Science/TechnologyLegend Of A Great Flood by adokhai(op): 4:47pm On Feb 20, 2018
Two tribes of Highlanders, Lisu and Hmong have legend of a great flood. In the Hmong legend, ''Lord of the sky'' warns two brothers that flood will soon engulf the earth, he asked the older brother who was violet to build an iron boat and the younger brother who was gentle to construct wooden one. He told the younger one to take his sister, as well as a male and female of each animal species and two seeds from every type of plant aboard the wooden vessel.
True to prophesy, the flood came, the iron boat sink, but the wooden boat float. A rainbow shaped dragon then dries the earth. Finally the younger brother marries his sister, and their descendants populated the earth. This is similar to the account documented in the bible in Genesis

Do You believe this legend?

CultureColourful Hill Tribes by adokhai(op): 9:28pm On Feb 19, 2018
This tribes lives in the Northern Thailand, characterized by mountains, rivers, and fertile valleys stretching out into Myanmar and Laos. The country Thailand is made up of about 65 million people which includes a minority of 23 ethnic group referred to as hill tribes. Most hill tribes settlers arrived there within the past 200 years. The karen, the largest of the six major tribes, came from Myanmar. The Lahu, Lisu, and Akha arrived from Yunnan, in China's southwest highlands. And the Hmong and Mien came from central China. The tribe migrated largely due to wars, social pressure, and competition for fertile land, the area prove to be a refuge as it was remote, mountainous and mostly uninhibited, and Thailand allowed the immigrant to stay. Soon hill tribe villages dotted the landscape, with different tribes settling side by side and forming a mosaic of cultures and languages.

#Distinctive Dress and Colorful Customs #
Each tribe can be easily identified by there way of dressing. Akha women, for example wear elaborate silver head dresses, which resemble elegant towers draped with tassels embroidery, and coins. Some of their other head covering look like helmet made of mail, of metal pieces, decorated with gleaming buttons, beads, and balls. Mien women look striking in their ornately embroidered trousers, which may take up to five years to make. Stylish turbans, ankle length tunics with red ruff collars and indigo sashes complete their glamorous outfits.

In their full regalia, hill tribe women wear an array of silver ornaments that jingle and sparkle, announcing their status and wealth to admiring onlookers and potential suitors. Other fashion accessories may feature glass, wood and tarn.
Karen teenagers, for example dress up more for funerals than for any other events, because scores of teens turn out for these events, hoping to meet their future spouse. After sunset, the male and female join hands slowly circle the deceased, and sing traditional love songs throughout the night.
Hmong teens court while playing a special game at the new year festival. Boys and girls may be romantically attracted pair off, facing each other in lines several paces apart. Then a boy and a girl toss a soft cloth ball back and forth to each other. When one drops the ball deliberately or by accident he or she forfeit a small ornaments to the other person.

Coping With Change
Long before now hill tribes settlers practiced slash and burn farming, felling virgin forest to plant crops and raise livestock, this however caused serious environmental hazards. Now the land is managed responsibly with beneficial result. Living as they do in the Golden Triangle, many hill tribes used to grow opium, nowadays, though they grow coffee , vegetables, fruits, and flowers thanks to crop substitution programs sponsored by the Thai royal family and international aid agencies. Many highlanders also sell goods, services, and traditional handicrafts to growing tourists trade. Nevertheless, poverty, poor sanitation, and illiteracy make life a struggle for many. Other negatives include declining natural resources, cultural change, racial prejudice, and drug and alcohol abuse. The ancestors of the hill tribes fled to Thailand to escape similar problems.But where can refuge be found?

HealthStuttering by adokhai(op): 8:31pm On Feb 18, 2018
How to cope with it
A situation were someone is stuck with words, i.e unable to fully complete a word fluently. Such is the case with some 60 million people world wide, 1 in 100 people stutter. They are often ridiculed and discriminated against, and can even be viewed as less intelligent because they substitute troublesome words with simpler ones that they can articulate.

Do you know the cause?
Some people believe it is cause by evil spirit, which needs to be exorcised. In the middle Ages, the tongue was considered the culprit, the solution used then was hot irons and spices. However, in later centuries surgeons cut the nerves and muscles of the tongue and even performed tonsillectomies to cure stuttering. But those harsh method all failed to meet their objective.Modern research suggests that stuttering may have several contributing factors rather than single cause. One factor may be a person's response to stress. Another may be genetics, for about 60 percent of people who stutter have relative with the same problem. Moreover, research using neuroimaging suggests that stutterer's brain processes languages differently according to Dr. Nathan in his book "Understanding Stuttering''
The major cause may not necessarily be psychological, as was once believed. This means stuttering is not affected by belief, and stutterers can't be ''psyched'' into fluency'' says the book 'No miracle cures.' People who stutter may, however, develop psychological problems as a result of their condition. For instance, they may fear certain situations, such as speaking in public or on he telephone.


Help for Those Who Stutter
Surprisingly, stutterers usually sing, whisper, talk to themselves or their pets, speak in chorus, or impersonate others with little or no stuttering. Moreover, 80 percent of children who stutter recover spontaneously . But what about the remaining 20 percent.
Today there are speech therapy programs that can improve fluency. some techniques involve relaxing the jaw, lips and tongue and breathing from the diaphragm. Patients may also taught to do ''gentle onsets'' which involve taking smaller breath from the diaphragm and releasing a little air as a lead in to speaking. Additionally, they may be encouraged to prolong vowels and certain consonants. The rate speech is gradually increased as fluency improves.

