The basic of breast cancer

I'm not a doctor, but my husband, Dr Syed always ask me to do self examination at least once a week to avoid something that nothing is impossible. It is better to avoid it happen then all women outside there, please do something for your self. 
  • Breast canser comprises 22.9 per cent of all cancers in women and approximately 81 per cent of cases occur in those over the age of 50    
  • According to the National Cancers Institute there were an estimated 232,620 new cases (230,480 female, 2,140 male) and 39,970 deaths (39,520 female and 450 male) in the US in 2011
  • There are several types of breast cancer - devided into non-invasive and invasive types - which can be diagnosed at different stages of development and can grow at different rates
  • There are a number of symtoms but the most common form of detection is a lump or thickening in the breast tissue
  • If cancer is detected at an early stage, it can be treated before its spreads to other parts of the body

Getting started on e-reading in Singapore

Hai, any of you guy use an e-reading. I think a bit difficult to find in Malaysia. An e-book reader is similar in form to a tablet computer. It is a portable device designed for purpose is not recognized in Malaysia. Samsung Galaxy Tab is not exclusively an e-reader. It’s a tablet PC like the iPad and can act as an reader as well and cheaper than iPad. I’II just wait for the Samsung Tab 2 or the latest and cheapers. Meantime I may have to wait till I graduate to buy it...

What is it like reading a book on the phone or on the iPad compared with paper book? E-reading in Singapore has started and surprisingly they says, reading on the phone is easy because a cellphone scarcely weight anything, sharper focus than on the paper, the font size is adjustable and turning pages is a breeze. We can keep your entire book in your pocket instead of one at a time under your arm. Place it automatically bookmark. When go back to the reading app. The device takes you to the exact page or even paragraph you were reading when you last it. 


On the other hand, there are disadvantages to reading a book on the iPad. You can’t conveniently hold a low flat latte in one hand.  Little cellphone or an iPhone or Ipad surely have limitations. You can download over 2,000 books on the Iphone/Ipad and you still use no more 10% of the device total memory. They expected have phones with large memories and can take every book in Kinokuniyo and still have memory to spare.        
  
Thus, e-reading in Malaysian will coming soon. I too wanted to see what is like reading an e-book. Maybe, when I was done experimenting, I didn’t want to go back to paper books.

Take control of your child and the Internet














There are millions children on networking, maybe they are our children. How you manage your children use digital activity. There some tips what we can do to protect young children’s digital activities. There must be a trust and respect and an open relationship so that if your children do come across content that makes them uncomfortable, they can talk to you without being judged and that you can help them to think.





Taking “Holds their hand” online.
Children need to have a clear understanding of the role and responsibilities of a digital, enable them to enjoy the opportunities online world and also taking responsibilities for being sensible and risk-aware.
Do not spy on teenager’s online activity
We want to raise our children with respectful, confident, independent human beings by parenting them in the ways that enable them to have their own internal models of how to be good person.
Take the age limit for facebook seriously
Should you allow your children to put in false date of birth just because all their friends have? Children should not be encouraged to lie about the principle. Sometimes very necessary now allowing doing something that everybody else is doing. Vice versa you have to take full responsibility as a parent and ensure your child is fully equipped to deal a social networking.
Appropriate security and privacy setting to minimize risk
Set privacy settings and use other security measures available to enjoy social networking in safe.
Explain the risk of online friendships
There are 2 facets to social networking, 1st interact with friends, 2nd extend your networks. Many children’s use social networking sites become seduced by having enormous friends and they competes each others. Children must understand that online is real life social network.
Educated your child about pornography
You will need to have conversations with them about what they might see.
Adolescent boys will look at Porn online and girls also affected
Make sure that your son does not developed unhealthy attitude to sex. Boys tend to want a look more than girls. There is danger that it will develop their own sexual behaviors. Your daughter is also affected when images of women have altered to be more sexuality and give them negative view.
Don’t burry your head in the sand
If you find out that he/she has been watching porn at someone else house, do not hesitate to talk to parents. You would do so if your child had been doing anything inappropriate, and this is no different.

Children need to be taught how to value and respect each other; this is much bigger issue than that relating on to pornography. Safe internet surfing steps:
Easy way to monitoring your child internet activity is to place the computer at the busiest room in the house.
Dont hover over them while they surf the internet, show them trust. Address difficult topics such as pornography and talk about it with your kids.

So…Lets we try and good luck!

Impact of Personal Data Protection Laws

Mudah.my – online ‘pasar malam’

Last 2 years my friends had told me, if you have used furniture, 2nd hand vehicle or even magnet fridge for sale, they advise me to advertise in mudah.my. Within a day your products were sold. 1st time I heard, feel one day I would like to try. One day my husband would like to sell his fishing equipment. I inform him that lets we try through mudah.my. Then, within one hour we receive a few calls from customers. My husband manages to sell with reasonable price. It’s unbelievable online. Not even fasters but exchange for money. It’s thru MUDAH.



However, www.mudah.my is not e-commerce. It is an online platform, purely a place for advertisements, by professional advertisers or the man on the street. Mudah.my connect buyers and sellers and most of the actual transaction happen on mudah.my site. People don’t use credit card online. It is good for security and data protection.



Compare e-commerce case, management is in doing pre-ad reviews before they are posted online. There are a million ads on the site. If mudah.my didn’t refuse some, fraud rate will arise. Overall mudah.my have successful build dominance online ‘pasar malam’ and trust their user and change to focus on monetizing the business. I believe that mudah.my gained to further develop the mudah.my brand to attract more advertising dollars.



Mudah.my uses the level of higher trust in market. The best done, when buyer have a look at the item and negotiating happen at mudah. This is what happens in mudah.my. This will make good relationship where buyers and sellers can meet. Obviously, those looking for good bargains end up looking at times outside their region. Mudah.my become more MUDAH.

Makes Your Marketing Mobile



Normally brand of mobile says that they don’t have mobile strategy but in reality they probably have advertising strategy. We can’t always get what you want via mobile but only get what you need. For example, we still give email address because we unable to fill out a long registration through mobile alone. Customers then follow up via email with the registration, offer details, or provide a brochure after.





What your perspective if I’m used 4 sample rules of companies should think when considering and creating campaigns using mobile: Who is your audience? Currently, it’s a mass medium appeals to all audience compare last 3 years is teenagers. However if target retirees, may not have reach. Mobile audience has become part of their daily life and attractive group. Smartphone with full HTML browsers are now widely available and communication company should has seen their audience various demography and not only for teenagers. What is the objective? To built awareness of a product or services? Such us, promote a sale, generate leads sample or sell the products. This entire objective can be executed in mobile, even if they may not be executed exactly the same way they are implemented. Consumer already understood all that is advertising strategy on the mobiles. What is the communication strategy? Most plans currently are integrated channel performing a task as part of an overall strategy. Mobiles are only as a role to play. This is only expansion of the online plan but also link with events and sponsorships promotions or to help offline media become interactive. Brand fit mobile? It is relevant to the space. All things just do not translate to small screen. This all must keep in mind when planning the strategy.



Refer to research group International Data Company (IDC) expert’s mobile internet in Malaysia annual growth rate at 41% over the next 2 years. Ultimately, the future trend of mobile advertising will be better integration of mobile and PC campaigns, as there is increasingly complementary usage between the 2 mediums. Mobile advertising whether in an application or on the mobile internet, follows many similar
patterns to traditional and internet marketing.
