I got an ATAR of 99.85 but the true high achievers are my parents Daniel Hu I remember sitting in a classroom 13 years ago ready to start kindergarten, eager to learn the English alphabet and how to count to 100. I thought I was going to have a great time. I soon realised all the other kids could communicate and speak English quite fluently for their age, and then there was me, still struggling to introduce myself to the class … for more, go to  http://www.smh.com.au/national/education/i-got-an-atar-of-9985-but-the-true-high-achievers-are-my-parents-20171218-h06dd8.html Malaysia, please stop rejecting, killing talent! Talent needs to be honed! Just what is Malaysia’s education system and policy promoting for the country? Isn’t it amazingly ridiculous that the recognition of the UEC examination and MCA’s UTAR degrees have been politicised for decades to the hilt till today? “Why is the federal government withholding recognition of certificates from the two institutions of...

Merry X’mas … do pray for continuous peace and harmony in Malaysia and the rest of the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6nYIo88mkc   (VIDEO: Merry X’mas and Happy New Year remix) https://youtu.be/jJg_rsxrw2g   (VIDEO: Pek Moh wishes Malaysians a fun Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year) https://youtu.be/6fGwgV4bqcM   (VIDEO:  Merry X'mas on a more serious note ...) What are your New Year Resolutions? Whatever they may be, it will all be meaningless if there is no domestic and global peace. As we welcome the Christmas Celebrations and 2018 (New Year), it is quite clear that two international and global disputes are set to dominate tensions in 2018 - North Korea’s continuous pursuit of nuclear arms development and Israel-Palestine’s protracted disputes. Domestically, 2018 is the 14th General Election (GE14) year. Irresponsible politicians, individuals and organisations are, therefore, set to say and do whatever it takes to win the support of t...

The top 10 most hacked passwords of 2017 Some are new but most are the same as every year By  Cal Jeffrey  on Dec 19, 2017, 3:43 PM SplashData  each year compiles a list of the most commonly used bad passwords scraped from stolen credentials. You would think that year after year, people would learn to improve their password habits. Instead, we find the same overused passwords retaining their popularity. The two most used in 2017 were “123456” and “password.” Those terrible choices have maintained the number one and number two positions respectively since SplashData started tracking bad passwords in 2011. The number three pick was always “12345678,” but it was dethroned by "12345" in  2015  and then “qwerty” in 2016. However, it has regained its title this year as the third most hacked password … for more, go to  https://www.techspot.com/news/72386-top-10-most-hacked-passwords-2017.html   Are any of the world’s most hacked passwor...

THE VOORHES AUTHOR: CHELSEA LEU CHELSEA LEU SCIENCE 03.15.17 04:35 PM HOW LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES TURN INTO SKIN-SEARING FIREBOMBS WHO RUNS THE world? Lithium-ion batteries! (Sorry, Beyoncé.) Ever since Sony commercialized the chemistry in 1991, Li-ion cells have powered everything from the Mars Curiosity rover to the device you’re using to read these words. The tech has endured for good reason: It charges quickly, fits a ton of energy into a slim package (lithium is the lightest metal and is highly reactive), and is generally pretty safe. But when things go wrong, they go very wrong. Scores of Galaxy Note 7s and hoverboards have succumbed to the fiery embrace of a malfunctioning Li-ion battery. Here is what’s inside the little fuel packs that power your life—and how they can turn into battery flambé … for more, go to  https://www.wired.com/2017/03/lithium-ion-batteries-turn-skin-searing-firebombs/ Travellers warned to be wary of the dangers of lithium ion battery-powered gad...
