membazir dan mengeluarkan belanja yang banyak hanya untuk kecantikan sedangkan peruntukan itu boleh digunakan untuk tujuan yang lebih baik. “Contohnya, mereka boleh menyimpan wang itu untuk perancangan di masa hadapan memandangkan kos sara hidup di negara ini yang semakin meningkat,” katanya.

Tambah beliau, wanita di negara ini perlu menjadikan kes mangsa-mangsa produk kecantikan yang teraniaya hingga menyebabkan kematian sebagai teladan.

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

Komen: Menghilangkan tekanan/stress itu betul, tapi jangan pula beri tauke kosmetik itu ribuan ringgit, wang kerja keras anda - senyum lebar tauke kosmetik itu. 

Scenario 1: 

Tauke: Ini berharga RM245 satu botol. 

Wanita: Mahal tu. 

Tauke: Tapi ini hanya berharga RM250 satu botol. 

Wanita: Kenapa pula? 

Tauke: Krim ini sangat baik, sangat mujarab. Sapu beberapa kali, muka mesti lembut, putih dan cantik!  

Wanita: Ok, I nak 2 botol yang berkualiti itu. 

Tauke: Itu pilihan sangat baik dan bijak, jangan lupa datang lagi, nanti I bagi lagi banyak diskaun kat you and kawan-kawan you next time. (Dalam diam tauke itu tersenyum lebar, teringat Bank... heheh... 'trick' aku jadi lagi).

Danger of Escalator ('Bahaya Eskalator') !!

Comment:

Escalator is a dangerous place, do not let children play near or on it, children hands and feets are small, and can easily get caught, also its advisable to hold their hands (or better still carry them) while on an escalator.

Also plastic or PVC shoes and slippers are easily caught at the edge of the escalator (adult or children) and long clothing, such as, pants, long dress, head scarf, are among the few prone to get caught by the iron escalator teeth. Beware!!!

Note: Also shopping centre Maintenance Unit (and Management Department) should always maintain, and put up appropriate signage on the danger of the escalator !! In some developed countries, it is already gazetted as legally obligatory to put up precaution signage, and reminder to parents.

Bawa jari anak ke hospital

Oleh MOHAD HARZRUL AMINUDDIN

harzrul@hemtro.com.my

MUAR: “Saya terus mengambil dua jari anak yang putus sebelum membawanya ke Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah (HPSF),” kata Ahmad Imran, 37, di Ledang dekat sini, semalam. Ahmad ditemui di pekarangan HPSF ketika menghantar anak lelakinya berusia dua tahun, Mohd Faizal, untuk menerima rawatan kecemasan selepas dua jari kanak-kanak itu putus kerana tersepit pada eskalator sebuah pasar raya di bandar berkenaan, jam 6 petang kelmarin.

“Bagaimanapun, luluh hati saya kerana proses penyambungan dua jari yang putus itu di Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) di Cheras, Selangor, menemui kegagalan,” katanya.

Mengimbau kejadian, Ahmad berkata, Faizal dibawa sepupunya ke pasar raya untuk membeli makanan ringan.

Menurut Ahmad, ketika menggunakan eskalator itu, ia terhenti secara tiba-tiba, mengakibatkan Faizal terjatuh bersama sepupunya. “Cubaan mengangkat Faizal gagal kerana dua jari, masing-masing satu di tangan kanan serta kiri, tersepit, namun terpaksa direntap, menyebabkannya putus. “Saya mendapat panggilan telefon memaklumkan kejadian itu sebelum bergegas ke pasar raya yang terletak satu kilometer dari rumah di Jalan Haji Yunus,” katanya.

Bagaimanapun, sebaik tiba lima minit kemudian, Ahmad hanya mampu melihat anak lelakinya meraung kesakitan. Menurut Ahmad, eskalator terbabit kerap rosak dan sering berhenti secara tiba-tiba sejak beberapa minggu lalu.

Selain putus dua jari, mangsa luka di kedua-dua belah tangan, menyebabkan dia menerima beberapa jahitan. Ahmad kemudian membuat laporan polis berkaitan kejadian di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Muar.

Note: What can the police do in this situation? Well not much but to said 'Oh, its an accident, please be careful next time around.' But still, an official police report is important, to follow through, and maybe filed an official 'law sue' of negligence on the part of the Store Manager, Management Team, and Director - for not putting up sufficient precaution signage, and maintain the escalator well.
