lifetime

by Mary Rourke Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the Titanic, the ocean-liner that sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean, died today. She was 97. She died at a nursing home near Southampton, England, the port where she and her family boarded the ship on its only voyage, according to Charles Haas, the president of the Titanic International Society. Her death came on the 98th anniversary of the launching of the Titanic on May 31, 1911. "She was a remarkable, sparkling lady," Haas told the Los Angeles Times today. "She knew her place in history and was always willing to share her story with others, especially children. She was the last living link to the story." Dean was about 8 weeks old when she and her family set sail, third class, on the luxury ocean liner on April 10, 1912. Five days later, she was among some 700 passengers and crew rescued off the coast of Newfoundland. She and her mother,

kemaskini 7.35pm Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur mengumumkan Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin sebagai menteri besar sah Perak setelah digugurkan jawatan tersebut, awal Februari lalu. Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi (Bahagian Rayuan dan Kuasa-kuasa Khas) Datuk Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim memutuskan bahawa Nizar tidak mengosongkan jawatannya itu kerana beliau tidak kehilangan kepercayaan majoriti anggota DUN. Dalam kes ini, Abdul Aziz berkata tiada undi tidak percaya telah diusulkan terhadap Nizar, lapor Bernama . "Bagaimana seseorang boleh mengatakan yang pemohon (Nizar) telah hilang kepercayaan majoriti mengikut Perkara 16(6) Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Perak?" "Berdasarkan amalan demokrasi, isu kehilangan kepercayaan majoriti hanya boleh diambil kira melalui undi tidak percaya terhadap pemohon (Nizar), hanya melalui cara ini menteri besar boleh disingkirkan," Abdul Aziz dipetik berkata dalam penghakiman bertulis yang disampaikannya pada 2.30 petang. Pada 13 Februari lalu, Nizar mem

Koleksi foto-foto tersebut termasuk majlis rasmi wanita muda itu yang turut disertai suaminya di negeri berkenaan. Selain blog yang aktif, muncul juga blog yang baru dibangunkan secara misteri untuk memuatkan foto-foto tersebut - kesemuanya tidak diketahui tarikh ia dirakam dan lokasinya. Dalam Truth Appeared yang dibina 13 April lalu, satu siri foto menunjukkan Manohara Odelia sedang menikmati sajian bersama suaminya diterbitkan semalam. Beliau yang berpakaian kemeja putih lengan panjang, berselendang kelabu kelihatan menyuapkan makanan di sebuah kafeteria. Daripada empat keping gambar itu, kelihatan suaminya berkemeja T putih dengan hiasan nombor tiga di bahagian lengan duduk di sebelah kirinya. Dengan judul 'Mangsa penculikan suami?', blog yang tidak dikenali itu menyebut: "Inilah wajah terbar

There is a difference but what constitutes a life and what constitutes a lifestyle is pretty ambiguous. One thing that seems pretty clear to me is the lifestyle is observable while a life can have many internal aspects to it. A lifestyle can include people, material things, environments, how we spend our time, energy, and money. A life includes things like our beliefs, our values, our commitments, our soul’s dream, and our vision. If you choose a lifestyle first you could wind up with an empty fortress. If you choose the life first, you will design your lifestyle to support the life. Since most of us already have a lifestyle, and a default life, we usually have to do some redesign work. Choose a life and then redesign our lifestyle. It is possible that the lifestyle you currently have will never support the life you truly want to live. It is possible the lifestyle you currently have has many supporting structures and only minor renovations need to occur. It is possib

How loud is your I Yes, that's a question? In other words, how loud Do you defend yourself? How loud do you uplift self? How loud and long do you Assert and exert yourself In an effort to lord yourself Over others, sisters, and brothers? Acquaintances, any and all people Within close proximity of proud you Coercing, telling people what to do Pushing, shoving, and rarely loving Faintly yielding, never simply letting People be happy, nor live authentically On the contrary, do you seek to control? Dictate your will and contaminate the soul? If so, then you and the devil has often stole Time, talents, energy, resources, and life From precious people created in God's image Brutal and belligerent, you're marred visage Insecure and ignanimous bearing reproach As you try to live with yourself and cope Playing superior and pontificating royally It is you my dear who are actually the dope Perhaps you need to cleanse your heart Also your abrasive mouth with some soap Reckon your impol

Do you fish with live worms? How do you transfer them from fishing spot to fishing spot? If you're a sedentary angler who doesn't move around much while fishing, this isn't a problem, but if you're like me and move from place to place, crossing the river as you fish, transporting live worms can be an issue. Just stuffing the container that live worms are purchased in, into your pocket or fishing vest simply doesn't cut it. The container ends up smashed, and the next thing you know there are loose worms all over the place. The answer to this problem is amazingly simple. It's called a bait bag. You can make a bait bag yourself or purchase one it makes little difference, what's important is that you begin using one sooner, rather than later. A bait bag hangs off of your fishing vest, shirt, or belts and carries your live worms while fishing. The concept is as simple as it gets, and once you use one, you'll wonder how you ever fished without it. Many anglers