Be Realistic
According to speech pathologist Robert Quesal who himself stutters, perfect fluency under all circumstances is not realistic goal for most sufferers. Rafael, mentioned at the onset, has not been able to overcome the disorder completely, although his fluency has improved. He says ''My problem becomes more evident when i have to read or speak before the public of when I am in the company of someone of the opposite sex who is attractive. I used o be quite self conscious because people made fun of me. Lately, though, I have tried to accept myself as I am and not take myself too seriously. So now when a word cause me to stutter, I may laugh, but then I try relax and go on''


How can You help Someone Who Stutters
Provide a relaxed, unhurried environment
Instead of telling the stutterer to slow down, set example by speaking more slowly yourself. Listen patiently. Do not interrupt. Do not finish sentences for him. Pause be replying.
Avoid criticism and correction. By appropriate eye contact, facial expression, body language, and comments, show interest in what he says, not how he says it.
Stuttering should not be a taboo subject. A friendly smile and an occasional kind acknowledgement of the problem can put the one who stutters more at ease.
Above all, convey your acceptance of him as he is.

TravelThe Canoe by adokhai(op): 8:51pm On Feb 17, 2018
Canada's ''Perfect Vehicle''
The design and construction methods varies due to factors such as functions and natural resources. For instance, people of Canada's west coast built dugout canoes by hollowing out giant red cedars. The shell was filled with water and hot stones.
This softened the wood so that it could be suitably shaped, Some of these canoes could carry up to two tons, and they were both fast and safe at sea, where they were used to hunt large sea animals, including whales.Canada's lakes and rivers were, indeed ideal highways and the canoes were considered the perfect vehicle. It enabled Native Americans to explore, hunt, and transport goods. A French explorer Samuel de Champlain crossed the Atlantic Ocean and sailed up to the St. Lawrence River in what is today Canada. Soon he encountered a major obstacle at the site of Montreal; the Lanchine Rapids, Any efforts to get his boats past the rapid would be in vain, in his journal he wrote in 1603. Dense forest made travel on foot impossible, so how then did he continue! Canoes, this was made possible from the lesson he learnt from the indigenous people.
In the North American, the birch bark canoe was the most famous, formed from the outer rind of birch trees. Thanks largely to a substance called betulinol, birch bark which is both durable and impervious to water. ''A birch bark canoe can go through rapids that would damage a wood and canvas canoe,''explained by canoe builder David Gidmak.

Materials includes birch wood, cedar wood, spruce roots and tree resin.
Construction methods were impressive. The native people ''make no use of nails and screws but everything is sewn and tied together'' reported a 19th century observer.
Before the railway era, the canoe was the fastest and most reliable means of transportation in North America.


Canoeing Today
Canoeing is still popular in Canada but mainly as a form of recreation. Sadly, suitable trees to build good birch bark canoes are becoming increasingly scarce. Other materials are readily available, though, including aluminium, canvas, wood and fiberglass.
Bill Mason, a famous canoeist, added another dimension to canoeing when he said '' A journey by canoe along ancient waterways is a good way to rediscover our lost relationship with nature and the creator who put it all together so long ago'' Hope you a agree to this ?

(a) Your reason for quitting
(b)Phone contacts to call when you feel like smoking
(c) Thought, quotes and inspirational songs that will help you towards your goal


Weaken the link proactively; Prior to your quit date, begin disrupting any habit linked to our smoking, for example, if you smoke as soon as you get up in the morning, put off smoking for an hour or so. If you smoke during meal or immediately afterward, break the routine. Avoid places where others smoke. And privately practice saying aloud; ''No thanks, I have quit smoking.'' such steps will do more than prepare you for the day you quit.

Get set; As your quit date nears stock up oral substitutes; carrot sticks, gum, nuts,and so on. Remind your friends and family of your quit date and how they can support you, just before that day dispose of ash trays, lighters, and any booby traps such as cigarettes lying around your home, in your car or pockets, or at your place of work. To be sure, it is harder to ask a friend for a cigarette or to buy a pack that to reach into a drawer for one!

BusinessWhat Must Change by adokhai(op): 8:03pm On Feb 11, 2018
''Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.''
This above statement was made by Ronald Reagan, in his inaugural address as the 40th president of the United States of America, More than three decades have passed, when United States was really faced with colossal challenge, an economic afflictions of great proportions, as Reagan called it, '' We suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflation in our national history'' he explained. '' For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the the present. To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social cultural, political and economic upheavals,'' he further emphasized that ''The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades. They will not go away in days, weeks, or months''
How is the situation presently! A recent report of the U. S Department of Housing and Urban Development stated, '' Increasing numbers of people are vulnerable to overburdened infrastructure, inadequate housing, and outmoded health system, In fact, the United Nations agency UN HABITAT projects that within three decades one of three people will live near total despair lacking sanitation and clean water, exposed to the imminent effects of climate change, fueling the spread of disease and possible pandemics.

How can this ugly trend be curbed, your contribution will be highly appreciated
